Alignment Stream
Collaborative, agent-driven refinement for a single-spec auth rollout.
Force migrate everyone immediately
Delete all passwords on launch day and require magic links instantly.
We need each core planning area in one shared spec now. I still want magic links to be the primary direction, but contradictions across sections must be visible.
Requirements and infra are close, but the fallback path is still underspecified across the spec.
We can keep enterprise SSO, but delayed-email fallback must be consistent between requirements, UI/UX, and infra.
The team still needs clear ownership for the fallback contract before implementation starts.
Assign one owner, update the sections, and then re-evaluate this concern.
Retain SSO, Migrate Passwords
Magic links become default for individuals. Existing passwords get a 30-day grace period and enterprise SSO remains fully supported.
If the delivery provider slips, the experience degrades quickly. I want the spec to spell out the recovery path.
We need the same SLA and same operator playbook spelled out in all three sections.
I can generate a coordinated patch across requirements and infra once the team agrees on the fallback contract.
The current spec still does not make it clear whether identity verification joins Phase 1.
Confirm the Phase 1 commercial scope and reflect it in the overview and risks sections.
Add one explicit fallback flow and SLA to the product requirement.

Use Magic Links as primary auth
The default login and signup entry point becomes an email-only magic-link flow.
Authentication Revamp Spec
Collaborative, agent-driven refinement for a single-spec auth rollout.
Overview
Authentication is moving to a single spec workspace so product, design, and engineering can maintain one structured source of truth while still tracking alignment.
Goals
- Increase signup conversion by 30%.
- Reduce password-reset support load by 50%.
- Keep enterprise SSO as a compliant escape hatch.
Requirements
- New individual users authenticate with magic links.
- Existing password users get a 30-day grace period.
- Enterprise tenants retain SSO.
UI/UX
The login and signup entry points collapse to a single email field. Delayed delivery needs visible recovery guidance and a retry affordance.
If delivery exceeds the SLA, the UI must explain next steps in plain language.
Tech Stack
Auth services need token issuance, delivery telemetry, and a reversible rollout path for password deprecation.
Infra
Infra needs provider health monitoring, retry-safe delivery pipelines, and tenant-aware SSO routing.
Delivery health must be exposed in operator tooling every 5 minutes.
Risks & Open Questions
- Email latency beyond 10s may cause drop-off.
- Phase 1 payment identity requirements remain unconfirmed.
