Summary

  • Adds admin wallet authentication that reuses the existing address-generic createNonce/verifySignature from auth.services.ts — no parallel nonce system, no changes to merchant auth.
  • Unlike merchant login, admin login never auto-provisions: a wallet that signs correctly but has no active Admin row is rejected with 401 Not an admin, and no Admin row is created.
  • Admin JWTs carry a type: 'admin' claim, checked by authenticateAdmin, so a structurally valid merchant JWT is rejected on admin routes even though both share JWT_SECRET.
  • Adds requireSuperAdmin, chained after authenticateAdmin, for superadmin-only routes.
  • Establishes src/routes/admin/ as the mount point for admin sub-routers that later issues will add (merchant, invoice, etc.), each gated behind authenticateAdmin.

Changes

  • Schema: Admin.active / Admin.isSuperAdmin flags, new AdminRefreshToken model mirroring RefreshToken.
  • Service: authenticateAdminWallet, issueAdminAccessToken, issueAdminRefreshToken in admin-auth.services.ts.
  • Middleware: authenticateAdmin, requireSuperAdmin in admin.middleware.ts; req.admin added to Express types.
  • Routes: POST /api/v1/admin/auth/challenge, POST /api/v1/admin/auth/verify.

Test plan

  • POST /admin/auth/challenge behaves identically to the merchant challenge endpoint for a valid Stellar address, without checking admin ownership
  • POST /admin/auth/verify with a valid signature from an active admin → 200 with accessToken/refreshToken
  • POST /admin/auth/verify with a valid signature from an address with no Admin row → 401, no Admin row created
  • POST /admin/auth/verify for a deactivated admin → 401
  • Admin JWT includes type: 'admin'; authenticateAdmin rejects a token missing that claim, including a structurally valid merchant JWT
  • authenticateMerchant and existing merchant auth tests unaffected
  • requireSuperAdmin rejects a non-superadmin with 403
  • Full suite: 288 tests passing (npm run test); tsc --noEmit, eslint, prettier --check all clean

Closes #40

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added wallet-based administrator authentication with challenge and signature verification endpoints.
    • Added access and refresh token issuance with configurable administrator status and privileges.
    • Added authentication middleware for validating administrator sessions and restricting superadministrator actions.
    • Added support for administrator routes under /admin.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for authentication, authorization, token handling, invalid requests, and inactive administrators.

Adds Admin.active/isSuperAdmin flags and an AdminRefreshToken model
(mirroring RefreshToken) so admin sessions can be tracked and revoked
independently of merchant sessions.
Introduces authenticateAdminWallet, reusing the existing address-generic
createNonce/verifySignature from auth.services.ts instead of duplicating
nonce handling. Unlike merchant auth, no Admin row is auto-provisioned:
a valid signature from an address with no active Admin row is rejected.

Issued JWTs carry a `type: 'admin'` claim so admin and merchant tokens
can never be confused, even though they share JWT_SECRET. authenticateAdmin
enforces that claim and loads req.admin; requireSuperAdmin chains after it
to gate superadmin-only routes.
Mirrors createChallengeController/verifySignatureController to add
POST /admin/auth/challenge and POST /admin/auth/verify, mounted under
/admin at src/routes/admin/index.ts. This establishes the layout later
issues will extend with sibling admin sub-routers (merchant, invoice,
etc.), each mounted behind authenticateAdmin.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Stellar wallet authentication for admins, admin JWT and refresh-token issuance, admin authentication and superadmin middleware, /admin/auth routes, Prisma schema changes, and unit and integration tests.

Changes

Admin authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Admin authentication schema
prisma/schema.prisma, prisma/migrations/...
The Admin model gains status flags and refresh-token relations. AdminRefreshToken stores unique tokens, expiry timestamps, and admin foreign keys.
Admin wallet login flow
src/services/admin-auth.services.ts, src/controllers/admin-auth.controllers.ts, src/routes/admin/*, src/routes/index.ts
The login flow validates Stellar addresses, verifies signatures, rejects unknown or inactive admins, issues access and refresh tokens, and serves challenge and verification endpoints under /admin/auth.
Admin request authentication and authorization
src/middlewares/admin.middleware.ts, src/types/express.d.ts
Middleware validates bearer tokens, requires the admin JWT type, checks admin status, attaches req.admin, and enforces superadmin access.
Admin authentication validation
tests/unit/admin-auth.services.test.ts, tests/integration/admin.routes.test.ts, tests/integration/admin.middleware.test.ts
Tests cover token claims, refresh-token persistence, wallet login outcomes, route validation, inactive and unknown admins, malformed tokens, and superadmin authorization.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 211ce

The PR adds public admin authentication endpoints, but malformed verify requests can return 500 instead of 400 and the endpoints lack throttling for database and signature work. These are bounded fixes, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Audit logging for admin logins is still open.

Admin login success and failure are high-value audit events. Do you want me to open a follow-up issue to track recordAuditLog wiring for both branches?

Prefer a 256-bit random token over randomUUID.

crypto.randomUUID() gives about 122 bits of entropy and encodes version and variant bits. For a long-lived bearer credential, use crypto.randomBytes(32). Storing a hash instead of the raw token also limits the impact of a database leak.

🔒 Proposed change
-  const token = crypto.randomUUID();
+  const token = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64url');

If the merchant refresh-token flow in src/services/auth.services.ts uses randomUUID too, align both paths in one change instead of only this one.

Add an index on adminId and consider onDelete: Cascade.

Postgres does not index a foreign-key column automatically. Token lookup and revocation by admin will scan the table. The relation also defaults to Restrict, so an Admin delete fails while any token row exists.

♻️ Proposed schema change
 model AdminRefreshToken {
   id        String   `@id` `@default`(uuid())
   adminId   String
-  admin     Admin    `@relation`(fields: [adminId], references: [id])
+  admin     Admin    `@relation`(fields: [adminId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
   token     String   `@unique`
   expiresAt DateTime
   createdAt DateTime `@default`(now())
+
+  @@index([adminId])
 }

If you change onDelete, regenerate the migration so the SQL constraint matches.

Match the Bearer scheme case-insensitively.

RFC 7235 defines the auth scheme token as case-insensitive. A client that sends bearer <token> receives 401.

♻️ Proposed change
-  if (!authHeader || !authHeader.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
+  const [scheme, ...rest] = (authHeader ?? '').split(' ');
+  if (scheme?.toLowerCase() !== 'bearer') {

-
-  const token = authHeader.slice('Bearer '.length).trim();
+  const token = rest.join(' ').trim();
   return token || null;

Apply the same rule to the merchant middleware if it uses the strict prefix, so both paths behave the same.

Log the unexpected error before returning 500.

The challenge controller logs context on failure. This bare catch discards it, so a database or signing failure in the verify path leaves no trace.

req.body was destructured directly, so a POST with no body at all
(no Content-Type, nothing for express.json() to parse) threw and fell
through to the catch-all 500 instead of the intended 400 validation
response. Defaults to {} like the sibling challenge controller already
does. Also logs unexpected verify failures with path/method context,
matching the challenge controller, instead of swallowing them silently.
