Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- In
/ui/authnyou’re callinglogger.warning(...), but elsewhere onlylogger.info/logger.errorappear to be used; ifwarningisn’t defined on this logger it will throw during error handling—consider switching to the existinglogger.warn/logger.infostyle method or confirming the API. - The new
console.log('DEBUG: ...')calls in the Foxxuser_router(GLOBUS_TRANSFER branch) add a lot of noisy output and bypass your structured logging; consider either removing them or routing these through the existing logger with an appropriate log level.

Please address the comments from this code review:
## Overall Comments
- In `/ui/authn` you’re calling `logger.warning(...)`, but elsewhere only `logger.info`/`logger.error` appear to be used; if `warning` isn’t defined on this logger it will throw during error handling—consider switching to the existing `logger.warn`/`logger.info` style method or confirming the API.
- The new `console.log('DEBUG: ...')` calls in the Foxx `user_router` (GLOBUS_TRANSFER branch) add a lot of noisy output and bypass your structured logging; consider either removing them or routing these through the existing logger with an appropriate log level.

**🚨 issue (security):** Session cleanup for registration tokens no longer runs on error, leaving sensitive data in the session.
Moving the cleanup from a `finally` block into the success callback means `name`, `email`, `uuids`, `acc_tok`, `acc_tok_ttl`, and `ref_tok` are only cleared on success. Any exception in the `try` path now leaves them in the session until expiry. Please reintroduce an unconditional cleanup path (e.g., a `finally` block or a dedicated `try/finally` around session field removal) to ensure PII and token data are always cleared, even on errors.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**suggestion (bug_risk):** The serialized `state` object can become large and may risk exceeding URL length limits.
Because this includes `endpoint.rawData`, dialog metadata, and possibly many record IDs, the resulting OAuth `state` value may become too large for some browsers or intermediaries to handle. Consider trimming `rawData` to only what’s required, capping the number of record IDs, or storing the full state server-side and passing only a short lookup token in `state`.
Suggested implementation:
```javascript
// Serialize current state for restoration after consent flow.
// NOTE: Avoid putting the entire endpoint.rawData object into state,
// as it can become very large and cause URL length issues.
const rawEndpoint = this.props.endpoint?.rawData || {};
const endpointState = {
id: rawEndpoint.id,
name: rawEndpoint.name,
type: rawEndpoint.type,
};
const stateObj = {
endpoint_browser: {
endpoint: endpointState,
path: this.state.path,
mode: this.props.mode,
},
};
```
To fully implement the optimization described in your comment, you will likely also want to:
1. Identify where dialog metadata and record IDs are added to `stateObj` later in this function and:
- Trim any large payloads to the minimal data needed to restore UI state (e.g., avoid embedding entire records).
- Cap arrays of record IDs (for example, keep only the first N IDs that are required to resume the flow).
2. Optionally introduce a server-side state store:
- Generate a short token or ID on the server.
- Store the full state object server-side keyed by that token.
- Pass only the token in the OAuth `state` parameter instead of the full serialized state object.
3. Update the code that restores state after the consent flow to:
- Fetch the full state from the server using the token (if you adopt server-side state storage).
- Adjust any assumptions that the full `endpoint.rawData` object is available directly from `state`.

How do we test this? So that we don't have a regression?

#1824
Description
Fixed the Mapped Collection Consent loop bug, and added single domain auth for endpoints that require it.
How Has This Been Tested?
Going through the consent flow, and then browsing the endpoint after being granted consent.
Summary by Sourcery
Improve Globus consent and single-domain authentication flow, ensuring mapped collection tokens and UI state are handled robustly through the consent/login process.
