NACE.AI (console.nace.ai) — Passwordless OTP Autoreg + Credit Gate

Service: nace.ai (Drex inference — POST /v1/systemone, NDI documents) Auth: Next.js server actions, passwordless email OTP ("Drex sign-in code"), Cloudflare Turnstile managed Key format: nace_sk_{51 chars} — retrieved via Replace dialog (full key shown once) Credit: $25 advertised, but structurally gated to Google/GitHub OAuth for free email providers

Recon

Login page: https://console.nace.ai/login
No /signup route (returns 404) — login IS registration
Turnstile sitekey: 0x4AAAAAAFCRPOs3yZbksWF1 (managed, no action required)
Auth options: Google OAuth + GitHub OAuth + email code (passwordless OTP)
Sitekey discovery: grep -oE '0x4[A-Za-z0-9]+' login_dump.html

Registration Flow (email OTP)

Navigate to /login, fill email, Camoufox solves Turnstile natively (0 captcha spend)
Server sends 6-digit "Drex sign-in code" to email (sender: Drex/NACE, subject contains "sign-in code")
Parse code from text/plain MIME body with service-specific regex: sign-in code is (\d{6})
- PITFALL: Generic IMAP regex (\d{6}) catches SPF header numbers. Filter by suffix + sender keywords.
Fill code, verify → redirect to /dashboard
API keys at /dashboard/api-keys, billing at /dashboard/billing

Key Extraction

Full key is NOT visible on the API keys page — only partial mask shown
Click "Replace" on an existing key → modal shows full nace_sk_{51} once
Scrape from input.value, innerHTML, or clipboard — NOT page text
Key format: nace_sk_{51 chars}, Bearer auth on https://console.nace.ai/v1
Up to 3 active keys per account
Test: POST /v1/systemone → 402 insufficient_credit if no balance, 401 if key invalid

Credit Gate (CRITICAL)

Email OTP registrations on Gmail/free providers do NOT receive the $25 credit.

Billing page quote: "Free credit is given once per person and not to temporary email addresses. On Gmail, Outlook and other free email providers, only accounts that sign in with Google or GitHub get it."

Email OTP signup → credit_balance: $0.00 → PARTIAL (key valid, no credit)
Google/GitHub OAuth signup → presumably receives the $25 (untested)
Temp email domains (voidash.bond) explicitly excluded
Promo code field exists on billing page (untested)

Browser

Camoufox headless solves Turnstile natively (no 2captcha spend)
Fallback: Playwright Chromium with --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled + custom UA
Browser retry pattern: try Camoufox 3×, then Playwright fallback

Key Verification

curl -s https://console.nace.ai/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer nace_sk_..."
# 200 = key valid (may return 0 models — Drex, not chat API)
# 401 = key invalid
# 402 = auth OK but no spendable credit (for /v1/systemone)
