# 2026-09-08 OpenEDC password authentication smoke test

## Work Done

- Reviewed the December 2025 OpenEDC API email guidance and the existing OpenEDC Supabase integration in `mono/apps/vxdata-jobs`.
- Found that the Confimedis web app exposes its public Supabase URL and anonymous key through `https://cloud.confimedis.com/api/status`.
- Added a small local smoke-test script at `~/work/playground/openedc/check_openedc.py`. It reads only the public connection config, signs in with email and password from environment variables, and prints `ok`.
- Ran the script through `op run --env-file` using secret references to the supplied 1Password item. Authentication succeeded. No OpenEDC tables, storage objects, or clinical records were queried.

## Lessons Learned: Pitfalls

- The requested shorthand path `~/work/mono/vxdata-jobs` maps to `~/work/mono/apps/vxdata-jobs` in the current monorepo. The requested `@openedc/` files were instead under `~/work/playground/openedc/`.
- The existing OpenEDC client accepts browser-extracted access and refresh tokens. That path is unsuitable for durable automation because those tokens expire quickly.

## Lessons Learned: Improvements

- Future OpenEDC jobs can authenticate with `sign_in_with_password` and obtain fresh sessions from durable user credentials.
- The public `/api/status` endpoint removes the need to copy or store the Supabase anonymous key. Secrets should remain 1Password references and be injected only into the process with `op run`.
