What

Follow-up to PR #8 (redirect-only OIDC login), addressing the [major] finding from its post-merge review.

When the OIDC provider (id.dos.me) is unreachable, authClient.oidc.signIn() rejects and the rejection was unhandled, leaving users on the "Redirecting..." spinner forever with no error, no retry, and no path to the manual form. The break-glass door (?direct=1) worked but was unreachable behind the spinner.

Changes

  • signin.tsx / signup.tsx: catch the signIn rejection, flip isRedirectFailed, and re-render the manual form (OIDC button to retry, ?direct=1 break-glass door for admins) instead of the spinner.
  • signup.tsx: port the synchronous embedded-hash guard from the signin route so crafted /signup URLs cannot bounce embedded signing widgets to the IdP.

Verification

  • npx tsc --noEmit in apps/remix: clean
  • biome check --write: clean
  • vitest run constants/auth.test.ts: 3/3 pass
  • Full CI on this PR (unit tests + biome) as the final gate

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sign-in and sign-up pages now recover when automatic identity-provider redirects fail, showing the manual form instead of an indefinite loading spinner.
    • Embedded signing widgets are no longer redirected automatically from the sign-up page.

…eachable

The automatic OIDC redirect fired authClient.oidc.signIn() without a
.catch, so an unreachable IdP left users on the redirect spinner forever
with no error, no retry, and no path to the break-glass form. Catch the
rejection and re-render the manual form (retry button, ?direct=1
break-glass door) instead.

Also port the synchronous embedded-hash guard from the signin route to
the signup route so embedded signing widgets cannot bounce to the IdP
from a crafted /signup URL.

Walkthrough

The sign-in and signup routes now catch failed OIDC redirects. They show the manual form after failure. The signup route also skips automatic redirects when the URL hash contains embedded=true.

Changes

OIDC redirect handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redirect failure and embedded signup handling
apps/remix/app/routes/_unauthenticated+/signin.tsx, apps/remix/app/routes/_unauthenticated+/signup.tsx
Both routes track OIDC redirect failure and hide the loading spinner after rejection. The signup route also skips automatic redirection for embedded=true URLs.

Code Review

This pull request introduces error handling for OIDC sign-in and sign-up flows by catching failures and falling back to manual forms instead of displaying an infinite spinner. It also adds a check in the sign-up flow to prevent automatic redirection in embedded contexts. The review feedback suggests improving the embedded context detection in the sign-up route by tracking isEmbeddedRedirect via state and a useEffect hook, and using this state to guard the spinner rendering, aligning its implementation with the sign-in route.

To prevent users in embedded contexts from getting stuck on the spinner forever, we need to track whether the signup is embedded. Let's add the isEmbeddedRedirect state and its corresponding useEffect to detect the #embedded=true hash on mount, matching the implementation in signin.tsx.

Suggested change
const [searchParams] = useSearchParams();
const [isRedirectFailed, setIsRedirectFailed] = useState(false);
const [searchParams] = useSearchParams();
const [isRedirectFailed, setIsRedirectFailed] = useState(false);
const [isEmbeddedRedirect, setIsEmbeddedRedirect] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
const hash = window.location.hash.slice(1);
const params = new URLSearchParams(hash);
setIsEmbeddedRedirect(params.get('embedded') === 'true');
}, []);

}, [shouldRedirectToOIDC, returnTo]);

if (shouldRedirectToOIDC) {
if (shouldRedirectToOIDC && !isRedirectFailed) {

Since shouldRedirectToOIDC is not updated to include !isEmbeddedRedirect (as that line is outside the diff hunks), we should guard the spinner rendering here by checking !isEmbeddedRedirect. This ensures that if the signup is embedded, we immediately render the manual form instead of showing the infinite spinner.

Suggested change
if (shouldRedirectToOIDC && !isRedirectFailed) {
if (shouldRedirectToOIDC && !isRedirectFailed && !isEmbeddedRedirect) {

Porting only the synchronous hash guard left the signup spinner branch
reachable from a crafted /signup#embedded=true URL: signIn() was blocked
but the spinner kept rendering with no way out. Track the embedded hash
in state like the signin route so the manual form renders instead.
