Authentication settings: turning off email and password with no other sign-in method saves without warning, and everyone is locked out

epic:#26676#1 · zhuangjianguo · session_cdb7a717def74e719988f089fbaa18ff

From a real-user walkthrough of Setup, filed on the maintainer's word: 「以上都同意，立卡」 (2026-11-05). Measured on main b7075d9908, with the console in dev mode, unless a line says otherwise. Test app scaffolded with [email protected].

What a customer sees

An administrator plans to move to single sign-on and turns off 启用邮箱/密码登录 before SSO is configured. It saves. As soon as people sign out, no one can sign back in, the administrator included, and the fix needs an environment variable or a database edit.

Measured

Setup → Settings → Authentication, switch off, 保存更改: toast 「设置已保存」, no warning or confirmation. socialProviders is empty and SSO is off.
POST /api/v1/auth/sign-in/email: 400 EMAIL_PASSWORD_DISABLED.
GET /api/v1/auth/config: emailPassword.enabled: false.
The login page still drew the email and password form, and submitting showed Email and password is not enabled, in English. console login: with email+password sign-in off and no SSO provider, the card says "Sign in with your organization's single sign-on" but shows no SSO button and no working method #29159 changed this page's copy for the same state and is closed; this was read under os dev through the console dev server, so the dev sign-in affordance may have influenced what was drawn.

Expected

The save is refused while it would leave no sign-in method, and names what to configure first. When email and password really are off, the login page does not offer the form.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. Turning off email and password sign-in with no other sign-in method configured saves with no warning. Once people sign out, nobody can sign back in, the administrator included, and recovery needs an environment change. A whole-tenant lockout from one Setup toggle, so p1.
Fix site: the auth settings save door (plugin-auth) refuses a configuration with no working sign-in method. The Setup confirmation is the domain:ui half.

File surface: packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/ (the auth settings apply / save door, tests), possibly manifest.ts (help text), one changeset .changeset/30202-keep-a-sign-in-method.md. ⛔ packages/spec/**, ui/**, apps/**, skills/**, docs/adr/**, .claude/**. (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default tier (opus) — dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate, effort: xhigh (p1)
Clause-②: no — a refused save / gate fail-safe on an existing door; the dev re-declares yes for a new published code, export or settings key, or no (narrowing) if a value an admin could save before is now refused (then CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review)
Metadata-protocol: none
Responsibility: the auth settings apply (auth-plugin.ts, email_password_enabled) persists email/password off with no other sign-in method | no other door checks that a sign-in method remains | every user of the deployment, the administrator included, once they sign out
Thread-read: 6648434001
Premise: holds — at 5fa9375e email_password_enabled is applied through emailAndPasswordField(...) with no check of social providers or SSO; the same apply already has a refusable path (mfa_required) and a refusal-isolation test
Serial constraints cleared: #30201 (this seat) may edit auth-plugin.ts near mfa_required and the session-policy gate; disjoint hunks, each pulls main before PR and before landing. No other in-flight domain:server claim names plugin-auth (#29997 closed; sibling seats' cards read by title/surface)

Order: project file server-seat2/dispatch-30202.md, delivered as the card thread's opening message.

Claim correction (supersedes the Clause-② line and widens the file surface of claim 6648660209; every other line stands)
Clause-②: no (narrowing) — measured by the dev: the auth settings save door refuses, as a whole batch (400 SETTINGS_VALIDATION), a save that turns off the last sign-in method (email and password with no other method, or the last Google provider while email and password are off), a value an admin could save before. Recovery for a deployment already locked: the existing OS_AUTH_EMAIL_PASSWORD_ENABLED=true and a restart. Review owed: CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER over the non-prose diff (narrowing face).
File surface (added): scripts/engine-double-contract.pinned.json (one row the gate requires for the new module). Accepted by the seat, subject to the contract review.
