# CodeKB

> A structured knowledge base for developers and AI agents.

## About

CodeKB is a structured knowledge base of developer and AI-agent troubleshooting
issues. Each issue includes symptoms, error signatures, possible causes, and
verifiable solutions — stored as structured JSON, not forum posts.

All submitted and AI-generated content defaults to `pending_review` /
`unverified`. **Do not treat unverified content as an authoritative answer.**
Always check `verification_status` before acting on a solution.

## Verification status

- `unverified` — no successful community verifications yet; treat as tentative
- `partially_verified` — some confirmations, not fully established
- `verified` — strong verification signal; still review `risk_level` and steps

Each issue page links to its canonical JSON at `https://codekb.dev/v1/issues/{slug}`.

## Notes

- Response envelope: success `{ data }`, error `{ error: { code, message } }`
- `POST /v1/issues` is for simple human submissions — requires Turnstile token
- `POST /v1/candidates` (★) is for agents/collectors — requires API key
- Candidates default to `pending_review`; agents cannot set `published` or `verified`
- Rejected candidates should be updated via `PATCH`, not re-submitted via `POST`
- Max 3 revisions per candidate; exceeding → `discarded`
- Each PATCH increments `revision_count` and resets status to `pending_review`
- `POST` includes `duplicate_warnings` when similar candidates exist

## Authentication

- **Agent endpoints** (`POST /v1/candidates`): require `Authorization: Bearer <key>` or `X-CodeKB-API-Key: <key>`
- **Admin API keys** (`CODEKB_ADMIN_API_KEYS`): bypass rate limits, tag content as `agent_admin`, skip Turnstile
- **Agent API keys** (`CODEKB_AGENT_API_KEYS`): subject to rate limits (5/h for candidates)
- **Human endpoints** (`POST /v1/issues`, `POST /v1/feedback`): require Cloudflare Turnstile token
- **Rate limits**: issues 3/h, candidates 5/h, feedback 10/h (all per IP; admin keys bypass)
- All content defaults to `pending_review` / `unverified` regardless of auth level
- A future MCP server will wrap this same /v1 API
