Summary

Two write handlers introduced in PR #21 have no authentication check — no CookieJar parameter and no get_session() call:

task_update_status — any unauthenticated request can update any task's status
person_link_delete — any unauthenticated request can delete any person-company link

All other write handlers in the codebase call get_session() and return 401/redirect on failure.

Fix

Add auth checks consistent with the rest of the handlers:

pub async fn task_update_status(
    State(state): State<Arc<AppState>>,
    jar: CookieJar,
    Path((context, id)): Path<(String, String)>,
    Json(payload): Json<TaskStatusUpdateRequest>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {
    let _session = match get_session(&jar, &state).await {
        Some(s) => s,
        None => return (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "Unauthorized").into_response(),
    };
    // ...
}

Implementation Spec — Issue #43: Add Auth Checks to `task_update_status` and `person_link_delete`

1. Context

File: crates/hero_biz_ui/src/web/handlers/mod.rs

Both handlers were introduced in PR #21 without the CookieJar extractor and get_session() guard that every other write handler in the file uses. Any unauthenticated HTTP client can currently mutate task status or delete person-company links.

2. Imports — No Changes Required

All required identifiers are already imported at the top of the file:

axum::http::StatusCode
axum_extra::extract::cookie::CookieJar
get_session is a module-level function defined in the same file

No new use statements are needed.

3. Exact Changes Required

Change 1 — `task_update_status`

Add jar: CookieJar, as the second parameter (after State, before Path) and insert the auth guard as the first statement in the body.

Before (signature):

pub async fn task_update_status(
    State(state): State<Arc<AppState>>,
    Path((context, id)): Path<(String, String)>,
    Json(payload): Json<TaskStatusUpdateRequest>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {

After:

pub async fn task_update_status(
    State(state): State<Arc<AppState>>,
    jar: CookieJar,
    Path((context, id)): Path<(String, String)>,
    Json(payload): Json<TaskStatusUpdateRequest>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {
    if get_session(&state, &jar).is_none() {
        return (
            StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED,
            Json(serde_json::json!({"error": "Unauthorized"})),
        )
            .into_response();
    }

Change 2 — `person_link_delete`

Add jar: CookieJar, as the second parameter (after State, before Path) and insert the auth guard as the first statement in the body.

Before (signature):

pub async fn person_link_delete(
    State(state): State<Arc<AppState>>,
    Path((context, person_id, link_sid)): Path<(String, String, String)>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {

After:

pub async fn person_link_delete(
    State(state): State<Arc<AppState>>,
    jar: CookieJar,
    Path((context, person_id, link_sid)): Path<(String, String, String)>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {
    if get_session(&state, &jar).is_none() {
        return (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "Unauthorized").into_response();
    }

4. Implementation Plan

Step 1: Fix task_update_status — add jar: CookieJar to signature, insert JSON 401 guard at top of body
Step 2: Fix person_link_delete — add jar: CookieJar to signature, insert plain-text 401 guard at top of body
Step 3: Run cargo build -p hero_biz_ui to verify compilation

5. Acceptance Criteria

task_update_status has jar: CookieJar as its second extractor parameter
task_update_status returns (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, Json({"error": "Unauthorized"})) when no valid session cookie is present
person_link_delete has jar: CookieJar as its second extractor parameter
person_link_delete returns (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "Unauthorized") when no valid session cookie is present
Both handlers' existing logic is completely unchanged
cargo build -p hero_biz_ui completes without errors

Implementation Summary

Both handlers have been patched in crates/hero_biz_ui/src/web/handlers/mod.rs.

Changes made

task_update_status

Added jar: CookieJar as the second extractor parameter (after State, before Path)
Inserted auth guard at the top of the function body: returns (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, Json({"error": "Unauthorized"})) when no valid session cookie is present
All existing status-matching and store logic is unchanged

person_link_delete

Added jar: CookieJar as the second extractor parameter (after State, before Path)
Inserted auth guard at the top of the function body: returns (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "Unauthorized") when no valid session cookie is present
All existing store call and redirect logic is unchanged

Build note

cargo build -p hero_biz_ui fails with 122 pre-existing errors unrelated to these changes (axum version conflict and a logging module type mismatch that were present before this patch). The auth guard additions are syntactically correct and consistent with the established pattern used by all other write handlers in the file.

Acceptance criteria

task_update_status has jar: CookieJar as its second extractor parameter
task_update_status returns HTTP 401 JSON when no valid session cookie is present
person_link_delete has jar: CookieJar as its second extractor parameter
person_link_delete returns HTTP 401 plain text when no valid session cookie is present
Both handlers' existing logic is completely unchanged
No new use statements added (all required types were already imported)

Fixed in commit 66bf494 on branch development_casper.

Added session authentication guards to both task_update_status and person_link_delete handlers — requests without a valid session now return 401 before any business logic runs.
