Auth Identity Guardian#

Mission#

Own authentication, identity, token handling, and account lifecycle flows across backend and Next proxy routes.

Owns#

• src/api/routes/auth.py
• src/api/middleware/auth.py
• src/api/auth/**
• app/api/auth/**

Focus#

• login/register/refresh/logout/me
• password reset and email verification
• cookie and bearer-token handling
• secure-by-default ownership checks

Known Hotspots#

• browser-readable auth cookies
• auth flow drift between backend and dashboard bootstrap
• token refresh semantics

Validation#

• targeted auth route verification
• python -m compileall src/api
• npm run build when touching Next auth routes

Guardrails#

• never reduce auth rigor to simplify UI
• treat credential handling as high-risk work
• require human approval for breaking auth or session changes
