# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase07-session03-hosted-identity-and-authorization-guardrails` **Package**: Cross-cutting (`apps/server`, `apps/web`, `packages/protocol`; docs) **Status**: Complete - updateprd complete **Started**: 2026-05-30 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 **Duration**: 3-4 hours

## Overview

Session 03 defined the hosted identity and authorization guardrails for Phase 07 without enabling production hosted auth. The work established shared planned-state identity vocabulary, a redacted local diagnostics route, browser copy helpers, and stable doc updates that keep room-local Worker authority from being described as hosted account identity, SSO, organization membership, or production audit proof.

The session stayed local-first. The cockpit continues to work without hosted accounts, OAuth, Supabase, hosted storage, analytics, public replay hosting, push, or remote access.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Protocol-first contract ownership**: Shared hosted identity vocabulary lives in `packages/protocol` so server and web consumers cannot drift on the meaning of planned or unavailable states.
2. **Redacted diagnostics only**: The server route reports posture labels, docs paths, and requirement counts without emitting raw account, OAuth, or authority values.

***

## Test Results

| Metric   | Value        |
| -------- | ------------ |
| Tests    | 2127 total   |
| Passed   | 2126         |
| Coverage | Not reported |

Focused hosted identity checks passed for protocol, server, and web helpers:

* `npm test -- packages/protocol/tests/hostedIdentity.test.ts apps/server/tests/hostedIdentityDiagnostics.test.ts apps/web/tests/hostedIdentity.test.ts`
* Result: 14 passed, 0 failed

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Planned-state identity wording needs to live beside the runtime contracts so the docs, tests, and diagnostics stay aligned.
2. Negative-claim tests are the most reliable guardrail for keeping Worker authority from being mistaken for hosted account identity.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Define hosted persistence and public replay guardrails without broadening the identity surface.
2. Keep release-phase validation, trusted erasure, and production-hosted checks in later Phase 07 and Phase 08 work.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase07-session03-hosted-identity-and-authorization-guardrails/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
