Authentication Architecture

All projects use mana-core-auth as the central authentication service:

┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐
│   Client    │────>│  Backend    │────>│ mana-core-auth │
│ (Web/Mobile)│     │  (NestJS)   │     │  (port 3001)   │
└─────────────┘     └─────────────┘     └────────────────┘
      │                   │                     │
      │ Bearer token      │ POST /validate      │
      │                   │ {token}             │
      │                   │<────────────────────│
      │                   │ {valid, payload}    │
      │<──────────────────│                     │
      │ Response          │                     │

Key Components

Component	Purpose
services/mana-core-auth	Central auth service (Better Auth + EdDSA JWT)
@manacore/shared-nestjs-auth	Shared NestJS guards/decorators for JWT validation
@mana-core/nestjs-integration	Extended NestJS module with auth + credits
@manacore/shared-auth	Client-side auth for web/mobile apps

NestJS Backend Integration

Option 1: Simple auth only - Use @manacore/shared-nestjs-auth:

// In your controller
import { JwtAuthGuard, CurrentUser, CurrentUserData } from '@manacore/shared-nestjs-auth';

@Controller('api')
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
export class MyController {
	@Get('profile')
	getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: CurrentUserData) {
		return { userId: user.userId, email: user.email };
	}
}

Option 2: Auth + Credits - Use @mana-core/nestjs-integration:

// app.module.ts
import { ManaCoreModule } from '@mana-core/nestjs-integration';

@Module({
	imports: [
		ManaCoreModule.forRootAsync({
			imports: [ConfigModule],
			useFactory: (config: ConfigService) => ({
				appId: config.get('APP_ID'),
				serviceKey: config.get('MANA_CORE_SERVICE_KEY'),
				debug: config.get('NODE_ENV') === 'development',
			}),
			inject: [ConfigService],
		}),
	],
})
export class AppModule {}

// In controller
import { AuthGuard } from '@mana-core/nestjs-integration/guards';
import { CurrentUser } from '@mana-core/nestjs-integration/decorators';
import { CreditClientService } from '@mana-core/nestjs-integration';

@Controller('api')
@UseGuards(AuthGuard)
export class ApiController {
	constructor(private creditClient: CreditClientService) {}

	@Post('generate')
	async generate(@CurrentUser() user: any) {
		await this.creditClient.consumeCredits(user.sub, 'generation', 10, 'AI generation');
		// ... do work
	}
}

Required Environment Variables

# All backends need this
MANA_CORE_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3001

# For development bypass (optional)
NODE_ENV=development
DEV_BYPASS_AUTH=true
DEV_USER_ID=your-test-user-id

# For credit operations (optional)
MANA_CORE_SERVICE_KEY=your-service-key
APP_ID=your-app-id

JWT Token Structure (EdDSA)

{
	"sub": "user-id",
	"email": "user@example.com",
	"role": "user",
	"sid": "session-id",
	"exp": 1764606251,
	"iss": "manacore",
	"aud": "manacore"
}

Testing Auth Integration

# 1. Start mana-core-auth
pnpm dev:auth

# 2. Start a backend (e.g., Zitare)
pnpm dev:zitare:backend

# 3. Get a token
TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/v1/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "password": "password"}' | jq -r '.accessToken')

# 4. Call protected endpoint
curl http://localhost:3007/api/favorites \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Integrated Backends

Backend	Package	Port
Chat	@mana-core/nestjs-integration	3002
Picture	@manacore/shared-nestjs-auth	3006
Zitare	@manacore/shared-nestjs-auth	3007
Presi	Custom (same pattern)	3008
ManaDeck	@mana-core/nestjs-integration	3009

Svelte 5 Runes Mode (Web Apps)

All SvelteKit apps use Svelte 5 runes:

// CORRECT - Svelte 5
let count = $state(0);
let doubled = $derived(count * 2);
$effect(() => {
	console.log(count);
});

// WRONG - Old Svelte syntax
let count = 0;
$: doubled = count * 2;

Shared Packages (packages/)

Package	Purpose
@manacore/shared-nestjs-auth	NestJS JWT validation guards via mana-core-auth
@mana-core/nestjs-integration	NestJS module with auth guards + credit client
@manacore/shared-auth	Client-side auth service for web/mobile apps
@manacore/shared-supabase	Unified Supabase client
@manacore/shared-types	Common TypeScript types
@manacore/shared-utils	Utility functions
@manacore/shared-ui	React Native UI components
@manacore/shared-theme	Theme configuration
@manacore/shared-i18n	Internationalization

Import shared packages:

import { createAuthService } from '@manacore/shared-auth';
import { formatDate, truncate } from '@manacore/shared-utils';

Database (Supabase)

• All projects use Supabase for PostgreSQL database, auth, and storage
• Row Level Security (RLS) policies enforce access control via JWT claims
• Each project has its own Supabase project/schema
• Types typically generated via supabase gen types

Adding Dependencies

# Add to workspace root (dev tools only)
pnpm add -D <package> -w

# Add to specific project
pnpm add <package> --filter memoro

# Add to specific app within project
pnpm add <package> --filter @memoro/mobile

# Add to shared package
pnpm add <package> --filter @manacore/shared-utils

Environment Variables

Centralized Development Environment

All development environment variables are managed from a single file: .env.development

# First-time setup: generates all app-specific .env files
pnpm setup:env

# This also runs automatically after `pnpm install`

The script reads .env.development and generates platform-specific .env files for each app with the correct prefixes:

• Expo mobile: EXPO_PUBLIC_* prefix
• SvelteKit web: PUBLIC_* prefix
• NestJS backend: No prefix

Key Files

• .env.development - Central source of truth (committed to git)
• scripts/generate-env.mjs - Generation script
• apps/**/apps/**/.env - Generated files (gitignored)

Adding New Variables

1. Add the variable to .env.development
2. Update scripts/generate-env.mjs to map it to the appropriate apps
3. Run pnpm setup:env to regenerate

Platform Prefix Patterns

Mobile (Expo):

EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=...
EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=...
EXPO_PUBLIC_MIDDLEWARE_API_URL=...

Web (SvelteKit):

PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=...
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=...

Backend (NestJS):

SUPABASE_URL=...
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=...
PORT=...

Project-Specific Documentation

• docs/ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.md - Complete environment setup guide

Each project has its own CLAUDE.md with detailed information:

• apps/manacore/CLAUDE.md - Multi-app ecosystem, auth details
• apps/manadeck/CLAUDE.md - Card/deck management
• apps/chat/CLAUDE.md - Chat API endpoints, AI models
• apps/picture/CLAUDE.md - AI image generation
• services/mana-core-auth/ - Central authentication service

Navigate to the specific project directory to work on it.

Code Quality Infrastructure (TODO)

A detailed plan for code quality tooling is available at .claude/plans/proud-dancing-moon.md. When ready to implement:

Planned Setup

• Pre-commit hooks: Husky + lint-staged (format + lint on commit)
• Commit messages: Commitlint with Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, etc.)
• CI Pipeline: GitHub Actions PR checks (lint, format, type-check, tests)
• Formatting: Tabs, single quotes, 100 char width (unified across all projects)
• Test coverage: 80% minimum for new code (once testing infrastructure is in place)

Key Files to Create

.husky/pre-commit          # Run lint-staged
.husky/commit-msg          # Run commitlint
commitlint.config.js       # Conventional commit rules
.github/workflows/pr-check.yml  # CI pipeline
packages/eslint-config/    # Shared ESLint configuration

Current State

• Testing: ~25 test files total (sparse coverage)
• Linting: Fragmented configs across projects
• CI: Only 2 backend deployment workflows exist
• Pre-commit: Only maerchenzauber has Husky (SSH URL fixer only)
