+## Known Security Decisions
+
+### JWT Algorithm Enforcement (Production Hardening)
+
+**Vulnerability:** CVE-2023-48223 (fast-jwt algorithm confusion)
+
+**Context:**
+- This project uses ES256 (ECDSA, asymmetric) JWTs issued by Supabase
+- `@fastify/jwt` package has a transitive dependency on `fast-jwt@^6.0.2`, which is vulnerable
+- However, **production code NEVER uses `fast-jwt` directly**
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- **Production:** Uses `jsonwebtoken` + `jwks-rsa` for verification (completely separate library, not vulnerable)
+- **Tests:** Uses `@fastify/jwt` (HS256, test-only, matches test secret in CI environment)
+- **Enforcement:** `algorithms: ["ES256"]` is explicitly set in jwtVerifier.ts (line 107)
+- **Defense-in-depth:** Header algorithm is validated before signature verification (extra safety)
+
+**Risk Level:** LOW
+
+**Why this is safe:**
+1. Asymmetric keys (JWKS endpoint): CVE-2023-48223 exploits symmetric key confusion, which cannot happen with asymmetric keys
+2. Explicit algorithm restriction to ES256 prevents fallback to HS256
+3. Token audience is validated (blocks service_role tokens)
+4. Test environment is isolated; fast-jwt is not used in production
+
+**Monitoring:**
+- Waiting for upstream `fast-jwt` fix
+- CI audit check overrides only for "critical" level (not "high")
+- `@fastify/jwt` will be updated when fast-jwt is fixed
