EVT 2026-02-20 - Stage A Auth Gate Low-friction and Recovery Entry Finalization

Session scope

Close remaining execution choices for outside-in auth gating and recovery/paywall entry behavior, based on the confirmed A/A/A/A/A selection set.

Confirmed outcomes

1. Guest attempt-start auth gate:

• When guest presses Bat dau lam bai, auth gate opens inline (modal/bottom-sheet), not a forced full-page redirect by default.

2. Post-auth return target:

• After successful auth from protected context, system returns user directly to the exact prior protected target (for example the selected attempt entry), not Home-first.

3. OTP anti-abuse on signup/login OTP screens:

• Wrong OTP attempts must apply both cooldown and short temporary lock behavior (not unlimited retries).

4. Forgot-password entry:

• Quen mat khau runs directly from login step with recoverable contact verification path.
• No detour to signup flow for password recovery.

5. Result paywall entry:

• In result context, locked AI actions stay in-context and open quick-upgrade popup.
• Standalone pricing page is optional detail path, not default redirect.

Open items carried forward

• None for this A/A/A/A/A cluster.
