# Clerk

<Note>
  Clerk provides authentication for hosted Lucia surfaces.
</Note>

***

## Role

Clerk supports:

```text theme={"dark"}
sign-in
user session management
hosted auth pages
protected app access
```

***

## Current Use

Clerk is part of the broader Lucia platform stack and supports the transition toward real hosted environments.

***

## Product Requirement

Authentication must not make operator workflows feel brittle or hostile.

Auth should support:

```text theme={"dark"}
secure access
fast login
low-friction testing
clear environment separation
```

***

## Future Considerations

Future work may include:

```text theme={"dark"}
role-based access
owner vs staff permissions
property-specific access
audit-linked operator identity
```

***
