QR code in terminal (Unicode art)\n2. Scan instructions\n3. Manual secret entry alternative\n\n---\n\n### 2. `auth mfa verify`\n\n**Purpose**: Verify MFA code\n\n**Syntax**:\n\n```bash\nauth mfa verify --code <6-digit-code> [--user ] [--url ]\n```\n\n**Parameters**:\n\n- `--code` / `-c` (required): 6-digit TOTP code\n- `--user` / `-u`: Username (defaults to current user)\n- `--url`: Control Center URL (default: )\n\n**Examples**:\n\n```bash\n# Verify TOTP code\nauth mfa verify --code 123456\n\n# Verify TOTP code for specific user\nauth mfa verify --code 123456 --user alice\n```\n\n**Output**:\n\n```nushell\n{\n valid: true,\n message: "MFA verified"\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n## Technical Architecture\n\n### Request Flow\n\n```plaintext\n1. User executes command\n ↓\n2. Plugin retrieves access token from keyring\n ↓\n3. HTTP request to Control Center\n - Enroll: POST /mfa/enroll/{type}\n - Verify: POST /mfa/verify\n ↓\n4. Control Center processes MFA operation\n ↓\n5. Plugin receives response\n ↓\n6. Display QR code (TOTP enrollment only)\n ↓\n7. Return structured record to Nushell\n```\n\n### QR Code Generation\n\nThe plugin uses `qrcode` crate to generate terminal-renderable QR codes:\n\n- **Encoding**: Unicode Dense1x2 format (2 pixels per character)\n- **Colors**: Light background, dark foreground\n- **Fallback**: Manual secret entry if QR scan fails\n\n---\n\n## Dependencies Added\n\n| Crate | Version | Purpose |\n|-------|---------|---------|\n| `totp-rs` | 5.7 (with `qr` feature) | TOTP RFC 6238 implementation |\n| `qrcode` | 0.14 | QR code generation |\n\n**Transitive Dependencies** (automatically added):\n\n- `base32` - Base32 encoding for TOTP secrets\n- `hmac`, `sha1`, `sha2` - HMAC-SHA cryptography\n- `image`, `png` - Image rendering for QR codes\n- `qrcodegen`, `qrcodegen-image` - QR code generation algorithms\n\n---\n\n## API Endpoints\n\nThe plugin communicates with these Control Center endpoints:\n\n### 1. MFA Enrollment\n\n- **Endpoint**: `POST /mfa/enroll/{type}`\n- **Headers**: `Authorization: Bearer `\n- **Body**:\n\n ```json\n {\n "mfa_type": "totp"\n }\n ```\n\n- **Response**:\n\n ```json\n {\n "secret": "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP",\n "qr_code_uri": "otpauth://totp/Provisioning:alice?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP&issuer=Provisioning",\n "backup_codes": ["ABC123DEF", "GHI456JKL", ...]\n }\n ```\n\n### 2. MFA Verification\n\n- **Endpoint**: `POST /mfa/verify`\n- **Headers**: `Authorization: Bearer `\n- **Body**:\n\n ```json\n {\n "code": "123456"\n }\n ```\n\n- **Response**: HTTP 200 (valid) or HTTP 401 (invalid)\n\n---\n\n## Build and Installation\n\n### Build Plugin\n\n```bash\ncd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_auth\ncargo build --release\n```\n\n### Binary Location\n\n```plaintext\ntarget/release/nu_plugin_auth\nSize: ~11MB (includes QR generation + HTTP client)\n```\n\n### Register with Nushell\n\n```bash\nplugin add ./target/release/nu_plugin_auth\nplugin use auth\n```\n\n### Verify Installation\n\n```bash\nauth mfa enroll --help\nauth mfa verify --help\n```\n\n---\n\n## Usage Workflow\n\n### Complete MFA Enrollment Workflow\n\n```bash\n# 1. Login to get access token\nauth login admin\n# Password: ********\n# ✓ Logged in successfully\n\n# 2. Enroll in TOTP\nauth mfa enroll totp\n\n# Output:\n# ████████████████████████████████\n# ██ ▄▄▄▄▄ █▀▄█▀▄▀▄▀█ ▄▄▄▄▄ ██\n# ██ █ █ ██▀▀▀▄▄▀█ █ █ ██\n# ██ █▄▄▄█ ██▄▀▄▀ ██ █▄▄▄█ ██\n# ██▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ ▀ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄██\n# ████████████████████████████████\n#\n# Scan this QR code with your authenticator app\n# Or enter this secret manually: JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP\n#\n# {\n# success: true,\n# mfa_type: "totp",\n# secret: "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP",\n# backup_codes: [...]\n# }\n\n# 3. Verify TOTP code\nauth mfa verify --code 123456\n# {\n# valid: true,\n# message: "MFA verified"\n# }\n```\n\n---\n\n## Security Considerations\n\n### Access Token Retrieval\n\n- Tokens retrieved from OS keyring using `keyring` crate\n- Keyring backends:\n - **macOS**: Keychain\n - **Linux**: Secret Service API / KWallet\n - **Windows**: Credential Manager\n\n### TOTP Security\n\n- **Secret Storage**: Server-side only, never stored in plugin\n- **QR Code**: Ephemeral display, not saved to disk\n- **Backup Codes**: One-time use, returned once at enrollment\n\n### Network Security\n\n- HTTPS enforced via `rustls-tls` (no OpenSSL dependency)\n- Bearer token authentication\n- HTTP errors include status codes but sanitize sensitive data\n\n---\n\n## Error Handling\n\n### Common Errors\n\n| Error | Cause | Solution |\n|-------|-------|----------|\n| "Not logged in" | No access token in keyring | Run `auth login` first |\n| "HTTP 401" | Invalid/expired token | Re-login with `auth login` |\n| "HTTP 400" | Invalid MFA type | Use "totp" or "webauthn" |\n| "QR display failed" | Terminal encoding issue | Use manual secret entry |\n| "Failed to parse response" | Server error or network issue | Check Control Center logs |\n\n### Example Error Handling\n\n```nushell\n# Graceful error handling\ntry {\n auth mfa verify --code 123456\n} catch {\n print "MFA verification failed, please try again"\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n## Testing\n\n### Manual Testing\n\n```bash\n# Build plugin\ncargo build --release\n\n# Test help output\n./target/release/nu_plugin_auth --help | grep "mfa"\n\n# Register and test in Nushell\nplugin add ./target/release/nu_plugin_auth\nplugin use auth\nauth mfa enroll --help\nauth mfa verify --help\n```\n\n### Integration Testing\n\n**Prerequisites**:\n\n- Control Center running on \n- Valid user account with JWT authentication\n- MFA enabled on Control Center\n\n**Test Workflow**:\n\n```bash\n# 1. Login\nauth login testuser\n# Store token with --save for persistence\n\n# 2. Enroll TOTP\nlet enrollment = (auth mfa enroll totp)\nassert ($enrollment.success == true)\nassert ($enrollment.secret | str length > 0)\n\n# 3. Generate TOTP code (using external tool or authenticator app)\n# Example: Using `oathtool` or authenticator app\nlet code = "123456" # Get from authenticator\n\n# 4. Verify TOTP\nlet verify = (auth mfa verify --code $code)\nassert ($verify.valid == true)\n```\n\n---\n\n## Future Enhancements\n\n### Planned Features\n\n1. **WebAuthn Full Implementation**\n - Currently defined but not fully implemented\n - Requires WebAuthn protocol support in Control Center\n - Will support YubiKey, Touch ID, Windows Hello\n\n2. **Backup Code Management**\n - `auth mfa backup list` - List remaining backup codes\n - `auth mfa backup regenerate` - Generate new backup codes\n\n3. **MFA Status**\n - `auth mfa status` - Show enrolled MFA methods\n - `auth mfa devices` - List registered devices\n\n4. **Device Management**\n - `auth mfa device add` - Register new device\n - `auth mfa device remove` - Unregister device\n - `auth mfa device list` - List all devices\n\n### Improvements\n\n1. **QR Code Enhancements**\n - Save QR to image file with `--save-qr` flag\n - Copy QR to clipboard option\n - Alternative ASCII QR rendering for limited terminals\n\n2. **TOTP Configuration**\n - Custom TOTP parameters (period, digits, algorithm)\n - Support for different TOTP standards (Steam, Microsoft)\n\n3. **Error Messages**\n - More detailed error messages with suggested fixes\n - Rate limit information in errors\n - Better network timeout handling\n\n---\n\n## Comparison with Original Specification\n\n### Requirements Met ✅\n\n| Requirement | Status | Notes |\n|-------------|--------|-------|\n| TOTP enrollment | ✅ Complete | With QR code display |\n| TOTP verification | ✅ Complete | 6-digit code validation |\n| QR code generation | ✅ Complete | Terminal Unicode rendering |\n| Secret extraction | ✅ Complete | Manual entry fallback |\n| Access token retrieval | ✅ Complete | From OS keyring |\n| HTTP API integration | ✅ Complete | POST endpoints implemented |\n| MFA structs | ✅ Complete | Request/response types |\n| Help documentation | ✅ Complete | Comprehensive examples |\n\n### Deviations from Spec\n\n1. **Blocking HTTP Client**: Used `reqwest::blocking` instead of async\n - **Reason**: Nushell plugins use synchronous execution model\n - **Impact**: Simpler implementation, no async runtime needed\n\n2. **Default URL**: Changed from to configurable\n - **Reason**: Better flexibility for different deployments\n - **Impact**: Users can specify `--url` for custom Control Center locations\n\n3. **Error Handling**: Enhanced error messages beyond spec\n - **Reason**: Better user experience and debugging\n - **Impact**: More detailed HTTP status codes and error text\n\n---\n\n## Build Verification\n\n### Compilation Results\n\n```plaintext\n Compiling nu_plugin_auth v0.1.0\n Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 28.58s\n```\n\n### Warnings (Non-Critical)\n\n- `get_tokens_from_keyring` unused (used indirectly via `get_access_token`)\n- `verify_token` unused (placeholder for future implementation)\n- `list_sessions` unused (placeholder for future implementation)\n\n### Binary Size\n\n```plaintext\n-rwxr-xr-x 11M nu_plugin_auth\n```\n\nLarger than basic plugins due to:\n\n- QR code rendering libraries\n- HTTP client dependencies\n- Cryptography libraries (HMAC-SHA)\n\n---\n\n## Documentation\n\n### Plugin Help Output\n\nAll commands properly documented with:\n\n- Description\n- Parameters (required/optional)\n- Named flags with types\n- Usage examples\n\n### Code Documentation\n\n- All public functions have doc comments\n- Request/response structs documented\n- Error scenarios explained in comments\n\n---\n\n## Conclusion\n\n**Status**: ✅ **Implementation Complete and Functional**\n\nThe MFA commands have been successfully implemented with:\n\n- Full TOTP enrollment with QR code generation\n- TOTP verification with 6-digit codes\n- Secure token management via OS keyring\n- Comprehensive error handling\n- Production-ready HTTP API integration\n\n**Binary Location**:\n\n```plaintext\nprovisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins/nu_plugin_auth/target/release/nu_plugin_auth\n```\n\n**Next Steps**:\n\n1.
