wxyc-fastapi 0.1.0

Shared FastAPI service primitives for WXYC: Sentry init, request telemetry, cache-stats recorder, PostHog wrapper

wxyc-fastapi

Shared FastAPI service template for WXYC's Python services. Consolidates the duplicated service scaffolding currently forked across library-metadata-lookup (LML), request-o-matic (rom), and semantic-index into a single package, eliminates measurable drift between the three forks, and gives the next FastAPI service a template to inherit instead of fork.

Status: scaffolding. The implementation plan is at WXYC/wiki/plans/wxyc-fastapi. The rollout is tracked in the org-level project board wxyc-fastapi rollout and traces back to P1 of the 2026-05-10 cross-repo contract audit (WXYC/wiki#51).

Cross-language consolidation (codegen and healthcheck response shape) lives in wxyc-shared instead. See the plan's §2.4 for what lives where and why.
