Purpose

Candidates that Paraform recruiters submit now show up in OpenATS by themselves. Each one is imported into the job its Paraform role is linked to. When an admin turns it on, advance and reject decisions go back to Paraform.

Three smaller fixes come with it:

  • js-yaml 5: the package has no default export, so yaml.load was undefined and app.ts threw on import. Every integration test that imports the app failed.
  • Request log: the log printed the full URL, so a Google or Paraform sign-in callback wrote its one-time code and state to it. Secret query values are now replaced with [redacted] (utils/redact-url.ts).
  • Candidate link tokens: a candidate's private link (/public/assessment, assignment, offers and interview/<token>) works for whoever holds the token, and the request log printed it in full. The token is now logged as [redacted]. The three assessment error messages that printed it now use a short one-way fingerprint, so related log lines can still be matched. A test reads public.routes.ts and fails if a new :token route is not covered.

Approach

  • Settings → Integrations → Hiring partners (super admins only): connect, link Paraform roles to jobs, turn sending decisions on or off, run a sync now, and read the sync log in plain language.
  • Sign-in: uses Paraform's OAuth server with dynamic client registration and PKCE, so nothing is set up by hand. Tokens are encrypted with ENCRYPTION_KEY.
  • MCP client: a small Streamable HTTP client for Paraform's hiring-manager server (shared/integrations/paraform/).
  • Schedule: a BullMQ job runs every 15 minutes and on demand, one run at a time, in the existing background worker.
  • Safe to run again: each Paraform submission gets one link row. A direct applicant with the same email is linked, not duplicated. Each decision is sent once, and a rejection is final. These rules are pure code in paraform-sync-rules.ts, with unit tests.
  • Schema: migration 0046_paraform_sync.sql adds the Paraform tables and enums. 0047_paraform_one_running_sync.sql adds a partial unique index so only one sync can be running.
  • Review fixes (from CodeRabbit): a 429 or 5xx while refreshing the token no longer marks the connection as needing a reconnect, only a 400 or 401 does. The sync log names candidate or submission ids, never a name or email, because it is kept after a candidate is deleted. Existing candidates are matched by email in lower case, and a submission matching two candidates is skipped. One run at a time is enforced by the database.

Not done yet: the arguments and results of the hiring-manager tools (listHmRoles, listHmCandidates, decideOnSubmission) are not mapped. Paraform does not publish them, and reading them needs an account with hiring-manager MCP access. Until they are mapped, those calls fail with a clear message in the UI and the sync log.

Checklist

  • pnpm test passes locally (639 backend, 793 frontend). Backend lint, the three type-checks and the backend build also pass.
  • Schema changes include the generated migration files.
  • Documentation is updated if behaviour changed: a new guide, Using OpenATS → Import from Paraform, plus the environment variable docs (API_PUBLIC_URL) and CLAUDE.md. The docs site build (docusaurus build) is broken on main by a duplicate Docusaurus install; fix(docs): build the docs site again by deduplicating postcss #182 fixes it, and with that fix this PR's docs build cleanly.
  • No keys, passwords or tokens are committed.

Imports candidates that Paraform recruiters submit into the job each role is
linked to, and (when an admin turns it on) sends advance/reject decisions back.

- Settings → Integrations → Hiring partners (super admins): connect, link
  roles to jobs, decisions switch, Sync now, plain-language sync log

  so nothing is configured by hand; tokens encrypted with ENCRYPTION_KEY
- Small Streamable HTTP MCP client for Paraform's hiring-manager server
- BullMQ job every 15 minutes plus on demand; one run at a time
- Idempotent: one link row per Paraform submission; a direct applicant with
  the same email is linked, not duplicated; each decision sent once and a
  rejection is final

Not done: mapping the hiring-manager tools' arguments and results
(listHmRoles, listHmCandidates, decideOnSubmission). Paraform does not
publish them, and reading them needs an account with hiring-manager MCP
access. Until then those calls fail with a clear message in the UI and log.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Paraform OAuth and MCP access, administrative connection and role-link controls, and scheduled and manual sync processing. The frontend adds Paraform settings and sync history. Role, submission, and decision tool mappings remain pending. Request logs now redact sensitive URL values and assessment-token logs use fingerprints.

Changes: Paraform integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sync data model
backend/drizzle/0046_paraform_sync.sql, backend/drizzle/0047_paraform_one_running_sync.sql, backend/drizzle/meta/_journal.json, backend/src/db/schema/*
Adds enums and tables for the connection, role links, candidate links, and sync runs. A partial unique index limits the database to one running sync.
OAuth, MCP, and connection lifecycle
backend/src/shared/integrations/paraform/*, backend/src/modules/paraform/paraform-connection.service.ts, backend/src/modules/integrations/oauth.routes.ts, backend/tests/unit/paraform-{oauth,mcp-client}.test.ts, docs/docs/getting-started/environment-variables.md
Adds PKCE OAuth, sealed sign-in state, token exchange and refresh, an authenticated MCP client, and callback handling. The connection service stores encrypted tokens and checks access.
Connection and role administration
backend/src/modules/paraform/paraform.{service,controller,routes}.ts, backend/src/routes/index.ts, frontend/hooks/queries/use-paraform.ts, frontend/app/(dashboard)/settings/integrations/_components/paraform-roles.tsx
Adds admin endpoints and services for connection overview, access checks, settings, role links, sync requests, and recent runs. Frontend hooks and role controls call these endpoints.
Candidate synchronization and background execution
backend/src/modules/paraform/paraform-sync-{rules,service}.ts, backend/src/queues/paraform-sync/*, backend/src/queues/start-workers.ts, backend/src/worker.ts, backend/tests/{integration/paraform-sync.test.ts,unit/paraform-sync-rules.test.ts}
Adds import planning, candidate linking or creation, decision rules, run tracking, and scheduled or manual queue processing. Tests cover imports, run concurrency, refresh behavior, decision delivery, and settings endpoints.
Settings and sync-run display
frontend/app/(dashboard)/settings/integrations/_components/{oauth-callback-toast,paraform-section,paraform-sync-log}.tsx, frontend/app/(dashboard)/settings/integrations/page.tsx, frontend/tests/paraform-sync-log.test.ts, docs/docs/using-openats/paraform.md, docs/sidebars.ts, CLAUDE.md
Adds the Paraform settings section and sync log to the integrations page. Documentation describes setup, sync behavior, and current mapping limitations.

Request-log token redaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
URL redaction and token fingerprints
backend/src/utils/redact-url.ts, backend/src/app.ts, backend/src/modules/assessment-execution/assessment-execution.controller.ts, backend/tests/unit/redact-url.test.ts
Redacts secret query values and tokens in specified public-link paths. Assessment error logs record token fingerprints instead of raw tokens. Tests cover URL redaction and fingerprints.

Other small edits

Layer / File(s) Summary
YAML loader import

A candidate's private link (/public/assessment, assignment, offers and
interview/<token>) works for whoever holds the token, and the request log
printed it in full. The token segment is now logged as [redacted], and the
three assessment error messages that printed it use a short one-way
fingerprint instead, so related lines can still be matched.

A test reads public.routes.ts and fails if a new route with :token in its
path is not covered.

Review comments at @backend/src/modules/paraform/paraform-connection.service.ts:
- Around line 130-136: Update the catch handling around refreshTokens so
markNeedsReconnect and ParaformNotConnectedError are used only for a confirmed
refresh-token rejection. Establish the supported error signal for that rejection
before classifying it; let transient failures such as HTTP 429 and 5xx propagate
without marking the connection for reconnect.

Review comments at @backend/src/modules/paraform/paraform-sync-rules.ts:
- Around line 35-61: Update problem construction in planImports and the
corresponding problem entries in importRole and sendDecisions so persisted
sync-log messages contain no candidate names or email addresses; identify each
submission by its Paraform submission ID, or by the OpenATS candidate ID when
available. Preserve the existing skip and error behavior while ensuring run
stores only these ID-based messages in paraform_sync_runs.problems.

Review comments at @backend/src/modules/paraform/paraform-sync.service.ts:
- Around line 288-304: Make the one-running-run guard atomic by adding a partial
unique index on running rows in the Paraform sync-runs schema or migration, then
update the run insert flow to return null when that index rejects a concurrent
insert while propagating unrelated errors. Keep stale-run cleanup before the
insert.
- Around line 110-141: Update the existing-candidate lookup and existingByEmail
construction in the Paraform sync flow to compare emails case-insensitively.
Handle multiple candidates with the same normalized email using an explicit
ambiguity-safe resolution; do not let row order or Map overwrites choose one
arbitrarily. Ensure planImports receives only a safely resolved match.

Review comments at @backend/src/shared/integrations/paraform/oauth.ts:
- Around line 56-62: Update ParaformOAuthError and the postForm error path to
retain the HTTP status and OAuth error code when a response is unsuccessful,
leaving the code absent when the response has no string error value. Preserve
the existing error message so callers such as getValidAccessToken can
distinguish refused credentials from temporary service failures.

- A 429 or 5xx while refreshing the Paraform token no longer marks the
  connection as needing a reconnect. ParaformOAuthError keeps the HTTP
  status and OAuth error code; only a 400 or 401 (isRefusedCredentials)
  asks the admin to sign in again. A temporary failure ends that run
  with a message saying no reconnect is needed.
- The sync log names candidate or Paraform submission ids, never a
  name, an email or Paraform's error text. paraform_sync_runs is kept
  after a candidate is deleted.
- Existing candidates are matched by email in lower case, because a
  staff edit saves an email as typed. When two candidates in the job
  match, the submission is skipped instead of linked to either.
- Only one sync runs at a time, now enforced by a partial unique index
  on the running row (migration 0047) rather than a check before the
  insert, which two workers could both pass.

- New guide, Using OpenATS > Import from Paraform: connecting, linking
  roles to jobs, how candidates come in, sending decisions back, the
  sync log, and reconnecting. It says plainly that roles and candidates
  cannot be read yet, until Paraform's hiring-manager tools are mapped.
- Environment variables: API_PUBLIC_URL (the Paraform sign-in returns
  there), and ENCRYPTION_KEY also protects the Paraform connection.
- CLAUDE.md: the Paraform module, and the rule that request logs never
  hold sign-in codes or candidate link tokens.

Remove query parameters from assessment error logs.

If getAttemptByToken fails during its token lookup, Drizzle ORM 0.45.4 puts the query parameters in the error message. getErrorMessage(error) then logs the raw assessment token in each of these catch blocks. The fingerprint does not protect that second log field. Log a vetted error code or a redacted diagnostic instead of the raw message. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Based on learnings, “Request logs never hold secrets,” and serialized error text must be checked for tokens before logging.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Check the OAuth error code in isRefusedCredentials, not only the HTTP status.

isRefusedCredentials returns true for every ParaformOAuthError with status 400 or 401. postForm stores the OAuth error value in code, but this function ignores it.

RFC 6749 §5.2 uses 400 and 401 for several different errors. Examples are invalid_request and unauthorized_client, which usually mean a request or configuration fault. A 400 with a non-JSON body also gives code === undefined and still returns true.

In all these cases getValidAccessToken calls markNeedsReconnect. This stops all syncing until a super admin signs in again, although the stored refresh token may still be valid.

Restrict the check to the codes that show a rejected credential. Add a unit test that ParaformOAuthError("x", 400, "invalid_request") and ParaformOAuthError("x", 400) return false. The existing tests that use invalid_grant and invalid_client still pass.

 }
 
 export type ParaformTokens = {
   accessToken: string;

Based on learnings: "check the parsed OAuth error field in the token endpoint's JSON error body rather than the HTTP status code alone" and "only clear stored tokens and downgrade user state ... on authentication errors".

lines 35 - 40:
Update isRefusedCredentials to inspect the parsed OAuth error code as well as
the HTTP status, returning false for invalid_request and missing codes while
preserving recognition of invalid_grant and invalid_client. Add unit tests for
those false cases and retain the existing credential-error tests.

Redact candidate-link paths regardless of route casing.

Express 5 matches routes without regard to case by default. A request for /PUBLIC/offers/SECRET-TOKEN can reach the public offer route, but TOKEN_PATH does not match it. Morgan then writes the bearer token to the request log. Make the path matcher case-insensitive and test mixed-case paths. (expressjs.com)

Based on learnings, “Request logs never hold secrets.”

Update TOKEN_PATH in the redaction utility to match the supported public
candidate-link routes regardless of letter casing, while preserving the existing
token-segment boundaries. Add coverage for mixed-case paths to verify their
tokens are redacted.

Hi @chamals3n4, could you approve the CI workflow runs for this PR? GitHub holds them because it comes from a first-time contributor's fork. The latest run, for 066156f, is here: https://github.com/chamals3n4/OpenATS/actions/runs/42710718642

Locally, all tests pass (639 backend, 793 frontend), along with lint, the type-checks and the backend build. The CodeRabbit findings are fixed and answered in their threads.

If you'd like this in the release notes under Features, it also needs the Type/New Feature label. Thanks!
