Summary

Migrates the OAuth/login endpoints to a canonical /rest/v1/auth/* namespace
(RFC #876, TODO 1 / issue #963), keeps the old paths working as
deprecation-flagged aliases, and consolidates the login gate behind a single
session predicate with content-negotiated unauthenticated responses.

No behavioural change for logged-in users; the visible change is (a) new
canonical URLs, (b) old URLs now advertise their successor via headers, and
(c) unauthenticated API/tooling calls get a clean 401 instead of being
redirected into login HTML.

⚠️ Open questions — need a maintainer call before/at merge

  1. OpenAPI: document vs. exempt the 4 new /rest/v1/auth/* routes?
    The OpenAPI guardrail currently fails with:
    Flask routes missing from OpenAPI spec: /rest/v1/auth/{callback,login,logout,user}.
    These are auth/redirect endpoints (not data endpoints), so my lean is
    EXEMPT — add them to OPENAPI_GUARDRAIL_EXEMPT_RULES (same treatment as
    the other auth/redirect routes) rather than authoring PathSpecs. I've held
    this deliberately: no OpenAPI files are touched in this PR. Say the word
    (exempt vs document) and I'll add the one-liner (or the PathSpecs +
    regenerated openapi.yaml) as the final commit.

  2. /admin/* unauthenticated policy. Under the inverted rule below,
    /admin/* tooling calls (curl */*, no Accept) now get 401 instead of a
    302 into Google login — which is what we want for scripts/CI. I did not
    otherwise change any /admin/* route behaviour. Confirm this is the intended
    policy for admin endpoints.

What changed

Canonical routes (new)

  • GET /rest/v1/auth/login
  • GET /rest/v1/auth/user
  • GET /rest/v1/auth/callback
  • GET /rest/v1/auth/logout

Deprecated aliases (old paths, header-only — behaviour preserved)

/rest/v1/login, /rest/v1/user, /rest/v1/callback, /rest/v1/logout still
work and delegate to the canonical handlers, but now return:

  • Deprecation: true
  • Link: <…canonical…>; rel="successor-version"

They are header-only — no redirect to the canonical path (notably
/callback still completes the OAuth flow and lands on /chatbot), so existing
integrations don't break.

Single login predicate + content negotiation

  • _is_logged_in() — the one source of truth, keyed on session['user_id']
    (recorded by the login flow since feat(db): persist users + resource selection — Part of #586  #980), not google_id/name.

  • _safe_next() — open-redirect-safe relative ?next target (defaults to /).

  • Inverted login_required rule (the change Spyros asked for): default to a
    clean 401 so tooling isn't 302'd into login HTML; only real browsers get the
    redirect.

    Condition Response
    NO_LOGIN=1 (dev bypass) run the view
    logged in (_is_logged_in()) run the view
    Accept includes text/html (browsers) 302 → /rest/v1/auth/login?next=<safe>
    Accept: application/json 401
    Accept: */* (curl default) 401
    no Accept header 401

    text/html is matched as a substring, so a real browser's
    text/html,application/xhtml+xml,…;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 redirects while a bare
    */* does not.

Frontend

useUser, chatbot, and useResourceSelection now call the /auth/* routes
and send Accept: application/json on their auth/API fetches, so an
unauthenticated state returns a 401 the hooks can handle instead of a 302 the
fetch would try (and fail) to follow.

Tests

  • auth_routes_test.py (new) — canonical routes, deprecated aliases carry the
    deprecation headers, the user_id predicate, the NO_LOGIN bypass, and the
    full content-negotiation matrix: text/html → 302, multi-value browser
    Accept → 302, application/json → 401, */* → 401, no-Accept401,
    and anonymous POST /rest/v1/completion → 401.
  • admin_imports_api_test.py — added /admin/* */* → 401 and no-Accept
    401 cases; existing admin tests unchanged.
  • user_resources_api_test.py — updated to the user_id session predicate.

Out of scope (intentional)

  • No OpenAPI changes (see open question 1).
  • No change to /admin/* route logic beyond the shared login_required
    default.
  • Frontend Accept: application/json headers on existing hooks are kept as-is
    (correct and self-documenting under the new rule).

Verification

  • black 24.4.2 --check — clean on all changed Python files.
  • mypy --strict --ignore-missing-imports on web_main.py — no issues.
  • Auth: migrate OAuth routes from /rest/v1/login to /rest/v1/auth/* #963 suite: 42 passed. The one failure,
    test_admin_imports_endpoints_happy_path, is pre-existing/environmental
    (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'litellm' in the post-apply embeddings
    step) and reproduces on a clean checkout — unrelated to this change.
  • Branch is rebased onto current main; diff is these 9 files only.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added canonical authentication endpoints for login, logout, user status, and OAuth callbacks.
    • Authentication requests now return JSON-friendly 401 responses for API clients and redirect browser requests appropriately.
    • Existing authentication URLs remain available with deprecation notices.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated frontend authentication, chatbot, and resource-selection requests to use the new routes and JSON headers.
    • Improved session recognition, logout behavior, and handling of authentication persistence failures.

Walkthrough

Changes

Authentication route migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session predicate and content negotiation
application/web/web_main.py, application/tests/auth_routes_test.py, application/tests/admin_imports_api_test.py
Authentication uses session["user_id"]. Browser requests redirect to login, while JSON, wildcard, and absent Accept headers receive 401 responses.
Canonical auth routes and compatibility aliases
application/web/web_main.py, application/tests/auth_routes_test.py
Authentication endpoints move under /rest/v1/auth/*. Former paths remain as deprecated aliases with Deprecation and Link headers.
OAuth session persistence and API authentication coverage
application/web/web_main.py, application/tests/auth_routes_test.py, application/tests/user_resources_api_test.py
OAuth callback handling validates the identity claim and database persistence before setting user_id. Resource API tests use the updated session and JSON request headers.
Frontend auth and JSON request migration
application/frontend/src/hooks/*, application/frontend/src/pages/chatbot/chatbot.tsx
Frontend authentication calls use canonical routes. Resource and completion requests send Accept: application/json. Tests verify request headers and login/logout redirects.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3cc8a

The OAuth migration can establish a logged-in session even when the callback state does not match the browser session, and concurrent login attempts may interfere with one another. This creates a high-impact authentication security risk, so the callback state handling should be fixed before merging.

- Around line 886-893: The auth_callback flow must not redirect as a completed
login when upsert_user persistence fails: either return an explicit retryable
login failure, or preserve the verified OIDC session and ensure it remains
usable until persistence succeeds. Update auth_callback and the _is_logged_in
session contract so failed persistence cannot lead to a redirect followed by a
401 from /rest/v1/auth/user.
- Around line 914-916: Update the OAuth redirect flow around _safe_next,
auth_login, and auth_callback to store the validated next target in the session
before authentication begins, then redirect to that session value after a
successful callback and clear it immediately after consumption; preserve
/chatbot as the fallback when no target is stored.
- Around line 1314-1315: Update CREFlow.instance OAuth redirect URI construction
to use url_for("web.auth_callback"), matching the canonical
/rest/v1/auth/callback route, and ensure that canonical URI is registered with
the OAuth provider before removing the deprecated alias.

…lure, drop dead next

- Point the OAuth redirect_uri at the canonical url_for("web.auth_callback")
  instead of the deprecated web.callback alias (CodeRabbit).
- On the OIDC callback, fail explicitly instead of leaving a broken session:
  abort 503 when user persistence raises SQLAlchemyError, abort 401 when the
  provider returns no 'sub'. Previously these logged and redirected to /chatbot
  without session['user_id'], bouncing the user into an endless login loop.
- Drop the dead '?next=' from the browser auth challenge (auth_login never
  consumed it and the callback always lands on /chatbot); redirect to the
  constant /rest/v1/auth/login. Removes the CodeQL "URL redirection from remote
  source" finding and the now-unused _safe_next helper.
- Tests: assert the no-next redirect; add callback persistence-failure (503)
  and missing-sub (401) cases.
