SocleStack Development Progress

Last Updated: 2026-01-03 Current Branch: master Status: All planned features complete

Project Goal

Build a Next.js 14 application with enterprise-grade user management features.


Completed Work

Phase 1: Core User Management ✅

Initial implementation

  • User registration with email verification
  • Secure login/logout
  • Password reset workflow
  • Session management (iron-session + JWT)
  • Role-based access control (USER, MODERATOR, ADMIN)
  • Password hashing (bcrypt)
  • Rate limiting on auth endpoints
  • Input validation (Zod)
  • Security headers and CSP

Phase 2: Security & UX Hardening ✅

Completed 2025-11-30

Audit Logging (src/lib/audit.ts)

  • Tracks all security events: login success/failure, logout, account lock/unlock
  • Stores IP address, user agent, and metadata for forensics
  • Categories: authentication, security, admin

Account Lockout (src/lib/auth/lockout.ts)

  • 5 failed login attempts → 15 minute lockout
  • Automatic unlock after duration expires
  • Admin can manually unlock via /api/users/[id]/unlock
  • All lockout events logged to audit trail

Remember Me (src/lib/auth/remember-me.ts)

  • 30-day persistent login sessions
  • Series:token rotation pattern
  • Token theft detection - if stolen token is reused, ALL user sessions revoked
  • Timing-safe comparison to prevent timing attacks

Phase 3: Two-Factor Authentication ✅

Completed 2025-11-30

  • TOTP-based 2FA with QR code setup
  • 10 backup codes for recovery
  • Required for ADMIN role, optional for others
  • Admin can reset user's 2FA

Phase 4: User Impersonation ✅

Completed 2025-11-30

  • Admins can impersonate non-admin users
  • Session preserves original admin identity
  • 1-hour timeout with auto-expiry
  • Sticky amber banner shows impersonation status

Phase 5: Email Notifications ✅

Completed 2025-11-30

  • Login from new device/location alerts
  • Account locked notifications
  • Password changed confirmations
  • 2FA enabled/disabled notifications
  • Provider: Resend (console logging in development)

Phase 6: Organizations (Multi-Tenancy) ✅

Completed 2025-11-30

  • Multi-tenant architecture with logical data isolation
  • Organization roles: OWNER, ADMIN, MEMBER
  • Email invitations with 7-day expiry

  • Invite token support during OAuth registration
  • 2FA integration for linked accounts

Files:

  • src/lib/auth/oauth/ - OAuth client, providers, state management
  • src/app/api/auth/oauth/ - OAuth endpoints
  • src/app/auth/oauth/ - OAuth UI pages

Phase 8: API Keys ✅

Completed 2025-12-01

  • User-scoped keys for programmatic access
  • Permissions: READ_ONLY, READ_WRITE
  • Optional expiration dates
  • Maximum 10 keys per user
  • Key format: ssk_ prefix + 32 bytes base64url

Endpoints:

  • POST /api/keys - Create key (returns full key once)

  • Thin route handlers

Session Consolidation (PR #77)

  • Single source of truth for session management
  • Removed duplicate code

Security Headers Consolidation (PR #78)

  • Unified security headers configuration
  • CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options

JWT Library Consolidation (PR #80)

  • Single JWT library (jose)
  • Removed duplicate implementations

Unit Tests (PR #75)

  • 306 unit tests passing
  • Coverage for auth and security functions

Phase 11: Rate Limiting Abstraction ✅

Completed 2026-01-03

Rate Limiter Interface (PR #101)

  • Pluggable backends: Memory and Redis
  • Async interface supporting distributed stores
  • RFC-compliant headers (X-RateLimit-*, Retry-After)

Implementations:

  • MemoryRateLimiter - Single instance, with cleanup timer
  • RedisRateLimiter - Upstash Redis, atomic Lua scripts

Factory Pattern:

  • Auto-selects Redis if UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL configured
  • Graceful fallback to memory

Files:

  • src/lib/rate-limiter/types.ts - Interface definitions
  • src/lib/rate-limiter/memory.ts - In-memory implementation
  • src/lib/rate-limiter/redis.ts - Redis implementation
  • src/lib/rate-limiter/index.ts - Factory and exports

Phase 12: Frontend & Accessibility ✅

Completed 2026-01-03

Accessibility Labels (PR #86)

  • ARIA labels on all form inputs
  • Screen reader support
  • Keyboard navigation

Loading States (PR #82)

  • Disabled buttons during API calls
  • Prevents double submissions
  • Visual feedback with spinners

Phase 13: Performance ✅

Streaming Audit Exports (PR #85)

  • Large exports streamed (no memory load)
  • Progress feedback for users

N+1 Query Fix (PR #74)

  • Organization slug generation optimized
  • Single query instead of N+1

Documentation ✅

  • Rate limiting rules for all auth endpoints
  • WAF configuration

Distributed Rate Limiting Evaluation (PR #87)

  • docs/plans/2026-01-03-distributed-rate-limiting-evaluation.md
  • Options analysis: Cloudflare, Redis, Upstash
