- Username: admin
- Password protected
- Status: Partially implemented via Guardian system
2. Access Tiers
- Guardian Access (Admin) - Full system

- ❌ SMS Authentication
Security Features
- ❌ Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

- ❌ Account recovery
✅ Resolution: Hybrid Model
Jamie's Decision: "hybrid, different permissions, international, via my Twilio credentials in supabase, Optional 2FA, priority order correct"
🎯 6 Priority Implementation Order

- Priority 2: OAuth providers (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, GitHub)
- Priority 3: Guest login (anonymous Supabase auth)
- Priority 4: SMS authentication (Twilio, international support)
- Priority 5: Onboarding UI (persona-based, voice-first)
- Priority 6: Optional 2FA for Guardians (TOTP)
🔐 Permission Model
- Guardians: Full access (omega/delta/gamma clearance)
- OAuth Users: Restricted access (public features only)
- Guest Users: Limited anonymous access
- SMS Users: Verified phone-based access
🛡️ World 2.0 Principle Applied:
"We never use World 1.0 'control' language words - like council, policy, rule, or any words designed to oppress or manipulate. Each AI must have its response filtered through the ST Master Protocols and a World 2.0 word gate and trust tool."
