Document the serve HTTP endpoints

[diogochaves]

Closes #83.

Extends the ## serve section of docs/CLI.md with a ### HTTP endpoints subsection, per your comment on the issue — no separate docs/SERVE.md, and nothing else in the section touched.

What it documents:

• The three routes (GET /health, GET /usage, GET /cost) and the provider query param, including both / all and the default of querying the providers enabled in Settings when the param is omitted.
• The full error surface as a table: 400, 401 (bearer token on /usage and /cost, /health exempt), 403 (non-local Host), 404, 405, 409 (no_enabled_providers), 503 (connection cap).
• Array response semantics: one object per requested provider, per-provider fetch errors reported inside the entry with the HTTP status still 200, and error text normalized to "provider request failed" without --include-identity.
• /cost scope: Claude, Codex, and Grok; "supported": false for the rest; fixed 30-day window (the cost subcommand's --days flag does not apply).
• The local-only posture: the 127.0.0.1 bind plus the Host-header check, and that every route is read-only.
• Three curl examples with sample JSON shapes, reusing the $TOKEN from the existing example above rather than repeating the token setup.

One note: your heads-up about the --refresh-interval prose resolved itself while this was in flight — #398 wired the cache up, so the section is written against current behavior (post-#398/#325, v1.5.36) and doesn't touch the flag descriptions.

How verified (docs-only change, so verification was against the running server):

cargo build --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p codexbar
target/debug/codexbar serve --port 8124

Then curl-checked every documented behavior against the built 1.5.36 binary: /health unauthenticated (response matches the docs example verbatim), 401 for both a missing and a wrong bearer token, 400 on an unknown provider, 403 via a forged Host: example.com, 404, 405, /cost?provider=claude matching the documented shape and key order, and /cost?provider=grok returning "supported": true.

Note

Add HTTP endpoints section to docs/CLI.md

Documents the serve HTTP API: routes (GET /health, GET /usage, GET /cost), the provider query parameter, and response shapes including per-provider error reporting. Also covers the 30-day scan window limit, supported providers for /cost, the standardized JSON error format with status-specific conditions (400, 401, 403, 404, 405, 409, 503), and example curl invocations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI documentation now describes the local serve server HTTP endpoints, including authentication, provider selection, response formats, errors, cost coverage, concurrency limits, and request examples.

Changes

Serve endpoint documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
HTTP endpoint reference docs/CLI.md	Documents GET /health, /usage, and /cost, including bearer-token requirements, provider query behavior, JSON responses, provider errors, HTTP statuses, cost scan coverage, and examples.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ee415

The documentation contains two bounded inaccuracies: the error schema does not account for the 409 response code, and the read-only wording is broader than the actual behavior because responses may update the cache. The PR is otherwise low risk and mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up correction.

documentation to account for the 409 response’s additional code field, either by
documenting code as an optional field in the common JSON shape or by explicitly
marking the 409 entry as an exception; preserve the existing status and
condition descriptions.
- Line 153: Update the server description near the read-only claim to state that
routes do not mutate usage or account data, while acknowledging that successful
/usage and /cost requests may update the response cache. Keep the existing route
and authentication behavior unchanged.

Checked the routes, error table, and cost scope against rust/src/cli/serve.rs and it all matches current behavior. Thanks for picking this up and for handling the review notes quickly.
