docs: verify REST API implementation completeness

All required REST API endpoints have been verified as implemented: - Settings (GET/POST /api/settings): SQLite-backed with cache - Zones & Portals (CRUD): WebSocket broadcast for live 3D view - Automation Triggers (CRUD + test): VolumeTriggersHandler with webhook/MQTT/Ntfy - Notifications (config + test): Inline handlers with quiet-hours support - Replay/Time-Travel (sessions, start, stop, seek, tune): CSI recording buffer - BLE Devices (list, update): Device registry with person assignment All handlers include OpenAPI-style godoc comments and proper error handling.

+# REST API Implementation Verification
+
+## Summary
+
+All required REST API endpoints have been implemented and are properly registered in the mothership application.
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+### 1. Settings ✓
+**File:** `mothership/internal/api/settings.go`
+- GET /api/settings - Returns all configurable settings as JSON
+- POST /api/settings - Updates settings (partial update, merge semantics)
+- Persistence: SQLite with in-memory cache
+- Registered: Line 286 in main.go
+
+### 2. Zones & Portals ✓
+**File:** `mothership/internal/api/zones.go`
+- GET /api/zones - List all zones
+- POST /api/zones - Create zone
+- PUT /api/zones/{id} - Update zone geometry/name
+- DELETE /api/zones/{id} - Delete zone
+- GET /api/portals - List all portals
+- POST /api/portals - Create portal
+- PUT /api/portals/{id} - Update portal
+- DELETE /api/portals/{id} - Delete portal
+- WebSocket broadcast: Changes reflected in live 3D view within one cycle
+- Registered: Line 2068 in main.go
+
+### 3. Automation Triggers ✓
+**File:** `mothership/internal/api/volume_triggers.go`
+- GET /api/triggers - List all triggers
+- POST /api/triggers - Create trigger
+- PUT /api/triggers/{id} - Update trigger
+- DELETE /api/triggers/{id} - Delete trigger
+- POST /api/triggers/{id}/test - Fire trigger once for testing
+- Additional endpoints: enable, disable, webhook-log, trigger-log
+- Registered: Line 2061 in main.go
+
+### 4. Notifications ✓
+**File:** `mothership/cmd/mothership/main.go` (inline implementation)
+- GET /api/notifications/config - Get delivery channel config
+- POST /api/notifications/config - Set Ntfy/Pushover/webhook settings
+- POST /api/notifications/test - Send a test notification
+- Additional endpoints: history, quiet-hours, channels CRUD
+- Registered: Lines 2226-2326 in main.go
+
+### 5. Replay / Time-Travel ✓
+**File:** `mothership/internal/api/replay.go`
+- GET /api/replay/sessions - List available recording sessions
+- POST /api/replay/start - Start replay at given timestamp
+- POST /api/replay/stop - Stop replay, return to live
+- POST /api/replay/seek - Seek to timestamp within session
+- POST /api/replay/tune - Update pipeline parameters mid-replay
+- Additional endpoints: set-speed, set-state, session state
+- Registered: Line 322 in main.go
+
+### 6. BLE Devices ✓
+**File:** `mothership/internal/ble/handler.go`
+- GET /api/ble/devices - List known devices
+- PUT /api/ble/devices/{mac} - Set label, assign to person
+- Additional endpoints: device history, aliases, merge, split, people management
+- Registered: Line 2075 in main.go
+
+## OpenAPI Documentation
+
+All handlers include OpenAPI-style godoc comments with:
+- @Summary - Brief description
+- @Description - Detailed explanation
+- @Tags - API grouping
+- @Produce - Response content type
+- @Param - Parameter descriptions
+- @Success - Successful response codes
+- @Failure - Error response codes
+- @Router - Endpoint path
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Met
+
+✓ All endpoints return JSON with appropriate status codes
+✓ Settings endpoint persists to SQLite across restarts
+✓ Zone/portal CRUD reflected in live 3D view via WebSocket broadcast
+✓ OpenAPI-style godoc comment on each handler
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+Test files exist for all endpoints:
+- settings_test.go
+- zones_test.go
+- volume_triggers_test.go
+- notifications_test.go
+- replay_test.go
+- ble_test.go
+
+All tests follow table-driven testing patterns and validate:
+- Status codes
+- Request/response formats
+- Edge cases
+- Error handling
