UI-P1: favourite an app for the calling user (idempotent).

PUT
/v1/me/favourites/{app_id}
curl --request PUT \
--url http://localhost:8080/v1/me/favourites/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0 \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

RequireAuth — any authenticated account, explicitly NOT admin. The owner is the bearer identity; no endpoint in this surface takes a user_id. Idempotent (INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING) — a repeat PUT does not re-stamp created_at. 404 when the app id does not resolve under the SAME visibility rule as GET /v1/apps/{id} (non-admin: absent or disabled; admin: absent) — a 204 on a disabled app would confirm the existence of something the caller cannot read.

STEAM LIBRARY DISCOVERY PHASE 2: 403 forbidden when the caller is not entitled, checked AFTER the 404 above rather than folded into it. This is the one read-adjacent place the contract gives a distinguishable answer instead of a uniform 404, and it is a considered trade: GET /v1/apps/{id} is a READ, so collapsing “not entitled” into “not found” costs the caller nothing, but this is a WRITE the client offers as a toggle on a tile - an app the caller can no longer launch should say so rather than appear to have evaporated. The existence signal it concedes is bounded, since the caller must already hold a valid app UUID to reach it. APPLIED TO EVERY ROLE, ADMIN INCLUDED, unlike the visibility rule above: /v1/me/* is the user surface by definition, an admin favouriting an app that is not in their own library is meaningless, and a role arm here would be the first crack in the no-bypass rule.

app_id
required
string format: uuid

UI-P1: an app id in a path whose parameter is named app_id (PathId hardcodes name: id).

App favourited.

Malformed or invalid request.

Open string, not an enum: new codes are additive and an unknown one falls through to a client’s generic per-status branch.

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. 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.

derived_tiles

Steam library discovery Phase 3, ADDITIVE: present on the 409 conflict from DELETE /v1/apps/{id} when the app has derived tiles and ?delete_derived=true was not sent. A LIST, not a count - the point of the confirmation is that the admin sees what they are about to destroy. Capped; an empty array means the tiles could not be listed, never that there are none.
