Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A trusted client can complete authorization without showing consent even when it explicitly requests a consent prompt. Correct that behavior before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Trusted clients would be able to complete authorization without a consent prompt. The new flow needs review of request intent, replay, and session effects. The submitted code also has a mismatch that prevents the service from building, so the proposed behavior cannot be deployed as written. Retained concerns

persistence limited to explicit user approval, while preserving the
trusted-client skip-consent response.
- Line 331: Update the prompt check in the authorization flow before the
trusted-client shortcut to detect the login token within a space-delimited
prompt. Use the parsed prompt tokens from
`controller.oidc.GetPrompt(authorizeReq.Prompt)` so requests such as `login
consent` do not reach the shortcut with consent skipped.
- Line 332: Update skipConsent to recognize prompt=consent as well as
prompt=login before applying the trusted-client shortcut, so requests requiring
consent do not return SkipConsent: true when no consent is stored.

- Line 345: Update the server-side skip-consent check in AuthorizePage, before
controller.completeAuthorization completes a trusted-client request, to reject
completion when the authenticated session age exceeds the request’s max_age,
even if the raw prompt omits login. Preserve the existing completion path when
max_age has not been exceeded.

completeAuthorization to atomically claim or consume the OIDCTicket before
calling CreateCode. Ensure concurrent requests cannot both issue codes or
overwrite the completed-ticket cache entry; only the request that successfully
claims the ticket should proceed.

This PR ended up being quite a bit larger than initially planned, mainly because I incorporated the additional changes and edge cases pointed out by CodeRabbit during the reviews. The original change was relatively small, but addressing the review feedback required some restructuring, additional safeguards, and tests. That’s why the diff now looks more extensive than the initial scope might suggest. @coderabbitai review |

@tilwegener I am not quite sure if something like this should be merged. Tinyauth (since v5.2.0) skips the consent screen when a) you have authorized that app before b) the scopes are unchanged. So the end user sees the consent screen once. Is it worth sacrificing the security that the consent screen offers (notifies you of the scopes) so we can avoid clicking the authorize button once? |
I understand the concern. My main reason for proposing this is that other applications offer a similar concept for explicitly trusted clients. For example, Pocket ID introduced support for trusted OIDC clients in version 2.10.0, allowing the consent screen to be skipped for those clients. While using Tinyauth, I also noticed that quite a few users consider the additional confirmation unnecessary, especially in internal environments where both Tinyauth and the connected applications are operated and controlled by the same administrator. For such trusted environments, I think this is a reasonable trade-off. The important part is that the feature is entirely opt-in and defaults to false. So nothing changes for existing installations or clients by default. Administrators have to explicitly mark a client as trusted and can therefore decide for themselves whether skipping the consent screen is appropriate for their environment. |

Summary
This reduces unnecessary confirmation prompts in trusted, self-hosted environments where the administrator controls both Tinyauth and the OIDC client.
