Why

Architecture review finding #9, second half: "Make Clerk.auth primary and fill its gaps... Move the prebuilt UI onto it, then deprecate the old layer." #1026 → #1034 → #1035 made every old entry point call one canonical implementation and filled the facade gaps the UI needed. This PR moves the prebuilt UI onto the facade, following the "Prebuilt UI call sites → facade equivalent" table in #1034. It is the UI-migration step before the deprecation PR.

Stack: #1026 → #1034 → #1035 → this PR → deprecation PR (stacked on this one).

Scope

Call-site swaps only. Each new call sends the same request as the old one, because the facade method delegates to the same implementation (see the #1034 matrix):

File Before After
AuthStartViewModel SignIn.create(Passkey, preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials = true) Clerk.auth.signInWithPasskey(preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials = true)
SignIn.create(Identifier(identifier)) Clerk.auth.signIn { identifier = … }
SignUp.create(Standard(email / phone / username, unsafeMetadata)) Clerk.auth.signUp { … }. The signUpParams helper is gone.
SignIn.authenticateWithGoogleOneTap(transferable) Clerk.auth.signInWithGoogleOneTap(transferable)
SignIn.authenticateWithRedirect(OAuth(provider), transferable) Clerk.auth.signInWithOAuth(provider, transferable)
SignUp.authenticateWithRedirect(OAuth(provider, unsafeMetadata)) Clerk.auth.signUpWithOAuth(provider, unsafeMetadata = …)
prepareFirstFactor(EnterpriseSSO()) + authenticateWithPreparedRedirect signIn.authenticateWithEnterpriseSso(transferable)
SignInRedirect prepareFirstFactor(OAuth) + authenticateWithPreparedRedirect signIn.authenticateWithOAuth(provider, transferable). The wrapper is kept so its callers and their mocks don't change.
SignInPrepareHandler prepareFirstFactor(EmailCode / PhoneCode / ResetPassword*) sendEmailCode(id) / sendPhoneCode(id) / sendResetPasswordEmailCode(id) / sendResetPasswordPhoneCode(id)
prepareSecondFactor(phoneNumberId) / (emailAddressId = …) sendMfaPhoneCode(id) / sendMfaEmailCode(id)
SignInAttemptHandler, BackupCodeViewModel attemptSecondFactor(TOTP / PhoneCode / EmailCode / BackupCode) verifyMfaCode(code, MfaType.*)
SetPasswordViewModel attemptFirstFactor(Password) verifyWithPassword(password)
PasskeyViewModel SignIn.authenticateWithGoogleCredential([PASSKEY]) Clerk.auth.signInWithPasskey()
SignUpCodeViewModel prepareVerification(EmailCode / PhoneCode), attemptVerification(…) sendEmailCode() / sendPhoneCode(), verifyCode(code, VerificationType.*)
SignUpEmailLinkViewModel prepareVerification(EmailLink()) sendEmailLink()
CollectFieldViewModel, CompleteProfileViewModel update(SignUpUpdateParams.Standard(…)) update { … }. completeProfileUpdateParams now returns the builder block.

One call site stays on the old layer on purpose. SignInAttemptHandler still calls attemptFirstFactor(EmailCode / PhoneCode / ResetPasswordEmailCode / ResetPasswordPhoneCode). The matrix maps it to signIn.verifyCode(code), but verifyCode infers the strategy from firstFactorVerification, while the UI attempts the factor shown on screen. The two diverge only when that factor's prepare failed and an older verification for a different strategy is still on the sign-in. The old code then attempts the on-screen strategy, and verifyCode would attempt the older one. Since behaviour has to stay identical, attemptFirstFactor stays here. #1039 leaves attemptFirstFactor un-deprecated until the facade has a verify method that takes an explicit strategy. That would fit best on #1025's typed Strategy.

Unchanged: signIn.authenticateWithPasskey() and signIn.resetPassword(…) are already canonical. Clerk.biometricCredentials.signIn is not in the matrix.

Blast Radius

Testing

  • ViewModel tests now mock the new entry points. AuthViewModelTest stubs Clerk.auth with a mock Auth. The handler tests mock send* / verifyMfaCode. PasskeyViewModelTest stubs auth.signInWithPasskey(). SignInRedirectTest checks delegation to authenticateWithOAuth. CompleteProfileViewModelTest applies the builder block.
  • ./gradlew :source:ui:spotlessApply :source:ui:detekt :source:ui:testDebugUnitTest: all pass (508 tests).
  • :source:ui:verifyPaparazziDebug not run. No composable or rendering code changed, only ViewModels and handlers.
  • :source:api is untouched in this PR.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Review follow-ups

The "pin the MFA type and sign-up code channel" commit tightens tests:

  • SignInAttemptHandlerTest verifies the exact code and MfaType passed to verifyMfaCode, not any().
  • New SignUpCodeViewModelTest pins the email/phone mapping for sending and verifying.

CodeRabbit's startingFirstFactor comment on AuthViewModelTest needs no change. mockkStatic calls through to the real getter when it isn't stubbed, and the test's coVerify(exactly = 1) on authenticateWithEnterpriseSso shows the flow gets past it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Updated the underlying handling for sign-in, sign-up, passkeys, OAuth, enterprise SSO, verification codes, and password setup. Existing authentication options, flow choices, success and error handling, cancellation behavior, and user-facing outcomes remain unchanged. This release does not add or remove any user-facing authentication capabilities.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

UI authentication flows now use dedicated Clerk APIs for authentication, code sending and verification, and sign-up updates. Tests mock and verify the corresponding API calls while retaining existing state and callback expectations.

Changes

Authentication API Migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Auth orchestration with Clerk.auth
source/ui/src/main/java/com/clerk/ui/auth/AuthStartViewModel.kt, source/ui/src/test/java/com/clerk/ui/auth/AuthViewModelTest.kt
Authentication uses Clerk.auth for sign-in, sign-up, passkey, OAuth, Google One Tap, and enterprise SSO. Tests verify those calls and retain existing result, error, cancellation, and fallback expectations.
Sign-in redirect and factor methods
source/ui/src/main/java/com/clerk/ui/signin/*, source/ui/src/test/java/com/clerk/ui/signin/*
Redirect authentication, MFA verification, password verification, and code sending use dedicated APIs. Tests verify the new calls and retain existing callback and error expectations.
Sign-up verification and builder updates
source/ui/src/main/java/com/clerk/ui/signup/*, source/ui/src/test/java/com/clerk/ui/signup/completeprofile/CompleteProfileViewModelTest.kt, source/ui/src/test/java/com/clerk/ui/signup/code/SignUpCodeViewModelTest.kt
Sign-up code and email-link flows use dedicated send and verify methods. Field and profile updates configure the sign-up builder. Tests cover code sending, code verification, and profile fields.

🌐 Web query:

MockK official documentation mockkStatic all functions in file strict unstubbed invocation default answer

💡 Result:

Yes. **`mockkStatic` mocks the whole generated JVM class for a Kotlin file**, not only the function you pass. So calls to other top-level functions in that file are intercepted too. The official docs also note that mocking one function clears existing mocks for other functions declared in the same file. ([github.com](https://github.com/mockk/mockk?utm_source=openai))

Static mocks are **strict by default**: an intercepted call without a configured answer throws `MockKException` (“no answer found”). You can stub the call with `every { … } returns …`, or use relaxed behavior where supported. ([github.com](https://github.com/mockk/mockk?utm_source=openai))

That strict-default detail is stated in the docs for regular mocks; the page doesn’t separately spell out the default answer behavior for every static-mock case. ([github.com](https://github.com/mockk/mockk?utm_source=openai))

MockK 1.14.11 source StaticMockFactory unstubbed static mock default answer strict MockKStub defaultAnswer

💡 Result:

In MockK **1.14.11**, an unstubbed static call is strict by default: `MockKStub.defaultAnswer` throws `MockKException` (“no answer found”) unless the stub is relaxed or the call is explicitly stubbed. MockK’s docs state that mocks are strict by default, and the source search did not surface the exact 1.14.11 files to verify the implementation directly. ([github.com](https://github.com/mockk/mockk?utm_source=openai))

I couldn’t establish from the available sources exactly how `StaticMockFactory` in **1.14.11** constructs or configures its stub. The closest source-level evidence is an older MockK issue showing `MockKStub.defaultAnswer` on the “no answer found” exception path; it is not proof of the 1.14.11 implementation. (GitHub issue 170 in mockk/mockk (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference))

🌐 Web query:

github mockk 1.14.11 StaticMockFactory MockKStub defaultAnswer source code static mock strict

💡 Result:

The relevant implementation is in the MockK GitHub repository, but I couldn’t verify the **1.14.11** source at the requested paths: those paths returned 404, and the search results didn’t expose the versioned files.

For context, MockK’s `1.14.11` artifact is listed on Maven Central, and a historical MockK stack trace shows `MockKStub.defaultAnswer` throwing when no answer is configured. That trace is not evidence for the exact 1.14.11 implementation. ([central.sonatype.com](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.mockk/mockk/1.14.11?utm_source=openai))

So I can’t confirm from the available sources how `StaticMockFactory` creates its stub or how `defaultAnswer` handles an unstubbed static call in 1.14.11. ([]())

Stub startingFirstFactor in this test.

mockkStatic intercepts top-level members in SignInExtensions.kt, including the startingFirstFactor getter. AuthStartViewModel reads that getter before it starts enterprise SSO. The test stubs the SSO call but not the getter, so MockK's strict default can stop the test before its cancellation assertions.

Swap every old-layer auth call in source/ui for its Clerk.auth / step-verb
equivalent from the #1034 matrix. Requests are unchanged. First-factor code
attempts keep attemptFirstFactor because signIn.verifyCode infers the
strategy instead of taking the one the UI chose.

SignInAttemptHandlerTest verified verifyMfaCode(any(), any()), so a
handler sending the wrong MfaType still passed. It now verifies the
exact code and type. SignUpCodeViewModel's email/phone mapping had no
test at all.
