fix(auth): don't block existing OAuth users when ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false

[lindesvard]

Fixes #363.

The problem

signInOAuth gated on getIsRegistrationAllowed() before redirecting to the IdP. At that point the server has no identity for the caller — it can't tell a returning user from a new sign-up — so with ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false it rejected every OAuth sign-in, including users with a fully populated User + Account row.

That's a hard lockout, not just "signups are blocked". Those users can't fall back to anything:

• signInEmail → getUserAccount(email, provider: 'email') → "User does not exist" (OAuth users have no email account row).
• requestResetPassword → also provider: 'email' only → returns true without sending anything (anti-enumeration), so the user waits for a link that never arrives.

The only thing keeping them signed in is the session cookie. Once it expires they need operator DB access to get back in.

The fix

Move the check to the one place where we actually know the user is new — handleNewUser in the OAuth callback, just before db.user.create.

• signInOAuth no longer gates. Comment left explaining why, so it doesn't get "fixed" back.
• getIsRegistrationAllowed moves from packages/trpc/src/routers/auth.ts into packages/db/src/services/registration.service.ts, so the tRPC router and the API controller share one implementation instead of the controller inlining a copy.
• signUpEmail keeps its upfront check — that request explicitly declares a sign-up, so gating early is correct there.

Policy semantics are unchanged. First-user bootstrap, ALLOW_INVITATION=false, and ALLOW_REGISTRATION all behave exactly as before; only the enforcement point moved.

Behaviour with ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false, ALLOW_INVITATION=true

Case	Before	After
Existing OAuth user signs in	❌ Registrations are not allowed before IdP redirect	✅ signed in
Invited user returns after first login (invite consumed)	❌ locked out	✅ signed in
New user with valid invite	✅ created	✅ created, attached to org
New user, no invite	❌ blocked at tRPC	❌ /login?error=Registrations+are+not+allowed, no User row
First-ever user (0 rows)	✅	✅

With ALLOW_REGISTRATION=true: unchanged.

Tests

New packages/db/src/services/registration.service.test.ts covers all seven branches of the policy (cloud/unset, first-user bootstrap, no-invite block, valid invite, unknown invite, ALLOW_INVITATION=false, open registration). All pass.

tsc --noEmit on @openpanel/db, @openpanel/trpc and apps/api reports no new errors — the remaining ones are pre-existing in notification.service.ts, insights/store.ts and apps/api/src/utils/auth.ts, identical on a clean tree.

Note on #406

PR #406 targets the same issue but only deletes the gate from signInOAuth without re-adding it at the callback, so ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false would stop blocking OAuth signups entirely. It also drops the ALLOW_INVITATION === 'false' branch, which changes policy semantics unrelated to this bug.

Not included

The issue's adjacent UX nit — OAuth buttons rendering unconditionally on _login.login.tsx even when the provider env vars are unset — is left for a separate change, as suggested in the issue.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added registration eligibility checks for new OAuth sign-ins.
  • Cloud environments allow registration automatically.
  • Self-hosted environments support first-user registration, invitation validation, and configurable registration settings.
  • Users cannot create accounts when registration is disabled or an invitation is invalid.

• Bug Fixes

  • Existing users can continue signing in through OAuth without being affected by registration restrictions.
  • OAuth registration checks now occur during account creation, preventing unnecessary sign-in interruptions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes registration eligibility in the database package. OAuth sign-in defers registration checks until the callback identifies a new user. Existing OAuth users continue through the existing-user flow.

Changes

OAuth registration policy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Registration eligibility service packages/db/src/services/registration.service.ts, packages/db/index.ts, packages/db/src/services/registration.service.test.ts	Adds and exports getIsRegistrationAllowed. The tests cover cloud defaults, first-user creation, invitation validation, disabled registration, and enabled self-hosted registration.
OAuth gating deferral packages/trpc/src/routers/auth.ts	Imports the shared service and removes the registration check before OAuth redirection.
Callback registration enforcement apps/api/src/controllers/oauth-callback.controller.tsx	Checks registration eligibility before creating a new OAuth user. Disallowed registrations log only provider and invite context. Existing users remain on the existing-user path.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 26994

The change correctly moves OAuth registration enforcement to the callback, but concurrent first-user requests may still bypass disabled-registration policy, and rejected OAuth attempts may log sensitive identity and invite data. These bounded correctness and privacy risks require explicit owner follow-up before merge.

Do not log the OAuth user or raw invite identifier for denied registration.

The callback catch blocks log this LogError, and LogError preserves its payload. This new payload adds the OAuth identifier, email, names, and inviteId to application logs when registration is denied.

Log only the provider and an opaque correlation value. Hash an identifier if support staff need to correlate failures.
