saqib mirandClaude Sonnet 5 3b4c220a45 plan: design for identity and authentication feature (010)
Phase 0 research resolves the library choices (jsonwebtoken + bcryptjs,
chosen partly to avoid native-build friction on Windows dev
environments), the Redis-backed revocation-denylist shape (reusing
002's own jti-replay-protection pattern exactly), a 4-hour token
lifetime, and why fastify.authenticate populating the already-shared
reqContext.actorId/actorType retroactively makes every audit trail
since 007 accurate for real agent/admin actions instead of always
'unknown'.

Also surfaces and scopes a real gap found along the way: User (login
identity) and Agent (routing/skills profile) have never been linked.
Adds Agent.userId as a nullable FK now (cheap, additive) without
building the actual linking workflow, which belongs in 006's own
identity/agents admin screens as a later, separate piece of work.

Phase 1 adds data-model.md, the login/self-identity/account-creation/
logout contract, and five quickstart scenarios including a specific
requirement to re-verify at least one already-shipped admin route per
module (002-009), not just this feature's own new endpoints.

# Contract: Identity and Authentication
## Login
- `POST /auth/login` — body `{ email, password }`. `401` on any failure (wrong password, no
such account, or a deactivated account) with an identical response body/status in every case
(FR-002/SC-003) — never a distinguishable "no such user" vs "wrong password." `200` with
`{ token, user: { id, email, name, role } }` on success.
## Self-identity
- `GET /auth/me` — gated by `fastify.authenticate`. `401` if the token is missing/invalid/
expired/revoked. `401` if the account behind a structurally-valid token no longer exists or
is deactivated (re-validated against current state, not the token's own claims alone). `200`
with `{ id, email, name, role }` on success.
## Account creation (admin-only)
- `POST /admin/users` — gated by `fastify.authenticate` + `requireRole('ADMIN')`. Body
`{ email, name, role, password }` (`role` one of `ADMIN`/`AGENT`). `403` for a valid non-admin
session. `409` if `email` is already in use. `201` with the created `{ id, email, name, role
}` (never the password or its hash) on success.
## Logout
- `POST /auth/logout` — gated by `fastify.authenticate`. Revokes the calling token's own `jti`
(Redis denylist, TTL = remaining lifetime) so it's rejected on any further use even before its
natural expiry. `200` on success.
## Guarantees (callable contract)
1. **Every route already gated by `fastify.authenticate` across 002-009 continues to accept a
valid session and now genuinely rejects a missing/invalid/expired/revoked one** — the gate
itself changes from a no-op to a real check; which routes carry the gate is unchanged
(FR-006, SC-001).
2. **A route additionally gated by `requireRole('ADMIN')` rejects a structurally valid session
whose role isn't `ADMIN`, with a response distinguishable from "no valid session at all"**
(403 vs 401) (FR-005, SC-002).
3. **A login failure never reveals whether the submitted email corresponds to an existing
account** — verified by comparing the exact response for a wrong password against a wholly
nonexistent email (FR-002, SC-003).
4. **No password is ever stored, logged, or returned anywhere in plaintext** — only
`passwordHash` is persisted, and no response body (login, self-identity, account creation)
ever includes it (FR-003, SC-004).
5. **An admin-created account can log in immediately with the password it was created with, no
manual step in between** (FR-008, SC-005).
6. **A token revoked via logout is rejected on any further use, even before its natural expiry**
(FR-009).
