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.
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.
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.
