Hono Dashboard Auth Seam

Audit the Hono dashboard authentication seam by inspecting middleware usage, route protection, and session handling to verify login/logout flows and password gate presence. It validates server-enforced middleware, httpOnly session cookies, and protection across HTML, API, and SSE routes.

Securing a single-operator Hono dashboard with SQLite involves implementing a server-enforced middleware seam over per-route checks. This approach validates login/logout flows, opaque session management, and opt-in dashboard configurations across different environments.

Yes, the Hono dashboard auth audit confirms the scope of configuration loading for DASHBOARD_AUTH_MODE, DASHBOARD_AUTH_USERNAME, DASHBOARD_AUTH_PASSWORD, DASHBOARD_SESSION_COOKIE, and DASHBOARD_SESSION_TTL_HOURS to ensure startup config properly loads dashboard authentication settings.

Test Hono dashboard login flows and route redirects by verifying that existing tests exercise redirects, configuration loading, and end-to-end login flows. The audit confirms a dashboard_sessions persistence layer exists and tests cover single-operator local login behavior.

A Hono middleware seam fails to protect API and SSE routes when per-route checks are used instead of server-enforced middleware. The audit verifies correct middleware application across HTML, API, and SSE routes, ensuring consistent session validation and password gate enforcement.

Yes, a dashboard_sessions persistence layer is required for Hono auth. The audit ensures this SQLite persistence layer exists to support opaque session management, httpOnly session cookies, and proper login/logout state tracking for the single-operator dashboard.
