rcourtman b6140cd6e8 feat(oidc): Add refresh token support for long-lived sessions
When offline_access scope is configured, Pulse now stores and uses
OIDC refresh tokens to automatically extend sessions. Sessions remain
valid as long as the IdP allows token refresh (typically 30-90 days).

Changes:
- Store OIDC tokens (refresh token, expiry, issuer) alongside sessions
- Automatically refresh tokens when access token nears expiry
- Invalidate session if IdP revokes access (forces re-login)
- Add background token refresh with concurrency protection
- Persist OIDC tokens across restarts

# 🔐 OIDC Single Sign-On
Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) with providers like Authentik, Keycloak, Okta, and Azure AD.
## 🚀 Quick Start
1. **Configure Provider**: Create an OIDC application in your IdP.
* **Redirect URI**: `https://<your-pulse-domain>/api/oidc/callback`
* **Scopes**: `openid`, `profile`, `email`
2. **Enable in Pulse**: Go to **Settings → Security → Single sign-on (OIDC)**.
3. **Enter Details**:
* **Issuer URL**: The base URL of your IdP (e.g., `https://auth.example.com/application/o/pulse/`).
* **Client ID & Secret**: From your IdP.
4. **Save**: The login page will now show a "Continue with Single Sign-On" button.
> **Tip**: To hide the username/password form and only show the SSO button, set `PULSE_AUTH_HIDE_LOCAL_LOGIN=true` in your environment. You can still access the local login by appending `?show_local=true` to the URL (e.g., `https://your-pulse-instance/?show_local=true`).
## ⚙️ Configuration
| Setting | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Issuer URL** | The OIDC provider's issuer URL. Must match the `iss` claim in tokens. |
| **Client ID** | The application ID from your provider. |
| **Client Secret** | The application secret. |
| **Redirect URL** | Auto-detected. Override only if running behind a complex proxy setup. |
| **Scopes** | Space-separated scopes. Default: `openid profile email`. |
| **Claim Mapping** | Map `email`, `username`, and `groups` to specific token claims. |
### Access Control
Restrict access to specific users or groups:
* **Allowed Groups**: Only users in these groups can login. Requires the `groups` scope/claim.
* **Allowed Domains**: Restrict to specific email domains (e.g., `example.com`).
* **Allowed Emails**: Allow specific email addresses.
### Long-Lived Sessions with `offline_access`
For persistent sessions that don't require frequent re-authentication:
1. **Add `offline_access` scope**: Include `offline_access` in your OIDC scopes (e.g., `openid profile email offline_access`).
2. **Configure your IdP**: Ensure your identity provider issues refresh tokens when `offline_access` is requested.
**How it works:**
- When you login with `offline_access`, Pulse stores the refresh token alongside your session.
- When your access token expires, Pulse automatically refreshes it using the stored refresh token.
- Your session remains valid as long as the refresh token is valid (typically 30-90 days depending on your IdP).
- If the IdP revokes access (user disabled, token revoked), Pulse detects this on the next refresh attempt and logs you out.
**Security considerations:**
- Refresh tokens are stored encrypted at rest.
- If the IdP configuration changes, existing sessions with mismatched issuers are automatically invalidated.
- Failed refresh attempts immediately invalidate the session.
## 📚 Provider Examples
### Authentik
* **Type**: OAuth2/OpenID (Confidential)
* **Redirect URI**: `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/callback`
* **Signing Key**: Must use **RS256** (create a certificate/key pair if needed).
* **Issuer URL**: `https://auth.example.com/application/o/pulse/`
### Keycloak
* **Client ID**: `pulse`
* **Access Type**: Confidential
* **Valid Redirect URIs**: `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/callback`
* **Issuer URL**: `https://keycloak.example.com/realms/myrealm`
### Azure AD
* **Redirect URI**: `https://pulse.example.com/api/oidc/callback` (Web)
* **Issuer URL**: `https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/v2.0`
* **Note**: Enable "ID tokens" in Authentication settings.
## 🔧 Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
| :--- | :--- |
| **`invalid_id_token`** | Issuer URL mismatch. Check logs (`LOG_LEVEL=debug`) to see the expected vs. received issuer. |
| **`unexpected signature algorithm "HS256"`** | Your IdP is signing with HS256. Configure it to use **RS256**. |
| **Redirect Loop** | Check `X-Forwarded-Proto` header (must be `https`) and cookie settings. |
| **Self-Signed Certs** | Mount your CA bundle to `/etc/ssl/certs/oidc-ca.pem` and set `OIDC_CA_BUNDLE`. |
### Debugging
Enable debug logs to trace the OIDC flow:
```bash
export LOG_LEVEL=debug
# Restart Pulse
```
Logs will show discovery, token exchange, and claim parsing details.
