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.
Lands five integrated branches: pipeline templates (#355), analytics opt-out (#354), 83 conversion presets bringing the catalog to 240 tools (#356), self-hosted positioning (#353), and e2e modernization (#351).
Integration fixes: aligned stale web analytics tests with the opt-out/allow-list model, closed 3 CodeQL incomplete-sanitization alerts in the i18n generator, resolved settings/index/docs/format-matrix conflicts, and corrected tool counts to 240.
The e2e specs predate the 2.0 section-route migration and navigated to
single-segment tool URLs (/resize) that now 404 (App.tsx only mounts
/:section/:toolId). This broke the whole e2e suite (Cross-Browser, Device
Matrix, E2E Full, Visual) - part of the known stale-spec backlog.
- Sweep 929 goto("/<tool>") -> goto("/<section>/<tool>") across 45 spec
files, using the authoritative TOOLS + toolSection() mapping. Two-segment
routes, top-level routes (/automate, /editor, ...), and intentional 404
tests (/nonexistent-*) are untouched.
- Implement the legacy redirects the specs already assert: the 1.x color
tools (brightness-contrast, saturation, color-channels, color-effects)
redirect to /image/adjust-colors (App.tsx). Good for old bookmarks too.
- Remove the analytics-consent page tests (gui-navigation + gui-visual);
#336 deleted that page.
Mechanical + biome-clean + web typecheck passes. Browser-specific behavior
can only be confirmed by the nightly e2e jobs.
1. passport-photo 404 vs 501: add base route at /api/v1/tools/passport-photo
that returns 501 FEATURE_NOT_INSTALLED when the AI bundle is missing,
matching other AI tools. The /generate sub-route is Sharp-only (no
sidecar) so it correctly skips the isToolInstalled guard.
2. AuthGuard analytics consent race: don't evaluate shouldShowConsent()
until analyticsConfig has been fetched (guard on analyticsConfig !== null).
Prevents redirect to /analytics-consent before config is loaded.
3. Fragile sidebar Settings selector: add openSettings(page) helper to
E2E helpers that checks sidebar visibility with fallback to button role.
Replace all 134 occurrences of page.locator("aside").getByText("Settings")
across 18 test files.
Add ~500 new E2E tests and ~300 new integration tests covering:
- 24 new GUI E2E specs: navigation, responsive layout, keyboard shortcuts,
tool UI for all 35 non-AI tools, batch/pipeline workflows, settings/RBAC,
visual regression, accessibility, and performance budgets
- 3 new E2E-Docker specs: batch workflows, advanced pipelines, cross-format
- 1 new adversarial integration test: memory pressure, corrupted files,
unicode filenames, extreme dimensions, pipeline/batch edge cases
- 29 expanded integration test files: HEIC/HEIF input, large files, parameter
boundaries, batch processing, format edge cases across all tools
- Cross-format matrix expanded: 641 tests covering every tool x 18 formats
- AI bridge unit tests expanded: lifecycle, tool modules, error propagation
- Unit test gaps filled: analytics, tool-registry, web stores
Also fixes:
- vitest.config.ts: exclude e2e-docs and e2e-landing from Vitest runner
- AI E2E specs: add sidecar health check to skip gracefully when Python
AI backend is not running instead of timing out
