User description

Integrated the Vercel Toolbar into the project following the official documentation. The implementation ensures that the toolbar is active in development and preview environments, and for authenticated users in production, preventing unauthorized access in the production environment while still enabling it for team members.

PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
Authz bypass risk

Description: The toolbar is enabled for any authenticated user in production (const isEmployee =
!!user), which may unintentionally expose Vercel Toolbar functionality (and any associated
internal diagnostics/actions) to non-employee end users if your auth system allows regular
customers to sign in; restrict this to an explicit allowlist/role/claim rather than mere
authentication.
vercel-toolbar.tsx [6-17]

Referred Code
export function VercelToolbarWrapper() {
  const { user, loading } = useCurrentUser();

  if (loading) return null;

  const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';
  const isPreview = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview';
  const isEmployee = !!user;

  if (isDevelopment || isPreview || isEmployee) {
    return <VercelToolbar />;

Broad authentication check exposes toolbar

The current logic exposes the Vercel Toolbar to any authenticated user in
production. This should be restricted to only team members by adding a more
specific check, such as user role or email domain.

Examples:

components/vercel-toolbar.tsx [13-15]
  const isEmployee = !!user;

  if (isDevelopment || isPreview || isEmployee) {

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

// components/vercel-toolbar.tsx
export function VercelToolbarWrapper() {
  const { user, loading } = useCurrentUser();

  if (loading) return null;

  const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';
  const isPreview = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview';
  const isEmployee = !!user; // Any authenticated user is treated as an employee

  if (isDevelopment || isPreview || isEmployee) {
    return <VercelToolbar />;
  }

  return null;
}

After:

// components/vercel-toolbar.tsx
export function VercelToolbarWrapper() {
  const { user, loading } = useCurrentUser();

  if (loading) return null;

  const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';
  const isPreview = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview';
  // More specific check for team members, e.g., by role
  const isTeamMember = user?.role === 'admin'; 

  if (isDevelopment || isPreview || isTeamMember) {
    return <VercelToolbar />;
  }

  return null;
}
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a significant security flaw where development tools are exposed to all authenticated users in production, not just the development team, due to an overly permissive check.

High
Possible issue
Correctly inject toolbar in production

Add the inject={true} prop to when rendering for employees in
a production environment to ensure it is displayed as intended.

components/vercel-toolbar.tsx [1-20]

 'use client';
 
 import { VercelToolbar } from '@vercel/toolbar/next';
 import { useCurrentUser } from '@/lib/auth/use-current-user';
 
 export function VercelToolbarWrapper() {
   const { user, loading } = useCurrentUser();
 
   if (loading) return null;
 
   const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';
   const isPreview = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview';
   const isEmployee = !!user;
 
-  if (isDevelopment || isPreview || isEmployee) {
+  if (isDevelopment || isPreview) {
     return <VercelToolbar />;
+  }
+
+  if (isEmployee) {
+    return <VercelToolbar inject={true} />;
   }
 
   return null;
 }
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the Vercel Toolbar will not render in production for employees without the inject={true} prop, fixing a functional bug in the PR's implementation.

High
General
Lazy load toolbar without SSR

Use next/dynamic with ssr: false to lazy-load the VercelToolbarWrapper
component, preventing it from being server-side rendered and reducing the
initial client bundle size.

app/layout.tsx [100-102]

-import { Suspense } from 'react'
-import { VercelToolbarWrapper } from '@/components/vercel-toolbar'
+import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
+const VercelToolbarWrapper = dynamic(
+  () => import('@/components/vercel-toolbar').then(mod => mod.VercelToolbarWrapper),
+  { ssr: false, loading: () => null }
+)
 ...
-<Suspense fallback={null}>
-  <VercelToolbarWrapper />
-</Suspense>
+<VercelToolbarWrapper />

[To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly proposes using next/dynamic with ssr: false, which is the idiomatic Next.js approach for client-only components, improving performance by reducing the initial bundle size.

The main concern is the production access control: !!user is a very broad condition and may expose the Vercel Toolbar to any logged-in user, conflicting with the stated goal of limiting it to team members. Additionally, the environment checks rely on build-time inlined process.env values in a client component, which may not match runtime expectations depending on deployment/promotion flow.

Additional notes (1)
  • Maintainability | app/layout.tsx:97-102
    The Suspense boundary here likely doesn’t do what you want. VercelToolbarWrapper doesn’t suspend (no React.lazy, no use()), so fallback={null} is effectively unused. If you added this to avoid hydration issues, note that Suspense won’t prevent them unless the child actually suspends.

If your goal is to avoid SSR/hydration discrepancies for a client-only toolbar, consider a client-only dynamic import with ssr: false (or ensure the wrapper intentionally suspends).

Summary of changes

What changed

  • Added Vercel Toolbar support via the new dependency @vercel/toolbar.
  • Introduced a client component components/vercel-toolbar.tsx exporting VercelToolbarWrapper that conditionally renders <VercelToolbar /> based on:
    • NODE_ENV === 'development'
    • NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview'
    • presence of an authenticated user
  • Wired the wrapper into app/layout.tsx under a React.Suspense boundary with fallback={null}.

Files touched:

  • app/layout.tsx
  • components/vercel-toolbar.tsx (new)
  • package.json (+ @vercel/toolbar)
  • bun.lock (lockfile update)

isEmployee is derived as !!user, which effectively enables the toolbar for any authenticated user, not specifically “team members/employees” as described in the PR context. If production auth includes regular end-users, this could unintentionally expose the toolbar in production.

Consider tightening this to a role/claim check (e.g., user.isStaff, user.email domain allowlist, or a server-issued claim), and ideally gating with an explicit env flag so it can be disabled quickly without code changes.

Suggestion

Update the production gating logic to check a stricter authorization signal than !!user, and optionally add an explicit kill-switch env var.

Example:

  • Add NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_VERCEL_TOOLBAR for dev/preview toggling.
  • Replace const isEmployee = !!user; with a real predicate, e.g. const isStaff = user?.roles?.includes('staff') || user?.email?.endsWith('@yourdomain.com'); (whatever your auth model supports).

Then gate with:

const enabledByEnv = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_VERCEL_TOOLBAR === 'true'
const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
const isPreview = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview'
const isStaff = /* stricter check */

if (enabledByEnv && (isDevelopment || isPreview || isStaff)) return <VercelToolbar />
return null

In a client component, process.env.* values are statically inlined at build time. That’s fine for NODE_ENV and NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV, but be aware this isn’t a runtime check and can behave unexpectedly across builds/promotions (e.g., an image built for preview later promoted).

If you need runtime-accurate environment detection, prefer a server-provided flag (via props) or a lightweight endpoint that returns environment + entitlement, then render accordingly.

Suggestion

If environment/entitlement must be runtime-accurate, compute the “should show toolbar” decision on the server and pass it to the client wrapper.

Example approach:

  • In a server component (or layout), compute const showToolbar = /* env + auth */.
  • Render <VercelToolbarWrapper enabled={showToolbar} /> and in the client component only render based on the prop.
