docs(specs): rev 7 — delete the effect-to-layout link from spec 78 - #206
Merged
Conversation
Raised by the owner reviewing the promoted link types: an effect
linking a spatial layout inverts ownership (content silently
re-mapping the rig on apply), duplicates the concept Scene.layout_id
now owns in the right home, and was never adopted by the UI — its
only consumers were the CLI and the apply path itself.
Deleted: the three /effects/{id}/layout routes, the
effect-layouts.json store, apply's step-4 link resolution with its
layout outcome, and the playlist exemption that existed only because
of the link. Appendix A drops to 80 paths / 115 operations. The
deletion lands with wave 78.3's route slash; no migration, since the
successor is a field a user sets deliberately on a scene.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe API specification advances to revision 7. It removes effect-to-layout routes and storage, changes effect application behavior, removes the playlist exception, and updates the API inventory from 81 paths and 118 operations to 80 paths and 115 operations. ChangesAPI resource model
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR removes effect-to-layout routes and changes the apply contract, but conflicting route documentation and stale apply failure wording remain. Clients could follow endpoints that no longer exist or misinterpret apply responses, so the documentation should be corrected before merge. Possibly related PRs

Remove the stale effect-layout contract from the documentation set.
Line 102 deletes the three effect-layout routes, but docs/development/DEVICE_LAYOUT_API.md:233-270 still documents GET, PUT, and DELETE /effects/{id_or_name}/layout. Update or remove that section and add the file to the 78.3 documentation checklist at Line 265. Otherwise, clients can follow a published contract for routes that no longer exist.
Also applies to: 265-265

| **Side effects are part of the contract, in this order:** (1) validate effect, zone, controls — any failure returns before any state changes (today power wakes before validation, `domain/effect.rs:190-191`; this spec fixes that ordering as part of the wave); (2) commit the scene mutation; (3) wake paused output; (4) resolve the effect's linked layout, if any. Response: the updated **zone resource** (canonical §1.3 shape, carrying the new layer's id), the applied transition, and the layout-link outcome (`{ layout_id, applied }`) — a linked-layout failure after a successful commit stays visible, not swallowed. `ApplyEffectResponse`'s bespoke shape is deleted. | ||

| **Post-commit failure is a 200, and repair is targeted.** Once step 2 commits, the response is `200` with the outcome fields reporting any step-3/4 failure (`applied: false` plus a message) — never an error envelope, because the resource state the response describes is real. Error envelopes are reserved for step-1 refusals, where nothing changed. Clients repair a failed side effect through that side effect's own route (`PATCH /output`, `POST /layouts/{id}/apply`) rather than re-applying: a retried apply is not idempotent (it mints a fresh layer id, §1.4). The same rule governs activation's layout/brightness outcomes (§3.2). |

Remove the deleted step-4 and layout-outcome wording from the apply contract.
Line 112 still describes post-commit failures for “step-3/4” and returns applied: false with a message. Rev 7 has only three steps, and Line 110 defines the response as the updated zone resource plus the applied transition. Rewrite this paragraph to define the remaining output-wake failure fields explicitly.

💜 What
Spec 78 rev 7: the effect-to-layout link is deleted from the resource model — the three
/effects/{id}/layoutroutes, theeffect-layouts.jsonstore, apply's step-4 link resolution with its{ layout_id, applied }outcome, and the playlist exemption that existed only because the link did. Appendix A drops to 80 paths / 115 operations, and §9 records the decision.🔮 Why
An effect linking a spatial layout inverts ownership: layout is rig-level state, effects are content, and content silently re-mapping the rig on apply is the same class of spooky side effect §2.3's ordering fix exists to contain.
Scene.layout_id(added at rev 6 for the profile fold) owns the identical concept in the right home — a scene describes a configuration, so a scene may prefer a layout. The UI never adopted the link; its consumers were the CLI command and the apply path itself. Deleting it also leaves power as apply's only post-commit side effect, simplifying the outcome contract.The deletion executes with wave 78.3's route slash. The three link response types promoted in #205 die with their routes there, as scheduled shape-preserving casualties.
