|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Device Flow vs. Callback Flow
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Chose: Device Flow**
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
|
||||
- More reliable in Electron (no localhost server needed)
|
||||
- Better user experience (familiar GitHub code entry)
|
||||
- No port conflicts or firewall issues
|
||||
- Simpler implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. User clicks "Connect GitHub"
|
||||
2. App requests device code from GitHub
|
||||
3. Browser opens to `https://github.com/login/device`
|
||||
4. User enters 8-character code
|
||||
5. App polls GitHub for authorization
|
||||
6. Token saved when authorized
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Token Storage
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Chose: Electron Store with Encryption**
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Uses OS-level encryption (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows)
|
||||
- Simple API, battle-tested library
|
||||
- Per-app storage (not per-project like PATs)
|
||||
- Automatic serialization/deserialization
|
||||
|
||||
**Security:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Encryption key: `opennoodl-github-credentials`
|
||||
- Stored in app data directory
|
||||
- Not accessible to other apps
|
||||
- Cleared on disconnect
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. API Client Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Chose: Singleton Wrapper around Octokit**
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Single source of truth for GitHub state
|
||||
- Centralized rate limit tracking
|
||||
- Easy to extend with new methods
|
||||
- Type-safe responses
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `githubClient.getRepository()` vs raw Octokit calls
|
||||
- Automatic auth token injection
|
||||
- Consistent error handling
|
||||
- Ready for mocking in tests
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Backwards Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Maintains existing PAT system**
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:**
|
||||
|
||||
- OAuth is optional enhancement
|
||||
- PAT authentication still works
|
||||
- OAuth takes precedence if available
|
||||
- Users can choose their preferred method

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Authentication Status
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { GitHubAuth } from '@noodl-services/github';
|
||||
|
||||
if (GitHubAuth.isAuthenticated()) {
|
||||
const username = GitHubAuth.getUsername();
|
||||
console.log(`Connected as: ${username}`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Authenticate User
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { GitHubAuth } from '@noodl-services/github';
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await GitHubAuth.startDeviceFlow((message) => {
|
||||
// Show progress to user
|
||||
console.log(message);
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
console.log('Authentication successful!');
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error('Authentication failed:', error);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fetch Repository Info
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { githubClient } from '@noodl-services/github';
|
||||
|
||||
if (githubClient.isReady()) {
|
||||
const repo = await githubClient.getRepository('owner', 'repo-name');
|
||||
console.log('Repository:', repo.full_name);
|
||||
|
||||
// Check rate limit
|
||||
const rateLimit = await githubClient.getRateLimit();
|
||||
console.log(`API calls remaining: ${rateLimit.remaining}`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parse Git Remote URL
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { GitHubClient } from '@noodl-services/github';
|
||||
|
||||
const remoteUrl = 'git@github.com:owner/repo.git';
|
||||
const parsed = GitHubClient.parseRepoUrl(remoteUrl);
|
||||
|
||||
if (parsed) {
|
||||
console.log(`Owner: ${parsed.owner}, Repo: ${parsed.repo}`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## What's NOT Complete Yet
|
||||
|
||||
### ⏳ Phase 3: UI Integration (2-3 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
Need to add OAuth UI to VersionControlPanel:
|
||||
|
||||
**Files to modify:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `VersionControlPanel/components/GitProviderPopout/sections/CredentialsSection.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Features to add:**
|
||||
|
||||
- "Connect GitHub Account (OAuth)" button
|
||||
- Connection status display (username, avatar)
|
||||
- "Disconnect" button
|
||||
- Progress feedback during auth flow
|
||||
- Error handling UI
|
||||
|
||||
### ⏳ Phase 4: Git Integration (1-2 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
Integrate OAuth with existing Git operations:
|
||||
|
||||
**Files to modify:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-git/src/git.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes needed:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Check for OAuth token before using PAT
|
||||
- Use OAuth token for Git operations when available
|
||||
- Fall back to PAT if OAuth not configured
|
||||
|
||||
### ⏳ Phase 5: Testing (1-2 hours)
|
||||
|
||||
**Manual testing checklist:**
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] OAuth flow opens browser
|
||||
- [ ] Device code display works
|
||||
- [ ] Token saves correctly
|
||||
- [ ] Token persists across restarts
|
||||
- [ ] Disconnect clears token
|
||||
- [ ] API calls work with token
|
||||
- [ ] Rate limit tracking works
|
||||
- [ ] PAT fallback still works
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation needed:**
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] GitHub App registration guide
|
||||
- [ ] Setup instructions for client ID
|
||||
- [ ] User-facing documentation
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. GitHub App Not Registered Yet
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Using placeholder client ID
|
||||
|
||||
**Action needed:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Register GitHub OAuth App at https://github.com/settings/developers
|
||||
- Update `GITHUB_CLIENT_ID` environment variable
|
||||
- Document setup process
|
||||
|
||||
**Temporary:** Code will work with placeholder but needs real credentials
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. No Token Refresh
|
||||
|
||||
**Current:** Tokens don't expire (GitHub personal access tokens are permanent)
|
||||
|
||||
**Future:** If we switch to GitHub Apps (which have expiring tokens), will need refresh logic
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Single Account Only
|
||||
|
||||
**Current:** One GitHub account per OpenNoodl installation
|
||||
|
||||
**Future:** Could support multiple accounts or per-project authentication
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. No Rate Limit Proactive Handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Current:** Tracks rate limits but doesn't prevent hitting them
|
||||
|
||||
**Future:** Could queue requests when approaching limit or show warnings
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests (TODO)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// GitHubTokenStore.test.ts
|
||||
describe('GitHubTokenStore', () => {
|
||||
it('saves and retrieves tokens', () => {
|
||||
// Test token persistence
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
it('detects expired tokens', () => {
|
||||
// Test expiration logic
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// GitHubClient.test.ts
|
||||
describe('GitHubClient.parseRepoUrl', () => {
|
||||
it('parses HTTPS URLs', () => {
|
||||
// Test URL parsing
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
it('parses SSH URLs', () => {
|
||||
// Test SSH format
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests (TODO)
|
||||
|
||||
- Mock GitHub API responses
|
||||
- Test OAuth flow (without real browser)
|
||||
- Test token refresh logic
|
||||
- Test error scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate (Phase 3)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add OAuth UI to CredentialsSection**
|
||||
|
||||
- Create "Connect GitHub Account" button
|
||||
- Show connection status when authenticated
|
||||
- Add disconnect button
|
||||
- Handle progress/error states
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Test OAuth flow end-to-end**
|
||||
- Register test GitHub App
|
||||
- Verify browser opens
|
||||
- Verify token saves
|
||||
- Verify API calls work
|
||||
|
||||
### After GIT-004A Complete
|
||||
|
||||
**GIT-004B:** Issues Panel (Read)
|
||||
|
||||
- List GitHub issues
|
||||
- Display issue details
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Device Flow is Ideal for Desktop Apps
|
||||
|
||||
OAuth Device Flow is much simpler and more reliable than traditional callback-based OAuth in Electron. No need to spin up localhost servers or handle redirects.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Electron Store is Perfect for Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
`electron-store` with encryption provides OS-level security without the complexity of manually using Keychain/Credential Manager APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Octokit is Well-Designed
|
||||
|
||||
The `@octokit/rest` library is comprehensive and type-safe. Wrapping it in our own client provides application-specific convenience without losing flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Service Layer First, UI Second
|
||||
|
||||
Building the complete service layer before touching UI makes integration much easier. The UI can be a thin wrapper around well-tested services.
|
||||

# CHANGELOG: GIT-004A Phase 5B - Web OAuth Flow
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented GitHub Web OAuth Flow to replace Device Flow, enabling users to select which organizations and repositories to grant access to during authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
## Status: ❌ FAILED - See FAILURE-REPORT.md
|
||||
|
||||
**Date Attempted:** January 9-10, 2026
|
||||
**Time Spent:** ~4 hours
|
||||
**Result:** OAuth completes but callback handling broken - debug logs never appear
|
||||
|
||||
**See detailed failure analysis:** [FAILURE-REPORT.md](./FAILURE-REPORT.md)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Main Process OAuth Handler ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/github-oauth-handler.ts` (NEW)
|
||||
|
||||
- Created `GitHubOAuthCallbackHandler` class
|
||||
- Implements localhost HTTP server on ports 3000-3004 (with fallback)
|
||||
- Handles `/github/callback` route for OAuth redirects
|
||||
- CSRF protection via state parameter
|
||||
- Exchanges authorization code for access token
|
||||
- Fetches user info and installation data from GitHub API
|
||||
- Sends results to renderer process via IPC
|
||||
- Beautiful success/error pages for browser callback
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Port fallback mechanism (tries 3000-3004)
|
||||
- Secure state validation (5-minute expiration)
|
||||
- Proper error handling with user-friendly messages
|
||||
- Clean IPC communication with renderer
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Main Process Integration ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js`
|
||||
|
||||
- Imported `initializeGitHubOAuthHandlers`
|
||||
- Registered OAuth handlers in `app.on('ready')` event
|
||||
- IPC channels: `github-oauth-start`, `github-oauth-stop`
|
||||
- IPC events: `github-oauth-complete`, `github-oauth-error`
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. GitHub Auth Service Upgrade ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubAuth.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Added:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `startWebOAuthFlow()` - New Web OAuth implementation
|
||||
- Communicates with main process via IPC
|
||||
- Opens browser to GitHub authorization page
|
||||
- Waits for callback with 5-minute timeout
|
||||
- Saves token + installations to storage
|
||||
- Proper cleanup of IPC listeners
|
||||
|
||||
**Deprecated:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `startDeviceFlow()` - Marked as deprecated
|
||||
- Now forwards to `startWebOAuthFlow()` for backward compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Removed Dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
- No longer depends on `@octokit/auth-oauth-device`
|
||||
- Uses native Electron IPC instead
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Type Definitions Enhanced ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubTypes.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Added:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `GitHubInstallation` interface
|
||||
- Installation ID
|
||||
- Account info (login, type, avatar)
|
||||
- Repository selection type
|
||||
- List of repositories (if selected)
|
||||
|
||||
**Updated:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `StoredGitHubAuth` interface now includes `installations?: GitHubInstallation[]`
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Token Store Enhanced ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubTokenStore.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Updated:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `saveToken()` now accepts optional `installations` parameter
|
||||
- Logs connected organizations when saving
|
||||
- Added `getInstallations()` method to retrieve stored installations
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. UI Updated ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/components/GitProviderPopout/sections/CredentialsSection.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Changed:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `handleConnect()` now calls `GitHubAuth.startWebOAuthFlow()` instead of `startDeviceFlow()`
|
||||
- UI flow remains identical for users
|
||||
- Progress messages update during OAuth flow
|
||||
- Error handling unchanged
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### OAuth Flow Sequence
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. User clicks "Connect GitHub Account" button
|
||||
↓
|
||||
2. Renderer calls GitHubAuth.startWebOAuthFlow()
|
||||
↓
|
||||
3. Renderer sends IPC 'github-oauth-start' to main process
|
||||
↓
|
||||
4. Main process starts localhost HTTP server (port 3000-3004)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
5. Main process generates OAuth state (CSRF token)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
6. Main process returns authorization URL to renderer
|
||||
↓
|
||||
7. Renderer opens browser to GitHub OAuth page
|
||||
↓
|
||||
8. GitHub shows: "Where would you like to install OpenNoodl?"
|
||||
→ User selects organizations
|
||||
→ User selects repositories (all or specific)
|
||||
→ User reviews permissions
|
||||
↓
|
||||
9. User approves → GitHub redirects to localhost:PORT/github/callback?code=XXX&state=YYY
|
||||
↓
|
||||
10. Main process validates state (CSRF check)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
11. Main process exchanges code for access token
|
||||
↓
|
||||
12. Main process fetches user info from GitHub API
|
||||
↓
|
||||
13. Main process fetches installation info (orgs/repos)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
14. Main process sends success to renderer via IPC 'github-oauth-complete'
|
||||
↓
|
||||
15. Renderer saves token + installations to encrypted storage
|
||||
↓
|
||||
16. UI shows "Connected as USERNAME"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
17. Main process closes HTTP server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Features
|
||||
|
||||
1. **CSRF Protection**
|
||||
|
||||
- Random 32-byte state parameter
|
||||
- 5-minute expiration window
|
||||
- Validated on callback
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Secure Token Storage**
|
||||
|
||||
- Tokens encrypted via electron-store
|
||||
- Installation data included in encrypted storage
|
||||
- OS-level encryption (Keychain/Credential Manager)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Localhost Only**
|
||||
|
||||
- Server binds to `127.0.0.1` (not `0.0.0.0`)
|
||||
- Only accepts connections from localhost
|
||||
- Server auto-closes after auth complete
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Error Handling**
|
||||
- Timeout after 5 minutes
|
||||
- Proper IPC cleanup
|
||||
- User-friendly error messages
|
||||
|
||||
### Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
- `startDeviceFlow()` still exists (deprecated)
|
||||
- Forwards to `startWebOAuthFlow()` internally
|
||||
- Existing code continues to work
|
||||
- PAT authentication unchanged
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
2. **No More 403 Errors**
|
||||
|
||||
- Proper organization repository access
|
||||
- Installations grant correct permissions

# FAILURE REPORT: GIT-004A Phase 5B - Web OAuth Flow
|
||||
|
||||
**Task:** Enable GitHub organization/repository selection during OAuth authentication
|
||||
**Status:** ❌ FAILED
|
||||
**Date:** January 9-10, 2026
|
||||
**Tokens Used:** ~155,000
|
||||
**Time Spent:** ~4 hours
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Replace GitHub Device Flow with Web OAuth Flow to enable users to select which organizations and repositories to grant access to during authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Was Attempted
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Custom Protocol Handler (Initial Approach)
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Created/Modified:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/github-oauth-handler.js` (created)
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js` (modified)
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubAuth.ts` (modified)
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubTypes.ts` (modified)
|
||||
- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubTokenStore.ts` (modified)
|
||||
|
||||
**Approach:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Created custom protocol handler (`noodl://github-callback`)
|
||||
2. Built OAuth handler in main process to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Register protocol handler
|
||||
- Generate OAuth state/CSRF tokens
|
||||
- Handle protocol callbacks from GitHub
|
||||
- Exchange authorization code for access token
|
||||
- Fetch user info and installations
|
||||
- Send results to renderer via IPC
|
||||
|
||||
3. Updated `GitHubAuth.ts` to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `startWebOAuthFlow()` instead of Device Flow
|
||||
- Communicate with main process via IPC
|
||||
- Wait for `github-oauth-complete` event
|
||||
|
||||
4. Removed old `GitHubOAuthService` from `ProjectsPage.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Debug Logging
|
||||
|
||||
**Added comprehensive logging:**
|
||||
|
||||
- 🔐 Protocol callback received (main process)
|
||||
- 📤 IPC event sent to renderer (main process)
|
||||
- 🎉 IPC event received (renderer)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Failed
|
||||
|
||||
### The Critical Issue
|
||||
|
||||
**When user clicks "Connect GitHub Account":**
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **GitHub OAuth works:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Browser opens to GitHub
|
||||
- User authorizes the app
|
||||
- GitHub redirects to `noodl://github-callback?code=XXX&state=YYY`
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **But the callback never completes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Protocol handler receives the callback (presumably - can't confirm)
|
||||
- **NONE of our debug logs appear in console**
|
||||
- No `🔐 PROTOCOL CALLBACK RECEIVED` log
|
||||
- No `📤 SENDING IPC EVENT` log
|
||||
- No `🎉 IPC EVENT RECEIVED` log
|
||||
- Button stays in "Connecting..." state forever
|
||||
- No errors in console
|
||||
- No exceptions thrown
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Cause (Unknown)
|
||||
|
||||
The debug logs we added don't appear, which means one of:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Protocol handler isn't receiving the callback**
|
||||
|
||||
- The `noodl://` protocol isn't registered properly
|
||||
- macOS/Windows isn't calling our handler
|
||||
- The callback URL is malformed
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Code isn't being loaded/executed**
|
||||
|
||||
- Webpack isn't bundling our changes
|
||||
- Import paths are wrong
|
||||
- Module isn't being initialized
|
||||
|
||||
3. **IPC communication is broken**
|
||||
|
||||
- Main process can't send to renderer
|
||||
- Channel names don't match
|
||||
- Renderer isn't listening
|
||||
|
||||
4. **The button isn't calling our code**
|
||||
- `CredentialsSection.tsx` calls something else
|
||||
- `GitHubAuth.startWebOAuthFlow()` isn't reached
|
||||
- Silent compilation error preventing execution
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Is Hard To Debug
|
||||
|
||||
### No Error Messages
|
||||
|
||||
- No console errors
|
||||
- No exceptions
|
||||
- No webpack warnings
|
||||
- Silent failure
|
||||
|
||||
### No Visibility
|
||||
|
||||
- Can't confirm if protocol handler fires
|
||||
- Can't confirm if IPC events are sent
|
||||
- Can't confirm which code path is executed
|
||||
- Can't add breakpoints in main process easily
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Possible Failure Points
|
||||
|
||||
1. Protocol registration
|
||||
2. GitHub redirect
|
||||
3. Protocol callback reception
|
||||
4. State validation
|
||||
5. Token exchange
|
||||
6. IPC send
|
||||
7. IPC receive
|
||||
8. Token storage
|
||||
9. UI update
|
||||
|
||||
Any of these could fail silently.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What We Know
|
||||
|
||||
### Confirmed Working
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Button click happens (UI responds)
|
||||
✅ GitHub OAuth completes (user authorizes)
|
||||
✅ Redirect happens (browser closes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Confirmed NOT Working
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Protocol callback handling (no logs)
|
||||
❌ IPC communication (no logs)
|
||||
❌ Token storage (button stuck)
|
||||
❌ UI state update (stays "Connecting...")
|
||||
|
||||
### Unknown
|
||||
|
||||
❓ Is `noodl://` protocol registered?
|
||||
❓ Is callback URL received by Electron?
|
||||
❓ Is our OAuth handler initialized?
|
||||
❓ Are IPC channels set up correctly?
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Modified (May Need Reverting)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
packages/noodl-editor/src/main/github-oauth-handler.js (NEW - delete this)
|
||||
packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js (MODIFIED - revert IPC setup)
|
||||
packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubAuth.ts (MODIFIED - revert)
|
||||
packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/pages/ProjectsPage/ProjectsPage.tsx (MODIFIED - revert)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Should Have Been Done Differently
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Verify Button Connection First
|
||||
|
||||
Before building infrastructure, should have confirmed:
|
||||
|
||||
- Which component renders the button user clicks
|
||||
- What method it calls
|
||||
- That our new code is reachable
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Test Incrementally
|
||||
|
||||
Should have tested each piece:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Protocol registration works?
|
||||
- ✅ Main process handler fires?
|
||||
- ✅ IPC channels work?
|
||||
- ✅ Renderer receives events?
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Understand Existing Flow
|
||||
|
||||
Should have understood why Device Flow wasn't working before replacing it entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Check for Existing Solutions
|
||||
|
||||
May be an existing OAuth implementation we missed that already works.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (If Resuming)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Debug Why Logs Don't Appear
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add `console.log` at module initialization to confirm code loads
|
||||
2. Check webpack output to verify files are bundled
|
||||
3. Check Electron main process console (not just renderer)
|
||||
4. Verify protocol handler is actually registered (`app.isDefaultProtocolClient('noodl')`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Different Approach Entirely
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use localhost HTTP server (original plan Phase 1)
|
||||
2. Skip org/repo selection entirely (document limitation)
|
||||
3. Use Personal Access Tokens only (no OAuth)
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Revert Everything
|
||||
|
||||
1. `git checkout` all modified files
|
||||
2. Delete `github-oauth-handler.js`
|
||||
3. Restore original behavior
|
||||
4. Document that org selection isn't supported
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Always verify code is reachable** before building on top of it
|
||||
2. **Debug logs that never appear** mean code isn't running, not that it's working silently
|
||||
3. **Test each layer** independently (protocol → main → IPC → renderer)
|
||||
4. **Electron has two processes** - check both consoles
|
||||
5. **Silent failures** are the hardest to debug - add breadcrumb logs early
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
This task failed because the OAuth callback completion mechanism never executes. The protocol handler may not be receiving callbacks, or our code may not be loaded/initialized properly. Without visibility into why the debug logs don't appear, further progress is impossible without dedicated debugging time with access to both Electron main and renderer process consoles simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Revert all changes and either:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use a different authentication method (PAT only)
|
||||
- Investigate why existing OAuth doesn't show org selection
|
||||
- Hire someone familiar with Electron IPC debugging

# GIT-004A Phase 5B: Web OAuth Flow for Organization/Repository Selection
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** 📋 **PLANNED** - Not Started
|
||||
**Priority:** HIGH - Critical for organization repo access
|
||||
**Estimated Time:** 6-8 hours
|
||||
**Dependencies:** GIT-004A OAuth & Client Foundation (✅ Complete)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade GitHub OAuth authentication from Device Flow to Web OAuth Flow to enable users to select which organizations and repositories they want to grant access to - matching the professional experience provided by Vercel, VS Code, and other modern developer tools.
|
||||
|
||||
**Current State:** Device Flow works for personal repositories but cannot show organization/repository selection UI.
|
||||
|
||||
**Desired State:** Web OAuth Flow with GitHub's native org/repo selection interface.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Implementation (Device Flow)
|
||||
|
||||
**User Experience:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. User clicks "Connect GitHub Account"
|
||||
2. Browser opens with 8-character code
|
||||
3. User enters code on GitHub
|
||||
4. Access granted to ALL repositories
|
||||
5. ❌ No way to select specific orgs/repos
|
||||
6. ❌ Organization repos return 403 errors
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Technical Limitation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Device Flow is designed for devices without browsers (CLI tools)
|
||||
- GitHub doesn't show org/repo selection UI in Device Flow
|
||||
- Organization repositories require explicit app installation approval
|
||||
- Users cannot self-service organization access
|
||||
|
||||
### What Users Expect (Web OAuth Flow)
|
||||
|
||||
**User Experience (like Vercel, VS Code):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. User clicks "Connect GitHub Account"
|
||||
2. Browser opens to GitHub OAuth page
|
||||
3. ✅ GitHub shows: "Where would you like to install OpenNoodl?"
|
||||
- Select organizations (dropdown/checkboxes)
|
||||
- Select repositories (all or specific)
|
||||
- Review permissions
|
||||
4. User approves selection
|
||||
5. Redirects back to OpenNoodl
|
||||
6. ✅ Shows: "Connected to: Personal, Visual-Hive (3 repos)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
User->>OpenNoodl: Click "Connect GitHub"
|
||||
OpenNoodl->>Browser: Open OAuth URL with state
|
||||
Browser->>GitHub: Navigate to authorization page
|
||||
GitHub->>User: Show org/repo selection UI
|
||||
User->>GitHub: Select orgs/repos + Approve
|
||||
GitHub->>Browser: Redirect to callback URL
|
||||
Browser->>OpenNoodl: localhost:PORT/callback?code=...&state=...
|
||||
OpenNoodl->>GitHub: Exchange code for token
|
||||
GitHub->>OpenNoodl: Return access token
|
||||
OpenNoodl->>User: Show "Connected to: [orgs]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Components
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Callback URL Handler** (Electron Main Process)
|
||||
|
||||
- Registers IPC handler for `/github/callback`
|
||||
- Validates OAuth state parameter (CSRF protection)
|
||||
- Exchanges authorization code for access token
|
||||
- Stores token + installation metadata
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Web OAuth Flow** (GitHubAuth service)
|
||||
|
||||
- Generates authorization URL with state
|
||||
- Opens browser to GitHub OAuth page
|
||||
- Listens for callback with code
|
||||
- Handles success/error states
|
||||
|
||||
**3. UI Updates** (CredentialsSection)
|
||||
|
||||
- Shows installation URL instead of device code
|
||||
- Displays connected organizations
|
||||
- Repository count per organization
|
||||
- Disconnect clears all installations
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### OAuth State Parameter
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Prevent CSRF attacks
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Generate random state before redirecting
|
||||
const state = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex');
|
||||
sessionStorage.set('github_oauth_state', state);
|
||||
|
||||
// Validate on callback
|
||||
if (receivedState !== sessionStorage.get('github_oauth_state')) {
|
||||
throw new Error('Invalid OAuth state');
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Client Secret Storage
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** Client secret must be securely stored
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Environment variable (development)
|
||||
2. Electron SafeStorage (production)
|
||||
3. Never commit to Git
|
||||
4. Never expose to renderer process
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Storage
|
||||
|
||||
**Already Implemented:** `electron-store` with encryption
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Port Conflicts
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** Callback URL uses fixed port (e.g., 3000)
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Try multiple ports (3000, 3001, 3002, etc.)
|
||||
- Show error if all ports busy
|
||||
- Document how to change in settings
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Firewall Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** Some corporate firewalls block localhost callbacks
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Provide PAT fallback option
|
||||
- Document firewall requirements
|
||||
- Consider alternative callback methods
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Installation Scope Changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** User might modify org/repo access on GitHub later
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Validate token before each Git operation
|
||||
- Show clear error if access revoked
|
||||
- Easy reconnect flow
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Users (Device Flow):**
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep working with existing tokens
|
||||
- Show "Upgrade to Web OAuth" prompt
|
||||
- Optional migration (not forced)
|
||||
|
||||
**New Users:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Only see Web OAuth option
|
||||
- Device Flow removed from UI
|
||||
- Cleaner onboarding
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Path
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Check token source
|
||||
if (token.source === 'device_flow') {
|
||||
// Show upgrade prompt
|
||||
showUpgradePrompt({
|
||||
title: 'Upgrade GitHub Connection',
|
||||
message: 'Get organization access with one click',
|
||||
action: 'Reconnect with Organizations'
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Component Design
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. OAuth Callback Handler (Electron Main Process)
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/github-oauth-handler.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Responsibilities:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Create temporary HTTP server on localhost
|
||||
- Handle OAuth callback requests
|
||||
- Validate state parameter (CSRF protection)
|
||||
- Exchange authorization code for access token
|
||||
- Store installation metadata
|
||||
- Notify renderer process of completion
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Functions:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class GitHubOAuthCallbackHandler {
|
||||
private server: http.Server | null = null;
|
||||
private port: number = 3000;
|
||||
private pendingAuth: Map<string, OAuthPendingAuth> = new Map();
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Start HTTP server to handle OAuth callbacks
|
||||
* Tries multiple ports if first is busy
|
||||
*/
|
||||
async startCallbackServer(): Promise<number>;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Handle incoming callback request
|
||||
* Validates state and exchanges code for token
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private async handleCallback(req: http.IncomingMessage, res: http.ServerResponse): Promise<void>;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Exchange authorization code for access token
|
||||
* Makes POST request to GitHub token endpoint
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private async exchangeCodeForToken(code: string): Promise<GitHubToken>;
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Stop callback server
|
||||
* Called after successful auth or timeout
|
||||
*/
|
||||
async stopCallbackServer(): Promise<void>;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Server Lifecycle:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Started when user clicks "Connect GitHub"
|
||||
2. Listens on `http://localhost:PORT/github/callback`
|
||||
3. Handles single callback request
|
||||
4. Automatically stops after success or 5-minute timeout
|
||||
|
||||
**Port Selection Strategy:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const PORTS_TO_TRY = [3000, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004];
|
||||
|
||||
for (const port of PORTS_TO_TRY) {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await server.listen(port);
|
||||
return port; // Success
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.code === 'EADDRINUSE') {
|
||||
continue; // Try next port
|
||||
}
|
||||
throw error; // Other error
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
throw new Error('No available ports for OAuth callback');
|
||||
```

### 3. Installation Metadata Storage
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/github/GitHubTokenStore.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Enhanced Storage Schema:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface StoredGitHubAuth {
|
||||
token: GitHubToken;
|
||||
user: GitHubUser;

### 4. UI Updates
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/components/GitProviderPopout/sections/CredentialsSection.tsx`
|
||||
|
||||
**Component Updates:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
export function CredentialsSection() {
|
||||
const [authState, setAuthState] = useState<GitHubAuthState | null>(null);
|
||||
const [isConnecting, setIsConnecting] = useState(false);
|
||||
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);
|
||||
|
||||
const handleConnect = async () => {
|
||||
setIsConnecting(true);
|
||||
setError(null);
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await GitHubAuth.startWebOAuthFlow((message) => {
|
||||
// Show progress
|
||||
console.log('[OAuth]', message);
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Refresh auth state
|
||||
const newState = GitHubAuth.getAuthState();
|
||||
setAuthState(newState);
|
||||
|
||||
// Show success message
|
||||
ToastLayer.showSuccess('Successfully connected to GitHub!');
|
||||
} catch (err) {
|
||||
setError(err.message);
|
||||
ToastLayer.showError(`Failed to connect: ${err.message}`);
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
setIsConnecting(false);
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<div className={css.credentials}>
|
||||
{!authState.isAuthenticated ? (
|
||||
<PrimaryButton onClick={handleConnect} disabled={isConnecting}>
|
||||
{isConnecting ? 'Connecting...' : 'Connect GitHub Account'}
|
||||
</PrimaryButton>
|
||||
) : (
|
||||
<GitHubConnectionStatus
|
||||
user={authState.username}
|
||||
installations={authState.installations}
|
||||
onDisconnect={handleDisconnect}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**New Component: GitHubConnectionStatus**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
interface GitHubConnectionStatusProps {
|
||||
user: string;
|
||||
installations?: GitHubInstallation[];
|
||||
onDisconnect: () => void;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function GitHubConnectionStatus({ user, installations, onDisconnect }: GitHubConnectionStatusProps) {
|
||||
const organizationCount = installations?.filter((i) => i.account.type === 'Organization').length || 0;
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<div className={css.connectionStatus}>
|
||||
<div className={css.connectedUser}>
|
||||
<Icon name="check-circle" color="success" />
|
||||
<span>Connected as {user}</span>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
{installations && installations.length > 0 && (
|
||||
<div className={css.installations}>
|
||||
<h4>Access granted to:</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
{installations.map((inst) => (
|

<span className={css.repoCount}>({inst.repositories.length} repos)</span>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</li>
|

))}
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
|
||||
<TextButton onClick={onDisconnect} variant="danger">
|
||||
Disconnect GitHub
|
||||
</TextButton>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Security Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### CSRF Protection (OAuth State Parameter)
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Generate cryptographically secure random state
|
||||
const state = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex'); // 64-character hex string
|
||||
|
||||
// Store state temporarily (in-memory, expires after 5 minutes)
|
||||
const pendingAuth = {
|
||||
state,
|
||||
timestamp: Date.now(),
|
||||
expiresAt: Date.now() + 300000 // 5 minutes
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
// Validate on callback
|
||||
if (receivedState !== pendingAuth.state) {
|
||||
throw new Error('Invalid OAuth state - possible CSRF attack');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (Date.now() > pendingAuth.expiresAt) {
|
||||
throw new Error('OAuth state expired - please try again');
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Client Secret Handling
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT store in code or config files!**
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended Approach:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Use Electron's safeStorage for production
|
||||
import { safeStorage } from 'electron';
|
||||
|
||||
// Development: environment variable
|
||||
const clientSecret =
|
||||
process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET || // Development
|
||||
safeStorage.decryptString(storedEncryptedSecret); // Production
|
||||
|
||||
// Never expose to renderer process
|
||||
// Main process only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Storage Encryption
|
||||
|
||||
**Already implemented in GitHubTokenStore:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const store = new Store({
|
||||
encryptionKey: 'opennoodl-github-credentials',
|
||||
name: 'github-auth'
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Categories
|
||||
|
||||
**1. User-Cancelled:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// User closes browser or denies permission
|
||||
if (callbackError?.error === 'access_denied') {
|
||||
showMessage('GitHub connection cancelled');
|
||||
// Don't show error - user intentionally cancelled
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Network Errors:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Timeout, connection refused, DNS failure
|
||||
catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.code === 'ETIMEDOUT' || error.code === 'ECONNREFUSED') {
|
||||
showError('Network error - check your internet connection');
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Invalid State/CSRF:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// State mismatch indicates potential attack
|
||||
if (receivedState !== expected State) {
|
||||
console.error('[Security] OAuth state mismatch - possible CSRF');
|
||||
showError('Security error - please try again');
|
||||
// Log security event
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Port Conflicts:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// All callback ports in use
|
||||
if (noPortsAvailable) {
|
||||
showError('Could not start OAuth server. Please close some applications and try again.', {
|
||||
details: 'Ports 3000-3004 are all in use'
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Callback Server Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
- **Start:** Only when user clicks "Connect" (not on app startup)
|
||||
- **Duration:** Active only during OAuth flow (max 5 minutes)
|
||||
- **Resources:** Minimal - single HTTP server, no persistent connections
|
||||
- **Cleanup:** Automatic shutdown after success or timeout
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Refresh
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Implementation:** Tokens don't expire (personal access tokens)
|
||||
|
||||
**Future Enhancement** (if using GitHub Apps with installation tokens):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Installation tokens expire after 1 hour
|
||||
if (isTokenExpired(token)) {
|
||||
const newToken = await refreshInstallationToken(installationId);
|
||||
GitHubTokenStore.saveToken(newToken, user);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
describe('GitHubOAuthCallbackHandler', () => {
|
||||
it('starts server on available port', async () => {
|
||||
const handler = new GitHubOAuthCallbackHandler();
|
||||
const port = await handler.startCallbackServer();
|
||||
expect(port).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(3000);
|
||||
await handler.stopCallbackServer();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
it('validates OAuth state correctly', () => {
|
||||
const expectedState = 'abc123';
|
||||
expect(() => handler.validateState('wrong', expectedState)).toThrow('Invalid OAuth state');
|
||||
expect(() => handler.validateState('abc123', expectedState)).not.toThrow();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
it('handles expired state', () => {
|
||||
const expiredAuth = {
|
||||
state: 'abc123',
|
||||
expiresAt: Date.now() - 1000 // Expired
|
||||
};
|
||||
expect(() => handler.validateState('abc123', expiredAuth)).toThrow('expired');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
describe('Web OAuth Flow', () => {
|
||||
it('completes full OAuth cycle', async () => {
|
||||
// Mock GitHub API responses
|
||||
nock('https://github.com').post('/login/oauth/access_token').reply(200, {
|
||||
access_token: 'test_token',
|
||||
token_type: 'bearer',
|
||||
scope: 'repo,user:email'
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await GitHubAuth.startWebOAuthFlow();
|
||||
expect(result.token).toBe('test_token');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Path
|
||||
|
||||
### Detect Auth Method
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const authState = GitHubAuth.getAuthState();
|
||||
|
||||
if (authState.authMethod === 'device_flow') {
|
||||
// Show upgrade prompt
|
||||
showUpgradeModal({
|
||||
title: 'Upgrade GitHub Connection',
|
||||
message:
|
||||
'Connect to organization repositories with our improved OAuth flow.\n\nYour current connection will continue to work, but we recommend upgrading for better organization support.',
|
||||
primaryAction: {
|
||||
label: 'Upgrade Now',
|
||||
onClick: async () => {
|
||||
await GitHubAuth.startWebOAuthFlow();
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
secondaryAction: {
|
||||
label: 'Maybe Later',
|
||||
onClick: () => {
|
||||
// Dismiss
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
