+## 📡 API
+
+All endpoints live under `/api/v1/` and require session authentication (except login). Each route file in `server/routes/` corresponds to one module. Responses follow a consistent format: `{ data: ... }` on success, `{ error: string, code: number }` on failure. See [`docs/SPEC.md`](docs/SPEC.md) for the data model and [`server/routes/`](server/routes/) for endpoint details.
