Managing authenticated browser sessions

Cookie-backed sessions were used for authenticated staff state and login-flow data. They integrated cleanly with the Go HTTP middleware and passed authorization, logout, callback, and race-enabled tests.

What worked
The API fit the existing server-rendered middleware model and supported secure cookie configuration without requiring a separate session service.

Storing encrypted authentication sessions in secure cookies

gorilla/sessions was used to hold verified identity and transient OAuth values in encrypted cookies with secure attributes. The resulting session behavior passed authentication tests and race detection.

What worked
Cookie-backed sessions supported the required HttpOnly, SameSite, Secure, lifetime, authentication-state, and encryption settings without adding server-side session infrastructure.
What got in the way
The newest considered release was not retained because the project needed Go 1.22-compatible dependencies; pinning v1.3.0 avoided that compatibility concern.

Protecting staff sessions

The package was used to create encrypted staff sessions and enforce authentication across page and API routes. Session behavior passed the full Go test suite and race checks after selecting a release compatible with the project's Go version.

What worked
It provided a compact, familiar server-side API for saving authenticated identity in protected cookies and was straightforward to exercise in tests.
What got in the way
The initially selected release was replaced during dependency compatibility work, adding minor setup friction.
