The goal of this pr is to have a credential that Updatecli can hold that does not expire, for CI and
laptops alike, with Zitadel as the identity backend.

Zitadel cannot issue one from an interactive login — access-token lifetime is a
project setting, default 12h. So the durable credential has to be one Udash
issues and validates itself. Once that is true, Updatecli only ever needs to
carry a bearer token, and its OAuth client stops earning its keep.

pkg/core/udash/ was written against Auth0 and could not have worked against Zitadel:

Old behaviour Why it fails on Zitadel
{issuer}/authorize, {issuer}/oauth/token Zitadel uses /oauth/v2/authorize and /oauth/v2/token
?audience=<api> on the authorize request Zitadel has no audience parameter; audience comes from the scope urn:zitadel:iam:org:project:id:{id}:aud
scope=offline_access on the token request It belongs on the authorize request, so no refresh token was ever issued
getAccessToken read only access_token refresh_token and expires_in were thrown away
no state parameter no CSRF protection on the loopback callback

After this change Updatecli never contacts an identity provider.

What changed

Deleted

File Contents
pkg/core/udash/main.go authorizeUser, cleanup, getAvailablePort, var Audience — the whole PKCE flow
pkg/core/udash/oauthInfo.go getOauthInfo, the GET {front}/config.json discovery
pkg/core/udash/token.go getAccessToken only; the config accessors stayed
go.mod github.com/nirasan/go-oauth-pkce-code-verifier

github.com/skratchdot/open-golang/open stayed — still used to open the tokens
page. golang.org/x/term was promoted from indirect to direct.

pkg/core/udash/login.go — rewritten

func Login(udashEndpoint, udashAPIEndpoint, token string) error

Three ways to supply the token:

updatecli udash login <url> --token udash_pat_xxx   # non-interactive
echo $TOKEN | updatecli udash login <url>           # piped, for scripts
updatecli udash login <url>                         # opens /profile/tokens, prompts with echo off

Before storing anything it calls GET {api}/whoami, so a typo'd or revoked token
fails at login, not silently three weeks later when a pipeline tries to
publish.

It also probes whether the service authenticates at all: /whoami only exists
when a mode is configured, so a 404 means the instance is open and no token is
asked for. Without that, the default auth-disabled deployment could not be
registered — this was caught by a test after the first implementation.

pkg/core/udash/whoami.go — new

callWhoami / requiresToken / whoami. An older Udash with no /whoami
endpoint is accepted rather than refused, since the rest of its API may work fine.

Bug fixes carried along

  • config_spec.go — writeConfigFile used os.Create, landing the file at
    0644. World-readable, for a file holding a bearer token that now never
    expires. It is 0600.
  • logout.go — when the last credential was removed the function returned
    before writeConfigFile, so logging out of your only configured service never
    persisted. The write moved above the early return.

CLI surface

Flag Change
--token new — the Udash API token
--oauth-access-token removed, replaced by --token
--oauth-clientId, --oauth-issuer, --oauth-audience removed
--api-url, --reportAPI unchanged

No deprecation aliases as the feature is gated behind --experimental.

udash.Audience → udash.APIURLSelector. It was never an OAuth audience — it is
the selector for which stored credential to use, set by --reportAPI. The six
identical --reportAPI registrations across apply/diff/compose/pipeline moved
into addReportAPIFlag, matching the existing addXFlag helpers in cmd/flags.go.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now selects Udash credentials by API URL. Udash login uses bearer tokens, validates them through /whoami, and persists credentials. OAuth PKCE code and dependencies were removed. Configuration permissions and logout persistence were updated and tested.

Changes

Udash authentication and reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI report API wiring
cmd/flags.go, cmd/apply.go, cmd/compose_*.go, cmd/diff.go, cmd/pipeline_*.go, cmd/root.go, cmd/udash_login.go
Commands share addReportAPIFlag, pass the selected API URL through udash.APIURLSelector, and accept a single --token login flag.
Bearer-token login flow
pkg/core/udash/login.go, pkg/core/udash/whoami.go, pkg/core/udash/main.go, pkg/core/udash/oauthInfo.go, pkg/core/udash/token.go, pkg/core/udash/login_test.go, go.mod
Login reads or prompts for a token, validates it through /whoami, supports services without that endpoint, and persists successful credentials. OAuth PKCE implementation and dependency declarations were removed.
Credential selection and logout persistence
pkg/core/udash/config_spec.go, pkg/core/udash/config_spec_test.go, pkg/core/udash/logout.go, pkg/core/udash/logout_test.go, pkg/core/udash/token.go
Configuration lookup uses API URLs, token files use mode 0600, and logout persists removal of the final credential while updating remaining defaults.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fe60b

Token login can expose durable API credentials when an HTTP Udash API URL is configured, potentially allowing interception and account access. This should be addressed before merge.

- Line 74: Update writeConfigFile to call f.Chmod(0600) after opening an
existing udash.json, ensuring files with broader permissions are tightened
before or during truncation. Add a regression test covering an existing 0644
credential file and verify its resulting mode is 0600.

In `@pkg/core/udash/config_spec.go`:
- Line 65: After opening the credential file in the config setup flow, call
Chmod with mode 0600 before writing the durable token so existing files receive
the required permissions; handle any Chmod error consistently with the
surrounding OpenFile and write-error handling.

In `@pkg/core/udash/login.go`:
- Line 49: Update the endpoint handling around setDefaultHTTPSScheme to reject
explicit http:// udashAPIEndpoint values before whoami performs token validation
or sends the bearer token; continue allowing secure HTTPS endpoints and preserve
existing normalization for non-explicit-scheme URLs.
