+# ADR 0058 — The identity subject binds to the account at login, and a device registration reads the bind

+- **Status:** Accepted on 2026-09-29

+- **Implemented by:** not built; one later slice under FSM1/cipher-box#2012. The spend at
+  registration landed with FSM1/cipher-box#2092.
+- **Amends:** ADR 0039 D2
+
+## Context
+
+The account is the secp256k1 identity key, and the engine adopts the Core Kit export as that
+key. `POST /auth/login` takes a public key, a challenge and a signature, and no identity token.
+So the API learns the identity subject of an account only when a device registers, and it cannot
+compute the key that a subject derives. A registration therefore cannot tell a member's own
+identity token from a leaked one: an account with a full session and another member's unspent
+token claims that member's subject first (ADR 0039 E4). The spend of FSM1/cipher-box#2092 stops
+a replay of a spent token, not the first claim. The claim stays open from the mint to the
+member's first registration, which can come days after the sign-in, or never.
+
+## Decision
+
+**D1 — `users.identity_subject_id` holds the one identity subject of an account.** The column is
+nullable, unique, and a foreign key to `identity_subjects`. The bind writes it once, nothing
+rewrites it, and the account hard delete removes it with the row. It holds the subject id only:
+no hash and no display form of the provider identifier. One account holds one subject, because
+the Core Kit derives the key from the pair (verifier, subject): a second subject derives a
+second key, which is a second account. A method link points another provider identity at the
+same subject (ADR 0039 D1), so the rule refuses no real method. `identity_subjects` still holds
+no `user_id`.
+
+**D2 — A login that follows an identity exchange presents the identity token, and binds an
+unbound account to an unbound subject.** `POST /auth/login` takes an optional `identityToken`,
+which the API verifies as a registration does. A token that does not verify refuses the login
+with 401. When the account and the subject are both unbound, the login writes the bind in the
+transaction that creates or touches the account, under the subject lock that registration also
+takes. When either one is already bound elsewhere, the login proceeds and changes no bind. A
+start that follows no exchange presents no token and binds nothing: a restored Core Kit session,
+a desktop relaunch, and the staging-gated test-login.
+
+**D3 — A device registration reads the bind.** The API refuses a registration from an unbound
+account, and a registration whose identity token names a subject other than the bound subject.
+Both refusals answer 409 and write nothing. The row records the bound subject. The registration
+still spends the token.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Keep the claim at registration, as ADR 0039 D2 built it.** The claim stays open until the
+  member's first registration, and a member who never registers keeps a claimable subject.
+- **Refuse a registration whose subject differs from the subject of the account's devices.** An
+  attacker makes a new account with no device, so the check never fires.
+- **A `user_id` on `identity_subjects`, or a separate bind table.** ADR 0039 alternative (b)
+  rejects the first. A table earns its place only for many subjects per account, which D1 rules
+  out.
+- **A hash of the subject id in place of the id.** A database reader hashes every subject id and
+  joins. It hides nothing, and it loses the foreign key.
+- **Bind the token to the login key at mint, as a claim with the hash of the public key.** The
+  login key is the Core Kit export, which exists only after `loginWithJWT` redeems the token. At
+  mint the API knows the subject and nothing of the key.
+- **The login signature covers the token's `jti`.** That proves the signer held the token, not
+  that the token's subject derives the signer's key. An attacker signs with an own key.
+- **Refuse the login when the subject is bound to another account.** A member who lost the
+  first-claim race is then locked out of the vault, not only out of device registration.
+- **Spend the token at login.** The web presents one token at login and then at registration, so
+  every registration would fail. The unique bind already makes the token useless at every other
+  account.
+
+## Consequences
+
+1. `blueprint/api.md` "Identity and auth" gains the bind, the login rule and the registration
+   rule in the slice that builds them. This PR adds only the single-use line, which is true today.
+2. `blueprint/api.md` "Data model (complete)" names the `users` column in the same slice.
+3. `POST /auth/login` takes the optional `identityToken`, and `POST /devices` gains the two 409
+   refusals. The OpenAPI document carries both.
+4. The engine API client sends the optional token in `login_identity`, and the engine start
+   command takes it as an optional parameter.
+5. `packages/client` carries the optional token from the facade start to the worker.
+6. `packages/login` hands the token of the identity credential to the start that follows an
+   exchange, and no token to the start of a restored session.
+7. `apps/web` registers only in a sign-in that holds the token, as it does today. `apps/desktop`
+   carries the optional token in its Tauri start command beside the raw secret.
+8. The contract suite proves the bind at the first login, no rebind on a conflict, and both
+   registration refusals. The web e2e device-approval legs sign in through an exchange.
+9. Single use: a registration spends the token by its `jti` in `spent_identity_tokens`, which
+   holds the `jti` and the expiry only. Login does not spend it. `POST /device-approval/session`
+   accepts it more than once.
+10. The token lifetime stays 300 seconds. A spent row lives until its token expires, plus a grace.
+11. No backfill: an existing account stays unbound until its next login that follows an
+    exchange, and until then its registrations are refused. The rendezvous session still maps a
+    subject to an account through `account_devices`.
+12. Privacy: today the API links an account to a subject, and so to the unsalted hash of its
+    provider identifier, only when a device registers. After the bind it links every account that
+    signs in through an exchange.
+13. ADR 0039 D1 holds as written. ADR 0039 E4 narrows to the window before the member's bind.
+
+## Residuals
+
+**E1 — Should the identity token bind at mint to a key that the client holds before the mint?**
+The bind does not close the first-claim race. An attacker with a leaked, unspent token who logs
+in with a fresh key before the member does binds the member's subject. The member's account then
+stays unbound and cannot register a device, and no key is disclosed. The window shrinks from
+"until the first registration" to the seconds between the mint and the member's first login.
+For an account that existed before the bind, it lasts until its next login through an exchange.
+A proof-of-possession claim, checked by a signature at login and at registration, closes it for
+a leaked token string. The web holds a device identity key before reconstruction (ADR 0009 D4);
+desktop holds none (ADR 0039 E1). The owner decides whether to close it, and with which key.
+
+**E2 — How does a member whose subject is bound to another account recover?** D1 never rewrites
+a bind, and no unbind path exists. The owner decides whether an operator unbind exists, and what
+proves the member to the operator.
