# Description of Changes
## What & why
Customers using ADFS (or any generic OIDC provider that doesn't emit
`email`) hit `Attribute value for 'email' cannot be null` during OAuth2
login with no visibility into what claims the provider actually sent.
The only available remedy was guessing at
`security.oauth2.useAsUsername` until something worked.
This PR adds a new opt-in `security.oauth2.debugLogging` flag (default
`false`). When enabled, `CustomOAuth2UserService` logs:
- All ID token claims (sorted, with values)
- All UserInfo endpoint claims (if any)
- The merged attribute key set Spring exposes to `getAttribute()`
- The value the configured `useAsUsername` actually resolved to
- A **`Hint:`** line listing the claim keys present in the token that
map to a valid `UsernameAttribute` enum value — i.e. exactly what the
operator could put in `useAsUsername` to make login work
Logged at `INFO` on the success path and `ERROR` on failure (inside the
existing `catch (IllegalArgumentException)` block that throws
`OAuth2AuthenticationException`). The block is wrapped with a `[OAUTH2
DEBUG] ... [/OAUTH2 DEBUG]` banner and ends with a PII warning so
operators don't leave it on in production.
Default off → zero observable change for anyone not actively
troubleshooting.
## Files changed
| File | Why |
|---|---|
| `app/common/.../ApplicationProperties.java` | New `debugLogging` field
on the `OAUTH2` config class with javadoc warning about PII |
| `app/core/src/main/resources/settings.yml.template` | Documents
`oauth2.debugLogging` so it appears on next startup |
| `app/proprietary/.../security/service/CustomOAuth2UserService.java` |
Emits the claim dump + suggestion hint when the flag is on |
|
`app/proprietary/.../security/service/CustomOAuth2UserServiceDebugLoggingTest.java`
(new) | Unit test: mocks the OIDC delegate, asserts off-path is silent
and on-path emits the dump with the right Hint contents |
## End-to-end verification
Ran the bundled `testing/compose/docker-compose-keycloak-oauth.yml`
Keycloak realm, configured `security.oauth2.useAsUsername: mail`
(Keycloak emits `email`, not `mail`) and `provider: demarest` (matches
the original customer bug report). Triggered the OAuth flow at
`http://localhost:8080/oauth2/authorization/demarest` and confirmed:
- The ERROR-level dump fires with the full 19-claim ID token decoded
- `-- Value at 'mail' : <NULL — this is why login fails>` correctly
identifies the missing claim
- `-- Hint:` correctly suggests `[email, family_name, given_name,
preferred_username]` (the four keys present that map to valid
`UsernameAttribute` values)
- Auth still fails with the original `OAuth2AuthenticationException` —
no change to control flow, just added diagnostic logging
Unit test (`CustomOAuth2UserServiceDebugLoggingTest`) covers both
branches.
## Reviewer notes
- **No new public APIs.** The flag is config-only; no servlet endpoints
exposed.
- **PII is logged when the flag is on.** This is the whole point —
operators need to see the claims to fix their config — but it's gated,
defaults off, and the dump self-documents with a `WARNING: ... Set
security.oauth2.debugLogging=false once troubleshooting is complete.`
footer.
- **Why log everything, not just sub/email?** Because the operator
doesn't know in advance which claim they actually want. ADFS uses `upn`
in some configs and `preferred_username` in others; Azure AD uses `oid`;
the customer here had neither. Dumping the full set is the only way to
make the diagnostic self-service.
- **Out of scope for this PR (follow-ups):**
- The `UsernameAttribute` enum doesn't include `upn` / `unique_name`
(common ADFS claims). If the customer's token only has `upn`, the Hint
will be empty even though the operator can see `upn` in the dump. Worth
a separate PR to extend the enum.
- The known-provider validator in `Provider.java` (rejects e.g.
`useAsUsername: mail` for `provider: keycloak` at startup) bypasses our
diagnostic for those provider names. ADFS customers using `provider:
<name>` fall into the `default` branch so are not affected — but it's a
sharp edge worth documenting.

## Summary
Adds a new AI specialist that finds **textual contradictions** across
one or more PDFs — conflicting claims, recommendations, points of view,
contested facts — built entirely in Python on top of the new
`DocumentService` + `ChunkedReasoner` stack from #6314. Replaces the
closed#6304, which was started before #6314 landed and therefore
over-engineered (Java orchestrator, two-round handshake, resume
artifact, discriminated-union lift).
Two commits:
1. **`refactor(engine): extract ChunkedMapper[T] from ChunkedReasoner`**
— pure refactor, public API of ChunkedReasoner unchanged. New
`ChunkedMapper[T: BaseModel]` is a generic parallel-chunk primitive
(slicing, semaphore, time-bounded extraction, cancellation drain,
progress events) that's now a peer to ChunkedReasoner rather than locked
inside it. The compression loop stays on ChunkedReasoner where it
belongs.
2. **`feat(ai): add Contradiction Agent on ChunkedMapper`** — the agent
itself, plus integrations into `PdfReviewAgent` and `PdfQuestionAgent`.
## Architecture
- **Python-only.** No Java code. No `AgentToolId.CONTRADICTION_AGENT`.
No dedicated HTTP endpoint. No resume artifact, no discriminated-union
lift in `contracts/common.py`. Detector runs inside the Python engine
and the Python engine alone.
- **Review path** (`PdfReviewAgent`): a new
`ContradictionIntentClassifier` fires on contradiction-flavoured
prompts; agent runs detection synchronously and emits a single
`EditPlanResponse(steps=[ADD_COMMENTS])`. Single-turn flow — no resume.
- **Question path** (`PdfQuestionAgent`): a new
`ContradictionCapability` joins `RagCapability` and
`WholeDocReaderCapability` in the smart-model toolset, exposing
`find_contradictions(query)`. The smart model picks it from the toolset
alongside `search_knowledge` and `read_full_document`.
## Inside `ContradictionDetector.detect()`
1. `DocumentService.read_pages(file_id)` → ordered `list[Page]`.
2. `ChunkedMapper[_ExtractedClaims].map_pages(...)` — char-budgeted
multi-page slicing; each slice runs the claim-extractor LLM in parallel
under a semaphore.
3. Page-traceability: the extractor returns `_ExtractedClaim.page`
(which `[Page N]` marker the claim came from). The wrapper validates
`page ∈ chunk.pages`; if not, mechanical fallback searches the chunk's
page text for the verbatim quote and reassigns. If still no match, drop
the claim.
4. `Claim.anchor_quality: Literal[\"verbatim\", \"paraphrased\"]` is set
by a substring check against the declared page's text. Verbatim quotes
feed `anchor_text` for snap-to-quote add-comments placement; paraphrased
ones fall back to margin geometry.
5. Subject canonicalisation: ONE fast-model LLM call collapses synonyms
across the document. Fails open to lexical bucketing.
6. Pre-filters: drop identical-quote pairs; drop same-page same-polarity
paraphrases.
7. Per-bucket pair detection in parallel (separate semaphore, cap 5).
Buckets > 12 claims chunk into windows of 12 with overlap 2; pairs
deduped across overlapping windows by frozen `(i, j)` index pair.
8. Summary fast-model call with fallback string on error.
## Prompt-injection hardening
Every prompt that interpolates user-supplied or PDF-extracted text wraps
content in `<user_message>` / `<verdict>` / `<content>` tags with an
explicit SECURITY preamble instructing the model to treat tagged content
as data only.
## Limitations
- **Combined math + contradiction intent**: when both intent classifiers
fire on the same prompt, contradiction takes precedence and the math
intent is silently dropped. Documented in the Review module docstring
and pinned by
`test_review_integration.py::test_contradiction_precedence_over_math`.
- **Cross-window contradiction reach**: within a subject bucket, pairs
more than ~10 claim indices apart in the same chunked window may be
missed by the overlap-2 strategy. Documented in `test_detector.py`.
Acceptable for v1.
## Settings (engine/src/stirling/config/settings.py)
```python
contradiction_detect_concurrency = 5 # per-bucket detector semaphore
contradiction_bucket_chunk_size = 12 # max claims per detector call
contradiction_bucket_chunk_overlap = 2 # overlap for >threshold buckets
```
`chars_per_slice` and extraction concurrency are reused from the
existing `chunked_reasoner_*` settings.
## Test plan
- [x] `uv run pytest tests/ -v` — **245/245 pass** (210 pre-existing +
35 new)
- [x] `uv run ruff check src/ tests/` — clean
- [x] `uv run pyright src/stirling/agents/contradiction/
src/stirling/contracts/contradiction.py` — 0 errors
- [x] `./gradlew :proprietary:test` — green; no Java was touched, but
verified untouched
- [x] Page-traceability tests cover: valid page kept, hallucinated page
dropped, mechanical-reassign on misattribution, anchor-quality verbatim
vs paraphrased
- [x] Review integration: ADD_COMMENTS plan with two paired CommentSpecs
per contradiction; NeedIngestResponse precheck; precedence vs math
intent pinned
- [x] Question integration: all three capabilities wired into
smart-model toolset; `find_contradictions` returns formatted report text
- [x] ChunkedMapper standalone: slicing, multi-chunk ordering, worker
failures, timeouts, cancellation drain, semaphore saturation
- [x] ChunkedReasoner regression: all pre-existing tests pass unchanged
after the internal split
## Relationship to closed#6304#6304 was closed in favour of this PR. The closed PR predated #6314 and
modelled the agent as a Java-orchestrated two-round examine/deliberate
flow with its own HTTP endpoint and a discriminated-union resume
artifact. With #6314 making full ordered page text available to the
engine via `DocumentService.read_pages`, none of that is needed. Net
effect: drop ~600 lines of Java, drop the two-round handshake, drop the
`ToolReportArtifact` lift, while ending up with a more scalable agent
(chunk-based instead of page-based extraction; tested to
ChunkedReasoner-equivalent scale).
## Summary
`#6145` (port picker) and `#6244` (gradle unification) combined to break
`task dev` / `task dev:all` on Windows. Two independent regressions,
both addressed here.
### 1. `find-free-port.ps1` panic (`#6145`)
```
$ task --dry dev
The argument 'scriptsfind-free-port.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist.
panic: ended up with a non-nil exitStatus.err but a zero exitStatus.code
```
- **Backslash stripped.** `Taskfile.yml` had
`scripts\find-free-port.ps1`. go-task pipes the `sh:` block through
mvdan/sh, which treats `\` as a POSIX escape and silently drops it,
leaving `scriptsfind-free-port.ps1`. PowerShell can't find the file,
exits non-zero, mvdan/sh panics on the inconsistent exit status.
Switched to a forward slash.
- **`-Preferred 8080,5173` is brittle.** Relies on PowerShell parsing
the comma-list into `[int[]]`. Dropped the named flag; switched the
script's `param` to `[Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments =
$true)][int[]]$Preferred`; pass each port as its own positional token
(matching how the bash variant is called).
### 2. `bash gradlew` can't find Java on Windows (`#6244`)
```
[backend:dev] ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH.
```
`#6244` unified all gradle invocations under `bash gradlew` on the
assumption that Git-Bash inherits Windows-side env. It doesn't (and
neither does WSL bash, which can also shadow `bash` on a developer's
PATH). The standard Adoptium/Temurin installer sets `JAVA_HOME` in the
Windows env only, so `bash gradlew` fails before Spring Boot even loads.
Restored the per-platform branch for every backend task: `cmd /c
".\gradlew.bat ..."` on Windows, `./gradlew ...` on Linux/macOS. Two
Windows-specific gotchas to be aware of for future edits:
- mvdan/sh strips `\` outside of double quotes, so `cmd /c
.\gradlew.bat` ends up as `.gradlew.bat`. The entire payload must be
wrapped in double quotes (`cmd /c "..."`).
- Modern Windows excludes cwd from cmd.exe's search path, so the leading
`.\` is required — bare `cmd /c gradlew.bat` errors with "is not
recognized" even from the repo root.
## Test plan
- [x] `task --dry dev` / `task --dry dev:all` on Windows resolve ports
cleanly and dispatch the inner tasks
- [x] `powershell -NoProfile -File scripts/find-free-port.ps1 8080 5173
5001` prints three ports
- [x] `task backend:dev PORT=8081` on Windows starts Spring Boot in ~9s;
`/api/v1/info/status` returns `{"status":"UP"}`
- [x] `task dev:all` on Windows brings up all three services healthy:
backend `/api/v1/info/status` 200, engine `/health` 200, frontend `/`
200
- [ ] Linux / macOS path unaffected (only the Windows branches changed
in behaviour)
## Summary
The frontend was rerendering excessively across many interactions —
typing, clicking tools, opening modals, toggling the sidebar — because
**multiple compounding ref-instability cascades defeated `memo()` checks
in hot paths**. This PR fixes the cascades structurally.
Seven focused commits, low-to-high blast radius:
1. `perf(contexts): memoize BannerContext provider value`
2. `perf(contexts): memoize CommentAuthor and ActiveDocument provider
values`
3. `perf(contexts): memoize AppConfigContext provider value`
4. `perf(useToolManagement): stop spreading tool entries to keep refs
stable` — **root-cause fix**
5. `refactor(ToolPicker): hoist module-scope styles and helpers`
6. `feat(ToolWorkflowContext): add ref-stable Actions and Data subset
contexts` — additive
7. `perf(tools): migrate hot consumers to slim contexts and wrap in
memo()`
(Plus `style: apply prettier formatting` for CI.)
## What was wrong
Whenever something high-up in the tree caused a render, a chain of
unstable references propagated downward and forced every `ToolButton` to
re-execute its full body (hooks, derived computations, hook
subscriptions to other contexts). The chain:
- **4 unstable Context providers** (`Banner`, `CommentAuthor`,
`ActiveDocument`, `AppConfig`) were passing fresh `value={{ … }}`
objects on every render. Every consumer rerendered on every ancestor
render.
- **`useToolManagement.toolRegistry`** spread `{...baseTool, name,
description}` — a no-op spread that manufactured a new tool object
identity on every memo recompute.
- **The big `ToolWorkflowContext`** (25+ fields including
`state.searchQuery`) rebuilt its entire value on every
keystroke/click/toggle, forcing every `useToolWorkflow()` consumer (~36
files) to rerender.
- **`useToolNavigation`** transitively subscribed every `ToolButton` to
the full workflow context.
- **`ToolButton` & `ToolPicker`** weren't `memo()`-wrapped, so nothing
checked.
- **`ToolPanel`** passed inline `onSelect={(id) =>
handleToolSelect(...)}` — fresh ref every render, defeats child
memoization.
- **`ToolPicker`** allocated inline styles / `[]` / `toTitleCase` inside
the function body — churned `useToolSections`'s internal memo.
## Interaction matrix — what improves
The PR fixes the underlying ref-stability problem; the same fix benefits
*every* interaction that previously triggered the cascade:
| Interaction | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| **Typing in tool search** | All visible buttons rerender per keystroke
| Only buttons whose matched-text changes rerender |
| **Clicking a tool** | All 36 `useToolWorkflow()` consumers rerender |
Only previously-selected and newly-selected buttons rerender (via
`isSelected` prop) |
| **Toggling sidebar / panel mode / reader mode** | Every tool button
rerenders | Tool components stay still (slim context doesn't see UI
state) |
| **Switching workbench / navigation** | `handleToolSelect` identity
changes → cascades through `onSelect` props | Ref-stabilized in Actions
context. Identity stable. Children's memo bails |
| **Modal/dialog open/close** | AppConfig churns → every `useAppConfig`
consumer rerenders (ToolButton reads `premiumEnabled`) | AppConfig
memoized; consumers rerender only when config changes |
| **Banner show/hide** | BannerProvider value churns → every consumer
rerenders on any ancestor render | Memoized; AppLayout rerenders only
when banner content changes |
| **Any state update high in the tree** | Compounding cascade defeats
memo everywhere | Stable subscriptions; memo bails out |
## Evidence
Per-keystroke prop instability on `ToolButton` (cleanest measurable
signal, captured via custom memo comparators logging which prop refs
differ):
| | `tool` ref diffs | `onSelect` ref diffs | `matchedSynonym` value
diffs | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before | 18 | 18 | 6 | **42** |
| After | 0 | 0 | 6 | **6 (all legitimate)** |
→ **86% reduction** in spurious per-keystroke prop instability. The 6
remaining matched-synonym diffs are correct (different substring
highlighted per keystroke).
Context value rebuild counts during a keystroke (verified with
instrumented `useMemo` factories): `useToolWorkflowData=0`,
`useToolWorkflowActions=0`, `AppConfigContext=0`.
The same stabilization applies to click/toggle/modal interactions — they
were all driven by the same cascading invalidations.
## Honest caveat on render-count metrics
`React.Profiler` counts and function-body execution counts in **dev
mode** came back identical before vs after (StrictMode + concurrent
rendering + Mantine internal commits dominate the numbers). The PR's
value is measured against the **prop-stability signal** above, not
Profiler counts. Production builds — where StrictMode doesn't
double-render and Mantine internals aren't constantly committing — will
show memo bail out properly.
## Risk × benefit
| # | Commit | Risk | Benefit |
|---|--------|------|---------|
| 1 | BannerContext memo | ⬛ Trivial | 🟦 Small |
| 2 | CommentAuthor + ActiveDocument memo | ⬛ Trivial | 🟦 Small |
| 3 | AppConfig memo | ⬛ Trivial | 🟦 Moderate (wide consumer base) |
| 4 | useToolManagement spread removal | ⬛ Trivial | 🟥 **High (root
cause)** |
| 5 | ToolPicker hoist | ⬛ Trivial | 🟦 Small |
| 6 | ToolWorkflowContext split | 🟧 Low-Med | 🟥 **High (foundation)** |
| 7 | Hot consumer migration + memo | 🟧 Low-Med | 🟥 **High
(actualization)** |
Commit 6 introduces an invariant: ref-stabilized callbacks in the
Actions context must only be invoked from event handlers (post-commit),
never during render. All current call sites comply.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx playwright test --project=stubbed` — 145 / 6 skipped / 0
failed before and after.
- [x] Targeted regression: `main-dashboard`, `tool-search`, `navigation`
— 11/11 passing.
- [x] CI passing on commits (one infrastructure flake on
`docker-compose-tests` — "No space left on device" — unrelated;
rerunning).
- [ ] Manual sanity check in a dev build after merge.
## What this enables
The same Actions + Data subset-context pattern can be applied to
`FileContext`, `NavigationContext`, and other big contexts. The
foundation is in place.
## Add Taskfile for unified dev workflow
### Summary
- Introduces [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) as the single CLI entry
point for all development workflows across backend, frontend, engine,
Docker, and desktop
- ~80 tasks organized into 6 namespaces: `backend:`, `frontend:`,
`engine:`, `docker:`, `desktop:`, plus root-level composites
- All CI workflows migrated to use Task
- Deletes `engine/Makefile` and `scripts/build-tauri-jlink.{sh,bat}` —
replaced by Task equivalents
- Removes redundant npm scripts (`dev`, `build`, `prep`, `lint`, `test`,
`typecheck:all`) from `package.json`
- Smart dependency caching: `sources`/`status`/`generates`
fingerprinting, CI-aware `npm ci` vs `npm install`, `run: once` for
parallel dep deduplication
### What this does NOT do
- Does not replace Gradle, npm, or Docker — Taskfile is a thin
orchestration wrapper
- Does not change application code or behavior
### Install
```
npm install -g @go-task/cli # or: brew install go-task, winget install Task.Task
```
### Quick start
```
task --list # discover all tasks
task install # install all deps
task dev # start backend + frontend
task dev:all # also start AI engine
task test # run all tests
task check # quick quality gate (local dev)
task check:all # full CI quality gate
```
### Test plan
- [ ] Install `task` CLI and run `task --list` — verify all tasks
display
- [ ] Run `task install` — verify frontend + engine deps install
- [ ] Run `task dev` — verify backend + frontend start, Ctrl+C exits
cleanly
- [ ] Run `task frontend:check` — verify typecheck + lint + test pass
- [ ] Run `task desktop:dev` — verify jlink builds are cached on second
run
- [ ] Verify CI passes on all workflows

## Summary
This PR adds full desktop (Tauri) support for the shared signing feature
when connected to a self-hosted server, and fixes several bugs
discovered during that work.
### Feature gating
Shared signing, file sharing, and share links are proprietary server
features that require an authenticated self-hosted session. Previously
these were read directly from `config` with no awareness of connection
mode or auth state, meaning the UI could appear in SaaS/local mode or
when logged out.
- Introduce `useGroupSigningEnabled` and `useSharingEnabled` hooks with
core implementations (web behaviour unchanged) and desktop overrides
that require `selfhosted` mode + an active authenticated session
- Extract shared subscription logic into `useSelfHostedAuth` (connection
mode + auth state + config refetch)
- `QuickAccessBar` now derives all three flags from the hooks instead of
raw config
### Config timing fix
When a user logs in via the SetupWizard, the `jwt-available` event fires
a config fetch *before* the mode is switched to `selfhosted`. This meant
the config was fetched from the local bundled backend (port ~59567)
which has no knowledge of `storageGroupSigningEnabled`, causing the
group signing button to stay hidden until a full page refresh.
`useSelfHostedAuth` detects the mode transition and triggers a fresh
config fetch at the correct moment, after the self-hosted URL is active.
### Bug fixes
**`SignPopout.tsx`** — Manually setting `Content-Type:
multipart/form-data` on two `FormData` POST requests stripped the
auto-generated boundary, causing a `400 bad multipart` from the server.
Removed the explicit headers so Axios sets them correctly.
**`tauriHttpClient.ts`** — `response.json()` was called before
`response.ok` was checked. A plain-text error body from the server (e.g.
`"Cannot sign..."`) caused a `SyntaxError` that fell into the network
error catch block and was reported as `ERR_NETWORK`, hiding the real
failure. The fix checks `response.ok` first, reads error bodies as text,
and handles empty 200 bodies (returning `null` instead of throwing).
---
## Testing
### Prerequisites
- Desktop app running in self-hosted mode pointed at a local
Stirling-PDF instance (`http://localhost:8080`)
- The self-hosted instance has group signing and storage enabled in
settings
- At least two user accounts on the self-hosted instance
### 1. Feature gating — group signing button
| Step | Expected |
|---|---|
| Open the desktop app in **local mode** (no server configured) | Group
signing button absent from QuickAccessBar |
| Switch to self-hosted mode but **do not log in** | Group signing
button absent |
| Log in to the self-hosted server | Group signing button appears
without requiring a page refresh |
| Log out | Group signing button disappears immediately |
| Log back in | Group signing button reappears without a page refresh |
### 2. Feature gating — file sharing
Repeat the same steps above, verifying the share and share-link buttons
in the file manager follow the same visibility rules.
### 3. Create a signing session
1. Log in, open the group signing panel from QuickAccessBar
2. Select a PDF, add a participant, configure signature defaults and
submit
3. Verify the session is created successfully (no `400 bad multipart`
error)
### 4. Participant signing
1. As the invited participant, open the signing request from
QuickAccessBar
2. Upload or draw a signature and submit
3. Verify signing completes successfully (no `ERR_NETWORK` error)
### 5. Error surfacing
1. Attempt an action that the server rejects (e.g. sign a document with
an invalid certificate)
2. Verify the actual server error message is shown rather than a generic
network error
## Fix Playwright E2E tests and expand CI to run full suite
### Problem
The full Playwright suite was broken in two ways:
1. **`ConvertE2E.spec.ts` crashed at import time** —
`conversionEndpointDiscovery.ts` imported a React hook at the top level,
which pulled in the entire component tree. That chain eventually
required `material-symbols-icons.json` (a generated file that didn't
exist), crashing module resolution before any tests ran.
2. **CI only ran cert validation tests** — both `build.yml` and
`nightly.yml` hardcoded `src/core/tests/certValidation` as the test
path, silently ignoring everything else.
### Changes
**`ConvertE2E.spec.ts` — complete rewrite**
The old tests were useless in practice: all 9 dynamic conversion tests
were permanently skipped unless a real Spring Boot backend was running
(they called a live `/api/v1/config/endpoints-enabled` endpoint at
module load time). Replaced with 4 focused tests that use `page.route()`
mocking — no backend required, same pattern as
`CertificateValidationE2E`.
New tests cover:
- Convert button absent before a format pair is selected
- Successful PDF→PNG conversion shows a download button (mocked API
response)
- API error surfaces as an error notification
- Convert button appears and is enabled after selecting valid formats
**`conversionEndpointDiscovery.ts` — deleted**
Only existed to support the old tests. The `useConversionEndpoints`
React hook it exported was never imported anywhere else.
**`ReviewToolStep.tsx`**
Added `data-testid="download-result-button"` to the download button —
required for the happy-path test assertion.
**CI workflows (`build.yml`, `nightly.yml`)**
- Added a `Generate icons` step before Playwright runs (`node
scripts/generate-icons.js`) — the icon JSON is generated by `npm run
dev` locally but skipped by `npm ci` in CI
- Removed the `src/core/tests/certValidation` path filter so the full
suite runs
## PR: Certificate Pre-Validation for Document Signing
### Problem
When a participant uploaded a certificate to sign a document, there was
no validation at submission time. If the certificate had the wrong
password, was expired, or was incompatible with the signing algorithm,
the error only surfaced during **finalization** — potentially days
later, after all other participants had signed. At that point the
session is stuck with no way to recover.
Additionally, `buildKeystore` in the finalization service only
recognised `"P12"` as a cert type, causing a `400 Invalid certificate
type: PKCS12` error when the **owner** signed using the standard
`PKCS12` identifier.
---
### What this PR does
#### Backend — Certificate pre-validation service
Adds `CertificateSubmissionValidator`, which validates a keystore before
it is stored by:
1. Loading the keystore with the provided password (catches wrong
password / corrupt file)
2. Checking the certificate's validity dates (catches expired and
not-yet-valid certs)
3. Test-signing a blank PDF using the same `PdfSigningService` code path
as finalization (catches algorithm incompatibilities)
This runs on both the participant submission endpoint
(`WorkflowParticipantController`) and the owner signing endpoint
(`SigningSessionController`), so both flows are protected.
#### Backend — Bug fix
`SigningFinalizationService.buildKeystore` now accepts `"PKCS12"` and
`"PFX"` as aliases for `"P12"`, consistent with how the validator
already handles them. This fixes a `400` error when the owner signed
using the `PKCS12` cert type.
#### Frontend — Real-time validation feedback
`ParticipantView` gains a debounced validation call (600ms) triggered
whenever the cert file or password changes. The UI shows:
- A spinner while validating
- Green "Certificate valid until [date] · [subject name]" on success
- Red error message on failure (wrong password, expired, not yet valid)
- The submit button is disabled while validation is in flight
#### Tests — Three layers
| Layer | File | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Service unit | `CertificateSubmissionValidatorTest` | 11 tests — valid
P12/JKS, wrong password, corrupt bytes, expired, not-yet-valid, signing
failure, cert type aliases |
| Controller unit | `WorkflowParticipantValidateCertificateTest` | 4
tests — valid cert, invalid cert, missing file, invalid token |
| Controller integration | `CertificateValidationIntegrationTest` | 6
tests — real `.p12`/`.jks` files through the full controller → validator
stack |
| Frontend E2E | `CertificateValidationE2E.spec.ts` | 7 Playwright tests
— all feedback states, button behaviour, SERVER type bypass |
#### CI
- **PR**: Playwright runs on chromium when frontend files change (~2-3
min)
- **Nightly / on-demand**: All three browsers (chromium, firefox,
webkit) at 2 AM UTC, also manually triggerable via `workflow_dispatch`
Tested:
* Can sign in on saas -> can run local tools with or without credits->
can run saas only tools (if credits) -> can't run saas only tools
without credits
* Can sign in self-hosted -> can run all tools on remote if available ->
can run local when self-hosted unavailable
Clouds show on saas tools when connected
Tools are disabled when connected to self-hosted but cannot find server.
You also get banner
#cantwaitforplaywritetests
* Adds a fallback mechanism so the desktop app routes tool operations to
the local bundled backend when the user's self-hosted Stirling-PDF
server goes offline, and disables tools in the UI that aren't supported
locally.
* `selfHostedServerMonitor.ts` independently polls the self-hosted
server every 15s and exposes which tool endpoints are unavailable when
it goes offline
* `operationRouter.ts` intercepts operations destined for the
self-hosted server and reroutes them to the local bundled backend when
the monitor reports it offline
* `useSelfHostedToolAvailability.ts` feeds the offline tool set into
useToolManagement, disabling affected tools in the UI with a
selfHostedOffline reason and banner warning
- `SelfHostedOfflineBanner `is a dismissable (session-only) gray bar
shown at the top of the UI when in self-hosted mode and the server goes
offline. It shows:
PostHog is now initialized with persistence: 'memory' so no cookies are
written on first load. Consent is handled in a PostHogConsentSync
component that switches to localStorage+cookie persistence only when the
user accepts, using the official @posthog/react package (cherry-picked
from 14aaf64)

Google drive oss. Shouldn't have any effect on pr deployment.
Mainly the removal of the old integration via backend.
I have added the picker service and lazy loading of the required google
dependency scripts when the necessary environment variables have been
implemented.

* automate feature
* Moved all providers to app level to simplify homepage
* Circular dependency fixes
* You will see that now toolRegistry gets a tool config and a tool
settings object. These enable automate to run the tools using as much
static code as possible.

Component Extraction & Context Refactor - Summary
🔧 What We Did
- Extracted HomePage's 286-line monolithic component into focused parts
- Created ToolPanel (105 lines) for tool selection UI
- Created Workbench (203 lines) for view management
- Created ToolWorkflowContext (220 lines) for centralized state
- Reduced HomePage to 60 lines of provider setup
- Eliminated all prop drilling - components use contexts directly
🏆 Why This is Good
- Maintainability: Each component has single purpose, easy
debugging/development
- Architecture: Clean separation of concerns, future features easier to
add
- Code Quality: 105% more lines but organized/purposeful vs tangled
spaghetti code
