 # @strivacity/sdk-next
 
-A Next.js library that integrates Strivacity's policy-driven authentication journeys into your application using the OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow. Supports `redirect`, `popup`, `native`, and `embedded` modes.
+Next.js SDK for [Strivacity](https://www.strivacity.com) - adds PKCE-protected OIDC authentication to your Next.js application. Ships with a client SDK and a backend-for-frontend ([BFF](../../README.md#bff)) Server SDK that runs entirely inside your Next.js app via Route Handlers or API Routes - no separate backend required.
+
+Built on top of [@strivacity/sdk-core](../sdk-core) - see the [core SDK documentation](../sdk-core/README.md) for detailed information about authentication flows, configuration options, and advanced features.

-## Overview
+## Prerequisites
 
-This SDK allows you to integrate Strivacity's policy-driven journeys into your Next.js application. It wraps the `@strivacity/sdk-core` library as a React context provider and exposes a `useStrivacity` hook that provides authentication state and methods throughout your component tree. The SDK uses the OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow to authenticate with Strivacity. For detailed configuration options, available modes, and advanced usage refer to the [`@strivacity/sdk-core` documentation](https://github.com/Strivacity/sdk-js/blob/main/packages/sdk-core/README.md).
+- Next.js 15+ (App Router or Pages Router)
+- React 18+
+- A Strivacity tenant with an application configured (issuer URL, client ID, redirect URI)
 
-## Demo Application
+---
 
-- [Example app](https://github.com/Strivacity/sdk-js/tree/main/apps/next)
-- [Headless example app](https://github.com/Strivacity/sdk-js/tree/main/apps/next-headless)
+## Installation
 
-## Requirements
+```bash
+npm install @strivacity/sdk-next
+```
 
-- Next.js: 14+
+---
 
-## Install
+## Choosing a mode
 
-```bash
-npm install @strivacity/sdk-next
+The SDK supports **four authentication modes**:
+
+| Mode       | Login UI                                 | Best for                                     |
+| ---------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `redirect` | Strivacity hosted page                   | Standard web apps                            |
+| `popup`    | Strivacity hosted page in a popup        | SPAs that must stay on the current page      |
+| `embedded` | Strivacity web components in your page   | Branded login inside your own layout         |
+| `native`   | Your own components driven by flow state | Full UI control, step-by-step form rendering |
+
+> All modes use the same PKCE-protected OIDC flow under the hood. The `mode` option only controls where the login UI lives and how the flow state is consumed.
+
+---
+
+## Client-managed vs. server-managed sessions
+
+The SDK supports two session strategies, selectable per app via a single option:
+
+| Strategy | Tokens live in | Best for |
+| -------- | --------------- | -------- |
+| **Client-managed** | Browser storage (`localStorage` by default) | Simple SPAs that don't need to hide tokens from the browser |
+| **Server-managed (BFF)** | Server-side storage (encrypted http-only cookies by default) via the [Server SDK](#server-sdk) | Apps that need to keep tokens inaccessible to client-side JavaScript, sign requests server-side, or add custom server-side validation |
+
+Set `serverSessionUri` on the shared SDK options to switch the client SDK into server-managed mode - login requests are then routed through your own server endpoint instead of the SDK talking to the IDP directly, and tokens are never read from or written to client-side storage. See [Server-side session management](../sdk-core/README.md#server-side-session-management) in the core SDK docs for how this works under the hood. Both strategies are shown side by side below.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+### 1. Configure shared options
+
+Both the client and Server SDK read from the same configuration - keep it in one file and import it from both sides:
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/options.ts
+import type { SDKInitConfig } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export const sdkOptions: SDKInitConfig = {
+	mode: 'redirect', // authentication mode
+	issuer: 'https://<YOUR_TENANT_DOMAIN>', // OIDC provider URL
+	clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID', // OAuth2 client ID
+	redirectUri: 'https://your-app.example.com/callback', // callback URL after authentication
+	scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'email'], // requested user permissions/data
+
+	// Omit this line entirely for client-managed sessions
+	serverSessionUri: '/auth/login',
+};
+```
+
+### 2. Set up the Server SDK
+
+Only needed for server-managed sessions - skip this step (and step 3's catch-all route) if you're using client-managed sessions.
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/server.ts
+import { createServerSDK } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+import { sdkOptions } from './options';
+
+export const sdk = createServerSDK({
+	...sdkOptions,
+	secret: process.env.SECRET, // http-only cookie encryption key (random 32+ characters)
+	postLoginRedirectUri: '/profile',
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Mount the catch-all route
+
+A single Route Handler wires up every auth route automatically - `sdk.handler` inspects the request path and dispatches to the matching internal handler:
+
+```ts
+// app/auth/[...strivacity]/route.ts
+import { sdk } from '../../../lib/auth/server';
+
+export const GET = sdk.handler;
+export const POST = sdk.handler;
+export const PUT = sdk.handler;
+export const PATCH = sdk.handler;
+export const DELETE = sdk.handler;
 ```

+| `GET`  | `/auth/revoke`               | Revokes tokens and clears the session                        | `204 No Content`                             |
+| `GET`  | `/auth/logout`               | Ends the session and redirects to the IDP logout page         | `302` redirect to IDP logout                 |
+| `GET`  | `/auth/entry`                | Handles external flow entry (e.g., password reset link) - embedded/native modes only | JSON with session data |
+| `POST` | `/auth/backchannel-logout`   | Processes back-channel logout requests from the IDP           | `204 No Content`                             |
 
-### Initialization
+> The `/auth` prefix and route names come from `authUrlPrefix` - see [Server configuration reference](#server-configuration-reference).
 
-Wrap your application with `StyAuthProvider` in your root layout. Use the `'use client'` directive since the provider uses React context:
+### 4. Wrap your app with the client provider
 
 ```tsx
-// app/providers.tsx
+// lib/auth/provider.tsx
 'use client';
 
-import { StyAuthProvider, type SDKOptions } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
-
-const options: SDKOptions = {
-	mode: 'redirect', // or 'popup', 'native', 'embedded'
-	issuer: 'https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>',
-	scopes: ['openid', 'profile'],
-	clientId: '<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>',
-	redirectUri: '<YOUR_REDIRECT_URI>',
-};
+import type { ReactNode } from 'react';
+import type { SessionData } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import { StyAuthProvider } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import { sdkOptions } from './options';
 
-export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
-	return <StyAuthProvider options={options}>{children}</StyAuthProvider>;
+export function AuthProvider({ session, children }: { session?: SessionData | null; children: ReactNode }) {
+	return (
+		<StyAuthProvider options={{ ...sdkOptions }} session={session}>
+			{children}
+		</StyAuthProvider>
+	);
 }
 ```
 
+For client-managed sessions, omit the `session` prop - the client SDK loads and manages the session itself:
+
 ```tsx
 // app/layout.tsx
-import { Providers } from './providers';
+import type { ReactNode } from 'react';
+import { AuthProvider } from '../lib/auth/provider';
 
-export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
+export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
 	return (
-		<html>
+		<html lang="en-US">
 			<body>
-				<Providers>{children}</Providers>
+				<AuthProvider>{children}</AuthProvider>
 			</body>
 		</html>
 	);
 }
 ```
 
-Use the `useStrivacity` hook in any client component to access authentication state:
+For server-managed sessions, fetch the session once in your root layout (a Server Component) via the Server SDK's `getSession()` and pass it down:
 
 ```tsx
-'use client';
+// app/layout.tsx
+import type { ReactNode } from 'react';
+import { AuthProvider } from '../lib/auth/provider';
+import { sdk } from '../lib/auth/server';
 
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic';
 
-export default function MyComponent() {
-	const { loading, isAuthenticated, idTokenClaims } = useStrivacity();
+export default async function RootLayout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+	const session = await sdk.getSession();
+
+	return (
+		<html lang="en-US">
+			<body>
+				<AuthProvider session={session}>{children}</AuthProvider>
+			</body>
+		</html>
+	);
 }
 ```
 
-### Redirect / Popup mode
+---
+
+## Client SDK
+
+The client SDK is [@strivacity/sdk-react](../sdk-react) re-exported under `@strivacity/sdk-next/client` - every hook, component, and type documented in the [React SDK README](../sdk-react/README.md) works exactly the same way here, just imported from `@strivacity/sdk-next/client` instead of `@strivacity/sdk-react`. Mark components that use hooks with `'use client'`; pages/layouts that only compose client components can remain Server Components (as shown for `app/layout.tsx` in [Quick start](#quick-start)).
+
+### Authentication modes
+
+#### redirect mode
+
+> For details on how this mode works, see the [hosted journey documentation](https://docs.strivacity.com/reference/hosted-journey).
 
-In `redirect` mode the user is taken to the identity provider in the same window; in `popup` mode authentication happens in a popup. Both are initiated the same way from code.
+The current browser tab navigates to the Strivacity-hosted login page and back to the configured `redirectUri` after authentication.
 
-#### Login page example
+##### Login
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this to start the login flow. It redirects the user to the Strivacity login page in the current browser tab, where they authenticate.
 
 ```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
 import { useEffect } from 'react';
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { RedirectFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Login() {
-	const { login } = useStrivacity();
+export default function LoginPage() {
+	const { loading, login } = useStrivacity<RedirectFlow>();
 
 	useEffect(() => {
-		login();
-	}, []);
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		void login({
+			// Optional parameters
+			loginHint: 'user@example.com', // identifier or JWT-encoded data to hint the login flow
+			acrValues: ['urn:strivacity:loa:2'], // request specific authentication context
+			audiences: ['https://api.example.com'], // target resources for the access token
+		});
+	}, [loading, login]);
 
 	return (
 		<section>
-			<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
+			<h1>Redirecting to login...</h1>
 		</section>
 	);
 }
 ```
 
-#### Callback page example
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+Skip the client SDK entirely and redirect straight to `/auth/login` - the Server SDK builds the authorization request and redirects to the IDP:
+
+```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
+
+export default function LoginPage() {
+	redirect('/auth/login');
+}
+```
+
+##### Handle the callback
 
-The callback page handles the response from the identity provider. It calls `handleCallback()` and redirects to `/profile` on success:
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this on your redirect URI page after the IDP sends the user back. It parses the query parameters from the callback URL, verifies the state matches what was stored during login (CSRF protection), exchanges the authorization code for tokens using PKCE, validates the ID token, and stores the session in the [configured storage](../sdk-core/README.md#storages).
 
 ```tsx
+// app/callback/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
 import { useEffect } from 'react';
 import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Callback() {
+export default function CallbackPage() {
+	const { loading, handleCallback } = useStrivacity();
 	const router = useRouter();
-	const { handleCallback } = useStrivacity();
+	const searchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
 
 	useEffect(() => {
-		(async () => {
-			try {
-				await handleCallback();
-				router.push('/profile');
-			} catch (error) {
-				console.error('Error during callback handling:', error);
-			}
-		})();
-	}, []);
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		if (searchParams.get('error')) {
+			router.replace(`/error?${searchParams.toString()}`);
+			return;
+		}
+
+		handleCallback()
+			.then(() => router.push('/profile'))
+			.catch((error) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`));

-#### Logout page example
+##### Registration
 
-The `postLogoutRedirectUri` parameter is optional and specifies where users are redirected after logout. This URI must be configured in the Admin Console as an allowed post-logout redirect URI.
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this to start the registration flow. It works the same way as `login()` but opens the registration form instead.
 
 ```tsx
+// app/register/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
 import { useEffect } from 'react';
-import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { RedirectFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Logout() {
-	const router = useRouter();
-	const { isAuthenticated, logout } = useStrivacity();
+export default function RegisterPage() {
+	const { loading, register } = useStrivacity<RedirectFlow>();
 
 	useEffect(() => {
-		(async () => {
-			if (isAuthenticated) {
-				await logout({ postLogoutRedirectUri: location.origin });
-			} else {
-				router.push('/');
-			}
-		})();
-	}, []);
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		void register({
+			loginHint: 'user@example.com',
+		});
+	}, [loading, register]);
 
 	return (
 		<section>
-			<h1>Logging out...</h1>
+			<h1>Redirecting to registration...</h1>
 		</section>
 	);
 }
 ```
 
-#### Component example
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+Skip the client SDK entirely and redirect straight to `/auth/register` - the Server SDK builds the registration request and redirects to the IDP:
+
+```tsx
+// app/register/page.tsx
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
+
+export default function RegisterPage() {
+	redirect('/auth/register');
+}
+```
+
+##### Logout
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this to clear the session and redirect to the Strivacity end-session endpoint. After that the user is redirected back to your app at `postLogoutRedirectUri`.
 
 ```tsx
+// app/logout/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Nav() {
-	const { isAuthenticated, idTokenClaims, login, logout } = useStrivacity();
-	const name = `${idTokenClaims?.given_name} ${idTokenClaims?.family_name}`;
+export default function LogoutPage() {
+	const { loading, logout } = useStrivacity();
 
-	return isAuthenticated ? (
-		<div>
-			<div>Welcome, {name}!</div>
-			<button onClick={() => logout()}>Logout</button>
-		</div>
-	) : (
-		<div>
-			<div>Not logged in</div>
-			<button onClick={() => login()}>Log in</button>
-		</div>
-	);
+	useEffect(() => {
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		void logout();
+	}, [loading, logout]);
+
+	return null;
 }
 ```
 
-### Native mode
+**Server-managed sessions**:
 
-In `native` mode the `StyLoginRenderer` component renders the authentication UI inline using your custom widget components. You can define custom components for each input type; see [Example widgets](https://github.com/Strivacity/sdk-js/tree/main/apps/next/src/components/widgets).
+With `serverSessionUri` configured, redirect to `/auth/logout` instead - the Server SDK clears the session and redirects to the IDP end-session endpoint:
 
-The example widgets use SCSS for styling and Luxon for date handling:
+```tsx
+// app/logout/page.tsx
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
 
-```bash
-npm install sass luxon
-npm install --save-dev @types/luxon
-```
-
-```tsx
-import CheckboxWidget from './checkbox.widget';
-import DateWidget from './date.widget';
-import InputWidget from './input.widget';
-import LayoutWidget from './layout.widget';
-import MultiSelectWidget from './multiselect.widget';
-import PasscodeWidget from './passcode.widget';
-import LoadingWidget from './loading.widget';
-import PasswordWidget from './password.widget';
-import PhoneWidget from './phone.widget';
-import SelectWidget from './select.widget';
-import StaticWidget from './static.widget';
-import SubmitWidget from './submit.widget';
-
-export const widgets = {
-	checkbox: CheckboxWidget,
-	date: DateWidget,
-	input: InputWidget,
-	layout: LayoutWidget,
-	loading: LoadingWidget,
-	passcode: PasscodeWidget,
-	password: PasswordWidget,
-	phone: PhoneWidget,
-	select: SelectWidget,
-	multiSelect: MultiSelectWidget,
-	static: StaticWidget,
-	submit: SubmitWidget,
-};
+export default function LogoutPage() {
+	redirect('/auth/logout');
+}
 ```
 
-#### Login page example
+##### Token management
 
-The login page extracts `session_id` and optionally `language` from the URL on load, cleans up the URL, and passes them to the renderer. When a `session_id` is present the renderer calls `startSession(sessionId)` to resume the existing flow instead of starting a new one. When a `language` parameter is present it is passed to the renderer which uses it for the authentication UI and calls `onLanguageChange` with the resolved language.
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call these methods to manage the session and access token client-side.
 
 ```tsx
 'use client';
 
-import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
-import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
-import { StyLoginRenderer, FallbackError, type LoginFlowState } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
-import { widgets } from '@/components/widgets';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Login() {
-	const router = useRouter();
-	const [sessionId, setSessionId] = useState<string | null>(null);
-	const [language, setLanguage] = useState<string | null>(null);
+export function TokenPanel() {
+	const { loading, idTokenClaims, accessToken, refreshToken, refresh, revoke } = useStrivacity();
 
-	useEffect(() => {
-		if (window.location.search !== '') {
-			const url = new URL(window.location.href);
-			setSessionId(url.searchParams.get('session_id'));
+	async function onRefresh() {
+		// Refresh the access token using the refresh token
+		await refresh();
+	}
 
-			if (url.searchParams.has('language')) {
-				setLanguage(url.searchParams.get('language'));
-			}
+	async function onRevoke() {
+		// Revoke all tokens at the authorization server and clear the local session
+		await revoke();
+	}
 
-			url.search = '';
-			window.history.replaceState({}, '', url.toString());
-		}
-	}, []);
+	if (loading) {
+		return null;
+	}
+
+	// idTokenClaims, accessToken, and refreshToken are plain values from context -
+	// they update automatically whenever the SDK's session changes
+	return (
+		<div>

-#### Callback page example
+---
+
+#### popup mode
+
+> For details on how this mode works, see the [hosted journey documentation](https://docs.strivacity.com/reference/hosted-journey).
+
+The Strivacity login page opens in a separate window or tab. After authentication the opened window or tab closes itself and the parent page receives the session - no full-page navigation required.
+
+##### Login
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this to start the login flow. It opens a popup window by default with the Strivacity login page, where the user authenticates. After that the popup closes itself and the session is stored in the [configured storage](../sdk-core/README.md#storages).
 
-When a `session_id` is present in the URL the native flow is resumed by forwarding it to the login page. Otherwise the standard `handleCallback()` path is used:
+By default a centered popup window opens. Pass `popupWindowTarget` to change where the window opens, and `popupWindowFeatures` to control its size and position:
 
 ```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
-import { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
 import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { PopupFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Callback() {
+export default function LoginPage() {
+	const { loading, login } = useStrivacity<PopupFlow>();
 	const router = useRouter();
-	const { handleCallback } = useStrivacity();
+	const startedRef = useRef(false);
 
 	useEffect(() => {
-		(async () => {
-			const url = new URL(location.href);
-			const sessionId = url.searchParams.get('session_id');
-
-			if (sessionId) {
-				router.push(`/login?session_id=${sessionId}`);
-			} else {
-				try {
-					await handleCallback();
-					router.push('/profile');
-				} catch (error) {
-					console.error('Error during callback handling:', error);
-				}
-			}
-		})();
-	}, []);
+		if (loading || startedRef.current) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		// Prevent multiple calls (React StrictMode)
+		startedRef.current = true;
+
+		login({
+			// Optional parameters
+			loginHint: 'user@example.com', // identifier or JWT-encoded data to hint the login flow
+			acrValues: ['urn:strivacity:loa:2'], // request specific authentication context
+			audiences: ['https://api.example.com'], // target resources for the access token
+			popupWindowTarget: '_blank', // any valid browsing context name
+			popupWindowFeatures: {
+				width: 500,
+				height: 700,
+				left: 100,
+				top: 100,
+				toolbar: false,
+				location: false,
+				resizable: true,
+				scrollbars: true,
+			},
+		})
+			.then(() => router.push('/profile'))
+			.catch((error) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`));
+	}, [loading, login, router]);
 
 	return (
 		<section>
-			<h1>Logging in...</h1>
+			<h1>Opening login popup...</h1>
 		</section>
 	);
 }
 ```
 
-#### Entry page example
+**Server-managed sessions**:
 
-The entry page processes flows started by an external process (e.g. password reset) by calling `entry()` to extract the necessary parameters to resume the flow and forwarding them to the callback page:
+Popup mode always needs client-side JavaScript to open the window, so there's no server-only alternative here.
+
+##### Handle the callback
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+The popup resolves automatically - no callback page is needed. Token exchange happens inside the popup and the result is posted back to the opener window.
+
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+Same as client managed - the popup's internal callback request is also transparently proxied through `/auth/callback`, and the result is posted back to the opener window exactly the same way.
+
+##### Registration
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this to start the registration flow. It works the same way as `login()` but opens the registration form instead.
 
 ```tsx
+// app/register/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
-import { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
 import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
-import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { PopupFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-export default function Entry() {
+export default function RegisterPage() {
+	const { loading, register } = useStrivacity<PopupFlow>();
 	const router = useRouter();
-	const { entry } = useStrivacity();
+	const startedRef = useRef(false);
 
 	useEffect(() => {
-		(async () => {
-			try {
-				const data = await entry();
-
-				if (data && Object.keys(data).length > 0) {
-					router.push(`/callback?${new URLSearchParams(data).toString()}`);
-				} else {
-					router.push('/');
-				}
-			} catch (error) {
-				console.error('Entry failed:', error);
-				router.push('/');
-			}
-		})();
-	}, []);
+		if (loading || startedRef.current) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		// Prevent multiple calls (React StrictMode)
+		startedRef.current = true;
+
+		register({
+			// Optional parameters
+			loginHint: 'user@example.com', // identifier or JWT-encoded data to hint the login flow
+			acrValues: ['urn:strivacity:loa:2'], // request specific authentication context
+			audiences: ['https://api.example.com'], // target resources for the access token
+			popupWindowTarget: '_blank', // any valid browsing context name
+			popupWindowFeatures: {
+				width: 500,
+				height: 700,
+				left: 100,
+				top: 100,
+				toolbar: false,
+				location: false,
+				resizable: true,
+				scrollbars: true,
+			},
+		})
+			.then(() => router.push('/profile'))
+			.catch((error) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`));
+	}, [loading, register, router]);
 
 	return (
 		<section>
-			<h1>Loading...</h1>
+			<h1>Opening registration popup...</h1>
 		</section>
 	);
 }
 ```
 
-#### Profile page example
+**Server-managed sessions**:
 
-Same as the profile page example in redirect/popup mode.
+Popup mode always needs client-side JavaScript to open the window, so there's no server-only alternative here.
 
-#### Logout page example
+##### Logout
 
-Same as the logout page example in redirect/popup mode.
+**Client-managed sessions**:
 
-### Embedded mode
-
-In `embedded` mode the `<sty-login>` web component (loaded via `bundle.js` from the cluster) handles rendering. Import the bundle at application startup to register the Strivacity web components:
+Call this to clear the session and redirect to the Strivacity end-session endpoint. After that the user is redirected back to your app at `postLogoutRedirectUri`.
 
 ```tsx
-// app/providers.tsx
+// app/logout/page.tsx
 'use client';
 
 import { useEffect } from 'react';
-import { StyAuthProvider } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function LogoutPage() {
+	const { loading, logout } = useStrivacity();
 
-export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
 	useEffect(() => {
-		void import(`${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ISSUER}/assets/components/bundle.js`);
-	}, []);
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
 
-	return (
-		<StyAuthProvider
-			options={{
-				mode: 'embedded',
-				issuer: 'https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>',
-				scopes: ['openid', 'profile'],
-				clientId: '<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>',
-				redirectUri: '<YOUR_REDIRECT_URI>',
-			}}
-		>
-			{children}
-		</StyAuthProvider>
-	);
+		void logout();
+	}, [loading, logout]);
+
+	return null;
 }
 ```
 
-## Logging
-
-The SDK supports optional logging to help you debug authentication flows and monitor SDK behavior. You can enable the built-in console logger or provide your own custom logger implementation.
+**Server-managed sessions**:
 
-### Using the Default Logger
-
-Enable the default console logger by adding the `logging` option:
+With `serverSessionUri` configured, redirect to `/auth/logout` instead - the Server SDK clears the session and redirects to the IDP end-session endpoint:
 
 ```tsx
-import { StyAuthProvider, DefaultLogging, type SDKOptions } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+// app/logout/page.tsx
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
 
-const options: SDKOptions = {
-	mode: 'redirect',
-	issuer: 'https://<YOUR_DOMAIN>',
-	scopes: ['openid', 'profile'],
-	clientId: '<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>',
-	redirectUri: '<YOUR_REDIRECT_URI>',
-	logging: DefaultLogging,
-};
+export default function LogoutPage() {
+	redirect('/auth/logout');
+}
 ```
 
-### Creating a Custom Logger
+##### Token management
 
-Implement the `SDKLogging` interface and pass your class to the `logging` option:
+**Client-managed sessions**:
 
-```typescript
-import type { SDKLogging } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
+Call these methods to manage the session and access token client-side.
 
-export class MyLogger implements SDKLogging {
-	xEventId?: string;
+```tsx
+'use client';
 
-	debug(message: string): void {
-		console.debug(this.xEventId ? `[${this.xEventId}] ${message}` : message);
-	}
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
 
-	info(message: string): void {
-		console.info(this.xEventId ? `[${this.xEventId}] ${message}` : message);
+export function TokenPanel() {
+	const { loading, idTokenClaims, accessToken, refreshToken, refresh, revoke } = useStrivacity();
+
+	async function onRefresh() {
+		// Refresh the access token using the refresh token
+		await refresh();
 	}
 
-	warn(message: string): void {
-		console.warn(this.xEventId ? `[${this.xEventId}] ${message}` : message);
+	async function onRevoke() {
+		// Revoke all tokens at the authorization server and clear the local session
+		await revoke();
 	}
 
-	error(message: string, error: Error): void {
-		console.error(this.xEventId ? `[${this.xEventId}] ${message}` : message, error);
+	if (loading) {
+		return null;
 	}
+
+	// idTokenClaims, accessToken, and refreshToken are plain values from context -
+	// they update automatically whenever the SDK's session changes
+	return (
+		<div>
+			<button onClick={onRefresh}>Refresh</button>
+			<button onClick={onRevoke}>Revoke</button>
+			<pre>{JSON.stringify({ idTokenClaims, accessToken, refreshToken }, null, 2)}</pre>
+		</div>
+	);
 }
 ```
 
-The `SDKLogging` interface requires `debug`, `info`, `warn`, and `error` methods. The optional `xEventId` property, when set by the SDK, provides a correlation ID to trace related log messages across the authentication flow.
-
-## HTTP Client
+**Server-managed sessions**:
 
-The SDK uses a built-in `fetch`-based HTTP client for all requests. You can replace it with your own implementation by extending `SDKHttpClient` and passing your class via the `httpClient` option. This is useful when you need to attach custom headers (e.g. `x-sty-app-id`) to every outgoing request or route traffic through a proxy.
-
-### Adding custom headers to every request
+With `serverSessionUri` configured, tokens are refreshed/revoked by the Server SDK - trigger it by navigating to the catch-all route, then let it redirect back:
 
 ```tsx
-import { StyAuthProvider, SDKHttpClient, type HttpClientResponse, type SDKOptions } from '@strivacity/sdk-next';
-
-class CustomHttpClient extends SDKHttpClient {
-	async request<T>(url: string, options?: RequestInit): Promise<HttpClientResponse<T>> {
-		const mergedOptions: RequestInit = {
-			...options,
-			headers: {
-				'x-sty-app-id': 'my-app',
-				...(options?.headers as Record<string, string>),
-			},
-		};
+'use client';
 
-		const response = await fetch(url, mergedOptions);
+export function TokenPanel() {
+	function onRefresh() {
+		// sdk.refreshSession() runs server-side, then redirects back to returnTo
+		window.location.href = '/auth/refresh?returnTo=/profile';
+	}
 
-		return {
-			headers: response.headers,
-			ok: response.ok,
-			status: response.status,
-			statusText: response.statusText,
-			url: response.url,
-			json: async () => (await response.json()) as T,
-			text: async () => await response.text(),
-		};
+	function onRevoke() {
+		// sdk.revokeSession() runs server-side, then redirects to postLogoutRedirectUri
+		window.location.href = '/auth/revoke';
 	}
-}
 
-const options: SDKOptions = {
-	// ...other options
-	httpClient: CustomHttpClient,
-};
+	return (
+		<div>
+			<button onClick={onRefresh}>Refresh</button>
+			<button onClick={onRevoke}>Revoke</button>
+		</div>
+	);
+}
 ```
 
-Any header you add inside `request()` is automatically included in every SDK request
+---
 
-### CORS configuration
+#### embedded mode
 
-For custom request headers to reach the Strivacity cluster, the cluster must be configured to explicitly allow them. Add the header name(s) to the **Access-Control-Allow-Headers** list in the cluster settings. Without this, browsers will block the preflight `OPTIONS` request and the SDK call will fail with a CORS error.
+> For details on how this mode works, see the [embedded journey documentation](https://docs.strivacity.com/reference/embedded-journey).
 
-```
-Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-sty-app-id, <any other custom headers>
-```
+The login UI renders inside your own page using Strivacity web components (`<sty-login>`, `<sty-notifications>`, `<sty-language-selector>`). The component bundle isn't an npm package - load it dynamically from your Strivacity tenant cluster once, on the login page:
 
-## API Documentation

+'use client';
 
-### `StyLoginRenderer` component
+import { useRef } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import type { LoginComponent } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client/types';
 
-Used in `native` mode to render the authentication UI with your own widget components.

+			<sty-language-selector></sty-language-selector>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
 
-- **`params?: NativeParams`**: Additional parameters for the native login flow.
-- **`widgets?: PartialRecord<WidgetType, React.ComponentType>`**: Custom React components for each widget type used in the flow.
-- **`sessionId?: string | null`**: Session ID for resuming an existing authentication session.
-- **`language?: string | null`**: Language tag (e.g. `"en-US"`) for the authentication UI. Defaults to `navigator.language`. After the session starts the component calls `onLanguageChange` with the resolved language. See the [Translations](https://docs.strivacity.com/docs/translations) page to learn about language precedence implemented by the product.
+You can also set params via the `params` property before calling `start()`:
 
-**Event callbacks**
+```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
+'use client';
 
-- **`onLogin`**: Called on successful authentication. Receives `IdTokenClaims | null`.
-- **`onFallback`**: Called when the native flow needs to fall back to redirect. Receives `FallbackError` with a fallback URL.
-- **`onError`**: Called when an error occurs during authentication.
-- **`onGlobalMessage`**: Called when the flow wants to display a global message (e.g. account lockout warning).
-- **`onBlockReady`**: Called on flow state transitions. Receives `{ previousState: LoginFlowState; state: LoginFlowState }`. Useful for analytics and custom logging.
-- **`onLanguageChange`**: Called after the session starts with the resolved language string.

+			// A fatal error occurred - the message is available in event.detail
+			navigate(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent((event as CustomEvent<string>).detail)}`);
+		};
+
+		element.addEventListener('login', onLogin);
+		element.addEventListener('close', onClose);
+		element.addEventListener('error', onError);
+
+		return () => {
+			element.removeEventListener('login', onLogin);
+			element.removeEventListener('close', onClose);
+			element.removeEventListener('error', onError);
+		};
+	}, [navigate]);
+
+	return (
+		<section>
+			<sty-notifications></sty-notifications>
+			<sty-login ref={loginRef}></sty-login>
+			<sty-language-selector></sty-language-selector>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+##### Notification events
+
+The components dispatch `notification` events on the `document` that the `<sty-notifications>` component automatically displays. If you don't want to use `<sty-notifications>`, you can listen to these events and handle them yourself:
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect } from 'react';
+
+export function CustomNotifications() {
+	useEffect(() => {
+		function onNotification(event: Event) {
+			const customEvent = event as CustomEvent;
+
+			if (customEvent.detail.action === 'show') {
+				// Add new notification to your custom notification system
+				console.log('New notification:', customEvent.detail.notification);
+			} else if (customEvent.detail.action === 'clear') {
+				console.log('Clear all notifications');
+			}
+		}
+
+		document.addEventListener('notification', onNotification);
+
+		return () => document.removeEventListener('notification', onNotification);
+	}, []);
+
+	return null;
+}
+```
+
+##### Dynamic language switching
+
+The `<sty-language-selector>` component provides a built-in UI for language switching. If you don't want to use it, you can change the UI language dynamically by updating the `lang` property on the `<sty-login>` component:
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useRef, useState } from 'react';
+
+export function LanguageSwitcher() {
+	const loginRef = useRef<HTMLElement & { lang: string }>(null);
+	const [currentLang, setCurrentLang] = useState('en-US');
+
+	function changeLanguage(lang: string) {
+		setCurrentLang(lang);
+
+		if (loginRef.current) {
+			loginRef.current.lang = lang;
+		}
+	}
+
+	return (
+		<section>
+			<div>
+				<button onClick={() => changeLanguage('en-US')}>English</button>
+				<button onClick={() => changeLanguage('fr-FR')}>Français</button>
+				<button onClick={() => changeLanguage('de-DE')}>Deutsch</button>
+			</div>
+			<sty-login ref={loginRef} lang={currentLang}></sty-login>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+##### Handle the callback
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+No separate callback page is needed. The `<sty-login>` component handles the entire authentication flow automatically, including token exchange, and dispatches a `login` event when authentication completes successfully.
+
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+Same as client managed - the component's internal callback request is also transparently proxied through `/auth/callback`, with no separate page needed either way.
+
+#### Externally-initiated flows (entry)
+
+For flows started externally (e.g. a password reset email link), the user lands on the entry URL you configured in your Strivacity application native client settings. Call `entry()` on that landing page to resolve the flow parameters from the IDP (`session_id`, `short_app_id`, `language`).
+
+You have two options:
+
+**Option 1: Redirect to a separate login page**
+
+Forward the parameters as query params to your login page:
+
+```tsx
+// app/entry/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { EmbeddedFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function EntryPage() {
+	const { loading, entry } = useStrivacity<EmbeddedFlow>();
+	const router = useRouter();
+
+	useEffect(() => {
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		entry()
+			.then((data) => {
+				// Redirect to login page with flow parameters
+				const params = new URLSearchParams({
+					session_id: data.session_id,
+					short_app_id: data.short_app_id,
+					language: data.language,
+				});
+				window.location.href = `/login?${params}`;
+			})
+			.catch((error) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`));
+	}, [loading, entry, router]);
+
+	return (
+		<section>
+			<h1>Loading...</h1>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+Then on your login page, read the parameters and pass them to `<sty-login>`:
+
+```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import type { LoginComponent } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client/types';
+
+export default function LoginPage() {
+	const router = useRouter();
+	const searchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
+
+	// Read parameters from URL
+	const sessionId = searchParams.get('session_id');
+	const shortAppId = searchParams.get('short_app_id');
+	const language = searchParams.get('language');
+	const loginRef = useRef<LoginComponent>(null);
+
+	useEffect(() => {
+		const element = loginRef.current;
+
+		if (!element) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		element.sessionId = sessionId;
+		element.shortAppId = shortAppId;
+		element.lang = language;
+
+		const onLogin = () => router.push('/profile');
+		const onError = (event: Event) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent((event as CustomEvent<string>).detail)}`);
+
+		element.addEventListener('login', onLogin);
+		element.addEventListener('error', onError);
+
+		return () => {
+			element.removeEventListener('login', onLogin);
+			element.removeEventListener('error', onError);
+		};
+	}, [router, sessionId, shortAppId, language]);
+
+	return (
+		<section>
+			<sty-notifications></sty-notifications>
+			<sty-login ref={loginRef}></sty-login>
+			<sty-language-selector></sty-language-selector>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+**Option 2: Render login on the entry page**
+
+Pass the parameters directly to `<sty-login>` on the same page:
+
+```tsx
+// app/entry/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { LoginComponent } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client/types';
+import type { EmbeddedFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function EntryPage() {
+	const { loading, entry } = useStrivacity<EmbeddedFlow>();
+	const router = useRouter();
+	const loginRef = useRef<LoginComponent>(null);
+
+	const [sessionId, setSessionId] = useState<string | null>(null);
+	const [shortAppId, setShortAppId] = useState<string | null>(null);
+	const [language, setLanguage] = useState<string | null>(null);
+
+	useEffect(() => {
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		entry()
+			.then((data) => {
+				// Set state for sty-login component
+				setSessionId(data.session_id);
+				setShortAppId(data.short_app_id);
+				setLanguage(data.language);
+			})
+			.catch((error) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`));
+	}, [loading, entry, router]);
+
+	useEffect(() => {
+		const element = loginRef.current;
+
+		if (!element || !sessionId) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		element.sessionId = sessionId;
+		element.shortAppId = shortAppId;
+		element.lang = language;
+
+		const onLogin = () => router.push('/profile');
+		const onError = (event: Event) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent((event as CustomEvent<string>).detail)}`);
+
+		element.addEventListener('login', onLogin);
+		element.addEventListener('error', onError);
+
+		return () => {
+			element.removeEventListener('login', onLogin);
+			element.removeEventListener('error', onError);
+		};
+	}, [router, sessionId, shortAppId, language]);
+
+	if (!sessionId) {
+		return (
+			<section>
+				<h1>Loading...</h1>
+			</section>
+		);
+	}
+
+	return (
+		<section>
+			<sty-notifications></sty-notifications>
+			<sty-login ref={loginRef}></sty-login>
+			<sty-language-selector></sty-language-selector>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+##### Logout
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call this to clear the session and redirect to the Strivacity end-session endpoint. After that the user is redirected back to your app at `postLogoutRedirectUri`.
+
+```tsx
+// app/logout/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function LogoutPage() {
+	const { loading, logout } = useStrivacity();
+
+	useEffect(() => {
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		void logout();
+	}, [loading, logout]);
+
+	return null;
+}
+```
+
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+With `serverSessionUri` configured, redirect to `/auth/logout` instead - the Server SDK clears the session and redirects to the IDP end-session endpoint:
+
+```tsx
+// app/logout/page.tsx
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
+
+export default function LogoutPage() {
+	redirect('/auth/logout');
+}
+```
+
+##### Token management
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+Call these methods to manage the session and access token client-side.
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export function TokenPanel() {
+	const { loading, idTokenClaims, accessToken, refreshToken, refresh, revoke } = useStrivacity();
+
+	async function onRefresh() {
+		// Refresh the access token using the refresh token
+		await refresh();
+	}
+
+	async function onRevoke() {
+		// Revoke all tokens at the authorization server and clear the local session
+		await revoke();
+	}
+
+	if (loading) {
+		return null;
+	}
+
+	// idTokenClaims, accessToken, and refreshToken are plain values from context -
+	// they update automatically whenever the SDK's session changes
+	return (
+		<div>
+			<button onClick={onRefresh}>Refresh</button>
+			<button onClick={onRevoke}>Revoke</button>
+			<pre>{JSON.stringify({ idTokenClaims, accessToken, refreshToken }, null, 2)}</pre>
+		</div>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+With `serverSessionUri` configured, tokens are refreshed/revoked by the Server SDK - trigger it by navigating to the catch-all route, then let it redirect back:
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+export function TokenPanel() {
+	function onRefresh() {
+		// sdk.refreshSession() runs server-side, then redirects back to returnTo
+		window.location.href = '/auth/refresh?returnTo=/profile';
+	}
+
+	function onRevoke() {
+		// sdk.revokeSession() runs server-side, then redirects to postLogoutRedirectUri
+		window.location.href = '/auth/revoke';
+	}
+
+	return (
+		<div>
+			<button onClick={onRefresh}>Refresh</button>
+			<button onClick={onRevoke}>Revoke</button>
+		</div>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+#### native mode
+
+> For details on how this mode works, see the [native journey documentation](https://docs.strivacity.com/reference/native-journey).
+
+You build the entire login UI with your own components. `useNativeLogin()` drives a "headless" auth flow: instead of redirecting to a hosted page, the SDK returns a JSON description of the current screen that you render yourself, submit each form step with `submitForm()`, and repeat until the flow finalizes automatically.
+
+> The example below shows a simplified custom implementation. For a complete native renderer with all widget types, see the [example app](../../apps/next/components/auth/native/NativeLogin.tsx).
+
+##### Login / Register
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useNativeLogin } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function LoginPage() {
+	const router = useRouter();
+	const searchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
+
+	const { state, forms, messages, loading, submitForm, setFormValue } = useNativeLogin({
+		params: {
+			prompt: 'login', // use 'create' to open the registration flow instead
+			language: 'en-US', // set the UI language (BCP 47 language tag)
+			sdk: 'web-minimal', // rendering mode: 'web-minimal' for simplified rendering, 'web' (default) for full rendering hints and branding
+			sessionId: searchParams.get('session_id'), // pass a session ID to resume an existing flow
+		},
+		onLogin: async () => {
+			router.push('/profile');
+		},
+		onClose: () => {
+			window.location.reload();
+		},
+		onError: async (error) => {
+			router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`);
+		},
+		onFallback: (error) => {
+			// Fallback to hosted journey if native widget not supported
+			window.location.href = error.url.toString();
+		},
+		onGlobalMessage: (message) => {
+			alert(message.text);
+		},
+	});
+
+	if (loading || !state.screen) {
+		return (
+			<section>
+				<h1>Loading...</h1>
+			</section>
+		);
+	}
+
+	if (state.screen === 'identifier') {
+		return (
+			<section>
+				<h2>Sign In</h2>
+				<form
+					onSubmit={async (event) => {
+						event.preventDefault();
+						await submitForm('identifier');
+					}}
+				>
+					<input
+						type="text"
+						placeholder="Email"
+						value={(forms['identifier']?.identifier as string) ?? ''}
+						onChange={(event) => setFormValue('identifier', 'identifier', event.target.value)}
+					/>
+					{messages['identifier']?.identifier && <div className="error">{messages['identifier'].identifier.text}</div>}
+					<button type="submit">Continue</button>
+				</form>
+			</section>
+		);
+	}
+
+	if (state.screen === 'password') {
+		return (
+			<section>
+				<h2>Enter Password</h2>
+				<form
+					onSubmit={async (event) => {
+						event.preventDefault();
+						await submitForm('password');
+					}}
+				>
+					<input
+						type="password"
+						placeholder="Password"
+						value={(forms['password']?.password as string) ?? ''}
+						onChange={(event) => setFormValue('password', 'password', event.target.value)}
+					/>
+					{messages['password']?.password && <div className="error">{messages['password'].password.text}</div>}
+					<button type="submit">Sign In</button>
+				</form>
+			</section>
+		);
+	}
+
+	return null;
+}
+```
+
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+With `serverSessionUri` configured the code above is unchanged - `useNativeLogin`'s internal requests are transparently proxied through your server instead of going straight to the IDP.
+
+##### Handle the callback
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:
+
+No separate callback page is needed. Once `state.finalizeUrl` is set, `submitForm()` automatically finalizes the session internally to exchange the authorization code for tokens and store it.
+
+**Server-managed sessions**:
+
+Same as client managed - finalizing the session also transparently proxies through your server, with no separate page needed either way.
+
+#### Externally-initiated flows (entry)
+
+For flows started externally (e.g. a password reset email link), the user lands on the entry URL you configured in your Strivacity application native client settings. Call `entry()` on that landing page to resolve the flow parameters from the IDP (`session_id`, `short_app_id`, `language`).
+
+You have two options:
+
+**Option 1: Redirect to a separate login page**
+
+```tsx
+// app/entry/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useStrivacity } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+import type { NativeFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function EntryPage() {
+	const { loading, entry } = useStrivacity<NativeFlow>();
+	const router = useRouter();
+
+	useEffect(() => {
+		if (loading) {
+			return;
+		}
+
+		entry()
+			.then((data) => {
+				const params = new URLSearchParams({
+					session_id: data.session_id,
+					short_app_id: data.short_app_id,
+					language: data.language,
+				});
+				window.location.href = `/login?${params}`;
+			})
+			.catch((error) => router.push(`/error?message=${encodeURIComponent(error.message)}`));
+	}, [loading, entry, router]);
+
+	return (
+		<section>
+			<h1>Loading...</h1>
+		</section>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+Then on your login page, read query parameters from the URL and pass it to `useNativeLogin` to resume the flow, exactly as shown in the Login / Register example above:
+
+```tsx
+// app/login/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useNativeLogin } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default function LoginPage() {
+	const searchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
+
+	const { state, loading, forms, messages, submitForm, setFormValue } = useNativeLogin({
+		params: {
+			sessionId: searchParams.get('session_id'),
+			language: searchParams.get('language'),
+		},
+		onLogin: async () => {
+			window.location.href = '/profile';
+		},
+	});
+
+	// ...render based on `state.screen` as shown in the Login / Register example above
+}
+```
+
+**Option 2: Render login on the entry page**
+
+Call `useNativeLogin` directly inside `app/entry/page.tsx`, feeding it the `session_id` resolved from `entry()` - no redirect needed:
+
+```tsx
+// app/entry/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+import { useStrivacity, useNativeLogin } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';

+	const router = useRouter();
+	const [sessionId, setSessionId] = useState<string | null>(null);

+
+##### Logout
+
+**Client-managed sessions**:

+	forms: Record<string, Record<string, unknown>>; // Form data by form ID
+	messages: Record<string, Record<string, NativeFlowMessage>>; // Validation messages
+
+	// Methods
+	submitForm(formId: string, customBody?: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<void>; // Submit a form and advance to next screen
+	setFormValue(formId: string, widgetId: string, value: unknown): void; // Update a single field value before submission
+	setMessage(formId: string, widgetId: string, value: NativeFlowMessage): void; // Set a validation/info message on a widget
+	triggerFallback(message?: string): void; // Manually trigger fallback to hosted journey
+	triggerClose(): void; // Signal that the login flow was closed by the user
+}
+```
+
+#### withAuthGuard (client)
+
+Higher-order component that guards a component with authentication. Waits for the SDK to finish loading, checks the session, and redirects to the login page if the user is not authenticated. Not to be confused with the Server SDK's [`withAuthGuard`](#withauthguard), which guards a page/route server-side.
+
+```tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { withAuthGuard } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+export default withAuthGuard(
+	function Profile() {
+		return <section>Protected content</section>;
+	},
+	{ loginUri: '/login' },
+);
+```
+
+##### Options
+
+```ts
+{
+	loginUri?: string; // URI to redirect to if the user is not authenticated (default: '/login')
+	onLoading?: () => ReactNode; // Optional render function shown while loading/checking authentication
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Server SDK
+
+
+This is the same backend-for-frontend ([BFF](../../README.md#bff)) server implementation as the [core Server SDK](../sdk-core/README.md#server-sdk), pre-wired for Next.js: `createServerSDK` provides a Next.js `ServerAdapter`, a default encrypted-cookie storage backed by `next/headers`' `cookies()`.
+
+### Setup
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/server.ts
+import { createServerSDK } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+import { sdkOptions } from './options';
+
+export const sdk = createServerSDK({
+	...sdkOptions,
+	secret: process.env.SECRET, // required unless you provide a custom `storage`
+	postLoginRedirectUri: '/profile',
+});
+```
+
+Works with both routers. Mount the catch-all route once:
+
+```ts
+// App Router: app/auth/[...strivacity]/route.ts
+import { sdk } from '../../../lib/auth/server';
+
+export const GET = sdk.handler;
+export const POST = sdk.handler;
+export const PUT = sdk.handler;
+export const PATCH = sdk.handler;
+export const DELETE = sdk.handler;
+```
+
+```ts
+// Pages Router: pages/api/auth/[...strivacity].ts
+import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';
+import { sdk } from '../../../lib/auth/server';
+import { toWebRequest, applyResponse } from '../../../lib/auth/adapter';
+
+export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
+	const response = await sdk.handler(toWebRequest(req));
+	await applyResponse(response, res);
+}
+```
+
+> The Pages Router hands you a Node.js request/response pair rather than a Web `Request`/`Response` - see the core SDK's [Express adapter example](../sdk-core/README.md#server-usage) for `toWebRequest`/`applyResponse` implementations you can adapt.
+
+### Accessing the session server-side
+
+Call `getSession()` from any Server Component, Route Handler, or `getServerSideProps` to read the current session without going through the client SDK:
+
+```tsx
+// app/profile/page.tsx (Server Component)
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
+import { sdk } from '../../lib/auth/server';
+
+export default async function ProfilePage() {
+	const session = await sdk.getSession();
+
+	if (!session) {
+		redirect('/login');
+	}
+
+	return <h1>Hello, {session.claims?.given_name}</h1>;
+}
+```
+
+### withAuthGuard
+
+Guards a page and injects a `session` prop, redirecting to `options.loginUri` (default `/login`) when there's no active session.
+
+**App Router:**
+
+```tsx
+// app/profile/page.tsx
+import { sdk } from '../../lib/auth/server';
+
+export default sdk.withAuthGuard(async function ProfilePage({ session }) {
+	return <h1>Hello, {session.claims?.given_name}</h1>;
+});
+```
+
+**Pages Router:**
+
+```tsx
+// pages/profile.tsx
+import type { SessionData } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+import { sdk } from '../lib/auth/server';
+
+export const getServerSideProps = sdk.withAuthGuard<{ session: SessionData }>();
+
+export default function ProfilePage({ session }: { session: SessionData }) {
+	return <h1>Hello, {session.claims?.given_name}</h1>;
+}
+```
+
+Pass `returnTo` to redirect back to a specific page after login, or (Pages Router only) `getServerSideProps` to run your own data fetching alongside the guard:
+
+```ts
+export const getServerSideProps = sdk.withAuthGuard({
+	returnTo: '/profile',
+	getServerSideProps: async () => ({ props: { extra: 'data' } }),
+});
+```
+
+### withApiAuthRequired
+
+Guards an API route; responds `401 { error: 'not_authenticated' }` when there's no active session.
+
+**App Router:**
+
+```ts
+// app/api/me/route.ts
+import { sdk } from '../../../lib/auth/server';
+
+export const GET = sdk.withApiAuthRequired(async (req) => {
+	const session = await sdk.getSession(req);
+	return Response.json({ claims: session?.claims });
+});
+```
+
+**Pages Router:**
+
+```ts
+// pages/api/me.ts
+import { sdk } from '../../lib/auth/server';
+
+export default sdk.withApiAuthRequired(async (req, res) => {
+	const session = await sdk.getSession(req);
+	res.json({ claims: session?.claims });
+});
+```
+
+<a id="server-storages"></a>
+### Storages
+
+By default the Server SDK stores tokens encrypted in http-only cookies and login state in a global in-memory `Map`. Provide `storage`/`stateStorage` to use something else.
+
+#### Built-in session storages
+
+- **`createEncryptedCookieStorage(secret, options?)`** - default storage that keeps the session encrypted in an http-only cookie.
+- **`createSessionIdCookieStorage(storage, options?)`** - puts only a small, random session-id cookie on the client and keeps the actual session payload in the `storage` you provide. This supports back-channel logout out of the box.
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/storage.ts
+import { createSessionIdCookieStorage, createServerMemoryStorage } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+
+export const sessionStorage = createSessionIdCookieStorage(
+	createServerMemoryStorage(),
+	{
+		// maxAge: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 // Without maxAge this is a browser-session cookie that gets cleared when the browser closes
+	},
+);
+```
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/server.ts
+import { createServerSDK } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+import { sdkOptions } from './options';
+import { sessionStorage } from './storage';
+
+export const sdk = createServerSDK({
+	...sdkOptions,
+	storage: sessionStorage,
+	postLoginRedirectUri: '/profile',
+});
+```
+
+#### Custom storage
+
+For example you can use Redis via [unstorage](https://npmjs.com/package/unstorage):
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/storage.ts
+import { createStorage } from 'unstorage';
+import redisDriver from 'unstorage/drivers/redis';
+import type { NextServerStorage, SDKStorage } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+
+const unstorageInstance = createStorage({ driver: redisDriver({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL }) });
+
+// Custom session storage for tokens
+export const sessionStorage: NextServerStorage = {
+	async get(key) {
+		return unstorageInstance.getItem<string>(key);
+	},
+	async set(key, value) {
+		await unstorageInstance.setItem(key, value);
+	},
+	async delete(key) {
+		await unstorageInstance.removeItem(key);
+	},
+	// Required for back-channel logout support - see below.
+	// Scans all stored sessions and removes those matching the logout token's sid or sub claim.
+	async deleteByLogoutToken(logoutToken) {
+		const keys = await unstorageInstance.getKeys();
+		await Promise.all(
+			keys.map(async (key) => {
+				const raw = await unstorageInstance.getItem<string>(key);
+				if (!raw) return;
+				const session = JSON.parse(raw);
+				if ((logoutToken.sid && session.sid === logoutToken.sid) || (logoutToken.sub && session.sub === logoutToken.sub)) {
+					await unstorageInstance.removeItem(key);
+				}
+			}),
+		);
+	},
+};
+
+// Custom state storage for the OAuth2 state parameter
+export const stateStorage: SDKStorage = {
+	async get(key) {
+		return unstorageInstance.getItem<string>(key);
+	},
+	async set(key, value) {
+		await unstorageInstance.setItem(key, value);
+	},
+	async delete(key) {
+		await unstorageInstance.removeItem(key);
+	},
+};
+```
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/server.ts
+import { createServerSDK } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+import { sdkOptions } from './options';
+import { sessionStorage, stateStorage } from './storage';
+
+export const sdk = createServerSDK({
+	...sdkOptions,
+	storage: sessionStorage, // Custom Redis-backed session storage
+	stateStorage, // Custom Redis-backed state storage
+});
+```
+
+> For more details on the storage interfaces, see the core SDK's [Custom storage](../sdk-core/README.md#server-storages) section.
+
+### Back-channel logout
+
+OIDC back-channel logout lets the authorization server terminate sessions server-to-server, without involving the browser. When the IDP sends a logout event (e.g. an admin terminates a session, or the user logs out from a different device), it POSTs a signed `logout_token` JWT to `/auth/backchannel-logout` - already wired up by the catch-all route from [Setup](#setup) - which routes it to `sdk.handleBackChannelLogout(req)`.
+
+The handler verifies the token's signature against the IDP's JWKS, validates the `iss`, `aud`, `iat` (freshness), and `jti` (replay protection) claims, requires the `http://schemas.openid.net/event/backchannel-logout` event and a `sid` or `sub` claim, then calls `storage.deleteByLogoutToken({ sid?, sub? })` to remove the matching session(s). It responds `200` on success, `400` for an invalid or malformed `logout_token`, and `501` if the configured storage doesn't implement `deleteByLogoutToken`.
+
+> **The default encrypted-cookie storage does not support back-channel logout** because each cookie is bound to a single browser session - there is no server-side index to look up by `sid` or `sub`. To support back-channel logout, use [`createSessionIdCookieStorage`](#server-storages) with a `storage` that implements `deleteByLogoutToken` (e.g. `createServerMemoryStorage()` for local testing), or a fully custom server storage as shown in the [Custom storage](#server-storages) example above.
+
+Configure the **Back-channel logout URI** in your Strivacity application settings to:
+
+```
+https://your-app.example.com/auth/backchannel-logout
+```
+
+For a complete explanation of the handshake and validation performed, see the core SDK's [Back-channel logout](../sdk-core/README.md#server-backchannel-logout) documentation.

+
+## Route guards
+
+- **Client-side**: wrap a `'use client'` component with `withAuthGuard` from `@strivacity/sdk-next/client` - see [withAuthGuard](#withauthguard-client) above.
+- **Server-side**: wrap a page (App Router) or `getServerSideProps` (Pages Router) with `sdk.withAuthGuard` from the Server SDK - see [withAuthGuard](#withauthguard) above.
+
+---
+
+## Shared features
+
+The Next.js SDK is built on top of the core SDK and supports all its features, on both the client and server:
+
+- **[Storages](../sdk-core/README.md#storages)** - localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, Cache API, Memory, Worker (client), encrypted cookies, in-memory (server)

+

+
+## Migration guide
+
+### Migrating to v4.0
+
+v4 replaces the SDK's class-based flow architecture with function-based architecture, and adds a first-class Server SDK for server-managed (BFF) sessions. `StyAuthProvider`, `useStrivacity()`, `useNativeLogin()`, and the built-in `redirect`/`popup`/`embedded`/`native` modes are unchanged - only apps that used `mode: 'custom'` or drove `native` mode through the old `NativeFlowHandler` need to update their code.
+
+#### Class-based flows replaced by functions
+
+In v3, flows were classes (`RedirectFlow`, `PopupFlow`, `NativeFlow`, `EmbeddedFlow`), and the only way to customize behavior beyond the built-in modes - for example, to proxy authentication through your own backend in a bespoke way - was `mode: 'custom'` with a `customFlow` class that extended one of them and override its methods:
+
+```ts
+// v3
+import { NativeFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-core/flows/NativeFlow';
+
+export class CustomNativeFlow extends NativeFlow {
+	override async refresh(): Promise<void> {
+		// ...
+	}
+}
+```
+
+v4 removes `mode: 'custom'`, the `customFlow` option, and the flow classes entirely. In their place, `createBaseFlow` (from `@strivacity/sdk-core/flows/base`) is a factory function that returns a plain object of methods closing over shared state - build your own flow by composing it, without extending anything:
+
+```ts
+// v4
+import { createBaseFlow } from '@strivacity/sdk-core/flows/base';
+import { getDefaultFlowState, getSDKOptions } from '@strivacity/sdk-core/utils';
+import type { SDKInitConfig, SDKOptions } from '@strivacity/sdk-core/types';
+
+export function createCustomFlow(initConfig: SDKInitConfig) {
+	const state = getDefaultFlowState();
+	const options = getSDKOptions<SDKOptions>(state, initConfig);
+	const base = createBaseFlow(state, options);
+
+	async function refresh(): Promise<void> {
+		// ...
+	}
+
+	return { ...base, refresh };
+}
+```
+
+This is a low-level `@strivacity/sdk-core` primitive - it's used the same way no matter which framework package you build on top of it. Wire it up by adding `factory: createCustomFlow` to your shared `sdkOptions` - see [Custom flow](../sdk-core/README.md#custom-flow) in the core SDK README for the full pattern and usage example.
+
+#### Server-managed sessions ([BFF](../../README.md#bff)) are now built in
+
+In v3, routing authentication through your own backend meant writing a custom flow class like the one above yourself: manually calling `fetch()` against hand-written endpoints, and reimplementing PKCE/state handling, CSRF protection, and server-side token storage on your own.
+
+v4 replaces that with the Server SDK shown in [Quick start](#quick-start) above: add `serverSessionUri` to your shared `sdkOptions`, create the server side with `createServerSDK` from `@strivacity/sdk-next/server`, and export its `handler` from a single catch-all Route Handler - PKCE, state, and session storage are all handled by the Server SDK:
+
+```ts
+// lib/auth/server.ts
+import { createServerSDK } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/server';
+import { sdkOptions } from './options';
+
+export const sdk = createServerSDK({
+	...sdkOptions,
+	secret: process.env.SECRET, // http-only cookie encryption key (random 32+ characters)
+});
+```
+
+#### Native mode: no more `NativeFlowHandler`
+
+In v3, `native` mode's `login()`/`register()` returned a separate `NativeFlowHandler` instance, and the flow was driven through that handler:
+
+```ts
+// v3
+const handler = await sdk.login();
+const state = await handler.startSession(sessionId);
+const nextState = await handler.submitForm('formId', { identifier: 'user@example.com' });
+await handler.finalizeSession(nextState.finalizeUrl);
+```
+
+v4 moves `startSession()`, `submitForm()`, and `finalizeSession()` directly onto the flow itself - in `@strivacity/sdk-next` this is wrapped for you by the [`useNativeLogin()`](#usenativelogin) hook:
+
+```ts
+import { useNativeLogin } from '@strivacity/sdk-next/client';
+
+// v4
+const { state, forms, messages, submitForm } = useNativeLogin({
+	params: { sessionId },
+});
+
+await submitForm('formId');
+```
+
+Update any code that calls `login()`/`register()` and drives the returned handler in `native` mode to use `useNativeLogin()` instead.
 
 ## Migrating to v3.0
 
 ### Entry API Major Changes
 
 Strivacity SDK's `entry()` API now returns a structured object instead of a plain string. Check the example above in the usage section for more details.
