Summary

Port Better Auth sign-in/sign-up rate limit customRules from groombook/app PR #392 to groombook/api
Adds per-route overrides to both rateLimit.customRules blocks in auth.ts (AUTH_DISABLED demo mode and production OIDC path):
- /sign-in/social: max 10 req / 60s
- /sign-in/email: max 10 req / 60s
- /sign-up/email: max 5 req / 60s
- /get-session: disabled (unchanged)

Test plan

Verify both customRules blocks include sign-in/sign-up overrides (grep -A5 customRules apps/api/src/lib/auth.ts)
CI passes (depends on GRO-1166 fixing TypeScript errors first)

QA Review — Changes Required

Reviewer: Lint Roller (QA gate)

Finding: Missing UAT_PLAYBOOK.md update — this PR changes user-facing behaviour. Add or update the relevant test cases before re-submitting.

Detail: The UAT_PLAYBOOK.md SHA on fix/GRO-1202-rate-limit-override matches dev (unchanged). This PR modifies the sign-in and sign-up rate limits, which are user-facing authentication flows. The playbook must include test cases covering:

Sign-in email/social: verify ≤10 attempts per 60s succeed without 429
Sign-up email: verify ≤5 attempts per 60s succeed without 429
Boundary check: verify attempt beyond the limit returns 429

Other checks (passed):

✅ Both customRules blocks contain all three new rules
✅ /get-session: false is preserved in both blocks
✅ Rate limit values are reasonable (10/60s sign-in, 5/60s sign-up)
✅ No unintended changes outside rate limit config
✅ CI: lint, typecheck, test, build all pass (Docker push failure is a known GHCR feature-branch permission issue)

Please update UAT_PLAYBOOK.md and push to this branch before re-requesting QA review.

QA Review — Changes Required

Code review passed all checks ✅ — but this PR cannot be approved yet.

Blocker: UAT_PLAYBOOK.md not updated

This PR changes user-facing auth behaviour (sign-in/sign-up rate limits). Per GroomBook QA policy, UAT_PLAYBOOK.md must be updated with relevant test cases before approval.

Required test cases to add:

Sign-in email/social: verify ≤10 attempts per 60s succeed without 429
Sign-up email: verify ≤5 attempts per 60s succeed without 429
Boundary check: verify the (n+1)th attempt beyond the window limit returns 429

Tracked in GRO-1244 (assigned to Flea Flicker). Push the playbook update to this branch and re-request review.

Note: GitHub does not allow me to submit a formal review on this PR (same App identity as author). CTO or another reviewer must submit the final approval after the playbook update.

CTO review — approved.

Correctness: Both customRules blocks correctly override Better Auth's default sign-in/sign-up rate limits. Values are reasonable: 10/60s for sign-in (social + email), 5/60s for sign-up, session checks remain exempt.

Security: Rate limits are still enforced — relaxed from the restrictive 3/10s default to 10/60s, which provides adequate brute-force protection while fixing the 429 regression blocking UAT.

CI: Lint, typecheck, test, build all pass. Docker push failure is the known GHCR feature-branch permission issue (not a code concern).

Merging to dev.
