fix(gui): explain a refused Remember instead of reporting the admin token unverifiable - #8374
When a standalone dashboard sits behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (Caddy, nginx) and the user ticks Remember this device, the server correctly refuses to remember the device (403). OpenCodex sees a plain-HTTP request, so the existing direct-origin rule applies. The dashboard treated every non-401 failure as "unavailable", though, and showed "The admin token could not be verified. Try again.". Users read that as a credential problem.
Depending on the proxy setup, the refusal comes from one of two places:
Origin gate: without corsAllowOrigins, the management Origin gate rejects POST /api/session/remember first, with cross-origin request blocked.
Remember enrollment: with the public origin allowed, the request reaches enrollment, which refuses the non-direct origin.
After this change:
Both refusals carry a stable code: "remember_requires_direct_origin". The gate adds it only for /api/session/remember; every other path keeps its uncoded 403. Messages, statuses and admission rules are unchanged.
The GUI verifier maps that coded 403 to a new remember-unsupported result. An uncoded 403, such as a non-admin principal, still maps to unavailable.
The sign-in dialog explains that OpenCodex cannot remember a device at this address, then unticks and disables Remember. It keeps the typed token, so the next submit signs in without Remember. The text claims nothing about the token, because the gate refuses before checking it. All 11 GUI locales are translated.
The web-dashboard guide, in English and all 7 translations, and structure/gui-and-management-api.md describe the behavior and the code contract.
This is the narrow defect called out in the triage comment on #8338. The trusted-proxy remembered-device feature requested there is a separate trust-boundary decision for maintainers and is not implemented here, so this PR does not close the issue.
The screenshots come from a harness page that bundles the real gui/src/admin-token-dialog.ts and gui/src/styles.css, rendered in headless Chromium. Its verifier returns the server's refusal for a Remember submit.
Verification
Failing-first:
tests/server/persistent-dashboard-admission.test.ts: both refusals carry the code, the Origin-gate case included. The non-admin 403 and other gated paths do not. It fails without each server change.
gui/tests/persistent-dashboard.test.ts: coded 403 → remember-unsupported, uncoded 403 → unavailable, with no session and no stored proof.
gui/tests/admin-token-dialog.test.ts: shows the specific message, unticks and disables Remember, keeps the token, and the resubmit sends remember=false.
bun test tests/server/persistent-dashboard-{admission,session,consent}.test.ts tests/server/server-management-auth.test.ts → 123 pass, 0 fail. These ran in isolated homes (env -i plus temp HOME, OPENCODEX_HOME, CODEX_HOME and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR).
tests/server/management-route-registry.test.ts passes. The Origin gate compares against SESSION_REMEMBER_PATH (exported beside the real route), so the route scanner does not read it as a method-less route guard. A literal comparison failed CI test changed on the previous head.
bun run test:changed (isolated homes) → 10313 pass, 34 skip, 2 fail. Both failures are link-ocx-child-e2e needing cargo in a temp HOME.
cd gui && bun test --isolate tests/admin-token-dialog.test.ts tests/persistent-dashboard.test.ts tests/locale-parity.test.ts tests/i18n-locales.test.ts → 47 pass, 0 fail.
bun run typecheck, cd gui && bun run lint, bun run privacy:scan and bun run structure:check passed. cd gui && bun run build passed on the previous head.
Reviews:
Security review (head 779eb7da): PASS, no P0-P2. Its P3s (translations, fixture wrapper) are folded.
Correctness review (head 779eb7da): found the Origin-gate gap (P2) and the token-clearing friction (P3). Both are fixed here, along with the structure-doc note. Its remaining P3s, the fixture's duplicated English error string and a hung-403-body case already covered by withFetchDeadline, were judged not worth another round.
NOT RUN: the full bun run test; CI covers it.
Pushed with --no-verify. The repository has no pre-push hook; this is disclosed per maintainer workflow.
Checklist
Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. Server changes only add a static reason code to two existing 403 refusals, one of them only on the Remember path. No admission or Origin rule changed. A fresh security review of the final head is requested.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Sign-in explains when Remember this device is unavailable, including when a reverse proxy terminates TLS and the dashboard receives plain HTTP. The option is unchecked and disabled, while signing in without remembering the device remains available.
Improvements
The sign-in message is available in supported languages.
Documentation
Dashboard sign-in guides now describe this behavior.
The server marks applicable device-remembering refusals with a response code. The dashboard recognizes the code, disables Remember, and displays localized guidance. Sign-in without remembering remains available. Tests, API documentation, and dashboard guides also describe the behavior.
The remember endpoint and management Origin gate add remember_requires_direct_origin to applicable 403 responses. Server tests check when the code is present or absent. The API documentation describes the response code.
Handle refusals in the dashboard gui/src/api.ts, gui/src/admin-token-dialog.ts, gui/src/i18n/*, gui/tests/*
The verifier maps the coded 403 response to remember-unsupported. The dialog disables and clears Remember, retains the token for a retry, and displays a localized message. Tests cover response mapping and retry behavior.
lidge-jun/opencodex#8338: The change adds a specific explanation and disables Remember for the reverse-proxy case described in the issue. It does not implement trusted-proxy remembered-device support.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c77fb
The change preserves retry without Remember, but proxy guidance can misidentify configuration problems and overlooks supported hub setups. Merge risk is bounded; correct the guidance and documentation as follow-up.

Explanation
The title "fix(gui): explain a refused Remember instead of reporting the admin token unverifiable" matches the main change. The PR adds a remember_requires_direct_origin code to the 403 refusals from /api/session/remember and the management Origin gate. The GUI maps that code to remember-unsupported, shows an explanation, unchecks and disables Remember, and keeps the typed token. The title names the GUI fix and the user-facing behavior, so it fits the changeset. It is slightly long at 86 characters and does not mention the server-side code addition, but that detail is secondary.

**Remember this device** is off by default. On a direct HTTPS dashboard (or local loopback), it exchanges the admin token for a server-issued HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict device cookie plus a separate device proof stored in this site's localStorage. HTTPS cookies are Secure and host-only. Neither the cookie nor the proof is the admin token, and neither works alone. Cookies are shared across ports of the same hostname; the origin-scoped proof binds the remembered device to this dashboard origin. Still prefer a dedicated hostname. The admin token is never written to localStorage or sessionStorage. If browser storage is unavailable or cannot save the proof, Remember reports unavailable.

Summary
When a standalone dashboard sits behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (Caddy, nginx) and the user ticks Remember this device, the server correctly refuses to remember the device (403). OpenCodex sees a plain-HTTP request, so the existing direct-origin rule applies. The dashboard treated every non-401 failure as "unavailable", though, and showed "The admin token could not be verified. Try again.". Users read that as a credential problem.
Depending on the proxy setup, the refusal comes from one of two places:
corsAllowOrigins, the management Origin gate rejectsPOST /api/session/rememberfirst, withcross-origin request blocked.After this change:
code: "remember_requires_direct_origin". The gate adds it only for/api/session/remember; every other path keeps its uncoded 403. Messages, statuses and admission rules are unchanged.remember-unsupportedresult.

The Origin gate compares againstSESSION_REMEMBER_PATH(exported beside the real route), so the route scanner does not read it as a method-less route guard.
