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.
Found and fixed during a full local Docker build validation (amd64/arm64, all
four fleet targets, AI bundle installs, QA harness) and the follow-up bug
sweep requested afterward. None of the affected scripts run in CI, so these
had been silently broken indefinitely.
- docker/feature-manifest.json: pythonVersion was a flat "3.11", but the
amd64 base (Ubuntu 24.04) ships Python 3.12 while arm64 (Debian bookworm)
ships 3.11. Changed to a per-arch object matching the file's existing
convention.
- tests/qa/api-sweep.mts and verify-ai.mts: bare "@snapotter/shared" import
can't resolve since tests/ is not a pnpm workspace member, making both
silently unrunnable via their own documented command on any fresh
checkout. Switched to a relative import.
- tests/qa/generate-ledger.mts: wrote to docs/qa/ without creating the
directory first; docs/ is gitignored except COMMUNITY_GUIDE.md, so a fresh
checkout threw ENOENT.
- Seven QA Playwright spec files (input-preview, settings,
settings-extended, multifile, output-preview, pipeline-ui, smoke) had
~115 fixture() calls using directory names that don't exist. Resolved
every call programmatically against the real fixture tree.
- packages/ai/src/bridge.ts: AI dispatcher restart (happens on every bundle
install) was falsely counted as a crash, risking permanent dispatcher
disable after enough legitimate restarts within the crash window. Added a
shuttingDown flag checked at all three recordCrash() call sites.
- packages/image-engine/src/operations/auto-enhance.ts: image-enhancement
hung 40+ seconds on large RAW photos (confirmed on a real 20.2MP file) in
Sharp's .clahe() step, whose cost scales with total pixel count regardless
of tile size. Added a 16-megapixel cap above which CLAHE is skipped;
verified against the real file (40+s -> 2.0s) with no regression to other
RAW formats or normal-sized images. Fixing this surfaced a second,
smaller bug where the saturation step's CLAHE compensation boost was
keyed off the raw toggle instead of whether CLAHE actually ran.
- Two QA-harness robustness gaps closed per "fix everything, even the small
bugs": the passport-photo/erase-object input-preview tests now skip
cleanly with a clear reason on a container without their AI bundle
installed, and docker-compose.qa.yml's hardcoded project/container name
(the actual root cause of a mid-validation container swap between two
concurrent sessions) is now parameterized via QA_PROJECT_NAME.
Full validation report is local-only per repo convention.
Tool endpoints (/api/v1/tools/*) now honor the RATE_LIMIT_PER_MIN env var instead of a hardcoded 60/min: `0` disables per-tool limiting, `>0` uses the configured value, and unset falls back to 60. Merged on top of the section-based route refactor (#280).
Fixes#271.
