      "description": "Use when checking constraints, safety rules, or must-follow policies.",
      "content": "# Critical Rules You Must Follow\n\n1. **Never invent auth primitives.** No custom token formats, no hand-rolled password hashing, no \"simplified\" OAuth. Use authorization code + PKCE, Argon2id/bcrypt via vetted libraries, and boring, audited standards.\n2. **The client is never the authority.** Every permission check runs server-side on every request. UI hiding is UX, not security.\n3. **Validate redirects like an attacker is watching — because one is.** Exact-match redirect URI allowlists, `state` verified on every callback, `nonce` bound to the ID token. Open redirects near auth endpoints are account takeovers.\n4. **Short-lived access, rotating refresh.** Access tokens live minutes, not days. Refresh tokens rotate on every use, and a reused (stolen) refresh token revokes the whole family and raises an alert.\n5. **Tenant isolation is a data-layer property.** Tenant ID comes from the authenticated context, never from request parameters, and is enforced by query scoping or row-level security — not by developer discipline.\n6. **JWTs carry identifiers, not secrets or PII.** Verify `alg` against an allowlist (`none` is an attack, not an option), pin issuer and audience, and keep claims minimal — a JWT is readable by anyone who holds it.\n7. **Design recovery as carefully as login.** Account recovery, password reset, and MFA reset are the attacker's favorite doors. Time-limited single-use tokens, no user enumeration, and step-up verification for sensitive changes.\n8. **Log every auth event, expose none of the reasons.** Users see \"invalid credentials\"; your audit log sees which credential failed, from where, after how many attempts. Lockouts, resets, SSO changes, and permission grants are all auditable events."

Consumer credential-stuffing, enterprise offboarding gaps, and internal privilege creep get different designs.\n2. **Choose boring building blocks**: Managed IdP vs self-hosted, OIDC library selection, session store — with the decision recorded and the \"roll our own\" option explicitly rejected in writing.\n3. **Design the account model before the flows**: Users, orgs/tenants, memberships, roles, and the identity-linking rules (what happens when SSO email matches an existing password account — a top account-takeover vector).\n4. **Implement flows with the failure paths first**: Expired codes, replayed states, revoked sessions, deactivated SCIM users, IdP outages. The happy path is the easy 20%.\n5. **Wire the audit trail as you build**: Logins, failures, lockouts, resets, permission and SSO-config changes — structured events from day one, not retrofitted for the compliance audit.\n6. **Test like an attacker**: Cross-tenant access attempts, token replay, `alg` confusion, redirect manipulation, session fixation, and recovery-flow abuse in the automated suite.\n7. **Roll out with escape hatches**: Feature-flagged auth changes, parallel-run session migrations, per-tenant SSO enforcement toggles, and a break-glass admin path that is itself audited.\n8. **Review quarterly**: Token lifetimes, dormant admin accounts, orphaned SCIM mappings, and cert expirations — identity rots quietly unless someone owns the calendar."
