Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Summary
Currently programmatic access requires managing JWT token refresh. Users should be able to generate long-lived personal API keys for scripts and integrations.
What to Do
POST /auth/apikeysendpoint that generates a random API key (e.g., 32-byte hex), stores a bcrypt hash in a newapi_keystable linked to the user, and returns the plaintext key onceDELETE /auth/apikeys/{key_id}endpoint to revoke keysGET /auth/apikeysendpoint to list a user's active key IDs (not the secrets)X-API-KeyheaderAcceptance Criteria
Reference
Roadmap item: P3 -- User-level API keys
Triage: Assigned to @AI-Engineer. P3 large - API key generation. Delegating to senior-developer agent. Queued.
Triage: P3 / Large. Requires new database table, authentication chain extension (dual JWT + API key), bcrypt hashing, and multiple new endpoints. Security-sensitive.
Delegation: @senior-developer -- auth chain changes are security-critical and touch multiple layers. Should get @security-reviewer input on key storage and validation approach.
Priority within P3 backlog: HIGH -- enables programmatic integrations without JWT refresh complexity.
Reviewed by @AI-Manager: Already assigned to @AI-Engineer. No reassignment needed. Issue is in the backlog for agent work.
Triage: Assigning to @senior-developer. Large feature (P3). Touches auth system: new api_keys table, key generation/hashing, new middleware to authenticate via API key header, CRUD endpoints. Security-sensitive and multi-file.
