The operator-written appid rules on this provider app (layer 2 of the denylist).

GET

/v1/admin/apps/{id}/library/rules

curl --request GET \
  --url http://localhost:8080/v1/admin/apps/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/library/rules \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

• A Quasar control-plane instance (e.g. a stack on :8080, a second stack on :18080). The server base carries NO path prefix — every path below is absolute from the origin and begins with /v1 (this matches the Go router's registered patterns, which the drift test compares against).

Phase 4. Newest first. Layer 1 is a code constant and updating it is a release; this is the layer an operator can write, and it is overlaid at runtime OVER layer 1 - which is what makes a wrongly-denylisted game recoverable without waiting for a deploy. Same {id} rule as the sibling reads: 400 validation_failed for a REAL app that is not a library provider, 404 only for an app id that does not exist. Two different operator mistakes, two different fixes.

Array<object>

One operator-written layer-2 rule. Layer 1 is a shipped code constant (an appid set plus case-insensitive Valve tool name prefixes) and UPDATING IT IS A CODE CHANGE AND A RELEASE - which is exactly why this layer exists, because an operator cannot wait for one.

rule

required

‘ignore’ suppresses an appid the built-in denylist does not know about; ‘allow’ un-suppresses a game it wrongly caught, and OUTRANKS the built-in list - rung 1 of the ladder sits above rung 3.

string

Allowed values: ignore allow

note

required

Why, for the next operator. Truncated at 512 characters.

string

created_by

required

The acting admin, resolved server-side from the bearer identity. NULL once that account is deleted (ON DELETE SET NULL, not CASCADE) - deleting the operator who wrote a rule must not silently un-suppress every appid they ignored.

string | null format: uuid

created_at

Set, and re-set on a replace.

session_id

Steam library discovery Phase 3, ADDITIVE: present on home_in_use when the guard could name the CONFLICTING live session - the one already holding the home. It is here so the client can offer “go to your running session” with a link instead of a dead-end toast. OMITTED rather than empty when the conflict is known but the session is not, so a client branches on presence and never renders a link to nowhere. Also omitted when the holder is the caller’s parked session or released runtime (amendment 39). Load-bearing once derived tiles exist: the lock is held by the PARENT’s home, so a user who clicks a game tile can be refused because a DIFFERENT app (the Steam launcher, or another game from the same install) is running, and without the session id the refusal reads as a bug. See control-api.md §Derived tiles.
