No description provided.

A class with no framework dependency that runs one Protect challenge against a sign-in or sign-up resource. It executes the challenge script into a container, submits the proof token, reloads on protect_check_already_resolved, and reloads an expired challenge under a capped budget. Aborting the signal rejects with protect_check_aborted, and a proof that arrives after the abort is never submitted.
…kRunner

The hook keeps the React bindings only. The token-keyed effect, spinner and error state, the flushSync widget visibility handshake, the no-RHC fail-closed guard, and the onResolved continuation stay here. The challenge lifecycle now comes from ProtectCheckRunner in @clerk/shared, loaded lazily behind the same compile-time flag so no-RHC bundles still tree-shake the remote import.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared Protect challenge runner and uses it in the UI challenge flow. It adds a Protect check modal for custom sign-in and sign-up flows. Clerk now tracks registered prebuilt handlers and gates sign-in and sign-up resource operations on pending Protect checks. The UI exposes the modal and registers prebuilt handlers while sign-in or sign-up components are mounted.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Suggested reviewers: nikosdouvlis, zourzouvillys

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5c565

Some custom sign-in or sign-up calls may return before verification completes, and a pending challenge can leave a call waiting indefinitely. Resolve these gating paths before merging.

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (90%): The change adds a new 'protectCheck' variant to the openModal and closeModal union discriminators; existing callers that pass any of the previously valid modal strings are unaffected, as their code still type-checks correctly against the widened union.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Concurrent gated calls return while the check is still pending.

When inflight is set, resolve returns immediately. The modal's own reload and submitProtectCheck calls need this behavior. An unrelated app call also passes through this branch, for example a second signIn.reload() from a custom flow. That call returns a resource that still has a protectCheck, which breaks the documented contract that the original call returns only after the gate clears.

Consider this change: make the modal's own requests skip the gate explicitly, and make other callers await this.inflight.

Scope Protect Check handler registration by flow.

When a custom SignUp operation returns a pending protectCheck while <SignIn /> is mounted, the global handler flag makes ProtectCheckGate.resolve return before opening the modal. The prebuilt SignIn runner handles signIn, not the pending signUp resource. The custom flow can therefore continue with an unresolved check and stall.

Track handlers per flow. Preserve the SignUp registration for SignIn’s combined flow, and release registrations when components unmount.

ProtectCheckGate.resolve to check handler registration for params.flow rather
than using a global handler flag. Track and release Protect Check handlers
separately for signIn and signUp, registering both flows for combined SignIn and
signIn only otherwise; register signUp in SignUp and clean up registrations on
unmount.

Handle an unchanged pending challenge after submission.

If submitProtectCheck returns a resource whose protectCheck is still pending with the same token, do not return silently. useProtectCheckRunner reruns only when the token changes, so the modal remains open without an error and ProtectCheckGate continues waiting for onResolved. Rerun the returned challenge or show a retryable error for this case.

Update the onResolved callback to handle a submitted resource whose protectCheck
remains pending with the same token: explicitly rerun that returned challenge or
show a retryable error instead of silently leaving the modal open. Preserve the
existing resolution behavior for completed challenges and cancellation.

…tion

Adds __internal_ProtectCheckModalProps for the modal clerk-js opens on a pending protect_check, and an optional __internal_registerProtectCheckHandler on the Clerk interface so a prebuilt component can claim the gate.
SignIn and SignUp hand every fetched resource to ProtectCheckGate. When the resource carries a pending protect_check and no prebuilt component has registered as the handler, the gate opens the Protect modal through the UI bundle and waits until the modal reports the gate cleared, so the original call returns with the challenge already resolved. Requests made while a resolution is in flight, including the modal's own reload and submit, pass through untouched. Without a UI bundle, or in no-RHC builds, the gate leaves the resource as is.
A modal over the page with a blurred backdrop that runs the same challenge card as the prebuilt cards and reports back when the gate clears. The prebuilt SignIn and SignUp routes register themselves as the handler while mounted so clerk-js leaves their gates to the in-card flow.
…nIn and SignUp

Base calls a no-op _afterMutate after fromJSON, and SignIn and SignUp override it to hand themselves to ProtectCheckGate. Base no longer knows about Protect, the gate takes the two concrete resource types instead of narrowing any resource with an 'in' check, and the overrides read SignIn.clerk and SignUp.clerk like the rest of those files. Reloads no longer run the gate, since gates arrive on mutations and the modal's own reload and email link polling are GETs.
…he Protect modal

clerk-js hot-loads ahead of a bundled @clerk/ui, so a newer clerk-js could open a modal an older UI does not know, and the call would wait forever. The UI now advertises the modal through an optional openProtectCheckModal control, and clerk-js opens it only when that control exists. Otherwise the call returns with the gate on the resource, as it does today without a UI bundle.
A blocked verdict used to leave the unclosable modal on screen and the original call pending forever, with fetchStatus stuck on fetching. The modal now hands the blocked response error to a new onFailed callback, clerk-js closes the modal and rejects, and the custom flow receives the error like any other failure. The in-modal blocked card is gone, since a custom flow renders its own error UI.
…lback

After an OAuth redirect the gate comes with the hydrated client, not on a request, so the mutation hook never sees it and HandleSSOCallback stopped with no route matching needs_protect_check. Clerk gains __internal_resolvePendingProtectCheck, which runs the gate on the client's sign-in and sign-up, and HandleSSOCallback calls it before routing. A blocked attempt navigates to sign-in.
…component renders

One counter meant a mounted <SignUp /> also silenced the modal for an unrelated custom sign-in on the same page. Handlers now register the flows they render. <SignUp /> registers sign-up, <SignIn /> registers sign-in and also sign-up in the combined flow, and the gate asks about the resource's own flow.
…rrent calls through

A second gated call during an open modal used to return early with its gate still set. The gate now skips only the proof submission, which belongs to whatever runs the challenge, so the modal's own requests never re-enter it and the in-flight bypass is gone. A call on the same resource shares the in-flight resolution, including a rejection, and a call on another resource waits, then resolves its own gate.
…d the modal

SignInProtectCheck, SignUpProtectCheck, and ProtectCheckModal each carried the same card markup, differing only in the sign-in or sign-up localization keys. ProtectCheckCard in common/ now renders it from the runner's state and the flow. Each caller keeps only what is its own: the runner call and its continuation, plus the blocked card and stale-visit guard in the prebuilt cards.
…e modal's own failure branch

The gate's 'opens again for a later gate' case is already implied by the test where a call on another resource waits, which cannot finish unless the in-flight lock clears. The modal's render test repeated what the shared ProtectCheckCard and the prebuilt card tests cover. The modal's retry test now checks what the modal decides: a submit failure other than a block keeps the modal open and calls neither onFailed nor onResolved.
…he gate themselves

The per-flow handler count moves from Clerk into ProtectCheckGate, so __internal_hasProtectCheckHandler goes away and __internal_registerProtectCheckHandler delegates to the gate. Code that already routes a gated resource to the prebuilt card now claims the gate while it runs: the redirect callback path, which covers handleRedirectCallback, the One Tap callback, and the resume after the card clears, and the Google One Tap component, whose create runs before that callback. Prebuilt apps keep the redirect to #/protect-check instead of getting the modal.
