## Context The existing repository now includes core database infrastructure and user models, but authentication is not implemented yet. The target behavior is defined by `openspec/specs/auth-oauth/spec.md` and refined through approved decisions: Authentik OIDC as the identity provider, strict production cookies, internal JWT access tokens, and server-side refresh token storage with revocation. The backend is Python-based with async SQLAlchemy and Alembic. This change must integrate with that stack while keeping trust boundaries explicit and supporting predictable local development. ## Goals / Non-Goals **Goals:** - Implement Authentik OAuth2/OIDC login and callback flow. - Validate provider tokens via JWKS before creating local session credentials. - Mint internal short-lived JWT access tokens for API authorization. - Persist hashed opaque refresh tokens in DB with rotation and revocation. - Provide explicit logout that invalidates refresh state and clears cookies. - Enforce environment-aware cookie policy (strict in production, relaxed on localhost). **Non-Goals:** - RBAC policy engine and permission modeling. - Multi-device session management UX. - Additional social identity providers. ## Decisions 1. **Use OIDC code flow + Authentik JWKS validation before local minting** - Rationale: prevents blind trust in token exchange payloads and centralizes signature/claim checks (`iss`, `aud`, `exp`). - Alternative considered: trust exchange response without independent validation. Rejected due to weaker security posture. 2. **Issue internal JWT access tokens instead of forwarding provider access tokens** - Rationale: stable internal contract, decoupled claim shape, simpler downstream authorization. - Alternative considered: pass-through provider tokens. Rejected due to tighter coupling and reduced control over TTL/claims. 3. **Use DB-backed opaque refresh tokens with hash-at-rest + rotation** - Rationale: supports immediate revocation on logout and tighter reuse detection. - Alternative considered: stateless long-lived JWT refresh tokens. Rejected because revocation and replay handling are weaker. 4. **Environment-aware cookie policy with secure defaults** - Production: `Secure=true`, `SameSite=strict`, `HttpOnly=true`. - Local dev: `Secure=false`, `SameSite=lax`, `HttpOnly=true`. - Rationale: preserves security in production while enabling localhost development without TLS. 5. **Add dedicated refresh token persistence model and migration** - Table fields: `id`, `user_id`, `token_hash`, `expires_at`, `created_at`, `revoked_at`, `user_agent`, `ip_address`. - Indexes: unique `token_hash`, plus `user_id` and `expires_at` indexes. ## Risks / Trade-offs - **[JWKS endpoint/network failures]** -> Cache JWKS keys with bounded TTL and fail closed with `401` on unverifiable tokens. - **[Clock skew affecting token validity]** -> Allow small validation leeway and keep server clock synchronized. - **[Refresh token replay attempts]** -> Rotate per refresh, revoke reused chains, and force re-authentication. - **[Cookie behavior differences across browsers/environments]** -> Centralize cookie option builder and test dev/prod permutations. - **[Added implementation surface area]** -> Keep modules focused (provider client, JWT service, refresh store, routes) and maintain high test coverage. ## Migration Plan 1. Add new refresh token model and Alembic migration. 2. Add configuration for OIDC endpoints/client credentials/JWT secret/cookie mode. 3. Implement auth services (provider exchange + JWKS verification, JWT mint/verify, refresh store). 4. Implement routes: `/auth/login`, `/auth/callback`, `/auth/refresh`, `/auth/logout`, `/auth/me`. 5. Add/expand tests (unit + integration) for auth and token lifecycle. 6. Verify quality gates (`pytest`, `ruff`, `mypy`) and migration status. Rollback: - Revert route/service changes and run Alembic downgrade for refresh-token migration if deployment requires rollback. ## Open Questions - None blocking for initial implementation. - Optional follow-up: enforce single active refresh token per user-agent/device (currently out of scope).
