Type

Feature

Lineage

Follow-up from spike #16 (docs/auth.md — Local Development section). Ships alongside #32 (users + OmniAuth).

Repo

ldraney/palinks

User Story

As a developer
I want to skip Keycloak in local dev
So that I can work without running a Keycloak instance

Context

Local docker-compose dev doesn't have Keycloak. A conditional middleware or initializer check should auto-set a superadmin session in development mode so the full app works locally without auth infrastructure.

File Targets

  • config/initializers/omniauth.rb — skip OmniAuth setup in development
  • app/controllers/application_controller.rb — mock current_user in development
  • Or: config/initializers/dev_auth.rb — dedicated dev auth bypass

Feature Flag

None — development-only behavior, not deployed to production.

Acceptance Criteria

  • In development, app auto-authenticates as superadmin
  • No Keycloak env vars required locally
  • Login/logout buttons still render (for UI testing)
  • Bypass is ONLY active in development (not test, not production)
  • current_user returns a mock or real User record

Test Expectations

  • Unit test: bypass is not active in test environment
  • Run: bundle exec rails test

Constraints

  • Must not affect production or test environments
  • Check Rails.env.development? only

Checklist

  • PR opened
  • Tests pass
  • No unrelated changes
