A bundled, zero-infrastructure 'just put a password on my dashboard'
provider that uses the supports_password extension point. No external IDP,
no database: sessions are stateless HMAC-signed tokens the provider mints
and verifies itself, and passwords are hashed with stdlib scrypt (no
third-party dependency — deliberately avoids bcrypt to keep the dep
surface unchanged).
- plugins/dashboard_auth/basic: BasicAuthProvider (scrypt verify with a
constant-time dummy-hash path for unknown users so the endpoint is not
a username-timing oracle; access/refresh tokens carry a 'kind' claim
that verify/refresh enforce; cross-secret tokens are rejected). The
register() entry point mirrors the Nous plugin's config/env precedence
(env wins; empty treated as unset) and LAST_SKIP_REASON channel.
- config.py: document the canonical dashboard.basic_auth.* surface
(username / password_hash / password / secret / session_ttl_seconds).
Activates only when username + (password or password_hash) are set, so
OAuth users and loopback/--insecure operators are unaffected. Without an
explicit secret a random per-process key is generated (logged): fine for a
single process, but sessions then don't survive restart or span workers.
