# Description of Changes
* Improve typing of API (breaking change but unreleased, frontend also
updated in this PR)
* Add ownership concept to policies
* De-AI the comments
* Update the `task dev:saas` rule to spawn the engine as well
# Description of Changes
Various fixes and improvements I made while testing the SaaS code:
- Changes the new `.env.saas` file to live in `app/` and match the
semantics of the other `.env` files
- Adds top-level `task dev:saas` command to spawn SaaS frontend &
backend
- Deletes dead SaaS code and improves some overriding logic
- Fixes refreshing issue when coming back to the tab
- Fix the Compare tool's selection logic
- Make Compare handle error cases properly
- Fixes the location of the "Dismiss All Errors" button (was rendering
on top of the top-bar with a transparent background previously so it
looked rubbish)
- Fixes file selection in PDF Editor
## 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)
## 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
Redesign AI engine so that it autogenerates the `tool_models.py` file
from the OpenAPI spec so the Python has access to the Java API
parameters and the full list of Java tools that it can run. CI ensures
that whenever someone modifies a tool endpoint that the AI enigne tool
models get updated as well (the dev gets told to run `task
engine:tool-models`).
There's loads of advantages to having the Java be the one that actually
executes the tools, rather than the frontend as it was previously set up
to theoretically use:
- The AI gets much better descriptions of the params from the API docs
- It'll be usable headless in the future so a Java daemon could run to
execute ops on files in a folder without the need for the UI to run
- The Java already has all the logic it needs to execute the tools
- We don't need to parse the TypeScript to find the API (which is hard
because the TS wasn't designed to be computer-read to extract the API)
I've also hooked up the prototype frontend to ensure it's working
properly, and have built it in a way that all the tool names can be
translated properly, which was always an issue with previous prototypes
of this.

## 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
