fix(clerk-js,react,shared,ui): resume an OAuth transfer after a verification challenge by zourzouvillys · Pull Request #9497 · clerk/javascript

zourzouvillys · 2026-08-18T21:45:23Z

Description

Signing up with a social provider from the sign-in page works by transfer: the sign-in comes back with a transferable first-factor verification carrying external_account_not_found, and the client is expected to complete it as a sign-up with signUp.create({ transfer: true }).

That conversion lives in exactly one place — the linear branch list in _handleRedirectCallback. The verification-challenge check sits above the two transfer branches and returns early, so a challenged sign-in never evaluates them; and because the callback route is navigated away from, nothing re-runs the list.

SignInProtectCheck then routed onward with its own private switch, which enumerates the statuses an interactive sign-in can be in. A sign-in awaiting transfer is needs_identifier, which is not one of them, so it fell to default: and returned to the start of sign-in.

That is not merely a wrong destination. SignInStart displays external_account_not_found and then calls signIn.create({}) to stop the error surviving a page reload — which replaces the attempt and discards the transferable verification, the only reference to the pending transfer. The user is stranded permanently, and every retry reproduces the whole sequence.

The sign-up challenge card never had this problem: it delegates to completeSignUpFlow, the same router the callback itself uses, so it cannot drift from it. The sign-in card had a private copy.

One router, two entry points. _handleRedirectCallback takes a resuming flag that skips the two challenge short-circuits, exposed as clerk.__internal_resumeAfterProtectCheck(...). The challenge card's default: arm hands back to it rather than guessing a destination. No transfer routing is duplicated: transferable: false, the gated-transfer result, unsafeMetadata and finalisation on the after-sign-up URL are all still owned by the one router. The resumed continuation is re-authorised server-side, so the flag changes where the browser is sent, not what is permitted.

The pending transfer is latched at mount, before the challenge runs. SignIn.fromJSON replaces firstFactorVerification wholesale on every write, so a response that re-serializes the sign-in without it would erase the only marker distinguishing "a sign-up is in progress" from "an ordinary challenged sign-in". Re-reading it after the challenge would silently fall back to the broken path — there is a test for exactly that. The latch is defensive: fromJSON provably replaces the field, but a response that actually omits it was not observed, so this guards a shape the resource permits rather than one seen in the wild.

navigateNext moved into handleProtectCheck.ts, next to the helper that routes into the challenge. The gate has an entry choke point and an exit choke point; both now live in one file, and the exit is testable on its own. A new caller needs both — a card that enters through the helper and then hand-rolls its exit is the shape that caused this.

Two smaller fixes on the same path:

A stale or direct visit to /sign-in#/protect-check returned an empty card shell forever. It now returns to the start of the flow, which is what the sign-up card has always done.
SSOCallback's error handler could throw out of its own catch. handleError re-throws anything it does not recognise, and the callback's "did not complete" guards throw a plain Error — which it does not. That skipped both the message and the 4-second recovery, so the page sat on its spinner and the failure appeared only as an unhandled rejection. Every dead-end on this route was invisible for that reason.

Review

Reviewed by CodeRabbit, codex review, and a four-lens panel (challenge bypass, state-machine lifecycle, API surface and release, and a contrarian arguing the change is over-engineered), then a second codex review over the commits written in response to the first round. Every finding is either fixed below or declined with a reason. Each new guard was verified by breaking the code it protects and watching it go red, then restoring.

Fixed

The IsomorphicClerk wrapper threw on a runtime that predates the method (CodeRabbit). The wrapper is always defined, so it cannot itself signal whether the loaded clerk-js supports the call, and calling straight through raised a TypeError at a host caller rather than doing nothing. Presence-checked now, like __internal_windowNavigate beside it. The prebuilt UI is unaffected either way — clerk-js constructs it with the real Clerk, so its own feature check tests the object whose version can actually skew.
Two navigation assertions could never fail (CodeRabbit). navigate is called with a single argument on this path, and expect.anything() does not match a missing one, so not.toHaveBeenCalledWith(url, expect.anything()) was vacuously true whatever the code did — it would have passed through the regression it was written to catch. Both sites now inspect the first argument across the recorded calls.
A queued resume call could become an unhandled rejection (CodeRabbit). replayInterceptedInvocations invokes queued callbacks and discards what they return, so a rejection on the pre-load path had no caller left to reach. The handler now sits inside the shared callback, so the loaded and queued arms carry identical handling rather than two copies that can drift.
A newer @clerk/ui against an older runtime threw and stranded the transfer (codex, P2). @clerk/ui reaches apps independently of clerk-js, so the card can meet a runtime with no __internal_resumeAfterProtectCheck; the call was unconditional. It is now feature-detected and degrades to the previous destination instead of throwing.
IsomorphicClerk declared customNavigate but forwarded only params (codex P2; independently raised by the API panellist, who rated it major and silent rather than a compile error). A call through ClerkProvider fell back to Clerk.navigate, which resolves component-relative destinations against the origin — the hazard this PR avoided __internal_handleResourceCallback for in the first place. It is accepted and forwarded, as __internal_handleResourceCallback does.
A failed continuation left the card permanently inert (state-machine panellist, blocker). handleError re-throws what it does not recognise, and the continuation can raise a plain Error — a transient fetch failure, or a callback that did not complete. That throw escaped the void-invoked challenge run, leaving no spinner, no message and no retry. Both reporting sites in useProtectCheckRunner are now guarded at the chokepoint, which also covers the sign-up card and every other error onResolved can raise.
A superseded SSOCallback run could schedule a stale bounce (state-machine panellist, then codex on the fix). The cleanup closed over a local assigned later inside the async catch, so it was always undefined at cleanup time. Holding the id in a ref was not enough — cleanup runs while handleRedirectCallback is still pending, so the stale timer does not exist yet and there is nothing to clear. The run now learns it was superseded and declines to schedule at all, and stops overwriting the newer run's card state. Not covered by a test: SSOCallback has no harness, and driving effect supersession with an in-flight promise costs more than the fix.
The complete and default arms of resumeSignInAfterProtectCheck were byte-identical (contrarian). Deduplicated, removing a place for the two to drift.
A test named for an assertion it did not make (contrarian). completes the transfer as a SIGN-UP and finalizes on the after-sign-up url replaced setActive with a bare mock, so no URL was ever asserted. Renamed to what it checks.
__internal_navigateOnSetActive was fixed but never pinned (contrarian). Both transfer assertions now require it; dropping it fails them.
Only the sign-in half of the stale-gate short-circuit was tested (contrarian). resuming skips a second short-circuit keyed on the sign-up resource — the arm that diverts to a different card rather than back to the same one — and that half now has its own test.
The latch's justification rested on an unstated observation (contrarian). Stated below: it is defensive.
Bundle ceiling was looser than the measurement warranted (API panellist). The largest signin chunk measures 17,577B gzipped at this head; 18KB left 855B of unaudited headroom, 17.5KB leaves 343B.
ResumeAfterProtectCheckParams stayed out of the docs only incidentally (API panellist), via typedoc's excludeNotDocumented. It carries @internal now, like its sibling.
A test fixture widened status to string (API panellist) in a file tsconfig excludes from typechecking, so a typo'd status would compile. Typed from SignInJSON['status'].
Changeset bump level (API panellist; also flagged by the Break Check bot). @clerk/clerk-js and @clerk/shared are minor, not patch — the change adds a required member to the exported Clerk interface plus two exported types, and that is what the bot computes and what __internal_handleResourceCallback shipped as. @clerk/react and @clerk/ui stay patch.

Declined

Move the seam into @clerk/shared/internal/clerk-js/ instead of the Clerk interface (contrarian, its strongest objection: the IsomorphicClerk mirror exists only to satisfy the type system, and a public seam created the skew surface that then needed a guard). It is a fair criticism of the shape, but acting on it means re-implementing the transfer completion outside the router and giving up the single-owner property this change is built around — a redesign, not a review fix, on a path that currently strands users. The skew hole it cites is closed above. Worth revisiting when the transfer completion and handleSignUpIfMissingTransfer are consolidated, which is the real duplication.
Route out of the flow when "Try again" has nothing to retry (state-machine panellist, major). Real, and pre-existing: once the gate is cleared, retry re-runs an effect that returns early and renders an empty card. It is shared with the sign-up card, and retry's useCallback closes over its first-render params, so a correct fix needs the runner to hold its params in a ref rather than a one-line check. Out of scope here; the blocker fix above at least means the failure is now visible rather than silent. To be filed as a follow-up.
Clear premountMethodCalls after replay (state-machine panellist). The two replay sites are mutually exclusive and each runs once, so a queued resume cannot fire twice today.
The isomorphic wrapper resolves before the work it queues (state-machine panellist). True, and identical to handleRedirectCallback and handleGoogleOneTapCallback beside it; changing one of the three in isolation would be the drift this PR is about.
No escape hatch from a terminal challenge error (state-machine panellist). Pre-existing and shared with the sign-up card.
Express the skew guard as an optional-member type shim like windowNavigate.ts (API panellist). typeof x === 'function' is the same idiom used for the __internal_windowNavigate chokepoint in isomorphicClerk.ts, and is lint-clean.
handleRedirectCallback also drops customNavigate (API panellist). Pre-existing, and a behaviour change for every caller of a much older method.
Release @clerk/clerk-js as major (codex, P1), reading AGENTS.md as requiring a major for any change to the core Clerk class API. Declined on four counts: the rule's stated rationale is older SDKs still calling the latest clerk-js, and an addition cannot break them because an older SDK never calls a method that did not exist — the breaking direction the same rules name is removing or renaming; break-check classifies this diff as 0 breaking / 3 additions and computes MINOR; the check-major-bump CI check passes with "no major version bump detected"; and the closest precedent, the commit that added __internal_handleResourceCallback to this same class, shipped @clerk/clerk-js: minor. Happy to bump it if a maintainer reads the rule more strictly.
The resumed path passes __internal_navigateOnSetActive into setActiveNavigate, which can race an unmount (contrarian, incidental). Both social-button paths pass the same param the same way on the ordinary social sign-up flow that runs in production today, so the behaviour is shared rather than introduced here — and omitting it reintroduces the wrong-destination bug it was added to fix. Not changed on that basis.

Type of change

…n challenge Signing up with a social provider from the sign-in page works by transfer: the sign-in comes back with a transferable first-factor verification and the client completes it as a sign-up. That conversion lives in one linear branch list in _handleRedirectCallback, the challenge check sits above it and returns early, and the callback route is then navigated away from — so the transfer had exactly one chance to happen and a challenge took it away. SignInProtectCheck routed onward with its own private switch over the interactive sign-in statuses. A sign-in awaiting transfer is needs_identifier, which is not one of them, so it fell to default: and returned to the start form — where SignInStart displays the error and then calls signIn.create({}), replacing the attempt and discarding the only reference to the pending transfer. Stranded permanently, reproducing on every retry. The card now hands back to the one router via clerk.__internal_resumeAfterProtectCheck, which re-enters the branch list with the two challenge short-circuits skipped. Nothing about the transfer is duplicated: transferable: false, the gated-transfer result, unsafeMetadata and finalisation on the after-sign-up URL all stay where they were. The pending transfer is latched at mount, before the challenge runs, because SignIn.fromJSON replaces firstFactorVerification wholesale on every write and a re-serialized response would erase the marker the router reads. navigateNext moves into handleProtectCheck.ts beside the helper that routes INTO the challenge, so the gate's entry and exit choke points live together. Also on this path: a stale or direct visit to the sign-in protect-check route returns to the flow start instead of rendering an empty shell, matching the sign-up card; and SSOCallback's error handler no longer throws out of its own catch, which had skipped both the message and the recovery and left the page loading indefinitely with the failure visible only as an unhandled rejection. Eight new tests. Each guard was verified by breaking the code it protects and watching it fail: reverting the default: arm fails the two transfer tests, and removing the resuming flag fails the stale-gate test.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds __internal_resumeAfterProtectCheck and continuation types for redirect-callback recovery. Protect-check routing preserves OAuth transfer state, bypasses stale gates during resumption, and redirects standalone stale visits to the sign-in flow. SSO callback and Protect-check errors use fallback handling. Tests and fixtures cover transfer continuation, stale routes, cleared markers, and non-transferable flows.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 51de7

The PR is mergeable with owner awareness: one navigation test could miss a regression because its assertion does not match the actual call shape, although no merge-blocking runtime issue remains.

Report generated by Break Check

_{Last ran on 79131d0.}

Two findings, both real and both verified by breaking them. 1. __internal_resumeAfterProtectCheck was added to the Clerk interface as a REQUIRED member, and IsomorphicClerk implements a type derived from LoadedClerk — so packages/react failed to typecheck with TS2420. Confirmed by removing the new proxy and watching the error appear, then restoring it. Adds the forwarding method with the usual premount queue, and @clerk/react to the changeset. 2. The resumed continuation omitted __internal_navigateOnSetActive, so a completed transfer whose session carries a pending task routed with the component's base URL rather than its mounted route — landing on #/tasks/... instead of #/create/tasks/... in the combined flow. The social buttons already pass it for this exact reason; now so does this path.

The sign-in chunk's largest locale variant was already within 71 bytes of the 17KB ceiling on main (17,337 gzipped). This change adds 226 bytes — the resume hand-off, the latch, and the stale-visit guard — which tips it to 17,563. Measured by building @clerk/ui at origin/main and at this branch and gzipping each dist/signin*.js, rather than from the CI delta, so the number is the change's own cost and not a locale-hash coincidence.

zourzouvillys · 2026-08-19T00:19:51Z

CI is green (50 passing, 2 skipped). Two earlier failures, for the record:

@clerk/expo unit tests — ClerkProvider.nativeClientSync → "recovers again inside the cooldown window once native pushes a new device token" → expected vi.fn() to be called 2 times, but got 1. A timer assertion in a package this change does not touch; the full monorepo suite passed locally (46/46 tasks). It passed on re-run with no code change, so it is flaky rather than caused by this PR — worth a look on its own if it recurs.

bundlewatch — real, and fixed in the last commit. The sign-in chunk's largest locale variant was already within 71 bytes of the 17KB ceiling on main (17,337 gzipped); this change adds 226 bytes, taking it to 17,563. Raised to 18KB.

That delta was measured by building @clerk/ui at origin/main and at this branch and gzipping each dist/signin*.js, rather than from the CI report — the locale hashes in those filenames differ between builds, so comparing them by name gives a meaningless number.

The queued copy is replayed by replayInterceptedInvocations, whose loop discards whatever its callbacks return, so a rejection there had no caller left to reach and surfaced as an unhandled rejection. Move the rejection handler inside the shared callback so the loaded and queued arms carry identical handling and cannot drift apart. Cover both arms with regression tests; each was verified by removing the handler and watching it go red.

…avigator @clerk/ui reaches apps independently of clerk-js, so a newer challenge card can meet a runtime without __internal_resumeAfterProtectCheck. The call was unconditional, so it threw and stranded the transfer it exists to resume; feature-detect it and fall back to the previous destination. IsomorphicClerk declared the method with a customNavigate parameter but forwarded only params, so a call through ClerkProvider silently fell back to Clerk.navigate and resolved component-relative destinations against the origin. Accept and forward it, as __internal_handleResourceCallback does.

…runner handleError re-throws what it does not recognise, and the runner awaits caller code that raises plain errors - a transient fetch failure, or a continuation that did not complete. That throw escaped the void-invoked challenge run and left the card with no spinner, no message and no retry, stranding the user silently. Guard both reporting sites at the runner's chokepoint, matching the guard already written for SSOCallback. Also from review: hold SSOCallback's bounce timer in a ref so a superseded run's timer is still cleared; drop the duplicated 'complete' arm; tighten the signin bundle ceiling to 17.5KB (measured 17,517B) rather than leaving 915B unaudited; mark ResumeAfterProtectCheckParams @internal; type the fixture status from SignInJSON; raise clerk-js and shared to minor, matching break-check and the __internal_handleResourceCallback precedent.

44-53: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent superseded callbacks from scheduling recovery navigation.

Cleanup only clears a timer that already exists. If this effect cleans up while handleRedirectCallback() is pending, its later rejection still assigns bounceTimeoutRef.current and redirects the user from an obsolete callback run.

Track whether the effect is active. Do not schedule the timer or set the card error after cleanup. Add a regression test where an earlier callback rejects after a newer run starts.

The existing test covers the sign-in gate; `resuming` skips a second short-circuit keyed on the sign-up resource, and that is the arm that diverts to a different card rather than back to the same one.

- Line 1996: Update the navigation assertion in the clerk test to inspect the
first argument of every mockNavigate call, rather than matching a second
argument with expect.anything(). Ensure the test rejects any single-argument URL
containing “protect-check”, matching the navigate(to) call shape used by the
redirect wrapper.

…unce Cleanup runs while handleRedirectCallback is still pending, so a superseded run's catch fires after it. Clearing a stored timer id cannot help, because the stale timer does not exist yet -- the run has to know it was superseded and decline to schedule, or its bounce pulls the user off the route the newer run just reached. It also no longer overwrites the newer run's card state.

IsomorphicClerk always exposes this wrapper, so it cannot itself signal whether the loaded clerk-js supports the call; calling straight through threw a TypeError at a host caller instead of doing nothing. Presence-check it the way __internal_windowNavigate beside it already does. Also tighten two navigation assertions: navigate is called with a single argument on this path, so `not.toHaveBeenCalledWith(str, expect.anything())` could never fail and would have passed through the regression it names.
