5. Fricción en el inicio de sesión

El flujo actual es un poco un matón de conversiones: el usuario hace clic en «Iniciar sesión» → Se abre una nueva pestaña → El inicio de sesión se realiza → El usuario queda en la página principal de la comunidad. De vuelta en la entrada del blog, el iframe sigue pareciendo que no ha iniciado sesión hasta que el usuario actualiza manualmente toda la página. Es un bucle confuso que hace que la gente se rinda y se vaya antes de comentar.

Desde que activamos el nuevo embed, nuestros registros diarios se han más que duplicado, lo cual es genial. Sin embargo, nuestras métricas de participación no han movido un dedo. De hecho, nuestra DAU/MAU ha disminuido – tenemos más usuarios conectados, pero no están interactuando. Métricas como «Usuarios activos diarios», «Nuevos contribuyentes» y «Publicaciones» no han visto ningún aumento.

Esto demuestra que la gente quiere unirse a la conversación, pero se pierden en el bucle de inicio de sesión y abandonan la entrada antes de poder comentar realmente.

Esto ya está solucionado, por favor actualiza para obtener el nuevo flujo de inicio de sesión.

FEATURE: Add in-iframe sign-in flow for full app embed mode (#39756)

Previously, full app embeds loaded on a third-party domain could not see the for…um's session cookie, leaving users effectively logged out, and `showLogin` only opened a dead-end `/login` tab the iframe never reacted to. This adds an `embed_full_app_signin_flow` site setting (on by default, gated to full app embed mode) that intercepts logged-out actions inside the iframe with a guided flow: bridge storage access if the iframe's cookie jar is partitioned, then either reload (if the user is already signed in elsewhere) or open a top-level sign-in tab and watch the session via polling. ## Flow 1. User clicks an auth-gated action (Reply CTA, Like, etc.). `showLogin` / `showCreateAccount` and the embed-topic-footer reply CTA route into the new `embed-auth-flow` service. 2. **If `document.hasStorageAccess()` is `false`** — Safari ITP, Firefox Total Cookie Protection, Chrome's 3p cookie phaseout — an in-iframe modal asks the user to share their session. Confirming calls `requestStorageAccess()` (synchronously inside the click handler so user activation is preserved). 3. Once we have access, the service probes `/session/current.json`. If the user is already signed in elsewhere (common Firefox ETP scenario), the iframe reloads to pick up the session — no popup. 4. Otherwise, a sign-in modal opens a top-level `/login?embed_signin_callback=1` (or `/signup`) tab and shows a waiting state with a spinner. The iframe polls `/session/current.json` every 3s for up to 5 min. 5. When polling sees a logged-in response, the iframe reloads. The popup self-closes once it has a session, driven by the `embed_signin_callback` query param + sessionStorage flag. ## Why polling instead of `postMessage` The popup-side callback originally posted a success message back to the opener. Discourse's default `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` (`same-origin-allow-popups`) typically mismatches an embedding host's (`unsafe-none`), which severs `window.opener` on the popup's very first load — and any OAuth provider redirect amplifies this. Polling sidesteps the whole opener relationship and works regardless of COOP, OAuth, or the user opening the link in a new tab. ## Setting - `embed_full_app_signin_flow` (boolean, default `true`, in the `embedding` area). - The flow assumes the iframe can receive its cookies after popup sign-in — true when the embed is **same-site to the host page** (any SameSite setting) or when `same_site_cookies = "None"` is configured for cross-site embeds. We trust the admin to enable this only on a compatible deployment. ## Implementation notes - **Browser-agnostic storage access.** `hasStorageAccess()` is the single signal — `true` on same-site/same-origin embeds (no prompt needed), `false` whenever the iframe's cookie jar is partitioned. No browser sniffing. - **User activation preserved.** The modal uses native `<button {{on "click" handler}}>` rather than `service:dialog`, so `requestStorageAccess()` and `window.open()` see a live activation token in the click handler. - **No reload after storage access.** `requestStorageAccess()` grants access for the current document; we chain directly into the next step in the same execution. Reloading would put the iframe back in partitioned mode in most browsers. - **Popup self-close is param-driven, not opener-driven.** The callback initializer keys off `?embed_signin_callback=1` alone — `window.opener` is unreliable thanks to COOP. - **API-unsupported fallback.** Without `document.requestStorageAccess`, the service opens a plain top-level login tab (no callback param) instead of trapping the user in a popup that cannot bridge cookies. - **Storage access denial is a dead-end on purpose.** The catch handler does not chain to a sign-in popup, since a sign-in tab cannot help an iframe that lacks storage access. The user retries the action to be re-prompted. - **Waiting modal.** While polling, the iframe shows a spinner and "Waiting for sign-in" message. Cancel stops the poll and closes the popup; the modal auto-dismisses on timeout. ## Tests `tests/unit/services/embed-auth-flow-test.js` covers gating, the partitioned vs. non-partitioned split, the storage-access → sign-in chain, the already-signed-in → reload path, denial behaviour, popup URL routing, and the API-unsupported fallback.
