PR 4 of the in-place admin router split (docs/website/API_V2_PLAN.md § Phase 2),
and the last admin one: it moves the entire residual 33 and DELETES
admin.routes.js. Every one of the 110 admin routes is now declared in a
capability router. No URL, gate or handler changes.
shard.router.js (16) /admin/shard
uoLink.router.js ( 5) /admin/uo-link
email.router.js ( 6) /admin/email
discordBot.router.js ( 2) /admin/discord-bot
settings.router.js ( 2) /admin/settings
dashboard.router.js ( 2) GET /dashboard + PUT /site-mode, at the group root
admin.routes.js deleted, was 33
No gate moved to router level. Every adminOnly in the residual file was
per-route, and modAccess on /shard must stay per-route because half that router
must not have it — which keeps the per-route handler count intact, the one
number routes.guards.json can actually check.
/shard is the first prefix where two tiers share one router: 7 self-service
account-linking routes (no extra gate, served by the same player/shard
controller handlers, tagged `Admin · Account`) alongside 9 in-game staff ops on
modAccess. Prefix ownership beats tag grouping — splitting by tag would put two
routers under one prefix for no gain. The tag mismatch stays; retagging is a
real spec diff and belongs in a PR about tags.
dashboard.router.js is the one router mounted at the group root rather than a
prefix: GET /dashboard and PUT /site-mode share no path segment. That is safe
only because the file declares no router-level middleware — a bare use(gate) in
a root-mounted router would run for every request passing through toward
another mount. The file carries a comment saying so.
Acceptance — all four gates zero-diff:
routes.manifest.json unchanged (200 public + 2 internal)
routes.guards.json unchanged (no route lost or gained a gate)
swagger-output.json unchanged (198 operations)
api-route-inventory.json already in sync
plus 434 server tests green.
Verified separately, because no gate can catch it: introspecting the built
stack, all 59 literal admin paths still dispatch to their own layer — nothing
is captured first by a /:param sibling. The manifest sorts its entries, so
declaration order is invisible to it.
Also repoints the comments that referenced admin.routes.js by name
(botActivity/moderation controllers, the town-crier cap mirror in
announceJobs.logic.js) and generalizes the "the path is on the line after
router.get(" rationale in routeManifest.js, README.md and pr-checks.yml, which
was never about that one file.

PR 0 of the router domain split (docs/website/API_V2_PLAN.md § Phase 2). The
split promises that admin.routes.js can be carved into one router file per
business capability without moving a single URL. That promise has to be proved
by a diff, not asserted in review — this lands the tool that proves it, with no
router file moved.
scripts/routeManifest.js walks the live Express stack (runtime introspection,
not source parsing: route paths in admin.routes.js sit on the line *after*
`adminRouter.get(`, which defeats greps) and writes a sorted { method, path }
list to routes.manifest.json. It reproduces the frozen baseline in
docs/website/api-route-inventory.json byte-for-byte — 199 public routes plus 2
on the internal listener — so the freeze is confirmed accurate, not just
claimed.
Scope is /api/** and /.well-known/** plus the internal app. The SPA catch-all,
/uploads and /brand are filesystem-conditional static mounts, so including them
would make the output depend on whether CI had built the client. Static mounts
are not API contract.
Also emits routes.guards.json — a review aid, not a contract: per route, the
handler count and the *named* middleware on its mount chain. Router-level
`use(noindex, isLoggedIn, staffOnly)` gates never appear in an individual
route's own stack, so an extracted capability router that forgot to re-apply
one would otherwise publish authenticated endpoints silently. Names are a hint
only (requireRole(...) returns an anonymous arrow), but a vanished requireAuth
is unambiguous — and the test suite asserts every /admin/** and /player/**
route still carries it.
The plan's optional unauthenticated-status snapshot was tried and dropped, as
it allowed: against the dead-port mariadb pool the tests use, the sweep sits on
the pool's acquire timeout and had not finished after two minutes. A flaky
two-minute gate is worse than none; the requireAuth assertion covers the same
regression deterministically.
CI runs `npm run routes:manifest -- --check` on every PR, so a URL change can
only merge by deliberately committing the new manifest.
