Documents the new account deletion flow end to end.

Guide

New Getting Started page, account-deletion.mdx, covering:

  • Requesting deletion from dashboard Settings (password re-auth, or typed email for OAuth-only accounts), the 7 day grace period with sign-in blocked, and automatic erasure after it.
  • Cancelling: the one-time cancel link from the deletion notice email (works for every account type, no login), plus the login page restore option for password accounts. Restores send a confirmation email.
  • What is erased (account, links, click analytics, API keys, webhooks, app grants, custom domains, uploaded images, analytics profile) and what is retained (abuse-disabled links with creator data removed under GDPR Article 17(3), backups expiring within roughly 15 days).

API reference

Two new endpoints merged into openapi-v1.json from the backend spec, under a new "Account" nav group:

  • DELETE /api/v1/me: schedules deletion, requires re-auth in the body, JWT sessions only (API keys are rejected), returns purge_after.
  • POST /auth/restore: cancels a pending deletion with email + password or the one-time restore token, public, uniform 403 on every failure to prevent account enumeration.

Carried over the three schemas they reference (DeleteAccountRequest, AccountDeletionResponse, RestoreAccountRequest); shared schemas already in the docs spec were left untouched.

Validated with mint validate (build passes) and mint broken-links (clean).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added account deletion with password or email confirmation.
    • Added a 7-day grace period during which deletion can be canceled.
    • Added account restoration using credentials or a one-time restore token.
    • Documented data removal, retained data, security requirements, and API behavior.
    • Added API reference documentation for account deletion and restoration.

Merge DELETE /api/v1/me and POST /auth/restore from the backend
OpenAPI spec with their three request/response schemas, add an
Account group to the v1 reference nav, and add a Getting Started
guide covering the grace period, restore paths, and GDPR scope.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds account deletion and restoration API contracts, including a seven-day reversible grace period, re-authentication rules, restore methods, response schemas, error behavior, rate limits, and documentation navigation.

Changes

Account deletion and restoration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deletion and restoration API contracts
openapi-v1.json
Adds DELETE /api/v1/me and POST /auth/restore, with request schemas, purge_after responses, authentication requirements, validation rules, rate limits, and error responses.
Account lifecycle documentation and navigation
account-deletion.mdx, docs.json
Documents the deletion lifecycle, erased and retained data, restoration limits, API behavior, and links to the new API reference pages.
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b61f

The documentation currently exposes an account-deletion API that may allow API-key authentication despite requiring JWT sessions, and it includes smaller inconsistencies in restoration validation, timestamp typing, and cancel-link eligibility. The PR is not merge-ready until these API contract and security details are aligned.

## Cancelling a Pending Deletion

The deletion notice email contains a one-time cancel link. It works for every account type and requires no login.

Align cancel-link eligibility with the API contract.

This sentence says that the cancel link works for every account type. RestoreAccountRequest describes restore_token as an OAuth-only restoration method.

Either document that the link is OAuth-only, or update the OpenAPI contract if all deletion notices contain a valid restore token.

Define JWT-only security for DELETE /api/v1/me.

Because the operation omits security, it inherits the root requirement, which permits ApiKeyAuth or JWTAuth. Set the operation-level requirement to [{ "JWTAuth": [] }].

Mark purge_after as a date-time.

Without format: "date-time", schema-derived clients treat this value as an unrestricted string. Add the format used by the other timestamp schemas.

Proposed fix
 "purge_after": {
     "type": "string",
+    "format": "date-time",
     "title": "Purge After",

Encode the mutually exclusive restoration proofs.

The schema currently accepts {}, partial credentials, and mixed credential/token payloads. The description states that these payloads produce a validation error.

Use oneOf to require either both email and password, or only restore_token. Exclude the fields from the other proof in each branch. This keeps generated clients and validators consistent with the endpoint contract.
