+## Project
+
+A lightweight Java 25 library that wraps the JDK's built-in `com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer` and exposes endpoints declared in an OpenAPI 3.1.x specification. Consumers register `HttpHandler` instances by OpenAPI `operationId`. The library is published as a JAR; the example launcher under `src/test/java/.../start/ServerLauncher.java` is for local development only.
+
+Java 25 is required (see `.java-version`). The server uses thread-per-request with virtual threads.
+
+## Common commands
+
+- Build: `mvn package`
+- Unit tests (Surefire): `mvn test`
+- Integration tests (Failsafe, `*IT.java`): `mvn verify`
+- Single test class: `mvn test -Dtest=OpenApiServerTest`
+- Single test method: `mvn test -Dtest=OpenApiServerTest#methodName`
+- Coverage report: produced at `target/site/jacoco/` after `mvn verify`
+- POM is sort-checked by `sortpom-maven-plugin` during `validate`; fix with `mvn sortpom:sort`
+- Pre-commit hooks (Google Java formatter, commitlint, editorconfig, etc.) run via `pre-commit`; install with `pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type commit-msg`
+- Run example server locally: `mvn test-compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.retailsvc.http.start.ServerLauncher -Dexec.classpathScope=test` (or run `ServerLauncher` from the IDE). Test schema lives at `src/test/resources/openapi.json`.
+- Acceptance/load probes: k6 scripts under `acceptance/k6/`. ZAP scan via `./zap.sh`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Request flow when `OpenApiServer` boots (`src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServer.java`):
+
+1. `HttpServer` is created on a port with a virtual-thread-per-task executor.
+2. A single `HttpContext` is registered at `spec.basePath()` (the first `servers[].url` path from the OpenAPI doc). A catch-all `/` context returns 404.
+3. Three filters run in order on every request:
+    - `ExceptionFilter` — wraps the chain; delegates uncaught exceptions to the user-supplied `ExceptionHandler` (default in `Handlers`).
+    - `RequestPreparationFilter` — reads the raw request body, stashes it as an exchange attribute, runs OpenAPI parameter + body validation via `DefaultValidator`, and stores the resolved `operationId` on the exchange.
+    - `DispatchHandler` — looks up the `HttpHandler` registered for that `operationId` in the user-supplied map and invokes it. Missing handler → `MissingOperationHandlerException`.
+
+Key abstractions:
+
+- `com.retailsvc.http.spec.Spec` — parsed from a consumer-supplied `Map<String, Object>` via `Spec.from(raw)`. No JSON library dependency in the library itself; callers use Gson, Jackson, SnakeYAML, etc. to produce the map.
+- Sealed `com.retailsvc.http.spec.schema.Schema` interface with per-kind records (`StringSchema`, `NumberSchema`, `IntegerSchema`, `ArraySchema`, `ObjectSchema`, `BooleanSchema`, `NullSchema`, `AnyOfSchema`, `AllOfSchema`, `OneOfSchema`). Pattern-match dispatch eliminates instanceof chains.
+- `com.retailsvc.http.validate.DefaultValidator` — single class using `switch` pattern-match over `Schema` subtypes. Validation failures produce RFC 7807 `application/problem+json` 400 responses.
+- `com.retailsvc.http.internal.Router` — two indexes: exact path map and templated path list. Resolves `operationId` + extracted path variables for each request.
+- `JsonMapper` — `@FunctionalInterface`; single method `Object mapFrom(byte[])`. Callers supply a lambda (see README).
+- `com.retailsvc.http.Request` — static helper; `Request.bytes(exchange)` returns raw body bytes, `Request.parsed(exchange)` returns the `Object` produced by the `JsonMapper`.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Code is formatted with the Google Java Formatter (enforced by pre-commit). Do not hand-format.
+- Commit messages must satisfy commitlint (Conventional Commits).
+- Integration tests are named `*IT.java` and run only under `mvn verify`, not `mvn test`.
+- The library has `slf4j-api` as `provided` — never add a transitive logging binding to main scope.

+## Performance and caveats
+
+The library wraps the JDK's bundled `com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer` and uses a virtual-thread-per-request executor. On a developer laptop (Apple Silicon, single instance, default JVM flags) it sustains roughly:
+
+- **~32k requests/second** for small JSON GETs and POSTs (~300 byte bodies), measured via `k6` at 30 sustained VUs over 45 seconds (1.4M requests, **100% of checks passing**, 0% HTTP failures).
+
+A few things to know:
+
+- **Single-process model.** No horizontal scaling primitives are bundled; run multiple instances behind a load balancer for production scale.
+- **JDK HttpServer is the throughput ceiling.** It's documented as a low-throughput / dev-test server. If you need to go materially above the rates above, deploy the same filter/validator/router stack on Jetty, Helidon Níma, or Netty — the spec and validation code is server-agnostic.
+- **Per-request state uses `ScopedValue`** (Java 25, JEP 506), not `HttpExchange.setAttribute`. This matters if a handler offloads work to an executor that's not a `StructuredTaskScope`-managed child thread: the `ScopedValue` is not visible there, so the handler must capture the values it needs (e.g. `byte[] body = Request.bytes();`) before submitting.
+- **`HttpExchange.sendResponseHeaders(rCode, length)` gotcha.** When a handler has no response body, pass `-1` (`Content-Length: 0`, no body); passing `0` produces a chunked response with zero chunks, which is technically non-conformant.

+# OpenAPI Refactor Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Restructure the library along the design in `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-07-openapi-refactor-design.md` so OpenAPI 3.1 keyword gaps become mechanical to fill, and ship Java 25 build + the typed-record-derived "free" 3.1 keywords (`minLength`/`maxLength`/`minItems`/`maxItems`/`uniqueItems`/`multipleOf`/`exclusiveMin/Max`/`type:["string","null"]`).
+
+**Architecture:** New packages (`com.retailsvc.http.spec`, `spec.schema`, `validate`, `internal`) are built alongside the old `com.retailsvc.http.openapi.*` tree, the public `OpenApiServer` cuts over to the new types in one task, and only then do old packages get deleted. Sealed `Schema` interface + per-kind records + pattern-match dispatch in a single `DefaultValidator`. Spec parsing accepts a consumer-supplied `Map<String,Object>` (no `JsonMapper`-for-spec, no YAML callback). RFC 7807 problem+json error responses.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Java 25, Maven (Surefire 3.5.4 / Failsafe 3.5.4 / Jacoco 0.8.14 / sortpom), JUnit 5 (Jupiter, BOM 6.0.2), AssertJ 3.27.7, Mockito 5.21.0, JDK `com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer`, SLF4J 2.0.17 (`provided`). Zero new runtime dependencies.
+
+## Reference shapes
+
+All concrete record/interface shapes live in the design doc at `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-07-openapi-refactor-design.md` sections "Schema model", "Spec model", "Validation", "Default error rendering", "Server wiring & body capture", "Public API surface". Each task below references the relevant section by name.
+
+## Coding conventions
+
+**Always use explicit imports — never fully-qualified names in code bodies.** Every Java sample in this plan must declare the types it uses at the top of the file via `import` statements (or `import static` for static helpers), and reference them by simple name in the body. If a type is used once, it still gets an import. The Google Java Formatter (run by pre-commit) re-orders imports automatically; just write them.
+
+## Branch + commit hygiene
+
+- Branch is `refactor/openapi-3.1-readiness`, already created off latest master.
+- One commit per task, message in Conventional Commits form (commitlint enforces).
+- After every implementation step, run `mvn -q test` before committing. Pre-commit hooks run Google Java Formatter + editorconfig-checker + commitlint.
+- Never use `--no-verify`. If a hook fails, fix the underlying issue.

+## Phase A — Build prep
+
+### Task A1: Bump Java to 25
+
+**Files:**

+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `pom.xml` compiler release**
+
+In `pom.xml` find the `maven-compiler-plugin` block:

+</configuration>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update Dockerfile base image**
+
+```dockerfile

+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify build works**
+
+Run: `mvn -q test`
+Expected: BUILD SUCCESS, all 122 tests pass.
+
+If `mvn` picks an older JDK, ensure JAVA_HOME points at a 25 install or use `mvn -Dmaven.compiler.release=25 ...` once to confirm.

+- (Old `MissingOperationHandlerException` lives in `com.retailsvc.http.openapi.exceptions`. Move to public package now and adjust import; old file deleted in Phase K.)
+- Modify: `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/MissingOperationHandlerException.java` (new — same name as old, public package)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Test**
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http.internal;
+
+import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThatThrownBy;
+import com.retailsvc.http.MissingOperationHandlerException;
+import com.retailsvc.http.Request;
+import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpExchange;
+import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpHandler;
+import java.util.HashMap;
+import java.util.Map;
+import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
+import org.mockito.Mockito;
+
+class DispatchHandlerTest {
+  private final Map<String, Object> attrs = new HashMap<>();
+
+  private HttpExchange exchange(String operationId) {
+    HttpExchange ex = Mockito.mock(HttpExchange.class);
+    Mockito.when(ex.getAttribute(Request.OPERATION_ID)).thenReturn(operationId);
+    return ex;
+  }
+
+  @Test
+  void invokesRegisteredHandler() throws Exception {
+    HttpHandler handler = Mockito.mock(HttpHandler.class);
+    new DispatchHandler(Map.of("get-x", handler)).handle(exchange("get-x"));
+    Mockito.verify(handler).handle(Mockito.any());

+    assertThatThrownBy(() -> d.handle(exchange("ghost")))
+        .isInstanceOf(MissingOperationHandlerException.class);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run — fails**
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement**
+
+`MissingOperationHandlerException.java`:
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http;
+
+public final class MissingOperationHandlerException extends RuntimeException {
+  public MissingOperationHandlerException(String operationId) {
+    super("no handler registered for operationId=" + operationId);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`DispatchHandler.java`:
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http.internal;
+
+import com.retailsvc.http.MissingOperationHandlerException;
+import com.retailsvc.http.Request;
+import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpExchange;
+import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpHandler;
+import java.io.IOException;
+import java.util.Map;
+
+public final class DispatchHandler implements HttpHandler {
+  private final Map<String, HttpHandler> handlers;
+
+  public DispatchHandler(Map<String, HttpHandler> handlers) {
+    this.handlers = Map.copyOf(handlers);
+  }
+
+  @Override
+  public void handle(HttpExchange exchange) throws IOException {
+    String opId = Request.operationId(exchange);
+    HttpHandler h = handlers.get(opId);
+    if (h == null) throw new MissingOperationHandlerException(opId);
+    h.handle(exchange);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify** — 2 PASS.

+
+## Phase I — Wire it all into OpenApiServer
+
+### Task I1: Rewrite OpenApiServer to use new types
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServer.java`
+- Test: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServerTest.java` (existing — will be rewritten)
+
+The existing `OpenApiServer` references `com.retailsvc.http.openapi.model.OpenApi` and `com.retailsvc.http.openapi.model.JsonMapper`. We rewrite the file in place to use the new types.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read existing tests to see what's being asserted**
+
+Run: `grep -l "new OpenApiServer" src/test`
+
+Existing tests construct `OpenApiServer` with the old types. They will be migrated in Task I2; for this task we only need the production class to compile and be correct.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Rewrite the class**
+
+Replace the contents of `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServer.java`:
+
+```java

+
+### Task I2: Migrate `OpenApiServerTest`, `OpenApiServerIT`, and the example launcher
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServerTest.java`
+- Modify: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServerIT.java`
+- Modify: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/ServerBaseTest.java`
+- Modify: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/start/ServerLauncher.java`
+- Modify: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/start/EchoHandler.java` and any handler that implements `GetRequestBody`
+
+This task covers wiring all existing test code to the new API. The migration recipe is identical for each file.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Migrate `ServerLauncher.java`** (the example)
+
+Old code calls `parseSpecification("openapi.json", s -> gson.fromJson(s, OpenApi.class))` etc. Replace with:
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http.start;
+
+import com.google.gson.Gson;
+import com.retailsvc.http.Handlers;
+import com.retailsvc.http.JsonMapper;
+import com.retailsvc.http.OpenApiServer;
+import com.retailsvc.http.spec.Spec;
+import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpHandler;
+import java.io.IOException;
+import java.io.InputStream;
+import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
+import java.util.HashMap;
+import java.util.Map;
+
+public class ServerLauncher {
+  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
+    Gson gson = new Gson();
+
+    String text;
+    try (InputStream in = ServerLauncher.class.getResourceAsStream("/openapi.json")) {
+      text = new String(in.readAllBytes(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
+    }
+    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
+    Map<String, Object> raw = (Map<String, Object>) gson.fromJson(text, Map.class);
+    Spec spec = Spec.from(raw);
+
+    JsonMapper mapper = body -> gson.fromJson(new String(body), Object.class);
+
+    Map<String, HttpHandler> handlers = new HashMap<>();
+    handlers.put("get-data", new GetDataHandler());
+    handlers.put("post-data", new PostDataHandler());
+    handlers.put("post-list", new PostListObjectsHandler());
+    handlers.put("echo", new EchoHandler());
+    handlers.put("param", new ParamHandler());
+
+    new OpenApiServer(spec, mapper, handlers, Handlers.defaultExceptionHandler());
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Migrate `*Handler` test classes**
+
+Any handler that uses `getRequestBody(exchange)` from `GetRequestBody` should call `Request.bytes(exchange)` or `Request.parsed(exchange)` instead. Remove `implements GetRequestBody`.
+
+Example for `EchoHandler`:
+
+```java
+import com.retailsvc.http.Request;
+// remove: import com.retailsvc.http.openapi.model.GetRequestBody;
+
+public class EchoHandler implements HttpHandler {  // remove GetRequestBody
+  @Override
+  public void handle(HttpExchange exchange) throws IOException {
+    byte[] body = Request.bytes(exchange);
+    // unchanged: write body back
+    ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Migrate `ServerBaseTest.java`**
+
+Replace its `OpenApiServer` setup helper to construct via the new API exactly as in `ServerLauncher`. All subclasses (`OpenApiServerTest`, `OpenApiServerIT`) inherit.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Migrate test assertions for the new error format**
+
+The existing `OpenApiServerIT` likely asserts `400` with empty body for invalid input. Update to assert:
+- Status 400
+- `Content-Type: application/problem+json`
+- Body contains `"keyword":"..."` and `"pointer":"..."`
+
+Where the test asserts `404`/`500` for unknown operation, change to assert `404` (now from `NotFoundException`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run full suite**
+
+Run: `mvn -q test`
+Expected: all green. If a test depends on `BodyHandler.RequestBodyWrapper` directly, swap to `Request.bytes(exchange)`.
+
+If anything fails because `OpenApiValidationFilter` test assertions don't apply anymore, those tests get deleted in Phase K — for now, mark them `@Disabled("removed in Phase K")` to keep the suite green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/
+git commit -m "refactor(test): migrate test launcher, handlers, and integration tests to new API"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task I3: Verify integration test against the existing fixture
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/OpenApiServerIT.java` (already touched in I2; this task validates the spec fixture round-trips)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run integration tests**
+
+Run: `mvn -q verify`
+Expected: BUILD SUCCESS, all surefire + failsafe tests green.
+
+If the fixture exercises features not yet implemented (path matching, query params, body parsing) ensure they all pass with the new validator. If any specific case fails because the new validator is stricter than the old (e.g., an invalid spec that the old code accepted), fix the fixture and document it in the commit message.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Commit any fixture adjustments**
+
+```bash
+git add src/test/resources/
+git commit -m "test: align fixture with stricter new validator"
+```
+
+(Skip if no changes were needed.)
+
+---
+
+## Phase J — Documentation
+
+### Task J1: Update README.md
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `README.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update Prerequisites**
+
+Replace "Java SDK 21 or later" with "Java SDK 25 or later".
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Replace the Basic Usage code blocks**
+
+Replace the code that shows `parseSpecification(...)` and the verbose `JsonMapper` anonymous class with the new pattern:
+
+````markdown
+``` java
+public class YourServerLauncher {
+  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
+    Gson gson = new Gson();
+
+    // Parse spec to a generic Map (works for JSON; for YAML use SnakeYAML).
+    String text = Files.readString(Path.of("openapi.json"));
+    Map<String, Object> raw = (Map<String, Object>) gson.fromJson(text, Map.class);
+    Spec spec = Spec.from(raw);
+
+    // Body parser. Returns a Map for objects, List for arrays.
+    JsonMapper mapper = body -> gson.fromJson(new String(body), Object.class);
+
+    // Handlers by operationId.
+    Map<String, HttpHandler> handlers = new HashMap<>();
+    handlers.put("get-data", new GetDataHandler());
+    handlers.put("post-data", new PostDataHandler());
+
+    new OpenApiServer(spec, mapper, handlers, Handlers.defaultExceptionHandler());
+  }
+}
+```
+````
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update Handler example**
+
+Replace `implements HttpHandler, GetRequestBody` with `implements HttpHandler` and use `Request.bytes(exchange)` / `Request.parsed(exchange)` to access body data.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add a "YAML" subsection**
+
+```markdown
+### YAML specifications
+For YAML, replace the JSON parsing line with SnakeYAML:
+```java
+Map<String, Object> raw = new Yaml().load(Files.newInputStream(Path.of("openapi.yaml")));
+```
+The rest is identical.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add README.md
+git commit -m "docs: update README for Java 25 and post-refactor public API"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task J2: Update CLAUDE.md
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `CLAUDE.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace "Java 21" with "Java 25" in the Project paragraph**
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Replace the Architecture section**
+
+Replace the description of the request flow with the new pipeline (`ExceptionFilter` → `RequestPreparationFilter` → `DispatchHandler`). Replace the "Key abstractions" bullets with: sealed `Schema`, `Spec.from(Map<String,Object>)`, `Request` static helper, `DefaultValidator` with pattern-match dispatch, `Router` with exact + templated indexes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify no stale references**
+
+Run: `grep -n "Java 21\|java-21\|release>21<\|version 21\|BodyHandler\|OpenApiValidationFilter\|GetRequestBody\|SpecificationLoader\|RequestDispatchingHandler\|ExceptionHandlingFilter\|com.retailsvc.http.openapi" CLAUDE.md README.md`
+Expected: no output (or only legitimate historical references — fix them).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add CLAUDE.md
+git commit -m "docs(claude): refresh architecture section for refactor"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase K — Delete old code
+
+### Task K1: Delete the old packages
+
+**Files:**
+- Delete: entire `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/openapi/` tree
+- Delete: `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/BodyHandler.java`
+- Delete: `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/ExceptionHandlingFilter.java`
+- Delete: any test files under `src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/openapi/` that test the deleted code
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Delete files**
+
+```bash
+git rm -r src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/openapi/
+git rm src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/BodyHandler.java
+git rm src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/ExceptionHandlingFilter.java
+git rm -r src/test/java/com/retailsvc/http/openapi/
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Find leftover references**
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "com.retailsvc.http.openapi\|BodyHandler\|ExceptionHandlingFilter\|GetRequestBody\|RequestDispatchingHandler\|OpenApiValidationFilter\|SpecificationLoader" src/
+```
+Expected: no matches. Fix any that remain.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run full suite**
+
+Run: `mvn -q verify`
+Expected: BUILD SUCCESS, all green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "refactor: delete legacy openapi.* packages and old filter/wrapper classes"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase L — Verification sweep
+
+### Task L1: Final grep + coverage check
+
+**Files:**
+- (read-only verification)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Java version sweep**
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "Java 21\|java-21\|release>21<" --include="*.md" --include="*.java" --include="*.xml" --include="*.yaml" --include="*.yml" --include="Dockerfile" .
+```
+Expected: no results (or only inside the spec doc historical context, which is fine).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Old API symbol sweep**
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "OpenApi\.parse\|JsonMapper.*<.*>\|getRequestBody(exchange)\|BodyHandler\b\|operation-id" src/main/java
+```
+Expected: no results in `src/main/java`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Coverage**
+
+Run: `mvn -q verify`
+Open `target/site/jacoco/index.html` and confirm `com.retailsvc.http.validate`, `com.retailsvc.http.spec`, `com.retailsvc.http.spec.schema`, and `com.retailsvc.http.internal` are at or above 80% line coverage.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Hand-test the example**
+
+Run: `mvn test-compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.retailsvc.http.start.ServerLauncher -Dexec.classpathScope=test`
+
+In a separate terminal:
+```bash
+curl -i http://localhost:8080/api/get-data
+curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/post-data -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"id":"x"}'
+curl -i http://localhost:8080/api/missing  # expect 404
+curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/get-data  # expect 405 Allow: GET
+curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/post-data -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{}'  # expect 400 problem+json
+```
+
+Stop the server with Ctrl-C.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Push the branch (if user requests)**
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin refactor/openapi-3.1-readiness
+```
+
+(Do not push without confirmation — this is the user's call.)
+
+---
+
+## Self-review checklist for the engineer
+
+Before declaring the refactor done, walk through these:
+
+- [ ] All 122 original tests have been migrated or deleted, with corresponding new coverage
+- [ ] `mvn -q verify` is green
+- [ ] No file under `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/openapi/` exists
+- [ ] `BodyHandler`, `ExceptionHandlingFilter`, `GetRequestBody`, `RequestDispatchingHandler`, `OpenApiValidationFilter`, `SpecificationLoader`, `OpenApi`, `Components`, `OpenApiConstants`, `PathItem`, the per-kind validator classes, and the seven old exception classes from `openapi.exceptions` are all gone
+- [ ] `Schema.minimum` / `maximum` defaulting to `Double.MIN_VALUE` / `Double.MAX_VALUE` (the bug) is gone — new model uses `null` for "unspecified"
+- [ ] Combinator records exist; `DefaultValidator` throws `UnsupportedOperationException` on them; parser produces them
+- [ ] `Spec.from(Map<String,Object>)` is the single entry point; no `Function<String, OpenApi>` or `Function<Object, String> toJson` callbacks remain
+- [ ] `JsonMapper` is `@FunctionalInterface` with `Object mapFrom(byte[])`
+- [ ] Default 400 response is `application/problem+json`
+- [ ] `Dockerfile`, `.java-version`, `pom.xml`, `README.md`, `CLAUDE.md` all reference Java 25
+- [ ] None of the in-scope "free" 3.1 keywords are missing: `minLength`, `maxLength`, `minItems`, `maxItems`, `uniqueItems`, `multipleOf`, `exclusiveMinimum`, `exclusiveMaximum`, `type:["string","null"]`

+# OpenAPI HTTP Server — Refactor & 3.1 Readiness
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-07
+**Status:** Approved (pending final spec review)
+**Target Java release:** 25
+**Public API stability:** breaking changes accepted
+
+## Goal
+
+Restructure the library so that filling OpenAPI 3.1 gaps becomes a mechanical, per-keyword exercise rather than a structural rewrite. This design covers the refactor itself; specific 3.1 keywords are tracked as a prioritized follow-up list (Section 9) — each becomes its own small spec.
+
+The refactor also folds in 3.1 keywords that are effectively free once the typed schema model exists (size/multiple-of constraints, nullable via `["type","null"]`, etc.). Anything that needs more than a one-line validator branch is punted.
+
+## Decisions (locked during brainstorming)
+
+1. **Goal shape:** restructure for 3.1 readiness; document remaining gaps for iteration.
+2. **API stability:** break freely. Library is at `0.0.1-local`; release pipeline not yet enabled.
+3. **Spec parsing:** consumer parses spec text to `Map<String,Object>` with their own JSON/YAML library; library walks the map into a typed model. The current `Function<String, OpenApi>` parser callback and the `fix/support-yaml` `Function<Object,String> toJson` callback both go away.
+4. **Validation contract:** validators throw `ValidationException` carrying a structured `ValidationError`. Default `ExceptionHandler` renders it as RFC 7807 `application/problem+json`, status 400.
+5. **Schema model:** sealed interface with one record per kind (`StringSchema`, `ObjectSchema`, …). Combinators (`OneOfSchema` etc.) are scaffolded but throw `UnsupportedOperationException` from the validator until follow-up specs implement them.
+6. **`AdditionalProperties`:** small wrapper sealed type (`Allowed` / `Forbidden` / `SchemaConstraint`).
+7. **`format`:** stays a free-form `String`; validators handle known formats and ignore unknowns (warn-log once per unknown format).
+8. **Java target:** 25.
+9. **Runtime dependencies:** none added. SLF4J stays `provided`.
+
+## High-level architecture
+
+Request lifecycle:
+
+```
+HTTP request
+  └── ExceptionFilter
+        └── RequestPreparationFilter      (replaces BodyHandler + OpenApiValidationFilter)
+              ├── read body bytes → exchange attribute "body"
+              ├── Router.match(method, path) → Operation + path parameters
+              │     │  miss → NotFoundException (404)
+              │     │  method mismatch → MethodNotAllowedException (405)
+              ├── validate path / query / header parameters
+              ├── if RequestBody present: parse via JsonMapper, validate against MediaType.schema
+              │     parsed body → exchange attribute "parsed-body"
+              └── DispatchHandler
+                    └── handlers.get(operationId).handle(exchange)
+                          missing → MissingOperationHandlerException (500)
+```
+
+`ExceptionFilter` translates the typed exceptions to status codes (404 / 405 / 400 / 500) via the consumer's `ExceptionHandler`. The default exception handler renders RFC 7807 problem details for `ValidationException` and empty bodies for the others.
+
+## Package layout
+
+- `com.retailsvc.http` — public entry: `OpenApiServer`, `ExceptionHandler`, `JsonMapper`, `Handlers`, `Request`, `ValidationException`, `NotFoundException`, `MethodNotAllowedException`, `MissingOperationHandlerException`.
+- `com.retailsvc.http.spec` — `Spec`, `Operation`, `Parameter`, `RequestBody`, `MediaType`, `Server`, `Info`, `PathTemplate`, `HttpMethod`.
+- `com.retailsvc.http.spec.schema` — sealed `Schema` hierarchy, `AdditionalProperties`, `TypeName`, `SchemaParser`.
+- `com.retailsvc.http.validate` — `Validator`, `DefaultValidator`, `ValidationError`.
+- `com.retailsvc.http.internal` — `ExceptionFilter`, `RequestPreparationFilter`, `DispatchHandler`, `Router`, problem-detail renderer (package-private to consumers).
+
+Removed (compared to current master):
+
+- `BodyHandler` and `BodyHandler.RequestBodyWrapper`
+- `GetRequestBody` interface
+- `OpenApiValidationFilter`, `ExceptionHandlingFilter`, `RequestDispatchingHandler` (their roles move into `internal`)
+- `SpecificationLoader`
+- `Components`, `PathItem`, `OpenApi`, `OpenApiConstants` (collapsed into `Spec`)
+- `ValidatorImpl`, `StringValidator`, `ObjectValidator`, `ArrayValidator`, `NumberValidator`, `BooleanValidator` (replaced by single `DefaultValidator` with pattern-match dispatch)
+- `OperationIdNotFoundException`, `BadRequestException`, `BadRequestTypeException`, `NotFoundTypeException`, `LoadSpecificationException`, `NoServersDeclaredException`, `UnsupportedVersionException` (replaced by the new exception hierarchy and `ValidationError` messages)
+
+## Schema model

+
+public enum TypeName { STRING, NUMBER, INTEGER, BOOLEAN, OBJECT, ARRAY, NULL }

+  record SchemaConstraint(Schema schema) implements AdditionalProperties {}  // schema
+}
+```
+
+`SchemaParser` (zero-dep, ~80–120 lines) walks `Map<String,Object>` and dispatches in this order:
+
+1. `$ref` present → `RefSchema`
+2. `oneOf` / `anyOf` / `allOf` / `not` present → corresponding combinator
+3. `const` / `enum` (top-level) → `ConstSchema` / `EnumSchema`
+4. `type` (string or array of strings; legacy `nullable: true` folds `NULL` into the set) → primitive record
+5. No identifying keyword → permissive `ObjectSchema` (matches 3.1 default)
+
+Refs are resolved on use, not at parse, so cycles and forward references are non-issues. `Components.getSchema`'s memoization is preserved at the `Spec.resolveSchema` layer.
+
+## Spec model
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http.spec;
+
+public record Spec(
+    String openapi,
+    Info info,
+    List<Server> servers,
+    List<Operation> operations,
+    Map<String, Schema> componentSchemas,
+    Map<String, Parameter> componentParameters) {
+
+  public static Spec from(Map<String,Object> raw);  // entry point
+
+  public String basePath();                         // first server's path component
+  public Schema resolveSchema(String ref);          // walks #/components/schemas/...
+  public Parameter resolveParameter(String ref);    // walks #/components/parameters/...
+}
+
+public record Operation(
+    String operationId,
+    HttpMethod method,
+    PathTemplate path,
+    Optional<RequestBody> requestBody,
+    List<Parameter> parameters,
+    Map<String, Response> responses);
+
+public record Parameter(
+    String name,
+    Location in,
+    boolean required,
+    Schema schema) {
+  public enum Location { PATH, QUERY, HEADER, COOKIE }
+}
+
+public record RequestBody(boolean required, Map<String, MediaType> content);
+public record MediaType(Schema schema);
+public record Response(/* placeholder; populated when response validation lands */);
+public enum HttpMethod { GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, CONNECT }
+
+public record PathTemplate(String raw, Pattern compiled, List<String> parameterNames) {
+  public Optional<Map<String,String>> match(String requestPath);  // returns extracted params
+}
+```
+
+Key changes vs. master:
+
+- `Spec.operations()` is a flat list. Each `Operation` carries its own method + `PathTemplate`.
+- `PathItem` is gone as a public concept.
+- `Parameter.in` is an `enum`, not a string. `Parameter.isHeader()` / `isQuery()` / `isPath()` helpers are replaced by enum comparison or pattern-match.
+- `PathTemplate` owns path-parameter logic. Built once at parse: stores raw template (`/users/{id}`), compiled regex (`^/users/([^/]+)$`), and parameter names in order.
+- A small JSON Pointer parser replaces ad-hoc `replace("#/components/...", "")` so future ref targets (`#/components/responses/...`, `#/components/parameters/...`) work uniformly.
+
+## Routing
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http.internal;
+
+final class Router {
+  // Built once from List<Operation>. Two indexes:
+  //   - exact:     Map<HttpMethod, Map<String, Operation>>     (no path params)
+  //   - templated: Map<HttpMethod, List<TemplateRoute>>        (regex match per route)
+  Optional<Match> match(HttpMethod method, String path);
+  record Match(Operation operation, Map<String,String> pathParameters) {}
+}
+```
+
+Templated routes are scanned linearly with first-match-wins. Trie/sorted-by-specificity is a documented future optimization.
+
+Routing outcomes:
+- exact path + exact method → match
+- known path, wrong method → `MethodNotAllowedException(allowed)` → 405
+- unknown path → `NotFoundException` → 404
+
+## Validation
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http.validate;
+
+public record ValidationError(
+    String pointer,        // RFC 6901 JSON Pointer, e.g. "/user/email", "/query/page"
+    String keyword,        // "type", "required", "minLength", "pattern", "format", "route"
+    String message,
+    Object rejectedValue   // omitted from default 7807 response unless consumer opts in
+);
+
+public interface Validator {
+  /** Throws ValidationException on first failure. */
+  void validate(Object value, Schema schema, String pointer);
+}
+
+public final class DefaultValidator implements Validator {
+  public DefaultValidator(Spec spec);
+  // single class; per-kind logic is private methods dispatched via pattern-match switch
+}
+```
+
+Pattern-match dispatch:
+
+```java
+switch (schema) {
+  case RefSchema r       -> validate(value, spec.resolveSchema(r.pointer()), pointer);
+  case StringSchema s    -> validateString(value, s, pointer);
+  case IntegerSchema i   -> validateInteger(value, i, pointer);
+  case NumberSchema n    -> validateNumber(value, n, pointer);
+  case BooleanSchema b   -> validateBoolean(value, b, pointer);
+  case ObjectSchema o    -> validateObject(value, o, pointer);
+  case ArraySchema a     -> validateArray(value, a, pointer);
+  case NullSchema n      -> require(value == null, pointer, "type", "expected null");
+  case EnumSchema e      -> require(e.values().contains(value), pointer, "enum", ...);
+  case ConstSchema c     -> require(Objects.equals(c.value(), value), pointer, "const", ...);
+  case OneOfSchema, AnyOfSchema, AllOfSchema, NotSchema ->
+      throw new UnsupportedOperationException("combinator not yet supported");
+}
+```
+
+Failure mode is fail-fast with a single `ValidationError`. Multi-error collection is a documented future option (additive).
+
+JSON Pointer prefixes used for non-body validation:
+- `/path/<name>` for path parameters
+- `/query/<name>` for query parameters
+- `/headers/<name>` for header parameters
+- (request body errors use the natural `/...` pointer into the body)
+
+## Default error rendering
+
+`Handlers.defaultExceptionHandler()` adds branches for the new exception types. Hand-rolled JSON output (no dependency).
+
+```
+ValidationException        → 400 application/problem+json (RFC 7807)
+                              { "type": "about:blank",
+                                "title": "Bad Request",
+                                "status": 400,
+                                "detail": <message>,
+                                "pointer": <pointer>,
+                                "keyword": <keyword> }
+NotFoundException          → 404, empty body
+MethodNotAllowedException  → 405, "Allow" header set from allowed()
+MissingOperationHandlerException → 500, empty body
+other Throwable            → 500, empty body (logged)
+```
+
+`rejectedValue` is omitted from the default response. Consumers that want it can supply their own `ExceptionHandler`.
+
+#### Example problem+json response
+
+Request: `POST /users` with body `{ "email": "not-an-email", "age": 17 }` against a schema requiring `email` to match `format: email` and `age >= 18`.
+
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+Content-Type: application/problem+json
+
+{
+  "type": "about:blank",
+  "title": "Bad Request",
+  "status": 400,
+  "detail": "string does not match format 'email'",
+  "pointer": "/email",
+  "keyword": "format"
+}
+```
+
+For a missing required header `X-Request-Id`:
+
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+Content-Type: application/problem+json
+
+{
+  "type": "about:blank",
+  "title": "Bad Request",
+  "status": 400,
+  "detail": "required header is missing",
+  "pointer": "/headers/x-request-id",
+  "keyword": "required"
+}
+```
+
+## Server wiring & body capture
+
+```java
+new OpenApiServer(spec, jsonMapper, handlers, exceptionHandler);          // port 8080
+new OpenApiServer(spec, jsonMapper, handlers, exceptionHandler, port);
+```
+
+Internal init creates one `HttpContext` at `spec.basePath()` with the filter chain `ExceptionFilter` → `RequestPreparationFilter`, and installs a catch-all 404 context at `/`. Virtual-thread-per-task executor unchanged.
+
+`RequestPreparationFilter` stores these exchange attributes for downstream code:
+
+| attribute        | type                  | source                                   |
+|------------------|-----------------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `body`           | `byte[]`              | raw request body                         |
+| `parsed-body`    | `Object`              | result of `JsonMapper.mapFrom(body)`     |
+| `operation-id`   | `String`              | matched operation's id                   |
+| `path-parameters`| `Map<String,String>`  | extracted by `PathTemplate.match`        |
+
+A static helper `com.retailsvc.http.Request` provides typed accessors:
+
+```java
+public final class Request {
+  public static byte[] bytes(HttpExchange e);
+  public static Object parsed(HttpExchange e);
+  public static String operationId(HttpExchange e);
+  public static Map<String,String> pathParams(HttpExchange e);
+  private Request() {}
+}
+```
+
+`BodyHandler.RequestBodyWrapper` (the 130-line `HttpExchange` decorator) is removed.
+
+## Public API surface (consumer-visible)
+
+```java
+package com.retailsvc.http;
+
+public final class OpenApiServer implements AutoCloseable { /* see "Server wiring" */ }
+
+@FunctionalInterface public interface JsonMapper {
+  Object mapFrom(byte[] body);
+}
+@FunctionalInterface public interface ExceptionHandler {
+  void handle(HttpExchange exchange, Throwable t) throws IOException;
+}
+
+public final class Handlers {
+  public static ExceptionHandler defaultExceptionHandler();
+  public static HttpHandler notFoundHandler();
+}
+
+public final class Request { /* attribute accessors */ }
+
+public final class ValidationException extends RuntimeException { public ValidationError error(); }
+public final class NotFoundException extends RuntimeException {}
+public final class MethodNotAllowedException extends RuntimeException { public Set<HttpMethod> allowed(); }
+public final class MissingOperationHandlerException extends RuntimeException {}
+```
+
+Plus the `spec`, `spec.schema`, and `validate` packages listed earlier. Everything in `internal` is package-private.
+
+## Consumer migration example
+
+```java
+// before (master)
+Gson gson = new Gson();
+OpenApi spec = parseSpecification("openapi.json", s -> gson.fromJson(s, OpenApi.class));
+JsonMapper mapper = new JsonMapper() {
+  @Override public <T> T mapFrom(byte[] body) {
+    if (body.length > 0 && body[0] == '[')
+      return (T) gson.fromJson(new String(body), List.class);
+    return (T) gson.fromJson(new String(body), Map.class);
+  }
+};
+new OpenApiServer(spec, mapper, handlers, Handlers.defaultExceptionHandler());
+
+// after (refactor)
+Gson gson = new Gson();
+Map<String,Object> raw = gson.fromJson(Files.readString(Path.of("openapi.json")), Map.class);
+Spec spec = Spec.from(raw);
+JsonMapper mapper = body -> gson.fromJson(new String(body), Object.class);
+new OpenApiServer(spec, mapper, handlers, Handlers.defaultExceptionHandler());
+```
+
+YAML: replace `gson.fromJson(...)` with `new Yaml().load(text)` (returns `Map<String,Object>`); the rest is identical. The `fix/support-yaml` branch's `Function<Object,String> toJson` callback is no longer needed.
+
+## What's in this refactor
+
+Folded in opportunistically because the typed records make them one-liners:
+
+- `minLength` / `maxLength`
+- `minItems` / `maxItems`
+- `uniqueItems`
+- `multipleOf`
+- `exclusiveMinimum` / `exclusiveMaximum` (3.1 numeric form)
+- `type: ["string","null"]` parsing (and legacy `nullable: true` folded into the type set)
+
+Bug fix carried in by the new model:
+
+- The current `Schema.minimum` defaults to `Double.MIN_VALUE` (≈ 4.9e-324, the smallest *positive* double), which silently rejects all negative numbers. The new model uses `null` to mean "unspecified" and treats absence as no constraint.
+
+Tests:
+
+- Every existing test rewritten against the new API.
+- New tests for the cheap-keyword additions above.
+- Combinator records have parser round-trip tests; validator tests assert `UnsupportedOperationException` until the relevant follow-up spec lands.
+
+Build:
+
+- Bump `pom.xml` `<release>` from 21 to 25.
+- Bump `.java-version` from 21 to 25.
+- The `Dockerfile` base image moves from `eclipse-temurin:21-jre-alpine` to `eclipse-temurin:25-jre-alpine`.
+- The `setup-java` step in `.github/workflows/commit.yaml` is unchanged (it reads `.java-version`); the resolver picks 25 automatically.
+- No new runtime dependencies. SLF4J stays `provided`.
+
+## Documentation updates
+
+The following docs reference Java 21 today and must be updated as part of the refactor:
+
+- **`README.md`** — "Prerequisites: Java SDK 21 or later" → 25. Code examples in the README are unaffected (they're library-API-level, not Java-version-level), but they will need to be rewritten to match the new public API (`Spec.from(Map<String,Object>)`, `JsonMapper` SAM, `Request` helper, etc.).
+- **`CLAUDE.md`** — current text says "Java 21 library" / "Java 21 is required (see `.java-version`)". Both update to 25. Architecture description also updates to reflect the post-refactor pipeline (`ExceptionFilter` → `RequestPreparationFilter`, sealed `Schema`, `Spec.from`, etc.).
+- **No other in-tree docs reference the Java version**, but a global `grep -r "Java 21\|java-21\|release>21<\|version 21"` is part of the implementation plan's verification step.
+
+## OpenAPI 3.1 gap inventory (follow-up specs)
+
+Each item below becomes its own small spec/PR after the refactor lands. Listed in the recommended order.
+
+**Wave 1 — high impact, low cost, unblocked by typed model**
+
+1. `requestBody.required: true` enforcement when body is empty.
+2. `additionalProperties: false` and `additionalProperties: { schema }` enforcement.
+3. Combinators: `oneOf` / `anyOf` / `allOf` (one spec — they share machinery).
+4. `not` + `const` + top-level `enum` + schema booleans (`true` / `false`).
+
+**Wave 2 — coverage breadth**
+
+5. Format expansion: `email`, `uri`, `uri-reference`, `hostname`, `ipv4`, `ipv6`, `regex`, `byte` (base64), `binary`, `password`.
+6. Object: `patternProperties`, `dependentRequired`, `dependentSchemas`, `propertyNames`.
+7. Array: `contains` / `minContains` / `maxContains`, `prefixItems` (tuple validation).
+8. Format-driven width validation: `int32` / `int64` overflow, `float` / `double` precision.
+
+**Wave 3 — parameter & request-body fidelity**
+
+9. Parameter `style` + `explode` for `query`, `path`, `header`, `cookie`.
+10. Array query parameters (`?ids=1&ids=2` and `?ids=1,2`).
+11. `deepObject` query style.
+12. `content` instead of `schema` on parameters.
+13. `cookie` parameter location.
+14. Media-type ranges (`application/*`, charset suffix tolerance).
+15. Non-JSON request bodies: `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, `multipart/form-data`, `text/plain`. `encoding` object on multipart fields.
+
+**Wave 4 — responses**
+
+16. Validate response body against `responses[status].content[mediaType].schema`.
+17. Validate response headers.
+18. `default` response handling.
+
+**Wave 5 — refs & spec topology**
+
+19. Cross-document `$ref`.
+20. JSON Schema `$defs` (3.1 alternative to `components.schemas`).
+21. `$dynamicRef` / `$dynamicAnchor` (rarely used).
+22. Multiple `servers[]` entries; server variables (`{tenant}.example.com`).
+23. Path-level parameters (defined on `PathItem`, shared across operations).
+24. Path-level / operation-level `servers`.
+
+**Wave 6 — UX & metadata**
+
+25. Multi-error collection (gather all failures per request, not first-only).
+26. `discriminator` (used with combinators).
+27. `readOnly` / `writeOnly` (skip validation in the wrong direction).
+28. `deprecated` (warning logging on use).
+29. Extensions (`x-*` keys) — at minimum: silently preserved, accessible via raw map fallback.
+
+**Wave 7 — last**
+
+30. Security: `securitySchemes` parsing; `security` enforcement at operation level.
+
+## Out of scope for this design
+
+- Server-side route specificity ordering (current first-match-wins is preserved).
+- Trie-based router optimization.
+- Pluggable validator (single `Validator` interface is enough; `DefaultValidator` is the only implementation shipped).
+- Response writing helpers / serialization (consumer's responsibility, unchanged).
+- Streaming / chunked request bodies (current full-buffer behavior preserved; opt-in streaming is a future spec).
+
+## Sequencing assumption
+
+The `fix/support-yaml` branch lands on master before this refactor begins. The refactor builds on that merged state and removes the YAML-specific `toJson` callback as part of replacing `SpecificationLoader` with `Spec.from(Map<String,Object>)`.

+# Performance Findings — JFR @ 2026-05-08
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-08
+**Status:** Documented for follow-up; not yet implemented
+**Source:** Java Flight Recorder run during a 45 s / 30 VU k6 load test against `ServerLauncher` on the post-refactor branch (`refactor/openapi-3.1-readiness`, commit ~`bbb3c07`). 1,449,132 HTTP requests, ~32k rps, 0% HTTP failures, 100% k6 checks passing.
+
+> The JFR file itself is not committed; this document captures the analysis. Re-run with `-XX:StartFlightRecording=…` against `com.retailsvc.http.start.ServerLauncher` to reproduce.
+
+## TL;DR
+
+The library is functionally correct under load, but several easy wins exist for both throughput and GC pressure. Three changes — caching `Spec.basePath`, caching compiled `Pattern` for string validation, and memoising ref resolution — together remove ~470 MB of unnecessary allocation per million requests and visible CPU samples in `Spec.basePath` / `Pattern.compile`. Two further small wins clean up parameter validation. One large item (streaming body parse) is a possible future direction but is a public-API change and is parked.
+
+## Recording profile
+
+- 33,798 `jdk.ExecutionSample` events (sampling profiler)
+- 12,834 `jdk.ObjectAllocationSample` events
+- ~164 s wall-clock; load applied for the middle 45 s
+- Most CPU samples (21,278) are `Unsafe.park` — virtual threads parked on I/O, healthy.
+
+## Hot frames in our code (CPU samples)
+
+| Samples | Location | Notes |
+|---:|---|---|
+| 77 | `RequestPreparationFilter.doFilter` | Per-request orchestration; the bulk is `readAllBytes` |
+| 44 | `start.PostDataHandler.handle` | Test handler echo |
+| 39 | `start.ParamHandler.handle` | Test handler |
+| 33 | `start.GetDataHandler.handle` | Test handler |
+| 31 | `validate.DefaultValidator.validateString` | **Pattern recompilation** — see W2 |
+| 26 | `spec.Spec.basePath` | **URI recreation per request** — see W1 |
+| 18 | `start.PostListObjectsHandler.handle` | Test handler |
+| 16 | `RequestPreparationFilter.validateParameters` | Pointer-string + query-map assembly — see W4/W5 |
+| 14 | `spec.PathTemplate.match` | Already a precompiled regex; nothing to do |
+| 12 | `Request.operationId` | Inside JDK `ScopedValue.get()` traversal |
+
+## Allocation hot-spots in our code (sampled)
+
+The numbers below are extrapolated from JFR's allocation sample weights to total estimated bytes over the 45 s of load. Rank order is what matters; absolute numbers should be read as "MB-scale" indicators.
+
+| Site | Est. alloc | Cause | Action |
+|---|---:|---|---|
+| `RequestPreparationFilter.doFilter` → `byte[]` | ~24 GB | `getRequestBody().readAllBytes()` — fresh buffer per request | Defer (see W6) |
+| `Request.operationId` → `Object[]` | ~237 MB | JDK-internal `ScopedValue.get()` carrier traversal | Mitigate by reading the context once per handler (see W7) |
+| `validate.DefaultValidator.validateString` → `int[]` + `Matcher` | ~215 MB | `Pattern.compile(s.pattern())` per request | **W2** |
+| `RequestPreparationFilter.validateParameters` → `String` + `HashMap` | ~180 MB | Pointer-string concat + per-request query parse | **W4 + W5** |
+| `start.*Handler` → `LoggingEvent` (logback) | ~190 MB | `LOG.debug(...)` allocates even when level disabled in some logback paths | Cosmetic; only test handlers |
+| `Spec.stripPrefix` → `String` + `byte[]` | ~150 MB | `ref.substring(prefix.length())` per `$ref` resolve | **W3** |
+| `ScopedValue.Carrier` | ~117 MB | One per request; inherent to `ScopedValue.where(...)` | Don't address |
+| `Spec.basePath` → `URI` | ~105 MB | `URI.create(servers[0].url())` per request | **W1** |
+
+## Recommended changes
+
+Numbered W1–W7 in priority order (easy + high-impact first).
+
+### W1 — Cache `Spec.basePath` once at construction
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/spec/Spec.java`
+
+`basePath()` currently does:
+```java
+public String basePath() {
+  if (servers.isEmpty()) {
+    throw new IllegalStateException("no servers declared");
+  }
+  return Optional.ofNullable(URI.create(servers.get(0).url()).getPath()).orElse("");
+}
+```
+
+Called from `RequestPreparationFilter.stripBasePath` on **every** request. The result is spec-static — compute once.
+
+**Sketch:**
+- Add a `private final String basePath;` field on `Spec`.
+- Compute it in the canonical constructor (or in `Spec.from` factory) — same logic, run once.
+- Replace the method body with `return basePath;`.
+
+**Impact:** ~100 MB of URI allocs gone; ~26 CPU samples eliminated; small but consistent latency win on every request.
+
+### W2 — Cache compiled `Pattern` for string validation
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/validate/DefaultValidator.java`
+
+Currently:
+```java
+if (s.pattern() != null && !Pattern.compile(s.pattern()).matcher(str).matches()) {
+  fail(pointer, "pattern", "does not match pattern " + s.pattern(), str);
+}
+```
+
+`Pattern.compile` is recompiled on every validation. Patterns are immutable and thread-safe.
+
+**Sketch:**
+- Option A (smaller): hold a `ConcurrentHashMap<String, Pattern>` field on `DefaultValidator`; `getOrDefault`/`computeIfAbsent` to memoise. Cache is unbounded but pattern strings are spec-static so it's bounded by the spec.
+- Option B (cleaner): compile the `Pattern` at `SchemaParser.parse(...)` time and store it on `StringSchema` as an extra component. Requires changing `StringSchema` to carry a `Pattern` (or a record containing both raw + compiled). Slightly bigger surface change, but eliminates the cache lookup too.
+
+Recommendation: **A first**, B as a refinement if profiling shows the lookup itself is hot.
+
+**Impact:** ~215 MB of `int[]`/`Matcher` allocations gone; the 31 `validateString` CPU samples drop substantially.
+
+### W3 — Memoise `Spec.resolveSchema` / `Spec.resolveParameter`
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/spec/Spec.java`
+
+`stripPrefix(...)` does `ref.substring(prefix.length())` plus a map lookup on every ref resolution. Refs are spec-static; once resolved, they don't change.
+
+**Sketch:**
+- Two `ConcurrentHashMap` fields on `Spec`: `resolvedSchemas` and `resolvedParameters`.
+- `computeIfAbsent` on lookup. Cache size is bounded by the spec's component count.
+
+**Impact:** ~150 MB of allocs gone; tightens the validator hot path when schemas use `$ref`.
+
+### W4 — Skip `parseQuery` when the operation has no QUERY parameters
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/internal/RequestPreparationFilter.java`
+
+`validateParameters` currently calls `parseQuery(...)` unconditionally, allocating a HashMap even for routes that take no query params (most of them in the smoke test).
+
+**Sketch:**
+```java
+private void validateParameters(HttpExchange exchange, Operation op, Map<String, String> pathParams) {
+  Map<String, String> query = null;     // build only on demand
+  for (Parameter p : op.parameters()) {
+    String value = switch (p.in()) {
+      case PATH -> pathParams.get(p.name());
+      case QUERY -> {
+        if (query == null) query = parseQuery(exchange.getRequestURI().getQuery());
+        yield query.get(p.name());
+      }
+      case HEADER -> exchange.getRequestHeaders().getFirst(p.name());
+      case COOKIE -> null;
+    };
+    …
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Impact:** Eliminates a HashMap (and the `String.split("&")` work) on every GET that has no query parameters.
+
+### W5 — Precompute `Parameter` JSON-pointer at parse time
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/spec/Parameter.java`, `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/internal/RequestPreparationFilter.java`
+
+The pointer string `"/" + p.in().name().toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT) + "/" + p.name()` is rebuilt per request per parameter. It's spec-static.
+
+**Sketch:**
+- Add a `private final String pointer` (or computed accessor) on `Parameter`. Possibly via a `pointer()` method that lazily memoises, since `Parameter` is currently a plain record. A non-record helper on the validate side would also work.
+- Replace the runtime `"/" + … + p.name()` with `p.pointer()`.
+
+**Impact:** Eliminates a few `StringBuilder` + `String` allocs per parameter per request. Small per-request, but parameters validate on every request.
+
+### W6 — (Future / public API) Stream-validate the request body
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/JsonMapper.java`, `RequestPreparationFilter.java`
+
+`getRequestBody().readAllBytes()` allocates ~24 GB worth of throwaway `byte[]` over a million requests at moderate body sizes. Eliminating that means reading-and-validating in a single pass — `JsonMapper.mapFrom(InputStream)` instead of `mapFrom(byte[])`, and forgoing storing the raw bytes for handlers that use `Request.bytes()`.
+
+This is a **public API change** and changes handler ergonomics: handlers that need the raw bytes would have to opt in to caching. Defer until / unless we have a concrete throughput goal that needs it.
+
+### W7 — Read context once per handler
+
+**Files:** `src/main/java/com/retailsvc/http/Request.java` (consumer-facing)
+
+`Request.bytes()`, `parsed()`, `operationId()`, `pathParams()` each do `CONTEXT.get()` independently. Every `get()` walks the JDK's scope chain and allocates a small `Object[]` (sampled at ~237 MB across the run). Internal callers (us) and well-written external handlers should hoist a single `RequestContext`:
+
+**Optional new accessor:**
+```java
+public static RequestContext current() { return CONTEXT.get(); }
+```
+
+Add as an internal escape hatch (or a documented optimisation in handler code) without removing the four typed accessors. `DispatchHandler` should use `current().operationId()` to halve its `ScopedValue.get` cost.
+
+**Impact:** Marginal but free; documents the off-thread-capture pattern users will need anyway.
+
+## Out of scope for the perf PR
+
+- `ScopedValue.Carrier` per-request allocation — JDK-API-mandated, not ours to fix.
+- Test-handler logging allocs — those handlers are example code, not library code.
+- `LinkedList`/`ReferencePipeline` use in `PostListObjectsHandler`/`ParamHandler` — same, test handlers.
+- The k6 / load-shape itself — that's just the measurement harness.
+
+## Sequencing and verification
+
+Suggested PR shape: **W1 → W2 → W3 → W4 → W5** in five small commits, each verifiable independently with `mvn verify`. Add a `JfrAware` benchmark or rerun the k6 + JFR session before/after to confirm impact. W7 is a one-liner addition that can ride along.
+
+W6 deserves its own design doc and probably its own PR after the immediate wins land — and only if a real throughput target makes it necessary.
