## Summary
Adds a one-time informational modal that announces the **Stack Auth →
Hexclave** rebrand to existing logged-in dashboard users. Brand-new
users signing up after the cutoff already land on a fully
Hexclave-branded experience and don't see the modal — they have no
"Stack Auth" mental model to update.
Stacked on top of **PR #1481** (the visible-rebrand flip).

## What's in here
- **Component**:
[`apps/dashboard/src/components/hexclave-rebrand-modal.tsx`](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/blob/cl/hexclave-rebrand-modal/apps/dashboard/src/components/hexclave-rebrand-modal.tsx)
— the modal itself plus the static `RebrandIllustration` (Stack Auth
mark → arrow → Hexclave benzene mark).
- **Mount**:
[`apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/layout-client.tsx`](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/blob/cl/hexclave-rebrand-modal/apps/dashboard/src/app/(main)/(protected)/layout-client.tsx)
— single `<HexclaveRebrandModal />` inside `ConfigUpdateDialogProvider`
so it covers every authenticated dashboard route.
- **Asset**: `apps/dashboard/public/hexclave-icon.svg` — the
benzene-ring mark pulled from `https://hexclave.com/icon.svg` (the
canonical Hexclave brand mark). Stack Auth side uses the existing
`/logo.svg` + `/logo-bright.svg` (dark mode variant).
## Targeting
Three independent conditions must all hold for the modal to render:
1. **Logged-in user** — `useUser({ or: "return-null" })` opts out of the
sign-in redirect so guests are silently skipped.
2. **`user.signedUpAt < REBRAND_CUTOFF`** where `REBRAND_CUTOFF =
2026-05-27T00:00:00Z`. This is the cleanest "pre-rebrand user" signal —
more accurate than cookie inspection (the existing `stack-is-https` hint
cookie gets dual-written for new and returning users alike since
[`packages/template/src/lib/cookie.ts:201`](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/blob/cl/hexclave-rebrand-modal/packages/template/src/lib/cookie.ts#L201),
so it can't distinguish), and it follows the same user across
browsers/devices.
3. **No `hexclave-rebrand-modal-dismissed=true` in localStorage**. Any
dismissal path (Got it button, X, overlay click, Escape) routes through
`onOpenChange` and writes this flag, so the modal never re-opens for
that browser.
## Behavior verification
End-to-end checked against a live dev dashboard:
- ✅ Modal opens once on first authenticated dashboard view for a
pre-cutoff user.
- ✅ `localStorage["hexclave-rebrand-modal-dismissed"]` flips to `"true"`
on any dismissal path.
- ✅ Reload after dismissal: zero `[role=dialog]` elements rendered,
localStorage flag persists.
- ✅ Not rendered for guests (no useUser → early `return null`, no
auth-redirect).
- ✅ Not rendered for users with `signedUpAt >= REBRAND_CUTOFF`.
- ✅ SSR-safe: hooks into `useEffect` to read storage post-hydration;
`try/catch` around storage access so private-mode / sandboxed iframes
degrade silently.
- ✅ `pnpm --filter @stackframe/dashboard lint` clean.
## Notes
- **`pnpm typecheck`** was not run as part of this change because the
dashboard typecheck depends on `codegen-prisma` against a live DB
(pre-existing infra debt noted in PR #1481). Lint covers the type-shape
of the touched files via the project's strict TS-aware ESLint rules.
- **Migration link** points to
[`docs.hexclave.com/migration`](https://docs.hexclave.com/migration),
the same URL referenced from
[`packages/template/src/internal/deprecation-warning.ts:36`](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/blob/cl/hexclave-rebrand-modal/packages/template/src/internal/deprecation-warning.ts#L36)
— single source of truth for the migration story.
- **No animation** by design — the modal is static; entry/exit uses the
existing Radix Dialog fade.

## Summary by cubic
Adds a one-time modal in the dashboard to announce the Stack Auth →
Hexclave rebrand for pre-rebrand users. It shows once per account per
browser, inlines the import-rename step, links the migration guide, and
doesn’t show for new signups or in dev/preview environments.
- **New Features**
- Shows only for logged-in users with `signedUpAt <
'2026-05-27T00:00:00Z'`; guests, post-cutoff signups, and local
emulator/remote dev/preview never see it.
- Dismissal persists via
`localStorage["hexclave-rebrand-modal-dismissed:<user.id>"]="true"`; all
close paths set the flag.
- Mounted in the protected dashboard layout so it covers all
authenticated routes once per account per browser.
- Includes illustration (`/logo.svg` → arrow → `/hexclave-icon.svg`) and
links to app.hexclave.com and the migration guide; copy tells users to
rename `@stackframe/*` to `@hexclave/*` (`@stackframe/stack` →
`@hexclave/next`).

<!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->
Three favicon.ico files and the dashboard's open-graph-image.png are
regenerated from the canonical Hexclave benzene-mark SVG committed in
the previous logo-swap commit (apps/dashboard/public/logo.svg).
Favicons (all three: dashboard, dev-launchpad, docs-mintlify) bundle
16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 PNG-encoded variants — 32bpp RGBA for crisp
rendering on retina + dark-mode tab strips. dev-launchpad's old icon
was a 4bpp 16x16 single-frame; it now matches the other two.
OG image is 1200x630 with a centered 360px gradient benzene mark on a
dark canvas with a subtle radial glow. No wordmark — Jersey 10 isn't
available at rasterize time and the mark alone reads cleanly on the
standard OG card preview area in Slack / Twitter / LinkedIn.
The dashboard layout's openGraph.images metadata points at
${apiUrl}/open-graph-image.png — the backend deploy needs to serve
this file from the same path so social previews actually resolve.
Tracked separately as ops work.
PR 1481 carved out binary visual assets pending design work, but we now
have the Hexclave brand mark from PR 1493 (the neon-gradient benzene
ring) and a full wordmark variant. Swap them in everywhere the dashboard,
docs site, and example demo rendered the Stack Auth logo.
Icon-only variant (PR 1493's hexclave-icon.svg, neon-gradient benzene
mark) replaces:
- apps/dashboard/public/logo.svg + logo-bright.svg
- examples/demo/public/logo.svg + logo-bright.svg
Full wordmark variant (benzene mark + 'Hexclave' text in Jersey 10)
replaces:
- apps/dashboard/public/logo-full.svg (black text — light mode)
- apps/dashboard/public/logo-full-bright.svg (white text — dark mode)
- docs-mintlify/images/logo-light.svg (black text)
- docs-mintlify/images/logo-dark.svg (white text)
The benzene mark uses a colored gradient that reads on both light and
dark backgrounds, so logo.svg and logo-bright.svg now share identical
content — the dark-mode SmartImage swap in logo.tsx is effectively a
no-op but the file pair is preserved to avoid touching the component
API. Same applies to examples/demo.
Also drop the 'dark:invert' className on examples/demo's <Image> — the
new gradient mark should not be color-inverted on dark backgrounds (it
already reads correctly on both).
The MDX content was flipped to Hexclave in PR 1481, but the URL slug
itself (/guides/other/tutorials/build-a-saas-with-stack-auth) was still
public-facing. Rename the file and update the five internal links:
- docs.json navigation reference
- 3 in-MDX cross-links in build-a-team-based-app.mdx
- 2 in-MDX cross-links in ship-production-ready-auth.mdx
PR 1481's sweep missed four user-visible spots in the examples/ tree:
- examples/demo: page title 'Stack Demo' + description 'using Stack...'
- examples/docs-examples: page title 'Stack Demo' + description 'using Stack...'
- examples/tanstack-start-demo: 'Stack TanStack Demo' link text in header
- examples/middleware: description 'A demo of Stack\'s middleware capabilities.'
(title was already flipped; only the description was missed)
Result.or returns T | U synchronously, so awaiting it tripped
@typescript-eslint/await-thenable and @typescript-eslint/return-await
in the generated packages/stack and packages/react SDKs.
The legacy docs/ folder still referenced noreply@stackframe.co for the
shared email provider — flip to match the new sender domain set up
on Resend as the dedicated transactional-sender domain. Aligns with
the dashboard + docs-mintlify references that were already flipped.
The bare-name sweep was mutating the sentinel string
('js @stackframe/js@2.8.105') into 'js @hexclave/js@2.8.105' before
the sentinel-specific regex (built from oldName) had a chance to
match, silently leaving the version stuck at the old @stackframe
version on published @hexclave/* artifacts. Reorder so the sentinel
rewrite runs first; the name sweep that follows can't touch the
rewritten sentinel because it no longer contains any @stackframe/*
substrings.
Both failures are pre-existing on `dev` (confirmed by checking the most
recent dev run
[26434368271](https://github.com/hexclave/stack-auth/actions/runs/26434368271)
— same two annotations, same line numbers). Neither is caused by an open
PR.
## Failure 1 — \`apps/backend/src/lib/redirect-urls.test.tsx:75\`
\`\`\`
AssertionError: expected false to be true
\`\`\`
The \`withHostedHandlerEnv\` helper set/cleared only the
\`STACK_*\`-prefixed env vars. CI's
[e2e-custom-base-port-api-tests.yaml:21](.github/workflows/e2e-custom-base-port-api-tests.yaml#L21)
sets only the \`HEXCLAVE_*\`-prefixed sibling
(\`NEXT_PUBLIC_HEXCLAVE_PORT_PREFIX=67\`), and the dual-read shim in
[packages/stack-shared/src/utils/env.tsx#L53-L55](packages/stack-shared/src/utils/env.tsx#L53-L55)
prefers \`HEXCLAVE_*\` over \`STACK_*\`:
\`\`\`ts
const hexclaveName = getHexclaveEnvVarName(name);
let value = (hexclaveName ? process.env[hexclaveName] : undefined) ??
process.env[name];
\`\`\`
So \`getEnvVariable(\"NEXT_PUBLIC_STACK_PORT_PREFIX\", \"81\")\`
returned \`\"67\"\` instead of the test's \`\"92\"\`, the template
resolved to port \`6709\` instead of \`9209\`, and the assertion at line
75 failed.
**Fix:** mirror every \`STACK_*\` key managed by the helper to its
\`HEXCLAVE_*\` sibling. The dual-read then resolves to the
test-controlled value regardless of which key it checks first.
## Failure 2 —
\`apps/backend/prisma/migrations/20260526060000_nullable_oauth_access_token_expires_at/tests/nullable-expires-at.ts:58\`
\`\`\`
PostgresError: null value in column \"updatedAt\" of relation
\"OAuthAccessToken\" violates not-null constraint
\`\`\`
The migration test's raw INSERT omits \`\"updatedAt\"\`. The Prisma
model declares \`updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt\` with no
\`@default(now())\`, so the DB column is \`NOT NULL\` with no default —
Prisma populates it at the ORM layer on insert, but this test bypasses
Prisma via \`postgres.js\`.
**Fix:** add the \`\"updatedAt\"\` column to the INSERT, set to
\`NOW()\`, with a comment noting why raw SQL must set it explicitly.
## Verification
- **Failure 1, before fix:** ran \`NEXT_PUBLIC_HEXCLAVE_PORT_PREFIX=67
pnpm test run apps/backend/src/lib/redirect-urls.test.tsx\` locally →
reproduces the exact line-75 assertion failure from CI.
- **Failure 1, after fix:** same command → 33/33 pass.
- **Failure 2:** local reproduction requires the migration-test postgres
harness; the fix is one column matching how every other raw SQL insert
in this repo handles \`@updatedAt\` fields. CI on this branch will
confirm.

## Summary by cubic
Fixes two failing tests on dev CI by aligning env var handling in
redirect URL tests and by setting the missing updatedAt in a migration
test. Restores green CI with no runtime changes.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Redirect URL tests: `withHostedHandlerEnv` now mirrors `STACK_*`
values to their `HEXCLAVE_*` siblings and restores both, so
`getEnvVariable` reads the test-controlled values even when CI sets only
`HEXCLAVE_*` (e.g. `NEXT_PUBLIC_HEXCLAVE_PORT_PREFIX`).
- Migration test: the raw insert into `OAuthAccessToken` now sets
`"updatedAt" = NOW()` since `Prisma`’s `@updatedAt` isn’t applied when
using `postgres.js` and the column is NOT NULL.

<!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->
Companion to ff44d4ec3 — that commit shortened the disclaimer from
'...error in Hexclave (formerly Stack Auth).' to '...error in Hexclave.'
and updated the url-targets test snapshots, but missed the matching
inline snapshot in apps/backend/src/lib/redirect-urls.test.tsx. The test
suite passes after the update (33/33).
Filter `pnpm publish -r` to only the rewritten @hexclave/* packages in
the mirror step, removing the reliance on pnpm's skip-existing-versions
behavior for the unchanged @stackframe/* packages still in the workspace
at that point.
Addresses greptile P1 finding on PR #1481.
## 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.

The HexclaveAssertionError disclaimer was simplified from
"...error in Hexclave (formerly Stack Auth)." to "...error in Hexclave."
but the inline snapshots in url-targets and redirect-urls tests still
expected the longer text. Updates the template source-of-truth; SDK
mirrors regenerate via the preinstall generate-sdks hook.
Rebased onto dev after PR 1475 (cl/hexclave-pr1) was squash-merged.
Squashes the original 46-commit branch (including PR1-duplicate commits
that arrived via cherry-picks/merges) into a single commit containing
only PR2's net delta over dev.

## 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)
