Self-hosters can sign in to the iOS app through their own domain, so the
password manager files credentials under the right site and passkeys run in
the correct origin. The app opens the instance's own web login inside an
ASWebAuthenticationSession; after an interactive login the server mints a
single-use, PKCE-locked handoff code on a compiled-in custom scheme, which the
app exchanges for the standard native token bundle. The token pair never rides
a URL — only the opaque code does.
Three endpoints mirror the OIDC native handoff and share its mint/consume core,
now extracted to native-handoff.ts (the OIDC leg keeps working unchanged, as
the default flow):
- GET /api/auth/native/login validates the PKCE challenge, sets a
short-lived encrypted state cookie, and
redirects to /auth/login?flow=native.
- GET /api/auth/native/complete validates the web session, enforces the
freshness binding, mints the code, and
redirects to healthlog://login-callback.
- POST /api/auth/native/token exchanges the code under the cookie-less
native transport gate for the native bundle.
The freshness binding refuses any session older than the flow start, so a
pre-existing browser session can never silently complete a handoff. The start
time is stamped from the database clock (SELECT now()) to stay comparable to
Session.createdAt with no app/DB skew, and createdAt is read through a
dedicated projection so the comparison cannot be silently dropped. A flow
discriminator on the handoff row (migration 0268) makes an OIDC code
non-redeemable at the web-login route and vice versa.
The callback scheme is a compile-time constant with no redirect_uri parameter,
requireAdmin and requireFreshMfa stay cookie-only, and the exchange mints no
wider scope than password login. The state cookie is AES-256-GCM with a fresh
IV. Adds the flow=native login-page banner in all six locales and the three
routes to the OpenAPI contract.
The contract now names which factors satisfy the fresh-factor routes and which
do not, carries `satisfiesFreshFactor` on the mint response so a client can pick
the ceremony before spending a proof, and describes the options endpoint's two
ceremony kinds. The second-factor status read is documented as plain
authentication — it carries no credential material, so it needs no elevation.
Adds the structural guard that freezes the exact route set an elevation can
unlock, plus the behavioural suite that drives each threat case against a real
Postgres: a token alone mints nothing, an elevation minted for one token is
refused for another (same account included), a second redemption fails, a
concurrent redemption lets exactly one winner through, an expired one is
refused, an elevation never reaches requireAdmin, a wrong password is throttled
and audited without saying what was wrong, and the cookie flow is untouched.
The OpenAPI registry carries both new routes and names the accepting set in
prose, so the client implements against the contract rather than against a
description of it.
Field-by-field comparison of the handlers against the registered Zod
schemas across measurements, workouts, medications, daily and auth. The
spec was corrected to match the handlers; no runtime behaviour changed.
Measurements:
- GET /api/measurements returns `{ measurements, meta: { total, limit,
offset, … } }` on all seven of its modes. The spec claimed a top-level
`total` that no arm has ever emitted.
- The list rows are stored rows minus the notes ciphertext, or synthesised
day-sum / sleep-segment rows, or pre-folded aggregate buckets. The
resource declared seven fields; the rest are now on the wire contract.
- POST accepts a bare ARRAY body (the combined blood-pressure write) and
answers with an array, and returns 409 on the dedup index.
- GET/PUT/DELETE /api/measurements/{id} carried no path entry at all.
Workouts: both GET operations run the module gate and answer 403
`module.disabled`; the reusable block existed but was never spread. The
batch ingest stays deliberately ungated and undocumented for it.
Medications: `nextDueAt` / `nextDueOverdue` are computed by the read paths
and absent from the create/update results, so they cannot be required on
the shared shape (the list row keeps them required). `stockUnitsRemaining`
sums a Decimal(12,4) and is fractional, not an integer. The cadence chips
object documented four fields that do not exist and missed the five that
do. `IntakeSource` admits APPLE_HEALTH.
Auth: the token bundle had its optionality inverted — `user` is always
returned, the token pair only for native callers. Adds the undocumented
403 `oidc_only`, the passkey 403/404, the TOTP enrolment 409s, the
attestation 400, the no-key-registered 409, the security-key 404s, the
refresh `revoke` response shape, and the path/query parameters three
operations read but never declared.
Daily was checked and is accurate; so are the batch ingest, series,
series-batch, bulk-delete, restore and by-external-ids routes.
The web OIDC flow ends in a session cookie the Bearer-transport native
client cannot consume, so on an OIDC_ONLY instance the iOS app had no
sign-in. Add a native leg: the app opens the login URL with
client=native and its own PKCE S256 challenge inside an in-app browser;
the callback resolves identity exactly as before, then mints a one-time
handoff code and 302s to the fixed compiled-in scheme
healthlog://oidc-callback (or hands back the existing MFA ticket when
the account has a second factor). The app exchanges the code plus its
PKCE verifier at POST /api/auth/oidc/native/token for the standard
native token bundle.
The return address is a compile-time constant — no redirect_uri
parameter and no env allowlist, so the open-redirect / scheme-hijack
class is removed by construction. The native flag and app challenge
travel only inside the AES-256-GCM state blob, so a network attacker or
the IdP cannot flip a web login into a native one. The handoff code is
256-bit CSPRNG, HMAC-hashed at rest, 90-second TTL, single-use via a
guarded consume; a failed PKCE check burns it. A replay of a consumed
code revokes exactly the pair the first exchange issued. The token pair
never rides a URL; only the opaque code or the MFA ticket do. The SSO
login can never satisfy requireFreshMfa step-up — the transport is
Bearer and step-up is cookie-only.
Adds the OidcNativeHandoff model (migration 0252), the token-exchange
route, a daily cleanup sweep, and the OpenAPI entry.
From the campaign's dead-code + code-health audits (grep-verified; the
custom-metrics query-key finding was verified-false and excluded):
- sleep-overview empty-state CTA linked to /settings/devices, not a valid
settings slug (dynamicParams=false → 404). Repointed to
/settings/integrations (where every device OAuth callback already lands).
- six live, iOS-consumed routes were absent from docs/api/openapi.yaml —
auth/check-user, insights/cards, integrations/healthkit (GET+PATCH),
measurement-categories, medications/intake/bulk, mood-entries/bulk —
registered in the Zod OpenAPI registry mirroring each handler's real shape.
- mood/labs/medications module pages lacked the redirect-when-off self-guard
their siblings have; added, mirroring cycle/achievements exactly.
No migration. Verifier REJECTED the custom-metrics bare-key finding (they are
invalidateQueries prefix filters, not colliding useQuery keys).
Add an opt-in "remember this device" at the second-factor step. On opt-in
a random token is minted, set in an httpOnly+Secure+SameSite=Strict cookie,
and only its HMAC hash is stored in a new TrustedDevice table. A later sign-in
from the same browser still requires the password (factor 1); a matching,
unexpired trusted device lets the login skip factor 2 only.
The token is never accepted for step-up — a trusted-device login does not stamp
mfaVerifiedAt — so a stolen device cookie cannot reach a destructive action.
Trusted devices are listed and revocable from the security surface, are revoked
wholesale when the second factor is removed or the user signs out everywhere,
and cascade away on account deletion. A recovery-code login never trusts the
browser. Migration 0204 adds the table (and the instance-wide mfa_required
policy column that the enforcement work reads).
Introduce a dedicated /settings/security section that gathers every
account-protection control in one place: TOTP enrolment (QR plus manual
secret, confirm, recovery codes shown once with copy and download),
WebAuthn security keys as a second factor (register, list with last-used,
rename, step-up-gated removal), recovery-code count and regeneration, and
primary passkey management.
The second-factor WebAuthn path keeps its own credential store, separate
from primary passkeys, and uses non-resident keys so an account can hold
many. Relying-party resolution is shared with the passkey path. A status
endpoint backs the hub; the step-up gate now recognises a registered
security key as an active second factor so a WebAuthn-only account can
still reach the gated actions.
Add the user-facing account-security surface in Settings:
- Active sessions (closes#64): GET /api/auth/me/sessions lists each browser
login with a coarse device label, masked IP, resolved location, the sliding
last-active stamp, and the current-session marker. DELETE the collection
signs out everywhere else (keeps the current session, revokes other sessions
and native refresh tokens, leaves API tokens alone); DELETE one revokes a
single session, scoped to the owner so a foreign id 404s.
- A sliding last-active stamp on the session, written throttled and
fire-and-forget off the request-resolution path.
- Security activity: GET /api/auth/me/security-activity, the shared read over
the audit log filtered to sign-ins, second-factor changes, password changes,
session revocations, exports, and deletions, with masked IPs.
OpenAPI regenerated for the new endpoints.
When a password is accepted for an account with a confirmed TOTP factor, the
login route no longer mints a session or token. It creates a single-use,
~5-minute MfaChallenge (the opaque ticket is stored only as a hash) and
returns HTTP 200 with data:null, error:null and meta.mfaRequired + mfaTicket +
methods. The client completes the login at POST /api/auth/mfa/verify with the
ticket + a TOTP or recovery code, receiving the exact same token bundle the
password path issues, with the session stamped second-factor-verified.
- The ticket is claimed once, atomically, only after the factor verifies, so
two concurrent submissions can mint at most one session; no session ever
exists before factor two.
- Wrong codes increment the ticket attempt counter and burn it at the cap
(throttle, not an account lock); the anonymous verify surface is also
rate-limited per IP.
- meta.mfaRequired is returned only after a valid password and the
invalid-credentials response is identical regardless of MFA state, so an
attacker without the password cannot enumerate MFA.
- The session/token tail is extracted to login-response.ts and shared by both
the password path and the verify path, keeping the transport contract
identical. OpenAPI registers the verify endpoint, the MFA management
endpoints, and the mfaRequired login variant.
The five-thousand-line route registry splits into thirteen domain
modules and the query-key factory into twelve feature files — each
behind an index that preserves exact registration order, proven by a
byte-identical generated contract. The factory lint rule learns the new
home directory.
