3be21ccbf0 docs(perf): v4.17.1 results and harness fixes (#12651)
Publishes the v4.17.1 benchmark sweep and the harness fixes the sweep
uncovered.

## Results

All 11 published targets ran for 30 minutes each against a fixed
7-container deployment (vCPU 6 / 6 Gi, psql v17.4, US1 client and
server), at 600 VUs except where noted. Latencies are
`http_req_duration` over the test phase.

| manipulate_user | **200** | 19 | 304.58ms | 10.23s | 38.43s | 225 /
171,987 (0.13%) |

Against the goals:

- **#8352 is met.** `machine_jwt_profile_grant` reached **1076/s**
against the 1000/s goal, with p50 at 85ms.
- **#4424 is not met.** `human_password_login` runs at **49/s** against
a 1200/s goal.

The sweep ran with `improvedPerformance` enabled (`PROJECT_GRANT`,
`PROJECT`, `USER_GRANT`, `ORG_DOMAIN_VERIFIED`), captured from the
instance before the first target rather than assumed; the full flag set
is on every page.

## What the observability rows show

The containers were never the constraint. ZITADEL CPU sat at 9–50%
(p50), memory at 6–7% (p50, peaking at 16%) of 6 GiB, and instance count
was flat at 7 with no container startups in any window. Database CPU was
at **86–98% median on nine of eleven targets**. Any "ZITADEL achieves
N/s" figure that omits which resource ran out is true and misleading, so
the pages say.

The query breakdown then shows what the CPU numbers cannot: **advisory
lock wait is the single largest category of database time across the
sweep (91,857 s accumulated)**, ahead of event reads (64,805 s), event
push (26,411 s) and projection reads (14,625 s). The three locks are the
projection handler lock (`handler/v2/handler.go`), the eventstore read
barrier (`repository/sql/query.go`) and the shared lock every push takes
(`eventstore/v3/push.go`).

That is what sets the `flowchart outcome` on each page, and it is not
uniform:

- **Scale** on the seven targets where a resource genuinely ran out —
database CPU at 92–98% with 0% lock share.
- **Potential issues** on `human_password_login`, `password_session`,
`otp_session` and `manipulate_user`, where 45–74% of the top query time
is lock wait. `password_session` runs at 51% database CPU and 50%
container CPU and still only manages 68 iter/s; adding vCPU there buys
nothing.

Autovacuum is cleared as a contributor: 93.9% median DB CPU in buckets
containing a vacuum against 93.1% without, within noise. The new v4.17
eventstore autovacuum is barely triggered — `events2` is not in the top
twenty vacuumed tables.

## Harness fixes

Defects found during the sweep, all of which corrupted published numbers
or aborted runs:

1. **Colliding check names.** `updateHuman`, `lockUser` and `deleteUser`
all registered checks as `update user is status ok`, two of them
asserting `status === 201` against endpoints returning 200. k6
aggregates checks by name, so this produced a permanent, fictional 28%
failure rate. Each check now has its own name and accepts 2xx.
2. **User-creation read-after-write race**, in three variants, each
found after the previous fix. The read-back resolved `undefined` when
the projection was behind, surfacing much later as `Cannot read property
'0' of undefined`; then an unguarded `res.json()` turned every request
timeout into a killed iteration; then a *partial* read — a valid user
object with `loginNames` not yet projected — passed an `if (user)` guard
and failed identically. `readUserAfterCreate()` now guards status and
body before parsing, requires the field rather than the object, and
retries with backoff, rejecting with the user id and username.
3. **Metric cardinality.** Id-bearing URLs produced 800k+ time series
against k6's suggested 100k, driving k6 to 6.8 GB and an OOM mid-run.
All 16 such call sites now set a grouped `name` tag.
4. **`password_session` wrote its CSV to `otp_session`'s filename** in
the Makefile, silently overwriting the previous target's output.

The read-back race is not only a harness defect: at 600 VUs it measures
real load-induced projection lag, exceeding 25 s for login-name
projection and 100 s for the user projection, against instant reads on
an unloaded instance.

## Stable v2 user API

Four calls in `benchmark/src/user.ts` still went to `/v2beta/users` —
update, lock, delete and the machine read-back. They date from the
original load-test bootstrap in April 2024 (#7635), when the user
service was still v2beta, and were never moved when it was promoted;
they surfaced in this diff only because the read-after-write fix rewrote
the surrounding functions. All four are now on stable v2.

`updateHuman` is the one that changed shape: `PUT /v2beta/users/{id}` is
`UpdateHumanUser`, whose stable-v2 counterpart `PUT
/v2/users/human/{id}` is deprecated in the proto, so it now calls `PATCH
/v2/users/{id}` (`UpdateUser`) and `manipulate_user` nests the profile
under `human`. Both RPCs land on `command.ChangeUserHuman`, so the
measured work is unchanged. `lockUser`, `deleteUser` and the
`createMachine` read-back move over unchanged in method and payload.

No published result is affected: per-endpoint latencies come from custom
Trends, and `run-bench.sh` drops the `name` system tag, so no artefact
ever recorded a v2beta URL. The remaining `/management/v1` and
`/admin/v1` calls are left alone — migrating those changes which API
surface is benchmarked and would need a re-run.

## Timestamps

Pages reported `Test start` as a bare `HH:MM`, so a run could not be
correlated against monitoring the next day. Pages now carry the full UTC
date and time and a `Test end` row, both derived from the first and last
per-second row of `output.json`. `_template.mdx` is updated to match.

## Post-mortem

`benchmark/postmortems/2026-08-27-503-burst.md` records two bursts of
HTTP 503 `Service error -27` — an HTML page from the Google frontend,
not a ZITADEL error — on `manipulate_user` and `human_password_login`,
six hours apart. **The investigation is open**, and the note is explicit
about what is established (no container startups; the two bursts have
opposite server-side signatures), what is provisionally ruled out
(restart, panic), and what is not yet known. It is included because both
affected pages report the 503s as a separate population from the ZITADEL
failures beside them, and that split needs its evidence somewhere.

It also records two defects found by accident in the collected logs,
unrelated to the 503s: `sql: transaction has already been committed or
rolled back` (232 occurrences under load) and a missing i18n key,
`"unable to get user by id" not found in language "en"`.

## Notes for review

- **`manipulate_user` ran at 200 VUs, not 600, and the page says so.**
Throughput saturates near 100 VUs; at 600 the same target produced 4,283
failed requests for identical throughput against 225 at 200 VUs. Its
failure mode is degradation over sustained single-org churn —
per-operation p50 climbs 1.7x–6x between the first and last five minutes
of a run — not a concurrency threshold.
- **Two `Observed errors` rows are hand-corrected** and deliberately
differ from the generated text, on `manipulate_user` and
`human_password_login`. Both cases are one generated number covering two
unrelated failure populations; each page says it was corrected and why.
- Org deletion failing with a 500 (`V3-C8l3V`) after heavy user churn is
already tracked as #8510 and was hit repeatedly during cleanup.
- **The run/publish tooling is no longer part of this PR.** It moved to
a private repository, along with the cloud collection scripts, because
deployment identity does not belong here. What remains is the published
pages, the post-mortem findings and the harness fixes.

8de625dc48 docs(oidc): remove stale back-channel logout unimplemented notice (#12660)
<!-- CURSOR_AGENT_PR_BODY_BEGIN -->
# Which Problems Are Solved

- The OIDC logout guide still claimed Back-Channel Logout was not
implemented in ZITADEL, even though the feature is supported and
documented elsewhere.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Removed the outdated "This is not yet implemented in ZITADEL" callout
from the Back-Channel Logout section of the logout guide.
- Added a short note linking to the dedicated [OIDC Back-Channel
Logout](/guides/integrate/back-channel-logout) guide.
- Left the Front-Channel Logout "not yet implemented" callout unchanged,
since that mechanism is still unsupported.

# Additional Changes

- None.

# Additional Context

8e442ed4bc fix(oidc): allow OrgRoleIDScope downscoping in token exchange (#12563)
# Which Problems Are Solved

- Token exchange rejects `urn:zitadel:iam:org:roles🆔{orgID}` when
that scope is not already present on the subject or actor token
(`invalid_scope`).
- A documented least-privilege pattern — exchanging a broad access token
for one whose roles claims are limited to a single organization — has
been broken since the v4.15.3 token-exchange hardening and was not
restored by #12312.
- A naive allow-any-`roles:id` exception would let a previously narrowed
token widen again (switch org filter, or drop the filter and get all
role orgs), including via an actor token's filter on actor-path
exchanges.
- A client-requested bare `urn:zitadel:iam:org:roles🆔` (empty org id)
is not a meaningful filter and should be rejected on exchange.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Treats `OrgRoleIDScope` as a restriction filter with downscope-only
semantics via `applyOrgRoleIDScopeDownscoping(requested,
ceilingScopes)`:
- union / standard exchange passes the **subject** token scopes as the
ceiling (actor filters ignored)
- impersonation (scopeless `user_id` / `id_token` subject) passes the
**actor** token scopes as the ceiling
- ceiling unfiltered → any requested `roles:id` is allowed (broad →
narrow)
  - ceiling filtered → requested filters must be ⊆ that set
- ceiling filtered but request omits them → inherit the ceiling (omit
must not re-widen)
- Rejects a **client-requested** bare `urn:zitadel:iam:org:roles🆔` in
`validateTokenExchangeScopes` after normalize (before empty-request
fallback). Input tokens may still carry the bare prefix as a degenerate
ceiling; empty-request / omit inherit does not re-trigger the rejection.
- Keeps non-restriction scopes on the existing subject ∪ actor presence
checks.
- Adds unit coverage for downscope, further downscope, widen rejection,
omit-inherit, mixed subject/actor filters, empty-scope access/JWT
subjects, and bare-prefix request/ceiling cases.
- Adds an integration test for broad → `roles:id` filtered roles, plus a
second exchange that rejects widening to another org.
- Documents downscope-only and omit-inherit behavior in the reserved
scopes table and the token exchange guide.

# Additional Changes

- Updates the token-exchange guide Scope section to reflect that
authorization-related reserved scopes must already be present on input
tokens (aligned with the v4.15.3 hardening), rather than suggesting
scope can be freely extended.

# Additional Context

- Closes #12413
- Follow-up for PR #12312
- Related discussion in #11869 (recommended `roles:id` workaround; this
restores that path for token exchange without allowing filter widening)
- Behavior note for release notes: during token exchange, an existing
`urn:zitadel:iam:org:roles🆔*` filter on the subject is inherited when
omitted from the request, so role claims cannot re-widen.

27ce10276b docs: create knowledge gap ID 65 (#12646)
Automatically generated PR resolving Knowledge Gap ID 65.

**Thread ID:** manual-1787771291264
**Action:** CREATE
**New File:**
`apps/docs/content/guides/integrate/login-ui/fork-and-deploy-login-app.mdx`

### AI Summary
> My recommendation is to publish a a new Deploy & Operate guide for the
Login App, then link to it from the existing Login App page. The
existing pages address architecture/development, login-client
authorization, and Login V2 adoption separately, but none currently
explains long-term fork ownership and upgrades. (Contribution guide,
login-client setup, adoption guide)

The article should cover:

Full-repository fork as the simplest current recommendation.
The customer’s history-preserving slim-fork approach as an advanced
alternative.
Why copying only apps/login is unsafe while the current npm packages
remain unavailable, linked to #12250.
Release-tag pinning and versioning such as v4.17.0-custom.1.
Development, generation, linting, tests, and Docker builds.
An EKS/Kubernetes Deployment and Service example.
PAT handling through ZITADEL_SERVICE_USER_TOKEN_FILE.
Same-origin versus separate-domain proxy requirements.
Gradual rollout, break-glass access, rollback, and troubleshooting.
A repeatable upstream synchronization and release process.

### Human Reviewer Instructions
> Sample content:
> Maintain and deploy a customized ZITADEL Login UI
> 
> The ZITADEL Login UI is an MIT-licensed Next.js application maintained
in the ZITADEL monorepo. You can customize and deploy it independently,
but your fork becomes an application that your team must build, test,
secure, monitor, and update.
> 
> This guide describes the current workflow for maintaining a customized
Login UI. It is intended for teams that need source-code changes beyond
the branding and text customization available through ZITADEL settings.
> 
> If you only need to change colors, logos, fonts, or translated login
text, first use ZITADEL's supported branding and customization settings.
A source fork creates an ongoing maintenance responsibility.
> 
> Understand the source dependencies
> 
> The Login UI is not currently an isolated project in the repository.
Its relevant dependency chain is:
> 
> apps/login
> └── packages/zitadel-client
>     └── packages/zitadel-proto
>         └── proto
> 
> The root pnpm workspace and Nx configuration also participate in
installing, generating, testing, and building these projects. Copying
only apps/login can therefore fail or silently separate the UI from the
API definitions against which it was developed.
> 
> For the current monorepo workflow, keep the Login UI and these
workspace dependencies on the same upstream ZITADEL revision.
> 
> Choose a fork strategy
> 
> Full repository fork — recommended
> 
> Fork the complete zitadel/zitadel repository and limit your own
changes to apps/login wherever possible. This is the simplest model to
understand and the least likely to miss a new build-time dependency when
upstream changes.
> 
> Use two remotes:
> 
> git clone [email protected]:YOUR_ORGANIZATION/zitadel.git
> cd zitadel
> git remote add upstream https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel.git
> git fetch upstream --tags
> 
> Start customization from a released tag rather than an arbitrary
commit on main:
> 
> git checkout -b custom-login/vX.Y.Z vX.Y.Z
> 
> Replace vX.Y.Z with the ZITADEL release you have selected. A release
tag gives you a reproducible compatibility baseline and a corresponding
changelog.
> 
> History-preserving slim fork — advanced
> 
> If repository size or internal policy makes a full fork impractical,
you can maintain a filtered fork containing only:
> 
> apps/login
> 
> packages/zitadel-client
> 
> packages/zitadel-proto
> 
> proto
> 
> the root pnpm, lockfile, Node, and Nx configuration required by those
projects
> 
> Use git filter-repo identically both when bootstrapping the fork and
during every later synchronization. The list of retained paths and all
filter arguments must remain stable so that freshly filtered upstream
history shares commit ancestry with your fork.
> 
> Important constraints for this model:
> 
> Bootstrap and update with one shared filtering implementation; do not
duplicate the path list in separate scripts.
> 
> Merge the initial import and subsequent update branches with a merge
commit or fast-forward. Do not squash them, because squashing removes
the filtered upstream ancestry needed for future three-way merges.
> 
> Treat any change to the retained path list as a new bootstrap. Adding
or removing paths rewrites the filtered commit IDs.
> 
> Re-run pnpm install after filtering or merging so the lockfile is
reconciled with the retained workspace.
> 
> Review the retained path list whenever upstream changes the Login
build graph.
> 
> This is a valid Git maintenance technique, but it adds machinery that
ZITADEL's normal build does not require. Own and test the filtering
automation as part of your fork.
> 
> Why a standalone apps/login copy is not recommended today
> 
> At the time of writing, current @zitadel/client and @zitadel/proto
releases are not available as version-matched npm dependencies for the
Login UI. The application consumes their workspace sources from the
monorepo. Until version-matched packages are published, retain those
sources rather than replacing the workspace dependencies with old npm
versions. Progress is tracked in zitadel/zitadel#12250.
> 
> Configure a development environment
> 
> The current contribution guide requires Node.js 22.x, Corepack/pnpm,
and Nx. From the repository root:
> 
> corepack enable
> pnpm install
> pnpm nx run-many --target generate
> 
> To develop the Login UI against an existing ZITADEL instance, create
apps/login/.env.dev.local:
> 
> ZITADEL_API_URL=https://your-zitadel-instance.example.com
> ZITADEL_SERVICE_USER_TOKEN=your-login-client-pat
> 
> Do not commit this file or its token. ZITADEL_API_URL must not have a
trailing slash.
> 
> Start the development server:
> 
> pnpm nx run @zitadel/login:dev
> 
> The token must belong to a machine user with the Instance Login Client
role (IAM_LOGIN_CLIENT). See Connect your self-hosted Login UI to
ZITADEL for the supported setup.
> 
> Run the required quality checks
> 
> Run the checks for all three affected projects, not only the Next.js
application:
> 
> pnpm nx run-many \
>   --projects @zitadel/login @zitadel/client @zitadel/proto \
>   --targets lint build test
> 
> If your update includes .proto changes, regenerate the TypeScript
clients before testing:
> 
> pnpm nx run @zitadel/proto:generate
> 
> For meaningful Login UI changes, also perform end-to-end tests against
a staging ZITADEL instance. At minimum, cover the authentication methods
and policies you enable in production:
> 
> Authorization Code Flow with PKCE and callback to the application
> 
> password, passkey, external identity provider, and applicable MFA/OTP
flows
> 
> registration, account selection, password reset, verification, and
logout
> 
> organization-specific policies, branding, and translated text
> 
> expected negative cases such as invalid or expired codes
> 
> desktop and mobile browsers supported by your application
> 
> Build an immutable image
> 
> The repository's documented Docker build flow is:
> 
> pnpm nx run @zitadel/login:build
> docker build -t
registry.example.com/identity/zitadel-login:vX.Y.Z-custom.1 apps/login
> docker push
registry.example.com/identity/zitadel-login:vX.Y.Z-custom.1
> 
> Use an immutable tag that records both the upstream ZITADEL baseline
and your customization revision. For example:
> 
> v4.17.0-custom.1
> 
> Also retain the source commit and image digest in your release record.
Do not deploy a mutable latest tag to production.
> 
> Deploy outside Vercel
> 
> Vercel is not required. The Login UI can run as the Node.js
application produced by the Next.js build or as a container. In
Kubernetes or EKS, run it as a separate Deployment and Service behind
your ingress or load balancer.

c9d747d407 fix(api): prevent cross-instance caching of well-known app link files (#12644)
# Which Problems Are Solved

The `/.well-known/apple-app-site-association` and
`/.well-known/assetlinks.json` responses are instance specific: the body
depends on the requested host. The responses did not declare this, so a
shared cache whose cache key does not include the host could store one
instance's file and serve it on another instance's domain. This could
result in a wrong or empty file being returned intermittently, breaking
native passkey verification.

Dropping the `public` directive (#12634) was not sufficient: depending
on its cache mode, a shared cache may store any response carrying a
`max-age`.

The docs page for native app links also still documented the old
`Cache-Control: public` header and only the single `get_login_creds`
relation (missing `handle_all_urls`, added in #12634).

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Send **`Vary: Host`** on both well-known responses, declaring that the
body depends on the host: a spec-compliant shared cache must store
per-host variants or skip caching. Clients addressing a single host (the
Apple and Google verifiers, browsers) are unaffected and keep honoring
the configured `max-age`.
- Correct the outdated caching reasoning in the code comments.
- Guard the header with unit and integration tests.
- Update the native app links docs page: both Digital Asset Links
relations and the current response headers.

# Additional Changes

None. `WellKnown.AppLinksCacheControlMaxAge` behavior is unchanged (`0`
still results in `no-store`).

# Additional Context

- Follow-up to #12634; relates to #12497.
- Verified with interleaved requests against two instances: responses
are no longer reused across domains, and each domain consistently serves
its own configuration.
- To be cherry-picked to `v4.x` from `main` once merged.

Marco A.andGitHub 6fdb74593c docs: remove outdated Actions v2 feature flag references (#12641)
# Which Problems Are Solved

The docs ([Actions v2 concepts
page](https://zitadel.com/docs/concepts/features/actions_v2) and the
Actions testing guides) state that Actions v2 must be enabled via the
"Actions" feature flag. That flag no longer exists — it is `reserved` in
`proto/zitadel/feature/v2/instance.proto` and `system.proto` — and
Actions v2 is available by default. The callout even linked to a
non-existent API field.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Removed the stale feature-flag callout (and the roadmap teaser
callout) from `concepts/features/actions_v2.mdx`.
- Removed the "Your ZITADEL instance needs to have the actions feature
enabled." prerequisite bullet from the seven
`guides/integrate/actions/testing-*.mdx` guides.

Pure deletions, 17 lines across 8 files.

# Additional Context

The `SetInstanceFeatures` mentions in `hosted-login.mdx` and
`webkeys.mdx` refer to flags that still exist and are untouched.

a1a4572303 chore(deps): update npm dependencies and clean up pnpm overrides (#12592)
# Which Problems Are Solved

Several dependencies across the workspace had fallen behind their latest
patch releases, and the override list in pnpm-workspace.yaml had
drifted: many of the 28 entries were no longer needed because the
dependency tree had already moved past them, while a few enforced
outdated version floors.

# How the Problems Are Solved

Direct dependencies were updated where newer patch releases were
available: `@angular/*` → ^21.2.19, `next` → 16.2.11 (docs and login,
incl. `@next/eslint-plugin-next`), `nx` → 22.7.7, and `js-yaml` → ^4.3.1
/ `postcss` → ^8.5.23 in docs. The lockfile was regenerated from scratch
so all transitive dependencies resolve to the newest versions within
their allowed ranges. With that in place, the override list was rebuilt
down to the 8 entries that are still required because a parent package
pins an older version (axios and brace-expansion via nx, postcss and
sharp via next, esbuild via tsx, uuid via testcontainers, and the two
OpenTelemetry packages); the other 20 overrides were removed. A
verification pass confirmed the resolved versions stay at or above the
floors the removed overrides used to enforce, and `pnpm audit` comes
back clean.

6127b567e7 feat(oidc): provide actor information in userinfo actions (#12566)
# Which Problems Are Solved

Expose impersonating actor to `preAccessToken` and `preUserinfo`
actions.

# How the Problems Are Solved

Provide the `actor` information already present in the OIDC session
model of JWT token to the relevant actions. Both goja-based actions "v1"
and webhook based execution targets carry the actor information now.
Actor remains null in case of non-impersonated tokens. Actor may contain
nested actors to display a delegation chain of impersonators.

# Additional Changes

- dba6261c8ed0dfd00ffde6193910b1405b17432f: refactor `userinfoFlows` to
reduce complexity, add test coverage and solve a couple of potential
bugs.
- `getClientId` in actions was previously undocumented. Added to
documentation.
- A skill that reproduces manual testing using webhook.site or a local
sink.

# Additional Context

- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/12097

318bfc36d7 feat: native app links for passkeys (#12580)
# Which Problems Are Solved

- Native iOS/Android passkeys need OS trust files on the ZITADEL domain;
without them, Associated Domains / App Links verification fails.
- Operators could not configure iOS Team ID + Bundle ID or Android
package name + SHA-256 fingerprints on OIDC apps.
- `/.well-known/apple-app-site-association` and
`/.well-known/assetlinks.json` were not served from application config.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Add iOS/Android app-link fields on OIDC app create/update (Application
API v2 + Management), with validation.
- Persist and project those fields; query active app-link configs
instance-wide.
- Serve AASA (`webcredentials`) and Digital Asset Links
(`get_login_creds`) from well-known paths, with configurable
`Cache-Control` and fingerprint normalization at serve time.
- Console UI to edit the fields, with links to the well-known endpoints.
- Operator docs for configuration, endpoints, caching, and verification.

# Additional Changes

- Document on API fields that well-known responses may be HTTP-cached
and platform verifiers may delay propagation.
- Runtime config: `WellKnown.AppLinksCacheControlMaxAge` (default `5m`;
`0` → `no-store`).

# Additional Context

- Closes #12497
- Implemented and reviewed as stack:
  - #12531 API contract
  - #12532 storage wiring
  - #12536 well-known endpoints

2bd42e8fc4 fix(actions): allow adding raw metadata values via appendMetadataRaw (#12567)
# Which Problems Are Solved

Since #10666 (v4.1+, backported to v4.x), metadata values set through
actions v1 (`api.metadata.push` and `api.v1.user.appendMetadata`) are
always JSON-encoded via `json.Marshal`. This made the write path
consistent with the JSON-based read path, but removed the ability to
store raw (unencoded) metadata values:

- A scalar string is now always stored quoted (`"de"` instead of `de`).
- The previous byte-array convention (mapping a string to an integer
array in the script, handled by `mapBytesToByteArray` introduced in
#5526) now stores the literal integer-array text (e.g. `[100,101]`)
instead of the raw bytes.

Customers migrating from v3.x whose downstream systems base64-decode
metadata values from tokens and expect raw bytes have no way to produce
them anymore — changing the consuming system is not always possible.

Reverting the default is not an option either, as clients that adopted
actions v1 on v4.x now rely on the JSON encoding.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Adds a new, opt-in function `api.v1.user.appendMetadataRaw(key,
value)` to the actions v1 login flows (external / internal
authentication post authentication and pre creation), next to the
existing `appendMetadata`.
- The value is stored as raw bytes without JSON encoding:
  - a string is stored as its plain UTF-8 bytes (`de`, not `"de"`)
- byte arrays (`Uint8Array` or a plain array of integers 0-255, the old
convention) are stored as-is, so existing v3 scripts using a
string-to-byte-array helper only need to switch the function name
  - other types (and empty values) throw an error
- The existing `appendMetadata` and `api.metadata.push` behavior remains
byte-for-byte unchanged.

# Additional Changes

- Documented `appendMetadataRaw` (and the JSON encoding behavior of
`appendMetadata`) in the external and internal authentication actions
docs.
- Added unit tests for the new function (through a real goja runtime)
and a test locking in the existing `appendMetadata` JSON-encoding
behavior.

# Additional Context

- Regression introduced as a side effect of #10666 (which fixed #10470);
the raw byte handling was originally introduced in #5526.
- Reported by a customer upgrading from v3.4.x to v4.16.x, whose
PostAuthentication action maps token payload claims into user metadata.
- Requires backport to v4.x.

jmaretteandGitHub 9070b537d2 feat(oidc): add RFC 7592 dynamic client management (#12315)
# Which Problems Are Solved

#12313 lets clients register themselves as OIDC applications (RFC 7591),
but a dynamically registered client has no way to manage itself
afterwards:

- The registration response returns no `registration_access_token` and
no `registration_client_uri`, which RFC 7591 and 7592 clients (including
the MCP SDKs) expect in order to manage their own registration.
- There is no way to read back, update or delete a registration without
an operator acting on the client's behalf through the Console or the
Management API. A client that needs to rotate a redirect URI has to ask
a human.

# How the Problems Are Solved

Implement the [OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration Management Protocol
(RFC 7592)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7592): `GET`, `PUT`
and `DELETE` on `/oauth/v2/register/{client_id}`, wired through the same
`op.WithSetRouter` hook as the registration endpoint.

## Control plane: the same security settings, no new switch

The management endpoints are gated on the
`DynamicClientRegistrationSettings.enabled` introduced in #12313. No new
setting, no feature flag: a client that may register may manage what it
registered. When registration is disabled the endpoints answer `404`,
exactly as `POST /oauth/v2/register` does.

`allow_unauthenticated` selects the registration mode and does not apply
here, because the registration access token authorizes these endpoints
in both modes.

## Authorization: the registration access token, and nothing else

RFC 7592 §3 defines the credential as the registration access token
issued at registration and bound to a single client, not a user
credential. So a client manages only itself, proving it with the token
it was handed:

| | Registration (`POST`) | Management (`GET` / `PUT` / `DELETE`) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Credential | Access token, or none in open mode | Registration access
token |
| Permission | `project.app.register_dynamic` in token mode | None |

Neither `project.app.register_dynamic`, which governs who may *create*
clients, nor `project.app.write` applies to the management endpoints.
One authorization path per endpoint is easier to reason about than two,
and there is no user identity to check against in the first place.
Operators keep managing dynamically registered clients through the
Management API and the Console, like any other application; they cannot
obtain a client's registration access token, by design.

Status codes: a missing, malformed or non matching token is `401`; a
client that no longer exists is `404`. The token's `client_id` is
checked against the path before any lookup, so a token bound to another
client is rejected without touching the database.

## The token itself

- **Stored like a client secret.** Only its passwap hash is persisted,
through a new
`project.application.config.oidc.registration_token.changed` event; the
plain token leaves the server exactly once, in the response that issues
it.
- **Bound to its client and organization** through authenticated
encryption with the instance key, the same mechanism as refresh tokens.
The opaque token handed to the client encrypts
`client_id:org_id:secret`, so the endpoint recovers the binding before
checking the secret against the stored hash.
- **Verified in O(1)** against the hash on the projection, folded into
the client lookup the handler already does, with a strongly consistent
fallback to the eventstore so a token that was just rotated is accepted
before it is projected.
- **Rotated on update** (RFC 7592 §4.4) and invalidated implicitly when
the client is deleted. A read does not rotate it. Every update rotates,
including one that changes no metadata, so a client always gets a usable
token back.

## Reusing the existing persistence

A small refactor extracts the shared OIDC application creation and
update logic (`pushOIDCApplication` gains a variadic `extraEvents`, and
`oidcApplicationChangeEvent` is lifted out of `UpdateOIDCApplication`),
so the dynamic commands reuse it without the permission check. The
registration token event is pushed atomically with the application, so a
registered client is never left unmanageable.

# Additional Changes

- Setup step **74** adds the `registration_token` column to the
`apps7_oidc_configs` projection, with a reducer for the new event
modelled on the client secret. Applications are not part of the
relational storage projection, so there is no second write path to keep
in sync.
- The registration response (`POST`) now also carries
`registration_access_token` and `registration_client_uri`.
- Docs: a "Manage a registration" section in the dynamic client
registration guide covering the three operations, the authorization
model, token rotation and the new limitations, plus the management
endpoints on the OIDC endpoints page.
- Unit tests for the command layer (issue, verify, rotate, update,
delete), the projection reducer, and the token binding and response
mapping. An integration test covers the full lifecycle (register, read,
update with rotation, delete, read again with `404`), a token bound to
another client, and the endpoints not being served when registration is
disabled. None of the integration calls carries a user access token,
which pins down that the management endpoints require no permission of
their own.

# Additional Context

- Part of the MCP authorization effort in #9810. Follow-up to #12313
(RFC 7591), which is now merged; this branch has been rebased on `main`
and carries the settings and authorization model agreed there.
- **Open question for the review**: the authorization model above
(registration access token only, no operator path through these
endpoints) is the one I proposed when #12313 was reviewed, but it was
never explicitly confirmed. If you would rather have `project.app.write`
also grant access to a client in the operator's own organization, that
is a contained change in `authorizeClientManagement`.
- Rotation is eventually consistent: right after an update the previous
token may keep working for a brief moment until the rotation is
projected, while the new token works immediately through the eventstore
fallback. This matches how ZITADEL validates access tokens, where
revocation is likewise eventually consistent. It is documented in the
guide and asserted as such in the integration test.
- A database migration is introduced for the new projection column. No
proto change and no new feature flag.
- Verified locally: full build, `go vet` including `-tags integration`,
`golangci-lint` with 0 issues, and the unit suites for every touched
package. As before, I cannot run the integration suite here, so CI
remains the check on it.

jmaretteandGitHub f34cc45eac feat(oidc): add RFC 7591 dynamic client registration (#12313)
# Which Problems Are Solved

ZITADEL cannot currently be used as an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server by
clients that need to register themselves at runtime:

- There is no [OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration (RFC
7591)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7591) endpoint, and no
`registration_endpoint` is advertised in the discovery document.
- This blocks [Model Context Protocol
(MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) clients (Claude Desktop,
claude.ai, Cursor, the MCP SDKs), whose OAuth 2.1 authorization profile
expects an Authorization Server that supports dynamic client
registration. They self-register before any user context exists and only
then start the authorization code + PKCE flow.

# How the Problems Are Solved

## Control plane: instance security settings

No feature flag and no runtime config. A
`DynamicClientRegistrationSettings` message is nested under the instance
`SecuritySettings` in `settings/v2`, next to `embedded_iframe` and
`enable_impersonation`:

| `enabled` | `allow_unauthenticated` | Behaviour |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `false` (default) | — | `POST /oauth/v2/register` returns `404`,
`registration_endpoint` absent from discovery |
| `true` | `false` (default) | Token-gated registration, client homed in
the token's organization |
| `true` | `true` | Open registration for MCP hosts, client homed in the
instance default organization |

Both values are carried on `authz.Instance` and loaded with the
instance, exactly like `EnableImpersonation`, so the discovery document
and the endpoint read them per request without an extra query.
`allow_unauthenticated` implies `enabled` in both implementations, so a
single setting closes the endpoint.

Adding the two columns bumps the projection table to
`projections.security_policies3`, following what the impersonation
setting did for `security_policies2`.

## Authorization: a dedicated permission, not `project.app.write`

- New org-scoped permission **`project.app.register_dynamic`**, granted
by default to `ORG_OWNER`, `IAM_OWNER` and `IAM_ORG_MANAGER` — in both
`InternalAuthZ` and `SystemAuthZ`, mirroring where `project.app.write`
already lives.
- New built-in role **`ORG_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_REGISTRAR`** carrying only
that permission, so a service user can self-register clients without
gaining write access to the organization's existing applications.
- Open mode (`allow_unauthenticated = true`) requires no token and no
permission: that is the MCP self-register path.
- A valid token whose user lacks the permission is answered with **`403
insufficient_scope`** (RFC 6750 §3.1) rather than `401 invalid_token`,
so a caller can tell "your token is bad" from "your token may not do
this". `verifyAccessToken` also reports invalid tokens as permission
denied, so the authorization failure is marked explicitly to keep the
two apart.

The check runs once, at the endpoint, right after the token is verified
and before any state is created, so it also gates the auto-provisioning
of the organization's DCR project. The permission itself lives in the
command layer next to the others
(`Commands.CheckPermissionRegisterDynamicClient`). As the OIDC endpoints
are not behind the authorization interceptor, the caller identity is
derived from the verified token, the way token exchange does for the
impersonating actor.

## Registration itself

- **Registered clients are ordinary OIDC applications.** The endpoint
reuses the existing application-creation events
(`NewApplicationAddedEvent` and `NewOIDCConfigAddedEvent`), so the whole
token, authorization and introspection flow keeps working unchanged.
They are stored in a dedicated, auto-provisioned project named `ZITADEL
DCR` per organization (name lookup), so they do not pollute the
`IAMProject` or other projects.
- Input is validated with the existing `GetOIDCV1Compliance` rules;
`private_key_jwt` and `jwks`/`jwks_uri` are rejected with
`invalid_client_metadata`.
- **Endpoint wiring without forking the library.** `NewServer` calls
`op.RegisterServer` instead of `op.RegisterLegacyServer`, so the new
route can be added through the same `op.WithSetRouter` hook as the
authorize callback. `op.RegisterLegacyServer` appends a middleware after
the caller options, which chi forbids once a route has been registered;
`op.NewIssuerInterceptor` reproduces the issuer middleware it would
otherwise add. The `/oauth/v2` routing prefix is unchanged.

# Additional Changes

- **`application_type` inference for custom-scheme redirects** (last
commit, isolated). `application_type` is an OpenID Connect member; RFC
7591 does not define it, so clients that only implement RFC 7591 omit
it. Native MCP hosts doing so register custom-scheme redirect URIs,
which ZITADEL reserves for native applications, and the OIDC default of
`web` rejected them with `invalid_redirect_uri`. Inference is limited to
custom schemes and to an absent `application_type`, so every request
accepted today keeps its current application type and auth method — an
`http` loopback redirect still yields a web application. Happy to drop
this commit if you would rather keep it out of this PR.
- **Docs**: a Dynamic Client Registration integration guide, a
`registration_endpoint` section on the OpenID Connect endpoints page,
and the new role in the administrators table (plus its description in
the Console translations).

# Additional Context

- Part of #9810. This is **Phase 1 (DCR)**; #12315 adds RFC 7592 and
#12316 adds CIMD, both stacked on this branch and rebased once this
lands.
- Implements the control-plane and authorization model requested in the
review of this PR, itself a refinement of the direction in
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9810#issuecomment-4891176997.
- **Out of scope (deliberately)**: RFC 7592, CIMD, persisting free-form
metadata (`logo_uri`, `contacts`, and similar), and `private_key_jwt` /
`jwks_uri` (rejected cleanly). No new event types.
- Follow-ups explicitly left out, per the review: DCR client lifecycle
and richer audit, consent and custom scopes, JWT / `aud` (RFC 8707), and
RFC 8414 AS metadata (currently absent from both ZITADEL and
`zitadel/oidc`).

87538f29e1 docs: prefix legacy V1 API paths in generated OpenAPI (#12491)
# Which Problems Are Solved

- Generated V1 API reference docs are missing their base path prefixes
(e.g. `/admin/v1`, `/auth/v1`, `/management/v1`, `/system/v1`).
- Endpoint pages show routes like `/healthz` instead of
`/admin/v1/healthz`.

This happens because V1 protos still define `base_path` via legacy
OpenAPI v2 swagger annotations, while docs generation uses
`protoc-gen-connect-openapi`, which ignores those annotations and emits
the bare `google.api.http` paths.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- After OpenAPI generation in
`apps/docs/scripts/generate-proto-docs.mjs`, apply a small hardcoded map
of the four legacy V1 services and prepend the correct prefix to each
path in the generated specs.
- The rewrite is idempotent (`startsWith(prefix)`), so already-prefixed
paths are left alone.
- Because the prefixes are written into the generated OpenAPI files,
Fumadocs MDX generation and runtime page rendering stay in sync.

# Additional Changes

- None.

# Additional Context

- V1 APIs are legacy and frozen; hardcoding the four known prefixes is
simpler and more reliable than dynamically scraping `.proto` files.
- Changing the protos or dual-generating with `openapiv2` would be much
more invasive for a docs-only issue.
- Verified locally for Admin, Auth, Management, and System pages (e.g.
`/admin/v1/healthz`, `/management/v1/users/{id}`).

Florian ForsterandGitHub 437a0802bd docs: document initial admin password requirements in compose guide (#12452)
# Which Problems Are Solved

- The **Harden secrets** section of the Docker Compose guide lists
commands for the masterkey and the two database passwords, but never
mentions the **initial admin user password**.
- Setting `ZITADEL_FIRSTINSTANCE_ORG_HUMAN_PASSWORD` to a value that
does not meet the default password complexity policy fails the initial
setup with a `_password_complexity_model` error, and the requirements
were not documented anywhere near the other secrets.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Adds a short note directly below the secret-generation commands
documenting the initial admin password: the default (`Password1!` /
`[email protected]`), how to override it via
`ZITADEL_FIRSTINSTANCE_ORG_HUMAN_PASSWORD`, and the default complexity
requirements (min 8 chars, upper + lower + number + symbol).
- Links to the [Password
Complexity](/guides/manage/console/default-settings#password-complexity)
policy docs and notes that the variable only applies during initial
setup.

# Additional Changes

None.

# Additional Context

- Reported by a self-hosting user (TrueNAS + Ansible) who hit repeated
setup errors because the initial admin password complexity requirement
was not documented alongside the masterkey/DB password commands.

75bc058bce feat(eventstore): autovacuum tuning for events2 table (#12449)
# Which Problems Are Solved

In Zitadel's append-only event-sourced architecture, the
`eventstore.events2` table grows indefinitely. PostgreSQL's default
autovacuum uses a percentage-based scale factor, so as the table grows,
the number of changed rows required to trigger a `VACUUM` or `ANALYZE`
drifts towards infinity. Without regular vacuums, the table's Visibility
Map becomes stale, disabling fast Index-Only Scans and forcing expensive
heap reads. Without regular analyzes, query planner statistics become
stale, leading to suboptimal execution plans.

This causes eventstore operations to progressively degrade as `events2`
grows, even without CPU, memory, or I/O saturation. A manual `VACUUM
ANALYZE` immediately restores performance, confirming the root cause.

- If `Eventstore.Autovacuum` is left at its default, `events2` keeps
using PostgreSQL's default, percentage-based autovacuum/autoanalyze
scale factors, which become impractically infrequent on large tables.
- There was previously no supported way to apply static, table-level
autovacuum tuning to `events2` through Zitadel's own configuration/setup
process.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Added an `Eventstore.Autovacuum` runtime configuration block to
`cmd/defaults.yaml` (disabled by default):
  ```yaml
  Eventstore:
    Autovacuum:
      Enabled: false # ZITADEL_EVENTSTORE_AUTOVACUUM_ENABLED
VacuumThreshold: 50000 # ZITADEL_EVENTSTORE_AUTOVACUUM_VACUUMTHRESHOLD
AnalyzeThreshold: 50000 # ZITADEL_EVENTSTORE_AUTOVACUUM_ANALYZETHRESHOLD
  ```
- Added a repeatable `zitadel setup` migration step
(`cmd/setup/eventstore_autovacuum.go`) that:
- When `Enabled: true`, disables the percentage-based
`autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor`, `autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor`, and
`autovacuum_vacuum_insert_scale_factor` on `eventstore.events2`, and
applies static thresholds (`autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold`,
`autovacuum_vacuum_threshold`, `autovacuum_analyze_threshold`) from the
config instead.
- When `Enabled: false`, resets those storage parameters on
`eventstore.events2` back to the cluster defaults.
- Implements `Repeatable.Check()` so the step only re-runs when the
configuration actually changed since the last `zitadel setup` run.
  - Added documentation in the new "Performance tuning" page.
 
# Additional Changes

- Move the projection documentation into performance tuning page
- Expand and update the projection documentation to the latest state in
zitadel. (contained some stale information)

# Additional Context

Several other issues describe read-performance symptoms consistent with
this same root cause (stale `events2` visibility map / planner
statistics at scale, without resource saturation). Since this PR
addresses the shared root cause:

- Closes #12448
- Closes #10754
- Closes #10260
- Closes #8585
- Closes #9239

6bd46c5fb6 feat(login): idp userAction oneof (#12433)
Closes #11369

# Which Problems Are Solved

During SSO login with an external IdP, Actions v2 lets you manipulate
the `RetrieveIdentityProviderIntent` response to shape the user that
ZITADEL creates or updates. There was an inconsistency between the two
flows:

- **First login (user does not exist):** the response carried an
`addHumanUser` object (mirroring the deprecated `AddHumanUser` API),
which **does** allow setting user `metadata`.
- **Subsequent logins (user exists):** the response carried an
`updateHumanUser` object (mirroring the deprecated `UpdateHumanUser`
API), which does **not** support metadata.

As a result, actions could set metadata when creating a user but not
when updating one. Customers doing SSO attribute mapping had to make a
separate `SetUserMetadata` call on every subsequent login — extra
latency and a non-atomic update. The proto/backend already gained a
non-deprecated `user_action` oneof (`create_user` → `CreateUserRequest`,
`update_user` → `UpdateUserRequest`, both supporting metadata), but the
login app was still reading the deprecated flat fields, so the new
capability was unreachable from the frontend.

# How the Problems Are Solved

Migrate the login app's IDP intent handler to consume the new
`user_action` oneof, with a fallback to the deprecated fields so older
API responses keep working during the transition.

- **`zitadel.ts`** — added `createUser` / `updateUser` client wrappers
calling the non-deprecated `UserService.CreateUser` /
`UserService.UpdateUser` endpoints.
- **`idp-intent.ts`** — added three helpers, each preferring
`user_action` and falling back to `add_human_user` /
`update_human_user`:
- `resolveCreateUser` — flat read view for org resolution,
required-field checks, and registration-form pre-fill.
- `buildCreateUserRequest` — passes the action's `CreateUserRequest`
through and injects the resolved `organizationId`; maps the deprecated
flat payload into the nested shape on fallback.
- `buildUpdateUserRequest` — builds an `UpdateUserRequest` **including
metadata** (the fix); deliberately syncs only
profile/email/phone/metadata (not username) to preserve existing
auto-update behavior and avoid invalidating sessions.
- Rewired all handlers (`handleUserExists`, `handleAutoLinking`,
`handleAutoCreation`, `handleManualCreation`,
`resolveOrganizationForUser`) to use these, and switched auto-create to
read `CreateUserResponse.id`.
- **Tests** — updated mocks/assertions to the new request shapes and
added two cases exercising the `user_action` oneof with metadata (create
+ update). 817/817 login unit tests pass; no new type errors.

# Additional Changes

Updated the Actions v2 guide
`guides/integrate/actions/testing-response-manipulation.mdx` (the
unreleased/`latest` docs) to reflect the new response shape:

- Go handler example now manipulates `resp.GetCreateUser()` /
`resp.GetUpdateUser()` and appends `user.Metadata`, demonstrating
metadata on both flows.
- Both JSON payloads switched from `addHumanUser` to the nested
`createUser` shape (`human.profile`, `human.email`, `human.idpLinks`,
top-level `metadata`).
- Added a Callout explaining first-login → `createUser` vs.
existing-user → `updateUser`, that both support metadata, and that
`addHumanUser`/`updateHumanUser` are deprecated.
- Updated the claim-mapping debugging section to the new
`createUser.human.profile.givenName` path.

Versioned snapshots (`v4.12`/`v4.13`/`v4.14`) were intentionally left
unchanged, as they document releases where the old API was correct.

# Which Problems Are Solved

- Operators upgrading from ZITADEL v3 to v4 lacked a clear, docs-backed
upgrade path covering web keys (A-10017), Login V1 vs Login V2
expectations, and post-upgrade options.
- There was no standalone guide for adopting Login V2 after already
running on v4.
- Related ops/docs pages did not consistently point readers to the
upgrade and Login V2 adoption material.
- Kubernetes/Helm operators upgrading to a chart that ships ZITADEL v4
had no ops-page section linking the advisory, upgrade guide, optional
Login V2 deferral (`login.enabled: false`), and chart README upgrade
notes.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Adds technical advisory **A-10017** documenting OIDC web key staging
requirements before upgrading to v4.
- Adds an **upgrade-v3-to-v4** guide with the recommended upgrade path
(Login V1 remains supported; Login V2 is optional at upgrade time).
- Adds a **v4-only adopt-login-v2** guide for teams adopting Login V2
later, with steps and caveats separate from the version upgrade.
- Adds an **Upgrading to ZITADEL v4** subsection under
`self-hosting/deploy/kubernetes/operations.mdx` that links to A-10017,
the upgrade guide, Adopt Login V2, notes `login.enabled: false` when not
adopting Login V2 yet, and points to the [Helm chart
README](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel-charts/blob/main/charts/zitadel/README.md)
for chart-specific breaking changes.

# Additional Changes

- Registers new docs in the sidebar and wires Related / cross-links from
upgrade and ops pages so the advisory and guides are discoverable
together.
- Aligns language so upgrade vs. Login V2 adoption are clearly separated
concerns.
- Light cross-link updates on troubleshooting / updating-scaling /
login-client pages where related.

# Additional Context

- Related: A-10017 (web keys advisory)
- Docs paths introduced/updated:
  - `apps/docs/content/support/advisory/a10017.mdx`
  - `apps/docs/content/self-hosting/manage/upgrade-v3-to-v4.mdx`
  - `apps/docs/content/self-hosting/manage/adopt-login-v2.mdx`
- `apps/docs/content/self-hosting/deploy/kubernetes/operations.mdx` (new
"Upgrading to ZITADEL v4" section)

bc9333aef9 chore: update npm dependencies (#12375)
# Which Problems Are Solved

- npm dependencies across the monorepo are behind current patch/minor
releases.
- Transitive dependencies are pinned to older versions by parent
packages (karma, nx, @changesets/cli, etc.).
- Console build fails after the Angular toolchain update because
`angular.json` references assets outside the workspace root.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Bumps `@angular/*` to `^21.2.17` in console.
- Bumps `js-yaml` to `^4.2.0` in docs.
- Bumps `concurrently` to `^10.0.3` in login.
- Adds pnpm overrides for transitive deps that cannot be bumped directly
(ws, undici, minimatch, esbuild, dompurify, qs, and others).

# Additional Changes

- Removes 10 overrides that are no longer needed after parent packages
resolve to newer versions.
- Updates 4 existing overrides (`tar`, `js-yaml`, `dompurify`,
`brace-expansion`) to match current upstream ranges.
- 2 low-severity findings remain via the abandoned `raw-loader` package
in docs (peer dep resolution; no upstream fix without replacing
`raw-loader`).
- Fixes console build: replaced the `angular.json` asset glob
`../apps/docs/public/img/tech` with a `prebuild` script that copies tech
images into `src/assets/docs/img/tech`. **Verify at runtime that tech
images on project grant / integration pages still load.**

# Additional Context

- Overrides remain where parent packages still pin older transitive
versions.
- The `angular.json` asset path issue predates this PR (not introduced
by the Angular bump).

Livio SpringandGitHub 1e0b810dca feat: allow managing invite code in secret generators (#12109)
# Which Problems Are Solved

Zitadel exposes the secrets generator configuration through its admin
api. This allows instance admins to manage them on their own and they
can create overwrite the system / runtime defaults (incl. expiration).
This very much needed in multi-instance scenarios such as zitadel.cloud.
Currently the invite code configuration was not manageable through the
API, but only runtime config.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- added the `invite_code` type to the API allowing it to be set and
retrieved.
- added the type to console's management list
- added the type to be stored on instance setup
- change the `GetSecretGenerator` endpoint to fall back to the runtime
config if no config is stored on the instance itself
- ensure the `length` and at least one charset is enabled, return an
error otherwise
- expiry is not enforced, so 0 allows codes with no expiry (current
state)

f4f43f5248 docs: fix broken GitHub code-reference blocks after fumadocs migration (#12213)
# Which Problems Are Solved

Pages in `apps/docs` that embed source from GitHub via the Docusaurus
convention

````
```js reference

https://github.com/zitadel/actions/blob/main/examples/org_metadata_claim.js
```
````

stopped working after the migration from Docusaurus to fumadocs. The old
`docusaurus-theme-github-codeblock` plugin used to fetch the file and
render it; fumadocs has no support for that meta, so the page rendered
the raw URL as plain code-block text. Visible at
`/docs/apis/actions/code-examples` and 16 other pages.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Converted every ```` ```<lang> reference\n<URL>\n``` ```` block (46
total across 17 `.mdx` files) to the native fumadocs JSX form:
`<GithubCodeBlock url="<URL>" />`. The existing `<details>`/`<summary>`
collapsibles around blocks are kept — they're an authoring choice, not
part of the rendering bug.
- Updated `apps/docs/components/github-code-block.tsx` to render via
`DynamicCodeBlock` from `fumadocs-ui/components/dynamic-codeblock`
(proper shiki highlighting) instead of raw `CodeBlock` + `Pre` (which
produced unhighlighted output). Also fixed language detection so a URL
hash like `#L10-L20` no longer pollutes the language token.
- Registered `GithubCodeBlock` globally in
`apps/docs/mdx-components.tsx`, matching how every other shared
component (`APIPage`, `Callout`, `Tab/Tabs`, `Step/Steps`, `Admonition`,
`TerminologyUpdate`) is exposed. MDX files no longer need a local
`import`.

# Additional Changes

- Normalized the two MDX files that were already using the JSX form
(`examples/secure-api/python-django.mdx`,
`examples/secure-api/java-spring.mdx`): removed their now-redundant
local `import { GithubCodeBlock }` and rewrote 9 long-form
`<GithubCodeBlock url="..."></GithubCodeBlock>` tags to self-closing for
consistency.

# Additional Context

Verified locally with `pnpm --filter @zitadel/docs dev`:

- `/docs/apis/actions/code-examples` — 20 shiki-highlighted code blocks
rendered inside the `<details>` collapsibles (was 0).
- `/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims` — line-range hashes (`#L9-L11`)
honored.
- `/docs/examples/login/flutter` — mixed languages (xml/dart/html)
detected and highlighted.
- `/docs/guides/integrate/external-audit-log` — edge case of fenced
reference indented inside a numbered list also converted and rendered.

Greps:
- `^[ \t]*\`\`\`[a-zA-Z0-9]+ reference` in `apps/docs/content/**/*.mdx`
→ 0 matches.
- `<GithubCodeBlock url="` in `apps/docs/content/**/*.mdx` → 55 matches.
- `from '@/components/github-code-block'` in
`apps/docs/content/**/*.mdx` → 0 matches.

Federico CoppedeandGitHub b4f2da2171 docs: Add Gateway API routing to Kubernetes deployment guide (#12168)
## Description
This PR updates the Kubernetes deployment documentation to address user
feedback regarding our routing instructions. A user noted that standard
`Ingress` is becoming outdated and requested configuration examples for
the modern Gateway API.

To support both existing and modern clusters, I have updated the guide
to provide two clear pathways for exposing ZITADEL.

## Changes Included
* **Prerequisites updated:** Mentioned Gateway API controllers alongside
standard Ingress controllers.
* **Refactored Stage 2 (Production):** Split the routing configuration
into "Option A: Standard Ingress" and "Option B: Gateway API".
* **Added YAML example:** Provided a sample `HTTPRoute` resource to
route traffic to the `zitadel` and `zitadel-login` backend services.
* **Terminology updates:** Broadened terms like "Ingress" to "Routing"
or "Routing controller" where applicable.

Florian ForsterandGitHub 24d0f34f39 perf: optimize docs static generation cost (#12108)
## Summary
- Switch the docs catch-all route to full static generation and prebuild
both latest and versioned docs paths.
- Prebuild OG images for all docs pages, make sitemap and LLM export
static, and remove nondeterministic sitemap timestamps.
- Reduce build-time overhead by memoizing docs sidebar trees and
skipping processed markdown generation for versioned docs.

## Testing
- `pnpm nx run @zitadel/docs:build`
- `pnpm nx run @zitadel/docs:lint`
- `pnpm nx run @zitadel/docs:check-types`
- Verified the prerender manifest contains 8,816 prerendered routes,
3,293 versioned docs routes, 4,406 OG routes, and zero revalidating docs
routes.

Federico CoppedeandGitHub f96a9c54ac docs: clarify exp and iat claim precedence for private key JWTs (#12110)
This PR updates the "Private Key JWT Auth for Service Accounts"
documentation to explicitly clarify the relationship between the exp
(expiration) and iat (issued at) claims.

Previously, the documentation didn't make it clear what happens if a
developer sets an exp claim far into the future. This update clarifies
that while the exp value is strictly enforced, the iat claim takes
precedence if the exp is set to more than 1 hour in the future (i.e.,
ZITADEL will reject the JWT once the iat is older than 1 hour,
regardless of the exp time).

**Changes included:**

Updated the description of the exp claim in the JWT payload section to
highlight the 1-hour iat limit enforcement.
