Description of the pull request

TokenManager could only ever serve the user it was constructed with: userId was final, and the tokenProvider setter could not assign because the field was final too. A flow whose user is only known after an authenticated request — a guest, whose id and token are both issued in exchange for an anonymous one — had no way to adopt the result.

setTokenProvider

void setTokenProvider(String userId, {required TokenProvider tokenProvider})

The user and the provider change together, so the manager can never cache one user's token under another. The cached token is expired and a load already in flight is discarded. The parameter shape matches stream-video-flutter's own setTokenProvider, so call sites read the same in both — video's returns Future<Result<UserToken>> and eagerly loads, this one is void and lets the next getToken do the loading.

The tokenProvider setter is removed — superseded, and it had no callers in core, video or feeds.

AuthInterceptor.withProvider goes too. It existed so a caller could swap in a whole new TokenManager once a guest exchange resolved its user id; setTokenProvider does that on the manager itself, so the indirection buys nothing and leaves two ways to do one thing. auth_interceptor.dart reverts to its pre-#128 state exactly — git diff against that revision is empty. It never shipped, so its changelog entry is dropped rather than recorded as a breaking change. stream-feeds-flutter is the only caller and pins core to a git ref, so it is unaffected until that ref moves.

onTokenUpdated also becomes a constructor-only parameter rather than a public field, since nothing needs to read it back. It was added in #156 and has not shipped, so this is not a breaking change for published callers.

Two defects in the same area

  • DynamicTokenProvider validated only the token type. A loader returning someone else's token authenticated every later request as that user. It now checks the user_id claim, as StaticTokenProvider already did. The type is checked first, so a non-JWT token is reported as the wrong type rather than the wrong user — an anonymous token always carries anonymousUserId and would otherwise fail the id check first.
  • A finished load could repopulate a cache that had just been invalidated. expireToken() — and therefore setTokenProvider — left an in-flight load free to cache its result afterwards: the very token the caller asked to stop using. Loads now carry a generation stamp and are discarded if anything invalidated the cache while they ran. Caught in review by CodeRabbit; both cases have regression tests that fail without the guard.

AuthInterceptor and the user_id query parameter

setTokenProvider makes it reachable for a request to carry user_id for one user and a token for another, when the manager is re-pointed while a token is loading. user_id is deliberately still read from the manager rather than from the loaded token, so that request is rejected. Deriving it from the token would make every request internally consistent and therefore always accepted, silently acting as whoever the token belongs to instead of surfacing the divergence. A test pins this so it is not "fixed" the other way round.

UserToken.anonymous

userId is removed — anonymous tokens always use the new UserToken.anonymousUserId, and any other id was never used. rawValue (added in #156) is now rejected unless its user_id claim matches, which is the only client-supplied identity an anonymous caller can assert.

This also lets a guest bootstrap say what it actually is, rather than labelling an anonymous token with an id that was never used:

final manager = TokenManager(
  userId: UserToken.anonymousUserId,
  tokenProvider: TokenProvider.static(UserToken.anonymous()),
);

// ...once the identity is known
manager.setTokenProvider(userId, tokenProvider: TokenProvider.static(UserToken(rawToken)));

CHANGELOG

The Upcoming entries from #156 are reworded, not re-scoped: ### 🐞 Fixed becomes ### 🐛 Bug Fixes to match every other section in the file, and the longer entries are cut to one line each. The new breaking section keeps ### 💥 BREAKING CHANGES rather than the ### 🛑 Breaking / Removals the style guide prefers — this changelog already uses the former three times and the latter never, so consistency within the file wins. Worth settling if reviewers disagree. #156's tokenProvider setter fix is dropped, since this PR removes the setter it describes — the net effect for a caller in this release is just that the setter is gone, which the breaking-changes entry covers.

STYLE_GUIDE.md

The three token test files each carried their own JWT builder, and two had drifted into claiming alg: HS256 while attaching a base64 blob that is not a signature. They now share one alg: none builder in test/helpers/user_token.dart.

That needed the guide's blessing, because § Make each test entirely self-contained says "embrace code duplication in tests" and the repo had no precedent for cross-test-file imports. The rule's stated rationale is about shared state, though, which a pure builder is not — so the amendment writes that boundary down: a stateless fixture builder may be shared; anything holding state between tests, or arranging a scenario rather than building a value, stays local.

It is 8 lines in one repo-level file and is the only change here outside packages/stream_core. Happy to split it into its own PR if it would rather be reviewed separately.

Migration

// before
manager.tokenProvider = provider;
UserToken.anonymous(userId: someId);

// after
manager.setTokenProvider(userId, tokenProvider: provider);
UserToken.anonymous();

stream-video-flutter calls UserToken.anonymous(userId: id) in its guest bootstrap (coordinator_client_open_api.dart:1730); the argument only needs deleting, since its interceptor reads authType and rawValue and never userId. Video pins stream_core: ^0.4.0, so nothing there breaks until it bumps.

Test plan

  • melos run test:dart — 352 pass in packages/stream_core, up from 342 on main
  • melos run lint:alldart analyze --fatal-infos and dart format both clean

New coverage: 6 setTokenProvider tests (switching users, expiring the previous token, the guest sequence, a load in flight during a user switch, a load in flight during a provider-only switch, usesStaticProvider), expireToken discarding an in-flight load, the DynamicTokenProvider claim check and its error ordering, UserToken.anonymous raw-value validation, the deliberate user_id/token divergence in AuthInterceptor, and what an anonymous token puts on the wire — which nothing covered before.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes

    • Authentication interceptors now require a direct token manager; provider-based construction is no longer supported.
    • Anonymous tokens always use the !anon user ID, and custom IDs are rejected.
    • Added a public constant for the anonymous user ID.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented expired or replaced token requests from caching stale results.
    • Improved validation and error reporting for mismatched users, authentication types, and invalid JWT claims.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the changelog and testing guidance to reflect authentication and token behavior changes.

`TokenManager` could only ever serve the user it was constructed with:
`userId` was final and the `tokenProvider` setter could not assign,
because the field was final too. A flow whose user is only known after
an authenticated request — a guest, whose id and token are both issued
in exchange for an anonymous one — had no way to adopt the result.

- Add `setTokenProvider(userId, tokenProvider:)`, which changes the user
  and the provider together so the manager can never report one user
  while holding another's token, and expires the cached token.
- Remove the `tokenProvider` setter, superseded by the above.
- Discard a token that finishes loading after the manager was pointed at
  another user, so it cannot be cached for the wrong one.

Alongside that, three defects in the same area:

- `getToken()` consulted its cache only when a concurrent caller had
  populated it while waiting for the lock, so a sequential call always
  reloaded — a dynamic provider was invoked on every request.
- `AuthInterceptor` read `user_id` from the manager after awaiting the
  token, so the two could describe different users. It now takes both
  from the loaded token.
- `DynamicTokenProvider` validated only the token type, so a loader
  returning someone else's token authenticated every later request as
  that user. It now checks the `user_id` claim, as the static provider
  already did.

And `UserToken.anonymous` no longer takes a `userId`: anonymous tokens
always use `UserToken.anonymousUserId`, any other id was ignored, and
`rawValue` is now rejected unless its `user_id` claim matches.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR fixes authentication identity consistency. Anonymous tokens use !anon, providers validate token identity and authentication type, and TokenManager protects against stale in-flight loads. AuthInterceptor now uses a direct TokenManager. Tests cover switching, validation, caching, and headers.

Changes

Authentication token consistency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Anonymous token contract
packages/stream_core/lib/src/user/user_token.dart, packages/stream_core/test/user/token_provider_test.dart
UserToken.anonymous uses the fixed !anon identifier and validates supplied JWT claims. Tests cover valid, mismatched, malformed, and invalid-base64 tokens.
Provider identity validation
packages/stream_core/lib/src/user/token_provider.dart, packages/stream_core/test/user/token_provider_test.dart
Static and dynamic providers validate authentication type and user ID, and report typed ArgumentErrors.
Token-manager switching and authentication integration
packages/stream_core/lib/src/user/token_manager.dart, packages/stream_core/lib/src/api/interceptors/auth_interceptor.dart, packages/stream_core/test/user/token_manager_test.dart, packages/stream_core/test/api/interceptors/auth_interceptor_test.dart, packages/stream_core/test/helpers/user_token.dart, packages/stream_core/CHANGELOG.md, STYLE_GUIDE.md
TokenManager updates user and provider state together, invalidates stale loads, and controls callback delivery. AuthInterceptor uses a direct manager. Shared JWT fixtures and documentation support the updated behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 52154

The PR enables switching users and invalidating tokens, but an in-flight load can still restore an obsolete token after a same-user provider change or expiration, potentially reusing a token that was meant to be discarded. This is a concrete merge-readiness concern that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Align the mismatch message with DynamicTokenProvider.

StaticTokenProvider reports the token's user ID as "expected" and the requested user ID as "got". DynamicTokenProvider (lines 112-116) uses the opposite order. Two different meanings for the same message make log triage harder. Use the requested userId as "expected" in both providers.

The entry claimed a fix this branch does not make. `AuthInterceptor` reads
`user_id` from the token manager rather than from the loaded token on
purpose: taking it from the token would make every request internally
consistent and therefore always accepted, hiding a manager/token
divergence instead of surfacing it.

`setTokenProvider` makes it reachable for a request to carry `user_id` for
one user and a token for another, when the manager is re-pointed while a
token is loading. That is allowed on purpose so the server rejects it;
deriving `user_id` from the token would make the request self-consistent
and silently act as the token's owner. Pin it with a test so it is not
"fixed" the other way, and trim the comment that claimed the opposite.

The stale-load guard compared user ids, which let two cases through:
`setTokenProvider` with the same user id and a new provider, and a plain
`expireToken()` during a load. Both ended up caching the token the caller
had just asked to stop using. Loads now carry a generation stamp that
`expireToken` bumps, which subsumes the user id case.

Also address review feedback: order `DynamicTokenProvider`'s checks so a
non-JWT token is reported as the wrong type rather than the wrong user,
align `StaticTokenProvider`'s mismatch message with it, and document that
`UserToken.anonymous` throws FormatException for an unparsable rawValue.

…r text

The ordering test matched on the message prose, which means rewording the
error breaks the test. Throw ArgumentError.value with a name instead — as
UserToken already does — so a test can assert which check failed rather
than how it was phrased.

`Invalid argument (authType)` already says what failed, so restating it as
"Token type mismatch" left three colons in one line.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three test files each defined their own, and two of them claimed alg HS256
while attaching a base64 blob that is not a signature. Adopt the alg=none
builder stream_feeds_test already uses, which is an honest unsigned JWT,
and expose both the raw string and the UserToken since both are needed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
It existed so callers could swap in a whole new TokenManager once a guest
exchange resolved its user id. `setTokenProvider` does that on the manager
itself, so the indirection buys nothing and leaves two ways to do one
thing. The interceptor file reverts to its pre-#128 state exactly.

Never shipped — #128 added it in this same unreleased cycle — so its
changelog entry is dropped rather than recorded as a breaking change.

Also from review: document the FormatException that `UserToken`'s factories
can throw, note that `setTokenProvider` discards an in-flight load, and fix
a test comment that restated a guarantee the file's own test contradicts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Use `### 🛑 Breaking / Removals`; the guide lists `### 💥 BREAKING CHANGES`
  as grandfathered, for existing entries only
- Shorten test names to the behaviour and move the rationale into the body,
  per TESTING.md — a name should be scannable in the runner output
- Drop "positional constructor / backwards-compatible API" from a test name;
  with `withProvider` gone there is only one constructor
- Recommend rather than instruct in `setTokenProvider`'s dartdoc, and trim
  two inline comments to the why

Pre-existing and deliberately left: the nested `group('TokenManager')` >
`group('getToken')` layout, which the guide would rather see split into files.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
STYLE_GUIDE asks tests to embrace duplication and stay self-contained, and
`test/helpers/` had no precedent in the repo — those three imports were the
only cross-test-file imports that existed. Each file carries its own builder
again, all three now the honest alg=none one rather than the two that claimed
HS256 over a fake signature. token_provider_test keeps a string variant since
it feeds `UserToken.anonymous(rawValue:)` directly.

Also keep `### 💥 BREAKING CHANGES`, the form already used three times in
this changelog.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Restores test/helpers/user_token.dart as the single definition for the three
token test files, and amends STYLE_GUIDE's "Make each test entirely
self-contained" to say what it already meant: the rule is about shared state,
not pure construction, so a stateless fixture builder may be shared.

Written down rather than improvised, because the repo had no precedent for
cross-test-file imports and the guide read as forbidding them. The motivating
evidence is in the amendment: of the three copies this replaces, two claimed
alg HS256 while attaching something that was not a signature.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A style guide outlives the change that prompted it, so the rule keeps the
general reason and the specific case stays in the PR that found it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Shortening them was scope creep: the ask was only that tests stop matching
the message text. `ArgumentError`'s two-arg form sets `name` while leaving the
message verbatim, so the test keeps its structural handle and the wording is
unchanged. It also avoids `ArgumentError.value` repeating the value after the
message.

The only wording change left is the argument order in `StaticTokenProvider`,
which review asked for so both providers read the same way.

Plain `ArgumentError(message)`, as before. The check-order test loses its
structural handle and goes back to `throwsArgumentError`; ordering the type
check first still gives a human a better message, and the comment records
why, but nothing asserts it.

It claimed an anonymous token's user id "can never match" the requested one.
It can: an anonymous TokenManager requests `!anon`, which is exactly what an
anonymous token carries. Checking the type before the identity needs no
comment anyway, so restore the file's existing one.

With the user id checked first, the non-JWT test was requesting "user-1" for
an anonymous token, so it threw on the id check and the type check had no
coverage at all. Requesting `!anon` — the id an anonymous token carries —
passes the id check and reaches the type check. Verified by deleting the type
check: the test now fails, where before it still passed.
