# 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 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
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 🙁
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

This PR migrates the login features from V1 into V2.
---
- Login via username/password
- SSO login (Google & GitHub)
-- Fixed issue where users authenticating via SSO (OAuth2/SAML2) were
identified by configurable username attributes (email,
preferred_username, etc.), causing:
- Duplicate accounts when username attributes changed
- Authentication failures when claim/NameID configuration changed
- Data redundancy from same user having multiple accounts
- Added `sso_provider_id` column to store provider's unique identifier
(OIDC sub claim / SAML2 NameID)
- Added `sso_provider` column to store provider name (e.g., "google",
"github", "saml2")
- User.java:65-69
Backend Changes:
- Updated UserRepository with findBySsoProviderAndSsoProviderId() method
(UserRepository.java:25)
- Modified UserService.processSSOPostLogin() to implement lookup
priority:
a. Find by (`ssoProvider`, `ssoProviderId`) first
b. Fallback to username for backward compatibility
c. Automatically migrate existing users by adding provider IDs
(UserService.java:64-107)
- Updated saveUserCore() to accept and store SSO provider details
(UserService.java:506-566)
OAuth2 Integration:
- CustomOAuth2UserService: Extracts OIDC sub claim and registration ID
(CustomOAuth2UserService.java:49-59)
- CustomOAuth2AuthenticationSuccessHandler: Passes provider info to
processSSOPostLogin()
(CustomOAuth2AuthenticationSuccessHandler.java:95-108)
SAML2 Integration:
- CustomSaml2AuthenticationSuccessHandler: Extracts NameID from SAML2
assertion (CustomSaml2AuthenticationSuccessHandler.java:120-133)
---
- Configurable Rate Limiting
Changes:
- Added RateLimit configuration class to ApplicationProperties.Security
(ApplicationProperties.java:314-317)
- Made reset schedule configurable: security.rate-limit.reset-schedule
(default: "0 0 0 * * MON")
- Made max requests configurable: security.rate-limit.max-requests
(default: 1000)
- Updated RateLimitResetScheduler to use @Scheduled(cron =
"${security.rate-limit.reset-schedule:0 0 0 * * MON}")
(RateLimitResetScheduler.java:16)
- Updated SecurityConfiguration.rateLimitingFilter() to use configured
value (SecurityConfiguration.java:377)
---
- Enable access without security features
Backend:
- Added /api/v1/config to permitAll endpoints
(SecurityConfiguration.java:261)
- Config endpoint already returns enableLogin status
(ConfigController.java:60)
Frontend:
- AuthProvider now checks enableLogin before attempting JWT validation
(UseSession.tsx:98-112)
- If enableLogin=false, skips authentication entirely and sets
session=null
- Landing component bypasses auth check when enableLogin=false
(Landing.tsx:42-46)
- Added createAnonymousUser() and createAnonymousSession() utilities
(springAuthClient.ts:440-464)
Closes#3046
