Alignment Stream

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

Focused Concern Medium Stale
Need one owner for delayed-email recovery

The team still needs clear ownership for the fallback contract before implementation starts.

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.

Agent Signal 6:07 AM

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.

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.

High Open Consistency
Fallback mismatch across requirements, UI/UX, and infra

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Risks & Open Questions

  • Email latency beyond 10s may cause drop-off.
  • Phase 1 payment identity requirements remain unconfirmed.
