ci(release): fix rust toolchain setup and dart publish validation warnings

Move .github/workflows to .gitea/workflows with Gitea-compatible action
versions, fix make_tag outputs/major bump, and add release_clients.yml to
build and publish all clients to the Gitea package registries. Rename the Go
client module to git.warky.dev/wdevs and add LICENSE/CHANGELOG for Dart.

+## Breaking Changes
+
+Changes from 2026-09-30 to 2026-10-01 that require action when upgrading. The full `pkg/security` migration tables are in [pkg/security/breaking_changes.md](pkg/security/breaking_changes.md).
+
+### Security package (`pkg/security`)
+
+- **No SQL in `pkg/security`**: all database access moved to `pkg/security/lookup`. Removed `SQLNames`, `TableNames`, `KeyStoreSQLNames`, `KeyStoreTableNames`, `QueryMode` (`ModeAuto`/`ModeProcedure`/`ModeDirect`), `ErrDirectModeUnsupported` and the `SQLNames`/`TableNames`/`QueryMode` option fields and `WithQueryMode`/`WithTableNames` builders. Use `lookup.Config` (`Dialect`, `Mode`, `Overrides`, `Procs`, `Schema`) via the `Lookup` option field or `WithLookup`/`WithLookupProvider`. The variadic `names ...*SQLNames` argument was dropped from `NewJWTAuthenticator`, `NewDatabaseColumnSecurityProvider`, `NewDatabaseRowSecurityProvider` and `NewDatabaseTwoFactorProvider`.
+- **Default lookup mode is per dialect**: stored procedures on Postgres, direct SQL elsewhere. `ModeAuto` is opt-in.
+- **Packages moved (no aliases)**: TOTP types to `pkg/security/totp`; header, config key store and config column/row providers to `pkg/security/providers`.
+- **SQL schema files moved** from `pkg/security/` to `pkg/security/lookup/`.
+- **Password handling**: bcrypt is verified in Direct mode and in the shipped procedures; passwords are hashed on register and reset; client-supplied roles/level are ignored at registration; legacy cleartext passwords need an explicit opt-in to upgrade. Row security templates bind the user as a parameter, and a filter that cannot be attached now fails the request.
+- **OAuth2 / OIDC server**: existing databases need new columns (`oauth_clients.metadata`, `oauth_codes.extra`) and new tables (`oauth_consents`, `oauth_refresh_tokens`, `oauth_device_codes`, `oauth_par_requests`, `oauth_jti`); Postgres procedure mode needs the schema reapplied. `/oauth/introspect` and `/oauth/revoke` now require client authentication (`AllowAnonymousIntrospection` restores the old behaviour). Only PKCE `S256` is accepted. Authorization errors redirect to the client after `redirect_uri` validation.
+- **Row security** now applies to update and delete queries (skipped for inserts); hidden/masked columns are excluded from create and update payloads.
+
+### Request hardening (`pkg/common`)
+
+Enabled by default under the new `hardening` config section (`RESOLVESPEC_HARDENING_*`); each can be switched off to restore the old behaviour.
+
+- **`cors_strict_origins`**: only origins listed in `cors.allowed_origins` or the server URLs are reflected; `*` never sends credentials.
+- **`sort_strict`**: sort expressions and join aliases must be identifier-safe; dangerous functions and catalogs are rejected.
+- **`sql_strict`**: client raw-SQL fragments with unbalanced quotes/parens, comments, `;`, DML keywords or system catalogs are rejected, and a rejected fragment now fails closed (`1=0`) instead of dropping the filter.
+- **`x-custom-sql-or`** is grouped with the client's own conditions so it can no longer OR past server-side filters. `common.Database` query builders gain an optional `WhereGrouper` (implemented for bun and gorm).
+
+### ResolveMCP (`pkg/resolvemcp`)
+
+- **Authentication required**: `SetupMuxRoutes`, `SetupBunRouterRoutes`, `SetupMuxStreamableHTTPRoutes`, `SetupBunRouterStreamableHTTPRoutes`, `NewSSEServer` and `NewStreamableHTTPHandler` now take a `*security.SecurityList`. Use the `*Unauthenticated` variants to keep the old open behaviour.
+- **Per-model tools removed**: the `read_`/`create_`/`update_`/`delete_` tools and per-model resources are replaced by fixed meta tools: `list_tables`, `describe_table`, `select_table`, `insert_into_table`, `update_table`, `delete_from_table`, `list_functions`, `call_function`.
+- **Guarded writes**: filter-based update/delete require filters, are capped by `MaxWriteRows`, and need a single-use confirm token (or `dry_run`).
+- **Limits and errors**: reads are capped (`DefaultLimit`, `MaxLimit`, `MaxOffset`, `MaxBatch`, `MaxPreloadDepth`, `QueryTimeout`); the total `COUNT` is optional; errors reach clients as `{code, message}` only.
+- **Writes**: create checks `CanCreate`; create/update reject keys outside the model's writable columns; update sets only the given keys; the annotation tool is opt-in via `Config.EnableAnnotations`.
+
+### Update semantics
+
+- **`""` and `null` now overwrite** stored values on update in resolvespec and restheadspec (previously skipped). Use `Handler.SetDisallowNulls` to skip nulls.
+- **websocketspec / mqttspec** update only the keys present in the payload (`SetMap`) instead of writing the whole zeroed model.
+
+### Transactions and hooks
+
+- **One transaction per request** in every spec. Hooks must use `hookCtx.Tx`, not the pool; `BeforeHandle` runs before any transaction and must not touch the DB. `OnTxBegin` fires first in every transaction.
+- **`AfterDelete` failure now rolls the delete back.**
+- **Create/update re-fetch, `BeforeScan` and post-commit hooks** (`AfterCreate`, `AfterUpdate`, restheadspec `AfterRead`, funcspec `BeforeResponse`) run on a second, short transaction after the first commits.
+- **websocketspec / mqttspec / funcspec** begin or commit failures answer `transaction_error`.
+- **`BeforeDisconnect` / `AfterDisconnect`** hooks in websocketspec now fire on close.
+
+### Other
+
+- **Clients moved**: the JS and Python clients now live under `clients/`.
+- **Test server ports**: `8123` (testserver) and `8124` (PostgreSQL), previously `8080` and `5434`.
+- **pgsql**: subquery preload errors are returned instead of being logged and skipped; a `SET` plus multi-placeholder `WHERE` update previously renumbered `WHERE` parameters wrongly (fixed).
+- **Cache**: `Clear()` on the Redis and Memcache providers requires `AllowFlush`; a missing key returns `ErrNotFound`; Memcache keys are hashed and namespaced, so existing entries are not found.
+- **Config**: `NewManager` no longer replaces the global manager (use `SetConfigManager`); saved configs are written `0600`; `PathsConfig.Join` is confined to its base path.
+

+# pkg/security lookup sub package plan
+
+Status: implemented (steps 0-7). What shipped and every API change is recorded in `pkg/security/breaking_changes.md`;
+usage is documented in `pkg/security/README.md` ("Database access (lookup)"). This file is kept as the design record.
+Deviations from the plan below: only `totp` and `providers` were split out of `pkg/security` (no `oauth` package, the
+OAuth server and passkey provider stay in `security`), the `Database*` constructors stay in `security`, and
+`ddl/postgres.sql` is tables only and cannot be combined with the procedure schema.
+Related: `audit/mcp_plan.md` (work item 1, API key login).
+
+## Problem
+
+- `pkg/security` mixes two data-access styles: stored procedures (`resolvespec_*`) and ~1,800 lines of hand-written
+  "direct" SQL (`*_direct.go`) selected per call by `QueryMode` / `ShouldUseProcedure`.
+- Direct SQL is written once with `?` placeholders and only rewritten for Postgres. It assumes one fixed schema
+  (table and column names, JSON stored as TEXT, bool/time handling), and is only really exercised on SQLite.
+- Table names are configurable (`TableNames`), column names are not. Procedure names are configurable (`SQLNames`).
+- Postgres cannot be run "tables only" in a first-class way, and other databases have no defined support.
+- Rule going forward: **`pkg/security` itself contains no SQL.** All lookups go through one sub package.
+
+## Goal
+
+New sub package `pkg/security/lookup` that owns every database read/write the security package needs.
+
+| Requirement | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| Postgres default | Existing stored procedures, existing names, unchanged behaviour out of the box |
+| Postgres direct | Optional: work on tables directly with no procs installed |
+| SQLite | First-class: configurable tables and columns |
+| Other DBs | MySQL/MariaDB and MSSQL via dialects; adding more = adding a dialect |
+| Config | Procedure names, table names, column names, mode (procedure / direct / auto), per backend |
+| `pkg/security` | Calls lookup interfaces only; no `SELECT`/`INSERT`/`UPDATE`/`DELETE`, no `pg_proc` probing |
+

+
+### Shared types: `pkg/security/sectypes`
+
+`lookup` cannot import `pkg/security` (cycle: security -> lookup -> security), so the plain data types move to a
+dependency-free sub package that both import.
+
+- Moves to `sectypes`: `UserContext`, `LoginRequest`, `LoginResponse`, `RegisterRequest`, `LogoutRequest`,
+  `PasswordResetRequest/Response/CompleteRequest`, `KeyType`, `UserKey`, `CreateKeyRequest/Response`,
+  `PasskeyCredential` (+ passkey request/option structs the stores return), `TwoFactorSecret`, OAuth server
+  client/code/token-info structs (`OAuthServerClient`, `OAuthCode`, `OAuthTokenInfo`), `ColumnSecurity`, `RowSecurity`.
+- Stays in `pkg/security`: all behaviour interfaces (`Authenticator`, `SecurityProvider`, `Registrable`, ...),
+  authenticators, middleware, `OAuthServer`, TOTP generator, hooks. They reference `sectypes` types.
+- Compatibility: `pkg/security` re-exports each moved type as an alias (`type UserContext = sectypes.UserContext`) and
+  the `KeyType*` constants, so `security.UserContext` etc. keep compiling and are identical types. In-repo users
+  (eventbroker, funcspec, mqttspec, resolvemcp, resolvespec, restheadspec, websocketspec, ~17 files) need no edits.
+- `lookup` stores take and return `sectypes` types directly; no separate record types and no conversion layer.
+- Rules: `sectypes` imports only the standard library (and `oauth2` types only if unavoidable, else a local struct);
+  JSON tags unchanged so wire formats and procedure `p_data` payloads stay identical.
+
+### Package split
+
+Dependency direction (no cycles): `sectypes` <- `lookup` <- `providers`/`oauth`/`totp`/`passkey` -> `security` (core) -> `sectypes`.
+Core `security` never imports the sub packages. Sub packages do not import each other (see Dependency rules).
+
+### Dependency rules (how cycles are avoided)
+
+1. **Layers, imports only point down.** L0 `sectypes` (stdlib only) -> L1 `lookup`, core `security` interfaces ->
+   L2 `providers`, `oauth`, `totp`, `passkey`. A package may import lower layers, never its own layer or above.
+2. **Define interfaces where they are consumed, not where they are implemented** (Go idiom). E.g. `oauth` declares
+   the small `SessionCreator` it needs; `providers.DatabaseAuthenticator` satisfies it without `oauth` importing `providers`.
+3. **Shared data goes down, not sideways.** If two L2 packages need the same struct, it moves to `sectypes`
+   (or a tiny `internal/` package), never "A imports B for one type".
+4. **No L2 -> L2 imports.** Composition happens in the application (or an optional top-level `security/setup`
+   package that imports everything and is imported by nobody in `pkg/security`).
+5. **Dependency injection by constructor**, passing interfaces/stores (`lookup.Provider`, `security.Authenticator`);
+   no package-level registries that need a back-import; use functional options for optional collaborators.
+6. **Core never imports concrete implementations**; where core needs behaviour it calls an interface it owns
+   (hooks, `SecurityContext`, `Authenticator`).
+7. **Tests:** external test packages (`package foo_test`) for cross-package integration tests, so test-only
+   imports cannot create cycles; shared fixtures in an `internal/testutil` package.
+8. **Guard in CI:** `go list -deps` / a small test that asserts the layer rules (e.g. `sectypes` imports only stdlib,
+   `lookup` does not import `security`, no L2 package imports another L2 package). `go build` already rejects true cycles.
+
+| Package | Contents (from today's files) |
+|---|---|
+| `security` (core) | `Authenticator`, `SecurityProvider`, `Registrable`, `Refreshable`, `APIKeyLoginable`, ... interfaces; `SecurityList`; `SecurityContext`; middleware + cookie options; `ChainAuthenticator`; `CompositeSecurityProvider`; hooks; `WriteDataContext`; `TxSettings`; type aliases to `sectypes` |
+| `providers` | `DatabaseAuthenticator`, `JWTAuthenticator`, `HeaderAuthenticator`, `KeyStoreAuthenticator`, `ConfigKeyStore`, `DatabaseKeyStore`, `DatabaseColumnSecurityProvider`, `DatabaseRowSecurityProvider`, `Config*SecurityProvider` |
+| `oauth` | `OAuth2Config`, `OAuth2Provider`, Google/GitHub/Microsoft/Facebook/multi-provider constructors, OAuth2 refresh, `OAuthServer` + `OAuthServerConfig`, oauth server persistence (via `lookup.OAuthClientStore`) |
+| `passkey` | `PasskeyProvider` impl (`DatabasePasskeyProvider`), registration/authentication flows, passkey request/option types that are not shared (shared ones stay in `sectypes`) |
+| `totp` | `TwoFactorAuthProvider`, `TwoFactorConfig`, `TOTPGenerator`, `MemoryTwoFactorProvider`, `DatabaseTwoFactorProvider`, `TwoFactorAuthenticator` |
+
+Consequences to design for:
+- **Methods cannot span packages.** Today OAuth2 and passkey logic are methods on `DatabaseAuthenticator`
+  (`oauth2_methods*.go`, `oauth_server_db*.go`, passkey methods) and `NewOAuthServer` takes `*DatabaseAuthenticator`.
+  They become standalone types in `oauth` / `providers` that depend on `lookup` stores and on small interfaces
+  (e.g. `oauth.SessionCreator`) instead of the concrete authenticator. `NewGoogleAuthenticator(...)` etc. return a
+  `providers.DatabaseAuthenticator` configured with an `oauth.Provider`, or an `oauth.Authenticator` that implements
+  `security.Authenticator`; pick one in step 5 (see Open).
+- **Constructors cannot be re-exported from core `security`** (it would import the sub packages = cycle). Types that
+  move to `sectypes` keep aliases; constructors and concrete types do not. This is a breaking import change.
+  In-repo callers affected (outside `pkg/security`): `pkg/resolvemcp` (`oauth2.go`, `oauth2_server.go`, `handler.go`),
+  `pkg/middleware/clientqueue.go`, docs and examples. Provide a mechanical migration table
+  (`security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator` -> `providers.NewDatabaseAuthenticator`, `security.OAuthServer` -> `oauth.Server`, ...).
+- **Interfaces core needs from sub packages** (e.g. 2FA hook points) are defined in core or `sectypes`, implemented in
+  `totp`; core never imports `totp`.
+- `examples*.go` / `oauth2_examples.go` / `passkey_examples.go` move next to the package they exemplify (or to
+  `_example_test.go` files) so core has no dependency on them.
+- Tests move with their code; shared helpers (sqlite test DB, `authenticatedRequest`) go to an internal test helper package.
+
+### Store interfaces (one per domain, mirrors current procs)
+
+| Store | Operations (current proc in brackets) |
+|---|---|
+| `AuthStore` | `Login` [login], `Register` [register], `Logout` [logout], `Session` [session], `TouchSession` [session_update], `Refresh` [refresh_token], `LoginAPIKey` [login_api_key], `JWTLogin`, `JWTLogout`, `ResetRequest`, `ResetComplete` |
+| `KeyStore` | `Create`, `List`, `Delete`, `Validate` [keystore_*] |
+| `OAuthClientStore` | register client, get client, save code, exchange code, introspect, revoke |
+| `OAuthUserStore` | get-or-create user, create session, get/update refresh token, get user |
+| `PasskeyStore` | store, get, update counter, list, delete, rename, get by username, login |
+| `TOTPStore` | enable, disable, status, secret, regenerate backup codes, validate backup code |
+| `PolicyStore` | column security, row security: procedure backend (default) + direct backend over the `sec_*` table layout below |
+
+Each store has a procedure implementation and a direct implementation. A `Provider` bundles them; `security`
+constructors take a `lookup.Provider` (or build one from `db` + `lookup.Config`, so existing constructors keep working).
+
+### Config
+
+```go
+type Config struct {
+    Dialect  string          // "postgres" | "sqlite" | "mysql" | "mssql"; empty = detect from driver
+    Mode     Mode            // Auto | Procedure | Direct; default: Procedure for postgres, Direct otherwise
+    Overrides map[Op]Mode    // optional per-operation mode, e.g. direct for Session, procedure for Login
+    Procs    ProcNames       // = today's SQLNames (+ LoginAPIKey), defaults unchanged
+    Schema   Schema          // tables + columns, see below
+}
+```
+
+- `Schema` = per entity `{Table string; Columns map[Column]string}` with typed column keys covering every column
+  (`users.id`, `users.username`, `users.password`, `users.is_active`, ...). Defaults reproduce the current schema,
+  so zero config behaves as today. Optional `Schema` name per entity for `schema.table` qualification.
+- Merge + validation as today: non-empty override wins; every identifier checked against `^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$`
+  (plus optional single `schema.` prefix). Identifiers are quoted by the dialect, never interpolated raw.
+- No back-compat for config: `SQLNames`, `KeyStoreSQLNames`, `TableNames`, `KeyStoreTableNames` and `QueryMode` are
+  removed from `pkg/security`; `lookup.Config` replaces them (decision 8).
+
+### Dialect interface (the per-database adaptor)
+
+One adaptor per database type (`dialect/postgres`, `sqlite`, `mysql`, `mssql`), selected by `Config.Dialect` or
+detected from the driver, registered through `dialect.Register(name, factory)` so more databases can be added later
+without touching core code. Each adaptor supplies only the things that differ; the direct backend builds queries from it.
+
+| Concern | Dialect method |
+|---|---|
+| Placeholders | `Placeholder(n)` (`$n`, `?`, `@pn`) |
+| Identifier quoting | `Quote(ident)` (`"x"`, `` `x` ``, `[x]`) |
+| Booleans | `Bool(v)` / scan helper (bool vs 0/1) |
+| Time | `Now()` expr or Go-side `time.Now()`; scan helper for drivers returning strings |
+| Insert returning id | `InsertReturningID(table, cols, idCol)` returns the SQL + scan strategy: postgres `... RETURNING id` (QueryRow), sqlite/mysql `LastInsertId`, mssql `... OUTPUT INSERTED.id` (QueryRow). The only dialect-specific write construct (decision 12 / confirmed) |
+| Get-or-create | none; standard SQL select-then-insert inside a tx (no upsert) |
+| Limit/top | only if a query needs it |
+| JSON columns (scopes/meta/roles) | `EncodeJSON` / `DecodeJSON` (native jsonb vs TEXT) |
+| Random / hashing | done in Go (token generation, SHA-256 key hash, bcrypt) so direct mode needs no `pgcrypto` and no DB functions |
+| Driver detection | `Detect(*sql.DB)` from driver type (replaces `driverIsPostgres` / `driverIsPortableOnly`) |
+
+Queries are assembled by a small internal builder (select/insert/update/delete with named columns from `Schema`),
+not string-concatenated per dialect and not via an ORM, to keep `pkg/security` free of bun/gorm.
+
+### PolicyStore table layout (column / row security, direct backend)
+
+Approved layout. Both the procedure backend (`resolvespec_column_security` / `resolvespec_row_security`, rewritten
+in `database_schema.sql`) and the direct backend read these tables; the former external schema is no longer
+referenced anywhere in the repo. All table and column names are configurable via `Schema`, defaults shown.
+
+`sec_group_members` (optional; omit to use direct user rules only)
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `group_id` | int, not null | group a user belongs to |
+| `user_id` | int, not null | FK users.id; PK (`group_id`, `user_id`) |
+
+`sec_column_rules`
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | int PK | |
+| `user_id` | int null | rule for one user |
+| `group_id` | int null | rule for every member of the group; exactly one of `user_id` / `group_id` set (check constraint) |
+| `schema_name` | text, not null | matched case-insensitively |
+| `table_name` | text, not null | matched case-insensitively |
+| `column_path` | text, not null | dot path under the table (`col` or `col.sub.field`) = `ColumnSecurity.Path` joined by `.` |
+| `access_type` | text, not null | `ColumnSecurity.Accesstype` (e.g. `mask`, `hide`, `read`) |
+| `mask_start`, `mask_end` | int null | default 0 |
+| `mask_invert` | bool null | default false |
+| `mask_char` | text null | default `*` |
+| `extra_filters` | text/JSON null | `ExtraFilters` map, JSON-encoded via dialect `EncodeJSON` |
+| `is_active` | bool, not null | default true |
+
+`sec_row_rules`
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | int PK | |
+| `user_id` | int null / `group_id` int null | as above, exactly one set |
+| `schema_name`, `table_name` | text, not null | case-insensitive match |
+| `template` | text null | SQL fragment with the existing placeholders (`RowSecurity.Template`) |
+| `has_block` | bool, not null | default false; true = no rows visible (`RowSecurity.HasBlock`) |
+| `is_active` | bool, not null | default true |
+
+Resolution rules (direct backend; also the contract the conformance tests assert):
+- Applicable rules = active rules where `user_id` = caller, plus rules of every group the caller belongs to.
+- Column security: all applicable rules for the exact schema + table, returned as `[]ColumnSecurity` (union).
+  Exact table match, not a prefix match (a prefix would match `users_archive` for `users`).
+- Row security: any applicable `has_block` wins; otherwise templates of all applicable rules are combined with
+  `AND` (each wrapped in parentheses); no rule = `RowSecurity{}` with `ErrNoRowSecurity` semantics unchanged.
+- Templates are still validated/substituted by the existing safe-identifier code in core; the store only loads text.
+- Both loaders keep the guarantees of today: user reference reduced to a scalar, failures are errors (fail closed),
+  no rule is "no rules".
+
+### Mode resolution
+
+- `Procedure`: always call the proc; missing proc = error (no silent fallback).
+- `Direct`: always use tables via the dialect builder.
+- `Auto`: Postgres probes `pg_proc` once per proc (cached, as today); other dialects resolve to `Direct`.
+  Probe lives in `lookup` and is the only place that queries the catalog.
+- Postgres default stays `Procedure` so current installs do not change behaviour.
+- Roles/user-level safety rules already enforced in direct mode (Register ignores client-supplied level/roles, bcrypt
+  hash, opt-in password upgrade) become backend-agnostic tests that both backends must pass.
+
+## Work items
+
+### 0. Extract shared types (prerequisite, no behaviour change)
+- Create `pkg/security/sectypes`, move the types listed above, add aliases in `pkg/security`.
+- Verify `go build ./...` and `go test ./pkg/...` unchanged; `go vet` for alias/import cycles.
+- Do this first and on its own so the diff is a pure move.
+
+### 0b. Package split (after 0, before `lookup` wiring)
+- Create `providers`, `oauth`, `totp`; move files per the Package split table, one package per commit:
+  `totp` and `passkey` (self-contained) -> `providers` (key stores, authenticators, policy providers) -> `oauth` (needs de-methoding
+  from `DatabaseAuthenticator`).
+- Break the method-on-`DatabaseAuthenticator` coupling for OAuth2 and passkey first (extract interfaces), then move.
+- Update in-repo callers and docs; add migration table to `pkg/security/README.md`.
+- Behaviour unchanged; at this point stores are still the old direct/proc code, only relocated.
+
+### 1. Skeleton and contracts
+- Create `lookup` package: records, store interfaces, `Config`, `Schema` (defaults, merge, validate), `Mode`.
+- No behaviour change yet; compile-only.
+
+### 2. Dialects
+- Implement `postgres`, `sqlite`, `mysql`, `mssql` against the dialect interface; driver detection.
+- Unit tests per dialect: placeholders, quoting, bool/time round trip, insert-returning-id.
+
+### 3. Procedure backend
+- Move existing proc calls out of `pkg/security` into `lookup/procedure` using `ProcNames` (current defaults).
+- Keep the `p_success, p_error, p_data` contracts and reconnect-on-closed-DB helper.
+- Include `resolvespec_login_api_key` (added in mcp_plan item 1) with the generic error behaviour.
+
+### 4. Direct backend
+- Port each `*_direct.go` to `lookup/direct` using `Schema` + dialect builder, one store at a time:
+  AuthStore -> KeyStore -> OAuth stores -> Passkey -> TOTP -> PolicyStore (column/row security tables).
+- Add direct `LoginAPIKey` here (select by key hash, active, unexpired, key type in header_api/api, user active;
+  one generic error), since SQL is now allowed only inside `lookup`.
+- Transactions: multi-step writes (login = session insert + last_login; register; reset complete) run in one tx.
+
+### 5. Wire `pkg/security`
+- Constructors accept `lookup.Provider` / `lookup.Config`; old options map onto it (deprecated).
+- Replace every `*_direct.go` call and `ShouldUseProcedure` branch with a store call.
+- Delete `*_direct.go`, `query_mode.go` probe/placeholder code, direct `TableNames` use; keep only aliases.
+- Check no non-test code in `pkg/security` contains SQL keywords (CI grep guard).
+
+### 5b. `pkg/security/breaking_changes.md`
+- Create at step 0 and append as each step lands: moved types (aliased, no action), moved constructors/types
+  with rename table (old -> new import path and symbol), removed config types (`SQLNames`, `TableNames`,
+  `KeyStore*Names`, `QueryMode`) with the `lookup.Config` replacement, removed `database_schema_sqlite.sql`,
+  `ModeAuto` behaviour change, API key login procedure.
+
+### 6. Schemas and docs
+- `lookup/ddl`: reference DDL for postgres (tables only, no procs), sqlite, mysql, mssql; existing proc scripts
+  stay beside the procedure backend. Replace `database_schema_sqlite.sql`.
+- Document: default (procs), Postgres tables-only, SQLite, custom column mapping, adding a dialect.
+- Update `pkg/security` README/QUICK_REFERENCE; note API key procedure in security docs (mcp_plan item 10).
+
+### 7. Tests
+- Shared conformance suite run against every backend/dialect: login/register/logout/session/refresh, reset,
+  API keys (valid/expired/inactive/unknown/wrong type), keystore, OAuth server, passkey, TOTP, privilege rules.
+- Backends covered: sqlite (in-memory, direct), postgres direct and postgres procedure (needs a Postgres instance,
+  skipped without `RESOLVESPEC_TEST_PG_DSN`), mysql/mssql behind env DSNs. Dialect unit tests need no DB.
+- Procedure backend unit tests with sqlmock for the call/contract shape.
+- Check for existing test data before creating any; ask before generating.
+- Run with `-race`; migrate current `direct_mode_test.go` / `query_mode_test.go` cases into the suite.
+
+## Order
+
+0. Extract `sectypes` types + aliases (0)
+0b. Package split: `totp`, `passkey` -> `providers` -> `oauth` (0b), callers + docs updated
+1. Skeleton + Schema/Config (1)
+2. Dialects (2)
+3. Procedure backend extraction, `pkg/security` wired to it for procs only (3, part of 5) - zero behaviour change
+4. Direct backend per store, then remove old `*_direct.go` as each store lands (4, 5)
+5. DDL + docs + conformance suite (6, 7)
+6. Resume `audit/mcp_plan.md` step 2 (guard) on top of `lookup`
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+- `QueryMode`, `SQLNames`, `TableNames`, `KeyStoreSQLNames`, `KeyStoreTableNames` removed; replaced by `lookup.Config`.
+- `ModeAuto` no longer silently falls back from procedure to SQL on non-Postgres drivers without telling: resolution
+  is explicit and logged once per op.
+- `database_schema_sqlite.sql` replaced by `lookup/ddl`.
+- Concrete types and constructors move to `providers`, `oauth`, `totp` (e.g. `security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator`
+  -> `providers.NewDatabaseAuthenticator`, `security.NewOAuthServer` -> `oauth.NewServer`,
+  `security.NewTOTPGenerator` -> `totp.NewGenerator`). No aliases possible (import cycle); import paths must change.
+- Type identity is preserved via aliases; code that used reflection on the package path of these types
+  (`security.UserContext` -> `sectypes.UserContext`) would see the new path (none found in-repo; re-check).
+- Anything outside `lookup` that relied on SQL living in `pkg/security` (none found in-repo) must use the stores.

+| 5 | OAuth2 client login | Dedicated `oauth.Authenticator` type; `New{Google,GitHub,Microsoft,Facebook}Authenticator` return it |
+| 6 | Migration | Rename table only; recorded in new `pkg/security/breaking_changes.md` |
+| 7 | Dialects v1 | postgres, sqlite, mysql/mariadb, mssql; more later via the dialect interface |
+| 8 | Deprecated config (`SQLNames`, `TableNames`, `KeyStore*Names`, `QueryMode`) | Removed, no aliases; recorded in `breaking_changes.md` |
+| 9 | Column mapping | Every column of every entity configurable |
+| 10 | DB handle | `*sql.DB` |
+| 11 | Column / row security | Procedures (default) **and** a table layout for direct mode |
+| 12 | Postgres direct SQL | Standard SQL only: no `ON CONFLICT` / `MERGE`; get-or-create = select then insert in a tx |

 - Add per spec/op: hook `Tx` is not the pool; `OnTxBegin` fires once per tx, before other hooks; single-ID delete = 1 tx; `dbtrace` `pooled == 0` on the request path.
 - Test data: reuse `pkg/testmodels`; **ask before generating new data** (per project rule).
 - Regression: full `go test -race` for security, dbmanager, common, restheadspec, resolvespec, websocketspec, mqttspec, resolvemcp, funcspec. Known pre-existing failures: mqttspec integration (no DB).

 - `dbtrace` shows `pooled=0` for every handler op on a hooked model.
 - RLS GUC set in `OnTxBegin` is visible to read, create, update, delete queries and hooks.
 - No `Tx: h.db` / `hookCtx.Tx = h.db` left in spec handlers.
-- OPEN: websocketspec `BeforeDisconnect`/`AfterDisconnect` are defined but never executed (connection lifecycle, not DB). Allowlisted in `TestEveryDefinedHookHasACallSite`; wire them to remove the entry.
+- DONE: websocketspec `BeforeDisconnect`/`AfterDisconnect` fire from `Connection.Close()` (single close path, `closedOnce`, so exactly once per registered connection however it closes: read error, write error, slow-consumer eviction, shutdown). Connection lifecycle, not DB: `Tx` is not set. The hook context is detached from the connection cancel (`context.WithoutCancel`) so `AfterDisconnect` still has a live context. Errors are logged and never block the close. A connection rejected by `BeforeConnect` gets no disconnect hooks. `ConnectionManager.Shutdown` now closes connections outside its lock (a hook calling `Count()` would have deadlocked). Allowlist in `TestEveryDefinedHookHasACallSite` is now empty. Tests: `pkg/websocketspec/connection_test.go`. mqttspec already fired these in `Handler.Shutdown`; its per-client disconnect is unchanged.
 - DONE: column-level hide/mask columns are dropped from create/update payloads (`security.ApplyWriteColumnSecurity`); rules preloaded in `BeforeHandle` for create/update. resolvemcp update now runs `BeforeHandle`.

+The token is single-use, expires after `ConfirmTTL`, and is bound to user, table, operation and a hash of filters, data and matched ids; it is held in memory (lost on restart, single instance). Update changes only the keys in `data`; `null` sets NULL. Filters are strictly parsed (never silently dropped), columns validated, and only the documented operators are accepted.

+# OAuth 2.1 / OpenID Connect Authorization Server
+
+`OAuthServer` turns a `DatabaseAuthenticator` into a standards-based identity provider, and `OIDCConfig` / `WithOIDC` make the same package a relying party for any OpenID Connect provider. This guide covers both. For the older "log in with Google/GitHub" client flow see [OAUTH2.md](OAUTH2.md); a runnable end-to-end wiring is in [`oauth2_full_example.go`](oauth2_full_example.go) (`ExampleOAuth2FullServer`, `ExampleOAuth2FullClient`).
+
+Every feature beyond the original authorization-code flow is **opt-in**: the zero value of each `OAuthServerConfig` option keeps the previous behaviour.

+- **State is in the database** (clients, codes, consents, rotating refresh tokens, device codes, pushed requests, the replay cache), so any number of instances can serve one issuer.
+- **Stateless pieces** (the SSO cookie, the login/consent form state, the device and logout state) are HMAC-sealed with `CookieSecret`. Instances must share it, or share the first signing key it is derived from.
+- **Signing keys**: RSA or ECDSA (P-256/P-384); `kid` is the RFC 7638 thumbprint. All keys are published in the JWKS.
+- Access tokens are either the opaque session token (default) or RFC 9068 JWTs. Either way an *access-grant record* stores scope, client, audience and DPoP binding, so introspection, revocation and logout work for both.

+## Flows
+
+### Authorization code with PKCE
+
+```
+GET /oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=ID&redirect_uri=https://app/cb
+    &scope=openid%20profile&state=S&nonce=N
+    &code_challenge=BASE64URL(SHA256(V))&code_challenge_method=S256
+```
+
+The user signs in (a cookie keeps the session), approves the consent screen if required, and is redirected to `redirect_uri?code=…&state=S&iss=<issuer>` (RFC 9207; compare `iss`). Exchange it:
+
+```
+curl -X POST https://auth.example.com/oauth/token \
+  -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=CODE -d redirect_uri=https://app/cb \
+  -d client_id=ID -d code_verifier=V
+```
+
+Request parameters: `prompt` (`none`, `login`, `consent`, `select_account`), `max_age`, `id_token_hint`, `login_hint`, `acr_values`, `claims`, `resource` (RFC 8707), `response_mode=form_post`. Once the `redirect_uri` is validated, errors are returned to the client as redirects (`error`, `state`, `iss`); before that they are shown to the user. `prompt=none` without a session answers `login_required`.
+
+The id_token carries `iss`, `sub`, `aud`, `exp`, `iat`, `nonce`, `auth_time`, `acr`, `amr`, `sid`, `at_hash`, `azp` and the claims the granted scopes entitle the client to.
+
+### Consent and scopes
+
+Requested scopes are intersected with the client's `AllowedScopes`; an empty result is `invalid_scope`. With `RequireConsent` (or per client `require_consent`), a third-party client sees a consent screen unless a stored consent already covers the scopes. A client marked `first_party` (`RegisterTrustedClient`) never does. Approval can be remembered for `ConsentTTL`; a denial redirects with `access_denied`.
+
+### Refresh token rotation
+
+With `ManagedRefreshTokens`, every refresh returns a **new** refresh token and invalidates the old one:
+
+```
+curl -X POST …/oauth/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d refresh_token=R1 -d client_id=ID
+```
+
+Presenting a rotated token again (a stolen copy) answers `invalid_grant` and **revokes the whole family**, so the legitimate holder has to sign in again. A refresh may downscope (`scope=`) but never widen. Confidential clients must authenticate. Request `offline_access` or allow the `refresh_token` grant to receive one. Without `ManagedRefreshTokens` the refresh token of the underlying authenticator is passed through as in earlier versions.
+
+### JWT access tokens (RFC 9068)
+
+`JWTAccessTokens` issues `at+jwt` tokens with `iss sub aud exp iat jti client_id scope` (and `cnf` for DPoP). See [Resource servers](#resource-servers).
+
+### DPoP (RFC 9449)
+
+With `EnableDPoP` a client sends a `DPoP` proof header (typ `dpop+jwt`, `htm`, `htu`, `iat`, `jti`, public `jwk`) to the token endpoint. The access and refresh tokens are then bound to the proof key; the response has `token_type: DPoP`. Use them as `Authorization: DPoP <token>` plus a proof carrying `ath = base64url(SHA256(token))`. Proof `jti`s are single use (replay cache in `oauth_jti`). A DPoP-bound token is refused as a Bearer token. Set the client's `dpop_bound_access_tokens` to require proofs.
+
+### Pushed authorization requests (RFC 9126)
+
+```
+curl -X POST …/oauth/par -d client_id=ID -d response_type=code … -d code_challenge=…   # → {"request_uri": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:request_uri:…", "expires_in": 90}
+GET /oauth/authorize?client_id=ID&request_uri=urn:ietf:params:oauth:request_uri:…
+```
+
+Confidential clients authenticate at the PAR endpoint. A `request_uri` is single use. `RequirePAR` rejects plain authorization requests.
+
+### Device grant (RFC 8628)
+
+```
+curl -X POST …/oauth/device_authorization -d client_id=ID -d scope=openid
+# → device_code, user_code, verification_uri, verification_uri_complete, interval
+curl -X POST …/oauth/token -d grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code -d device_code=… -d client_id=ID
+```
+
+The user opens `verification_uri` on another device, signs in, enters the code and approves. The device polls; answers are `authorization_pending`, `slow_down` (polled faster than `interval`), `access_denied`, `expired_token`. A code is consumed by the first successful poll.
+
+### Token exchange (RFC 8693)
+
+A confidential client holding the `urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange` grant swaps a user's access token for a narrower one (`scope`, `audience`/`resource`). The scope can only shrink; DPoP-bound subject tokens and `actor_token` are not accepted.
+
+### Client credentials
+
+Unchanged: `grant_type=client_credentials` with client authentication returns a token for the client itself.
+
+### Dynamic registration (RFC 7591/7592)
+
+`POST /oauth/register` accepts `redirect_uris` (https, loopback http, or a custom scheme; no fragments), `grant_types`, `response_types`, `token_endpoint_auth_method`, `scope`, `jwks` / `jwks_uri`, `client_name`, `client_uri`, `logo_uri`, `contacts`, `post_logout_redirect_uris`, `backchannel_logout_uri`, `id_token_signed_response_alg`, `userinfo_signed_response_alg`, `dpop_bound_access_tokens`. The response includes `registration_access_token` and `registration_client_uri`; use them to read, update or delete the client and to rotate its secret. Secrets are stored hashed and shown once. Loopback redirect URIs ignore the port (RFC 8252).
+
+### Logout
+
+`/oauth/logout?id_token_hint=…&post_logout_redirect_uri=…&state=…` ends the SSO session, revokes the session's tokens and refresh families, and redirects to a `post_logout_redirect_uri` the client registered. Without a hint the user is asked to confirm. Clients with `backchannel_logout_uri` receive a signed `logout_token` (best effort, in the background).
+
+### Federation
+
+`srv.RegisterExternalProvider(auth, "google")` lets users sign in through an upstream provider; the server remains the issuer for your clients and your users get the same tokens, consent and logout behaviour. `login_hint` pre-fills the built-in login form.
+
+## Resource servers
+
+```go
+claims, err := srv.VerifyAccessToken(ctx, token, security.VerifyAccessTokenOptions{
+    Audience: "https://api.example.com",
+    Scopes:   []string{"orders:read"},
+})
+```
+
+JWT tokens are verified locally against the key set; opaque tokens are looked up. `claims` holds `Subject`, `UserID`, `ClientID`, `Scopes`, `Audience`, `JTI` and the DPoP key thumbprint. For DPoP-bound tokens also check the proof (`verifyDPoP` runs on the server's own endpoints; an external API validates the `DPoP` header and compares `DPoPKey`). A ready-made middleware is in `ExampleOAuth2FullServer`. Services in another process can call `/oauth/introspect` with their client credentials, or verify the JWT with `GET /oauth/jwks.json`.
+
+## Client side (relying party)
+
+`WithOIDC` discovers the endpoints from `{issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration` and registers a provider with these protections switched on:
+
+- PKCE (S256) and a `nonce`, both kept with the `state` and used once.
+- The `id_token` is verified: signature against the provider's JWKS (refetched once when a `kid` is unknown), algorithm allow-list (`RS256 PS256 ES256 ES384` by default), `iss`, `aud`/`azp`, `exp` (1 minute skew), `nonce`, `at_hash`.
+- The userinfo `sub` must equal the id_token `sub`; the RFC 9207 `iss` parameter must match.
+
+```go
+auth.WithOIDC(ctx, security.OIDCConfig{Issuer: "https://auth.example.com", ClientID: id, ClientSecret: secret,
+    RedirectURL: "https://app/auth/callback", ProviderName: "company"})
+
+url, _ := auth.OAuth2GetAuthURLWithOptions("company", state, security.OAuth2AuthOptions{Prompt: "login"})
+login, err := auth.OAuth2HandleCallbackRequest(ctx, "company", r)   // r is the callback request
+logout, _ := auth.OAuth2LogoutURL(ctx, "company", login.Meta["id_token"].(string), "https://app/", "")
+```
+
+`OAuth2HandleCallback(ctx, provider, code, state)` still works. The raw `id_token` is returned in `LoginResponse.Meta["id_token"]` (keep it for the logout hint); `OAuth2RefreshToken` re-validates a new id_token when the provider returns one. The Google preset validates id_tokens as well; for other providers set `Issuer` and `JWKSURL` on `OAuth2Config`, or use `WithOIDC`.
+
+## Database setup
+
+Apply the schema for your backend (see the lookup section of the [README](README.md)):
+
+- Postgres procedures: `lookup/database_schema.sql`
+- Table-only (any dialect, direct mode): `lookup/ddl/{postgres,sqlite,mysql,mssql}.sql`
+
+The OAuth additions are the `oauth_clients.metadata` and `oauth_codes.extra` JSON columns plus the tables `oauth_consents`, `oauth_refresh_tokens`, `oauth_device_codes`, `oauth_par_requests` and `oauth_jti`. Existing installs: see [breaking_changes.md](breaking_changes.md#step-8-full-oauth2--openid-connect) for the ALTER statements. Purge expired rows of the new tables periodically (`expires_at < now`).
+
+## Security checklist
+
+- Serve the issuer over HTTPS only; the SSO cookie is `Secure` automatically then.
+- Persist `SigningKeys` and share `CookieSecret` across instances.
+- Set `InitialAccessToken` unless open dynamic registration is intended.
+- Use `ManagedRefreshTokens` for public clients; keep `RequireConsent` on for third-party clients.
+- Put a `RateLimiter` in front of `token`, `authorize`, `device` and `register`.
+- Only PKCE S256 is accepted; redirect URIs match exactly (except the loopback port).
+- Keep `AllowPrivateNetworkFetch` off; `jwks_uri` fetches are SSRF-guarded.
+- Authenticate callers of `introspect` and `revoke` (the default).
+
+## Not supported
+
+`client_secret_jwt`, signed request objects (`request` / `request_uri` to a remote JWT), the DPoP server nonce, `c_hash`, encrypted id_tokens, and actor tokens in token exchange. Discovery does not advertise them.

-## Direct Mode (portable SQL without stored procedures)
+## Database access (lookup)
 
-Every database-backed provider (`DatabaseAuthenticator`, `JWTAuthenticator`, `DatabaseTwoFactorProvider`, `DatabasePasskeyProvider`, the OAuth2 methods/server, `DatabaseKeyStore`) has two code paths:
+`pkg/security` itself contains no SQL. Every database-backed provider (`DatabaseAuthenticator`, `JWTAuthenticator`, column/row security, `DatabaseTwoFactorProvider`, `DatabasePasskeyProvider`, the OAuth2 methods/server, `DatabaseKeyStore`) calls a store interface from `pkg/security/lookup`. Two backends implement each store:
 
-- **Procedure mode** — calls the configured `resolvespec_*` stored procedure (original behavior, Postgres-only).
+- **procedure** (`lookup/procedure`): calls the `resolvespec_*` stored procedures (`p_success` / `p_error` / `p_data` contract). Postgres only.
-- **Direct mode** — reimplements the same logic in Go using plain parameterized SQL against configurable table names. Works on SQLite, MySQL, or a Postgres database where the procedures were never deployed.
+- **direct** (`lookup/direct`): plain parameterized SQL on tables, rendered by a per-database dialect (`lookup/dialect`: postgres, sqlite, mysql, mssql). Table and column names are configurable.
 
-### QueryMode
+`lookup/backends.New(db, cfg, opts)` builds a `lookup.Provider` (all stores) and routes each operation to a backend. The security constructors do this for you from `lookup.Config`; pass a ready `*lookup.Provider` with `LookupProvider` / `WithLookupProvider` to share one between components.
 
-Selection is controlled per-provider by a `QueryMode`:
+### Choosing the mode
 
 ```go
-type QueryMode int
+type Config struct {
-
+    Dialect   string         // "postgres", "sqlite", "mysql", "mssql", or one you registered; empty = detect from the driver
-const (
+    Mode      lookup.Mode    // default for every operation
-    ModeAuto      QueryMode = iota // default
+    Overrides map[lookup.Op]lookup.Mode // per-operation mode, e.g. lookup.OpSession: lookup.ModeDirect
-    ModeProcedure
+    Procs     lookup.ProcNames // procedure names, empty fields keep the default
-    ModeDirect
+    Schema    lookup.Schema    // table/column names, missing entries keep the default
-)
-```
-
-- **`ModeAuto`** (default, zero value) — auto-detects per connection:
-  - SQLite/MySQL drivers → Direct mode, no probing.
-  - Postgres drivers (`lib/pq`, `pgx`) → probes `pg_proc` for the configured procedure name and uses it **only if it actually exists**; otherwise falls back to Direct mode. The result is cached per procedure name and reset on reconnect.
-  - Any other/unrecognized driver (including `sqlmock` test doubles) → defaults to Procedure mode, preserving existing behavior for callers that don't expose an identifiable driver type.
-- **`ModeProcedure`** — always calls the stored procedure, regardless of dialect.
-- **`ModeDirect`** — always uses the portable Go/SQL path, never the stored procedure.
-
-Set it via the provider's `Options` struct or `With...` chain method:
-
-```go
-auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticatorWithOptions(db, security.DatabaseAuthenticatorOptions{
-    QueryMode: security.ModeDirect, // force Direct mode, e.g. for SQLite
-})
-
-tfaProvider := security.NewDatabaseTwoFactorProvider(sqliteDB, nil).
-    WithQueryMode(security.ModeDirect)
-```
-
-On a real SQLite/MySQL connection you can usually leave `QueryMode` unset — `ModeAuto` detects the dialect and uses Direct mode automatically.
-
-### TableNames / KeyStoreTableNames
-
-Direct mode reads/writes plain tables instead of calling procedures, so table names are configurable the same way procedure names are (`SQLNames`):
-
-```go
-type TableNames struct {
-    Users                  string // default: "users"
-    UserSessions           string // default: "user_sessions"
-    TokenBlacklist         string // default: "token_blacklist"

+| Mode | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| `ModeDefault` (zero value) | stored procedure on Postgres, direct SQL on every other dialect |
+| `ModeProcedure` | always the procedure; an error on a non-Postgres dialect |
+| `ModeDirect` | always direct SQL |
+| `ModeAuto` | Postgres: probe `pg_proc` once per procedure (cached, reset on reconnect), use it if present, else direct. Other dialects: direct |
+
+An impossible combination (procedure on SQLite) fails when the provider is built, not on the first request. If the dialect is not set and cannot be detected from the driver, Postgres is assumed. A bad configuration makes every call return the error (fail closed).
 
 ```go
-auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticatorWithOptions(db, security.DatabaseAuthenticatorOptions{
+// SQLite or MySQL: nothing to configure, direct SQL is the default.
-    TableNames: &security.TableNames{Users: "app_users"}, // only override what differs
+auth := security.NewDatabaseAuthenticator(sqliteDB)
+
+// Postgres without the procedures installed: use tables only.
+auth = security.NewDatabaseAuthenticatorWithOptions(db, security.DatabaseAuthenticatorOptions{
+    Lookup: lookup.Config{Mode: lookup.ModeDirect},
 })
+
+// Postgres, procedures for everything except session lookups.
+auth = security.NewDatabaseAuthenticatorWithOptions(db, security.DatabaseAuthenticatorOptions{
+    Lookup: lookup.Config{Overrides: map[lookup.Op]lookup.Mode{lookup.OpSession: lookup.ModeDirect}},
+})
+
+tfa := security.NewDatabaseTwoFactorProvider(db, nil).WithLookup(lookup.Config{Mode: lookup.ModeDirect})
 ```
 
-`oauth2_methods.go` and `oauth_server_db.go` are methods on `*DatabaseAuthenticator` and reuse its `TableNames`/`QueryMode`; there's no separate config for them.
+Other components take the same `Lookup` / `LookupProvider` options (or `WithLookup` / `WithLookupProvider` on the chain-style types).
 
-### Schema
+### Custom names
 
-`database_schema_sqlite.sql` is the portable companion to `database_schema.sql` — plain `CREATE TABLE` statements only (no functions, no triggers, no `jsonb`/`bytea`/array types), covering every table Direct mode reads or writes. Use it to stand up a SQLite (or adapt for MySQL) database for Direct mode.
+```go
+cfg := lookup.Config{
+    Procs: lookup.ProcNames{Login: "myapp_login"},          // only override what differs
+    Schema: lookup.Schema{
+        lookup.EntityUsers: {Name: "app_users", Columns: map[string]string{"username": "login_name"}},
+    },
+}
+```
 
-### What's NOT covered
+Procedure names, table names and column names are validated as identifiers at construction. `Schema` entries may also set `Schema` to qualify a table (`schema.table`).
 
-`ColumnSecurityProvider`/`RowSecurityProvider` (`resolvespec_column_security` / `resolvespec_row_security`) query an external `core.secaccess`/`core.hub_link` schema this package doesn't own. Direct mode has no portable equivalent to fabricate for these and returns `security.ErrDirectModeUnsupported` — use `ConfigColumnSecurityProvider`/`ConfigRowSecurityProvider` instead when not running against Postgres with those procedures installed.
+### Schemas
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `lookup/database_schema.sql` | Postgres: tables **and** stored procedures (procedure backend) |
+| `lookup/keystore_schema.sql` | Postgres: `user_keys` table and key store procedures |
+| `lookup/ddl/{postgres,sqlite,mysql,mssql}.sql` | tables only, for the direct backend, with the default names |
+
+Read them from Go with `ddl.SQL("sqlite")` or, for drivers that reject multi-statement execution (MySQL, SQL Server), `ddl.Statements("mysql")`. Do not mix `ddl/postgres.sql` with `database_schema.sql`: the procedure schema stores passkey credential ids as `bytea` and OAuth lists as `text[]`, the direct backend stores base64 / JSON text. The `ddl` files are starting points: adjust types and collations to your deployment, and set `lookup.Config.Schema` if you rename anything.
+
+### Column and row security
+
+`ColumnSecurityProvider` / `RowSecurityProvider` read `sec_group_members` (optional), `sec_column_rules` and `sec_row_rules`, in both backends. A rule belongs to one user or one group; rules apply to the exact schema and table (case-insensitive, never a prefix); a blocking row rule wins, otherwise row templates are combined with `AND`. A non-numeric user reference is an error, and no rule means no restriction from this provider. `WithNoGroupTables()` skips the membership table.
 
 ### Behavioral notes
 
-- Direct mode matches Procedure mode's current behavior exactly, including its TODOs — e.g. passwords are compared as-is (the stored procedures don't verify bcrypt hashes yet either; see the TODO in `resolvespec_login`/`resolvespec_password_reset`).
+- Direct login, register, refresh, API-key login, password reset and passkey login run in one transaction.
-- Session tokens generated by Direct mode use the same `sess_<hex>_<unix-timestamp>` shape as the plpgsql procedures.
+- Passwords are stored as bcrypt; legacy cleartext values are accepted at login and only rewritten when `UpgradePasswordHash` is enabled.
-- `bytea`/array/`jsonb` Postgres-only columns (passkey credentials, OAuth2 client scopes, keystore `meta`) are stored as base64/JSON-encoded `TEXT` in Direct mode — transparent to callers, since the Go-level API already deals in those same encodings.
+- Session tokens use the shape `sess_<hex>_<unix-timestamp>` in both backends.
+- Direct mode stores `bytea` / array / `jsonb` values (passkey credentials, OAuth client lists, key meta) as base64 / JSON text; the Go API is unchanged.
+- OAuth authorization codes are consumed atomically.
+- Adding a database: implement `dialect.Dialect`, register it with `dialect.Register`, then set `Config.Dialect`.
+- Backend conformance: `lookup/conformance` is one behavioural suite run against every backend (`go test ./pkg/security/lookup/backends -run TestConformance`). SQLite runs always; Postgres (procedure and direct), MySQL and SQL Server run when `RESOLVESPEC_TEST_PG_DSN`, `RESOLVESPEC_TEST_PG_DIRECT_DSN`, `RESOLVESPEC_TEST_MYSQL_DSN` or `RESOLVESPEC_TEST_MSSQL_DSN` is set (see the comment in `backends/conformance_test.go`). Rows are prefixed and removed afterwards. With `RESOLVESPEC_TEST_CONTAINERS=1` (and not `-short`) the container tests start a throwaway database with podman or docker (podman first), run the suite and remove the container, so no DSN is needed.
+- Migration from the old `SQLNames` / `TableNames` / `QueryMode` API: see `breaking_changes.md`.

+
+Appended as each step of `audit/sec_query_builder.plan.md` lands.
+
+## Step 0: shared types moved to `sectypes` (no action needed)
+
+The plain data types now live in `pkg/security/sectypes` and are aliased in `pkg/security`
+(`types.go`), so `security.UserContext` and `sectypes.UserContext` are the same type.
+Moved: `UserContext`, `LoginRequest/Response`, `RegisterRequest`, `LogoutRequest`,
+`PasswordReset*`, `KeyType` (+ constants), `UserKey`, `CreateKey*`, `OAuthServerClient`,
+`OAuthCode`, `OAuthTokenInfo`, `Passkey*` data structs, `TwoFactorSecret`, `ColumnSecurity`,
+`RowSecurity` (incl. `GetTemplate`).
+
+## Step 0b (totp): moved to `pkg/security/totp`
+
+Import `github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/security/totp`. No aliases (import cycle).
+
+| Old | New |
+|---|---|
+| `security.TwoFactorAuthProvider` | `totp.AuthProvider` |
+| `security.TwoFactorConfig` / `DefaultTwoFactorConfig` | `totp.Config` / `totp.DefaultConfig` |
+| `security.TOTPGenerator` / `NewTOTPGenerator` | `totp.Generator` / `totp.NewGenerator` |
+| `security.GenerateBackupCodes` | `totp.GenerateBackupCodes` |
+| `security.MemoryTwoFactorProvider` / `NewMemoryTwoFactorProvider` | `totp.MemoryProvider` / `totp.NewMemoryProvider` |
+| `security.TwoFactorAuthenticator` / `NewTwoFactorAuthenticator` | `totp.Authenticator` / `totp.NewAuthenticator` |
+
+`totp.NewAuthenticator` takes a `totp.BaseAuthenticator` (Login, Logout, Authenticate) instead of
+`security.Authenticator`; any `security.Authenticator` satisfies it.
+
+`DatabaseTwoFactorProvider` stays in `security` (it now calls the lookup `TOTPStore`). Core imports
+`totp`, so `totp` must not import `security`.
+
+## Step 0b (providers, first part): moved to `pkg/security/providers`
+
+Import `github.com/bitechdev/ResolveSpec/pkg/security/providers`. Names unchanged, no aliases (import cycle).
+
+| Old | New |
+|---|---|
+| `security.HeaderAuthenticator` / `NewHeaderAuthenticator` | `providers.HeaderAuthenticator` / `providers.NewHeaderAuthenticator` |
+| `security.ConfigKeyStore` / `NewConfigKeyStore` | `providers.ConfigKeyStore` / `providers.NewConfigKeyStore` |
+| `security.KeyStoreAuthenticator` / `NewKeyStoreAuthenticator` | `providers.KeyStoreAuthenticator` / `providers.NewKeyStoreAuthenticator` |
+| `security.ConfigColumnSecurityProvider` / `NewConfigColumnSecurityProvider` | `providers.ConfigColumnSecurityProvider` / `providers.NewConfigColumnSecurityProvider` |
+| `security.ConfigRowSecurityProvider` / `NewConfigRowSecurityProvider` | `providers.ConfigRowSecurityProvider` / `providers.NewConfigRowSecurityProvider` |
+
+The SHA-256 key hash helper is now `sectypes.HashKey`. The database-backed providers
+(`DatabaseAuthenticator`, `JWTAuthenticator`, `DatabaseKeyStore`, `DatabaseColumn/RowSecurityProvider`)
+stay in `security`; they call the lookup stores (see step 5).
+
+## Additions (no action needed)
+
+- `common.SQLDBProvider` (`SQLDB() *sql.DB`) is implemented by the bun, gorm and pgsql adapters
+  (not their transaction adapters). `lookup.FromDatabase(common.Database)` uses it, plus the
+  adapter's `DriverName()`, to get the `*sql.DB` and dialect name.
+
+## Steps 2–3: lookup dialects and procedure backend
+
+- New `lookup/dialect` (postgres, sqlite, mysql, mssql) and `lookup/procedure` packages. No
+  existing exported `security` API changed in these steps.
+- Procedure-mode code paths in `DatabaseAuthenticator`, `JWTAuthenticator`, the policy providers,
+  `DatabaseKeyStore`, `DatabaseTwoFactorProvider` and `DatabasePasskeyProvider` now delegate to
+  `lookup/procedure`. Error texts are unchanged.
+- Behaviour change (improvement): these procedure paths now reconnect once on a closed `*sql.DB`
+  (JWT logout, key create, TOTP, passkey, OAuth previously used the handle directly).
+
+## Step 4: lookup/direct backend
+
+- New `lookup/direct` package: table-backed stores for auth, keys, OAuth (client + user), passkey,
+  TOTP and policy, built from `lookup.Schema` and the dialect. Nothing in `pkg/security` calls it
+  yet (wiring happens in step 5), so no existing API changes here.
+- Direct `LoginAPIKey` is new: `header_api` / `api` keys only; unknown, expired, inactive and
+  wrong-type keys (and inactive users) all return `lookup.ErrInvalidAPIKey`.
+- Policy tables (`sec_group_members`, `sec_column_rules`, `sec_row_rules`) are required for the
+  direct policy store; `PolicyOptions.NoGroups` skips the membership table.
+- Direct behaviour that changes when step 5 switches over: login, register, refresh, API-key login,
+  password reset and passkey login now write in one transaction; `Keys.Create` stores NULL (not the
+  text `null`) for empty scopes/meta; OAuth code exchange consumes the code atomically; a
+  non-numeric row-security user reference is an error instead of loading no rules.
+
+## Step 5: pkg/security uses lookup
+
+`pkg/security` no longer contains SQL (guarded by `TestCoreContainsNoSQL`). Every database call goes
+through a `lookup.Provider` built by `lookup/backends.New`.
+
+Removed (replaced by `lookup.Config`: `Dialect`, `Mode`, `Overrides`, `Procs`, `Schema`):
+- Types and functions `SQLNames`, `DefaultSQLNames`, `MergeSQLNames`, `ValidateSQLNames`,
+  `TableNames` (+ Default/Merge/Validate), `KeyStoreSQLNames`, `KeyStoreTableNames` (+ same),
+  `QueryMode`, `ModeAuto`/`ModeProcedure`/`ModeDirect`, `ErrDirectModeUnsupported`.
+- Options fields `SQLNames`, `TableNames`, `QueryMode` on `DatabaseAuthenticatorOptions`,
+  `DatabaseKeyStoreOptions`, `DatabasePasskeyProviderOptions`; replaced by `Lookup lookup.Config`
+  and `LookupProvider *lookup.Provider`.
+- Builders `WithQueryMode`, `WithTableNames` on `JWTAuthenticator`, the column/row providers and
+  `DatabaseTwoFactorProvider`; replaced by `WithLookup(cfg)` and `WithLookupProvider(p)`.
+- The variadic `names ...*SQLNames` argument of `NewJWTAuthenticator`,
+  `NewDatabaseColumnSecurityProvider`, `NewDatabaseRowSecurityProvider` and
+  `NewDatabaseTwoFactorProvider`.
+
+Behaviour changes:
+- Default mode is per dialect: stored procedures on Postgres, direct SQL elsewhere. `ModeAuto`
+  (probe `pg_proc` once per procedure) is now opt-in via `lookup.ModeAuto`; it used to be the
+  default everywhere. Procedure mode on a non-Postgres dialect is a configuration error.
+- A bad lookup configuration no longer panics or is silently ignored: the component logs it and
+  every call returns the error.
+- Dialect is detected from the driver; if detection fails the postgres dialect is assumed.
+- Column and row security now work in direct mode (tables `sec_group_members`, `sec_column_rules`,
+  `sec_row_rules`); they used to return `ErrDirectModeUnsupported`. `WithNoGroupTables()` skips the
+  group membership table.
+- `LoginWithAPIKey` works in direct mode; `DatabaseAuthenticator.Logout` now clears the session
+  cache in every mode (direct mode used to skip it).
+- `Authenticate` now holds the session lookup in the configured backend only; the activity update no
+  longer silently falls back to a direct write when the procedure is missing.
+- Direct-mode behaviour changes listed under step 4 take effect here.
+
+## Step 6: schemas and docs
+
+- SQL files moved from `pkg/security/` to `pkg/security/lookup/` (`database_schema.sql`,
+  `keystore_schema.sql`). `database_schema_sqlite.sql` is superseded by `lookup/ddl/sqlite.sql`
+  (now also includes `sec_group_members`, `sec_column_rules`, `sec_row_rules`).
+- New `lookup/ddl` package: embedded reference table schemas for `postgres`, `sqlite`, `mysql`,
+  `mssql` (`ddl.SQL(dialect)`, `ddl.Statements(dialect)`). `ddl/postgres.sql` is tables only and uses
+  base64 / JSON text columns, so it cannot be combined with the procedure schema
+  (`database_schema.sql`, `bytea` / `text[]` columns) on the same tables.
+- `security.ApplyTxSettings` is unchanged; its SQL moved to `lookup.ApplyTxSettings(ctx, tx, settings)`.
+- Removed the unexported `password.go` from `pkg/security` (bcrypt helpers live in `lookup/direct`).
+- `README.md`, `KEYSTORE.md` and the root README describe `lookup.Config` instead of `QueryMode`,
+  `SQLNames` and `TableNames`.
+
+## Step 8: full OAuth2 / OpenID Connect
+
+Full guide: [OAUTH2_SERVER.md](OAUTH2_SERVER.md). New features are opt-in; the items below are what existing installs must do or notice.
+
+### Schema (existing installs)
+
+Fresh installs use `lookup/database_schema.sql` or `lookup/ddl/<dialect>.sql`. Existing databases need:
+
+- `ALTER TABLE oauth_clients ADD COLUMN metadata <json>` (client metadata: logout URIs, jwks, require_consent, first_party, dpop_bound, signing algs, ...)
+- `ALTER TABLE oauth_codes ADD COLUMN extra <json>` (nonce, auth_time, acr, amr, claims, user_id, dpop_jkt, resource)
+- New tables `oauth_consents`, `oauth_refresh_tokens`, `oauth_device_codes`, `oauth_par_requests`, `oauth_jti` (copy them from the schema files). Access-grant records are stored in `oauth_refresh_tokens`.
+- Postgres procedure mode: reapply `lookup/database_schema.sql` (new `resolvespec_oauth_*` functions, listed in `lookup/procs.go`).
+
+`<json>` is `jsonb` on Postgres, `TEXT` on SQLite, `JSON` on MySQL and `NVARCHAR(MAX)` on SQL Server. New lookup operations and `lookup.OAuthGrantStore` (`Provider.OAuthGrant`) are added to the procedure and direct backends and to the conformance suite; custom `lookup.Config.Procs` overrides gain the new names.
+
+### New API (no action needed)
+
+`OAuthServerConfig` options (see the guide), `OAuthSigningKey`, `OAuthServer.RegisterTrustedClient`, `VerifyAccessToken`, `OAuthClaimsProvider`; `OIDCConfig`, `DatabaseAuthenticator.WithOIDC`, `OAuth2GetAuthURLWithOptions`, `OAuth2HandleCallbackRequest`, `OAuth2LogoutURL`; `OAuth2Config` gains `Issuer`, `JWKSURL`, `EndSessionURL`, `UsePKCE`, `AllowedAlgs`, `AuthStyle`, `HTTPClient`, `ClockSkew`. `DatabaseAuthenticator` gains `OAuthUpdateClient`, `OAuthDeleteClient`, `OAuthGetUser`, `OAuthGrants`.
+
+### Behaviour changes
+
+- `/oauth/introspect` and `/oauth/revoke` require client authentication. Set `AllowAnonymousIntrospection` for the old behaviour.
+- Once the `redirect_uri` is validated, authorization errors are redirected to the client (`error`, `state`, `iss`) instead of being returned as JSON. Authorization responses carry `iss` (RFC 9207).
+- Only PKCE `S256` is accepted.
+- The login form is an `html/template` page with a signed state field; direct form POSTs of earlier versions are still accepted.
+- Default grant types of a dynamically registered client include `refresh_token`.
+- Authorization-code grants mint a fresh session for the grant. Tokens saved directly with `OAuthSaveCode(SessionToken: ...)` keep working.
+- `OAuth2Provider` keeps its PKCE verifier and nonce with the `state`; `Google` preset now validates id_tokens and uses the OpenID Connect endpoints.
+- Unauthenticated `userinfo` and discovery routes are unchanged; `userinfo` also answers POST and releases only the claims the granted scopes allow.
+
+### Not supported
+
+`client_secret_jwt`, signed request objects, the DPoP server nonce, `c_hash`, encrypted id_tokens and `actor_token`.
