docs: synced passkeys are allowed by default - #144
Merged
Conversation
The auth API defaults authenticator_policy.syncedPasskeys to allow, so a stock deployment enrols iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager passkeys rather than refusing them. synced_passkey_not_allowed is still reachable, since a deployment issuing its own authenticators sets block and the SDK cannot tell from the client which way the API is configured. The guidance to branch on the code rather than render the message is unchanged.

Follows fells-code/seamless-auth-api#260 and fells-code/seamless-auth-types#61, which flip
authenticator_policy.syncedPasskeystoallow.The README and AGENTS.md both said the API defaults to
block, and drew the conclusion thatsynced_passkey_not_allowedis "the default path, not an edge case". Neither is true once that ships: a stock deployment now enrols the passkeys iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager create.The refusal is still worth handling. A deployment issuing its own authenticators sets
block, and the SDK cannot tell from the client which way the API is configured, so the guidance to branch ongetPasskeyPolicyErrorCode()rather than render the message is unchanged. Only the framing moves, from "this is what you will hit by default" to "this is reachable and you cannot detect it in advance".Docs only. No SDK behaviour changes, so no changeset.
