- CORS policy via `appsettings.json`
- `AuthController` updated for httpOnly cookie (login/refresh/revoke)
- `RefreshTokenRequest.cs` removed
- `TokenResponse` updated with `Name` property
- `appsettings.json` + `appsettings.Development.json` updated

## Clarification Questions
Please answer the following questions by filling in the letter choice after the `[Answer]:` tag.
---
### Question 1: Cookie SameSite policy
The refresh token cookie will use `SameSite=Strict`. Is this correct, or should it be `SameSite=Lax`?
- `SameSite=Strict` — the cookie is only sent when the request originates from the exact same site (most secure; may cause issues if the login page is linked from an external source)
- `SameSite=Lax` — the cookie is sent on top-level navigations (e.g. clicking a link) but not on cross-site sub-requests (good balance of security and usability)
A) SameSite=Strict (as currently designed)
B) SameSite=Lax (slightly more permissive, still secure)
X) Other (please describe after [Answer]: tag below)
[Answer]: A
---
### Question 2: Cookie Secure flag in development
In local development (HTTP, not HTTPS), the `Secure` flag on the cookie will cause the browser to reject the cookie. How should this be handled?
A) Use `Secure = true` always — developer must use HTTPS locally (e.g. via `dotnet dev-certs`)
B) Set `Secure` based on environment: `true` in Production, `false` in Development
C) Set `Secure = request.IsHttps` — automatically adapts to the current request protocol
X) Other (please describe after [Answer]: tag below)
[Answer]: B
---
### Question 3: TokenResponse — Name field source
The `TokenResponse` needs a `Name` field for the user's display name. `ApplicationUser` has `UserName` (from IdentityUser) but no dedicated display name field. What should `Name` return?
A) `user.UserName` — the username is used as the display name
B) `user.Email` — the email is used as the display name
C) `user.UserName ?? user.Email` — use UserName if set, fall back to Email
X) Other — add a dedicated `DisplayName` property to `ApplicationUser` (describe below)
[Answer]: C
---
### Question 4: Revoke endpoint — authentication requirement
The current `Revoke` endpoint requires a valid Bearer token (`[Authorize]`). With the cookie-based flow, should this still require authentication?
A) Yes — keep `[Authorize]` requirement (user must have a valid access token to revoke; most secure)
B) No — remove `[Authorize]` (allows revoking even after access token expires; better UX for logout after expiry)
X) Other (please describe after [Answer]: tag below)
[Answer]: A, but make the UX still seemless and make it refresh in the background while logging out. Maybe adding a text along the line of "Securely logging out..." gives some more time.
---
### Question 5: CORS — allowed HTTP methods
Which HTTP methods should the CORS policy allow?
A) Only the methods used by the API: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
B) All methods: `AllowAnyMethod()` (simpler, allows future endpoints without CORS changes)
X) Other (please describe after [Answer]: tag below)
[Answer]: A
