This pull request introduces a new feature that allows users to extract
all embedded attachments from a PDF and download them as a ZIP archive.
The implementation includes backend support for extracting attachments,
a new API endpoint, updates to the service layer, internationalization
for UI strings, and a new web form for user interaction.
**New PDF Attachment Extraction Feature**
_Backend/API:_
* Added a new API endpoint `/api/v1/misc/extract-attachments` in
`AttachmentController` to extract all embedded attachments from a PDF
and return them as a ZIP archive. Returns an error if no attachments are
found.
* Implemented `extractAttachments` method in `AttachmentService` and its
interface to traverse embedded files in the PDF, collect them, and
package them into a ZIP. Handles unique filenames and file metadata.

# Description of Changes
This pull request adds support for converting CBR (Comic Book RAR) files
to PDF, optimizes CBZ/CBR-to-PDF conversion for e-readers using
Ghostscript, and improves file type detection and image file handling.
It introduces the `CbrUtils` and `PdfToCbrUtils` utility classes,
refactors CBZ conversion logic, and integrates these features into the
API controller. The most important changes are grouped below.
### CBR Support and Conversion:
- Added the `com.github.junrar:junrar` dependency to support RAR/CBR
archive extraction in `build.gradle`. (https://github.com/junrar/junrar
and https://github.com/junrar/junrar?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme for
repo and license)
- Introduced the new utility class `CbrUtils` for converting CBR files
to PDF, including image extraction, sorting, and error handling.
- Added the `PdfToCbrUtils` utility class to convert PDF files into CBR
archives by rendering each page as an image and packaging them.
### CBZ/CBR Conversion Optimization:
- Refactored `CbzUtils.convertCbzToPdf` to support optional Ghostscript
optimization for e-reader compatibility and added a new method for this.
- Added `GeneralUtils.optimizePdfWithGhostscript`, which uses
Ghostscript to optimize PDFs for e-readers, and integrated error
handling.
### API Controller Integration:
- Updated `ConvertImgPDFController` to support CBR conversion, CBZ/CBR
optimization toggling, and Ghostscript availability checks.
### Endpoints

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5f861943-0706-4fad-8775-c40a9c1f3170"
/>
### File Type and Image Detection Improvements:
- Improved file extension detection for comic book files and image files
in `CbzUtils` and added a shared regex pattern utility for image files.
### Additional notes:
- Please keep in mind new the dependency, this is not dependency-free
implementation (as opposed to CBZ converter)
- RAR 5 currently not supported. (because JUNRAR does not support it)
- Added the new ebook optimization func to GeneralUtils since we'll soon
(hopefully) at least 3 book/ebook formats (EPUB, CBZ, CBR) all of which
can use it.
- Once again this has been thoroughly tested but can't share actual
"real life" file due to copyright.
Closes: #775

# 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
- **What was changed**
- Relocated and refactored unit tests:
- `TextFinderTest` and `RedactControllerTest` moved under
`app/core/src/test/...` to align with module structure.
- Expanded test coverage: whole-word vs. partial matches, complex
regexes (emails, SSNs, IPs, currency), international/accented
characters, multi-page documents, malformed PDFs, operator preservation,
color decoding, and performance assertions.
- **API adjustments in redaction flow**:
- `createTokensWithoutTargetText(...)` now accepts the `PDDocument`
alongside `PDPage` to properly manage resources/streams.
- Introduced/used `createPlaceholderWithFont(...)` to maintain text
width with explicit font context.
- **Bug fix in `TextFinder`**:
- Early-return when the (trimmed) search term is empty to prevent
unnecessary processing and avoid false positives/errors.
- Minor cleanup (removed redundant `super()` call) and improved guard
logic around regex/whole-word wrapping.
- **Why the change was made**
- Improve reliability and determinism of PDF redaction and text finding
by exercising real-world patterns and edge cases.
- Ensure structural PDF operators (graphics/positioning) are preserved
during token filtering.
- Prevent crashes or misleading matches when users provide
empty/whitespace-only search terms.
- Align tests with the current project layout and increase
maintainability.

# Description of Changes
This PR introduces several refactorings and minor enhancements across
the `common`, `core`, and `proprietary` modules:
- **Dependency Injection Cleanup**
- Removed unused constructor-injected dependencies (e.g.,
`FileOrUploadService`, `ApplicationProperties`, redundant `@Autowired`
annotations).
- Simplified constructors to only require actively used dependencies.
- **Model Enhancements**
- Added `@NoArgsConstructor` to `FileInfo`, `PdfMetadata`, and
`SignatureFile` to improve serialization/deserialization support.
- **Service Improvements**
- Improved `JobExecutorService` content type retrieval by assigning
`MediaType` to a variable before conversion.
- Enhanced `KeyPersistenceService` with type-safe
`.filter(JwtVerificationKey.class::isInstance)`.
- Annotated `decodePublicKey` in `KeyPersistenceService` with
`@Override` for clarity.
- **Controller & API Changes**
- Updated `AdminSettingsController` to use
`TypeReference<Map<String,Object>>` for safer conversion.
- Improved long log and description strings with consistent formatting.
- **Testing Updates**
- Replaced `.lenient()` mock settings with
`.defaultAnswer(RETURNS_DEFAULTS)` for `FileToPdf` static mocks.
- Used `ArgumentMatchers.<TypeReference<List<BookmarkItem>>>any()` in
`EditTableOfContentsControllerTest` for type safety.
- Updated `UserServiceTest` default `AuthenticationType` from `SSO` to
`OAUTH2`.
- **Formatting**
- Broke up long log/debug lines for better readability.
- Removed redundant `@SuppressWarnings` where type safety was ensured.
These changes aim to make the codebase leaner, more type-safe, and
maintainable, while improving test reliability.

# Description of Changes
- **What was changed:**
- Renamed top-level directories: `stirling-pdf` → `app/core`, `common` →
`app/common`, `proprietary` → `app/proprietary`.
- Updated all path references in `.gitattributes`, GitHub workflows
(`.github/workflows/*`), scripts (`.github/scripts/*`), `.gitignore`,
Dockerfiles, license files, and template settings to reflect the new
structure.
- Added a new CI job `check-generateOpenApiDocs` to generate and upload
OpenAPI documentation.
- Removed redundant `@Autowired` annotations from `TempFileShutdownHook`
and `UnlockPDFFormsController`.
