feat(#4): Implement Authentik OIDC authentication with BetterAuth

- Integrated BetterAuth library for modern authentication
- Added Session, Account, and Verification database tables
- Created complete auth module with service, controller, guards, and decorators
- Implemented shared authentication types in @mosaic/shared package
- Added comprehensive test coverage (26 tests passing)
- Documented type sharing strategy for monorepo
- Updated environment configuration with OIDC and JWT settings

Key architectural decisions:
- BetterAuth over Passport.js for better TypeScript support
- Separation of User (DB entity) vs AuthUser (client-safe subset)
- Shared types package to prevent FE/BE drift
- Factory pattern for auth config to use shared Prisma instance

Ready for frontend integration (Issue #6).

# Type Sharing Strategy
This document explains how types are shared between the frontend and backend in the Mosaic Stack monorepo.
## Overview
All types that are used by both frontend and backend live in the `@mosaic/shared` package. This ensures:
- **Type safety** across the entire stack
- **Single source of truth** for data structures
- **Automatic type updates** when the API changes
- **Reduced duplication** and maintenance burden
## Package Structure
```
packages/shared/
├── src/
│ ├── types/
│ │ ├── index.ts # Main export file
│ │ ├── enums.ts # Shared enums (TaskStatus, etc.)
│ │ ├── database.types.ts # Database entity types
│ │ └── auth.types.ts # Authentication types (NEW)
│ ├── utils/
│ └── constants.ts
└── package.json
```
## Authentication Types
### Shared Types (`@mosaic/shared`)
These types are used by **both** frontend and backend:
#### `AuthUser`
The authenticated user object that's safe to expose to clients.
```typescript
interface AuthUser {
readonly id: string;
email: string;
name: string;
image?: string;
emailVerified?: boolean;
}
```
#### `AuthSession`
Session data returned after successful authentication.
```typescript
interface AuthSession {
user: AuthUser;
session: {
id: string;
token: string;
expiresAt: Date;
};
}
```
#### `Session`, `Account`
Full database entity types for sessions and OAuth accounts.
#### `LoginRequest`, `LoginResponse`
Request/response payloads for authentication endpoints.
#### `OAuthProvider`
Supported OAuth providers: `"authentik" | "google" | "github"`
#### `OAuthCallbackParams`
Query parameters from OAuth callback redirects.
### Backend-Only Types
Types that are only used by the backend stay in `apps/api/src/auth/types/`:
#### `BetterAuthRequest`
Internal type for BetterAuth handler compatibility (extends web standard `Request`).
**Why backend-only?** This is an implementation detail of how NestJS integrates with BetterAuth. The frontend doesn't need to know about it.
## Usage Examples
### In the Backend (API)
```typescript
// apps/api/src/auth/auth.controller.ts
import { AuthUser } from "@mosaic/shared";
@Get("profile")
@UseGuards(AuthGuard)
getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: AuthUser) {
return {
id: user.id,
email: user.email,
name: user.name,
};
}
```
### In the Frontend (Web)
```typescript
// apps/web/app/components/UserProfile.tsx
import type { AuthUser } from "@mosaic/shared";
export function UserProfile({ user }: { user: AuthUser }) {
return (
<div>
<h1>{user.name}</h1>
<p>{user.email}</p>
{user.emailVerified && <Badge>Verified</Badge>}
</div>
);
}
```
### API Response Types
```typescript
// Both FE and BE can use this
import type { ApiResponse, AuthSession } from "@mosaic/shared";
// Backend returns this
const response: ApiResponse<AuthSession> = {
success: true,
data: {
user: { id: "...", email: "...", name: "..." },
session: { id: "...", token: "...", expiresAt: new Date() },
},
};
// Frontend consumes this
async function login(email: string, password: string) {
const response = await fetch("/api/auth/login", {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify({ email, password }),
});
const data: ApiResponse<AuthSession> = await response.json();
if (data.success) {
// TypeScript knows data.data exists and is AuthSession
saveSession(data.data);
}
}
```
## Database Types
The `@mosaic/shared` package also exports database entity types that match the Prisma schema:
- `User` - Full user entity (includes all fields from DB)
- `Workspace`, `Task`, `Event`, `Project` - Other entities
- Enums: `TaskStatus`, `TaskPriority`, `ProjectStatus`, etc.
### Key Difference: `User` vs `AuthUser`
| Type | Purpose | Fields | Used By |
|------|---------|--------|---------|
| `User` | Full database entity | All DB fields including sensitive data | Backend internal logic |
| `AuthUser` | Safe client-exposed subset | Only public fields (no preferences, etc.) | API responses, Frontend |
**Example:**
```typescript
// Backend internal logic
import { User } from "@mosaic/shared";
async function updateUserPreferences(userId: string, prefs: User["preferences"]) {
// Has access to all fields including preferences
}
// API response
import { AuthUser } from "@mosaic/shared";
function sanitizeUser(user: User): AuthUser {
return {
id: user.id,
email: user.email,
name: user.name,
image: user.image,
emailVerified: user.emailVerified,
};
// Preferences and other sensitive fields are excluded
}
```
## Adding New Shared Types
When adding new types that should be shared:
1. **Determine if it should be shared:**
- ✅ API request/response payloads
- ✅ Database entity shapes
- ✅ Business domain types
- ✅ Enums and constants
- ❌ Backend-only implementation details
- ❌ Frontend-only UI component props
2. **Add to the appropriate file:**
- Database entities → `database.types.ts`
- Auth-related → `auth.types.ts`
- Enums → `enums.ts`
- General API types → `index.ts`
3. **Export from `index.ts`:**
```typescript
export * from "./your-new-types";
```
4. **Build the shared package:**
```bash
cd packages/shared
pnpm build
```
5. **Use in your apps:**
```typescript
import { YourType } from "@mosaic/shared";
```
## Type Versioning
Since this is a monorepo, all packages use the same version of `@mosaic/shared`. When you:
1. **Change a shared type** - Both FE and BE automatically get the update
2. **Add a new field** - TypeScript will show errors where the field is missing
3. **Remove a field** - TypeScript will show errors where the field is still used
This ensures the frontend and backend never drift out of sync.
## Benefits
### Type Safety
```typescript
// If the backend changes AuthUser.name to AuthUser.displayName,
// the frontend will get TypeScript errors everywhere AuthUser is used.
// You'll fix all uses before deploying.
```
### Auto-Complete
```typescript
// Frontend developers get full autocomplete for API types
const user: AuthUser = await fetchUser();
user. // <-- IDE shows: id, email, name, image, emailVerified
```
### Refactoring
```typescript
// Rename a field? TypeScript finds all usages across FE and BE
// No need to grep or search manually
```
### Documentation
```typescript
// The types ARE the documentation
// Frontend developers see exactly what the API returns
```
## Current Shared Types
### Authentication (`auth.types.ts`)
- `AuthUser` - Authenticated user info
- `AuthSession` - Session data
- `Session` - Full session entity
- `Account` - OAuth account entity
- `LoginRequest`, `LoginResponse`
- `OAuthProvider`, `OAuthCallbackParams`
### Database Entities (`database.types.ts`)
- `User` - Full user entity
- `Workspace`, `WorkspaceMember`
- `Task`, `Event`, `Project`
- `ActivityLog`, `MemoryEmbedding`
### Enums (`enums.ts`)
- `TaskStatus`, `TaskPriority`
- `ProjectStatus`
- `WorkspaceMemberRole`
- `ActivityAction`, `EntityType`
### API Utilities (`index.ts`)
- `ApiResponse<T>` - Standard response wrapper
- `PaginatedResponse<T>` - Paginated data
- `HealthStatus` - Health check format
---
**Remember:** If a type is used by both frontend and backend, it belongs in `@mosaic/shared`. If it's only used by one side, keep it local to that application.

---
## Architecture Decisions
### 1. BetterAuth Over Custom Passport Implementation
**Decision:** Use BetterAuth library instead of building custom Passport.js OIDC strategy
**Rationale:**
- Modern, actively maintained library
- Built-in session management
- Better TypeScript support
- Reduced maintenance burden
- Handles OIDC flow automatically
### 2. Shared Type Package
**Decision:** All types used by both FE and BE live in `@mosaic/shared`
**Rationale:**
- Single source of truth for data structures
- Automatic type updates across stack
- Prevents frontend/backend type drift
- Better developer experience with autocomplete
**Types Shared:**
- `AuthUser` - Client-safe user data
- `Session`, `Account` - Auth entities
- `LoginRequest`, `LoginResponse` - API payloads
- Database entities: `User`, `Task`, `Event`, etc.
### 3. Distinction Between User and AuthUser
**Decision:** Separate `User` (full DB entity) from `AuthUser` (client-safe subset)
**Rationale:**
- Security: Don't expose sensitive fields (preferences, internal IDs)
- Flexibility: Can change DB schema without breaking client contracts
- Clarity: Explicit about what data is safe to expose
---
## Configuration Required
To use the authentication system, configure these environment variables:
```bash
# Authentik OIDC
OIDC_ISSUER=https://auth.example.com/application/o/mosaic-stack/
OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
OIDC_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3001/auth/callback
# JWT Session Management
JWT_SECRET=change-this-to-a-random-secret-in-production
JWT_EXPIRATION=24h
# Application Origin (for CORS)
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000
```
---
## API Endpoints
BetterAuth provides these endpoints automatically:
- `POST /auth/sign-in` - Email/password login
- `POST /auth/sign-up` - User registration
- `POST /auth/sign-out` - Logout
- `GET /auth/session` - Get current session
- `GET /auth/callback/authentik` - OAuth callback handler
- `GET /auth/profile` - Get authenticated user profile (custom)
---
## Security Features
1. **Session-based authentication** with secure tokens
2. **OIDC integration** with Authentik for SSO
3. **JWT tokens** for stateless session validation
4. **Row-level security ready** with workspace isolation in schema
5. **Secure error handling** - No sensitive data in error messages
6. **Type-safe request validation** - TypeScript catches issues early
---
## Future Enhancements (from QA)
These are recommended but not blocking:
### Priority 9-10 (Critical for production)
- Add CurrentUser decorator tests
- Test malformed authorization headers
- Test null returns in getUserBy methods
### Priority 7-8 (Important)
- Verify request mutation in AuthGuard tests
- Add shared type validation tests
- Test token extraction edge cases
### Priority 4-6 (Nice to have)
- Add E2E/integration tests for full OAuth flow
- Refactor mock coupling in service tests
- Add rate limiting to auth endpoints
- Add security monitoring/audit logging
**Estimated effort:** 2-3 hours for all critical improvements
---
## Database Schema Changes
### New Tables
**sessions**
```sql
- id: UUID (PK)
- user_id: UUID (FK users.id)
- token: STRING (unique)
- expires_at: TIMESTAMP
- ip_address: STRING (optional)
- user_agent: STRING (optional)
- created_at, updated_at: TIMESTAMP
```
**accounts**
```sql
- id: UUID (PK)
- user_id: UUID (FK users.id)
- account_id: STRING
- provider_id: STRING
- access_token, refresh_token, id_token: STRING (optional)
- access_token_expires_at, refresh_token_expires_at: TIMESTAMP (optional)
- scope: STRING (optional)
- password: STRING (optional, for email/password)
- created_at, updated_at: TIMESTAMP
- UNIQUE(provider_id, account_id)
```
**verifications**
```sql
- id: UUID (PK)
- identifier: STRING (indexed)
- value: STRING
- expires_at: TIMESTAMP
- created_at, updated_at: TIMESTAMP
```
### Modified Tables
**users**
```sql
Added fields:
- email_verified: BOOLEAN (default: false)
- image: STRING (optional)
Relations:
- sessions: Session[]
- accounts: Account[]
```
---
## Migration Path
To apply the schema changes:
```bash
cd apps/api
# Generate Prisma client with new schema
pnpm prisma:generate
# Create migration
pnpm prisma migrate dev --name add-betterauth-tables
# Apply to production
pnpm prisma migrate deploy
```
---
## Usage Examples
### Backend: Protecting a Route
```typescript
import { UseGuards } from "@nestjs/common";
import { AuthGuard } from "./auth/guards/auth.guard";
import { CurrentUser } from "./auth/decorators/current-user.decorator";
import type { AuthUser } from "@mosaic/shared";
@Get("profile")
@UseGuards(AuthGuard)
getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: AuthUser) {
return {
id: user.id,
email: user.email,
name: user.name,
};
}
```
### Frontend: Using Auth Types
```typescript
import type { AuthUser, LoginResponse } from "@mosaic/shared";
async function login(email: string, password: string): Promise<AuthUser> {
const response = await fetch("/api/auth/sign-in", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ email, password }),
});
const data: LoginResponse = await response.json();
return data.user; // TypeScript knows this is AuthUser
}
```
---
## Lessons Learned
1. **Type Sharing is Essential** - Having types in `@mosaic/shared` caught multiple API/client mismatches during development
2. **BetterAuth Integration** - Required understanding of web standard `Request` vs Express `Request` types
3. **Prisma Type Casting** - PrismaService extends PrismaClient but needs explicit casting for third-party libraries
4. **Test Coverage** - Early test writing (TDD approach) caught issues before they became problems
5. **Code Review Value** - Automated reviews identified type safety issues that would have caused runtime errors
---
## Sign-off
**Implementation:** ✅ Complete
**Tests:** ✅ 26/26 passing
**Code Review:** ✅ All issues resolved
**QA:** ✅ Completed with future recommendations
**Documentation:** ✅ Complete
**Status:** Ready for integration with frontend (Issue #6)
---
**Next Steps:**
1. Frontend can now import types from `@mosaic/shared`
2. Implement login UI in Next.js (Issue #6)
3. Configure Authentik instance with proper client credentials
4. Run database migrations in target environment
5. Consider implementing priority 9-10 test improvements before production
