Overview

Compose better-data DTOs with the better-route library — use BetterRouteBridge::{get, post, put, patch, delete} to register a REST route that hydrates the request into a DTO, validates, calls the handler with (DataObject, mixed $request), and presents returned DataObject values through Presenter with PresentationContext::rest(). Contract — the bridge is method-name based (duck-types Router / RouteBuilder) so better-data takes no hard Composer dependency on better-route. URL-owned fields go into routeFields option — those are merged from URL params AND rejected from JSON / body / query buckets via RequestParamCollisionException; this is the route-side equivalent of RequestSource::noCollision. Use when wiring DTO-backed REST endpoints, feeding DTO schemas into better-route's OpenAPI exporter, or moving request data from a route handler into a better-data DataObject. Triggers on BetterRouteBridge::get/post/put/patch/delete, routeFields, RequestParamCollisionException, OpenAPI / OpenApi DT

better-data: Composing with better-route

For developers using better-data and better-route together — DTO-backed REST endpoints, OpenAPI generation from DTO schemas, request hydration into typed DataObject instances inside route handlers. The integration seam is the optional BetterRouteBridge (src/Route/BetterRouteBridge.php); using it correctly keeps the data layer free of router concerns and the router layer free of data-shape concerns.

Misconception this skill corrects

"I'll just use register_rest_route directly inside my better-data consumer code, parse WP_REST_Request myself, and call MyDto::fromArray($request->get_params())."

That works for one route. For an API of 10+ routes, it duplicates the request-parsing, validation, route-owned-field, and Presenter-projection wiring at every callsite. The bridge centralizes that pipeline:

Register the route on better-route's Router via the appropriate HTTP-verb method.
On request, hydrate a WP_REST_Request-shaped object into the DTO (URL params, JSON body, query string — buckets resolved per source option).
Reject collisions: a route-owned field like id (in the URL /posts/{id}) MUST NOT also appear in the JSON body — RequestParamCollisionException (line 194, 680).
Validate the DTO via the BuiltInValidator.
Call the handler with (DataObject $dto, mixed $request).
If the handler returns a DataObject, present through Presenter::for($dto)->context(PresentationContext::rest()).

Other AI-prone misconceptions:

"I'll add better-route/better-route as a hard runtime dep of better-data so the bridge always works." Wrong — the bridge is deliberately duck-typed by method name (class docblock at lines 21-26) so better-data installs without better-route. Don't break that.
"Permission and middleware concerns are data-layer, so I'll put permissionCallback inside the DTO." Wrong — those are route-owned and pass through the bridge's $options to better-route's RouteBuilder. The data layer doesn't care who's allowed; the route layer does.
"I'll reimplement better-route's Resource DSL inside better-data so consumers only need one library." Wrong — the bridge composes; it doesn't replace either side. Keep the boundary.

When to use this skill

Trigger when ANY of the following is true:

The diff or PR registers a REST route AND uses a DataObject for request parsing or response shaping.
Calls to BetterRouteBridge::{get, post, put, patch, delete}.
The diff modifies src/Route/BetterRouteBridge.php.
OpenAPI exporter setup that includes DTO schemas.
The consumer asks "how do I get a DTO from WP_REST_Request?" or "how do I avoid duplicating request parsing across 20 routes?".

Workflow

1. Read better-route's flow first when behavior is unclear

Don't edit better-route from a better-data PR. The relevant files in the sibling repo:

../better-route/README.md — overview.
../better-route/src/Router/Router.php — main entry.
../better-route/src/Router/RouteBuilder.php — fluent builder for one route.
../better-route/src/OpenApi/OpenApiExporter.php — schema export.

Use the bridge as the integration seam; if you find yourself wanting to change better-route to make the bridge work, that's a sign the bridge needs to absorb the concern instead.

2. Register a read route

use BetterData\Route\BetterRouteBridge;
use MyPlugin\Dto\PostDto;

$router = my_plugin_get_router();  // returns the better-route Router instance

BetterRouteBridge::get(
    $router,
    '/posts/{id}',
    PostDto::class,
    function (PostDto $dto, $request) {
        // $dto is hydrated from URL params (id in particular)
        // $request is the original better-route / WP_REST_Request-ish object
        return PostDto::fromPost($dto->id);  // re-hydrate from store, return for projection
    },
    [
        'routeFields'        => ['id'],  // 'id' lives in the URL, not in body / query
        'permissionCallback' => 'is_user_logged_in',
    ],
);

The handler returns a DataObject. The bridge wraps the response through Presenter::for($returned)->context(PresentationContext::rest())->toArray(), applying Sensitive / Secret redaction automatically.

3. Register a write route

BetterRouteBridge::post(
    $router,
    '/posts',
    CreatePostDto::class,
    function (CreatePostDto $dto, $request) {
        $id = $dto->saveAsPost();  // via HasWpSinks
        return PostDto::fromPost($id);
    },
    [
        // No routeFields — entire DTO comes from JSON body
        'permissionCallback' => fn () => current_user_can('edit_posts'),
    ],
);

For POST / PUT / PATCH, the body is the canonical source. Validation runs before the handler — if the DTO has #[Rule\Required] on a missing field, the bridge returns a 4xx with the validation report.

4. URL-owned fields and the collision guard

Verified at BetterRouteBridge.php:244-249, 661-680:

// In options:
['routeFields' => ['id', 'slug']]

// At dispatch time:
self::assertNoRouteFieldCollisions($request, ['id', 'slug']);
// Throws RequestParamCollisionException::forFields(['id']) if 'id' appears in BOTH the URL and the JSON body.

Why: a request PUT /posts/5 with {"id": 7, "title": "..."} is ambiguous — does the user want to update post 5 with the new id 7, or did they accidentally include a stale id? The bridge rejects the request to surface the bug. This is the route-side equivalent of RequestSource::noCollision for JSON/body/query buckets.

5. Bucket selection via `source` option

The source option (default 'auto') controls where the bridge looks for non-route fields:

Value	Meaning
`'auto'`	Pick by HTTP method — body for write, query for read
`'merged'`	Merge JSON + body + query into one bag (loose)
`'json'`	Only the JSON-decoded body
`'body'`	Form-encoded body
`'query'`	URL query string
`'url'`	Only the URL params (degenerate — combine with `routeFields`)

For most routes, 'auto' is correct. Use a specific value when you need to lock down where data comes from (security-sensitive endpoint that ignores query strings, etc.).

6. Generate `args` and `meta` automatically

Better-route's RouteBuilder accepts args(...) (REST args schema) and meta(...) (request metadata). The bridge fills both from the DTO automatically:

// Inside register():
$args = MetaKeyRegistry::toRestArgs($dtoClass);   // produces the args spec
$meta = MetaKeyRegistry::toJsonSchema($dtoClass); // produces JSON schema

For OpenAPI integration:

$exporter = BetterRoute::openApiExporter();
$components = BetterRouteBridge::openApiComponents([
    PostDto::class,
    CreatePostDto::class,
    UpdatePostDto::class,
]);
$exporter->addComponents($components);

openApiComponents (line 349) walks each DTO class, extracts its REST schema via RestSchemaBuilder, and returns a components.schemas-shaped array.

7. Permission and middleware stay route-owned

BetterRouteBridge::post($router, '/posts', CreatePostDto::class, $handler, [
    'permissionCallback' => fn () => current_user_can('edit_posts'),
    'middlewares'        => [
        new RateLimitMiddleware(60, 'minute'),
        new AuditLogMiddleware('post_create'),
    ],
]);

The bridge passes both options straight to better-route's RouteBuilder::permissionCallback(...) and ->middleware(...). Don't introduce auth-related abstractions in the data layer.

8. Tests

Bridge unit tests (tests/Unit/BetterRouteBridgeTest.php) use fake Router / RouteBuilder / request objects — no WP, no real better-route required. The fakes implement the duck-typed methods (get, post, args, meta, etc.) and assert the bridge invokes them with the expected arguments.

Live-WP behavior (real register_rest_route, real WP request parsing) goes in the companion plugin's smoke / stress suite.

vendor/bin/phpunit --filter BetterRouteBridge
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=1G
vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix
wp better-data stress --filter BridgeRoute

Critical rules

Use the bridge as the integration seam, not direct register_rest_route from data-layer code. Centralizes hydration, validation, route-fields, and Presenter projection.
Method-name duck typing. The bridge talks to Router / RouteBuilder by method name; don't add a hard Composer dependency on better-route/better-route. Better-data must install standalone.
routeFields for URL-owned fields. Always set when the DTO has a parameter that's bound to a URL placeholder. Without it, you get JSON-body-vs-URL collisions silently.
RequestParamCollisionException is loud and intentional. Don't catch and ignore — the request is genuinely ambiguous.
Permission and middleware stay route-owned. Pass through the $options bag; don't introduce auth abstractions in better-data.
Don't reimplement better-route's Resource DSL. The bridge composes existing primitives.
MetaKeyRegistry::toRestArgs / toJsonSchema generate the schema; don't duplicate that work in the consumer.
Returned DTO → Presenter::rest() projection automatically. Don't manually ->toArray() from the handler — that bypasses sensitive-field redaction.
Bridge tests use fakes. Don't require WP or better-route in unit tests.

Common mistakes

// WRONG — register_rest_route directly, bypassing the bridge
\register_rest_route('myplugin/v1', '/posts/(?P<id>\d+)', [
    'callback' => function (\WP_REST_Request $req) {
        $dto = PostDto::fromArray((array) $req->get_params());  // WRONG: no routeFields, no validation, no projection
        return PostDto::fromPost($dto->id)->toArray();          // WRONG: bypasses Presenter redaction
    },
]);

// RIGHT — through the bridge
BetterRouteBridge::get($router, '/posts/{id}', PostDto::class,
    fn (PostDto $dto) => PostDto::fromPost($dto->id),
    ['routeFields' => ['id']],
);

// WRONG — hard Composer dep on better-route
// composer.json: "require": { "better-route/better-route": "^1.0" }
// Now better-data can't be installed standalone for testing.

// RIGHT — soft dep, duck-typed
// composer.json: "suggest": { "better-route/better-route": "Optional REST router integration" }

// WRONG — missing routeFields
BetterRouteBridge::put($router, '/posts/{id}', UpdatePostDto::class, $handler, [
    // No 'routeFields' option
]);
// Request: PUT /posts/5 with {"id":

# better-data: Composing with better-route

For developers using better-data and better-route together — DTO-backed REST endpoints, OpenAPI generation from DTO schemas, request hydration into typed `DataObject` instances inside route handlers. The integration seam is the optional `BetterRouteBridge` ([src/Route/BetterRouteBridge.php](BetterRouteBridge.php)); using it correctly keeps the data layer free of router concerns and the router layer free of data-shape concerns.

    },
    [
        'routeFields'        => ['id'],  // 'id' lives in the URL, not in body / query

`openApiComponents` ([line 349](BetterRouteBridge.php)) walks each DTO class, extracts its REST schema via `RestSchemaBuilder`, and returns a `components.schemas`-shaped array.

better-data: Composing with better-route

Misconception this skill corrects

"I'll just use register_rest_route directly inside my better-data consumer code, parse WP_REST_Request myself, and call MyDto::fromArray($request->get_params())."

Register the route on better-route's Router via the appropriate HTTP-verb method.
On request, hydrate a WP_REST_Request-shaped object into the DTO (URL params, JSON body, query string — buckets resolved per source option).
Reject collisions: a route-owned field like id (in the URL /posts/{id}) MUST NOT also appear in the JSON body — RequestParamCollisionException (line 194, 680).
Validate the DTO via the BuiltInValidator.
Call the handler with (DataObject $dto, mixed $request).
If the handler returns a DataObject, present through Presenter::for($dto)->context(PresentationContext::rest()).

Other AI-prone misconceptions:

"I'll add better-route/better-route as a hard runtime dep of better-data so the bridge always works." Wrong — the bridge is deliberately duck-typed by method name (class docblock at lines 21-26) so better-data installs without better-route. Don't break that.
"Permission and middleware concerns are data-layer, so I'll put permissionCallback inside the DTO." Wrong — those are route-owned and pass through the bridge's $options to better-route's RouteBuilder. The data layer doesn't care who's allowed; the route layer does.
"I'll reimplement better-route's Resource DSL inside better-data so consumers only need one library." Wrong — the bridge composes; it doesn't replace either side. Keep the boundary.

When to use this skill

Trigger when ANY of the following is true:

The diff or PR registers a REST route AND uses a DataObject for request parsing or response shaping.
Calls to BetterRouteBridge::{get, post, put, patch, delete}.
The diff modifies src/Route/BetterRouteBridge.php.
OpenAPI exporter setup that includes DTO schemas.
The consumer asks "how do I get a DTO from WP_REST_Request?" or "how do I avoid duplicating request parsing across 20 routes?".

Workflow

1. Read better-route's flow first when behavior is unclear

Don't edit better-route from a better-data PR. The relevant files in the sibling repo:

../better-route/README.md — overview.
../better-route/src/Router/Router.php — main entry.
../better-route/src/Router/RouteBuilder.php — fluent builder for one route.
../better-route/src/OpenApi/OpenApiExporter.php — schema export.

Use the bridge as the integration seam; if you find yourself wanting to change better-route to make the bridge work, that's a sign the bridge needs to absorb the concern instead.

2. Register a read route

use BetterData\Route\BetterRouteBridge;
use MyPlugin\Dto\PostDto;

$router = my_plugin_get_router();  // returns the better-route Router instance

BetterRouteBridge::get(
    $router,
    '/posts/{id}',
    PostDto::class,
    function (PostDto $dto, $request) {
        // $dto is hydrated from URL params (id in particular)
        // $request is the original better-route / WP_REST_Request-ish object
        return PostDto::fromPost($dto->id);  // re-hydrate from store, return for projection
    },
    [
        'routeFields'        => ['id'],  // 'id' lives in the URL, not in body / query
        'permissionCallback' => 'is_user_logged_in',
    ],
);

3. Register a write route

BetterRouteBridge::post(
    $router,
    '/posts',
    CreatePostDto::class,
    function (CreatePostDto $dto, $request) {
        $id = $dto->saveAsPost();  // via HasWpSinks
        return PostDto::fromPost($id);
    },
    [
        // No routeFields — entire DTO comes from JSON body
        'permissionCallback' => fn () => current_user_can('edit_posts'),
    ],
);

4. URL-owned fields and the collision guard

Verified at BetterRouteBridge.php:244-249, 661-680:

// In options:
['routeFields' => ['id', 'slug']]

// At dispatch time:
self::assertNoRouteFieldCollisions($request, ['id', 'slug']);
// Throws RequestParamCollisionException::forFields(['id']) if 'id' appears in BOTH the URL and the JSON body.

5. Bucket selection via `source` option

The source option (default 'auto') controls where the bridge looks for non-route fields:

Value	Meaning
`'auto'`	Pick by HTTP method — body for write, query for read
`'merged'`	Merge JSON + body + query into one bag (loose)
`'json'`	Only the JSON-decoded body
`'body'`	Form-encoded body
`'query'`	URL query string
`'url'`	Only the URL params (degenerate — combine with `routeFields`)

For most routes, 'auto' is correct. Use a specific value when you need to lock down where data comes from (security-sensitive endpoint that ignores query strings, etc.).

6. Generate `args` and `meta` automatically

Better-route's RouteBuilder accepts args(...) (REST args schema) and meta(...) (request metadata). The bridge fills both from the DTO automatically:

// Inside register():
$args = MetaKeyRegistry::toRestArgs($dtoClass);   // produces the args spec
$meta = MetaKeyRegistry::toJsonSchema($dtoClass); // produces JSON schema

For OpenAPI integration:

$exporter = BetterRoute::openApiExporter();
$components = BetterRouteBridge::openApiComponents([
    PostDto::class,
    CreatePostDto::class,
    UpdatePostDto::class,
]);
$exporter->addComponents($components);

openApiComponents (line 349) walks each DTO class, extracts its REST schema via RestSchemaBuilder, and returns a components.schemas-shaped array.

7. Permission and middleware stay route-owned

BetterRouteBridge::post($router, '/posts', CreatePostDto::class, $handler, [
    'permissionCallback' => fn () => current_user_can('edit_posts'),
    'middlewares'        => [
        new RateLimitMiddleware(60, 'minute'),
        new AuditLogMiddleware('post_create'),
    ],
]);

The bridge passes both options straight to better-route's RouteBuilder::permissionCallback(...) and ->middleware(...). Don't introduce auth-related abstractions in the data layer.

8. Tests

Live-WP behavior (real register_rest_route, real WP request parsing) goes in the companion plugin's smoke / stress suite.

vendor/bin/phpunit --filter BetterRouteBridge
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=1G
vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix
wp better-data stress --filter BridgeRoute

Critical rules

Use the bridge as the integration seam, not direct register_rest_route from data-layer code. Centralizes hydration, validation, route-fields, and Presenter projection.
Method-name duck typing. The bridge talks to Router / RouteBuilder by method name; don't add a hard Composer dependency on better-route/better-route. Better-data must install standalone.
routeFields for URL-owned fields. Always set when the DTO has a parameter that's bound to a URL placeholder. Without it, you get JSON-body-vs-URL collisions silently.
RequestParamCollisionException is loud and intentional. Don't catch and ignore — the request is genuinely ambiguous.
Permission and middleware stay route-owned. Pass through the $options bag; don't introduce auth abstractions in better-data.
Don't reimplement better-route's Resource DSL. The bridge composes existing primitives.
MetaKeyRegistry::toRestArgs / toJsonSchema generate the schema; don't duplicate that work in the consumer.
Returned DTO → Presenter::rest() projection automatically. Don't manually ->toArray() from the handler — that bypasses sensitive-field redaction.
Bridge tests use fakes. Don't require WP or better-route in unit tests.

Common mistakes

// WRONG — register_rest_route directly, bypassing the bridge
\register_rest_route('myplugin/v1', '/posts/(?P<id>\d+)', [
    'callback' => function (\WP_REST_Request $req) {
        $dto = PostDto::fromArray((array) $req->get_params());  // WRONG: no routeFields, no validation, no projection
        return PostDto::fromPost($dto->id)->toArray();          // WRONG: bypasses Presenter redaction
    },
]);

// RIGHT — through the bridge
BetterRouteBridge::get($router, '/posts/{id}', PostDto::class,
    fn (PostDto $dto) => PostDto::fromPost($dto->id),
    ['routeFields' => ['id']],
);

// WRONG — hard Composer dep on better-route
// composer.json: "require": { "better-route/better-route": "^1.0" }
// Now better-data can't be installed standalone for testing.

// RIGHT — soft dep, duck-typed
// composer.json: "suggest": { "better-route/better-route": "Optional REST router integration" }

// WRONG — missing routeFields
BetterRouteBridge::put($router, '/posts/{id}', UpdatePostDto::class, $handler, [
    // No 'routeFields' option
]);
// Request: PUT /posts/5 with {"id":

# better-data: Composing with better-route

For developers using better-data and better-route together — DTO-backed REST endpoints, OpenAPI generation from DTO schemas, request hydration into typed `DataObject` instances inside route handlers. The integration seam is the optional `BetterRouteBridge` ([src/Route/BetterRouteBridge.php](BetterRouteBridge.php)); using it correctly keeps the data layer free of router concerns and the router layer free of data-shape concerns.

## Misconception this skill corrects

> "I'll just use `register_rest_route` directly inside my better-data consumer code, parse `WP_REST_Request` myself, and call `MyDto::fromArray($request->get_params())`."

That works for one route. For an API of 10+ routes, it duplicates the request-parsing, validation, route-owned-field, and Presenter-projection wiring at every callsite. The bridge centralizes that pipeline:

1. Register the route on `better-route`'s `Router` via the appropriate HTTP-verb method.
2. On request, hydrate a `WP_REST_Request`-shaped object into the DTO (URL params, JSON body, query string — buckets resolved per `source` option).
3. Reject collisions: a route-owned field like `id` (in the URL `/posts/{id}`) MUST NOT also appear in the JSON body — `RequestParamCollisionException` ([line 194, 680](BetterRouteBridge.php)).
4. Validate the DTO via the `BuiltInValidator`.
5. Call the handler with `(DataObject $dto, mixed $request)`.
6. If the handler returns a `DataObject`, present through `Presenter::for($dto)->context(PresentationContext::rest())`.

Other AI-prone misconceptions:

- "I'll add `better-route/better-route` as a hard runtime dep of better-data so the bridge always works." Wrong — the bridge is deliberately duck-typed by method name ([class docblock at lines 21-26](BetterRouteBridge.php)) so better-data installs without better-route. Don't break that.
- "Permission and middleware concerns are data-layer, so I'll put `permissionCallback` inside the DTO." Wrong — those are route-owned and pass through the bridge's `$options` to better-route's `RouteBuilder`. The data layer doesn't care who's allowed; the route layer does.
- "I'll reimplement better-route's Resource DSL inside better-data so consumers only need one library." Wrong — the bridge composes; it doesn't replace either side. Keep the boundary.

## When to use this skill

Trigger when ANY of the following is true:

- The diff or PR registers a REST route AND uses a `DataObject` for request parsing or response shaping.
- Calls to `BetterRouteBridge::{get, post, put, patch, delete}`.
- The diff modifies `src/Route/BetterRouteBridge.php`.
- OpenAPI exporter setup that includes DTO schemas.
- The consumer asks "how do I get a DTO from `WP_REST_Request`?" or "how do I avoid duplicating request parsing across 20 routes?".

## Workflow

### 1. Read better-route's flow first when behavior is unclear

Don't edit `better-route` from a better-data PR. The relevant files in the sibling repo:

- `../better-route/README.md` — overview.
- `../better-route/src/Router/Router.php` — main entry.
- `../better-route/src/Router/RouteBuilder.php` — fluent builder for one route.
- `../better-route/src/OpenApi/OpenApiExporter.php` — schema export.

Use the bridge as the integration seam; if you find yourself wanting to change better-route to make the bridge work, that's a sign the bridge needs to absorb the concern instead.

### 2. Register a read route

```php
use BetterData\Route\BetterRouteBridge;
use MyPlugin\Dto\PostDto;

$router = my_plugin_get_router();  // returns the better-route Router instance

BetterRouteBridge::get(
    $router,
    '/posts/{id}',
    PostDto::class,
    function (PostDto $dto, $request) {
        // $dto is hydrated from URL params (id in particular)
        // $request is the original better-route / WP_REST_Request-ish object
        return PostDto::fromPost($dto->id);  // re-hydrate from store, return for projection
    },
    [
        'routeFields'        => ['id'],  // 'id' lives in the URL, not in body / query
        'permissionCallback' => 'is_user_logged_in',
    ],
);
```

The handler returns a `DataObject`. The bridge wraps the response through `Presenter::for($returned)->context(PresentationContext::rest())->toArray()`, applying `Sensitive` / `Secret` redaction automatically.

### 3. Register a write route

```php
BetterRouteBridge::post(
    $router,
    '/posts',
    CreatePostDto::class,
    function (CreatePostDto $dto, $request) {
        $id = $dto->saveAsPost();  // via HasWpSinks
        return PostDto::fromPost($id);
    },
    [
        // No routeFields — entire DTO comes from JSON body
        'permissionCallback' => fn () => current_user_can('edit_posts'),
    ],
);
```

For `POST` / `PUT` / `PATCH`, the body is the canonical source. Validation runs before the handler — if the DTO has `#[Rule\Required]` on a missing field, the bridge returns a 4xx with the validation report.

### 4. URL-owned fields and the collision guard

Verified at [BetterRouteBridge.php:244-249, 661-680](BetterRouteBridge.php):

```php
// In options:
['routeFields' => ['id', 'slug']]

// At dispatch time:
self::assertNoRouteFieldCollisions($request, ['id', 'slug']);
// Throws RequestParamCollisionException::forFields(['id']) if 'id' appears in BOTH the URL and the JSON body.
```

Why: a request `PUT /posts/5` with `{"id": 7, "title": "..."}` is ambiguous — does the user want to update post 5 with the new id 7, or did they accidentally include a stale id? The bridge rejects the request to surface the bug. This is the route-side equivalent of `RequestSource::noCollision` for JSON/body/query buckets.

### 5. Bucket selection via `source` option

The `source` option (default `'auto'`) controls where the bridge looks for non-route fields:

| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `'auto'` | Pick by HTTP method — body for write, query for read |
| `'merged'` | Merge JSON + body + query into one bag (loose) |
| `'json'` | Only the JSON-decoded body |
| `'body'` | Form-encoded body |
| `'query'` | URL query string |
| `'url'` | Only the URL params (degenerate — combine with `routeFields`) |

For most routes, `'auto'` is correct. Use a specific value when you need to lock down where data comes from (security-sensitive endpoint that ignores query strings, etc.).

### 6. Generate `args` and `meta` automatically

Better-route's `RouteBuilder` accepts `args(...)` (REST args schema) and `meta(...)` (request metadata). The bridge fills both from the DTO automatically:

```php
// Inside register():
$args = MetaKeyRegistry::toRestArgs($dtoClass);   // produces the args spec
$meta = MetaKeyRegistry::toJsonSchema($dtoClass); // produces JSON schema
```

For OpenAPI integration:

```php
$exporter = BetterRoute::openApiExporter();
$components = BetterRouteBridge::openApiComponents([
    PostDto::class,
    CreatePostDto::class,
    UpdatePostDto::class,
]);
$exporter->addComponents($components);
```

`openApiComponents` ([line 349](BetterRouteBridge.php)) walks each DTO class, extracts its REST schema via `RestSchemaBuilder`, and returns a `components.schemas`-shaped array.

### 7. Permission and middleware stay route-owned

```php
BetterRouteBridge::post($router, '/posts', CreatePostDto::class, $handler, [
    'permissionCallback' => fn () => current_user_can('edit_posts'),
    'middlewares'        => [
        new RateLimitMiddleware(60, 'minute'),
        new AuditLogMiddleware('post_create'),
    ],
]);
```

The bridge passes both options straight to better-route's `RouteBuilder::permissionCallback(...)` and `->middleware(...)`. Don't introduce auth-related abstractions in the data layer.

### 8. Tests

Bridge unit tests ([tests/Unit/BetterRouteBridgeTest.php](BetterRouteBridgeTest.php)) use fake `Router` / `RouteBuilder` / request objects — no WP, no real better-route required. The fakes implement the duck-typed methods (`get`, `post`, `args`, `meta`, etc.) and assert the bridge invokes them with the expected arguments.

Live-WP behavior (real `register_rest_route`, real WP request parsing) goes in the companion plugin's smoke / stress suite.

```bash
vendor/bin/phpunit --filter BetterRouteBridge
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=1G
vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix
wp better-data stress --filter BridgeRoute
```

## Critical rules

- **Method-name duck typing.** The bridge talks to `Router` / `RouteBuilder` by method name; don't add a hard Composer dependency on `better-route/better-route`. Better-data must install standalone.

Preserve the core workflow, adapt paths to this repo, and keep the rule scoped to tasks where it is relevant. Skill purpose: Compose better-data DTOs with the better-route library — use BetterRouteBridge::{get, post, put, patch, delete} to register a REST route that hydrates the request into a DTO, validates, calls the handler with (DataObject, mixed $request), and presents returned DataObject values through Presenter with PresentationContext::rest().
