What Flows just did
Based on your request to build Auth Flow QA, Flows created 5 implementation stages and 15 checks.
You asked for: Verify the complete auth surface with executed tests: creation, credentials, sessions, protection, and recovery.. Flows generated 5 stages because the application requires Signup path testing including duplicates and validation; Login testing with wrong/right credentials; Session lifecycle verification (persist, restore, logout). Each stage tells your AI builder what to do, tests whether it actually worked, and gives a repair instruction when it fails. These checks are designed to catch: Testing login only with the correct password; Skipping direct-API guard checks; Ignoring the back button after logout.
Example failure
The form reported success, but no database record was created.
What Flows does
Flows detects the failure, generates a repair instruction, reruns the test, and stores the passing evidence.

Copy to external builder
Copies a prompt for Claude/Cursor/etc. Records prompt_copied only — not execution, commits, or checks.
Execute through Oort
Requires Sign in with Oort + a provider connection (BYOK). Keys stay on Oort. A model name in the dropdown is not the same as a live connection.

Check off: A real record was verified created
Add a proof note on each check — a checkbox alone is weak proof.

App persistence (create → read → assert token)
Body template: {"probe":"{{token}}","title":"flows-probe-{{token}}"}. Needs CORS-readable public create/list endpoints (or inconclusive). Badge only when create→read→refresh finds the token (detects false success).
Two-account authorization (User B cannot see/change User A)
Authorization evidence source: Cross-account ownership test (trust level 5/6). These are not equivalent. Unauthenticated probe alone is weaker (source: unauthenticated API probe). Tokens stay in this browser session only — not uploaded to Flows servers.
Generated edge-case tests (review / approve)
- api_probe Submitting the form empty is rejected with a clear error
- api_probe Each required field can be omitted and fails validation
- api_probe Malformed email is rejected
- api_probe Malformed phone is rejected when phone is collected
- api_probe Duplicate submission does not create two records
- api_probe Double-click submit creates only one record
- false_success_probe Failed request does not show success
- browser_automation Refresh during submission does not leave corrupt state
- api_probe Oversized input is rejected
- api_probe Unsafe strings do not execute or break storage
- api_probe Logged-out users cannot open protected pages
- api_probe Protected API rejects requests without credentials
- api_probe Expired session cannot mutate data
- browser_automation Logout in one tab invalidates mutations from another
- cross_account_probe User B cannot see or change User A’s data
- cross_account_probe Participant cannot call coach/admin endpoints
Generated from this route’s signals — you approve; you do not invent security tests.
Content probe (GET body contains text)
In-product content probe reads response text when CORS allows — not full DOM/click automation. Playwright script is optional and external.

Step 1 of 5
Not startedTest the signup surface
Account creation is the front door - test it including the ugly inputs.
Flows keeps plan, checks, failures, and next steps connected
Your AI tool writes or changes the code
Repository grounds the plan only after inspect
Checks always carry a validation tier
How this plan was created
Plan from project details
Flows creates steps using the goal, requirements, stack, platform, and details you provide.
- Project description
- Selected template / route
- User-entered stack
- Constraints and notes
- Auth Flow QA
No repository inspection implied. Connect and inspect a codebase to ground steps in real files.
Codebase access
Checking GitHub…
Or paste a repository URL manually
Use these instructions in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Emergent, or another builder.
Execute signup tests with a fresh state and record PASS/FAIL with observations: valid signup creates a persisted account (verify the record exists) and lands correctly with an active session; duplicate email is rejected with a visible, non-technical error; each validation rule fires inline (empty fields, bad email format, short password, mismatched confirmation); the submit button disables while working; the created password is stored hashed (verify no plaintext).
Project context
Copies the project goal, technical details, current step, previous progress, and checks so your AI tool understands what it is working on.
Expected after this step
An executed signup test table covering happy path, duplicates, and validation.
Should not happen
- ✕Testing login only with the correct password
- ✕Skipping direct-API guard checks
- ✕Ignoring the back button after logout
- ✕Reset flows that were never actually completed
Verify gate — prove this step works before continuing
Do not move on until every check is true. Add proof notes — a checked box alone is weak proof. Checks are manual by default; deploy/API probes live under “More verification tools” and do not auto-check boxes.
Do not continue if…
- !Testing login only with the correct password
- !Skipping direct-API guard checks
- !Ignoring the back button after logout
- !Reset flows that were never actually completed
Repair path — if this step fails
Use the Repair Prompt when a verify gate fails. Loop: Detected → Diagnosed → Repair issued → Changed → Retested → Resolved
Show repair prompt textShow
Signup tests skipped verification of the stored record. Query the user store after the test signup and confirm the record with a hashed password.
Your notes for this step
Definition of Done
Final route-level requirements. Manual checks — separate from per-step verify gates. Completing step gates does not auto-check these. Route completion is not a production-ready claim.
