Description

What should be done

In the OAuth flow we first ask the user to login and then to consent for the asked scopes.

For external Lenra clients, the only scope asked for is app:websocket that does not really give access to user information.

To give a better user experience to our users we will skip the consent page when the only asked scope is app:websocket.

Technical recommandation

See if Hydra manages skipping consent in the acceptation of the connection.

If not we can validate the consent when loading the consent page, but it's not the best solution.

Research direction

Start by tracing the OAuth connection-acceptance and consent-page flow, then check whether Hydra can skip consent when the sole scope is app:websocket. Done means external Lenra clients with only that scope bypass consent while other scopes retain consent; the issue names no files or tests, so locate those entry points first.
