www

The public web frontend — the repo's first browser-facing worker (every other app is a backend service). A React SPA (built with Vite) for creating an account and setting/resetting its email and password, served by a Hono worker.

Architecture

www is a backend-for-frontend (BFF). The browser only ever talks to www; www forwards to the auth and accounts workers server-side. This keeps the account JWT off other origins and sidesteps CORS (those workers set no CORS headers).

  • React SPA (src/client/, entry index.htmlsrc/client/main.tsx) is built by Vite into dist/client and served via the ASSETS binding, with not_found_handling: single-page-application for client-side routes.
  • Worker (src/www.app.ts) exposes the /api/* BFF routes and falls back to the static assets for everything else.

Upstream hosts are derived from the shared base domain (auth.<DOMAIN>, accounts.<DOMAIN>), where DOMAIN is injected at deploy time (see run-wrangler-deploy). For local dev/preview, point the DOMAIN var in wrangler.jsonc at a deployed domain so the BFF can reach those workers.

BFF endpoints

Method Path Upstream
GET /api/config none — whether signup is open, plus the Turnstile key
POST /api/signup auth POST /connect/token (grant_type=create_account)
POST /api/login auth POST /connect/token (username + password)
POST /api/logout clears the session cookie
GET /api/me accounts GET /account/me
POST /api/email accounts POST /account/me/email
POST /api/password auth POST /account/me/changepassword

On signup/login the access token returned by auth is stored in an httpOnly rf_token cookie; the other routes read it and forward it as a Bearer token.

/api/signup also takes an optional email, saved with a second call to accounts POST /account/me/email once the session exists — create_account has no email field, the accounts worker owns it. The address is format-checked before the account is created, since a rejection afterwards would leave a player with an account whose email silently didn't save; a failure of the save itself is logged and does not fail the signup, because by then the account is real and a retry would spend another slot against auth's per-IP cap.

Signup and Turnstile

POST /api/signup creates an account with no platform identity (a password account), so it's the one BFF route a bot could farm — auth binds no Steam id to it and only its coarse per-IP cap applies. It therefore runs behind a Turnstile check: the browser posts the widget's token, and the worker verifies it against Turnstile's siteverify server-side before calling auth. The secret key never leaves the worker, and the browser never talks to siteverify itself.

Two Secrets Store secrets configure it, TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY and TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY, bound from the same account-level store every worker uses for JWT_SECRET (see wrangler.jsonc and src/turnstile.ts) — the site key is public, but keeping it with its secret makes the pair the single switch. Creating both is what opens signup; if either fails to resolve, /api/config reports signupEnabled: false (so the SPA shows sign-in only) and /api/signup returns 403, so an unconfigured worker serves no signup rather than an unprotected one. A store read that throws is treated the same as a missing key — /api/config is on the homepage's critical path and must not 500 when signup isn't set up.

Because .get() caches per isolate, changing either value in the store needs a www redeploy before a warm worker picks it up.

For local dev, seed the two names into the local store (miniflare's, keyed by the literal local store id — it is per-directory, so run these in apps/www) with Turnstile's documented always-passes test keypair, which needs no widget and no account:

printf '1x00000000000000000000AA' |
  wrangler secrets-store secret create local --name TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY --scopes workers
printf '1x0000000000000000000000000000000AA' |
  wrangler secrets-store secret create local --name TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY --scopes workers

The tests seed the same pair into their own local store in beforeAll.

Benefits claim and Discord

The Claim benefits tab on the account page lets a player prove they hold one of the qualifying roles in the community Discord and, if they do, gives their account Rec Room Plus (account.hasPlus). The same panel also renders at /claim, which is the app's registered redirect_uri — Discord sends the browser back there mid-flow, so that route has to keep working on a cold load even though nothing links to it. It runs a standard OAuth2 authorization code flow:

  1. The tab sends the browser to Discord's consent screen, using the URL www assembles in /api/config plus a state nonce the page mints and stashes in sessionStorage.
  2. Discord redirects back to /claim?code=…&state=…. The page checks the nonce is the one it minted, strips the query, and posts only the code to POST /api/benefits/claim with the player's bearer token.
  3. The worker swaps the code for an access token with the client secret, reads GET /users/@me/guilds/{guild}/member to get the player's roles, revokes the token, and — if any one of the configured roles is there — writes hasPlus onto the account and links the Discord id.

A claim takes effect on the player's next sign-in, not immediately. auth stamps hasPlus into every token it mints as the rn.plus claim, and econ decides the CampusCard and the subscriber discount from that claim alone — no database read on either path. The token the player's game is holding was minted before they claimed, it lasts a day, and the client never refreshes it, so they have to restart Rec Room and sign in again. The claim page says so.

The browser never holds a Discord access token: the client secret can't ship to a page, which is why this is the second feature (after signup) with a server side. The scopes are identify and guilds.members.read, which let the token's owner read their own membership in one guild — so no bot is needed and this worker holds no credential that could read anyone else's roles.

The verified Discord id is stored as a link in platform_account (the auth worker's table of account ↔ external identities, migration 0007) under PlatformType.Discord (101) — the same place a Steam or Meta identity lives, because that is what it is. Only hasPlus goes on the account itself.

Nobody logs in with it. auth's verifyPlatformProof can prove exactly two platforms (Steam and Meta), so a cached_login naming 101 is refused outright, and the login picker filters to those same platforms (CACHED_LOGIN_PLATFORMS). That filter matters for privacy as well as correctness: the picker is public and unauthenticated, so without it GET /cachedlogin/forplatformid/101/<snowflake> would tell anyone which RecFlare account a given Discord user owns.

Storing the link there is what makes the claim once-only per Discord user, not per account: a second claim from the same Discord member on a different account is refused (409), answered from the table's index rather than a scan of every account blob. Re-claiming on the same account is idempotent — the link is INSERT OR IGNORE, so linkedAt keeps the first claim's time — so the page is safe to reload. Nothing revokes Plus: losing the role later leaves the flag set, so it records "held the role once", not "holds it today".

Four settings configure it, and all four are required or the claim stays closed (/api/config reports benefitsEnabled: false, so the SPA hides the tab, and /api/benefits/claim returns 403). A half-configured app is treated as unconfigured on purpose: a client id and secret with no guild/roles would authenticate a player and have no question left to ask about them.

  • DISCORD_CLIENT_ID / DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET — Secrets Store, same account-level store as JWT_SECRET and the Turnstile pair. The id is public (it ships to the browser inside the authorize URL) but lives beside its secret so one place configures the feature.
  • DISCORD_GUILD_ID / DISCORD_BENEFITS_ROLE_IDS — plain vars in wrangler.jsonc, not credentials. Both hold Discord snowflakes: all digits, no letters. Turn on Developer Mode in Discord (Settings → Advanced), then right-click the server or the role and Copy ID. These are ids, not names — Supporter is what the role is called, 1077000000000000002 is what goes in the var — and they're quoted as strings because a snowflake is too large to survive as a JSON number.

DISCORD_BENEFITS_ROLE_IDS is a list, separated by commas and/or whitespace, so several tiers can qualify for the same benefit. Any one of them is enough — they are alternatives, not requirements:

"DISCORD_BENEFITS_ROLE_IDS": "1077000000000000001,1077000000000000002"

Blank entries are dropped, so a trailing comma is harmless. A value that parses to no ids at all counts as unset and closes the claim, rather than opening it with nothing to check against.

printf '<client id>' |
  wrangler secrets-store secret create <store-id> --name DISCORD_CLIENT_ID --scopes workers --remote
printf '<client secret>' |
  wrangler secrets-store secret create <store-id> --name DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET --scopes workers --remote

The two ids are not secrets, and setting only the secrets is the usual reason the page never appears. Put them in the root .env as operator knobs, where they ride along as --var on deploy (see recflare_vars), rather than editing wrangler.jsonc — that keeps your server's ids out of the repo:

RECFLARE_DISCORD_GUILD_ID=1077000000000000000
RECFLARE_DISCORD_BENEFITS_ROLE_IDS=1077000000000000001,1077000000000000002

Use commas with no spaces there. Those knobs become --var flags that the deploy script word-splits, so a value containing a space breaks it. (parseRoleIds also accepts whitespace, which is fine in wrangler.jsonc but not via .env.)

Then redeploy www — the Secrets Store .get() caches per isolate, so a warm worker won't pick up newly created secrets until it restarts.

Diagnosing a claim that won't appear: fetch /api/config. If benefitsEnabled is false, the gate is closed and it isn't a UI problem — www logs discord is half-configured, so benefit claims are closed with a flag per input (hasClientId, hasClientSecret, hasGuildId, roleIdCount), which names exactly which one is missing. wrangler tail www shows it.

In the Discord developer portal, add https://<your domain>/claim to the app's Redirects. It has to match byte for byte: www derives the redirect URI from the incoming request's own origin (never from the request body, which would turn the client secret into a redemption oracle for someone else's app), so add http://localhost:5173/claim too if you want the flow to work under pnpm turbo dev.
