auth: server-side auth.api.getSession reads renew the session without forwarding the renewed cookie, so the browser cookie expires before the session (split session)

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ① a product defect, reach measured through public doors. Found and measured by the objectstack-ai/cloud#2699 dev (os-dev-report on cloud#2699; cloud PR #2708 fixes cloud's own readers). Filed by the repo:cloud seat (repo:cloud#1, R45, session session_011jobP72PwN3whNm55GetXQ), because the rest of the fix lands in this repo. ⛔ Not a claim.

The defect (better-auth 1.7.3 at cloud's pin 56bf27af: expiresIn 604800 s, updateAge 86400 s)

• Renewal sets a cookie only on that call's response. When a session crosses updateAge, better-auth getSession extends the DB session by expiresIn and puts the renewed cookie on that call's response.
• Server-side reads discard that response. A host that calls auth.api.getSession({ headers }) in-process (with no disableRefresh) therefore extends the session, which is also the bearer, while the browser keeps its old cookie expiry. Later browser get-session calls need no renewal, so nothing re-issues the cookie. The cookie dies first. That leaves a split session: a dead cookie beside a live bearer.
• Measured (session aged to now + expiresIn − updateAge − 60 s): each of these moved sys_session.expires_at by +86460 s and answered no session cookie, by cookie and by bearer alike:
  • on the control plane: GET /api/v1/data/sys_organization and GET /api/v1/auth/me/permissions;
  • on an environment: GET /api/v1/data/sys_user.
• Control: GET /api/v1/auth/get-session and GET /api/v1/auth/organization/list renew and re-issue the cookie (getSessionFromCtx forwards Set-Cookie).
• The readers, by source: packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts:2990, packages/plugins/plugin-hono-server/src/current-user-endpoints.ts:406 and packages/runtime/src/security/resolve-session-principal.ts:51. git grep disableRefresh -- packages/ at the pin gives 0 hits.

Why it matters

cloud#2686 was triggered by exactly this state: the console looks signed in (the bearer is live), but every cookie-only path sees a signed-out user. If renewals land on server-side reads, the split is the normal state for any user active longer than one expiresIn.

Fix direction (for this lane to choose)

• Class-closing: plugin-auth owns the rule that an in-process auth.api.getSession never renews (query: { disableRefresh: true }). Renewal then happens only on the browser-facing get-session, which forwards the cookie. better-auth applies the same rule to RSC reads (dist/integrations/next-js.mjs:69).
• Or per reader: pass disableRefresh at each of the three readers above, plus any other in-process caller. A grep census is part of the fix.
• Cloud's own shape is in cloud PR feat(security): ADR-0090 P2 — everyone/guest audience anchors, additive baseline, anchor binding gate #2708 (getSessionData, plus a readSessionWithoutRenewal helper in objectos-runtime), with pins.

Tests

• Pin: a server-side read past updateAge leaves sys_session.expires_at unchanged and sets no cookie.
• Control: the browser get-session still renews and re-issues the cookie with Max-Age = expiresIn.
• Ablation: dropping the flag turns the pin red.

Done when

No framework door extends a session without forwarding its cookie. Cloud receives the fix with v18 (cloud consumes this repo by pin; objectstack#22050 ruling B), and objectstack-ai/cloud#2699 is Blocked-by this card.

Dedupe

A semantic search for getSession disableRefresh server-side session renewal Set-Cookie dropped cookie expires before session returns 0 hits. Dedupe words: getSession disableRefresh, server-side session renewal Set-Cookie, split session cookie bearer expiry, sys_session expires_at extended no cookie.

Reader: triage routes it. By its packages it lands in the services lane (plugin-auth, plugin-hono-server) or the cli lane (rest, runtime).

Triage: first grade, priority:p2 · domain:cli · area:identity · pm:queue. Direction: a server-side session read never leaves the browser's cookie behind

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-08T10:53Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts, packages/plugins/plugin-hono-server/src/current-user-endpoints.ts and packages/runtime/src/security/resolve-session-principal.ts (the in-process getSession readers) ⇒ domain:cli; rationale: packages/rest and runtime are that lane's.

• Why p2: the same grade as objectstack-ai/cloud#2699, which measured it. Any user active past updateAge can end up with a dead cookie beside a live bearer, and every cookie-only path then sees them signed out. Less access, not more, so not security.
• The choice: disableRefresh on server-side reads, or forward the renewed Set-Cookie.
  • disableRefresh alone would stop renewal for clients that hold only a bearer and never call get-session. Measure who those are before taking it.
  • Forwarding keeps renewal for both. One rule across all three readers either way.
• Pins: an aged session read through each reader leaves cookie and session expiry aligned. Control: get-session still renews and re-issues.

File surface, per the card body and triage 6058300952, read on origin/main b7e01fbb:

• The in-process getSession readers in this lane, which follow one rule:
  • packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts (:3027 and :3213);
  • packages/runtime/src/security/resolve-session-principal.ts (:51) and packages/runtime/src/http-dispatcher.ts (:1359);
  • packages/plugins/plugin-hono-server/src/current-user-endpoints.ts (:406);
  • packages/cloud-connection/src/marketplace-install-local-plugin.ts (:2620).
  • The card named three; the census on b7e01fbb finds these six in this lane.
• Where the one rule lives: a helper in packages/runtime (beside resolve-session-principal.ts) that the readers above call, if one helper fits all six. The dev says where it went and why.
• Pins, in the packages above:
  • an aged session read through each door leaves the cookie expiry and the session expiry aligned;
  • control: the browser get-session still renews and re-issues the cookie.
• .changeset/*.md: patch for each package whose shipped code changes.
• Added at review (PR fix(auth): in-process session reads no longer renew a browser session behind its cookie #22367), amended in place 2026-10-08T23:00Z:
  • The helper's home is packages/types/src/in-process-session-read.ts (with its test and the index.ts barrel line), not packages/runtime: rest cannot import runtime and plugin-hono-server does not depend on it, while all four reader packages already depend on @objectstack/types.
  • Four more readers in this lane, the optional-chained api?.getSession?.( spelling the census missed: packages/runtime/src/security/resolve-execution-context.ts, packages/cloud-connection/src/cloud-connection-plugin.ts, and one more each in http-dispatcher.ts and marketplace-install-local-plugin.ts.
  • packages/rest/src/execctx-authz-input-seam-reachability.test.ts: a source-text pin's spelling, intent unchanged.
  • .changeset/*.md: @objectstack/types minor; rest, runtime, plugin-hono-server and cloud-connection patch.
• ⛔ No packages/plugins/plugin-auth, plugin-webhooks or packages/services/* edit; those readers are domain:services'. No packages/spec, no content/docs. (Stop on breach and explain in the report.)

The other lane's readers, measured and not edited: plugin-auth/src/auth-plugin.ts (:2464, :2527, :2594, :2912), plugin-webhooks/src/webhook-outbox-plugin.ts (:482) and service-storage/src/storage-service-plugin.ts (:843). The dev measures which of them leave a split session. The seat carries the result to domain:services.

Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: default (opus). dispatch-gates --tier over the path gives no path-derived mandate.
Clause-②: yes (widening)

• Amended in place 2026-10-08T23:00Z at review of PR fix(auth): in-process session reads no longer renew a browser session behind its cookie #22367. The one shared helper adds three named exports to a published package entry (@objectstack/types: inProcessSessionReadInput, carriesSessionCookie, type InProcessSessionReadInput), so it is a widening and takes minor. No accepted input or wire shape changes: a cookie request's in-process read stops renewing; a bearer-only read renews as before. A contract review is owed on the head.
  Responsibility: platform code: in-process auth.api.getSession reads renew the session and discard the renewed Set-Cookie, leaving a live bearer beside a dying cookie | none known: no reader passes disableRefresh or forwards the response headers (git grep disableRefresh -- packages/: 0 hits) | any user active past updateAge on a cookie session: every cookie-only path then sees them signed out (measured on cloud, objectstack-ai/cloud#2699)
  Thread-read: 6058300952
  Serial constraints cleared: read 2026-10-08T21:37Z:

ACCEPT — PR #22367 at 8200f577, pending the contract review (Clause-②: yes) and CI. Part of: the domain:services half is released at landing

_{domain:cli seat · session_01RWZbGvPFcRKvUqASZtunCU · read on GitHub 2026-10-08T23:01Z}

Checked on GitHub and in the diff, not from the report:

• Shape:
  • draft, base main;
  • line 1 is Part of #22258, line 2 is Clause-②: yes (widening), then a Release: line naming domain:services as the carrier of the other half;
  • assignee os-warren;
  • 16 files, +907 / −14.
• The rule (packages/types/src/in-process-session-read.ts) works from what the request carries:
  • a request with a better-auth session cookie reads with query.disableRefresh, so it renews only through get-session, which re-issues the cookie;
  • a bearer-only request reads as before, so it keeps renewing;
  • the headers pass through untouched, so every reader resolves the same session it did.
  • The helper only ever adds disableRefresh. It never sets or forwards a cookie.
  • The cookie test reads the name's shape (<prefix>.session_token, behind __Secure- / __Host-), not one spelling. An empty value counts as no session.
• The readers: ten in-process readers in this lane now call api.getSession(inProcessSessionReadInput(headers)). Each is a one-expression substitution:
  • rest-server.ts (two);
  • runtime/src/http-dispatcher.ts (two), security/resolve-session-principal.ts and security/resolve-execution-context.ts;
  • plugin-hono-server/src/current-user-endpoints.ts;
  • cloud-connection/src/cloud-connection-plugin.ts and marketplace-install-local-plugin.ts (two).
  • The seat's census found six. The dev found four more with the optional-chained api?.getSession?.( spelling. All four are the same defect in this lane, so they are fixed here.
• The home is @objectstack/types, not runtime, and that holds. rest cannot import runtime (a cycle), plugin-hono-server does not depend on it, and all four reader packages already depend on types.
  • So the one rule needs a published entry, and three named exports are added there. Clause-②: yes (widening) and @objectstack/types minor are right: a new package-entry export is a widening.
  • The claim declared no before the home was chosen. It is amended in place (6069531196), and a contract review is owed on this head.
• H3 and H4, measured. Bearer-only clients (@objectstack/client outside a browser, the os CLI) reach get-session only at sign-in, so a blanket disableRefresh would end their sliding renewal. The cookie-conditional rule keeps it.
  • Forwarding the renewed Set-Cookie was measured and not taken: several readers hold no response (the rate limiter, the dispatcher's scope resolution, the cached execution-context resolver).
• The pins:
  • runtime/src/in-process-session-renewal.pin.test.ts runs against real better-auth, 11 cases:
    • a precondition: a bare read renews;
    • /data/:object, /auth/me/permissions and /i18n/locales, each by cookie (aligned: 0 s, no cookie) and by bearer (renews, no cookie set);
    • resolveSessionPrincipalId both ways;
    • the get-session control with Max-Age = expiresIn.
  • The input pins in rest, plugin-hono-server, cloud-connection and types.
  • The dev's two ablations each reddened exactly the door they removed, and each was restored to a blob equal to HEAD.
  • The pre-existing source-text pin execctx-authz-input-seam-reachability.test.ts changed its spelling only, with the same intent.
• Changeset: types minor; rest, runtime, plugin-hono-server and cloud-connection patch. Each sentence checks against the diff, including the bearer behaviour and the list of domain:services readers left unchanged.

The open question (Clause-②), ruled A: keep yes (widening) with types minor, as shipped. B would misstate an additive export. C has no home that avoids four copies of the rule.

Owed before landing:

• the independent contract review on 8200f577 (Clause-②: yes);
• CI on 8200f577 (running).
• No new mkdtempSync site, so no self-test is owed.

At landing (Part of #22258): the seat releases the card to retriage, naming the domain:services half. That half is nine in-process readers:

• plugin-auth ×4;
• plugin-webhooks;
• service-storage;
• plugin-sharing, service-settings and service-datasource.

Each was measured splitting on this branch's build. Each is fixed by the same inProcessSessionReadInput(headers) from @objectstack/types.

Not filed:

• AuthSessionApi's getSession input declaration in packages/spec lags the helper's wider slice (a declaration drift for the spec seat; in the PR's Acceptance notes);
• a browser request carrying the bearer without the cookie still renews in-process, which is the server's blind spot;
• better-auth's own get-session re-issues the cookie to a bearer-only request (vendor route).

Landed (Part of): PR #22367 → a45d5d8ab7, a single-parent queue squash. This lane's ten readers are done; the domain:services half is released to retriage

• Landing shape:
  • a45d5d8ab7 has one parent.
  • It is an ancestor of origin/main; the pre-merge head 8200f577 is not.
  • It entered the merge queue 2026-10-08T23:36:20Z and merged 2026-10-09T00:11:50Z on that first entry.
  • Part of #22258, so this card stays open.
• Content on origin/main:
  • packages/types/src/in-process-session-read.ts: inProcessSessionReadInput(headers) adds query: { disableRefresh: true } only when the request carries a better-auth session cookie; a bearer-only read is unchanged. It sets and forwards no cookie.
  • Ten in-process readers in this lane call api.getSession(inProcessSessionReadInput(headers)): rest-server.ts (two), runtime's http-dispatcher.ts (two), resolve-session-principal.ts and resolve-execution-context.ts, plugin-hono-server's current-user-endpoints.ts, and cloud-connection's cloud-connection-plugin.ts and marketplace-install-local-plugin.ts (two).
  • The pins: runtime/src/in-process-session-renewal.pin.test.ts against real better-auth (11 cases, with the get-session control), plus the input pins in types, rest, plugin-hono-server and cloud-connection.
  • The changeset: @objectstack/types minor; rest, runtime, plugin-hono-server and cloud-connection patch.
• Review of record:
  • ACCEPT 6070755027 at 8200f577; the open question ruled A (yes (widening), types minor).
  • Clause-②: yes (widening): the claim was amended in place (6069531196) once the helper's home was chosen. The independent contract review on 8200f577 is PASS (PR fix(auth): in-process session reads no longer renew a browser session behind its cookie #22367, 6070952113).
  • CI on the head was green before arming (34 runs). check-governed-merges: not governed. check-expected-skips: OK. No new mkdtempSync site, so no self-test was owed. Arming re-ran git merge-tree against a fresh origin/main in the same step: clean.
• Delivered: in this lane, a browser request (one that carries the session cookie) no longer renews its session in-process behind a cookie that is never re-issued. It renews only through get-session, which re-issues the cookie, so cookie and session expire together. A bearer-only client (the SDK outside a browser, the os CLI) keeps its sliding renewal.

Release: the domain:services half stays open on this card. Nine in-process readers there still split a cookie session (each measured on this PR's build, table H5 in the PR body):

• plugin-auth auth-plugin.ts ×4 (:2464, :2527 gateAdmin, :2594, :2912);
• plugin-webhooks webhook-outbox-plugin.ts:482;
• service-storage storage-service-plugin.ts:843;
• plugin-sharing sharing-plugin.ts:940, service-settings settings-service-plugin.ts:299 and service-datasource admin-routes.ts:212.

Each is fixed by the same one-expression call from @objectstack/types. Five of the six packages already depend on it; plugin-webhooks would gain that one dependency.

• Retriage ask: route the remainder to domain:services.
• Also carried, for domain:spec: AuthSessionApi.getSession's input in packages/spec/src/contracts/auth-service.ts is still declared { headers }, and its doc says every reader passes exactly that. The helper now passes query.disableRefresh too. A declaration drift, not a break (PR Acceptance notes).

pm:dispatched → pm:queue + pm:retriage; the card is unassigned.
