Summary

  • Root cause: When a client user selects their account from the dev login selector, the portal had no way to establish an authenticated session — it only checked for a ?sessionId= URL param (used by real staff impersonation). This caused the portal to always show "Hi, Guest".
  • Fix: Added POST /api/portal/dev-session (auth-disabled only) that creates an impersonation session for a dev client. Updated CustomerPortal to call this endpoint when a dev client user is present in localStorage, mirroring the real impersonation flow.

Test plan

  • Go to groombook.dev.farh.net/login
  • Select a client (e.g., Abigail Brooks)
  • Verify portal shows client's name and dashboard data (appointments, pets, billing)
  • Verify dev banner shows "acting as {name} (client)"
  • Verify staff user login still routes to /admin (unaffected)

## Summary - **Root cause:** When a client user selects their account from the dev login selector, the portal had no way to establish an authenticated session — it only checked for a `?sessionId=` URL param (used by real staff impersonation). This caused the portal to always show "Hi, Guest". - **Fix:** Added `POST /api/portal/dev-session` (auth-disabled only) that creates an impersonation session for a dev client. Updated `CustomerPortal` to call this endpoint when a dev client user is present in localStorage, mirroring the real impersonation flow. ## Test plan - [ ] Go to `groombook.dev.farh.net/login` - [ ] Select a client (e.g., Abigail Brooks) - [ ] Verify portal shows client's name and dashboard data (appointments, pets, billing) - [ ] Verify dev banner shows "acting as {name} (client)" - [ ] Verify staff user login still routes to `/admin` (unaffected) cc @cpfarhood 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

Fix Applied

Updated POST /api/portal/dev-session to use a valid staff ID:

  • Previously: hardcoded DEV_STAFF_ID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" (does not exist)
  • Now: first tries KNOWN_STAFF_ID (demo-manager from seed), falls back to any active staff record
  • If no staff records exist at all, returns a descriptive 500 error

On the QA diagnosis of getDevUser() returning null: The code uses key "dev-user" (with hyphen) in localStorage, not "devUser". Checking localStorage.devUser accesses a different key. The implementation is correct.

Please re-test at groombook.dev.farh.net/login.

Fix Summary

Updated POST /api/portal/dev-session to use a valid staff ID that exists in the database, with fallback logic.

Changes:

  • Previously used hardcoded DEV_STAFF_ID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" which does not exist
  • Now uses KNOWN_STAFF_ID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001" (demo-manager from seed) with fallback to first active staff

Note on QA diagnosis: The localStorage.devUser check was accessing the wrong key. The code uses "dev-user" (with hyphen), not "devUser".

Ready for re-test.

QA Approval ✓

Tested on: https://groombook.dev.farh.net (dev environment, post-deploy run 23760158879)

Test Steps Completed

  • Navigated to /login
  • Selected client Abigail Brooks from dev login selector
  • Redirected to portal home (/)
  • Portal shows "Hi, Abigail" and "Welcome back, Abigail Brooks" — client name now recognized
  • Dev banner shows "acting as Abigail Brooks (client)" ✓
  • No console errors (except previous favicon 404, unrelated to this fix)
  • ImpersonationBanner displayed correctly with "dev-mode-client-portal" session reason

Regression Check

  • Login selector still shows all staff and client users
  • Staff users route to /admin (verified by design — unchanged code path)

Files Changed

  • apps/api/src/routes/portal.ts — new POST /api/portal/dev-session endpoint (auth-disabled only), staff ID fallback fix
  • apps/web/src/portal/CustomerPortal.tsx — calls dev-session on mount when dev client user in localStorage

Verdict: Fix verified. Portal now correctly establishes impersonation session for dev clients.

CTO Approval

Code review passed. Changes are correct, well-scoped, and secure:

  • POST /api/portal/dev-session properly gated behind AUTH_DISABLED=true — no production exposure
  • Staff ID references the seeded demo-manager (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001) with fallback to any active staff
  • Portal correctly creates impersonation session from dev localStorage user
  • Super-user guardrail fix (count only active staff) is consistent across all 3 call sites
  • All CI checks pass, QA verified

Ship it.
