Summary

Slice C of the Phase 1 auth removal. With the backend auth surface gone (#256, Slice A) and the dashboard auth UI gone (#255, Slice B), the installer no longer needs to mint a one-time-password lockfile to scope the first-run wizard's claim window — there is no wizard claim window because there's no password to claim.

−109 / +1 lines, 1 file.

Changes

installer/install.sh:

  • drop the First-run claim lockfile block (FIRST_RUN_LOCK + FIRST_RUN_OTP mint with uuidgen / /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid / python fallback; atomic temp-file + rename; idempotent reuse on rerun) — ~42 lines
  • drop the corresponding HAL0_AUTH_DISABLED=1 comment block from the api.env template generation
  • drop the Summary-block "First-run OTP" stanza (the dim-grey "lockfile: /var/lib/hal0/.first-run.lock" line + the "paste this into the wizard" hint) — ~13 lines
  • drop the late-stage "First-run setup token" lookup that re-reads the lockfile after services start + adds it to the summary — ~40 lines
  • change the Auth summary row from locked — finish first-run wizard to set a password to open on the trusted LAN — front with a reverse proxy if exposed

Intentionally NOT touched

… (Slice C)

Slice C of the Phase 1 auth removal. With the entire backend auth
surface gone (Slice A #256) and the dashboard auth UI gone (Slice B
#255), the installer no longer needs to mint a one-time-password
lockfile to scope the first-run wizard's claim window — there is no
wizard claim window because there's no password to claim.

What goes:

installer/install.sh
- drop the First-run claim lockfile block (FIRST_RUN_LOCK + FIRST_RUN_OTP
  mint with uuidgen / /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid / python fallback;
  atomic temp-file + rename; idempotent reuse on rerun) — ~42 lines
- drop the corresponding `HAL0_AUTH_DISABLED=1` comment block from the
  api.env template generation
- drop the Summary-block "First-run OTP" stanza (the dim-grey "lockfile:
  /var/lib/hal0/.first-run.lock" line + the "paste this into the wizard"
  hint) — ~13 lines
- drop the late-stage "First-run setup token" lookup that re-reads the
  lockfile after services start + adds it to the summary — ~40 lines
- change the `Auth` summary row from "locked — finish first-run wizard
  to set a password" to "open on the trusted LAN — front with a reverse
  proxy if exposed"

Total: 109 lines removed, 1 line edited.

Intentionally NOT touched
- installer/uninstall.sh still removes the legacy
  /var/lib/hal0/.first-run.lock file on uninstall so existing v0.1.x /
  v0.2.x installs with a leftover lockfile get cleaned up properly.
  Same pattern as the Caddy unit teardown in #254.

Sequence (Phase 1 auth removal)
- Slice B (#255, merged)  — frontend useAuth + Settings Auth panel
- Slice A (#256, in CI)   — backend auth modules + tests + dependency arrays
- Slice C (this PR)        — installer first-run-lock / OTP / password prompt
- Slice D                  — ADR-0011 marking ADR-0001 superseded, README,
                              docs/operate/auth.md delete, CHANGELOG, version bump

Verification
- bash -n installer/install.sh clean
- Zero FIRST_RUN_LOCK / FIRST_RUN_OTP / first-run-wizard-password refs
  remain in install.sh

…ice D) (#267)

Final slice of the Phase 1 auth removal. Closes the architectural
loop opened by ADR-0001, surfaces the breaking change to operators,
bumps the version, and patches the one test that #256 missed.

ADR
- New: docs/internal/adr/0012-remove-auth-and-caddy.md — accepts the
  removal direction, references the four implementing PRs
  (#254, #255, #256, #266), records what was deleted (~6,000 LOC) and
  what stays (uninstall cleanup, MCPAuthMiddleware as identity stash,
  bcrypt/PyJWT/argon2 deps untouched), and frames the v0.3 stream-4
  follow-up work (MCPIdentityMiddleware rename, Hermes header swap).
  Note: numbered 0012 because 0011 was taken by agent-identity-cards
  via PR #239 while the auth-removal work was in flight — the original
  briefing's "ADR-0011" suggestion was stale by the time it landed.
- ADR-0001 frontmatter flipped to `Status: Superseded by ADR-0012
  (2026-05-23)` with a paragraph explaining why "FastAPI owns auth"
  ended up being transitional.

Docs
- docs/operate/auth.mdx — full rewrite. The old page documented Caddy
  + basic_auth + the LAN-vs-WAN wizard flow; the new page tells
  operators hal0 ships open on a trusted LAN and gives three concrete
  upstream-proxy patterns (Traefik, nginx, Cloudflare Tunnel) with
  copy-pasteable configs. OpenWebUI's own `WEBUI_AUTH_TRUSTED_EMAIL_HEADER`
  override is documented for the upstream-proxy SSO case.
- README.md
  - drop "password setup → bundle pick" from the first-run feature line
  - rewrite the "Auth posture" section: references ADR-0012, drops
    the FIRST_RUN_LOCK / OTP / wizard-password-step prose, points at
    docs/operate/auth.mdx for upstream-proxy patterns
- CHANGELOG.md
  - new top-level [v0.3.0-alpha.1] — 2026-05-23 entry
  - Breaking: auth gone, Caddy gone, `--no-tls` gone, HAL0_AUTH_*
    env vars are no-ops, Bearer tokens minted under v0.2.x stop working
  - New / improved: v3 dashboard on main + normalizers (#235/#249/#253),
    /v1/* proxy (#248/#212), footer nullability (#252/#221), Settings
    default tab → Secrets
  - Removed code: per-file accounting of the ~6,000 deletions
  - Upgrade notes: lose-your-password warning, drop --no-tls flag

Tests
- tests/openwebui/test_env_writer.py
  - delete `test_auth_disabled_keeps_webui_auth_false` (covered by the
    rewritten test below)
  - delete `test_auth_enabled_flips_webui_auth_true` (the one test that
    failed CI on #256 — was asserting the now-removed
    HAL0_AUTH_ENABLED→WEBUI_AUTH=True branching)
  - delete `test_auth_falsy_values_keep_defaults` (parametrized
    sibling, same removed branching)
  - delete `test_overrides_still_win_under_auth` (same)
  - add `test_webui_auth_is_always_false_by_default` (defensive: the
    env vars are gone, WEBUI_AUTH stays False regardless)
  - add `test_trusted_email_header_via_explicit_override` (documents
    the new opt-in path through the `overrides` parameter)

Version
- pyproject.toml: 0.2.0-alpha.3 → 0.3.0-alpha.1
  (single source of truth per memory hal0_version_two_locations —
  src/hal0/__init__.py reads via importlib.metadata)

Sequence (Phase 1 complete)
- Slice B (#255, merged)
- Slice A (#256, merged with admin-override since this test failure
  was the only blocker; resolved here)
- Slice C (#266, in CI)
- Slice D (this PR)

Follow-up (per the user's briefing, not in this PR)
- Update Hermes bootstrap plan + ADR-0011 (agent identity cards) to
  drop bearer references and switch to X-hal0-Agent identity header
- Edit issues #240 / #243 / #246 to drop bearer-token acceptance
  criteria
- Rename MCPAuthMiddleware → MCPIdentityMiddleware in mcp_mount.py
- Update auto-memory feedback-caddy-reduction-divergence to note the
  direction landed
