Charis 0abfbdd3d7 fix(studio): preserve session and redirect to MFA when AAL elevation is needed (#47145)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Bug fix.

## What is the current behavior?

`withAuth` calls `signOut()` and redirects to `/sign-in` whenever the
current AAL is below the required level. For IdP-initiated SSO logins —
where the user lands directly on `/dashboard` rather than passing
through `/sign-in-mfa` — this destroys the valid AAL1 session that was
just established. Subsequent mgmt-api requests then return 401
Unauthorized, and the user is dumped on `/sign-in` with no way to
recover except restarting the SSO flow (which loops them back to the
same state).

The platform already returns an actionable `403 Insufficient AAL: MFA
required` on the first mgmt-api request, but the dashboard does not
capture it.

## What is the new behavior?

`withAuth` now distinguishes between "not logged in" and "needs AAL
elevation":

- **Logged in but AAL1** → `router.push('/sign-in-mfa?returnTo=…')`,
session preserved. The existing `/sign-in-mfa` page picks up the
session, renders the MFA form, and bounces the user to `returnTo` after
a successful challenge.
- **Not logged in** → unchanged: `signOut()` then redirect to
`/sign-in?returnTo=…`.
- `/sign-in-mfa` is also added to the "already there, do nothing" guard
so the user isn't re-redirected mid-challenge.

This relies on the gotrue client's local AAL state via
`useAuthenticatorAssuranceLevelQuery`, which fires before any mgmt-api
request, so no fetcher-level error parsing is needed.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved multi-factor authentication (MFA) elevation flow to preserve
user sessions instead of forcing sign-out and requiring users to restart
sign-in.
  * Fixed unnecessary redirects when users are already on sign-in pages.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
