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.
Centralize role-authority enforcement across user management, role management, configuration import, SCIM, GDPR, and MFA mutations. Add regression coverage for delegated custom roles and protect higher-privilege accounts from reset, deletion, or takeover.
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.
Make on-demand AI feature-bundle installs reliable and self-healing, closing
the failure modes behind most "some tool doesn't work" reports.
Multi-bundle installs: tools needing more than one bundle (Passport Photo,
Enhance Faces) install every required bundle from one action and stay
not-installed until all are present. Verified across all 19 AI tools.
Downloads: self-heal the accelerated Hugging Face (Xet) client so an upgraded
venv no longer silently falls back to slow urllib; restart instead of
corrupting a resumed partial when a proxy ignores Range and returns 200;
verify the completed size; fail fast on disk-full and HTTP 4xx; retry
transient errors five times; add hf_transfer fallback and document Xet egress.
Install integrity: crash-atomic venv writes so a killed or out-of-space
install can no longer tear the shared venv and break other tools; a boot
breadcrumb reseeds a torn venv to a clean state automatically; a post-install
smoke import test refuses to record a bundle whose libraries cannot load; an
install watchdog stops a wedged installer that would otherwise hold the venv
writer lock forever.
Adds unit and end-to-end tests for every failure mode above.
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.
* feat(docs): improve search UX
- Hide the 'Search by Pagefind' branding in the search dialog footer
- Replace the 'No results found.' message shown before any query with a
friendly hint (detected via empty-input :placeholder-shown state)
- Tune placeholder, empty-state, and results-heading copy; show a few
sub-section matches per result (pageResultCount)
* docs: replace double-dash em-dash substitute with single dash
Swept prose ' -- ' to ' - ' and numeric ranges (e.g. 2--20 to 2-20)
across the documentation. CLI flags and code blocks left untouched.
* fix(landing): show colored category icons on modality tool pages
The /tools/<modality>/ pages rendered bare name+description cards with no
icon or color. Port the colored, category-tinted icon card from /tools/
so modality pages match the main catalog (icon, tint, 'Learn more').
The fifth user-facing group is now Image, Video, Audio, PDF, Files
(internal modality id stays "file"; section.ts "files" was already
"Files"). Updates modality.ts label + comment, all 21 i18n locales
(categories.data "Data Files"->"Files", modalities.documentsAndFiles
"PDF & Data"->"PDF & Files", dead homePage.data), landing cards/hero
search/tools filter, docs headings, and e2e modality-tab assertions
(/^Data/ -> /^Files/, which had been failing).
rest.md: correct the tool response shape (JSON {jobId, downloadUrl, ...} for fast / 202 {jobId, async} for long, not the raw file), fix the SSE jobId source (body, with X-Job-Id only on batch/pipeline ZIP streams), complete the permissions list to all 17, and add ai-canvas-expand.
ai.md: reconcile ~14 AI tool parameter tables to the real Zod schemas (remove-background, upscale, ocr, enhance-faces, colorize, noise-removal, red-eye-removal, restore-photo, passport-photo, erase-object, smart-crop, content-aware-resize, transparency-fixer, image-enhancement), add the 6 missing AI tools (background-replace, blur-background, ocr-pdf, ai-canvas-expand, transcribe-audio, auto-subtitles), and fix the dispatcher script diagram and feature-bundle table.
image-engine.md: add 4 undocumented operations (sharpen, sharpen-advanced, color-blindness, edit-metadata) and fix flip/crop/rotate/convert/compress/strip-metadata/color-channels params, output-format count (13), and the info JSON example. supported-formats.md: output count 14 -> 13. Verified with a clean docs build.
Reconcile every tool page's parameters, defaults, and response shape against the tool's Zod settings schema and executionHint in code. Notable fixes: color-palette (add count + format params, hex output, median-cut algorithm), favicon (add 5 params, was documented as having none), qr-generate (add logoDataUri), convert (add ppm/eps/tga formats), video-loudnorm (-16 LUFS not -14), smart-crop (async 202 not sync 200), images-to-video (1080x1080 square), and several output-filename and behavior-note corrections.
Also normalize API endpoint paths to /api/v1/tools/<id> (no modality segment) and standardize curl examples on the Docker API port 1349. Verified with a clean docs build.
Move all 157 tool pages into image/video/audio/pdf/data subfolders so URLs read /tools/<modality>/<id> (e.g. /tools/image/crop). Nest the image sub-categories under an Image group in the sidebar so the nav reads by modality. Add public/_redirects (301, clean + .html forms) mapping every old flat /tools/<id> URL to its new path so inbound links keep working. Rewrite all internal /tools links. Verified with a clean docs build (no dead links).
rest.md and the docs sidebar still listed only image tools. The OpenAPI spec (#254) now covers all 157 tools, but the hand-written reference lagged.
- rest.md: add Video (29), Audio (17), Document (36), and Data (10) tool tables, and add the 12 newer image tools into their existing category tables (168 tool rows total)
- sidebar: add a "Video, Audio, Document & Data" group linking to the new rest.md sections, so the nav reflects all modalities without needing per-tool pages
Docs site builds cleanly (no dead links). Per-tool doc pages for non-image tools are intentionally not generated here; the REST reference + Scalar + /llms.txt cover them.
* docs: rebrand from image-only to multi-modality across docs and metadata
SnapOtter expanded from image-only to 157 tools across 5 modalities
(image, video, audio, document/PDF, data). Update all product-level
copy, metadata, and i18n that still framed it as an image-only tool.
- README, package.json, root llms.txt: multi-modality framing, 157 tools
- OpenAPI info + tags, generated /llms.txt tagline (docs.ts)
- VitePress docs site: hero, getting-started, architecture, security,
deployment, configuration, developer, supported-formats
- i18n: 10 product keys across all 21 locales (hero, app description,
privacy notes, AI features, progress messages, getting-started)
- web/demo/landing meta + privacy copy, COMMUNITY_GUIDE, .env.example
Stale tool counts (53/50+/52/70+/35) corrected to 157 throughout.
Database/container deployment claims left unchanged (out of scope).
* docs: fix stale post-rebrand test assertions and README language list
- tests/e2e-docs/homepage.spec.ts: assert the current docs homepage (file toolkit, 157 tools, 5 modalities) instead of the old image-only strings
- tests/unit/api/docs-route.test.ts: sync the reproduced llms.txt tagline with docs.ts
- README.md: 21 languages with the correct list (add Swedish and Chinese Traditional, drop Czech which is not supported)
* docs: correct 2.0 architecture references (Postgres 17 + Redis 8, 3-container stack)
The docs and metadata still described the 1.x stack (SQLite, single container, p-queue). Update them to the current 2.0 reality.
- README: replace the broken single-container `docker run` quick-start with the real Docker Compose stack (app + Postgres 17 + Redis 8); fix the "no Redis, no Postgres" feature bullet
- package.json: description no longer claims a single container
- apps/docs: rewrite database.md for Postgres; configuration.md DB_PATH -> DATABASE_URL + REDIS_URL; architecture.md SQLite/p-queue/better-sqlite3 -> Postgres/BullMQ/pg and add media-engine + doc-engine; developer/security/deployment/docker-tags/getting-started/contributing compose examples now include postgres + redis; index.md + api/ai.md AI count 16 -> 19
- SECURITY.md: Drizzle (SQLite) -> (PostgreSQL)
- landing: enterprise/FeatureHighlights single-container wording; TrustSignals/ToolGrid 150+ -> 157 (dynamic); Pricing/FAQ 15 -> 19 AI tools
* docs(api): document all video, audio, document, and data tool endpoints in OpenAPI
The spec covered only image tools; the Scalar UI and the generated /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt inherited that gap. Add the 104 missing tool endpoints so the API docs match the code.
- Video: 29 endpoints (most long/async; auto-subtitles is AI)
- Audio: 17 (transcribe-audio is AI)
- Document/PDF: 36 (ocr-pdf is AI; conversions are long/async)
- Data: 10
- Image: 12 newer tools (background-replace, blur-background AI; histogram/lqip-placeholder/sprite-sheet custom responses; barcode-generate uses a JSON body)
Each schema is derived from the tool's Zod validator and executionHint (fast -> 200, long -> 202+SSE, AI adds 501 FeatureNotInstalledError, multi-file inputs as arrays), referencing the existing shared schemas. Tool path entries: 64 -> 168. Spec parses as valid YAML with no duplicate paths and only known $refs.

Update tool count from 49 to 50 across README, docs homepage,
architecture docs, VitePress config, OpenAPI spec, and LLM docs
generator.
Users can no longer customize the app name or logo. The branding API
endpoints, permission, frontend UI, env vars (APP_NAME, MAX_LOGO_SIZE_KB),
and all related tests are removed. Includes a migration to clean up
branding data from existing databases.
- Add Cloudflare Pages deployment for landing page (snapotter.com) and
docs (docs.snapotter.com)

- Update VitePress config: light theme default, fix llms.txt paths
- Add .vitepress/cache/ and .env.* to gitignore
Pipeline steps and batch size are now unlimited by default. The old
"20 steps" and "200 images" figures had no basis in the actual code
(MAX_BATCH_SIZE already defaulted to 0/unlimited). Both remain
configurable via MAX_PIPELINE_STEPS and MAX_BATCH_SIZE env vars.
Also includes updated hardware requirements and sidebar nav from
prior documentation audit.
Add 12 previously undocumented routes to the OpenAPI 3.1 specification:
content-aware-resize, edit-metadata (+ inspect), stitch, pdf-to-image
(+ info, preview), gif-tools/info, remove-background/effects, preview,
pipeline/tools, and pipeline/batch. Fix license from MIT to AGPL-3.0,
correct DELETE /files response from 204 to 200 with body, and update
VitePress API docs (rest.md tool table, ai.md model parameters). Also
register the sharpen operation in the image-engine OPERATION_MAP so it
can be used as a standalone pipeline step.

Merge CPU, CUDA, and lite Docker images into a single unified image.
One tag (latest) works on all platforms: amd64 (NVIDIA CUDA) and arm64 (CPU).
GPU auto-detected at runtime. All ML models and packages baked in.
Key changes:
- Platform-conditional Dockerfile (nvidia/cuda on amd64, node on arm64)
- tini as PID 1 for proper signal handling
- Fix FILES_STORAGE_PATH data loss bug
- Fix RealESRGAN upscaler (was broken, always fell back to Lanczos)
- Fix PaddleOCR language codes and stdout corruption
- Simplified CI/CD (single build, single tag)
- Expanded model pre-download with verification
- Shutdown timeout, improved health endpoint
- Remove unused lama-cleaner
Clickable localhost:1349 links are misleading on the GitHub Pages site
since users may not have Stirling Image running locally. Use plain path
references instead so it is clear these live on their own instance.
The links used /Stirling-Image/ (wrong casing) which VitePress then
prefixed with the base /stirling-image/, producing a double-prefixed
404 path. Remove the manual base so VitePress prepends it automatically.
- Add :cuda tag to Docker Tags docs with setup, benchmarks, compose example
- Add GPU acceleration tip to AI engine docs
- Include benchmark table from RTX 4070 testing
Both llms.txt and llms-full.txt incorrectly said MIT. Also added lite
variant mention to the description and a warning callout on the AI
engine docs page noting AI tools are unavailable in the lite image.
