Review: PR#10 — Set Secure flag on session cookie in production mode
Overall: Clean security hardening. Correct and straightforward.
Positives
Secure: !params.Config.Debug is a clean one-liner that ties the flag to the existing debug config.
Good that debug mode still works over HTTP for local development.
Test verifies the Secure flag is set when Debug: false.
Observations
Missing negative test: The test only checks Debug: false → Secure: true. A companion test for Debug: true → Secure: false would complete the coverage and prevent regressions.
Cookie name hardcoded in test: The test searches for "upaas_session" by string literal. If the cookie name changes, this test would silently pass (no cookie found → require.NotNil catches it, so actually this is fine).
SameSite: Lax + Secure: Good combination. Lax allows top-level navigations while Secure ensures HTTPS-only transmission.
Test setup verbosity: The test duplicates a lot of service initialization code. Consider extracting a helper (similar to setupTestService but with configurable Debug flag) to reduce duplication if more auth tests are added.
## Review: PR#10 — Set Secure flag on session cookie in production mode
**Overall: Clean security hardening. Correct and straightforward.**
### Positives
- `Secure: !params.Config.Debug` is a clean one-liner that ties the flag to the existing debug config.
- Good that debug mode still works over HTTP for local development.
- Test verifies the Secure flag is set when `Debug: false`.
### Observations
1. **Missing negative test**: The test only checks `Debug: false` → `Secure: true`. A companion test for `Debug: true` → `Secure: false` would complete the coverage and prevent regressions.
2. **Cookie name hardcoded in test**: The test searches for `"upaas_session"` by string literal. If the cookie name changes, this test would silently pass (no cookie found → `require.NotNil` catches it, so actually this is fine).
3. **`SameSite: Lax` + `Secure`**: Good combination. Lax allows top-level navigations while Secure ensures HTTPS-only transmission.
4. **Test setup verbosity**: The test duplicates a lot of service initialization code. Consider extracting a helper (similar to `setupTestService` but with configurable `Debug` flag) to reduce duplication if more auth tests are added.
**Verdict: Approve.** Simple, correct security improvement.
