feat(admin): add superadmin-only create-admin endpoint - #57
Conversation
Until now the only way to get an Admin row was scripts/create-superadmin.ts,
which by design can only bootstrap the first one. This adds the ongoing path: an
existing superadmin adding another admin through the API.
POST /admin/admins takes { address, name, isSuperAdmin? } behind
requireSuperAdmin, so a non-superadmin admin gets a 403. The address is
validated with StrKey.isValidEd25519PublicKey, and an address that already has
an Admin row is a 409 — the same non-overwrite discipline the bootstrap script
enforces, never an update and never a silently swallowed no-op.
isSuperAdmin defaults to false: a superadmin adding another admin does not
implicitly grant superadmin, though it can be requested explicitly. Only a real
boolean is accepted rather than any truthy value, since coercing the string
"false" would silently escalate the new admin's privileges. The created row
records createdBy as the acting superadmin's id, and exactly one admin.created
AdminLog entry is written per successful call.
The response goes through a new sanitizeAdmin allow-list, mirroring
sanitizeMerchant, so a sensitive field added to the model later is not exposed
by default. No keypair or secret exists anywhere in this flow — admins
authenticate with their own existing Stellar wallet.
No smart contract call is made. Admin membership here is deliberately a backend
concept, decoupled from the contract's own Admin/Manager/Operator role system,
which is a separate on-chain authorization concern this backend does not drive.
Also updates the "off-chain actions with no endpoint yet" note in
indexer/handlers/not-yet-implemented.ts, which named admin.created as a known
gap that this endpoint closes.

Make Admin creation and auditing atomic.
recordAuditLog catches its own database errors. Line 91 therefore resolves even when no admin.created row exists, and line 101 returns 201. This violates the required one-audit-row-per-success invariant.
Persist the Admin row and its audit row in one Prisma transaction. Fail the request when either write fails.

Convert concurrent duplicate failures to 409.
Admin.address is unique, but the separate findUnique check does not prevent concurrent requests from reaching prisma.admin.create. Map the resulting Prisma P2002 error to AppError(409, 'An admin already exists for this address') and add a regression test.

Reject null when isSuperAdmin is supplied.
Line 40 exempts null, so { "isSuperAdmin": null } passes validation and creates a non-superadmin record. This conflicts with the contract that a supplied isSuperAdmin value must be a boolean. Treat only undefined as omitted. Add a unit assertion for null.
Proposed fix
- payload.isSuperAdmin !== null &&
typeof payload.isSuperAdmin !== 'boolean'📝 Committable suggestion

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Address CodeRabbit review on PR ShadeProtocol#57. Admin creation and its audit row are now written in one Prisma transaction. recordAuditLog swallows its own database errors by design, so the previous flow could return 201 with no admin.created row, leaving a privileged account with no audit trail. createAdmin now writes the adminLog row directly inside the transaction so a failure there propagates and rolls back the admin row. Every other recordAuditLog caller keeps the swallowing behaviour it wants. The findUnique pre-check is not a lock, so two concurrent requests for the same address can both pass it. The unique constraint on Admin.address now surfaces as the same 409 the sequential path returns, rather than a 500. The P2002 check is duck-typed to match auth.services.ts, since the generated client is mocked in tests. Validation treated an explicit null isSuperAdmin as omission, silently creating a non-superadmin record for a payload that violates the boolean contract. Only undefined counts as omitted now. Tests cover the concurrent duplicate, the audit write failure, and the null isSuperAdmin case at both the unit and integration level.
