## Summary
Two small test-maintenance fixes that came up while running the suite:
- **Onboarding migration test**
(`apps/backend/prisma/migrations/20260420000000_add_project_onboarding_state/tests/default-and-updates.ts`):
switch the JSON insert from `\${JSON.stringify(onboardingState)}::jsonb`
to `\${sql.json(onboardingState)}`. This matches the pattern used by
every other migration test in the repo (see
`20260214000000_fix_trusted_domains_config/tests/*`) and lets the
`postgres` driver handle serialization and parameter binding
consistently rather than relying on a manual `::jsonb` cast.
- **Internal metrics snapshot**
(`apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/__snapshots__/internal-metrics.test.ts.snap`):
update `active_users_by_country.AQ` to list `mailbox-2` before
`mailbox-1`. The `should return metrics data with users` test signs in
`mailbox-1` (mailboxes[0]) into AQ first, then later signs `mailbox-2`
(mailboxes[1]) into AQ, so sorted by `last_active_at_millis desc`
`mailbox-2` should come first. The snapshot now matches that ordering.
No production code is touched — both changes are limited to test
fixtures.
## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/backend test run` (migration tests)
- [ ] `pnpm -C apps/e2e test run internal-metrics` (snapshot test)
- [ ] `pnpm lint`
- [ ] `pnpm typecheck`

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Tests**
* No user-facing behavior changed; test flows made more robust and less
flaky (migration validation, metrics ingestion polling, CLI expiry
checks, failed-emails digest expectations).
* **API / Documentation**
* CLI auth default expiration reduced from 2 hours to 2 minutes (updated
OpenAPI defaults and related test expectations).

DB migration compat / Forward-compat — Current branch code with ${{ needs.check-migrations-changed.outputs.base_branch }} branch migrations (push) Has been cancelled
## Summary
- The CLI auth-attempt schema in
`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/auth/cli/route.tsx` changed
`expires_in_millis.default` from 7,200,000 (2hr) to 120,000 (2min), but
the checked-in OpenAPI JSONs in `docs-mintlify/openapi/` were never
regenerated.
- This causes `lint_and_build` to fail on `dev` (and on every PR
branched off `dev`) because CI runs the codegen and then errors on the
resulting uncommitted diff.
## Changes
- Regenerated `admin.json`, `client.json`, `server.json` via `pnpm
--filter=@stackframe/backend codegen-docs`.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI's `lint_and_build` passes on this PR.

- Introduced a new API endpoint to fetch weekly and daily user metrics
for managed projects.
- Updated the dashboard to utilize this new endpoint, replacing the
previous daily active users data.
- Created a new component to visualize weekly users metrics in the
project cards.
- Refactored existing components to accommodate the new data structure
and ensure proper rendering of user activity charts.
This change enhances the analytics capabilities of the dashboard,
providing better insights into user engagement over time.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* New internal endpoint providing per-project weekly user totals and
7-day daily activity series.
* **Updates**
* Dashboard and project cards switched from DAU to weekly user metrics;
main metric shows weekly users and label reads "users/wk".
* Charts now display weekly-user-aware sparklines alongside daily
activity.
* **Tests**
* Added unit tests covering weekly aggregation and daily-series merging.

## Summary
- **Self-hosted CLI**: read `STACK_API_URL` / `STACK_DASHBOARD_URL` from
env in `stack-cli` so the published CLI can talk to self-hosted Stack
Auth installs without a custom build. The existing
`STACK_CLI_PUBLISHABLE_CLIENT_KEY` override is kept as-is.
- **Docker example**: surface the three CLI-relevant vars in
`docker/server/.env.example` so self-host operators see them.
- **Tighter polling-code TTL**: default `2h -> 2min`, max `24h -> 15min`
for the CLI auth polling code. The code is only valid while a user is
actively waiting in `stack login`, so a tight window limits the blast
radius of a leaked code.
- **Raw-SQL poll handler**: convert
`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/auth/cli/poll/route.tsx` from
`prisma.cliAuthAttempt.*` to raw SQL targeted at the tenancy
source-of-truth schema, matching the pattern already used by the
initiate handler in
`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/auth/cli/route.tsx`.
## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm typecheck`
- [ ] `pnpm lint`
- [ ] `pnpm test run` (focus on CLI-auth tests if any)
- [ ] Manual: `stack login` against a local backend
- polling code now expires after ~2 minutes by default
- `waiting` / `success` / `used` / `expired` branches still return
correct status codes and bodies
- [ ] Manual: published `stack-cli` against a self-hosted backend with
`STACK_API_URL` / `STACK_DASHBOARD_URL` set, end-to-end login

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Improvements**
* More robust CLI authentication polling with atomic database updates to
prevent races; returns explicit statuses (waiting/expired/used/success)
and provides the refresh token on success.
* **Changes**
* Default CLI auth token TTL reduced to 2 minutes and capped at 15
minutes.
* Anonymous refresh token is considered present only when not null; null
expiry is treated as not-expired.

## 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

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* TanStack Start integration: published SDK package, example demo app,
dashboard onboarding flow, framework-aware CTAs/docs, and a
TanStack-specific provider for client-only auth routes.
* Improved client/server auth: safer runtime guards and consistent
cookie/token-store behavior across SSR and client.
* **Documentation**
* New Integrations guide and expanded getting-started/setup docs with
TanStack Start examples and env/key guidance.
* **Chores**
* Template, build, tooling, and demo config updates to support the new
platform.

### Summary
Reworks `stack init` UX, adds Sentry error reporting to the CLI,
polishes the emulator start flow, and overhauls the local-emulator
dashboard's "Open config file" dialog.
#### `stack init` flow
- **New top-level flow.** Drops the old "link existing vs. create new
local" fork. `init` now asks *where* to create the project — "Stack Auth
Cloud" or "Local". Adds a new `create-cloud` mode that logs the user in,
creates a cloud project, mints keys, and writes `.env` — no round-trip
through the dashboard.
- **Conditional emulator-install warning.** The "Local" choice label
only shows "(requires local emulator installation, ~1.3gb storage
required)" when the QEMU image isn't already on disk; otherwise it shows
"(emulator already installed)". Driven by a new
`isEmulatorImageInstalled()` helper in `commands/emulator.ts`.
- **Auto-create on zero-projects.** When the link-from-cloud path hits
an empty project list, the CLI now prompts *"You don't have any Stack
Auth projects yet. Would you like to create one?"* and, on yes, runs the
same flow as `stack project create`. Skips the pointless "select a
project" prompt when we just created one.
- **MCP-server notice.** Before invoking the coding agent, the CLI
announces that it's also registering the Stack Auth MCP server
(`mcp.stack-auth.com`) so the agent can answer Stack-specific questions
going forward.
- **Local-emulator env header.** When `writeProjectKeysToEnv` runs in
`local` mode it writes a 3-line comment header above the keys explaining
they're emulator-only and only valid while the emulator is running.
- **"What's next" footer.** After setup finishes, prints a short
orientation block: where the sign-up/sign-in routes live
(`/handler/sign-up`, `/handler/sign-in`), how to start the local
emulator (for `create` mode), a dashboard deep link for cloud projects
(respects `STACK_DASHBOARD_URL`), and a docs link.
#### Sentry error reporting (`lib/sentry.ts`, `index.ts`,
`tsdown.config.ts`)
- New `lib/sentry.ts` initializes `@sentry/node` with PII scrubbing
(Stack key prefixes, JWTs, home-dir paths, sensitive field names like
`token`/`secret`/`password`/`dsn`).
- DSN is baked at build time via a tsdown `define` sentinel
(`__STACK_CLI_SENTRY_DSN__`) — no DSN in source, no runtime env-var
dependency for installed users. CI sets `STACK_CLI_SENTRY_DSN_BUILD`
before `pnpm build`.
- Disabled when `NODE_ENV=development` or `CI`. No user opt-out.
- Wired into `main()`'s catch (only for unexpected errors —
`CliError`/`AuthError` still print and exit cleanly) plus
`uncaughtException` and `unhandledRejection` handlers via a
`handleFatal` helper.
#### `stack emulator start` welcome
- After a fresh start (not when reusing a running VM, not when
`--config-file` keeps stdout JSON-only), prints a short "Emulator is up"
block with service URLs (dashboard / backend / inbucket) and common
commands (`status`, `stop`, `reset`, `run`).
#### Local-emulator dashboard "Open config file" dialog
The dialog at `http://localhost:26700` (when no project is loaded) used
to be a single text input asking for an absolute path, with no
explanation of where that path comes from.
**Backend**
(`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/internal/local-emulator/project/route.tsx`):
- POST is now tolerant of directory paths or paths that don't end in
`.ts`/`.js`/`.mjs` — it appends `stack.config.ts` and creates the file
if missing (`writeConfigToFile` mkdir's parents). Lets users paste a
project folder instead of hunting for the config file.
- New GET endpoint returns up to 20 most-recent `LocalEmulatorProject`
rows joined with their display names, sorted by `updatedAt` desc. Same
`isLocalEmulatorEnabled()` + client-auth gating as POST.
**Dashboard**
(`apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/(outside-dashboard)/projects/page-client.tsx`):
- Title changed to "Open your Stack Auth project". Description now
explicitly ties the file to `stack init`: *"Point the local dashboard at
the `stack.config.ts` in your project. If you just ran `stack init`, it
was created at the root of that project."*
- Added: *"Don't have one yet? Paste your project folder path instead
and we'll create stack.config.ts for you."*
- Recent-projects list (clickable rows that prefill the input) fetched
from the new GET endpoint when the dialog opens.
- OS-specific copy-path tip below the input (macOS ⌥-Copy as Pathname,
Windows Shift+RC Copy as path, Linux `realpath`).
- "Open project" button is disabled when the input is empty.
- All error paths (empty input, non-absolute path, server errors,
exceptions) surface via destructive toasts instead of throwing.
Why no native file picker: browsers do not expose absolute filesystem
paths from `<input type="file">`, drag-and-drop, or the File System
Access API. The backend requires an absolute path, so a Finder-style
picker isn't possible from a web page. The recent list + OS tips are the
workaround.
### Goal
The previous `init` flow dead-ended new users: if you had no project you
got an error telling you to go create one in the dashboard and come
back. The happy path also forced a choice between "link existing" and
"create local emulator" — not the question most users are trying to
answer. The emulator dashboard's open-project dialog had similar
friction: an unexplained path field with no recall of previously-opened
projects. And the CLI silently swallowed unexpected errors with no
telemetry. This branch makes the first-run path work end-to-end from the
terminal, gives the emulator dashboard a usable open-project surface,
and turns CLI crashes into actionable bug reports.
### How to review
- Start with `packages/stack-cli/src/commands/init.ts` — the whole
user-facing flow lives in `runInit`. Mode dispatch at the top,
`handleCreateCloud` is the new cloud branch, `printNextSteps` is the
footer, the MCP notice prints right before `runClaudeAgent`.
- `packages/stack-cli/src/lib/sentry.ts` is small and self-contained;
the sentinel-replacement contract is in `tsdown.config.ts`'s `define`
block. Confirm `dist/index.js` contains zero `__STACK_CLI_SENTRY_DSN__`
occurrences after a build with the env var unset, and the actual DSN
host after a build with it set.
- `packages/stack-cli/src/commands/emulator.ts` —
`printEmulatorWelcome()` is the welcome block;
`isEmulatorImageInstalled()` is the new exported helper used by
`init.ts`.
-
`apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/internal/local-emulator/project/route.tsx`
— the directory-tolerance branch is in the POST handler around the
`looksLikeConfigFile` check; the GET handler is appended at the bottom.
-
`apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/(outside-dashboard)/projects/page-client.tsx`
— dialog markup, recent-list fetch effect, `pathCopyTip` memo, and the
toast-based error handling in `handleOpenConfigFile`.
- Non-interactive (CI) paths stay strict: empty-project list still
errors with a pointer to `stack project create --display-name`. No
surprise project creation in CI.
- No tests. The CLI has no harness for the interactive flow;
verification is manual.

## Summary
Splits the Stack Auth MCP server out of `apps/backend` and into a
dedicated Next.js app at `apps/mcp/`, served on port `:42` (suffixed via
`NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX`) and exposed in production at
`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp`. The backend no longer carries the MCP
transport route; clients now point at the new host.
Base: `dev` → Head: `chore/move-mcp-to-a-sep-app`
Scope: 34 files, +1425 / −353
## What changed
- **New app** `apps/mcp/` — standalone Next.js + `@vercel/mcp-adapter`,
with:
- `src/app/api/internal/[transport]/route.ts` — MCP transport handler
(moved from backend)
- `src/app/mcp/route.ts`, `src/app/route.ts` — public landing + setup
page
- `src/app/health/route.ts` — health check
- `src/mcp-handler.ts`, `src/setup-page.ts`, `src/analytics.ts`
- **Backend** drops
`apps/backend/src/app/api/internal/[transport]/route.ts` (−105) — MCP
code is gone from the backend image.
- **Dashboard** install hint updated to point at
`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp` (was `/`).
- **Dev launchpad** gets an MCP tile so the new service shows up
alongside the rest of the local stack.
- **CI** workflows (`db-migration-backwards-compatibility`,
`e2e-api-tests*`) start the MCP service in the background before running
tests.
- **Docs** (`docs-mintlify`, `docs/`) and `init-stack` / `init-prompt`
updated to reference the new URL.
- **E2E** `apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/internal/mcp.test.ts`
reworked to hit the new host; `helpers.ts` and env files gain an MCP
base-URL var.
## Visuals
### New `apps/mcp` setup page (`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/`)
The standalone app's root now serves a self-contained MCP setup guide
with per-client instructions (Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Claude Code,
Claude Desktop, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI):

### Dev launchpad now lists the MCP service
New tile at port suffix `:42`, importance 2, alongside Backend /
Dashboard / Demo app:

## Notes for reviewers
- The MCP transport endpoint moved path: it was mounted under
`/api/internal/[transport]` in the backend; in the new app it's at the
same path but on the dedicated host. The public-facing URL is
`https://mcp.stack-auth.com/mcp`.
- `apps/mcp` ships its own PostHog analytics client (`src/analytics.ts`)
so the backend doesn't have to proxy events for it anymore.
- Port allocation: `${PORT_PREFIX}42` (default `8142` in dev). Picked to
fit the existing dev-launchpad importance-2 row.
- No DB migrations.
## Test plan
- [x] `apps/mcp` builds and `pnpm dev` serves on `:8142`
- [x] Dev launchpad renders the new MCP tile (screenshot above)
- [x] MCP setup page renders client tabs (screenshot above)
- [x] E2E `mcp.test.ts` updated to hit the new host
- [ ] CI green on `e2e-api-tests*` and
`db-migration-backwards-compatibility` workflows (they were touched to
start the MCP service)
- [ ] `init-stack` / `mcp.ts` install flow lands users on the new URL

### Context
There are some kinks to work out with deploying plan limits onto prod,
so we'd like to disable it temporarily.
### Summary of Changes
We update all call sites of the item quantity things with a flag based
check. Idea is when flag is set to true, it should function as if there
are no limits.
## Summary
- Renames the env var `STACK_SEED_INTERNAL_PROJECT_SECRET_SERVER_KEY` to
`STACK_INTERNAL_PROJECT_SECRET_SERVER_KEY` everywhere it is used (20
occurrences across 8 files), covering backend env files, the Prisma seed
script, runtime config, and the docker entrypoint/local-emulator
scripts.
- Mirrors the prior publishable-client-key rename in #1411.
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm lint`
- [x] `pnpm typecheck`
- [ ] Verify local emulator still boots with the renamed variable
- [ ] Verify any deploy/CI configs that set the old name are updated
alongside this change

## Summary
The `POST /api/latest/analytics/events/batch` endpoint was being dropped
by content-blocking browser extensions (adblockers) because the JSON
request body literally contains the substring `$click`. Many filter
lists pattern-match on tokens like that and silently kill the request —
analytics events from anyone with an adblocker enabled never reached our
backend.
This PR encodes the request body so keyword-matching filters can't see
those tokens, while keeping the URL path unchanged (only the body was
being matched here) and keeping older SDK clients working.
## Approach
- **Client**: gzip the JSON payload via the browser-native
`CompressionStream("gzip")` API and POST it as
`application/octet-stream`. Falls back to plain JSON if
`CompressionStream` isn't available (very old browsers / non-browser
runtimes).
- **Server**: a yup `.transform()` on the body schema detects an
`ArrayBuffer`/`Uint8Array` input, gunzips it, and `JSON.parse`s before
normal schema validation runs. The existing JSON path is untouched, so
requests from older SDK versions in the wild continue to work without
changes — and all existing schema-error snapshot tests still pass
verbatim.
- **Safety**: hard caps on compressed (1 MB) and decompressed (8 MB)
sizes guard against zip-bomb shaped abuse. `node:zlib`'s
`maxOutputLength` enforces the latter at the C++ layer.
Bonus: gzip also gives a meaningful bandwidth win — click/page-view
events compress very well — and keepalive bodies (which have a 64 KB cap
in browsers) get more headroom.
## Files
- `apps/backend/src/app/api/latest/analytics/events/batch/route.tsx` —
body schema gains `.transform()` that gunzips binary inputs; size limits
added; everything else unchanged.
- `packages/stack-shared/src/interface/client-interface.ts` —
`sendAnalyticsEventBatch` now routes through a new module-level
`encodeAnalyticsBody` helper that gzips and switches Content-Type. Same
outer signature; encoding is internal.
- `apps/e2e/tests/backend/backend-helpers.ts` — `niceBackendFetch` gains
optional `rawBody`/`rawContentType` params so tests can send non-JSON
payloads. Existing JSON callers unaffected.
-
`apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/analytics-events-batch.test.ts`
— adds two tests:
- happy path: gzipped binary body returns `inserted: 1`
- sad path: garbage bytes return 400
## Out of scope (intentional)
- **URL path renaming**: not all adblockers match on `/analytics/`, but
some do. We're shipping the body fix first and will revisit if requests
still get blocked after deployment.
- **Encryption**: gzip is enough to defeat keyword filters. Encryption
adds key-management cost with no real adversary.
- **SDK regen**: only `client-interface.ts` (in `stack-shared`) was
touched; `event-tracker.ts` (the caller) is unchanged because it already
passes a JSON string. No `pnpm -w run generate-sdks` needed.
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm typecheck` — green
- [x] `pnpm lint` — green
- [ ] Manually verify in dev: enable adblocker, click around with
analytics enabled, confirm batch requests now go through
- [ ] Spot-check ClickHouse `analytics_internal.events` shows the
expected rows
- [ ] Run the new e2e tests (`pnpm test run
apps/e2e/tests/backend/endpoints/api/v1/analytics-events-batch.test.ts`)
and confirm both new cases plus all preexisting snapshots pass
- [ ] Confirm the JSON back-compat path still works by hitting the route
with the existing JSON-body curl/test payloads

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Analytics batch uploads now accept gzipped binary payloads; clients
can send compressed bytes and the server will detect and decompress.
* Client sender can gzip event batches (falls back to JSON) and uses
keepalive to choose JSON vs compressed bytes.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Malformed, non-gzip, or overly-large compressed payloads now return a
clear 400 response.
* **Tests**
* Added E2E and unit tests plus test-helper support for raw/gzipped
request bodies and encoding behaviors.
