Principal resolution could not tell a broken session store from a genuinely anonymous request, and did unnecessary database work for callers that never presented a session at all. Both are corrected here. Any cookie previously triggered the ambiguity check, so `Cookie: x=y` on an otherwise anonymous request caused an identity database round trip an unauthenticated caller could drive with a header they chose themselves. `hasConfiguredSessionCookie` now parses the Cookie header per RFC 6265 (split on `;`, name is the text before the first `=`, trimmed) and compares the whole name exactly — never `includes`, a substring test, or an unanchored regular expression — so `better-auth.session_token_x`, `x_better-auth.session_token`, a differently-cased spelling, and a percent-encoded lookalike are all correctly not the session cookie. A duplicated name still reports true: ambiguity fails safe towards checking, and reporting true never grants access on its own. The cookie name is not a second hard-coded copy. One `betterAuthOptions` object now feeds both `betterAuth()` and Better Auth's own supported `getCookies` helper, so the detected name — including the `__Secure-` prefix an https baseURL implies — is derived from the exact configuration Better Auth itself uses, and drift is structurally impossible rather than merely tested. The readiness check itself proved almost nothing: `select 1` still succeeded against a dropped session table, a drifted or removed column, or a revoked SELECT privilege, so Better Auth's ambiguous null was reported as a genuinely anonymous request. `probeSessionStore` now plans a real read of the session relation and the exact columns the adapter depends on, under `where false`: PostgreSQL resolves the relation, every column, and the caller's privilege at plan time while matching zero rows, so no session row, token, or user id can be read, logged, or enumerated by the check. It uses the injected pool, never a second connection, and stays bounded by the existing timeout. A missing relation, dropped column, revoked privilege, unreachable connection, and query timeout now all produce the same sanitized 503 with no relation name, column name, SQL, driver text, host, or stack — proven against real PostgreSQL, since that is the only place a broken store looks exactly like an anonymous request.

# Testing
|
||
|
||
Ekklesia separates fast code-level evidence from live infrastructure evidence.
|
||
|
||
## Unit and repository verification
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pnpm test
|
||
pnpm verify
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
These commands exercise package tests, repository boundaries, type checking, offline Core and
|
||
module migration discovery, identity schema drift detection, formatting, linting, and builds.
|
||
Migration-runner unit tests use a narrow database/session port to prove deterministic planning,
|
||
approval, transaction orchestration, cleanup, and sanitized errors. They do not claim to prove
|
||
PostgreSQL behavior. Identity unit tests cover branded opaque-ID contracts, principal shapes,
|
||
configuration validation (secret, base URL, and trusted-origin rules), bounded/validated
|
||
connection and operation (`query_timeout`/`statement_timeout`) database timeouts, the Core identity
|
||
runtime (explicit construction, exact schema mapping, only email/password and rate limiting
|
||
enabled, an explicit `advanced.disableCSRFCheck`/`disableOriginCheck: false` pair, an explicit
|
||
error-only sanitized logger that strips Better Auth's own message and arguments regardless of what
|
||
they contain, pinned 8–128 password-length bounds, sanitized failures, exact whole-name
|
||
session-cookie detection that never fires on a prefixed, suffixed, or differently-cased lookalike,
|
||
and that a broken session store during principal resolution is never silently reported as anonymous
|
||
while an unrelated cookie performs no identity database work at all), and Core migration discovery
|
||
(deterministic ordering, the reserved `core` identity, and collision rejection) — all without a
|
||
live database. `apps/api`'s own unit tests cover its pure Hono app factory (route shapes, module
|
||
route mounting/enforcement/CORS/response sanitization, CORS allow/deny/preflight, deterministic 404
|
||
and sanitized error responses), its runtime configuration, its idempotent shutdown lifecycle
|
||
(concurrent callers share one server-close-then-module-runtime-stop-then-pool-close promise; a
|
||
module-stop failure never prevents pool cleanup; a startup failure after the pool was already
|
||
created still closes it, stopping the module runtime first if it had already started;
|
||
`SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` wiring is exercised through an injectable exit function rather than the real
|
||
`process.exit`), and that importing any of its modules — including the executable server module
|
||
without calling its exported `main` — never reads the environment, connects to PostgreSQL, imports
|
||
a module entrypoint, or starts a server. Real, working (non-throwing) module fixtures prove
|
||
production module-runtime startup/shutdown ordering and cleanup against a mocked pool/Better
|
||
Auth/server — see [Authorization](authorization.md#tests).
|
||
|
||
`pnpm verify` is intentionally Docker-free. It never plans or applies migrations against a live
|
||
database.
|
||
|
||
## Live PostgreSQL migration evidence
|
||
|
||
Docker and the Docker Compose plugin are required for the live suite:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pnpm test:migrations:integration
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The command first builds the workspace through the repository's Turbo build graph, then starts the
|
||
repository's pinned PostgreSQL image in a unique Compose project, waits for bounded health
|
||
readiness, runs the production PostgreSQL adapter and migration services, and removes the
|
||
container, network, and volume. A build failure occurs before Docker provisioning. Each scenario
|
||
also receives a safely named disposable database. Direct host runs use a Docker-assigned random
|
||
port bound only to `127.0.0.1`; a containerized Gitea job joins the isolated Compose network and
|
||
uses the PostgreSQL service name.
|
||
|
||
The live suite proves fresh read-only planning, initial and incremental application, genuine
|
||
no-op behavior, exact applied checksums and history, edited or corrupt history rejection,
|
||
whole-batch DDL rollback, Drizzle breakpoint execution, real advisory-lock concurrency and
|
||
timeouts, lock release after failure, exact destructive approvals, and public-error sanitization.
|
||
It does not make migrations automatic during Core startup.
|
||
|
||
A dedicated set of scenarios exercises the committed Core identity migration against real
|
||
PostgreSQL: read-only planning on a fresh database, applying it and confirming exactly the four
|
||
expected `ekklesia_core_*` tables and their indexes exist, a genuine no-op on a second apply, Core
|
||
executing before a fixture module migration in one batch, previously applied module-only history
|
||
staying byte-for-byte unchanged once Core is introduced, and a later module migration's failure
|
||
rolling back cleanly without damaging the already-committed Core identity migration or leaking the
|
||
advisory lock.
|
||
|
||
A second dedicated suite (`apps/api/tests/api-http.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) starts the real `apps/api` HTTP server against a freshly
|
||
migrated disposable database and exercises it with real HTTP requests: public sign-up (with no
|
||
automatic session, per `autoSignIn: false`), explicit sign-in producing a host-only
|
||
`HttpOnly`/`SameSite=Lax`/secure session cookie, `/api/v1/principal` for both the authenticated and
|
||
anonymous shapes, sign-out actually invalidating the session, a malformed or missing cookie
|
||
resolving as anonymous, duplicate sign-up creating no second identity row, two distinct accounts
|
||
producing identical principal shapes with no elevation and no owner/role/permission data at the
|
||
database level, no plaintext password ever stored, the exact 8–128 password-length boundary (7
|
||
rejected, 8 accepted, 128 accepted, 129 rejected), CORS never returning an allow-origin header for
|
||
an untrusted origin, Better Auth's handler being unreachable outside `/api/auth/*`, a database
|
||
outage during principal resolution producing a sanitized `503` rather than a false anonymous `200`,
|
||
starting the API against an unmigrated database creating no tables at all, and a clean listener/pool
|
||
shutdown.
|
||
|
||
A dedicated group within that suite proves session-store readiness against the real database rather
|
||
than a mock, since that is the only place a broken store looks exactly like an anonymous request: a
|
||
request carrying no cookies and one carrying only an unrelated cookie both resolve as anonymous
|
||
while issuing **no** identity database work at all; a request presenting the configured session
|
||
cookie against a dropped session table, a dropped column, and a revoked `SELECT` privilege each
|
||
produce a sanitized `503 PRINCIPAL_RESOLUTION_FAILED` with no relation name, column name, SQL, or
|
||
driver text in the body or the logs; and a genuinely expired or unknown session against a healthy
|
||
store still resolves as anonymous.
|
||
|
||
The same suite also proves Better Auth's own origin/CSRF protection is production-equivalent under
|
||
the test runner, not just in a plain Node script: a no-cookie first authentication attempt succeeds
|
||
from a trusted browser origin and is rejected (`403`, no permissive CORS header, no leaked detail)
|
||
from an untrusted one; a cookie-bearing state-changing request (sign-out) is rejected the same way
|
||
from an untrusted origin, and the presented session remains valid afterward, proving the rejected
|
||
request never reached sign-out logic. See
|
||
[ADR 0012](../architecture/decisions/0012-identity-origin-csrf-protection-under-test.md) for why
|
||
this previously could not be reproduced reliably under Vitest (Better Auth's own default silently
|
||
skips these checks whenever `isTest()` is true, unless `advanced.disableOriginCheck` is set
|
||
explicitly) and how the fix removes that gap entirely. A further scenario forces a real identity
|
||
database failure and asserts, against actual `console.error`/`warn`/`log` output, that Better
|
||
Auth's own internal error logging — configured explicitly in `core/src/identity/runtime.ts` — never
|
||
emits a raw exception, SQL, connection detail, or the rejected request's origin.
|
||
|
||
A third dedicated suite (`apps/api/tests/module-database.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) proves `context.services.database` against a real,
|
||
installed test module (`core/tests/fixtures/module-database-integration/db-facade/` — never the
|
||
repository's live `modules/` directory, and invisible to normal discovery/Doctor/`modules:validate`
|
||
unless a test explicitly points discovery at it): the module's own table does not exist until its
|
||
migration is explicitly applied, and constructing the pool or facade never creates it; `start`,
|
||
`stop`, and an authorized HTTP handler all receive the identical `ModuleRuntimeServices` object,
|
||
proven by reference equality; a real authorized mutation persists and a later read observes it,
|
||
gated by the same permission/trusted-Origin enforcement every other module route uses; a real
|
||
committed transaction persists and a real rollback (a deliberate unique-constraint violation)
|
||
leaves no partial mutation; a module deliberately catching a real PostgreSQL failure returns its
|
||
own response untouched, while an uncaught one sanitizes to the existing
|
||
`MODULE_HANDLER_FAILED` boundary with no leaked SQL, error text, or path; and a `stop` hook's write
|
||
completes and is independently verifiable, through the harness's own administrative connection —
|
||
never the API's own pool — before that pool closes. See
|
||
[ADR 0016](../architecture/decisions/0016-module-database-access.md).
|
||
|
||
CI runs the same command in the dedicated `migration-smoke` job. After this change is merged, add
|
||
the following pull-request status context to `main` branch protection:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Safe troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
Confirm the prerequisites without printing configuration:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker info
|
||
docker compose version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then rerun `pnpm test:migrations:integration`. The harness emits fixed failure messages and does
|
||
not dump PostgreSQL logs, SQL, container inspection output, or the generated database URL. Do not
|
||
enable query logging, print the test environment, run `docker compose config` without redaction,
|
||
or paste Docker inspection output into an issue. If the Docker daemon itself stopped during
|
||
cleanup, restore it before rerunning so the harness can create a fresh uniquely named project.
