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
