auth-pilot
Smallest trustworthy Briven Auth setup for a real browser test (dogfood kit).
For humans: follow repo root AUTH-GO-LIVE-CHECKLIST.md + BETA-V1-NEXT-STEPS.md.
For agents: follow the briven-auth skill.
What you get
Not a full product UI — a wiring kit:
- Next-style
middleware.tsthat forwards/api/auth/*to Briven lib/auth.tsusing@briven/auth- Env template for project id +
pk_briven_auth_… - One hosted sign-in button pattern
Email + password only is enough for a pilot. Turn on Google/magic link later in the dashboard.
If you enable two-factor: after password sign-in, users may hit the hosted
/auth/<projectId>/two-factor step (authenticator code or a backup recovery
code). In React apps use TwoFactorChallenge from @briven/auth/react.
For CI/e2e: mint a testing token in the dashboard (or admin API) and call
auth.signIn.testToken(process.env.BRIVEN_AUTH_TEST_TOKEN!).
10-minute dogfood path (recommended)
This is the Clerk-gap soft item: a second human can sign up without you pasting code at them.
# 0. Platform awake
# ./scripts/s6-auth-verify.sh
# 1. Copy this kit outside the monorepo (or use your real app)
cp -r examples/auth-pilot ~/Desktop/auth-pilot-dogfood
cd ~/Desktop/auth-pilot-dogfood
# 2. Wire to cloud (Convex-style)
briven setup --name auth-pilot
# or: briven connect p_YOUR_EXISTING_PILOT
# 3. Auth files + package
briven auth scaffold
pnpm add @briven/auth
# 4. Dashboard: project → Auth → Enable → API keys → create
# pk_briven_auth_… only (never put brk_ in the browser)
# 5. Paste into .env.local (do not commit)
# NEXT_PUBLIC_BRIVEN_PROJECT_ID=p_…
# NEXT_PUBLIC_BRIVEN_API_ORIGIN=https://api.briven.tech
# NEXT_PUBLIC_BRIVEN_AUTH_KEY=pk_briven_auth_…
# BRIVEN_AUTH_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_briven_auth_…
# 6. Run Next, open /sign-in
# 7. YOU: AUTH-GO-LIVE rows 3, 4, 7
# 8. FRIEND: same URL — sign up with their email (soft gap closed)
# 9. Isolation: second project must NOT list either user
# → ./scripts/auth-isolation-check.sh
Record pass/fail in docs/CLERK-GAP-EVIDENCE.md.
