+# DISABLE_AUTH Env Var Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add a `DISABLE_AUTH` environment variable that, when set, makes the Mercury API treat every request as an authenticated super-admin (no token required) and makes the Vue admin UI skip the login screen entirely.
+
+**Architecture:** A new `Config.disable_auth` bool gates a single new helper, `authenticate_or_bypass`, that all auth-checking middleware (`require_auth`, `require_super_admin`, `require_admin_query`, `require_admin_cache`, `blacklist_layer`) call instead of manually extracting a bearer token. When bypassing, it injects a synthetic super-admin `Claims`. A new public `GET /auth/config` endpoint exposes the flag so the frontend's Pinia auth store can short-circuit `isAuthenticated`/`isSuperAdmin` and the router guard never redirects to `/login`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust/Axum/SQLx backend, Vue 3 + Pinia + vue-router frontend.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Default `DISABLE_AUTH` to off/false — the app must behave exactly as today when it's unset.
+- Truthy values are `1` and `true` (case-insensitive); anything else (including unset) is false.
+- The bypass is all-or-nothing: no partial/route-scoped bypass.
+- Follow existing project test conventions: this codebase only unit-tests pure functions (no DB-backed router/handler tests exist anywhere in `src/`) — do not introduce a new DB-mocking pattern; where a change touches a real `PgPool`-holding handler with no pure logic to extract, verify manually instead of adding a test.
+- No commits during this implementation — leave changes in the working tree.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: `Config.disable_auth`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/config.rs` (struct fields ~lines 3-17, `from_env` body ~lines 20-43, `tests` mod ~line 50+)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `Config.disable_auth: bool` — read by Task 2's middleware and Task 3's `/auth/config` handler.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+
+Add to the `tests` mod at the bottom of `src/config.rs`:
+
+```rust
+    #[test]
+    fn test_config_disable_auth_default_false() {
+        std::env::set_var("DATABASE_URL", "postgres://test");
+        std::env::set_var("JWT_SECRET", "secret");
+        std::env::remove_var("DISABLE_AUTH");
+        let cfg = Config::from_env().unwrap();
+        assert!(!cfg.disable_auth);
+    }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_config_disable_auth_true() {
+        std::env::set_var("DATABASE_URL", "postgres://test");
+        std::env::set_var("JWT_SECRET", "secret");
+        std::env::set_var("DISABLE_AUTH", "true");
+        let cfg = Config::from_env().unwrap();
+        assert!(cfg.disable_auth);
+        std::env::remove_var("DISABLE_AUTH");
+    }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_config_disable_auth_numeric_true() {
+        std::env::set_var("DATABASE_URL", "postgres://test");
+        std::env::set_var("JWT_SECRET", "secret");
+        std::env::set_var("DISABLE_AUTH", "1");
+        let cfg = Config::from_env().unwrap();
+        assert!(cfg.disable_auth);
+        std::env::remove_var("DISABLE_AUTH");
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib config::tests`
+Expected: FAIL — `no field \`disable_auth\` on type \`Config\`` (compile error)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the field and parsing**
+
+In `src/config.rs`, add the field to the struct (after `cdn_bucket`):
+
+```rust
+    /// Bucket name used for CDN object storage.
+    pub cdn_bucket: String,
+    /// Dev-only: when true, all auth/permission checks are bypassed and every
+    /// request is treated as a super-admin. NEVER enable in production.
+    pub disable_auth: bool,
+}
+```
+
+And in `from_env()`, add after the `cdn_bucket` line:
+
+```rust
+            cdn_bucket: std::env::var("CDN_BUCKET").unwrap_or_else(|_| "mercury".into()),
+            disable_auth: std::env::var("DISABLE_AUTH")
+                .map(|v| matches!(v.trim().to_lowercase().as_str(), "1" | "true"))
+                .unwrap_or(false),
+        })
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib config::tests`
+Expected: PASS (5 tests: the existing `test_config_defaults` plus the 3 new ones)
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Middleware bypass
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/auth/mod.rs` (add `bypass_claims`, ~after `permissions` mod, before `Claims` struct)
+- Modify: `src/auth/middleware.rs` (add `authenticate_or_bypass`; rewrite `require_auth`, `require_super_admin`, `require_admin_query`, `require_admin_cache`, `blacklist_layer`)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `Config.disable_auth: bool` (Task 1), `AppState { pool, query_cache, blacklist_cache, cors_cache, http_client, cdn_base_url, config }` (`src/state.rs`).
+- Produces: `pub fn bypass_claims() -> Claims` (`src/auth/mod.rs`), `async fn authenticate_or_bypass(state: &AppState, req: &mut Request) -> Option<Claims>` (`src/auth/middleware.rs`, crate-private) — used by all `require_*` functions and `blacklist_layer`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test for `bypass_claims`**
+
+Add to the `tests` mod at the bottom of `src/auth/mod.rs`:
+
+```rust
+    #[test]
+    fn test_bypass_claims_has_full_permissions() {
+        let claims = bypass_claims();
+        assert_eq!(claims.sub, "dev-bypass");
+        assert_eq!(claims.permissions_mask(), u128::MAX);
+        assert!(claims.has_permission(permissions::SUPER_ADMIN));
+        assert!(claims.has_permission(permissions::ADMIN_QUERY));
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib auth::tests::test_bypass_claims_has_full_permissions`
+Expected: FAIL — `cannot find function \`bypass_claims\`` (compile error)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `bypass_claims`**
+
+In `src/auth/mod.rs`, add after the `permissions` mod block (before `Claims` struct):
+
+```rust
+/// Synthetic super-admin claims used when `DISABLE_AUTH` is set. Grants every
+/// permission bit so all `require_*` and blacklist bypass checks pass.
+pub fn bypass_claims() -> Claims {
+    Claims {
+        sub: "dev-bypass".to_string(),
+        permissions: u128::MAX.to_string(),
+        exp: usize::MAX,
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib auth::tests::test_bypass_claims_has_full_permissions`
+Expected: PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Write the failing tests for `authenticate_or_bypass`**
+
+Add a `tests` mod at the bottom of `src/auth/middleware.rs`:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+    use crate::state::{AppState, BlacklistCache, CorsCache, QueryCache};
+    use axum::body::Body;

+    use std::sync::Arc;
+
+    fn test_state(disable_auth: bool) -> AppState {
+        // connect_lazy performs no I/O — safe to use without a running DB.
+        let pool = PgPoolOptions::new()
+            .connect_lazy("postgres://user:pass@localhost/db")
+            .expect("lazy pool");
+        AppState {
+            pool,
+            query_cache: QueryCache::new(),
+            blacklist_cache: BlacklistCache::new(),
+            cors_cache: CorsCache::new(),
+            http_client: reqwest::Client::new(),
+            cdn_base_url: "http://localhost:9000/mercury".into(),

+                disable_auth,
+            }),
+        }
+    }
+
+    fn test_request() -> Request {
+        Request::builder()
+            .uri("/api/orders")
+            .body(Body::empty())
+            .unwrap()
+    }
+
+    #[tokio::test]
+    async fn test_bypass_when_disabled_and_no_token() {
+        let state = test_state(true);

+        assert!(claims.is_none());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib auth::middleware::tests`
+Expected: FAIL — `cannot find function \`authenticate_or_bypass\`` (compile error)
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Implement `authenticate_or_bypass` and rewire the `require_*` functions and `blacklist_layer`**
+
+In `src/auth/middleware.rs`, add this function directly after the existing `authenticate` function:
+
+```rust
+/// Like `authenticate`, but short-circuits to a synthetic super-admin when
+/// `DISABLE_AUTH` is set — no `Authorization` header required in that case.
+async fn authenticate_or_bypass(state: &AppState, req: &mut Request) -> Option<Claims> {
+    if state.config.disable_auth {
+        let claims = crate::auth::bypass_claims();
+        req.extensions_mut().insert(claims.clone());
+        return Some(claims);
+    }
+    let token = extract_bearer(req)?;
+    authenticate(&token, state, req).await
+}
+```
+
+Replace the body of `blacklist_layer`'s `caller_mask` computation:
+
+```rust
+    let caller_mask = if let Some(token) = extract_bearer(&req) {
+        authenticate(&token, &state, &mut req)
+            .await
+            .map(|c| c.permissions_mask())
+            .unwrap_or(0)
+    } else {
+        0
+    };
+```
+
+with:
+
+```rust
+    let caller_mask = authenticate_or_bypass(&state, &mut req)
+        .await
+        .map(|c| c.permissions_mask())
+        .unwrap_or(0);
+```
+
+Replace `require_auth`'s body:
+
+```rust
+pub async fn require_auth(
+    State(state): State<AppState>,
+    mut req: Request,
+    next: Next,
+) -> Result<Response, StatusCode> {
+    let token = extract_bearer(&req).ok_or(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)?;
+    authenticate(&token, &state, &mut req)
+        .await
+        .ok_or(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)?;
+    Ok(next.run(req).await)
+}
+```
+
+with:
+
+```rust
+pub async fn require_auth(
+    State(state): State<AppState>,
+    mut req: Request,
+    next: Next,
+) -> Result<Response, StatusCode> {
+    authenticate_or_bypass(&state, &mut req)
+        .await
+        .ok_or(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)?;
+    Ok(next.run(req).await)
+}
+```
+
+For each of `require_super_admin`, `require_admin_query`, `require_admin_cache`, replace:
+
+```rust
+    let token = extract_bearer(&req).ok_or(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)?;
+    let claims = authenticate(&token, &state, &mut req)
+        .await
+        .ok_or(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)?;
+```
+
+with:
+
+```rust
+    let claims = authenticate_or_bypass(&state, &mut req)
+        .await
+        .ok_or(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED)?;
+```
+
+(leave the rest of each function — the `has_permission` check and `next.run(req).await` — unchanged).
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib auth::`
+Expected: PASS (all `auth::mod` and `auth::middleware` tests, including the 2 new ones)
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Run the full test suite to check for regressions**
+
+Run: `cargo test --lib`
+Expected: PASS — all existing tests (`state::tests`, `routes::crud::tests`, `routes::admin::*::tests`) still pass unchanged.
+

+
+### Task 3: `GET /auth/config` endpoint
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/routes/auth.rs` (add `auth_config` handler)
+- Modify: `src/main.rs` (import + route registration, ~line 25 imports, ~line 149 router)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `Config.disable_auth: bool` (Task 1).
+- Produces: `GET /auth/config` → `200 { "disable_auth": bool }`, unauthenticated — consumed by Task 4's frontend auth store.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Implement the handler**
+
+In `src/routes/auth.rs`, add after `login`:
+
+```rust
+pub async fn auth_config(State(state): State<AppState>) -> Json<Value> {
+    Json(json!({ "disable_auth": state.config.disable_auth }))
+}
+```
+
+(No new imports needed — `State`, `Json`, `json`, `Value`, and `AppState` are already imported in this file.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Wire the route in `src/main.rs`**
+
+Change the import:
+
+```rust
+    routes::{
+        admin::admin_router,
+        auth::login,
+```
+
+to:
+
+```rust
+    routes::{
+        admin::admin_router,
+        auth::{auth_config, login},
+```
+
+Change the router construction:
+
+```rust
+    let app = Router::new()
+        .route("/auth/login", post(login))
+```
+
+to:
+
+```rust
+    let app = Router::new()
+        .route("/auth/login", post(login))
+        .route("/auth/config", get(auth_config))
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify it builds**
+
+Run: `cargo build`
+Expected: builds with no errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Manual verification (no DB-backed router tests exist in this codebase — see Global Constraints)**
+
+Run: `docker compose up --build -d db cdn cdn-init api` (or `./dev.sh` for the full stack), then:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:3000/auth/config
+```
+
+Expected with `DISABLE_AUTH` unset: `{"disable_auth":false}`
+Then set `DISABLE_AUTH=true` in the environment (or `.env`), restart the `api` service, and re-run the curl — expected: `{"disable_auth":true}`. Also verify `curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/orders` (or any CRUD table) now returns `200` with no `Authorization` header, instead of `401`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 4: Frontend — skip login when auth is disabled
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `ui/src/stores/auth.ts` (full content shown below)
+- Modify: `ui/src/router/index.ts` (full content shown below)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `GET /auth/config` (Task 3).
+- Produces: `useAuthStore().checkAuthDisabled(): Promise<void>`, `useAuthStore().authDisabled: Ref<boolean>` — consumed by the router guard.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the auth store**
+
+Replace the full contents of `ui/src/stores/auth.ts` with:
+
+```ts
+import { defineStore } from "pinia";
+import { ref, computed } from "vue";
+
+interface Claims {

+- [ ] **Step 2: Update the router guard**
+
+Replace the full contents of `ui/src/router/index.ts` with:
+
+```ts
+import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router'
+import { useAuthStore } from '../stores/auth'
+
+const router = createRouter({
+  history: createWebHistory(),
+  routes: [
+    { path: '/login', component: () => import('../views/Login.vue') },
+    {
+      path: '/admin',
+      component: () => import('../views/admin/Layout.vue'),
+      children: [
+        { path: 'queries', component: () => import('../views/admin/Queries.vue') },
+        { path: 'tables', component: () => import('../views/admin/Tables.vue') },
+        { path: 'users', component: () => import('../views/admin/Users.vue') },
+        { path: 'permissions', component: () => import('../views/admin/Permissions.vue') },
+        { path: 'blacklist', component: () => import('../views/admin/Blacklist.vue') },
+        { path: 'api-keys', component: () => import('../views/admin/ApiKeys.vue') },
+        { path: 'cache', component: () => import('../views/admin/Cache.vue') },
+        { path: 'cors', component: () => import('../views/admin/Cors.vue') },
+        { path: 'cdn', component: () => import('../views/admin/Cdn.vue') },
+      ],
+      meta: { requiresAuth: true },
+    },
+    { path: '/', redirect: '/admin/queries' },
+  ],
+})
+
+router.beforeEach(async (to) => {
+  const auth = useAuthStore()
+  await auth.checkAuthDisabled()
+  if (to.meta.requiresAuth && !auth.isAuthenticated) {
+    return '/login'
+  }
+  if (to.path === '/login' && auth.isAuthenticated) {
+    return '/admin/queries'
+  }
+})
+
+export default router
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the FE builds**
+
+Run: `cd ui && npm run build`
+Expected: builds with no TypeScript errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Manual browser verification (no FE test framework configured in this project)**
+
+With `DISABLE_AUTH` unset, run `./dev.sh`, open `http://localhost:3000` — expect the normal `/login` redirect.
+With `DISABLE_AUTH=true` set (e.g. `DISABLE_AUTH=true docker compose up --build`), open `http://localhost:3000` — expect immediate landing on `/admin/queries` with no login prompt, and that every admin nav section (Users, Permissions, Blacklist, API Keys, Cache, CORS, CDN) loads data without a 401.
+
+---
+
+### Task 5: Docs and compose plumbing
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `.env.example`
+- Modify: `docker-compose.yml` (`api` service `environment` block, ~line 40)
+- Modify: `README.md` (Configuration table, ~line 146-153)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing (documentation-only).
+- Produces: nothing consumed by other tasks — this is the last task.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update `.env.example`**
+
+Add after `CORS_ORIGINS=`:
+
+```
+# Comma-separated allowed CORS origins, or * for permissive. Empty = no CORS headers.
+CORS_ORIGINS=
+
+# DEV ONLY: set to "true" to bypass all authentication/permission checks
+# (every request is treated as a super-admin, no login required). Never set
+# this in production.
+DISABLE_AUTH=
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `docker-compose.yml`**
+
+In the `api` service `environment` block, add after `CDN_BUCKET: mercury`:
+
+```yaml
+      CDN_BUCKET: mercury
+      DISABLE_AUTH: ${DISABLE_AUTH:-false}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `README.md`**
+
+In the Configuration table, add a row after `CACHE_SWEEP_INTERVAL_SECS`:
+
+```markdown
+| `CACHE_SWEEP_INTERVAL_SECS` | 60 | Sweep interval for eviction task |
+| `DISABLE_AUTH` | `false` | **Dev only.** When `true`, bypasses all authentication/permission checks — every request is treated as a super-admin and the admin UI skips login. Never enable in production. |
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify docs render sanely**
+
+Run: `git diff --stat .env.example docker-compose.yml README.md`
+Expected: shows the 3 files with small additive diffs, no unrelated changes.
+
+---
+
+## Final Verification
+
+- [ ] `cargo test --lib` — all tests pass.
+- [ ] `cargo build` — builds clean.
+- [ ] `cd ui && npm run build` — builds clean.
+- [ ] Manual: `DISABLE_AUTH=true docker compose up --build`, confirm UI skips login and all admin sections load; then unset it and confirm `/login` is required again (existing `admin`/`admin`-style credentials per README, or `MERCURY_ADMIN_USER`/`MERCURY_ADMIN_PASSWORD` from compose).

+# DISABLE_AUTH env var — design
+
+## Purpose
+
+Add a dev-only `DISABLE_AUTH` environment variable that bypasses authentication
+and permission checks end-to-end (API + admin UI), so the app can be driven
+by tooling (e.g. browser automation) without a login step. Insecure by design;
+must default to off and be documented as such.
+
+## Backend
+
+- `Config` (`src/config.rs`) gains `disable_auth: bool`, read from `DISABLE_AUTH`.
+  Truthy values: `1`, `true` (case-insensitive). Default: `false`.
+- `src/auth/middleware.rs` gains `authenticate_or_bypass(state, req)`:
+  - If `state.config.disable_auth`, return a synthetic super-admin `Claims`
+    (`sub: "dev-bypass"`, `permissions: u128::MAX.to_string()`, `exp: usize::MAX`)
+    without inspecting the request at all.
+  - Otherwise, delegate to the existing `extract_bearer` + `authenticate` flow.
+- `require_auth`, `require_super_admin`, `require_admin_query`,
+  `require_admin_cache`, and `blacklist_layer` switch from
+  `extract_bearer(...).ok_or(UNAUTHORIZED)?` + `authenticate(...)` to
+  `authenticate_or_bypass(...)`, so the bypass applies uniformly (including
+  blacklist `bypass_mask` checks, since the caller mask is `u128::MAX`).
+- New route `GET /auth/config` (`src/routes/auth.rs`), unauthenticated,
+  returns `{"disable_auth": bool}` so the frontend can detect the mode.
+
+## Frontend
+
+- `ui/src/stores/auth.ts`: on first access, fetch `GET /auth/config`. If
+  `disable_auth` is `true`, set an `authDisabled` ref and short-circuit
+  `isAuthenticated` / `isSuperAdmin` / `hasPermission` to always report a
+  fully-privileged, logged-in user — no token needed.
+- `ui/src/router/index.ts`: `beforeEach` awaits the auth store's boot check
+  (memoized, runs once) before evaluating `requiresAuth`, so `/admin/*`
+  routes never redirect to `/login` while the flag is set.
+- No changes to `Login.vue` itself; it simply becomes unreachable in this mode
+  (redirect away from `/login` when already "authenticated").
+
+## Docs / plumbing
+
+- `.env.example`: add `DISABLE_AUTH=` (commented, default off) with a warning.
+- `docker-compose.yml`: add `DISABLE_AUTH: ${DISABLE_AUTH:-false}` under the
+  `api` service environment.
+- `README.md`: add `DISABLE_AUTH` to the Configuration table, marked
+  dev-only / insecure — do not use in production.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- No change to `/auth/login` behavior when the flag is off.
+- No new permission bits or config for partial bypass (all-or-nothing).
+- No changes to how the FE issues investigation (separate task, done live
+  with agent-browser after this lands).
