Problem

Concurrent token refresh and /auth/me identity resolution could expose stale user or organisation authority, and authenticated 401 retries could cross session changes.

Change

  • Add guarded resolveSession() state machine with refresh and identity deduplication, generation guards, strict /auth/me validation, and caller-local abort handling.
  • Add session continuity capture/check helpers and fail-closed authenticated transport behavior.
  • Replay one 401 request only when refreshed authority matches original validated user and organisation.
  • Preserve credentials through transient authority outages while clearing public authority getters.
  • Share current-token identity resolution through AuthApi.getMe; keep explicit foreign-token reads isolated.
  • Document session resolution and retry contract.

Validation

  • npm run typecheck (Node 24.16.0)
  • npm test — 136/136 passed (Node 24.16.0)
  • npm run build (Node 24.16.0)
  • npx publint (Node 24.16.0)
  • git diff --check

Node 26.8.1 exposes an unchanged happy-dom/Vitest localStorage incompatibility in login-form-dev-bypass.test.tsx; supported Node 24 gate passes.

Refs CEL-1782.


Summary by cubic

Fixes CEL-1782 by guarding session resolution so token refresh and /auth/me identity reads settle atomically, eliminating stale user/org authority and tenant-crossing 401 retries. Authenticated requests now fail closed when identity is unavailable, and a 401 is replayed only when refreshed authority matches the original validated user and organisation.

  • Adds resolveSession() with one refresh and one identity flight per token generation, generation guards, strict /auth/me validation, and caller-local abort handling.
  • Publishes resolving before credential or authority mutation and ready before legacy token and org events.
  • Preserves credentials through transient authority outages while public authority getters fail closed; confirmed revocation clears only the current generation.
  • Routes current-token AuthApi.getMe through shared resolution; explicit foreign-token reads stay isolated without refresh, and explicit session adoption is reserved rather than implemented.
  • Centralizes 401 replay authority in captureSessionContinuity, resolveSessionForReplay, and canReplaySession so transports share one concurrency contract; a decision record documents the approach.
  • Sends the bearer token explicitly on AuthApi.logout so it bypasses replay guards.
  • Legacy stores without resolveSession now clear the token on 401 instead of retrying blindly.
  • Requires HTTPS for package-owned requests; automatic HTTP remains only for exact loopback hosts, and unsafe URLs, encoded path boundaries, and redirects fail before credentials leave the configured origin.

Migration

  • AuthUser.userType now permits null; callers comparing user types must handle null.
  • verifyOtp(...).user is the validated sparse VerifyOtpUser; resolve the session before requiring full profile fields.
  • resolveSession and onSessionStateChange are optional on AuthStore and guaranteed on ConcreteAuthStore, keeping custom stores source-compatible.

Written for commit 683a6ca. Summary will update on new commits.

CodeRabbit review disposition

  • Sparse OTP user type fixed with exported VerifyOtpUser; full /auth/me validation remains strict.
  • Refresh and identity flights now use configurable finite timeout covering fetch and JSON parsing.
  • HTTPS transport enforcement deferred: insecure baseUrl handling predates this change and needs separate configuration/redirect compatibility design across existing localhost consumers.

Security/state audit evidence

  • Refresh/identity singleflight: refresh flight installs before synchronous resolving publication; refresh advances generation before transport; non-refresh callers join active refresh; prior identity commits become superseded. src/auth-store.ts:372-548.
  • State/credential synchrony: refresh adoption publishes resolving(nextToken) immediately after credential mutation and checks generation/token before timer and identity work. Resolving and unavailable states expose null authority getters. src/auth-store.ts:499-524, 538-548, 719-725.
  • Reentrancy/event order: queued state delivery stops stale fanout after nested transitions. Access-token, org-change, and logout callbacks stop after generation/token replacement. Ready order remains identity commit, ready state, token event, actual org event. src/auth-store.ts:101-164, 250-329, 591-598.
  • Logout resurrection: clear invalidates both flights and timers; stale refresh/identity completion cannot restore credentials. Reentrant replacement converts stale clear result to superseded and suppresses remaining logout listeners. src/auth-store.ts:250-273, 331-369, 478-535.
  • Continuity: same-token raw account/org mismatch cannot become authority. Org change forces fresh credential; refreshed account change clears current generation. Transient identity failure retains private baseline and credential while public authority stays unavailable. src/auth-store.ts:331-369, 409-442.
  • Replay isolation: resolveSessionForReplay never refreshes replacement credential. Ready replacement may replay only after user/org continuity; final synchronous canReplaySession check precedes retry transport. Resolving/unavailable state blocks capture and replay. src/session-continuity.ts:8-135, src/auth-client.ts:88-155.
  • Caller abort: signal ends caller wait as superseded; shared adoption continues. src/auth-store.ts:551-565.
  • Bounded failure: store-owned timeout covers fetch plus JSON body consumption for refresh and identity. Timeout maps to unavailable and releases shared flight for retry. src/auth-store.ts:185-248.
  • Explicit getMe: explicit token bypasses resolver/refresh, validates full profile, and rejects token replacement before return. Tokenless current-session call uses guarded resolver. src/auth-api.ts:78-121.
  • OTP compatibility: verify path accepts sparse inline projection without full /auth/me createdAt requirement. phone remains optional; portal-relevant userType permits null. src/types.ts:31-46, src/auth-api.ts:40-64.
  • Legacy store compatibility: resolver and state snapshot remain optional on broad AuthStore. No-resolver 401 path preserves prior clear/auth-failure behavior while guarding replacement session. src/types.ts:178-270, src/auth-client.ts:90-108.

Earlier candidate disposition

Five findings reported against caac315844e84494ef827c31108aa3d6ab1de989 are resolved in final target:

  1. Reentrant duplicate refresh: flight installed before callback publication.
  2. Refresh/identity overlap: refresh generation invalidates prior identity; all callers join refresh.
  3. Stale unauthorized/logout after replacement login: post-callback guards return superseded and stop fanout.
  4. Hung fetch/body: internal full-response timeout releases flight.
  5. Unavailable legacy token event: unavailable publishes session state without token-set event.

Verdict

APPROVE. P0: 0. P1: 0. P2: 0. P3: 0.

Transport and security

CEL-1782 transport/security review

Target: 78ed72e6c8725a32a674ef44336639baa3dbbcea
Base: origin/main (9d56adc82b82cba6f8cdfa02c8abfad523ed3e97)
Scope: authenticated initial send, 401 refresh/replay, getMe, logout, sparse OTP/custom-store compatibility.

Verdict

P0: 0. P1: 0. P2: 0. P3: 0. APPROVE.

All five findings against initial candidate caac315 are resolved:

  • Initial transport requires atomic current ready authority. Resolving observer cannot send stale authenticated request.
  • Replay requires captured and current ready token/user/org continuity. Same-token unavailable/resolving returns 503; replacement returns 409.
  • Explicit getMe(token) uses direct skipAuth transport without implicit refresh and rejects token replacement after response. Tokenless getMe() retains refresh-cookie bootstrap.
  • Stale A 401 cannot refresh, revoke, or notify auth failure for installed B. Same-principal rotated token can replay without another refresh.
  • resolveSessionForReplay() centralizes consumer-safe retry resolution and is exported.

Additional exact-head checks:

  • Refreshed token adoption publishes resolving(nextToken) before identity transport. Post-publication generation/token guard blocks stale timer and identity work after reentrant replacement/logout.
  • Logout callbacks stop after listener installs replacement session.
  • Refresh and identity fetch plus response-body parsing share bounded timeout.
  • Full profile validation rejects malformed authority while preserving sparse OTP response compatibility.
  • Broad AuthStore keeps resolveSession and getSessionState optional. Concrete store requires both. Legacy no-resolver stores preserve 401 clear/auth-failure behavior while protecting replacement sessions.

Evidence

  • Exact commit inspected: 78ed72e6c8725a32a674ef44336639baa3dbbcea.
  • Final delta matches pre-gate reviewed source and regressions.
  • Root/owner gate: Node 24 typecheck; 136/136 tests; build; publint; git diff --check passed.
  • Source tree clean; only untracked .claude/artifacts/ evidence remains.
  • No heavy checks rerun by reviewer due shared compiler-slot policy.

Publish this breaking API change as 0.15.0 and add migration notes.

verifyOtp() now returns the sparse VerifyOtpUser, so consumers that read createdAt or entitlements, or assign the result to AuthUser, can fail compilation. AuthUser.userType also now permits null and "distributor", which can break consumers assigning it to UserType. The sparse runtime shape is intentional; use authApi.getMe(result.accessToken) or store getters for the full profile instead of restoring the AuthUser cast. package.json remains at 0.14.0, and CHANGELOG.md does not document these migrations.

Linked issue: CEL-1782: Auth: resolve session identity atomically and prevent tenant-crossing retries

Status Acceptance criteria Notes
Resolve token and validated identity atomically with shared refresh/identity deduplication and generation guards. The PR adds a guarded resolveSession state machine, one refresh and identity flight per generation, and generation protections.
Preserve credentials during unavailable or malformed authority responses while failing closed for authority-dependent consumers; clear only on confirmed current-generation revocation. The PR description explicitly states that transient outages preserve credentials while public authority getters fail closed, and the store test changes cover confirmed revocation.
Prevent authenticated 401 replay across user or organisation changes, and allow replay only after validated authority continuity. Replay is centralized through continuity capture, resolution, and final comparison helpers, and the client rejects replay when authority is unavailable or changes.
Keep current-token identity resolution shared while explicit foreign-token getMe reads remain isolated and do not implicitly refresh. The PR explicitly describes routing current-token getMe through shared resolution while retaining isolated explicit-token reads.
⚠️ Provide meaningful verification for concurrency, superseded sessions, authority failures, membership changes, and tenant-crossing retry cases. The PR adds substantial session-resolution and auth-client tests and reports 136 passing tests, but the provided diff excerpt does not independently demonstrate every verification scenario listed in the issue.

Transport/release review disposition

  • CodeRabbit cleartext transport finding: fixed in 4329331036460c119705f104c1836f618bff8487. One request builder now governs client initial/retry traffic and store identity/refresh/dev-login traffic. HTTPS required; HTTP accepted only for exact parsed loopback hosts localhost, 127.0.0.1, and [::1].
  • Redirect/base-path coverage: fixed in same commit. Actual request URL must remain inside configured origin/base path. Invalid URLs, userinfo, unsafe schemes, non-loopback HTTP, and path escapes fail before fetch. redirect: "error" overrides caller init for every send, including retry.
  • Compatibility: devLogin() still resolves a network failure instead of rejecting. Session identity, continuity, refresh timeout, and explicit-token getMe behavior remain intact.
  • Release metadata: registry check showed versions through 0.14.0; package and lockfile advanced to unused 0.15.0. Changelog documents sparse VerifyOtpUser versus full AuthUser, nullable/distributor userType, session APIs, and transport migration.
  • Validation on Node v24.16.0: typecheck passed; 151/151 tests passed; build passed; publint passed; packed ESM type gate passed. Package tarball SHA-256: 2c68314041384c00fe0cc63703cfcec35bf94f51e69dee861dc78def66735470.

Follow-up security/state review disposition

  • Encoded base-path escape P2: fixed in b93a9e8fb61024baabbaf9f98030ac2f330e87ca. Parsed base and final pathnames reject case-insensitive %2f, %5c, and %25; query encoding and Unicode path encoding remain accepted. Traversal cases fail before fetch.
  • Explicit-token adoption P1: fixed in d3cad5a15f752d48ce482bd8d48fb7914661f78f. Adoption reserves generation + shared flight before resolving; observer refresh joins it. Nested newer login/logout still supersede it; terminal outcomes settle flight without stale events or deadlock.
  • Same-token outage P2: fixed in d3cad5a. Unavailable result remains unavailable when same-token revalidation has already entered resolving, yielding 503 instead of 409.
  • Replayed resource 401 P2: declined. Generic endpoint 401 after validated refresh does not prove global session revocation; resource authorization may differ. Client returns retry response, keeps current session, invokes no auth-failure callback, and sends no third request. Regression added.

Node v24.16.0: 167/167 tests, typecheck, build, publint passed. Packed @cellarnode/auth@0.15.0 SHA-256: 63d6a8cf0e9f330579bea6b4db70c2dfa21dcd67d31234427adb39a1e75f346f.

CodeRabbit review disposition at 683a6ca

  • Unchecked sparse OTP user: fixed. parseVerifyOtpUser shares required-field validation with parseAuthUser, accepts sparse/null/distributor values, copies roles, strips full-profile extras, and rejects malformed users before setAccessToken with OTP_USER_INVALID. Nine malformed-shape regressions plus valid sparse/copy coverage added.
  • Public type migration: fixed. 0.15.0 changelog now labels VerifyOtpResponse.user narrowing and nullable/distributor AuthUser.userType as breaking changes, including removed createdAt/entitlements guidance.
  • ensureAccessToken fail-closed request: declined. Method remains legacy credential-only compatibility API and may return retained token during transient authority outage. README now forbids using it for authorization readiness and directs consumers to resolveSession() with status === "ready".
  • Replay comment: corrected. Already-ready replacement credentials are reused only after captured user/organisation match; same captured credential enters refresh. No blanket replacement refresh claim.

Node v24.16.0: 177/177 tests, typecheck, build, publint passed. Packed @cellarnode/auth@0.15.0 SHA-256: 932c918e42cfe0c080777c2bdd353ba3b7ff3927f20447d35c556bd53413ab9b.

PR remains draft; CEL-1782 remains In Progress pending root review.

Merge-ready at 683a6ca9e1884e86dbc2dfbf187b47d38b0a940f.

Both independent final reviewers approve with no P0–P3 findings. Tests 177/177, TypeScript, build, publint and current GitHub CI pass. Root verified packed @cellarnode/auth@0.15.0 SHA256 932c918e42cfe0c080777c2bdd353ba3b7ff3927f20447d35c556bd53413ab9b.

Completed CodeRabbit review returned four findings, all dispositioned:

  • Sparse OTP user validation: fixed before token adoption; full /auth/me validation stays strict.
  • Public type migration: explicitly documented as breaking changes, including nullable userType and sparse OTP fields.
  • Retry comment: corrected to distinguish refreshing captured credentials from reusing an already validated replacement.
  • Ready-only ensureAccessToken: declined. Accepted compatibility contract returns retained credentials during authority outage; callers requiring authority use resolveSession. Authority getters fail closed. Consumer migration checks remain in CEL-1786, including two producer lab-report writes now being corrected there.

Earlier explicit-login reentrancy, encoded-path traversal and same-token outage findings are fixed and independently reviewed. Failed-before/passed-after real-store regression recorded. Package source is ready for Marcus's merge; registry publication and consumer release adoption remain separate gates. No publication or deployment performed.

Confidence score: 3/5

  • src/auth-api.ts: with a custom AuthStore lacking resolveSession, getMe() skips the session-change guard on tokenless calls and can return the wrong identity after a session change; the explicit-token path used by handleDevLogin should be covered by the same review — apply the CEL-1782 guard consistently.
  • src/session-continuity.ts: for a compatible custom AuthStore without getSessionState(), the same-user/same-org rotated-credential condition is not met, so eligible credentials won't get the one safe replay CEL-1782 allows — add a fallback so rotated credentials are recognized.
  • src/auth-store.ts: confirmed session revocation resets the store to unauthorized and emits onAccessTokenSet(null) without firing onLogout, so logout listeners miss a real logout event — fire onLogout on revocation.
  • __tests__/auth-api.test.ts: the test overwrites global fetch with a local mock and never restores it, leaking to every later test in the file; nothing calls global fetch after it today, but future tests could break — restore the original fetch after the test.

Linked issue: CEL-1782: Auth: resolve session identity atomically and prevent tenant-crossing retries

Status Acceptance criteria Notes
Provide a guarded resolveSession flow with refresh and identity deduplication, generation guards, and stale-result protection. The PR adds the session state machine and documents one refresh/identity flight with generation-guarded updates; extensive session-resolution tests cover concurrency and stale-session cases.
Validate full /auth/me identities while preserving credentials and failing closed on transient authority outages. The diff adds centralized AuthUser validation, distinguishes sparse OTP users, and implements unavailable versus revocation handling in the store.
Prevent 401 replay across user or organisation changes, while allowing replay only for matching validated authority. Replay continuity is captured before transport and checked after resolution against token, user, and organisation; transport tests cover guarded replay behavior.
⚠️ Share current-token identity resolution through the auth API while keeping explicit foreign-token reads isolated and avoiding implicit refresh. The PR description and auth API/client changes claim this separation, but the provided diff excerpts do not fully demonstrate all explicit-token and no-refresh paths.
Maintain compatibility for broad AuthStore consumers while exposing the required capability on the concrete store. The types add optional session capabilities to AuthStore and a concrete-store contract, with corresponding exported types and documentation.

P2: Confirmed session revocation (401/403 from /auth/refresh or /auth/me) resets the store to unauthorized and emits onAccessTokenSet(null) but never onLogout.

Consumers subscribed solely to onLogout will not clean up on a server-revoked session. Emit the logout notification from the revocation paths (with the same generation guard) so all session-ending transitions share the canonical signal.
