- Integrate Heartwood (GroveAuth) authentication into Grove applications. Use when adding sign-in, protecting routes, or validating sessions in any Grove property.
# Heartwood Auth Integration Skill
## When to Activate
Activate this skill when:
- Adding authentication to a Grove application
- Protecting admin routes
- Validating user sessions
- Setting up OAuth sign-in
- Integrating with Heartwood (GroveAuth)
## Overview
**Heartwood** is Grove's centralized authentication service powered by Better Auth.
| Domain | Purpose |
| ----------------------- | ------------------- |
| `heartwood.grove.place` | Frontend (login UI) |
| `auth-api.grove.place` | Backend API |
### Key Features
- **OAuth Providers**: Google
- **Magic Links**: Click-to-login emails via Resend
- **Passkeys**: WebAuthn passwordless authentication
- **KV-Cached Sessions**: Sub-100ms validation
- **Cross-Subdomain SSO**: Single session across all .grove.place
## Integration Approaches
### Option A: Better Auth Client (Recommended)
For new integrations, use Better Auth's client library:
```typescript
// src/lib/auth/client.ts
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/client";
export const auth = createAuthClient({
baseURL: "https://auth-api.grove.place",
});
// Sign in with Google
await auth.signIn.social({ provider: "google" });
// Get current session
const session = await auth.getSession();
// Sign out
await auth.signOut();
```
### Option B: Cookie-Based SSO (\*.grove.place apps)
For apps on `.grove.place` subdomains, sessions work automatically via cookies:
```typescript
// src/hooks.server.ts
import type { Handle } from "@sveltejs/kit";
export const handle: Handle = async ({ event, resolve }) => {
// Check session via Heartwood API
const sessionCookie = event.cookies.get("better-auth.session_token");
if (sessionCookie) {
try {
const response = await fetch("https://auth-api.grove.place/api/auth/session", {
headers: {
Cookie: `better-auth.session_token=${sessionCookie}`,
},
});
if (response.ok) {
const data = await response.json();
event.locals.user = data.user;
event.locals.session = data.session;
}
} catch {
// Session invalid, expired, or network error — silently continue
}
}
return resolve(event);
};
```
### Option C: Legacy Token Flow (Backwards Compatible)
For existing integrations using the legacy OAuth flow:
```typescript
// 1. Redirect to Heartwood login
const params = new URLSearchParams({
client_id: "your-client-id",
redirect_uri: "https://yourapp.grove.place/auth/callback",
state: crypto.randomUUID(),
code_challenge: await generateCodeChallenge(verifier),
code_challenge_method: "S256",
});
redirect(302, `https://auth-api.grove.place/login?${params}`);
// 2. Exchange code for tokens (in callback route)
const tokens = await fetch("https://auth-api.grove.place/token", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },
body: new URLSearchParams({
grant_type: "authorization_code",
code: code,
redirect_uri: "https://yourapp.grove.place/auth/callback",
client_id: "your-client-id",
client_secret: env.HEARTWOOD_CLIENT_SECRET,
code_verifier: verifier,
}),
}).then((r) => r.json());
// 3. Verify token on protected routes
const user = await fetch("https://auth-api.grove.place/verify", {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${tokens.access_token}` },
}).then((r) => r.json());
```
## Protected Routes Pattern
### SvelteKit Layout Protection
```typescript
// src/routes/admin/+layout.server.ts
import { redirect } from "@sveltejs/kit";
import type { LayoutServerLoad } from "./$types";
export const load: LayoutServerLoad = async ({ locals }) => {
if (!locals.user) {
throw redirect(302, "/auth/login");
}
return {
user: locals.user,
};
};
```
### API Route Protection
```typescript
// src/routes/api/protected/+server.ts
import { json, error } from "@sveltejs/kit";
import type { RequestHandler } from "./$types";
export const GET: RequestHandler = async ({ locals }) => {
if (!locals.user) {
throw error(401, "Unauthorized");
}
return json({ message: "Protected data", user: locals.user });
};
```
## Session Validation
### Via Better Auth Session Endpoint
```typescript
async function validateSession(sessionToken: string) {
const response = await fetch("https://auth-api.grove.place/api/auth/session", {
headers: {
Cookie: `better-auth.session_token=${sessionToken}`,
},
});
if (!response.ok) return null;
const data = await response.json();
return data.session ? data : null;
}
```
### Via Legacy Verify Endpoint
```typescript
async function validateToken(accessToken: string) {
const response = await fetch("https://auth-api.grove.place/verify", {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
},
});
const data = await response.json();
return data.active ? data : null;
}
```
## Client Registration
To integrate a new app with Heartwood, you need to register it as a client.
### 1. Generate Client Credentials
```bash
# Generate a secure client secret
openssl rand -base64 32
# Example: YKzJChC3RPjZvd1f/OD5zUGAvcouOTXG7maQP1ernCg=
# Hash it for storage (base64url encoding)
echo -n "YOUR_SECRET" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | base64 | tr '+/' '-_' | tr -d '='
```
### 2. Register in Heartwood Database
```sql
INSERT INTO clients (id, name, client_id, client_secret_hash, redirect_uris, allowed_origins)
VALUES (
lower(hex(randomblob(16))),
'Your App Name',
'your-app-id',
'BASE64URL_HASHED_SECRET',
'["https://yourapp.grove.place/auth/callback"]',
'["https://yourapp.grove.place"]'
);
```
### 3. Set Secrets on Your App
```bash
# Set the client secret on your app
wrangler secret put HEARTWOOD_CLIENT_SECRET
# Paste: YKzJChC3RPjZvd1f/OD5zUGAvcouOTXG7maQP1ernCg=
```
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `HEARTWOOD_CLIENT_ID` | Your registered client ID |
| `HEARTWOOD_CLIENT_SECRET` | Your client secret (never commit!) |
## API Endpoints Reference
### Better Auth Endpoints (Recommended)
| Method | Endpoint | Purpose |
| ------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------- |
| POST | `/api/auth/sign-in/social` | OAuth sign-in |
| GET | `/api/auth/session` | Get current session |
| POST | `/api/auth/sign-out` | Sign out |
### Legacy Endpoints
| Method | Endpoint | Purpose |
| ------ | ----------- | ------------------------ |
| GET | `/login` | Login page |
| POST | `/token` | Exchange code for tokens |
| GET | `/verify` | Validate access token |
| GET | `/userinfo` | Get user info |
## Best Practices
### DO
- Use Better Auth client for new integrations
- Validate sessions on every protected request
- Use `httpOnly` cookies for token storage
- Implement proper error handling for auth failures
- Log out users gracefully when sessions expire
### DON'T
- Store tokens in localStorage (XSS vulnerable)
- Skip session validation on API routes
- Hardcode client secrets
- Ignore token expiration
## Type-Safe Error Handling
**Use Rootwork type guards** in catch blocks instead of manual error type narrowing. Import from `@autumnsgrove/lattice/server`:
```typescript
import { isRedirect, isHttpError } from "@autumnsgrove/lattice/server";
try {
// ... auth flow
} catch (err) {
if (isRedirect(err)) throw err; // Re-throw SvelteKit redirects
if (isHttpError(err)) {
// Handle HTTP errors with proper status code
console.error(`Auth failed: ${err.status} ${err.body}`);
}
// Fallback error handling
}
```
**Reading session data from KV/cache:** Use `safeJsonParse()` for type-safe deserialization:
```typescript
import { safeJsonParse } from "@autumnsgrove/lattice/server";
import { z } from "zod";
const sessionSchema = z.object({
userId: z.string(),
email: z.string().email(),
});
const rawSession = await kv.get("session:123");
const session = safeJsonParse(rawSession, sessionSchema);
if (session) {
event.locals.user = { id: session.userId, email: session.email };
}
```
## Cross-Subdomain SSO
All `.grove.place` apps share the same session cookie automatically:
```
better-auth.session_token (domain=.grove.place)
```
Once a user signs in on any Grove property, they're signed in everywhere.
## Troubleshooting
### "Session not found" errors
- Check cookie domain is `.grove.place`
- Verify SESSION_KV namespace is accessible
- Check session hasn't expired
### OAuth callback errors
- Verify redirect_uri matches registered client
- Check client_id is correct
- Ensure client_secret_hash uses base64url encoding
### Slow authentication
- Ensure KV caching is enabled (SESSION_KV binding)
- Check for cold start issues (Workers may sleep)
## Error Codes (HW-AUTH Catalog)
Heartwood has its own Signpost error catalog with 16 codes:
```typescript
import {
AUTH_ERRORS,
getAuthError,
logAuthError,
buildErrorParams,
} from "@autumnsgrove/lattice/heartwood";
```
**Key error codes:**
| Code | Key | When |
| ------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `HW-AUTH-001` | `ACCESS_DENIED` | User lacks permission |
| `HW-AUTH-002` | `PROVIDER_ERROR` | OAuth provider failed |
| `HW-AUTH-004` | `REDIRECT_URI_MISMATCH` | Callback URL doesn't match registered client |
| `HW-AUTH-020` | `NO_SESSION` | No session cookie found |
| `HW-AUTH-021` | `SESSION_EXPIRED` | Session timed out |
| `HW-AUTH-022` | `INVALID_TOKEN` | Token verification failed |
| `HW-AUTH-023` | `TOKEN_EXCHANGE_FAILED` | Code-for-token exchange failed |
**Mapping OAuth errors to Signpost codes:**
```typescript
// In callback handler — map OAuth error param to structured error
const authError = getAuthError(errorParam); // e.g. "access_denied" → AUTH_ERRORS.ACCESS_DENIED
