Add the Kiro-style agentic SDLC tooling used to drive this project: the
.opencode/skills/kiro-* skill set (discovery, spec init/requirements/design/
tasks, validation, implementation, review, steering), the .kiro/settings
templates, and AGENTS.md describing the workflow. Update the spec docs
(assessment/design/requirements/tasks) to current state.

Scope tests/test_opencode_skills.py to the project's own openultrasast-*
skills so the third-party kiro-* tooling (which uses a different frontmatter
convention) no longer breaks the frontmatter check.

Authentication & Authorization Standards

[Purpose: unify auth model, token/session lifecycle, permission checks, and security]

Philosophy

  • Clear separation: authentication (who) vs authorization (what)
  • Secure by default: least privilege, fail closed, short-lived tokens
  • UX-aware: friction where risk is high, smooth otherwise

Authentication

Method (choose + rationale)

  • Options: JWT, Session, OAuth2, hybrid
  • Choice: [our method] because [reason]

Flow (high-level)

1) User proves identity (credentials or provider)
2) Server verifies and issues token/session
3) Client sends token per request
4) Server verifies token and proceeds

Token/Session Lifecycle

  • Storage: httpOnly cookie or Authorization header
  • Expiration: short-lived access, longer refresh (if used)
  • Refresh: rotate tokens; respect revocation
  • Revocation: blacklist/rotate on logout/compromise

Security Pattern

  • Enforce TLS; never expose tokens to JS when avoidable
  • Bind token to audience/issuer; include minimal claims
  • Consider device binding and IP/risk checks for sensitive actions

Authorization

Permission Model

  • Choose one: RBAC / ABAC / ownership-based / hybrid
  • Define roles/attributes centrally; avoid hardcoding across codebase

Checks (where to enforce)

  • Route/middleware: coarse-grained gate
  • Domain/service: fine-grained decisions
  • UI: conditional rendering (no security reliance)

Example pattern:

requirePermission('resource:action'); // route
if (!user.can('resource:action')) throw ForbiddenError(); // domain

Ownership

  • Pattern: owner OR privileged role can act
  • Verify on entity boundary before mutation

Passwords & MFA

  • Passwords: strong policy, hashed (bcrypt/argon2), never plaintext
  • Reset: time-limited token, single-use, notify user
  • MFA: step-up for risky operations (policy-driven)

API-to-API Auth

  • Use API keys or OAuth client credentials
  • Scope keys minimally; rotate and audit usage
  • Rate limit by identity (user/key)

Focus on patterns and decisions. No library-specific code.
