Fibgle — internal Google Business Profile twin

This is the in-app home / how-to-use docs page. It is not the place page.

Fibgle is an internal-only, byte-faithful digital twin of the Google Business Profile API, so rosie's eventual real Google integration can run unmodified against a stable URL. It clones the shape of the Google surface — the same host/path shapes, byte-identical envelopes, and the exact edges rosie branches on — not the product. As the topbar says: internal twin, not Google. This is a testing tool, not a public Maps/Google product.

This is the in-app home, not the place page

There are two server-rendered surfaces; do not confuse them:

• GET / (this page) — the how-to-use docs / landing page you are reading now.
• GET /m/locations/:locationId — the public "looks like Google" place page (a Google-style business card + reviews), plus its /write composer and the POST that inserts a simulated review. That surface mimics Google; this one explains Fibgle.

The base-URL premise (why Fibgle exists)

rosie points its Google client at Fibgle by overriding the Google hosts. Because Fibgle answers on the same host/path shapes with byte-identical envelopes, rosie cannot tell it apart from Google — no client code changes, just a base-URL swap.

Recommended topology: a single path-routed Worker answering every Google surface; fallback: four custom domains (one per Google host).

Standing caveat: the base-URL premise is currently undemonstrated / blocked pending rosie's real GBP client. rosie has no business.manage GBP client yet — only better-auth Google login — so the single-Worker topology is recommended-pending-confirmation, not proven end-to-end. Fibgle itself faithfully answers the Google shapes regardless of which topology rosie eventually wires up.

How rosie drives it: CONNECT → ENUMERATE → SYNC

Documentation-altitude walkthrough (prose only — there are no live forms on this page).

1. CONNECT — authorize at /o/oauth2/v2/auth, then exchange the code at /token for an access + refresh pair. Replaying the same authorization code within ~120s is idempotent and returns the same token pair.
2. ENUMERATE — list the bearer user's accounts at /v1/accounts, then their locations at /v1/accounts/:accountId/locations. readMask is REQUIRED on the Business Information v1 reads (absent/empty → 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT).
3. SYNC (poll) — poll the legacy v4 reviews surface at /v4/accounts/:a/locations/:l/reviews. Walk nextPageToken to the last page (nextPageToken is absent on the final page) and keep rows where updateTime > cutoff since the previous poll.
4. SYNC (reply) — upsert a reply with PUT .../reviews/:reviewId/reply. The upsert bumps the parent review's updateTime, so the row resurfaces on the next incremental poll.
5. Auth edges — a 401 is recoverable: do one refresh at /token (grant_type=refresh_token) and retry once. A 403 is terminal (permission denied) — do not retry.

How to seed / simulate data

Several non-Google paths put data into the twin:

• Stand up a whole multi-business world (seed pack) — POST /admin/seed/pack with {pack:"nl-restaurants"} (or us-diners, or a raw pack body) creates N accounts + locations with varied locales/categories and a starting review distribution, and returns every minted id. This is the fastest way to exercise accounts.list paging and a multi-account catalog.
• Provision individual profiles — POST /admin/accounts creates one account + a connectable grant; POST /admin/accounts/:accountId/locations adds a location under it. (The same thing in one JSON file: the create-account / create-location scenario ops, linked to reviews by named ref.)
• Human, via the public UI — open a place page's /m/locations/:locationId/write composer and post a review using the mock identity picker.
• Script reviews, via the operator console — POST /admin/seed/baseline installs the baseline world; POST /admin/seed runs JSON scenarios (create/reply/edit/delete/bulk/time-travel); the single-row /admin/reviews/* endpoints edit one review; and POST /sim/tokens/expire force-expires access tokens to fire the 401 → refresh → retry path.

Invariant: every settable field round-trips through GET .../reviews, every mutation recomputes the location's averageRating / totalReviewCount, and a provisioned account/location reads back byte-identically through the v1/v4 surfaces — indistinguishable from a fixture one (one shared write path).

Operator & simulation surfaces are gated (and hidden by default)

The operator surfaces — /admin, /admin/seed*, /admin/reviews/*, and /sim/* — are gated by the FIBGLE_SEED_TOKEN secret via seedGate.

• Secure default: when FIBGLE_SEED_TOKEN is unset, these routes return 404 — there is no open console.
• When set: callers must present the matching token via the x-fibgle-seed-token header or a ?token= query param; a wrong or missing token also returns an opaque 404 (never 401/403, so the surface's existence is not leaked).

This page documents only the env-var name and the mechanism — never a token value.

Complete route surface

Every route Fibgle serves, grouped by surface. METHOD · PATH · purpose · auth.

meta

Public probes — no auth, no gating, always reachable.

oauth

accounts.google.com / oauth2.googleapis.com shapes. No data-API authenticate(); FLAT {error, error_description} envelope.

accounts-v1

Account Management v1. All call authenticate() (Bearer + business.manage) + quotaGate on /v1/*; google.rpc.Status envelope.

locations-v1

Business Information v1. authenticate() + quotaGate on /v1/*; readMask REQUIRED (absent/empty → 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT, field=read_mask).

reviews-v4

Legacy GMB v4 — the poll surface. authenticate() + resolveLocation ownership + quotaGate on /v4/*; starRating word-enum (FIVE); aggregates on every page; google.rpc.Status.

public

/m SSR simulation surfaces. No authenticate(), no seedGate(); mock identity picker; histogram is UI-only.

operator

Hidden, NON-Google. Gated by the FIBGLE_SEED_TOKEN secret via seedGate. Secure default: 404 when the token is UNSET (no open console). When set, callers must present the matching token (x-fibgle-seed-token header or ?token=) or also get an OPAQUE 404 (never 401/403). Mechanism + env-var name only — never a value.

What Fibgle does NOT clone

• No posts, media, Q&A, insights, attributes, verification, service-items, or food-menus.
• No Pub/Sub push — rosie is poll-only.
• No rosie-side data model lives here.
• batchGetReviews is a shape-only stub rosie does not call.
• The public UI and the seed/admin console are testing affordances, not part of the byte-faithful contract.
• The place-page histogram is UI-only — the v4 API returns only averageRating + totalReviewCount, never a histogram.
• No real Google sign-in — there is a mock identity picker / fixed mock user, overridable via ?fibgle_user=.
• Dropped proposal items: no HMAC-signed tokens / no FIBGLE_TOKEN_SIGNING_SECRET (tokens are opaque, validated by D1 lookup), and no KV (OAuth codes live in D1).

Where the source of truth lives

• Spec: the proposal at docs/proposals/google-business-clone.md.
• As-built: apps/fibgle/docs/ — on any disagreement, the as-built docs win.

Liveness / provenance probes: GET /healthz and GET /build-info. The read-only place pages live at GET /m/locations/:locationId.
