manual smoke surfaced the bug: the callback wrote the session and
set the portal_session cookie correctly, but the spa's next /me call
came back 401 with no cookie header at all.
root cause: angular's HttpClient via withFetch() inherits fetch's
default `credentials: 'same-origin'`. localhost:4200 → localhost:3000
is cross-origin (different ports), so the session cookie is dropped
on the way out — the bff never sees it. samesite=lax was a red
herring: localhost:4200 and localhost:3000 share the registrable
domain, so the cookie is still same-site; what was missing was
opting the fetch into credentials.
fix is per-call: only /me needs cookies today. login/logout are
full-page navigations through window.location, which the browser
hydrates with cookies regardless. a global HttpInterceptor will land
when other authenticated bff endpoints exist — premature for one
consumer.
bff side was already wired: enableCors({ credentials: true }) in
main.ts. nothing to change there.
a spec pins withCredentials=true on the /me request so a future
refactor can't silently drop the flag and reintroduce the bug.
Documentation index
This is the entry point to all project documentation. It is maintained automatically: any addition, rename, or removal of a .md file under docs/ must be reflected here in the same change.
Conventions
- Documentation is written in English.
- One topic per file. Group related files into a folder when there are three or more.
- Cross-reference with relative links so they keep working in GitHub, IDEs, and exported sites.
- For architectural decisions, do not add them here — they belong in decisions/ as MADR 4.0.0 ADRs.
Sections
Daily development
- development.md — repo layout, prerequisites, initial setup, daily commands, observability dev-loop (Jaeger UI, log ↔ trace correlation), dependency updates (Renovate), conventional commit cycle. Day-to-day reference for working on the project.
Architecture
- architecture.md — cross-cutting Mermaid diagrams: C4 system context, C4 containers, Nx module boundaries, CI/CD pipeline. Single-decision diagrams (auth sequence, ERD, etc.) live inline in their ADR.
Onboarding & environment
Setup guides for new contributors:
- setup/01-wsl-terminal-setup.md — modern WSL terminal (Zsh + Powerlevel10k + CLI tools)
- setup/02-dev-web-stack.md — Node via nvm, pnpm via corepack, Docker
- setup/03-angular-nx-monorepo.md — Angular + Nx monorepo bootstrap
Operations & runbooks
Empty — to be populated when we deploy.
Security, performance, accessibility
Empty — placeholders to be filled with rationale docs alongside their corresponding ADRs.
