Adds an optional MCP server (proprietary module) that exposes Stirling's
PDF operations and AI capabilities to MCP clients. Off by default, zero
footprint when disabled.
### What
- New `/mcp` endpoint: streamable-HTTP + JSON-RPC 2.0; 8 tools
(describe_operation, pages/convert/misc/security category tools, AI,
upload, download).
- Runs real operations over an internal loopback; results returned
inline as base64 (small) or by fileId (large).
### Auth (two modes)
- OAuth2 resource server: RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, RFC 8707
audience binding, JWKS, `mcp.tools.read/write` scopes; binds each token
to a provisioned Stirling account.
- API-key mode: reuses Stirling per-user `X-API-KEY` (no IdP needed).
### Security
- Per-user file ownership in FileStorage: async/queued writes scoped to
the submitting user; legacy/owner-less files stay readable.
- Admin allow/block list controls which operations are exposed.
- Python engine gated behind a shared secret (`X-Engine-Auth`).
- MCP filter chain is isolated and cannot weaken the main app's
security.
- Hardened: no upstream error-body leakage, log injection sanitized,
fileId path/sidecar enumeration blocked.
### Config / footprint
- Disabled by default (`mcp.enabled=false`); all beans
`@ConditionalOnProperty`.

# Description of Changes
- Tool action button truncation - fixed by allowing Mantine <Button>
label to wrap (whiteSpace: normal, height: auto) instead of clipping
- Role badge truncation on People page - fixed by dropping the column's
fixed w={100} and letting the badge size to its content
- Settings nav item wraps to 3 lines - fixed by hiding the inline ALPHA
badge by default and revealing it on :hover/:focus-within/.active
- Zoom slider cramped on narrow desktop - fixed by removing the
toolbar's hardcoded minWidth: 30rem and giving the slider flexShrink: 0
+ minWidth: 6rem
- "Swipe left or right" hint on desktop - fixed by adding a useIsTouch()
hook (pointer: coarse) and gating the hint on isMobile && isTouch
- Logout doesn't redirect - fixed by replacing navigate('/login') with
window.location.assign('/login') in a finally block so auth context
fully re-bootstraps
- Viewer top toolbar clips icons on mobile - fixed by switching the
wrapped state to justify-content: flex-start + overflow-x: auto so the
icon strip is momentum-scrollable
- Mobile bottom toolbar overflows - fixed by gating layout on
useIsPhone() and reducing the inline bar to prev / page / next / ⋮ only
- Lost controls when shrinking mobile toolbar - fixed by adding a
Mantine <Menu> behind ⋮ that groups First/Last page, Zoom in/out (with
%), Dual-page, Dark/Sepia filter under Page navigation / Zoom / View
labels
- "Upload from computer" label clipped on hover - fixed by unmounting
the Add Files button entirely while Upload is hovered, so Upload claims
width: 100%
- Settings rows clip controls off-screen - fixed by adding flex: 1,
minWidth: 0 to the inner text-block <div> on 44 rows across 10 -files,
so labels shrink and wrap while controls stay anchored to the right

## Summary
Make the remaining static ENTERPRISE badges in the admin settings
clickable so they navigate the user to `/settings/adminPlan`, matching
the pattern already used by the PRO badges in Connections / Features /
General sections.
### Before
Two ENTERPRISE badges were inert text chips with no affordance:
- `AdminSecuritySection.tsx` - Audit Logging
- `AdminDatabaseSection.tsx` - Database section header
### After
Both now use the same pattern as the existing clickable PRO badges:
- `cursor: pointer`
- `onClick={() => navigate("/settings/adminPlan")}`
- `title` tooltip with the existing
`admin.settings.badge.clickToUpgrade` i18n key ("Click to view plan
details")
No new strings, no new components - just wiring up existing behavior to
the two badges that were missing it.
### Existing already-clickable badges (kept identical for reference)
- `AdminConnectionsSection.tsx:585-596` - SSO Auto Login PRO
- `AdminFeaturesSection.tsx:175-186` - Server Certificate PRO
- `AdminGeneralSection.tsx:920-931` - Custom Metadata PRO
## Summary
- Set `dragDropEnabled: false` on the Tauri window so HTML5 drag events
reach the WebView. Previously the default `true` made Tauri intercept
all drag-drop at the OS level, silently breaking in-page drag-to-reorder
(Pragmatic Drag and Drop in `FileEditorThumbnail` /
`useFileItemDragDrop`) in the desktop build. The Active Files tab
reorder, which feeds Merge ordering, was the user-visible symptom.
- Browser builds are unaffected (tauri.conf.json is desktop-only).
- The OS file-drop pipeline now flows through the existing Mantine
`Dropzone` in `FileEditor.tsx` via HTML5 events instead of the Rust
`WindowEvent::DragDrop` handler in `lib.rs:215`. Verified working.
## Test plan
- [x] Desktop: drag a thumbnail in Active Files past another - row goes
semi-transparent, order updates on drop.
- [x] Desktop: drag a PDF from File Explorer onto the window - file is
added.
- [x] Web build: drag-to-reorder still works (unchanged code path; flag
is desktop-only).
- [x] Merge tool: order set by drag in Active Files is the order used by
the merge output.
## Follow-up (not in this PR)
- `WindowEvent::DragDrop` arm in
`frontend/editor/src-tauri/src/lib.rs:215-229` is now unreachable for
window drops. The `forward_files_to_window` helper still serves the
macOS Finder "Open With" path (`RunEvent::Opened` at lib.rs:230), so
only the DragDrop arm can be deleted. Worth a small cleanup pass later.
## Summary
Audit + bulk fix of hard-coded English UI strings - `aria-label`,
`title`, `placeholder`, `label`, and raw JSX literals that bypassed i18n
entirely. Each literal now goes through `t("key", "English Default")`
from `react-i18next`, and every new key has a corresponding entry in
`en-GB/translation.toml` so translators can pick it up.
## What this fixes
Strings were rendered untranslated in every non-EN locale because they
never went through `t()` at all (not just "value not translated yet").
Affects screen-reader labels, tooltips, form placeholders, empty/loading
states, plan card content, and the entire workflow ParticipantView.
## Coverage (~143 keys / 50 files)
- **Viewer chrome** - search bar (close, clear, prev/next, "of N"
results), link/signature/redaction actions, viewer error state, zoom
labels
- **Page editor** - undo/redo/rotate/delete toolbar tooltips, empty
state, bulk selection operator chip tooltips
- **Shared primitives** - Tooltip close, InfoBanner dismiss, TextInput
clear, Toast dismiss/toggle, UpdateModal close, EditableSecretField
edit, DropdownListWithFooter search, FileCard/FileDropdownMenu actions,
EmptyFilesState + AddFileCard upload
- **Tools** - Image upload + hint, ColorControl eyedropper, sign Use
Signature, CompressSettings, OCR loading, PageLayout
margin/border/row/col placeholders, FormFill switch + save + re-scan
- **Proprietary admin** - OverviewHeader signed-in line + logout,
AdminPremiumSection moved-features list (via `<Trans>`),
AdminPlanSection no-data alert, AdminAdvancedSection temp-dir
placeholders, AdminEndpointsSection multiselect placeholders,
AdminMailSection + AdminDatabaseSection password placeholders
- **Onboarding** - MFASetupSlide QR loading + auth code label,
SecurityCheckSlide role select + options
- **ParticipantView** - entire sign-document UI (~30 strings: loading,
error, badges, headings, cert-type Select, all input labels and
placeholders, action buttons, completion + expired alerts) - file
previously imported `useTranslation` but only used `t()` for cert
validation
- **planConstants.ts refactor** - replaced `PLAN_FEATURES` /
`PLAN_HIGHLIGHTS` const exports with `usePlanFeatures()` /
`usePlanHighlights()` hooks. Service layer (`licenseService.getPlans`)
updated to accept feature/highlight maps so it stays hook-free. Callers
(`usePlans`, `CheckoutContext`) resolve the hooks at the React boundary
- **Previously catalogued offenders** - `FileSidebarFileItem`
open/close-viewer aria-labels, `quickAccessBar/ActiveToolButton` "Back
to all tools" tooltip + aria, `AppConfigModal` close button
## Notes
- One small refactor in `usePageSelectionTips.ts` was needed to resolve
a TOML key-shape conflict: the existing scalar keys
`bulkSelection.operators.{and,not,comma}` needed to become tables to
hold the new `.title` subkeys for OperatorsSection's chip tooltips. The
existing descriptions moved to `[bulkSelection.operators.descriptions]`
and the three i18n key paths in usePageSelectionTips were updated to
match.
- Viewer sidebar close buttons
(Bookmark/Layer/Thumbnail/Attachment/Comments) were on the audit list
but are NOT on main - they're added by the unmerged PR #6552
(feat/viewer-sidebar-ux). Those particular strings will need wrapping
when that PR lands.
- TOML hook (`toml-sort-fix`) ran and re-sorted the translation file.
## Test plan
- [ ] `task frontend:typecheck` passes (core + proprietary + desktop
variants)
- [ ] `task frontend:lint` passes
- [ ] Switching language to Deutsch / Русский: previously-English
`aria-label`s + tooltips + placeholders + plan card bullets now render
translated (when the locale has values) or fall back to the English
default (when it doesn't)
- [ ] Plan page bullet points in EN render unchanged
- [ ] Sign-document flow (ParticipantView) renders unchanged in EN
## Summary
## What changed
### 1. Google Drive Picker now renders above the FileManager modal
`frontend/editor/src/core/services/googleDrivePickerService.ts`
The picker is opened from inside the FileManager modal
(`Z_INDEX_FILE_MANAGER_MODAL = 1200`), but Google's Picker defaults to
z-index ~1001 - so it landed *behind* the modal that invoked it. Added
`setZIndex(Z_INDEX_OVER_FILE_MANAGER_MODAL)` to the builder.
### 2. `Z_INDEX_AUTOMATE_DROPDOWN` no longer collides with
`Z_INDEX_FILE_MANAGER_MODAL`
`frontend/editor/src/core/styles/zIndex.ts`
Both constants were `1200`. The automate dropdown only needs to sit
above the automate modal (1100), so dropped it to `1150`. This keeps
automate dropdowns above their parent modal but reliably below the file
manager scrim when the two overlap.
Confirmed callers - all are dropdowns inside automate-modal tool
settings:
- `DropdownListWithFooter.tsx`
- `AddPageNumbersAppearanceSettings.tsx`
- `AddPasswordSettings.tsx`
- `StampPositionFormattingSettings.tsx`
- and several other `*Settings.tsx` files
All keep working as intended (1150 > 1100).
### 3. Tooltip z-index honours the documented hierarchy again
`frontend/editor/src/core/components/shared/tooltip/Tooltip.module.css`
`Tooltip.tsx` sets `zIndex: Z_INDEX_OVER_FULLSCREEN_SURFACE` (1300)
inline, but the CSS module had a hardcoded `z-index: 9999` that overrode
it. Removed the stale CSS rule so tooltips render at the intended 1300
level rather than floating above almost everything.
## Summary
Regression from #6404 (Restructure/frontend editor). Two CI workflows
copy the built installers to the wrong directory, so installer artifacts
(MSI / DMG / DEB / RPM / AppImage) silently vanish:
- **`tauri-build.yml`** (PR/desktop smoke builds) - uploads zero
installer artifacts.
- **`multiOSReleases.yml`** (production releases) - the empty artifacts
are downloaded by `create-release` and fed to `action-gh-release`, so a
release would publish **only the JARs, no desktop installers**.
## Root cause
#6404 moved the Tauri project from `frontend/` to `frontend/editor/` and
updated every **absolute** path (`projectPath`, `cd`, `Get-ChildItem`)
to add the `editor/` segment - but left the **relative** copy targets
`../../../dist`. Those resolve against the (now one level deeper)
working dir after `cd ./frontend/editor/src-tauri/target`:
| | resolves to |
|---|---|
| before #6404 (`frontend/src-tauri/target`) | repo-root `dist/` ✅ |
| after #6404 (`frontend/editor/src-tauri/target`) | `frontend/dist/` ❌
(missing) |
The `cp` fails, repo-root `dist/` (from `mkdir -p ./dist`) stays empty,
and the upload finds nothing. `find -exec cp` failing is non-fatal, so
jobs still report success - that's why it went unnoticed. No release has
shipped broken yet: the last release (v2.11.0, 2026-05-19) predates
#6404 (2026-05-22).
## Fix
Copy to an absolute `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/dist` in both workflows so the
`cd` can't drift the destination again. This matches where the upload /
signature-verify steps already read from.
## Evidence (run 26574078559, all 3 OS legs)
```
cp: cannot create regular file '../../../dist/Stirling-PDF-windows-x86_64.msi': No such file or directory
##[warning]No files were found with the provided path: ./dist/*. No artifacts will be uploaded.
```
The Tauri builds themselves succeeded - only the copy/upload was broken.
## Test plan
- [ ] `tauri-build` on this PR uploads non-empty `Stirling-PDF-<name>`
artifacts on Windows/macOS/Linux.
- [ ] Next release (or a `workflow_dispatch` of multiOSReleases)
attaches MSI/DMG/DEB/RPM/AppImage to the release.
## Description
Consolidates Playwright running under cohesive Task namespaces, isolates
Playwright state from the developer's local working tree, and swaps CI's
frontend webserver from `vite` dev to `vite preview` against a pre-built
`dist/`.
### `e2e:*` namespace
Renames `.taskfiles/testing.yml` to `.taskfiles/e2e.yml` and
consolidates everything Playwright-related under one `e2e:` namespace:
- `e2e:stubbed` / `e2e:live` / `e2e:enterprise` / `e2e:cross-browser`:
project-specific runners
- `e2e:check` (no-Docker subset) and `e2e:check:all` (full)
- `e2e:oauth:up` / `:down`, `e2e:saml:up` / `:down`: symmetric lifecycle
for the keycloak compose stacks
- `e2e:install`: Playwright browser install
- `docker:test`: full Docker integration suite
The redundant `frontend:test:e2e:*` project shortcuts are removed. CI
workflows (`e2e-stubbed.yml`, `e2e-live.yml`, `build-enterprise.yml`,
`nightly.yml`) are updated to call the new task names.
### Isolated Playwright state
New `STIRLING_BASE_PATH` (and `-Dstirling.base-path=`) override in
`InstallationPathConfig` redirects the entire state tree (configs,
backups, customFiles, pipeline, logs) at startup. `task e2e:live` points
it at `.test-state/playwright/` (purged on every invocation) so the
suite never touches the developer's local DB, settings.yml or backups.
`task e2e:live` auto-spawns gradle, waits for `/api/v1/info/status` to
come up, runs Playwright, then tears down the whole backend process
tree.
### CI runs Playwright against `vite preview`
Builds the frontend up-front with `VITE_BUILD_FOR_PREVIEW=1` (forces
absolute base so deep SPA routes resolve `/assets/...`) and the
playwright `webServer` now uses `vite preview --port 5173 --strictPort`
in CI. Avoids the per-page on-demand transform cost that was blowing the
30s navigation timeout under `--workers=3` on
`all-tool-pages-load.spec.ts`. Local dev keeps `vite` dev for HMR.
### OAuth/SAML compose helpers
`start-oauth-test.sh` and `start-saml-test.sh` gain a `--license-key
<KEY>` (`-k`) flag so CI and scripted runs can skip the interactive
license prompt. `start-oauth-test.sh` also moves from `for arg in "$@"`
to a `while`-with-`shift` arg loop to support multi-arg flags
consistently with the SAML script.
### Backend gradlew unification
Drops the per-platform `cmd /c gradlew.bat` branches from `backend.yml`
and routes every gradle invocation through `bash gradlew`. Works
uniformly on Linux/macOS and Windows-with-Git-Bash.
### Compare.tsx flake fix (re-land of
[#6316](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/6316))
Piggybacks Anthony's never-merged fix from #6316. Without it,
`e2e:stubbed` continues to flake under `--workers=3` on
`compare.spec.ts`'s second-upload case via a React "Maximum update depth
exceeded" infinite loop in the Compare auto-fill effect. CI traces from
recent failed runs match exactly; 10 local runs of `compare.spec.ts`
with `CI=1 --workers=3` pass cleanly with the fix applied.

# Description of Changes
Fixes share-link navigation for SSO users. Reported on v2.9.2 with
`SSOAutoLogin: true`: clicking a `/share/<token>` link in an email
redirected the user to the home page after SSO instead of the shared
file.
## Root cause
Three compounding issues had to be fixed together; the first was the
initial symptom but the other two only surfaced during live
verification.
1. **Spring Security blocked `/share/<token>` for unauthenticated
users.** The route wasn't in `RequestUriUtils.isPublicAuthEndpoint`, so
the server 302'd straight to `/login` before React could load
`ShareLinkPage`. The share URL was lost because `NullRequestCache` is
configured and never persisted the original destination.
2. **`httpErrorHandler` full-page-redirected to `/login?from=<path>` on
any unhandled 401** (fired by `LicenseContext`, `AppConfig`, etc. during
normal ShareLinkPage mount). That *did* preserve the return path — but
**Spring Security strips query strings from `/login`** (302 to bare
`/login`), so `?from=` never reached React. Confirmed via `curl -i
http://localhost:8080/login?from=xyz` → `Location: /login`.
3. **`AuthCallback.tsx` unconditionally `navigate("/")`** after the
SAML/OAuth round-trip, discarding any intended destination.
## Fix
**Backend** — make `/share/<token>` a public SPA bootstrap, data APIs
stay protected:
- `RequestUriUtils.isPublicAuthEndpoint` — permits `^/share/[^/]+/?$`
(tight regex, single token segment only; `/share/<token>/anything` stays
protected).
- `ReactRoutingController` — dedicated `@GetMapping("/share/{token}")`
mirroring `/auth/callback`.
- `/api/v1/storage/share-links/**` remains behind Spring Security with
its existing `canAccessShareLink` check.
**Frontend** — persist the return path across full-page redirects via
`sessionStorage` (same-origin, survives the SSO round-trip):
- `httpErrorHandler.ts` — stashes current pathname to
`stirling_post_login_path` before the 401 → `/login` redirect.
- `springAuthClient.ts` — new `isSafePostLoginRedirect` /
`setPostLoginRedirectPath` / `consumePostLoginRedirectPath` helpers
(rejects protocol-relative URLs and auth-plumbing paths to guard against
open-redirect abuse).
- `Login.tsx` — on explicit user sign-in, read path from
`location.state` or `?from=` query and stash it; don't clobber an
already-stashed value.
- `AuthCallback.tsx` — consume the stashed path (single-use) and
`navigate(target)` instead of always `/`.
