## Stack Auth → Hexclave rename — PR 5 (internal symbols, paths,
packages, brand strings)
PR 5 finishes the **internal / non-wire** half of the Stack→Hexclave
rename. It only touches things where nothing outside the repo depends on
the exact name: internal symbols, file/dir names, the
`@stackframe/template` package, and residual brand strings. Plan +
progress are in `HEXCLAVE-RENAME-PR5-PLAN.md`.
Every step was verified green (`pnpm typecheck` + `pnpm lint`, 28/28)
and committed as its own checkpoint, then a fan-out of review agents
audited all commits and the findings were fixed.
### What changed
- **Internal symbols** (`@hexclave/shared`, `packages/template`, apps):
`stack*`/`Stack*` → `hexclave*`/`Hexclave*` — incl.
`stackGlobalsSymbol`, the `_Stack*AppImpl` classes,
`stackAppInternalsSymbol`, `StackContext`, `getStackStripe`, etc. The
`stack*App` local-variable convention
(`stackServerApp`/`stackClientApp`/…) was renamed across 175
source/example/doc files.
- **File renames**: `hexclave-handler/provider/context.tsx`,
`backend/hexclave.tsx`, `internal-tool/hexclave.ts`,
`hexclave-app-internals.ts`.
- **Directory renames**: `lib/hexclave-app`, `hexclave-companion`,
`[...hexclave]` route segment, `skills/hexclave`,
`dashboard/src/hexclave`, and the package dirs
**`packages/{next,shared,ui,sc,cli}`** (dropping the `stack-` prefix to
match the `@hexclave/*` npm names).
- **Packages**: `@stackframe/template` → `@hexclave/template`; **deleted
`packages/init-stack`** (onboarding lives in `@hexclave/cli init`; the
published npm package is untouched).
- **Brand strings**: reworded `Stack Auth`/`Stack dashboard` prose in
code + docs-mintlify, renamed `hexclave-app.mdx`/`use-hexclave-app.mdx`
with redirects, regenerated OpenAPI, updated coupled e2e assertions;
`doctor`/`init` now prefer `hexclave.config.ts`.
### Intentionally kept (verified, not oversights)
Wire/compat identifiers (`x-stack-*` headers, `stack-*` cookies,
`STACK_*` env names, `*.stack-auth.com`, `stackauth_`, `ask_stack_auth`,
query params), public `Stack*` SDK aliases, crypto/JWT/vault
domain-separation tags, `*-brand-sentinel`s, the
`Symbol.for("StackAuth--…")` string, `_stack_sync_metadata`, Postgres
`stackframe` / docker image names, the `stack-auth-logo*.svg` (used by
the rebrand modal), and `migration.mdx` / "formerly known as Stack Auth"
notes. False positives (Phosphor `StackIcon`/`StackSimple`, `TanStack`,
`OrbStack`, `stackable`/`Stacked` charts) left alone.
### Review pass
Six review agents audited all commits. Found + fixed one real bug — a
build script (`bundle-type-definitions.ts`) hardcoded the old
`lib/stack-app` glob path (not an import, so typecheck/lint were blind),
silently emptying the dashboard AI type bundle — plus stale comments, a
dead CI env var, and stale `.gitignore`/`.dockerignore` entries.
Cross-cutting audit confirmed **zero wire-compat identifiers were
accidentally renamed**.
### ⚠️ Verification note
`typecheck` + `lint` are fully green locally. The **e2e suite was not
run** (needs a live backend+DB), so the brand-string assertion +
OpenAPI-regen changes are verified by grep/codegen only — please let CI
exercise e2e to confirm.
### Base-branch note
This branch was forked from the local-only `cl/friendly-lewin-72293f`
(not on origin, no separate PR), so this PR against `dev` also carries
that branch's ~11 preceding Hexclave-rename commits (config-file rename,
env-var dual-read, AI setup-prompt rebrand). If those should land
separately, re-parent before merge.

## Summary by cubic
Finishes the internal Stack Auth → Hexclave rename and cleans up
remaining stragglers, including dev-tool and prompt copy. All changes
are internal-only; public/wire APIs remain unchanged. Re-merged `dev`
and resolved the payments create-purchase-url conflict.
- **Refactors**
- Internal symbols: stack*/Stack* → hexclave*/Hexclave* (e.g.,
`getHexclaveServerApp` via `@/hexclave`, `getHexclaveStripe`,
`hexclaveAppInternalsSymbol`, `hexclaveSchemaInfo`, Prisma
`__hexclave_*`, `data-hexclave-handler-page`, Stripe mock
`hexclavePortPrefix`).
- Files/dirs: moved to `lib/hexclave-app`; handler route
`[...hexclave]`; backend entry `src/hexclave.tsx`; dashboard internals
`hexclave-app-internals`; companion `hexclave-companion`; dropped
`stack-` prefix across package dirs
(`packages/{shared,ui,sc,cli,next}`); workflows/emulator paths now
`packages/cli`; Quetzal codegen env at `packages/next/.env.local`.
- Packages/docs: `@stackframe/template` → `@hexclave/template`; removed
`packages/init-stack`; regenerated OpenAPI and updated docs
slugs/redirects for hexclave-app/use-hexclave-app.
- Brand strings/prompts: reworded remaining “Stack” dashboard strings to
Hexclave; updated dev-tool copy and prompts; `doctor/init` now prefer
`hexclave.config.ts`. Kept all wire-compat identifiers and public
aliases (`x-stack-*`, `stack-*` cookies, `STACK_*` env,
`*.stack-auth.com`, `Stack*` SDK names).
- Rebased/merged onto latest `dev`: retained `@hexclave/template`, kept
`src` in published files, refreshed setup-prompt imports and docs JSON,
adopted 1.0.5 version bumps, and re-merged `dev` again (resolved
`create-purchase-url` with `getHexclaveStripe`).
- **Bug Fixes**
- Restored dashboard AI type bundle by pointing the glob to
`packages/template/src/lib/hexclave-app`.
- Addressed rename leftovers: updated lingering `@/stack` imports and
CSS selector, fixed schema/meta and port-prefix expansions, and aligned
emulator commands to `packages/cli`.
- CI/build: removed a dead env var and stale ignore entries; fixed
Docker by renaming `STACK_SKIP_TEMPLATE_GENERATION` →
`HEXCLAVE_SKIP_TEMPLATE_GENERATION`.

## What
Continues the **Stack Auth → Hexclave** rename for a set of safe,
internal-only surfaces. This intentionally avoids public-contract names.
### Changes
- **Examples** — renamed the user-facing config module
`stack.ts`/`stack.tsx` (and the `convex` / `lovable` `stack/`
directories) to `hexclave`, and updated every importer across
`.ts`/`.tsx`/`.jsx`. The public `app/handler/[...stack]/` route segment
is left unchanged.
- **apps/{dashboard,backend,internal-tool}** — renamed app-local
SDK-init symbols `stackClientApp → hexclaveClientApp` and
`getStackServerApp → getHexclaveServerApp`, and the dashboard
`StackCompanion` component → `HexclaveCompanion` (incl.
`useStackCompanion`, context types). The public
`StackClientApp`/`StackServerApp` SDK classes are **unchanged**.
- **packages/stack-shared** — added comments to the crypto / JWT / vault
`stack-*` literals documenting that they must **not** be renamed (key
derivation / JWKS / KMS-alias stability). The literals are
byte-identical.
### Deliberately excluded
- **`STACK_*` → `HEXCLAVE_*` env-var rename** — `HEXCLAVE_*` already
resolves via the dual-read layers (SDK env, dashboard `_inlineEnvVars`,
`getEnvVariable`). The remaining holdout is the docker post-build
sentinel path, which the codebase authors explicitly deferred and which
is tightly coupled to `entrypoint.sh` + untestable here. A blind rename
there risks silently breaking self-host/emulator bootstrap for ~zero
functional gain.
- **All public-contract names** — SDK class names, env vars, HTTP
headers (`x-stack-*`), and the `/handler` route convention.
## Verification
- `pnpm lint` — **29/29 passing**.
- `pnpm typecheck` — **28/29 passing**; the only failure is
`@hexclave/docs` (pre-existing missing fumadocs `.source` codegen,
untouched by this PR).
- Two rounds of adversarial multi-agent review; findings fixed:
string-literal collateral from the symbol sweep (CLI test fixtures + an
AI-prompt template) reverted, and a missed `.jsx` importer in
`examples/cjs-test` corrected.
## Notes
- Based on a `dev` snapshot from when the branch was cut (a couple
commits behind tip); the diff contains only the changes above.

## Summary by cubic
Complete the internal “Stack” → “Hexclave” rename across examples,
app-local code, config tooling, and setup docs, and standardize env
output to HEXCLAVE_* with correct default API URL handling. Public SDK
classes, handler routes, and legacy env names keep working.
- **Refactors**
- Examples/config: `stack.*` files and `stack/` dirs →
`hexclave.*`/`hexclave/`; imports updated; keep `app/handler/[...stack]`
route.
- Apps: backend/dashboard/internal-tool now use `getHexclaveServerApp`
and `hexclaveClientApp`; dashboard `StackCompanion` →
`HexclaveCompanion`. Public `StackClientApp`/`StackServerApp` unchanged.
- Env/setup: Next.js and CLI generators write HEXCLAVE_* and omit API
URL when using https://api.stack-auth.com; CLI `doctor` and auth
resolution prefer HEXCLAVE_* (e.g. `HEXCLAVE_SECRET_SERVER_KEY`,
`HEXCLAVE_PROJECT_ID`) with `STACK_*` fallback.
- Config tooling: `stack-config-file` → `hexclave-config-file`, emitting
`HexclaveConfig`; imports updated across backend/dashboard/tooling.
- Shared/docs: added “do not rename” notes for crypto/JWT/vault
`stack-*` literals; regenerated setup prompt/docs to use
`hexclave.config.ts`, `hexclave dev`, and `src/hexclave/`.
- Tests: updated snapshots/assertions to expect `HexclaveConfig` and
HEXCLAVE_* env names.
- **Migration**
- No action required. SDK and CLI read both HEXCLAVE_* and STACK_*.

## Summary
**Stacked on [#1475](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/pull/1475)**
(`cl/hexclave-pr1`, the invisible compatibility layer). Diff vs that
base = the actual PR 2 code.
This is **PR 2 of the Stack Auth → Hexclave rebrand: the visible flip**.
Old wire identifiers (cookies, request/response headers, Bearer prefix,
JWT issuers, MCP tool name) keep working indefinitely via PR 1's
dual-accept. This PR flips every user-visible surface — package names
taught in docs, SDK class names in code examples, dashboard setup
snippets, page titles, error messages, email content, CLI binary,
default base URLs, GitHub repo slug, contributor guidance — to the
Hexclave brand.
See [`RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md`](./RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md) → *"PR 2: Rebrand
to Hexclave (visible)"* for the full per-work-area spec.
## What's implemented (per the plan's PR 2 scope)
- **SDK base URLs** flipped: `defaultBaseUrl` and
`defaultAnalyticsBaseUrl` in
[common.ts](packages/template/src/lib/stack-app/apps/implementations/common.ts:127)
→ `https://api.hexclave.com` / `https://r.hexclave.com`. PR 1's
[`getHardcodedFallbackUrls`](packages/stack-shared/src/utils/urls.tsx:199)
table now keys on the Hexclave domain.
- **Domain inventory sweep** (16 subdomains from the plan): every
`api/app/docs/discord/demo/mcp/skill/feedback/test/preview/r/api2/api.staging/idp-jwk-audience/built-with.stack-auth.com`
reference in production code, docs-mintlify, examples, READMEs, and
contributor guidance flipped to `*.hexclave.com`. Carve-outs: PR 1's
intentional JWT issuer dual-accept table in
[tokens.tsx](apps/backend/src/lib/tokens.tsx), the legacy `./docs/`
folder, the `unified-docs-widget` allowlist (deliberately accepts both
during DNS transition), and `url-targets.ts` hosted-component default
(baked into existing customer deploys).
- **`@deprecated` JSDoc** on every `Stack*` public export
([packages/template/src/lib/stack-app/index.ts](packages/template/src/lib/stack-app/index.ts)
+ [packages/template/src/index.ts](packages/template/src/index.ts)) —
`StackClientApp`, `StackServerApp`, `StackAdminApp` + every
constructor/options/JSON type, `StackHandler`, `StackProvider`,
`StackTheme`, `useStackApp`, `defineStackConfig`, `StackConfig`.
Hexclave\* aliases are now canonical.
- **Runtime `console.warn`**
([packages/template/src/internal/deprecation-warning.ts](packages/template/src/internal/deprecation-warning.ts))
— once-per-process when the SDK is loaded from a `@stackframe/*`
artifact. Detection uses the existing
`STACK_COMPILE_TIME_CLIENT_PACKAGE_VERSION_SENTINEL` (rewritten at build
time to e.g. `js @stackframe/stack@2.8.92` or `js
@hexclave/next@1.0.0`); `@hexclave/*` mirror artifacts short-circuit the
warning.
- **Tier 3 data migration**: new idempotent SQL migration
[`20260523000000_rename_internal_project_to_hexclave`](apps/backend/prisma/migrations/20260523000000_rename_internal_project_to_hexclave/migration.sql)
— updates the internal Project `displayName` 'Stack Dashboard' →
'Hexclave Dashboard' and `description` only if both still hold the
pre-rebrand defaults. Operator-renamed projects untouched, missing row
no-ops, re-runs are no-ops. [`seed.ts`](apps/backend/prisma/seed.ts:87)
default flipped. `getSharedEmailConfig("Stack Auth")` → `("Hexclave")`.
- **Tier 4 brand strings** (mechanical sweep, ~340 files):
- Page + OpenAPI titles (Hexclave API / Dashboard / REST API / Webhooks
API / Documentation). OpenAPI `info.description` documents
`X-Hexclave-*` headers as canonical with compat note on `X-Stack-*`.
- `HexclaveAssertionError` message text
([errors.tsx:71](packages/stack-shared/src/utils/errors.tsx:71)) — "an
error in Stack." → "an error in Hexclave."
- Known-error message templates
([known-errors.tsx](packages/stack-shared/src/known-errors.tsx)) flipped
to lead with `x-hexclave-*` + the new `docs.hexclave.com` URL; legacy
`x-stack-*` mentioned as compat aliases. **25 e2e test files updated in
lockstep**.
- Email content: failed-emails-digest body, sendTestEmail recipient (now
`sent-with-hexclave.com`), test-email-recipient default.
- `CHANGELOG.md` title → "Hexclave Changelog".
- `AGENTS.md` env var convention: new vars prefix `HEXCLAVE_` /
`NEXT_PUBLIC_HEXCLAVE_` for Category A/B; legacy `STACK_*` explicitly
noted as accepted via PR 1's dual-read.
- **CLI / init wizard**:
- Every dashboard setup snippet, init-stack template, and docs-mintlify
page teaches `npx @hexclave/cli@latest init` (was
`@stackframe/stack-cli`).
[setup-page.tsx](apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/projects/[projectId]/(overview)/setup-page.tsx)
+
[link-existing-onboarding](apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/(outside-dashboard)/new-project/page-client-parts/link-existing-onboarding.tsx).
- [init-stack](packages/init-stack/src/index.ts:634)
`STACK_*_INSTALL_PACKAGE_NAME_OVERRIDE` defaults flipped to
`@hexclave/*`.
- Generated `stack/client.ts` / `stack/server.ts` import from
`@hexclave/next` and reference `HexclaveClientApp` /
`HexclaveServerApp`.
- Internal `StackAuthKeys` dashboard component renamed to
`HexclaveKeys`.
- **docs-mintlify rewrite** (legacy `./docs/` intentionally untouched
per scoping decision):
- **78 MDX files swept**.
`@stackframe/{react,stack,js,tanstack-start,...}` →
`@hexclave/{react,stack,js,...}` in install snippets and code blocks;
`Stack*` SDK class names → `Hexclave*` in all code examples; 'Stack
Auth' brand phrase → 'Hexclave'.
- `openapi/{server,admin,client,webhooks}.json` titles → 'Hexclave REST
API' / 'Hexclave Webhooks API'.
- **Generators flipped before regeneration**:
-
[`packages/stack-shared/src/helpers/init-prompt.ts`](packages/stack-shared/src/helpers/init-prompt.ts),
[`/ai/prompts.ts`](packages/stack-shared/src/ai/prompts.ts),
[`apps/backend/src/lib/ai/prompts.ts`](apps/backend/src/lib/ai/prompts.ts),
[`apps/backend/src/lib/ai/tools/create-email-{template,draft}.ts`](apps/backend/src/lib/ai/tools/create-email-template.ts),
[`apps/skills/src/app/route.ts`](apps/skills/src/app/route.ts) (taught
MCP tool → `ask_hexclave` with compat note; CLI binary teach →
`hexclave`),
[`docs-mintlify/snippets/home-prompt-island.jsx`](docs-mintlify/snippets/home-prompt-island.jsx),
[`packages/template/README.md`](packages/template/README.md) +
integrations/convex/component/README.md.
- `generate-sdks` propagated changes to `packages/{react,stack,js}`.
- **OpenAPI dual-documentation**:
[`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/route.ts`](apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/route.ts)
now lists `X-Hexclave-*` headers as primary documented schemas with
`X-Stack-*` duplicates marked `.optional()` (both accepted at runtime by
PR 1's normalize-at-proxy shim).
- **`@stackframe/emails` virtual module**: dual-aliased to
`@hexclave/emails` at the bundler boundary
([email-rendering.tsx:89](apps/backend/src/lib/email-rendering.tsx:89)).
Stored email templates continue to import from either name; new
AI-generated templates and the system prompt teach `@hexclave/emails`.
- **Tier 2 mirror-publish wiring** (new this PR, lays the groundwork for
`@hexclave/*` first publish):
-
[`scripts/rewrite-packages-to-hexclave.ts`](scripts/rewrite-packages-to-hexclave.ts)
— rewrites 9 publishable `@stackframe/*` → `@hexclave/*` `package.json`
files (reads `HEXCLAVE_VERSION` env or `--version=` flag), pins
cross-deps to the shared `@hexclave` version, registers `hexclave` bin
alongside `stack` for `@hexclave/cli`.
-
[`.github/workflows/npm-publish.yaml`](.github/workflows/npm-publish.yaml)
appended with rewrite-then-republish step. `pnpm publish` skips
already-on-npm versions so reruns are safe.
- **Sender email domain**: `noreply@stackframe.co` →
`noreply@sent-with-hexclave.com` (the dedicated transactional-sender
domain split per the plan, to isolate bulk deliverability from
`hexclave.com` reputation); `security@` / `team@stack-auth.com` inbound
mailboxes → `@hexclave.com`.
- **Self-host docs**: docker network / container names in the bash
examples flipped from `stack-auth` to `hexclave` (`hexclave-postgres`,
`hexclave-clickhouse`, `hexclave.env`). The docker image tag
`stackauth/server:latest` stays per the plan's locked decision.
- **GitHub repo slug**: `hexclave/stack-auth` → `hexclave/hexclave` in
every `package.json` `repository` field, README link, CHANGELOG
raw-asset URL.
## Carve-outs (deliberately untouched)
-
**[`apps/backend/src/lib/tokens.tsx`](apps/backend/src/lib/tokens.tsx)**
JWT issuer dual-accept table — PR 1 intentional infrastructure, kept
indefinitely.
- **Legacy `./docs/` folder** — per scoping decision (only
`docs-mintlify/` rewritten).
- **`unified-docs-widget` hostname allowlist** — accepts both
`.hexclave.com` (canonical) and `.stack-auth.com` (transition window)
for DNS rollout.
- **`url-targets.ts`** hosted-domain default
`.built-with-stack-auth.com` — wire identifier baked into existing
customer deploys; indefinite read-fallback.
- **Binary visual assets** (logos, favicons, OG images, README
screenshots) — out of scope for this PR. Need design work; tracked
separately.
## Verification
- **`pnpm typecheck`** on
`packages/{template,stack-shared,react,stack,js}` + `apps/dashboard`:
**all green**. The remaining backend / e-commerce-demo typecheck errors
are pre-existing (Prisma codegen output +
`./generated/api-versions.json` not present in fresh worktrees without
`pnpm run codegen-prisma` + a live DB) and unrelated to this diff.
- **`pnpm lint`** on the same 6 packages: all green.
- **Final grep** for residual `Stack Auth` / `stack-auth.com` /
`@stackframe/stack-cli@latest` references: zero outside the intentional
carve-outs above.
- **25 e2e test files updated in lockstep** with the known-error message
changes (asserted strings flipped to match the new x-hexclave-* +
compat-note messages).
## Deploy blockers (ops sequencing before this rebrand goes live)
This PR is code-complete, but the rebrand's visible surfaces (SDK
default URLs, dashboard links, npm READMEs, REST error messages, runtime
deprecation warning) all point at `*.hexclave.com` / `@hexclave/*`
resources that don't exist yet. None of these are fixable from a PR —
they're ops/registrar/npm work that has to be sequenced before merging
this to a release tag.
Suggested ordering, hardest blockers first:
### Tier 1 — required before customer-facing deploy (everything below
this line *will visibly break customers on day 1* if skipped)
1. **DNS + TLS for `api.hexclave.com` + `api1./api2.hexclave.com`** →
must point at the same backend that serves `api.stack-auth.com` (or a
backend that mirrors PR 1's dual-accept). The SDK's new `defaultBaseUrl`
is `https://api.hexclave.com`; every customer that relied on the old
default and upgrades to a post-PR2 SDK build sends API requests here.
Until this resolves, every default-config customer's API call NXDOMAINs.
2. **DNS for `app.hexclave.com`** → the dashboard. Referenced in the
SDK's default-error messages ("Please create a project on the Hexclave
dashboard at https://app.hexclave.com"), the init-stack flow's
`wizard-congrats` redirect, and the OAuth dashboard handoff.
3. **DNS for `docs.hexclave.com`** + Mintlify deploy → the SDK runtime
deprecation warning (`https://docs.hexclave.com/migration`), every
README, every "Learn more" link in the dashboard, and every REST API
error body (`/api/overview#authentication`) points here. The MDX is in
this PR; the docs build target needs DNS.
4. **DNS for `mcp.hexclave.com`** → the MCP server endpoint that every
taught agent integration (`claude mcp add ...`, `cursor`, `codex`,
`vscode`) registers. Until this resolves, every `npx
@hexclave/cli@latest init` MCP-registration step fails.
5. **Reserve the `@hexclave` npm scope + set repo variable
`HEXCLAVE_VERSION`** → the mirror-publish step in
`.github/workflows/npm-publish.yaml` is gated on this variable. Without
it, the entire taught onboarding command `npx @hexclave/cli@latest init`
404s from the npm registry, *and* every README that says "install
`@hexclave/next`" leads to install failure. Pick the initial version
intentionally (`1.0.0` or aligned to `@stackframe/stack`); don't accept
a silent default.
### Tier 2 — required before announcing the rebrand publicly (lookalike
or low-traffic surfaces, but visibly broken)
6. **DNS for `r.hexclave.com`** → the analytics beacon
`defaultAnalyticsBaseUrl`. Silent failure if missing (analytics drops),
but should land alongside Tier 1.
7. **Register `sent-with-hexclave.com` + full email auth (SPF / DKIM /
DMARC)** → the new default sender domain for shared-sender transactional
emails. Without it the dashboard "send test email" path emits bounces,
and shared-sender flows (`getSharedEmailConfig("Hexclave")`) deliver to
spam at best.
8. **MX + SPF / DMARC for `hexclave.com`** → `team@hexclave.com` and
`security@hexclave.com` mailboxes. The security disclosure mailbox is
referenced in [`.github/SECURITY.md`](.github/SECURITY.md);
`team@hexclave.com` is the actual recipient of internal feedback emails
sent at runtime by
[`apps/backend/src/lib/internal-feedback-emails.tsx`](apps/backend/src/lib/internal-feedback-emails.tsx).
Today, every runtime feedback email bounces.
9. **DNS for `skill.hexclave.com`** → the canonical AI-agent skill fetch
URL (the agent bootstrap pivot). Without it, the entire "agent downloads
`SKILL.md` from a known URL" flow taught in
[`packages/stack-shared/src/helpers/init-prompt.ts`](packages/stack-shared/src/helpers/init-prompt.ts)
fails.
10. **Create `github.com/hexclave/hexclave` as a public repo** (even as
a redirect to `hexclave/stack-auth`) **OR** rewrite every `package.json`
`"repository"` field + dashboard footer "view on GitHub" link to point
at `hexclave/stack-auth` (which already exists). Currently every npm
package page's "Repository" link is dead, and the dashboard's GitHub
button + dev-tool repo link are dead.
### Tier 3 — broken but low-visibility / low-traffic
11. **DNS for `discord.hexclave.com`** → Discord invite redirect, used
in every README's chip and the dashboard footer.
12. **DNS for `demo.hexclave.com`** → "✨ Demo" badge in every npm
package README. Broken-image badge on the package page.
13. **DNS + TLS for `built-with-hexclave.com`** → optional
hosted-handler domain (the default reverted to
`.built-with-stack-auth.com` in this PR's carve-outs, so this only
matters for projects that manually flip).
## Other follow-ups (not deploy-blocking)
- **E2E snapshot regen across the full suite** for the dual-emitted
`x-hexclave-*` response headers (PR 1 follow-up; `vitest -u` in CI
absorbs).
- **Binary visual assets** — logos, favicons, OG images, README
screenshots; need design pass.
- **Backend OpenAPI fumadocs regen** in CI flow — the JSON files in
`docs-mintlify/openapi/` are committed but regen runs in CI. Verify the
workflow that does this still works against the post-PR2 source.
- **Backend typecheck infra debt** — needs `codegen-prisma` +
`codegen-route-info` to clear; pre-existing, unaffected by this PR.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI runs full e2e suite (with `vitest -u` to absorb residual
snapshot deltas, then committed back).
- [ ] Spot-check: new `@hexclave/cli init` (once published) generates
`hexclave.config.ts` and works against a fresh project.
- [ ] Spot-check: existing customer with `@stackframe/stack` import sees
the once-per-process `console.warn` recommending `@hexclave/next` on SDK
init.
- [ ] Manual: dashboard setup page renders the `npx @hexclave/cli@latest
init` snippet and the `x-hexclave-publishable-client-key` API header in
the curl example.
- [ ] Manual: a fresh `pnpm run prisma migrate` against a clean DB sets
the internal project displayName to 'Hexclave Dashboard'.

## Summary
**Stacked on #1468** (`docs/hexclave-rename-plan` — the plan doc). Diff
vs that base = the actual PR 1 code.
This is **PR 1 of the Hexclave rebrand: the invisible compatibility
layer**. Everything is additive. Old SDKs, old wire identifiers, and old
env var names keep working unchanged. The backend dual-accepts and
dual-emits; new SDK code emits `x-hexclave-*` headers and the
`hexclave_` Bearer prefix; cookies dual-write; env vars dual-read across
every category. **No user-visible rebranding lands here** — that's PR 2.
See [`RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md`](./RENAME-TO-HEXCLAVE.md) → *"PR 1
implementation guide"* for the full per-work-area spec, file pointers,
and chosen approach.
## What's implemented (all 14 PR-1 work-areas)
- **SDK export aliases** — `Hexclave*` aliases for the user-facing
`Stack*` exports added in `packages/template`; codegen propagates them
to `@stackframe/{js,stack,react,tanstack-start}`. React-only aliases
correctly excluded from `@stackframe/js`. (`e60550a2`)
- **JWT issuer dual-accept** — `decodeAccessToken` accepts both
`api.stack-auth.com` and `api.hexclave.com` issuers. Signing unchanged.
(`fc781def`)
- **Request-header dual-accept** — backend + dashboard proxies normalize
`x-hexclave-*` → `x-stack-*` at the existing empty proxy hook (so
`smart-request.tsx` and every route schema keep working unchanged); CORS
allowlists extended via a derive-once helper. (`2a056eac`)
- **MCP `ask_hexclave`** — registered alongside `ask_stack_auth` via a
shared helper; `ask_stack_auth` behavior byte-identical. (`30ffd604`)
- **Dev-tool** — DOM ids + header emit switched.
`window.HexclaveDevTool` exposed alongside `window.StackDevTool`.
(`32131ea7`)
- **The big consolidated commit** (`7fed864a`):
- **Env vars** — central `getEnvVariable` prefix-transform (HEXCLAVE
first, STACK fallback); dashboard + template client env files dual-read;
`turbo.json` globalEnv; `NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX` renamed outright
across ~82 files including docker.
- **Cookies** — dual-write/dual-read auth (`stack-access`/`-refresh-*`
and custom-domain variants), OAuth-state
(`stack-oauth-{inner,outer}-*`), and low-risk cookies (`stack-is-https`,
`stack-last-seen-changelog-version`). Bypass sites patched (backend
OAuth callback, dashboard remote-dev auth route, impersonation snippets,
snapshot serializer).
- **Bearer prefix** — SDK token parser accepts both `stackauth_` and
`hexclave_`; emits `hexclave_`. Discovery correction: this is purely
SDK-internal — the backend never parses it.
- **Response headers** — backend dual-emits
`x-hexclave-{request-id,actual-status,known-error}`; SDKs dual-read (new
first, stack fallback).
- **SDK request-header emit switch** —
`client/server/admin-interface.ts` + dashboard `api-headers.ts` +
`internal-project-headers.ts` + `feedback-form.tsx` switched to
`x-hexclave-*`. Plus `stack_response_mode` query param.
- **Storage keys** — dev-tool / cli-auth / oauth-button / docs keys
renamed (straight); `stack:session-replay:v1` dual-read so in-progress
recordings survive SDK upgrades; `stack_mfa_attempt_code` dual-read.
- **Query params** — cross-domain params dual-emit/dual-accept via
shared helpers; backend `oauth/authorize` accepts
`hexclave_response_mode` and `stack_response_mode`; `stack-init-id`
renamed.
- **`Symbol.for`** — app-internals symbol gets a parallel
`Symbol.for("Hexclave--app-internals")` getter on each attach site (no
read-site churn — old symbol still attached). 3 file-private symbols
renamed outright.
- **Config discovery** — prefer `hexclave.config.ts`, fall back to
`stack.config.ts` at every discovery site (CLI / dashboard / backend /
local-emulator); `init` writes the new filename; CLI credentials path
migrates.
- **Internal renames** — `StackAssertionError`,
`StackClient/Server/AdminInterface` renamed outright (no alias, per the
"internal-only → rename" rule). ~264 files touched.
- **Review-pass fixes** (`21217fbe`) — three real bugs found by parallel
review agents and fixed:
- `snapshot-serializer.ts` was interpolating the whole
`keyedCookieNamePrefixes` array (`${arr}`) — adding a second prefix
would have corrupted **every** OAuth-cookie snapshot, not just new ones.
- **Docker port-prefix producer/consumer mismatch** —
`entrypoint.sh`/`run-emulator.sh`/cloud-init `user-data` were still
producing `NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX` while the dashboard sentinel +
consumers had been renamed; silent self-host regression (custom port
prefix would be ignored).
- **Missing `hexclave-oauth-inner-*` dual-write** in the OAuth authorize
route — callback's fallback masked it but the dual-write was specified
by the plan.
- Plus: `mcp.test.ts` tool-list assertions updated to include
`ask_hexclave`; two dashboard header-emit sites switched to
`x-hexclave-*` for consistency.
- **E2E snapshot serializer follow-up** (`4b16cc5d`) —
`x-hexclave-request-id` added to the hidden-headers list (mirroring
`x-stack-request-id` treatment), and 2 sample inline snapshots
regenerated in `projects.test.ts` to include the new dual-emitted
headers.
## Verification
- **`pnpm typecheck`** — clean (the fresh-worktree `@/.source` / Prisma
codegen gap in `stack-docs` is pre-existing and unrelated).
- **`pnpm lint`** — 29/29 packages green.
- **`pnpm exec turbo run build --filter=./packages/*`** — 13/13 packages
build (including `@stackframe/stack-cli` once the dashboard standalone
is present).
- **Live E2E** against a running backend on `cl/hexclave-pr1`:
- `pnpm test run
apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/mcp.test.ts` — **6/6
pass** (verifies the new `ask_hexclave` tool — the hand-written inline
snapshot matched actual MCP server output).
- `pnpm test run
apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/projects.test.ts` —
**11/11 pass** (verifies wire dual-accept + dual-emit end-to-end; the
snapshot serializer fix was found and applied during this check).
A four-agent parallel **review pass** also audited the full diff for
logic/runtime bugs across the work-areas (wire headers + JWT, cookies +
bearer + symbols, env vars, query params + config + MCP + aliases). All
in-slice review verdicts were ✓ except the three bugs listed above,
which are now fixed.
## Known follow-ups (out of scope for this PR)
- **E2E snapshots across the rest of the suite** — backend now
dual-emits `x-hexclave-{known-error,actual-status}` alongside
`x-stack-*`, which legitimately appears in inline snapshots throughout
`apps/e2e`. Two were regenerated here as a sample; the rest should regen
with `vitest -u` in CI.
- **Docker shell env vars beyond `PORT_PREFIX`** — `entrypoint.sh` still
reads `STACK_*` env vars directly (the JS-side `getEnvVariable`
transform doesn't help the shell). JS consumers dual-read so it works in
practice; full shell-level dual-read is a deeper self-host follow-up.
- **`@stackframe/stack-cli` build ordering** — pre-existing; needs
`build:rde-standalone` first. Not affected by this PR.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI runs full e2e suite (with `vitest -u` to absorb dual-emit
snapshot deltas, then committed back)
- [ ] Spot-check: an old SDK build (emitting only `x-stack-*`) still
authenticates against the new backend
- [ ] Spot-check: a new SDK (emitting `x-hexclave-*` / `Bearer
hexclave_*`) still authenticates against an old backend during deploy
ordering
- [ ] Manual: `npx @stackframe/stack-cli@latest init` (new onboarding
entrypoint) generates `hexclave.config.ts`
- [ ] Manual: existing `stack.config.ts`-only project still resolves (no
migration required)

## Summary
Two related improvements to Stack Auth's AI setup story, both driven by
`packages/stack-shared/src/ai/prompts.ts`:
### 1. Clearer env-var guidance in the cloud-project flow (existing
commit)
The previous wording suggested `STACK_PROJECT_ID` should be prefixed via
a generic _"if available, prefix with your framework's convention"_
comment, and the backend section additionally listed
`NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PUBLISHABLE_CLIENT_KEY` — which the SDK does not
actually read in the cloud-project setup. Agents would dutifully
fabricate that third variable.
This is now spelled out:
- The exact prefix per framework (Next.js →
`NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PROJECT_ID`, Vite → `VITE_STACK_PROJECT_ID`, etc.) is
given inline.
- A note clarifies that on the client, **only** the project ID is read —
there is no separate publishable / client key.
- A note clarifies that the backend setup reads exactly two variables
(`STACK_PROJECT_ID` + `STACK_SECRET_SERVER_KEY`); a third slot in
`.env.local` is wrong.
### 2. First-class TanStack Start support (new commit)
Until now `mainType: "tanstack-start"` was silently routed through
`@stackframe/react` and inherited the React-only setup steps. Agents had
to guess at the TanStack-specific bits (where to mount `StackProvider`,
what to do with `routeTree.gen.ts`, how `useUser()` behaves under SSR,
where the handler route lives).
`prompts.ts` now:
- Recognizes TanStack Start as its own `mainType` and routes the install
to `@stackframe/tanstack-start`.
- Lists TanStack Start alongside Next.js / React in the
supported-frameworks list and the package table.
- Adds three TanStack-specific steps that don't apply to vanilla React:
1. Mount `StackProvider` / `StackTheme` inside the root route's
`component` (the inner React tree), keeping `shellComponent` as the
document shell.
2. Wrap `<Outlet />` in `Suspense` inside `RootComponent`.
3. Register the Stack handler splat at `src/routes/handler/\$.tsx` with
`ssr: false`.
- Surfaces the two notes that aren't obvious from the React docs:
`routeTree.gen.ts` is generated and shouldn't be hand-edited, and
`useUser()` resolves the SSR user from TanStack Start's request cookies
for free as long as `tokenStore: \"cookie\"` is set.
The auto-generated outputs
(`docs-mintlify/guides/getting-started/setup.mdx`,
`docs-mintlify/snippets/home-prompt-island.jsx`) are regenerated from
the prompt.
### 3. tanstack-start-demo SSR-vs-client examples
Two paired routes (`/ssr` and `/client`) render the same `AuthDemoCard`
so the SSR-vs-\`ssr: false\` tradeoff is observable side-by-side. The
new \`AuthDemoCard\` shows the resolved Stack Auth user (or sign-in/up
buttons) plus the snippet that produced it. The
\`ClientMountedUserButton\` workaround in the header is dropped now that
SSR cookie reading just works, and the empty \`Suspense
fallback={null}\` in \`__root.tsx\` is replaced with a
\`RouteLoadingState\` skeleton.
## Test plan
- [ ] \`pnpm typecheck\` and \`pnpm lint\` both pass on the touched
packages (\`stack-shared\`, \`tanstack-start-demo\`).
- [ ] \`docs-mintlify/guides/getting-started/setup.mdx\` and
\`docs-mintlify/snippets/home-prompt-island.jsx\` are byte-identical to
a fresh \`scripts/generate-setup-prompt-docs.ts\` run.
- [ ] In \`tanstack-start-demo\`, \`/ssr\` renders the user card during
the server response (no flash from signed-out → signed-in), and
\`/client\` renders the empty card on first paint, then resolves to the
user after hydration.
- [ ] \`/handler/sign-in\`, \`/handler/sign-up\`, OAuth callbacks, and
password reset all render correctly through the new splat route.
- [ ] Following the new TanStack Start prompt steps from scratch in an
empty \`npm create @tanstack/start@latest\` project produces a working
sign-in flow without any extra changes.

## Summary
- Adds the generated `@stackframe/tanstack-start` workspace package
registration.
- Adds TanStack Start platform macros/dependencies to the SDK template
and generator.
- Adds TanStack Start cookie/token-store support plus the handler SSR
guard needed by Start.
## Scope
This intentionally excludes Dashboard V2 routes, hooks, components, app
shell logic, and dashboard API type additions. Those stay in the
existing dashboard PR/branch.
## Validation
- `pnpm install --lockfile-only --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm install --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm -C packages/template lint
src/components-page/stack-handler-client.tsx src/lib/cookie.ts
src/lib/stack-app/apps/implementations/client-app-impl.ts`
Package typecheck was attempted with `pnpm -C packages/template
typecheck`, but the clean worktree lacks generated package declaration
outputs for workspace dependencies such as `@stackframe/stack-shared`
and `@stackframe/stack-ui`. Per repo instructions, package
builds/codegen are not run by agents.
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
