# API Key Authorization & Model Selection Implementation

## Summary

Implemented CORS-based authorization to prevent CLI/unauthorized users from using platform API keys, while allowing authorized widget embeds. Also added per-community model configuration.

## What Was Implemented

### 1. Per-Community Model Configuration

Added two new optional fields to `CommunityConfig`:

```yaml
# src/assistants/hed/config.yaml
default_model: "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet"  # Optional model override
default_model_provider: null                   # Optional provider routing
```

**Model Selection Priority:**
1. User requests custom model (from request body) → requires BYOK
2. Community has `default_model` → use it
3. Platform `default_model` (from Settings) → fallback

### 2. CORS-Based API Key Authorization

**The Problem:**
- CLI users could use platform API keys (costing the platform money)
- No way to distinguish legitimate widget embeds from unauthorized usage
- Custom model abuse (users requesting expensive models without BYOK)

**The Solution:**
Use the `Origin` header to determine authorization:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request Flow                                                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

IF user provides BYOK (X-OpenRouter-Key header):
    ✓ ALLOWED - Use user's key
    ✓ Can use any model (including custom models)

ELSE IF Origin header matches community's cors_origins:
    ✓ ALLOWED - Authorized widget embed
    ✓ Can use community/platform key
    ✓ Can only use community/platform default models

ELSE (no BYOK, no Origin, or unauthorized Origin):
    ✗ REJECTED - 403 Error
    ✗ This blocks: CLI without BYOK, unauthorized websites, API clients
```

### 3. Custom Model Restrictions

**Rule:** Custom models ALWAYS require BYOK

```
User requests model different from community/platform default:
    IF no BYOK:
        ✗ 403 Error: "Custom model '{model}' requires your own API key"
    ELSE:
        ✓ ALLOWED - Use custom model with user's key
```

This prevents abuse of expensive models on platform keys.

## Implementation Details

### New Helper Functions

#### `_is_authorized_origin(origin, community_id)`
Validates Origin header against community's `cors_origins` config.
- Supports exact origins: `https://hedtags.org`
- Supports wildcards: `https://*.pages.dev`
- Returns `False` if no Origin (CLI, mobile apps)

#### `_select_api_key(community_id, byok, origin)`
Selects API key with authorization checks.
- Raises HTTP 403 if BYOK required but not provided
- Returns tuple: `(api_key, source)` where source is "byok", "community", or "platform"

#### `_select_model(community_info, requested_model, has_byok)`
Selects model with custom model restrictions.
- Raises HTTP 403 if custom model requested without BYOK
- Returns tuple: `(model, provider)`

### Modified Endpoints

Both `/ask` and `/chat` endpoints now:
1. Accept `Request` parameter to access Origin header
2. Accept `model` parameter in request body (optional)
3. Extract origin and pass to `create_community_assistant`
4. Include BYOK and custom model documentation

### Request Body Changes

```python
class AskRequest(BaseModel):
    question: str
    stream: bool = False
    page_context: PageContext | None = None
    model: str | None = None  # NEW: Optional model override

class ChatRequest(BaseModel):
    message: str
    session_id: str | None = None
    stream: bool = True
    model: str | None = None  # NEW: Optional model override
```

## Security Analysis

### Attack Vectors Blocked

1. **CLI without BYOK** ✓
   - No Origin header → 403 error

2. **Unauthorized website** ✓
   - Origin not in cors_origins → 403 error

3. **API clients (curl, Postman)** ✓
   - No Origin header → 403 error

4. **Custom model abuse** ✓
   - Custom model without BYOK → 403 error

5. **Browser extensions** ✓
   - No Origin header → 403 error

### Legitimate Use Cases Allowed

1. **Widget on authorized site** ✓
   - Origin matches cors_origins → uses community/platform key

2. **CLI with BYOK** ✓
   - Provides X-OpenRouter-Key → uses their key

3. **Custom model with BYOK** ✓
   - Provides both model and X-OpenRouter-Key → uses their key + custom model

### Why Origin-Based?

1. **Browser-enforced** - Origin header cannot be spoofed by web browsers
2. **Reuses existing CORS config** - No duplicate security configuration
3. **Automatic validation** - CORS middleware already validates these origins
4. **Standards-compliant** - Uses standard HTTP headers

## Examples

### Example 1: Widget User (Authorized)

```javascript
// Widget embedded on https://hedtags.org
fetch('https://api.osc.earth/osa/hed/ask', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    // Origin: https://hedtags.org (sent automatically by browser)
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    question: "What is HED?"
    // No model specified - uses platform default
  })
})
// ✓ SUCCESS - Origin matches HED's cors_origins
// ✓ Uses community or platform API key
```

### Example 2: CLI User (Must Provide BYOK)

```bash
# Without BYOK - FAILS
curl -X POST https://api.osc.earth/osa/hed/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question": "What is HED?"}'
# ✗ 403 Error: "API key required. Please provide your OpenRouter API key..."

# With BYOK - SUCCESS
curl -X POST https://api.osc.earth/osa/hed/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-OpenRouter-Key: sk-or-v1-..." \
  -d '{"question": "What is HED?"}'
# ✓ SUCCESS - Uses user's API key
```

### Example 3: Custom Model Request

```javascript
// Without BYOK - FAILS
fetch('https://api.osc.earth/osa/hed/ask', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Origin': 'https://hedtags.org'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    question: "What is HED?",
    model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4"  // Custom model
  })
})
// ✗ 403 Error: "Custom model 'anthropic/claude-opus-4' requires your own API key..."

// With BYOK - SUCCESS
fetch('https://api.osc.earth/osa/hed/ask', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Origin': 'https://hedtags.org',
    'X-OpenRouter-Key': 'sk-or-v1-...'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    question: "What is HED?",
    model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4"
  })
})
// ✓ SUCCESS - Uses user's API key with custom model
```

### Example 4: Community Default Model

```yaml
# src/assistants/hed/config.yaml
default_model: "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet"
default_model_provider: null
```

```javascript
// Widget request - uses community default
fetch('https://api.osc.earth/osa/hed/ask', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Origin': 'https://hedtags.org'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    question: "What is HED?"
    // No model specified
  })
})
// ✓ SUCCESS - Uses HED's default_model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet)
// ✓ Uses community or platform API key
```

## Error Messages

Clear, actionable error messages guide users:

```json
// CLI without BYOK
{
  "error": "API key required. Please provide your OpenRouter API key via the X-OpenRouter-Key header. Get your key at: https://openrouter.ai/keys"
}

// Custom model without BYOK
{
  "error": "Custom model 'anthropic/claude-opus-4' requires your own API key. Please provide your OpenRouter API key via the X-OpenRouter-Key header. Get your key at: https://openrouter.ai/keys"
}

// No API key configured (server error)
{
  "error": "No API key configured for this community. Please contact support."
}
```

## Configuration Examples

### Community with Custom Model

```yaml
# src/assistants/bids/config.yaml
id: bids
name: BIDS
description: Brain Imaging Data Structure

# Use a faster model for BIDS
default_model: "openai/gpt-oss-120b"
default_model_provider: "Cerebras"

# Dedicated API key for cost tracking
openrouter_api_key_env_var: "OPENROUTER_API_KEY_BIDS"

# Widget origins
cors_origins:
  - https://bids.neuroimaging.io
  - https://*.bids.dev
```

### Community Using Platform Defaults

```yaml
# src/assistants/eeglab/config.yaml
id: eeglab
name: EEGLAB
description: EEG analysis toolbox

# No default_model - uses platform default
# No openrouter_api_key_env_var - uses platform key

cors_origins:
  - https://sccn.ucsd.edu
```

## Next Steps

1. **Add comprehensive tests** (see test cases above)
2. **Update README** with:
