Removed the hardcoded default fallback for `AUTH_SECRET` in `src/auth.ts` and `src/middleware.ts`. This ensures a secure fail-closed pattern where missing environment variables cause authentication logic to intentionally crash or deny access, rather than silently granting sessions signed with a predictable key.

π¨ Severity: CRITICAL
π‘ Vulnerability: NextAuth used a hardcoded fallback secret (
stealth_relay_nextauth_secret_key_edge_v1_2026) whenAUTH_SECRETwas missing.π― Impact: This flaw undermines secure deployment architectures, as it implicitly grants valid session tokens using a predictable key if environment variables fail to load.
π§ Fix: Removed the fallback entirely. Cast
getEnv("AUTH_SECRET") as stringdirectly to enforce "fail closed" behavior where missing secrets explicitly cause NextAuth to crash or deny access rather than falling back to an insecure state.β Verification: Ran
pnpm testandnpx playwright test. Playwright tests run successfully when the environment variable is explicitly set, confirming our fix properly enforces NextAuth to fail without the secret.
