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 changes are: (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.

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 — behaviour preserved, header-only)

/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 during the migration window.

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.

  • login_required default is now 401, redirecting only real browsers:

    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
    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
    */* (curl/scripts) and /admin/* tooling get a machine-readable 401
    instead of being bounced into Google login HTML.

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 rather than a 302
the fetch would try (and fail) to follow.

Review feedback addressed

  • CodeQL — "URL redirection from remote source": removed the dead ?next=
    from the browser auth challenge. auth_login never consumed a return target
    and auth_callback always lands on /chatbot, so forwarding request.full_path
    was a dead (and taint-flagged) value. The challenge now redirects to the
    constant /rest/v1/auth/login; the unused _safe_next helper was dropped.
    (Return-to-page is a possible future feature via a session-stored target.)
  • OAuth redirect_uri pointed at the deprecated route: CREFlow.instance
    now builds the redirect URI from url_for("web.auth_callback") (canonical)
    instead of url_for("web.callback") (deprecated alias).
  • Broken session on persistence failure (login loop): the OIDC callback now
    fails explicitly instead of redirecting as if login succeeded — it aborts
    503 when upsert_user raises SQLAlchemyError, and 401 when the provider
    returns no sub. Previously these logged and redirected to /chatbot without
    setting session['user_id'], so the next login_required call returned 401
    and the chatbot bounced the user back into an endless login flow.

OpenAPI guardrail — resolved: EXEMPT

The four canonical /rest/v1/auth/* routes are OAuth/redirect endpoints, not
part of the documented read-only public API. They are added to
OPENAPI_GUARDRAIL_EXEMPT_RULES in application/web/openapi_registry.py,
alongside their already-exempt deprecated aliases — no PathSpecs and no
openapi.yaml regeneration
. This clears the guardrail's route-coverage check
(which was failing both the "Test" and "Lint Code Base" jobs).

⚠️ Ops note (before retiring the deprecated /callback alias)

Because the OAuth redirect_uri now resolves to /rest/v1/auth/callback, that
canonical URI must be registered in the Google OAuth console before the old
/rest/v1/callback alias is removed.

Tests

  • auth_routes_test.py (new) — canonical routes, deprecated aliases carry the
    deprecation headers, the user_id predicate, the NO_LOGIN bypass, the full
    content-negotiation matrix (text/html → 302, multi-value browser → 302,
    application/json → 401, */* → 401, no-Accept → 401), anonymous
    POST /rest/v1/completion → 401, and the callback failure paths
    (persistence-failure → 503, missing-sub → 401, no-next redirect).
  • 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.

Verification

Out of scope / follow-ups

  • No OpenAPI PathSpecs / openapi.yaml changes (routes are exempt, not documented).
  • No /admin/* route logic changes beyond the shared login_required default.
  • Retiring the deprecated aliases (and the OAuth-console registration above) is a
    later migration step.

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. 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, application/web/openapi_registry.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: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13ff2

The auth route migration should not merge until JSON user responses match frontend expectations and content negotiation respects explicit HTML exclusions; otherwise authenticated frontend requests can fail to parse and some API clients can receive redirects they rejected.

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.

…drail (OWASP#963)

The four canonical auth routes (/rest/v1/auth/{login,callback,logout,user}) are
OAuth/redirect endpoints, not part of the documented read-only public API. Add
them to OPENAPI_GUARDRAIL_EXEMPT_RULES alongside their deprecated pre-OWASP#963
aliases, matching how the old paths were already treated. No PathSpecs and no
openapi.yaml regeneration -- the guardrail's route-coverage check passes because
these rules are exempt, not documented.
The canonical /rest/v1/auth/callback path called redirect() without
return, so token verification and session writes continued after a
state mismatch. Add a regression test.

Maintainer pass on the /rest/v1/auth/* migration.

Persistence-failure → 503 (no broken session) was already correct on this branch.
?next return-to-page is explicitly deferred — fine for this PR.

Pushed 13ff289: return on OAuth state-mismatch redirect (same bug as #1021) + regression test. Auth route tests pass locally.

LGTM once CI is green. Closes #1021 when merged.

Honor explicit Accept exclusions.

The browser branch treats any occurrence of text/html as a browser request. An Accept value such as text/html;q=0,application/json still receives the login redirect, even though the client rejects HTML. Parse the media types and honor q=0 before choosing the redirect.
