feat: optional token auth middleware (AUTONOMOS_TOKEN) - #19
Merged
Conversation
Add opt-in authentication for the dashboard API and WebSocket routes. When AUTONOMOS_TOKEN env var is set, all /api/* and /ws/* routes require a valid token via cookie or Bearer header. Static assets remain public so the dashboard can load and show an unauthenticated state. - /auth?token=xxx endpoint sets httpOnly cookie (1 year, secure on HTTPS) - Timing-safe token comparison via crypto.timingSafeEqual - Scoped Hono middleware (only /api/* and /ws/*) - Startup prints clickable auth link for easy browser setup - Warns on empty/whitespace or short (<8 char) tokens Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Clean auth middleware implementation. Timing-safe comparison, proper httpOnly cookie with conditional secure flag, and the Bearer/cookie dual-path is well-structured. The length short-circuit in safeEqual technically leaks token length but is a non-issue for a self-hosted personal tool. Startup URL log is intentional UX, not a concern here. LGTM — ship it.
