The 83 X-to-Y converter pages were generated from one template with the
format names substituted in. Three of the four features and two of the
three FAQs were byte-identical across all 82 non-override presets, every
page came out at exactly 144 words, and pages within a family sat at
roughly 61% similarity with identical shingle counts. That is the
mass-produced fingerprint, and the same shape that got the docs tool
pages deduped in #662. All 83 are indexed today, so this is prevention
rather than repair.
Copy is now derived from what actually differs between the two formats:
alpha, animation, colour depth, lossy re-encode behaviour, container
reach, and where each format is genuinely accepted. png-to-jpg explains
that transparency gets flattened; gif-to-jpg warns you keep frame one
only; psd-to-svg says to export Photoshop's real vector layers instead of
tracing them.
Mean similarity across all 3,403 pairs drops from 34.8% to 6.7%, and the
uniform 144-word length is gone (206-256 words, varying). Within-family
max is roughly flat: on the built pages, image goes 62.8% to 66.1%, video
61.3% to 66.4%, audio 60.7% to 60.6%. Generated copy has a similarity
floor, and beating it inside a family would take hand-written pages. What
has gone is the identical shingle count per family, which was the
strongest tell.
Also drops the one-off eps-to-svg override: all five vectorize presets
now get honest tracing copy, not just that one.
Verified: landing builds 798 pages, zero verbatim repeats between a
page's blurb and its own features or FAQs, biome clean.
Bumps every version surface to 2.2.0, fixes a latent version-coupling bug in the
OCR runtime tests, and stops an absent GPU runner from silently stalling a
release.
Version surfaces: scripts/sync-version.sh covers the 11 workspaces, APP_VERSION,
and the docs release commands across all locales. Root package.json plus the
three surfaces the script never reaches are done by hand: the DOCKERHUB.md banner
and tag table, the docker-tags.md pinning table in 21 locales, and the example
runtimeVersion in tools/image/ocr.md in 21 locales. The release-notes archive step
is deliberately not pre-run, so the notes text stays editable until the release.
Latent bug: runtime-state rejects any runtime whose compatibility.snapotterVersion
is not exactly APP_VERSION, and five fixtures pinned the literal 2.1.0. Since
semantic-release rewrites APP_VERSION on every release, the first PR after any
bump would have gone red for a reason nobody would trace to the release. The
fixtures now derive from APP_VERSION.
GPU runner: sign-ocr-index needs verify-ocr-nvidia on self-hosted hardware, and
the gated manifest job needs ai-bundles, so a missing runner queued instead of
failing and produced no image tags. preflight-gpu-runner claims the same labels
with no dependencies, so it is scheduled first and validates the GPU before the
90-minute build. An API preflight is impossible because listing self-hosted
runners needs Administration:read, which GITHUB_TOKEN cannot hold, so RELEASE.md
carries the maintainer-side check.
A release-readiness QA pass over the whole product. The commits split into
defects a user would hit and gates that were reporting green while measuring
nothing.
## Fixes that change behaviour
Rate limiting was bypassable on every install: TRUST_PROXY defaulted to true, so
request.ip came from a client-set header and a forged X-Forwarded-For got past
the login limiter. The default is now a private-network trust list.
A transient Postgres outage stranded in-flight jobs, leaving finished output on
disk with no row pointing at it. A reconciler now resolves those rows and adopts
the bytes rather than dropping the work.
A Redis connection that moved to a new address wedged every read-blocked
consumer, so completions stopped signalling while health still answered 200.
Socket timeouts plus subscriber pings recover it.
Installing more than one AI bundle left the shared venv multi-versioned and
silently broke three tools. The installer now reconciles distributions to one
version each.
Converting an image to JXL at quality 1 through 4 returned a 500, because
libjxl 0.7 rejects the distance those values compute. The quality is floored at
what the encoder honours. A missing ffmpeg was also reported to the user as a
corrupt upload; it now says the engine is unavailable.
RAW uploads reached an unpatched LibRaw on arm64, so it is built from source at
0.22.2, and the release scan was split so it can fail on an unfixed critical
instead of hiding it behind ignore-unfixed.
## Gates that could not fail
Two mutation lanes ran zero mutants because Stryker crawled the gitignored docs
build; coverage discarded its whole report on any failing test; the lint gate
skipped root tests, scripts, and two workspaces; and several generated matrices
counted a host missing ffmpeg as a passing tool. Each now measures what it
claims.
Full evidence and the outstanding release items are tracked locally and are not
part of this branch.
Type a printable character on the landing homepage or the app's home
dashboard and it lands in the search box, provided the box is on screen
and nothing else holds focus. Mod+K keeps working unchanged.
The parts that are easy to get wrong live in
packages/shared/src/search/type-to-search.ts so the two surfaces cannot
drift. isTypeToSearchKey decides whether a keystroke is text.
isSearchBoxTypeable decides whether the box is reachable, via one
elementFromPoint hit test at its center, which folds off-screen,
covered-by-a-modal and hidden into a single check that leans on no one's
aria markup. It fails closed where there is no layout engine, so jsdom
tests that mount the search bar do not blow up on it.
Modifier handling reads getModifierState("AltGraph") rather than
inferring AltGr from ctrl+alt. That inference reads correctly on Windows
and is backwards on macOS, where Option alone types accented characters
and ctrl+alt is a shortcut prefix, VoiceOver's included.
Focus is claimed before the keystroke is committed. Browsers silently
refuse focus inside inert or visibility:hidden subtrees, and without the
check an entire query drains into a box the user cannot see.
Scope comes from where the hook is mounted rather than a route check that
could rot, so tool pages, the editor, Files and Automate get nothing. No
new i18n strings, and no new analytics event, since
ANALYTICS_EVENTS.SEARCH already fires off the same state change.
Verified: 44 new unit tests, full unit suite 7557 passed, landing
homepage 24/24, home-page 19/19, gui-keyboard 41/41, typecheck and lint
clean, all 18 CI checks green.
Adds /api/status to the landing Pages worker, HEAD-probing demo.snapotter.com and
docs.snapotter.com with a 2 second per-attempt deadline and one retry. snapotter.com is
not probed; the worker answering the request is the proof it is up.
The footer badge ships grey in the static HTML and only upgrades once the route answers.
A rejected fetch, a non-ok response, an unparseable body, and an unrecognized verdict all
leave it grey, so it never claims green on its own.
Color lives in the dot, never the label: `--color-success` scores 4.498:1 against the
footer's `--color-background-alt`, just under AA.
Four labels across 21 locales.
Testimonial wall: new landing section between Feature Highlights and Pricing.
Two rows drifting in opposite directions, CSS-only to keep the zero-runtime
rule. 22 quotes, all verbatim and traceable to a public URL or a
feedback_submitted event. In-app quotes ship unattributed because the feedback
dialog only ever promised "You can contact me about this feedback". Marquee
traps documented in the CSS: a track gap also sits between the last original
and the first clone, so the -50% translate jumped half a gap per loop; and
under dir="rtl" the flex track drifted itself off-screen while "@amn-96"
bidi-reordered to "amn-96@".
Landing stats: DOCKER_FALLBACK read 104,000 against a real 233,057, but the
stale constant was the symptom. Both fetchers swallowed failures in a bare
catch, so a degraded build never announced itself. That warning then exposed
the real bug: getStarCount runs from Navbar and TrustSignals on all 798 pages,
firing ~800 unauthenticated GitHub calls per build and 403ing partway through,
so early pages carried the live count and later pages the fallback. Both
fetchers now memoize the promise.
Onboarding survey: the shipped gate has no activity condition, so it fires on
first admin login; 1,105 of 1,287 surveyed instances never processed a file.
The opaque fixed inset-0 aria-modal with a focus trap and no Escape becomes a
corner card at 12% of the screen, Escape closes, and the optional questions
stay collapsed until the one required answer. Its title was an h1, which
RouteAnnouncer focuses and announces on every route change, so navigating
anywhere announced the survey instead of the page. Now an h2.
Adds a Rounded Crop image tool for logo, favicon, and app-icon work. It masks the framed square to a rounded rectangle (with a corner-radius control) or an iOS-style squircle, reusing circle-crop's zoom/offset framing, border ring, background fill, and output-size options. Includes translations across all 21 locales.
Closes#601
Removes the temporary 2.0 launch banner and README note, and refreshes the social/OG card to the current landing hero (synced to landing/web/docs og-image.png).
Exports a pure buildRedirects() from generate-redirects.mjs and adds a unit test asserting the committed apps/landing/public/_redirects matches it, so tool additions can't silently leave the generated redirects stale (see #573).
Fixes#568. Adds a real --color-ring token (ink orange #A85518 light / #F0A766 dark) and sweeps all 57 focus-indicator occurrences onto it: soft opacity rings blended to 1.2-1.7:1, border-only indicators sat at 2.6-3.0:1, and four focus:ring-ring sites referenced a token that never existed. Sponsor button keeps pink via pink-700; range sliders and the file list gain their missing keyboard indicators; landing skip link and form borders hardened; the palette contrast guard pins the ring at 3:1 in both themes.
Fixes#557. Vivid fill, ink label: brand #E07832 stays on fills while primary-foreground flips to #1A1814 (5.83:1); new theme-aware ink tokens carry orange, destructive, and success text roles; opacity-modified text purged; landing, demo, and the docs fund button retuned. Guarded by a CSS-parsing unit contrast test, rebuilt axe baselines with zero contrast entries, a new landing axe smoke, and fully regenerated darwin visual baselines.
Resyncs the generated _redirects with the tool catalog; it drifted when remove-gif-background was added without rerunning scripts/generate-redirects.mjs. Landing-only PR, admin-merged past the path-skipped required checks.
Anchor the Product menu panel below the navbar's bottom border line by bumping its top padding (pt-3 to pt-8). The panel was anchored to the button, landing 10px above the line, so the full-width navbar gradient line cut across the top of the open dropdown.
Astro's getRelativeLocaleUrl lowercases the locale segment by default, so landing links and hreflang for zh-CN, zh-TW, and pt-BR were emitted lowercase and 404 on case-sensitive Cloudflare Pages. Pin the casing at the localizeHref chokepoint with normalizeLocale: false, add an e2e hreflang casing guard, and add a deploy-time check that blocks the build if any lowercased locale path leaks into the output.
Closes#554
Removes the client-side api.github.com fetch from the landing navbar and the docs theme; both now render a build-time star count (docs via a new VitePress data loader). deploy-docs.yml gets GITHUB_TOKEN plus a daily refresh cron, mirroring deploy-landing.yml. Fixes#555.
Tool-detail pages (/tools/<section>/<tool>/) and the /self-hosted pages are
built only in English, with no per-locale route, so a locale-prefixed link
404s in the static build. Add an enOnlyHref() helper and use it for those
links in Footer, Navbar, HeroSearch, and ToolGrid so localized pages point at
the English pages that actually exist. Adds an e2e guard asserting localized
pages emit un-prefixed URLs for those routes.
Comprehensive telemetry quality improvements across Sentry and PostHog, grounded in an audit of the live data plus current best-practice research.
Sentry: job_id/instance_id tags, operational fingerprinting, PII-safe settings context on bug events, web tag population + extension-noise filtering, an early-crash buffer, http status/method kept on breadcrumbs, and a gated-off-by-default performance-tracing re-enable (tracesSampler that zeroes db/redis/queue-poll root spans + drops the Redis integration) with worker job spans and canonical-host cron monitors.
PostHog: history_change SPA pageviews, instance_id super property for fleet rollups, enriched tool_used (formats, byte sizes, is_batch, execution_hint, real error_kind taxonomy), the previously-dead result_saved/batch_processed/ai_bundle_prompted events fired, search click-through, editor + Automate authoring + auth instrumentation, a before_send PII boundary, and minimal opt-in landing-site pageviews.
Switch the footer LiftOff badge image to lift-off.sh's hosted webp so their launch-verification step passes. Removes the unused self-hosted copy; the do-follow link is unchanged.
Adds a dedicated remove-gif-background AI tool: removes the background from an animated GIF, WebP, or APNG frame by frame and reassembles a transparent (or composited) animation in WebP, APNG, or GIF, with full per-frame effects. Reuses the background-removal bundle. Verified end-to-end with the real rembg model.
Closes#496.
The remove.bg comparison + tweaked alternatives rows, re-translated into all 20 languages but missed in the merge PR. Admin-merged (landing-only PR, skipped Integration matrix contexts never report; known repo deadlock). pnpm i18n:check passes on all 4 surfaces; landing build clean.
Render-blocking head script that routes a returning visitor to the language they explicitly picked (stored on switch). Only on default English pages; skips English-only tool-detail pages; crawler-safe. Admin-merged: landing-only PR, the skipped Integration matrix jobs never report the required contexts (known repo deadlock). Logic verified across 10 scenarios; landing build + typecheck clean.
Shared Claude Code translation pipeline (scripts/i18n, no API key) plus Astro/VitePress/Scalar i18n wiring. Landing and API reference translated into all 20 languages; docs i18n wiring + English source anchors. The translated docs markdown (apps/docs/<locale>/**, 3,620 files) follows in a companion PR because it exceeds GitHub's per-PR CI file limit.
Regenerate the social/OG card (200+ tools, Private file processing, self-hosted infrastructure) and sync to landing/web/docs; update banner, press kit, package + OpenAPI + Docker Hub descriptions, a leaked docs count, and the English About string.
Adds a CSS-only Product dropdown (Developers, Self-hosted tools, Alternatives) to the top nav and restores the lg breakpoint. Mobile menu lists items flat. Updated homepage e2e (navbar + dropdown-hover tests, footer scope). Verified at 1024/1280px, 63/63 landing e2e.
Restores Developers to the top nav by swapping out the Features homepage anchor. Nav is now Enterprise, Pricing, Alternatives, Developers, Docs, Talk to a human. Updated two e2e assertions that checked for a Features nav link. Verified visually at 1120/1280px and 62/62 landing e2e.
Fixes the broken top navbar (logo/Features collision, wrapping CTAs). Removes the Developers link (kept in footer), adds shrink-0/whitespace-nowrap, and shows the horizontal nav at min-[1120px] with a hamburger below. Verified visually at 1024/1120/1152/1280px; 62/62 e2e, build green. Admin merge: landing-src-only, required matrix contexts path-skip and never report.
Follow-up to #469. Homepage/enterprise/FAQ JSON-LD and meta now say 'file-processing infrastructure' (not 'suite'), and the visible homepage counts (ToolGrid subtitle, Pricing bullet) plus SEO meta say '200+'. Removed the orphaned toolCount/TOOLS references. Leaves the /tools catalog and ToolGrid filter-tab functional counts exact. Admin merge: landing-src-only PR, required matrix contexts path-skip and never report.
Leads public copy with self-hosted file-processing infrastructure and demotes tool count to a proof point across README, docs, llms.txt, DockerHub, and the landing site. Adds a /self-hosted hub plus 7 job-intent SEO pages with a build-time validator, deepens the flagship /alternatives pages, adds a remove.bg page, three shared components, and landing e2e coverage.
Add an OIDC / SSO login line to the Open Source tier and narrow the Enterprise bullet to SAML SSO + SSO enforcement. OIDC login ships in the free open-source build (env-gated, no license); only SAML and SSO enforcement are licensed.
Deep otter-brown Web 1.0 style bar pinned above the fixed navbar (offset via --lb-h), with a localStorage-remembered dismissal and a render-blocking check so returning visitors see no flash. Temporary; remove once 2.0 is old news.
Adds a click-to-copy Docker quickstart command and a small live-demo button to the landing hero, between the category cards and the stats. Removes the divider above the stats and tightens hero spacing so the stats stay above the fold. New HeroQuickstart.astro is a scoped copy-to-clipboard island (clipboard + execCommand fallback, aria-live, reduced-motion).
* docs: add 1.x-to-2.0 migration guide and upgrade notice
Adds MIGRATING.md with backup and upgrade steps, plus a short
"coming from 1.x?" callout in README and the docs upgrade guide
pointing existing users at it.
* fix: replace stale image-only and pre-rename data copy across product
SnapOtter grew from an image-only tool into a 5-modality suite
(Image, Video, Audio, PDF, Files), but copy in several places never
caught up. Fixes:
- dropzone.defaultFormats (i18n): every non-English locale still had
the pure pre-2.0 image-only format list; English omitted Files
entirely. Corrected across all 21 locales.
- settings.about.appDescription (i18n): "document, and data" workflow
copy updated to "PDF, and file" across all 21 locales.
- constants.ts: Files category's raw name was still "Data Files".
- Landing hero subtitle, JSON-LD schema, llms.txt, and 7 spots in the
competitor-comparison pages.
- Docs: VitePress config, supported-formats, deployment, and an
architecture.md modality-naming nit.
- OpenAPI description, root package.json description/keyword, and a
GitHub issue template dropdown option.
DOCKERHUB.md's separate "v1.x, image tools only" pre-release notice
is left untouched since 2.0 hasn't published to Docker Hub yet.
* test: update dropzone format-hint assertion to match corrected copy
The expected string still had the stale image-only/duplicated
PDF-Documents text from before the dropzone.defaultFormats fix.
* feat(api): parse DATA_DIR from env for 1.x import auto-detection
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* test(migrator): build 1.17.2 fixtures by replaying legacy migrations
Discovered the legacy migrations seed a Default team (0005) and builtin roles
(0007), so the replayed fixture carries them. Seed uses a distinct custom team.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* fix(migrator): self-adjusting column copy, jobs.status map, drop sessions, advisory lock
The importer now inserts only the intersection of source and live target columns,
so the three analytics_* columns 2.x dropped no longer break the first users INSERT
(and future dropped columns are handled generically). jobs.status is mapped onto the
2.x enum (error->failed). Sessions are no longer migrated. A pg_advisory_xact_lock
serializes concurrent replicas. Includes login-after-migrate and library assertions.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* test(migrator): CI drift guard fails when a required column is unfillable from 1.17.2
Introspects every NOT-NULL-no-default column of each migrated table in the current
schema and asserts the engine can fill it from a real 1.17.2 source. Turns a future
breaking schema change into a PR-time failure instead of a production import break.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* feat(migrator): orchestrator with detection, boot states, marker, blob count
sqlite-import.ts owns source resolution (explicit path, 'off' sentinel, DATA_DIR
probe), the four boot states (import/leftover/locked/none), the persisted
sqlite_import marker, and a read-only library-blob count. runBootImport wires them
together and catches TargetNonEmptyError as a benign multi-replica skip.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* feat(api): route boot through the 1.x import orchestrator; hide marker from non-admins
index.ts now calls runBootImport (which owns detection + the four boot states)
instead of the inline SQLITE_MIGRATE_PATH block. The sqlite_import marker is added
to SENSITIVE_KEYS (but not REDACTED_KEYS) so admins see the counts for the banner
while non-admins don't see the key at all.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* feat(migrator): add analyzeSqlite + dry-run/verify CLI
analyzeSqlite is a read-only pre-flight (no live Postgres): per-table row counts,
library-blob presence, and out-of-enum job statuses. The migrate:sqlite CLI now
lives in the orchestrator and supports --dry-run/--verify (prints the analysis and
exits without writing) alongside the existing import and --force.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* docs: add 1.x to 2.0 upgrade guide; fix volume-name casing
New apps/docs upgrade guide covering auto-detect, the SQLITE_MIGRATE_PATH override +
off opt-out, the dry-run, what carries over, locked-state recovery, and non-destructive
rollback. Leads with 'back up the WHOLE /data volume, not just snapotter.db' because
1.x WAL mode leaves data in snapotter.db-wal (surfaced by the real-image upgrade test).
Standardizes README/DOCKERHUB compose volume names on the canonical SnapOtter-data
casing so they match the repo compose and don't orphan an upgrader's volume.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* feat(web): admin 1.x migration banner + 21-locale strings
A one-time admin banner reads the sqlite_import marker from /v1/settings and shows
the import result (user + saved-file counts) on success, or a warning when a 1.x
database was found but not imported. Dismissal persists to a sqlite_import.dismissedAt
settings key. shouldShowMigrationBanner/parseMigrationMarker sit in feedback.ts with
the other shouldShow helpers; strings added to en.ts and all 20 other locales.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
* style(landing): biome-format Hero.astro trustBadges array
Pre-existing formatting drift on main (its Lint check was skipped on the merge that
introduced it); this PR's full Lint run surfaced it. Formatting-only, applied via
the repo's own biome formatter to unblock the required Lint check.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01721WHAUGxnVk22qEeTub7w
Retitle the homepage hero to "File processing for privacy-sensitive
teams", drop the redundant infrastructure subline, and trim the trust
badges to the four foundational signals (self-hosted, open source,
air-gap capable, compliance-friendly).
Align the homepage title and meta description to the new positioning,
overriding the site-wide defaults for the homepage only.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EhgRGhvhNGJVQHcdFdcNMa
Match the drift-proof public phrasing used elsewhere (the Languages
stat already reads "20+"). Avoids the below-hero number going stale as
tools are added.
