Populate receivedAmount from matched Remittance.total_paid

Before this change, every claim — matched or not — came back from
`/api/claims` with `receivedAmount: 0.0`. `to_ui_claim_from_orm`
hardcoded the value, so the Dashboard's 'Received' KPI and the
claim detail drawer's paid amount always read $0 regardless of
whether the claim had been paired with a paying remittance.

The fix threads the real value through the read path:

- `to_ui_claim_from_orm` accepts a new `received_total: float`
  kwarg (default 0.0 for callers that don't have a remittance in
  scope).
- `iter_claims` bulk-loads `Remittance.total_paid` for every
  matched claim id in the result set (single SQL roundtrip via
  `IN` filter — no N+1) and stamps the sum onto each claim dict.
- `manual_match` passes `float(remit.total_paid)` from the remit
  it's already holding.
- `manual_unmatch` reads `paired_remit.total_paid` before clearing
  the FK so the response still reports what was paid pre-unpair.
- `add` (write path) and `list_unmatched` (filters matched-remit
  is NULL) pass `0.0` explicitly for readability.

The dev seed CLI now also generates matched Remittance rows for
every PAID/PARTIAL claim — `matched_remittance_id` is set on the
claim, and the remittance's `total_paid` is derived from the
billed amount using the same ratios the frontend's old sample
fixtures used (60–100% for PAID, 20–50% for PARTIAL). That gives
the Dashboard a non-zero 'Received' KPI on a fresh dev DB.

New tests:
- tests/test_iter_claims_received.py — 4 cases covering matched,
  unmatched, orphan FK, and bulk-load paths. Catches regressions
  if anyone re-introduces the hardcoded 0.0 or breaks the bulk
  query.

+## Authentication
+
+Cyclone ships with username/password authentication and three predefined roles.
+
+**Roles:**
+
+| Role     | Can read | Can write (upload, parse, reconcile) | Can manage users |
+| -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
+| `viewer` | ✅       | ❌                                   | ❌               |
+| `user`   | ✅       | ✅                                   | ❌               |
+| `admin`  | ✅       | ✅                                   | ✅               |
+
+**Bootstrap.** On first start, set `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME` and
+`CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` (min 12 chars) in your environment. Cyclone creates the
+first admin automatically. On subsequent starts these env vars are ignored, so
+rotating the bootstrap password doesn't affect an already-seeded admin — use the
+CLI below to reset it. When running via `docker compose`, both vars are
+required: compose refuses to start with a clear error if either is missing.
+
+**CLI.** Manage users from the command line:
+
+```
+python -m cyclone users create alice --role user --password 'hunter2hunter2'
+python -m cyclone users list
+python -m cyclone users disable alice
+python -m cyclone users reset-password alice
+python -m cyclone users set-role alice --role admin
+```
+
+**Login.** Browse to `http://localhost:5173` (dev) or `http://localhost:8081`
+(Docker), sign in on the `/login` page, and you'll be redirected to the
+dashboard. Sessions are stored server-side in SQLite with a 24-hour sliding
+expiry — every authenticated request refreshes the TTL, so an active user
+never gets logged out.
+
+**Dev escape hatch.** Set `CYCLONE_AUTH_DISABLED=1` to bypass auth entirely
+(the backend auto-grants admin on every request). **NEVER set this in
+production** — it's a single env-var trip from wide-open to the public
+internet. The Docker compose file does not honor this flag.
+
+See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-cyclone-auth-design.md` for the full
+design.

+"""CLI subcommand: ``python -m cyclone users ...``.
+
+Click-based to match the existing parse-837 / parse-835 convention in
+``cyclone.cli``. Provides operator-side user management without going
+through the admin HTTP API.
+
+Subcommands
+-----------
+
+- ``users create USERNAME --role {admin,user,viewer} [--password PW]``
+  Create a user. If ``--password`` is omitted, prompts (with
+  confirmation) on the controlling terminal.
+- ``users list`` — tab-separated ``id / username / role / state``.
+- ``users disable USERNAME`` — set ``disabled_at`` to now.
+- ``users reset-password USERNAME [--password PW]`` — replace the hash.
+- ``users set-role USERNAME --role {admin,user,viewer}`` — change role.
+
+Exit codes
+----------
+
+* 0 — success
+* 1 — validation error (unknown username, duplicate username)
+* 2 — usage error (missing arg, bad role, short password, unknown
+  subcommand). Click itself uses 2 for usage errors so the conventional
+  shell tools (``set -e``, etc.) recognize them.
+
+Passwords shorter than 12 chars are rejected everywhere they appear.

+"""CLI subcommand: ``python -m cyclone seed``.
+
+Populates the local DB with a deterministic batch of sample claims
+plus matching activity events, so the Dashboard / Claims / Activity
+Log pages have something to render in a fresh dev environment.
+
+This is a dev-only convenience — the production DB never sees this
+command (no ``[env: dev]`` gate, but it's never wired into any
+container image). It writes rows with a recognizable batch id prefix
+(``SEED-``) so ``--reset`` can clean them up without touching real
+ingested data.
+
+Why the data shape is hand-rolled here
+--------------------------------------
+
+The ``Claim`` ORM table stores its billing_provider / payer /
+subscriber / service_lines payloads in a ``raw_json`` blob that the
+read path (``store.to_ui_claim_from_orm``) parses back into the UI
+shape. Mirroring the 837 parser's structure keeps the UI rendering
+identical to a real ingestion — wire format parity, not shortcuts.
+
+Activity rows are similar: ``payload_json`` carries the message
+string the Dashboard's activity card shows.
+
+Subcommands
+-----------
+
+``python -m cyclone seed``              — insert the default batch.
+``python -m cyclone seed --count N``    — insert N claims (default 96).
+``python -m cyclone seed --reset``      — wipe previously-seeded rows
+                                          first, then insert a fresh batch.
+``python -m cyclone seed --status``     — print row counts without
+                                          inserting anything.
+
+Exit codes
+----------
+
+* 0 — success (or already seeded and not asked to reset).
+* 1 — DB error during insert.
+* 2 — usage error (bad flag value).
+
+The command is idempotent: re-running without ``--reset`` is a no-op
+once a seed batch exists. This keeps ``cyclone``-driven boot scripts
+safe to re-run.

+# Cyclone Auth (admin / user / viewer) — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-22
+**Status:** Draft (pending user review)
+**Scope:** Adds username/password authentication and three predefined roles (admin, user, viewer) to the existing Cyclone FastAPI backend and React frontend. Browser-based login form, server-side SQLite sessions, HttpOnly cookie, role-gated endpoints. Single-machine deployment; no external IdP.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Cyclone currently has no authentication. The README states the system is "local-only on purpose: binds to `127.0.0.1`, no auth, no internet exposure. Built for one operator, one machine." That was true for the original single-operator design, but the system is now being prepared for production deployment where multiple humans will share the box (a clearinghouse operator, billing staff, and read-only auditors).
+
+This sub-project adds the minimum viable role-based access control:
+- A `/login` page that posts username + password to the backend.
+- Server-side sessions in SQLite, keyed by an HttpOnly cookie.
+- Three predefined roles — `admin`, `user`, `viewer` — with a static permission matrix.
+- An admin-only user-management surface so the first admin can create other accounts.
+- All existing endpoints get a `current_user` dependency; write-affording endpoints get a `require_role` gate.
+
+After this, an operator can:
+1. Start the stack with `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=...` (or use a CLI command) so the first admin account is created on first boot.
+2. Open `http://localhost:8081/`, get redirected to `/login`, sign in.
+3. Browse the Dashboard, Claims, Remittances, etc. as a `user` or `viewer`.
+4. As `admin`, visit a new Users page to create accounts, change roles, disable users, and reset passwords.
+
+## 2. Goals
+
+1. **Authenticate every API request.** Every existing endpoint under `/api/*` returns 401 unless a valid session cookie is present. The only unauthenticated paths are `/api/healthz` (declared before any auth dependency in `cyclone.api`) and `POST /api/auth/login` itself.
+2. **Three predefined roles with a static permission matrix.** `admin` = everything including user management. `user` = read + write on claims/remits/batches/reconciliation + uploads. `viewer` = read-only — no uploads, no state changes.
+3. **Server-side sessions in SQLite.** New `users` and `sessions` tables. 24-hour sliding expiry. HttpOnly cookie named `cyclone_session`.
+4. **Bootstrap the first admin.** If `users` table is empty on startup, read `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME` / `CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` env vars and create the first admin. If those env vars are also missing, refuse to start with a clear error message.
+5. **Frontend `/login` route + auth context.** `AuthProvider` loads `/api/auth/me` on mount, redirects to `/login` on 401, restores the user on reload. Sidebar shows the real current user instead of the hardcoded "Jordan K.".
+6. **Disable write-affording UI for `viewer`.** Upload, parse, resubmit, acknowledge, reconcile buttons render disabled with a tooltip when the role lacks permission. Server still gates as the source of truth — disabling the UI is a UX nicety.
+7. **Audit log includes the acting user.** The existing `audit_log` table (SP11) gets a `user_id` column on a new migration; entries record the user that triggered each event.
+8. **CLI command for user management.** `python -m cyclone users create <username> --role admin --password ...` works as an alternative to the admin UI for ops.
+
+## 3. Non-goals (this sub-project)
+
+- **LDAP / SAML / OIDC.** No external identity providers. Auth is local-only — credentials live in the SQLite `users` table.
+- **Password reset emails / "forgot password" flow.** Admins reset passwords via the admin UI or CLI. There is no self-service flow.
+- **Multi-factor authentication (MFA / TOTP).** Username + password is the only factor.
+- **Per-resource ACLs / per-claim visibility.** The role applies globally. There is no concept of "this user can only see claims for provider X".
+- **Account lockout after N failed attempts.** We rate-limit per username (5 fails per 5 min) but never permanently lock the account.
+- **Cross-device session sync / "see my active sessions" UI.** Sessions are opaque cookie values; the admin UI shows the user list, not their sessions.
+- **Branding / SSO.** Out of scope.
+
+## 4. Stack
+
+**Backend additions:**
+- New module `cyclone.auth` (`users`, `sessions`, `permissions`, `routes`, `admin`, `deps`, `rate_limit`).
+- `passlib[bcrypt]` for password hashing (industry standard, slow on purpose).
+- `secrets.token_urlsafe(32)` for session IDs (256 bits of entropy).
+- SQLAlchemy ORM (already in use) — new `User` and `Session` models on the same `cyclone.db.Base`.
+- Migration `0015_users_and_sessions.py` creates both tables.
+- FastAPI dependency injection for `get_current_user` and `require_role`.
+
+**Frontend additions:**
+- New `src/auth/` module: `AuthProvider` context, `useAuth` hook, `RoleGate` component, fetch wrapper that handles 401.
+- New `/login` page (`src/pages/Login.tsx`).
+- No new build tools; the existing Vite + React + react-query stack stays.
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+- nginx `proxy_cookie_path /api/ /;` so the session cookie path survives the frontend → backend reverse proxy.
+- `docker-compose.yml` adds `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME` and `CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` env vars to the backend service.
+- Backend image installs `passlib[bcrypt]`.

+```
+
+**Data flow on login:**
+1. User opens `/login` (the SPA redirects there on first visit because `/api/auth/me` returned 401).
+2. User submits `{username, password}` → `POST /api/auth/login`.
+3. Backend rate-limit check: if username has ≥5 failed logins in the last 5 min, return 429 with `Retry-After`.
+4. Backend looks up user by username. If not found OR `bcrypt.verify(password, password_hash)` fails, increment the rate-limit counter and return 401 `{error: "invalid_credentials"}`. The error message is generic so it doesn't leak whether the username exists.
+5. If user.disabled_at is not None, return 403 `{error: "account_disabled"}`.
+6. Create a `sessions` row: `id = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)`, `user_id`, `expires_at = now() + 24h`.
+7. Set `Set-Cookie: cyclone_session=<id>; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax; Path=/api; Max-Age=86400` (also `Secure` when behind HTTPS — detected via `request.url.scheme` or a `BEHIND_HTTPS=1` env var).
+8. Return `200 {id, username, role, createdAt}`.
+
+**Data flow on a normal request:**
+1. Browser sends request with `Cookie: cyclone_session=<id>`.
+2. FastAPI middleware / dependency reads the cookie, looks up `sessions` row by `id`.
+3. If missing, expired (`expires_at < now`), or user is disabled → raise `HTTPException(401, "session_expired")`.
+4. Otherwise, attach `User` to `request.state.user`. The `get_current_user` dependency returns it.
+5. For endpoints with `Depends(require_role("admin"))`, check `user.role == "admin"`; else raise `HTTPException(403, "forbidden")`.
+
+**Data flow on logout:**
+1. SPA sends `POST /api/auth/logout`.
+2. Backend deletes the `sessions` row matching the cookie's id.
+3. Backend sets `Set-Cookie: cyclone_session=; Max-Age=0` to clear the cookie.
+4. SPA's `AuthProvider` clears its state and navigates to `/login`.
+
+**Sliding expiry:**
+Every successful authenticated request refreshes `sessions.expires_at = now() + 24h` (cheap UPDATE) **and** re-emits the `Set-Cookie` header with a fresh `Max-Age=86400`. Without re-emitting the cookie, the browser would log the user out after 24h regardless of activity (because the original cookie's Max-Age expires). With this loop, an active user stays logged in indefinitely; an inactive user is logged out 24h after their last request.
+
+## 6. Backend changes
+
+### 6.1 New module `backend/src/cyclone/auth/`
+
+```
+auth/
+├── __init__.py        # re-exports the public API
+├── users.py           # User model, CRUD, bcrypt hashing
+├── sessions.py        # Session model, create/validate/expire
+├── permissions.py     # Role enum, permission matrix
+├── deps.py            # get_current_user, require_role

+├── admin.py           # /api/admin/users/*  (admin-only)
+└── rate_limit.py      # per-username failed-login counter
+```
+
+### 6.2 Data model
+
+New SQLAlchemy models in `cyclone.db`:
+
+```python
+class User(Base):
+    __tablename__ = "users"
+    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
+    username: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(64), unique=True, index=True)
+    password_hash: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255))
+    role: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(16))   # "admin" | "user" | "viewer"
+    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime(timezone=True))
+    disabled_at: Mapped[datetime | None] = mapped_column(DateTime(timezone=True), nullable=True)
+
+
+class Session(Base):
+    __tablename__ = "sessions"
+    id: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(64), primary_key=True)  # token_urlsafe(32)
+    user_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("users.id"), index=True)
+    expires_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime(timezone=True), index=True)
+    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime(timezone=True))
+```
+
+Migration `0015_users_and_sessions.py` creates both tables and adds indexes on `users.username`, `sessions.expires_at`, `sessions.user_id`.
+
+Migration `0016_audit_log_user_id.py` adds `user_id INT NULL` to the existing `audit_log` table (SP11's hash-chained audit log).
+
+### 6.3 Permissions matrix
+
+`cyclone/auth/permissions.py`:
+
+```python
+from enum import Enum
+
+class Role(str, Enum):
+    ADMIN = "admin"
+    USER = "user"
+    VIEWER = "viewer"
+
+
+# Endpoint path prefix → set of roles allowed.
+PERMISSIONS: dict[str, set[Role]] = {
+    # Public paths (no auth required). Empty set = anyone, including unauthenticated.
+    "GET  /api/healthz":           set(),

+    "POST /api/parse-837":         {Role.ADMIN, Role.USER},
+    "POST /api/parse-835":         {Role.ADMIN, Role.USER},

+    # ...every other POST/PATCH/DELETE goes here too.
+
+    # CSV export — read-only, so all roles.
+    "GET /api/export.csv":         {Role.ADMIN, Role.USER, Role.VIEWER},
+}
+```
+
+The `require_role` dependency reads `(method, path)` from the request and looks up the allowed roles. Endpoints not in the matrix default to **deny** — fail-closed.
+

+```
+
+### 6.5 Endpoints
+
+**Auth (`cyclone/auth/routes.py`):**
+
+| Method | Path | Auth | Body | Response |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| POST | `/api/auth/login` | public | `{username, password}` | `200 {id, username, role, createdAt}` + Set-Cookie |
+| POST | `/api/auth/logout` | session | — | `204` + cookie cleared |
+| GET | `/api/auth/me` | session | — | `200 {id, username, role, createdAt}` |
+
+**Admin (`cyclone/auth/admin.py`):**
+
+| Method | Path | Auth | Body | Response |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/admin/users` | admin | — | `200 [{id, username, role, createdAt, disabledAt}]` |

+| PATCH | `/api/admin/users/{id}` | admin | `{role?, password?, disabled?}` | `200 {id, username, role, createdAt, disabledAt}` |
+| DELETE | `/api/admin/users/{id}` | admin | — | `204` (only if user has no authored data; otherwise 409) |
+
+**Error shapes:**
+
+```json
+// 401
+{ "error": "session_expired", "detail": "Session is missing or expired." }
+// 403
+{ "error": "forbidden", "detail": "Your role lacks permission for this action." }

+// Login 401 (generic — never leak username existence)
+{ "error": "invalid_credentials", "detail": "Username or password is incorrect." }
+```
+
+### 6.6 Rate limit
+
+In-memory dict in `rate_limit.py`:
+
+```python
+_FAILS: dict[str, list[float]] = {}  # username → [timestamp, ...] of recent fails
+WINDOW_SECONDS = 300
+MAX_FAILS = 5
+
+def check(username: str) -> int:
+    """Return Retry-After seconds, or 0 if allowed."""
+    now = time.monotonic()
+    fails = [t for t in _FAILS.get(username, []) if now - t < WINDOW_SECONDS]
+    if len(fails) >= MAX_FAILS:
+        return int(WINDOW_SECONDS - (now - fails[0]))
+    return 0
+
+def record_failure(username: str) -> None:
+    _FAILS.setdefault(username, []).append(time.monotonic())
+
+def reset(username: str) -> None:
+    _FAILS.pop(username, None)
+```
+
+Per-process. Resets on backend restart. Acceptable for v1.
+
+### 6.7 Bootstrap (first admin)
+
+In `cyclone/__main__.py`, before `uvicorn.run(...)`:
+
+```python
+async def bootstrap_admin():
+    async with SessionLocal() as db:
+        if await db.scalar(select(func.count()).select_from(User)) > 0:
+            return
+        username = os.environ.get("CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME")
+        password = os.environ.get("CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD")
+        if not username or not password:
+            raise RuntimeError(
+                "Cyclone has no users yet. Set CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME and "
+                "CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD env vars, or run "
+                "`python -m cyclone users create <username> --role admin` first."
+            )
+        if len(password) < 12:
+            raise RuntimeError("CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD must be at least 12 characters.")
+        await users.create(db, username=username, password=password, role=Role.ADMIN)
+        print(f"[cyclone] bootstrap admin user '{username}' created")
+```
+
+### 6.8 CLI command
+
+`python -m cyclone users ...`:
+
+```
+python -m cyclone users create <username> --role {admin|user|viewer} [--password <pw>]
+python -m cyclone users list
+python -m cyclone users disable <username>
+python -m cyclone users reset-password <username> [--password <pw>]
+python -m cyclone users set-role <username> --role {admin|user|viewer}
+```
+
+If `--password` is omitted, the CLI prompts interactively (no echo). On Windows / non-tty, refuse and require `--password` from env to avoid accidental empty-password accounts.
+
+## 7. Frontend changes
+
+### 7.1 New module `src/auth/`
+
+```
+auth/
+├── AuthProvider.tsx       # React context + reducer
+├── AuthProvider.test.tsx
+├── useAuth.ts             # hook: {user, login, logout, status}
+├── api.ts                 # fetch wrapper that handles 401
+├── RoleGate.tsx           # disables children when role not allowed
+└── RoleGate.test.tsx
+```
+
+### 7.2 AuthProvider
+
+```typescript
+// AuthProvider.tsx (sketch)
+type Status = "loading" | "authenticated" | "unauthenticated";
+
+interface AuthState {
+  status: Status;
+  user: User | null;
+}
+
+const AuthContext = createContext<AuthState & { login, logout }>(...);
+
+export function AuthProvider({ children }) {
+  const [state, setState] = useState<AuthState>({ status: "loading", user: null });
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    api.getAuthMe()
+      .then(user => setState({ status: "authenticated", user }))
+      .catch(err => {
+        if (err.status === 401) setState({ status: "unauthenticated", user: null });
+        else setState({ status: "unauthenticated", user: null }); // network errors also treat as logged out
+      });
+  }, []);
+
+  // Expose login() that POSTs /api/auth/login + sets state on success.
+  // Expose logout() that POSTs /api/auth/logout + clears state + nav to /login.
+}
+```
+
+### 7.3 Login page
+
+`src/pages/Login.tsx`:
+- Centered card on the existing dark background, ~400px wide.
+- Username + password fields, "Sign in" button, error message slot.
+- On submit: POST `/api/auth/login`, on success → `useNavigate()/<prev>` or `/`.
+- On `401 invalid_credentials` → "Username or password is incorrect."
+- On `403 account_disabled` → "Account is disabled. Contact your administrator."
+- On `429 rate_limited` → "Too many attempts. Try again in N seconds." (N from `Retry-After`).
+- The page renders *without* the sidebar — it lives outside the protected `<Layout>`.
+
+### 7.4 API wrapper
+
+`src/auth/api.ts` re-exports the existing `lib/api.ts` but wraps `fetch` so any 401 response:
+1. Calls `POST /api/auth/logout` (best-effort, ignore failure).
+2. Clears the auth context.
+3. `window.location.href = "/login?next=" + encodeURIComponent(currentPath)`.
+
+Use a hard navigation (not `<Navigate>`) so the SPA's in-memory state is wiped.
+
+### 7.5 RoleGate
+
+```tsx
+// RoleGate.tsx
+interface Props {
+  allow: Role[];
+  children: ReactNode;
+  fallback?: ReactNode;       // optional explicit "no permission" UI
+}
+
+export function RoleGate({ allow, children, fallback }: Props) {
+  const { user } = useAuth();
+  if (!user) return null;
+  if (allow.includes(user.role)) return <>{children}</>;
+  if (fallback) return <>{fallback}</>;
+  return (
+    <Tooltip content={`Your role (${user.role}) cannot perform this action.`}>
+      <span className="pointer-events-none opacity-50">{children}</span>
+    </Tooltip>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Applied at the call sites — e.g. wrap the Upload dropzone, the Parse button, the Resubmit button, the Acknowledge action, the Reconcile "match" button.
+
+### 7.6 Sidebar
+
+`src/components/Sidebar.tsx` — replace the hardcoded "Jordan K. / Administrator" block with `<CurrentUser />` which reads `useAuth()`. Shows the user's actual username + role.
+
+### 7.7 Routes
+
+`src/main.tsx`:
+- `QueryClientProvider`
+- `AuthProvider`
+- `<BrowserRouter>` with two route groups:
+  - **Public:** `/login` (no `<Layout>` wrap).
+  - **Protected:** everything else, wrapped in a `<RequireAuth>` guard that waits for `AuthProvider.status === "loading"` to resolve, then renders `<Outlet />` or `<Navigate to="/login" />`.
+
+### 7.8 react-query keys
+
+`useAuth()` itself is not stored in react-query (it's a long-lived auth state, not a query). Existing query keys (`['claims', ...]`, etc.) are unchanged. On logout, the app does a hard reload to `/login` which wipes all react-query state.
+
+## 8. Infrastructure
+
+### 8.1 nginx (`frontend/nginx.conf`)
+
+The existing nginx config already proxies `/api/*` to the backend. With cookie-based auth, the only requirement is that the cookie's `Path` matches a prefix of the request URL the browser sends. We set `Path=/api` on the cookie (matching the proxied path), and the browser sends it automatically on every `/api/*` request to the frontend nginx — no `proxy_cookie_path` rewrite needed.
+
+We do add `proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;` so the backend can detect when it's behind HTTPS and emit the `Secure` cookie flag.
+
+### 8.2 docker-compose.yml
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  backend:
+    environment:
+      CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME: ${CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME:?set me}
+      CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD: ${CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD:?set me}
+      # CYCLONE_BEHIND_HTTPS=1   # uncomment if behind an HTTPS reverse proxy
+```
+
+A `.env.example` documents the required vars.
+
+### 8.3 Cookie `Secure` flag
+
+Detected at request time: if `request.url.scheme == "https"` OR `os.environ.get("CYCLONE_BEHIND_HTTPS") == "1"`, the cookie gets `Secure`. This lets the same binary work in dev (`http://localhost`) and prod (HTTPS in front of nginx).
+
+## 9. Testing
+
+### 9.1 Backend (`backend/tests/`)
+
+| File | Coverage |
+|---|---|
+| `test_auth_users.py` | bcrypt hash/verify round-trip; create/get/disable; password never returned in any response shape; username uniqueness; role must be one of the enum |
+| `test_auth_sessions.py` | create/validate/expire; expired session is rejected; cookie attrs (HttpOnly, Path, Max-Age) on the login response |
+| `test_auth_routes.py` | login success path returns 200 + cookie; login with bad password returns 401 with `invalid_credentials`; login with disabled user returns 403; logout deletes the session row + clears cookie; /me with valid cookie returns user; /me with no cookie returns 401 |
+| `test_auth_permissions.py` | for each role × each endpoint, assert the right HTTP code (200/401/403); fail-closed: endpoints not in the matrix return 403 |
+| `test_auth_admin.py` | admin can GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE users; non-admin gets 403 on every /api/admin/* path; admin cannot delete themselves (409); admin cannot demote themselves below admin (409) |
+| `test_auth_bootstrap.py` | empty users + env vars → admin created; empty users + missing env vars → backend refuses to start; non-empty users → env vars ignored |
+| `test_auth_login_rate_limit.py` | 5 failed logins OK, 6th returns 429 with Retry-After; counter resets after window; successful login resets the counter |
+| `test_audit_log_user_id.py` | existing audit-log entries get NULL user_id (back-compat); new entries after auth lands record the acting user's id |
+| `test_existing_endpoints_require_auth.py` | spot-check 10 existing endpoints (claims GET, parse-837 POST, etc.) all return 401 without a cookie |
+
+### 9.2 Frontend (`src/**/__tests__/`)
+
+| File | Coverage |
+|---|---|
+| `src/auth/AuthProvider.test.tsx` | /me on mount populates user; 401 from /me leaves user null; login() POSTs and updates state; logout() POSTs and clears state |
+| `src/auth/RoleGate.test.tsx` | renders children for allowed role; renders disabled-with-tooltip for disallowed role; renders fallback when provided |
+| `src/pages/Login.test.tsx` | form submits with username/password; error message on 401; redirect to `next` query param on success; rate-limit message on 429 |
+| `src/lib/api.test.ts` (extended) | fetch wrapper hard-navigates to `/login` on 401; passes through on other statuses |
+
+### 9.3 End-to-end
+
+`/tmp/verify_auth.py` (Playwright) — login with seeded admin, verify dashboard renders, verify viewer cannot see Upload dropzone enabled, verify viewer clicking Upload sees a disabled state with tooltip.
+
+## 10. Risk + open questions
+
+- **Cookie path rewriting is fragile.** If a future deployment puts the API at a different prefix than `/api/`, the `proxy_cookie_path` will need to change. Documented in the README.
+- **The audit-log migration (0016) is technically out of scope** for "add auth" — but the user said "I want admin, user, viewer. or something like that" and not seeing *who* did *what* in the audit log is a half-measure. Include it.
+- **The CLI command on Windows** will need to handle non-tty differently from Linux/macOS. Stubbed: require `--password` from env on non-tty platforms.
+- **No logout-everywhere UI.** If an admin wants to invalidate all sessions for a user, they currently have to wait for sessions to expire or wipe the `sessions` table directly. Acceptable for v1; admin can `DELETE FROM sessions WHERE user_id = ?` from `sqlite3 /data/cyclone.db` if urgent.
+
+## 11. Rollout
+
+- All code lands in one PR (sub-project is small enough).
+- Migrations 0015 + 0016 ship together; both are backwards-compatible (additive).
+- The Docker image rebuilds pick up `passlib[bcrypt]` automatically.
+- `README.md` gets a new "Auth" section explaining env vars, the bootstrap admin, the CLI command, and the role matrix.
+- Auth applies everywhere once enabled — both the Docker deployment (`http://localhost:8081`) and the Vite dev server (`http://localhost:5173`, which proxies `/api/*` to the backend on port 8000). Operators who want to disable auth in dev can set `CYCLONE_AUTH_DISABLED=1` env var; the bootstrap function is a no-op when this is set, and the `get_current_user` dependency returns a synthetic admin user. This is purely a developer-experience escape hatch — production deployments leave it unset.
