Previous round narrowed the framing too far in the other direction —
made it sound like Nextcloud OIDC is *the* IdP. The MCP server
actually supports any OIDC-compliant provider (Nextcloud's built-in
OIDC, Keycloak, AWS Cognito, Auth0, etc.) selected via
`OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL`. `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET` are generic
OIDC client credentials despite the Nextcloud-flavored naming.
Code references:
- IdP discovery: app.py:607-668 (auto-detects integrated vs external
by comparing discovered issuer to NEXTCLOUD_HOST)
- JWKS: unified_verifier.py:71-73 (dynamically discovered, not
hard-coded to Nextcloud)
- IdP selection knob: OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL (config.py)
Changes:
- login-flow-v2.md: redraw "How It Works" diagram to show the IdP as
a separate component; replace "Nextcloud OIDC" with "configurable
IdP" framing throughout; add OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL to the env-var
reference; clarify NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET are generic OIDC
creds; rename "OAuth Endpoints" subtitle to point at "the configured
IdP".
- running.md: rewrite the OAuth Mode intro and Quick Start note to
mention IdP configurability and OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL.
- configuration.md: update Best Practices "For Production" multi-user
bullet to reference the IdP selector and generic-creds caveat.
- auth-flows.md: generalize Astrolabe-flow and Login Flow v2
characteristics bullets — IdP and JWKS source are configurable.
- keycloak-multi-client-validation.md: REMOVE the "deprecated"
banner I added in 35c115e. The doc covers active behavior in
external-IdP mode (realm-level token validation by user_oidc),
not retired direct-OAuth-to-Nextcloud architecture. Replaced with
a scope note pointing at when this applies.
oauth-impersonation-findings.md keeps its deprecation banner — that
doc *is* about the rejected service-account / impersonation path
(ADR-002 Tier 2, "Will Not Implement"), so the deprecation framing
remains correct there.

The previous round of review feedback rested on a misunderstanding —
that the MCP server is "the OAuth issuer" under Login Flow v2 and that
NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET are external-IdP-only. Code says
otherwise (app.py:619/625/703-717, unified_verifier.py:72):
- The MCP server is an OIDC relying party of Nextcloud OIDC. Tokens are
signed by Nextcloud and validated against Nextcloud's JWKS in all
modes — the server has no private signing keys.
- Static NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET are the preferred way to
register the MCP server as that relying party; RFC 7591 DCR is a
fallback when both are unset.
- Login Flow v2 layers per-user app-password acquisition on top — it
governs the MCP→Nextcloud data leg, not the relying-party setup.
This commit reverts the inaccuracies introduced by 35c115e and reframes
the original `login-flow-v2.md` to match what the code does:
- login-flow-v2.md: revise "How It Works" to describe the MCP server
as an OIDC RP + OAuth facade (not a standalone issuer); rename
"OAuth Issuer Endpoints" → "OAuth Endpoints" with a note that those
endpoints front Nextcloud OIDC; add NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET
to the required env vars with DCR documented as fallback.
- running.md: restore the static-creds Docker example (deleted in
35c115e on the wrong reasoning that it was tied to the retired
direct-OAuth-to-Nextcloud flow); rewrite the OAuth Mode section
intro to describe the actual relying-party + facade architecture.
- configuration.md: fix Best Practices "For Production" to mention
static creds as preferred / DCR as fallback; restore the .oauth
Docker volume alongside data so DCR-registered MCP-client state and
the encrypted app-password DB both persist.
- auth-flows.md: drop the note added in 35c115e that wrongly claimed
the MCP server validates Bearer tokens against its own JWKS under
Login Flow v2 — it validates against Nextcloud's JWKS in all modes;
reword the Login Flow v2 "Key characteristics" bullet that called
the MCP server "the OAuth authorization server".

Round-2 cleanup of PR #743 review comments not covered by d153e96:
- configuration.md: fix broken `#multi-user-oauth-modes` anchor; replace
with the two real anchors (Multi-User BasicAuth, Login Flow v2). Rewrite
the stale "always use OAuth2/OIDC with pre-configured clients" Best
Practices section to reflect the post-pivot mode matrix, and update the
Docker volume example to mount the encrypted app-password store
(`TOKEN_STORAGE_DB`) rather than obsolete `.oauth` client storage.
- semantic-search-architecture.md: rename remaining body references from
the deprecated `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED` to `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH` so the
doc matches configuration.md / troubleshooting.md.
- running.md: relabel "OAuth Mode (Recommended)" as
"Login Flow v2 / OAuth issuer mode (--oauth)", drop the misleading
"(Legacy)" suffix from BasicAuth, drop the
`NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET` example (tied to the retired
direct-OAuth-to-Nextcloud flow), and add a note explaining what
`--oauth` actually enables post-pivot.
- keycloak-multi-client-validation.md, oauth-impersonation-findings.md:
add a deprecation banner pointing at ADR-022 / Login Flow v2. Files
retained because ADR-002 and CLAUDE.md still cite them.
- auth-flows.md: clarify under the Astrolabe → MCP diagram that the
Nextcloud-OIDC JWKS path applies to Multi-User BasicAuth; under
Login Flow v2 the MCP server validates tokens against its own JWKS.
- login-flow-v2.md: clarify the sticky-session note — affinity must key
on the OAuth bearer token (or user-bound cookie), not source IP, since
MCP clients may not maintain stable IPs across the provisioning flow.

Replace the seven OAuth-to-Nextcloud docs (oauth-setup, quickstart-oauth,
oauth-architecture, oauth-upstream-status, oauth-troubleshooting,
jwt-oauth-reference, audience-validation-setup) with a single new
docs/login-flow-v2.md. The deprecated flow required upstream user_oidc
patches that were never merged; Login Flow v2 is the forward-looking
multi-user mode (see ADR-022), and works with stock Nextcloud 16+.
Rewrite docs/authentication.md and docs/auth-flows.md around three modes:
Single-User BasicAuth, Multi-User BasicAuth pass-through, and Login Flow v2.
Update README to add an Astrolabe Cloud (https://astrolabecloud.com)
callout for users who prefer not to self-host, drop the OAuth deployment
mode from the auth table, simplify the Docker block, and trim the
Examples and Security sections.
Sweep configuration.md, installation.md, troubleshooting.md, running.md,
and semantic-search-architecture.md to replace links to the deleted docs
and update deprecated mode names.

The helm chart has been migrated to a dedicated repository at
https://github.com/cbcoutinho/helm-charts. This removes the chart
source, release workflow, bump script, and updates all documentation
to point to the new repository.

Updated docs/running.md to use Docker container examples instead of
direct Python commands. This aligns with the CLI change to require
explicit 'run' subcommand while maintaining backward compatibility
for Docker users (ENTRYPOINT includes 'run').
Key changes:
- Quick Start: Use Docker commands instead of uv run
- Running Locally → Running with Docker: All examples use Docker
- Development Mode: Added CLI subcommands documentation (run/db)
- Database Migrations: Documented Alembic integration for developers
- Server Options: Docker port mapping instead of --host/--port flags
- Process Management: Simplified to Docker Compose only (removed systemd)
- Performance Tuning: Production Docker Compose with resource limits
- Troubleshooting: Docker logs and debug commands
Updated Dockerfile ENTRYPOINT:
- Changed from: ["/app/.venv/bin/nextcloud-mcp-server", "--host", "0.0.0.0"]
- Changed to: ["/app/.venv/bin/nextcloud-mcp-server", "run", "--host", "0.0.0.0"]
No breaking changes for Docker/Helm users - container interface unchanged.
