Summary

  • Adds auth.sign_in.pkce_flow_id to capabilities/auth.yaml: a per-flow, bounded (ring of 5) PKCE verifier storage keyed by a generated flow id, with an optional flow id selector on exchange-code-for-session.
  • Adds specs/auth/pkce_flow_id.md describing the behavior, fail-fast error contract, and scope boundary (the reference implementation's opt-in redirect-param propagation is called out as not required for baseline parity).

Why

Validated against the merged supabase-js PR supabase/supabase-js#2569: starting two PKCE flows concurrently (two OAuth sign-ins, or an OAuth flow started while a password-recovery flow is pending) used to silently overwrite the earlier flow's verifier. This spec is a prerequisite for SDK-1395 (supabase-swift parity implementation).

Test plan

  • npm run validate passes locally in scripts/capability-matrix
  • CODEOWNERS review

Adds auth.sign_in.pkce_flow_id, covering supabase-js's per-flow verifier
storage (bounded ring, optional flow id on exchangeCodeForSession) so other
SDKs have a spec to implement against for SDK-1395.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for identifying and managing multiple concurrent PKCE sign-in flows.
    • OAuth responses now provide optional flow IDs for selecting the correct verification flow during code exchange.
    • Added bounded storage for up to five pending flows, with older flows automatically removed.
  • Documentation
    • Documented flow ID usage, fallback behavior, error handling, safety considerations, and redirect URL support.

Walkthrough

The change adds the auth.sign_in.pkce_flow_id capability. It documents concurrent PKCE flows with up to five pending verifiers and oldest-first eviction. Code exchange can use an optional flow ID to select a matching verifier. OAuth and identity-linking responses expose flow IDs. Out-of-band email flows retain fallback behavior. Invalid or evicted explicit flow IDs return the normal verifier-not-found error. The documentation also covers flow-ID safety and redirect URL propagation.

- Around line 5-8: Update the PKCE flow-ID contract in the documented auth flow
section to explicitly define how the SSO sign-in flow ID is returned to and
supplied to exchangeCodeForSession, including whether the optional redirect
mechanism applies; if SSO does not support this contract, remove SSO sign-in
from the listed PKCE flows.

- Rename auth.sign_in.pkce_flow_id -> auth.sign_in.concurrent_pkce_flows:
  the id should name the end-user-facing capability (concurrent PKCE
  flows), not the mechanism used to implement it (a flow id).
- Explicitly place SSO sign-in in the out-of-band group (it doesn't return
  a flow id in the reference implementation, same as OTP/resend/reset/
  update-user) instead of leaving it uncategorized.
- Drop the redundant Notes section: the redirect-param point duplicated
  the "optional correlation channel" sentence already in Behavior, and the
  "not a secret" aside wasn't load-bearing for an implementer.
