Closes the gap adversarial review found: `wifi-densepose login` writes ~/.ruview/credentials.json, which a BROWSER CANNOT READ. The UI therefore had no way to obtain a Cognitum token at all, and the WebSocket ticket mechanism ADR-272 built "for browsers" was only exercisable with the legacy static shared secret OAuth was meant to replace. The ADRs described a browser story that did not exist. Ported from cognitum-one/freetokens (src/auth/oauth.ts, live at freetokens.cognitum.one), whose shape is not the obvious one and is the whole point: THE BROWSER NEVER HOLDS AN OAUTH TOKEN. The server generates the PKCE verifier and state, keeps them in an HMAC-signed cookie, performs the code exchange itself, verifies the token, and issues its OWN session cookie carrying an assertion — subject, account, scope, expiry — not a credential. So the access token cannot be read by an XSS, cannot sit in localStorage, and cannot leak through a URL. A stolen session cookie is useless against Cognitum or any sibling service. GET /oauth/start -> 302 to auth.cognitum.one + signed transaction cookie GET /oauth/callback -> constant-time state check, exchange, verify, session GET /oauth/logout -> clears the local session (not the Cognitum session) Verified against the running binary: /oauth/start returns the same 302 + HttpOnly/SameSite=Lax/Max-Age=600 shape freetokens does live; a forged `state` is refused 400; a forged session cookie is refused 401. DELIBERATE DEVIATION from freetokens: no `__Host-` cookie prefix. That prefix REQUIRES `Secure`, and RuView is routinely reached at http://localhost or over plain HTTP on a LAN, where such a cookie is never sent and sign-in would fail silently. `Secure` is set only when the request actually arrived over TLS (direct or via x-forwarded-proto). Every other attribute matches; the HMAC is what protects the value. Other decisions worth stating: - The callback verifies through the SAME `verify_access_token` every other request uses — signature, audience (client_id), typ, expiry, scope. A sign-in path must not be a softer path. - The session cookie is checked LAST in the middleware, after bearer and ticket: it is the weakest-bound credential, so a presented bearer should win. - A browser session requests `sensing:read` only. Admin work goes through the CLI's explicit `--admin`. - The token exchange runs in `spawn_blocking` — `ureq` is blocking, and parking an async worker is the mistake this codebase just had to fix in jwks.rs. - `/oauth/*` sits outside `/api/v1/*` on purpose: gating the routes you use to obtain a credential would deadlock. PKCE moved out from behind the `login` feature into its own light `pkce` feature (rand + sha2 + base64, no HTTP stack), so the server can build an authorize URL without pulling in the client-side login machinery. `login` now implies `pkce`. Tests: 13 new browser_session unit tests — signature round-trip, tampered payload, wrong secret, malformed cookie values, HttpOnly/SameSite/Secure attributes, exact scope matching with no implied escalation, a cookie name that merely ends with the target not matching, multi-scope URL encoding, and the core property that a session cookie never contains the access token.
