Tasks

All endpoints sit under /v1/tasks/:taskId/.... taskId is the workspace task UUID (or, for child workflows, parent:step:slug — the controllers split on : where they need the root id). Endpoints group into four families:

Lifecycle — what the UI renders and how the user responds (/ui, /snapshots, /action, /row-action).
Events — append-only timeline used for reasoning streams and audit (/events).
Files — upload, list, download, and provider-tagged ingest under /files.
Data ingest — structured JSON payload submission under /data/ingest.

Lifecycle

Combined UI state

GET /v1/tasks/:taskId/ui

Composes getTask + getNextStep from api-workspace into a single UIState payload that ui-tenant can render directly. The container resolves the tenant context from the task’s tenantId, auto-refreshing on cache mismatch — so the dev/e2e wipe-and-reseed flow works without restarting the process. Response (sketch)

{
  "task": { "id": "…", "title": "…", "status": "IN_PROGRESS", … },
  "step": {
    "id": "await_starting_tb",
    "title": "Upload trial balance",
    "displayHint": { "component": "FILE_UPLOAD", "config": {…} },
    "args": {…}
  },
  "steps": [{ "id": "period_open", "status": "COMPLETED" }, …]
}

Step snapshots

GET /v1/tasks/:taskId/snapshots

Pure pass-through of api-workspace’s /snapshots endpoint — what was shown + decided at each completed step. Fetched on demand when the user clicks a completed step in the sidebar. Response — Record<string, StepSnapshot> keyed by step id.

Approve / reject

POST /v1/tasks/:taskId/action

User’s response to an approval gate. Mapped to api-workspace’s /approve or /reject signal endpoint. Body — TaskActionDto:

{
  "type": "approved",
  "comments": "All extracted fields look correct."
}

Field	Type	Required	Notes
`type`	`"approved" \| "rejected"`	Yes	Mirrors the UI primary / failure CTAs.
`comments`	`string`	No	Free-text comment — recorded on the audit log; mapped to `reason` on the workspace signal.

Response — { "ok": true }.

DATA_TABLE row action

POST /v1/tasks/:taskId/row-action

Non-terminal row action — edit_cell or reject_row — forwarded to api-workspace as a user_action signal whose kind is row_action. Workflow handlers drain these via on_row_action (see UI and Temporal signals). Body — TaskRowActionDto:

{
  "ledger": "expenses",
  "action": "edit_cell",
  "rowId": "11111111-…",
  "field": "amount_gross",
  "value": "12.50"
}

Field	Required	Notes
`ledger`	Yes	Currently `"expenses"` only (server-validated allow-list).
`action`	Yes	`"edit_cell"` or `"reject_row"`.
`rowId`	Yes	Stable subledger row UUID.
`field`	For `edit_cell`	Column key (e.g. `amount_gross`).
`value`	For `edit_cell`	New scalar / null — coercion + validation in workflow / domain.

Response — { "ok": true }.

Events

Append-only timeline of task_events rows. Used for reasoning-stream rendering, audit, and the canvas “what happened next” feed.

Ingest a task event

POST /v1/tasks/:taskId/events

Internal producer endpoint. When NTRO_INTERNAL_EVENTS_KEY is set, requests must include x-ntro-events-key: <secret> — typically only ntro-worker emits to this endpoint. Body — TaskEventDto:

{
  "type": "reasoning.delta",
  "source": "worker",
  "sourceLabel": "April Rent Roll",
  "seq": 42,
  "payload": { "delta": "…" },
  "groupKey": "extract_fields"
}

Field	Type	Required	Notes
`type`	string (≤128)	Yes	e.g. `reasoning.delta`, `step.completed`, `source.submitted`.
`source`	string (≤64)	Yes	Producer — typically `"worker"`.
`sourceLabel`	string (≤256)	No	Human label for the source.
`seq`	int (≥0)	Yes	Monotonic per task / event stream.
`payload`	object	Yes	Event payload (free-form).
`groupKey`	string (≤128)	No	Optional thread / group id for streaming reasoning into a single panel.

Response — { "ok": true, "event": <persisted record> }.

List events

GET /v1/tasks/:taskId/events

Lists persisted events in seq order. No auth — the x-ntro-events-key requirement applies to writes only. Response

{ "events": [ { "type": "…", "seq": 1, "payload": {…}, … }, … ] }

Files

All endpoints sit under /v1/tasks/:taskId/files. Bytes live in tenant Postgres (ingest.submitted_documents.data_bytes).

List files for a task

GET /v1/tasks/:taskId/files?source=<source>

Returns up to 20 documents associated with the task, ordered by upload time descending. Used by the “viewing completed step” mode to find files attached to a previous file-upload step. Filter by source to scope to one runbook source slug. Filtering by taskId keeps the per-source list from leaking duplicate file rows across wipe-and-reseed cycles. Response

[
  {
    "id": "11111111-…",
    "filename": "rent-roll-may.pdf",
    "contentType": "application/pdf",
    "uploadedAt": "2026-05-12T09:00:00Z",
    "downloadUrl": "/v1/tasks/<taskId>/files/<id>/download"
  }
]

Upload a file (browser / script path)

POST /v1/tasks/:taskId/files

Bytes inline in the request body (typically base64-encoded). NOT advertised to agents in next_step — sandboxed agents often can’t reach this URL. Same persist + signal flow as the agent path. Body — UploadFileDto:

Field	Required	Notes
`source`	Yes	Stable source identifier — workflow activities query by this.
`data`	Yes	Base64 of the file bytes.
`fileName`	No	Optional override; otherwise derived.
`contentType`	No	MIME type; guessed from filename if omitted.
`period`	No	Period qualifier (`"YYYY-MM"`).
`schemaSlug`	No	Extraction schema slug used downstream.
`signalTaskId` / `signalName`	No	Workflow ID + signal name to fire after persist. From `next_step.args`.

Response — UploadResult describing the persisted document + any side effects.

Ingest a file (agent path)

POST /v1/tasks/:taskId/files/ingest

Provider-tagged file reference; api-tenant fetches the bytes server-side. This is what next_step’s submit_file action tells agents to use. Body — IngestFileDto. Same fields as the upload DTO but with fileRef instead of data:

{
  "source": "xero-trial-balance",
  "fileRef": { "provider": "local", "path": "/data/tb.xlsx" },
  "period": "2026-03",
  "signalTaskId": "…",
  "signalName": "tb_submitted"
}

fileRef.provider is one of:

Provider	Shape
`local`	`{ "provider": "local", "path": "/abs/path" }`
`url`	`{ "provider": "url", "url": "https://…", "headers": {…} }`
`inline_base64`	`{ "provider": "inline_base64", "data": "<base64>" }`

The FileFetcher validates per-provider fields. Adding a new provider doesn’t require touching the DTO. Response — UploadResult (same shape as the upload path).

Download

GET /v1/tasks/:taskId/files/:documentRef/download

Streams the bytes of a previously-uploaded document. Used by the “viewing completed step” mode to let the user re-download a file submitted earlier. taskId is in the route for symmetry with the upload paths but isn’t enforced at the row level — documentRef is already a UUID. Response — raw bytes with Content-Type from the stored row and Content-Disposition: attachment.

Data ingest

POST /v1/tasks/:taskId/data/ingest

Bulk-oriented endpoint with single-row sugar. Persists rows to ingest.submitted_records and fires a Temporal signal per event after commit.

Body shapes

Two mutually exclusive top-level shapes — exactly one of data / events must be set. Single-row (back-compat):

{
  "data": { "vendor": "Uber", "amount": 12.5, "currency": "GBP", "date": "2026-04-12" },
  "sourceRef": { "emailId": "<msg-1234@example.com>" },
  "kind": "expense",
  "signalTaskId": "…",
  "signalName": "data_submitted"
}

Bulk:

{
  "events": [
    { "data": {…}, "sourceRef": {…} },
    { "data": {…} }
  ],
  "kind": "expense",
  "signalTaskId": "…",
  "signalName": "data_submitted"
}

Field reference

Field	Where	Required	Notes
`data`	top-level (single)	Either `data` or `events`	Free-form JSON object.
`events[].data`	per-event (bulk)	—	Same as single-row `data`.
`sourceRef`	top-level (single) or per-event (bulk)	No	Free-form provenance JSON (e.g. `{"emailId": "…"}`). Persisted on the event row for audit. Ignored at top level when `events` is provided.
`kind`	top-level	No	Discriminator shared across the batch (e.g. `"expense"`, `"refund"`).
`signalTaskId`	top-level	No	Workflow ID to signal once events are persisted. May be a child workflow id (`parent:step:slug`).
`signalName`	top-level	No	Signal name on the running workflow (e.g. `"data_submitted"`).

Limits

256 KB per event on the JSON-stringified data; one over-cap event rejects the whole batch.
One DB transaction per batch — bulk persists atomically; one Temporal signal fires per event after commit.

Response

The shape mirrors the input:

Single body in → single DataIngestResult out.
events array in → DataIngestResult[] out.

Each result carries the persisted row id plus any per-event acceptance status the service emitted.

Errors

Status	When
`400 Bad Request`	DTO validation fails; both `data` and `events` set; over-cap event in a batch; `row-action` `ledger` not in the allow-list; non-UUID `rowId`.
`401 Unauthorized`	`POST /events` without a valid `x-ntro-events-key` (when `NTRO_INTERNAL_EVENTS_KEY` is set).
`404 Not Found`	Task / document not found, or task not under this tenant.
