fix(dos-id): refresh the IdP avatar on every login instead of once - #16
Conversation
The JIT avatar sync skipped users who already had an avatar (!user.avatarImageId), so an avatar changed upstream in DOS Me never propagated to Sign through login - the first avatar seen was frozen forever. The user.updated webhook path already refreshed unconditionally, making the two paths inconsistent. Drop the guard: when the IdP provides an avatar URL, it is the source of truth and replaces the stored avatar on each login (the sync helper already swaps the image and deletes the old row, is SSRF-guarded, and fails soft so logins never break on avatar errors). With no IdP URL, locally-uploaded avatars are left untouched.

Code Review
This pull request updates the avatar synchronization logic to always sync the user's avatar from the Identity Provider (IdP) URL on every login, ensuring upstream changes propagate. Feedback suggests running syncUserAvatarFromUrl asynchronously without await to prevent blocking the login flow with external network requests and CPU-intensive image optimization.

Awaiting syncUserAvatarFromUrl on every login introduces a potential performance bottleneck and reliability risk. The function performs an external network request (with a 5-second timeout) and a CPU-intensive image optimization step (optimiseAvatar) on every single login, even if the avatar hasn't changed.\n\nSince the avatar is non-critical for the login flow to succeed, consider running this asynchronously without blocking the login response. Since syncUserAvatarFromUrl already has internal error handling, it is safe to trigger without await.

Reject redirects before downloading avatar URLs.
assertNotPrivateUrl checks only the original URL. The subsequent fetch follows redirects because it does not set a redirect policy. A public avatar URL can therefore redirect the server request to a private address.

Limit avatar response size while streaming. syncUserAvatarFromUrl buffers the full response with response.arrayBuffer() before optimization. The five-second timeout limits duration, not response size. Read the body incrementally and cancel once it exceeds a maximum avatar size, before optimizing it.

Why
The JIT avatar sync in
syncDosProfileAndOrgsonly downloaded the IdP avatar when the user had NO avatar yet (if (!user?.avatarImageId)). Once an avatar existed, upstream avatar changes in DOS Me never propagated through login - the first avatar seen was frozen forever. Theuser.updatedwebhook path already refreshed unconditionally, so the two sync paths disagreed.Found while auditing the profile page (user report: avatar not synced). Current prod data: DOS Me emits no avatar URLs at all today, so this is a latent bug with zero present-day impact - fixing before it bites.
What
syncUserAvatarFromUrlalready swaps the image and deletes the old row, is SSRF-guarded against attacker-influenceable claim URLs, and fails soft (returns null, logs) so logins never break on avatar errors. With no IdP URL, locally-uploaded avatars are left untouched.Verification
