# Flow Nexus Authentication

## Overview

Flow Nexus uses email/password authentication with JWT tokens for session management.

## Authentication Flow

1. **Registration**: Create new user account
   - Email validation required
   - Password complexity enforced
   - Username unique constraint

2. **Login**: Obtain authentication token
   - Returns JWT token
   - Token expires after 1 hour
   - Refresh token available

3. **Session Management**: Maintain active session
   - Auto-refresh before expiry
   - Logout clears session
   - Multi-device support

## Security Best Practices

- Use strong passwords (min 12 characters)
- Enable 2FA when available
- Rotate tokens regularly
- Never commit credentials to git

## API Examples

### Register
```bash
mcp__flow-nexus__user_register {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "secure_password"
}

Login

mcp__flow-nexus__user_login {
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "secure_password"
}

Logout

mcp__flow-nexus__user_logout

EOF

Post-edit hook

  --key "flow-nexus/phase1-complete" \
  --value "{\"status\": \"complete\", \"user_id\": \"$USER_ID\", \"authenticated\": true, \"timestamp\": \"$(date -Iseconds)\"}"

Phase 2: Configure Services

Objective: Setup sandboxes, storage, databases, and other platform services

• Sandboxes created and running

## System Components

### 1. Sandboxes (E2B)
- Isolated code execution environments
- Multiple templates (Node.js, Python, React)
- Resource limits enforced
- Environment variable support

### 2. Storage
- Object storage for files
- Bucket-based organization
- Public URL generation
- File upload/download APIs

### 3. Databases
- PostgreSQL with Supabase
- Real-time subscriptions
- Row-level security
- Connection pooling

### 4. Workflows
- Event-driven processing
- Agent coordination
- Task orchestration
- Message queue integration

## Scalability Patterns

1. **Horizontal Scaling**: Add more sandboxes
2. **Vertical Scaling**: Increase sandbox resources
3. **Load Balancing**: Distribute across regions
4. **Caching**: Redis for frequently accessed data
5. **CDN**: Static asset delivery

## Security Measures

- Authentication required for all operations
- API rate limiting enforced
- Sandbox isolation with network controls
- Encrypted data at rest and in transit
- Audit logging for all actions

## Deployment Methods

### 1. Template Deployment
Use pre-built templates for quick setup:
```bash
mcp__flow-nexus__template_deploy {
  "template_name": "nextjs-starter",
  "deployment_name": "my-app"
}

2. Custom Deployment

Deploy custom applications:

./platform/scripts/deploy-app.sh my-app $SANDBOX_ID

Deployment Workflow

1. Prepare: Build and test locally
2. Upload: Transfer files to sandbox
3. Configure: Set environment variables
4. Execute: Start application
5. Monitor: Track health and metrics
6. Scale: Adjust resources as needed

Health Monitoring

Check application health:

curl http://localhost:3000/health

Expected response:

{
  "status": "healthy",
  "timestamp": "2025-10-30T12:00:00Z",
  "uptime": 3600
}

Troubleshooting

Application Not Starting

• Check sandbox logs
• Verify environment variables
• Ensure dependencies installed
• Check port availability

Health Check Failing

• Verify application is running
• Check network connectivity
• Review error logs
• Test locally first

Performance Issues

• Monitor resource usage
• Check database connections
• Review application logs
• Consider scaling up EOF

## Credits System

Flow Nexus uses a credit-based billing system:
- Credits deducted for resource usage
- Minimum purchase: $10
- Auto-refill available

## Usage Costs

### Sandboxes
- $0.01 per minute (Node.js, Python)
- $0.02 per minute (React, Next.js)
- Free tier: 100 minutes/month

### Storage
- $0.10 per GB/month
- Free tier: 1 GB

### Workflows
- $0.001 per task execution
- Free tier: 1000 tasks/month

### Neural Training
- Nano: $0.05/hour
- Small: $0.15/hour
- Medium: $0.50/hour
- Large: $2.00/hour

## Managing Credits

### Check Balance
```bash
./platform/scripts/billing-util.sh balance

View History

./platform/scripts/billing-util.sh history 20

Add Credits

./platform/scripts/billing-util.sh refill 50

Auto-Refill

Enable automatic credit refills:

./platform/scripts/billing-util.sh auto-refill enable 10 50

This will automatically add $50 credits when balance falls below $10.

Disable auto-refill:

./platform/scripts/billing-util.sh auto-refill disable
