Alignment Stream
Collaborative, agent-driven refinement for a single-spec auth rollout.
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.
The delayed-email fallback still differs across the product, UX, and infra sections.
Define one shared fallback contract and keep the affected sections in sync.
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.
