Render generic identifiers as text inputs

[masnwilliams]

summary

• render canonical identifier fields as text inputs regardless of their credential ref
• preserve combined username, email, and phone labels without browser-native email or telephone validation
• add regression coverage for email-, username-, and phone-named canonical identifiers

testing

• bun test
• bun run build
• bun run typecheck
• bun run format:check

release

Includes a patch changeset for @onkernel/managed-auth-react.

Note

Low Risk
Localized form rendering change in managed auth UI with no auth or data-handling impact; main effect is dropping strict browser validation on identifier inputs.

Overview
Canonical identifier fields now always map to plain text inputs in @onkernel/managed-auth-react, instead of inferring email or tel from the field ref (e.g. email, phone_number). Username/email/phone labels stay the same, but the browser no longer applies native email or telephone validation on those steps.

Regression tests cover identifier refs named like email, username, and phone. A patch changeset is included for the package release.

reviewed — looks good, straightforward fix

• packages/managed-auth-react/src/session/state.ts:44 — always-text for identifiers is the right default; the ref-sniffing was fragile (substring false positives) and native email/tel validation breaks combined fields. tradeoff noted: pure email/phone fields lose inputmode hints on mobile — worth revisiting smarter inference (ideally server-provided) once there's more signal
• test coverage pins both removed inference branches (email-ref and phone-ref), and the fixture label reflects the real combined-field case
