Replaces every stale 'no auth' / 'no authentication' / 'no second party to
authenticate' claim in the three top-level docs with the v1 posture: the
auth boundary is HTTP (bcrypt + HttpOnly session cookie; first admin
bootstrapped from CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME + CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD env
vars); the file-system posture (SQLCipher at rest, macOS Keychain) is
unchanged; the threat model is still a stolen/imaged drive.
Closes requirements §11 R-1 (was Open; now Closed by SP24 — auth shipped
via the origin/main merge on 2026-06-23, SP24 reconciled the docs).
Also:
- backend/src/cyclone/__main__.py — emit WARNING when AUTH_DISABLED is
True at boot so a misconfigured production deploy fails loudly
- §6.1 migrations table in ARCHITECTURE.md — list 0013 (auth_users_and_
sessions) and 0014 (audit_log_user_id) with the renumbering note
- §4.2 module map — add the cyclone.auth.* package
- Three skills addenda: cyclone-tests (AUTH_DISABLED conftest bypass is
mandatory context), cyclone-api-router (every router needs
Depends(matrix_gate)), cyclone-spec (spec template threat-model is now
auth-aware)
This also tracks CLAUDE.md in git for the first time (was previously
untracked; the SP24 doc updates are in scope for the increment).
Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-23-cyclone-auth-posture-alignment-design.md
Plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-23-cyclone-auth-posture-alignment.md
The auth-merge that landed on 2026-06-23 (14 commits, a25504b..39ae988)
adds real auth: User/Session models, bcrypt, matrix_gate, AUTH_DISABLED,
a login router, RBAC on every existing endpoint, and a RequireAuth
guard on the React shell. But CLAUDE.md, docs/REQUIREMENTS.md, and
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (all added/updated on the css-reduction branch)
still describe the pre-auth "no auth, local-only, single operator,
single host" posture. The doc/code divergence is real and would
confuse anyone reading the docs.
This is the spec for SP24 — the alignment. It is intentionally a
docs/skills-only SP: no schema, no role, no gate changes. The plan
section enumerates the doc lines to update; the implementation step
sweeps the markdown for residual "no auth" claims.
Draft, awaiting user sign-off per the SP-N spec flow.
