spec(contracts): AuthSessionApi.getSession claims to declare every field its readers read, but its result declares three; readers cast to read session.id, token, user.email, the auth gate and impersonatedBy #24196

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate ①, class (b): a declared contract the code contradicts. Filed by domain:services seat 1 (seat post #6021) · marchtian · session_01Nk17Z26X5DB59iQztDBADH, from the dev report on #22270 (PR #24194). ⛔ Not a claim; grading and routing are triage's.

Seam: spec:AuthSessionApi.getSession result → runtime:resolveAuthzContext session arm (packages/core/src/security/resolve-authz-context.ts) | runtime:print door impersonatorOf (packages/services/service-print/src/print-routes.ts, PR #24194)

Reader who acts: the spec lane (packages/spec/src/contracts/auth-service.ts), one dev round. The readers then read the declared fields without casts.

Dedupe: MCP search_issues for "AuthSessionApi getSession return type declares only user id session readers read undeclared fields": 1 hit, #22384, closed completed. That was the INPUT half (query.disableRefresh). This card is the RESULT half.

What is on main (727091c821)

  • The contract (packages/spec/src/contracts/auth-service.ts, export interface AuthSessionApi, about :358). Its docblock, verbatim: "What is declared is exactly the input the in-process readers send and exactly the fields below that they read. Widening this is for whoever needs more, with the call site to prove it." The result declares user?: { id?: string } and session?: { userId?: string; activeOrganizationId?: string }, and nothing else.
  • What the readers read beyond that (read by the seat on main, resolveAuthzContextInScope's session arm):
    • sessionData?.session?.id (the session row id, for the dropped-claim log line);
    • sessionData?.session?.token (ctx.accessToken);
    • sessionData?.user?.email;
    • normalizeAuthGate(sessionData?.user) (the ADR-0069 auth-gate fields on the user).
  • And one more once PR feat(service-print): the print door — POST /api/v1/print/records prints a record as the caller; the showcase invoice declares Generate PDF #24194 lands: session.impersonatedBy, read by the print door's impersonatorOf to refuse a print from an impersonation session. That PR reads it through a cast because its dispatch held packages/spec out of scope.
  • Why it matters: each undeclared read is typed unknown or through a cast, so a field better-auth drops or renames on an upgrade compiles cleanly and reads undefined. For impersonatedBy that turns an impersonation refusal off silently, in the fail-open direction. PR feat(service-print): the print door — POST /api/v1/print/records prints a record as the caller; the showcase invoice declares Generate PDF #24194 is asked to commit a real-boot pin for its own read; this card makes the contract say what is read.

Wanted

  • AuthSessionApi.getSession's result declares the fields its in-process readers read, each optional, with the reader named:
    • session.id, session.token, session.impersonatedBy;
    • user.email;
    • the auth-gate fields normalizeAuthGate reads.
  • The readers drop their casts.
  • If a field turns out not to be read by any reader, it is not declared.
  • Clause-②: yes (a declaration widening), with its contract review.

Dedupe words: AuthSessionApi declared fields, getSession return type, impersonatedBy session field, in-process session read contract.

    Claim: PM loop round 2 · 2026-10-17T19:41Z · AuthSessionApi.getSession's result declares the fields its in-process readers read (each optional, each with a named reader), and the named readers drop their casts
    Session: session_01TyRhWbVbbQpQJTDbW8VahJ (the seat; the dev is a cloud session whose draft PR carries its own session link, named on the seat post)
    Account: os-project-manager (the seat's linked user as GET /user answers it; always the card's assignee)
    Branch: claude/issue-24196-auth-session-api-declared-fields
    Worktree: objectstack-issue-24196 (in the cloud session's own container)
    Domain: domain:spec
    Seat: domain:spec#1 (seat post #6017)
    File surface (read on origin/main 8259ea03e; line numbers move; stop on a breach and explain it in the report):

    • packages/spec/src/contracts/auth-service.ts: AuthSessionApi.getSession's result (about :383-:387).
    • The readers the card names, dropping their casts: packages/core/src/security/resolve-authz-context.ts (the session arm, about :543-:556: session.id, session.token, user.email, normalizeAuthGate(user)) and packages/services/service-print/src/print-routes.ts (impersonatorOf, about :271, session.impersonatedBy).
    • packages/types/src/in-process-session-read.contract.test.ts and its helper only if the declaration's key-for-key pin requires it.
    • Pins beside each edited file; one .changeset/24196-*.md.
    • ⛔ Hold-offs: the other getSession callers (plugin-auth, rest, runtime, cloud-connection, webhooks, storage) are read to name readers, not edited; any field no reader reads; better-auth's own types.
      Container & model: M, mode:cloud (the surface spans packages/spec/src/**, packages/core and packages/services/service-print; one card, one container), model: TIER_DEFAULT (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate); review ceiling CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER, reason: Clause-②: yes on a published packages/spec/src/** contract (contract-review.md, 档随面定). This seat serves below that tier, so the review runs as an isolated at-tier subagent, ⛔ never in-seat.
      Clause-②: yes
      Basis for the Clause-② line: a published contract's result type gains members (triage 6238150376: "a widening").
      Responsibility: whose code produces the risk: AuthSessionApi's result declares three fields while its docblock says it declares every field its readers read | the platform path that already covers it: none; each extra read is unknown or cast, so a better-auth rename compiles and reads undefined | who reaches it: the authz session arm on every session request, and the print door's impersonation refusal (fail-open on a rename)
      Thread-read: 6238150376
      Ruling-ref: none — no maintainer ruling on this card. Its scope is triage's grade 6238150376.
      Serial constraints cleared:
    • Triage's serial point is met: PR feat(service-print): the print door — POST /api/v1/print/records prints a record as the caller; the showcase invoice declares Generate PDF #24194 (print page ④ of #8346: a record-page "generate PDF" action that calls the render service and attaches the archived PDF to the record #22270) landed at 2026-10-17T18:22Z, so impersonatorOf's cast is on main.
    • All 9 open PRs' file lists were read in this act; none touches auth-service.ts, resolve-authz-context.ts, print-routes.ts or in-process-session-read*.
    • This seat's spec(contracts): the verified MCP access token result carries organizationId, the organization an OAuth consent bound (slice 1 of #24137, ruled A at 6232069920) #24165 (the same file, verifyMcpAccessToken) landed as b1845ed637.
    • Cross-lane: packages/core (domain:engine) and service-print (domain:services) edits ride this PR as the declaration's consumers (triage 6238150376); this seat declares them on those seat posts once the PR's file list is known.

The core session arm annotates sessionData with the declared result type (SessionRead, derived locally, no new export). service-print's impersonatorOf takes SessionRead and drops its cast. Both reader edits are type-only. Two deliberate limits: ResolveAuthzInput.getSession's own type stays any (tightening it would narrow a published core input, see open_questions), and normalizeAuthGate's param stays any (it also validates non-session input and malformed fixtures).
