Fix Google OAuth redirect to use authorization code flow with PKCE

[Copilot]

Google OAuth was redirecting to localhost:3000 with access tokens in URL hash fragments instead of properly handling the OAuth flow. This exposed tokens client-side and broke production deployments.

Changes

New OAuth callback handler (src/app/auth/callback/route.ts)

• Server-side authorization code exchange
• PKCE flow implementation
• Error handling with specific codes (missing_env_vars, code_exchange_failed)

Updated sign-in flow (src/components/signup.tsx)

- redirectTo: `${window.location.origin}/dashboard`
+ redirectTo: `${window.location.origin}/auth/callback`

Enhanced Supabase client (src/lib/supabaseclient.ts)

• Configured PKCE flow, auto-refresh, and session persistence
• Enables detectSessionInUrl for seamless auth state management

Documentation

• Supabase redirect URL setup instructions in README
• Configuration notes in .env.example

Result

OAuth flow now uses authorization code exchange instead of implicit flow. Tokens are handled server-side and never exposed in URLs. Works in both development and production environments.

Setup required: Add https://your-domain.com/auth/callback to Supabase redirect URLs in Dashboard → Authentication → URL Configuration.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• fonts.googleapis.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/asHelp/asHelp/node_modules/next/dist/compiled/jest-worker/processChild.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

<issue_title>Google Sign-In Redirects to localhost with Access Token in URL</issue_title>
<issue_description>Description:

When trying to sign in using Google authentication, the flow completes on the Google side, but instead of redirecting correctly, it sends the user to a URL like http://localhost:3000/#access_token=... with the token in the hash fragment.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the app.
2. Click Sign in with Google.
3. Select a Google account and click Continue.
4. The page redirects to:
   http://localhost:3000/#access_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6InVPTDl5aWN0NWU3bHV5UDkiLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1QifQ.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.o4DFOecwpW5MhmSzXmipYgYtO9WPyz9-Zdw93BGru2Y&expires_at=1760392479&expires_in=3600&provider_token=ya29.a0AQQ_BDQPOSY8rLNqLq1aDNC7FRe_VKzEdsnrVHsDYZUm7gp3cjw0D-6aUfrc1y5EeMRZikfruSv06KiYOD4rF2U348FusO43Jnr0Q2Te6cFOSnvKkosooDf13MpddglHG_vfV_dqkBkihnDvBkVh-zRRaOKsid27j9VzIwCDnrSWDIOsK7SXGrYxZ0F8sGc83xQCNhMaCgYKAVsSARMSFQHGX2MiTE99LW6GqLyjQ0w0PhBp2w0206&refresh_token=yhnwl6apo7jy&token_type=bearer

Expected Behavior:

• The user should be redirected to the app’s production/dashboard page.
• Access token should be handled securely (not exposed in URL fragment).

Actual Behavior:

• Redirect goes to localhost:3000 (likely a development URL).
• Access token appears in the URL fragment, which could be a security risk.
