 | `router` | imperative `http.server` mounts (resolve the service from the plugin context and mount on `kernel:ready`) + declarative `apis:` since #5040. ⚠️ **Correction (#4936, 2026-08-04):** this row originally also credited app-authored declarative `apis:` as "executed by `handleApiEndpoint`". That was never true — no route was mounted for a declared path and `matchEndpoint` had no implementation anywhere, so the branch was dead code; it has been deleted and a non-empty `apis:` is now rejected at publish/validate. The retirement decision for the `router` KIND is unaffected; the endpoint executor is being built under #5040, after which declarative `apis:` becomes a real delivered form. ⚠️ **Correction (2026-08-22 ruling):** this row also credited plugin manifest `contributes.routes` (HttpDispatcher prefix routing) as a delivered form. That was never true either — the key has zero readers monorepo-wide, so an entry parses cleanly and serves nothing. The key is being removed and every author-facing material that recommended it is corrected to point at the imperative mount; the delivered forms are the two now named above, and the `router` KIND's retirement is unaffected. |

That was never true — the #10627 census measured zero readers of the key monorepo-wide, so a function declared there was never registered; the key is retired with the other dead `contributes` members (#10724), and `defineStack({ functions })` remains the one way in, as the paragraph below already records.

 Their registry entries had `allowRuntimeCreate: false`, no overlay, no loader — a kind whose every governance flag is "no" is declaring it does not belong in the registry. Studio visibility into registered routes/functions/services, if wanted, is **runtime introspection** (a read-only endpoint), not metadata. The dormant objectql load path that registered QL functions from `type: 'function'` metadata items (nothing ever produced them) is removed with this ADR; `defineStack({ functions })` remains the one way in.
