Adds the OpenID Connect login flow Dialectic.Frontend will drive. Pattern
mirrors Fabric.Backend.Center: SPA → /api/auth/oidc/start → IdP →
/api/auth/oidc/callback → 302 to SPA with one-time ticket in URL fragment
→ SPA POST /api/auth/oidc/exchange → HttpOnly session cookie set.
What's added:
- internal/oidc/service.go — runtime OIDC service:
* BuildAuthorizeURL (PKCE S256 + random state, 10min ttl)
* HandleCallback (token exchange + ID token verify + ticket mint, 60s ttl)
* ExchangeTicket (ticket → session JWT, HS256 24h)
* VerifySession (cookie validation)
* GetConfig/SetConfig with sync.Map-backed state/ticket stores
* SweepExpired (call from background goroutine; clears stale entries)
- internal/db/migrations/004_oidc_config.sql — single-row oidc_config
table (issuer/client_id/client_secret/redirect_uri/post_login_redirect/
scopes/enabled). Runtime-mutable via dialectic-cli.
- internal/httpapi/handlers/auth.go — 5 endpoints:
GET /api/auth/oidc/status — { enabled }
GET /api/auth/oidc/start — 302 to IdP
GET /api/auth/oidc/callback — IdP returns; we 302 to SPA with ticket
POST /api/auth/oidc/exchange — ticket → cookie + user
GET /api/auth/me — current session user (401 if anon)
POST /api/auth/logout — clears cookie
- internal/auth: replaces the OIDCBrowser Phase-2C stub with one that
reads the session cookie via SessionVerifier; keeps dev-bypass
behind cfg.OIDCOnly gate (set OIDC_ONLY=true in prod to disable
dev-bypass entirely)
- cmd/dialectic-cli/main.go — new binary; subcommand
'config oidc [--issuer ... --client-id ... --client-secret ...
--callback-url ... --enabled true|false]'
Runs against same DB the backend uses; reachable via
'docker exec dialectic-backend dialectic-cli config oidc ...'
- Dockerfile: build both binaries; put on PATH for docker exec
Config:
- SESSION_SIGNING_KEY env: required in prod, ephemeral random in dev.
HS256 secret for session JWTs. Stable across restarts (rotation
invalidates every session — kill switch).
- OIDC_ONLY env: 'true' disables the dev-bypass path entirely; use
in prod once OIDC is configured.
- OIDC_ISSUER + OIDC_CLIENT_ID env are no longer required at boot —
they're advisory bootstrap values for the oidc_config DB row.
Deps:
- github.com/coreos/go-oidc/v3 (discovery + JWKS verify)
- golang.org/x/oauth2 (token exchange + PKCE)
- github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5 (session JWT)
- Bumped go.mod toolchain to 1.25.
Pairs with Dialectic.Frontend (next commit) which removes the
/agents/:id admin page and adds the login button + /oidc/callback
SPA route + AuthProvider that talks to these new endpoints.
The backend no longer broadcasts topic lifecycle events to Fabric. The
new model (per design discussion 2026-05-23 evening):
- Proposing agent posts a single recruitment fabric-send-message
immediately after creating a topic (carries topic_id + signup
window + debate window + title).
- Downstream agents that decide to participate book a HF on_call
slot covering the debate window via `hf calendar schedule on_call
<time> <duration> --job DEBATE-<topic_id>`.
- HF wakes the agent naturally at slot start; the wake payload
carries event_data with the DEBATE-<topic_id> code so the agent
knows why it was woken.
- The backend stays a pure data + state-machine service and doesn't
know about Fabric.
Code removed:
- internal/fabric/announce.go (entire file + empty dir)
- ticker.go: broadcastLifecycle + broadcastAnnouncement + topicTarget
helpers; announcer field on Ticker; announce field/arg on NewTicker
- models/topic.go: AnnounceGuildBaseURL + AnnounceChannelID fields
- store/topic_store.go: same fields on CreateTopicInput + INSERT
- handlers/topics.go: same fields on createTopicBody + validation +
parameter passing to store
- handlers/verdict.go: announcer field + lifecycle broadcast on
verdict submit
- config/config.go: FabricSystemAPIKey field + DIALECTIC_FABRIC_SYSTEM_API_KEY
env read
- main.go + routes.go: announcer wiring
Database:
- migrations/003_drop_topic_announce_target.sql drops the two columns
added by migration 002. Counterpart commit on the deployment side
needs DIALECTIC_FABRIC_SYSTEM_API_KEY env removed from
docker-compose.yml; harmless if left as the backend no longer
reads it.
Pairs with:
- Dialectic.OpenclawPlugin: rip announce_* params from
dialectic_propose_topic (next commit)
- Fabric.Backend.Center: rip serviceEndpoint field + cli
- Fabric.Backend.Guild: rip system-key bypass on ApiKeyGuard and
announce-only-system limit on messaging.controller
- ClawSkills: rewrite participate-debate + analyze-intel step 4 +
delete rotate-fabric-system-key workflow
Operator decision: backend env hard-coding a single guild/channel was
wrong because (a) one Center can host many guilds and (b) one guild
can have many announce channels for different purposes. The
proposing agent now chooses where this topic's lifecycle events go,
passed as create-topic params and stored on the topic row.
Schema migration 002:
- ALTER topics ADD announce_guild_base_url VARCHAR(255) NULL,
announce_channel_id VARCHAR(64) NULL.
- Both nullable; one-of-two is rejected at POST time; both null =
topic creator opted out of broadcasts (announcer skips with log).
handlers/topics.go: createTopicBody adds announce_guild_base_url +
announce_channel_id; validates both-or-neither.
fabric/announce.go: rewritten signature. NewAnnouncer takes only
the system api key. PostTopicAnnouncement + PostLifecycleEvent take
a Target {GuildBaseURL, ChannelID} per call. Zero-value Target -> skip.
orchestrator/ticker.go: new helper topicTarget(topic) extracts the
target from the topic row; all broadcasts route through it.
verdict.go: same per-topic target extraction at completion.
config: removed FabricGuildBaseURL, FabricAnnounceChannelID,
FabricBotBearerToken from the Config struct + env reads.
FabricSystemAPIKey env renamed to DIALECTIC_FABRIC_SYSTEM_API_KEY
to disambiguate from the Fabric backend's own
FABRIC_BACKEND_GUILD_SYSTEM_API_KEY (operator: paste the same value
into both - one says "I am the system caller", the other says "I
accept this caller as system").
FABRIC_BOT_BEARER_TOKEN is gone entirely. The upgraded Guild
ApiKeyGuard accepts x-fabric-system-key alone for announce posts;
no per-user Bearer needed. Pairs with the matching change on
nav/Fabric.Backend.Guild commit 985b06a.
Two fixes surfaced by sim e2e test (which otherwise passed full
lifecycle: created → signup_open → 3 signups → allocator → debating
→ arguments → verdict gate (409 early, 201 after debate_end_at) →
completed).
1) MySQL TIMESTAMP rejects RFC3339-with-Z strings — passing those as
sqlx parameters fails with "Incorrect datetime value". Changed
CreateTopicInput lifecycle fields from string to time.Time; the
handler parses+UTCs in validateLifecycleTimes (which now returns
the parsed array along with the validation result) and passes
time.Time to the store. The mysql driver formats correctly.
2) splitSQL was naive `strings.Split(s, ";")` which split inside
comments — the 001 migration had a few `--` lines containing `;`
("signup_close_at; immutable", etc) which broke. Migration text
tidied to not use `;` inside comments, AND splitSQL upgraded to
skip both `-- ...` and `/* ... */` comment regions before splitting.
Sim verified — clean apply on fresh MySQL.
Replaces the Python v1 (preserved on archive/python-v1 branch).
Stack: Go 1.23 + chi router + sqlx + MySQL 8. Distroless static
container. 12-factor config from env. Embedded SQL migrations.
Schema (internal/db/migrations/001_init.sql):
- topics: 议题 with 4-timestamp lifecycle (signup_open/close +
debate_start/end), visibility (default private), status state machine,
verdict_schema FK
- signups: agent self-enrollment with willing_camps (JSON array of
pro|con|judge), pre_validated audit flag, (topic,agent) unique
- camps: post-allocation lock (one row per topic+camp) — written by
Phase 2D allocator
- rounds + arguments: chronological debate transcript
- verdicts: judge structured output, one per topic, with token-cost
trail for future budgeting
- agent_keys + system_keys: peppered sha256 hashes, never raw
- verdict_schemas: seeded with binary, claim-resolution (for
analyze-intel), policy-recommendation, free-form
Auth (internal/auth):
- AgentAPIKey: real bearer-token middleware against agent_keys;
best-effort last_used_at touch on success
- OIDCBrowser: Phase 2 stub. Dev mode accepts x-dev-bypass header
(constant-time compare); prod 401s with a Phase-4-pending hint.
Real Keycloak JWKS verification lands with the frontend rewrite.
HTTP API (internal/httpapi):
- /api/healthz — db ping + version + uptime
- GET /api/topics — list with status/visibility/limit/offset filters;
anonymous callers see public only
- GET /api/topics/{id} — visibility-gated (private → 404 hide)
- POST /api/topics — create with RFC3339 lifecycle validation
(signup_open < signup_close <= debate_start < debate_end)
- PUT /api/topics/{id}/visibility — dialectic-admin role gate
- POST /api/topics/{id}/signups — agent self-enroll; rejects when
topic.status != signup_open OR outside signup window; idempotent
upsert per (topic, agent)
- GET /api/topics/{id}/signups — list (any authed caller)
Auth chains:
- optionalAuth: try bearer → try oidc → fall through anonymous
(handlers branch on Caller.Kind == ""). Uses captureWriter to demote
inner 401s to "try next" without leaking response bytes.
- requireAnyAuth: chain that 401s if neither succeeds.
- requireAgent: strict bearer-only (signup POST).
Run: `docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build`. Migrations
auto-apply on first connect; idempotent on reboot. README documents
env vars, dev bypass usage, agent-key provisioning SQL, and the
Phase 2D/E/3/4/5 roadmap.
