# Description of Changes
Adds all the missing translations that I could find (they're all dynamic
ones that the existing test can't detect are required) and adds a new
test to find as many unused translations as possible. The test has an
ignore list for translations that are used, but dynamically so the test
can't find them (most of the settings UI translations are built up
dynamically like that).
This PR is scoped to just include en-GB translation changes, since
that's the main supported language. We'll need to do a translation PR to
trim all the dead keys from the other languages, and add the missing
ones.
# Description of Changes
Disallow warnings and errors from being thrown in the browser console
during tests unless explicitly expected in the test. Also adds a
Playwright test to prod around some main UI areas and checks that no
warnings/errors have been thrown.
# Description of Changes
The changes in
[#6279](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/6279) broke
the desktop app because the wasm URL handling didn't deal with
`tauri://` paths. Also I noticed that `task desktop:build:dev:mac`
failed locally because it was attempting to sign the app with
credentials that developers won't have (and shouldn't need), so I fixed
that too.
# Description of Changes
Add a backend for running any multi-step PDF operations. This is
designed to be used for the upcoming Policies feature, along with
anything else that will require automated running of PDF operations,
like the Automate tool or Processing Folders.
The implementation is not complete. I've tried to get all the
infrastructure in there so that we can add in whichever triggers we need
in the future (like cron triggers or watching folders on disk) but
currently it just supports manual triggering of the policy.
The basis of this work was the operation running from the Stirling
Engine, which this PR removes in favour of this new system. The only
currently accessible frontend way to test this work is to ask the AI
chat to execute multiple operations on a PDF, but I've also extensively
tested with direct API calls to make sure that the policies work and
persist properly.
# Description of Changes
Reconfigure linting of `any` type to an opt-out instead of an opt-in
strategy now that we're close enough to everything supporting it. Also
slightly expands the scope of things included in the linting.
# Description of Changes
[#6474](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/6474)
updated the IndexedDB schema number to v9, but a couple of Playwright
tests were explicitly creating a DB in v4 schema, which then caused
inconsistently failing tests because the DB upgrade process is
asynchronous and sometimes was too slow to upgrade, causing the test to
get into an invalid state.
Also fixes the screenshots directory exclusion since the frontend folder
was restructured.
# Description of Changes
`mockServiceWorker.js` is a third-party managed file, which is included
in our `.prettierignore` file, and is rewritten to be in the module's
standard format whenever `msw` runs. At some point, it was reformatted
in our style, but shouldn't have been. This puts it back to `msw`'s
style, which should make it stop appearing in diffs.
# Description of Changes
Currently, it's not possible to develop the backend on Mac without
manually signing the JPDFium binaries yourself since macOS will reject
running the unsigned binaries. [We've now updated JPDFium to sign the
Mac binaries in
v1.0.2](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/JPDFium/releases/tag/v1.0.2),
so update to use that version.
# Description of Changes
Change Stirling Engine to support deleting documents automatically. This
happens both on user logout and after an amount of time specified by the
Java when ingesting a document (allowing for personal documents to have
short lifetimes but org documents to be left in the db with no expiry
date). Also sets up an [ACL
policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access-control_list) for the
documents so the database knows which users have access to which
documents. This is not fully implemented in the Java, so currently all
docs are treated as having a single owner, the uploader, but
theoretically when we need to support org storage, we shouldn't need to
change the db schema.
# Description of Changes
Make zoom key command behave the same regardless of mouse position.
Previously only zoomed the editor if the mouse was over the editor.
# Description of Changes
The production SaaS is currently on v8 of IndexedDB due to various
schema changes for Smart Folders, which haven't made their way into OSS.
OSS is currently on v4 of IndexedDB, so if we release an OSS build to
the SaaS deployment, existing users will not be able to use it because
the DB version is 'too old'.
This PR updates the IDB version number to v9 so both OSS and SaaS users
will be able to upgrade to it. Theoretically both types of user should
be able to keep their IDB files without issue. SaaS previously actively
wiped the user's files in an old version (v6/v7) and users who haven't
used it since then will have their DBs wiped, but that'd happen anyway
if they use current SaaS so I don't think that matters.
# Description of Changes
Main fixes:
- Fix the display of the username in the bottom left
- Now displays as "User" when not logged in on self-hosted (desktop) and
"Guest" on SaaS when logged in anonymously
- Now updates properly when the user logs in/out in SaaS, desktop and
self-hosted
- Fix incremental build issues in the desktop app that have been here
since the start (I hope at least - I think the issue is that the JLink
is built read-only and then on subsequent builds you get OS errors when
trying to override the JLink with the new version. There's no real need
for it to be read-only that I know of, so we might as well just make it
R/W and ship like that)
# Description of Changes
Set CI backend & engine comments to auto-delete once the CI has passed.
Also redesign the engine CI to call `task engine:check` like it should
have been, and make it post a comment when the tool models need to be
updated.
Also makes the comment wording more consistent between the three
languages.
# Description of Changes
#6402 introduced a Rust test `refresh_token_fallback.rs`, but it wasn't
moved properly after the restructure of the `frontend/` folder in #6404.
This PR moves the file to the right place, and also hooks up Task and CI
rules for `cargo test` since nothing was actually running the test in
the first place.
# 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
# Description of Changes
Adds a cancel button to the AI chat to allow the user to abort
long-running AI tasks. Just disconnects the SSE stream (all the backend
code already interrupts when it notices the stream is dead).
# Description of Changes
Give Edit Agent access to descriptions of the request from the Java API.
This opens the door to us better documenting our Java APIs to give the
stirling engine better knowledge of what the various tools are and how
to use them.
Also improves the tool selection sub-agent to get the tool parameters
and descriptions so it can more intelligently decide which operations
should be used to fulfil the user's request. Also provides it more
encouragement to string together multiple operations if necessary.
# Description of Changes
Adds storage in the database for full document content alongside the RAG
content (and changes the service to `DocumentService` instead of
`RagService`). Then adds a generic capability that should be usable by
any agent (currently just used by the Question Agent) which allows the
agent to pull out the full contents of the doc, chunks it into various
sections that will fit in the context window, and then processes them in
parallel to create an intermediate result, and then processes the
intermediate result into a final answer. It will re-chunk as many times
as necessary to get the content small enough for the actual answer to be
analysed (I've tested on PDFs ~3500 pages long, which is well above the
context limit and requires maybe 3 rounds of compression to get an
answer).
The new full doc analysis stuff is heavier than the RAG lookup so both
remain. The agents should use RAG for targeted info and the chunked
reasoner for info that requires reading the full doc.
# Description of Changes
#6312 reformatted `tauri.conf.json` via the Gradle script, which
reformats the entire file to not match the Prettier style. This PR
reformats the file back to Prettier format and changes the script to
update the version number without reformatting the entire file.
To be honest I'm not a huge fan of updating the version number with
regexes but it'd be a fool's errand to try and get Gradle to output JSON
in Prettier format, and this seems simpler than shelling out to run
Prettier over the file after the version string has been updated. Any
better ideas, let me know.
# Description of Changes
Hooks up the (alpha) PDF Editor backend to the AI engine Edit Agent via
an intermediary API which is easier for the agent to call. It suffers
from all the same issues that the PDF Editor does in actually editing
the text, but should also benefit from any fixes to that.
It also adds protection against the underlying tools misbehaving by
hanging, and fixes a hanging bug in the PDF Editor.

# Description of Changes
Save indicator stopped showing up after #6050, which fixed the missing
truncation on filenames, but accidentally bypassed the save indicator
component at the same time. This PR puts the component back in and makes
it support truncation so we can have both.

# Description of Changes
Vite currently warns that when it's bundling our code that the chunk
size is way too high because most of the imports are static so it can't
split them into smaller chunks. This PR changes a few key areas to use
lazy imports to try and make the chunks as small as possible with
minimal code changes.
Vite's warnings kick in at minified chunks being >500kB, and we've got a
little way to go still to reach that, but we can keep chipping away at
this and I'd rather get the biggest wins done now. I've also included
Lighthouse scores because there's been discussion about improving ours
recently. It's not the aim of this PR to improve it, but it's nice that
it makes it a little better.
## Current main chunks
Build split into 12 chunks. Largest chunk in build is:
```

# Description of Changes
Have the Java send a list of enabled endpoints to the AI engine so it
can intelligently respond to the user that the tool does exist but is
disabled on the server so it can't acutally run the operation, instead
of the current behaviour where it sends the API call back and then 503
errors because the execution fails when the URL is disabled.

# Description of Changes
Flesh out the RAG system and connect it to the PDF Question Agent so it
can respond to questions about PDFs of an extremely large size.
I'd expect lots more work will need to be done to finish off the RAG
system to really be what we need, but this should be a reasonable start
which will let us connect it to tools and have the ingestion mostly
handled automatically. I'm leaving file deletion and proper file ID
management to be done in a future PR. We also need to consider whether
all tools should retrieve content exclusively via RAG, or whether it's
beneficial to have tools sometimes fetch the direct content and other
times fetch it from RAG.

# Description of Changes
Adds the ability for the Edit agent to request the content of the
document before it decides which parameters it needs. This makes it able
to process requests like `Split the document after the page containing
the "My Section" section`, allowing for document context-based requests
for all[^1] tools.
I had to make a few changes elsewhere to make this work, including:
- Moving the requesting of content out of the Question Agent and into a
common location
- Added specific API docs for the Split param because the generic ones
were not specific enough for the AI to be able to reliably perform the
correct operation
- Fixed an issue in the tool models generator which caused the Redact
params to only be half-generated (causing Pydantic to crash when the AI
tried to run Redact)
- Added missing logging to a bunch of tools and hooked it up properly so
it'll print to stderr
- Made the limits for the max pages/chars to extract from PDFs
configurable via env var
[^1]: Many of the tools can't actually do anything useful with the
context at this stage, but will just need the tool API to be extended
with new features like page-specific operations to be automatically able
to do smart operations without needing to change the Edit agent itself.
# Description of Changes
We keep adding stuff to `engine/config/.env.example` and have to
manually update `.env` because of it, which is really clunky, especially
when working on multiple worktrees at once. This PR changes it so that
we just have a committed `.env` file and have an `.env.local` override
to put the actual private keys into, which should make it a bit easier
to manage.
> [!warning]
>
> After this goes in, be very careful for a little while not to
accidentally commit any keys that you've got inside your `.env` file!
# Description of Changes
Add an extra parameter to every agent to receive the conversation
history in addition to the current message. This will make it possible
to answer followup questions from the AI without needing to give full
context in your message.
# 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.

# Description of Changes
Follow on from #5949, expanding any type usage ban to the `desktop/`
folder
Also gets rid of a bunch of really verbose desktop logging that I don't
think we really need anymore (or ever needed tbh, most of it doesn't
make sense) because it was using a bunch of `any` typing and wasn't
worth fixing.
# Description of Changes
When I added Prettier formatting in #6052, my aim was to use just the
default settings in Prettier. Turns out, Prettier looks _really hard_
for any config files if it's not explicitly given one, which means that
if a developer has some sort of Prettier config file lying around on
their system, Prettier might find it and use it. Also, Prettier changes
its defaults based on stuff in `.editorconfig` without any good way of
disabling that behaviour explicitly in its config file.
To solve both of these issues, I've introduced a `.prettierrc` file
which sets Prettier's defaults explicitly, and then reformatted all our
code _again_ in Prettier's actual default settings. This should achieve
the aim of #6052 and remove the possibility for it breaking on different
dev computers.
# Description of Changes
Adds a streaming endpoint to the Java AI orchestrator
(`/api/v1/ai/orchestrate/stream` in addition to the existing
`/api/v1/ai/orchestrate`). This allows the caller to get updates of what
stage of orchestration is being run at the time so UIs can give the user
feedback.
Also contains some dubious Gradle changes to suppress errors coming from
Spotless, when it crashes in Google stuff. I'm not sure if that's
appropriate to add, feel free to ask for changes in review.
# Description of Changes
Changes the strategy for autoformatting to reject PRs if they are not
formatted correctly instead of allowing them to merge and then spawning
a new PR to fix the formatting. The old strategy just caused more work
for us because we'd have to manually approve the followup PR and get it
merged, which required 2 reviewers so in practice it rarely got done and
just meant everyone's PRs ended up containing reformatting for unrelated
files, which makes code review unnecessarily difficult. If the PR's code
is not formatted correctly after this PR, a comment will be added
automatically to tell the author how to run the formatter script to fix
their code so it can go in.
This also enables autoformatting for the frontend code, using Prettier.
I've enabled it for pretty much everything in the frontend folder, other
than 3rd party files and files it doesn't make sense for. I also
excluded Markdown because it sounds likely to be more annoying to have
to autoformat the Markdown in the frontend folder but nowhere else. Open
to changing this though if people disagree.
> [!note]
>
> Advice to reviewers: The first commit contains all of the actual logic
I've introduced (CI changes, Prettier config, etc.)
> The second commit is just the reformatting of the entire frontend
folder.
> The first commit needs proper review, the second one just give it a
spot-check that it's doing what you'd expect.
# Description of Changes
Add prototypes folder to test new functionality in. This build of the
app is spawnable with `npm run dev:prototypes`.
Currently just contains a very developer-y chat interface to help us
develop & explore the AI backend before we make the frontend for it for
real.
# Description of Changes
Add Java orchestration layer which can connect and go back and forth
with the AI engine to get results for the user. It's expected that the
AI engine will not be publicly available and this Java layer will always
be in front of it, to manage sessions and auth etc.
# Description of Changes
Adds an eslint rule to disallow importing any Tauri APIs outside the
desktop folder to help hint to developers that they should be following
the frontend architecture.
While doing this, I also discovered that you can provide a custom
message in the `no-restricted-imports` rule, which is nicer than the
comments that I'd previously added to the eslint config file to explain
why they weren't allowed:
```text
/Users/jamesbrunton/Dev/spdf1/frontend/src/core/components/shared/config/configSections/GeneralSection.tsx
19:1 error 'src/core/contexts/PreferencesContext' import is restricted from being used by a pattern. Use @app/* imports instead of absolute src/ imports no-restricted-imports
20:1 error '../../../../../core/contexts/AppConfigContext' import is restricted from being used by a pattern. Use @app/* imports instead of relative imports no-restricted-imports
21:1 error '@tauri-apps/core' import is restricted from being used by a pattern. Tauri APIs are desktop-only. Review frontend/DeveloperGuide.md for structure advice no-restricted-imports
```
# Description of Changes
Redesign the Python AI engine to be properly agentic and make use of
`pydantic-ai` instead of `langchain` for correctness and ergonomics.
This should be a good foundation for us to build our AI engine on going
forwards.
# Description of Changes
Currently, cmd-r is set to rotate the PDF in the viewer instead of
perform refresh in the browser. This is unintuitive and confusing for
Mac users, and for Windows users (who are less used to doing ctrl-r for
refresh) it only works some of the time, if the Viewer is active, so
removing the override is no great loss.
# Description of Changes
Add frontend developer guide describing the path alias architecture.
There's probably more needed in here which we should flesh out over
time, but this is a start.
# Description of Changes
Ages ago I made #4835 to try and fix all the `any` type usage in the
system but never got it finished, and there were just too many to review
and ensure it still worked. There's even more now.
My new tactic is to fix folder by folder. This fixes the `any` typing in
the `saas/` folder, and also enables `no-unnecessary-type-assertion`,
which really helps reduce pointless `as` casts that AI generates when
the type is already known. I hope to expand both of these to the rest of
the folders soon, but one folder is better than none.
# Description of Changes
Fix#5164
As I mentioned on the bug
https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/issues/5164#issuecomment-4045170827,
it's impossible to print on Mac currently because
`iframe.contentWindow?.print()` silently does nothing in Tauri on Mac,
but [it seems unlikely that this will be
fixed](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/13451#issuecomment-4048075861).
Instead, I've linked directly to the Mac `PDFKit` framework in Rust to
use its printing functionality instead of Safari's. I believe that
`PDFKit` is what `Preview.app` is using and the print UI that it
generates seems to perform identically, so this should solve the issue
on Mac. Hopefully one day the TS iframe print API will be fixed and
we'll be able to get rid of this code, or [there'll be an official Tauri
plugin for printing which we can use
instead](https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace/issues/293).
This implementation should be entirely Mac-specific. Windows & Linux
will continue to use their TS printing (which comes from EmbedPDF)
unless we have a good reason to change them to use a native solution as
well.
# Description of Changes
Previously, `VITE_*` environment variables were scattered across the
codebase with hardcoded fallback values inline (e.g.
`import.meta.env.VITE_STRIPE_KEY || 'pk_live_...'`). This made it
unclear which variables
were required, what they were for, and caused real keys to be silently
used in builds where they hadn't been explicitly configured.
## What's changed
I've added `frontend/.env.example` and `frontend/.env.desktop.example`,
which declare every `VITE_*` variable the app uses, with comments
explaining each one and sensible defaults where applicable. These
are the source of truth for what's required.
I've added a setup script which runs before `npm run dev`, `build`,
`tauri-dev`, and all `tauri-build*` commands. It:
- Creates your local `.env` / `.env.desktop` from the example files on
first run, so you don't need to do anything manually
- Errors if you're missing keys that the example defines (e.g. after
pulling changes that added a new variable). These can either be
manually-set env vars, or in your `.env` file (env vars take precedence
over `.env` file vars when running)
- Warns if you have `VITE_*` variables set in your environment that
aren't listed in any example file
I've removed all `|| 'hardcoded-value'` defaults from source files
because they are not necessary in this system, as all variables must be
explicitly set (they can be set to `VITE_ENV_VAR=`, just as long as the
variable actually exists). I think this system will make it really
obvious exactly what you need to set and what's actually running in the
code.
I've added a test that checks that every `import.meta.env.VITE_*`
reference found in source is present in at least one example file, so
new variables can't be added without being documented.
## For contributors
New contributors shouldn't need to do anything - `npm run dev` will
create your `.env` automatically.
If you already have a `.env` file in the `frontend/` folder, you may
well need to update it to make the system happy. Here's an example
output from running `npm run dev` with an old `.env` file:
```
$ npm run dev
> [email protected] dev
> npm run prep && vite
> [email protected] prep
> tsx scripts/setup-env.ts && npm run generate-icons
setup-env: see frontend/README.md#environment-variables for documentation
setup-env: .env is missing keys from config/.env.example:
VITE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID
VITE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_API_KEY
VITE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_APP_ID
VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY
VITE_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST
Add them manually or delete your local file to re-copy from the example.
setup-env: the following VITE_ vars are set but not listed in any example file:
VITE_DEV_BYPASS_AUTH
Add them to config/.env.example or config/.env.desktop.example if they are required.
```
If you add a new `VITE_*` variable to the codebase, add it to the
appropriate `frontend/config/.env.example` file or the test will fail.
# Description of Changes
Inspired by https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/pull/4169, this PR
moves our `CLAUDE.md` advice to the more generic `AGENTS.md` file (which
works on Codex, Gemini, etc). It also adds a symlink from `CLAUDE.md` to
`AGENTS.md`, which Claude follows properly, so all AIs should get the
same advice and we only need to keep one file up-to-date.
# Description of Changes
Adds the code for the SaaS frontend as proprietary code to the OSS repo.
This version of the code is adapted from 22/1/2026, which was the last
SaaS version based on the 'V2' design. This will move us closer to being
able to have the OSS products understand whether the user has a SaaS
account, and provide the correct UI in those cases.
# Description of Changes
Fix#5779. Cookie consent persistance doesn't work on desktop (on Mac at
least, not sure about Windows) because of permission differences with
Tauri. We are allowed to store things in local storage fine, so this
switches the cookie consent module to store in local storage for
desktop, and leaves it alone for web, where it already worked correctly.
# Description of Changes
Change the SAML support for SSO to understand when a request is coming
from the desktop app, and use the alternate auth flow that the desktop
app requires.
# Description of Changes
This PR fixes false-positive TypeScript errors in our layered build
setup (core → proprietary → desktop) by ensuring each build’s typecheck
only evaluates files that are actually part of that build’s reachable
module graph. This prevents overridden core implementations from being
typechecked in higher-layer builds where they are effectively
unreachable due to alias-based overrides.
## Background
We maintain multiple build targets from a layered source tree:
- core: open source baseline
- proprietary: core + proprietary additions/overrides
- desktop: proprietary + desktop-specific additions/overrides
We implement overrides via paths/aliases such that placing a file in a
higher layer at the same relative path supersedes the lower-layer file
at runtime.
For safety, we run TypeScript typechecking independently per build
target to ensure all builds remain valid.
## Problem
Our existing tsconfig setup often typechecked files that are not
actually reachable in a given build. Specifically:
- When a file in core is overridden by a file in proprietary or desktop,
the overridden core file can still be included in the TypeScript Program
for the higher-layer build (typically due to broad include globs).
- This produces false-positive type errors in higher-layer typecheck
runs, even though those core files are effectively unreachable in the
build.
This created friction and noise, and meant we had to make unnecessary
changes to `core` to make the other builds happy, reducing type safety
in the process.
## Solution
This PR adjusts the tsconfig strategy so each build target's typecheck
is driven by reachable entrypoints rather than blanket inclusion of all
layer source trees. Concretely:
- Each build’s tsconfig now includes only:
- that build’s entrypoints and layer sources that are intended to be
compiled for the target
- any shared/top-level sources required by the target
- Lower layers (e.g., core) are not globally included in higher-layer
builds; they are instead pulled in through module resolution only when
actually referenced (with paths ordering ensuring the correct override
wins).
- This means that we still check all the files that will actually be run
with whatever the overridden logic is, but avoid wasting time and
introducing false-positives by not checking files which have been
overridden.
## Notes
Unfortunately, the config we use for the type checking can't be the same
as the one we use for Vite in this strategy. Vite needs to know about
the entire source tree, so it can't only include the subfolders because
it causes build errors. Because of this, I've duplicated the existing
(valid) tsconfig files and use them for Vite. This is a little clunky
but it does the job. Some day hopefully I'll come back to it and be able
to figure out a nicer way to do it, but for now at least, this solves
the type checking issues without impacting the runtime builds.
Also, I noticed that `@desktop` is defined as an alias, which was
presumably missed when I was removing the self-aliases from the files. I
don't see why you'd ever need to have a desktop file reference
`@desktop` to say "import this but make it impossible for something else
to override the import". I've removed the `@desktop` alias in this PR
while I was in there.

# Description of Changes
PDF editor has been impossible to access since #5169. This fixes the bug
introduced in that which made it impossible to access. The main issue
was the refactor removed the `setLeftPanelView` call.
# Description of Changes
Currently when applying stamps, the preview of the PDF is not being
treated as private content. This correctly marks the content as private
# Description of Changes
Fix#5206
Required splitting out the logic for the text with font entry so that
the labels are configurable from the call-site instead of all using the
same ones for Sign.
# Description of Changes
Fix#5189.
Fix Mac app not being able to open files with spaces in their name,
which was happening because the URL was not being decoded on input.
# Description of Changes
Currently, the Quick Access Bar only renders well in Chrome. It's got
all sorts of layout issues in Firefox and Safari. This PR attempts to
retain the recent changes to make the bar thinner etc. but make it work
better in all browsers.
# Description of Changes
Add lite mode for CI which just runs the most important jobs for
deployment. This won't be used in this repo, but allows other repos
containing Stirling to easily disable jobs like desktop builds etc. if
they're unnecessary, without needing to deal with conflicts in the
files. They'll just need to set the repo variable `CI_PROFILE` to
`lite`. We have an upstream repo that we'd like these changes for.
# Description of Changes
- Add new skeleton loader style type (block - nothing's currently using
it but it might as well be available)
- Make Dev API overridable (and set to the new docs that actually work
while Swagger docs don't work properly)
# Description of Changes
Start bundled backend instantly on startup of app and don't wait on it
being fully up to spawn app. This is techincally wasteful curently on
self-hosted mode where everything runs remotely, but in the future we'll
probably route simple operations to the local machine regardless of
connection, and it stops unnecessary waiting in the offline mode.
# Description of Changes
Fix#5017
Changes the handling of jwt tokens to be stored in local storage as well
as OS keyring so the rest of the app knows that you're logged in.
# Description of Changes
In the 2.0.0 release version, the frontend can't connect to the backend
on my machine because all the network requests 403. I think this is
because of CORS issues, and supposedly these will be fixed by using a
different Spring function, which is more lenient on URL schemes (needs
to allow `tauri://localhost` here, which isn't a standard URL)
# 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
# Description of Changes
- ~Force classic logo~
- Refer to email instead of username in SaaS sign in flow
- Allow drag-and-drop files into desktop app
- Convert terminology & icons from upload/download to open/save in
desktop version
# Description of Changes
Makes the desktop options to sign in with your Stirling account, or sign
into self-hosted:
<img width="608" height="456" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a49988ab-db3f-4333-b242-790aee5c07c6"
/>
The first option still runs everything locally, just enforces that
you've signed in for now. Future work will enable sending operations
that can't be run locally to the server.
# 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
The onboarding tour wasn't presenting itself as having any dependencies
to React so would never be re-rendered after language changes.
# 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
Re-enable macOS signing and tweak so it runs successfully through CI.
Also changes the runner to use macOS 15 instead of 13, which was
throwing a deprecation warning in GitHub. Note that the runner doesn't
affect the minimum target, which I've still got set to 10.15 (no idea if
it actually works on 10.15 but let's assume that if it builds it works
until someone can test it)
# Description of Changes
Locking to just having one instance of the app running unifies the
experience across all OSs. Opening new files in Stirling will cause the
files to be opened in the existing window rather than spawning a new
instance of the app with just that file in the new instance.
There's much more to explore here to allow multiple windows open at
once, but that can be done all from one instance of the app, and will
likely make it easier to allow movement of files etc. across different
windows.
Also fixes extra newlines in the logs and directly builds to `.app` on
Mac because it's frustrating during development to have to repeatedly
mount & unmount the `.dmg`.
# Description of Changes
Fix warnings in Rust code on Mac. They were all being caused by file
handling logic which is now built into Tauri, so I've just been able to
remove all of the Mac specific file handling code.
I've also set warnings to be treated as errors because it'll be really
easy to accidentally introudce warnings on individual platforms which
I'm not developing, and I'd like to know about them so we can fix it
before getting dodgy code.
# Description of Changes
`i18next` allows this pattern for translations, which we use quite a few
times in our current translation files:
```json
{
"a": {
"b": "hello"
},
"a.b": "world"
}
```
This makes it ambiguous when selecting `a.b` which string will be
retrieved. We have seen issues in other languages in the current release
like this:
<img width="325" height="249" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f24a29f0-550f-49b8-b355-c5e5eb436558"
/>
because we are expecting this:
<img width="1022" height="210" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b6d5cdd4-96cd-4b2b-8f1a-465da8bf70c8"
/>
but the Spanish file has:
<img width="312" height="136" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e13392c-8484-47d1-b0c4-19d52b3ea5eb"
/>
and no `removeDigitalSignature` key on its own.
This PR resolves all of these ambiguities in the source by restructuring
all of the keys to uniquely target either an object or a string, not
both. It also adds a test which will fail on any keys with a `.` in
their name, therefore making it impossible to add anything ambiguous.
# Description of Changes
Remove path aliases from self folder (e.g. remove `@core` from
`tsconfig.core.json`). It's not necessary and using it means that it's
impossible for the other folders to override the behaviour. The only
reason we should currently be using `@core` is in `proprietary` where we
need to explicitly import the `core` version of the thing we're
overriding so that we can re-expose or use the objects.
