+# Auth Session Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Persist authentication tokens to disk and reuse across test runs. Support multiple user identifiers, ephemeral authentication, and worker-specific accounts for parallel execution. Fetch tokens once, use everywhere. **Works for both API-only tests and browser tests.**
+
+## Rationale
+
+Playwright's built-in authentication works but has limitations:
+
+- Re-authenticates for every test run (slow)
+- Single user per project setup
+- No token expiration handling
+- Manual session management
+- Complex setup for multi-user scenarios
+
+The `auth-session` utility provides:
+
+- **Token persistence**: Authenticate once, reuse across runs
+- **Multi-user support**: Different user identifiers in same test suite
+- **Ephemeral auth**: On-the-fly user authentication without disk persistence
+- **Worker-specific accounts**: Parallel execution with isolated user accounts
+- **Automatic token management**: Checks validity, renews if expired
+- **Flexible provider pattern**: Adapt to any auth system (OAuth2, JWT, custom)
+- **API-first design**: Get tokens for API tests without browser overhead
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Auth Session Setup
+
+**Context**: Configure global authentication that persists across test runs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Step 1: Configure in global-setup.ts
+import { authStorageInit, setAuthProvider, configureAuthSession, authGlobalInit } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import myCustomProvider from './auth/custom-auth-provider';
+
+async function globalSetup() {
+  // Ensure storage directories exist
+  authStorageInit();
+
+  // Configure storage path
+  configureAuthSession({
+    authStoragePath: process.cwd() + '/playwright/auth-sessions',
+    debug: true,
+  });
+
+  // Set custom provider (HOW to authenticate)
+  setAuthProvider(myCustomProvider);
+
+  // Optional: pre-fetch token for default user
+  await authGlobalInit();
+}
+
+export default globalSetup;
+
+// Step 2: Create auth fixture
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createAuthFixtures, setAuthProvider } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import myCustomProvider from './custom-auth-provider';
+
+// Register provider early
+setAuthProvider(myCustomProvider);
+
+export const test = base.extend(createAuthFixtures());
+
+// Step 3: Use in tests
+test('authenticated request', async ({ authToken, request }) => {
+  const response = await request.get('/api/protected', {
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+  });
+
+  expect(response.ok()).toBeTruthy();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Global setup runs once before all tests
+- Token fetched once, reused across all tests
+- Custom provider defines your auth mechanism
+- Order matters: configure, then setProvider, then init
+
+### Example 2: Multi-User Authentication
+
+**Context**: Testing with different user roles (admin, regular user, guest) in same test suite.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '../support/auth/auth-fixture';
+
+// Option 1: Per-test user override
+test('admin actions', async ({ authToken, authOptions }) => {
+  // Override default user
+  authOptions.userIdentifier = 'admin';
+
+  const { authToken: adminToken } = await test.step('Get admin token', async () => {
+    return { authToken }; // Re-fetches with new identifier
+  });
+
+  // Use admin token
+  const response = await request.get('/api/admin/users', {
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${adminToken}` },
+  });
+});
+
+// Option 2: Parallel execution with different users
+test.describe.parallel('multi-user tests', () => {
+  test('user 1 actions', async ({ authToken }) => {
+    // Uses default user (e.g., 'user1')
+  });
+
+  test('user 2 actions', async ({ authToken, authOptions }) => {
+    authOptions.userIdentifier = 'user2';
+    // Uses different token for user2
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Override `authOptions.userIdentifier` per test
+- Tokens cached separately per user identifier
+- Parallel tests isolated with different users
+- Worker-specific accounts possible
+
+### Example 3: Ephemeral User Authentication
+
+**Context**: Create temporary test users that don't persist to disk (e.g., testing user creation flow).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { applyUserCookiesToBrowserContext } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import { createTestUser } from '../utils/user-factory';
+
+test('ephemeral user test', async ({ context, page }) => {
+  // Create temporary user (not persisted)
+  const ephemeralUser = await createTestUser({
+    role: 'admin',
+    permissions: ['delete-users'],
+  });
+
+  // Apply auth directly to browser context
+  await applyUserCookiesToBrowserContext(context, ephemeralUser);
+
+  // Page now authenticated as ephemeral user
+  await page.goto('/admin/users');
+
+  await expect(page.getByTestId('delete-user-btn')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // User and token cleaned up after test
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- No disk persistence (ephemeral)
+- Apply cookies directly to context
+- Useful for testing user lifecycle
+- Clean up automatic when test ends
+
+### Example 4: Testing Multiple Users in Single Test
+
+**Context**: Testing interactions between users (messaging, sharing, collaboration features).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('user interaction', async ({ browser }) => {
+  // User 1 context
+  const user1Context = await browser.newContext({
+    storageState: './auth-sessions/local/user1/storage-state.json',
+  });
+  const user1Page = await user1Context.newPage();
+
+  // User 2 context
+  const user2Context = await browser.newContext({
+    storageState: './auth-sessions/local/user2/storage-state.json',
+  });
+  const user2Page = await user2Context.newPage();
+
+  // User 1 sends message
+  await user1Page.goto('/messages');
+  await user1Page.fill('#message', 'Hello from user 1');
+  await user1Page.click('#send');
+
+  // User 2 receives message
+  await user2Page.goto('/messages');
+  await expect(user2Page.getByText('Hello from user 1')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Cleanup
+  await user1Context.close();
+  await user2Context.close();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Each user has separate browser context
+- Reference storage state files directly
+- Test real-time interactions
+- Clean up contexts after test
+
+### Example 5: Worker-Specific Accounts (Parallel Testing)
+
+**Context**: Running tests in parallel with isolated user accounts per worker to avoid conflicts.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts
+export default defineConfig({
+  workers: 4, // 4 parallel workers
+  use: {
+    // Each worker uses different user
+    storageState: async ({}, use, testInfo) => {
+      const workerIndex = testInfo.workerIndex;
+      const userIdentifier = `worker-${workerIndex}`;
+
+      await use(`./auth-sessions/local/${userIdentifier}/storage-state.json`);
+    },
+  },
+});
+
+// Tests run in parallel, each worker with its own user
+test('parallel test 1', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Worker 0 uses worker-0 account
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+});
+
+test('parallel test 2', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Worker 1 uses worker-1 account
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Each worker has isolated user account
+- No conflicts in parallel execution
+- Token management automatic per worker
+- Scales to any number of workers
+
+### Example 6: Pure API Authentication (No Browser)
+
+**Context**: Get auth tokens for API-only tests using auth-session disk persistence.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// Step 1: Create API-only auth provider (no browser needed)
+// playwright/support/api-auth-provider.ts
+import { type AuthProvider } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+
+const apiAuthProvider: AuthProvider = {
+  getEnvironment: (options) => options.environment || 'local',
+  getUserIdentifier: (options) => options.userIdentifier || 'api-user',
+
+  extractToken: (storageState) => {
+    // Token stored in localStorage format for disk persistence
+    const tokenEntry = storageState.origins?.[0]?.localStorage?.find(
+      (item) => item.name === 'auth_token'
+    );
+    return tokenEntry?.value;
+  },
+
+  isTokenExpired: (storageState) => {
+    const expiryEntry = storageState.origins?.[0]?.localStorage?.find(
+      (item) => item.name === 'token_expiry'
+    );
+    if (!expiryEntry) return true;
+    return Date.now() > parseInt(expiryEntry.value, 10);
+  },
+
+  manageAuthToken: async (request, options) => {
+    const email = process.env.TEST_USER_EMAIL;
+    const password = process.env.TEST_USER_PASSWORD;
+
+    if (!email || !password) {
+      throw new Error('TEST_USER_EMAIL and TEST_USER_PASSWORD must be set');
+    }
+
+    // Pure API login - no browser!
+    const response = await request.post('/api/auth/login', {
+      data: { email, password },
+    });
+
+    if (!response.ok()) {
+      throw new Error(`Auth failed: ${response.status()}`);
+    }
+
+    const { token, expiresIn } = await response.json();
+    const expiryTime = Date.now() + expiresIn * 1000;
+
+    // Return storage state format for disk persistence
+    return {
+      cookies: [],
+      origins: [
+        {
+          origin: process.env.API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
+          localStorage: [
+            { name: 'auth_token', value: token },
+            { name: 'token_expiry', value: String(expiryTime) },
+          ],
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+};
+
+export default apiAuthProvider;
+
+// Step 2: Create auth fixture
+// playwright/support/fixtures.ts
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createAuthFixtures, setAuthProvider } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+import apiAuthProvider from './api-auth-provider';
+
+setAuthProvider(apiAuthProvider);
+
+export const test = base.extend(createAuthFixtures());
+
+// Step 3: Use in tests - token persisted to disk!
+// tests/api/authenticated-api.spec.ts
+import { test } from '../support/fixtures';
+import { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('should access protected endpoint', async ({ authToken, apiRequest }) => {
+  // authToken is automatically loaded from disk or fetched if expired
+  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'GET',
+    path: '/api/me',
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+  });
+
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+
+test('should create resource with auth', async ({ authToken, apiRequest }) => {
+  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'POST',
+    path: '/api/orders',
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+    body: { items: [{ productId: 'prod-1', quantity: 2 }] },
+  });
+
+  expect(status).toBe(201);
+  expect(body.id).toBeDefined();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Token persisted to disk (not in-memory) - survives test reruns
+- Provider fetches token once, reuses until expired
+- Pure API authentication - no browser context needed
+- `authToken` fixture handles disk read/write automatically
+- Environment variables validated with clear error message
+
+### Example 7: Service-to-Service Authentication
+
+**Context**: Test microservice authentication patterns (API keys, service tokens) with proper environment validation.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/api/service-auth.spec.ts
+import { test as base, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as apiFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+
+// Validate environment variables at module load
+const SERVICE_API_KEY = process.env.SERVICE_API_KEY;
+const INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL = process.env.INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL;
+
+if (!SERVICE_API_KEY) {
+  throw new Error('SERVICE_API_KEY environment variable is required');
+}
+if (!INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL) {
+  throw new Error('INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL environment variable is required');
+}
+
+const test = mergeTests(base, apiFixture);
+
+test.describe('Service-to-Service Auth', () => {
+  test('should authenticate with API key', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+    const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+      method: 'GET',
+      path: '/internal/health',
+      baseUrl: INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL,
+      headers: { 'X-API-Key': SERVICE_API_KEY },
+    });
+
+    expect(status).toBe(200);
+    expect(body.status).toBe('healthy');
+  });
+
+  test('should reject invalid API key', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+    const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+      method: 'GET',
+      path: '/internal/health',
+      baseUrl: INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL,
+      headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'invalid-key' },
+    });
+
+    expect(status).toBe(401);
+    expect(body.code).toBe('INVALID_API_KEY');
+  });
+
+  test('should call downstream service with propagated auth', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+    const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+      method: 'POST',
+      path: '/internal/aggregate-data',
+      baseUrl: INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL,
+      headers: {
+        'X-API-Key': SERVICE_API_KEY,
+        'X-Request-ID': `test-${Date.now()}`,
+      },
+      body: { sources: ['users', 'orders', 'inventory'] },
+    });
+
+    expect(status).toBe(200);
+    expect(body.aggregatedFrom).toHaveLength(3);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Environment variables validated at module load with clear errors
+- API key authentication (simpler than OAuth - no disk persistence needed)
+- Test internal/service endpoints
+- Validate auth rejection scenarios
+- Correlation ID for request tracing
+
+> **Note**: API keys are typically static secrets that don't expire, so disk persistence (auth-session) isn't needed. For rotating service tokens, use the auth-session provider pattern from Example 6.
+
+## Custom Auth Provider Pattern
+
+**Context**: Adapt auth-session to your authentication system (OAuth2, JWT, SAML, custom).
+
+**Minimal provider structure**:
+
+```typescript
+import { type AuthProvider } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+
+const myCustomProvider: AuthProvider = {
+  getEnvironment: (options) => options.environment || 'local',
+
+  getUserIdentifier: (options) => options.userIdentifier || 'default-user',
+
+  extractToken: (storageState) => {
+    // Extract token from your storage format
+    return storageState.cookies.find((c) => c.name === 'auth_token')?.value;
+  },
+
+  extractCookies: (tokenData) => {
+    // Convert token to cookies for browser context
+    return [
+      {
+        name: 'auth_token',
+        value: tokenData,
+        domain: 'example.com',
+        path: '/',
+        httpOnly: true,
+        secure: true,
+      },
+    ];
+  },
+
+  isTokenExpired: (storageState) => {
+    // Check if token is expired
+    const expiresAt = storageState.cookies.find((c) => c.name === 'expires_at');
+    return Date.now() > parseInt(expiresAt?.value || '0');
+  },
+
+  manageAuthToken: async (request, options) => {
+    // Main token acquisition logic
+    // Return storage state with cookies/localStorage
+  },
+};
+
+export default myCustomProvider;
+```
+
+## Integration with API Request
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('authenticated API call', async ({ apiRequest, authToken }) => {
+  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'GET',
+    path: '/api/protected',
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+  });
+
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+```

+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**❌ Calling setAuthProvider after globalSetup:**
+
+```typescript
+async function globalSetup() {
+  configureAuthSession(...)
+  await authGlobalInit()  // Provider not set yet!
+  setAuthProvider(provider)  // Too late
+}
+```
+
+**✅ Register provider before init:**
+
+```typescript
+async function globalSetup() {
+  authStorageInit()
+  configureAuthSession(...)
+  setAuthProvider(provider)  // First
+  await authGlobalInit()     // Then init
+}
+```
+
+**❌ Hardcoding storage paths:**
+
+```typescript
+const storageState = './auth-sessions/local/user1/storage-state.json'; // Brittle
+```
+
+**✅ Use helper functions:**
+
+```typescript
+import { getTokenFilePath } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session';
+
+const tokenPath = getTokenFilePath({
+  environment: 'local',
+  userIdentifier: 'user1',
+  tokenFileName: 'storage-state.json',
+});
+```
