Note

Third of five stacked PRs. Targets connect-client (#1570). Review that one first.

Overview of Problem

A browser session has to outlive one command. That means storing the token pair, renewing it before it expires, surviving the refresh races a flows run with several workers causes, and deciding where the session sits against an API key.

This PR adds storage and renewal, and wires qawolf auth logout to clear a session. Sign-in itself comes next.

Where to look

File Why
domains/auth/resolveOauthToken.ts Renewal. Refresh tokens rotate, so the rotated pair is persisted together; a transient fault inside the expiry margin keeps the working token; a lost race adopts the winner's pair, but only while that pair is itself unexpired.
domains/auth/store/saveTokens.ts The file fallback is written beside the record and renamed over it, so a concurrent read never parses a half-written file.
domains/auth/resolve.ts Where a browser session sits in the precedence chain, and why an API key still wins.

Overview of Changes

  • domains/auth/store/ keeps the session in the OS keychain, falling back to a 0600 file. A separate keychain entry from the API key, so each is cleared on its own.
  • domains/auth/resolveOauthToken.ts refreshes inside a thirty-second margin and pins the refresh to the organization already in use, so a session cannot silently move between organizations mid-run.
  • domains/auth/resolve.ts puts the browser session third after the environment variable and a stored API key. An API key carries team scope a user token does not.
  • qawolf auth logout clears both credential kinds, and asks storage directly rather than resolving, so an offline machine can still log out. A deletion error that is not "missing" propagates instead of reporting success.

Testing

  • 2,231 tests pass in total. oxlint --max-warnings 0, oxfmt --check, tsc --noEmit and knip are clean.
  • Renewal is covered for a transient fault inside the margin, a revoked grant, a lost race against another process, and an expired replacement pair that must not be adopted.
  • The store test proves the record never lands under its final name by a plain write.

To Do

  • Request e2e test coverage if needed
  • Explain database migrations and whether they have been manually written or auto-generated — none
  • Add release notes in sections below if your changes are relevant to non-developers — none, no user-visible change
  • Add pre/post-release tasks in sections below if needed

Walkthrough

The change adds persisted OAuth token storage with keychain and file fallbacks. It validates, loads, saves, and deletes OAuth sessions. It resolves fresh or refreshed OAuth tokens and handles concurrent refreshes. API-key resolution now falls back to browser credentials. Logout checks credentials without network resolution and removes API keys and OAuth tokens concurrently. Tests cover storage, refresh, fallback, race conditions, and logout behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 22e98

This change persists and renews browser sessions, but unresolved credential-loading, expiry-validation, and failed-write cleanup cases can leave users unable to authenticate or retain obsolete session data. These issues should be addressed before merge.

Make the fallback store authoritative after a keychain write failure.

At src/domains/auth/store/loadTokens.ts:58, a valid keychain value wins over tokens.json. saveTokens writes the rotated pair to tokens.json after setPassword() fails, but resolveOauthToken discards its { stored: "file" } result. If the old keychain value remains, the next refresh uses the spent refresh token and cannot reach the file pair. Persist the selected StorageSource and make loadTokens honor it. Add a regression test for this state.

Clean up the staging file when writeFile fails.

Line 28 runs before the try block. If fs.writeFile creates the file and then rejects, saveToFile leaves token data in the staging file. Put both writeFile and rename in a try/finally block. Remove the staging file unless rename completed. Add a write-failure test.
