Subject: [PATCH 1/5] docs: clarify PORT/typed-config relationship across 8
 pages (#660 #7)

Aspire injects PORT at runtime; netscript.config.ts services.<name>.port
(apps.<name>.port for Fresh apps) is the typed source of truth the scaffold
wires as the fallback default. One shared sentence at each first parseInt
occurrence so the raw-env read no longer reads as the canonical pattern.

+
+`createBetterAuthBackend` returns an `AuthBackendPort`, and the piece a page or API route needs is
+`backend.sessions.getSession({ request })`: it validates the request's better-auth session cookie
+through `auth.api.getSession` and returns the normalized `AuthSession` (or `undefined`). Map that
+session to a `Principal` with `backend.principalMapper.mapSessionToPrincipal(session)` and you have
+the scopes and roles to authorize on. The example below gates a Fresh route on an **active** session
+and an `admin` role, failing closed on both.
+
+```ts
+// server/auth-backend.ts — one shared backend instance for the app
+import { auth } from './better-auth.ts'; // your createNetscriptBetterAuth(...) instance
+import { createBetterAuthBackend } from '@netscript/auth-better-auth';
+
+export const backend = createBetterAuthBackend({
+  auth,
+  sessionTokenSecret: Deno.env.get('BETTER_AUTH_SECRET')!,
+});
+```
+
+```tsx
+// routes/admin/index.tsx — a page that only an authenticated admin can load
+import { HttpError } from 'fresh';
+import type { AuthnRequest } from '@netscript/service/auth';
+import { define } from '@/utils/state.ts';
+import { backend } from '../../server/auth-backend.ts';
+
+// Adapt the Fresh Request into the AuthnRequest the backend port reads.
+function toAuthnRequest(req: Request): AuthnRequest {
+  const url = new URL(req.url);
+  return {
+    header: (name) => req.headers.get(name) ?? undefined,
+    headers: () => req.headers,
+    cookie: (name) =>
+      req.headers.get('cookie')
+        ?.split('; ')
+        .find((c) => c.startsWith(`${name}=`))
+        ?.slice(name.length + 1),
+    method: req.method,
+    path: url.pathname,
+  };
+}
+
+export const handler = define.handlers(async (ctx) => {
+  // Resolve the session from the request's better-auth cookie.
+  const session = await backend.sessions.getSession({
+    request: toAuthnRequest(ctx.req),
+  });
+
+  // Fail closed: no active session → redirect to sign-in, never render anonymously.
+  if (!session || session.state !== 'active') {
+    return ctx.redirect('/api/v1/auth/signin');
+  }
+
+  // Map to a NetScript Principal and authorize on its roles.
+  const { principal } = backend.principalMapper.mapSessionToPrincipal(session);
+  if (!principal.roles.includes('admin')) {
+    throw new HttpError(403);
+  }
+
+  return { data: { subject: principal.subject, roles: principal.roles } };
+});
+
+export default define.page<typeof handler>(({ data }) => (
+  <main>
+    <h1>Admin dashboard</h1>
+    <p>Signed in as {data.subject} — roles: {data.roles.join(', ')}</p>
+  </main>
+));
+```
+
+Because `getSession` returns a typed `AuthSession | undefined` and the state check is explicit, the
+route cannot silently degrade to an anonymous render — the same fail-loud discipline the
+[authentication](/identity-access/auth/) page describes for the backend port. A machine-to-machine
+API route follows the identical shape: swap the redirect for `throw new HttpError(401)`.
+

+Issue #660 slice B. Proposals #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #15 from `.llm/runs/docs-audit-662--sonnet/report.md`.
+
+## Grounding / evidence
+
+- **PORT/config (#7).** `packages/config/src/domain/schemas/service-schema.ts:11` types `port: z.number()`; `netscript-config-schema.ts:142,144` expose `services`/`apps` records. Scaffold entrypoints read `parseInt(Deno.env.get('PORT') || '<port>')` (`packages/cli/src/kernel/assets/embedded.generated.ts`), and the scaffolder writes the same value into config (`adapters/service/scaffolder.ts:115 port: options.servicePort`). Claim verified: Aspire injects PORT at runtime; `services.<name>.port` (apps: `apps.<name>.port`) is the typed source of truth.
+- **#11 queue APIs.** `packages/queue/factory/{create-typed-queue,create-queue,create-parallel-queue}.ts`; `QueueProvider` enum `ports/options.ts:14`; `enqueue`/`listen` on `ports/message-queue.ts`. All cited symbols exist.
+- **#11 workers executor.** `createDefaultTaskExecutor` + `TaskRuntimeAdapterLike` in `packages/plugin-workers-core/src/executor/` (import path `@netscript/plugin-workers-core/executor`).
+- **#12 better-auth route guard.** `createBetterAuthBackend` returns `AuthBackendPort` with `sessions.getSession({ request })` and `principalMapper.mapSessionToPrincipal` (`packages/auth-better-auth/src/better-auth-backend.ts`). `AuthnRequest` exported from `@netscript/service/auth` (`packages/service/src/auth/mod.ts:53`); `AuthSession.state`/`Principal.roles` per auth.md tables.
+
+## Per-page changes
+
+(appended as slices land)
+
+### #7 — PORT / typed-config consistency (8 pages)
+One shared sentence at the first `parseInt(Deno.env.get('PORT')...)` occurrence per page:
+`how-to/expose-openapi-scalar.md`, `how-to/add-a-service.md`, `tutorials/storefront/02-catalog-service.md`,
+`tutorials/live-dashboard/02-contract-to-service.md`, `services-sdk/services.md`, `explanation/contracts.md`,
+`how-to/add-opentelemetry.md` — all use `services.<name>.port`; `how-to/customize-fresh-ui.md` uses
+`apps.<name>.port` (Fresh app). Commit 1.
+
+### #8 — reference/ai/index.md
+Added a block-quote note: AI provider keys have no typed config surface (by design); raw
+`Deno.env.get` is the supported path, secrets injected by the runtime env. Commit 2.
+
+### #9 — reference/queue/index.md + reference/kv/index.md
+"See it live" link blocks (how-to/queue-kv-cron, how-to/choose-a-queue-provider, data-persistence
+concept) before the reference-overview footer. Commit 2.
+
+### #10 — reference/contracts/index.md + reference/sdk/index.md
+Contracts lede: contracts obviate manual `req.json()` validation (rejected before handler runs).
+SDK lede: `defineServices()` wires clients + query factories + query utils in one call. Commit 2.
+
+### #15 — durable-workflows/streams.md
+One sentence reframing "no in-process subscribe()" as an intentional single HTTP/SSE surface shared
+by browser and server consumers. Commit 2.
+
+### #11 — three decision how-tos
+Runnable end-to-end block (resulting file + full command sequence) per page at deploy-local-aspire
+density: `discover-services.md` (declare ref → service generate → aspire start → typed client),
+`choose-a-queue-provider.md` (same call site on Deno KV then Redis), `add-a-task-runtime-adapter.md`
+(node task file + runner + `deno run` + expected output). Commit 3.
+
+### #12 — identity-access/better-auth-plugins.md
+Complete `routes/admin/index.tsx` handler gated on active session + admin role via
+`backend.sessions.getSession` / `principalMapper.mapSessionToPrincipal`, fail-closed. Commit 4.
+
+## Validation
+- Grep gate (public-docs law) on all 18 touched files: 0 hits.
+- `deno task verify` from docs/site: build 512 files; check:links 23456 links across **169 pages**
+  all resolve; check:caveats 27 markers across 22 pages all resolve. 169 ≈ expected ~169 — base not stale.
+
+## Commits
