A bridge that pushes workouts from a watch vendor had no credential that
reached POST /api/workouts/batch: the route called requireAuth() with no
scope, so under the fail-closed default only a cookie session or a
wildcard token got through, and a measurements:write token was refused
403. The route's header still described the pre-fail-closed behaviour.
Add a separate workouts:write scope rather than widening
measurements:write, so a token already handed to a scale does not start
accepting workouts.
- POST /api/tokens/workouts mints it, mirroring the measurement and
document mints: cookie session plus a fresh proof, a literal permission
array, 10 mints a minute, at most 10 live tokens (409
tokens.workouts.ceiling_reached), a one-year default lifetime, audited.
- POST /api/workouts/batch names the scope. Sessions and wildcard tokens
behave as before. A scoped caller's workouts are stored as EXTERNAL,
resolved from the credential, and a batch in which any entry names a
source is refused 422 (workout.batch.source_not_permitted), the same
rule the measurement batch applies. EXTERNAL is on no source ladder, so
when the phone recorded the same session the phone's copy is shown.
- Settings > API offers a workout token card next to the measurement one,
and the endpoint list shows the batch route.
- Guards: the mint site, the declared scope vocabulary, the recent-proof
routes, and a new check that only the batch declares the scope.
- OpenAPI documents the mint, the batch's narrow-token behaviour and both
error codes; docs/api/README.md lists the workout and document mints.

Allowing an AI assistant hands it a standing credential to the record
that outlives the session, the same class of act as minting a token, but
the consent took a live session alone. A stolen session could connect
its own assistant and keep reading after the owner signed everything out.
The consent page now shows the Allow form only when the session signed in
or re-proved within five minutes (with the second factor on an account
that has one). Otherwise it links to a new confirm page that runs the
same re-proof dialog as the rest of the app and returns to the exact
consent request. The allow decision checks again and mints nothing
without it; deny needs no proof. The confirm page only ever returns to
the consent endpoint.
Offering access to the record took a live session alone, and an
invitation outlives the session that sent it: whoever held a stolen
session could invite their own account and keep a way into the record
after the owner signed everything out. POST /api/account/grants now takes
the recent-proof gate at every level (a sign-in or re-proof within five
minutes on the browser, with the second factor on an account that has one;
a step-up elevation on a token, which no shipped client uses here), and
the invite form opens the re-proof dialog and sends again.
Sign out everywhere now withdraws every invitation the account offered
that nobody has accepted. Accepted grants are left standing on purpose:
each is a person the owner chose, often a carer who still needs the
record, and a sign-out button must not quietly cut them off. The response
lists them as grantsKept and the sessions card shows each with a one-click
End access.
GET /api/export with type=all (the default), POST /api/export/health-record
and GET /api/fhir/Patient/$everything hand over the whole record but took a
live session alone, so a stolen browser session could still walk off with
everything the full-backup gate was meant to protect. A browser session now
needs a sign-in or re-proof within five minutes, with the second factor on
an account that has one, and the doctor-report panel opens the re-proof
dialog and retries. When a manager builds the report for a record they
manage, their own session is the one asked.
On a token the shipped app keeps working: health-record and $everything
take the token as before, including a fhir:read token, and the recent-proof
guard names both. GET /api/export?type=all, which no shipped client calls
with a token, wants a step-up elevation there. Single-type exports are
unchanged.
The API reference now also describes the enrollment rule for accounts
with a second factor and the passkey refusal it adds.
Exporting the whole record, making a clinician share link, minting a token,
and the admin backup download, upload and restore, data wipe and password
reset ran on a live session alone. The plaintext full backup did, while the
encrypted one beside it asked for a second factor. Whoever held a stolen
session could take the record, or leave behind a credential that outlives
the session.
These now go through one gate, requireRecentProof (assertRecentCookieProof
for the routes that resolve their caller themselves). A browser session
passes after a sign-in or re-proof within five minutes: a second factor on
an account that has one, otherwise the password or a passkey. The refusal is
401 auth.reproof.required with meta.methods, and the web opens the re-proof
dialog, posts the proof to the new POST /api/auth/reproof and retries. A
password proof stamps the new Session.reproofAt (migration 0359), never
mfaVerifiedAt, so it cannot stand in for a second factor anywhere.
On Bearer, the full backup asks for an X-Step-Up elevation; the encrypted
export asks for a second-factor elevation on an account that has one. Share
links and connector tokens keep taking the token alone, because the shipped
app calls them without an elevation and reads a 401 there as a dead
session; the guard test names them.
Key rotation keeps its stricter second-factor gate.
