Guided Build

Supabase Auth in production practice

This lesson is not about building a clickable login form. It is about connecting identity, callback exchange, session handling, RLS, and product access into one deliverable auth chain. DepthPilot adds the build order, acceptance evidence, debugging order, and reusable runbook.

Final artifact

A real account system with sign-up, sign-in, sign-out, email callback, and provable RLS behavior.

Real acceptance criteria

Not just a page saying sign-in worked, but callback, server helpers, middleware, and database policies working together.

Where our value shows

This page turns the docs into a concrete runbook with proof points, debugging order, and delivery templates.

DepthPilot build order

Configure Site URL and callback URLs before testing sign-up and sign-in.

Run migrations and RLS before testing user-scoped data access.

Keep browser and server clients separate. Let middleware refresh session only.

Add lesson access and learning-state behavior after the identity chain is stable.

Operator heuristics

If login works but data fails, inspect RLS and server sessions before blaming the frontend.

If email callbacks land on the wrong domain, inspect Site URL, Redirect URLs, and the `redirect_to` inside the email.

If session drops intermittently, inspect middleware for extra business logic first.

Test localhost and production callback paths separately so you do not fix one while breaking the other.

What proof you must keep

One record of the email callback landing back in the app and exchanging into a session.

One RLS proof showing the signed-in user can read their own data but not someone else’s.

One screenshot of the post-login account or dashboard state.

One short recap of your own auth debugging order.

DepthPilot auth runbook

Test sign-up and email callback first, then password sign-in and sign-out.

Then verify guest access redirects correctly on protected pages.

Then verify logged-in database access and learning-state sync.

Only after that should you test multilingual paths, checkout, and lesson entitlement.

Search Cluster

Connect auth back to the workflow search cluster

Users rarely start with your internal labels. They enter through auth tutorial and workflow automation intent.
