Cursor
auth
Complete Authentication Flow Broken
After Cursor refactored multiple authentication-related files, the entire login/logout flow is broken. Users cannot log in or stay logged in, and the app behaves inconsistently across pages.
Multiple components of the auth system may be broken.
Error Messages You Might See
Login fails
Stay logged in not working
Protected routes accessible to guests
Logout not working
Common Causes
- Login endpoint broken, not returning token
- Token storage removed (localStorage/session)
- Auth context/state not shared across routes
- Protected routes check broken
- Logout clears storage but not auth state
How to Fix It
Trace full flow: login → token returned → stored → used in requests → protected routes check → logout clears. Check each step. Use auth context to share state app-wide. Console.log at each step. Verify token in DevTools Storage tab.

I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I protect routes?
Check auth state before rendering. Redirect to login if not authenticated. Use HOC or middleware pattern.
What's the safest place to store tokens?
HttpOnly cookies (not XSS vulnerable). localStorage if that's not available. Never store in React state (lost on refresh).
