# Description of Changes
Fixes two distinct but related issues in the backend of the desktop app:
- Correctly shows tools as unavaialable when the backend doesn't have
the dependencies or has disabled them etc. (same as web version - this
primarily didn't work on desktop because the app spawns before the
backend is running)
- Fixes infinite re-rendering issues caused by the app polling whether
the backend is healthy or not
## Summary
- add a `PdfJsonConversionService` that serializes PDF text, fonts, and
metadata to JSON and rebuilds a PDF from the same structure
- expose REST endpoints for `/pdf/json` and `/json/pdf` conversions
using the existing convert API infrastructure
- define JSON model classes capturing document metadata, font
information, and positioned text elements
## Testing
- `./gradlew spotlessApply` *(fails: plugin
org.springframework.boot:3.5.4 unavailable in build environment)*
- `./gradlew build` *(fails: plugin org.springframework.boot:3.5.4
unavailable in build environment)*

## 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

## Testing
- `npm run typecheck:core` *(fails:

../../../assets/material-symbols-icons.json, which is not present in
this environment)*

## Summary
- propagate an `isEncrypted` flag from thumbnail generation into
processed file metadata so uploads know when a password is still present
- add queueing logic inside `FileContext` that detects encrypted
uploads, prompts the user via a new modal, and automatically runs the
Remove Password endpoint to replace the file and preserve history
- introduce a dedicated `EncryptedPdfUnlockModal` component that mirrors
existing styling and messaging for unlocking PDFs

Small bug fixes
# Description of Changes
- Adds a reusable banner component/system to the core app
- Adds banner at the top of the desktop app if Stirling isn't your
default PDF editor, with a button to make it your default
- Adds a permanent button in the settings to do it manually (in case
you've dismissed the banner)
- Simplifies the file loading logic to fix a bug where the input file
could be duplicated occasionally. Now, the TS just receives files from
one buffer, regardless of how they've been passed to the app in Rust.
## Caveats
I've only been able to get the setting of default apps working properly
on Mac. The Windows build isn't signed (yet) so we can't use the proper
API for it, so currently it just sends you to the Settings UI. I've also
not been able to test it on Linux at all.
# 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.

Updated embed PDF
Added Autozoom
Added file page size to metadata for use in calculations for autozoom,
will come in handy elsewhere.

Main Issues Fixed:
1. Tools Disabled on Initial Login (Required Page Refresh)
Problem: After successful login, all PDF tools appeared grayed
out/disabled until the user refreshed the page.
Root Cause: Race condition where tools checked endpoint availability
before JWT was stored in localStorage.
Fix:
- Implemented optimistic defaults in useEndpointConfig - assumes
endpoints are enabled when no JWT exists
- Added JWT availability event system (jwt-available event) to notify
components when authentication is ready
- Tools now remain enabled during auth initialization instead of
defaulting to disabled
2. Session Lost on Page Refresh (Immediate Logout)
Problem: Users were immediately logged out when refreshing the page,
losing their authenticated session.
Root Causes:
- Spring Security form login was redirecting API calls to /login with
302 responses instead of returning JSON
- /api/v1/auth/me endpoint was incorrectly in the permitAll list
- JWT filter wasn't allowing /api/v1/config endpoints without
authentication
Fixes:
- Backend: Disabled form login in v2/JWT mode by adding && !v2Enabled
condition to form login configuration
- Backend: Removed /api/v1/auth/me from permitAll list - it now requires
authentication
- Backend: Added /api/v1/config to public endpoints in JWT filter
- Backend: Configured proper exception handling for API endpoints to
return JSON (401) instead of HTML redirects (302)
3. Multiple Duplicate API Calls
Problem: After login, /app-config was called 5+ times,
/endpoints-enabled and /me called multiple times, causing unnecessary
network traffic.
Root Cause: Multiple React components each had their own instance of
useAppConfig and useEndpointConfig hooks, each fetching data
independently.
Fix:
- Frontend: Created singleton AppConfigContext provider to ensure only
one global config fetch
- Frontend: Added global caching to useEndpointConfig with module-level
cache variables
- Frontend: Implemented fetch deduplication with fetchCount tracking and
globalFetchedSets
- Result: Reduced API calls from 5+ to 1-2 per endpoint (2 in dev due to
React StrictMode)
Additional Improvements:
CORS Configuration
- Added flexible CORS configuration matching SaaS pattern
- Explicitly allows localhost development ports (3000, 5173, 5174, etc.)
- No hardcoded URLs in application.properties
Security Handlers Integration
- Added IP-based account locking without dependency on form login
- Preserved audit logging with @Audited annotations
Key Code Changes:
Backend Files:
- SecurityConfiguration.java - Disabled form login for v2, added CORS
config
- JwtAuthenticationFilter.java - Added /api/v1/config to public
endpoints
- JwtAuthenticationEntryPoint.java - Returns JSON for API requests
Frontend Files:
- AppConfigContext.tsx - New singleton context for app configuration
- useEndpointConfig.ts - Added global caching and deduplication
- UseSession.tsx - Removed redundant config checking
- Various hooks - Updated to use context providers instead of direct
fetching
