Summary

Adds a browser-approved Cloud account flow to RCLI without coupling the CLI to the SDK bootstrap path.

What changed

  • Adds rcli login, rcli logout, and rcli whoami.
  • Implements the direct libcurl device/browser approval flow with explicit timeout and failure handling.
  • Stores credentials using native secure storage where available, with clearly reported fallback modes.
  • Prevents access tokens from appearing in stdout, stderr, URLs, or normal diagnostics.
  • Vendors nlohmann JSON 3.11.3 for the standalone CLI build.

API/contract notes

The flow is designed for the Cloud auth contract and does not call SDK bootstrap or private billing endpoints. The CLI remains independently buildable and keeps protobuf/SDK sources separate.

Validation

  • Official v0.20.31 kit SHA verified.
  • Offline C++ build passed.
  • CTest: 6/6 passed.
  • Account CLI e2e: login → whoami → logout passed.
  • Modelless e2e passed.
  • Full Swift MLX host validation remains blocked by the upstream RACommonsBinary checksum mismatch (downloaded 3be93c…, manifest 81c630…).

Non-goals

  • No OpenCode/editor integration (see the stacked follow-up PR).
  • No billing, quota, inference backend, or NotSglang changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added cloud sign-in with rcli login, including browser-based approval and --no-browser support.
    • Added rcli whoami to display the signed-in cloud identity.
    • Added rcli logout to revoke the cloud session and remove local credentials.
    • Supports custom console URLs and secure cross-platform credential storage.
  • Documentation

    • Documented cloud sign-in commands, configuration, session storage, and security behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added automated coverage for authentication flows, credential handling, security validation, and CLI behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds browser-approved cloud authentication through login, whoami, and logout. The change adds secure cross-platform credential storage, console HTTP operations, CLI registration, CMake wiring, documentation, and unit and end-to-end tests.

Changes

Cloud account authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Console authentication contract and transport
src/account/console.h, src/account/console.cpp, third_party/nlohmann/LICENSE.MIT
Defines account HTTP models and ConsoleClient. Implements authorization, polling, refresh, identity lookup, revocation, response validation, timeout handling, response limits, and sanitized errors.
Secure credential storage and validation
src/account/credentials.h, src/account/credentials.cpp
Adds credential state, console and browser URL validation, profile path resolution, secure loading and saving, platform-specific protection, atomic writes, and clearing.
Account command workflow and build integration
src/commands/cmd_account.cpp, src/commands/commands.h, src/app.cpp, CMakeLists.txt, README.md
Registers account login, account whoami, and account logout. Implements browser approval, polling, refresh, revocation, credential updates, build linkage, and cloud sign-in documentation.
Account workflow validation
tests/test_rcli_account.cpp, tests/test_account_cli.py, tests/CMakeLists.txt
Adds unit and hermetic end-to-end coverage for validation, persistence, console requests, secret handling, CLI output, session permissions, and request order.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 32900

The new browser login flow adds persistent cloud sessions, but logout can remove local credentials even when remote sign-out fails, leaving an active session that cannot be retried easily; login persistence failures can similarly leave local and cloud state inconsistent. The PR also has build-gate and portability fixes outstanding, so these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Type the constant multiplications explicitly.

These expressions are evaluated as int before widening to the destination type. The values are correct, but the warnings-as-errors build rejects the implicit widening. Cast the left operand to the destination type at both sites.

Two const locals block the automatic move on return. Both functions return a const std::string local, so the compiler copies instead of moving, and clang-tidy reports performance-no-automatic-move as an error under the warnings-as-errors gate.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The fixed 220-byte buffer truncates long email addresses.

DisplayTextIsSafe in src/account/console.cpp accepts an email of up to 320 characters. With the 14-character label and separator, snprintf truncates any email longer than about 205 characters. snprintf is bounds-safe, so this is a display defect only. Format the line with std::string instead of a fixed buffer.

Superseded by stacked follow-up PR #50, which preserves Siddhesh's #34 harness/editor work and carries the hardened account implementation together with hosted OpenCode. Closing the duplicate branch so there is one review path.

Heads-up on an overlap: PR #34 on this repo also adds browser-approved cloud login, and the two implementations touch the same files — src/account/console.cpp, src/account/credentials.cpp, src/commands/cmd_account.cpp and src/app.cpp.

They were built against different backends. This one targets the console's existing flow; #34 targets the new cloud control plane in InferenceInfra (POST /auth/cli/start → browser approval → POST /auth/cli/poll), which is deployed and tested end to end against https://inference.runanywhere.ai/api-dev — start, approve, collect key and refresh token.

Worth a look before either merges, since whichever lands second will conflict across most of the same files. Happy to reconcile from our side if that's easier — the endpoint shapes on our end are pinned by tests, so the CLI contract is the part with room to move.
