What

Personal API tokens for scripts, clippers and other callers that can't carry the session cookie. Extends the api_tokens table from #354 rather than adding a parallel mechanism.

  • Migration 0051: api_tokens gains a name and the scopes read / write (alongside calendar), plus a (tenant_id, created_at) index. The migration is idempotent.
  • TenantMiddleware: when no session cookie resolves, it accepts Authorization: Bearer atk_…. A read token gets GET/HEAD only. A write token gets every method. No token can reach /api/account/tokens, /api/account/sessions, /api/calendar/feed or DELETE /api/account; those return 403. Tokens can still export and import. When a request carries both, the session cookie wins. Cookie auth and its CSRF defense (SameSite=Lax plus JSON-only mutations) are unchanged. Bearer requests need no CSRF defense because the API grants no CORS.
  • Secret-bearing settings: /api/llm-settings, /api/notifications and /api/board-accounts also return 403 to tokens, so a leaked token can't redirect prompts, codes or messages (CodeRabbit).
  • Token checks: a token resolves only for an active user, so disabling a user stops their tokens too ([SEC] Hardening grab-bag: hash session IDs, honour users.status, sign-out-everywhere, per-tenant LLM rate limit, board-slug validation, userinfo in logged LLM URL #346). A calendar token can't be used as a bearer token. Tokens are stored by sha256 only, and the secret appears only in the create response.
  • Endpoints: GET/POST/DELETE /api/account/tokens, scoped to the tenant. Each account can hold at most 25 tokens; token creation takes a per-tenant advisory lock first, so concurrent requests can't get past the cap (CodeRabbit).
  • Rate limit: 120 requests a minute per token. This limiter is chained onto the existing per-tenant global limiter, so the upload and draft caps still apply.
  • last_used_at: written at most once a minute per token.
  • UI: Settings · Account · API tokens. You can name a token, pick its access, see the new secret once in a labelled read-only field with a copy button, and revoke tokens after a confirm. It is build-free vanilla JS and passes the axe checks.
  • Docs: README API reference (new "API tokens" section), the schema table and the security list are updated, and the local-dev import example now uses a bearer token. BACKLOG is ticked.

Tests

  • New ApiTokenTests (.NET), covering:
    • the secret is shown once and stored by hash
    • validation and the 25-token cap
    • read vs. write scopes
    • tenant isolation
    • the credential routes return 403 to tokens
    • unknown, revoked, calendar and disabled-account tokens return 401
    • cross-tenant revoke returns 404
    • last_used_at granularity
    • the per-token rate limit does not affect other tokens or the session
    • the cookie wins over a bearer token
  • New Playwright test for the Account tab token flow, with axe checks.
  • Full local runs pass: dotnet test (1079 passed), npm run test:web, ruff, mypy, bandit, pytest.

Closes #356

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Manage personal API tokens in Account settings: create read-only or read/write tokens, view their status, and revoke them. Each secret is shown only once.
    • Use bearer tokens to access permitted API routes. Read and write scopes control access, and tokens have individual rate limits.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded API guidance to cover token scopes, security, access restrictions, and management.

Walkthrough

The change adds personal bearer-token authentication with read and write scopes, token management endpoints, and Account settings controls. It stores token hashes, applies per-token rate limits, and documents token access rules and restrictions.

Token storage and lifecycle
api/ApplyTrack.Api/Migrations/0051_personal_api_tokens.sql, api/ApplyTrack.Api/Data/ApiTokenRepo.cs, api/ApplyTrack.Api.Tests/ApiTokenTests.cs
The migration and repository add named read/write tokens, tenant-scoped listing and revocation, one-time secret return, hash-only storage, and validation limits. Tests cover creation, stored hashes, listing, and creation limits.
Bearer authentication and API access
api/ApplyTrack.Api/Auth/TenantContext.cs, api/ApplyTrack.Api/Auth/TenantMiddleware.cs, api/ApplyTrack.Api/Endpoints/AccountEndpoints.cs, api/ApplyTrack.Api/Program.cs, api/ApplyTrack.Api.Tests/ApiTokenTests.cs
Middleware resolves bearer tokens and enforces scope and route restrictions. Account endpoints list, create, and revoke tokens. The global limiter adds a per-token limit. Tests cover authorization, account status, token revocation, usage timestamps, rate limits, and session precedence.
Account controls and supporting updates
api/ApplyTrack.Api/wwwroot/app.js, tests/web/accessibility.spec.js, README.md, BACKLOG.md, api/ApplyTrack.Api/ApplyTrack.Api.csproj, pyproject.toml, src/applytrack/__init__.py
The Account page provides token creation, one-time secret display, listing, and revocation controls. Web tests exercise those controls. Documentation describes token use and restrictions; project version declarations change to 1.61.0.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ad9ce

A write API token can change the account's LLM endpoint, notification credentials, and job-board credentials. That lets a leaked token redirect résumé and prompt data or alter stored secrets. Separately, simultaneous token creation can exceed the 25-token limit. Restrict token access to these settings routes before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to ad9ce

A stolen write token can do more than edit ordinary application data: it can change integration credentials and agent settings, including a setting that can queue real actions. The impact is limited to the token owner’s account, but these capabilities warrant design-level review.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · observed: A newly accepted write bearer passes the broad method-based policy for existing LLM, notification, and agent-settings handlers. Possession of that token can change tenant integration credentials or disable agent dry-run, which can queue real actions when the existing agent prerequisites hold.
  • Low · security · inferred: The 25-token limit is a count inside an INSERT, not a serialized per-tenant invariant. Concurrent authenticated creation requests can count the same existing rows and each insert a token, weakening the credential-count bound and aggregate effect of per-token budgets.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A valid token acts within its resolved tenant rather than selecting a caller-supplied tenant. Within that tenant, a read token can obtain the full account export, while a write token can reach state-changing routes beyond ordinary application edits.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained authorization finding concerns a valid write bearer reaching sensitive settings. The newly admitted caller can update LLM configuration and notification credentials; changing agent dry-run can promote ready work when the handler’s operator and browser checks pass. Those handlers existed in the base revision, but bearer reachability is new.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Bearer requests are stopped before endpoint execution for account routes other than export/import and for calendar-feed paths. Tests cover these denials, cross-tenant reads, disabled users, and revocation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The creation cap rejects a sequential request once 25 rows exist, but concurrent requests are not serialized around the count. Because rate limiting is partitioned per token, exceeding the count also increases the possible combined token request budget; tenant upload and draft limits remain chained separately.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define which integration-credential and agent-control transitions a write token may perform, then enforce that distinction at the authorization boundary rather than relying solely on method and path exclusions.
  • proposed — If 25 is a required security bound, serialize token creation per tenant or enforce the cardinality invariant in the database, and cover concurrent creation and interrupted create responses.

Explanation

Issue #356 requires personal tokens with read, write, and calendar scopes. The PR implements and validates only read and write for personal bearer resolution. ApiTokenRepo rejects other scopes, and TenantMiddleware denies personal tokens on calendar-feed routes. The migration permits calendar, but the personal-token creation and authentication paths do not support that scope. The PR does implement the other issue objectives: SHA-256 hash-only storage, bearer authentication with cookie precedence, token management endpoints, one-time secret display, UI support, per-token rate limiting, and throttled last_used_at updates. The added integration tests cover these behaviors.

Resolution

Implement end-to-end calendar scope support for personal tokens, including creation and validation, bearer authorization for the intended calendar-feed routes, UI or API exposure of that scope as required, and automated tests. If calendar access is intentionally excluded, update issue #356 and its acceptance criteria before merging.
