# Epic: Beta API Layer

## Overview

Build the REST API that exposes CRUD endpoints for the data models defined in alpha-service. Provides validation routes and structured JSON responses for downstream consumers.

## Architecture

```
┌──────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
│ REST API     │────►│ Validators   │
│ (FastAPI)    │     │              │
└──────────────┘     └──────────────┘
```

## Success Criteria

- [ ] CRUD endpoints return structured JSON
- [ ] Validation endpoint checks input against schema
- [ ] Health check responds within 50ms
- [ ] API tests cover all endpoints
- [ ] Error responses include descriptive messages

## Task Dependencies

```
Wave 0:
    01-endpoints ──────► 02-validation (Wave 1)
```

## Dispatch Strategy

**Wave 0:** Task 01 (endpoints)
**Wave 1:** Task 02 (validation, depends on endpoints)
