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.
Removes Sentry tracing entirely (BullMQ idle polling burned 4.8M transactions in 2 days at the baked 0.1 rate), decouples PostHog sampling, and replaces the type-only error scrub with a vetted-field sanitizer plus SafeError/ToolInputError contracts. One classified capture path with per-signature throttles and a per-process ceiling makes storms impossible (NODE-1E was 4,541 events from one 30s loop). Browser errors move to a dedicated web Sentry project with their own source maps. Adds the SNAPOTTER_TELEMETRY runtime kill switch and silences test fleets.
Crash fixes: remote 204/304 SSRF process kill (NODE-20), conversion-preset boot crash loop (NODE-21), Redis version preflight + unhandled subscribe rejection (NODE-1T), Sign PDF on plain-http origins (NODE-1K/1M), wavesurfer/pdf.js teardown rejections (NODE-1P/1N), bundle-import ZlibError to 400 (NODE-1Z), chart-maker input errors declassified (NODE-1H/1J), asset requests skip the session DB lookup (NODE-1D).
captureException now checks isRequestOptedIn before forwarding errors
to Sentry, closing a gap where server errors leaked to an external
service even when no user had consented. The PII scrubbing regex is
also fixed: he[ic]f? failed to match .heic due to word-boundary
behavior and is replaced with hei[cf]? which correctly covers .heic,
.heif, and .hei.
Adds 88 new analytics tests across unit, integration, and e2e layers
proving PostHog/Sentry are never invoked when analytics is disabled or
users have not consented, plus full 7-day reminder lifecycle coverage.
