fix(middleware): public pages and lead capture were behind the login wall - #256
Conversation
…wall isPublicRoute is an allowlist, and seven routes were never added to it. They render correctly in development, where you are signed in, and 307 every anonymous visitor and crawler to /auth/login. Verified against production before the fix — /terms, /privacy, /cookies, /blog, /learn, /marketplace and /contact returned 200 while all of the following returned 307: /documents and every guide beneath it 18 pages, 16 videos (#246/#249/#251) /faq /dpa, /aup, /regulatory POST /api/platform/leads Two of those carry real cost. The /documents guide hub is the largest piece of marketing content the platform has and has never been reachable logged-out or indexable by any crawler. And platform lead capture has recorded nothing since #254 deployed — every homepage CTA and Operator 101 submission hit the auth wall, so Phase 1 has not worked in production at any point. The leads endpoint is unauthenticated by design: a prospect has no account and no tenant, which is why it is not the storefront newsletter route. Consent, honeypot and IP rate-limiting are enforced inside it. Adds a CI guard so there is no fifth occurrence. It enumerates every top-level app/*/page.tsx and every path the platform sitemap advertises, and fails the build unless each is allowlisted or explicitly named private with a reason. A source check rather than an HTTP probe: CI never starts the app, so there is no origin to curl. Also lands tasks/prd-platform-content-and-seo.md, which this is US-000 of. Not fixed here: the Clerk redirect leaks the container's internal origin (redirect_url=https://0.0.0.0:8080/dpa), so an authenticating user lands on an unreachable URL. Config, not middleware.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change allowlists additional public routes, adds a route-tree and sitemap validation script, runs that check in CI, and documents planned platform content, publishing, typography, and SEO work. ChangesPublic Route and Platform Content
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The middleware now exposes the intended public pages and lead-capture endpoint, but the new CI protection does not yet validate nested public pages or the unauthenticated leads route. A future route or allowlist change could therefore reintroduce login redirects without a build failure, so merge should wait for that guard coverage or explicit owner acceptance. Possibly related PRs

In `@nextjs_space/scripts/ci/check-public-routes-allowlisted.mjs`:
- Around line 87-95: Update the route discovery logic around the segments
collection to recursively walk the App Router tree, converting nested and
dynamic page.tsx files into their corresponding route paths while preserving
exclusions for route groups and private folders. Also discover public route.ts
handlers, including nested API handlers such as the leads endpoint, and include
them in the allowlist validation so removing either page or handler patterns is
detected.
Apply the same fix in `@tasks/prd-platform-content-and-seo.md` around lines 66 -
72.
In `@tasks/prd-platform-content-and-seo.md`:
- Around line 196-205: Update US-009 so published posts cannot change slugs
until the redirect support from US-020 is available; either require US-020
before US-009 or explicitly block and preserve the existing published slug in
the editor flow. Remove the current behavior that only warns about the broken
URL.
- Around line 196-205: Define POST /api/platform/upload with withSuperAdmin
authentication, server-side validateUploadBuffer checks including image
dimension limits, and opaque platform-scoped object keys that do not use the
original filename. Return safe response headers and a durable platform image URL
compatible with /api/public/images/[...key], rather than an expiring presigned
URL or an unservable tenantless uploadFile key.
- Around line 259-279: Clarify the metadata ownership for every public marketing
route in the US-014/US-015 acceptance criteria, including /documents, /faq,
/regulatory, and legal routes. Specify for each omitted route whether metadata
comes from platform_seo_settings, post metadata, or a fixed fallback, and align
the “each marketing page” and “every marketing route” wording so SEO coverage is
testable.
- Around line 208-216: Update the /blog page query flow so database failures are
distinguished from successful zero-row results: preserve the empty state only
when the published-post query succeeds with no rows, and return a controlled
failure or cached snapshot when it errors. Log the database error and trigger
the existing alerting path, using the page component and its database query
symbols to locate the change.
- Around line 220-229: Update the US-011 metadata requirements so every
published post has an og:image: either enforce coverImage during publishing, or
fall back to the US-014 platform default when coverImage is absent. Explicitly
define the fallback behavior for all eight migrated posts and ensure the
generateMetadata flow uses it.
- Around line 220-229: Reconcile the unpublished-post behavior across US-011 and
US-021 so legacy post URLs do not return 404s: preserve each existing URL with
an archive page or redirect to an approved replacement, or prevent those posts
from being marked unpublished until that handling exists. Update the acceptance
criteria and related sections consistently, including the references to
current-URL guarantees and zero-404 validation.
- Around line 168-181: Update the US-012 SQL import fixture to pass all eight
content values through the shared sanitizer before generating insert statements,
while retaining read-time sanitization as defense in depth. Add coverage for
script tags, event handlers, and unsafe URLs.

| #### US-007: Platform posts write API | ||
| **Description:** As a super-admin, I need endpoints to create, edit, publish and delete platform posts. | ||
|
|
||
| **Acceptance Criteria:** | ||
| - [ ] `POST`/`GET` at `app/api/platform/posts/route.ts`; `GET`/`PATCH`/`DELETE` at `app/api/platform/posts/[id]/route.ts` | ||
| - [ ] Every route is super-admin only and returns 403 to a tenant admin, using **`withSuperAdmin` / `withSuperAdminParams` from `lib/api-auth.ts:150`** | ||
| - [ ] ⚠️ **Do NOT model these on `app/api/platform/leads`.** It is the only existing route under `app/api/platform/` and it is deliberately **unauthenticated** — its own header reads "Unauthenticated and platform-level — there is no tenant here by design", because a prospect filling in the homepage CTA has no account. Copying its shape would ship an unauthenticated write API for platform blog content. These will be the first `/api/platform/*` routes to use `withSuperAdmin` | ||
| - [ ] Zod validation on all input | ||
| - [ ] `content` sanitised on write. The tenant Wire's `cleanContent` is a **local `const` inside the page component** (`app/store/[slug]/the-wire/[postSlug]/page.tsx:164`), not an importable helper — **extract it to `lib/` first and call it from both** the Wire page and these routes, so the two paths cannot drift | ||
| - [ ] Slug validated against **`POST_SLUG_PATTERN`** and `POST_SLUG_MAX_LENGTH` (`lib/seo/post-slug.ts`). Note the tenant routes do **not** enforce the pattern server-side — they apply `normalizePostSlug` and a max length only, leaving the regex to the client form and tests. **Enforce the regex server-side here**, and treat the tenant-side gap as known debt rather than the example to follow | ||
| - [ ] Duplicate slug returns a 409 with a usable message, not a Prisma error | ||
| - [ ] Setting `published: true` stamps `publishedAt` once and does not overwrite it on later edits | ||
| - [ ] Row types declared explicitly on every query — the any-widened Prisma client throws TS7006 on implicit-`any` map callbacks | ||
| - [ ] Typecheck/lint passes |

Distinguish an empty blog from a database outage.
If the query fails, the required empty state can return a successful page with no posts and hide an outage from users, crawlers, and monitoring.
Return a controlled failure or cached snapshot. Log and alert the database error. Reserve the empty state for a successful zero-row query.

Automated review of #256 found the guard itself was too narrow: it discovered only top-level app/<segment>/page.tsx, so nested and dynamic pages (app/documents/[slug]/page.tsx — 18 guide pages) were invisible to it, and it never checked the leads route.ts at all. A later deletion of "/documents/(.*)" or "/api/platform/leads" from the allowlist would have passed CI. Rewriting it to walk the App Router recursively immediately turned up five more broken routes, and one is worse than anything in the original commit: /auth/forgot-password account recovery — a user who has forgotten /auth/reset-password/<t> their password is redirected to the login they /auth/callback cannot complete. Locked out, not just hidden. /legal/changelog public compliance pages; /legal/subprocessors is /legal/subprocessors a GDPR transparency obligation linked from the DPA All five confirmed 307 against production, same as the original seven. The guard now walks the tree recursively — route groups collapse, an optional catch-all [[...rest]] yields its parent (which is the only reason /auth/login resolves, since there is no app/auth/login/page.tsx), and other dynamic segments become a probe value so the matcher test means something. Public API handlers are a declared manifest rather than discovered, because a route.ts gives no signal about whether it expects a session. Verified against the fixed tree: 104 routes discovered, zero unmatched. Every round of this bug was found by widening the search, never by looking harder at the routes already suspected. That is what the guard automates. Also folds the review's remaining findings into their PRD stories: block slug edits on published posts until auto-301 exists rather than warning and allowing; distinguish an empty blog from a database outage; fall back to the platform OG image when a post has no cover; and give every newly-public route a metadata owner rather than the five originally listed.
Brings in US-000 (#256). Both branches add a CI guard, so ci.yml and package.json each gain one entry from either side — kept both. # Conflicts: # .github/workflows/ci.yml # nextjs_space/package.json
