Fixes LOBE-7494

🔀 Description of Change

validateOIDCJWT wraps any JWT verification failure (including JWTExpired from jose) into a TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED' }). The webapi auth middleware's catch block only matched e.code === 'ERR_JWT_EXPIRED' — which is swallowed by that wrap — and fell through to InternalServerError, returning 500 instead of 401.

Because the response lacked the X-Auth-Required header that BackendProxyProtocolManager uses to trigger notifyAuthorizationRequired, desktop/CLI clients with expired tokens never prompted re-login and retried indefinitely, producing sustained 500 bursts (~40 req/s on /webapi/chat/lobehub).

Changes

  • Add isUnauthorizedAuthError branch mapping UNAUTHORIZEDChatErrorType.Unauthorized (401) with the X-Auth-Required header.
  • Add getOIDCClientDebugInfo to decode the JWT payload for observability only (explicitly NOT used for authorization decisions).
  • Add opt-in console.info('[auth] OIDC authentication failed', ...) logging, gated on Oidc-Auth presence to avoid flooding from unauthenticated browser hits. Logged fields: clientId, code, path, provider, userAgent, xClientType — intended to identify which client version is sending expired tokens.

Sibling callers verified clean

Other callers of validateOIDCJWT already handle the failure by swallowing and falling back to Better Auth / API Key, so no parallel fix is needed:

  • src/libs/trpc/lambda/context.ts:198
  • packages/openapi/src/middleware/auth.ts:183

🧪 How to Test

  • Tested locally
  • Added/updated tests
  • No tests needed

Unit test added: should return unauthorized when OIDC JWT validation throws UNAUTHORIZED. All 6 existing tests pass.

bunx vitest run --silent='passed-only' 'src/app/(backend)/middleware/auth/index.test.ts'

📝 Additional Information

Root cause (jose ERR_JWT_EXPIRED being rewrapped with the original code lost) predates this PR; a follow-up can restore the original error via cause in src/libs/oidc-provider/jwt.ts and simplify the middleware. Deferred to keep this change surgical and hotfix-friendly.

See LOBE-7494 for the full incident timeline, including the net.fetch (#13400) trigger hypothesis.

P2 Badge Restrict UNAUTHORIZED mapping to token-validation errors

The new isUnauthorizedAuthError branch converts every thrown object with code === 'UNAUTHORIZED' into ChatErrorType.Unauthorized (401 + X-Auth-Required), but validateOIDCJWT currently wraps non-auth infrastructure failures (for example JWKS parse/key-loading errors) into TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED' }) as well. In those cases this change misclassifies a server outage as a client auth problem, causing desktop/CLI to prompt/retry login instead of surfacing an internal error; this branch should only map to 401 when the underlying cause is truly token/auth related.

Follow-up to the OIDC 401 mapping (PR #14014) after review feedback:

- `validateOIDCJWT` now lets `getVerificationKey` failures (missing/invalid
  JWKS_KEY, key import errors) propagate as plain Error so they map to 500
  instead of being misclassified as client-side 401. JWT verification
  failures still wrap into TRPCError UNAUTHORIZED, now with the original
  jose error preserved via `cause`.
- `checkAuth` walks the `cause` chain to recover `ERR_JWT_EXPIRED`, so
  clock-skew cases return SystemTimeNotMatchError instead of a generic
  Unauthorized that would trigger a re-login loop.
- Regression tests cover both new paths.
Comment thread src/app/(backend)/middleware/auth/index.test.ts Fixed
Comment thread src/app/(backend)/middleware/auth/index.test.ts Fixed
The follow-up branch mapped ERR_JWT_EXPIRED to SystemTimeNotMatchError
(HTTP 400, no X-Auth-Required header), but the desktop/CLI re-auth
flow only fires on Unauthorized (401 + X-Auth-Required). Routing
expired tokens to SystemTimeNotMatchError would leave the client
without a re-login signal — the exact regression PR #14014 was fixing
— and "exp claim failed" is not sufficient evidence of a client
clock skew anyway (a genuinely expired token raises the same code).

All OIDC token failures now uniformly return 401 + X-Auth-Required so
the client can recover. JWKS/key infrastructure failures remain
plain-Error → 500 as added in the previous commit.
