# Description of Changes
This pull request makes several updates to the repository’s CI/CD
configuration, focusing on improving workflow automation, updating Java
versions, enhancing labeling and file ownership, and cleaning up unused
files. The most significant changes involve migrating workflows and
labels to support a new `V3` branch, updating build environments to use
JDK 21, and expanding automated dependency update coverage.
**Key changes include:**
### CI/CD Workflow Updates
* Updated all GitHub Actions workflows (`build.yml`,
`PR-Demo-Comment-with-react.yml`, etc.) to use JDK 21 instead of JDK 17
for Java builds, ensuring compatibility with newer Java features and
dependencies.

* Removed the now-unused `codeql.yml-disabled` file, cleaning up
deprecated static analysis configuration.
* Added a dedicated `frontend-validation` job in `build.yml` that only
runs when frontend files change, improving CI efficiency.
* Minor workflow improvements: consistent quoting in config paths,
improved cache settings, and small cleanups in deploy scripts.

* Added new labels for `v3`, `Rust`, `Tauri`, and
`license-review-required` to improve PR categorization and review
processes.
### Dependency Automation
* Expanded `dependabot.yml` to update Gradle dependencies in all
relevant subdirectories (`/`, `/app/common`, `/app/core`,
`/app/proprietary`) and ensured all ecosystems use the `rebase-strategy:
auto` setting for more reliable PR updates.
### File Ownership and Labeling
* Enhanced `.github/config/.files.yaml` to include new scripts and
frontend-related files under the correct project and frontend
categories, and introduced license file groups for both frontend and
backend.

* Improved labeler configuration to better match new frontend and
translation file patterns, and introduced a new label group for
Tauri-related files.

information, and positioned text elements
## Testing
- `./gradlew spotlessApply` *(fails: plugin
org.springframework.boot:3.5.4 unavailable in build environment)*

# 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

* **Localization Updates**:
- Updated English (US and GB) translation files to include
Swagger-related strings
(`[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-14c707e28788a3a84ed5293ff6689be73d4bca00e155beaf090f9b37c978babbR578-R581)`,

### 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)`,

This PR restructures testing scripts and Docker configurations to use centralized compose files, introduces new Docker Compose variants with integrated frontend services, and updates related CI workflows.
Migrate test scripts to reference testing/compose files and streamline test flows with forced rebuilds and direct curl checks.
Add ultra-lite, security, and security-with-login compose files under testing/compose, each defining both backend and frontend services.
Rename and adjust frontend imports and update CI workflows to build and validate the frontend separately.
