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.
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
Add 12 tests for background-removal downscaling (resize gate, portrait
orientation, mask upscale) and OOM model fallback (retry with u2net,
progress callback, no-retry guards, cascading failure).
Add OOM propagation tests to face-detection, noise-removal,
red-eye-removal, and OCR -- the four AI features that were missing them.
