Description

This pull request adds a stateful email-change flow for authenticated users. Users provide their current password and new email address to request a change, then verify the change with a token. The flow updates the email only after verification and can send the verification link through a configured callback.

Key Changes

  • Add the changeEmail and verifyEmailChange APIs and register the POST /email/change and GET /email/change/verify actions.
  • Validate the current password and new email, create a hashed verification token, and send the token and verification URL to the configured callback. The token expires after 30 minutes by default.
  • On successful verification, update the user's email and verification timestamp, revoke the token, and revoke other sessions while retaining the current session.
  • Add emailChange configuration and rate limits for both APIs. Stateless session strategies reject both operations as unsupported.

Usage

Configure emailChange.sendEmailChangeVerification to deliver the token and URL. Then call the APIs with the authenticated user's headers:

await api.changeEmail({
  headers,
  payload: {
    currentPassword: "current-password",
    newEmail: "alice@example.com",
  },
})

await api.verifyEmailChange({
  headers,
  payload: { token: verificationToken },
})

The callback receives the verification token and URL for delivery.

Walkthrough

The change adds APIs and HTTP actions to initiate and verify email changes. Stateful sessions create and validate email-change tokens, update the email, and revoke other sessions. Configuration adds token expiry, a verification callback, and rate limits. Stateless sessions expose both operations as unsupported.

Stateful token lifecycle
packages/core/src/session/stateful/*, packages/core/src/session/stateless/*
Adds stateful token creation and verification. Valid tokens update the email and verification time, then revoke the token and other sessions. Stateless mode exposes both operations as unsupported.
API operations and route exposure
packages/core/src/api/*, packages/core/src/actions/email/*, packages/core/src/actions/index.ts, packages/core/src/config/router.ts, packages/core/src/config/logger/catalog.ts
Adds programmatic APIs and HTTP actions for email change and verification. Registers the routes and adds log messages for change, verification, and cancellation events.
Flow tests and supporting records
packages/core/test/actions/email/*, packages/core/test/api/stateful/*, packages/core/test/setup/entities.ts, packages/core/CHANGELOG.md
Tests successful requests and verification, credential and token failures, redirect behavior, email updates, and session revocation. Adds an email-change token fixture and changelog entry.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 3c5be

The email-change flow may fail from the real emailed link because of the CSRF header check. It can also allow case-variant duplicate emails and leave older pending change links usable. Fix these, and confirm session-token logging and the callback documentation are corrected, before merging.

A rabbit checks the old email with care,
Then sends a token through the air.
A verified address takes its place,
And old sessions leave without a trace.
The burrow’s routes now guide the change,
While config keeps expiry in range.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/@types/config.ts:
- Line 214: Update the AuthConfig email-change example to use the
sendEmailChangeVerification property and send the verification message to
newEmail, not email. Revise the surrounding prose to clarify that email is the
current address and optional, while newEmail is the address being verified.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/api/verify-email-change.ts:
- Around line 38-47: In the API flow after `sessionStrategy.verifyEmailChange`,
handle `success === false` by throwing an `AuraAuthError` so the existing catch
returns an error response instead of resolving a redirect. Add
`INVALID_EMAIL_CHANGE_TOKEN` to `ERROR_CATALOG`, following the existing
`INVALID_RESET_PASSWORD_TOKEN` entry.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/session/stateful/verify-email-change.ts:
- Around line 20-24: Update verifyEmailChange to accept the authenticated
session userId and reject the token when it differs from verifiedToken.userId;
consume the token before updating the user, or perform both operations in one
transaction, so a failed consumption cannot leave the email changed with a
reusable token.
- Line 29: In the verify-email-change flow, replace the hardcoded session-cookie
name match with a lookup through the configured cookie manager, so custom
prefixes and session-token name overrides are honored and currentSessionId is
set before revokeAllSessions runs.

Allow the email verification link to bypass the double-submit header check.

A browser navigation sends the CSRF cookie but does not send X-CSRF-Token. This action leaves skipCSRFCheck at its default false, so verifyEmailChange can reject the link with CSRF_DOUBLE_SUBMIT_FAILED.

Pass skipCSRFCheck: true. This preserves CSRF-cookie validation while skipping the unavailable header check.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/api/change-email.ts:
- Around line 19-21: Move the missing-callback guard in changeEmail inside its

CHANGE_EMAIL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED error and the standard failure-response handling.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/errors/catalog.ts:
- Around line 877-883: Align the schema-error and stateful-verifier paths in
verifyEmailChangeAction on one invalid-token code and status. Update the
relevant error mapping and verifyEmailChange HTTP toResponse handling to use
that contract; if INVALID_VERIFICATION_TOKEN remains the intended code, add it
to the error catalog, otherwise use the existing INVALID_EMAIL_CHANGE_TOKEN
contract consistently.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/session/stateful/change-email.ts:
- Around line 22-25: Normalize the new email in the change-email flow before
checking registration, and use that same normalized value when storing the
updated identifier. Update the getUserByEmail lookup and the newIdentifier
assignment so case and surrounding whitespace cannot bypass the duplicate-email
check.
- Around line 33-40: Update the changeEmail flow around
sessionConfig.adapter.createToken to revoke any existing unrevoked email_change
tokens for the user before creating the new token. Use the adapter’s established
revocation mechanism and scope it to this user and token type, preserving
unrelated tokens.
