 # catalog-api
 
-Placeholder component repo for the **catalog** slice of
+Kong routing/policy layer for the **catalog** slice of `classic-models-api`
-`classic-models-api` (see /Users/stephanetailland/git/classic-models-api),
+(see `/Users/stephanetailland/git/classic-models-api`), split out per the
-split out per the DDD decomposition documented in

-`../kong-konnect-deployment-strategy.md`.
+itself stays a single monolith — only Kong does the domain split.
 
-This repo does not yet contain migrated application code — only the
+Two exposure surfaces of the same API, both proxying to the real

+
+## Auth
+
+`openid-connect` on both surfaces, with a distinct audience each
+(`catalog-api` for REST, `mcp-catalog` for MCP) and a real RFC 8693 token
+exchange chain: MCP → `catalog-api` → `classic-models-api` (REST's own
+exchange target), narrowing the token before it ever reaches the backend —
+the backend never sees a token minted for a different audience.
+`consumer_claims`/`consumer_by` map the JWT `sub` to a Kong Consumer for
+per-consumer rate limiting; `consumer_groups_claim` maps realm roles to
+Kong Consumer Groups for MCP's per-tool ACLs.
+
+## Other policies
+
+Per-consumer + API-level rate limiting, response caching (GET/HEAD),
+audit log (`http-log`, endpoint still a placeholder — no real log
+collector in this lab).
+
+## Structure
+
+- `dev/gitrepository.yaml` + `dev/flux-kustomization.yaml` — this repo,
+  self-referential; deploys `./kong` into the catalog domain's dev
+  environment (`dependsOn` the domain's Gateway infra in
+  `dataplane-catalog`).
+- `dev/externalsecret.yaml` — git deploy key (ESO/Vault).
+- `dev/token-exchange-broker-externalsecret.yaml` — the shared client
+  secret Kong uses to authenticate its own token-exchange calls to
+  Keycloak.
+- `kong/rest/`, `kong/mcp/` — see above.
+- `openapi.yaml` — extracted from the live backend, filtered to this
+  domain's paths/schemas.
