Owner decision: static only, and no per-site provider registration --
which every OAuth path requires (and GitHub/Facebook additionally require
a server). Both on-ramp implementations (service handshake, serverless
Google Drive) are removed the day they shipped; centralized-onramps.md
stays on the record as the analysis of why, superseded by
passkey-login.md.
The passkey rail: a WebAuthn PRF-capable passkey (synced for most users
by Google Password Manager or iCloud Keychain) deterministically derives
the login name and password of a standard capsule account -- passkey.ts
holds the derivation behind a FROZEN v1 known-answer contract with the
same standing rule as knownAnswer.test.ts. The ordinary password flows
do everything else; nothing is stored outside the user's authenticator,
and the rail needs no network of its own.
Flow is idempotent by construction: sign-in against a passkey with no
account routes into setup with the derived credential
(AccountNotFoundError); setup against an existing account signs in
(AccountAlreadyExistsError). Fresh identity or §SF10 nsec import at
setup; Tier B2 phrase card retained ('your account stays yours even if
you lose your passkey'); rotation is the graduation step and says so.
Pins updated: passkey row with honest custody label inside the menu,
OAuth actions provably absent, element still network-free. 11 passkey
tests incl. the frozen vectors; menu and screens verified in Chrome.

Proposes 'Sign in with Google/GitHub/…' as a clearly labeled fourth
method family behind the same login surface. Two architectures: an
OAuth-gated NIP-46 bunker (works today, full custody, the proof point)
and the recommended one -- OAuth as the password manager for a REAL
capsule account, where the service holds only the unlock secret, the
identity lives on relays, and service compromise maps to the password-
compromise analysis the spec already has (§14).
Phrase handling is a labeled custody dial (shown at signup / first-
session-only with a 'secure your account' card / escrowed). Graduation
keeps the same npub at every step: save the npub, claim the phrase,
hold your own password, full export -- with §SF10 import as the
already-implemented escape from any custodial tier. Honesty contract:
every centralized option answers who can access the account, what
happens if they vanish, and how to leave. Conforming services must
export and delete on demand and publish their tier machine-readably.
Owner framing on the record: meet users at whatever sign-in they trust,
nudge toward decentralization over time -- 'it's a journey for all of us.'

Proposes aggregating sign-in methods behind the existing provider facade
instead of being one option in a host's login menu. NIP-07 delegates to an
installed extension; NIP-46 connects to a remote signer, memory-only until
the vault review gate clears. Rejects nsec paste as a login method on the
record — §SF10 import is the sanctioned path for raw keys. Non-BitLogin
sessions are signer-only: no capsule, no vault, no portable state.

The audit's most important finding was not a doc issue at all. In
vaultSetBinding the identifier `origin` resolved to the WORKER GLOBAL
self.origin rather than the intended value, so the dashboard's "Revoke
app access" REBOUND the record to the calling page instead of clearing
it -- the precise cross-origin adoption the binding guard exists to
prevent, wearing the label of the button meant to prevent it. It
typechecked because the DOM lib declares that global. I introduced this
hours ago: a string replace intended for one call site silently matched
two. Fixed, with the reasoning written where the next reader will hit it.
Relay/account audit fixes:
- Phrase recovery permanently tripped the rollback alarm. The mark is
keyed by the everyday pubkey (unchanged by recovery) while recovery
legitimately restarts at generation 0, and raiseHighWaterMark keeps
the maximum -- so anyone who had ever rotated a password met "possibly
revoked credentials" on EVERY later login, forever, with no way to
clear it. The phrase is the master authority; it now resets the mark.
- quorumMet counted TCP connections, not answers: a query timeout
RESOLVED, so a connectable-but-silent relay counted as responding and
every "not enough relays answered" guard was near-vacuous. Only EOSE
is an answer now.
- Relay responses were never checked against the address requested, so
one junk event from one relay blocked registration, rotation, and
recovery for every login name and password a user tried. Events must
now match author, kind, and d-tag.
Website honesty (the surface a stranger reads first, and the one that
had drifted furthest from the spec):
- docs.html and llms.txt still carried "private keys never leave the
worker" -- false on its face, since the widget ships a reveal-nsec
button. Both now state the same limit the README does.
- "you revoke" became honest everywhere: removing a connection deletes
the stored copy; spending authority is revoked at the wallet.
- index.html dropped a pre-softening recovery claim, now says an account
lives only while relays retain its capsule, and says "independently
unaudited" out loud.
- llms.txt gains the two warnings that were missing entirely: losing
BOTH password and phrase is permanent, and removal is not revocation.
- Stale headers: nwc-connections.md no longer claims "Not implemented",
docs/README no longer says the authorization layer is unbuilt, the
test count and spec version are current, and the demo domain points
at bitlogin.network.

connection-vault.md 5-13 as code, with the implementation-time decisions
recorded in a new section 18 and vault-ux.md holding the agreed UX
walkthroughs as the authorization layer's acceptance criteria.
Capsules gain paired optional fields connection_vault_root and
vault_sudo_key (both or neither, validated); registration mints them,
login/change-password/recovery carry them forward, and
enableConnectionVault is the phrase-gated migration for existing
accounts -- recovery capsule written first, fail closed, idempotent by
reusing roots found in either capsule so a partial failure can never
mint twice and strand records.
src/vault/ holds the finalized key hierarchy (HKDF/ScalarExpand
constants pinned by test vectors that must only ever be reverted, never
updated), per-connection encrypted records signed by a derived vault
identity with the capsule JCS+padding+AES-GCM pipeline and shared
buckets so record types are indistinguishable by size, the NWC profile
with lossless URI parse/export, relay sync reusing the publish-and-
verify quorum bar, and per-record high-water marks so a stale replica
is withheld and reported rather than silently resurrecting a revoked
credential.
The two-tier model makes sudo mode cryptographically real: personal-
tier record keys require vault_sudo_key as HKDF input, VaultSession
holds it only inside an enableSudo/endSudo window (wiping on the way in
and out), and outside a window personal records are invisible -- the
same trial-decrypt returns null, not an error. The app-facing API is
structurally blind to the tier by construction.
118 tests passing, including four end-to-end scenarios against mock
relays: clean-device restore, password-change carry, legacy-account
migration (wrong phrase refused), and rollback detection.
