+# Plan: Background New Activity JWT — extended expiry + token pool
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-27 14:29 PST  
+**Status:** Draft for implementation  
+**Audience:** TimeSafari / crowd-funder developers  
+**Related:** `doc/endorser-jwt-background-prefetch-options.md`, `android/.../TimeSafariNativeFetcher.java`, `src/services/notifications/nativeFetcherConfig.ts`, `src/libs/crypto/index.ts`
+
+---
+
+## 1. Problem statement
+
+Background prefetch for New Activity calls Endorser with a Bearer JWT configured via `configureNativeFetcher`. The token previously came from `getHeaders()` → `accessToken()`, which used **`exp` ≈ 60 seconds** (`src/libs/crypto/index.ts`). Prefetch runs **minutes later** in WorkManager **without JavaScript**, so the JWT can be **expired** before the POST (`JWT_VERIFY_FAILED`).
+
+**Goals:**
+
+1. Use JWTs whose **`exp`** covers the gap between **last app-side configure** and **prefetch** (and ideally days without opening the app).
+2. Optionally support a **pool** of distinct JWT strings so Endorser can enforce **duplicate-JWT** / **one-time-use** rules without breaking daily prefetch. **Pool size** should follow **`expiryDays + buffer`** (one distinct token per day over the JWT lifetime, plus headroom for retries / edge cases); **implementation uses `BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE = 100`** until policy changes.
+3. Keep pool size and expiry policy **easy to change** (constants / remote config later).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Guiding principles
+
+| Principle | Implication |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| **Background has no JS** | Token selection and HTTP must run in **native** (or plugin) code using **persisted** data. |
+| **Single source of truth for signing** | Continue using **`createEndorserJwtForDid`** (same keys as today); do not fork crypto in Java/Kotlin. |
+| **Configurable pool size** | One constant `BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE`; **currently 100**. Size should satisfy **`≥ expiryDays + buffer`** (see below). |
+| **Phased delivery** | Ship **extended expiry** first; add **pool** when server duplicate rules require it or in the same release if coordinated. |
+
+### 2.1 Pool size rationale (`expiryDays + buffer`)
+
+For **one New Activity prefetch per day**, each day should use a **distinct** JWT string if the server rejects reuse. Over the JWT lifetime (aligned with **`exp`**), you need at least **one token per day** the pool might be used without regeneration.
+
+**Rule of thumb:**
+
+```text
+BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE ≥ ceil(BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS) + BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_BUFFER
+```
+
+- **`BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS`** — human-facing match to `exp` (e.g. **90**); convert to `BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_SECONDS` for the payload.
+- **`BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_BUFFER`** — extra slots for **same-day retries**, manual tests, or stricter duplicate rules (e.g. **10**).
+
+**Example:** 90‑day `exp` + buffer 10 ⇒ **minimum 100** logical slots. **This plan keeps `BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE = 100`** as the shipped default so it matches that example; if `expiryDays` or buffer change later, **bump the constant** so the inequality still holds.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Phases
+
+### Phase A — Extended expiry only (minimum viable)
+
+**Scope**
+
+- Introduce a dedicated mint path for **background / native fetcher** use (name TBD, e.g. `accessTokenForBackgroundNotifications(did)`), producing **one** JWT per configure call with:
+  - `iss`: DID (unchanged)
+  - `iat`: now
+  - `exp`: now + **`BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_SECONDS`** (derived from **`BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS`**; see §2.1 / Phase B constants — **confirm** with Endorser policy)
+  - Optional: `jti` or nonce for uniqueness if needed for logging/debug
+
+- **`configureNativeFetcherIfReady`** should pass this token (or keep using a thin wrapper) instead of reusing the **60s** `accessToken()` when configuring native fetcher **only** — **do not** change interactive `getHeaders()` / passkey caching behavior for normal API calls unless product asks for it.
+
+**Files (likely)**
+
+- `src/libs/crypto/index.ts` — new function or parameters; keep `accessToken()` default at 60s for existing callers.
+- `src/services/notifications/nativeFetcherConfig.ts` — obtain background JWT via the new mint path, not `getHeaders()`’s generic path, **or** add a dedicated branch that calls the new mint after resolving `did`.
+
+**Native**
+
+- **`TimeSafariNativeFetcher`**: still one `jwtToken` field; no pool yet. Ensure `configure()` is called whenever TS refreshes (startup, resume, Account — already partially covered).
+
+**Exit criteria**
+
+- Logcat: prefetch POST returns **200** (or non-expired 4xx) when user has not opened the app for several **minutes** after configure.
+- Endorser accepts **`exp`** far enough in the future (coordinate TTL policy).
+
+---
+
+### Phase B — Token pool (size 100; driven by `expiryDays + buffer`)
+
+**Why**
+
+- Endorser may **reject duplicate JWT strings** (same bearer used twice). One long-lived token could fail on **day 2** if the server marks each JWT as consumed.
+- A **pool** of **N** distinct JWTs (different payload, e.g. unique `jti` per token) gives **N** independent strings with the same long **`exp`**. **N** should follow **§2.1** (`expiryDays + buffer`); **100** is the initial **`BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE`** (satisfies e.g. 90 + 10).
+
+**Scope**
+
+1. **Constants** (single place, e.g. `src/constants/backgroundJwt.ts` or next to native fetcher config):
+
+   ```text
+   BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS = 90              // align with Endorser; drives exp
+   BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_SECONDS = 90 * 24 * 60 * 60  // derived
+   BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_BUFFER = 10            // retries / headroom; tune with server team
+   BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE = 100               // must be >= expiryDays + buffer; adjust if policy changes
+   ```
+
+2. **Mint in TS** (uses `createEndorserJwtForDid`):
+
+   - Loop `i = 0 .. POOL_SIZE - 1`
+   - Payload: `{ iss, iat, exp, jti: `${did}#bg#${i}` or uuid }` — **confirm** `jti` format with Endorser if required.
+
+3. **Persistence** — native code must read the pool **without JS**:
+
+   - **Option B1 (preferred):** Implement in **`@timesafari/daily-notification-plugin`** (not in the app): extend **`configureNativeFetcher`** to accept an optional JWT pool, persist it for native read. **Handoff spec:** `doc/plugin-feedback-daily-notification-configureNativeFetcher-jwt-pool.md` — copy or reference that file in the plugin repo PR.
+   - **Option B2 (app-only, no plugin release):** Write JSON to **Capacitor Preferences** or **encrypted storage** from TS; **TimeSafariNativeFetcher** reads the same store on Android (requires knowing Capacitor’s Android `SharedPreferences` name/key convention or a tiny **bridge** in `MainActivity`). Use only if plugin work is deferred.
+
+4. **Selection policy in `TimeSafariNativeFetcher`** (before each POST):
+
+   - **By calendar day:** `index = (epochDay + offset) % POOL_SIZE` (stable per day).
+   - Or **sequential:** persist `lastUsedIndex` in prefs and increment (wrap). **Decision:** document chosen policy; day-based is easier to reason about for “one token per day.”
+
+5. **configureNativeFetcherIfReady** (and any “reset notifications on startup” hook):
+
+   - Regenerate full pool when user opens app (per product decision), then call configure with pool + **current** `apiBaseUrl` / `did`.
+
+6. **iOS:** When iOS native fetcher exists, mirror Android behavior.
+
+**Exit criteria**
+
+- Prefetch succeeds on **consecutive days** with duplicate-JWT enforcement enabled on a **staging** Endorser.
+- Pool **refreshes** on startup without breaking dual schedule.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Detailed tasks (checklist)
+
+### Crypto & TypeScript
+
+- [ ] Add `BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS`, `BACKGROUND_JWT_EXPIRY_SECONDS`, `BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_BUFFER`, and `BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE` (exported constants), with a **comment** that `POOL_SIZE >= expiryDays + buffer` (see §2.1).
+- [ ] Implement `mintBackgroundJwtPool(did: string): Promise<string[]>` (or split single + pool).
+- [ ] Ensure each JWT has **unique** `jti` (or equivalent) for duplicate detection.
+- [ ] **Do not** break existing `accessToken()` 60s behavior for unrelated features.
+- [ ] Wire `configureNativeFetcherIfReady` to pass **single extended token** (Phase A) then **pool** (Phase B).
+- [ ] On **logout / identity clear**, clear persisted pool and call plugin clear if needed.
+
+### Android
+
+- [ ] **Phase A:** No structural change if `configure()` still receives one string; verify non-null `jwtToken` after configure.
+- [ ] **Phase B:** Parse pool from persisted JSON; implement `selectTokenForRequest()`; use selected token in `Authorization` header instead of sole `jwtToken` field (keep `configure` for `apiBaseUrl` / `did`).
+- [ ] Unit or instrumentation tests optional: selection index deterministic.
+
+### Plugin (Option B1 — **daily-notification-plugin** repo)
+
+- [ ] Follow **`doc/plugin-feedback-daily-notification-configureNativeFetcher-jwt-pool.md`** (API shape, Android/iOS, versioning).
+- [ ] Release new plugin version; bump dependency in this app.
+
+### Product & server
+
+- [ ] Endorser: confirm **max `exp`**, **duplicate JWT** semantics, recommended **`jti`** format.
+- [ ] Document operational limit: if user never opens app for **longer than `exp` allows** (or longer than **pool × daily use** without refresh), prefetch may fail until next open — align with `doc/endorser-jwt-background-prefetch-options.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Security notes
+
+- Longer-lived JWTs and **many** tokens increase impact if device is compromised. Mitigations: **encrypted prefs** where possible, **no logging** of full JWTs, **revocation** story with Endorser (key rotation, deny list).
+- Pool regeneration on **login** should replace old pools.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Testing plan
+
+| Test | Expected |
+|------|----------|
+| Configure → wait **> 5 min** → prefetch | **200** from `plansLastUpdatedBetween` (Phase A) |
+| Two consecutive **days** with duplicate-JWT staging | **200** both days (Phase B) |
+| Logout | Pool cleared; no stale bearer |
+| Lower `BACKGROUND_JWT_POOL_SIZE` in dev only (below `expiryDays + buffer`) | Expect possible reuse / server duplicate errors — use to reproduce failures |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Rollout / staging
+
+1. Implement Phase A behind feature flag **optional** (or direct if low risk).
+2. Verify on **test-api.endorser.ch** with server team.
+3. Phase B behind flag or same release once server duplicate rules are understood.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Where plugin documentation lives
+
+| Document | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| **`doc/plan-background-jwt-pool-and-expiry.md`** (this file) | End-to-end app plan: crypto, pool sizing, native host, rollout. |
+| **`doc/plugin-feedback-daily-notification-configureNativeFetcher-jwt-pool.md`** | **Plugin-only** handoff: extend `configureNativeFetcher`, persist pool, Android/iOS notes — intended for PRs in **daily-notification-plugin** (or Cursor on that repo). |
+
+Keeping them **separate** avoids mixing consumer app tasks with plugin API contract; the plan **links** to the plugin feedback doc for Option B1.

+# Plugin feedback: `configureNativeFetcher` — optional JWT pool for background API calls
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-27 PST  
+**Target repo:** `@timesafari/daily-notification-plugin` (daily-notification-plugin)  
+**Consuming app:** crowd-funder-for-time-pwa (TimeSafari)  
+**Related app plan:** `doc/plan-background-jwt-pool-and-expiry.md` (Phase B, Option B1)
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+The host app’s **`NativeNotificationContentFetcher`** (`TimeSafariNativeFetcher` on Android) calls Endorser with a Bearer JWT set via **`configureNativeFetcher`**. For **background** prefetch, the token must stay valid until WorkManager runs (often **minutes later**); Endorser may also reject **duplicate** JWT strings across days.
+
+The **app** will mint a **pool** of distinct JWTs (see app plan) and needs the plugin to **accept and persist** that pool so native code can select a token **without JavaScript** at prefetch time.
+
+**Requested change (plugin):** extend **`configureNativeFetcher`** to accept an optional **JWT pool** alongside the existing **`jwtToken`**, persist it in the same storage the host already relies on (e.g. SharedPreferences / app group), and document how **`NativeNotificationContentFetcher`** implementations should read it.
+
+---
+
+## Motivation
+
+| Issue | Why plugin support helps |
+|-------|---------------------------|
+| Single short-lived `jwtToken` | Expires before background fetch |
+| Server duplicate-JWT rules | Need many distinct bearer strings over time |
+| No JS in WorkManager | Pool must be readable **only** from native |
+
+---
+
+## Proposed API (TypeScript / Capacitor)
+
+**Extend** existing `configureNativeFetcher` options (names indicative — align with plugin naming conventions):
+
+```ts
+configureNativeFetcher(options: {
+  apiBaseUrl: string;
+  activeDid: string;
+  /** Primary token; keep for backward compatibility and Phase A (single long-lived JWT). */
+  jwtToken: string;
+  /**
+   * Optional. Distinct JWT strings for background use (e.g. one per day slot).
+   * If omitted, behavior matches today (single jwtToken only).
+   */
+  jwtTokens?: string[];
+});
+```
+
+**Alternatives** (if size limits matter for bridge payload):
+
+- `jwtTokenPoolJson: string` — JSON array string of JWT strings (single string across the bridge).
+
+**Validation (plugin):**
+
+- If `jwtTokens` present: length **≤** a sane cap (host will use ~100; plugin may enforce max e.g. 128).
+- Empty array: treat as “no pool” (same as omitting).
+
+---
+
+## Android
+
+1. **Parse** new fields in `DailyNotificationPlugin.configureNativeFetcher` (or equivalent).
+2. **Persist** pool under the same prefs namespace used for other TimeSafari / dual-schedule data, or a **documented** key prefix (e.g. `jwt_token_pool` as JSON array string).
+3. **Document** for host implementers: `NativeNotificationContentFetcher` should:
+   - Prefer **pool entry** for `fetchContent` when pool is non-empty (selection policy is **host** responsibility — e.g. day index % length), **or**
+   - Expose a small helper the host fetcher calls to resolve “current” bearer.
+4. **Clear** pool when `configureNativeFetcher` is called with a new identity / empty pool / logout path (coordinate with host).
+5. **Backward compatibility:** if only `jwtToken` is sent, behavior **unchanged** from current release.
+
+---
+
+## iOS
+
+When `configureNativeFetcher` exists on iOS, mirror Android: accept optional pool, persist, document read path for native fetcher.
+
+---
+
+## Versioning & release
+
+- Bump **plugin semver** (minor: new optional fields).
+- Publish package; consuming app bumps **`@timesafari/daily-notification-plugin`** and updates `nativeFetcherConfig.ts` to pass `jwtTokens` when Phase B ships.
