Auth and guest mode

The SvelteKit template supports both registered accounts and guest sessions. The goal is to reduce friction before a user commits to sign-up.

Registered account flow

• Public entry: /auth/login, /auth/register, and /login
• Supported modes: email today; Google/GitHub OAuth when configured in later stages
• Post-login destination: /dashboard

Registered users should land on the activation-oriented dashboard homepage and continue from there into AI, keys, billing, or support.

Guest flow

• Public entry: /guest-demo
• Guest sessions are real authenticated sessions with their own credits and dashboard access
• Guests should be encouraged to upgrade after they validate the workflow

Upgrade guidance

Guest mode is ideal for:

• early product demos
• marketing traffic that is not ready to sign up
• sales conversations where you want a lower-friction proof point

Registered mode is ideal for:

• persistent usage
• billing and subscriptions
• API key management
• long-term project ownership

Product recommendation

Do not treat guest mode as a dead-end sandbox. It should behave like a guided first session that naturally leads into account creation once the user sees value.
