47-47: The addition of thejoselibrary at version5.4.1is appropriate for handling JWT as seen in theAuthProvider.tsx.
17-17: The"files"array remains unchanged, ensuring consistent package distribution.packages/auth-provider/src/components/AuthProvider/AuthProvider.tsx (1)
3-3: The import ofjoseis essential for the JWT handling introduced in this update.

The login function now correctly uses jose.decodeJwt to set user data. Consider enhancing error handling to provide more informative feedback on decoding failures.
- return false;
+ return { success: false, error: _error.message };Committable suggestion was skipped due to low confidence.

I explicitly do not want to provide error messages so that authentication tempering is harder: we do not want to disclose what the authentication issue is... just log the user out with a generic "session timeout".

@aversini, I understand your approach to enhance security by not providing specific error messages during authentication processes. It's a prudent measure to prevent potential tampering by obscuring the details of authentication failures. I'll keep this in mind for future reviews related to authentication mechanisms. Thank you for clarifying your security strategy!

Learning: aversini prefers not to disclose specific error messages during authentication processes to avoid aiding potential tampering. Instead, a generic "session timeout" message is used to obscure the details of authentication failures.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of specific code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions.

Tip
Codebase Verification
The current implementation does not explicitly validate the JWT before extracting _id. To follow security best practices, ensure to validate the JWT token to confirm its authenticity and integrity before using any data from it.
- Add JWT validation steps using
joseor another trusted library before extracting_id.
Analysis chain
The refactored useEffect uses jose.decodeJwt to handle idToken changes effectively. Ensure that _id extraction follows security best practices.
Also applies to: 62-62

12-12: Increase in bundle size limit appears justified due to the new dependency. Please ensure this is aligned with the actual size ofdist/index.jspost-build.
