Client Methods

Rule

Browser/client code imports named methods, hooks, or client modules instead of hand-writing REST calls to framework or app routes.

Why

Route shapes are transport details. If components and docs call fetch("/_agent-native/...") or template /api/* routes directly, every caller has to rediscover auth, base paths, request-source headers, JSON parsing, error handling, optimistic updates, sync invalidation, and route quirks. A named client method gives the UI, docs, and future agents one stable contract.

How

1. Look for an existing client API first.
