- src/lib/auth/bearer.ts is the single identity dispatch for both
server-side token consumers (RSC apiFetch and the /api proxy route):
local -> httpOnly tc_session cookie; clerk -> Clerk getToken() session
JWT. The Clerk SDK is imported lazily, so the air-gapped/local path
never loads it
- Runtime env (AUTH_MODE / CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY / CLERK_SECRET_KEY),
deliberately NOT build-time NEXT_PUBLIC_*: the same standalone image
serves both deployment targets
- Conditional <ClerkProvider> in the root layout (publishableKey passed
at render from runtime env); /login renders Clerk's <SignIn /> in
clerk mode and the local form otherwise; proxy.ts middleware delegates
to clerkMiddleware() only when active
- Helm: frontend deployment injects the Clerk keys from a Secret when
auth.mode=clerk
- mode.ts unit-tested (default local, exact-match clerk, loud failure
without the publishable key); the local path stays proven by all 29
journeys; the Clerk branch is thin delegation to the SDK, exercised in
deployment smoke per docs/clerk.md
157 Rust + 68 frontend tests + 29 Playwright journeys.
