The DC-027 rate limiter on /api/v1/auth/* shipped with skip: () => isTest,
which counted every request — including those from a logged-in TOTP session.
Caddy's forward_auth fires /auth/gate/* on every page-load asset (HTML, JS,
CSS, XHR), so a normal browser session exhausted the 20-req/15-min budget
within ~3 page loads and started getting 429 'Too many auth requests' even
with a valid session cookie.
Fix: extend skip to also return true when req.auth.type is 'session',
'jwt', or 'apikey' (set by jwtApiKeyAuthMiddleware, which runs upstream
of the limiter). The unauthenticated path is still rate-limited — DC-027's
credential-scraping defense is preserved.
Also closes the uncommitted working-tree changes for:
- DC-026: routes/auth/sso-gate.js — pre-auth check in buildLoginPage,
redirected error fallbacks to status.sami?auth=required&return=...
- DC-022: dashcaddy-api/VERSION bumped to fef7e07
- status/index.html + status/js/tailscale-devices.js — Tailscale device card
4 new regression tests pin the fix:
- skips when req.auth.type === 'session'
- skips when req.auth.type === 'jwt'
- skips when req.auth.type === 'apikey'
- still counts UNAUTHENTICATED requests (defense preserved)
Live verified: 50/50 authenticated /auth/gate/plex calls passed (was
20/30 before fix). plex.sami/dashcaddy-login returns 200 with no redirect
loop. Plex auto-login token round-trips end-to-end.
