Alexandre Brandizzi 8bd89a1f9d feat(infra): proxy /api through CloudFront to the backend
The SPA is served over HTTPS by CloudFront but the backend
(console.seahavenind.com) is HTTP-only, so direct API calls would be blocked
as mixed content. Add a CloudFront /api/* behavior that proxies to the backend
over HTTP (browser <-> CloudFront is HTTPS; CloudFront <-> origin is HTTP) and
set VITE_API_URL=/api (same-origin).

Because distribution-level customErrorResponses are global and would rewrite
real /api 403/404s into the SPA shell, replace them with a viewer-request
CloudFront Function scoped to the S3 (default) behavior that rewrites
extensionless paths to /index.html. /api/* carries no function association.

Backend host is configurable via `-c apiOriginDomain=<host>` (default
console.seahavenind.com).

# Infrastructure & CI/CD — SeaHaven SHOC frontend
AWS hosting for the Vite SPA, defined as an **AWS CDK** app local to this repo,
deployed through the org's **reusable** GitHub Actions workflow.
- **Hosting:** private S3 bucket (origin) + CloudFront (CDN, HTTPS, SPA routing)
- **API:** CloudFront proxies `/api/*` to the HTTP-only backend, so the HTTPS
SPA calls it same-origin (no mixed-content blocking). `VITE_API_URL=/api`.
- **Auth:** GitHub Actions → AWS via **OIDC** (no long-lived keys)
- **CD workflow:** `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` is a thin caller of the org's
`Sea-Haven-Industries/.github` → `cd-cdk.yaml`. That workflow runs `cdk deploy`
(provisions infra) then `scripts/deploy-web.sh` (builds + uploads the SPA).
- **Infra is local to this repo** (CDK in `infra/cdk`); the deploy role is
created by this stack, not added to the central `oidc-deploy-roles.yaml`.
- **Environments:** `dev` only today, deployed on push to the `dev` branch.
```

## What the stack creates
| Resource | Purpose |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| S3 bucket `seahaven-shoc-frontend-dev` | private origin (BLOCK_ALL, SSE, OAC-only reads) |
| CloudFront distribution | HTTPS, gzip/br; default behavior → S3, `/api/*` → backend (HTTP origin) |
| CloudFront Function (viewer request) | SPA routing: rewrites extensionless paths to `/index.html` (scoped to the S3 behavior, so it never touches `/api`) |
| IAM role `githubdeploy-shoc-frontend-new-dev` | assumed by GitHub Actions via OIDC, scoped to `repo:Sea-Haven-Industries/shoc-frontend-new:ref:refs/heads/dev` |
The whole `cd-cdk.yaml` job runs as that role, so it holds: `sts:AssumeRole` on
`cdk-hnb659fds-*` (for `cdk deploy`), `cloudformation:DescribeStacks` (cd-cdk's
pre-flight/health-check + output reads), read/write on the bucket (`s3 sync`),
and `cloudfront:CreateInvalidation` (cache bust). The OIDC **provider** is a
singleton account resource — the stack only _imports_ it (created in step 2),
so `cdk destroy` can't delete a resource shared by other roles.

## One-time setup (run by a human with admin AWS creds)
### 1. Authenticate to the AWS account
```bash
aws configure # or: aws sso login --profile <admin>
aws sts get-caller-identity # confirm the right account + region (us-east-1)
```
### 2. Ensure the GitHub OIDC provider exists (once per account)
```bash
aws iam list-open-id-connect-providers
# If none ends in token.actions.githubusercontent.com, create it (thumbprint is
# no longer required — AWS validates GitHub against its own trust store):
aws iam create-open-id-connect-provider \
--url https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
--client-id-list sts.amazonaws.com
```
### 3. CDK bootstrap (once per account/region)
```bash
cd infra/cdk
npm ci
npx cdk bootstrap aws://<ACCOUNT_ID>/us-east-1
```
### 4. Confirm the backend API origin
The app calls its API same-origin at `/api` (`VITE_API_URL=/api` in
`.env.production`), and CloudFront proxies `/api/*` to the backend over HTTP.
The backend host defaults to `console.seahavenind.com`; override it if the dev
API lives elsewhere:
```bash
# default is fine for dev; otherwise:
npx cdk deploy -c apiOriginDomain=<dev-api-host>
```
No mixed-content risk: the browser talks HTTPS to CloudFront, and CloudFront
talks HTTP to the origin.
### 5. First deploy (locally, with admin creds)
The deploy role doesn't exist until the first `cdk deploy`, so bootstrap it
locally. This provisions infra + the role:
```bash
cd infra/cdk
npx cdk deploy
```
Note the `DeployRoleArn` output. Then push the first content (or just push to
`dev` and let CI do everything from here on):
```bash
# from repo root, optional manual first content publish:
STACK_NAME=shoc-frontend-dev AWS_REGION=us-east-1 bash scripts/deploy-web.sh
```
### 6. Set the one GitHub secret
`cd-cdk.yaml` takes the role ARN as a **secret** (not a variable):
```bash
REPO=Sea-Haven-Industries/shoc-frontend-new
gh secret set AWS_DEPLOY_ROLE_ARN --repo "$REPO" \
--body "arn:aws:iam::<acct>:role/githubdeploy-shoc-frontend-new-dev"
```
(Or **Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Secrets**.)
### 7. From now on: push to `dev`
```bash
git push origin dev
```
`ci.yml` runs the quality gates and `deploy.yml` calls `cd-cdk.yaml`, which runs
`cdk deploy` then `scripts/deploy-web.sh`. Watch the **Actions** tab, then open
the `SiteUrl` output.
> First-run verification: this first push is what actually exercises the role's
> permissions and the OIDC trust through the reusable workflow (the local
> bootstrap used admin creds and tested none of that). Watch for
> credential/OIDC errors and a green post-deploy step.
---
## Adding staging / prod later
Separate accounts: deploy this stack there with `-c envName=staging`,
`-c deployBranch=<branch>`, and `-c apiOriginDomain=<that-env's-api-host>`; set
that repo's `AWS_DEPLOY_ROLE_ARN` secret; and add a job to `deploy.yml`. Because
the SPA calls `/api` same-origin, the API host is per-environment CloudFront
config (the `apiOriginDomain` context) — the build output is identical across
environments, so nothing env-specific gets baked into `vite build`.
## Notes
- **Teardown:** `npx cdk destroy`. The bucket uses `RemovalPolicy.DESTROY` +
`autoDeleteObjects` (dev artifacts are reproducible) — change this for prod.
- **CI and CD both fire on push to `dev`** in parallel; a red-CI commit still
deploys (matches the org's push-time-CD model). Gating deploy on CI is a
follow-up, not part of enabling CICD.
- **Local npm is pinned to v6**; the committed `package-lock.json` is
lockfileVersion 1. CI (Node 24 / npm 11) reads it fine via `npm ci`.
