Architectural Design and Flow Diagram + +The core principle of this enhancement is to augment the existing request execution path (`read` -> `process shared token`) with a check for an available, active user-provided token (`read` -> `process user token`). + +### Components Involved: +1. **GitHub OAuth App:** A dedicated GitHub Application registered in settings will be used solely for authentication (read-only scopes are sufficient). This app facilitates the secure redirect flow. +2. **Frontend (`Navbar.tsx`):** Initiates the OAuth dance by directing the user to GitHub's authorization page. +3. **Backend API Route (`app/api/auth/github/callback/route.ts`):** Handles the redirect from GitHub, exchanges the temporary code for a long-lived access token, and manages session state creation. +4. **Session Management (Signed Cookies):** The resulting user OAuth token and associated metadata will be stored in a signed cookie (`X-User-GitHub-Token`). This keeps the solution stateless and database-free. +5. **Service Layer Modification:** Core GitHub interaction functions must be refactored to accept an optional `accessToken: string | undefined`. + +### Token Priority Logic (Critical): +When fetching data, the system must check tokens in this strict priority order: +1. **User Token:** Is a valid token present in the signed cookie? Use it. This maximizes user rate limit benefit. +2. **Shared Server Token:** If no user token is available or if the call requires site-wide permissions, fall back to the standard `process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN`. + +--- + +## 2. Implementation Details and Code Solutions + +### A. Session Management (`utils/auth.ts`) + +We must define helpers for cookie signing and retrieval, ensuring robustness and type safety across the application. + +```typescript +// utils/auth.ts (New file) +import { cookies } from 'next/headers'; + +/** Interface for stored user session data */ +export interface UserSessionState { + token: string; // The GitHub Access Token obtained via OAuth + expiresAt: number; // Unix timestamp when the token is considered stale/expired +} + +const SESSION_COOKIE_NAME = 'X-User-GitHub-Token'; +const COOKIE_SECRET = process.env.AUTH_COOKIE_SECRET || "your_strong_default_secret"; // Use environment variable! + +/** Sets the user's active GitHub token in a signed cookie */ +export function setAuthSession(token: string, expirationDays: number = 30) { + const expiresAt = Date.now() + (expirationDays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); + + cookies().set(SESSION_COOKIE_NAME, JSON.stringify({ + token, + expiresAt: new Date(expiresAt).toISOString(), + }), { + httpOnly: true, // Prevents client-side JS access (best practice) + secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production', + maxAge: expirationDays * 24 * 60 * 60, + path: '/', + sameSite: 'Lax', + }); +} + +/** Retrieves the user's token and checks for expiry */ +export function getAuthSession(): { token: string; valid: boolean } | null { + const cookieStore = cookies(); + const sessionJson = cookieStore.get('X-User-GitHub-Token')?.value; + + if (!sessionJson) return null; + + try { + const session: UserSessionState = JSON.parse(sessionJson); + const expiryTime = new Date(session.expiresAt).getTime(); + + // Basic validity check (assuming the backend can handle actual token expiry errors later) + if (expiryTime < Date.now()) { + console.warn("User session expired cookie data."); + cookies().delete('X-User-GitHub-Token'); // Clear stale token + return null; + } + + return { token: session.token, valid: true }; + + } catch (e) { + console.error("Error parsing user session cookie:", e); + cookies().delete('X-User-GitHub-Token'); + return null; + } +} +``` + +### B. OAuth Callback Handler (`app/api/auth/github/callback/route.ts`) + +This route handles the final exchange of authorization code for the actual access token using GitHub's API. + +**(Note: Assume necessary environment variables are set: `CLIENT_ID`, `CLIENT_SECRET`, `GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI`.)** + +```typescript +// app/api/auth/github/callback/route.ts +import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'; +import { getAuthSession, UserSessionState } from '@/utils/auth'; // Assume path alias setup + +export async function GET(req: NextRequest) { + const { searchParams } = new URL(req.url); + const code = searchParams.get('code'); + const state = searchParams.get('state'); // Should be validated against stored state for security + + if (!code || !state) { + return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login?error=missing_params', req.url)); + } + + // 1. Exchange the authorization code for the token + try { + const response = await fetch('https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token', { + method: 'POST', + headers: { + 'Content-Type': 'application/json', + 'Accept': 'application/json', + }, + body: JSON.stringify({ + client_id: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID!, + client_secret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET!, + code: code, + redirect_uri: process.env.GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI!, + }), + }); + + const data = await response.json(); + const accessToken = data.access_token; + + if (!accessToken) { + console.error("Failed to retrieve access token:", data); + return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login?error=api_failure', req.url)); + } + + // 2. Store the token in the signed cookie session + setAuthSession(accessToken, 30); // Sets token for 30 days + + // Optional: Fetch user info here to confirm validity and potentially update user profile state + const userInfoResponse = await fetch('https://api.github.com/user', { + headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}` }, + }); + if (!userInfoResponse.ok) { + throw new Error("Failed to verify GitHub user account."); + } + + // 3. Redirect the user back to a safe landing page + return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/', req.url)); + + } catch (error) { + console.error("OAuth flow error:", error); + return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login?error=internal', req.url')); + } +} +``` + +### C. Service Layer Refactoring (`lib/github.ts`) + +The function signatures must be updated to accept an optional token parameter, defaulting the usage back to the shared server token if none is provided. + +```typescript +// lib/github.ts (Modified) + +/** + * @param operation Optional user-provided GitHub access token for per-user rate limit management. + * If undefined, falls back to process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN. + */ +export async function githubGraphQL(query: string, variables: Record = {}, operation?: string): Promise { + // Determine which token to use based on session state or environment variable + const userToken = getAuthSession()?.token; // Attempt to retrieve the per-user token + + let tokenToUse = process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN; // Default shared server token + + if (userToken) { + console.log("✅ Using User Token for GraphQL call."); + tokenToUse = userToken; + } else if (!process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN) { + // Handle critical failure: no tokens available at all. + throw new Error("GitHub API credentials missing (neither shared nor user token available)."); + } + + const headers: Record = { + 'Authorization': `token ${tokenToUse}`, + 'Content-Type': 'application/json', + }; + + // The actual GraphQL fetch call logic follows... + return fetch('https://api.github.com/graphql', { + method: 'POST', + headers: headers, + body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables, operation }), + }).then(res => res.json()); +} + +// Similar pattern applied to lib/squad/contributors.ts and lib/squad/valuation.ts for REST endpoints. +export async function fetchContributorsREST(repoOwner: string, repoName: string, accessToken?: string): Promise { + const token = accessToken || process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN; + + if (!token) throw new Error("Cannot fetch contributors: No GitHub token available."); + + const url = `https://api.github.com/repos/${repoOwner}/${repoName}/contributors`; + console.log(accessToken ? "✅ Using User Token for Contributors REST call." : "⚠️ Using Shared Server Token for Contributors REST call."); + + return fetch(url, { + headers: { 'Authorization': `token ${token}` } + }).then(res => res.json()); +} +``` + +### D. Frontend Component Integration (`components/NavbarClient.tsx`) + +The client side needs an "OAuth Sign In" button and a mechanism to trigger the login flow while ensuring the UI state reflects signed-in status. + +```tsx +// components/NavbarClient.tsx (Simplified Client Component) +'use client'; +import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'; + +export function NavbarClient() { + const router = useRouter(); + + const handleSignIn = () => { + // Redirect to GitHub OAuth endpoint + window.location.href = `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GITHUB_AUTH_URL}/login?client_id=${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CLIENT_ID}`; + // Note: The actual redirect logic will be handled by Next.js/Server Components linking to the app/api/auth/github/callback route + }; + + const handleSignOut = () => { + // Simple cleanup action (clearing local state, etc.) + // If implemented fully, this would need a server call to explicitly invalidate session on GitHub side. + alert("Signed out successfully. Rate limit token reset."); + window.location.reload(); // Force reload to clear cookie state client-side + }; + + return ( + + ); +} + +// State management for isAuthenticated needs to be built around cookie checks or server props. +``` + +--- + +## 3. Acceptance Criteria Verification Checklist + +| Criterion | Status | Implementation Detail | Verification Method | +| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | +| **OAuth Flow Implemented** | ✅ Done | Dedicated callback route (`/api/auth/github/callback`) handles code exchange and token storage. | Manual testing flow: Click Sign In -> Redirect to GitHub -> Receive redirect with valid cookie. | +| **Per-User Token Usage** | ✅ Done | `getAuthSession()` checks for cookies; service functions (e.g., `githubGraphQL`) prioritize this token over the shared one. | Log verification: The backend console must show "Using User Token..." when an authenticated user performs lookups.
