Closes #169

Intent

Fix the authorization gap on getSharedCampaign (issue #169) so it is no longer accessible to just anyone holding a shared campaign code. getCatalog(catalogId: ID!) is intentionally accessible to any authenticated user and must NOT be changed - it stays authenticated-only with no owner/isPublic check. Required behavior: only users granted access to the campaign via the share/invite model should be able to redeem/view it; the brief delegated choosing the simplest correct authorization model (either authentication plus a share-record check, or binding redemption to the invite/share model). Decision made: the data model has no per-user grant table for shared campaigns, and the createCampaign redemption Lambda accepts the code from any authenticated user - the shared campaign code is a bearer capability, the same model as profile invite codes (redeemProfileInvite requires only code plus authentication). A share-record check would require a new grant/invite system and would break first-time redemption, so authentication is the simplest correct model, which the issue explicitly lists as an acceptable option. Implemented: @aws_cognito_user_pools on Query.getSharedCampaign, an explicit unauthorized guard on missing identity in get_shared_campaign_request.vtl, and integration tests proving unauthenticated access is rejected while an authenticated non-creator can still retrieve by code (existing redemption flow). Acceptance criteria: unauthorized/unauthenticated access to getSharedCampaign is rejected; existing authorized flows continue to work; getCatalog unchanged.

What Changed

  • Added @aws_cognito_user_pools to Query.getSharedCampaign in tofu/application/schema/schema.graphql and an explicit $ctx.identity unauthorized guard in get_shared_campaign_request.vtl so only authenticated users can view/redeem a shared campaign by its code.
  • Documented the authenticated-only and bearer-capability authorization patterns in AGENT.md, including the shared-campaign code-as-capability model, and fixed the broken AGENT.md link in docs/SCHEMA.md.
  • Added integration tests proving unauthenticated access is rejected and that any authenticated user holding a valid shared campaign code can still retrieve it.

Risk Assessment

⚠️ Medium: The targeted getSharedCampaign fix is correct and matches intent, but the same SharedCampaign data remains publicly exposed through the unauthenticated findSharedCampaigns sibling query.

Testing

I inspected the diff and verified getSharedCampaign now has @aws_cognito_user_pools and an explicit $ctx.identity unauthorized guard in its VTL, while getCatalog remains authenticated-only with no owner/isPublic check. The local JS resolver suite passes. I attempted the new sharedCampaignCrud integration tests, but the harness skipped all 15 tests because AWS credentials have expired and no explicit TEST_APPSYNC_ENDPOINT / Cognito env vars are configured, so live AppSync end-to-end evidence could not be collected in this environment. Transient test dependencies were removed and the worktree is clean.

Evidence: Schema and VTL verification

getSharedCampaign had no authorization directive and its request mapping
template performed no access check. The shared campaign code is the bearer
capability for redemption (same model as profile invite codes): the
createCampaign Lambda accepts the code from any authenticated user, and
there is no per-user grant table for shared campaigns. The simplest correct
authorization model is therefore authentication — matching getCatalog.

- Add @aws_cognito_user_pools to Query.getSharedCampaign so the field is
  explicitly restricted to authenticated users even if additional auth
  providers are ever added to the API.
- Add an explicit $util.unauthorized() guard in
  get_shared_campaign_request.vtl when no identity is present.
- getCatalog is unchanged: authenticated-only, no owner/isPublic check.

Tests: integration coverage rejecting unauthenticated getSharedCampaign and
confirming an authenticated non-creator can still retrieve by code (the
existing redemption flow).
