Summary
Replaces Auth.js server-side OIDC with keycloak-js client-side PKCE authentication. Converts all data loading from +page.server.ts to client-side fetch() with Bearer tokens via a new api-client.ts module. This is the prerequisite for switching to adapter-static in #53.

PR #55 Review
DOMAIN REVIEW
Tech stack: SvelteKit 5 (Svelte 5 runes), TypeScript, keycloak-js, CSS custom properties, Playwright E2E.
Architecture assessment: The migration from Auth.js server-side OIDC to keycloak-js client-side PKCE is well-structured. Two new core modules (
src/lib/keycloak.tsandsrc/lib/api-client.ts) centralize auth and data fetching respectively. All 17 page components consistently useonMount+isAuthenticated()+{ authenticated }options bag pattern. All+page.server.tsfiles, the API proxy layer, Auth.js config, and server hooks have been correctly removed. Zero$env/dynamic/privateimports remain. TheslugCache.tsmigration to client-side with TTL + dedup is clean.Keycloak init -- missing
onLoad: 'check-sso':src/lib/keycloak.tsline 20-21 has a comment "Uses check-sso so the landing page loads without forcing login" but the actualkeycloak.init()call (lines 26-28) does NOT passonLoad: 'check-sso'. Without this, users with an active Keycloak session will NOT be auto-detected as authenticated on page load. They must click "Sign in" every visit. Either addonLoad: 'check-sso'or correct the misleading comment if this is intentional behavior.XSS protection: Search headline rendering uses
{@html renderHeadline()}which correctly sanitizes via DOMPurify (src/lib/sanitize.ts). Good.Accessibility: FAB has
aria-label="Create new note"andtitle. Modal hasrole="dialog",aria-modal="true",aria-label. Progress bars haverole="progressbar"witharia-valuenow/aria-valuemin/aria-valuemax. Lock icons userole="img"witharia-label="Private note". Keyboard shortcuts documented. Focus trap in QuickJot modal. Solid.CSS: Consistent use of CSS custom properties / design tokens. No magic numbers. Mobile breakpoints at 600px. No Tailwind (per convention). Some utility classes remain (
flex,items-center,text-2xl, etc.) -- these appear to be defined inapp.cssas custom utilities, not Tailwind.BLOCKERS
1. E2E tests are broken -- testing the OLD architecture (BLOCKER: new functionality with stale test coverage)
e2e/auth.spec.tscontains tests that will 100% fail against the new code:page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Sign in' })-- "Sign in" is now a<button>, not a<a>link. Should usegetByRole('button', ...).page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Sign out' })-- same issue, "Sign out" is now a<button>./notes/{slug}/editredirects to/signin-- the/signinroute no longer exists. The edit page now callskeycloak.login()which is a client-side redirect to Keycloak, not a server/signinroute./api/notes,/api/boards/...expecting 401 responses -- ALL/api/*proxy routes have been removed. These requests will return 404 (or the SvelteKit fallback), not 401.e2e/home.spec.ts:'FAB button is visible'-- The FAB is now only shown whenauthenticated === true. Unauthenticated E2E tests will fail this assertion.These are not nits. The E2E suite is the primary validation artifact for this auth migration, and at least 8 tests are guaranteed to fail against the new code.
2. DRY violation in auth path (BLOCKER: duplicated auth logic)
src/lib/api-client.ts--deleteBoardItem()(lines 297-321) manually constructs the URL, headers, auth token injection, and error handling instead of reusingapiFetch(). The auth header construction logic (getToken()+Authorization: Bearer) is now in TWO places:apiFetch()(line 150-156)deleteBoardItem()(line 305-311)This is a DRY violation in the auth/security path. If the auth header logic changes (e.g., token format, error handling on refresh failure), only one path might get updated. The fix is simple:
apiFetchcan handle DELETE -- just have it returnvoidor ignore the response body for 204s.NITS
Misleading comment in keycloak.ts: Line 20-21 says "Uses check-sso" but no
onLoad: 'check-sso'is passed. Either add it or fix the comment.Dead interface:
NoteLink(api-client.ts line 106-111) is defined but never imported or used anywhere in the codebase.Stale
.env.example: Still referencesPAL_E_DOCS_API_URLandPAL_E_DOCS_API_KEY(server-side env vars). Should be updated toVITE_PAL_E_DOCS_API_URL,VITE_KEYCLOAK_URL,VITE_KEYCLOAK_REALM,VITE_KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID.Hardcoded fallback URLs in keycloak.ts: Lines 11-13 hardcode
https://keycloak.tail5b443a.ts.netand realmpal-eas fallbacks. These are fine as defaults for the current deployment but worth noting for portability.deleteBoardItemsilent auth failure: Lines 308-311 catch and swallow auth errors ("proceed without token"). This means a DELETE of a board item could silently send an unauthenticated request and get a 401 from the API, which then throws a generic error. The user would see "API request failed: 401" instead of a more helpful "Not authenticated" message.Duplicate COLUMNS definition:
COLUMNSis defined in bothsrc/lib/columns.ts(lines 8-16) andsrc/lib/api-client.ts(lines 27-35). Single source of truth should becolumns.ts;api-client.tsshould import from there.nav-login-linkandnav-logout-btnCSS duplication: In+layout.svelte, lines 172-199 define nearly identical styles for.nav-logout-btnand.nav-login-link. Could be a single.nav-action-btnclass.SOP COMPLIANCE

deleteBoardItemDRY issue should be straightforward and unblock the chain quickly..env.examplestill documents the old server-side env vars. Anyone setting up a dev environment from this file will be confused.VERDICT: NOT APPROVED
Two blockers must be resolved:
deleteBoardItemmust useapiFetch()to eliminate the duplicated auth logic.PR #55 Re-Review
Re-review after two blockers were reported in initial review. Verifying fixes and checking for any new issues.
Previous Blocker Status
BLOCKER 1 -- deleteBoardItem() DRY violation: RESOLVED
deleteBoardItem()now correctly delegates toapiFetch()with{ method: 'DELETE' }instead of using rawfetch(). All exported functions insrc/lib/api-client.tsroute through the singleapiFetch()helper, which handles Bearer token auth, error responses, and 204 No Content. No DRY violations remain in the auth path.BLOCKER 2 -- Stale E2E tests for keycloak-js architecture: PARTIALLY RESOLVED
home.spec.tsandauth.spec.tswere updated to reflect the keycloak-js architecture:home.spec.ts: UseswaitForSelector('.greeting')instead of baregoto(), FAB test changed from "is visible" to "is NOT visible when unauthenticated" -- correct.auth.spec.ts: Sign in/out changed from links to buttons, API proxy 401 tests removed (routes deleted), board unauthenticated tests usewaitForSelector('[data-column]')-- correct.However, two test files were NOT updated and will fail against the new architecture:

But:/signinroute directory was deleted in this PRsrc/routes/notes/[slug]/edit/+page.svelte) callslogin()from keycloak.ts when unauthenticated, which redirects to the external Keycloak domain -- NOT/signinThese tests will fail because the URL after redirect will contain
keycloak.tail5b443a.ts.net/realms/pal-e, not/signin.Note:
auth.spec.tsalready has a replacement test for this scenario (/notes/{slug}/edit redirects to Keycloak when unauthenticated) but its assertion is a tautology (see nit below). Thenote-edit.spec.tsfile should either be updated to match the keycloak redirect behavior or removed sinceauth.spec.tscovers it.2.

Should beexpect(isKeycloakRedirect || !isStillOnEdit).toBeTruthy()to actually verify the redirect occurred.apiFetch()header merge order: The patternfetch(url, { headers, ...init })means if any caller ever passesheadersin theinitparameter, the auth Bearer token would be silently overwritten. Safer pattern:fetch(url, { ...init, headers: { ...Object.fromEntries(new Headers(init?.headers).entries()), ...headers } }). No current callers are affected, but this is a latent footgun.quick-jot.spec.tsrequires auth but runs unauthenticated: This test expects the FAB button to be visible (authenticated-only UI). It will fail in CI without a Keycloak session. This is pre-existing from main, not introduced by this PR -- tracking as discovered scope.Mixed wait strategies across E2E tests: Some tests use
waitForSelector()(correct for client-side loading), others still usewaitUntil: 'networkidle'(dashboard.spec.ts,board-filtering.spec.ts,board-dragdrop.spec.ts,search.spec.ts,public-readiness.spec.ts). With client-side data fetching,networkidlemay resolve beforeonMount()API calls complete.

DOMAIN REVIEW
Stack: SvelteKit (Svelte 5) + TypeScript + keycloak-js + Playwright E2E
This PR migrates from Auth.js server-side OIDC to keycloak-js client-side PKCE. The architectural change is sound:
src/lib/keycloak.tsprovides a clean wrapper with PKCE S256, auto-refresh on token expiry, andcheck-sso-style init (no forced login).src/lib/api-client.tsattaches Bearer tokens only whenauthenticated: trueis passed, and the layout component gates UI on anauthReadyflag. The/signinroute has been correctly removed -- login is now handled bykeycloak.login()redirect.The core application code (keycloak.ts, api-client.ts, +layout.svelte, board page, edit page) looks correct and well-structured. The deleteBoardItem DRY violation from round 1 is properly resolved.
BLOCKERS
B1 -- Tautological assertion in
e2e/auth.spec.ts(round 2 blocker, STILL PRESENT)The test "redirects to Keycloak when unauthenticated" contains:
!isStillOnEdit || isStillOnEditis always true regardless of value. The entire expression is a tautology -- this test can never fail. This was flagged in round 2 and remains unfixed.Fix: Assert something meaningful. For example, assert that the URL no longer contains
/editOR that it contains the Keycloak domain:B2 --

toHaveURL(/\/signin/)and look forgetByRole('link', { name: 'Sign in' }). The/signinroute no longer exists. These tests will fail at runtime.Fix: Update to expect Keycloak redirect (consistent with the pattern in auth.spec.ts), or remove if redundant with auth.spec.ts coverage.

Create new note), which only renders whenauthenticated=trueper the layout component:E2E tests run against the live app without a Keycloak session (confirmed by Playwright config -- no auth setup, no storageState). Every test in this file will fail at the first assertion.
Fix: Either skip these tests with a
test.skipannotation noting they require auth, or add a Playwright auth setup (storageState/globalSetup) that establishes a Keycloak session before running authenticated test suites.NITS

54-migrate-auth-data-fetching-to-client-sidreferences issue #54 (child of #52)## Relatedsection linking to a plan slugPROCESS OBSERVATIONS
This is QA round 3. Blockers B1-B3 were all identified in rounds 1-2 and remain unresolved. The fix commits addressed the deleteBoardItem DRY issue (confirmed fixed) but the E2E test issues persist. B4 (quick-jot auth requirement) is newly identified -- the tests existed before this PR but the auth architecture change means they can no longer pass without explicit auth setup.
The pattern of unfixed E2E tests across 3 rounds suggests the tests may not be running as part of the fix verification. Recommend: run
npx playwright testlocally before pushing fix commits to confirm green.VERDICT: NOT APPROVED
Four blockers remain: one tautological assertion (B1), two files with stale /signin references (B2, B3), and one test file that requires auth the test harness does not provide (B4). All are test correctness issues -- the application code itself is solid.

Architecture migration: Server-side Auth.js + API proxy replaced with client-side keycloak-js + direct browser fetch. All
+page.server.ts,+layout.server.ts,/api/*, and/signinroutes have been removed. Every page usesonMount+isAuthenticated()from$lib/keycloakfor client-side data fetching. The pattern is consistent across all 12 route pages.Keycloak wrapper (

src/lib/api-client.ts): Bearer token attached only whenauthenticated: true. Unauthenticated requests proceed without auth header, seeing only public content. DOMPurify sanitization in place for rendered HTML (src/lib/sanitize.ts).encodeURIComponentused on all slug path parameters -- no path traversal risk.Client-side slug cache (
