## Definitions

### `lol.dids.manage.connectSpace`

**Type**: `procedure`

Connect a space so bard reads and publishes the authority's site and tile records from it. Authority only, and the delegation token must be the authority's own. Bard exchanges the token for a credential under its own key, registers for notifications, bootstraps the authority's repo, and records the space. Idempotent.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `space` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | The space, at://{authority}/space/lol.dids.sites.space/{skey}. |
| `delegationToken` | `string` | Yes | A delegation token minted by the authority for this space; spent immediately and never stored. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

#### Errors

- **NotSpaceAuthority**: Only the space's authority may connect it.
- **GrantIssuerMismatch**: The delegation token's issuer is not the calling identity.
- **GrantExpired**: The delegation token is past its lifetime.
- **GrantRefused**: The space host refused the exchange.
- **AppNotAllowed**: The space's app access does not admit bard; the space is recorded and will sync once it does.
- **SpaceQuotaExceeded**: This identity has reached its connected-space limit.
- **SpacesDisabled**: Space support is disabled on this deployment.
