SnapOtterandGitHub a731c3d1fe fix: reliable, self-healing AI feature-bundle installs (#472)
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.

Complete REST API reference. Tool endpoints, batch processing, pipelines, file library, authentication, teams, and admin operations.

REST API Reference

Interactive API docs with request/response examples are available at http://localhost:1349/api/docs.

Machine-readable specs:

  • /api/v1/openapi.yaml - OpenAPI 3.1 spec
  • /llms.txt - LLM-friendly summary
  • /llms-full.txt - Complete LLM-friendly docs

Authentication

All endpoints require authentication unless AUTH_ENABLED=false.

Session Token

# Login
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin"}'
# Returns: {"token":"<session-token>"}

# Use token
curl http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/resize \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <session-token>"

Sessions expire after 7 days (configurable via SESSION_DURATION_HOURS).

API Keys

# Create a key (returns key once - store it)
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <session-token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"my-script"}'
# Returns: {"key":"si_<96 hex chars>","id":"...","name":"my-script"}

# Use the key
curl http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/resize \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_<your-key>"

Keys are prefixed si_ and stored as scrypt hashes - the raw key is shown once and never retrievable again.

Auth Endpoints

Method Path Access Description
POST /api/auth/login Public Login, get session token
POST /api/auth/logout Auth Destroy current session
GET /api/auth/session Auth Validate current session
POST /api/auth/change-password Auth Change own password (invalidates all other sessions + API keys)
GET /api/auth/users Admin List all users
POST /api/auth/register Admin Create a new user
PUT /api/auth/users/:id Admin Update user role or team
POST /api/auth/users/:id/reset-password Admin Reset user's password
DELETE /api/auth/users/:id Admin Delete a user
GET /api/v1/config/auth Public Check if authentication is enabled ({ authEnabled: bool })
POST /api/auth/mfa/enroll Auth Start TOTP MFA enrollment. Requires the enterprise mfa feature
POST /api/auth/mfa/verify Auth Confirm MFA enrollment with a TOTP code
POST /api/auth/mfa/complete Public Complete a pending MFA login challenge
POST /api/auth/mfa/disable Auth Disable MFA for the current user
POST /api/auth/users/:id/mfa/reset Admin (users:manage) Reset MFA for a user
GET /api/auth/oidc/login Public Start OIDC login when OIDC is enabled
GET /api/auth/oidc/callback Public OIDC authorization callback
GET /api/auth/saml/metadata Public SAML SP metadata XML when SAML is enabled
GET /api/auth/saml/login Public Start SAML login
POST /api/auth/saml/callback Public SAML assertion consumer service

When MFA is enabled for a user, POST /api/auth/login returns {"requiresMfa":true,"mfaToken":"...","mfaRequired":true|false} instead of a session token. Send that mfaToken plus a TOTP or recovery code to /api/auth/mfa/complete.

Health Check

Method Path Access Description
GET /api/v1/health Public Basic health check. Returns {"status":"healthy","version":"..."} with 200, or {"status":"unhealthy"} with 503 if the database is unreachable.
GET /api/v1/readyz Public Readiness probe. Checks PostgreSQL, Redis, disk space, and S3 when configured. Returns 503 when the instance should not receive traffic.
GET /api/v1/admin/health Admin (system:health) Detailed diagnostics including uptime, storage mode, database status, queue state, and GPU availability.

Using Tools

Every tool follows the same pattern:

# Single file
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/<section>/<toolId> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -F "file=@input.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"width":800,"height":600}'

# Batch (returns ZIP)
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/<section>/<toolId>/batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -F "files=@a.jpg" \
  -F "files=@b.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={...}'

<section> is one of image, video, audio, pdf, or files.

  • Upload is multipart/form-data.
  • settings is a JSON string with tool-specific options.
  • clientJobId is an optional form field for caller-supplied progress correlation.
  • fileId is an optional form field referencing an existing file library item. When present, the processed output is saved as a new version and the response includes savedFileId.
  • Fast tools usually return 200 JSON: {"jobId":"...","downloadUrl":"/api/v1/download/<jobId>/<filename>","originalSize":1234,"processedSize":567}. Fetch the processed file from downloadUrl.
  • Any queued tool can return 202 JSON if it is long-running or exceeds the synchronous wait window: {"jobId":"...","async":true}. Connect to SSE for progress, then download when complete (see Progress Tracking).
  • Batch routes return a ZIP archive streamed directly (with X-Job-Id header) for tools registered in the generic batch registry.

Tools Reference

Conversion Presets

The shared catalog includes 83 dedicated conversion preset endpoints such as jpg-to-png, mov-to-mp4, m4a-to-mp3, pdf-to-jpg, and excel-to-csv. Presets are first-class tool routes:

POST /api/v1/tools/<section>/<presetId>

Each preset locks the output format and delegates to a base tool such as convert, convert-video, extract-audio, convert-audio, image-to-pdf, pdf-to-image, svg-to-raster, or convert-spreadsheet. See Conversion Presets for the complete route table and optional settings.

}

Tool Sub-Routes

Some tools expose additional endpoints beyond the standard POST /api/v1/tools/<section>/<toolId>:

Method Path Description
GET /api/v1/tools/popular Return popular tool IDs, falling back to a curated default list when usage data is sparse
POST /api/v1/tools/image/remove-background/effects Apply background effects (color/gradient/blur/shadow) without re-running AI. Uses cached mask from initial removal.
POST /api/v1/tools/image/edit-metadata/inspect Read existing EXIF/IPTC/XMP metadata from an image
POST /api/v1/tools/image/strip-metadata/inspect Inspect metadata fields before stripping
POST /api/v1/tools/image/passport-photo/analyze Phase 1: AI face detection + background removal. Returns face landmarks and cached data.
POST /api/v1/tools/image/passport-photo/generate Phase 2: Crop, resize, and tile using cached analysis. No AI re-run.
POST /api/v1/tools/image/gif-tools/info Get GIF metadata (frame count, dimensions, duration)
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-image/info Get PDF metadata (page count, dimensions)
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-image/preview Generate a preview of a specific PDF page
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-jpg/info Get PDF metadata for the dedicated JPG preset
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-jpg/preview Generate a JPG preset PDF page preview
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-png/info Get PDF metadata for the dedicated PNG preset
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-png/preview Generate a PNG preset PDF page preview
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-tiff/info Get PDF metadata for the dedicated TIFF preset
POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-tiff/preview Generate a TIFF preset PDF page preview

POST /api/v1/tools/image/image-enhancement/analyze Analyze image quality and return enhancement recommendations
POST /api/v1/tools/image/optimize-for-web/preview Lightweight preview for live parameter tuning. Returns optimized image with size headers.

Batch Processing

Apply a generic batch-enabled tool to multiple files at once. Returns a ZIP archive. Custom multi-file or multi-step routes, such as PDF signing, PDF OCR, and PDF-to-image preset routes, use their own endpoint contract instead of the generic /batch route.

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/compress/batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -F "files=@a.jpg" \
  -F "files=@b.jpg" \
  -F "files=@c.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"quality":80}'

Concurrency is controlled by CONCURRENT_JOBS (default: auto-detected from CPU cores). MAX_BATCH_SIZE limits the number of files per batch (default: 100; set 0 for unlimited).

Pipelines

Execute a pipeline

# Single file
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/pipeline/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -F "file=@input.jpg" \
  -F 'pipeline={"steps":[
    {"toolId":"resize","settings":{"width":1200}},
    {"toolId":"compress","settings":{"quality":80}},
    {"toolId":"watermark-text","settings":{"text":"© 2025"}}
  ]}'

# Batch (multiple files → ZIP)
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/pipeline/batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -F "files=@a.jpg" \
  -F "files=@b.jpg" \
  -F 'pipeline={"steps":[{"toolId":"resize","settings":{"width":800}}]}'

Each step's output is the next step's input. Pipelines allow 20 steps by default, configurable via MAX_PIPELINE_STEPS. Set MAX_PIPELINE_STEPS=0 to remove the limit.

Save and manage pipelines

Method Path Description
POST /api/v1/pipeline/save Save a named pipeline (name, description, steps[])
GET /api/v1/pipeline/list List saved pipelines (admins see all; users see own)
DELETE /api/v1/pipeline/:id Delete (owner or admin)
GET /api/v1/pipeline/tools List tool IDs valid for pipeline steps

Progress Tracking

Long-running jobs, queued tools, batch jobs, and pipelines emit real-time progress via Server-Sent Events. The progress stream is public and keyed by job ID, so clients do not need to send an Authorization header to read it.

# Connect to the SSE stream (jobId is in the JSON response body from the tool endpoint)
curl -N http://localhost:1349/api/v1/jobs/<jobId>/progress

Event format:

data: {"jobId":"...","type":"single","phase":"processing","stage":"Upscaling","percent":42}
data: {"jobId":"...","type":"single","phase":"complete","percent":100,"result":{"downloadUrl":"/api/v1/download/..."}}
data: {"jobId":"...","type":"batch","status":"processing","completedFiles":2,"totalFiles":5,"failedFiles":0,"errors":[]}

You can request cancellation for a queued or running job with POST /api/v1/jobs/:jobId/cancel. The response is {"canceled":true|false}.

File Library

Persistent file storage with version history.

Method Path Description
POST /api/v1/upload Upload files to workspace (temp processing)
POST /api/v1/files/upload Upload files to the persistent file library
POST /api/v1/files/save-result Save a tool processing result as a new file version
