Stéphane Tailland b2545f94f5 Stop caching reads on a read-write API
The proxy cache held every GET on the whole service for 60 seconds, and these
APIs accept writes. Kong's proxy cache has no invalidation on write: a POST
that changes a product passes through the same gateway, and the gateway goes on
serving the value it captured before it, for up to a minute, with nothing in the
response saying so.

It produced a real wrong answer. An agent woken by a stock event read the figure
from before that event and reported, in one sentence, "68 in stock, above the
threshold" and "it crossed the threshold, from 68".

The manifest is kept, unreferenced, carrying the reason — so reinstating it is a
decision rather than a rediscovery.

workforce-api

Kong routing/policy layer for the workforce slice of classic-models-api (see /Users/stephanetailland/git/classic-models-api), split out per the DDD decomposition in ../kong-konnect-deployment-strategy.md. The backend stays a single monolith — only Kong does the domain split. Structure mirrors ../sales-api/../payments-api — single MCP route from the start, not ../catalog-api's original two-route pattern (see ../STATUS.md section 18).

Two resources, both with a REST surface and MCP tools:

  • Office (single key officecode) — full CRUD + an employees sub-resource.
  • Employee (single key employeenumber) — full CRUD + reports (direct reports, self-referential FK) and customers (assigned sales rep's customers) sub-resources.
Route Method Backend path
/workforce/v1/offices/ GET, POST /classic-models/api/v1/offices/
/workforce/v1/offices/{officecode}/ GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE /classic-models/api/v1/offices/{officecode}/
/workforce/v1/offices/{officecode}/employees/ GET /classic-models/api/v1/offices/{officecode}/employees/
/workforce/v1/employees/ GET, POST /classic-models/api/v1/employees/
/workforce/v1/employees/{employeenumber}/ GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE /classic-models/api/v1/employees/{employeenumber}/
/workforce/v1/employees/{employeenumber}/reports/ GET /classic-models/api/v1/employees/{employeenumber}/reports/
/workforce/v1/employees/{employeenumber}/customers/ GET /classic-models/api/v1/employees/{employeenumber}/customers/
/workforce-mcp GET, POST, DELETE MCP streamable-http

Auth & MCP tool ACLs — the one domain where customer gets zero access

Both viewsets use ReferenceDataPermission (authentication/permissions.py): read_only/product_manager/support get read access, writes are admin-only, and — unlike every other domain built this session — customer is not in the allow-list at all, not even for reads. Verified directly against the permission class, not assumed: this is genuinely internal staff/organizational data, and the backend enforces that explicitly. All 7 read tools (list-offices, get-office, get-office-employees, list-employees, get-employee, get-employee-reports, get-employee-customers) have ACL [admin, read_only, product_manager, support] — no customer. Both write tools (create-office, create-employee) are admin only.

openid-connect on both surfaces (workforce-api REST audience, mcp-workforce MCP audience), RFC 8693 exchange chain MCP → workforce-api → classic-models-api. IdP: local Keycloak.

Structure

Same dev/ + kong/rest/ + kong/mcp/ layout as sales-api. Deploy key and broker secret reused/mirrored from catalog-api and the live broker client, same pattern as every domain since payments-api.
