Fix SecurityController callback reference (v0.2.1)

[rameerez]

Fixes ArgumentError in production environments with eager loading

Problem

SecurityController was calling skip_before_action :authenticate_api_keys_user! but the actual callback defined in ApplicationController is :authenticate_api_keys_owner!

Solution

Fixed the callback reference to use the correct method name, aligning with the gem's owner-agnostic design.

Changes

• Bump version to 0.2.1
• Update CHANGELOG.md with fix details

Closes #2

Pull Request Review

I'll review this PR focusing on code quality, potential bugs, performance, security, and test coverage.

Todo List:

• Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md) - No specific CLAUDE.md found
• Examine changed files (CHANGELOG.md, version.rb)
• Review the actual SecurityController fix context
• Check ApplicationController for callback definition
• Assess code quality and best practices
• Evaluate potential bugs and issues
• Consider performance implications
• Review security concerns
• Check test coverage
• Provide comprehensive feedback

Review Summary

This PR correctly fixes a critical bug in the SecurityController where the wrong callback method name was being used in skip_before_action.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Excellent fix implementation:

• The change from :authenticate_api_keys_user! to :authenticate_api_keys_owner! aligns perfectly with the gem's owner-agnostic design introduced in v0.2.0
• Proper version bump following semantic versioning (patch increment for bug fix)
• Well-structured CHANGELOG entry with clear description and issue reference
• Clean git history with descriptive commit messages

Bug Analysis ✅

Critical production bug fixed:

• Root cause: app/controllers/api_keys/security_controller.rb:8 was calling skip_before_action :authenticate_api_keys_user! but app/controllers/api_keys/application_controller.rb:18,24 defines authenticate_api_keys_owner!
• Impact: Would cause ArgumentError in production with eager loading when Rails tries to validate the callback exists
• Solution: Correctly references the actual callback method defined in the parent controller

Performance Considerations ✅

No performance impact:

• This is purely a method name fix with no algorithmic changes
• Fixes a runtime error that would prevent the controller from loading
• No additional overhead introduced

Security Concerns ✅

Security implications properly handled:

• The fix maintains the same security behavior - skipping authentication for the best_practices static informational page
• No change in authorization logic or scope
• Continues to properly inherit from ApplicationController which enforces authentication via before_action :authenticate_api_keys_owner!

Test Coverage ❌

Missing test coverage for this scenario:

• No tests found specifically for SecurityController
• The production bug suggests this controller path isn't covered by integration tests
• Recommendation: Add a test case that verifies the best_practices action is accessible without authentication, which would have caught this callback reference error

Example test that should be added:

# test/controllers/api_keys/security_controller_test.rb
class ApiKeys::SecurityControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  test "best_practices page accessible without authentication" do
    get "/api_keys/security/best-practices"  # or whatever the mounted path is
    assert_response :success
  end
end

Architecture Notes 📋

Well-designed owner-agnostic pattern:

• The v0.2.0 refactor to support any owner model (User, Organization, Team, etc.) is well-implemented
• ApplicationController properly uses configurable authentication methods from ApiKeys.configuration
• The callback naming convention (authenticate_api_keys_owner!) is consistent and clear

Recommendation

Approved with suggestion: This is a solid bug fix that resolves a critical production issue. The only improvement would be adding test coverage for the SecurityController to prevent similar regressions.
