* feat(auth): mock session.google_groups in LOCAL_DEV_MODE via LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS
LOCAL_DEV_MODE auto-logged-in the dev user but left session.google_groups
empty, so group-aware UI/code paths can't be exercised on localhost without
a real Google OAuth round-trip. New LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS env var (JSON array
matching the production {id, name} shape) populates the session on every
dev-bypass request — same structure the OAuth callback writes, so mock and
prod stay in lockstep. Compare-then-write avoids spurious Set-Cookie noise
on PAT/CLI requests; malformed input falls back to [] with a WARNING so
the dev mock never breaks the dev flow.
* refactor(auth): fail-fast LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS at startup + cache + no-mutate
Three small follow-ups on the same dev-mock vector before merge:
- Validate LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS at app startup and report the parsed group IDs
in the LOCAL_DEV_MODE banner. A malformed value now warns loudly at boot
instead of silently logging on the first authenticated request, where
it's easy to miss.
- Cache the parsed result single-slot, keyed by the raw env-string. Avoids
re-parsing JSON on every authenticated request without test-isolation
surprises — when the env value changes, the key changes and the cache
transparently rebuilds.
- Stop mutating the parsed-input dicts (item.setdefault → spread-merge)
so the cached list stays a fresh value on every rebuild.
- Replace the try/except guard around request.session with hasattr —
SessionMiddleware is always registered, the silent except was paranoid.
Tests grow by a direct session-cookie inspection (decoupled from the
profile template) and three startup-banner log assertions.
* fix(auth): drop fragile session-decoder test + actually skip empty-target write
Two follow-ups on the LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS feature before merge:
- Drop test_session_holds_mocked_groups_directly. It manually decoded the
signed session cookie via TimestampSigner + base64, hardcoding both the
Starlette session-cookie format and the 14-day max_age. Starlette has
changed its session encoding before (URLSafeTimedSerializer pre-0.20)
and would do so again silently — the test would fail with a cryptic
BadSignature, not a clear "mock is broken" signal. The remaining
test_dev_user_sees_mocked_groups_on_profile already covers the same
observable signal (mocked groups in /profile body) without coupling to
Starlette internals.
- Actually skip the session write when target_groups is empty. The previous
comment claimed compare-then-write avoided spurious Set-Cookie noise on
PAT/CLI requests, but on those requests session.get("google_groups") is
None and target is [], so None != [] always evaluates True and the write
fired anyway, marking the session dirty and re-issuing Set-Cookie on
every request. Adding `target_groups and ...` to the guard makes the
comment honest: empty mock now genuinely no-ops, stable browser sessions
still skip via value-equality, and the only remaining write is the one
that actually changes state.
33 auth tests still pass locally.
* fix(auth): match production's always-write semantics for stale dev groups
Devin code-review finding on PR #70: my earlier `target_groups and ...`
short-circuit silently diverged from the production OAuth callback. In
app/auth/providers/google.py:189-194 the callback always writes
session.google_groups on each login — including [] on failure or empty
token — so the session always reflects authoritative current state. The
mock should match.
Failure mode the previous guard left open: a developer sets
LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS=[{...}] for a session, the groups land in the signed
cookie, then the developer unsets the env var and reloads. target → [],
session.get → [{...}], `if target_groups and ...` is False, no write,
stale groups stay in the browser session indefinitely. Mock now lies
about state until logout.
Fix splits the guard:
- target_groups truthy + value-changed → write the new mock (existing path)
- target_groups falsy + non-empty stored → write [] to clear stale state
- otherwise no-op (target [] + stored None/[]: no transition to record)
PAT/CLI requests with no prior session still take the no-op path
(target=[], session.get → None which is falsy), so the original goal of
suppressing spurious Set-Cookie noise on token traffic is preserved.
Tests already cover the populated and unset paths; the new clear-stale
branch is correct by construction (production has the same shape) and
the rare manual reset workflow.
* release(0.11.2): default mocked groups in make local-dev + docs/local-development.md
Cuts 0.11.2 around the LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS work plus a small dev-experience
follow-up: every `make local-dev` now boots with two sensible default
mocked groups (Local Dev Engineers + Local Dev Admins on example.com),
so /profile and group-aware code paths render something realistic
without the operator having to discover and set LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS.
Layered so the default lives in the workflow, not the contract:
- scripts/run-local-dev.sh seeds LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS via shell ":="
syntax — only sets the var when the operator hasn't already.
Override: LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS='[...]' make local-dev. Disable:
LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS= make local-dev.
- docker-compose.local-dev.yml swaps the commented JSON example for
a bare `- LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS` passthrough — the value comes from the
shell, the compose file just propagates it. Operators running
`docker compose up` directly without the wrapper script get an
empty mock (correct: they didn't opt into the make-driven defaults).
- Makefile help line mentions the mocked groups so the behavior is
visible without grepping.
New docs/local-development.md consolidates dev-onboarding instructions
that were previously scattered across docker-compose.local-dev.yml
inline comments, docs/auth-groups.md "Local-dev mock" section, the
Makefile help text, and CLAUDE.md "First-Time Setup". Single page now
covers TL;DR, what LOCAL_DEV_MODE actually bypasses, group mocking
controls + verification, what is *not* mocked (Cloud Identity, real
OAuth, admin Workspace permissions), and the safety rails that keep
the dev shortcuts off production.
Version bump 0.11.1 → 0.11.2 in pyproject.toml, CHANGELOG cuts
[Unreleased] → [0.11.2] — 2026-04-26 with a fresh empty [Unreleased]
skeleton.
* fix(local-dev): default LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS truncated by shell parameter expansion
Reported by an operator running `make local-dev` against the freshly
released 0.11.2 — the LOCAL_DEV_MODE banner showed:
LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS is not valid JSON, ignoring:
Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 70 (char 69)
LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS is set but produced no valid groups —
check the WARNING above for the parse error.
Cause: the default value lived inside `${LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS:=…}` parameter
expansion. Bash matches `}` to close the expansion at the *first* `}`
encountered in the body, regardless of context — even one inside a
nested JSON object literal. The two-element JSON array was therefore
truncated to the first group's closing brace, leaving an unparseable
fragment:
[{"id":"local-dev-engineers@example.com","name":"Local Dev Engineers"
There is no escaping syntax for `}` inside parameter expansion (the
backslash escapes I had only escaped the quotes — `}` reaches bash
literally). Fix: hold the default in a single-quoted variable and
reference it through `${LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS:-$DEFAULT_LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS}`.
The variable's value is opaque to the expansion — no `}` matching
inside it — so the JSON survives intact. Verified with `python -m json`:
parsed OK: 2 groups: ['local-dev-engineers@example.com',
'local-dev-admins@example.com']
Operators on a running 0.11.2 stack: `make local-dev-down && make
local-dev` to pick up the corrected default.
* fix(local-dev): respect LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS= disable path + add 0.11.2 changelog link
Two follow-ups from a Devin code-review pass on PR #70:
- run-local-dev.sh: switch ${LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS:-$DEFAULT} to
${LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS-$DEFAULT} (no leading colon). The :- form
substitutes the default when the variable is unset OR set-but-empty,
silently overwriting the documented disable knob. Three places
promise this works — docs/local-development.md, the CHANGELOG entry,
and the script's own comment — so the bug was an operator-facing
lie, not just an implementation detail. The bare - form only
substitutes on unset, so `LOCAL_DEV_GROUPS= make local-dev` now
reaches the Python parser as "" and short-circuits to []. Verified
with both empty and unset shells.
- CHANGELOG.md: add the [0.11.2] link reference at the bottom.
Keep-a-Changelog convention is to mirror every version heading
with a release-tag link in the footer; the 0.11.2 heading was
missing its counterpart, breaking the Markdown link rendering on
GitHub.
