`POST /api/runners` — register a runner. System-admin auth. Returns the runner plus its plaintext bearer token, shown exactly once.
const url = 'https://example.com/api/runners';const options = { method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: '{"capabilities":{},"name":"example","token_ttl_secs":1}'};
try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request POST \ --url https://example.com/api/runners \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "capabilities": {}, "name": "example", "token_ttl_secs": 1 }'Request Bodyrequired

ADR 0046 Phase 5 — optional static-token TTL (seconds). Absent ⇒ the token never expires (byte-identical default); a positive value sets a fail-closed expiry (clamped to the floor). For defence-in-depth on first-party runners; third-party edge runners should prefer the JWT enrollment path.

{ "capabilities": {}, "name": "example", "token_ttl_secs": 1}Responses
Section titled “Responses”Runner registered; plaintext token returned once
The result of registering a runner: the runner row plus the plaintext bearer token, which is returned once and never retrievable again.
object
Free-form advertised capabilities (images/labels/max_parallel/weight/…).
Typed as an open string-keyed map in the spec (not Object, which strips
every key) so the FE binds the advertised capability map it reads (#541).

ADR 0046 RUNG 2 — graceful drain: active | cordoned | draining.
cordoned/draining runners receive no new work but keep heartbeating
and finish in-flight assignments. Always populated from the row (this type
is serialize-only), so no serde default is needed.

The canonical JSON body of every error response — the single source of truth
the frontend binds to. Every AppError serializes as this exact shape, and
the generated OpenAPI component ApiErrorBody (with its ErrorCode enum) is
what the frontend error schema is generated from, so there is no hand-written
error schema on either end.
object
Machine-readable, stable error code.
Present only on a quota-exceeded 403 — the inline upgrade-CTA payload.
object
The entitlement feature key that was hit, e.g. apps.max_count.
The plan’s limit for this key.
Where to send the user to upgrade.
Current usage (count or bytes, per the key).
Human-readable message (the server’s English text; the client may localize
by code).
