feat: make browser login independent of FalkorDB - #719
Conversation
Browser login, API tokens and the user's data-source connection were all funnelled through a FalkorDB lookup on every request. When FalkorDB was unreachable the token lookup silently returned "no user", /auth-status reported the user as logged out and the login modal reappeared - and a login that happened during the outage never persisted its Token node, leaving the user permanently unable to sign in. Separate the three credentials: - Browser login is now a signed session cookie (api/auth/browser_session.py), established once by OAuth or email/password. Validating it is signature and expiry checking only, with no database round trip. - API tokens stay database-backed, but are only consulted when the caller supplies one deliberately (Bearer header or ?api_token=), and never fall back to whoever is logged in to this browser. - Data-source credentials were already per-request and are untouched. _get_user_info now raises AuthBackendUnavailableError instead of collapsing an outage into an invalid credential, so protected routes answer 503 rather than 401 and clients retry instead of re-authenticating. A login whose user-store write failed is retried best-effort on the next /auth-status poll. Also honours the already-documented APP_ENV for session cookie security, which was hardcoded off, and fixes the OAuth api_token cookie being unconditionally Secure (silently dropped over plain HTTP).

Pull request overview
This PR makes browser login independent of FalkorDB by introducing a DB-free, signed session-cookie “browser login” credential, updating auth credential precedence and error semantics so DB outages return 503 (retry) instead of 401 (re-authenticate), and adding unit tests + docs to lock in the new behavior.
Changes:
- Added
api/auth/browser_session.pyto establish/read/expire/logout a DB-free browser login stored in the signed Starlette session cookie. - Updated
validate_user/ auth routes to (1) treat explicit API tokens as DB-backed and never fall back to a browser session, (2) keep browser sessions working during auth-store outages, and (3) surface auth-store outages as 503 where appropriate. - Added targeted unit tests and updated docs/env guidance (
BROWSER_SESSION_TTL_HOURS,APP_ENVsecure-cookie behavior, credential separation).

Four issues raised on the PR: - handle_callback returned True whenever ensure_user_in_organizations did not raise, but that function's first return value is "is new identity", not a success flag - it answers (False, None) on a graph outage. A login during an outage was therefore marked provisioned and never repaired. Test the returned identity info instead. - x-forwarded-proto was compared verbatim in the auth routes, so a proxy sending "HTTPS" or "https, http" dropped the Secure flag on a genuine HTTPS request. Both copies of the check now share one normalizing helper, which is what let them drift apart in the first place. - The session cookie lost Secure whenever APP_ENV was simply absent. Only an explicit APP_ENV=development now opts out, and .env.example sets it so local plain-HTTP runs keep working. - Deferred provisioning minted a fresh API token and set it as a cookie from a read-only status poll. It now repairs only the User/Identity records, so no credential is issued there. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

The api_token cookie is a credential, but its Secure flag was derived from the request. Anyone able to steer a single request over plain HTTP received the token unprotected, and two OAuth callbacks that previously passed a literal True were quietly downgraded to that same check. Route all four cookie writes through one fail-secure policy, matching the session cookie: only an explicit APP_ENV=development run lets the transport have a say.

validate_user()upgrades a legacyapi_tokencookie into a browser session withprovider="api_token_cookie". That provider value is not part of the documented/validated provider set (e.g._validate_user_inputallowsgoogle|github|api|email) and it can leak out via/auth-statusasuser.provider, conflicting with the frontend type union.
Consider using the existing api provider label (or omitting provider from the public user payload) for this upgrade path.

TRANSIENT_BACKEND_ERRORS listed OSError itself, and app_factory registers a handler for every member, so FileNotFoundError and PermissionError answered 503 "try again later" -- turning a missing template or an unreadable key into an invisible, unfixable-by-retrying outage. List the reachability subclasses instead. The legacy-cookie upgrade also invented provider="api_token_cookie", which /auth-status hands straight to the frontend, whose User.provider union does not admit it. Use "api", which is what the token's Identity actually is and is already in the backend allow-list, and widen the union to match. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

The 503 the backend now returns when it cannot check a login was only half wired up. AuthService set unavailable, but AuthContext dropped it and Index gated the login modal on !isAuthenticated alone, so a transient outage still bounced a perfectly valid session to the sign-in prompt -- the exact behaviour this branch set out to remove. Carry the flag through the auth state, leave the modal shut while it is set, and re-check until the backend answers so the session restores itself. Return the session payload rather than db_info when a legacy cookie is upgraded, too: db_info carries no provider or id, so /auth-status was answering provider null for a session it had just established.

TRANSIENT_BACKEND_ERRORScurrently includes the built-inTimeoutError, which is broad enough to catch non-backend timeouts too (e.g. LLM budget enforcement inapi/agents/utils.pyraisesTimeoutError). Becauseapp_factoryregisters a 503 handler for every member of this tuple, those unrelated timeouts will be surfaced as "Service temporarily unavailable" (503) as if FalkorDB were unreachable, which can mislead clients and trigger inappropriate retries.

email_signupreturns HTTP 500 whenensure_user_in_organizations(...)fails and returns(False, None)(e.g., FalkorDB unreachable). That collapses a transient auth-store outage into a server bug and defeats the intended 503 “please retry” behavior (theexcept TRANSIENT_BACKEND_ERRORSblock won’t run becauseensure_user_in_organizationsswallows those exceptions). Consider treatinguser_info is Noneas a 503 so callers retry instead of giving up.
if not (is_new_identity and user_info and user_info.get("new_identity")):
ensure_user_in_organizations caught connection and timeout faults and returned (False, None), which is the same answer it gives for a failed validation or a lost signup race. email_signup cannot tell those apart, so it took the deterministic reading and answered 500 "Registration failed" -- telling the caller to give up on something a retry fixes, and leaving the one endpoint that creates accounts outside the outage-aware behaviour the rest of this branch establishes. Convert the transient faults to AuthBackendUnavailableError at the data boundary, the same as _get_user_info and _authenticate_email_user already do, and let signup answer 503. The two other callers already treat a failure as "defer provisioning" behind a broad except, so their best-effort behaviour is unchanged.

/auth-statuscan return an authenticated user withprovider: null(e.g., when authenticated via an explicit API token, sincevalidate_userreturns DB info without a provider). This interface currently requiresprovider(andname/picture) to be non-null strings, which doesn’t match the backend response shape and can cause type-unsafe assumptions in E2E code.

Closes #494. Supersedes #495 (which patched the symptom: it kept the database as the primary check and only fell back to the session when the query raised — so a user whose token was simply missing from the graph stayed stuck).
Problem
Browser login, API tokens and the user's data-source connection were all funnelled through the same FalkorDB lookup on every request. When FalkorDB was unreachable,
_get_user_infoswallowed the exception and returned "no user", so/auth-statusreported the user as logged out and the login modal reappeared.Worse, a login that happened during the outage never persisted its
Tokennode. Theapi_tokencookie was set but permanently unresolvable, so the user could not sign in again even after FalkorDB recovered.Approach
Separate the three credentials so a failure in one never looks like a failure in another:
Tokennode in the Organizations graphapi/auth/browser_session.py— the browser login, established once by OAuth or email/password and carried in the signed Starlette session cookie. Validating it is signature + expiry checking only. The module deliberately does not importapi.extensions.validate_usernow resolves credentials by how explicit they are: a deliberateAuthorization: Bearer/?api_token=is database-checked and never falls back to whoever is logged in to this browser; otherwise the browser session answers with no database round trip; the legacyapi_tokencookie is the last resort._get_user_inforaisesAuthBackendUnavailableErrorinstead of collapsing "we could not check this credential" into "this credential is invalid". Protected routes answer 503 (retry) rather than 401 (re-authenticate), and email login says "temporarily unavailable" rather than "invalid email or password"._complete_loginestablishes the session regardless of whether theUser/Identity/Tokenwrite lands;_retry_pending_provisioningfinishes that write best-effort on the next/auth-statuspoll, so a login during an outage self-heals.logoutclears the session first — otherwise deleting theapi_tokencookie would leave the user logged in.The cookie is signed, not encrypted, so it carries only the profile the UI already shows its owner (email, name, picture, provider) — never password hashes or data-source credentials. TTL is 24h by default, matching the
Tokenexpiry it replaces, and is configurable viaBROWSER_SESSION_TTL_HOURS.Drive-by fixes in the same code paths
APP_ENVfor itsSecureflag. The README already documented this behaviour; the code hadhttps_only=Falsehardcoded. Now that the cookie is the browser's credential, this matters.api_tokencookie was set withsecure=Trueunconditionally, so it was silently dropped over plain HTTP (local dev). It now matches the email paths and uses_is_request_secure(request)._set_mail_hashreferenced a possibly-unboundsafe_emailin itsexceptblock, masking the real error with aNameError.Testing
