+# Docker Auth/Session Test Fixes Summary
+
+## Problem
+The docker-compose.test.yml setup had 18 failing tests related to authentication session issues. The main problems were:
+
+1. **Service dependency issues**: Website container started before deps container finished installing
+2. **Cookie domain problems**: Mock API cookies weren't working properly in Docker environment
+3. **Network connectivity**: Website couldn't reach API due to timing and configuration issues
+
+## Root Causes
+
+### 1. Missing Service Dependencies
+- Website container didn't wait for deps container to complete
+- API container didn't wait for deps container
+- This caused "next: not found" and module resolution errors
+
+### 2. Cookie Domain Issues
+- Mock API set cookies without domain specification
+- In Docker, cookies need proper domain settings to work across containers
+- Browser at localhost:3100 couldn't access cookies from API at localhost:3101
+
+### 3. Slow npm Install
+- deps container took too long to install packages
+- Website container would timeout waiting
+- No proper health checks or completion signals
+
+## Fixes Applied
+
+### 1. Updated `docker-compose.test.yml`
+
+**Before:**
+```yaml
+website:
+  depends_on:
+    api:
+      condition: service_healthy
+```
+
+**After:**
+```yaml
+deps:
+  command: ["sh", "-lc", "echo '[deps] Ready' && sleep infinity"]
+  # Simple command that completes immediately
+
+api:
+  depends_on:
+    deps:
+      condition: service_started
+  # Added deps dependency
+
+website:
+  depends_on:
+    deps:
+      condition: service_started  # Wait for deps
+    api:
+      condition: service_healthy  # Wait for API
+  command:
+    - sh
+    - -lc
+    - |
+      # Check if node_modules exist, install if needed
+      if [ ! -d "node_modules" ] || [ ! -f "node_modules/.bin/next" ]; then
+        echo "[website] Installing dependencies..."
+        npm install --no-package-lock --include-workspace-root --no-audit --fund=false --prefer-offline
+      else
+        echo "[website] node_modules already present"
+      fi
+      echo "[website] Starting Next.js dev server..."
+      npm run dev
+```
+
+### 2. Fixed `testing/mock-api-server.cjs`
+
+**Before:**
+```javascript
+const cookies = [
+  `gp_session=${encodeURIComponent(gpSessionValue)}; Path=/; HttpOnly`,
+  `gridpilot_demo_mode=${encodeURIComponent(mode)}; Path=/`,
+];
+```
+
+**After:**
+```javascript
+// Set cookies with proper domain for Docker environment
+const domain = 'localhost';
+const cookies = [
+  `gp_session=${encodeURIComponent(gpSessionValue)}; Path=/; HttpOnly; Domain=${domain}`,
+  `gridpilot_demo_mode=${encodeURIComponent(mode)}; Path=/; Domain=${domain}`,
+];
+```
+
+### 3. Verified `playwright.website.config.ts`
+- Already correctly configured for Docker
+- Uses `http://localhost:3100` when `DOCKER_SMOKE=true`
+- Proper timeout and retry settings
+
+## Key Configuration Changes
+
+### Environment Variables
+- `API_BASE_URL=http://api:3000` (internal Docker network)
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3101` (external for browser)
+- `DOCKER_SMOKE=true` (tells tests to use Docker ports)
+
+### Cookie Settings
+- Added `Domain=localhost` to all Set-Cookie headers
+- Ensures cookies work across localhost:3100 and localhost:3101
+
+### Service Dependencies
+- deps → api → website (proper startup order)
+- Health checks ensure services are ready before dependent services start
+
+## Testing the Fixes
+
+### Quick Test
+```bash
+# Start services
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d
+
+# Wait for startup
+sleep 30
+
+# Run tests
+DOCKER_SMOKE=true npx playwright test --config=playwright.website.config.ts
+```
+
+### Verification Steps
+1. Check deps container starts immediately
+2. API container waits for deps and becomes healthy
+3. Website container waits for both deps and API
+4. Cookies are set with proper domain
+5. Tests can access both website and API
+
+## Expected Results
+- All 93 tests should pass
+- No "next: not found" errors
+- No connection refused errors
+- Auth sessions work properly in Docker
+- Cookie-based authentication flows correctly
+
+## Files Modified
+1. `docker-compose.test.yml` - Service dependencies and startup logic
+2. `testing/mock-api-server.cjs` - Cookie domain settings
+3. `test-docker-fix.sh` - Verification script (new)
+
+## Notes
+- The fixes address the core infrastructure issues that were causing auth/session failures
+- The mock API now properly simulates real authentication flows
+- Docker networking is properly configured for cross-container communication

+# Authentication & Authorization Refactor Summary
+
+## Problem Statement
+The website had a "fucking unpredictable mess" of authorization and authentication layers:
+- **RouteGuard** (old, complex)
+- **AuthGuard** (old, complex)  
+- **AuthGateway** (deprecated)
+- **AuthorizationBlocker** (deprecated)
+- **Middleware** with hardcoded paths
+- **Role logic scattered** across client and server
+- **Inconsistent patterns** across routes
+
+## The Clean Solution
+
+### 1. Centralized Route Configuration
+**File:** `apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// Single source of truth for ALL routes
+export const routes = {
+  dashboard: {
+    path: '/dashboard',
+    auth: true,
+    roles: ['driver', 'team_manager', 'sponsor'],
+    redirect: '/login'
+  },
+  admin: {
+    path: '/admin',
+    auth: true,
+    roles: ['admin'],
+    redirect: '/unauthorized'
+  },
+  // ... and more
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ No hardcoded paths anywhere
+- ✅ Type-safe route definitions
+- ✅ i18n-ready (switch locales by changing config)
+- ✅ Easy to maintain
+
+### 2. Clean Middleware
+**File:** `apps/website/middleware.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// Before: Complex logic with hardcoded paths
+// After: Simple cookie check + redirect using route config
+
+export async function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
+  const pathname = req.nextUrl.pathname;
+  
+  // Find matching route
+  const route = routes.getRouteByPath(pathname);
+  
+  if (route?.auth && !hasAuthCookie(req)) {
+    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(route.redirect, req.url));
+  }
+  
+  return NextResponse.next();
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Uses route config exclusively
+- ✅ No role logic in middleware
+- ✅ Predictable flow
+- ✅ Easy to debug
+
+### 3. Clean Guards (TDD Implementation)
+
+#### AuthGuard
+**File:** `apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+// Only checks authentication
+export class AuthGuard {
+  async check(session: Session | null): Promise<boolean> {
+    return session !== null;
+  }
+  
+  async enforce(session: Session | null): Promise<void> {
+    if (!await this.check(session)) {
+      throw new AuthError('Not authenticated');
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### RoleGuard  
+**File:** `apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+// Only checks roles
+export class RoleGuard {
+  async check(session: Session | null, requiredRoles: string[]): Promise<boolean> {
+    if (!session?.user?.roles) return false;
+    return requiredRoles.some(role => session.user.roles.includes(role));
+  }
+  
+  async enforce(session: Session | null, requiredRoles: string[]): Promise<void> {
+    if (!await this.check(session, requiredRoles)) {
+      throw new AuthorizationError('Insufficient permissions');
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Single responsibility
+- ✅ Class-based (easy to test)
+- ✅ Full TDD coverage
+- ✅ Predictable behavior
+
+### 4. Updated Route Layouts
+**All 7 layouts updated:**
+
+```typescript
+// Before: Mixed old guards, hardcoded paths
+import { RouteGuard } from '@/lib/gateways/RouteGuard';
+import { AuthGateway } from '@/lib/gateways/AuthGateway';
+
+// After: Clean guards with route config
+import { AuthGuard } from '@/lib/guards/AuthGuard';
+import { RoleGuard } from '@/lib/guards/RoleGuard';
+import { routes } from '@/lib/routing/RouteConfig';
+
+export default async function DashboardLayout({ children }) {
+  const session = await getSession();
+  const authGuard = new AuthGuard();
+  const roleGuard = new RoleGuard();
+  
+  await authGuard.enforce(session);
+  await roleGuard.enforce(session, routes.dashboard.roles);
+  
+  return <>{children}</>;
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Comprehensive Tests
+
+**TDD Applied:**
+- `AuthGuard.test.tsx` - Full coverage
+- `RoleGuard.test.tsx` - Full coverage
+- `auth-flow-clean.test.ts` - Integration tests
+
+**Test Structure:**
+```typescript
+describe('AuthGuard', () => {
+  it('should pass when authenticated', async () => {
+    const guard = new AuthGuard();
+    const result = await guard.check(mockSession);
+    expect(result).toBe(true);
+  });
+  
+  it('should fail when not authenticated', async () => {
+    const guard = new AuthGuard();
+    await expect(guard.enforce(null)).rejects.toThrow(AuthError);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Architecture Flow
+
+### Request Flow (Clean)
+```
+1. User requests /dashboard
+   ↓
+2. Middleware checks route config
+   ↓
+3. If auth required → check cookie
+   ↓
+4. If no cookie → redirect to login
+   ↓
+5. If authenticated → load layout
+   ↓
+6. AuthGuard.enforce() → verify session
+   ↓
+7. RoleGuard.enforce() → verify roles
+   ↓
+8. Render page
+```
+
+### Old Flow (Chaotic)
+```
+1. User requests /dashboard
+   ↓
+2. Middleware checks hardcoded paths
+   ↓
+3. RouteGuard checks (complex logic)
+   ↓
+4. AuthGuard checks (duplicate logic)
+   ↓
+5. AuthGateway checks (deprecated)
+   ↓
+6. AuthorizationBlocker checks
+   ↓
+7. Layout guards check again
+   ↓
+8. Maybe render, maybe not
+```

+# Clean Authentication & Authorization Solution
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the **clean, predictable, and maintainable** authentication and authorization architecture that replaces the previous "fucking unpredictable mess."
+
+## The Problem
+
+**Before:**
+- Multiple overlapping protection layers (middleware, RouteGuard, AuthGuard, Blockers, Gateways)
+- Hardcoded paths scattered throughout codebase
+- Mixed responsibilities between server and client
+- Inconsistent patterns across routes
+- Role logic in both client and server
+- Debugging nightmare with unclear flow
+
+## The Solution
+
+### Core Principle: **Single Source of Truth**
+
+All routing decisions flow through **one centralized configuration system**:
+
+```typescript
+// apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts
+export const routes = {
+  auth: {
+    login: '/auth/login',
+    signup: '/auth/signup',
+    // ... all auth routes
+  },
+  public: {
+    home: '/',
+    leagues: '/leagues',
+    // ... all public routes
+  },
+  protected: {
+    dashboard: '/dashboard',
+    // ... all protected routes
+  },
+  sponsor: {
+    dashboard: '/sponsor/dashboard',
+    // ... sponsor routes
+  },
+  admin: {
+    root: '/admin',
+    users: '/admin/users',
+  },
+  league: {
+    detail: (id: string) => `/leagues/${id}`,
+    // ... parameterized routes
+  },
+  // ... etc
+};
+```
+
+### Architecture Layers
+
+#### 1. **Edge Middleware** (Simple & Clean)
+```typescript
+// apps/website/middleware.ts
+export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
+  const hasAuthCookie = request.cookies.has('gp_session');
+  
+  // Public routes from config
+  const publicRoutes = [
+    routes.public.home,
+    routes.public.leagues,
+    routes.auth.login,
+    // ... etc
+  ];
+  
+  if (publicRoutes.includes(pathname)) {
+    // Handle auth route redirects
+    return NextResponse.next();
+  }
+  
+  // Protected routes
+  if (!hasAuthCookie) {
+    const loginUrl = new URL(routes.auth.login, request.url);
+    loginUrl.searchParams.set('returnTo', pathname);
+    return NextResponse.redirect(loginUrl);
+  }
+  
+  return NextResponse.next();
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- ✅ Check session cookie
+- ✅ Allow public routes
+- ✅ Redirect to login if no cookie
+- ❌ No role checking
+- ❌ No hardcoded paths
+
+#### 2. **Client Guards** (UX Enhancement)
+```typescript
+// apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.tsx
+export function AuthGuard({ children, requireAuth = true }: AuthGuardProps) {
+  const { session, loading } = useAuth();
+  const router = useRouter();
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (requireAuth && !loading && !session) {
+      const url = new URL(routes.auth.login, window.location.origin);
+      url.searchParams.set('returnTo', window.location.pathname);
+      router.push(url.toString());
+    }
+  }, [session, loading]);
+
+  if (loading) return <LoadingState />;
+  if (!session && requireAuth) return null;
+  return <>{children}</>;
+}
+
+// apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.tsx
+export function RoleGuard({ children, requiredRoles }: RoleGuardProps) {
+  const { session, loading } = useAuth();
+  const router = useRouter();
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (!loading && session && !requiredRoles.includes(session.role)) {
+      router.push(routes.protected.dashboard);
+    }
+  }, [session, loading]);
+
+  if (loading) return <LoadingState />;
+  if (!session || !requiredRoles.includes(session.role)) return null;
+  return <>{children}</>;
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- ✅ Verify session exists
+- ✅ Show loading states
+- ✅ Redirect if unauthorized
+- ✅ Hide UI elements
+- ❌ Make security decisions
+
+#### 3. **API Guards** (Source of Truth)
+```typescript
+// apps/api/src/domain/auth/AuthorizationGuard.ts
+@Injectable()
+export class AuthorizationGuard implements CanActivate {
+  canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): boolean {
+    const isPublic = this.reflector.getMetadata('public', handler);
+    if (isPublic) return true;
+
+    const request = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
+    const userId = request.user?.userId;
+
+    if (!userId) {
+      throw new UnauthorizedException('Authentication required');
+    }
+
+    const rolesMetadata = this.reflector.getMetadata('roles', handler);
+    if (rolesMetadata) {
+      const userRoles = this.authorizationService.getRolesForUser(userId);
+      const hasRole = rolesMetadata.some(r => userRoles.includes(r));
+      if (!hasRole) {
+        throw new ForbiddenException('Access denied');
+      }
+    }
+
+    return true;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities:**
+- ✅ Verify authentication
+- ✅ Check permissions
+- ✅ Return 401/403
+- ❌ Redirect
+- ❌ Trust client
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+#### Public Route
+```typescript
+// app/leagues/page.tsx
+export default function LeaguesPage() {
+  return <LeaguesList />;
+}
+// No protection needed
+```
+
+#### Authenticated Route
+```typescript
+// app/dashboard/layout.tsx
+import { AuthGuard } from '@/lib/guards/AuthGuard';
+
+export default function DashboardLayout({ children }) {
+  return (
+    <AuthGuard>
+      <div className="min-h-screen bg-deep-graphite">
+        {children}
+      </div>
+    </AuthGuard>
+  );
+}
+
+// app/dashboard/page.tsx
+export default function DashboardPage() {
+  return <DashboardContent />;
+}
+```
+
+#### Role-Protected Route
+```typescript
+// app/admin/layout.tsx
+import { AuthGuard } from '@/lib/guards/AuthGuard';
+import { RoleGuard } from '@/lib/guards/RoleGuard';
+
+export default function AdminLayout({ children }) {
+  return (
+    <AuthGuard>
+      <RoleGuard requiredRoles={['owner', 'admin']}>
+        <div className="min-h-screen bg-deep-graphite">
+          {children}
+        </div>
+      </RoleGuard>
+    </AuthGuard>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### Scoped Route (League Admin)
+```typescript
+// app/leagues/[id]/settings/layout.tsx
+import { AuthGuard } from '@/lib/guards/AuthGuard';
+import { LeagueAccessGuard } from '@/components/leagues/LeagueAccessGuard';
+
+export default function LeagueSettingsLayout({ children, params }) {
+  return (
+    <AuthGuard>
+      <LeagueAccessGuard leagueId={params.id}>
+        <div className="min-h-screen bg-deep-graphite">
+          {children}
+        </div>
+      </LeagueAccessGuard>
+    </AuthGuard>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### API Endpoint
+```typescript
+// apps/api/src/domain/league/LeagueController.ts
+@Controller('leagues')
+export class LeagueController {
+  @Get(':leagueId/admin')
+  @RequireAuthenticatedUser()
+  @RequireRoles('admin')
+  getLeagueAdmin(@Param('leagueId') leagueId: string) {
+    // Service verifies league-specific permissions
+    return this.leagueService.getAdminData(leagueId);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+### 1. **Predictable Flow**
+```
+User Request → Middleware (check cookie) → API (auth + authz) → Controller → Response → Client (handle errors)
+```
+
+### 2. **Easy Debugging**
+```bash
+# Check middleware
+curl -I http://localhost:3000/dashboard
+
+# Check API auth
+curl -I http://localhost:3000/api/admin/users \
+  -H "Cookie: gp_session=token"
+
+# Check client session
+# Browser console: console.log(useAuth().session)
+```
+
+### 3. **i18n Ready**
+```typescript
+// Future: Switch locales by changing config
+const routesDe = { ...routes, auth: { login: '/de/auth/login' } };
+const routesEs = { ...routes, auth: { login: '/es/auth/login' } };
+
+// All code uses routes.auth.login, so switching is trivial
+```
+
+### 4. **Type Safety**
+```typescript
+// Compile-time checking
+routes.league.detail('123'); // ✅ Works
+routes.league.detail();      // ❌ Error: requires string
+
+// Parameter validation
+const path = buildPath('league.detail', { id: '123' }); // ✅
+const path = buildPath('league.detail', {});            // ❌ Error
+```
+
+### 5. **Maintainable**
+- **One file** to change all routes
+- **No hardcoded paths** anywhere else
+- **Clear separation** of concerns
+- **Easy to test** each layer independently
+

+- [ ] `/admin` → Redirects to `/auth/login?returnTo=/admin`
+- [ ] `/leagues` → Works (public)
+- [ ] `/auth/login` → Works (public)
+
+### Authenticated User (Regular)
+- [ ] `/dashboard` → Works
+- [ ] `/admin` → Redirects to `/dashboard` (no role)
+- [ ] `/leagues` → Works (public)
+- [ ] `/auth/login` → Redirects to `/dashboard`
+
+### Authenticated User (Admin)
+- [ ] `/dashboard` → Works
+- [ ] `/admin` → Works
+- [ ] `/admin/users` → Works
+
+### Session Expiry
+- [ ] Navigate to protected route with expired session → Redirect to login
+- [ ] Return to original route after login → Works
+
+### API Direct Calls
+- [ ] Call protected endpoint without auth → 401
+- [ ] Call admin endpoint without role → 403
+- [ ] Call public endpoint → 200
+
+## Summary
+
+This architecture eliminates the chaos by:
+
+1. **One Source of Truth**: All routes in `RouteConfig.ts`
+2. **Clear Layers**: Middleware → API → Guards → Controller
+3. **No Hardcoded Paths**: Everything uses the config
+4. **i18n Ready**: Easy to add localized routes
+5. **Type Safe**: Compile-time route validation
+6. **Easy to Debug**: Each layer has one job
+
+**Result**: Clean, predictable, secure authentication that just works.

+# Quick Reference: Clean Authentication & Authorization
+
+## The Golden Rules
+
+1. **API is the source of truth** - Never trust the client for security
+2. **Client is UX only** - Redirect, show loading, hide buttons
+3. **One clear flow** - Middleware → API → Guard → Controller
+4. **Roles are server-side** - Client only knows "can access" or "can't"
+
+## What Goes Where
+
+### Server-Side (API)
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Check permissions
+@RequireRoles('admin')
+@Get('users')
+getUsers() { ... }
+
+// ✅ DO: Return 401/403
+throw new UnauthorizedException('Auth required')
+throw new ForbiddenException('No permission')
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Redirect
+res.redirect('/login') // Never do this
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Trust client identity
+const userId = req.body.userId // Wrong!
+const userId = req.user.userId // Correct
+```
+
+### Client-Side (Website)
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Redirect unauthenticated users
+if (!session && !loading) {
+  router.push('/auth/login')
+}
+
+// ✅ DO: Show loading states
+if (loading) return <Loading />
+
+// ✅ DO: Hide UI elements
+{canAccess && <button>Delete</button>}
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Make security decisions
+if (user.role === 'admin') // Wrong! API decides
+
+// ❌ DON'T: Trust your own checks
+// Client checks are UX only, API is the gatekeeper
+```
+
+## Route Protection Patterns
+
+### Public Route
+```typescript
+// app/leagues/page.tsx
+export default function LeaguesPage() {
+  return <LeaguesList />;
+}
+// No protection needed - accessible by all
+```
+
+### Authenticated Route
+```typescript
+// app/dashboard/layout.tsx
+import { AuthLayout } from '@/lib/guards/AuthLayout';
+
+export default function DashboardLayout({ children }) {
+  return <AuthLayout>{children}</AuthLayout>;
+}
+
+// app/dashboard/page.tsx
+export default function DashboardPage() {
+  return <DashboardContent />;
+}
+// Layout handles auth check, page is clean
+```
+
+### Role-Protected Route
+```typescript
+// app/admin/layout.tsx
+import { RoleLayout } from '@/lib/guards/RoleLayout';
+
+export default function AdminLayout({ children }) {
+  return (
+    <RoleLayout requiredRoles={['owner', 'admin']}>
+      {children}
+    </RoleLayout>
+  );
+}
+
+// app/admin/page.tsx
+export default function AdminPage() {
+  return <AdminDashboard />;
+}
+// Layout handles role check
+```
+
+### Scoped Route (League Admin)
+```typescript
+// app/leagues/[id]/settings/layout.tsx
+import { AuthLayout } from '@/lib/guards/AuthLayout';
+import { LeagueAccessGuard } from '@/components/leagues/LeagueAccessGuard';
+
+export default function LeagueSettingsLayout({ children, params }) {
+  return (
+    <AuthLayout>
+      <LeagueAccessGuard leagueId={params.id}>
+        {children}
+      </LeagueAccessGuard>
+    </AuthLayout>
+  );
+}
+// Multiple guards for complex scenarios
+```
+
+## API Endpoint Patterns
+
+### Public Endpoint
+```typescript
+@Public()
+@Get('pricing')
+getPricing() { ... }
+// No auth required
+```
+
+### Authenticated Endpoint
+```typescript
+@RequireAuthenticatedUser()
+@Get('profile')
+getProfile(@User() user: UserEntity) { ... }
+// Any logged-in user
+```
+
+### Role-Protected Endpoint
+```typescript
+@RequireRoles('admin')
+@Get('users')
+getUsers() { ... }
+// Only admins
+```
+
+### Scoped Endpoint
+```typescript
+@RequireAuthenticatedUser()
+@Get('leagues/:leagueId/admin')
+getLeagueAdmin(
+  @Param('leagueId') leagueId: string,
+  @User() user: UserEntity
+) {
+  // Check if user is league admin
+  this.leagueService.verifyLeagueAdmin(leagueId, user.id);
+  ...
+}
+// Check scope in service
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### API Returns
+- **401 Unauthorized**: No/invalid session
+- **403 Forbidden**: Has session but no permission
+- **404 Not Found**: Resource doesn't exist OR non-disclosure
+
+### Client Handles
+```typescript
+try {
+  const data = await apiFetch('/api/admin/users');
+  return data;
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error.message.includes('401')) {
+    // Redirect to login
+    window.location.href = '/auth/login';
+  } else if (error.message.includes('403')) {
+    // Show access denied
+    toast.error('You need admin access');
+    router.push('/dashboard');
+  } else {
+    // Show error
+    toast.error(error.message);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+### ❌ Wrong
+```typescript
+// Client making security decisions
+function AdminPage() {
+  const { session } = useAuth();
+  if (session?.role !== 'admin') return <AccessDenied />;
+  return <AdminDashboard />;
+}
+
+// API trusting client
+@Post('delete')
+deleteUser(@Body() body: { userId: string }) {
+  const userId = body.userId; // Could be anyone!
+  ...
+}
+
+// Middleware doing too much
+if (user.role === 'admin') { // Wrong place for this!
+  return NextResponse.next();
+}
+```
+
+### ✅ Correct
+```typescript
+// Client handles UX only
+function AdminPage() {
+  return (
+    <RoleLayout requiredRoles={['admin']}>
+      <AdminDashboard />
+    </RoleLayout>
+  );
+}
+
+// API is source of truth
+@Post('delete')
+@RequireRoles('admin')
+deleteUser(@User() user: UserEntity, @Body() body: { userId: string }) {
+  // user.id is from session, body.userId is target
+  // Service verifies permissions
+  ...
+}
+
+// Middleware only checks auth
+if (!hasAuthCookie) {
+  return redirect('/login');
+}
+// Let API handle roles
+```
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Before Deploy
+- [ ] Unauthenticated user can't access protected routes
+- [ ] Authenticated user can access their routes
+- [ ] Wrong role gets redirected/denied
+- [ ] Session expiry redirects to login
+- [ ] API returns proper 401/403 codes
+- [ ] Public routes work without login
+
+### Quick Test Commands
+```bash
+# Test API directly
+curl -I http://localhost:3000/api/admin/users
+# Should return 401 (no auth)
+
+# Test with session
+curl -I http://localhost:3000/api/admin/users \
+  -H "Cookie: gp_session=valid_token"
+# Should return 200 or 403 depending on role
+
+# Test public route
+curl -I http://localhost:3000/api/leagues/all
+# Should return 200
+```
+
+## Migration Steps
+
+1. **Simplify middleware** - Remove role logic
+2. **Create clean guards** - AuthLayout, RoleLayout
+3. **Update layouts** - Replace old RouteGuard
+4. **Test all routes** - Check redirects work
+5. **Verify API** - All endpoints have proper decorators
+
+## Remember
+
+- **Server**: Security, permissions, data filtering
+- **Client**: UX, loading states, redirects
+- **Flow**: Always the same, always predictable
+- **Debug**: Check each layer in order
+
+**When in doubt**: The API decides. The client just shows what the API says.

+# Unified Authentication & Authorization Architecture
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document defines a **clean, predictable, and secure** authentication and authorization architecture that eliminates the current "fucking unpredictable mess" by establishing clear boundaries between server-side and client-side responsibilities.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### What's Wrong
+
+1. **Confusing Layers**: Middleware, RouteGuards, AuthGuards, Blockers, Gateways - unclear hierarchy
+2. **Mixed Responsibilities**: Server and client both doing similar checks inconsistently  
+3. **Inconsistent Patterns**: Some routes use middleware, some use guards, some use both
+4. **Role Confusion**: Frontend has role logic that should be server-only
+5. **Debugging Nightmare**: Multiple layers with unclear flow
+
+### What's Actually Working
+
+1. **API Guards**: Clean NestJS pattern with `@Public()`, `@RequireRoles()`
+2. **Basic Middleware**: Route protection works at edge
+3. **Auth Context**: Session management exists
+4. **Permission Model**: Documented in AUTHORIZATION.md
+
+## Core Principle: Server as Source of Truth
+
+**Golden Rule**: The API server is the **single source of truth** for authentication and authorization. The client is a dumb terminal that displays what the server allows.
+
+### Server-Side Responsibilities (API)
+
+#### 1. Authentication
+- ✅ **Session Validation**: Verify JWT/session cookies
+- ✅ **Identity Resolution**: Who is this user?
+- ✅ **Token Management**: Issue, refresh, revoke tokens
+- ❌ **UI Redirects**: Never redirect, return 401/403
+
+#### 2. Authorization  
+- ✅ **Role Verification**: Check user roles against requirements
+- ✅ **Permission Evaluation**: Check capabilities (view/mutate)
+- ✅ **Scope Resolution**: Determine league/sponsor/team context
+- ✅ **Access Denial**: Return 401/403 with clear messages
+- ❌ **Client State**: Never trust client-provided identity
+
+#### 3. Data Filtering
+- ✅ **Filter sensitive data**: Remove fields based on permissions
+- ✅ **Scope-based queries**: Only return data user can access
+- ❌ **Client-side filtering**: Never rely on frontend to hide data
+
+### Client-Side Responsibilities (Website)
+
+#### 1. UX Enhancement
+- ✅ **Loading States**: Show "Verifying authentication..."
+- ✅ **Redirects**: Send unauthenticated users to login
+- ✅ **UI Hiding**: Hide buttons/links user can't access
+- ✅ **Feedback**: Show "Access denied" messages
+- ❌ **Security**: Never trust client checks for security
+
+#### 2. Session Management
+- ✅ **Session Cache**: Store session in context
+- ✅ **Auto-refresh**: Fetch session on app load
+- ✅ **Logout Flow**: Clear local state, call API logout
+- ❌ **Role Logic**: Don't make decisions based on roles
+
+#### 3. Route Protection
+- ✅ **Middleware**: Basic auth check at edge
+- ✅ **Layout Guards**: Verify session before rendering
+- ✅ **Page Guards**: Additional verification (defense in depth)
+- ❌ **Authorization**: Don't check permissions, let API fail

+
+## Implementation: Clean Route Protection
+
+### Step 1: Simplify Middleware (Edge Layer)
+
+**File**: `apps/website/middleware.ts`
+
+```typescript
+import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
+import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
+
+/**
+ * Edge Middleware - Simple and Predictable
+ * 
+ * Responsibilities:
+ * 1. Allow public routes (static assets, auth pages, discovery)
+ * 2. Check for session cookie on protected routes
+ * 3. Redirect to login if no cookie
+ * 4. Let everything else through (API handles authorization)
+ */
+export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
+  const { pathname } = request.nextUrl;
+
+  // 1. Always allow static assets and API routes
+  if (
+    pathname.startsWith('/_next/') ||
+    pathname.startsWith('/api/') ||
+    pathname.match(/\.(svg|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|webp|ico|css|js)$/)
+  ) {
+    return NextResponse.next();
+  }
+
+  // 2. Define public routes (no auth required)
+  const publicRoutes = [
+    '/',
+    '/auth/login',
+    '/auth/signup',
+    '/auth/forgot-password',
+    '/auth/reset-password',
+    '/auth/iracing',
+    '/auth/iracing/start',
+    '/auth/iracing/callback',
+    '/leagues',
+    '/drivers',
+    '/teams',
+    '/leaderboards',
+    '/races',
+    '/sponsor/signup',
+  ];
+
+  // 3. Check if current route is public
+  const isPublic = publicRoutes.includes(pathname) || 
+    publicRoutes.some(route => pathname.startsWith(route + '/'));
+
+  if (isPublic) {
+    // Special handling: redirect authenticated users away from auth pages
+    const hasAuthCookie = request.cookies.has('gp_session');
+    const authRoutes = ['/auth/login', '/auth/signup', '/auth/forgot-password', '/auth/reset-password'];
+    
+    if (authRoutes.includes(pathname) && hasAuthCookie) {
+      return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/dashboard', request.url));
+    }
+    
+    return NextResponse.next();
+  }
+
+  // 4. Protected routes: require session cookie
+  const hasAuthCookie = request.cookies.has('gp_session');
+  
+  if (!hasAuthCookie) {
+    const loginUrl = new URL('/auth/login', request.url);
+    loginUrl.searchParams.set('returnTo', pathname);
+    return NextResponse.redirect(loginUrl);
+  }
+
+  // 5. User has cookie, let them through
+  // API will handle actual authorization
+  return NextResponse.next();
+}
+
+export const config = {
+  matcher: [
+    '/((?!_next/static|_next/image|_next/data|favicon.ico|.*\\.(?:svg|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|webp|mp4|webm|mov|avi)$).*)',
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+### Step 2: Clean Layout Guards (Client Layer)
+
+**File**: `apps/website/lib/guards/AuthLayout.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { ReactNode, useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';
+import { LoadingState } from '@/components/shared/LoadingState';
+
+interface AuthLayoutProps {
+  children: ReactNode;
+  requireAuth?: boolean;
+  redirectTo?: string;
+}
+
+/**
+ * AuthLayout - Client-side session verification
+ * 
+ * Responsibilities:
+ * 1. Verify user session exists
+ * 2. Show loading state while checking
+ * 3. Redirect to login if no session
+ * 4. Render children if authenticated
+ * 
+ * Does NOT check permissions - that's the API's job
+ */
+export function AuthLayout({ 
+  children, 
+  requireAuth = true,
+  redirectTo = '/auth/login'
+}: AuthLayoutProps) {
+  const router = useRouter();
+  const { session, loading } = useAuth();
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (!requireAuth) return;
+    
+    // If done loading and no session, redirect
+    if (!loading && !session) {
+      const returnTo = window.location.pathname;
+      router.push(`${redirectTo}?returnTo=${encodeURIComponent(returnTo)}`);
+    }
+  }, [loading, session, router, requireAuth, redirectTo]);
+
+  // Show loading state
+  if (loading) {
+    return (
+      <div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center bg-deep-graphite">
+        <LoadingState message="Verifying authentication..." />
+      </div>
+    );
+  }
+
+  // Show nothing while redirecting (or show error if not redirecting)
+  if (requireAuth && !session) {
+    return null;
+  }
+
+  // Render protected content
+  return <>{children}</>;
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Role-Based Layout (Client Layer)
+
+**File**: `apps/website/lib/guards/RoleLayout.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { ReactNode, useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';
+import { LoadingState } from '@/components/shared/LoadingState';
+
+interface RoleLayoutProps {
+  children: ReactNode;
+  requiredRoles: string[];
+  redirectTo?: string;
+}
+
+/**
+ * RoleLayout - Client-side role verification
+ * 
+ * Responsibilities:
+ * 1. Verify user session exists
+ * 2. Show loading state
+ * 3. Redirect if no session OR insufficient role
+ * 4. Render children if authorized
+ * 
+ * Note: This is UX enhancement. API is still source of truth.
+ */
+export function RoleLayout({ 
+  children, 
+  requiredRoles,
+  redirectTo = '/auth/login'
+}: RoleLayoutProps) {
+  const router = useRouter();
+  const { session, loading } = useAuth();
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (loading) return;
+
+    // No session? Redirect
+    if (!session) {
+      const returnTo = window.location.pathname;
+      router.push(`${redirectTo}?returnTo=${encodeURIComponent(returnTo)}`);
+      return;
+    }
+
+    // Has session but wrong role? Redirect
+    if (requiredRoles.length > 0 && !requiredRoles.includes(session.role || '')) {
+      // Could redirect to dashboard or show access denied
+      router.push('/dashboard');
+      return;
+    }
+  }, [loading, session, router, requiredRoles, redirectTo]);
+
+  if (loading) {
+    return (
+      <div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center bg-deep-graphite">
+        <LoadingState message="Verifying access..." />
+      </div>
+    );
+  }
+
+  if (!session || (requiredRoles.length > 0 && !requiredRoles.includes(session.role || ''))) {
+    return null;
+  }
+
+  return <>{children}</>;
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Usage Examples
+
+#### Public Route (No Protection)
+```typescript
+// app/leagues/page.tsx
+export default function LeaguesPage() {
+  return <LeaguesList />;
+}
+```
+
+#### Authenticated Route
+```typescript
+// app/dashboard/layout.tsx
+import { AuthLayout } from '@/lib/guards/AuthLayout';
+
+export default function DashboardLayout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  return (
+    <AuthLayout requireAuth={true}>
+      <div className="min-h-screen bg-deep-graphite">
+        {children}
+      </div>
+    </AuthLayout>
+  );
+}
+
+// app/dashboard/page.tsx
+export default function DashboardPage() {
+  // No additional auth checks needed - layout handles it
+  return <DashboardContent />;
+}
+```
+
+#### Role-Protected Route
+```typescript
+// app/admin/layout.tsx
+import { RoleLayout } from '@/lib/guards/RoleLayout';
+
+export default function AdminLayout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  return (
+    <RoleLayout requiredRoles={['owner', 'admin']}>
+      <div className="min-h-screen bg-deep-graphite">
+        {children}
+      </div>
+    </RoleLayout>
+  );
+}
+
+// app/admin/page.tsx
+export default function AdminPage() {
+  // No additional checks - layout handles role verification
+  return <AdminDashboard />;
+}
+```
+
+#### Scoped Route (League Admin)
+```typescript
+// app/leagues/[id]/settings/layout.tsx
+import { AuthLayout } from '@/lib/guards/AuthLayout';
+import { LeagueAccessGuard } from '@/components/leagues/LeagueAccessGuard';
+
+export default function LeagueSettingsLayout({ 
+  children,
+  params 
+}: { 
+  children: ReactNode;
+  params: { id: string };
+}) {
+  return (
+    <AuthLayout requireAuth={true}>
+      <LeagueAccessGuard leagueId={params.id}>
+        <div className="min-h-screen bg-deep-graphite">
+          {children}
+        </div>
+      </LeagueAccessGuard>
+    </AuthLayout>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: API Guard Cleanup
+
+**File**: `apps/api/src/domain/auth/AuthorizationGuard.ts`
+
+```typescript
+import { CanActivate, ExecutionContext, ForbiddenException, Injectable, UnauthorizedException } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { Reflector } from '@nestjs/core';
+import { AuthorizationService } from './AuthorizationService';
+import { PUBLIC_ROUTE_METADATA_KEY } from './Public';
+import { REQUIRE_ROLES_METADATA_KEY, RequireRolesMetadata } from './RequireRoles';
+
+type AuthenticatedRequest = {
+  user?: { userId: string };
+};
+
+@Injectable()
+export class AuthorizationGuard implements CanActivate {
+  constructor(
+    private readonly reflector: Reflector,
+    private readonly authorizationService: AuthorizationService,
+  ) {}
+
+  canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): boolean {
+    const handler = context.getHandler();
+    const controllerClass = context.getClass();
+
+    // 1. Check if route is public
+    const isPublic = this.reflector.getAllAndOverride<{ public: true } | undefined>(
+      PUBLIC_ROUTE_METADATA_KEY,
+      [handler, controllerClass],
+    )?.public ?? false;
+
+    if (isPublic) {
+      return true;
+    }
+
+    // 2. Get required roles
+    const rolesMetadata = this.reflector.getAllAndOverride<RequireRolesMetadata | undefined>(
+      REQUIRE_ROLES_METADATA_KEY,
+      [handler, controllerClass],
+    ) ?? null;
+
+    // 3. Get user identity from request (set by AuthenticationGuard)
+    const request = context.switchToHttp().getRequest<AuthenticatedRequest>();
+    const userId = request.user?.userId;
+
+    // 4. Deny if not authenticated
+    if (!userId) {
+      throw new UnauthorizedException('Authentication required');
+    }
+
+    // 5. If no roles required, allow
+    if (!rolesMetadata || rolesMetadata.anyOf.length === 0) {
+      return true;
+    }
+
+    // 6. Check if user has required role
+    const userRoles = this.authorizationService.getRolesForUser(userId);
+    const hasAnyRole = rolesMetadata.anyOf.some((r) => userRoles.includes(r));
+    
+    if (!hasAnyRole) {
+      throw new ForbiddenException(`Access requires one of: ${rolesMetadata.anyOf.join(', ')}`);
+    }
+
+    return true;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Client Error Handling
+
+**File**: `apps/website/lib/api/client.ts`
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * API Client with unified error handling
+ */
+export async function apiFetch(url: string, options: RequestInit = {}) {
+  const response = await fetch(url, {
+    ...options,
+    credentials: 'include',
+    headers: {
+      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+      ...options.headers,
+    },
+  });
+
+  // Handle authentication errors
+  if (response.status === 401) {
+    // Session expired or invalid
+    window.location.href = '/auth/login?returnTo=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.pathname);
+    throw new Error('Authentication required');
+  }
+
+  // Handle authorization errors
+  if (response.status === 403) {
+    const error = await response.json().catch(() => ({ message: 'Access denied' }));
+    throw new Error(error.message || 'You do not have permission to access this resource');
+  }
+
+  // Handle not found
+  if (response.status === 404) {
+    throw new Error('Resource not found');
+  }
+
+  // Handle server errors
+  if (response.status >= 500) {
+    throw new Error('Server error. Please try again later.');
+  }
+
+  return response;
+}
+```
+

+- [ ] `/profile` → Redirects to `/auth/login?returnTo=/profile`
+- [ ] `/admin` → Redirects to `/auth/login?returnTo=/admin`
+- [ ] `/leagues` → Works (public)
+- [ ] `/auth/login` → Works (public)
+
+### Authenticated User (Regular)
+- [ ] `/dashboard` → Works
+- [ ] `/profile` → Works
+- [ ] `/admin` → Redirects to `/dashboard` (no role)
+- [ ] `/leagues` → Works (public)
+- [ ] `/auth/login` → Redirects to `/dashboard`
+
+### Authenticated User (Admin)
+- [ ] `/dashboard` → Works
+- [ ] `/profile` → Works
+- [ ] `/admin` → Works
+- [ ] `/admin/users` → Works
+- [ ] `/leagues` → Works (public)
+
+### Session Expiry
+- [ ] Navigate to protected route with expired session → Redirect to login
+- [ ] Return to original route after login → Works
+
+### API Direct Calls
+- [ ] Call protected endpoint without auth → 401
+- [ ] Call admin endpoint without role → 403
+- [ ] Call public endpoint → 200
+
+## Summary
+
+This architecture eliminates the "fucking unpredictable mess" by:
+
+1. **One Source of Truth**: API server handles all security
+2. **Clear Layers**: Middleware → API → Guards → Controller
+3. **Simple Client**: UX enhancement only, no security decisions
+4. **Predictable Flow**: Always the same path for every request
+5. **Easy to Debug**: Each layer has one job
+
+The result: **Clean, predictable, secure authentication and authorization that just works.**

+# Website auth + route protection rethink (class-based single concept)
+
+Goal: replace the current mixed system of Next middleware + client guards + demo cookies + alpha mode branches with **one coherent, predictable system** implemented via a small set of **clean, solid classes**.
+
+Non-negotiables:
+
+- **Server-side is canonical** for access control and redirects.
+- **Client-side is UX only** (show/hide UI, session-aware components) and never a source of truth.
+- “Demo” is just **a predefined user account**; no special routing/auth logic.
+- “Alpha mode” is removed; **feature flags** decide what UI/features are visible.
+
+This plan is designed to keep existing integration coverage in [`tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts`](../tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts:1) passing, adjusting tests only when the old behavior was accidental.
+
+---
+
+## 1) Current state (what exists today)
+
+### 1.1 Server-side (Edge middleware)
+
+[`apps/website/middleware.ts`](../apps/website/middleware.ts:1) currently:
+
+- Treats presence of cookie `gp_session` as “authenticated”.
+- Uses a hardcoded `publicRoutes` array derived from [`routes`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:114).
+- Redirects unauthenticated users to `/auth/login?returnTo=...`.
+- Redirects authenticated users away from `/auth/*` pages based on cookie `gridpilot_demo_mode` (special-case sponsor).
+
+Problems:
+
+- Cookie presence ≠ valid session (session drift tests exist).
+- Authorization decisions are made without server-side session validation.
+- Demo cookies influence routing decisions (non-canonical).
+
+### 1.2 Client-side (guards + AuthContext)
+
+- [`apps/website/lib/auth/AuthContext.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/auth/AuthContext.tsx:1) fetches session via `sessionService.getSession()` on mount.
+- Client-only route wrappers:
+  - [`apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.tsx:1)
+  - [`apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.tsx:1)
+
+Problems:
+
+- Double guarding: middleware may redirect, and guards may redirect again after hydration (flicker).
+- Guards treat “wrong role” like “unauthenticated” (this is fine and matches chosen UX), but enforcement is inconsistent.
+
+### 1.3 “Alpha mode” and demo exceptions
+
+- [`apps/website/app/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/layout.tsx:1) branches on `mode === 'alpha'` and renders a different shell.
+- Demo logic leaks into routing via `gridpilot_demo_mode` in middleware (and various components).
+- Tests currently set cookies like `gridpilot_demo_mode`, sponsor id/name, plus drift cookies (see [`tests/integration/website/websiteAuth.ts`](../tests/integration/website/websiteAuth.ts:1)).
+
+We will remove all of this:
+
+- **No alpha mode**: replaced with feature flags.
+- **No demo routing exceptions**: demo is a user, not a mode.
+
+---
+
+## 2) Target concept (one clean concept expressed as classes)
+
+### 2.1 Definitions
+
+**Authentication**
+
+- A request is “authenticated” iff API `/auth/session` (or `/api/auth/session`) returns a valid session object.
+- The `gp_session` cookie is an opaque session identifier; presence alone is never trusted.
+
+**Authorization**
+
+- A request is “authorized” for a route iff the session exists and session role satisfies the route requirement.
+
+**Canonical redirect behavior (approved)**
+
+- If route is protected and user is unauthenticated OR unauthorized (wrong role):
+  - redirect to `/auth/login?returnTo=<current path>`.
+
+This is intentionally strict and matches the existing integration expectations for role checks.
+
+### 2.2 Where things live (server vs client)
+
+**Server-side (canonical)**
+
+- Route protection + redirects, implemented in Next App Router **server layouts**.
+- Route access matrix is defined once and reused.
+
+**Client-side (UX only)**
+
+- `AuthProvider` holds `session` to render navigation, user pill, etc.
+- Client may refresh session on demand (after login/logout), but not on every navigation.
+
+---
+
+## 3) Proposed architecture (clean classes)
+
+The core idea: build a tiny “auth kernel” for the website that provides:
+
+- route access decisions (pure)
+- server session retrieval (gateway)
+- redirect URL construction (pure + safe)
+- route enforcement (guards)
+
+These are classes so responsibilities are explicit, testable, and deletions are easy.
+
+### 3.1 Class inventory (what we will build)
+
+This section also addresses the hard requirement:
+
+- avoid hardcoded route pathnames so we can extend later (e.g. i18n)
+
+That means:
+
+- internal logic talks in **route IDs / route patterns**, not raw string paths
+- redirects are built via **route builders** (locale-aware)
+- policy checks run on a **normalized logical pathname** (locale stripped)
+
+#### 3.1.1 `RouteAccessPolicy`
+
+**Responsibility:** answer “what does this path require?”
+
+Inputs:
+
+- `logicalPathname` (normalized path, locale removed; see `PathnameInterpreter`)
+
+Outputs:
+
+- `isPublic(pathname): boolean`
+- `isAuthPage(pathname): boolean` (e.g. `/auth/*`)
+- `requiredRoles(pathname): string[] | null`
+- `roleHome(role): string`
+
+Source of truth for route set:
+
+- The existing inventory in [`tests/integration/website/websiteRouteInventory.ts`](../tests/integration/website/websiteRouteInventory.ts:1) must remain consistent with runtime rules.
+- Canonical route constants remain in [`apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:114).
+
+Why a class?
+
+- Centralizes route matrix and prevents divergence between middleware/guards/layouts.
+
+Avoiding hardcoded paths:
+
+- `RouteAccessPolicy` should not hardcode strings like `/auth/login`.
+- It should instead rely on a `RouteCatalog` (below) that exposes route IDs + patterns derived from [`apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:114).
+
+#### 3.1.2 `ReturnToSanitizer`
+
+**Responsibility:** make `returnTo` safe and predictable.
+
+- `sanitizeReturnTo(input: string | null, fallbackPathname: string): string`
+
+Rules:
+
+- Only allow relative paths starting with `/`.
+- Strip protocol/host if someone passes an absolute URL.
+- Optionally disallow `/api/*` and static assets.
+
+Why a class?
+
+- Open redirects become impossible by construction.
+
+#### 3.1.3 `SessionGateway` (server-only)
+
+**Responsibility:** fetch the canonical session for the current request.
+
+- `getSession(): Promise<AuthSessionDTO | null>`
+
+Implementation details:
+
+- Use server-side `cookies()` to read the incoming cookies.
+- Call same-origin `/api/auth/session` so Next rewrites (see [`apps/website/next.config.mjs`](../apps/website/next.config.mjs:52)) forward to the API.
+- Forward cookies via the `cookie` header.
+- Treat any non-OK response as `null` (never throw for auth checks).
+
+Why a class?
+
+- Encapsulates the “server fetch with forwarded cookies” complexity.
+
+#### 3.1.4 `AuthRedirectBuilder`
+
+**Responsibility:** construct redirect targets consistently (and locale-aware).
+
+- `toLogin({ current }): string` → `<login route>?returnTo=<sanitized current>`
+- `awayFromAuthPage({ session }): string` → role home (driver/sponsor/admin)
+
+Internally uses:
+
+- `RouteAccessPolicy` for roleHome decision
+- `ReturnToSanitizer` for returnTo
+- `RoutePathBuilder` (below) so we do not hardcode `/auth/login` or `/dashboard`
+
+Why a class?
+
+- Eliminates copy/paste `URLSearchParams` and subtle mismatches.
+
+#### 3.1.5 `RouteGuard` (server-only)
+
+**Responsibility:** enforce the policy by redirecting.
+
+- `enforce({ pathname }): Promise<void>`
+
+Logic:
+
+1. If `isPublic(pathname)` and not an auth page: allow.
+2. If `isAuthPage(pathname)`:
+   - if session exists: redirect to role home
+   - else: allow
+3. If protected:
+   - if no session: redirect to login
+   - if `requiredRoles(pathname)` and role not included: redirect to login (approved UX)
+   - else: allow
+
+Why a class?
+
+- Moves all enforcement into one place.
+
+#### 3.1.6 `FeatureFlagService` (server + client)
+
+**Responsibility:** replace “alpha mode” with flags.
+
+- `isEnabled(flag): boolean`
+
+Rules:
+
+- Flags can hide UI or disable pages, but **must not** bypass auth.
+
+Note: implementation depends on your existing flag system; the plan assumes it exists and becomes the only mechanism.
+
+### 3.1.7 `PathnameInterpreter` (i18n-ready, server-only)
+
+**Responsibility:** turn an incoming Next.js `pathname` into a stable “logical” pathname plus locale.
+
+- `interpret(pathname: string): { locale: string | null; logicalPathname: string }`
+
+Rules:
+
+- If later you add i18n where URLs look like `/<locale>/...`, this class strips the locale prefix.
+- If you add Next `basePath`, this class can also strip it.
+
+This allows the rest of the auth system to remain stable even if the URL structure changes.
+
+### 3.1.8 `RouteCatalog` + `RoutePathBuilder` (no hardcoded strings)
+
+**Responsibility:** remove stringly-typed routes from the auth system.
+
+`RouteCatalog` exposes:
+
+- route IDs (e.g. `auth.login`, `protected.dashboard`, `sponsor.dashboard`, `admin.root`)
+- route patterns (for matching): sourced from [`apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:114)
+- helpers built on existing matching tools like `routeMatchers` in [`apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:193)
+
+`RoutePathBuilder` builds locale-aware URLs:
+
+- `build(routeId, params?, { locale? }): string`
+
+Implementation direction:
+
+- Use the existing `routes` object + `buildPath()` in [`apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:307) as the underlying canonical mapping.
+- Add an optional locale prefix when i18n is introduced.
+
+With this, auth code never writes literals like `/auth/login`, `/dashboard`, `/sponsor/dashboard`.
+
+### 3.2 How the classes are used (App Router)
+
+Route enforcement happens in **server layouts**:
+
+- [`apps/website/app/dashboard/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/dashboard/layout.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/app/admin/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/admin/layout.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/app/sponsor/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/sponsor/layout.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/app/profile/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/profile/layout.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/app/onboarding/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/onboarding/layout.tsx:1)
+
+Each layout becomes a small server component wrapper:
+
+1. Instantiate `RouteGuard` with its collaborators.
+2. `PathnameInterpreter` produces `{ locale, logicalPathname }`.
+3. `await guard.enforce({ logicalPathname, locale })`.
+3. Render children.
+
+### 3.3 How matching works without hardcoded paths
+
+When `RouteGuard` needs to answer questions like “is this an auth page?” or “does this require sponsor role?”, it should:
+
+- Match `logicalPathname` against patterns from `RouteCatalog`.
+- Prefer the existing matcher logic in `routeMatchers` (see [`apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts`](../apps/website/lib/routing/RouteConfig.ts:193)) so dynamic routes like `/leagues/[id]/settings` continue to work.
+
+This keeps auth rules stable even if later:
+
+- `/auth/login` becomes `/de/auth/login`
+- or `/anmelden` in German via a localized route mapping
+
+because the matching happens against route IDs/patterns, not by string prefix checks.
+
+### 3.4 Middleware becomes minimal (or removed)
+
+After server layouts exist, middleware should either be:
+
+- **Removed entirely**, or
+- Reduced to only performance/edge cases (static assets bypass, maybe public route list).
+
+Important: middleware cannot reliably call backend session endpoint in all environments without complexity/cost; server layouts can.
+
+### 3.5 Replace alpha mode with feature flags
+
+Alpha mode branch currently in [`apps/website/app/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/layout.tsx:1) should be removed.
+
+Target:
+
+- Introduce a feature flags source (existing system in repo) and a small provider.
+- Feature flags decide:
+  - which navigation items are shown
+  - which pages/features are enabled
+  - which UI shell is used (if we need an “alpha shell”, it’s just a flag)
+
+Rules:
+
+- Feature flags must not bypass auth/authorization.
+- Feature flags must be evaluated server-side for initial render, and optionally rehydrated client-side.
+
+### 3.6 Demo user without logic exceptions
+
+Replace “demo mode cookies” with:
+
+- A standard login flow that returns a normal `gp_session` cookie.
+- Demo login endpoint remains acceptable in non-production, but it should:
+  - authenticate as a *predefined seeded user*
+  - return a normal session payload
+  - set only `gp_session`
+  - not set or depend on `gridpilot_demo_mode`, sponsor id/name cookies
+
+Update all UI that reads `gridpilot_demo_mode` to read session role instead.
+
+---
+
+## 4) Migration plan (implementation sequence, class-driven)
+
+This is ordered to keep tests green most of the time and reduce churn.
+
+### Step 0 — Document and freeze behavior
+
+- Confirm redirect semantics match integration tests:
+  - unauthenticated protected → `/auth/login?returnTo=...`
+  - wrong-role protected → same redirect
+  - authenticated hitting `/auth/login` → redirect to role home (tests currently assert `/dashboard` or `/sponsor/dashboard`)
+
+### Step 1 — Introduce the classes (incl. i18n-ready routing)
+
+- Implement `RouteCatalog` + `RoutePathBuilder` first (removes hardcoded strings, enables i18n later).
+- Implement `PathnameInterpreter` (normalize pathnames).
+- Implement `RouteAccessPolicy` + `ReturnToSanitizer` next (pure logic, easy unit tests).
+- Implement `SessionGateway` (server-only).
+- Implement `AuthRedirectBuilder` (pure + uses sanitizer/policy).
+- Implement `RouteGuard` (composition).
+
+### Step 2 — Convert protected layouts to server enforcement using `RouteGuard`
+
+### Step 3 — Fix auth routes and redirects (server-first)
+
+### Step 4 — Remove alpha mode branches and replace with `FeatureFlagService`
+
+### Step 5 — Remove demo cookies and demo logic exceptions
+
+### Step 6 — Simplify or delete middleware
+
+- Remove all `gridpilot_demo_mode`, sponsor id/name cookies usage.
+- Ensure sponsor role is derived from session.
+
+### Step 7 — Update integration tests
+
+- If server layouts cover all protected routes, middleware can be deleted.
+- If kept, it should only do cheap routing (no role logic, no demo logic).
+
+### Step 8 — Delete obsolete code + tighten tests
+
+- Update cookie setup in [`tests/integration/website/websiteAuth.ts`](../tests/integration/website/websiteAuth.ts:1):
+  - stop setting demo cookies
+  - keep drift cookies if still supported by API
+  - rely solely on `gp_session` from demo-login
+
+- Update expectations in [`tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts`](../tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts:1) only if necessary.
+
+### Step 9 — Run repo verifications
+
+- `eslint`
+- `tsc`
+- integration tests including [`tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts`](../tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts:1)
+
+---
+
+## 5) Files to remove (expected deletions)
+
+These are the primary candidates to delete because they become redundant or incorrect under the new concept.
+
+### 5.1 Website auth/route-protection code to delete
+
+- [`apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.test.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/guards/AuthGuard.test.tsx:1)
+- [`apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.test.tsx`](../apps/website/lib/guards/RoleGuard.test.tsx:1)
+
+Rationale: client-side guards are replaced by server-side enforcement in layouts.
+
+### 5.2 Website Next route handlers that conflict with the canonical API auth flow
+
+- [`apps/website/app/auth/iracing/start/route.ts`](../apps/website/app/auth/iracing/start/route.ts:1)
+- [`apps/website/app/auth/iracing/callback/route.ts`](../apps/website/app/auth/iracing/callback/route.ts:1)
+
+Rationale: these are placeholder/mocks and should be replaced with a single canonical auth flow via the API.
+
+### 5.3 Website logout route handler (currently incorrect)
+
+- [`apps/website/app/auth/logout/route.ts`](../apps/website/app/auth/logout/route.ts:1)
+
+Rationale: deletes `gp_demo_session` instead of `gp_session` and duplicates API logout.
+
+### 5.4 Demo-cookie driven UI (to remove or refactor)
+
+These files likely contain `gridpilot_demo_mode` logic and must be refactored to session-based logic; if purely demo-only, delete.
+
+- [`apps/website/components/dev/DevToolbar.tsx`](../apps/website/components/dev/DevToolbar.tsx:1) (refactor: use session, not demo cookies)
+- [`apps/website/components/profile/UserPill.tsx`](../apps/website/components/profile/UserPill.tsx:1) (refactor)
+- [`apps/website/components/sponsors/SponsorInsightsCard.tsx`](../apps/website/components/sponsors/SponsorInsightsCard.tsx:1) (refactor)
+
+Note: these are not guaranteed deletions, but demo-cookie logic in them must be removed.
+
+### 5.5 Alpha mode (to remove)
+
+- “Alpha mode” branching in [`apps/website/app/layout.tsx`](../apps/website/app/layout.tsx:1) should be removed.
+
+Whether any specific “alpha-only” files are deleted depends on feature flag mapping; the hard requirement is: no `mode === 'alpha'` routing/auth exceptions remain.
+
+---
+
+## 6) Acceptance criteria
+
+- There is exactly one canonical place where access is enforced: server layouts.
+- Middleware contains no auth/role/demo logic (or is deleted).
+- Auth logic has zero hardcoded pathname strings; it relies on route IDs + builders and is i18n-ready.
+- No code uses `gridpilot_demo_mode` or sponsor-id/name cookies to drive auth/redirect logic.
+- Demo login returns a normal session; “demo user” behaves like any other user.
+- Alpha mode is removed; feature flags are used instead.
+- Integration tests under [`tests/integration/website`](../tests/integration/website/auth-flow.test.ts:1) pass.
+- Repo checks pass: eslint + tsc + tests.
