feat: add generic OpenID Connect login

[mashpie]

What

We self-host Hopp and sign in through our own identity provider. This adds a generic
OpenID Connect provider next to Google/GitHub/Slack, with no IdP-specific logic. It is
opt-in and runs in production for us against Pocket ID.

Configuration

All optional; enabled when issuer and client ID are set.

• OIDC_ISSUER_URL: endpoints are resolved via discovery
• OIDC_CLIENT_ID
• OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET: optional, public clients are supported
• OIDC_DISPLAY_NAME: label of the login button
• OIDC_SINGLE_TEAM: see below

Behaviour

• Authorization code flow, always with PKCE (S256). Scopes openid email profile.
• Redirect URI: https://<domain>/api/auth/social/oidc/callback.
• Accounts are matched by email, like the existing providers. Logins without
  email_verified: true are rejected.
• Invitations work as with the other social logins.
• The desktop app needs no change: it already signs in through the web app and receives
  the token via the hopp:///authenticate deep link.
• The web app shows the button based on a small public endpoint, GET /api/config.

OIDC_SINGLE_TEAM=true

By default a new user without an invitation gets their own team, as today. For a company
instance that means every colleague ends up alone. With this switch the first OIDC user
creates the team and becomes its admin, and every later OIDC user without an invitation
joins it. The team is marked with a new teams.is_oidc_team column (added by
AutoMigrate), so teams that already exist are never joined this way; an operator can
adopt an existing team by setting the flag once. It is in separate commits, so I can move
it to a follow-up PR if you prefer.

Implementation notes

• Uses goth's openidConnect provider, golang.org/x/oauth2 for PKCE and go-jose for
  signature verification. All three were already in the module graph, so there is no new
  dependency (x/oauth2 and go-jose move from indirect to direct in go.mod).
• goth validates issuer, audience and expiry of the ID token but not its signature, so
  the callback verifies it against the issuer's keys (jwks_uri) before using any claim.
  Only asymmetric algorithms are accepted. Keys are loaded at startup and refreshed once,
  rate-limited, when an unknown key ID shows up.
• The issuer and all discovered endpoints must use https; plain http is accepted for
  loopback hosts only.
• Discovery runs at startup with a timeout. If the provider is unreachable, OIDC is
  disabled with a warning and the server still starts.
• The PKCE verifier is kept in the application session next to the team invite, because
  gothic's own session is replaced on every write.

Commits

1. feat(backend): add generic OpenID Connect login
2. feat(backend): add OIDC_SINGLE_TEAM to put all OIDC users into one team
3. feat(web-app): add OpenID Connect login button
4. doc: document OpenID Connect login for self-hosting
5. fix(backend): verify OIDC ID token signatures and require https (review feedback)
6. fix(backend): bind OIDC single-team mode to a dedicated team (review feedback)

Testing

• Integration tests run the full flow against a fake IdP that signs its tokens and
  enforces PKCE: new user, existing user matched by email, unverified email, forged
  state, caller-supplied code_verifier, unsigned / foreign-key / tampered ID tokens,
  plain http endpoints, invitation, single-team mode with and without existing teams,
  missing given_name, and discovery failure at startup.
• Tested end to end against Pocket ID with a public client, in the web app and by signing
  in from the desktop app.
• selfhost/.env.example, selfhost/compose.yml and the self-hosting docs are updated.

Relation to #391

Independent of the sign-up/password switches in #391. Both add GET /api/config, each
with its own fields, so whichever lands second needs a small rebase; I'll take care of it.

OIDC sign-in

Layer / File(s)	Summary
OIDC configuration and provider setup backend/internal/config/config.go, backend/internal/handlers/oidc.go, backend/internal/handlers/oidcKeys.go, backend/internal/server/server.go, backend/go.mod, selfhost/.env.example, selfhost/compose.yml, docs/src/content/docs/open-source/self-hosting.md	The backend reads OIDC settings from the environment, validates issuer discovery and signing keys, and registers the provider when configured. The self-hosting files pass through and document the settings.
Authorization, callback, and account handling backend/internal/handlers/oidc.go, backend/internal/handlers/handlers.go, backend/internal/models/team.go, backend/test/integration/oidc_test.go	OIDC sign-in uses a session-stored PKCE verifier. Callback handling verifies ID-token signatures and email claims, fills missing first names, and applies invitation and single-team membership rules. Integration tests cover authorization, callback, and account behavior.
Public instance configuration API backend/api-files/openapi.yaml, backend/internal/handlers/instanceConfig.go, backend/internal/server/server.go, tauri/src/openapi.d.ts, web-app/src/openapi.d.ts, backend/test/integration/oidc_test.go	The public GET /api/config endpoint returns OIDC enabled status and display name. The OpenAPI schema, client declarations, and integration tests describe and check this response.
OIDC login-page integration web-app/src/pages/Login.tsx	The login page fetches instance configuration and conditionally displays an OIDC button. It forwards an invitation UUID and displays an error toast when email verification fails.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b73ca

An OIDC login could access an account whose email the provider has not verified. Bind verification to the account email before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 953d8

The new login flow has material identity and team-access risks. OIDC-specific checks are not consistently bound to the provider actually used for authentication, and trusted identity claims can arrive through endpoints that are not required to use HTTPS. Single-team enrollment can also admit new users into a pre-existing team. These risks are conditional on identity-provider behavior or deployment settings, but can affect existing accounts and team access.

Retained concerns

• High · security · inferred: OIDC-only controls are selected by the callback route, but Goth selects the authentication provider independently from query parameters or saved session state. A caller can initiate OIDC, reuse the returned state in an authorization request with their own PKCE challenge, and submit the resulting code to a non-OIDC callback route with provider=oidc and their verifier. This skips both the server-held verifier replacement and the email_verified gate. If the configured issuer allows an unverified email matching an existing account, the callback can issue that account's JWT even over HTTPS. State validation and the configured redirect URI do not bind the invoked application route to the selected provider.
• High · security · inferred: The new OIDC path relies on authenticated transport for identity integrity without requiring HTTPS for discovery or discovered token/UserInfo endpoints. Goth v1.80.0 checks issuer, audience, and expiry but does not verify the ID-token signature. Where UserInfo is absent, an attacker able to alter an HTTP token response can supply a victim email and email_verified=true and reach existing-account JWT issuance. Protected HTTPS transport limits this path, and protected UserInfo can constrain altered claims, but deployment documentation alone does not enforce either condition.
• High · security · inferred: OIDC_SINGLE_TEAM assigns new, uninvited OIDC users to the globally oldest existing team rather than an explicitly designated or OIDC-bootstrapped team. On an existing mixed-team deployment, enabling the switch therefore grants those users membership and room-list access in a potentially unrelated team. The first OIDC user also remains non-admin, contrary to the documented bootstrap behavior. The lookup is deliberate and opt-in, valid invitations take precedence, and later users do not gain admin status; nevertheless, team ownership is inferred from age rather than established explicitly.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Successful identity substitution can impersonate an existing account and inherit its stored team access and administrative status. The code-level scope is not limited to newly created OIDC accounts. SingleTeam enrollment separately exposes the oldest team's room listing to new eligible OIDC users when enabled.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The cross-route path requires a caller's own valid OIDC session and authorization code, not a victim's session or broken TLS. Account impersonation additionally requires the issuer to allow the caller an unverified email matching that account. The transport-alteration path instead requires access to alter an inadequately protected identity response; it is not established for an all-HTTPS production deployment. Neither path was dynamically executed during this assessment.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Goth checks callback state against the saved authorization URL. Its OIDC implementation checks audience, issuer, expiry, and UserInfo subject agreement when UserInfo is configured. These checks establish transaction and claim consistency, but do not verify an ID-token signature or require the application callback route to identify the same provider.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Account/team database errors return before JWT generation, containing unsuccessful enrollment mutations. Invitation-session cleanup occurs inside the database transaction but is persisted separately; that ordering and its ignored save errors already existed in the base social-login flow and are not treated as a new standalone security concern.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Resolve and bind provider identity once before callback processing, reject route/query/session mismatches, and apply verifier handling and email eligibility to that bound identity. Associate each verifier with its authorization attempt and handle cleanup failures explicitly.
• proposed — Enforce authenticated HTTPS throughout discovery and identity-response retrieval, including redirect handling. Consider a verifying OIDC implementation that authenticates ID-token signatures using issuer keys rather than relying solely on endpoint transport.
• proposed — Make shared-team adoption an explicit deployment decision with a persisted team identifier and coordinated bootstrap uniqueness. Define recovery and access review for partial rollout or disabling the mode, rather than deriving ownership from the oldest team.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bind email verification to the account email.

When UserInfo is enabled, Goth v1.80.0 checks only sub, then merges UserInfo claims into the ID-token claims. If the ID token contains verified email A and UserInfo returns email B without email_verified, oidcEmailVerified(user) still accepts the retained true value. The callback then matches or creates the account with B.

Use the signature-verified ID-token email and email_verified claims for this check. Reject the callback when the verified ID-token email differs from user.Email.

Add a focused replay test for the single-use PKCE verifier.

The current tests do not detect this regression. oidcLoginFrom performs one callback only, and TestOIDC_CallbackWithoutVerifierRejected removes the application session cookie before the callback. A regression that leaves the verifier in a valid session would pass both tests.

Use the session cookie returned after the first callback, combine it with a fresh goth session and state from a second authorization start, and replay the callback. Restore the first flow's idp.challenge before the replay because the fake provider stores one global challenge. Assert HTTP 400 and no additional token attempt.
