summary:
  types:
  - challenge-response
  - bearer
  model: Solana-keypair challenge-response issuing short-lived Bearer access + refresh tokens over gRPC metadata; there is no API key or OAuth surface.
  allowlist_required: true
schemes:
- name: KeypairChallengeResponse
  type: challenge-response
  transport: grpc
  service: auth.AuthService
  description: >-
    Clients authenticate by proving control of a Solana keypair. The client calls
    GenerateAuthChallenge with its role and 32-byte pubkey, signs the returned
    challenge (the client signs "{pubkey}-{challenge}"), then exchanges the signed
    challenge via GenerateAuthTokens for an access token and a longer-lived refresh
    token. RefreshAccessToken mints a fresh access token before expiry.
  operations:
  - GenerateAuthChallenge
  - GenerateAuthTokens
  - RefreshAccessToken
  roles:
    note: Harmonic uses Role.SEARCHER = 3, which differs from jito-protos where SEARCHER = 1. Reusing jito-protos clients requires authenticating with the ShredstreamSubscriber role (= 3).
    values:
    - {name: ROLE_UNSPECIFIED, value: 0}
    - {name: SEARCHER, value: 3}
- name: BearerToken
  type: bearer
  transport: grpc
  location: metadata
  description: >-
    Each request carries the access token as a gRPC Bearer credential. Reference
    client interceptors add the token automatically, refresh it ~5 minutes before
    expiry, and re-authenticate when the refresh token expires.
authorization:
  allowlist:
    description: Beyond token auth, the searcher pubkey (or validator identity) must be whitelisted by the Harmonic team before requests are accepted; a non-whitelisted key is rejected with permission denied.
