Summary

Teach released Node and Python session middleware on the SaaSKit first-run path (SK-1707).

  • Quickstart — Node (Express | Next.js) and Python (Flask | FastAPI) construct the helper and protect one route. Go and Java stay on the OAuth primitives.
  • Manage user sessions — complete how-to for those helpers. SDK pages stay lookup.
  • LogoutGET /logout from the helper first. Old getLogoutUrl path is under Build it yourself.
  • Initiate signup/login and Complete login — keep OAuth code. One pointer to Manage session.

Django is a link to /saaskit/sdks/django/. The Next.js hosted-auth cookbook is out of this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added streamlined session-middleware guidance for Node.js and Python quickstarts.
    • Documented encrypted sessions, automatic token refresh, protected routes, login redirects, and middleware-managed logout.
    • Added setup examples for Express, Next.js, Flask, FastAPI, and Django.
    • Preserved manual authentication guidance for Go, Java, and middleware-free applications.
  • Documentation

    • Improved authentication navigation and clarified callback, login, logout, and session-management behavior.
    • Added framework-specific examples, fallback implementations, security guidance, and troubleshooting details.

Point Node and Python readers at the released Express, Next.js,
Flask, and FastAPI helpers. Keep Go and Java on the OAuth
primitives. Manage session is the journey hub.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation adds Node.js and Python session-middleware paths for login, callbacks, protected routes, refresh, and logout. It updates the Quickstart, session-management guide, OAuth journey pages, and planning records while retaining manual Go and Java flows.

Changes

SaaSKit session middleware guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation routing and scope
docs/adr/..., project-docs/..., src/content/docs/authenticate/fsa/manage-session.mdx
The ADR and SK-1707 define framework coverage, page responsibilities, journey ordering, and excluded areas. The session guide identifies middleware-supported and manually managed stacks.
Quickstart middleware flow
src/content/docs/authenticate/fsa/quickstart.mdx
The Quickstart adds encrypted session configuration and middleware examples for Express, Next.js, Flask, and FastAPI. It retains explicit Go and Java flows.
Session management implementation
src/content/docs/authenticate/fsa/manage-session.mdx
The guide documents middleware setup, encrypted sk_session cookies, route protection, automatic refresh, redirects to /login, and manual token handling as a fallback.
OAuth journey integration
src/content/docs/authenticate/fsa/complete-login.mdx, src/content/docs/authenticate/fsa/implement-login.mdx, src/content/docs/authenticate/fsa/logout.mdx
The login and callback pages link to session management. The logout guide documents middleware-managed /logout and the manual getLogoutUrl fallback.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2c86

The PR teaches session middleware through new first-run documentation, but the Python examples currently disable the Secure cookie flag, include a logout import that raises ImportError, and conflict with the shared redirect URI. The insecure cookie guidance creates a concrete security risk for copied production setups, so these examples should be corrected before merge.

show the callback, protect-route, and logout snippets on the
page instead of sending the reader to another guide.

After the visitor verifies their identity, Scalekit holds the user record. Your app still needs a callback endpoint that exchanges the authorization code for tokens.

If you already added session middleware, `/callback` is already registered. You do not write this handler.

Put the condition before the general claim.

Line 34 tells every reader that the app still needs a callback endpoint. Line 36 then tells Node and Python readers that they do not write it. Order the two sentences so the middleware case comes first, and drop the duplicate "already".

Standardize TabItem.value across the FSA pages. The current mismatch does not affect synchronization because tabs match by rendered label, but logout.mdx omits values and manage-session.mdx uses py while quickstart.mdx uses python.

Fix the Flask LogoutUrlOptions import in both Python logout examples. Import it from scalekit.common.scalekit; the top-level scalekit package does not export it, so the examples currently fail with ImportError as written.

Align the callback path across tabs.

REDIRECT_URI is http://localhost:3000/callback, but the Go tab (Line 287) and the Java tab (Line 313) hard-code http://localhost:3000/auth/callback. A reader who follows the Go or Java tab registers a different redirect URI than the shared .env block declares. Use one path, or state that Go and Java use /auth/callback.
