All Decisions Open Files
Focused Concern High Open
Fallback mismatch across requirements, UI/UX, and infra

The delayed-email fallback still differs across the product, UX, and infra sections.

Requirements UI/UX Infra
Medium Stale Human Flag
Need one owner for delayed-email recovery

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.

We need the same SLA and same operator playbook spelled out in all three sections.

Concern Guidance 7:04 AM

I can generate a coordinated patch across requirements and infra once the team agrees on the fallback contract.

Medium Open Business Viability
Phase 1 identity scope is still commercially ambiguous

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.

Authentication Revamp Spec

Collaborative, agent-driven refinement for a single-spec auth rollout.

aligned

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.

aligned

Goals

  • Increase signup conversion by 30%.
  • Reduce password-reset support load by 50%.
  • Keep enterprise SSO as a compliant escape hatch.
iterating

Requirements

  • New individual users authenticate with magic links.
  • Existing password users get a 30-day grace period.
  • Enterprise tenants retain SSO.
iterating

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.

iterating

Tech Stack

Auth services need token issuance, delivery telemetry, and a reversible rollout path for password deprecation.

iterating

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.
