Frontend half of Lightweight Accounts P1 (#5045), built against the merged backend (#5052, #5066, #5085, and gated-action support in social auth from 9e543e5).

What this does

When a logged-out visitor takes a consumer action (vote on a question, subscribe to updates, or make a forecast), they get a capture drawer instead of the signup modal: enter an email, receive a magic link, and clicking it verifies the address, signs them in, and applies the action they were trying to take.

Demo

lightweight-accs.mp4

The flow

  • Three gated actions: post vote, post subscribe, question-level forecast (the three types the backend supports). Comment votes, key factors, and group/conditional forecast makers keep the existing signin modal.
  • Subscribe opens on a checkbox-card step ("When it resolves" preselected, forecast changes / new discussion opt-in) before the email step. Vote and forecast go straight to email with the drafted action attached.
  • Untouched slider on the forecast maker opens a sign-in-only variant of the drawer with honest copy (nothing to save), and never clears a previously pending action.
  • Sent state recaps what the link will do; resend has a 30s cooldown and re-sends the stored action (backend clears pending actions on empty requests, so this matters).
  • Repeat actions while unverified show a prefilled state with latest-wins copy ("It saves this vote instead").
  • Confirm-email banner persists under the top chrome (localStorage, 24h TTL matching link TTL) and reopens the drawer in recap state.
  • Dead links land on a recovery form that requests a fresh link, carrying the stored action.
  • Google path: the drawer offers "Sign in with Google"; the gated action is stashed in sessionStorage across the OAuth redirect and attached to the code exchange (applied best-effort server-side, 15-minute staleness guard).
  • Mobile: new BottomDrawer primitive on Base UI (animated enter/exit, swipe-down dismiss, max height capped below the navbar, standard title+close header, one active drawer at a time). Desktop uses the existing centered modal. The consumer question page also gains a mobile "Notify me when this resolves" CTA, and Predict now opens the maker for visitors in a bottom drawer instead of the fullscreen overlay.
  • Analytics: emailCaptureShown / emailSubmitted / emailSubmitFailed / captureAbandoned / subscribeOptions* / confirmBanner* / notifyCta* events with trigger + surface, never the raw email.

Mobile share drawer (reusable pattern)

The Share button on question pages now opens a bottom sheet on mobile (desktop keeps the dropdown): a 2x2 grid of Copy Link / X / Facebook / Embed tiles with pressed-state feedback and toasts, the drawer staying open across actions (Embed hands off to the embed modal). This establishes the house pattern for converting desktop interactions into mobile drawers: BottomDrawer with the title header + DrawerActionButton tiles, gated at the call site with useBreakpoint("sm")share_post_drawer.tsx is the reference example for future drawers.

Subscribe-capture A/B experiment

The subscribe flow ships behind a PostHog experiment testing whether the options step earns richer subscriptions or is just friction:

  • control: CTA copy "Notify me of updates", checkbox-card options step as described above.
  • test: CTA copy "Notify me when this resolves", straight to the email input, subscription is resolution-only.
  • Unenrolled / signed-in / flag missing / PostHog down: current status-quo flow (resolve copy + options step). Fail-open everywhere.

Enrollment reuses the anonymous-experiment infrastructure from #5082: middleware evaluates the flag server-side for eligible anonymous document requests, pins the assignment in a 26-week first-party cookie (plus a same-request header so the first pageview renders correctly), and shares the distinct_id with the autotranslation experiment so one visitor never has two identities. The variant is resolved server-side only on the question route (already dynamic) so static pages stay static.

PostHog setup

  1. Create an experiment with feature flag key subscribe_capture_experiment, variants control and test, 50/50 split. No targeting conditions needed (the middleware already restricts enrollment to anonymous non-bot visitors).
  2. Exposure ($feature_flag_called) registers only when an experiment surface is actually shown (CTA impression or subscribe drawer open), not on page load, so the exposed population is people who could be affected.
  3. Primary metric: emailSubmitted filtered to trigger = post_subscribe, relative to exposure.
  4. Secondary: subscription richness. subscribeOptionsContinued fires only in control and carries the selected types array; test is constant at one type. Also watch captureAbandoned (with step) for where each arm loses people.
  5. All capture events additionally carry a captureVariant property (control / test / none), and bootstrapped flags stamp $feature/subscribe_capture_experiment on every event.
  6. Guardrails worth watching after a few weeks: resend rate, and notification unsubscribe rate for accounts created by each arm.

Local/staging testing without the flag: pin an arm by setting the cookie metaculus_subscribe_capture_ab to x%3Acontrol or x%3Atest in devtools.

Also in this PR

  • CSRF token generation falls back to crypto.getRandomValues because crypto.randomUUID does not exist in insecure contexts and crashed OAuth URL construction (reachable from the signin modal on main too) when the site is served over plain http, e.g. device testing against the dev server.
  • Same family: useCopyUrl falls back to document.execCommand("copy") where navigator.clipboard is unavailable.
  • BinaryCPBar size lg now draws the SVG at real dimensions instead of a CSS transform, so its layout box matches the visual and the scale-compensation hacks at both call sites are gone.
  • Mobile spacing polish on consumer question pages (action row, prediction block, drawer paddings).

Verification

  • E2E against the live backend: subscribe with partial chip selection (DB confirmed only the selected subscription types are created), vote and forecast application on link click, latest-wins overwrite, auto-generated usernames, banner lifecycle, resend cooldown, recovery form, cross-action repeat copy.
  • Verified on real WebKit with real touch via the iOS Simulator (LAN IP origin), plus desktop Chromium light/dark.
  • Both experiment arms verified end to end by pinning the assignment cookie (control: new copy + options step; test: straight to email, resolution-only payload); unenrolled state verified as untouched status quo.
  • bun run lint (0 errors) and bun run build pass. (Note: the ~37 "Dynamic server usage" logs during build pre-exist on main; verified against clean HEAD, tracked separately.)

…equest action

Client-side foundation for the lightweight accounts flow: the gated action
type union (post_vote / post_subscribe / forecast), a localStorage-backed
pending record store shared across trees via useSyncExternalStore (plus the
sessionStorage stash for OAuth carry-through), the wire mapping shared by the
email and social paths, and the requestEmailLink API client + server action
(Turnstile headers, always-204 anti-enumeration contract).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BottomDrawer wraps Base UI's Drawer (animated enter/exit even when mounted
on demand, swipe-down dismiss, max height capped below the navbar). The
capture drawer runs the options/input/sent state machine: subscribe opens on
checkbox cards with only 'When it resolves' preselected, vote and forecast go
straight to email; includes prefilled repeat state, resend cooldown, Google
button with action stash, Turnstile, and per-trigger copy in en.json.
Registered as the emailCapture modal type. Non-English locales pending
translations:generate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Post votes, question subscriptions, and question-level forecasts now open
the capture drawer with the drafted action attached instead of the signup
modal. Forecast makers expose buildForecastPayload so the untouched-slider
case falls back to a sign-in-only drawer without clearing pending actions.
The consumer Predict button opens the maker for visitors (mobile: bottom
drawer instead of the fullscreen overlay; one active drawer at a time), and
the new NotifyMeCta gives mobile a subscribe entry point. Group/conditional
makers and comment/key-factor gates keep the existing signin modal.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Device-local banner under the top chrome while a capture record is pending;
tapping it reopens the drawer in recap state with the resend cooldown. The
magic-link failure page gains an inline form that requests a fresh link,
re-sending the stored gated action when one exists.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The drawer's Google path stashes the pending action in sessionStorage before
the redirect; the callback attaches it to the code exchange (backend applies
it best-effort per 9e543e5) with a 15-minute staleness guard, and clears the
capture record on success.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e5237

This PR applies pending votes, subscriptions, and forecasts after email or Google sign-in. The current Google flow can report completion even when the action is lost or fails, and repeated delivery may duplicate forecast effects; merge should wait for a reliable completion/retry contract or explicit owner acceptance.

crypto.randomUUID only exists in secure contexts, so building an OAuth URL
crashed the app when the site is accessed over plain http (e.g. LAN device
testing against the dev server). getRandomValues has no such restriction.

Mobile capture drawer gets a unified header row: back button or wrapping
title inline with the close button at consistent padding (desktop modal
unchanged). BinaryCPBar's lg size now draws the SVG at real dimensions
instead of a CSS transform, so the layout box matches the visual and the
scale-compensation hacks at both call sites are gone. Tighter mobile
spacing on consumer question pages (action row, prediction block, notify
CTA, drawer paddings) and a consolidated drawer handle gap.

The Share button opens a bottom sheet on mobile (desktop keeps the
dropdown): a 2x2 grid of Copy Link / X / Facebook / Embed tiles with
pressed-state feedback, toasts on action, and the drawer staying open
(Embed hands off to the embed modal). BottomDrawer gains a standard
title-plus-close header used by the predict drawer too, and the new
DrawerActionButton tile is the building block for future mobile drawers,
with share_post_drawer as the reference example. useCopyUrl falls back to
execCommand where navigator.clipboard is unavailable (insecure contexts).

Two coherent bundles behind the subscribe_capture_experiment flag: control
shows the options step with 'Notify me of updates' copy, test goes straight
to the email input under 'Notify me when this resolves' and subscribes to
resolution only. Enrollment reuses the anonymous-experiment rails from
the autotranslation experiment (middleware evaluation, first-party cookie,
same-request header, shared distinct_id) with the variant resolved
server-side on the already-dynamic question route so static pages stay
static; the root-level drawer falls back to a synchronous cookie read.
Exposure registers on surface show, not page load, and capture events
carry a captureVariant property. Unenrolled, signed-in, and flag-off all
serve the status quo.

Adds es/cs/pt/zh/zh-TW translations for the 62 new keys (email capture
drawer, confirm banner, dead-link recovery, notify CTA, share drawer,
experiment copy). Placeholders and rich-text tags preserved; the
compositional subscribe phrases translated to read grammatically inside
the 'get updates when {a}' sentences.

Share the initialView union instead of inlining it.

initialView?: "options" | "input" | "sent" restates the EmailCaptureView type declared in email_capture_drawer.tsx (Line 42). The two definitions are unrelated to the compiler, so adding a view to one will not flag the other, and global_modals.tsx Line 169 forwards the value between them.

This file already imports from @/types/gated_actions. Move the union there, export it, and use it in both places.

export type EmailCaptureView = "options" | "input" | "sent";

Consider preloading or adding a loading fallback for the capture drawer.

dynamic(..., { ssr: false }) without a loading option renders nothing while the chunk downloads. The drawer opens on the first gated tap, so on a slow connection the tap produces no visible response until the chunk arrives. This sits on the conversion path the PR is optimizing.

A loading fallback, or a preload triggered when a gated control first mounts, removes the dead interval.

Enforce an accessible name at the type level.

title and label are both optional. If a caller sets neither, no Drawer.Title renders and the dialog has no accessible name. The JSDoc states the convention, but nothing enforces it. A union type makes the requirement a compile error instead of a runtime a11y defect.

Consider validating trigger in parseRecord.

parseRecord checks email and sentAt, then casts the rest of the parsed JSON to EmailCapturePendingRecord. record.trigger is read without a further check by email_confirm_banner.tsx (Line 56) and passed as the required trigger prop of the capture drawer. A record written by an older version of this key, or a truncated write, produces undefined there. The drawer's switch falls through to the subscribe copy, so the user sees the wrong text.

Rejecting records with an unknown trigger keeps the stored contract aligned with GatedActionTrigger.

Guard the exchange so it runs exactly once.

This effect performs three non-idempotent operations: takeSocialGatedAction() deletes the sessionStorage stash, exchangeSocialOauthCode consumes the one-time OAuth code, and rotateCsrfToken() replaces the nonce cookie. If the effect body runs a second time, assertValidCsrfNonce compares the stale nonce prop against the rotated cookie and throws, so showBoundary shows an error screen to a user who already signed in successfully. The stash is also gone by then, so the gated action is dropped.

email_link_verify.tsx guards the same class of one-shot consumption with firedRef (Lines 66-69). Apply the same guard here.

hardcoded clipboard-success text passed to toast with the app’s existing i18n
message lookup, adding or reusing the appropriate locale key so the notification
is localized for non-English users.
- Around line 96-100: Update the legacy copy flow around document.execCommand in
the share hook to check its boolean return value and call notify only when the
result indicates success; preserve the existing error handling for thrown
failures.

In `@front_end/src/services/subscribe_capture_variant.server.ts`:
- Around line 28-30: Update the authentication check in
getSubscribeCaptureEnrollment to use
AuthCookieReader(cookieStore).hasAuthSession(), so sessions containing either
access or refresh tokens return null when the experiment cookie is present;
preserve the existing anonymous-variant behavior for unauthenticated requests.

In `@front_end/src/utils/csrf.ts`:
- Around line 20-28: Update writeCsrfToken() to apply an explicit
development-only cookie policy for approved HTTP development hosts, omitting
Secure there so browsers retain the fallback token; keep Secure mandatory for
production and unchanged for other environments.

Nitpick comments:
In `@front_end/src/app/`(main)/accounts/social/[provider]/client.tsx:
- Around line 32-46: Guard the one-shot OAuth exchange effect with a firedRef,
matching the pattern used in email_link_verify.tsx. In the effect around
takeSocialGatedAction and exchangeSocialOauthCode, return immediately when the
ref indicates the flow already ran, then mark it fired before consuming the
stash or exchanging the code; preserve the existing success and error handling.

In `@front_end/src/components/email_capture/email_capture_drawer.tsx`:
- Around line 743-764: Update BottomDrawer to support an optional leading header
slot while preserving its standard title and close-button rendering, then
refactor the email capture drawer around its header implementation to pass
title={headerTitle} and render the back button through that slot. Remove the
duplicated header row and any label escape-hatch usage, keeping the existing
backInHeader behavior and goBackToOptions handler.

In `@front_end/src/components/email_capture/pending_store.ts`:
- Around line 21-36: Update parseRecord to validate record.trigger before
returning the parsed record, accepting only recognized GatedActionTrigger values
and rejecting missing or unknown values with null. Keep the existing email,
sentAt, and TTL validation unchanged so email_confirm_banner.tsx receives only
records with a valid trigger.

In `@front_end/src/components/global_modals.tsx`:
- Around line 77-81: Add a loading fallback or mount-time preload to the
EmailCaptureDrawer dynamic import so the first gated tap does not render an
empty interval while the chunk downloads. Keep the existing ssr: false behavior
and ensure the fallback provides immediate visible feedback or preload begins
when the gated control mounts.

In `@front_end/src/components/ui/drawer.tsx`:
- Around line 9-21: Update the Props type used by the drawer component so
callers must provide either title or label, while allowing both when
appropriate; keep the shared fields unchanged and ensure the union preserves the
existing custom-header and standard-header usage patterns.

In `@front_end/src/contexts/modal_context.tsx`:
- Around line 59-65: Define and export a shared EmailCaptureView type in
gated_actions.ts, then update the emailCapture.initialView property in the modal
context and the corresponding EmailCaptureView declaration in
email_capture_drawer.tsx to import and use it instead of duplicating the string
union.

Turnstile tokens are single-use, but neither the capture drawer nor the
dead-link recovery form cleared the spent token or the validated flag after
a submit. In the drawer the widget also unmounted with the input view, so
Resend posted an already-consumed token and its error rendered nowhere:
resend could never succeed with Turnstile enabled. The widget now stays
mounted through the sent view, the token/flag reset after every attempt,
resend waits for a fresh token, and the failure surfaces. Keyless dev keeps
its always-validated behavior.

Also: the recovery form now reports invalid-email and server errors instead
of looking inert; a stored email that no longer validates reopens the
editable input rather than stranding the user behind a hidden field; the
notify CTA stamps viewport on its events so desktop (where it mounts but is
CSS-hidden) stays enrolled yet analysable apart from mobile; the clipboard
toast is localized; and execCommand's boolean result is checked so a refused
copy no longer claims success. The server-side variant lookup now uses
hasAuthSession() to match the middleware's access-or-refresh check.

…n shape

A clipboard write fails for real reasons, permission denied or a non-secure
context among them, and the drawer was passing no errorMessage: the tap simply
did nothing, which reads as a broken button. The wording is the one already
translated for the midterms hub, under a name that is not bound to that page.

The csrf test asserted a UUID because that is what randomUUID returned; hex
from getRandomValues is the shape now.

The component already called itself BottomDrawer; the module it lived in was
just "drawer", which says nothing about the one thing that distinguishes it.
Base UI's own Drawer is imported under that name inside this very file, and
sidebar.tsx uses it for a drawer that comes from the side, so the generic name
was ambiguous in both directions. The action button follows, since it is named
after the drawer it belongs to.

Nothing in the codebase ever set interface_type, so every account from every
path inherited the forecaster default. A visitor is served the consumer view
while signed out, so following one question by email link handed them a
forecaster layout the moment they arrived - a switch they never asked for.

Set at creation rather than on sign-in, so an existing account that uses a
magic link keeps whatever mode its owner chose.

Google needs a signal to tell the two entry points apart, since the pipeline's
create_user serves the ordinary signup modal as well: the callback already
knows the capture drawer sent it, and passes that along on the code exchange.
It travels as the source rather than as a "make this a consumer" flag so the
wire carries the fact and the backend keeps the policy.

"Done" invited the very thing the step is asking the reader not to do - it sat
under a message telling them to go open a link, reading as though the job were
finished. Both shells already close from their own header, so nothing is lost.

The envelope badge was the only decorative icon in the flow, and on mobile it
landed between the drawer's header title and the body text with nothing to
anchor it to.

The captcha container also trailed the terms line, well below the button it
guards. It now renders with the send and resend views rather than once for the
whole sheet: moving between them remounts it, which issues a fresh token, and
single-use tokens mean the next attempt wanted one anyway.

Consuming a link used to happen inside the full site chrome, so the wait was
spent watching things arrive and leave: the confirm-email banner renders
nothing on the server, pops in once hydrated because a pending record exists
and no user does, then vanishes the moment the user appears. The footer sat
high on the short loading page and left as the real one loaded, and the toast
landed while all this was still settling.

The route moves to its own group with no layout, the way (embed) and
(prediction-flow) already do, so nothing renders but the loading view and it
is the first thing painted. The URL is unchanged. The dead-link screen gives
up the navbar with it, which is the ordinary shape of an auth error page.

The destination is prefetched and entered inside a transition, so it is fully
rendered before anything swaps, and a curtain on the far side fades the
handover out. That curtain is armed from an effect rather than during render:
server-rendering a full-viewport overlay left orphaned markup that React never
adopted, sitting opaque over the page forever. Reading the param on every
change also survives the confirmation toast stripping it. It clears on the
animation ending or on a timer, whichever comes first, because a background
tab pauses animations and a stuck curtain hides everything.

Balanced wrapping was breaking "The link signs you in and works for a day" into
a narrow ragged column rather than filling the width it had.

The confirmation email greeted a username the reader has never seen: it is
generated for them at the moment they enter their address, so "Hello
PriorTimekeeper" introduces a stranger. The sign-in email keeps its greeting,
where the name is one the reader chose. Note this leaves that email the only
account template with no greeting at all - siblings that write to someone
without an account yet use a bare "Hello,".

The compiled .html is generated by mjml_compose and gitignored, so this edit
takes effect only once that runs.

Review feedback. The wire contract was never at risk - the boolean stopped at
the server action, which mapped it before calling the API client - but naming
the value at the call site drops a translation step and lets the parameter
mirror the field it becomes. Typed as the literal rather than string, so a
caller cannot invent a source the backend does not know.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A generic sliding ellipsis said nothing about whose site the reader was waiting
on, at the one moment they arrived from an email and needed telling.

The mark turned out to be ideal source material: one closed subpath, no holes,
no curves, so the same path data is both the route the stroke travels and the
mark it resolves into. Sized by height with the width derived, because 13x17 is
not square and both dimensions have to be known before the first paint.

Reduced motion is handled twice on purpose. The phase is decided in an effect,
which is a frame late, so the loop would flash once for someone who asked for
no motion; motion-reduce:!animate-none stops it being painted at all while the
effect still resolves to the filled mark and reports done.

Both keyframes live in globals.css rather than the Tailwind config: their
durations are props applied through inline styles, so no animate-* utility
exists for Tailwind to emit them from - the same reason the orbit keyframes are
there. The fill fade gets its own keyframe instead of borrowing fade-in, which
would only exist while some other component happened to use that utility.

The funnel stopped at someone typing an address. Whether they came back through
the link - the thing the whole flow exists to produce - left no trace at all,
so the drop-off between asking and returning was unmeasurable.

Fired from the success branch, before the awaited profile write, reading the
same pending record the redirect already reads. sameDevice reports whether the
link was opened where it was requested: cross-device arrivals have no local
record, so they carry no trigger or surface, and they are the returns most
likely to be lost.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The effect that starts the close depended on the phase it sets, so it re-ran
the instant it fired and its cleanup cleared the timer meant to carry the mark
on to the fill. The loader reached the closed outline and stayed there: the
fill never appeared and onDone never ran.

Invisible in the app, because the sign-in panel and the curtain both loop and
neither ever completes. It showed up the moment the animation was driven
through a full cycle by hand.

non-scaling-stroke had the browser measuring the dash in screen pixels, which
silently overrode pathLength: the pattern stayed a fixed length on screen while
the outline grew, so one travelling stroke multiplied into a scattering of
ticks as the mark got larger. Dropping it lets pathLength do its job and the
dash becomes a fraction of the outline - one continuous stroke over a sixth of
the M, at every size.

Authoring the stroke in viewBox units rather than screen pixels fixes the
weight the same way: a constant 0.53 units renders as 0.75px for every 24px of
height, so the trace keeps its proportions instead of thinning out. The
strokeWidth prop still speaks in rendered pixels and is converted through the
same scale.

The five translated locale files conflicted, all of it adjacent-line noise:
main added four keys, this branch added seventy-two, and none of them overlap.
Resolved as a union of the three stages, taking main's value wherever only
main touched a key and carrying its deletions across, since a plain union
would quietly resurrect anything main had dropped.

en.json merged on its own, and every locale is now at full parity with it -
the three aggregation-explorer keys that had been missing since #4806 arrived
translated with this merge.
