+**Repository type:** connector (protocol).
+<!-- govoplan-repository-type:end -->
+
+`govoplan-rest` provides the GovOPlaN REST connector surface. It is intended to
+expose selected module functions through governed HTTP endpoints without forcing
+business modules to import each other directly.
+
+The module starts with a small provider contract and discovery endpoint. Domain
+modules will later register REST-exposable functions through the connector
+contract; the connector owns HTTP binding, policy checks, serialization, and
+operational diagnostics for that surface.
+
+## Ownership
+
+This repository owns:
+
+- backend module manifest `rest`
+- REST connector route contributions
+- REST function publication DTOs and provider protocol
+- future REST endpoint policy, throttling, and public/credentialed access rules
+
+It does not own business semantics. Modules that expose functions remain
+responsible for validation, authorization facts, and side effects.
