Follow-up to #4040, reproduced on staging after it deployed: the owner still gets "This authorization link belongs to a different account" for their own link.

#4040 gave the page a way to prove who the visitor is, and then asked too early. AuthKitProvider restores its session asynchronously, so a claim fired on mount calls getAccessToken before there is one to give — it answers with nothing, the claim goes out unidentified, and the backend refuses. Same symptom, cause moved from "never sends a token" to "sends it a moment too late".

The claim now waits for isLoading to clear. Only the claim waits: a signed-out visitor settles just as fast with no user and proceeds unauthenticated, so guest-owned links are unaffected.

The regression test now models what the real provider does (no token until the session is restored) — the previous mock answered immediately and therefore could not see this. I verified the test fails with the gate removed and passes with it.

Client typecheck clean; 15 handoff tests green.

Summary by cubic

Prevents unidentified claims during server connection handoff by waiting for AuthKit session restoration. Previously the claim fired on mount and called getAccessToken before a session existed, sending no identity and failing with “This authorization link belongs to a different account”; now only the claim waits for isLoading to clear while the initial /state read and /authorize/complete callback proceed immediately to avoid stalling or stranding the code exchange.

  • Gates only the claim path in ServerConnectionHandoff on authLoading from useAuth (@workos-inc/authkit-react); adds authLoading and getAccessToken to the effect dependencies.
  • Adds tests: the claim waits and includes a Bearer token once loaded; the authorization callback still posts to /authorize/complete even if isLoading remains true.

Written for commit a473467. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

#4040 gave the handoff page a way to prove who the visitor is, and then
asked too early. `AuthKitProvider` restores its session asynchronously, so a
claim fired on mount calls `getAccessToken` before there is one to give: it
answers with nothing, the claim goes out unidentified, and the backend
refuses an account-owned link to its own owner. Same symptom as before —
"This authorization link belongs to a different account" for your own link —
with the cause moved from "never sends a token" to "sends it a moment too
late". Reproduced on staging after #4040 deployed.

The claim now waits for `isLoading` to clear. Only the claim waits; a
signed-out visitor settles just as fast with no user and proceeds
unauthenticated, so guest-owned links are unaffected.

The regression test models what the real provider does — no token until it
has finished restoring a session — because the previous mock answered
immediately and therefore could not see this. Verified it fails with the
gate removed.

Client typecheck clean; 15 handoff tests green.

Walkthrough

ServerConnectionHandoff now waits for AuthKit initialization before claiming a handoff. After loading completes, it retrieves the signed-in user's access token and sends the authenticated claim request. Callback and continuation-cookie flows remain ungated. Tests now mock AuthKit loading state, reset it during cleanup, and verify both callback completion during loading and delayed claiming with a bearer token.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a4734

This localized change delays authorization-link claims until the authentication session settles, preventing owner claims from being sent without identity while preserving guest behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

…back

Review catch. The loading gate sat above route resolution, so it also held
back the two paths that authenticate with the continuation cookie and want
nothing from AuthKit: the initial `/state` read, and `/authorize/complete`.

The second is the one that matters. A refresh that is merely slow delays the
code exchange; a refresh that never settles strands it entirely — AFTER the
user has consented at the authorization server, so their authorization is
spent and the request sits in `authorizing` until it expires. That would have
made the fix for one dead end into the cause of a worse one.

Route first, gate second: only `kind === "claim"` waits.

New test drives the callback with `isLoading` stuck true and asserts
`/authorize/complete` still posts. Verified it fails against the broad gate.

Client typecheck clean; 16 handoff tests green.
