## What
The `description` field in `skills/stack-auth/SKILL.md` failed to parse
as YAML, surfacing on GitHub as:
> Error in user YAML: (<unknown>): mapping values are not allowed in
this context at line 2 column 338
## Why
The `description` was an **unquoted** YAML scalar containing a
colon-space sequence:
> …live, canonical instructions for every Stack Auth surface, including
the CLI**: **how to model users…
In YAML, `: ` inside an unquoted scalar is parsed as a key/value
mapping, which is illegal mid-value — hence *"mapping values are not
allowed in this context."*
## Fix
Wrapped the `description` value in **single** quotes. Single quotes (not
double) because the string already contains embedded double quotes
(`"stack auth"`, `"skill"`) but no apostrophes, so no escaping is
needed.
Verified the frontmatter now parses cleanly — all 9 keys (`name`,
`description`, `version`, `author`, `tags`, `testingTypes`,
`frameworks`, `languages`, `domains`) load via `yaml.safe_load`.
## Notes
- One-line change, content of the description is unchanged.
- The unrelated `@stackframe/dashboard` typecheck failure on this branch
comes from a stale generated `.next/dev/types/routes.d.ts` build
artifact and is not touched by this PR.

## Summary by cubic
Fixes YAML frontmatter parsing in skills/stack-auth/SKILL.md by quoting
the description, removing the “mapping values are not allowed in this
context” error. Wrapped the description in single quotes to prevent the
`CLI: how...` colon-space from being parsed as a mapping.

## 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
- Forward Babel/JSX compile errors, runtime throws, and unhandled
rejections from the AI dashboard sandbox iframe to the parent composer
via `postMessage`, so users see actionable errors instead of a blank
preview
- Compile AI-generated dashboard source explicitly with
`Babel.transform` + try/catch (stored in `text/plain` to avoid Babel's
auto-handler swallowing parse errors) and add `crossorigin="anonymous"`
on the Babel script for readable cross-origin error messages
- Switch authenticated smart-tier model from
`moonshotai/kimi-k2.6:nitro` to `x-ai/grok-build-0.1`
## Test plan
- [ ] Generate a dashboard with valid AI code and confirm the preview
still renders
- [ ] Generate a dashboard with invalid JSX and confirm the composer
shows the compile error (not a blank iframe)
- [ ] Trigger a runtime error in generated dashboard code and confirm it
reaches the parent error boundary
- [ ] Verify authenticated smart-tier requests route to
`x-ai/grok-build-0.1`

## Summary
- Add an admin-only delete endpoint and SDK method to remove managed
email domains, with Resend/DNSimple cleanup and a guard against deleting
domains currently in use for sending.
- Add dashboard UI to remove unused managed domains (with confirmation)
and improve the DNS setup step with Cloudflare detection, zone file
download, and import instructions.
- Add E2E coverage for delete auth, success, in-use rejection,
post-switch deletion, and 404 cases.
## Test plan
- [ ] Run `pnpm test run managed-email-onboarding`
- [ ] In dashboard email settings, add a managed domain and verify
Cloudflare hint appears when NS records point to Cloudflare
- [ ] Remove an unused managed domain and confirm it disappears from the
list
- [ ] Verify active (in-use) managed domains cannot be deleted until
email provider is switched away

## Summary
In preview-mode deployments (`NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_IS_PREVIEW=true`) the
project overview dashboard reported **0 total users, 0 monthly active
users, and no live users** on the globe. The internal metrics endpoint
reads user/team totals from the ClickHouse `analytics_internal.*` tables
and "live users" from recent `$token-refresh` events — but those tables
are normally filled by the external-db-sync pipeline, which does not run
in preview deployments, so they were empty.
This makes the preview/demo dummy-data seeder populate ClickHouse
directly:
- **`seedDummyAnalyticsMirrorTables`** — mirrors the seeded users /
teams / contact channels into `analytics_internal.users` / `teams` /
`contact_channels` so the metrics endpoint reports real totals.
- **`seedDummyLiveTokenRefreshEvents`** — emits recent `$token-refresh`
events across distinct countries so the overview globe shows live users.
- **Timestamp clamping** — `bulkRandomTimestampOnDay` and the
page-view/click timestamps are clamped so seeded events are never dated
in the future (future-dated events permanently matched the unbounded
"live users" query).
- **`buildTokenRefreshClickhouseRow`** — shared helper for the
`$token-refresh` ClickHouse row shape.
- **`create-project`** — pre-warms the ClickHouse connection so the
seeding inserts don't pay the cold-start cost.
- **`projects-metrics`** — types the ClickHouse `.json()` results (fixes
a `tsc` error).
Also bundles a seeding performance optimization that skips redundant
idempotency lookups when seeding a brand-new project.
Notes:
- Seeded mirror rows use `sync_sequence_id = 0` so that if the
external-db-sync pipeline ever does run for the project, any real update
supersedes the seeded placeholder under `ReplacingMergeTree` + `FINAL`.
- "Live users" naturally decays out of the ~2-minute window a couple of
minutes after project creation; preview creates a fresh project per
visit, so the initial overview always shows them.
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm --filter @stackframe/backend typecheck` passes
- [x] `pnpm --filter @stackframe/backend lint` passes
- [x] Created fresh preview projects; overview shows non-zero Total
Users / Monthly Active Users
- [x] `analytics_internal.users` / `teams` / `contact_channels`
populated for the seeded project
- [x] Globe shows 8 live users across 8 distinct countries (verified via
the metrics 2-minute query)
- [x] No future-dated `$token-refresh` events in
`analytics_internal.events`
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Refactor**
* Faster preview project creation by pre-warming the analytics database
and reusing the warmed connection.
* Reduced initialization delays and redundant checks when seeding
brand-new projects; creation paths now skip needless probes.
* More efficient, parallelized seeding of teams/users/events with
deterministic handling of token-refresh and session-replay data.
* Safer timestamp generation to avoid future-dated events and deferred
background processing for long-running tasks like payments.

### Context
There was a small bug via dashboard checkout flow where it would fail on
trying to create a checkout flow for a free product subscription because
no client secret is generated for a 0 dollar subscription.
### Summary of Changes
The flow should be fine now. There's special carve out logic for it.
That being said, users attempting to mimic a free plan grant are
encouraged to follow the `ensureFreePlan` pattern.
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Free subscription selections now bypass Stripe payment processing,
streamlining checkout for zero-cost offerings.
* Purchase return flow now properly recognizes and activates free
subscriptions without requiring payment confirmation.
