- authentication-methods: document completeAuth mode param ("redirect"|"json");
clarify add-passkey nudge (no dismiss mechanism, disappears on passkey add)
- journal-auth: session maxAge is 30 days; terms allow-list uses /legal/ prefix
matching (broader than fixed list of paths)
- session-notes: mark awareness isolation and UndoManager isolation as not yet
implemented (shared instances in current code)
- activity-feed: add fan-out scenario for visibility change to public
- explore: note that ?perPage is not yet implemented (hardcoded page size)
- multi-day-routes: add per-day GPX track split scenario (splitByDays option);
document overnight vs isDayBreak naming gap
- osm-poi-overlays: debounce is 800ms + 2000ms min interval (not 500ms);
retry is not automatic (fires on next viewport change)
- brouter-integration: rate limit corrected to 300/hour; add segment-cache
requirement (client caches per-pair segments)
- wahoo-route-push: OAuth state shape uses camelCase (returnTo, pushAfter
object) not snake_case with push_after boolean
- komoot-import: document noop adapter / ConnectedServiceManager bypass;
note four Komoot-specific routes that bypass the generic OAuth framework
- background-jobs: exponential backoff not wired (retryLimit only); add SIGINT
- connected-services: add revoked status; name ConnectionNotActiveError
- infrastructure: add INTEGRATION_SECRET and SENTRY_DSN to env var lists;
split secret decryption scenario by workflow (cd-apps vs cd-infra)
- secret-management: correct CD decryption — cd-apps only decrypts app.env;
cd-infra decrypts both
- transactional-emails: welcome email is async (pg-boss job); magic-link email
includes 6-digit numeric code
- journal-route-detail: websites are https: links (not mailto:); opening_hours
is also displayed
- local-dev-environment: add mobile app (Expo) dev commands

# journal-auth Specification
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
Session management and the terms-of-service consent gate for the Journal app. The credentials a user authenticates with (passkeys, magic links, magic codes) and the registration UX live in `authentication-methods`; OAuth tokens for third-party services (Wahoo etc.) live in `connected-services`. This spec is the cross-cutting layer: cookie sessions, the Terms-version gate that wraps every authenticated request, and the rules for safely returning users to where they came from.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Requirement: Cookie session for signed-in users
|
|
The Journal SHALL identify signed-in users via a server-set HTTP cookie (`__session`) that carries a serialized JSON payload containing `userId`. The cookie SHALL be `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Lax`, signed with the server secret, and have a `maxAge` of **30 days**. Anonymous browsers SHALL render the public surface (anonymous home, public profiles, public routes/activities) without a session cookie present.
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Set cookie on successful authentication
|
|
- **WHEN** any authentication path (passkey finish, magic-link verify, code verify) succeeds
|
|
- **THEN** the response carries a `Set-Cookie: __session=...` header binding the resulting `userId` to the browser
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Anonymous request renders public surface
|
|
- **WHEN** a request arrives without `__session` (or with one that fails to verify)
|
|
- **THEN** loaders treat the request as anonymous; routes that require auth either redirect to `/auth/login` or render the public layout per their own spec
|
|
|
|
### Requirement: Terms acknowledgement at signup
|
|
The registration form SHALL require explicit acknowledgement of the Terms of Service before an account can be created.
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Checkbox required
|
|
- **WHEN** a user views the registration form
|
|
- **THEN** they see a required checkbox labeled "I have read and agree to the Terms of Service, including that trails.cool is in alpha and my data may be reset"
|
|
- **AND** the checkbox label links to the Terms page
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Cannot submit without acknowledgement
|
|
- **WHEN** a user attempts to register without checking the acknowledgement box
|
|
- **THEN** the form blocks submission and shows a validation message
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Acknowledgement recorded
|
|
- **WHEN** a user successfully registers
|
|
- **THEN** the current timestamp is stored in `users.terms_accepted_at`
|
|
- **AND** the version identifier of the Terms the user saw is stored in `users.terms_version`
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Missing version rejected
|
|
- **WHEN** a registration request arrives without a non-empty `termsVersion` field
|
|
- **THEN** the server responds with HTTP 400 and does not create a user
|
|
|
|
### Requirement: Re-accept updated Terms on next visit
|
|
Logged-in users whose stored `terms_version` does not match the currently-published version SHALL be prompted to accept the current Terms before accessing any non-allow-listed page.
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Stale version redirects to accept-terms page
|
|
- **WHEN** a logged-in user whose `users.terms_version` is NULL or differs from the current `TERMS_VERSION` requests any path not in the allow-list
|
|
- **THEN** the server redirects them to `/auth/accept-terms?returnTo=<original path>`
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Allow-list keeps Terms and logout reachable
|
|
- **WHEN** the same user requests any path under `/legal/` (e.g. `/legal/terms`, `/legal/privacy`, `/legal/imprint`), `/auth/accept-terms`, or `/auth/logout`
|
|
- **THEN** the request is served normally without being redirected
|
|
|
|
Note: the allow-list uses prefix matching (`/legal/` prefix covers all current and future legal pages); it is not a fixed list of individual paths.
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Successful re-acceptance updates both fields
|
|
- **WHEN** a user submits the acceptance form with the required checkbox ticked
|
|
- **THEN** the server updates `users.terms_version` to the current version and `users.terms_accepted_at` to the current timestamp, then redirects to the `returnTo` path (or `/`)
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Re-acceptance rejects missing consent
|
|
- **WHEN** the form is submitted without the checkbox ticked
|
|
- **THEN** the server responds with HTTP 400 and does not update the user row
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: returnTo is restricted to same-origin paths
|
|
- **WHEN** a `returnTo` value is not a same-origin absolute path (missing leading `/`, or starting with `//`)
|
|
- **THEN** the server redirects to `/` instead, preventing open-redirect abuse
|
|
|
|
### Requirement: Terms gate applies to bearer-token API requests
|
|
Authenticated API requests carrying an OAuth2 bearer token SHALL be subject to the same Terms-version gate as cookie-session requests. When the authenticated user's stored `terms_version` is NULL or differs from the current `TERMS_VERSION`, the API chokepoint (`requireApiUser`) SHALL reject the request with HTTP 403 and a structured JSON body `{ error, code: "TERMS_OUTDATED", currentTermsVersion: <current> }` instead of returning the resource. Cookie-session web traffic continues to be handled by the root-loader redirect to `/auth/accept-terms`; only the API path uses the structured 403.
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Stale bearer token receives structured 403
|
|
- **WHEN** a request to `/api/v1/*` arrives with a valid bearer token whose user has `terms_version` NULL or different from the current `TERMS_VERSION`
|
|
- **THEN** the server responds with HTTP 403 and JSON `{ error: <message>, code: "TERMS_OUTDATED", currentTermsVersion: <current> }`
|
|
- **AND** the requested resource is not returned
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Up-to-date bearer token is allowed through
|
|
- **WHEN** a request to `/api/v1/*` arrives with a valid bearer token whose user's `terms_version` matches the current `TERMS_VERSION`
|
|
- **THEN** the request proceeds normally
|
|
|
|
#### Scenario: Anonymous API request still 401
|
|
- **WHEN** a request to `/api/v1/*` arrives without a bearer token (or with an invalid one)
|
|
- **THEN** the server responds with HTTP 401 `UNAUTHORIZED` as before — the Terms check only applies after authentication succeeds
