Add our own Patreon integration on API v2

[Drefvelin]

Why

Patreon retires API v1 on 7 October 2026. The third-party PatreonPlugin that grants supporter ranks in game uses v1 and is unmaintained, so ranks stop syncing on that date. It also has two long-standing problems: it never counts gifted memberships, and it links by an email typed into a game command with no verification. Discord roles come from Patreon's own bot, which only applies them after a member leaves and rejoins.

This makes ProvinceSystem the one place that talks to Patreon and decides each supporter's tier. The Discord bot (Drefvelin/tfmc_bot#19) and TFMCWeb (TF-Minecraft/TFMCWeb#29) apply what it decides.

What it does

Sync. A background task polls the campaign's members from Patreon API v2 every 10 minutes, and a webhook refreshes single members within about a minute. Creator tokens are refreshed automatically and persisted, replacing the old manual renewal.

Entitlement. A member's tier is the highest mapped tier Patreon lists in currently_entitled_tiers. Paid, gifted and free-trial memberships all count. A declined payment keeps the last tier for a 7-day grace period.

Linking. POST /patreon/link/start returns a Patreon consent link bound to a Discord id or player; the callback reads only the patron's Patreon user id and discards their token. Patrons who connected Discord on Patreon are linked automatically. A link holds a Discord id, a Minecraft UUID, or both, and the existing discord_links table fills in the missing half.

Outboxes. Role changes for the bot and rank changes for the plugin, each acknowledged by id, plus a roster for reconcile. The backend records what it has applied and only ever asks for removal of tiers it granted.

Safety.

• A failed or partial sync changes nothing; three failures in a row raise an alert.
• A sync that would lower or remove more than a quarter of granted supporters is held until staff release it.
• PATREON_APPLY=0 is a shadow mode that computes and logs but enqueues nothing.
• A patron who disconnects is not re-linked automatically.

Website. A Supporter panel on /profile (connect, status, disconnect) and a /patreon/linked result page that renders only fixed copy chosen by a status code.

Staff tools. Lookup, manual link and unlink, resync, unlinked supporters, health, brake release, and a one-off import of the old plugin's links.

Rollout

Everything is behind PATREON_ENABLED=1; with it unset the routes return 503 and no task starts. PATREON_SUPPRESS_DMS=1 is for the one-time migration, so existing supporters having their role re-asserted are not all messaged.

New public routes are the OAuth callback and the webhook (HMAC-verified). All others need the staff key, plugin key, or a profile session. Emails are returned only by staff lookup, unlinked and import, and are never logged.

Testing

• 134 new backend tests; HTTP to Patreon is stubbed throughout, including a fixture built from a real v2 response with personal data replaced.
• Full backend suite: 1411 passed. The one failure, test_deletion_survives_more_than_999_present_factions, fails on main too and is unrelated.
• Frontend: npm test and tsc --noEmit pass.
• A shadow run against a copy of the production database and the live API linked 59 of 62 entitled supporters, kept all 24 existing ranks unchanged, and did not trip the brake.

npm run lint could not be run: next lint is not available in this Next.js version.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ddd24

Account linking has meaningful identity-binding and one-time confirmation controls. However, the new integration becomes a shared authority for supporter benefits, and credential handling, downstream application, and deployment recovery remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new authority spans supporter link and benefit state for linked Discord users and Minecraft players. Profile callers are restricted to their session UUID, while staff and plugin credentials can select subjects and access their respective delivery channels. Compromise of those trusted credentials could therefore affect multiple supporters. Actual bot/plugin privileges and deployment exposure remain unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Confirmation is capability-authorized rather than session-authorized. The random capability is hashed in storage, expires, and is consumed under a serialized SQLite transaction. The frontend obtains it from the URL fragment, removes that fragment from browser history, displays the persisted target, and requires an explicit confirm action. Confirmation input cannot substitute another subject.
• observed — The webhook verifies a Patreon HMAC before recording a member ID and scheduling refresh. It refreshes membership through the provider client rather than applying entitlements directly from the webhook body. Provider-client campaign and completeness validation was not fully inspected.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The outbox preserves dispatched work, prevents replacement while a subject has an outstanding dispatched change, and updates applied ownership transactionally on acknowledgement. Acknowledgements require the fixed target, a dispatched noncancelled row, and handle repetition without reapplying the state update. Fetch failures retain stored entitlements, while successful fetches store and recompute within one transaction.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Represent a persisted confirmation awaiting membership refresh as an explicit resumable outcome, rather than a generic error, so users can distinguish failed authorization from an active binding whose benefits are still pending.

- Around line 91-95: Update unlinkPatreon to send an empty JSON body with the
unlink POST request, including the application/json Content-Type, so it
satisfies the backend’s required SubjectBody parameter. Follow the existing
request pattern used by startPatreonLink.
