API — Decisions

Settled

API is the heartbeat authority by polling agents.
Agent does not push heartbeat/state into API.
Semantic readiness uses /ready, not plain HTTP 200.
Portal should consume API-normalized state, not call agents directly for normal state/actions.
streaming upload proxy behavior should remain separate from generic non-streaming agentClient.js transport.
websocket console proxy behavior should remain separate from generic non-streaming agentClient.js transport.

when API work completes, remove it from OPEN_ITEMS.md
if it changes the long-lived architecture, update CURRENT_STATE.md or this file
