+# ADR-022: Fix IndieAuth Callback Route Mismatch
+
+## Status
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+We have discovered a critical routing mismatch in our IndieAuth implementation that causes a 404 error when IndieAuth providers redirect back to our application.
+
+### The Problem
+The auth blueprint is currently registered with `url_prefix="/admin"` in `/starpunk/routes/auth.py` line 30:
+```python
+bp = Blueprint("auth", __name__, url_prefix="/admin")
+```
+
+This means all auth routes are actually served under `/admin`:
+- `/admin/login` - Login form
+- `/admin/callback` - OAuth callback endpoint
+- `/admin/logout` - Logout endpoint
+
+However, in `/starpunk/auth.py` lines 325 and 414, the redirect_uri sent to IndieAuth providers is:
+```python
+redirect_uri = f"{current_app.config['SITE_URL']}auth/callback"
+```
+
+This mismatch causes IndieAuth providers to redirect users to `/auth/callback`, which doesn't exist, resulting in a 404 error.
+
+### Current Route Structure
+- **Auth Blueprint** (with `/admin` prefix):
+  - `/admin/login` - Login form
+  - `/admin/callback` - OAuth callback
+  - `/admin/logout` - Logout endpoint
+- **Admin Blueprint** (with `/admin` prefix):
+  - `/admin/` - Dashboard
+  - `/admin/new` - Create note
+  - `/admin/edit/<id>` - Edit note
+  - `/admin/delete/<id>` - Delete note
+
+## Decision
+Change the auth blueprint URL prefix from `/admin` to `/auth` to match the redirect_uri being sent to IndieAuth providers.
+
+## Rationale
+
+### 1. Separation of Concerns
+Authentication routes (`/auth/*`) should be semantically separate from administration routes (`/admin/*`). This creates a cleaner architecture where:
+- `/auth/*` handles authentication flows (login, callback, logout)
+- `/admin/*` handles protected administrative functions (dashboard, CRUD operations)
+
+### 2. Standards Compliance
+IndieAuth and OAuth2 conventions typically use `/auth/callback` for OAuth callbacks:
+- Most OAuth documentation and examples use this pattern
+- IndieAuth implementations commonly expect callbacks at `/auth/callback`
+- Follows RESTful URL design principles
+
+### 3. Security Benefits
+Clear separation provides:
+- Easier application of different security policies (rate limiting on auth vs admin)
+- Clearer audit trails and access logs
+- Reduced cognitive load when reviewing security configurations
+- Better principle of least privilege implementation
+
+### 4. Minimal Impact
+Analysis of the codebase shows:
+- No hardcoded URLs to `/admin/login` in external-facing documentation
+- All internal redirects use `url_for('auth.login_form')` which will automatically adjust
+- Templates use named routes: `url_for('auth.login_initiate')`, `url_for('auth.logout')`
+- No stored auth_state data is tied to the URL path
+
+### 5. Future Flexibility
+If we later need public authentication for other features:
+- API token generation could live at `/auth/tokens`
+- OAuth provider functionality could use `/auth/authorize`
+- WebAuthn endpoints could use `/auth/webauthn`
+- All auth-related functionality stays organized under `/auth`
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- **Fixes the immediate bug**: IndieAuth callbacks will work correctly
+- **Cleaner architecture**: Proper separation between auth and admin concerns
+- **Standards alignment**: Matches common OAuth/IndieAuth patterns
+- **No breaking changes**: All internal routes use named endpoints
+- **Better organization**: More intuitive URL structure
+
+### Negative
+- **Documentation updates needed**: Must update docs showing `/admin/login` paths
+- **Potential user confusion**: Users who bookmarked `/admin/login` will get 404
+  - Mitigation: Could add a redirect from `/admin/login` to `/auth/login` for transition period
+
+### Migration Requirements
+- No database migrations required
+- No session invalidation needed
+- No configuration changes needed
+- Simply update the blueprint registration
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Change redirect_uri to `/admin/callback`
+**Rejected because:**
+- Mixes authentication concerns with administration in URL structure
+- Goes against common OAuth/IndieAuth URL patterns
+- Less intuitive - callbacks aren't "admin" functions
+- Requires changes in two places in `auth.py` (lines 325 and 414)
+
+### Alternative 2: Create a separate `/auth` blueprint just for callback
+**Rejected because:**
+- Splits related authentication logic across multiple blueprints
+- More complex routing configuration
+- Harder to maintain - auth logic spread across files
+- Violates single responsibility principle at module level
+
+### Alternative 3: Use root-level routes (`/login`, `/callback`, `/logout`)
+**Rejected because:**
+- Pollutes the root namespace
+- No logical grouping of related routes
+- Harder to apply auth-specific middleware
+- Less scalable as application grows
+
+### Alternative 4: Keep current structure and add redirect
+**Rejected because:**
+- Doesn't fix the underlying architectural issue
+- Adds unnecessary HTTP redirect overhead
+- Makes debugging more complex
+- Band-aid solution rather than proper fix
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Required Change
+Update line 30 in `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/starpunk/routes/auth.py`:
+```python
+# From:
+bp = Blueprint("auth", __name__, url_prefix="/admin")
+
+# To:
+bp = Blueprint("auth", __name__, url_prefix="/auth")
+```
+
+### Results
+This single change will:
+- Make the callback available at `/auth/callback` (matching the redirect_uri)
+- Move login to `/auth/login`
+- Move logout to `/auth/logout`
+- All template references using `url_for()` will automatically resolve correctly
+
+### Optional Transition Support
+If desired, add temporary redirects in `starpunk/routes/admin.py`:
+```python
+@bp.route("/login")
+def old_login_redirect():
+    """Temporary redirect for bookmarks"""
+    return redirect(url_for("auth.login_form"), 301)
+```
+
+### Documentation Updates Required
+Files to update:
+- `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/TECHNOLOGY-STACK-SUMMARY.md` - Update route table
+- `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/design/phase-4-web-interface.md` - Update route documentation
+- `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/docs/designs/phase-5-quick-reference.md` - Update admin access instructions
+
+## Testing Verification
+After implementation:
+1. Verify `/auth/login` displays login form
+2. Verify `/auth/callback` accepts IndieAuth redirects
+3. Verify `/auth/logout` destroys session
+4. Verify all admin routes still require authentication
+5. Test full IndieAuth flow with real provider

+# Auth Route Prefix Fix Implementation Report
+
+**Date**: 2025-11-22
+**Version**: 0.9.2
+**ADR**: ADR-022-auth-route-prefix-fix.md
+
+## Summary
+
+Fixed IndieAuth callback 404 error by changing the auth blueprint URL prefix from `/admin` to `/auth`.
+
+## Problem
+
+The auth blueprint in `starpunk/routes/auth.py` had its URL prefix set to `/admin`:
+
+```python
+bp = Blueprint("auth", __name__, url_prefix="/admin")
+```
+
+However, the redirect_uri sent to IndieAuth providers used `/auth/callback`:
+
+```
+redirect_uri=https://example.com/auth/callback
+```
+
+This mismatch caused IndieLogin.com to redirect users back to `/auth/callback`, which resulted in a 404 error because Flask was routing auth endpoints to `/admin/*`.
+
+## Solution
+
+Changed the auth blueprint URL prefix from `/admin` to `/auth`:
+
+```python
+bp = Blueprint("auth", __name__, url_prefix="/auth")
+```
+
+This aligns the blueprint prefix with the redirect_uri being sent to IndieAuth providers.
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. **`starpunk/routes/auth.py`** (line 30)
+   - Changed: `url_prefix="/admin"` -> `url_prefix="/auth"`
+
+2. **`tests/test_routes_admin.py`**
+   - Updated test assertion from `/admin/login` to `/auth/login`
+
+3. **`tests/test_routes_dev_auth.py`**
+   - Updated all references from `/admin/login` to `/auth/login`
+   - Updated `/admin/logout` to `/auth/logout`
+
+4. **`tests/test_templates.py`**
+   - Updated all references from `/admin/login` to `/auth/login`
+
+5. **`starpunk/__init__.py`**
+   - Version bumped from 0.9.1 to 0.9.2
+
+6. **`CHANGELOG.md`**
+   - Added 0.9.2 release notes
+
+## Route Changes
+
+### Before (incorrect)
+- `/admin/login` - Login form
+- `/admin/callback` - OAuth callback (never reached due to 404)
+- `/admin/logout` - Logout endpoint
+
+### After (correct)
+- `/auth/login` - Login form
+- `/auth/callback` - OAuth callback (matches redirect_uri)
+- `/auth/logout` - Logout endpoint
+
+### Unchanged
+- `/admin/` - Admin dashboard (remains unchanged)
+- `/admin/new` - Create note form
+- `/admin/edit/<id>` - Edit note form
+- `/admin/delete/<id>` - Delete note
+
+## Testing
+
+Ran full test suite with `uv run pytest`:
+- **Before fix**: 28 failed, 486 passed
+- **After fix**: 28 failed, 486 passed
+
+The failure count is identical because:
+1. The fix itself does not introduce new failures
+2. Tests were updated to expect the new `/auth/*` URL patterns
+3. Existing failures are pre-existing issues unrelated to this change (h-app microformats and OAuth metadata tests that were removed in v0.8.0)
+
+## Verification
+
+To verify the fix is working:
+
+1. Start the application: `uv run flask --app app.py run`
+2. Navigate to `/auth/login`
+3. Enter your IndieAuth URL and submit
+4. After authenticating with IndieLogin.com, you should be redirected back to `/auth/callback` which now correctly handles the OAuth response
