Token Transparency

Ethstar uses two separate OAuth flows with different permission scopes:

Flow	Type	Scope	Stored?	Purpose
Sign in	GitHub App	Starring (read-only)	localStorage	Check which repos you've already starred
Star All	Classic OAuth	public_repo	Never	Star repos on your behalf, then discard

Ephemeral star token lifecycle

When you click "Star All", a one-time popup OAuth flow obtains a token that is used immediately and discarded. Here is the exact code path — every step links to the source so you can verify:

1. Popup opens — use-star-oauth.ts calls window.open("/api/auth/star")
2. Server redirects to GitHub — api/auth/star/index.go generates a CSRF state cookie and redirects to GitHub's OAuth page with scope=public_repo
3. You authorize — GitHub shows what permissions are requested (starring public repos)
4. GitHub redirects back — api/auth/star-callback/index.go exchanges the authorization code for an access token via pkg/auth/oauth.go, then renders an HTML page that posts the token to the opener window
5. Token delivered via postMessage — pkg/auth/starhtml.go sends {type: "ethstar-star-token", access_token} to the parent window; use-star-oauth.ts validates the origin and message type
6. Token used to star repos — use-stars.ts passes the token to github.ts, which calls PUT /user/starred/{owner}/{repo} on GitHub's API for each unstarred repo
7. Token discarded — the token is a local JavaScript variable; once starAll() returns, it falls out of scope and is garbage collected. It is never stored in localStorage, sent to any backend, or logged

What the token is NOT used for

• Not stored — not written to localStorage, cookies, or any persistent storage
• Not sent to our servers — all starring API calls go directly from your browser to api.github.com
• Not logged — no console.log, no analytics, no telemetry
• Not refreshable — if the token expires mid-operation, the flow fails gracefully (no refresh attempt for ephemeral tokens)

The UI explicitly confirms this: after starring completes, the star-modal.tsx dialog displays "Your GitHub token has been discarded."
