feat(auth): FAM/Cognito JWT auth + GET /api/v1/me (Story 1.1)

[gpascucci]

Story 1.1 — Turn on Cognito JWT auth and expose the current user (backend)

Turns the resource server on (config-ready-but-off until the SPA sign-in lands in Story 1.2) and adds the current-user endpoint. Reuses the built SecurityConfiguration + CognitoGroupsJwtAuthenticationConverter + Role enum; net-new below.

What's here

• GET /api/v1/me → CurrentUser {userGuid, displayName, email, identityProvider, roles[]} read from the validated ID token, no DB. roles map from token authorities through the Role enum — the same source @PreAuthorize reads, so /me and method security agree.
• JwtPrincipalUtil.getIdpUserId() — the raw custom:idp_user_id (the ILCR association join key), distinct from the provider-prefixed getUserId().
• Conditional JwtDecoder enforcing token_use=id + aud=<client_id> so a Cognito access token (no custom:idp_user_id, no aud) is refused; fails closed at startup if the client id is unconfigured.
• O4 permit-set change — dropped HOME_PUBLIC_PATHS; only health/info stay public, /api/** authenticated.
• allowed-audience via COGNITO_CLIENT_ID env/ConfigMap (no secrets committed).

⚠️ Policy change to note in review

O4 makes the Home option-list endpoints (/api/v1/mills, /reporting-years, /mill-context) no longer public — Home renders post-login. The two Home ITs (MillContextListIT, MillContextResolveIT) were updated to send an authenticated principal and to assert 401 unauthenticated. The SPA must fetch these lists after sign-in (aligns with Story 1.2).

Notes

• Enable stays OFF in deployed envs until Story 1.2 (Amplify sign-in) — the flip is a joint 1.1+1.2 release (1.1 alone would 401 the whole app).
• The security-off mock path is preserved. The 403 ProblemDetail handler already exists; the 401 entry point keeps its bare sendError (recorded AD-8 deviation).

Test plan

• New: CognitoJwtValidatorsTest (2), UserMeIT (8), UserMeSecurityOffIT (2)
• Unit suite 973/973; full *IT regression sweep 795/795 (Oracle Testcontainers)

This is an exceptionally clean and well-structured implementation of the user
identity endpoint. However, there is a critical deviation from the security
specification regarding audience validation that should be resolved in this PR
before merging to main.

The Story 1.1 specification explicitly mandates that the application "fails closed
at startup if the client id is unconfigured." The current implementation logs a
warning and leaves audience validation disabled, which presents a significant
security risk.

Please address the change below to align with the security requirements.

🔴 Critical Security Fix: Enforce Fail-Closed Startup

• File: CognitoResourceServerConfiguration.java
• Issue: If ilcr.security.cognito.allowed-audience (COGNITO_CLIENT_ID) is blank or
  missing, the application currently logs a warning and starts up successfully with
  audience validation completely disabled.
• Risk: If security is enabled in any environment and COGNITO_CLIENT_ID is omitted,
  any valid token issued by the Cognito user pool (even for other
  clients/applications) will be accepted by the ILCR backend.
• Resolution: Throw an IllegalStateException at startup if the audience is not
  configured while security is enabled.

Suggested Code Change:

In CognitoResourceServerConfiguration.java:

1 if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(allowedAudience)) {
2 validators.add(new AudienceValidator(allowedAudience));
3 } else {
4 throw new IllegalStateException(
5 "Critical Security Configuration Error:
'ilcr.security.cognito.allowed-audience' "
6 + "(COGNITO_CLIENT_ID) is not configured. The Cognito Resource Server
must "
7 + "fail closed at startup to prevent unauthorized client access.");
8 }

In CognitoResourceServerConfigurationTest.java:

Update the isolated test to assert that an exception is thrown instead of asserting
that the decoder is built:

1 @test
2 @DisplayName("fails closed at startup when the audience is not configured")
3 void failsClosedWithoutAudienceConfigured() {
4 org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertThrows(IllegalStateException.class, ()
-> {
5 configuration.jwtDecoder(JWKS, ISSUER, " ");
6 });
7 }

🛡️ Commendations (The Great Parts of this PR)

Once the fail-closed security rule is enforced, the rest of this PR is phenomenal:

1. Perfect Single-Source Role Mapping: Building /me roles directly from
   authentication.getAuthorities() filtered through the existing Role enum ensures
   that the SPA representation of roles is 100% in sync with method security
   (@PreAuthorize), solving a common dual-maintenance bug.
2. Robust Edge-Case Fallbacks: Using StringUtils.firstNonBlank for the displayName
   fallback to userGuid and converting blank optional claims (email/provider) to
   null via StringUtils.trimToNull handles missing claims cleanly with no risk of
   NullPointerException or 500 errors.
3. M2 Volume Workaround: The updated docker-compose.yml fallback logic
   (${M2_HOME:-maven-cache}:/root/.m2) is an ingenious way to support developers
   behind corporate intercept gateways (such as Zscaler) without breaking existing
   setups for non-Windows developers.
4. Strong Test Coverage: The inclusion of isolated validator unit tests
   (CognitoJwtValidatorsTest) is an excellent way to cover the security logic
   without needing full live JWKS integration.

backend/src/main/java/ca/bc/gov/nrs/ilcr/configuration/CognitoResourceServerConfiguration.javaLogging a warning and skipping audience validation whenilcr.security.enabled=trueallows any valid token issued by the Cognito User Pool (including tokens minted for other applications/clients) to authenticate against this service. Because@ConditionalOnProperty(name = "ilcr.security.enabled", havingValue = "true")gates this entire bean, local and test profiles running withilcr.security.enabled=false` will not be affected. If security is turned on, the client ID must be mandatory.

  validators.add(new AudienceValidator(allowedAudience));

          + "Refusing to start with audience validation disabled.");
}
Please update CognitoResourceServerConfigurationTest accordingly to assert that IllegalStateException is thrown.

Files: SecurityConfiguration.java & BackendConstants.java

There is currently drift between the public paths permitted with security ON vs. OFF:

Security ON permits only PATH_HEALTH, PATH_HEALTH + "/**", and PATH_INFO.
Security OFF uses BackendConstants.PUBLIC_PATHS (which includes /api and /api/prometheus).
With security enabled, Prometheus scraping at /api/prometheus will receive a 401 Unauthorized. Let's reuse BackendConstants.PUBLIC_PATHS uniformly across both branches:

.authorizeHttpRequests(authorize -> authorize
        .requestMatchers(BackendConstants.PUBLIC_PATHS).permitAll()
        .requestMatchers("/api/**").authenticated()
        .anyRequest().authenticated());

[DerekRoberts]

application-openshift.yml reads ${COGNITO_CLIENT_ID:}, but the Deployment manifest does not map COGNITO_CLIENT_ID into the container's environment (from secret/configmap). When security is enabled in OpenShift, the container will need this environment variable populated.

This is now wired into the backend secret.

CI status summary — for reviewers/maintainers

Code-quality gates all pass: SonarCloud (new-code coverage 97%), Backend Tests, Builds, CodeQL, Trivy, PR Validate.

The failing Deploy checks are environmental, not this PR

• The frontend deploy fails with unchanged + exceeded its progress deadline — and this PR touches no frontend code. It has failed since the PR's first run.
• The backend deploy job is cancelled by matrix fail-fast (triggered by the frontend leg), not failed on its own.
• main deploys the identical images to TEST successfully (recent merges green).

→ The PR-preview namespace isn't bringing pods to ready, independent of this change. A re-run / namespace reset by someone with cluster access should clear it. If the Deploy check is required by the ruleset, it'll need that reset (it's failing on an untouched frontend).

Two fixes made while chasing CI (both keepers)

1. SonarCloud coverage — added sonar.coverage.exclusions mirroring the existing jacoco excludes (configuration/dto/exception/...). The mismatch was counting the new JwtDecoder bean's lines as uncovered while jacoco never instruments them.
2. A genuine latent startup crash — the initial fail-closed audience guard would crash any deploy that runs with ILCR_SECURITY_ENABLED=true but no COGNITO_CLIENT_ID (the current deploy default). Now startup-safe: issuer + token_use=id always enforced; aud applied only when the client id is configured, with a WARN otherwise.

⚠️ Follow-up before Story 1.2 (real sign-in)

Provision COGNITO_CLIENT_ID per environment (DEV/TEST/PROD — Ian's client IDs) so aud validation is actually active before real users authenticate. It is currently WARN-and-skipped in deploys.

Thanks for the review — all four items addressed in 1739785 (rebased onto @kamal-mohammed's 840cb3a).

1. Mandatory audience validation (@Rylan-cgi, @DerekRoberts) ✅
CognitoResourceServerConfiguration now fails closed: when ilcr.security.enabled=true and the client id is unset, it throws IllegalStateException and refuses to start rather than warn-and-skip (which would accept any token the pool issued). Safe now that COGNITO_CLIENT_ID is provisioned in the backend secret (840cb3a). CognitoResourceServerConfigurationTest asserts the throw.

2. Public-path ON/OFF drift (@DerekRoberts) ✅
SecurityConfiguration now permits BackendConstants.PUBLIC_PATHS uniformly in both branches, so /api/prometheus (metrics scraping) and /api are reachable when security is on. Dropped the now-unused PATH_* constants.

3. COGNITO_CLIENT_ID into the container (@DerekRoberts) ✅
Handled by @kamal-mohammed's 840cb3a (full chain: GitHub secret → init template → backend Secret → Deployment env). I dropped my duplicate deploy-manifest edit in favour of theirs.

4. Tests / Integration 401 ✅
Root cause: it.backend.springboot.json asserted /api/v1/mills → 200 (pre-O4). Since O4 makes Home endpoints post-login, updated it to assert 401 — a real auth-boundary smoke on the deployed app (liveness is already gated on /api/health/readiness in the workflow).

Verified: MillContext*/UserMe* ITs 24/24 green after the PUBLIC_PATHS change; unit + config tests pass.
