## Code Review
### Spec Pattern Search (REQUIRED)
- Searched for existing spec patterns: `find spec -name "*spec.rb" | sort`
- Found existing auth-related spec files:
- `spec/requests/security_spec.rb` - tests API authentication via `X-API-Key` header
- `spec/features/sessions_page_spec.rb` - tests agent terminal sessions (NOT user login)
- `spec/models/agent_session_spec.rb` - model tests for AgentSession (NOT user login)
- **NOTE:** Existing "session" specs are for `AgentSession` model (terminal sessions), NOT for user authentication sessions
- Similar patterns found: Controller specs exist for API controllers with authentication tests
### Test Results
- Test suite run: `bundle exec rspec`
- Results: 700 examples, 2 failures, 7 pending
- **Note:** Tests run on current branch, not PR branch. The 2 failures are pre-existing and unrelated to this PR
### Spec Coverage Check
- Files changed:
- `app/controllers/application_controller.rb` - adds `current_agent`, `logged_in?`, `require_login` (25 lines)
- `app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb` - new controller for login/logout (27 lines)
- `app/views/layouts/application.html.haml` - adds user menu, removes API key modal (18 additions, 19 deletions)
- `app/views/sessions/new.html.haml` - new login page (55 lines)
- `config/routes.rb` - adds login/logout routes (5 lines)
- Required specs found: NONE for the authentication functionality
- Missing specs:
- `spec/features/sessions_spec.rb` or `spec/requests/sessions_spec.rb` - MISSING (tests for login page)
- `spec/features/authentication_spec.rb` - MISSING (tests for protected routes, redirect to login)
- `spec/controllers/sessions_controller_spec.rb` - MISSING (tests for login/logout actions)
- Tests for login with valid API key
- Tests for login with invalid API key
- Tests for protected routes redirecting to login
- Tests for logout clearing session
- Tests for session persistence across requests
### Code Quality Review
**CRITICAL ISSUE - Breaking Change:**
1. `ApplicationController#require_login` is added as a `before_action` that applies to ALL controllers
2. Only `SessionsController` skips it with `skip_before_action`
3. **ALL other controllers now require authentication** but no tests verify this works
4. This will break ALL existing feature tests (dashboard, kanban, tickets, etc.) unless they're updated
**Security Observations:**
1. `session[:agent_id]` is used for authentication - session fixation vulnerability possible (no session regeneration after login)
2. `session[:agent_name]` is redundant (can be looked up from `current_agent`)
3. No CSRF token considerations visible (form has `data: { turbo: false }` which disables Turbo but not CSRF protection)
4. API key stored in plaintext in session (acceptable since server-side)
5. No rate limiting on login endpoint (brute force vulnerability)
**Code Quality:**
1. `Agent.authenticate_by_api_key` is called but not defined in PR - assumes it exists on Agent model
2. `login_optional?` method provided for override but not documented in comments
3. Clean separation of concerns - SessionsController handles auth, ApplicationController provides helpers
**Implementation:**
- Matches ticket requirements: login screen, auth logic, protected routes, logout
- Uses Rails built-in session management (simple, no Devise/Warden)
- Login page is clean and user-friendly
### Decision
**FAIL - Missing Tests for Security-Critical Feature**
This PR adds authentication which is a **security-critical feature**. The following issues MUST be addressed:
1. **No tests for login/logout flow** - core authentication functionality is untested
2. **Breaking change without test updates** - ALL controllers now require login, but no tests verify the authentication flow works or that protected routes properly redirect
3. **Session fixation vulnerability** - session should be regenerated after successful login
4. **No rate limiting** - login endpoint is vulnerable to brute force attacks
**Required Actions:**
1. Add feature specs for login/logout workflow
2. Add request specs for authentication (valid/invalid API key, protected routes)
3. Add `session.delete` and regenerate session after login to prevent fixation
4. Consider adding rate limiting to the login endpoint
5. Update existing feature tests to authenticate first, or mark controllers as `login_optional` where appropriate
