# 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!
## 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

# 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.
## PR: Certificate Pre-Validation for Document Signing
### Problem
When a participant uploaded a certificate to sign a document, there was
no validation at submission time. If the certificate had the wrong
password, was expired, or was incompatible with the signing algorithm,
the error only surfaced during **finalization** — potentially days
later, after all other participants had signed. At that point the
session is stuck with no way to recover.
Additionally, `buildKeystore` in the finalization service only
recognised `"P12"` as a cert type, causing a `400 Invalid certificate
type: PKCS12` error when the **owner** signed using the standard
`PKCS12` identifier.
---
### What this PR does
#### Backend — Certificate pre-validation service
Adds `CertificateSubmissionValidator`, which validates a keystore before
it is stored by:
1. Loading the keystore with the provided password (catches wrong
password / corrupt file)
2. Checking the certificate's validity dates (catches expired and
not-yet-valid certs)
3. Test-signing a blank PDF using the same `PdfSigningService` code path
as finalization (catches algorithm incompatibilities)
This runs on both the participant submission endpoint
(`WorkflowParticipantController`) and the owner signing endpoint
(`SigningSessionController`), so both flows are protected.
#### Backend — Bug fix
`SigningFinalizationService.buildKeystore` now accepts `"PKCS12"` and
`"PFX"` as aliases for `"P12"`, consistent with how the validator
already handles them. This fixes a `400` error when the owner signed
using the `PKCS12` cert type.
#### Frontend — Real-time validation feedback
`ParticipantView` gains a debounced validation call (600ms) triggered
whenever the cert file or password changes. The UI shows:
- A spinner while validating
- Green "Certificate valid until [date] · [subject name]" on success
- Red error message on failure (wrong password, expired, not yet valid)
- The submit button is disabled while validation is in flight
#### Tests — Three layers
| Layer | File | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Service unit | `CertificateSubmissionValidatorTest` | 11 tests — valid
P12/JKS, wrong password, corrupt bytes, expired, not-yet-valid, signing
failure, cert type aliases |
| Controller unit | `WorkflowParticipantValidateCertificateTest` | 4
tests — valid cert, invalid cert, missing file, invalid token |
| Controller integration | `CertificateValidationIntegrationTest` | 6
tests — real `.p12`/`.jks` files through the full controller → validator
stack |
| Frontend E2E | `CertificateValidationE2E.spec.ts` | 7 Playwright tests
— all feedback states, button behaviour, SERVER type bypass |
#### CI
- **PR**: Playwright runs on chromium when frontend files change (~2-3
min)
- **Nightly / on-demand**: All three browsers (chromium, firefox,
webkit) at 2 AM UTC, also manually triggerable via `workflow_dispatch`
# 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
> frontend@0.1.0 dev
> npm run prep && vite
> frontend@0.1.0 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
This PR performs a broad cleanup and refactor across the security, SSO,
and dependency layers to improve correctness, maintainability, and
robustness.
### What was changed
- **SSO / Authentication cleanup**
- Removed deprecated and ambiguous `SSO` authentication handling in
favor of explicit `OAUTH2` and `SAML2`.
- Introduced a centralized helper (`isSsoAuthenticationTypeByUsername`)
to consistently detect SSO-backed users.
- Hardened user creation logic to strictly validate authentication types
and reject invalid values.
- Updated OAuth2 and SAML2 authentication success handlers to use
unified SSO detection logic and clearer control flow.
- Adjusted tests to reflect the new canonical authentication types.
- **Security & robustness improvements**
- Replaced direct `new URL(...)` usage with `URI.create(...).toURL()` to
avoid malformed URL edge cases.
- Hardened `Referer` parsing logic to safely handle invalid or host-less
URIs.
- Improved string comparison patterns (`"literal".equals(x)`) to avoid
potential `NullPointerException`s.
- **Controller and API cleanup**
- Removed large blocks of unused and legacy admin settings endpoints
from `SettingsController`.
- Updated OpenAPI annotations to use `requiredMode` instead of
deprecated `required`.
- **Dependency and build maintenance**
- Updated Spring Boot from `3.5.7` to `3.5.9`.
- Updated multiple dependencies (Spring Security, Jackson, Micrometer,
Jetty, Hibernate, SnakeYAML, Springdoc, Swagger UI, etc.).
- Synced dependency versions in `3rdPartyLicenses.json` and removed
duplicate or obsolete entries.
- Modernized Gradle DSL usage (`url =`, `username =`,
`allowInsecureProtocol = true`).
- Ensured Spotless disabling applies consistently across all
subprojects.
- Added `.build-cache` to `.gitignore`.
### Why the change was made
- To eliminate legacy and ambiguous SSO handling that could lead to
incorrect authentication decisions.
- To improve security and stability when dealing with user-controlled
URLs and headers.
- To reduce technical debt by removing unused controllers and deprecated
patterns.
- To keep dependencies up to date and aligned with the current Spring
Boot release.
- To improve overall code clarity, consistency, and long-term
maintainability.
---
This pull request contains dependency updates, minor code cleanups, and
some refactoring to improve maintainability and correctness. The most
significant change is the removal of all admin settings endpoints
(GET/POST) from the `SettingsController`, which impacts how application
settings can be managed via the API. Additionally, there are dependency
version bumps, minor improvements to static resource checks, and small
refactors in certificate download logic and Telegram bot service.
**Major API changes:**
* Removed all admin settings endpoints (general, security, connections,
privacy, advanced) from `SettingsController`, including both GET and
POST handlers for updating and retrieving settings. This eliminates the
ability to manage these settings via the API.
**Dependency updates:**
* Upgraded `snakeyaml-engine` from 2.10 to 3.0.1 and
`springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui` from 2.8.14 to 2.8.15 in
`build.gradle`.
**Refactoring and bug fixes:**
* Refactored static resource check in `RequestUriUtils.isStaticResource`
to use constant-first string comparison for better null safety and
clarity.
* Updated certificate download logic in `CertificateValidationService`
to use `URI.create(urlStr).toURL()` instead of `new URL(urlStr)` for
improved URL parsing and error handling.

* Refactored `TelegramPipelineBot` to consistently use
`telegramProperties.getBotToken()` instead of `getBotToken()`, and
removed the `getBotToken()` method override.

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- **URL to PDF flow**
- Changed `ConvertWebsiteToPDF#urlToPdf` to return `ResponseEntity<?>`
and perform a redirect (`303 SEE_OTHER`) back to `/url-to-pdf` with an
`error` query param instead of throwing exceptions.
- Added alert rendering in `url-to-pdf.html` using `param.error` for
localized error display.
- Introduced new translation key `error.invalidUrlFormat` in
`messages_en_GB.properties`.
- **Security / SSRF**
- Migrated `ApplicationProperties.System.UrlSecurity.level` from
`String` to `SsrfProtectionLevel` enum.
- Default now set to `SsrfProtectionLevel.MEDIUM` (`// MAX, MEDIUM,
OFF`).
- This avoids the issue where setting `OFF` returned `false` in
configuration parsing.
- Updated `SsrfProtectionService#parseProtectionLevel` accordingly
(using `level.name()`).
- **Repo hygiene**
- Added `**/LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE/**` to `.gitignore`.
- **Why the change was made**
- Provide user-friendly, localized error messages instead of exposing
internal exceptions on URL-to-PDF conversions.
- Ensure SSRF protection level parsing is type-safe and consistent—`OFF`
can now be set without yielding a misleading `false` state.
- Prevent unwanted fontconfig cache files from being tracked in Git.

# Description of Changes
This pull request introduces several enhancements and new features,
primarily focused on improving API documentation support, expanding
backend functionality, and adding new frontend tools. Key changes
include the integration of Swagger API documentation, the addition of a
new `UIDataController` for backend data handling, and updates to the
frontend to include a Swagger UI tool.
### Backend Enhancements:
* **Swagger API Documentation Integration**:
- Added support for dynamically configuring Swagger servers using the
`SWAGGER_SERVER_URL` environment variable in `OpenApiConfig`
(`[app/core/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/OpenApiConfig.javaR54-L63](diffhunk://#diff-6080fb3dc14efc430c9de1bf9fa4996a23deebc14230dde7788949b2c49cca68R54-L63)`).
- Imported necessary Swagger dependencies
(`[app/core/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/OpenApiConfig.javaR13](diffhunk://#diff-6080fb3dc14efc430c9de1bf9fa4996a23deebc14230dde7788949b2c49cca68R13)`).
- Updated `nginx.conf` to proxy Swagger-related requests to the backend
(`[docker/frontend/nginx.confR55-R92](diffhunk://#diff-6d35fafb4405bd052c6d5e48bd946bcef7c77552a74e1b902de45e85eee09aceR55-R92)`).
* **New `UIDataController`**:
- Introduced a new controller (`UIDataController`) to serve React UI
data, including endpoints for home data, licenses, pipeline
configurations, signature data, and OCR data
(`[app/core/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/controller/api/UIDataController.javaR1-R301](diffhunk://#diff-3e7063d4e921c7b9e6eedfcad0e535ba3eff68476dcff5e6f28b00c388cff646R1-R301)`).
* **Endpoint Handling**:
- Modified `ConfigController` to include explicit parameter naming for
better clarity in API requests
(`[app/core/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/controller/api/misc/ConfigController.javaL113-R120](diffhunk://#diff-43d19d45ae547fd79090596c06d58cb0eb7f722ed43eb4da59f9dec39f6def6eL113-R120)`).
### Frontend Enhancements:
* **Swagger UI Tool**:
- Added a new tool definition (`swagger`) in `useToolManagement.tsx`,
with an icon and lazy-loaded component
(`[frontend/src/hooks/useToolManagement.tsxR30-R38](diffhunk://#diff-57f8a6b3e75ecaec10ad445b01afe8fccc376af6f8ad4d693c68cf98e8863273R30-R38)`).
- Implemented the `SwaggerUI` component to open the Swagger
documentation in a new tab
(`[frontend/src/tools/SwaggerUI.tsxR1-R18](diffhunk://#diff-ca9bdf83c5d611a5edff10255103d7939895635b33a258dd77db6571da6c4600R1-R18)`).
* **Localization Updates**:
- Updated English (US and GB) translation files to include
Swagger-related strings
(`[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-14c707e28788a3a84ed5293ff6689be73d4bca00e155beaf090f9b37c978babbR578-R581)`,
`[[2]](diffhunk://#diff-14c707e28788a3a84ed5293ff6689be73d4bca00e155beaf090f9b37c978babbR1528-R1533)`,

### Workflow Updates:
* **Environment Variable Additions**:
- Added `SWAGGER_SERVER_URL` to the `PR-Auto-Deploy-V2.yml` and
`deploy-on-v2-commit.yml` workflows for configuring Swagger server URLs
(`[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-931fcb06ba030420d7044dde06465ad55b4e769a9bd374dcd6a0c76f79a5e30eR320)`,

# Description of Changes
# Introduce Recommended VS Code Extensions for Development
## Summary
This PR introduces a curated list of recommended Visual Studio Code
extensions to enhance the development workflow for Python, Java, and
Spring Boot projects. These extensions provide essential features such
as code formatting, linting, debugging, dependency management, and
remote development support.
## Motivation
Setting up a consistent development environment can be challenging,
especially when working in a team. By providing a predefined list of VS
Code extensions, we ensure that all developers have access to the
necessary tools for an efficient and streamlined workflow. This helps
maintain code quality, improves productivity, and reduces configuration
overhead.
## Benefits
- **Improved Code Quality**: Extensions like `black-formatter`,
`flake8`, and `checkstyle` enforce best coding practices.
- **Enhanced Debugging and Development**: Java and Python-specific
extensions provide powerful debugging, IntelliSense, and dependency
management capabilities.
- **Spring Boot Support**: Tools like `vscode-spring-boot-dashboard` and
`vscode-spring-initializr` streamline Spring Boot application
development.
- **Remote Development Capabilities**: Extensions like
`remote-containers` and `remote-extensionpack` enable seamless
development in containerized and remote environments.
- **Consistency Across Team Members**: Ensures a unified development
experience across all contributors, reducing the time spent on setup and
troubleshooting.
## Changes Introduced
- Added a `.vscode/extensions.json` file containing a list of
recommended VS Code extensions.
- The list includes extensions for:
- Python development (formatting, linting, debugging)
- Java development (code formatting, debugging, dependency management,
Gradle)
- Spring Boot development (Spring Boot dashboard, Spring Initializr,
etc.)
- Remote development support (Containers, SSH, WSL)
- Code spell checking and pre-commit hook management
## How to Use
1. Open VS Code.
2. When prompted, install the recommended extensions.
3. Alternatively, open the command palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P` or `Cmd +
Shift + P` on macOS) and run:
```sh
Extensions: Show Recommended Extensions
```
4. Install the required extensions from the list.
## Next Steps
- Developers should install the recommended extensions to take full
advantage of the improvements.
- Optionally, update the list in `.vscode/extensions.json` if new
extensions are required in the future.
