What

Session requests to the API now authenticate by the Authorization bearer and nothing else.

• packages/auth: session verification is handed only the Authorization header, so a cookie on the request is never read as a credential.
• apps/web: the same-origin /_api proxy drops the Cookie header before forwarding. The page's cookies were being sent to the API with every call.
• apps/ai: the MCP session fallback no longer counts a cookie as "a credential was sent".

Why

Every client (dashboard, CLI, mobile, MCP) already sends a bearer. Accepting a credential the browser attaches by itself meant a request did not have to come from code that can read the session token.

Verification

• packages/auth auth.test.ts: new case, a cookie-only request is rejected and a bearer request with a cookie still resolves. It fails on main (1 failed | 78 passed) and passes here (79 passed).
• apps/web handler.test.ts: new case, the forwarded request carries the bearer and no cookie (17 passed).
• apps/ai resolve-tenant.oauth.test.ts: an MCP request with cookies and no bearer is answered as carrying no credential.
• Scoped typecheck of packages/auth, apps/web, apps/ai; lint with the CI config and format check on the changed files.
• Preview: sign in and load data through /_api, then confirm a request with cookies and no bearer gets a 401.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Forwarded API requests no longer include the browser’s cookies; authorization credentials continue to be forwarded.
  • Cookie-only requests to tenant and MCP authentication are now rejected as missing credentials. Requests with a bearer token can still authenticate, including when a cookie is also present.
  • Authentication header forwarding is limited to defined authorization headers, regardless of capitalization.

Walkthrough

Forwarded API requests exclude cookies, and authentication header selection forwards only Authorization headers. MCP credential classification now treats a cookie-only request as missing credentials.

Changes: Credential Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Select and forward authorization credentials packages/auth/src/index.ts, packages/auth/src/auth.test.ts, apps/web/src/api-proxy-forward.ts, apps/web/src/handler.test.ts	toHeaders forwards only defined Authorization headers, case-insensitively. The API proxy removes the cookie header from forwarded requests. Tests cover header selection, cookie exclusion, and bearer-token authentication.
Classify missing MCP credentials apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/resolve-tenant.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/resolve-tenant.oauth.test.ts	Credential detection checks only for an Authorization header. Tests verify that cookie-only requests produce McpAuthMissingError.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 10/10 · safe to merge. Both new behaviours — cookie never read by toHeaders, cookie stripped by the /_api proxy — are pinned by tests that fail on main; the only new commit adds one such test.
_{no findings · tests covered · risk high}

Sessions now authenticate by the Authorization bearer only: toHeaders forwards nothing else to Clerk, the /_api proxy drops Cookie, and MCP stops counting a cookie as a credential. Contained and safe to merge; the comment at apps/ai/src/runtime/auth-graph.ts:16 still says "session cookie".

• toHeaders forwards only the authorization header to Clerk's authenticateRequest
• /_api forwarding deletes the incoming Cookie header before the binding call
• MCP carriesCredential no longer treats a cookie as a credential
• New tests: cookie-only rejection in packages/auth and apps/ai, cookie stripped in apps/web

Make the mock distinguish the cookie session.

If cookies are forwarded only when a bearer is present, both assertions can still pass. Make the mock select a different user when it receives a cookie.

Suggested fix

-							userId: "user_123",
+							userId: request.headers.has("cookie") ? "user_cookie" : "user_123",

Update the provider mock in the “signs a request in by its bearer, never by a session cookie” test so its `toAuth` result uses a distinct user ID when the request contains a cookie. Keep the no-credential rejection and bearer-authentication assertions, and assert that the bearer user is returned even when a cookie is also present.

App's own /_api calls after sign-in	no 401 or 5xx	11 calls, all 200
Same GET with cookies and no Authorization	401	401 on /api/auth/session, /internal/billing/customer, /v2/ingest_keys, /v2/instrumentation/signals, /v2/anomalies/incidents/service_counts (session cookies present)

Dashboards and Alerts showed their "live sync is unavailable" state, which is the preview:web deploy (no live sync), not this change.

Not done: no screenshot (the snapshot tool timed out; nothing visual changed), and no trace review, since this change adds no span and no query.
