Logout wiped localStorage but never cleared the token cookie (HttpOnly —
only a server response can) and never called the logout API, leaving the
refresh token live for 30 days and every cookie-authenticated SSR page
accessible: the fake-signout bug. Reproduced on prod and dev; unrelated
to RLS (it sits behind authentication) and long-standing.
- /api/auth/logout now ALWAYS clears the session cookie (Set-Cookie
empty + Max-Age=-1, HttpOnly/Path/SameSite mirroring login) — even a
malformed body must sign the browser out; refresh-token revocation
unchanged.
- The header logout button (and the rules-page copy) now POST to the
API with the stored refresh token BEFORE clearing local state and
redirecting — best effort: local cleanup never blocks on API failure.
- toast 401 handler fixed: it cleared 'refreshToken' but storage uses
'refresh_token' — the real key.
- Regression test TestLogoutClearsSession: real login → logout →
response deletes the cookie; logged-out refresh token can't mint
access tokens; body-less logout still clears.
Also carries regenerated artifacts from the confirm-modal and
episode-list work (header_templ/podcast_detail_templ/style.css).
