fix(db): improve database connection handling and reconnection logic

* Added a database factory function to allow reconnection when the database is closed.
* Implemented mutex locks for safe concurrent access to the database connection.
* Updated all database query methods to handle reconnection attempts on closed connections.
* Enhanced error handling for database operations across multiple providers.

+### ResolveMCP (MCP Server)
 
-ResolveSpec v2.0 maintains **100% backward compatibility**. For detailed migration instructions, see [MIGRATION_GUIDE.md](MIGRATION_GUIDE.md).
+ResolveMCP exposes registered models as Model Context Protocol tools so AI models (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can query and mutate your database directly:
+
+```go
+import "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/resolvemcp"
+
+// Create handler
+handler := resolvemcp.NewHandlerWithGORM(db)
+
+// Register models — must be done BEFORE Build()
+handler.RegisterModel("public", "users", &User{})
+handler.RegisterModel("public", "posts", &Post{})
+
+// Finalize: registers MCP tools and resources
+handler.Build()
+
+// Mount SSE transport on your existing router
+router := mux.NewRouter()
+resolvemcp.SetupMuxRoutes(router, handler, "http://localhost:8080")
+
+// MCP clients connect to:
+//   SSE stream:  GET  http://localhost:8080/mcp/sse
+//   Messages:    POST http://localhost:8080/mcp/message
+//
+// Auto-registered tools per model:
+//   read_public_users   — filter, sort, paginate, preload
+//   create_public_users — insert a new record
+//   update_public_users — update a record by ID
+//   delete_public_users — delete a record by ID

+### SQLite Schema Handling
+
+SQLite doesn't support schemas in the same way as PostgreSQL or MSSQL. To ensure compatibility when using models designed for multi-schema databases:
+
+**Automatic Translation**: When a table name contains a schema prefix (e.g., `myschema.mytable`), it is automatically converted to `myschema_mytable` for SQLite databases.
+
+```go
+// Model definition (works across all databases)
+func (User) TableName() string {
+    return "auth.users"  // PostgreSQL/MSSQL: "auth"."users"
+                         // SQLite: "auth_users"
+}
+
+// Query execution
+db.NewSelect().Model(&User{}).Scan(ctx)
+// PostgreSQL/MSSQL: SELECT * FROM auth.users
+// SQLite: SELECT * FROM auth_users
+```
+
+**How it Works**:
+- Bun, GORM, and Native adapters detect the driver type
+- `parseTableName()` automatically translates schema.table → schema_table for SQLite
+- Translation happens transparently in all database operations (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
+- Preload and relation queries are also handled automatically
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Write database-agnostic code
+- Use the same models across PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and SQLite
+- No conditional logic needed in your application
+- Schema separation maintained through naming convention in SQLite
+
 ## Best Practices
 
 1. **Use Named Connections**: Be explicit about which database you're accessing

+# resolvemcp
+
+Package `resolvemcp` exposes registered database models as **Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools and resources** over HTTP/SSE transport. It mirrors the `resolvespec` package patterns — same model registration API, same filter/sort/pagination/preload options, same lifecycle hook system.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/resolvemcp"
+    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
+)
+
+// 1. Create a handler
+handler := resolvemcp.NewHandlerWithGORM(db, resolvemcp.Config{
+    BaseURL: "http://localhost:8080",
+})
+
+// 2. Register models
+handler.RegisterModel("public", "users", &User{})
+handler.RegisterModel("public", "orders", &Order{})
+
+// 3. Mount routes
+r := mux.NewRouter()
+resolvemcp.SetupMuxRoutes(r, handler)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Config
+
+```go
+type Config struct {
+    // BaseURL is the public-facing base URL of the server (e.g. "http://localhost:8080").
+    // Sent to MCP clients during the SSE handshake so they know where to POST messages.
+    // If empty, it is detected from each incoming request using the Host header and
+    // TLS state (X-Forwarded-Proto is honoured for reverse-proxy deployments).
+    BaseURL string
+
+    // BasePath is the URL path prefix where MCP endpoints are mounted (e.g. "/mcp").
+    // Required.
+    BasePath string
+}
+```
+
+## Handler Creation
+
+| Function | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `NewHandlerWithGORM(db *gorm.DB, cfg Config) *Handler` | Backed by GORM |
+| `NewHandlerWithBun(db *bun.DB, cfg Config) *Handler` | Backed by Bun |
+| `NewHandlerWithDB(db common.Database, cfg Config) *Handler` | Backed by any `common.Database` |
+| `NewHandler(db common.Database, registry common.ModelRegistry, cfg Config) *Handler` | Full control over registry |
+
+---
+
+## Registering Models
+
+```go
+handler.RegisterModel(schema, entity string, model interface{}) error
+```
+
+- `schema` — database schema name (e.g. `"public"`), or empty string for no schema prefix.
+- `entity` — table/entity name (e.g. `"users"`).
+- `model` — a pointer to a struct (e.g. `&User{}`).
+
+Each call immediately creates four MCP **tools** and one MCP **resource** for the model.
+
+---
+
+## HTTP / SSE Transport
+
+The `*server.SSEServer` returned by any of the helpers below implements `http.Handler`, so it works with every Go HTTP framework.
+
+`Config.BasePath` is required and used for all route registration.
+`Config.BaseURL` is optional — when empty it is detected from each request.
+
+### Gorilla Mux
+
+```go
+resolvemcp.SetupMuxRoutes(r, handler)
+```
+
+Registers:
+
+| Route | Method | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `{BasePath}/sse` | GET | SSE connection — clients subscribe here |
+| `{BasePath}/message` | POST | JSON-RPC — clients send requests here |
+| `{BasePath}/*` | any | Full SSE server (convenience prefix) |
+
+### bunrouter
+
+```go
+resolvemcp.SetupBunRouterRoutes(router, handler)
+```
+
+Registers `GET {BasePath}/sse` and `POST {BasePath}/message` on the provided `*bunrouter.Router`.
+
+### Gin (or any `http.Handler`-compatible framework)
+
+Use `handler.SSEServer()` to get an `http.Handler` and wrap it with the framework's adapter:
+
+```go
+sse := handler.SSEServer()
+
+// Gin
+engine.Any("/mcp/*path", gin.WrapH(sse))
+
+// net/http
+http.Handle("/mcp/", sse)
+
+// Echo
+e.Any("/mcp/*", echo.WrapHandler(sse))
+```
+
+### Authentication
+
+Add middleware before the MCP routes. The handler itself has no auth layer.
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+`resolvemcp` integrates with the `security` package to provide per-entity access control, row-level security, and column-level security — the same system used by `resolvespec` and `restheadspec`.
+
+### Wiring security hooks
+
+```go
+import "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/security"
+
+securityList := security.NewSecurityList(mySecurityProvider)
+resolvemcp.RegisterSecurityHooks(handler, securityList)
+```
+
+Call `RegisterSecurityHooks` **once**, after creating the handler and before registering models. It installs these controls automatically:
+
+| Hook | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `BeforeHandle` | Enforces per-entity operation rules (see below) |
+| `BeforeRead` | Loads RLS/CLS rules, then injects a user-scoped WHERE clause |
+| `AfterRead` | Masks/hides columns per column-security rules; writes audit log |
+| `BeforeUpdate` | Blocks update if `CanUpdate` is false |
+| `BeforeDelete` | Blocks delete if `CanDelete` is false |
+
+### Per-entity operation rules
+
+Use `RegisterModelWithRules` instead of `RegisterModel` to set access rules at registration time:
+
+```go
+import "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/modelregistry"
+
+// Read-only entity
+handler.RegisterModelWithRules("public", "audit_logs", &AuditLog{}, modelregistry.ModelRules{
+    CanRead:   true,
+    CanCreate: false,
+    CanUpdate: false,
+    CanDelete: false,
+})
+
+// Public read, authenticated write
+handler.RegisterModelWithRules("public", "products", &Product{}, modelregistry.ModelRules{
+    CanPublicRead: true,
+    CanRead:       true,
+    CanCreate:     true,
+    CanUpdate:     true,
+    CanDelete:     false,
+})
+```
+
+To update rules for an already-registered model:
+
+```go
+handler.SetModelRules("public", "users", modelregistry.ModelRules{
+    CanRead:   true,
+    CanCreate: true,
+    CanUpdate: true,
+    CanDelete: false,
+})
+```
+
+`RegisterModel` (no rules) registers with all-allowed defaults (`CanRead/Create/Update/Delete = true`).
+
+### ModelRules fields
+
+| Field | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `CanPublicRead` | `false` | Allow unauthenticated reads |
+| `CanPublicCreate` | `false` | Allow unauthenticated creates |
+| `CanPublicUpdate` | `false` | Allow unauthenticated updates |
+| `CanPublicDelete` | `false` | Allow unauthenticated deletes |
+| `CanRead` | `true` | Allow authenticated reads |
+| `CanCreate` | `true` | Allow authenticated creates |
+| `CanUpdate` | `true` | Allow authenticated updates |
+| `CanDelete` | `true` | Allow authenticated deletes |
+| `SecurityDisabled` | `false` | Skip all security checks for this model |
+
+---
+
+## MCP Tools
+
+### Tool Naming
+
+```
+{operation}_{schema}_{entity}    // e.g. read_public_users
+{operation}_{entity}             // e.g. read_users  (when schema is empty)
+```
+
+Operations: `read`, `create`, `update`, `delete`.
+
+### Read Tool — `read_{schema}_{entity}`

+  "metadata": {
+    "total": 100,
+    "filtered": 100,
+    "count": 10,
+    "limit": 10,
+    "offset": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Create Tool — `create_{schema}_{entity}`
+
+Insert one or more records.
+
+| Argument | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `data` | object \| array | Single object or array of objects to insert. |
+
+Array input runs inside a single transaction — all succeed or all fail.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{ "success": true, "data": { ... } }
+```
+
+### Update Tool — `update_{schema}_{entity}`
+
+Partially update an existing record. Only non-null, non-empty fields in `data` are applied; existing values are preserved for omitted fields.
+
+| Argument | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | string | Primary key of the record. Can also be included inside `data`. |
+| `data` | object (required) | Fields to update. |

+**Response:**
+```json
+{ "success": true, "data": { ...merged record... } }
+```
+
+### Delete Tool — `delete_{schema}_{entity}`
+
+Delete a record by primary key. **Irreversible.**
+
+| Argument | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | string (required) | Primary key of the record to delete. |
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{ "success": true, "data": { ...deleted record... } }

+### Annotation Tool — `resolvespec_annotate`
+
+Store or retrieve freeform annotation records for any tool, model, or entity. Registered automatically on every handler.
+
+| Argument | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tool_name` | string (required) | Key to annotate — an MCP tool name (e.g. `read_public_users`), a model name (e.g. `public.users`), or any other identifier. |
+| `annotations` | object | Annotation data to persist. Omit to retrieve existing annotations instead. |
+
+**Set annotations** (calls `resolvespec_set_annotation(tool_name, annotations)`):
+```json
+{ "tool_name": "read_public_users", "annotations": { "description": "Returns active users", "owner": "platform-team" } }
+```
+**Response:**
+```json
+{ "success": true, "tool_name": "read_public_users", "action": "set" }
+```
+
+**Get annotations** (calls `resolvespec_get_annotation(tool_name)`):
+```json
+{ "tool_name": "read_public_users" }
+```
+**Response:**
+```json
+{ "success": true, "tool_name": "read_public_users", "action": "get", "annotations": { ... } }
+```
+
+---
+
+### Resource — `{schema}.{entity}`
+
+Each model is also registered as an MCP resource with URI `schema.entity` (or just `entity` when schema is empty). Reading the resource returns up to 100 records as `application/json`.
+
+---
+
+## Filtering
+
+Pass an array of filter objects to the `filters` argument:
+
+```json
+[
+  { "column": "status", "operator": "=", "value": "active" },
+  { "column": "age", "operator": ">", "value": 18, "logic_operator": "AND" },
+  { "column": "role", "operator": "in", "value": ["admin", "editor"], "logic_operator": "OR" }
+]
+```
+
+### Supported Operators
+
+| Operator | Aliases | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `=` | `eq` | Equal |
+| `!=` | `neq`, `<>` | Not equal |
+| `>` | `gt` | Greater than |
+| `>=` | `gte` | Greater than or equal |
+| `<` | `lt` | Less than |
+| `<=` | `lte` | Less than or equal |
+| `like` | | SQL LIKE (case-sensitive) |
+| `ilike` | | SQL ILIKE (case-insensitive) |
+| `in` | | Value in list |
+| `is_null` | | Column IS NULL |
+| `is_not_null` | | Column IS NOT NULL |
+
+### Logic Operators
+
+- `"logic_operator": "AND"` (default) — filter is AND-chained with the previous condition.
+- `"logic_operator": "OR"` — filter is OR-grouped with the previous condition.
+
+Consecutive OR filters are grouped into a single `(cond1 OR cond2 OR ...)` clause.
+
+---
+
+## Sorting
+
+```json
+[
+  { "column": "created_at", "direction": "desc" },
+  { "column": "name", "direction": "asc" }
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pagination
+
+### Offset-Based
+
+```json
+{ "limit": 20, "offset": 40 }
+```
+
+### Cursor-Based
+
+Cursor pagination uses a SQL `EXISTS` subquery for stable, efficient paging. Always pair with a `sort` argument.
+
+```json
+// Next page: pass the PK of the last record on the current page
+{ "cursor_forward": "42", "limit": 20, "sort": [{"column": "id", "direction": "asc"}] }
+
+// Previous page: pass the PK of the first record on the current page
+{ "cursor_backward": "23", "limit": 20, "sort": [{"column": "id", "direction": "asc"}] }
+```
+
+---
+
+## Preloading Relations
+
+```json
+[
+  { "relation": "Profile" },
+  { "relation": "Orders" }
+]
+```
+
+Available relations are listed in each tool's description. Only relations defined on the model struct are valid.
+
+---
+
+## Hook System
+
+Hooks let you intercept and modify CRUD operations at well-defined lifecycle points.
+
+### Hook Types
+
+| Constant | Fires |
+|---|---|
+| `BeforeHandle` | After model resolution, before operation dispatch (all CRUD) |
+| `BeforeRead` / `AfterRead` | Around read queries |
+| `BeforeCreate` / `AfterCreate` | Around insert |
+| `BeforeUpdate` / `AfterUpdate` | Around update |
+| `BeforeDelete` / `AfterDelete` | Around delete |
+
+### Registering Hooks
+
+```go
+handler.Hooks().Register(resolvemcp.BeforeCreate, func(ctx *resolvemcp.HookContext) error {
+    // Inject a timestamp before insert
+    if data, ok := ctx.Data.(map[string]interface{}); ok {
+        data["created_at"] = time.Now()
+    }
+    return nil
+})
+
+// Register the same hook for multiple events
+handler.Hooks().RegisterMultiple(
+    []resolvemcp.HookType{resolvemcp.BeforeCreate, resolvemcp.BeforeUpdate},
+    auditHook,
+)
+```
+
+### HookContext Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Context` | `context.Context` | Request context |
+| `Handler` | `*Handler` | The resolvemcp handler |
+| `Schema` | `string` | Database schema name |
+| `Entity` | `string` | Entity/table name |
+| `Model` | `interface{}` | Registered model instance |
+| `Options` | `common.RequestOptions` | Parsed request options (read operations) |
+| `Operation` | `string` | `"read"`, `"create"`, `"update"`, or `"delete"` |
+| `ID` | `string` | Primary key from request (read/update/delete) |
+| `Data` | `interface{}` | Input data (create/update — modifiable) |
+| `Result` | `interface{}` | Output data (set by After hooks) |
+| `Error` | `error` | Operation error, if any |
+| `Query` | `common.SelectQuery` | Live query object (available in `BeforeRead`) |
+| `Tx` | `common.Database` | Database/transaction handle |
+| `Abort` | `bool` | Set to `true` to abort the operation |
+| `AbortMessage` | `string` | Error message returned when aborting |
+| `AbortCode` | `int` | Optional status code for the abort |
+
+### Aborting an Operation
+
+```go
+handler.Hooks().Register(resolvemcp.BeforeDelete, func(ctx *resolvemcp.HookContext) error {
+    ctx.Abort = true
+    ctx.AbortMessage = "deletion is disabled"
+    return nil
+})
+```
+
+### Managing Hooks
+
+```go
+registry := handler.Hooks()
+registry.HasHooks(resolvemcp.BeforeCreate)   // bool
+registry.Clear(resolvemcp.BeforeCreate)      // remove hooks for one type
+registry.ClearAll()                          // remove all hooks
+```
+
+---
+
+## Context Helpers
+
+Request metadata is threaded through `context.Context` during handler execution. Hooks and custom tools can read it:
+
+```go
+schema    := resolvemcp.GetSchema(ctx)
+entity    := resolvemcp.GetEntity(ctx)
+tableName := resolvemcp.GetTableName(ctx)
+model     := resolvemcp.GetModel(ctx)
+modelPtr  := resolvemcp.GetModelPtr(ctx)
+```
+
+You can also set values manually (e.g. in middleware):
+
+```go
+ctx = resolvemcp.WithSchema(ctx, "tenant_a")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Adding Custom MCP Tools
+
+Access the underlying `*server.MCPServer` to register additional tools:
+
+```go
+mcpServer := handler.MCPServer()
+mcpServer.AddTool(myTool, myHandler)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Table Name Resolution
+
+The handler resolves table names in priority order:
+
+1. `TableNameProvider` interface — `TableName() string` (can return `"schema.table"`)
+2. `SchemaProvider` interface — `SchemaName() string` (combined with entity name)
+3. Fallback: `schema.entity` (or `schema_entity` for SQLite)

+# ResolveSpec Query Features Examples
+
+This document provides examples of using the advanced query features in ResolveSpec, including OR logic filters, Custom Operators, and FetchRowNumber.
+
+## OR Logic in Filters (SearchOr)
+
+### Basic OR Filter Example
+
+Find all users with status "active" OR "pending":
+
+```json
+POST /users
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "active"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "pending",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Combined AND/OR Filters
+
+Find users with (status="active" OR status="pending") AND age >= 18:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "active"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "pending",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "age",
+        "operator": "gte",
+        "value": 18
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**SQL Generated:** `WHERE (status = 'active' OR status = 'pending') AND age >= 18`
+
+**Important Notes:**
+- By default, filters use AND logic
+- Consecutive filters with `"logic_operator": "OR"` are automatically grouped with parentheses
+- This grouping ensures OR conditions don't interfere with AND conditions
+- You don't need to specify `"logic_operator": "AND"` as it's the default
+
+### Multiple OR Groups
+
+You can have multiple separate OR groups:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "active"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "pending",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "priority",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "high"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "priority",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "urgent",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**SQL Generated:** `WHERE (status = 'active' OR status = 'pending') AND (priority = 'high' OR priority = 'urgent')`
+
+## Custom Operators
+
+### Simple Custom SQL Condition
+
+Filter by email domain using custom SQL:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "company_emails",
+        "sql": "email LIKE '%@company.com'"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Multiple Custom Operators
+
+Combine multiple custom SQL conditions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "recent_active",
+        "sql": "last_login > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'"
+      },
+      {
+        "name": "high_score",
+        "sql": "score > 1000"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Complex Custom Operator
+
+Use complex SQL expressions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "priority_users",
+        "sql": "(subscription = 'premium' AND points > 500) OR (subscription = 'enterprise')"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Combining Custom Operators with Regular Filters
+
+Mix custom operators with standard filters:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "country",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "USA"
+      }
+    ],
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "active_last_month",
+        "sql": "last_activity > NOW() - INTERVAL '1 month'"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Row Numbers
+
+### Two Ways to Get Row Numbers
+
+There are two different features for row numbers:
+
+1. **`fetch_row_number`** - Get the position of ONE specific record in a sorted/filtered set
+2. **`RowNumber` field in models** - Automatically number all records in the response
+
+### 1. FetchRowNumber - Get Position of Specific Record
+
+Get the rank/position of a specific user in a leaderboard. **Important:** When `fetch_row_number` is specified, the response contains **ONLY that specific record**, not all records.
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "sort": [
+      {
+        "column": "score",
+        "direction": "desc"
+      }
+    ],
+    "fetch_row_number": "12345"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Response - Contains ONLY the specified user:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": 12345,
+    "name": "Alice Smith",
+    "score": 9850,
+    "level": 42
+  },
+  "metadata": {
+    "total": 10000,
+    "count": 1,
+    "filtered": 10000,
+    "row_number": 42
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Result:** User "12345" is ranked #42 out of 10,000 users. The response includes only Alice's data, not the other 9,999 users.
+
+### Row Number with Filters
+
+Find position within a filtered subset (e.g., "What's my rank in my country?"):
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "country",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "USA"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "active"
+      }
+    ],
+    "sort": [
+      {
+        "column": "score",
+        "direction": "desc"
+      }
+    ],
+    "fetch_row_number": "12345"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": 12345,
+    "name": "Bob Johnson",
+    "country": "USA",
+    "score": 7200,
+    "status": "active"
+  },
+  "metadata": {
+    "total": 2500,
+    "count": 1,
+    "filtered": 2500,
+    "row_number": 156
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Result:** Bob is ranked #156 out of 2,500 active USA users. Only Bob's record is returned.
+
+### 2. RowNumber Field - Auto-Number All Records
+
+If your model has a `RowNumber int64` field, restheadspec will automatically populate it for paginated results.
+
+**Model Definition:**
+```go
+type Player struct {
+    ID        int64  `json:"id"`
+    Name      string `json:"name"`
+    Score     int64  `json:"score"`
+    RowNumber int64  `json:"row_number"` // Will be auto-populated
+}
+```
+
+**Request (with pagination):**
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "sort": [{"column": "score", "direction": "desc"}],
+    "limit": 10,
+    "offset": 20
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Response - RowNumber automatically set:**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": [
+    {
+      "id": 456,
+      "name": "Player21",
+      "score": 8900,
+      "row_number": 21
+    },
+    {
+      "id": 789,
+      "name": "Player22",
+      "score": 8850,
+      "row_number": 22
+    },
+    {
+      "id": 123,
+      "name": "Player23",
+      "score": 8800,
+      "row_number": 23
+    }
+    // ... records 24-30 ...
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**How It Works:**
+- `row_number = offset + index + 1` (1-based)
+- With offset=20, first record gets row_number=21
+- With offset=20, second record gets row_number=22
+- Perfect for displaying "Rank" in paginated tables
+
+**Use Case:** Displaying leaderboards with rank numbers:
+```
+Rank | Player    | Score
+-----|-----------|-------
+21   | Player21  | 8900
+22   | Player22  | 8850
+23   | Player23  | 8800
+```
+
+**Note:** This feature is available in all three packages: resolvespec, restheadspec, and websocketspec.
+
+### When to Use Each Feature
+
+| Feature | Use Case | Returns | Performance |
+|---------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `fetch_row_number` | "What's my rank?" | 1 record with position | Fast - 1 record |
+| `RowNumber` field | "Show top 10 with ranks" | Many records numbered | Fast - simple math |
+
+**Combined Example - Full Leaderboard UI:**
+
+```javascript
+// Request 1: Get current user's rank
+const userRank = await api.read({
+  fetch_row_number: currentUserId,
+  sort: [{column: "score", direction: "desc"}]
+});
+// Returns: {id: 123, name: "You", score: 7500, row_number: 156}
+
+// Request 2: Get top 10 with rank numbers
+const top10 = await api.read({
+  sort: [{column: "score", direction: "desc"}],
+  limit: 10,
+  offset: 0
+});
+// Returns: [{row_number: 1, ...}, {row_number: 2, ...}, ...]
+
+// Display:
+// "Your Rank: #156"
+// "Top Players:"
+// "#1 - Alice - 9999"
+// "#2 - Bob - 9876"
+// ...
+```
+
+## Complete Example: Advanced Query
+
+Combine all features for a complex query:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "columns": ["id", "name", "email", "score", "status"],
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "active"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "trial",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "score",
+        "operator": "gte",
+        "value": 100
+      }
+    ],
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "recent_activity",
+        "sql": "last_login > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'"
+      },
+      {
+        "name": "verified_email",
+        "sql": "email_verified = true"
+      }
+    ],
+    "sort": [
+      {
+        "column": "score",
+        "direction": "desc"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "created_at",
+        "direction": "asc"
+      }
+    ],
+    "fetch_row_number": "12345",
+    "limit": 50,
+    "offset": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This query:
+- Selects specific columns
+- Filters for users with status "active" OR "trial"
+- AND score >= 100
+- Applies custom SQL conditions for recent activity and verified emails
+- Sorts by score (descending) then creation date (ascending)
+- Returns the row number of user "12345" in this filtered/sorted set
+- Returns 50 records starting from the first one
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### 1. Leaderboards - Get Current User's Rank
+
+Get the current user's position and data (returns only their record):
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "game_id",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "game123"
+      }
+    ],
+    "sort": [
+      {
+        "column": "score",
+        "direction": "desc"
+      }
+    ],
+    "fetch_row_number": "current_user_id"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Tip:** For full leaderboards, make two requests:
+1. One with `fetch_row_number` to get user's rank
+2. One with `limit` and `offset` to get top players list
+
+### 2. Multi-Status Search
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "order_status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "pending"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "order_status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "processing",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      },
+      {
+        "column": "order_status",
+        "operator": "eq",
+        "value": "shipped",
+        "logic_operator": "OR"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Advanced Date Filtering
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "this_month",
+        "sql": "created_at >= DATE_TRUNC('month', CURRENT_DATE)"
+      },
+      {
+        "name": "business_hours",
+        "sql": "EXTRACT(HOUR FROM created_at) BETWEEN 9 AND 17"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+**Warning:** Custom operators allow raw SQL, which can be a security risk if not properly handled:
+
+1. **Never** directly interpolate user input into custom operator SQL
+2. Always validate and sanitize custom operator SQL on the backend
+3. Consider using a whitelist of allowed custom operators
+4. Use prepared statements or parameterized queries when possible
+5. Implement proper authorization checks before executing queries
+
+Example of safe custom operator handling in Go:
+
+```go
+// Whitelist of allowed custom operators
+allowedOperators := map[string]string{
+    "recent_week": "created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'",
+    "active_users": "status = 'active' AND last_login > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'",
+    "premium_only": "subscription_level = 'premium'",
+}
+
+// Validate custom operators from request
+for _, op := range req.Options.CustomOperators {
+    if sql, ok := allowedOperators[op.Name]; ok {
+        op.SQL = sql  // Use whitelisted SQL
+    } else {
+        return errors.New("custom operator not allowed: " + op.Name)
+    }
+}
+```

+
+This grouping ensures OR conditions don't interfere with other AND conditions in the query.
+
+### Custom Operators
+
+Add custom SQL conditions when needed:
+
+```json
+{

+  "options": {
+    "customOperators": [
+      {
+        "name": "email_domain_filter",

+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Custom operators are applied as additional WHERE conditions to your query.
+
+### Fetch Row Number
+
+Get the row number (position) of a specific record in the filtered and sorted result set. **When `fetch_row_number` is specified, only that specific record is returned** (not all records).
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation": "read",
+  "options": {
+    "filters": [
+      {
+        "column": "status",

+        "value": "active"
+      }
+    ],
+    "sort": [
+      {
+        "column": "score",
+        "direction": "desc"
+      }
+    ],
+    "fetch_row_number": "12345"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Response - Returns ONLY the specified record with its position:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": 12345,
+    "name": "John Doe",
+    "score": 850,
+    "status": "active"
+  },
+  "metadata": {
+    "total": 1000,
+    "count": 1,
+    "filtered": 1000,
+    "row_number": 42
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Use Case:** Perfect for "Show me this user and their ranking" - you get just that one user with their position in the leaderboard.
+
+**Note:** This is different from the `RowNumber` field feature, which automatically numbers all records in a paginated response based on offset. That feature uses simple math (`offset + index + 1`), while `fetch_row_number` uses SQL window functions to calculate the actual position in a sorted/filtered set. To use the `RowNumber` field feature, simply add a `RowNumber int64` field to your model - it will be automatically populated with the row position based on pagination.

+# Keystore
+
+Per-user named auth keys with pluggable storage. Each user can hold multiple keys of different types — JWT secrets, header API keys, OAuth2 client credentials, or generic API keys. Keys are identified by a human-readable name ("CI deploy", "mobile app") and can carry scopes and arbitrary metadata.
+
+## Key types
+
+| Constant | Value | Use case |
+|---|---|---|
+| `KeyTypeJWTSecret` | `jwt_secret` | Per-user JWT signing secret |
+| `KeyTypeHeaderAPI` | `header_api` | Static API key sent in a request header |
+| `KeyTypeOAuth2` | `oauth2` | OAuth2 client credentials |
+| `KeyTypeGenericAPI` | `api` | General-purpose application key |
+
+## Storage backends
+
+### ConfigKeyStore
+
+In-memory store seeded from a static list. Suitable for a small, fixed set of service-account keys loaded from a config file. Keys created at runtime via `CreateKey` are held in memory and lost on restart.
+
+```go
+// Pre-load keys from config (KeyHash = SHA-256 hex of the raw key)
+store := security.NewConfigKeyStore([]security.UserKey{
+    {
+        UserID:  1,
+        KeyType: security.KeyTypeGenericAPI,
+        KeyHash: "e3b0c44298fc1c149afb...", // sha256(rawKey)
+        Name:    "CI deploy",
+        Scopes:  []string{"deploy"},
+        IsActive: true,
+    },
+})
+```
+
+### DatabaseKeyStore
+
+Backed by PostgreSQL stored procedures. Supports optional caching (default 2-minute TTL). Apply `keystore_schema.sql` before use.
+
+```go
+db, _ := sql.Open("postgres", dsn)
+
+store := security.NewDatabaseKeyStore(db)
+
+// With options
+store = security.NewDatabaseKeyStore(db, security.DatabaseKeyStoreOptions{
+    CacheTTL: 5 * time.Minute,
+    SQLNames: &security.KeyStoreSQLNames{
+        ValidateKey: "myapp_keystore_validate", // override one procedure name
+    },
+})
+```
+
+## Managing keys
+
+```go
+ctx := context.Background()
+
+// Create — raw key returned once; store it securely
+resp, err := store.CreateKey(ctx, security.CreateKeyRequest{
+    UserID:  42,
+    KeyType: security.KeyTypeGenericAPI,
+    Name:    "mobile app",
+    Scopes:  []string{"read", "write"},
+})
+fmt.Println(resp.RawKey) // only shown here; hashed internally
+
+// List
+keys, err := store.GetUserKeys(ctx, 42, "") // "" = all types
+keys, err  = store.GetUserKeys(ctx, 42, security.KeyTypeGenericAPI)
+
+// Revoke
+err = store.DeleteKey(ctx, 42, resp.Key.ID)
+
+// Validate (used by authenticators internally)
+key, err := store.ValidateKey(ctx, rawKey, "")
+```
+
+## HTTP authentication
+
+`KeyStoreAuthenticator` wraps any `KeyStore` and implements the `Authenticator` interface. It is drop-in compatible with `DatabaseAuthenticator` and works in `CompositeSecurityProvider`.
+
+Keys are extracted from the request in this order:
+
+1. `Authorization: Bearer <key>`
+2. `Authorization: ApiKey <key>`
+3. `X-API-Key: <key>`
+
+```go
+auth := security.NewKeyStoreAuthenticator(store, "") // "" = accept any key type
+// Restrict to a specific type:
+auth = security.NewKeyStoreAuthenticator(store, security.KeyTypeGenericAPI)
+```
+
+Plug it into a handler:
+
+```go
+handler := resolvespec.NewHandler(db, registry,
+    resolvespec.WithAuthenticator(auth),
+)
+```
+
+`Login` and `Logout` return an error — key lifecycle is managed through `KeyStore` directly.
+
+On successful validation the request context receives a `UserContext` where:
+
+- `UserID` — from the key
+- `Roles` — the key's `Scopes`
+- `Claims["key_type"]` — key type string
+- `Claims["key_name"]` — key name
+
+## Database setup
+
+Apply `keystore_schema.sql` to your PostgreSQL database. It requires the `users` table from the main `database_schema.sql`.
+
+```sql
+\i pkg/security/keystore_schema.sql
+```
+
+This creates:
+
+- `user_keys` table with indexes on `user_id`, `key_hash`, and `key_type`
+- `resolvespec_keystore_get_user_keys(p_user_id, p_key_type)`
+- `resolvespec_keystore_create_key(p_request jsonb)`
+- `resolvespec_keystore_delete_key(p_user_id, p_key_id)`
+- `resolvespec_keystore_validate_key(p_key_hash, p_key_type)`
+
+### Custom procedure names
+
+```go
+store := security.NewDatabaseKeyStore(db, security.DatabaseKeyStoreOptions{
+    SQLNames: &security.KeyStoreSQLNames{
+        GetUserKeys: "myschema_get_keys",
+        CreateKey:   "myschema_create_key",
+        DeleteKey:   "myschema_delete_key",
+        ValidateKey: "myschema_validate_key",
+    },
+})
+
+// Validate names at startup
+names := &security.KeyStoreSQLNames{
+    GetUserKeys: "myschema_get_keys",
+    // ...
+}
+if err := security.ValidateKeyStoreSQLNames(names); err != nil {
+    log.Fatal(err)
+}
+```
+
+## Security notes
+
+- Raw keys are never stored. Only the SHA-256 hex digest is persisted.
+- The raw key is generated with `crypto/rand` (32 bytes, base64url-encoded) and returned exactly once in `CreateKeyResponse.RawKey`.
+- Hash comparisons in `ConfigKeyStore` use `crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` to prevent timing side-channels.
+- `DeleteKey` performs a soft delete (`is_active = false`). The `DatabaseKeyStore` invalidates the cache entry immediately, but due to the cache TTL a revoked key may authenticate for up to `CacheTTL` (default 2 minutes) in a distributed environment. Set `CacheTTL: 0` to disable caching if immediate revocation is required.

+
+// Same routes pattern as Google

+    db,
+)
+```
+
+## Custom OAuth2 Provider
+
+```go
+oauth2Auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+    ClientID:     "your-client-id",
+    ClientSecret: "your-client-secret",
+    RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/callback",
+    Scopes:       []string{"openid", "profile", "email"},
+    AuthURL:      "https://your-provider.com/oauth/authorize",
+    TokenURL:     "https://your-provider.com/oauth/token",
+    UserInfoURL:  "https://your-provider.com/oauth/userinfo",
+    DB:           db,
+    ProviderName: "custom",
+
+    // Optional: Custom user info parser
+    UserInfoParser: func(userInfo map[string]any) (*security.UserContext, error) {
+        return &security.UserContext{
+            UserName:  userInfo["username"].(string),
+            Email:     userInfo["email"].(string),
+            RemoteID:  userInfo["id"].(string),
+            UserLevel: 1,
+            Roles:     []string{"user"},
+            Claims:    userInfo,
+        }, nil
+    },
+})
+```
+
+## Protected Routes
+
+```go
+// Create security provider
+colSec := security.NewDatabaseColumnSecurityProvider(db)
+rowSec := security.NewDatabaseRowSecurityProvider(db)
+provider, _ := security.NewCompositeSecurityProvider(oauth2Auth, colSec, rowSec)
+securityList, _ := security.NewSecurityList(provider)
+
+// Apply middleware to protected routes
+protectedRouter := router.PathPrefix("/api").Subrouter()
+protectedRouter.Use(security.NewAuthMiddleware(securityList))
+protectedRouter.Use(security.SetSecurityMiddleware(securityList))
+
+protectedRouter.HandleFunc("/profile", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    userCtx, _ := security.GetUserContext(r.Context())
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(userCtx)
+})
+```
+
+## Token Refresh
+
+OAuth2 access tokens expire after a period of time. Use the refresh token to obtain a new access token without requiring the user to log in again.
+
+```go
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    var req struct {
+        RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+        Provider     string `json:"provider"` // "google", "github", etc.
+    }
+    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+
+    // Default to google if not specified
+    if req.Provider == "" {
+        req.Provider = "google"
+    }
+
+    // Use OAuth2-specific refresh method
+    loginResp, err := oauth2Auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, req.Provider)
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Set new session cookie
+    http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+        Name:     "session_token",
+        Value:    loginResp.Token,
+        Path:     "/",
+        MaxAge:   int(loginResp.ExpiresIn),
+        HttpOnly: true,
+        Secure:   true,
+    })
+
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+})
+```
+
+**Important Notes:**
+- The refresh token is returned in the `LoginResponse.RefreshToken` field after successful OAuth2 callback
+- Store the refresh token securely on the client side
+- Each provider must be configured with the appropriate scopes to receive a refresh token (e.g., `access_type=offline` for Google)
+- The `OAuth2RefreshToken` method requires the provider name to identify which OAuth2 provider to use for refreshing
+
+## Logout
+
+```go
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/logout", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    userCtx, _ := security.GetUserContext(r.Context())
+    
+    oauth2Auth.Logout(r.Context(), security.LogoutRequest{
+        Token:  userCtx.SessionID,
+        UserID: userCtx.UserID,
+    })
+
+    http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+        Name:   "session_token",
+        Value:  "",
+        MaxAge: -1,
+    })
+
+    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
+})
+```
+
+## Multi-Provider Setup
+
+```go
+// Single DatabaseAuthenticator with ALL OAuth2 providers
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "google-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "google-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"openid", "profile", "email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
+        TokenURL:     "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
+        ProviderName: "google",
+    }).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "github-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "github-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"user:email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize",

+        UserInfoURL:  "https://api.github.com/user",
+        ProviderName: "github",
+    })
+
+// Get list of configured providers
+providers := auth.OAuth2GetProviders() // ["google", "github"]
+
+// Google routes
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/login", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    state, _ := auth.OAuth2GenerateState()
+    authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("google", state)
+    http.Redirect(w, r, authURL, http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/callback", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2HandleCallback(r.Context(), "google", 
+        r.URL.Query().Get("code"), r.URL.Query().Get("state"))
+    // ... handle response
+})
+
+// GitHub routes

+        r.URL.Query().Get("code"), r.URL.Query().Get("state"))
+    // ... handle response
+})
+
+// Use same authenticator for protected routes - works for ALL providers
+provider, _ := security.NewCompositeSecurityProvider(auth, colSec, rowSec)
+securityList, _ := security.NewSecurityList(provider)
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### OAuth2Config Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| ClientID | string | OAuth2 client ID from provider |
+| ClientSecret | string | OAuth2 client secret |
+| RedirectURL | string | Callback URL registered with provider |
+| Scopes | []string | OAuth2 scopes to request |
+| AuthURL | string | Provider's authorization endpoint |
+| TokenURL | string | Provider's token endpoint |
+| UserInfoURL | string | Provider's user info endpoint |
+| DB | *sql.DB | Database connection for sessions |
+| UserInfoParser | func | Custom parser for user info (optional) |
+| StateValidator | func | Custom state validator (optional) |
+| ProviderName | string | Provider name for logging (optional) |
+
+## User Info Parsing
+
+The default parser extracts these standard fields:
+- `sub` → RemoteID
+- `email` → Email, UserName
+- `name` → UserName
+- `login` → UserName (GitHub)
+
+Custom parser example:
+
+```go
+UserInfoParser: func(userInfo map[string]any) (*security.UserContext, error) {
+    // Extract custom fields
+    ctx := &security.UserContext{
+        UserName:  userInfo["preferred_username"].(string),
+        Email:     userInfo["email"].(string),
+        RemoteID:  userInfo["sub"].(string),
+        UserLevel: 1,
+        Roles:     []string{"user"},
+        Claims:    userInfo, // Store all claims
+    }
+
+    // Add custom roles based on provider data
+    if groups, ok := userInfo["groups"].([]interface{}); ok {
+        for _, g := range groups {
+            ctx.Roles = append(ctx.Roles, g.(string))
+        }
+    }
+
+    return ctx, nil
+}
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use HTTPS in production**
+   ```go
+   http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+       Secure:   true,  // Only send over HTTPS
+       HttpOnly: true,  // Prevent XSS access
+       SameSite: http.SameSiteLaxMode, // CSRF protection
+   })
+   ```
+
+2. **Store secrets securely**
+   ```go
+   clientID := os.Getenv("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID")
+   clientSecret := os.Getenv("GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET")
+   ```
+
+3. **Validate redirect URLs**
+   - Only register trusted redirect URLs with OAuth2 providers
+   - Never accept redirect URL from request parameters
+
+5. **Session expiration**
+   - OAuth2 sessions automatically expire based on token expiry
+   - Clean up expired sessions periodically:
+   ```sql
+   DELETE FROM user_sessions WHERE expires_at < NOW();
+   ```
+
+4. **State parameter**
+   - Automatically generated with cryptographic randomness
+   - One-time use and expires after 10 minutes
+   - Prevents CSRF attacks
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+All database operations use stored procedures for consistency and security:
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getorcreateuser` - Find or create OAuth2 user
+- `resolvespec_oauth_createsession` - Create OAuth2 session
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getsession` - Validate and retrieve session
+- `resolvespec_oauth_deletesession` - Logout/delete session
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getrefreshtoken` - Get session by refresh token
+- `resolvespec_oauth_updaterefreshtoken` - Update tokens after refresh
+- `resolvespec_oauth_getuser` - Get user data by ID
+
+## Provider Setup Guides
+
+### Google
+
+1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
+2. Create a new project or select existing
+3. Enable Google+ API
+4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
+5. Add authorized redirect URI: `http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback`
+6. Copy Client ID and Client Secret
+
+### GitHub
+
+1. Go to [GitHub Developer Settings](https://github.com/settings/developers)
+2. Click "New OAuth App"
+3. Set Homepage URL: `http://localhost:8080`
+4. Set Authorization callback URL: `http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback`
+5. Copy Client ID and Client Secret
+
+### Microsoft
+
+1. Go to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
+2. Register new application in Azure AD
+3. Add redirect URI: `http://localhost:8080/auth/microsoft/callback`
+4. Create client secret
+5. Copy Application (client) ID and secret value
+
+### Facebook
+
+1. Go to [Facebook Developers](https://developers.facebook.com/)
+2. Create new app
+3. Add Facebook Login product
+4. Set Valid OAuth Redirect URIs: `http://localhost:8080/auth/facebook/callback`
+5. Copy App ID and App Secret
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "redirect_uri_mismatch" error
+- Ensure the redirect URL in code matches exactly with provider configuration
+- Include protocol (http/https), domain, port, and path
+
+### "invalid_client" error
+- Verify Client ID and Client Secret are correct
+- Check if credentials are for the correct environment (dev/prod)
+
+### "invalid_grant" error during token exchange
+- State parameter validation failed
+- Token might have expired
+- Check server time synchronization
+
+### User not created after successful OAuth2 login
+- Check database constraints (username/email unique)
+- Verify UserInfoParser is extracting required fields
+- Check database logs for constraint violations
+
+## Testing
+
+```go
+func TestOAuth2Flow(t *testing.T) {
+    // Mock database
+    db, mock, _ := sqlmock.New()
+    
+    oauth2Auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+        "test-client-id",
+        "test-client-secret",
+        "http://localhost/callback",
+        db,
+    )
+
+    // Test state generation
+    state, err := oauth2Auth.GenerateState()
+    assert.NoError(t, err)
+    assert.NotEmpty(t, state)
+
+    // Test auth URL generation
+    authURL := oauth2Auth.GetAuthURL(state)
+    assert.Contains(t, authURL, "accounts.google.com")
+    assert.Contains(t, authURL, state)
+}
+```

+# OAuth2 Refresh Token - Quick Reference
+
+## Quick Setup (3 Steps)
+
+### 1. Initialize Authenticator
+```go
+auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+    "client-id",
+    "client-secret", 
+    "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+    db,
+)
+```
+
+### 2. OAuth2 Login Flow
+```go
+// Login - Redirect to Google
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/login", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    state, _ := auth.OAuth2GenerateState()
+    authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("google", state)
+    http.Redirect(w, r, authURL, http.StatusTemporaryRedirect)
+})
+
+// Callback - Store tokens
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/google/callback", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    loginResp, _ := auth.OAuth2HandleCallback(
+        r.Context(),
+        "google",
+        r.URL.Query().Get("code"),
+        r.URL.Query().Get("state"),
+    )
+    
+    // Save refresh_token on client
+    // loginResp.RefreshToken - Store this securely!
+    // loginResp.Token - Session token for API calls
+})
+```
+
+### 3. Refresh Endpoint
+```go
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    var req struct {
+        RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+    }
+    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+    
+    // Refresh token
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, "google")
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), 401)
+        return
+    }
+    
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Provider Example
+
+```go
+// Configure multiple providers
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ProviderName: "google",

+- `resolvespec_oauth_getuser(user_id)` - Get user data
+
+All procedures return: `{p_success bool, p_error text, p_data jsonb}`
+
+---
+
+## Common Errors
+
+| Error | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| `invalid or expired refresh token` | Token revoked/expired | Re-authenticate user |
+| `OAuth2 provider 'xxx' not found` | Provider not configured | Add with `WithOAuth2()` |
+| `failed to refresh token with provider` | Provider rejected request | Check credentials, re-auth user |
+
+---
+
+## Security Checklist
+
+- [ ] Use HTTPS for all OAuth2 endpoints
+- [ ] Store refresh tokens securely (HttpOnly cookies or encrypted storage)
+- [ ] Set cookie flags: `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Strict`
+- [ ] Implement rate limiting on refresh endpoint
+- [ ] Log refresh attempts for audit
+- [ ] Rotate tokens on refresh
+- [ ] Revoke old sessions after successful refresh
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# 1. Login and get refresh token
+curl http://localhost:8080/auth/google/login
+# Follow OAuth2 flow, get refresh_token from callback response
+
+# 2. Refresh token
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/auth/refresh \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"refresh_token":"ya29.xxx","provider":"google"}'
+
+# 3. Use new token
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/protected \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer sess_abc123..."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pre-configured Providers
+
+```go
+// Google
+auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// GitHub  
+auth := security.NewGitHubAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// Microsoft
+auth := security.NewMicrosoftAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// Facebook
+auth := security.NewFacebookAuthenticator(clientID, secret, redirectURL, db)
+
+// All providers at once
+auth := security.NewMultiProviderAuthenticator(db, map[string]security.OAuth2Config{
+    "google": {...},
+    "github": {...},
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Provider-Specific Notes
+
+### Google
+- Add `access_type=offline` to get refresh token
+- Add `prompt=consent` to force consent screen
+```go
+authURL += "&access_type=offline&prompt=consent"
+```
+
+### GitHub
+- Refresh tokens not always provided
+- May need to request `offline_access` scope
+
+### Microsoft
+- Use `offline_access` scope for refresh token
+
+### Facebook
+- Tokens expire after 60 days by default
+- Check app settings for token expiration policy

+# OAuth2 Refresh Token Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+OAuth2 refresh token functionality is **fully implemented** in the ResolveSpec security package. This allows refreshing expired access tokens without requiring users to re-authenticate.
+
+## Implementation Status: ✅ COMPLETE
+
+### Components Implemented
+
+1. **✅ Database Schema** - Tables and stored procedures
+2. **✅ Go Methods** - OAuth2RefreshToken implementation
+3. **✅ Thread Safety** - Mutex protection for provider map
+4. **✅ Examples** - Working code examples
+5. **✅ Documentation** - Complete API reference
+
+---
+
+## 1. Database Schema
+
+### Tables Modified
+
+```sql
+-- user_sessions table with OAuth2 token fields
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user_sessions (
+    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
+    session_token VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    expires_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    last_activity_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+    ip_address VARCHAR(45),
+    user_agent TEXT,
+    access_token TEXT,          -- OAuth2 access token
+    refresh_token TEXT,         -- OAuth2 refresh token
+    token_type VARCHAR(50),     -- "Bearer", etc.
+    auth_provider VARCHAR(50)   -- "google", "github", etc.
+);
+```
+
+### Stored Procedures
+
+**`resolvespec_oauth_getrefreshtoken(p_refresh_token)`**
+- Gets OAuth2 session data by refresh token
+- Returns: `{user_id, access_token, token_type, expiry}`
+- Location: `database_schema.sql:714`
+
+**`resolvespec_oauth_updaterefreshtoken(p_update_data)`**
+- Updates session with new tokens after refresh
+- Input: `{user_id, old_refresh_token, new_session_token, new_access_token, new_refresh_token, expires_at}`
+- Location: `database_schema.sql:752`
+
+**`resolvespec_oauth_getuser(p_user_id)`**
+- Gets user data by ID for building UserContext
+- Location: `database_schema.sql:791`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Go Implementation
+
+### Method Signature
+
+```go
+func (a *DatabaseAuthenticator) OAuth2RefreshToken(
+    ctx context.Context,
+    refreshToken string,
+    providerName string,
+) (*LoginResponse, error)
+```
+
+**Location:** `pkg/security/oauth2_methods.go:375`
+
+### Implementation Flow
+
+```
+1. Validate provider exists
+   ├─ getOAuth2Provider(providerName) with RLock
+   └─ Return error if provider not configured
+
+2. Get session from database
+   ├─ Call resolvespec_oauth_getrefreshtoken(refreshToken)
+   └─ Parse session data {user_id, access_token, token_type, expiry}
+
+3. Refresh token with OAuth2 provider
+   ├─ Create oauth2.Token from stored data
+   ├─ Use provider.config.TokenSource(ctx, oldToken)
+   └─ Call tokenSource.Token() to get new token
+
+4. Generate new session token
+   └─ Use OAuth2GenerateState() for secure random token
+
+5. Update database
+   ├─ Call resolvespec_oauth_updaterefreshtoken()
+   └─ Store new session_token, access_token, refresh_token
+
+6. Get user data
+   ├─ Call resolvespec_oauth_getuser(user_id)
+   └─ Build UserContext
+
+7. Return LoginResponse
+   └─ {Token, RefreshToken, User, ExpiresIn}
+```
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+**Mutex Protection:** All access to `oauth2Providers` map is protected with `sync.RWMutex`
+
+```go
+type DatabaseAuthenticator struct {
+    oauth2Providers      map[string]*OAuth2Provider
+    oauth2ProvidersMutex sync.RWMutex  // Thread-safe access
+}
+
+// Read operations use RLock
+func (a *DatabaseAuthenticator) getOAuth2Provider(name string) {
+    a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.RLock()
+    defer a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.RUnlock()
+    // ... access map
+}
+
+// Write operations use Lock
+func (a *DatabaseAuthenticator) WithOAuth2(cfg OAuth2Config) {
+    a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.Lock()
+    defer a.oauth2ProvidersMutex.Unlock()
+    // ... modify map
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Usage Examples
+
+### Single Provider (Google)
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "database/sql"
+    "encoding/json"
+    "net/http"
+    "github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/security"
+    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    db, _ := sql.Open("postgres", "connection-string")
+    
+    // Create Google OAuth2 authenticator
+    auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(
+        "your-client-id",
+        "your-client-secret",
+        "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+        db,
+    )
+    
+    router := mux.NewRouter()
+    
+    // Token refresh endpoint
+    router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        var req struct {
+            RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+        }
+        json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+        
+        // Refresh token (provider name defaults to "google")
+        loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, "google")
+        if err != nil {
+            http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+            return
+        }
+        
+        // Set new session cookie
+        http.SetCookie(w, &http.Cookie{
+            Name:     "session_token",
+            Value:    loginResp.Token,
+            Path:     "/",
+            MaxAge:   int(loginResp.ExpiresIn),
+            HttpOnly: true,
+            Secure:   true,
+        })
+        
+        json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+    })
+    
+    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
+}
+```
+
+### Multi-Provider Setup
+
+```go
+// Single authenticator with multiple OAuth2 providers
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "google-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "google-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"openid", "profile", "email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
+        TokenURL:     "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
+        ProviderName: "google",
+    }).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ClientID:     "github-client-id",
+        ClientSecret: "github-client-secret",
+        RedirectURL:  "http://localhost:8080/auth/github/callback",
+        Scopes:       []string{"user:email"},
+        AuthURL:      "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize",
+        TokenURL:     "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token",
+        UserInfoURL:  "https://api.github.com/user",
+        ProviderName: "github",
+    })
+
+// Refresh endpoint with provider selection
+router.HandleFunc("/auth/refresh", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    var req struct {
+        RefreshToken string `json:"refresh_token"`
+        Provider     string `json:"provider"` // "google" or "github"
+    }
+    json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req)
+    
+    // Refresh with specific provider
+    loginResp, err := auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(r.Context(), req.RefreshToken, req.Provider)
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusUnauthorized)
+        return
+    }
+    
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(loginResp)
+})
+```
+
+### Client-Side Usage
+
+```javascript
+// JavaScript client example
+async function refreshAccessToken() {
+    const refreshToken = localStorage.getItem('refresh_token');
+    const provider = localStorage.getItem('auth_provider'); // "google", "github", etc.
+    
+    const response = await fetch('/auth/refresh', {
+        method: 'POST',
+        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+        body: JSON.stringify({
+            refresh_token: refreshToken,
+            provider: provider
+        })
+    });
+    
+    if (response.ok) {
+        const data = await response.json();
+        
+        // Store new tokens
+        localStorage.setItem('access_token', data.token);
+        localStorage.setItem('refresh_token', data.refresh_token);
+        
+        console.log('Token refreshed successfully');
+        return data.token;
+    } else {
+        // Refresh failed - redirect to login
+        window.location.href = '/login';
+    }
+}
+
+// Automatically refresh token when API returns 401
+async function apiCall(endpoint) {
+    let response = await fetch(endpoint, {
+        headers: {
+            'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + localStorage.getItem('access_token')
+        }
+    });
+    
+    if (response.status === 401) {
+        // Token expired - try refresh
+        const newToken = await refreshAccessToken();
+        
+        // Retry with new token
+        response = await fetch(endpoint, {
+            headers: {
+                'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + newToken
+            }
+        });
+    }
+    
+    return response.json();
+}
+```

+## 4. API Reference
+
+### DatabaseAuthenticator Methods
+
+| Method | Signature | Description |
+|--------|-----------|-------------|
+| `OAuth2RefreshToken` | `(ctx, refreshToken, provider) (*LoginResponse, error)` | Refreshes expired OAuth2 access token |
+| `WithOAuth2` | `(cfg OAuth2Config) *DatabaseAuthenticator` | Adds OAuth2 provider (chainable) |
+| `OAuth2GetAuthURL` | `(provider, state) (string, error)` | Gets authorization URL |
+| `OAuth2HandleCallback` | `(ctx, provider, code, state) (*LoginResponse, error)` | Handles OAuth2 callback |
+| `OAuth2GenerateState` | `() (string, error)` | Generates CSRF state token |
+| `OAuth2GetProviders` | `() []string` | Lists configured providers |
+
+### LoginResponse Structure
+
+```go
+type LoginResponse struct {
+    Token        string       // New session token
+    RefreshToken string       // New refresh token (may be same as input)
+    User         *UserContext // User information
+    ExpiresIn    int64        // Seconds until expiration
+}
+
+type UserContext struct {
+    UserID    int      // Database user ID
+    UserName  string   // Username
+    Email     string   // Email address
+    UserLevel int      // Permission level
+    SessionID string   // Session token
+    RemoteID  string   // OAuth2 provider user ID
+    Roles     []string // User roles
+    Claims    map[string]any // Additional claims
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Important Notes
+
+### Provider Configuration
+
+**For Google:** Add `access_type=offline` to get refresh token on first login:
+
+```go
+auth := security.NewGoogleAuthenticator(clientID, clientSecret, redirectURL, db)
+// When generating auth URL, add access_type parameter
+authURL, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURL("google", state)
+authURL += "&access_type=offline&prompt=consent"
+```
+
+**For GitHub:** Refresh tokens are not always provided. Check provider documentation.
+
+### Token Storage
+
+- Store refresh tokens securely on client (localStorage, secure cookie, etc.)
+- Never log refresh tokens
+- Refresh tokens are long-lived (days/months depending on provider)
+- Access tokens are short-lived (minutes/hours)
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Common errors:
+- `"invalid or expired refresh token"` - Token expired or revoked
+- `"OAuth2 provider 'xxx' not found"` - Provider not configured
+- `"failed to refresh token with provider"` - Provider rejected refresh request
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use HTTPS** for token transmission
+2. **Store refresh tokens securely** on client
+3. **Set appropriate cookie flags**: `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite`
+4. **Implement token rotation** - issue new refresh token on each refresh
+5. **Revoke old tokens** after successful refresh
+6. **Rate limit** refresh endpoints
+7. **Log refresh attempts** for audit trail
+
+---
+
+## 6. Testing
+
+### Manual Test Flow
+
+1. **Initial Login:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8080/auth/google/login
+   # Follow redirect to Google
+   # Returns to callback with LoginResponse containing refresh_token
+   ```
+
+2. **Wait for Token Expiry (or manually expire in DB)**
+
+3. **Refresh Token:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/auth/refresh \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+       "refresh_token": "ya29.a0AfH6SMB...",
+       "provider": "google"
+     }'
+   
+   # Response:
+   {
+     "token": "sess_abc123...",
+     "refresh_token": "ya29.a0AfH6SMB...",
+     "user": {
+       "user_id": 1,
+       "user_name": "john_doe",
+       "email": "john@example.com",
+       "session_id": "sess_abc123..."
+     },
+     "expires_in": 3600
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Use New Token:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8080/api/protected \
+     -H "Authorization: Bearer sess_abc123..."
+   ```
+
+### Database Verification
+
+```sql
+-- Check session with refresh token
+SELECT session_token, user_id, expires_at, refresh_token, auth_provider
+FROM user_sessions
+WHERE refresh_token = 'ya29.a0AfH6SMB...';
+
+-- Verify token was updated after refresh
+SELECT session_token, access_token, refresh_token, 
+       expires_at, last_activity_at
+FROM user_sessions
+WHERE user_id = 1
+ORDER BY created_at DESC
+LIMIT 1;
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Troubleshooting
+
+### "Refresh token not found or expired"
+
+**Cause:** Refresh token doesn't exist in database or session expired
+
+**Solution:**
+- Check if initial OAuth2 login stored refresh token
+- Verify provider returns refresh token (some require `access_type=offline`)
+- Check session hasn't been deleted from database
+
+### "Failed to refresh token with provider"
+
+**Cause:** OAuth2 provider rejected the refresh request
+
+**Possible reasons:**
+- Refresh token was revoked by user
+- OAuth2 app credentials changed
+- Network connectivity issues
+- Provider rate limiting
+
+**Solution:**
+- Re-authenticate user (full OAuth2 flow)
+- Check provider dashboard for app status
+- Verify client credentials are correct
+
+### "OAuth2 provider 'xxx' not found"
+
+**Cause:** Provider not registered with `WithOAuth2()`
+
+**Solution:**
+```go
+// Make sure provider is configured
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).
+    WithOAuth2(security.OAuth2Config{
+        ProviderName: "google", // This name must match refresh call
+        // ... other config
+    })
+
+// Then use same name in refresh
+auth.OAuth2RefreshToken(ctx, token, "google") // Must match ProviderName
+```
+

+# Passkey Authentication Quick Reference
+
+## Overview
+Passkey authentication (WebAuthn/FIDO2) is now integrated into the DatabaseAuthenticator. This provides passwordless authentication using biometrics, security keys, or device credentials.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Database Schema
+Run the passkey SQL schema (in database_schema.sql):
+- Creates `user_passkey_credentials` table
+- Adds stored procedures for passkey operations
+
+### Go Code
+```go
+// Create passkey provider
+passkeyProvider := security.NewDatabasePasskeyProvider(db, 
+    security.DatabasePasskeyProviderOptions{
+        RPID:     "example.com",
+        RPName:   "Example App",
+        RPOrigin: "https://example.com",
+        Timeout:  60000,
+    })
+
+// Create authenticator with passkey support
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticatorWithOptions(db, 
+    security.DatabaseAuthenticatorOptions{
+        PasskeyProvider: passkeyProvider,
+    })
+
+// Or add passkey to existing authenticator
+auth = security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db).WithPasskey(passkeyProvider)
+```
+
+## Registration Flow
+
+### Backend - Step 1: Begin Registration
+```go
+options, err := auth.BeginPasskeyRegistration(ctx, 
+    security.PasskeyBeginRegistrationRequest{
+        UserID:      1,
+        Username:    "alice",
+        DisplayName: "Alice Smith",
+    })
+// Send options to client as JSON
+```
+
+### Frontend - Step 2: Create Credential
+```javascript
+// Convert options from server
+options.challenge = base64ToArrayBuffer(options.challenge);
+options.user.id = base64ToArrayBuffer(options.user.id);
+
+// Create credential
+const credential = await navigator.credentials.create({
+    publicKey: options
+});
+
+// Send credential back to server
+```
+
+### Backend - Step 3: Complete Registration
+```go
+credential, err := auth.CompletePasskeyRegistration(ctx, 
+    security.PasskeyRegisterRequest{
+        UserID:            1,
+        Response:          clientResponse,
+        ExpectedChallenge: storedChallenge,
+        CredentialName:    "My iPhone",
+    })
+```
+
+## Authentication Flow
+
+### Backend - Step 1: Begin Authentication
+```go
+options, err := auth.BeginPasskeyAuthentication(ctx,
+    security.PasskeyBeginAuthenticationRequest{
+        Username: "alice", // Optional for resident key
+    })
+// Send options to client as JSON
+```
+
+### Frontend - Step 2: Get Credential
+```javascript
+// Convert options from server
+options.challenge = base64ToArrayBuffer(options.challenge);
+
+// Get credential
+const credential = await navigator.credentials.get({
+    publicKey: options
+});
+
+// Send assertion back to server
+```
+
+### Backend - Step 3: Complete Authentication
+```go
+loginResponse, err := auth.LoginWithPasskey(ctx,
+    security.PasskeyLoginRequest{
+        Response:          clientAssertion,
+        ExpectedChallenge: storedChallenge,
+        Claims: map[string]any{
+            "ip_address": "192.168.1.1",
+            "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0...",
+        },
+    })
+// Returns session token and user info
+```
+
+## Credential Management
+
+### List Credentials
+```go
+credentials, err := auth.GetPasskeyCredentials(ctx, userID)
+```
+
+### Update Credential Name
+```go
+err := auth.UpdatePasskeyCredentialName(ctx, userID, credentialID, "New Name")
+```
+
+### Delete Credential
+```go
+err := auth.DeletePasskeyCredential(ctx, userID, credentialID)
+```
+
+## HTTP Endpoints Example
+
+### POST /api/passkey/register/begin
+Request: `{user_id, username, display_name}`
+Response: PasskeyRegistrationOptions
+

+## Database Stored Procedures
+
+- `resolvespec_passkey_store_credential` - Store new credential
+- `resolvespec_passkey_get_credential` - Get credential by ID
+- `resolvespec_passkey_get_user_credentials` - Get all user credentials
+- `resolvespec_passkey_update_counter` - Update sign counter (clone detection)
+- `resolvespec_passkey_delete_credential` - Delete credential
+- `resolvespec_passkey_update_name` - Update credential name
+- `resolvespec_passkey_get_credentials_by_username` - Get credentials for login
+
+## Security Features
+
+- **Clone Detection**: Sign counter validation detects credential cloning
+- **Attestation Support**: Stores attestation type (none, indirect, direct)
+- **Transport Options**: Tracks authenticator transports (usb, nfc, ble, internal)
+- **Backup State**: Tracks if credential is backed up/synced
+- **User Verification**: Supports preferred/required user verification
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **WebAuthn Library**: Current implementation is simplified. For production, use a proper WebAuthn library like `github.com/go-webauthn/webauthn` for full verification.
+
+2. **Challenge Storage**: Store challenges securely in session/cache. Never expose challenges to client beyond initial request.
+
+3. **HTTPS Required**: Passkeys only work over HTTPS (except localhost).
+
+4. **Browser Support**: Check browser compatibility for WebAuthn API.
+
+5. **Relying Party ID**: Must match your domain exactly.

+## Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
+
+### Overview
+
+- **Optional per-user** - Enable/disable 2FA individually
+- **TOTP standard** - Compatible with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.
+- **Configurable** - SHA1/SHA256/SHA512, 6/8 digits, custom time periods
+- **Backup codes** - One-time recovery codes with secure hashing
+- **Clock skew** - Handles time differences between client/server
+
+### Setup
+
+```go
+// 1. Wrap existing authenticator with 2FA support
+baseAuth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(db)
+tfaProvider := security.NewMemoryTwoFactorProvider(nil) // Use custom DB implementation in production
+tfaAuth := security.NewTwoFactorAuthenticator(baseAuth, tfaProvider, nil)
+
+// 2. Use as normal authenticator
+provider := security.NewCompositeSecurityProvider(tfaAuth, colSec, rowSec)
+securityList := security.NewSecurityList(provider)
+```
+
+### Enable 2FA for User
+
+```go
+// 1. Initiate 2FA setup
+secret, err := tfaAuth.Setup2FA(userID, "MyApp", "user@example.com")
+// Returns: secret.Secret, secret.QRCodeURL, secret.BackupCodes
+
+// 2. User scans QR code with authenticator app
+// Display secret.QRCodeURL as QR code image
+
+// 3. User enters verification code from app
+code := "123456" // From authenticator app
+err = tfaAuth.Enable2FA(userID, secret.Secret, code)
+// 2FA is now enabled for this user
+
+// 4. Store backup codes securely and show to user once
+// Display: secret.BackupCodes (10 codes)
+```
+
+### Login Flow with 2FA
+
+```go
+// 1. User provides credentials
+req := security.LoginRequest{
+    Username: "user@example.com",
+    Password: "password",
+}
+
+resp, err := tfaAuth.Login(ctx, req)
+
+// 2. Check if 2FA required
+if resp.Requires2FA {
+    // Prompt user for 2FA code
+    code := getUserInput() // From authenticator app or backup code
+    
+    // 3. Login again with 2FA code
+    req.TwoFactorCode = code
+    resp, err = tfaAuth.Login(ctx, req)
+    
+    // 4. Success - token is returned
+    token := resp.Token
+}
+```
+
+### Manage 2FA
+
+```go
+// Disable 2FA
+err := tfaAuth.Disable2FA(userID)
+
+// Regenerate backup codes
+newCodes, err := tfaAuth.RegenerateBackupCodes(userID, 10)
+
+// Check status
+has2FA, err := tfaProvider.Get2FAStatus(userID)
+```
+
+### Custom 2FA Storage
+
+**Option 1: Use DatabaseTwoFactorProvider (Recommended)**
+
+```go
+// Uses PostgreSQL stored procedures for all operations
+db := setupDatabase()
+
+// Run migrations from totp_database_schema.sql
+// - Add totp_secret, totp_enabled, totp_enabled_at to users table
+// - Create user_totp_backup_codes table
+// - Create resolvespec_totp_* stored procedures
+
+tfaProvider := security.NewDatabaseTwoFactorProvider(db, nil)
+tfaAuth := security.NewTwoFactorAuthenticator(baseAuth, tfaProvider, nil)
+```
+
+**Option 2: Implement Custom Provider**
+
+Implement `TwoFactorAuthProvider` for custom storage:
+
+```go
+type DBTwoFactorProvider struct {
+    db *gorm.DB
+}
+
+func (p *DBTwoFactorProvider) Enable2FA(userID int, secret string, backupCodes []string) error {
+    // Store secret and hashed backup codes in database
+    return p.db.Exec("UPDATE users SET totp_secret = ?, backup_codes = ? WHERE id = ?", 
+        secret, hashCodes(backupCodes), userID).Error
+}
+
+func (p *DBTwoFactorProvider) Get2FASecret(userID int) (string, error) {
+    var secret string
+    err := p.db.Raw("SELECT totp_secret FROM users WHERE id = ?", userID).Scan(&secret).Error
+    return secret, err
+}
+
+// Implement remaining methods: Generate2FASecret, Validate2FACode, Disable2FA,
+// Get2FAStatus, GenerateBackupCodes, ValidateBackupCode
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+```go
+config := &security.TwoFactorConfig{
+    Algorithm:  "SHA256",  // SHA1, SHA256, SHA512
+    Digits:     8,         // 6 or 8
+    Period:     30,        // Seconds per code
+    SkewWindow: 2,         // Accept codes ±2 periods
+}
+
+totp := security.NewTOTPGenerator(config)
+tfaAuth := security.NewTwoFactorAuthenticator(baseAuth, tfaProvider, config)
+```
+
+### API Response Structure
+
+```go
+// LoginResponse with 2FA
+type LoginResponse struct {
+    Token              string              `json:"token"`
+    Requires2FA        bool                `json:"requires_2fa"`
+    TwoFactorSetupData *TwoFactorSecret    `json:"two_factor_setup,omitempty"`
+    User               *UserContext        `json:"user"`
+}
+
+// TwoFactorSecret for setup
+type TwoFactorSecret struct {
+    Secret      string   `json:"secret"`         // Base32 encoded
+    QRCodeURL   string   `json:"qr_code_url"`    // otpauth://totp/...
+    BackupCodes []string `json:"backup_codes"`   // 10 recovery codes
+}
+
+// UserContext includes 2FA status
+type UserContext struct {
+    UserID           int    `json:"user_id"`
+    TwoFactorEnabled bool   `json:"two_factor_enabled"`
+    // ... other fields
+}
+```
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+- **Store secrets encrypted** - Never store TOTP secrets in plain text
+- **Hash backup codes** - Use SHA-256 before storing
+- **Rate limit** - Limit 2FA verification attempts
+- **Require password** - Always verify password before disabling 2FA
+- **Show backup codes once** - Display only during setup/regeneration
+- **Log 2FA events** - Track enable/disable/failed attempts
+- **Mark codes as used** - Backup codes are single-use only

+Use `ModelRules` (from `pkg/modelregistry`) to control per-entity auth behavior:
+
+```go
+modelregistry.RegisterModelWithRules("public.products", &Product{}, modelregistry.ModelRules{
+    SecurityDisabled: false,   // true = skip all auth checks
+    CanPublicRead:    true,    // unauthenticated GET allowed

+    CanDelete:        false,   // authenticated users cannot delete
+})
+```
+
+`CheckModelAuthAllowed(secCtx, operation)` applies these rules in `BeforeHandle`:
+1. `SecurityDisabled` → allow all
+2. `CanPublicRead/Create/Update/Delete` → allow unauthenticated for that operation
+3. Guest (UserID == 0) → return 401
+4. Authenticated → allow (operation-specific `CanUpdate`/`CanDelete` checked in `BeforeUpdate`/`BeforeDelete`)
