Overview

This PR implements mobile biometric Passkey integration via Capacitor and introduces an opt-in encrypted seed phrase recovery fallback for the smart wallet.


Changes

1. Capacitor Mobile Biometrics Starter

  • Built a Capacitor 6 + React + Vite starter project inside examples/capacitor/.
  • Implemented a WebAuthn credentials shim (examples/capacitor/src/shim.ts) that intercepts navigator.credentials and drives iOS & Android biometric prompt flows using @capgo/capacitor-native-biometric.
  • Added a React frontend implementation (examples/capacitor/src/App.tsx) illustrating registration, wallet contract deployment, and a full mock payment flow.
  • Closes Capacitor (iOS + Android) example #230

2. Encrypted Seed Phrase Fallback (Recovery Flow)

  • Added frontend/wallet/lib/recovery.ts supporting BIP-39 mnemonic generation, key derivation, AES-GCM encryption/decryption, and IndexedDB storage.
  • Implemented the settings configuration page (frontend/wallet/app/settings/page.tsx) enabling users to opt-in, write down their seed phrase, and encrypt it locally while registering the derived public key as a contract signer.
  • Implemented the recovery interface (frontend/wallet/app/recover/page.tsx) allowing users to restore their wallet using their 12-word recovery phrase.
  • Closes Encrypted seed-phrase fallback (recovery flow) #232

3. Contract Upgrades & Bugfixes

  • Extended __check_auth in the smart contracts to support direct P-256 signatures (parts.len() == 3 branch) from the BIP-39 recovery key.
  • Resolved contract compilation issues, specified type parameters for Vec::from_array, and added low-S signature normalization across test fixtures to align with Soroban v22 validation constraints.
  • Closes Visual regression tests for dashboard (Chromatic or Percy) #223

Thanks for the thorough test snapshots and the factory on-curve validation — but there's a critical security issue in the contract change that blocks this, and the PR scope needs splitting.

🔴 Blocking: new raw-ECDSA auth path bypasses WebAuthn + uses unsafe transmute

The new parts.len() == 3 branch in __check_auth adds a second authentication path that verifies a raw P-256 signature over the payload directly, with no WebAuthn ceremony:

let payload_hash: soroban_sdk::crypto::Hash<32> =
    unsafe { core::mem::transmute(signature_payload) };
env.crypto().secp256r1_verify(&public_key, &payload_hash, &sig_bytes);

Two serious problems:

  1. unsafe { core::mem::transmute(...) } in the wallet's auth path is not acceptable. BytesN<32> and Hash<32> are distinct types with no layout guarantee — this is UB-adjacent and will break on any SDK internal change. There is a safe construction; follow the pattern the existing 5-part WebAuthn branch already uses to obtain the digest, rather than transmuting.

  2. It bypasses the entire WebAuthn security model. The 5-part path binds authenticatorData (rpIdHash), clientDataJSON (origin + challenge), and the host-computed payload. This new path checks none of that — it accepts any raw signature over the payload from a registered key. For a passkey wallet whose private key is non-extractable in a secure enclave, a raw-signature path is both unusable in practice and a real attack-surface expansion if a key is ever exported. This is a fundamental change to the threat model and can't ride in on a mobile-starter PR.

🟠 Scope

This PR mixes (a) contract __check_auth changes, (b) factory validate_public_key hardening, (c) ~50 generated test_snapshots, (d) a binary mock_wallet.wasm, and (e) a Capacitor starter + "encrypted seed-phrase recovery." Please split:

  • The factory on-curve check (from_sec1_bytes) is a good standalone change — send it as its own small PR. Note it contradicts the existing comment about skipping validation for CPU cost, so update that comment.
  • The Capacitor starter + recovery UI can be its own PR with no contract changes.
  • Drop the contract __check_auth change entirely unless there's a concrete, reviewed design for non-WebAuthn signing.

Happy to fast-track the factory validation split.

Thanks for syncing with main, but the merge commit (48f4ff3d) doesn't address any of the review feedback — the blocking items are unchanged, and there's now a new conflict:

  1. unsafe { core::mem::transmute(signature_payload) } is still in __check_auth. This is the hard blocker — please remove it; there's a safe way to obtain the digest (see how the existing WebAuthn branch does it).
  2. The raw-ECDSA parts.len() == 3 branch still bypasses the WebAuthn ceremony (no origin / rpId / challenge binding).
  3. New collision: since you merged main, the contract now has two parts.len() == 3 branches — #247 landed an ed25519 session-key branch ([key_id, ed25519_sig, nonce]) that's also 3 elements, and yours is [public_key, sig_bytes, nonce]. They're mutually exclusive; whichever matches first wins. The contract auth path can't have both.

As I noted before, the cleanest path is to drop the contract __check_auth change entirely and ship this as just the Capacitor starter + recovery UI (no contract changes). The factory validate_public_key on-curve check is a good standalone — send that as its own small PR. Right now the wallet auth changes can't be merged.

Happy to review the Capacitor-only version quickly.

Big improvement — the blocking security issues are resolved: the unsafe transmute is gone, the raw-ECDSA bypass branch is gone, and you're now building on the ed25519 session keys from #247 without weakening them. Thank you for that.

Two things still stand between this and merge, both mechanical:

🔴 1. Remove committed build artifacts

  • frontend/wallet/public/sw.js (the +1/−101 churn) — generated by the PWA build
  • contracts/factory/test-fixtures/mock_wallet.wasm — binary blob

git rm --cached these and make sure they're gitignored; they shouldn't be in the diff.

🟠 2. Split the PR — it's 78 files / +10,834

Right now this bundles at least four separable things. Please break it up:

  • A) Capacitor starter (examples/capacitor/**) — its own PR, no contract changes
  • B) Recovery flow (frontend/wallet/lib/recovery.ts + recover/settings page changes) — its own PR
  • C) Factory validate_public_key on-curve check — tiny standalone PR (this one I'll merge fast)
  • Please also drop the re-indentation churn on session_key.rs's tests — those just landed via #247 and don't need reformatting here.

Each of those is reviewable and mergeable on its own; as one 78-file PR it isn't. I've approved CI so the Rust build runs. Once it's split + artifacts removed, I'll merge the pieces quickly.

Merging — critical security items resolved (no transmute, no raw-ECDSA bypass; #247's ed25519 session keys intact) and CI is green (Rust build & test, SDK, frontend, agent all pass). Cleaning up the committed PWA build artifacts on main as a follow-up.
