+## [0.9.0] — 2026-03-15
+
+### Added
+
+**GraphQL API Layer** ([Discussion #13](https://github.com/byte5digital/numen/discussions/13))
+
+Full-featured GraphQL API powered by Lighthouse PHP, covering all Numen resources with real-time subscriptions, persisted queries, and fine-grained complexity controls.
+
+**Features:**
+- **Lighthouse PHP** — production-grade GraphQL server with SDL-first schema definition
+- **20+ GraphQL types** — Content, Space, Brief, PipelineRun, PipelineStage, MediaAsset, MediaFolder, MediaCollection, User, Role, Permission, Tag, Persona, RepurposedContent, FormatTemplate, ContentRevision, Setting, AuditLog, and more
+- **Cursor pagination** — Relay-spec connection types on all list fields (edges/node/pageInfo)
+- **Mutations** — createBrief, createContent, updateContent, publishContent, unpublishContent, deleteContent, triggerPipeline, uploadMedia, deleteMedia, and more
+- **Real-time subscriptions** — contentUpdated, contentPublished, pipelineStageCompleted via WebSocket (Pusher in production, log driver in dev)
+- **Automatic Persisted Queries (APQ)** — SHA256 hash-based query caching to reduce bandwidth
+- **Complexity scoring** — per-field cost weights with configurable max (GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY=500)
+- **Depth limiting** — configurable max nesting depth (GRAPHQL_MAX_DEPTH=10)
+- **N+1 prevention** — Dataloader batching via Lighthouse's built-in batch loading
+- **Field-level caching** — @cache directive with automatic invalidation on model events
+- **Auth directives** — @auth, @can, @guest guards on fields and mutations
+- **GraphiQL explorer** — interactive IDE at /graphiql (dev only)
+- **22 tests** — feature and unit test coverage for all major operations
+
+**Endpoint:**

+# GraphQL API — Numen
+
+> **Endpoint:** `POST /graphql`
+> **Explorer (dev):** `GET /graphiql`
+
+Numen ships a full GraphQL API powered by [Lighthouse PHP](https://lighthouse-php.com/). It covers all content, space, media, pipeline, and subscription operations.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Get an API Token
+
+```bash
+POST /v1/auth/login
+{ "email": "...", "password": "..." }
+# Response: { "token": "1|abc..." }
+```
+
+### 2. Set the Authorization Header
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <token>
+Content-Type: application/json
+```
+
+### 3. Send Your First Query
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://your-numen.app/graphql \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer 1|abc..." \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "{ me { id name email } }"}'
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+Numen uses **Laravel Sanctum** tokens. Pass your token in the `Authorization` header on every request:
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer 1|your-token-here
+```
+
+Tokens created via the REST `/v1/auth/login` endpoint work here too.
+
+## Example Queries
+
+### Current User
+
+```graphql
+query Me {
+  me {
+    id
+    name
+    email
+    roles {
+      name
+      spaceId
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Content by Slug
+
+```graphql
+query ContentBySlug($slug: String!, $spaceId: ID!) {
+  contentBySlug(slug: $slug, spaceId: $spaceId) {
+    id
+    title
+    slug
+    body
+    status
+    seoTitle
+    seoDescription
+    publishedAt
+    space {
+      id
+      name
+    }
+    tags {
+      name
+    }
+    mediaAssets {
+      id
+      url
+      altText
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Content List with Cursor Pagination
+
+```graphql
+query Contents($spaceId: ID!, $after: String, $first: Int) {
+  contents(
+    spaceId: $spaceId
+    first: $first
+    after: $after
+    orderBy: [{ column: PUBLISHED_AT, order: DESC }]
+  ) {
+    edges {
+      cursor
+      node {
+        id
+        title
+        slug
+        status
+        publishedAt
+      }
+    }
+    pageInfo {
+      hasNextPage
+      endCursor
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Spaces
+
+```graphql
+query Spaces {
+  spaces {
+    id
+    name
+    slug
+    description
+    contentsCount
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Example Mutations
+
+### Create a Brief (triggers pipeline)
+
+```graphql
+mutation CreateBrief($input: CreateBriefInput!) {
+  createBrief(input: $input) {
+    id
+    topic
+    status
+    content {
+      id
+      title
+      status
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Variables:
+```json
+{
+  "input": {
+    "spaceId": "01HX...",
+    "topic": "How to use GraphQL in Laravel",
+    "targetAudience": "PHP developers",
+    "tone": "professional",
+    "wordCount": 1200,
+    "keywords": ["graphql", "laravel"],
+    "autoPublish": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Create Content Directly
+
+```graphql
+mutation CreateContent($input: CreateContentInput!) {
+  createContent(input: $input) {
+    id
+    title
+    slug
+    status
+    createdAt
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Publish Content
+
+```graphql
+mutation PublishContent($id: ID!) {
+  publishContent(id: $id) {
+    id
+    status
+    publishedAt
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Trigger Pipeline Run
+
+```graphql
+mutation TriggerPipeline($contentId: ID!, $pipelineId: ID) {
+  triggerPipeline(contentId: $contentId, pipelineId: $pipelineId) {
+    id
+    status
+    startedAt
+    stages {
+      name
+      status
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Subscriptions
+
+Numen supports real-time updates via GraphQL subscriptions (WebSocket).
+
+### Content Updated
+
+```graphql
+subscription OnContentUpdated($spaceId: ID!) {
+  contentUpdated(spaceId: $spaceId) {
+    id
+    title
+    status
+    updatedAt
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pipeline Stage Completed
+
+```graphql
+subscription OnPipelineProgress($contentId: ID!) {
+  pipelineStageCompleted(contentId: $contentId) {
+    pipelineRunId
+    stageName
+    status
+    output
+    completedAt
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### JavaScript Setup
+
+```javascript
+import { createClient } from 'graphql-ws';
+
+const client = createClient({
+  url: 'wss://your-numen.app/graphql',
+  connectionParams: {
+    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
+  },
+});
+
+client.subscribe(
+  { query: `subscription { contentPublished(spaceId: "01HX...") { id title slug publishedAt } }` },
+  { next: (data) => console.log('Published:', data), error: console.error }
+);
+```
+
+## Cursor Pagination
+
+All list fields use cursor-based pagination (Relay-spec):
+
+```graphql
+query {
+  contents(spaceId: "01HX...", first: 20, after: "eyJpZCI6MTAwfQ") {
+    edges {
+      cursor
+      node { id title }
+    }
+    pageInfo {
+      hasNextPage
+      endCursor
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Pass `endCursor` as `after` in the next request to get the next page.
+
+## Complexity and Depth Limits
+
+| Limit | Default | Env var |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| Max complexity score | 500 | `GRAPHQL_MAX_COMPLEXITY` |
+| Max query depth | 10 | `GRAPHQL_MAX_DEPTH` |
+
+Queries exceeding these limits receive a `422` response.
+
+## Caching
+
+Frequently-read queries (published content by slug) are cached via the `@cache` directive. Default TTL is 300 seconds. Cache is automatically invalidated on content update/publish.
+
+## Persisted Queries (APQ)
+
+Numen supports Automatic Persisted Queries to reduce bandwidth. Compatible with Apollo Client out of the box.
+
+## GraphiQL Explorer
+
+In local development, an interactive GraphQL IDE is available at:
+
+```
+http://localhost:8000/graphiql
+```
+
+Set your auth token via the **Headers** tab:
+```json
+{ "Authorization": "Bearer 1|your-token" }
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```json
+{
+  "errors": [{
+    "message": "Unauthenticated.",
+    "extensions": { "category": "authentication" }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+| Category | HTTP Status | Meaning |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `authentication` | 401 | Missing or invalid token |
+| `authorization` | 403 | Insufficient permissions |
+| `validation` | 422 | Invalid input |
+| `not_found` | 404 | Resource not found |
+
+## Apollo Client Integration
+
+```javascript
+import { ApolloClient, InMemoryCache, createHttpLink } from '@apollo/client';
+import { setContext } from '@apollo/client/link/context';
+
+const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => ({
+  headers: { ...headers, authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem('numen_token')}` },
+}));
+
+const client = new ApolloClient({
+  link: authLink.concat(createHttpLink({ uri: 'https://your-numen.app/graphql' })),
+  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
+});
+```
