Anthony StirlingandGitHub 347ae9ebbf fix many UI issues (#6569)
# 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

Frontend

All frontend commands are run from the repository root using Task:

  • task frontend:dev — start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)
  • task frontend:build — production build
  • task frontend:test — run tests
  • task frontend:test:watch — run tests in watch mode
  • task frontend:lint — run ESLint + cycle detection
  • task frontend:typecheck — run TypeScript type checking
  • task frontend:check — run typecheck + lint + test
  • task frontend:install — install npm dependencies

For desktop app development, see the Tauri section below.

Layout

frontend/ is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the PDF editor under frontend/editor/; new apps (the developer portal, etc.) will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — package.json, node_modules, .storybook/, ESLint, Prettier — lives at frontend/ so every app installs once and lints with the same config.

Environment Variables

The editor's environment variables live in committed .env files at frontend/editor/:

  • .env — used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS)
  • .env.desktop — additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode
  • .env.saas — additional vars loaded in SaaS mode

These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.

To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling editor/.env.local / editor/.env.desktop.local / editor/.env.saas.local. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.

Docker Setup

For Docker deployments and configuration, see the Docker README.

Tauri

All desktop tasks are available via Task. From the root of the repo:

Dev

task desktop:dev

This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.

Build

task desktop:build

This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.

Platform-specific dev builds are also available:

task desktop:build:dev           # No bundling
task desktop:build:dev:mac       # macOS .app bundle
task desktop:build:dev:windows   # Windows NSIS installer
task desktop:build:dev:linux     # Linux AppImage

You can also run JLink steps individually:

task desktop:jlink          # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
task desktop:jlink:jar      # Build backend JAR only
task desktop:jlink:runtime  # Create JLink custom JRE only
task desktop:jlink:clean    # Remove JLink artifacts

Clean

task desktop:clean

Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
