Description of change

Prevent the splash biometric flow from routing to /main before the initial Tauri deep link has been discovered. The root layout now exposes an initialization promise, resolves it after deep-link setup finishes (including failure), and the splash awaits it before checking pendingDeepLink.

This fixes the timing-dependent regression related to #1048 / #1078: completing biometric authentication quickly could skip the consent screen, while completing it slowly worked.

Type of change

  • Fix

How the change has been tested

  • pnpm check in infrastructure/eid-wallet (0 errors; 5 pre-existing Svelte warnings)
  • git diff --check

Change checklist

  • Cold-start deep-link discovery completes before splash authentication chooses a route
  • Deep-link initialization failures do not leave the splash waiting indefinitely
  • Unrelated generated-project and local Firebase files are excluded

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved startup handling for deep links when returning users authenticate quickly with biometrics.
    • Ensured pending deep links are detected reliably before routing to the main wallet screen.
    • Updated the wallet and mobile app release versions, including the Android version code.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-319 — Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Reject non-loopback HTTP vault URIs before sending TOKEN.

The registry response supplies uri at Line 115. This line creates gqlUrl without a protocol check. Line 136 then sends TOKEN as a Bearer credential to that URL. If resolution returns a non-loopback http: URI, a network attacker can read the token.

Allow HTTP only for explicit loopback development targets. Require HTTPS for every other vault URI.

Make repeated seed runs idempotent. randomUUID() gives each invocation a new reference, and createBindingDocument stores each call as a new MetaEnvelope. The wallet requests multiple id_document records but uses the first result, ordered by generated m.id. Repeated runs therefore leave duplicate records and can make the displayed Legal ID depend on which generated ID sorts first. Query for an existing id_document for SELF and skip creation when one exists.

Reject options that have no value.

arg() returns the fallback when --count has no following value. For example, --ename @alice --count passes validation and seeds 8 bindings. Return an invalid value when an option is present but missing its argument.

     const i = argv.indexOf(`--${name}`);

Require encrypted transport before sending TOKEN.

gqlUrl comes from registry and provisioner uri responses. gql() sends TOKEN in an Authorization header without checking the URL protocol. If either service returns a remote http: vault URI, an on-path attacker can capture the bearer token and issue authenticated requests. Reject non-HTTPS targets, except explicitly supported loopback development targets.

Return a failure status when any requested seed fails. When seedOne() fails, the loop logs FAILED and continues. Because main() then resolves, Node exits with status 0 even though Seeded ${seeded.length}/${count} reports an incomplete run. Track item failures and set process.exitCode = 1 after processing all seeds. This keeps independent seeds running while allowing CLI callers to detect failure.

…t auth

Logging in from a third-party platform while the wallet was not already
running would authenticate the user and then drop them on /main, with the
consent screen never appearing. It only reproduced when biometric
authentication completed quickly; authenticating slowly worked fine.

On a cold start four things run concurrently: the root layout receiving the
URL, the splash or /login authenticating the user, the post-auth routine
routing onward, and /scan-qr rendering the consent drawer. The code assumed a
fixed ordering between them and detected "a deep link is in progress" by
reading the pendingDeepLink key directly. That key is deliberately
short-lived, being renamed to deepLinkData the moment authentication
succeeds, so fast authentication let the splash observe the gap where neither
key was set, conclude this was an ordinary launch, and route to /main. Two
concurrent authenticate() calls and two navigations then competed over a
single payload.

Introduce lib/utils/deepLinkFlow.ts as the single owner of that state:

- A sticky deepLinkFlowActive marker spans the whole journey, so concurrent
  code can ask whether a deep link is in flight without catching the handover
  gap.
- walletAuthenticated lets a late-arriving URL route straight to the consent
  screen instead of bouncing off a stale pathname check.
- An auth-prompt bracket makes the post-auth routine the sole owner of
  navigation while a prompt is on screen, so the deep-link handler no longer
  issues a competing goto().

Also fold the layout's three near-identical 130-line handlers into one
order-independent router, drop a self-triggering deepLinkReceived listener,
dedupe URLs delivered through both getCurrent() and onOpenUrl, and read the
post-consent redirect from the in-memory store rather than storage keys that
have already been cleared by the time the user taps Confirm.

Covered by unit tests over each cold-start interleaving.
Three follow-ups to the cold-start deep-link fix.

Clear the session's authentication markers on logout. Logout resets the global
state and navigates to "/", but that is an SPA navigation so sessionStorage
survives it and walletAuthenticated stayed set. The deep-link router then
treated a logged-out session as authenticated and sent an incoming URL to the
consent screen instead of to /login. The (app) vault guard did bounce it back,
so this was not an auth bypass, but the routing decision was wrong and relied
on a second guard to stay safe. resetAuthSession() now clears the auth markers
and any half-finished deep link.

Keep the auth-prompt bracket open across continueAfterSuccessfulAuth. Callers
were releasing it before invoking that routine, which then performed several
awaits before navigating. A URL delivered during that window saw no prompt in
flight, so the layout issued its own goto("/scan-qr") racing the routine's
goto("/main") — and if the routine had already checked for a payload, the user
landed on /main with the deep link unconsumed. That is the original symptom in
a narrower window. The routine now owns the bracket and releases it inside a
synchronous handover block: collect the payload, then release, with no await
between. With no suspension point, a URL is either parked before the block and
collected there, or delivered after it and routed by the layout against an
already-authenticated session. Callers still release in a finally, which is
idempotent and covers the failure paths.

Scope the duplicate-delivery guard to one flow instead of the whole session.
It exists only to collapse Android delivering a cold-start URL through both
getCurrent() and onOpenUrl. As a session-lifetime value it also swallowed a
legitimate re-presentation of the same link; clearDeepLinkFlow now releases
it. Moved into the flow module so that release happens in one place.

Adds tests for each finding, including the post-auth handover orderings that
previously had no coverage.
…nsent screen

The previous commit made the deep-link state machine order-independent, but
the consent screen still vanished on a real build. The remaining cause is not
state handover at all: it is that unmounting a Svelte component does not
cancel an async onMount that is parked on an await.

The splash's onMount sleeps 1.2s for its intro animation, then awaits global
state, onboarding flags, the PIN hash and the deep-link handshake. On a cold
start from a deep link the root layout redirects to /login almost
immediately, so the splash unmounts while that routine is still suspended
somewhere in the middle. The continuation is not discarded. It resumes on the
next tick of whatever it was waiting for, by which time the user may already
have authenticated and be looking at the consent drawer, and it then runs its
tail: goto("/login") or, worse, a second biometric prompt followed by a second
post-auth routine that routes to /main. Either way the drawer is torn down.

This is what made the bug depend on authentication speed. Slow biometric let
the splash finish its awaits and exit cleanly before the user was through;
fast biometric left it suspended across the very moment the consent screen
appeared.

/login has the same shape — it polls up to five seconds for global state and
then awaits two plugin calls before prompting — so it can likewise wake after
the splash already authenticated the user and fire a duplicate prompt.

Give both screens a liveness check after every await: bail out if the
component was destroyed, or if the session is already authenticated and some
other screen therefore owns navigation now. Abandoning a stale continuation
leaves the deep-link payload untouched for the live screen to consume.
The liveness checks added in the previous commit were correct, but their
tests restated the condition inside the spec file instead of importing it.
That made them tautological: deleting the guard from the splash and /login
would not have failed a single test.

Move the condition into deepLinkFlow as shouldAbortStaleContinuation() and
have both screens and the spec call that one function. Verified by mutation:
weakening it to ignore the authenticated session now fails two tests, where
previously it failed none.

No behaviour change.
…y auth API

After a deep-link login completed, the webview was pointed at the platform's
`redirect` parameter, which is its /api/auth endpoint. That route only accepts
POST, so issuing a GET at it rendered "Cannot GET /api/auth" on top of an
otherwise successful login.

The credentials had already been handed to the platform's /deeplink-login page
immediately above, which performs the POST itself and signs the user in, so the
navigation was both wrong and redundant. Remove it and let the handoff stand.

Also stop racing that handoff: the goto("/main") that returned the wallet to its
home screen was fired before openUrl rather than after, tearing the page down
mid-handoff.

The camera-scan path is unchanged. It still POSTs from the wallet, because there
the platform is waiting on another device and picks the session up over SSE.
… user

Two regressions from the deep-link rework, both in the same handler.

A completed login was never marked as finished. The flow tracks requests with a
sticky deepLinkFlowActive marker that deliberately outlives the payload keys, so
that concurrent code can ask "is a deep link in flight?" without catching the
instant where the payload has been promoted and neither key is set. Only
/scan-qr's mount path ever retired that marker, and a confirmed login does not
pass through it again, so the request stayed live forever: /login kept showing
"Authentication request pending" and offering a request the user had already
used. Clear the flow once the credentials have been handed over, and again
whenever the consent drawer closes, so a declined or dismissed request is
retired the same way.

The deep-link path also skipped the "You're logged in!" confirmation that the
scan path shows, dropping the user straight onto the home screen with no
indication the login had worked. Show the same drawer; its Ok button is what
returns them to /main.
…pent logins

A completed deep-link login kept being offered back to the user: /login showed
"Authentication request pending" on every later visit, for a request they had
already used.

The cause was a `deepLinkFlowActive` key introduced by this branch. It was
justified by a supposed instant during promotion where neither payload key is
set, and was therefore made to outlive the payload deliberately. That instant
does not exist: promotePendingDeepLink writes deepLinkData before removing
pendingDeepLink, with no await in between, and every reader checks both keys.
So the marker guarded nothing, while its stickiness meant a consumed request
still looked pending forever.

Derive isDeepLinkFlowActive from the payload instead, restoring the invariant
the code had before this branch: the payload IS the request, and /scan-qr
retiring it on mount ends the request. That also removes the need for the
compensating clears added on the confirm and drawer-close paths, which were
treating the symptom.

The test that claimed to cover the handover window asserted the sticky flag
while its own neighbouring assertion showed the payload was readable the whole
time. Rewrite it to assert the real invariant, and add one that fails if the
sticky behaviour is ever reintroduced (verified by mutation).
…wn loop

A single deep-link login replayed indefinitely: success screen, an empty
scan page, home, a white frame, then the same request again, and eventually
the PIN screen.

The dedupe guard exists because Android delivers a cold-start URL through both
getCurrent() and onOpenUrl. It remembered the last handled URL, but
clearDeepLinkFlow() released that memory, on the theory that re-presenting the
same link later is a legitimate new request.

That release is what closed the loop. /scan-qr consumes the payload and clears
the flow, which forgets the URL, so the second delivery of the very same URL
looks new and starts the login again. The activity is launchMode=singleTask and
the plugin never clears its stored intent, so getCurrent() keeps replaying the
original URL on every webview load, restarting the cycle indefinitely.

Keep the guard beyond the lifetime of the flow. This cannot swallow a real
second login: platforms mint a fresh session uuid per request, so a genuine new
request is a different URL. Both properties are now covered by tests.
…gin to /login

Fixing the replay loop by keeping the dedupe marker forever was too blunt: it
also suppressed the SECOND delivery that a cold start legitimately relies on,
and the resulting half-finished flow surfaced as an unexpected PIN screen.

Separate the two reasons a URL is suppressed. While a request is in flight its
URL is remembered as in-flight; when the flow is cleared that URL is promoted to
handled rather than forgotten. Both suppress delivery, but the marker is never
dropped mid-flow, which is what let a replay look new. resetAuthSession clears
both, so logging out and following the same link again still works.

Also guard (app)/+layout, which has the same uncancelled-onMount shape already
fixed on the splash and /login: it polls for global state, retries the vault
read, and calls goto("/login") on failure. Unmounting does not cancel it, so a
continuation from a previous mount could wake after a successful login and
redirect a fully authenticated user to the PIN screen. It now bails out when the
layout is gone or the session is already authenticated. This is a genuine
security guard, so it still redirects normally for an unauthenticated visitor.
…rounded

Completing a deep-link login on a warm start briefly showed the success screen,
then a blank frame, then the PIN screen, with the camera and a pile of history
entries left behind it.

Handing off to the platform calls openUrl, which sends the user out to the
browser. Android is free to reload the backgrounded webview, and that wipes
sessionStorage. The Activity is launchMode=singleTask and the deep-link plugin
never clears its stored intent, so getCurrent() replays the original URL on the
next load. Every marker guarding against that replay lived in sessionStorage, so
on resume the wallet had forgotten both that the user had authenticated and that
the link had already been handled: it processed the old URL as a brand new
unauthenticated request, demanded the PIN, and mounted /scan-qr again with no
payload left, which falls through to starting the camera.

Move only the dedupe markers to localStorage, which outlives the webview exactly
as the replaying Activity does.

walletAuthenticated deliberately stays in sessionStorage. Persisting it would
let a deep link arriving after an app kill skip authentication entirely, since
both the deep-link router and the splash treat an authenticated session as
already through the gate. Being forgotten on relaunch is what makes it safe, and
a test now pins that.

The spec never stubbed localStorage, so state leaked between cases; it now
stubs both and models a webview reload by replacing sessionStorage alone.
…g blackholed

Two defects, both introduced while fixing the stale-intent replay.

Deep-link login stopped working entirely. Handled URLs were remembered forever
in localStorage, justified by an assumption I never checked: that every request
carries a unique session id. It does not. A session belongs to an OFFER, and
platforms reuse the same offer URI while its QR is on screen (refreshed only
every 60s), so retrying a still-pending login delivers a byte-identical URL.
The permanent marker swallowed it and the approval screen never appeared again.
Suppression now expires after 30s, which still covers the replay it exists to
catch — the plugin re-delivering a stale intent moments after the webview
reloads — without blacklisting a genuine retry.

The in-flight marker had the mirror-image problem: it was durable too, so an app
killed on the consent screen left its own URL permanently marked as being
processed, and that login became unreachable. In-flight is now scoped to the
webview that is actually processing the request, mirrored durably only so the
completion path can promote it to recently-handled.

Logout clears the marker in both stores; missing that left a followed link
blocked after logging out, which the existing logout test caught.

Verified by mutation: restoring the permanent blacklist, or making the in-flight
marker durable again, each fails the specific test written for it.
… route

Returning from a deep-link login landed the user on the PIN screen, with the
consent request lost.

/scan-qr is not only the scanner: it renders the deep-link consent drawer, so
the flow navigates there on its own. Coming back from the browser handoff,
Android reloads the backgrounded webview, which restores /scan-qr as the current
route. The page then mounts before the root layout's onMount has created global
state — and it captured that state once, at component init:

    const globalState = getContext(...)();   // undefined on this path

The first `globalState.vaultController` therefore threw a TypeError, which
initialize()'s catch reported as "Authentication check failed" and turned into
goto("/login"). The logs show that catch firing with no VaultController retry
warnings at all, because the resilient read was never reached.

Take the context accessor instead of a snapshot and poll for global state, the
same pattern every other route guard already uses. Also stop treating a THROWN
vault read as "signed out": it means the store IPC is briefly unavailable after
a resume, which is the distinction readVaultResilient exists to preserve, and
the (app) layout still guards genuinely unauthenticated visitors.

handleDeepLinkData had the same assumption and silently discarded the payload
when state was late; it now waits too.
…iometrics

/login offered only the PIN pad: the biometric prompt never appeared.

The liveness guard asked "is the session authenticated?" and treated a true
answer as proof that the routine was a stale continuation another screen had
superseded. But reaching /login WITH an authenticated session is normal in a
deep-link flow — authentication completes, then a route guard bounces here — so
a freshly mounted screen was classified as stale and returned at the check
directly above beginAuthPrompt(), before ever prompting.

The real question is whether the routine was superseded WHILE it waited, which
is a transition, not a state. Screens now snapshot the authentication state when
their routine starts and pass it back in; only a change from unauthenticated to
authenticated means another screen took ownership. A screen that mounts
already-authenticated sees no transition and proceeds.

Applied to the splash, /login and the (auth) layout, which share the pattern.

Verified by mutation in both directions: restoring the old guard fails the new
biometric case, and dropping the transition check fails the original
zombie-continuation cases.
The consent dialog stopped opening at all: a deep link arriving while the app
was backgrounded was logged as received and then immediately dismissed as a
duplicate, so it never reached the consent screen.

isDuplicateDelivery writes the in-flight URL to sessionStorage and mirrors it to
localStorage, but clearDeepLinkFlow only removed the durable copy. The session
copy therefore outlived the request it belonged to, and since that check has no
expiry, every later delivery of the same URL matched it for the whole life of
the webview. Android replays the original intent rather than minting a new one,
so the replay was always the same URL — permanently blocked.

Clear both copies on completion, and cover it with a test that retries the same
link past the replay window within one webview.
Opening a w3ds link from the browser showed the consent request and then
immediately dropped the user on the camera page.

MainActivity is launchMode=singleTask with a VIEW intent filter and no
onNewIntent override, so following a link from Chrome restarts the Activity and
Tauri builds a brand new webview. That webview restores /scan-qr as the current
route and mounts it at once, while the root layout is still asynchronously
importing the deep-link plugin and calling getCurrent().

/scan-qr therefore read empty storage, logged "No deep link data found", and
started the camera. Only afterwards did the layout receive the URL and store the
payload, by which time nothing was left to consume it. The logs show exactly
that order: the page's "no deep link data" line precedes "Deep link received".

The layout already publishes initialDeepLinkReady for precisely this, and the
splash awaits it; /scan-qr never did. Await it before treating the payload as
absent, with the event listeners registered beforehand so a URL arriving during
the wait is delivered by event instead. The wait is bounded at 3s so a stalled
plugin import degrades to "no deep link" rather than leaving the page blank.
… request

The consent drawer appeared and was then replaced by the camera page.

Following a w3ds link from the browser restarts the Activity (singleTask, VIEW
filter, no onNewIntent override), so Tauri builds a fresh webview and the plugin
replays the original intent through getCurrent(). The pre-existing code survived
this by accident: nothing suppressed the replay, so the payload was simply
stored again and the drawer reopened. Adding a dedupe guard removed that
accidental recovery without replacing it.

The mistake was treating "the drawer took ownership of the payload" as "the
request is handled". That happens when the user's decision STARTS, so a recreate
at that moment looked like a completed request and the replay was dropped,
leaving the new webview with nothing to show.

Split the two facts. clearDeepLinkFlow now only releases the payload, and a new
markDeepLinkHandled records completion at the points where the user actually
finished: approved and handed off, submitted from a scan, or declined. The
in-flight marker is session-scoped only, so an empty sessionStorage is the
signal that this is a new webview and the replay is its first delivery.

Verified by mutation: marking handled on drawer-open, or making the in-flight
marker durable, each fails the Activity-recreate test.
…restart

Approving a deep-link login from the browser returned the user to a bare
scanner page instead of the "You're logged in!" confirmation.

Approval calls openUrl to hand the signed session to the platform, which leaves
the app; coming back from the browser restarts the Activity, so Tauri rebuilds
the webview. loggedInDrawerOpen is an in-memory Svelte store, and it was set
AFTER the openUrl await — on the very code path most likely to be destroyed
before it renders. The original code had the same ordering but survived because
it re-read the deep-link payload from sessionStorage on the way back; the dedupe
work removed that accidental recovery.

Record the completion durably, before leaving the app, and restore it when the
page mounts with no pending payload. It is single-use and cleared when the user
taps Ok or logs out, so a later restart cannot resurrect it.

Verified by mutation: storing the confirmation in sessionStorage instead fails
the restart test.
… restart

The rebuilt webview showed "You're logged in!" with a blank logo: the platform
name was there, the app icon and card were not.

The restored state only carried the platform name. PlatformAppCard resolves its
icon from the HOSTNAME — getPlatformKey(hostname) picks the bundled brand icon,
falling back to /apple-touch-icon.png and /favicon.ico on that host — so with
hostname null the cascade went straight to its last-resort placeholder. The
original code never hit this because it rebuilt every field by re-parsing the
stored deep-link payload, which carries the redirect URL.

Persist the whole set the drawer renders (platform, hostname, redirect) rather
than the name alone, and restore all three.

Verified by mutation: dropping hostname from the stored completion fails the
restart test.
The biometric dialog was fired from two places: the splash and /login.
Both prompted from their own onMount with no ordering between them, so
whichever won the race decided which screen the system dialog appeared
over. Users saw it over the purple splash sometimes and over a
half-painted PIN pad other times, because /login's prompt does not wait
for the PIN screen to finish painting (it is drawn by the OS on top of
the webview regardless).

Canonicalize the prompt onto the splash:

- /login no longer calls authenticate() at all. It is now purely the PIN
  fallback, reached only once the splash's prompt was declined, failed,
  or was never available.
- The splash no longer hands a deep-link launch straight to /login.
  Doing so unmounted the only screen allowed to prompt, which made a
  deep-link launch PIN-only by construction. It now prompts first and
  lets continueAfterSuccessfulAuth collect the parked payload.
- The deep-link handler must not navigate away from whoever owns the
  prompt. That decision moves into shouldRedirectToLogin() so it can be
  tested directly rather than living inline in the layout.
- Drop the biometricAttemptedOnSplash handshake flag, which existed only
  to stop the second prompt site from re-prompting.

Behaviour is otherwise unchanged. Successful biometrics still skip the
PIN screen entirely, and a user without biometrics enrolled still falls
through to /login instead of being stuck on the splash.
Approving a deep-link login calls openUrl, which restarts the Activity.
The confirmation card is restored from durable storage so it survives
that restart. But if the user taps Ok during the short window BEFORE the
restart lands, the rebuilt webview reloads /scan-qr with the payload
suppressed (the request is handled) and the confirmation already
consumed (takeCompletedDeepLink is single-use). It then took the "no
deep link data" branch and started the camera — a scanner the user never
asked for.

The original code had no concept of a completed deep link at all: its Ok
handler was just goto("/main"), and an Activity restart simply destroyed
the confirmation and dropped the user on the camera. The concept exists
because that lost the screen entirely. What was missing is that the
record has two consumers, and only one of them means "the user is done".

takeCompletedDeepLink now takes an `acknowledged` flag. Rendering the
card consumes the record without marking it answered; tapping Ok records
the dismissal, and a webview rebuilt shortly after returns to /main
instead of opening the camera. The marker is written before the
single-use read, or the restore path (which consumed the record when it
rendered) would never record the dismissal at all.

The marker is bounded by the same replay window as the dedupe guard, is
cleared on logout, and is cleared by any in-app navigation to /scan-qr.
That last part is what keeps it honest: it can only ever suppress a
webview rebuild, which fires no navigation hook, and never a scan the
user deliberately asked for.
The splash blocks on initialDeepLinkReady before it may show the
biometric prompt. That gate was added to fix the cold-start race, but it
was placed at the END of a serial chain in the root layout:

    await checkStatus()          plugin IPC
    await GlobalState.create()   disk-backed store load
    await import(deep-link)      dynamic chunk
    await onOpenUrl() / getCurrent()
    -> resolveInitialDeepLink()

So every launch paid for the biometry probe and the store load before
the prompt could appear, even though deep-link discovery needs neither:
handleDeepLink and parseDeepLink touch neither globalState nor
runtime.biometry.

Two changes, both ordering only:

- Deep-link discovery starts immediately, concurrently with the rest of
  onMount, so the gate resolves as soon as getCurrent() returns.
- GlobalState.create() no longer waits for checkStatus(). The probe's
  only product is runtime.biometry, which nothing reads back today, and
  globalState is what the splash actually polls for.

The invariants the deep-link fix depends on are unchanged: onOpenUrl is
still registered before getCurrent(), so a URL cannot fall into a gap
between them, and resolveInitialDeepLink() still runs in a finally, so
the gate opens even when the plugin import fails.
The consent screen disappeared again on fast authentication, the
original bug this branch exists to fix. The cause was the ownership rule
added when the biometric prompt was canonicalized onto the splash:

    if (promptInFlight) return false;
    if (currentPath === "/") return false;   // <- wrong
    return true;

Inferring "the splash owns the prompt" from the pathname is not sound.
SvelteKit navigation is asynchronous, so location.pathname is still "/"
for as long as a goto() takes to land. After continueAfterSuccessfulAuth
collected the payload, released the prompt bracket and called
goto("/scan-qr"), a duplicate delivery arriving in that window saw
pathname "/" and deferred to an owner that had already finished. The
payload stayed parked, nobody collected it, and the consent screen never
appeared. Authenticating slowly moved the delivery out of that window,
which is why it only reproduced on fast authentication.

Ownership is now an explicit claim. The splash claims it before awaiting
deep-link discovery (a URL delivered during that await must already see
an owner) and releases it in a finally covering every exit path:
success, cancel, failure, or a superseded continuation. On success the
release happens only after continueAfterSuccessfulAuth has awaited its
goto to completion, so there is no window where the payload is collected
but ownership has lapsed.

shouldRedirectToLogin no longer takes a path at all, so the unsound
inference cannot be reintroduced by accident.
Two symptoms, one cause: the consent screen vanished on fast
authentication, and the launch sometimes went straight to the PIN pad
without offering biometrics at all.

The ownership claim added in the previous commit ran far too late. It
sat after the splash's 800ms + 400ms intro, the globalState poll and
three store reads — well over a second after mount. But the deep link is
delivered from the root layout's onMount, which runs inside that window.

So on a cold start via deep link the handler saw no prompt in flight and
no ownership claim, concluded nobody would route the payload, and
navigated to /login. That unmounted the splash before it could prompt.
Since /login is now PIN-only, the user got the PIN pad instead of
biometrics, and the parked payload was left for a screen that no longer
routes it.

The claim is now written synchronously at component init, before any
await, so it is in place before the layout's onMount can deliver
anything. Released on every exit that does not authenticate: no PIN set,
first-time user, and via onDestroy for any teardown. The success path
still releases only after continueAfterSuccessfulAuth has awaited its
goto, so the payload is always collected first.

skipIntro (backward nav from /onboarding) never claims: it is an
ordinary in-app navigation that does not authenticate.
…return

Approving a deep-link login, spending a while on the platform in the
browser, then tapping Ok before the Activity restart landed re-opened the
consent drawer on the login that had just been completed.

The replay-suppression window was measured from the wrong instant.
HANDLED_AT is stamped when the user APPROVES, which is before the openUrl
handoff, the time spent on the platform, and the Activity restart on the
way back. A leisurely round-trip outlives the 30s window, so when the
plugin replayed the original intent, isDuplicateDelivery saw an expired
marker, treated it as a genuine new request, and re-stored the payload.
The logs show exactly that: "Deep link received" is followed by "Found
deep link data" for the session that had already been consumed.

Tapping Ok now also refreshes HANDLED_AT, so suppression is measured from
the dismissal rather than the approval. The URL is unchanged across the
round-trip, so refreshing the timestamp is enough to identify it; a
genuinely new request carries a different `session`.

Deliberately narrow, so the behaviours fixed earlier still hold:

- Only the Ok handler passes acknowledged=true, so a request the user has
  NOT answered is untouched and a rebuilt webview can still reopen it.
- The refresh is conditional on a handled URL already existing, so
  rendering a restored confirmation does not start suppressing anything.
- Suppression still expires, so presenting the same offer URI later is
  still honoured as the new request it is.
Declining the first Approve/Decline prompt made the next attempt at the
same link fail the way the original bug did: no consent screen, straight
to /main.

Decline recorded the URL as handled DURABLY. That marker exists for one
purpose: surviving the Activity restart that happens when approving hands
off to the browser via openUrl. Declining never leaves the app, so no
restart is coming and there is nothing to survive. The marker just
outlived the decision and swallowed the retry for 30 seconds — and
because platforms mint one `session` per offer rather than per launch,
the retry URL is byte-identical, so isDuplicateDelivery dropped it and
the payload was never stored.

markDeepLinkHandled now takes a `durable` flag:

- approve via openUrl keeps the durable marker (a real Activity restart
  follows, and the replay must be suppressed across webviews)
- decline, and the scan path that POSTs from inside the app, mark
  session-scoped only, which still collapses Android's getCurrent() /
  onOpenUrl double delivery within the current webview

Verified by probe against the real module: before, a decline followed by
a fresh webview reported the retry as a duplicate; after, it is accepted.

Records the architecture before and after the cold-start deep-link work:
what the pre-branch flow did, where it raced, what replaced it, how data
moves through each version, and the reason behind every change on the
branch. Also records the known limitations, including that the unit tests
pin the deepLinkFlow module's semantics but cannot reach the Svelte call
sites, so device testing remains the only real proof.
