Improve the first connection page
Status: approved, not yet implemented.
Problem
docs/IDEAS.md backlog item: "improve first connection page: in
CreateProfile.tsx, in addition to the display name, we should directly ask
garmin login/password and manage MFA from there, so the synchronization
experience in profile page will be easier later on".
Today, CreateProfile.tsx only asks for a display name (POST /api/setup)
and drops the user straight into the main app -- Garmin credentials are
filled in later, whenever the user happens to visit the Profile page. This
means a brand-new account can sit around fully "set up" but never actually
synced, with no prompt nudging the user to connect Garmin.
Design
Scope decision: mandatory, persisted gate
Connecting Garmin becomes a hard requirement to enter the app, enforced
on every login, not just the first one -- confirmed explicitly, including
the corollary that this can't be a purely in-session check: account
provisioning (POST /api/setup) must happen before Garmin login can even be
attempted (the per-user Garmin client is keyed by an already-existing
account), so a user who abandons the flow mid-connect already has a
users/profile row. Enforcing the gate on every subsequent login (not
just immediately after signup) requires a persisted "has this account ever
successfully connected" flag -- the in-memory Server.userAuthStatus map
resets on every backend restart and can't be trusted for this.
Also confirmed: both CreateProfile and the new gate screen get a "Log out"
link (neither has one today), since a mandatory gate a user can get
genuinely stuck on (no Garmin credentials handy right now) needs an escape
hatch back to the login screen.
Data model
schema.sql, profile table -- one new nullable column:
-- Set once, the first time this user successfully authenticates with
-- Garmin (handleAuthLogin/handleAuthMFA). Null means never connected --
-- the login gate uses this (not the in-memory auth status, which
-- resets on restart) to decide whether a returning user must
-- reconnect before entering the app.
garmin_connected_at TEXT,
store.Profile gets a matching GarminConnectedAt *string field (same
nullable-TEXT-pointer pattern as sync_state.EarliestSyncedDate).
New store method (internal/store/users.go or a new small file, e.g.
profile.go wherever UpdateProfile/GetProfile already live):
// MarkGarminConnected records the first time userID successfully
// authenticates with Garmin. A no-op if already set, so it always reflects
// the first connection, not the most recent one.
func (db *DB) MarkGarminConnected(ctx context.Context, userID int64) error
Implemented as UPDATE profile SET garmin_connected_at = datetime('now') WHERE user_id = ? AND garmin_connected_at IS NULL.
After the schema edit, regenerate docs/DATABASE.md via go run ./cmd/dumpschema (per project convention).
Backend API
handleAuthLogin/handleAuthMFA(internal/api/auth.go): right after the existings.recordAuthResult(userID, res)call, ifres.Status == garmin.AuthSuccess, calls.DB.MarkGarminConnected(r.Context(), userID). A failure here is logged and does not fail the HTTP response -- the Garmin authentication itself already succeeded; failing to persist the flag is a non-fatal side effect (the next successful login attempt would just set it then).sessionMeResponse(internal/api/session.go): addGarminConnected bool \json:"garmin_connected"``.handleSessionMe: when the session already has a profile, fetch it (s.DB.GetProfile) and setresp.GarminConnected = profile.GarminConnectedAt != nil.- No other endpoint changes. The new frontend screen calls the exact same
PUT /api/profile,POST /api/auth/login,POST /api/auth/mfathe existing Profile page already uses.
Frontend flow
types/api.ts:SessionInfogainsgarmin_connected: boolean.LoginGate.tsx: becomes a three-way fork instead of two:!authenticated -> login screen authenticated && !has_profile -> CreateProfile authenticated && has_profile && !garmin_connected -> ConnectGarmin authenticated && has_profile && garmin_connected -> AppCreateProfile.onCreatedand the newConnectGarmin.onConnectedboth just flip the relevant boolean in the localsessionstate object (same patternhas_profilealready uses).CreateProfile.tsx: behavior unchanged (display name ->POST /api/setup); it's simply no longer the last screen. Gains a "Log out" link (<form method="post" action="{BASE_URL}/api/session/logout">, same pattern asApp.tsx's header).- New
frontend/src/ConnectGarmin.tsx: a dedicated, self-contained onboarding screen (not a reuse ofGarminConnection.tsx, to avoid coupling that shared Profile-page component to an onboarding-only special case):- Email + password fields.
- "Connect" button:
PUT /api/profile(persist credentials into the profile row created by setup) thenPOST /api/auth/login. - If the result is
mfa_required, show an MFA code field ->POST /api/auth/mfa. - On
authenticated, show a brief confirmation and a "Continue to geniusrun" button that callsonConnected()-- no sync is auto-triggered here; the existing background incremental-sync loop and the Profile page's "Sync now" handle actual data fetching, keeping this screen scoped to connecting only. - On
failed(wrong password, Garmin unreachable, rate-limited), show the returned message and leave the fields editable for a retry -- never a dead end. - Also gains a "Log out" link.
Error handling
- Wrong credentials / Garmin down / rate-limited: surfaced via the same
authResponse.messagefieldGarminConnection.tsxalready displays; fields stay editable, retry is always available. MarkGarminConnectedDB failure: logged server-side, never surfaced to the user and never fails the auth response (see Backend API above).- Abandoning the flow (closing the tab) leaves the account provisioned but
not connected -- the next login re-enters at
ConnectGarmin(that's the whole point of persisting the flag), not atCreateProfileagain.
Testing
internal/store:MarkGarminConnectedsets the timestamp exactly once (a second call is a no-op, preserving the first-connection time); adversarial isolation test that marking user A connected never affects user B'sGarminConnectedAt.internal/api:POST /api/auth/login(viamock.ClientreturningAuthSuccess) followed byGET /api/session/mereportsgarmin_connected: true; anmfa_requiredorfailedresult does not set it; a freshly provisioned user (vianewTestServer, no Garmin attempt yet) reportsgarmin_connected: false.- No frontend test suite exists yet (per
CLAUDE.md) -- manual smoke test: fresh account -> display name -> forced intoConnectGarmin-> wrong password shows an error and allows retry -> correct password (or MFA) resolved -> lands in<App>-> log out -> log back in with the same account -> confirm it goes straight to<App>(not back throughConnectGarmin), provinggarmin_connected_atactually persisted.
Out of scope
- Auto-triggering a first sync from
ConnectGarmin-- deferred to the existing "Sync now" / background incremental-sync mechanisms. - Any "reconnect required" re-gating if Garmin credentials later go stale (e.g. password changed on Garmin's side) -- this feature only covers the first-ever successful connection; subsequent reconnects still go through the normal Profile page flow.
- Combining the display-name and Garmin-credential steps into a single form/request -- kept as two sequential screens since Garmin login requires an already-provisioned account (see Scope decision above).
