That route clears both `md_session` and `md_features` in a single response. The saga also directly broadcasts `defaultUserFeatureFlags` on `FEATURE_FLAGS_CHANNEL` so every open tab resets immediately. `UserFeatureFlagProvider` additionally resets to defaults on its own whenever `isAuthenticated` transitions to `false`, as a second line of defense. + +### On page load (SSR) + +`layout.tsx` calls `getServerFlags()` in its `Promise.all` alongside `getRemoteConfigValues()`. The result is passed as `initialFlags` to ``, which forwards it to ``.

Consumers never interact with the array format. + +--- + +## Why the cookie is written from an API route, read from a Server Action + +### The alternatives considered + +**Option A — Store in Redux** + +Redux state is managed by `redux-persist`, which serialises it to `localStorage`. This creates two problems: + +1. **Cross-session leakage**: User A's flags persist in `localStorage` after logout. When User B logs in on the same device, they briefly see User A's flags until the login saga overwrites them. +2. **PersistGate dependency**: Every component reading flags would need to be inside a `PersistGate` (or handle the rehydration window), spreading boilerplate. +3. **Source-of-truth drift**: Redux and a potential server-side store would need to stay in sync, creating a class of bug that's hard to reproduce. + +**Option B — Store only in React context (client-fetched)** + +A context provider could call `GET /v1/user` directly when auth resolves. This avoids Redux but: + +1. The login saga already calls `GET /v1/user` — a second call from the provider doubles the network requests. +2. The provider has no access to the result of the saga's fetch, so it can't reuse it. +3. Server Components still can't read React context — server-side access would require a separate mechanism anyway. + +### Why the cookie + broadcast approach wins + +The `httpOnly` cookie is the **single source of truth on the server**; the `BroadcastChannel` push keeps every open tab's React state in sync with it without ever reading it back from the client: + +| Concern | Cookie + broadcast | +|---|---| +| Cross-session leakage | None — cookie is cleared on logout and is not in `localStorage` | +| PersistGate | Not needed — provider holds ephemeral React state, not persisted state | +| Source-of-truth drift | None on the server — there is only one cookie. The client mirrors it via the broadcast payload rather than re-reading it | +| Server Components | `getServerFlags()` reads the cookie directly, no extra fetch | +| Double network calls | None — the saga's single `GET /v1/user` result is reused for both the cookie write and the client broadcast; the hourly renewal call is the only extra network touch | +| Flash on initial render | None — `layout.tsx` reads the cookie server-side and passes `initialFlags` | +| Multi-tab consistency | `FEATURE_FLAGS_CHANNEL` (`broadcastExtendedMessage`) pushes the resolved flags to every tab, including the sender, immediately — no reload required | + +### Known limitation: `POST /api/feature-flags` does not verify the caller + +Unlike `POST /api/session`, which verifies a Firebase ID token via `getAuth(app).verifyIdToken(idToken)` before issuing a cookie, `POST /api/feature-flags` accepts the `FeatureFlag[]` body as-is and signs whatever it's given. This is called out in a comment on the route itself. The accepted tradeoff is that today's flags (`isNotificationsEnabled`, `isSealOfReliabilityFilterEnabled`) are UI-only conveniences, so a client setting its own values client-side has no real security impact — actual access is enforced independently wherever it matters. + +This does **not** extend automatically to future flags. Before adding a flag that gates real access (a paywalled feature, an admin capability, etc.), this route needs the same idToken-verification treatment as `/api/session`: accept a Firebase ID token in the request, verify it server-side, and resolve the flags from the user service directly rather than trusting the client-supplied array.
