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.
Adds a Rounded Crop image tool for logo, favicon, and app-icon work. It masks the framed square to a rounded rectangle (with a corner-radius control) or an iOS-style squircle, reusing circle-crop's zoom/offset framing, border ring, background fill, and output-size options. Includes translations across all 21 locales.
Closes#601
Renames 18 ambiguous or hard-to-search tool names so image tools self-qualify like the other modalities ("Compress" becomes "Compress Image"), and cleans up a few awkward names. Propagated across search (constants.ts), display (en.ts + 20 locales), the OpenAPI base spec + 20 locale specs, and the docs tool-page headings in 21 languages. Removes the duplicate "Normalize Audio" summary shared by the video and audio endpoints. Tool ids and routes are unchanged, so no API paths or bookmarks break.
Adds a dedicated remove-gif-background AI tool: removes the background from an animated GIF, WebP, or APNG frame by frame and reassembles a transparent (or composited) animation in WebP, APNG, or GIF, with full per-frame effects. Reuses the background-removal bundle. Verified end-to-end with the real rembg model.
Closes#496.
The nightly Schemathesis job failed with a schema-loading error:
'unacceptable character #x0080: control characters are not allowed'. The
served openapi.yaml contained 215 em dashes (U+2014) and box-drawing
section dividers (U+2500); Schemathesis's strict YAML parser mis-decodes
those multi-byte UTF-8 sequences as C1 control chars and refuses to load
the schema, so no fuzz checks ran. (PyYAML is lenient, which is why the
local yaml.safe_load check passed.)
Replace every non-ASCII char with ASCII '-'. This also clears an
em-dash style-rule violation. Add a docs.test.ts guard asserting the
served spec is ASCII-only, with a clear message, so this can't regress.
Pre-existing issue (the dashes predate this branch); surfaced while
verifying CI is green.
