Hono API

A typed, tested API shared safely with the Expo client.

Monorepo projects generate a Node-hosted Hono API in apps/api and a type-only contract in packages/api-contract.

GET /health   public service health
GET /v1/me    authenticated user and profile

The Expo app creates an hc<AppType> client and uses TanStack Query for caching. Only the contract crosses the mobile boundary—server environment modules and secrets do not.

Errors use a consistent { error: { code, message, requestId } } envelope.
