Every stored-query object carried the same list of parameter names
twice, as both "params" and "parameters". Output objects now carry only
"parameters", consistent with /-/query/parameters and the two analyze
endpoints (and distinct from the "params" bound-values dictionary used
by the query extra and /-/execute-write). "params" remains an accepted
input alias for query creation, update and datasette.yaml config.

Invalid dstok_ tokens - bad signature, malformed payload, expired, or
presented while allow_signed_tokens is off - previously degraded the
request to anonymous, so clients saw a 403 permission error or worse,
a 200 with anonymous-visible data. Token handlers can now raise
TokenInvalid for tokens they recognize but reject; Datasette responds
with 401, the canonical JSON error body and a WWW-Authenticate: Bearer
error="invalid_token" header, even when a valid cookie is also present.
Bearer tokens no registered handler recognizes are still ignored, so
authentication plugins with their own token formats keep working.
TokenInvalid is exported from the datasette package for use by plugin
token handlers.

POST to a write canned query previously returned HTTP 200 with
{"ok": false, "message": ...} when the SQL failed to execute, so JSON
clients (and anything that trusts HTTP status) recorded success for
failed writes. SQL failures now return 400 with the canonical error
shape plus the "redirect" context key from on_error_redirect; the
QueryWriteRejected 403 branch uses the canonical shape too. Successful
executions and the HTML flash-message flow are unchanged.

The default forbidden() hook previously rendered an HTML error page even
for .json requests. It now returns the canonical JSON error shape with
status 403 when the request path ends in .json or the request sends an
Accept: application/json or Content-Type: application/json header. HTML
requests still get the error page.

/-/databases previously listed every attached database (including
filesystem paths and sizes) to any actor with view-instance, while the
homepage and every other endpoint filtered by view-database. The
endpoint now only lists databases the current actor is allowed to view.
JsonDataView data callbacks may now be async.

/-/actions.json now returns {"ok": true, "actions": [...]} instead of a
bare JSON array, so the response can grow additional keys without a
breaking change. The debug_actions.html template reads data.actions,
and the endpoint is now documented in docs/introspection.rst.

/-/plugins.json now returns {"ok": true, "plugins": [...]} instead of a
bare JSON array, so the response can grow additional keys without a
breaking change. The `datasette plugins` CLI command still outputs a
plain array.

JsonDataView now injects "ok": true into dict responses, covering
/-/versions, /-/settings, /-/config, /-/threads and /-/actor. The
homepage JSON, /-/jump, the three /-/schema endpoints, /-/allowed,
/-/rules, /-/check, POST /-/permissions and the table /-/autocomplete
endpoint set it explicitly.
The remaining top-level array endpoints (/-/plugins, /-/databases,
/-/actions) will be converted to objects in separate commits.

All JSON error responses now use a single format built by the new
datasette.utils.error_body() helper:
{"ok": false, "error": "...", "errors": ["..."], "status": 400}
- error is all messages joined with '; ', errors is the full list,
status always matches the HTTP status code
- The exception handler no longer emits the legacy title key in JSON
(it is still available to the HTML error template)
- The permission debug endpoints (/-/allowed, /-/rules, /-/check,
POST /-/permissions) no longer return bare {"error": ...} objects
- JSON renderer SQL errors keep their rows/truncated context keys but
now include the canonical keys as well
- _shape=object misuse (queries or tables without primary keys) now
returns HTTP 400 instead of 200 with an error body
- Method-not-allowed 405 responses use the canonical shape
Adds tests/test_error_shape.py covering all four previous shape
producers, updates affected tests, and documents the format in a new
'Error responses' section of docs/json_api.rst.
Implements section 1 of stable-api-recommendations.md.

- Add foreignKeyTargetsPath to create table page data
- Filter hidden tables from database-level foreign key target results
- Update JSON API docs and tests for filtered targets
Returns a list of tables with a single primary key, and for each one
the name of that primary key column and its SQLite type affinity.
This will be used by the create table UI to suggest foreign keys.
- Add add_foreign_key, drop_foreign_key, and set_foreign_keys operations.
- Validate flat fk_table and fk_column arguments with Pydantic.
- Document the API and cover inferred primary-key and validation cases.
- Add fk_table and optional fk_column support to create-table columns.
- Validate create-table requests with Pydantic while preserving existing errors.
- Document the API and cover inferred primary-key and validation cases.

- Extract reusable helpers for database and table action permission preloading.
- Precompute those permissions before building table-page HTML data.
- Document the default table actions plugin.
- Add POST /<database>/<table>/-/alter with Pydantic validation and dry-run support.
- Support add, rename, alter, drop, primary-key and reorder operations, including allow-listed default expressions.
