Sign-in compared `admin@nearle.in` / `nearle123` — a compile-time const — after
a 600ms delay standing in for a network call that was never made. Two things
followed, and the second was the serious one.
Every install of a build shared one password, and changing it meant a rebuild.
Worse: because nothing was checked with the back office, the *outlet* could not
come from the sign-in. It came from a store id typed into Settings, so the till
asserted which shop it belonged to and the server took its word. One field on
one screen moved a terminal into another tenant's books.
Now a person signs in with their own back-office account and the outlet arrives
as a consequence — sealed in a signed token, checked server-side on every
request, and not editable from this device. `DemoCredentials` is gone, along
with the prefilled fields and the "Demo account" hint that printed the password
on the login screen.
The pieces:
- `PosSession` — what the back office answers with. The token is opaque on
purpose: the till must not parse it or reason about what it appears to say.
- `SessionStore` — the whole session to the platform keystore, not SQLite. The
token is a bearer credential and SQLite here is a file behind a shop counter.
An expired session reads back as absent, so no caller has to remember to
check.
- `SyncConfig.bearerToken` — one accessor rather than the same `??` at each
call site, because the request that forgot it would be the one silently
sending no credentials. The session beats a static API key: the key says the
request came from our fleet, the session says which outlet it came from, and
only the second can stop a till reaching another tenant's books.
- Restore runs in `syncBootstrapProvider` *before* the engine starts. A drain
that began first would upload the day's bills unauthenticated. A till trades
all day; a reboot mid-shift must not put a login screen in front of a queue.
- An outlet picker, shown only when the account genuinely reaches several. Not
dismissable — defaulting silently to the first outlet is how a day's takings
end up filed against the wrong shop.
Store name, address, GSTIN and phone now come down with the session and are
written on sign-in. They were compile-time constants, and on a GST invoice
those fields are a legal requirement rather than decoration.
The smoke test signs in through a fake client and inside `runAsync`: sign-in
reaches SQLite now, and real disk I/O cannot complete on a widget test's fake
clock — pumping alone leaves it suspended for ever.
