Two follow-ups to patch2 (both in patch-compat-sfe.py, guarded):
1. compat_needs_sfe() now also serves the SFE to ANY iOS browser on iOS<=16.3,
not just Safari. iOS Chrome/Firefox are WebKit skins (Apple mandate) reporting
a non-Safari UA family, so the Safari-only check missed them and they still got
the blank modern SPA. Added an os.family=="iOS" + version<=16.3 branch.
2. Inject static social-login <a> links (Continue with Google/GitHub/Facebook ->
/source/oauth/login/<slug>/) into the SFE shell (flow-sfe.html). The SFE
architecturally can't render Identification-stage sources (authentik docs), and
emo's account (emil.barzin@gmail.com) is Google-only with NO password — so the
SFE's username/password form was a dead end. The links are plain redirects that
work on any browser. Slugs are static; re-verify on source changes.
Tag -> 2026.2.4-patch3; values repoint + docs land once GHA builds it.

Old Safari/WebKit (<=16.3, e.g. iPadOS<=16.3) can't parse authentik's modern
ES2022 flow SPA and gets a COMPLETELY BLANK login — exactly what emo's iPadOS-15.8
iPad hit. authentik already ships a no-JS Simplified Flow Executor (SFE, ES5) and
serves it via compat_needs_sfe(), but only for IE/old-Edge/PKeyAuth. Extend that
to old Safari so those clients get the REAL authentik login (password + MFA +
reputation, identity preserved — NO auth downgrade, no new credential store).
Chosen over a Traefik basic-auth fallback after an adversarial review: that route
would put a single, spoofable-UA password in front of vbarzin->wizard (passwordless
root on the cluster-controlling devvm) — an MFA->single-factor path to cluster root.
SFE keeps full authentik auth and is generic for any old browser.
Shipped as patch #2 in the existing overlay image (patch-compat-sfe.py — guarded:
asserts the upstream anchor + ast-parses; verified against the live interface.py).
Tag -> 2026.2.4-patch2; the values repoint lands once GHA builds the image.

The login flow's identification stage runs a bare select_subclasses() that
LEFT-JOINs every Source subtype table — ~1.4s server-side on every cold login
(verified live: 1527ms vs 14ms). Narrow it to only the subtypes that render a UI
login button (oauth/saml/plex/telegram/kerberos — not the sync-only ldap/scim),
via django-model-utils string accessors so no import is needed. Byte-identical
output, ~100x faster, robust to adding new login source types.
Shipped as a thin overlay over the official image (mirrors the diun/excalidraw
precedent): stacks/authentik/Dockerfile (FROM ghcr.io/goauthentik/server:2026.2.4
+ a guarded sed) built by .github/workflows/build-authentik.yml -> ghcr.io/
viktorbarzin/authentik-server:2026.2.4-patch1. The values repoint + Keel freeze
land in a follow-up commit once the image is built. Upstream bug still present in
main (no fix/PR) — drop this overlay once upstream narrows the query.
