# Description of Changes
Upgrades embedPDF from v2.5.0 to v2.6.0 and migrates from unmaintained
pdf-lib to @cantoo/pdf-lib fork. Adds defensive error handling for
malformed PDFs and improves bridge lifecycle management.
### Changes
**Dependencies**
- Upgrade all @embedpdf/* packages from ^2.5.0 to ^2.6.0
- Replace pdf-lib with @cantoo/pdf-lib (maintained fork with better
TypeScript support)
**PDF Viewer Infrastructure (attachment/bookmark fix)**
- Add useDocumentReady hook to track document lifecycle across bridges
- Implement defensive bridge cleanup to prevent stale registrations
- Fix race condition in document ready state detection by subscribing to
events before checking state
**Link Extraction (updated to cantoo/pdf-lib)**
- Add graceful error handling for PDFs with invalid catalog structures
- Extract enhanced link metadata (tooltips, colors, border styles,
highlight modes)
- Return empty results instead of throwing on malformed PDFs
- Add validation for link creation (destination page bounds, rect
dimensions, color values)
**Signature Flattening (updated to cantoo/pdf-lib)**
- Improve SVG embedding with three-tier fallback strategy (native
vector, rasterized PNG, placeholder)
- Add proper Unicode handling for PDF form tooltips via
PDFString.decodeText()
- Extract SVG utilities into cleaner strategy pattern
**Form Field Processing (updated to cantoo/pdf-lib)**
- Add support for display labels vs export values in dropdown/list
fields per PDF spec 12.7.4.4
- Implement caching for expensive field property lookups
- Add proper handling of malformed /Opt arrays

# Summary
- Adds desktop file tracking: local paths are preserved and save buttons
now work as expcted (doing Save/Save As as appropriate)
- Adds logic to track whether files are 'dirty' (they've been modified
by some tool, and not saved to disk yet).
- Improves file state UX (dirty vs saved) and close warnings
- Web behaviour should be unaffected by these changes
## Indicators
Files now have indicators in desktop mode to tell you their state.
### File up-to-date with disk

# Limitations
- It's a bit weird that we still have files stored in indexeddb in the
app, which are still loadable. We might want to change this behaviour in
the future
- Viewer's Save doesn't persist to disk. I've left that out here because
it'd need a lot of testing to make sure the logic's right with making
sure you can leave the Viewer with applying the changes to the PDF
_without_ saving to disk
- There's no current way to do Save As on a file that has already been
persisted to disk - it's only ever Save. Similarly, there's no way to
duplicate a file.

# Description of Changes
This pull request introduces several improvements and new features
across the authentication and admin data APIs, with a particular focus
on multi-factor authentication (MFA) support and better handling of user
settings. The changes include integrating MFA status into account data
responses, masking sensitive user settings in admin views, and
refactoring code to use more robust user creation methods. Additionally,
there are minor code cleanups and consistency improvements.
### Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) Integration
* Added `mfaEnabled` and `mfaRequired` fields to the `AccountData`
response, populated using the new `MfaService`, to provide clients with
MFA status information for users.

### User Settings Handling and Security
* Admin settings API now returns user settings for each user, with the
`mfaSecret` field masked to protect sensitive information. This is
achieved by fetching settings via `findByIdWithSettings` and
copying/masking the relevant field before returning.

### Refactoring and Code Consistency
* Refactored user creation in `InitialSecuritySetup` to use the
`SaveUserRequest` builder and `saveUserCore` for better maintainability
and clarity, replacing direct calls to `saveUser`.

* Standardized checks for internal team membership by comparing with
`TeamService.INTERNAL_TEAM_NAME` on the left side for consistency.

### API and DTO Changes
* Changed the login API to accept `UsernameAndPassMfa` instead of
`UsernameAndPass`, paving the way for MFA code support in authentication
requests.

* Updated import statements and controller dependencies to include new
DTOs and services related to MFA.

These updates improve security, prepare the system for MFA rollout, and
make admin and authentication APIs more robust and informative.

## Summary
- track endpoint disable reasons server-side and expose them through a
new `/api/v1/config/endpoints-availability` API that the frontend can
consume
- refresh the web UI tool management logic to cache endpoint details,
compute per-tool availability metadata, and show reason-specific
messaging (admin disabled vs missing dependency) when a tool cannot be
launched
- add the missing en-GB translations for the new unavailability labels
so the UI copy reflects the new distinction

# Description of Changes
Changes the desktop app to allow connections to self-hosted servers on
first startup. This was quite involved and hit loads of CORS issues all
through the stack, but I think it's working now. This also changes the
bundled backend to spawn on an OS-decided port rather than always
spawning on `8080`, which means that the user can have other things
running on port `8080` now and the app will still work fine. There were
quite a few places that needed to be updated to decouple the app from
explicitly using `8080` and I was originally going to split those
changes out into another PR (#4939), but I couldn't get it working
independently in the time I had, so the diff here is just going to be
complex and contian two distinct changes - sorry 🙁
# Description of Changes
TLDR:
- Introduced a user confirmation dialog for extracting ZIP files with
more than **20 files**.
- Created `useZipConfirmation` hook to handle confirmation dialog logic
and state.
- Implemented `ZipWarningModal` component to display the confirmation
dialog.
- Updated `zipFileService` to count files in ZIP and trigger
confirmation callback for large files.
- Integrated confirmation flow into `FileContext` and
`useToolResources`.
- Added translations for new ZIP warning dialog messages.
This pull request introduces a user confirmation dialog when attempting
to extract large ZIP files (**over 20 files**), improving safety and
user experience by preventing accidental extraction of very large
archives. The implementation includes a reusable confirmation modal, a
custom hook to handle dialog state and resolution, and updates to the
ZIP extraction logic to support this workflow.
**User Experience Improvements**
* Added a new localized warning dialog (`ZipWarningModal`) that prompts
users for confirmation when extracting ZIP files containing more than 20
files. This dialog displays the ZIP file name, file count, and offers
"Cancel" and "Extract" actions, with responsive layouts for desktop and
mobile
**ZIP Extraction Workflow Enhancements**
* Updated the ZIP extraction logic in `ZipFileService` to count the
number of files in a ZIP and invoke a confirmation callback if the file
count exceeds the threshold. Extraction proceeds only if the user
confirms; otherwise, the ZIP remains unextracted.
* Added a new hook (`useZipConfirmation`) to manage the confirmation
dialog’s state and provide a promise-based API for requesting user
confirmation.
**Integration with Application State**
* Integrated the confirmation workflow into `FileContext`, passing the
confirmation function into ZIP extraction calls and rendering the modal
dialog at the appropriate time.
* Updated relevant interfaces and method signatures to support the
optional confirmation callback for large ZIP extractions throughout the
codebase.
