Summary

This differential introduces new screen that will carry downloading backup message, signing it and using for restoration. AS of this differential backup support for SIWE will just match what we currently have for password users - backup via testing buttons. However most of the code in this stack will be reused to implement full backup-restore feature.

Test Plan
  1. Sign in as SIWE
  2. Make drafts. Upload compaction.
  3. Log out.
  4. Sign in back.
  5. Restore from backup.
  6. Ensure drafts are back.

Recording from SIWE restore process:

You should brush up on React basics, specifically around memoization in hooks and function components. We should always memoize non-primitives

native/account/registration/siwe-backup-message-creation.react.js
229–232

This needs to be wrapped in React.useMemo

244–245

Let's use the replacement I introduced in D11993:

To make sure we can’t see your data, Comm encrypts your backup using a signature from your wallet.

257–261

I'm not sure this button makes sense in the final design. It feels aggressive... "Discard" implies that it will be lost, but really we are just "going back" here and ending the recovery attempt, right?

I think in the final design, it would be best to remove this button, and just have the user navigate back to the main LoggedOutModal if they want to go back.

What do you think? Is there an alternative approach we can use for this screen in the interim? If you really need to keep this button, we should at least change the text here.

  1. What's the point of defining this new function?
  2. If you must define the function, it definitely needs to be wrapped in React.useCallback
native/backup/use-client-backup.js
55–59

Why is this necessary? Do we unset it later?

The reason I introduced this button is the same why we introduced Skip button in screen that prompts for siwe backup message creation after SIWE log in - SIWE can break and we can't keep user stuck if it happens.

This screen is subject to change in final design that I will work on during June - I will remember to apply you suggestion about simply going back to LoggedOutModal.

For now I will keep this button but rename to to Skip.

native/backup/restore-siwe-backup.react.js
58–60

Mistake by accident.

native/backup/use-client-backup.js
55–59

Why is this necessary?

Currently our services don't check those values but I am almost certain that the request will be rejected if there is nothing there. I will verify it and report shortly.

Do we unset it later?

No it is not unset later - is that a concern?

Note: that this line will be deleted after identity launch when devices will be getting real instances of this.

  1. Update to reflect changes deeper in the stack

Accepting, but would be good if @kamil took a look as well, as he is more familiar with the backup testing code

native/backup/use-client-backup.js
58–62 ↗(On Diff #40319)

I guess I'm confused why this is necessary. Is it only for testing with !usingCommServicesAccessToken? It's my impression that after D11021, the CSAM should always be set when the user is logged in (assuming usingCommServicesAccessToken)

kamil added inline comments.

It was introduced before usingCommServicesAccessToken - I think we can now remove it

Basically @kamil is right - if someone is testing with staging services they should flip usingCommServicesAccessToken flag and it is not necessary to use this function. However this won't work for production and I think it is good to be able to use backup buttons on production if isStaffRelease is true. I've recently discovered some bugs because I was able to use backup buttons on production. After identity launch on production we can remove this function.
