…ample naming Okta Follow-up to #119, from adversarially verifying it. Its measured claims held — tsc, jest, build, 163/163 Playwright in CI shape and 33/33 with Cognito on all reproduce exactly. Two things did not. ## The `basename` control did not exist #119 said, in the PR body and in two source comments, that `institution-mark.test.ts` "plants a real file exactly where a `basename` implementation would land and proves it is still refused." Measured: it does not. Replacing the whitelist in `institutionAssetUrl` with `path.basename` leaves all nine tests green. The reasoning behind it was backwards too. `path.basename("../simon-ose")` is `"simon-ose"`, which resolves INSIDE the brand directory — a miss, not "quietly a hit". The planted file sits in the PARENT, which is where an UNGUARDED implementation lands; that test is a real control against deleting the guard (verified: deleting it turns that test red) and no control at all against the alternative it named. The whitelist is still the right guard, for a reason worth stating correctly and one that matters more in a product with more than one tenant: basename does not refuse a malformed slug, it rewrites it into a different valid one. `../tenure` becomes `tenure`, finds `tenure.svg` sitting in the same directory, and returns it — so a cell whose slug arrived malformed would serve ANOTHER TENANT'S MARK on its own login page, successfully, with nothing broken to notice. So: both comments corrected to say what is true, and the missing control added. All three states run, not reasoned about: guard deleted both tests red guard -> basename cross-tenant red, traversal GREEN guard as written 10/10 green The cross-tenant test is therefore the strictly stronger of the two and the traversal test cannot stand in for it. Both are kept because they fail for different reasons and name different risks — one escapes the directory, the other stays inside it and serves the wrong institution. ## `.env.example` documented an identity provider the app cannot use It declared `OKTA_ISSUER`, `OKTA_CLIENT_ID` and `OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET` and said setting all three "switches the app to Okta". Nothing has ever read an `OKTA_*` variable — `src/lib/env.ts` does not declare one — so an operator following the only sign-in template in the repository would have set three values, restarted, found the interim passphrase form still sitting there, and had no name to grep for. The four variables that actually do it were not in the file at all. Replaced with the `COGNITO_*` block, which is what `cognitoConfigFromEnv` and `env.ts` read. Deleted rather than commented out, because a commented-out variable is something an operator uncomments. `COGNITO_REGION` is left empty: `AWS_REGION` is already set in this file and is the documented fallback, and filling it in would trip the partial-configuration warning on every local boot (verified — that warning fires today). No behaviour change: `InstitutionMark.tsx` is comment-only. Gate, re-run in full after the change: npx tsc --noEmit pass npx jest 122 suites, 1874 passed, 1 skipped npm run build pass playwright 168/168 CI shape; 33/33 with COGNITO_* set Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

COGNITO_REGION as unset by using a truthiness fallback to AWS_REGION, keeping it
consistent with the readiness check. Add or update coverage for an empty
COGNITO_REGION value to verify AWS_REGION is selected.
In `@apps/web/src/components/brand/InstitutionMark.tsx`:
- Around line 62-64: Update the explanatory comment in InstitutionMark so it
accurately states that path.basename("../simon-ose") produces "simon-ose" and
can match an existing file under dir, rather than inherently being a miss;
retain the intended security rationale without claiming basename prevents
traversal.

Treat an empty COGNITO_REGION as unset. With COGNITO_REGION="", ?? passes an empty region while the readiness check falls back to AWS_REGION. Use env.COGNITO_REGION || env.AWS_REGION and add an empty-region test.

Follow-up to #119, produced by adversarially verifying it. Most of what #119 claimed held under
re-measurement; two things did not, and this fixes those. No behaviour changes.
What reproduced
I rebuilt the tree from
origin/mainin a clean worktree and re-ran everything.tsc --noEmitpassjestgreennpm run buildpassCOGNITO_*setgrep -rn "Student Experience"→ zeropublic/brand/holds onlyREADME.md;/brand/simon-ose.svg→ 404<img src="/brand/simon-ose.svg" alt="Simon Business School">, deleted itIts jest figure (109 suites / 1657) reads low only because
maingained #94 between that run andthe squash-merge: 105 test files at the branch tip, 115 after. Both numbers are honest.
1. The
basenamecontrol did not exist#119 states, in its body and in two source comments, that
institution-mark.test.tsIt does not. Replacing the whitelist in
institutionAssetUrlwithpath.basenameleaves allnine tests green.
The reasoning was backwards too.
path.basename("../simon-ose")is"simon-ose", which resolvesinside the brand directory — a miss, not "quietly a hit". The planted file sits in the
parent, which is where an unguarded implementation lands. So that test is a real control
against deleting the guard, and no control at all against the alternative it named.
The whitelist is still right, for a reason worth stating correctly — and one that matters more in a
product with more than one tenant. Basename does not refuse a malformed slug, it rewrites it
into a different valid one.
../tenurebecomestenure, findstenure.svgsitting in the samedirectory, and returns it: a cell whose slug arrived malformed would serve another tenant's mark
on its own login page, successfully, with nothing broken to notice.
Both comments now say that, and the missing control is added:
path.basenameEvery row was run, not reasoned about — including after the rebase, against the exact code in this PR.
The cross-tenant test is therefore the strictly stronger of the two, and the traversal test
cannot stand in for it. Both are kept because they fail for different reasons and name different
risks: one escapes the directory, the other stays inside it and serves the wrong institution.
(An earlier revision of this PR body had
deleted → cross-tenant greenin that table. I had notrun that cell when I wrote it. It is red, because the
./tenurecase lands on the planted fileunder both wrong implementations. Correcting it here rather than leaving it, since an unverified
control claim is the exact thing this PR exists to fix.)
2.
.env.exampledocumented an identity provider the app cannot useIt declared
OKTA_ISSUER,OKTA_CLIENT_IDandOKTA_CLIENT_SECRETand said setting all three"switches the app to Okta". Nothing has ever read an
OKTA_*variable —src/lib/env.tsdoesnot declare one. An operator following the only sign-in template in the repository would have set
three values, restarted, found the interim passphrase form still sitting there, and had no name to
grep for. The four variables that actually do it were missing from the file entirely.
Replaced with the
COGNITO_*block thatcognitoConfigFromEnvandenv.tsactually read. Deletedrather than commented out, because a commented-out variable is something an operator uncomments.
COGNITO_REGIONis left empty on purpose:AWS_REGIONis already set in this file and is thedocumented fallback, and filling it in would trip the partial-configuration warning on every local
boot (verified — that warning fires today).
Security probes I ran against a live server, since #119 restructured the refusal
The comment on
SignInAlertclaims one message for every failure so the cohort cannot beenumerated. I replayed the sign-in server action 480 times at the HTTP level rather than reading it.
Without the passphrase, there is no enumeration channel — known and unknown addresses are
indistinguishable by status, redirect, body length and timing:
/signin?error=1&callbackUrl=%2FdashboardΔp50 = 0.08 ms, Welch t = 0.98 — nothing. The claim holds.
Two measured properties that are not introduced here and are out of scope for this PR, recorded
so they are written down somewhere:

single shared secret standing in front of ~82 people, and it is an argument for Remove dev-login: Cognito is the only authentication provider #112 landing
