Marc-André Bombeck 4e182862c5 Let a passkey satisfy the passkey-removal step-up
The gate landed with a softer mode for accounts holding no second factor,
on the premise that they could not clear it. That premise was wrong. A
passkey is a possession factor here and the codebase already says so in
three places: a primary passkey login stamps Session.mfaVerifiedAt,
passkey sits in FRESH_FACTOR_METHODS so a passkey-proved elevation reaches
the fresh-factor routes, and the enrolment policy counts a primary passkey
as satisfying it outright. The only thing refusing such an account was the
reachability pre-check inside requireFreshMfa, which counts second factors
and nothing else.

So the mode is gone and the route asks for a full freshFactor: true with
proofSource: "any-possession" — a second knob that widens which credentials
count as "could ever prove this", and changes nothing about the gate. A
passkey-only account now gets a real gate with the re-provable
auth.stepup.required rather than no gate at all, and the dead-end
auth.stepup.mfa_not_enrolled is reserved for an account holding nothing.

hasSecondFactorEnrolled is deliberately NOT widened. It answers a different
question, and requireFreshMfaIfEnrolled asks it before deciding whether
account deletion, the data reset, the password change, the encrypted export
and key rotation gate at all — counting a passkey there would change five
destructive actions in passing. The two predicates sit beside each other
with docblocks saying why they differ, and collapsing them turns eight
existing tests red across three files.

Recovery is named rather than assumed. On Bearer: mint an elevation with
method "passkey". On the web: sign in again, which is what stamps the
session — there is no in-page re-proof for a cookie session because the
mint endpoint is Bearer-only by design. That limit is written into the
route docblock instead of left to be discovered, and the removal's refusal
now renders its own sentence in all six locales rather than the server's
English "second-factor" prose, which was wrong for the account this card
mostly serves.

docs/ — internal reference + operator playbooks

The user-facing documentation lives at https://docs.healthlog.dev — that's the canonical surface for self-hosting guides, integration walkthroughs, AI-provider setup, and the doctor-report workflow.

The files in this directory are the internal operator playbooks, audit notes, and machine-readable specs that ship alongside the source:

  • api/ — the OpenAPI 3.1 spec for the native-client subset (iOS DTO codegen target). See api/README.md for the preview commands. Also home to the MCP-server contract: api/mcp-capabilities.md (tools, resources, prompts, write model) and api/mcp-skills.md (building a connector / skill).
  • ops/ — backup / restore + encryption-key-rotation playbooks. These are the runbooks an operator reaches for during an incident.
  • self-hosting/ — horizontal-scaling notes (HEALTHLOG_PROCESS_TYPE=web|worker|all) and the deploy-pipeline recipe. Routine install steps stay on docs.healthlog.dev. Includes self-hosting/mcp.md — enabling the off-by-default MCP connector and pointing Claude.ai / ChatGPT / Claude Desktop at it, and self-hosting/sso.md — OIDC SSO login: IdP setup, the identity-pinning security model, OIDC_ONLY consequences, and the break-glass runbook. Also self-hosting/geolite2.md — bringing your own offline GeoLite2 databases via GEOLITE2_DIR instead of sending login IPs to a third-party lookup. And self-hosting/account-sharing.md — letting one account on the instance open another's health record: the three access levels, the eight sections a grant can be narrowed to, managed profiles for somebody with no login and the guardians who look after them, what revocation does and does not undo, and which trust properties of the instance are unchanged by any of it.
  • migration/ — release-by-release migration notes. Read the entry for the version you're upgrading from.
  • audit/ — per-release audit summaries archived for forensic traceability.
  • apple-store-connect-checklist.md — the iOS submission gate.
  • doctor-report.md — PDF generator design notes.
  • codex-protocol-spec.md — Codex / ChatGPT OAuth protocol reverse-engineering notes.
  • ui-guidelines.md — UI / a11y house style.
