Raw Blame History

Phase 19 — AuthBlocks User Management in the CMS

Status: proposed (rev. 2 — scope expanded by Daniel 2026-06-19). Author: product-designer. Date: 2026-06-19. Implementer: TBD (separate delegation).

Wire the AuthBlocks user-administration surface (create users, manage existing accounts, manage registration invites, manage role permissions) into the DeepDrftManager CMS so an admin can run account management from inside the same authenticated CMS they already use — and stand up the public-facing self-service registration form on the DeepDrftPublic site so an invited user can redeem a registration code and create their own account.

Daniel's framing: "this is already part of the AuthBlocks library so we just need to wire it up properly." That framing is correct for the CMS surface — and the wiring there is further along than it implies. Almost the entire CMS-side integration already landed as a side-effect of the prior AuthBlocks startup separation (PLAN_authblocks_trackmanager.md, landed 2026-05-25) and the login/logout integration; what remains there is a thin navigation + verification + polish slice, not an integration project.

Scope expansion (Daniel, 2026-06-19). The original (rev. 1) spec deferred public self-service registration entirely and treated "create user" as a single CMS path. Daniel reversed both: he wants all three account-creation paths wired, with each placed on its correct host. Two of the three are CMS-side (and ride the already-done CMS wiring above); the third is public-facing and requires a genuine cold-start AuthBlocks integration on DeepDrftPublic, which today has no AuthBlocks reference at all. The public-registration work is therefore a distinct track with its own host, routing, and layout considerations — not part of the CMS nav slice.

The spec below separates what is already done from the genuine remaining work, and separates the CMS track (waves 19.119.3, the original slice) from the new public-site track (wave 19.4).


0. The three account-creation paths (verified against AuthBlocks source)

Daniel asked for the registration model to be double-checked against C:\Development\AuthBlocks. Verified — his three-path understanding is correct and complete. The model:

# Path Component(s) Route Host Backed by Email?
1 Admin provisions a user directly (bypasses email/code loop) SuperRegister.razor /account/superregister CMS POST api/auth/admin-register (UserAdmin-gated) — working No
2 Public self-service — invited user redeems a code and self-registers Register.razor /account/register PUBLIC SITE POST api/auth/register (unauthenticated) — working No (consumes code)
3 Admin provisions a registration token + triggers the invite email NewRegistration.razorNewRegistrationForm.razor /useradmin/registrations/new CMS POST api/pendingregistration/create (UserAdmin-gated) — working, sends email server-side Yes — real, not stubbed

Path 3's email is real. This is the headline correction to rev. 1, which worried the token-provisioning path might be stubbed like Reset Password. It is not. PendingRegistrationRoutes.Create (AuthBlocksLib/Routes/PendingRegistrationRoutes.cs:62) generates a token, persists the pending registration, builds the invite link ({ReturnHost}?UserEmail=&RegistrationToken=), renders RegistrationEmailTemplate.Create(...), and sends it via IGeneralEmailSender.SendEmailAsync — a Mailtrap-backed MailtrapEmailSender registered in AuthBlocksExtensions (line 109) and configured in DeepDrftAPI from environment/authblocks.json (AuthBlocks:Email:Host / :Token, Program.cs:106109; ApplicationName="DeepDrft", SupportEmail from config). On email-send failure the route rolls back the pending-registration row and returns 500. So the full invite→email→redeem loop is functional end-to-end across paths 2 and 3: an admin provisions (path 3) → the prospective user receives an email with a code + link → they land on the public /account/register form (path 2) with email + token pre-filled from the query string → they set a password and the account is created.

The one genuinely stubbed surface is Reset PasswordUsers.razor:55 (// todo integrate with email for secure reset) has an empty handler and no backing API endpoint exists (AuthRoutes maps login/register/admin-register/refresh/logout/me/roles — no reset route). That is the subject of the separate authblocks-password-reset-brief.md; it must not be filed as a DeepDrft bug.

Two distinct admin "create" verbs — both stay, they are not duplicates. SuperRegister (path 1) creates a live account immediately with a password the admin sets. The registration-token form (path 3) creates a pending invite — no account yet — and lets the user set their own password via email. They serve different needs (provision-now vs. invite-by-email); both belong in the CMS nav. (Note the older rev. 1 "canonical create-user" question conflated SuperRegister with NewUser at /useradmin/users/new — that NewUser ModelView create form still exists as a third bare admin create path, but it is not one of Daniel's three; treat it as redundant with SuperRegister and do not surface it in nav. See OQ2.)


1. What AuthBlocks ships, and how it is packaged

Read from local source at C:\Development\AuthBlocks (not public docs). The key question the brief raised — is the user-admin surface consumable or host-bound? — resolves cleanly: it is consumable.

The user-admin surface is a published RCL, despite the "Web" name

AuthBlocksWeb is an Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor project (not Sdk.Web) with no Program.cs — it is a Razor Class Library, not a runnable host. pack.ps1 packs it as Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web and pushes it to nuget.org alongside the other four packages. So the user-admin Razor components are distributed as a normal RCL and are consumed by reference, exactly like any MudBlazor-based component package. No extraction fork is needed — the architectural risk the brief flagged ("if the pages are host-bound and need extracting into an RCL") does not materialize. The pages are already in the RCL.

What's in the package (the consumable surface)

Components under AuthBlocksWeb/Components/:

  • Account pages (Pages/Account/):
    • Login, Logout, AccessDenied.
    • Register.razor/account/register (path 2 — public self-service via invite code; @rendermode InteractiveServer; reads UserEmail + RegistrationToken from the query string and pre-fills, so a deep link from the invite email lands ready to submit; calls AuthStateProvider.RegisterAsyncPOST api/auth/register; no role gate — it is meant to be reachable by an unauthenticated visitor).
    • SuperRegister.razor/account/superregister (path 1 — admin creates a live account immediately, with a role multiselect; gated [HierarchicalRoleAuthorize(UserAdmin)]; calls IAuthApiClient.AdminRegisterAsyncPOST api/auth/admin-register).
  • User admin pages (Pages/UserAdmin/), each @page-routed and gated [HierarchicalRoleAuthorize(SystemRoleConstants.UserAdmin)]:
    • Users/Users.razor/useradmin/users — searchable user grid; per-row Reset Password (stubbed — // todo integrate with email, no backing endpoint), Deactivate/Reactivate, edit modal.
    • Users/NewUser.razor/useradmin/users/new — bare create-user form (redundant with SuperRegister; not one of Daniel's three paths — do not surface in nav).
    • Registrations/Registrations.razor/useradmin/registrations — pending-invite grid (email, consumed?, dates), with NewRegistration.razor/useradmin/registrations/new (path 3NewRegistrationForm posts to PendingRegistrationClient.CreatePendingRegistrationPOST api/pendingregistration/create, which mints the token and sends the invite email) and the edit-registration modal.
    • Permissions/Permissions.razor/useradmin/permissions — user↔role assignment.
  • Menu fragments (Components/Layout/): AccountNavMenu, UserAdminMenu (a MudNavGroup with the three user-admin MudNavLinks, itself wrapped in a HierarchicalRoleAuthorizeView so it only renders for UserAdmin+).
  • Shared (Components/Shared/): LogoutButton, StatusMessage.
  • DI entry point (Startup.cs): ConfigureAuthServices(IServiceCollection, string apiBaseUrl) registers the cascading auth state, the JWT client stack, and every user-admin client + ViewModel (UsersClient/UsersViewModel, RoleClient, UserRolesClient/PermissionsViewModel, PendingRegistrationClient/RegistrationsViewModel), all pointed at apiBaseUrl.

The pages lean on Cerebellum.BlazorBlocks.Web for their grid scaffolding (ModelView, ModelPageViewModel, ConfirmCancelModal) and MudBlazor for chrome — both already present in the CMS.

The API side is already hosted

The clients those ViewModels use call the AuthBlocks API surface, which DeepDrftAPI already mounts via app.MapAuthBlocks() (Program.cs:184): api/auth/* (incl. admin-register, gated UserAdmin; and roles), api/users/*, api/roles/*, api/user-roles/*, api/pending-registration/*. AddAuthBlocks + UseAuthBlocksStartupAsync (migrate + seed) are wired, and the Auth DB + secrets live in DeepDrftAPI/environment/. This all landed with the startup separation.


2. What is ALREADY wired in DeepDrftManager (do not redo)

Verified against the current DeepDrftManager source. These are the integration steps a naive plan would propose — and they are already done:

  1. Package reference. DeepDrftManager.csproj:11 references Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web (10.3.33), which transitively brings AuthBlocksWeb.Client, AuthBlocksLib, AuthBlocksModels.
  2. Service wiring. Program.cs:35 calls AuthBlocksWeb.Startup.ConfigureAuthServices(builder.Services, contentApiUrl) — so the user-admin clients and ViewModels are already in the container, already pointed at DeepDrftAPI.
  3. Page discovery. Routes.razor:2 sets AdditionalAssemblies="new[] { typeof(AuthBlocksWeb._Imports).Assembly }" and Program.cs:131 mirrors it for endpoint mapping. The Blazor router already discovers every AuthBlocksWeb page, including /useradmin/users, /useradmin/registrations, /useradmin/permissions, /useradmin/users/new, /account/superregister. They are route-reachable today by typing the URL.
  4. Default layout. Routes.razor:6 sets DefaultLayout="typeof(Layout.CmsLayout)". Since the AuthBlocks pages declare no @layout, they already render inside CmsLayout chrome.
  5. Role gating already satisfied. The pages gate on SystemRoleConstants.UserAdmin. The DeepDrft admin is seeded in role Admin, and SystemRole (id 1, Admin) is the parent of UserAdmin (id 2) — Admin.InheritsFrom/hierarchical authorize means the existing admin already passes the UserAdmin gate with no role change, no new seed, no DB edit.
  6. Auth-state + redirect plumbing. AuthorizeRouteView with RedirectToLogin / RedirectToAccessDenied (Routes.razor) already protects the surface coherently.

Net: an authenticated DeepDrft admin can, right now, navigate to /useradmin/users and the page should render and call DeepDrftAPI. The reason it feels unbuilt is that nothing in the CMS UI links to these pagesCmsLayout has no nav drawer at all (just an app bar with a Home button), so the surface is invisible and unverified.

This is the crux: the CMS-side work is not integration, it is exposure + verification + fit-and-finish.


2b. What is NOT wired on DeepDrftPublic (the public-registration track — genuine cold start)

The public self-service registration form (path 2) lives in the same RCL (Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web) as the CMS pages. But unlike the CMS, DeepDrftPublic has no AuthBlocks footprint at all — verified:

  • No package reference. Neither DeepDrftPublic.csproj nor DeepDrftPublic.Client.csproj references Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web (or any AuthBlocks package).
  • No service wiring. DeepDrftPublic/Program.cs never calls ConfigureAuthServices — the AuthStateProvider / JWT client stack that Register.razor depends on is absent from the container.
  • No page discovery. No AdditionalAssemblies entry for the AuthBlocks RCL, so the router cannot reach /account/register even if the package were referenced.

So path 2 is a from-cold integration on the public site, not a "flip it on" task. The render-mode substrate, at least, is compatible: DeepDrftPublic is already a Blazor Web App with both AddInteractiveServerComponents + AddInteractiveWebAssemblyComponents and the matching render modes (Program.cs:3334, 147148), so Register.razor's @rendermode InteractiveServer is satisfiable without a render-mode change.

The public-track integration steps (mirror of §2 items 14, but on the public host):

  1. Package reference — add Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web to DeepDrftPublic.csproj (the host owns the page discovery + DI; the client assembly need not reference it unless a client-rendered surface is wanted — Register is InteractiveServer, so server-host wiring suffices).
  2. Service wiring — call AuthBlocksWeb.Startup.ConfigureAuthServices(builder.Services, contentApiUrl) in DeepDrftPublic/Program.cs, pointed at the same DeepDrftAPI base URL the public site already uses for api/track/* (it resolves from environment/api.json Api:ContentApiUrl). This registers the AuthStateProvider and JWT client stack Register.razor needs. Open scope question (OQ6): this also pulls in the entire AuthBlocks client surface (all user-admin clients/VMs) and the cascading auth state — heavier than the public site needs. Acceptable for v1 (it is inert without the gated pages mounted), but worth a conscious "is the public site now auth-aware?" decision (it gains a logged-in concept it did not have).
  3. Page discovery — add the AuthBlocks _Imports assembly to AdditionalAssemblies on the public site's router (and mirror for endpoint mapping) so /account/register is route-reachable. This also exposes /account/login, /account/superregister, and the /useradmin/* pages on the public host. The /useradmin/* and /account/superregister pages self-gate to UserAdmin (a public visitor fails the gate → RedirectToLogin/AccessDenied), so they are not a data-exposure risk, but surfacing admin routes on the public origin at all is a posture choice. Recommendation: if the framework supports it cleanly, register only the Register page (or scope discovery), or accept the gated routes as present-but-unreachable-in-practice. Flag as OQ7.
  4. LayoutRegister.razor declares no @layout, so it inherits the public site's DefaultLayout (the full public chrome: player bar, nav, footer). Decide whether self-registration should render in the full public layout or a lean auth layout (mirroring the CMS's CmsHomeLayout splash idiom). For v1, the public layout is acceptable; a lean layout is polish. Flag as OQ8.
  5. CORS — DeepDrftAPI's ContentApiPolicy must allow the public site origin for the api/auth/* calls Register makes. The public origin is already an allowed origin for api/track/* (same proxy hop), and the policy is origin-scoped not path-scoped, so this should already be satisfied — but it is a verification item (mirror of the CMS's G2 CORS check), not an assumption.
  6. Entry point / link — once the form is reachable, decide whether/where the public site links to it. The invite email's deep link lands directly on /account/register?UserEmail=&RegistrationToken=, so the form works without any public nav link (the email is the entry point). A visible "Register" link in the public nav is optional and arguably unwanted (registration is invite-only — a public "Register" link invites confusion/abuse since there is no self-serve code issuance). Recommendation: no public nav link; the email deep link is the sole entry point. Flag as OQ9.

This is why the public track is its own wave (19.4), parallel to but independent of the CMS nav work.


3. The genuine remaining work

G1 — Navigation: there is no way to reach the surface from the UI (the real gap)

CmsLayout.razor is an app bar + a single Home MudIconButtonno MudDrawer, no nav menu. The catalogue, releases, upload, and now user-admin surfaces are all reachable only by typed URL or in-page buttons. Mounting UserAdminMenu requires a navigation container to mount it into.

Three shapes, meaningfully different (diverge-before-converge):

  • G1-a — Minimal: app-bar overflow menu. Add a MudMenu (or a few MudIconButtons) to the existing app bar with links to the three user-admin routes (+ SuperRegister). Smallest change; keeps CmsLayout's current spare aesthetic. Cost: doesn't scale — the CMS already has catalogue/releases/upload that arguably belong in a real nav too, and an overflow menu gets crowded.
  • G1-b — Recommended: a real MudDrawer nav in CmsLayout. Add a left drawer (toggle in the app bar) holding the existing primary destinations (Catalogue, Releases, Upload) and the shipped UserAdminMenu fragment (which self-gates to UserAdmin+). This is the idiomatic Blazor/MudBlazor CMS shape, it reuses AuthBlocks' own menu component verbatim, and it gives the CMS the navigation spine it's currently missing. Cost: slightly larger CmsLayout change; a small visual-design pass on the drawer.
  • G1-c — Maximal: dedicated "Administration" section. A drawer plus a distinct admin sub-area (its own landing page summarizing user counts / pending registrations, mirroring the catalogue dashboard idiom). Cost: net-new surface (an admin dashboard) beyond what AuthBlocks ships; scope creep for v1.

DECIDED: G1-b (Daniel, 2026-06-19). A real MudDrawer nav in CmsLayout mounting UserAdminMenu

  • the existing CMS destinations. It solves the actual gap (no nav) with the least bespoke code, reuses the shipped UserAdminMenu, and is the natural home for the CMS's other destinations too. G1-c's admin dashboard remains deferred (good later idea, not a v1 gate); G1-a is the rejected stopgap.

Borrowed precedent: this is the standard MudBlazor admin-template layout (persistent left MudDrawer + MudNavMenu/MudNavGroup), which UserAdminMenu is already authored against — it is a MudNavGroup. We are adopting the pattern the component was built for, not inventing one.

G2 — Verification pass (the surface is wired but unproven end-to-end)

Because nothing exercised these pages in the CMS, treat first-light as verification, not assumption. Confirm against a running DeepDrftAPI + Auth DB:

  • /useradmin/users lists users (the UsersClientapi/users/* round-trip works cross-origin / cross-host, with the bearer token the CMS already holds).
  • /account/superregister (path 1) creates a live account immediately — admin-register is UserAdmin-gated server-side and the admin's token must carry the role claim end-to-end.
  • /useradmin/registrations/new (path 3) provisions a token and sends the invite email — verify the email actually arrives (Mailtrap), the link/code in it are correct, and the rollback fires if the send fails. This is the surface most likely to surface a config gap (AuthBlocks:Email:Host/:Token must be real, not placeholder, in DeepDrftAPI's environment/authblocks.json).
  • /useradmin/registrations lists invites; /useradmin/permissions reads + assigns roles.
  • CORS / token presentation: the prior plan widened DeepDrftAPI CORS for the Manager origin for login; confirm the same allowance covers api/users/* / api/pendingregistration/* etc. (it should — same origin, same policy).
  • Two admin create verbs both staySuperRegister (path 1, provision-now) and the registration-token form (path 3, invite-by-email). The bare NewUser (/useradmin/users/new) is redundant with SuperRegister and is not surfaced in nav (OQ2). Both nav-surfaced paths are verified.

This pass is where any latent break surfaces (a client config typo, a missing role claim in the CMS-issued token, a package-version mismatch). It is real work even though no code may change if it all passes.

G3 — Theming / fit-and-finish

The AuthBlocks pages are MudBlazor-default-styled and were authored against AuthBlocks' own theme, not the DeepDrft CMS palette (DeepDrftPalettes.Cms, mounted in CmsLayout with IsDarkMode="false"). Expect minor visual seams: the AuthBlocks ThemeColorDemo/MudBlazor defaults vs. the CMS's DM-Sans / charleston palette. Scope for v1: accept MudBlazor-default styling inside the CMS palette (the MudThemeProvider in CmsLayout already themes Mud components, so the pages inherit the CMS palette for free) and only fix outright legibility/contrast breaks. A deeper bespoke restyle of the AuthBlocks grids is explicitly out of v1 — flag as deferred polish.

G4 — Package version alignment (housekeeping, flag don't gate)

DeepDrftManager references Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web 10.3.33; AuthBlocks source is at 10.3.35. Minor lag. Bumping to 10.3.35 is low-risk and gets the latest user-admin fixes, but is not required for this phase to function. Note it; let Daniel decide whether to bump in this pass or separately.


4. Scope boundaries

In for v1 (two tracks):

CMS track (waves 19.119.3):

  • G1-b: a MudDrawer nav in CmsLayout mounting UserAdminMenu (+ the existing CMS destinations).
  • All three CMS-side account paths surfaced in nav: path 1 (SuperRegister, provision-now) and path 3 (/useradmin/registrations/new, invite-by-email), plus the users/permissions grids.
  • G2: end-to-end verification of list/create/deactivate users, registrations (incl. the real invite email send), permissions.
  • G3: accept-the-palette theming; fix only legibility breaks.

Public-site track (wave 19.4) — the reversed deferral:

  • Path 2 — public self-service registration (/account/register) wired on DeepDrftPublic: package reference + ConfigureAuthServices + page discovery + layout + CORS verification (§2b). The invite email's deep link is the entry point.

Deferred (note, don't build):

  • Admin dashboard (G1-c) — a user-admin landing summarizing counts / pending invites. Good later; not a v1 gate.
  • Reset Password — the AuthBlocks Users page stubs it (// todo integrate with email; no backing endpoint exists in AuthRoutes). It is an upstream AuthBlocks gap, not a DeepDrft wiring task. Daniel is handling it as a separate AuthBlocks-repo effort with another team — see the standalone product-notes/authblocks-password-reset-brief.md. Do not implement password reset inside DeepDrftHome.
  • Bespoke restyle of the AuthBlocks grids to the editorial DeepDrft aesthetic (CMS or public).
  • A lean public auth layout for /account/register (full public chrome is acceptable for v1 — OQ8).
  • A visible public-nav "Register" link (registration is invite-only; the email deep link suffices — OQ9).
  • G4 version bump — housekeeping, Daniel's call on timing.

Explicitly not needed (the brief's worried-about fork):

  • Extracting AuthBlocks pages into a new RCL. They already ship in Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web.
  • New DI/service wiring, new routing, new role seeding, new Auth connection string. All present.

5. Phased breakdown (for clean dispatch)

Two tracks. The CMS track (19.119.3) is the original exposure+verify+polish slice. The public-site track (19.4) is a parallel, independent cold-start integration on a different host. They share only the DeepDrftAPI auth surface (already mounted) and can proceed concurrently.

CMS track

  • 19.1 — CmsLayout navigation (cold-start, the only CMS code wave). Add a MudDrawer + toggle to CmsLayout.razor; mount the shipped UserAdminMenu fragment (self-gates to UserAdmin+) and the existing CMS destinations (Catalogue /catalogue, Releases /releases, Upload /tracks/upload). Surface both admin account paths: path 1 (SuperRegister, /account/superregister) and path 3 (/useradmin/registrations/new, reachable via the UserAdminMenu Registrations link → its New button). Do not surface the redundant bare NewUser (OQ2). Scope: CmsLayout.razor (+ a small .razor.css if the drawer needs sizing). No service, API, data, or AuthBlocks-source change.
    • Acceptance: an authenticated Admin sees a nav drawer; the User Administration group appears and links to Users / Registrations / Permissions; a "Create user" affordance reaches SuperRegister; a non-UserAdmin user does not see the group; existing CMS destinations are reachable from the drawer.
  • 19.2 — End-to-end verification (after 19.1; may surface follow-ups). Exercise G2 against a running DeepDrftAPI. Confirm list/create/deactivate users, invite-email send (path 3), permission round-trips, and cross-host token + CORS. File any latent break as a follow-up (likely a one-line config fix — esp. the Mailtrap creds — or an upstream AuthBlocks issue). Mostly test, not code.
  • 19.3 — Theming legibility sweep (after 19.1, parallel-ok with 19.2). Walk each user-admin page in the CMS palette; fix only contrast/legibility breaks. Defer bespoke restyle.

Public-site track

  • 19.4 — Public self-service registration on DeepDrftPublic (cold-start, parallel to 19.1). Wire path 2 per §2b: add the Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web package reference to DeepDrftPublic, call ConfigureAuthServices in Program.cs pointed at the existing DeepDrftAPI base URL, add page discovery so /account/register is reachable, settle the layout (OQ8) and route-exposure posture (OQ7), and verify CORS for the public origin. This is real host-integration code on the public site (unlike the CMS, where wiring pre-exists) — scope: DeepDrftPublic.csproj, DeepDrftPublic/Program.cs, the public router, possibly a lean layout. No AuthBlocks-source change.
    • Acceptance: an invited user clicking the deep link in their registration email lands on /account/register with email + token pre-filled, sets a username/password, and the account is created (the row in pending_registration is consumed); the form renders coherently in the chosen public layout; an unauthenticated visitor can reach the form (it is not role-gated). The full path-3→path-2 loop (admin provisions in CMS → email arrives → user redeems on public site) works end-to-end.

Dependency shape: 19.1 → {19.2, 19.3} (CMS track); 19.4 is independent and parallel to the CMS track (it touches a different host; its only dependency, the DeepDrftAPI api/auth/register endpoint, is already live). The full invite→redeem acceptance test for 19.4 benefits from 19.1+19.2 being able to generate a real invite, but 19.4 can be built and unit-verified against a token minted directly via the API. Recommended kick-off: 19.1 and 19.4 in parallel.


6. Open questions for Daniel

Resolved (Daniel, 2026-06-19):

  1. Nav shape (G1) — DECIDED G1-b. Real MudDrawer nav mounting UserAdminMenu + existing CMS destinations. Locked.
  2. Admin create paths — DECIDED: surface path 1 (SuperRegister) + path 3 (registration-token form); do NOT surface the bare NewUser. Both of Daniel's two admin paths stay (they are not duplicates — provision-now vs. invite-by-email); the rev-1 "which single canonical create path" question dissolves because there are legitimately two. NewUser is redundant with SuperRegister and is hidden from nav.
  3. Reset Password — DECIDED: non-functional in v1, handled separately. Confirmed an upstream AuthBlocks gap (stub + no endpoint), not a DeepDrft bug. Daniel is running it as a separate AuthBlocks-repo effort with another team (see authblocks-password-reset-brief.md). The 19.2 verification pass must not file it.

Still open:

  1. Admin dashboard (G1-c) — defer or include? Recommend defer. Net-new surface beyond what AuthBlocks ships; v1 should expose the working pages, not build a new one.
  2. Package bump (G4) — now or separate? Bump Cerebellum.AuthBlocks.Web 10.3.33 → 10.3.35 in this pass, or leave it? Recommend leave it unless 19.2 surfaces a fix that needs it. Note: if 19.4 adds the package to DeepDrftPublic, pin both hosts to the same version to avoid a split-version RCL.
  3. Public-site auth footprint (19.4). Wiring ConfigureAuthServices into DeepDrftPublic pulls in the entire AuthBlocks client surface + cascading auth state — the public site gains a "logged-in" concept it does not have today. Acceptable for v1 (inert without gated pages mounted), but it is a real posture shift. Recommend accept it (it is the supported wiring path; scoping it down is bespoke work for no v1 benefit) — confirm Daniel is comfortable the public site becomes nominally auth-aware.
  4. Public route exposure (19.4). Adding the AuthBlocks RCL to the public router's AdditionalAssemblies exposes not just /account/register but also /account/login, /account/superregister, and the /useradmin/* routes on the public origin (all self-gating to UserAdmin, so not a data leak — but admin routes visible on the public host). Recommend: accept them as present-but-gated for v1 (simplest); narrow discovery to just Register later if the exposure bothers us. Flag if Daniel wants the narrow path now.
  5. Public-registration layout (19.4). Render /account/register in the full public chrome (player bar/nav/footer) or a lean auth layout (mirroring the CMS CmsHomeLayout splash)? Recommend full public chrome for v1, lean layout as polish.
  6. Public "Register" nav link (19.4). Add a visible Register link to the public nav, or rely solely on the invite email's deep link? Recommend deep-link-only — registration is invite-only; a public "Register" link with no self-serve code issuance invites confusion/abuse.

Items 69 shape the public-site track (19.4). 3, 4 are CMS scope/timing calls. None block 19.1.
