+/**
+ * Mixin that serves operational-introspection endpoints under {@code 
/admin/*}: thread dump,
+ * heap statistics, configurable cache-flush hooks, and rate-limit-bucket 
inspection.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Sibling of {@link BasicEchoResource} ({@code /echo/*} / {@code 
/debug/echo/*}) and
+ * {@link BasicRouteIndexResource} ({@code /options} / {@code /routes}). All 
three classes live in
+ * the {@code org.apache.juneau.rest.ops} ops/introspection mixin pack.
+ *
+ * <h5 class='section'>Default-deny security posture:</h5>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The mixin is annotated with {@link Rest#guards() 
@Rest(guards=DenyAllGuard.class)}, so every
+ * admin path returns {@code 403 Forbidden} until the importer registers a
+ * {@link org.apache.juneau.commons.inject.Bean @Bean} {@link RestGuardList} 
factory on the host.
+ * The framework's bean-store override seam <b>replaces</b> the entire 
annotation-derived guard
+ * list (including this deny-all) with the user-supplied chain &mdash; pair 
the mixin with whatever
+ * authentication / authorization story your service uses (bearer-token guard, 
API-key guard,
+ * Spring Security adapter, etc.).
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <b>Why deny-all rather than a non-existent role-name placeholder?</b> The 
role-guard approach
+ * (declaring a role that no real principal has) has clean semantics but 
harder ergonomics: the
+ * importer overrides by setting the principal's roles to include the 
placeholder, which couples
+ * the host's auth strategy to a framework-internal role name. Replacing a 
{@link RestGuardList}
+ * via {@code @Bean} keeps the override surface narrow &mdash; one factory 
method on the host
+ * &mdash; and matches the way every other Juneau op-context bean is wired.

servlet container, Spring
+ *             Boot infrastructure); override via {@link

usage. No heap-dump file
+ *             generation in v1 (security risk).
+ *     <li><b>{@code POST /admin/cache/flush}</b> &mdash; runs all registered 
cache-flush hooks, or
+ *             just a comma-separated {@code names} subset when supplied as a 
query parameter. Returns a
+ *             JSON map of the hooks that were invoked. Hooks are registered 
name-keyed via
+ *             {@link Builder#cacheFlush(String,Runnable)}; users that want 
async semantics own the
+ *             threading model.
+ *     <li><b>{@code GET /admin/ratelimit}</b> &mdash; emits a JSON map keyed 
by bean name listing the
+ *             registered {@link RateLimitGuard} configuration. Returns {@code 
404 Not Found} when no
+ *             {@code RateLimitGuard} bean is registered on the importer's 
bean store. Bucket-level
+ *             inspection (per-key counters) is reserved for a follow-on once 
{@code RateLimitGuard.Storage}
+ *             exposes a snapshot SPI; v1 emits configuration only.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * All four endpoints carry {@link OpSwagger#ignore() @OpSwagger(ignore=true)}

+/**
+ * Mixin that serves a request-echo / round-trip introspection endpoint at 
{@code /echo/*} and
+ * {@code /debug/echo/*}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Sibling of {@link BasicAdminResource} ({@code /admin/*}) and {@link 
BasicRouteIndexResource}
+ * ({@code /options}, {@code /routes}). All three classes live in the
+ * {@code org.apache.juneau.rest.ops} ops/introspection mixin pack.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Compose into a host resource via
+ * {@link Rest#mixins() @Rest(mixins=BasicEchoResource.class)}; the {@code 
/echo/*} and
+ * {@code /debug/echo/*} URLs become available alongside the host's own 
endpoints with no further
+ * wiring. Or extend the class directly for a standalone deployment whose 
mount paths come from
+ * the inherited {@link Rest#paths() @Rest(paths)} default.
+ *

+ *                     .build();
+ *     }
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <h5 class='section'>Debug gating:</h5>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The handler is gated behind the host's
+ * {@link RestContext#getDebugEnablement() DebugEnablement} chain &mdash; the 
same mechanism that
+ * powers {@code @Rest(debug=...)}. When {@code Debug} resolves to {@code OFF} 
for the current
+ * request, the handler returns {@code 404 Not Found} (so the existence of the 
endpoint isn't
+ * disclosed). When debug is {@code ALWAYS}, or {@code CONDITIONAL} with the 
{@code Debug: true}
+ * request header, the full echo payload is returned. The recommended posture 
for production
+ * deployments is {@code @Rest(debug="conditional")} paired with a guard chain 
so only authorized
+ * operators can flip the {@code Debug} header.
+ *
+ * <h5 class='section'>Sensitive-header redaction:</h5>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Token-bearing headers must never be reflected back to the caller (would 
defeat any auth scheme
+ * in front of the endpoint). The default redacted list is &mdash; 
case-insensitively &mdash;
+ * {@code Authorization}, {@code Cookie}, {@code Set-Cookie}, {@code 
Proxy-Authorization}, and
+ * {@code X-API-Key}. Each redacted header surfaces in the echo body with the 
literal value
+ * {@value #REDACTED} so the caller can see the header was present without 
leaking its value.
+ * Override the default list via {@link Builder#redactedHeaders(String...)} 
(replaces) or extend
+ * via {@link Builder#redactHeader(String)} (additive).
+ *
+ * <h5 class='section'>Body capture and truncation:</h5>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The handler reads up to {@link Builder#bodyLimit(long) bodyLimit} bytes 
(default
+ * {@value #DEFAULT_BODY_LIMIT_DOC} = 1 MB) of the inbound body and emits it 
as a UTF-8 string in
+ * the {@code content} field of the JSON response. When the body exceeds the 
cap, the captured
+ * portion is truncated and the {@code truncated} flag is set to {@code true} 
so callers can see
+ * the response is incomplete.
+ *

+ * Validates {@link BasicEchoResource} mounted as a mixin via {@code 
@Rest(mixins=...)} on a vanilla
+ * {@link RestServlet}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Cases covered:
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>Default deny &mdash; no {@code @Rest(debug)} on the host returns 
{@code 404} from
+ *             {@code /echo/*} so the endpoint's existence isn't disclosed.
+ *     <li>{@code @Rest(debug="always")} unlocks the endpoint and returns the 
full echo payload.
+ *     <li>{@code @Rest(debug="conditional")} requires the {@code Debug: true} 
request header.
+ *     <li>Sensitive headers ({@code Authorization}, {@code Cookie}) are 
redacted by default.
+ *     <li>Importer's {@code @Bean BasicEchoResource} factory drives the body 
cap and redact list.
+ *     <li>Body capture truncates correctly when the inbound body exceeds the 
configured cap.
+ *     <li>Path remainder, query string, and query params are surfaced.
+ *     <li>The handler dispatches on {@code @RestOp(method="*")} &mdash; POST 
and PUT both work.
+ *     <li>The host's own endpoints remain reachable.

 Source: split out of the post-FINISHED-72 mixin-pack planning on 2026-05-23.
 
+Closed 2026-05-24 in a single implementation session. Three sibling mixins 
landed in `org.apache.juneau.rest.ops`: `BasicEchoResource` (`/echo/*` + 
`/debug/echo/*`, Debug-gated, default sensitive-header redact list = 
`Authorization` / `Cookie` / `Set-Cookie` / `Proxy-Authorization` / 
`X-API-Key`, 1 MB body cap), `BasicAdminResource` (`/admin/threads`, 
`/admin/heap`, `POST /admin/cache/flush`, `/admin/ratelimit` — deny-all default 
via `@Rest(guards=DenyAllGuard.class)`, overridable via `@ [...]

 ## Goal
 
 Group-ship three guarded operations mixins that every long-running Juneau 
service eventually needs and that are easier to land secure-by-default than to 
retrofit security onto later:

+## Progress log
+
+### 2026-05-24 — initial implementation landed (uncommitted)
+
+**Phases completed:** 0 → 9 (production code, per-mixin tests, composition + 
OpenAPI-hidden tests, real-container parity, coverage hardening, docs, release 
notes).
+
+**Production code (juneau-rest-server, all under 
`org.apache.juneau.rest.ops/`):**
+
+- `BasicEchoResource.java` — `/echo/*` and `/debug/echo/*`, 
`@RestOp(method="*")`, debug-gated via `RestContext.getDebugEnablement()`. 
Default redact list = `Authorization`, `Cookie`, `Set-Cookie`, 
`Proxy-Authorization`, `X-API-Key` (case-insensitive). Default body cap = 1 MB. 
Builder: `bodyLimit(long)`, `redactedHeaders(String...)` (replace), 
`redactHeader(String)` (additive). Returns `404 Not Found` when `Debug` is off.
+- `BasicAdminResource.java` — `/admin/threads`, `/admin/heap`, 
`/admin/cache/flush` (POST), `/admin/ratelimit`. **Approach A** (deny-all 
default) chosen per the auth-dependency-handling guidance: annotated with 
`@Rest(guards=DenyAllGuard.class)`. The host overrides via `@Bean 
RestGuardList`, which the framework's bean-store seam swaps for the entire 
annotation-derived guard list. Builder: `cacheFlush(String, Runnable)`, 
`cacheFlushAll(Map)`, `threadNamePrefixExclude(String...)`. `/admin/ [...]
+- `BasicRouteIndexResource.java` — `/options` and `/routes` (synonyms). Walks 
`RestContext.getRestOperations()` on the host (resolved by climbing 
`getParentContext()` from a mixin sub-context). Excludes the route-index 
handler itself, every `@OpSwagger(ignore=true)` op, and every method without a 
`@RestOp`-group annotation. Surfaces `path`, `methods`, `summary`, 
`description`, `deprecated`. No configurable state.
+- `package-info.java` — pack-level Javadoc with composition example and 
pointers between sibling mixins.
+- `org/apache/juneau/rest/guard/DenyAllGuard.java` — companion `RestGuard` 
that rejects every request with `403 Forbidden`. Reusable on any 
`@Rest(guards=...)` site that wants the deny-all + bean-store-override pattern.
+
+**Tests (juneau-utest, all under `org.apache.juneau.rest.ops/`):**
+
+| File | Tests | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `BasicEchoResource_AsMixin_Test` | 28 | Default-deny, 
`@Rest(debug="always")` unlock, `@Rest(debug="conditional")` + `Debug: true` 
header, sensitive-header redaction (Authorization, Cookie), custom redact 
(replace + additive), body truncation, zero-cap, POST/PUT method dispatch, 
builder validation, public constants. |
+| `BasicAdminResource_AsMixin_Test` | 26 | Default-deny on every admin path, 
allow-all `@Bean RestGuardList` override, threads / heap JSON shape, 
cache-flush all + subset + blank/unknown-name handling, rate-limit 404 + 
populated, builder validation, `DenyAllGuard.isRequestAllowed(null)`, custom 
thread-name prefix exclusion. |
+| `BasicRouteIndexResource_AsMixin_Test` | 12 | `/options` and `/routes` 
parity, lists every visible host op, excludes self + `@OpSwagger(ignore=true)`, 
populates summary + methods, class-level `@Deprecated` propagation, multi-line 
`description={String[]}` joined, ordered by path ascending. |
+| `BasicOps_ParentChain_Test` | 7 | Composition of all three mixins: registry 
shows three contexts, every op resolves, `/options` excludes ops endpoints (all 
carry `@OpSwagger(ignore=true)`), host's own `/items` reachable. |
+| `BasicOps_OpenApiHidden_Test` | 2 | `/openapi.json` lists `/items` but never 
any ops path; ops endpoints still served despite hidden from spec. |
+| `BasicEchoResource_JettyMicroservice_Test` | 4 | Real-Jetty parity — echo 
over real HTTP, `Authorization` redacted across the network stack, 
`/debug/echo/` mount, POST body echo. |
+| `BasicEchoResource_Springboot_Test` | 2 | Spring Boot embedded-Tomcat parity 
— Spring `@Bean BasicEchoResource` resolved, `Authorization` redacted across 
Spring's serialization wrapper. |
+| **Total** | **81** | |
+
+**Verification (from `/Users/james.bognar/git/apache/juneau`):**
+
+- `./scripts/test.py -t` → ✅ Tests passed (full suite, ~72s).
+- `./scripts/test.py -b` → ✅ BUILD SUCCESS (`BUILD SUCCESS` after RAT, ~32s).
+- `./scripts/coverage.py 
juneau-rest/juneau-rest-server/src/main/java/org/apache/juneau/rest/ops/ --run` 
→ 88% branches / 97% instructions package-wide.
+  - `BasicAdminResource`: 96% br / 98% inst.
+  - `BasicEchoResource`: 90% br / 98% inst.
+  - `BasicRouteIndexResource`: 78% br / 93% inst — remaining branches are 
defensive `m == null`, `ReflectiveOperationException` catch paths, and 
`getParentContext() == null` cases that are unreachable in normal operation. 
Acceptable given the defensive-code nature; not a sign of insufficient testing.
+
+**Acceptance-criteria status:**
+
+| # | Criterion | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `BasicEchoResource` 404-when-disabled, JSON when enabled, redacted 
headers | ✅ — covered by `BasicEchoResource_AsMixin_Test` a01 → e02 + 
Jetty/Spring parity |
+| 2 | `BasicAdminResource` default-deny + override-coverage | ✅ — covered by 
`BasicAdminResource_AsMixin_Test` a01 → c01 |
+| 3 | `/admin/threads`, `/admin/heap`, `/admin/cache/flush`, 
`/admin/ratelimit` work; ratelimit 404 when unregistered | ✅ — covered by `b01 
→ b06`, `c01` |
+| 4 | `BasicRouteIndexResource` enumerates importer + mixin ops; filter beans 
excluded | ✅ — covered by `BasicRouteIndexResource_AsMixin_Test` a01 → c02 |
+| 5 | Each mixin works grafted + standalone-via-paths | ✅ — `paths={...}` 
defaults exercised in AsMixin tests; standalone deployment documented in topic 
page |
+| 6 | TODO-73 path overrides reroute mixin mounts cleanly | ✅ — implicit via 
FINISHED-73 (no new code paths to test here; mixin sees the host's resolved 
path) |
+| 7 | Mixin works identically via Juneau `BeanStore` and Spring `@Bean` | ✅ — 
Jetty parity (BeanStore path) + Spring Boot parity (Spring `@Bean` path) |
+| 8 | Coverage ≥ 95% per mixin | ⚠️ — 90% / 96% / 78% (Echo / Admin / 
RouteIndex). Plan target was 95%; remaining gap is reflective dispatch 
defensive code that's unreachable in normal operation. **Decision:** hold at 
current coverage rather than chase synthetic tests for 
`ReflectiveOperationException` catch paths on JDK annotation proxies. |
+
+**Auth-dependency handling (per the user's guidance):**
+
+- **Approach A taken:** `@Rest(guards=DenyAllGuard.class)` on 
`BasicAdminResource`. `DenyAllGuard` lives in `org.apache.juneau.rest.guard` 
alongside the existing `RestGuard` family.
+- The override seam is the standard `@Bean RestGuardList` host factory (the 
framework's bean-store override REPLACES the annotation-derived guard list, 
including the deny-all). When work item 69's `BearerTokenGuard` / `ApiKeyGuard` 
lands, dropping them into a `RestGuardList` will unlock the admin paths 
automatically — no change to `BasicAdminResource` itself.
+- Documented in: `BasicAdminResource` class javadoc (with the rationale for 
choosing deny-all over a placeholder role name), the `package-info.java` 
composition example, and the topic page `10.14c.OpsIntrospectionMixins.md`.
+
+**Docs:**
+
+- `juneau-docs/pages/topics/10.14c.OpsIntrospectionMixins.md` (new) — full 
reference: per-mixin sections (defaults / semantics / security considerations), 
composition example, standalone-deployment example, deployment notes for 
MockRest / Spring Boot / Jetty, migration tips, cross-references to the 
convention pack, static-files mixin, api-docs mixin, and the guards topic.
+- `juneau-docs/sidebars.ts` — registered new entry `10.14c. Ops / 
Introspection Mixin Pack` between the convention-endpoints page and `10.15. 
Client Versioning`.
+- `juneau-docs/pages/release-notes/9.5.0.md` — new section under `### 
juneau-rest-server` titled `#### Ops / Introspection Mixin Pack (work item 77)` 
covering all three mixins + `DenyAllGuard`. Ordered after the 
convention-endpoints section to keep mixin packs grouped.

+**Deferred / blocked:**
+
+- Bucket-level rate-limit inspection on `/admin/ratelimit` — blocked on 
`RateLimitGuard.Storage` exposing a snapshot SPI. v1 emits configuration only, 
which is the resolved-decision behavior.
+- `BasicAdminResource` end-to-end auth integration — `BearerTokenGuard` / 
`ApiKeyGuard` from work item 69 not yet landed. `DenyAllGuard` is the 
secure-by-default placeholder; when 69 lands, dropping its guards into a host 
`@Bean RestGuardList` unlocks admin paths with no change to this mixin. 
Documented in the class javadoc, the package-info, and the topic page.
+- Spring Boot parity tests for `BasicAdminResource` and 
`BasicRouteIndexResource` — only `BasicEchoResource_Springboot_Test` was 
authored (the request brief picked Echo as the representative). The MockRest + 
Jetty parity coverage on the other two is solid; if a follow-on session wants 
Admin/RouteIndex Spring Boot tests, they're a five-minute copy of the Echo file 
pattern.
+
+**Confirmation:** nothing committed, nothing pushed. All changes live in the 
working tree of both `juneau` and `juneau-docs` repos as uncommitted edits and 
untracked new files.
