🚀 Major Features Added #

Complete JWT Authentication System

• JWT Annotations: @JWTPublic, @JWTController, @JWTEndpoint for fine-grained access control
• Custom Validators: Extensible JWTValidatorBase class for implementing custom authorization logic
• Hierarchical Validation: Endpoint-level validators override controller-level validators
• AND/OR Logic: requireAll parameter for flexible validator combinations
• Token Blacklisting: Complete token revocation system with in-memory management
• JWT Payload Access: Full payload injection into request.context for endpoint consumption

Production-Ready Validators

• MyAdminValidator: Role-based admin access control with permissions validation
• MyFinancialValidator: Department + clearance level + certification + transaction limit validation
• MyDepartmentValidator: Configurable department access with optional management level requirements
• MyBusinessHoursValidator: Time-based access control with after-hours override support

Enhanced Security & Middleware

• JWT Middleware Pipeline: Automatic JWT extraction, validation, and payload injection
• Enhanced Reflection System: JWT-aware route registration with annotation detection
• Error Handling: Standardized JWT error responses (401/403) with detailed validation feedback
• Request Context: Automatic JWT payload and shortcut injection (user_id, user_email, user_role)

🔧 Technical Improvements #

Enhanced ReflectionHelper

• JWT Middleware Integration: Routes automatically get JWT validation middleware applied based on annotations
• Symbol Processing: Robust method name extraction from Dart Symbol representations
• Annotation Detection: Complete scanning system for JWT annotations on controllers and methods

ApiServer Enhancements

• JWT Configuration: configureJWTAuth(), disableJWTAuth() methods for dynamic JWT setup
• Token Management: blacklistToken(), clearTokenBlacklist(), blacklistedTokensCount for token lifecycle
• Dynamic Reconfiguration: Support for changing JWT secrets and configuration at runtime

🧪 Comprehensive Testing #

Test Coverage Achievement

• 139/139 tests passing (100% success rate)
• 6 dedicated JWT test files covering all authentication scenarios
• Production-ready test suite with real HTTP servers and concurrent request validation
• Edge case coverage including malformed tokens, expired JWTs, complex payloads, and error conditions

Test Files Added

• jwt_validation_system_test.dart - Core JWT system functionality
• jwt_production_ready_test.dart - Critical production scenarios
• jwt_validated_system_test.dart - Functional validation tests
• jwt_comprehensive_test.dart - Exhaustive edge case coverage
• jwt_system_simple_test.dart - Basic unit tests
• jwt_annotations_test.dart - Annotation integration tests

🏗️ Architecture Enhancements #

JWT System Architecture

@JWTController (Controller Level) 
    ↓
@JWTEndpoint (Method Level - Overrides Controller)
    ↓  
@JWTPublic (Public - Bypasses All Validation)

Validation Pipeline

HTTP Request → JWT Extraction → Custom Validators → Business Logic → Response

Error Response Standardization

• 401 Unauthorized: Missing/invalid JWT tokens
• 403 Forbidden: Valid JWT but authorization failed
• Detailed Error Context: Validation mode, failed validators, request IDs

🎯 Breaking Changes #

• JWT System: Replaces hypothetical @RequireAuth annotations with new JWT system
• Authentication Flow: New JWT-based authentication replaces basic auth patterns

🚧 Developer Experience #

Type Safety

• Const Constructors: All validators support const for compile-time optimization
• Generic Validation Results: Type-safe validation result patterns
• Context Injection: Strongly-typed JWT payload access

Performance Optimizations

• Concurrent Request Handling: Validated with load testing
• Efficient Token Blacklisting: O(1) lookup performance
• Reflection Optimization: Smart caching of annotation metadata

---
