+# WebKit Website Data Isolation Per Nostr Identity
+
+**Status: IMPLEMENTED (Phase 0 + Phase A, verified end-to-end).**
+
+## Problem
+
+When a user logs in, visits a page, logs out, then logs in as a different
+identity and revisits the same page, the second user sees the first user's
+data (session cookies, localStorage, cached responses, service workers).
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The browser uses the **default** [`WebKitWebContext`](src/main.c:977) and its
+attached [`WebKitWebsiteDataManager`](src/main.c:993) for the entire process
+lifetime. That single data manager holds, process-wide:
+
+- HTTP disk + memory cache
+- Cookies (the primary leak — session cookies identify you to web pages)
+- localStorage / sessionStorage / IndexedDB / WebSQL
+- Service worker registrations + offline app cache
+- Favicon database ([`webkit_web_context_set_favicon_database_directory(web_ctx, NULL)`](src/main.c:1003))
+
+The logout / identity-switch paths only clear the Nostr signer and do **nothing**
+to WebKit's data stores or to the already-loaded tabs:
+
+- [`app_menu_logout_proxy`](src/main.c:186) — frees `g_state.signer`, blanks pubkey, returns.
+- [`agent_logout`](src/agent_login.c:485) — `app_clear_signer()` + `nostr_bridge_set_signer(NULL, ...)`.
+- [`agent_switch_identity`](src/agent_login.c:492) — frees old signer, logs in new, no tab reload.
+
+Two compounding problems:
+
+1. **Persistent WebKit data** survives the identity switch.
+2. **Live tabs** keep user A's DOM/localStorage in memory; wiping the data
+   manager alone does not clear already-loaded pages.
+
+The existing [`plans/per-user-profiles.md`](plans/per-user-profiles.md) isolates
+the SQLite layer (bookmarks, history, session, Nostr events) but does **not**
+cover WebKit's own storage — this plan closes that gap.
+
+## Solution (chosen: per-user data manager + clear-on-switch safety net)
+
+### Part A — Per-user `WebKitWebsiteDataManager`
+
+Give each pubkey its own data manager rooted at
+`~/.sovereign_browser/profiles/<pubkey_hex>/webkit/` so cookies, cache, storage,
+service workers, and favicons persist per-user and never cross-contaminate.
+
+WebKitGTK constraint: a `WebKitWebContext` is bound to **one**
+`WebKitWebsiteDataManager` for its lifetime — you cannot swap the data manager
+on an existing context. Two viable strategies:
+
+**Strategy 1 (preferred): per-user `WebKitWebContext`.**
+Create a fresh `webkit_web_context_new_with_website_data_manager(dm)` for each
+login. All tabs/webviews are created from this context. On logout/switch,
+destroy the old context (which tears down its webviews) and build a new one.
+This is the cleanest isolation and matches how Epiphary/GNOME Web does
+per-profile isolation.
+
+**Strategy 2 (fallback): single context, manual clear + per-user dirs.**
+Keep the default context but on each login call
+`webkit_website_data_manager_clear(dm, WEBKIT_WEBSITE_DATA_ALL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL)`
+then point the cookie/cache/storage dirs at the per-user path. This is fragile
+because the context caches some state internally and the favicon DB directory
+is set once at context init.
+
+Recommend **Strategy 1**. It requires reworking how the context is created and
+how `tab_manager` / `nostr_bridge` / `tor_scheme` / `nostr_scheme` / `net_services`
+reference it (they currently call `webkit_web_context_get_default()` or receive
+the context at init), but it gives true isolation.
+
+### Part B — Clear-on-switch safety net
+
+Even with per-user data managers, the **live tabs** (and the agent chat sidebar
+webview) hold user A's DOM/localStorage in memory. On any identity change:
+
+1. Close all tabs: `tab_manager_close_all()` ([`tab_manager.c:3727`](src/tab_manager.c)).
+2. Destroy the agent chat sidebar webview if present.
+3. (Strategy 1) Destroy the old `WebKitWebContext` + data manager.
+4. Build the new per-user context + data manager.
+5. Re-register URI schemes (`sovereign://`, `nostr://`, `tor://`) on the new
+   context — they are per-context.
+6. Re-init `nostr_bridge`, `nostr_scheme`, `tor_scheme`, `net_services` against
+   the new context.
+7. Re-init `tab_manager` against the new context (or expose a
+   `tab_manager_set_context()`).
+8. Restore the new user's session (`session_restore()`) or open the default
+   new-tab URL.

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### 1. Profile helpers for WebKit data dir
+In [`src/profile.c`](src/profile.c) / [`src/profile.h`](src/profile.h) add:
+- `profile_get_webkit_dir(const char *pubkey_hex, char *out, size_t out_sz)`
+  → `~/.sovereign_browser/profiles/<pubkey>/webkit/`
+- `profile_ensure_webkit_dir(const char *pubkey_hex)` — mkdir -p.
+
+### 2. New module `src/web_context.c` / `src/web_context.h`
+Centralize context + data manager construction so login/logout/switch share
+one code path. Functions:
+- `web_context_build_for_pubkey(const char *pubkey_hex)` → returns a new
+  `WebKitWebContext*` with a per-user `WebKitWebsiteDataManager` (cookies,
+  cache, local_storage, indexed_db, websql, offline_app_cache, service_worker
+  registrations, itp, hsts all pointed at the per-user webkit dir), favicon
+  DB enabled, TLS errors ignored, security manager configured
+  (sovereign/tor/file secure+local).
+- `web_context_teardown(WebKitWebContext *ctx)` — unrefs context + data
+  manager, frees per-user state.
+- Holds the current context pointer (`g_web_ctx`) so the rest of the codebase
+  can fetch it without `webkit_web_context_get_default()`.
+
+### 3. Refactor scheme/bridge/service init to be re-runnable
+Currently these are one-shot inits tied to the default context. Make them
+accept a `WebKitWebContext*` and be safe to call again on a new context:
+- [`nostr_bridge_register`](src/nostr_bridge.c) — already takes `ctx`; ensure
+  it can be called twice (track prior registration, disconnect old handlers).
+- [`nostr_scheme_register`](src/nostr_scheme.c) — make it take `ctx` (currently
+  uses default) and idempotent.
+- [`tor_scheme_register`](src/tor_scheme.c) — same.
+- [`net_services_init`](src/net_services.c) — currently calls
+  `webkit_web_context_get_default()` internally ([`net_services.c:69`](src/net_services.c));
+  pass `ctx` in instead.
+
+### 4. Refactor `tab_manager` to support context swap
+[`tab_manager_init`](src/tab_manager.h:46) currently stores the context once.
+Add:
+- `tab_manager_set_context(WebKitWebContext *ctx)` — updates the stored
+  context so subsequent `tab_manager_new_tab` calls use the new context.
+  Existing tabs are already closed (Part B step 1) before this is called.
+- Or simpler: tear down and re-init `tab_manager` on each switch. Pick whichever
+  is less invasive given the static globals in [`tab_manager.c`](src/tab_manager.c).
+
+### 5. Wire the login/logout/switch flows
+- [`app_menu_logout_proxy`](src/main.c:186): after clearing the signer, run the
+  teardown sequence (close all tabs, destroy sidebar, destroy context) then
+  re-show the login dialog. On successful login, run the build sequence.
+- [`agent_logout`](src/agent_login.c:485): same teardown, then leave the
+  browser in a logged-out state (no context, or a minimal ephemeral context
+  showing a "logged out" page).
+- [`agent_switch_identity`](src/agent_login.c:492): teardown old, build new
+  with the new pubkey, restore session.
+- Initial startup in [`main.c`](src/main.c:974): replace
+  `webkit_web_context_get_default()` with `web_context_build_for_pubkey()`
+  after login completes (this means deferring context creation until after
+  the login dialog — reordering the startup sequence).
+
+### 6. Favicon database per user
+[`webkit_web_context_set_favicon_database_directory(web_ctx, NULL)`](src/main.c:1003)
+currently uses the default shared location. In `web_context_build_for_pubkey`,
+pass the per-user webkit dir (or a `favicons/` subdir) so favicons don't leak
+between users.
+
+### 7. Read-only / no-login mode
+When running with `--no-login` or read-only, there is no pubkey to key the
+data dir on. Use an ephemeral data manager
+(`webkit_website_data_manager_new_ephemeral()`) so no data persists at all,
+or a shared `~/.sovereign_browser/webkit-anon/` dir. Decide and document.
+
+### 8. Migration
+Existing users have data in WebKit's default location
+(`~/.cache/sovereign_browser/` or similar). On first login with the new
+system, optionally copy the default WebKit data dir into
+`profiles/<pubkey>/webkit/` so they keep their cookies/cache. Low priority —
+can ship without migration and just start fresh per user.
+
+### 9. Tests
+- Manual: log in as user A, visit a site that sets a cookie/localStorage,
+  log out, log in as user B, visit the same site, confirm user A's data is
+  gone and user B gets a fresh session.
+- Add a test page under [`tests/local-site/`](tests/local-site) that writes
+  a visible marker to localStorage + a cookie, so this is reproducible.
+- Verify `sovereign://`, `nostr://`, `tor://` schemes still work after a
+  switch (they are re-registered on the new context).
+- Verify the agent chat sidebar works after a switch (its webview is rebuilt
+  on the new context).
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+- New: `src/web_context.c`, `src/web_context.h`
+- [`src/profile.c`](src/profile.c) / [`src/profile.h`](src/profile.h) — webkit dir helpers
+- [`src/main.c`](src/main.c) — startup ordering, logout proxy, use `web_context_*`
+- [`src/agent_login.c`](src/agent_login.c) — `agent_logout`, `agent_switch_identity`
+- [`src/tab_manager.c`](src/tab_manager.c) / [`src/tab_manager.h`](src/tab_manager.h) — context swap support, sidebar teardown
+- [`src/nostr_bridge.c`](src/nostr_bridge.c) — re-runnable registration
+- [`src/nostr_scheme.c`](src/nostr_scheme.c) — accept ctx, idempotent
+- [`src/tor_scheme.c`](src/tor_scheme.c) — accept ctx, idempotent
+- [`src/net_services.c`](src/net_services.c) — accept ctx instead of default
+- [`Makefile`](Makefile) — add `web_context.o`
+- New test page: `tests/local-site/identity-leak-test.html`
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+- **High risk** — changes how the `WebKitWebContext` is created and tears down,
+  which touches every subsystem that references the context.
+- **Startup reordering** — context creation must move to *after* login, which
+  changes the long-standing flow in [`main.c`](src/main.c).
+- **Re-runnable scheme registration** — WebKit may not support unregistering
+  scheme handlers cleanly; verify that building a fresh context and
+  re-registering works without leaking the old context.
+- **Sidebar webview** — the agent chat sidebar ([`tab_manager_toggle_sidebar`](src/tab_manager.h:198))
+  keeps a long-lived webview; must be destroyed on context swap or it will
+  hold a ref to the dead context.
+- **Mitigation**: implement Part B (clear-on-switch) first as a standalone
+  change — it alone fixes the leak even without per-user dirs. Ship that,
+  then layer Part A (per-user data managers) on top.
