Summary

P0: prod login broken since 2026-05-29. OAuth + magic-link sign-in lands on /login/callback/?signed_in=1 showing "Sign-in failed. No session token in callback URL."

Root cause (rule-22 violation)

api PR instanodedev/api#176 (commit f176c40, 2026-05-29) shipped AUTH-004 — a real P0 security fix that moved the session JWT out of the redirect URL (where it leaks via Referer header + server-access logs) into an HttpOnly cookie scoped to /auth/exchange. The server-side change explicitly documented the required SPA companion in api/internal/handlers/auth.go:186-194:

SPA loads, sees signed_in=1, POSTs /auth/exchange with credentials. Exchange handler reads the cookie, deletes it (Max-Age=0), returns {token: } in the body. SPA stores it in memory and from then on uses Authorization: Bearer like every other client.

The dashboard companion was never written. The api PR merged solo. Old localStorage-backed sessions kept working (Bearer auth unchanged). ALL new OAuth + magic-link logins broke silently because the URL just had ?signed_in=1 and the page only knew how to read ?session_token=<jwt>.

This is exactly the failure mode CLAUDE.md rule 22 was built to prevent: contract changes must touch all surfaces in one PR.

Fix

LoginCallbackPage now handles BOTH markers:

  • ?session_token=<jwt> (legacy URL token) — kept for backwards-compat with alternate flows
  • ?signed_in=1 (AUTH-004) — POST ${apiBase}/auth/exchange with credentials: 'include', read {token} from response, setToken(), fetchMe(), navigate as before

Behavior:

  • If only signed_in=1: cookie-exchange path
  • If only session_token: legacy path
  • If both: legacy wins (idempotent fallback — avoids needless /auth/exchange POST)
  • If neither: error state (unchanged)

Test coverage block

Symptom: /login/callback/?signed_in=1 → "No session token in callback URL"
Enumeration: rg -nF 'session_token' src/pages/ (3 hits — all in LoginCallbackPage + tests)
Sites found: 1 (LoginCallbackPage.tsx)
Sites touched: 1
Coverage test: 11 unit tests on LoginCallbackPage (was 6); 5 new cases specifically exercise the AUTH-004 path:

  • happy path (POST /auth/exchange, credentials: 'include', token in body)
  • exchange returns non-2xx JSON → surface api error message
  • exchange returns 2xx empty body → surface "no token" error
  • exchange returns non-2xx non-JSON → surface status line
  • both query params present → legacy wins (no needless POST)

Live verified: after merge — will navigate to /login, click GitHub, confirm callback page navigates to /app (chrome devtools MCP).

Follow-up not in this PR

The rule-22 gap is structural: api shipped a URL-query contract change but the dashboard test surface had no mechanism to detect the mismatch. Future work: add a registry-iterating contract test (api side: assert each callback's redirect Location query matches one of {signed_in=1, session_token=<jwt>}; web side: assert LoginCallbackPage handles every marker the registry knows about). Tracked separately so this PR can ship the user-visible fix now.

**Symptom:** OAuth + magic-link sign-in broken in prod since 2026-05-29.
Click "Continue with GitHub" → GitHub auth → redirect lands at
`https://instanode.dev/login/callback/?signed_in=1` showing
"Sign-in failed. No session token in callback URL."

**Root cause (classic rule-22 violation):** api PR #176 (`f176c40`,
2026-05-29) shipped AUTH-004 — a real P0 security fix that moved the
session JWT out of the redirect URL (where it leaks via Referer +
access logs) into an HttpOnly cookie scoped to /auth/exchange. The
server-side change documented the required SPA companion in the api
code comment block (auth.go:186-194) but the companion `instanode-web`
PR was never written. Server changed contract; client kept reading
`session_token=` and bailed when absent. Existing localStorage-backed
sessions kept working (Bearer auth unchanged); ALL new OAuth + magic-
link logins broke silently.

**Fix:** LoginCallbackPage now branches on:
  - ?session_token=<jwt> (legacy URL token) — kept for backwards-compat
    with any older flows that still URL-deliver
  - ?signed_in=1 (AUTH-004) — POST {apiBase}/auth/exchange with
    credentials:include, read {token} from response, setToken, fetchMe,
    navigate as before

The POST sends the HttpOnly cookie cross-origin (api.instanode.dev →
instanode.dev), api returns the JWT in the response body, and the SPA
proceeds with the same Bearer-auth shape it always used. Cookie is
Max-Age=30s and single-use (api deletes on success), so the bridge
window can't be replayed.

If signed_in=1 AND session_token are both present, legacy wins (no
needless /auth/exchange POST).

**Tests:** 11 (was 6). 5 new cases cover the AUTH-004 path:
  - happy path (POST /auth/exchange, credentials:include, token in body)
  - exchange returns non-2xx JSON → surface api message
  - exchange returns 2xx empty body → surface "no token" error
  - exchange returns non-2xx non-JSON → surface status line
  - both query params present → legacy wins

`npm run gate` clean locally (tsc + build + vitest).

Previous commit landed the tests but the Write to LoginCallbackPage.tsx
silently failed in the dev harness. This commit adds the actual code:
exchangeCookieForToken() helper + signed_in=1 branch + getAPIBaseURL
import. Tests in the previous commit now pass against this code.

`npm run gate` clean.

Vitest's vi.fn() with no signature returns Mock<[], unknown>; reading
mock.calls[0][0] / [0][1] under TS strict (noUncheckedIndexedAccess +
strict tuple types) raises TS2493. Give the spy a typed signature
matching `fetch(input, init?)` so the destructuring works without
casts.

`npm run gate` clean.
