verdande could not be added to Claude at all. The documented setup — POST /api/v1/mcp with an Authorization header — cannot be configured from Claude's custom-connector dialog, which asks for a name, a URL and OAuth client credentials and has no field for a bearer token. The instructions described something the interface does not offer. Worse, the obvious guess failed silently in the most misleading way available: /mcp was not a route, so the SPA fallback answered 200 with a page of HTML. The connector reported a successful connection and then failed to parse the response, which reads as a broken client rather than a missing endpoint. So /mcp exists now and takes its credential in the query string, exactly as the calendar feed does and for the same reason: a client that cannot be told to send a header means the address is the credential. The request logger records paths without their query strings, so the key does not reach the log. It is deliberately outside /api/v1 and accepts the key and nothing else. Reading a session cookie here would make it a state-changing POST outside the CSRF check — a cross-site request that acts as whoever is signed in — and there is a test that fails if that ever becomes true. The API path is unchanged for anything that can send a header. The tokens page now shows the connector address next to the token it belongs to, since that is the one moment the token exists.

The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
