Thanks to every contributor: PRs, issues, reviews, translations, plugins, answered questions. This project runs on volunteer effort, not one person or one company. That's by design and it's why it's lasted.
Thanks to everyone running an instance: schools, newsrooms, gov departments, or just yourself. You trusted us with your documents. We don't take that lightly.
Thanks to the wider FOSS community. We've relied on other people's open source work more than we can credit individually, and tried to give some back. If you've never contributed to a FOSS project, this is your sign. Code, docs, translations, bug reports, or just running an instance and telling people about it, all of it counts.
The migration to modern JS tooling has been one of the best things to happen to this codebase. Easier to contribute to, easier to maintain, easier to build on, which is what matters for a 15+ year old project that intends to keep going.
Going forward: keep Etherpad boring, stable, self-hostable, no enshittification, while staying open to the plugins and integrations that make it useful. We need more maintainers and more instances. If that's you, open an issue.
Here's to the next 10,000. John McLear
* chore(deps): vendor the unmaintained `security` escaper into core
The `security` npm package (escapeHTML / escapeHTMLAttribute and the JS/CSS
encoders) has had no release since 2012, yet it sits directly in Etherpad's
client-side XSS-defense path (pad_utils, domline) and the server-side HTML
export. Rather than keep a 14-year-old, single-maintainer dependency guarding
output encoding, vendor its implementation into core.
- static/js/security.ts now contains the escaping logic directly (reproduced
verbatim from security@1.0.0, MIT, Chad Weider — byte-identical output) and
no longer does `require('security')`. The full public API is preserved, so
plugins that `require('ep_etherpad-lite/static/js/security')` keep working
unchanged.
- pad_utils.ts requires the local './security' module instead of the bare
'security' specifier (domline.ts and ExportHtml.ts already did).
- Drop `security` from src/package.json dependencies and from Minify's
LIBRARY_WHITELIST (no bare specifier is served to the browser anymore).
Added tests/backend/specs/security.ts locking the byte-for-byte escaping
output so the vendored copy can never silently drift.

* fix: use ESM named exports so vitest can resolve the security module
CI "Run the new vitest tests" failed with `Cannot find module './security'`
from pad_utils.ts. vitest/vite's CJS require() shim doesn't add a `.ts`
extension when resolving a relative specifier, so `require('./security')`
couldn't locate security.ts. (The old bare `require('security')` resolved to
a real .js in node_modules, which is why this only surfaced after vendoring.)
- security.ts now uses ESM `export const` for the seven helpers instead of a
`module.exports = {...}` block.
- pad_utils.ts imports it as `import * as Security from './security'`, which
goes through vite's resolver (knows .ts) and is also properly typed.
CJS consumers (domline.ts, ExportHtml.ts, the backend spec) keep working via
tsx/esbuild ESM->CJS interop. Verified: tsc clean, full vitest suite 721
passing, and the mocha security/export/import specs 27 passing.

* ci: force fresh run (prior run used a stale merge ref after reopen)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: remove ReDoS in vendored JSON-string-literal regex
CodeQL flagged a high-severity exponential-backtracking alert on the
JSON-string-literal regex vendored from the `security` package:
`/"(?:\\.|[^"])*"/`. The `[^"]` class also matches a backslash, so it overlaps
with the `\\.` alternative and backtracks exponentially on adversarial input
like `"\!\!\!...` (no closing quote). The original lived inside node_modules so
it was never scanned; vendoring it surfaced the alert.
Fix to the canonical linear form `/"(?:[^"\\]|\\.)*"/`, where the backslash is
excluded from the character class so the two alternatives are mutually
exclusive. It matches exactly the same well-formed JSON string literals (and
encodeJavaScriptData only ever runs it over JSON.stringify output), so behaviour
is unchanged for valid input.
Added tests: encodeJavaScriptData output + a ReDoS guard that runs the regex
over 50k adversarial chars and asserts it returns in well under a second.

* chore(deps): drop three unmaintained dependencies from core
Remove dependencies whose upstreams are effectively abandoned, replacing
each with a maintained alternative or native API. No behaviour change for
users; reduces the production dependency surface.
- unorm (last publish 2019): replace `UNorm.nfc(s)` in contentcollector
with native `String.prototype.normalize('NFC')`, available in every
supported Node and browser. Also drop it from Minify's LIBRARY_WHITELIST.
- find-root (last publish 2017): inline a ~10-line equivalent in
AbsolutePaths.findEtherpadRoot(), mirroring find-root's semantics
(closest ancestor containing package.json, throw if none).
- jsonminify (last publish 2021): swap settings parsing to jsonc-parser
(already used by the admin workspace, actively maintained). The old
`jsonminify(str).replace(',]', ']').replace(',}', '}')` had two bugs that
jsonc-parser's allowTrailingComma fixes: String#replace only swapped the
FIRST trailing comma of each kind, and the blind replace corrupted ',]' /
',}' byte sequences inside string values (e.g. URLs).
Added a regression test in settings.ts covering multiple trailing commas
and ',]'/',}' inside string values.

* fix: drop stale $unorm bundle entry from tar.json
The unorm removal left `$unorm/lib/unorm.js` listed in the ace2_inner.js
client bundle manifest. With unorm uninstalled, getTar() would point at a
node_modules asset that no longer exists, producing 404s when loading that
bundle. Nothing imports unorm anymore (contentcollector now uses native
String.prototype.normalize), so the entry is dead and removed.
Caught by Qodo review.

* fix: update container loadSettings helper to jsonc-parser
tests/container/loadSettings.js is a standalone helper (separate from
node/utils/Settings.ts) that parsed settings.json.docker with jsonminify
directly. Removing jsonminify from dependencies broke the container test
suite with MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Switch it to jsonc-parser to match Settings.ts.
Verified loadSettings() parses settings.json.docker and applies the
container ip/port overrides.

* docs: migrate useful wiki content into the VitePress manual (#7990)
The GitHub wiki is being retired; documentation should ship with the
software. This migrates the still-accurate, non-duplicate wiki pages into
the published VitePress site (doc/**/*.md + the sidebar in
doc/.vitepress/config.mts) so they are versioned, searchable and portable:
- deployment.md: reverse-proxy configs (Nginx/Apache/Caddy/Traefik/
HAProxy) with the WebSocket-upgrade rules, subdirectory hosting via
X-Proxy-Path, native HTTPS via the ssl block, a systemd unit, and the
Istio manifest (with the Redis-adapter multi-replica caveat).
- accessibility.md: editor keyboard shortcuts (verified against
ace2_inner.ts / broadcast_slider.ts / pad_editbar.ts), toolbar
navigation, NVDA notes.
- faq.md: install methods, URL-path reference, listing/deleting pads
(API-first), backup/restore, and history pruning.
- development.md: source-tree tour, the pad<->format conversion pipeline,
the internal DB API, and the Fontello toolbar-icon workflow.
- database.md: the key/value schema plus connecting MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis
backends and a pgloader MySQL->PostgreSQL migration (database docs were
previously absent from the VitePress site).
Every page was checked against the current source before inclusion:
corrected the apt instructions to the live signed repo (stable/main,
signed-by key), dropped the unpublished snap, fixed the Redis dbSettings
(flat host/port/password or url, not the obsolete client_options),
dropped charset from the PostgreSQL example, and removed a phantom
getEtherpad API reference. The VitePress site builds cleanly
(pnpm run docs:build) with the dead-link checker enabled.

* docs: add verified hands-on changeset/atext walkthrough (#7990)
Migrate the practical Changeset-library tutorial from the wiki into
changeset_library.md, rewritten against the current API: unpack(),
deserializeOps() (replacing the deprecated opIterator) and
new AttributePool() (replacing the removed AttributePoolFactory). Every
example output was produced by running the code against the current
Changeset.ts / AttributePool.ts, not copied from the wiki. Also fixes a
stale ether/etherpad-lite source link.

* fix(import): correct outdated import-format help message (#7988)
The import dialog's "no converter" notice claimed only plain text and
HTML could be imported and linked users to the legacy AbiWord wiki page,
prompting them to install LibreOffice for formats that already work
natively.
Etherpad imports .txt, .html, .docx (via mammoth) and .etherpad files
without LibreOffice; only .pdf/.odt/.doc/.rtf still need it. Update the
message to say so and move the help link to the ether/etherpad org.

Both scripts still called the pre-v6 callback-style ueberdb2 API, producing
type errors (masked in places by `// @ts-ignore`) against the current
promise-based signatures (`set(key, value)`, `init()`, `close()` — no
callback/extra args):
importSqlFile.ts(73) initDb(null) Expected 0 arguments, but got 1
migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB.ts(51) db.set(k,v,bcb,wcb) Expected 2 arguments, but got 4
migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB.ts(56) db.close(null) Expected 0 arguments, but got 1
migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB.ts(57) dirty.close(null) Expected 0 arguments, but got 1
- importSqlFile: drop the unused `util` import and the `util.promisify`
wrappers; `await db.init()`, `await db.set(...)`, `await db.close()`
directly. Removes two `// @ts-ignore` that were hiding the broken calls.
- migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB: replace the bcb/wcb callback machinery with
`await db.set(key, value)` in the loop and call `close()` with no args.
Also fixes the progress log which referenced an undefined `length`
instead of `keys.length`.
Pure type/correctness cleanup; behaviour is unchanged (writes are now
awaited, which is equivalent or safer). `tsc --noEmit` on the bin package
is now clean.

`bin/migrateDB.ts` opens a source and target ueberdb2 Database, copies all
keys, then resolves without closing either connection or calling
process.exit(). Two problems with ueberdb2 6.1.x:
- 6.1.x keeps an internal keep-alive timer running until close() is called,
so the migration process hangs forever after "Done syncing dbs" instead
of exiting. (Pre-6.1.x it exited on its own once the work was done.)
- Target writes are buffered and only guaranteed flushed to disk on close()
/flush(), so an operator who Ctrl-Cs the apparently-finished process could
end up with an incomplete migration.
Close the target then the source on both the success and error paths (which
flushes buffered writes and clears the keep-alive timer) and exit with an
explicit status code, matching the pattern already used in
migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB.ts.

The "Installer test" workflow has hung for 6 hours (until GitHub's job
ceiling cancels it) on every ubuntu/macos run since v3.2.0. The smoke
test starts `pnpm run prod` in the background, confirms /api responds,
then tears it down with:
kill "$PID"
wait "$PID"
`pnpm run prod` is a nested launcher (pnpm -> pnpm --filter -> node), so
$PID is only the outer pnpm. SIGTERM is forwarded down the chain and the
script then `wait`s on it, but if the node server doesn't exit (e.g. a
live flush timer keeping the event loop alive) the wait blocks forever
and the step never releases its output pipe -> 6h hang. Windows passed
because it uses `Stop-Process -Force`.
Fix the teardown to be robust regardless of server shutdown behaviour:
- `set -m` so the launcher gets its own process group
- kill the whole group (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL fallback) via a trap
- drop the blocking `wait`
- add `timeout-minutes: 8` to both smoke steps as a hard backstop so a
future hang fails in minutes, not 6 hours
This unblocks CI on PRs that touch the installer workflow. The
underlying clean-shutdown regression (server not exiting on SIGTERM,
likely the ueberDB flush-timer setInterval) is tracked separately.

The releaseEtherpad workflow renames ep_etherpad-lite -> ep_etherpad and
publishes ./src to npm, but that publish is not load-bearing:
- `ep_etherpad` has 0 dependents on npm; nothing in this repo depends on it.
- Plugins import `ep_etherpad-lite` resolved from the LOCAL core install, and
plugin CI clones `ether/etherpad` rather than `npm install`-ing core.
- Etherpad is run via git clone / Docker / zip / snap, never `npm install`.
It has been failing with E404 (the ep_etherpad package has no OIDC trusted
publisher configured on npmjs.com), which is why npm is stuck at 2.5.0 while
3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3 shipped fine without it.
Rather than chase a trusted-publisher setup for a publish nobody consumes,
park the workflow: gate the job behind an explicit `confirm: true` dispatch
input so a stray run fails fast with a clear message instead of a confusing
404, and document the status in the header + the AGENTS.MD Releasing section.
This is the package owner's (samtv12345) call: either finish the trusted-
publisher config to revive it, or remove the workflow. Parked pending that
decision; nothing about the release depends on it.

* fix(pad): keep token-less Delete pad reachable without pad-wide settings (#7959)
The token-less "Delete pad" button (#delete-pad) was nested inside the
enablePadWideSettings-gated pad-settings section, so disabling pad-wide
settings removed the only way to delete a pad without a recovery token.
Combined with #7926 hiding the token disclosure when deletion needs no
token (e.g. allowPadDeletionByAllUsers), a user who was allowed to delete
could be left with no deletion UI at all.
Pad deletion is unrelated to pad-wide settings, so:
- Move #delete-pad out of the enablePadWideSettings block in pad.html; it
is now always rendered and hidden by default.
- Add a canDeletePad clientVar (isCreator || allowPadDeletionByAllUsers)
and drive the button's visibility from it in pad_editor.ts, mirroring the
existing canDeleteWithoutToken handling for the token disclosure.
The two controls are now mutually coherent and neither depends on
enablePadWideSettings: the plain button shows when this session can delete
without a token, the recovery-token disclosure shows otherwise.
Tests:
- backend padDeletionUiPlacement.ts: #delete-pad is rendered with
enablePadWideSettings both on and off (fails without the template move).
- backend socketio.ts: canDeletePad reflects the creator/allow-all matrix,
including a non-creator who only gains it under allowPadDeletionByAllUsers.
- frontend pad_settings.spec.ts: asserts #delete-pad is no longer a
descendant of #pad-settings-section.

* fix(pad): never let readonly sessions delete via token-less paths (#7959)
Qodo review of #7960: `canDeletePad` was `isCreator || allowPadDeletionByAllUsers`,
so under allowPadDeletionByAllUsers a readonly viewer received
canDeletePad=true and the relocated #delete-pad button unhid for them.
Worse, the server-side handlePadDelete `flagOk`/`creatorOk` branches never
checked session.readonly either, so a readonly-link holder could actually
delete the pad without a token — a data-loss hole that the new always-rendered
button would expose.
Exclude readonly sessions from both the clientVar and the server's token-less
authorization paths. A valid recovery token (tokenOk) stays a sufficient
credential regardless of session mode.
Test: socketio.ts asserts a readonly viewer gets canDeletePad=false and that a
token-less PAD_DELETE from a readonly session leaves the pad intact (red before
this change on the clientVar assertion).

Pin the transitive @opentelemetry/core dep (pulled in via
@elastic/elasticsearch -> @elastic/transport) to >=2.8.0 to clear
GHSA-8988-4f7v-96qf / CVE-2026-54285: W3CBaggagePropagator.extract()
did not enforce W3C size limits on inbound baggage headers, allowing
unbounded memory allocation. @elastic/transport declares the dep as
"2.x" so 2.8.0 satisfies the existing range with no parent bump, and
2.8.0's @opentelemetry/api peer range (>=1.0.0 <1.10.0) is satisfied
by the 1.9.1 already in the tree.
Override added to pnpm-workspace.yaml alongside the other CVE
force-bumps (pnpm 11 ignores root package.json pnpm.overrides).

ueberdb2 6.1.10 rewrote the cache/buffer layer (CacheAndBufferLayer.ts),
replacing the constructor's always-on, *referenced* `setInterval` flush timer
with a lazily-armed `setTimeout` that is `.unref()`'d and only created when
there are dirty keys. On a fresh, empty dirty DB there are no dirty keys, so no
flush timer is ever armed and ueberdb2 no longer anchors Node's event loop. In
the packaged (.deb/systemd) production boot this exposes a startup window where
the loop has no referenced handle and the process exits cleanly (code 0) before
`server.listen()` binds the port — so the server never serves /health.
Symptom on develop: the Debian-package amd64 smoke test failed on three
consecutive pushes (#7966 ueberdb2 6.1.9->6.1.12, then #7965, #7967), with the
service logging the version banner then "Deactivated successfully" and the
health check on :9001 never connecting. Backend/Docker/downstream-smoke stayed
green because they keep the loop alive by other means; only the bare
fresh-empty-dirty-DB packaged boot hits the gap. ueberdb2 6.1.12 is the latest
published release, so there is no fixed version to roll forward to yet — pin
back to the last green release (6.1.9) on both src/ and bin/.
Also add a `pull_request` trigger to the Debian-package workflow (scoped to the
same production-footprint paths). The smoke step is the only check that catches
this "boots then exits before binding" class of regression, but it previously
ran only on push to develop — i.e. *after* merge — which is exactly why the
Dependabot bump turned develop red instead of being blocked at PR time. The
release/apt-publish jobs are tag-guarded, so PRs run the build+smoke job only.

* PadManager: reject unreachable '.' and '..' pad ids
isValidPadId accepted pad ids that consist only of URL dot-segments
('.' and '..'). Per the WHATWG URL standard a browser normalises
"/p/." to "/p/" and "/p/.." to "/", so such a pad can never be opened
or exported: the request arrives at "/p/" and Etherpad answers
"Cannot GET /p/". The pad is created in the database but is forever
unreachable.
Reject these ids in isValidPadId so the broken pads can no longer be
created, and add a regression test that fails without the fix.
* adminsettings: allow deleting legacy '.'/'..' pads
The isValidPadId tightening makes getPad() reject the pad ids '.' and
'..', which also blocks their deletion: a pad with such an id created
before the change still exists (doesPadExists is true), so the admin
deletePad handler takes the "healthy" branch where getPad() now throws.
The outer catch swallowed that error without emitting a terminal
results:deletePad, leaving an undeletable orphan in the admin UI.
Fall back to the existing raw key purge when getPad() throws, so these
pads can still be removed. Adds a regression test.
* tests: run the isValidPadId regression under the mocha suite
The original unit test lived in the vitest backend-new suite, but PadManager
loads DB, Pad and customError with CommonJS require() at import time. Under
vitest those require() calls are resolved by Node natively and fail on the .ts
sources ("Cannot find module '../utils/customError'"); vi.mock could not
intercept them, so the suite errored before any test ran. It also used a
top-level `await import`, which tripped tsc TS1378 under the project tsconfig.
Move the test to the mocha backend suite, which runs with --import=tsx and
resolves the .ts requires natively, so PadManager can be required directly with
no mocking. isValidPadId is a pure function and DB only connects lazily in
DB.init(), so loading the module has no side effects and no database is needed.
* deps: resolve open Dependabot security alerts
Bump transitive dependencies flagged by Dependabot via pnpm-workspace
overrides. Refreshes stale override floors that the advisory ranges have
since grown past, and adds overrides for newly-flagged packages:
- form-data -> >=4.0.6 (GHSA-hmw2-7cc7-3qxx, high)
- ws -> >=8.21.0 (GHSA-96hv-2xvq-fx4p / GHSA-58qx-3vcg-4xpx, high/med)
- esbuild -> >=0.28.1 (GHSA-gv7w-rqvm-qjhr / GHSA-g7r4-m6w7-qqqr, high/low)
- basic-ftp -> >=5.3.1 (GHSA-rpmf-866q-6p89, high) [stale floor: 5.3.0 still vuln]
- tar -> >=7.5.16 (GHSA-vmf3-w455-68vh, med) [stale floor: 7.5.11]
- js-yaml -> >=4.2.0 (GHSA-h67p-54hq-rp68, med) [stale floor: 4.1.1 now vuln]
- qs -> >=6.15.2 (GHSA-q8mj-m7cp-5q26, med) [stale floor: 6.14.2 still vuln]
- ip-address -> >=10.1.1 (GHSA-v2v4-37r5-5v8g, med)
- @babel/core-> >=7.29.6 (GHSA-4x5r-pxfx-6jf8, low)

pass locally on Node 24.

* deps: cap basic-ftp override to 5.x to avoid major bump
Qodo flagged the open-ended `basic-ftp@<5.3.1: '>=5.3.1'` override as
resolving to 6.0.1 (a surprise major) on the runtime plugin-install path
(live-plugin-manager -> proxy-agent -> get-uri -> basic-ftp). The CVE fix
(5.3.1) exists on the 5.x line, so bound the override to '>=5.3.1 <6.0.0'
for the minimal, lowest-risk patch. Now resolves to basic-ftp@5.3.1.

* feat(pad): suppress deletion token for durable identities; relabel recovery action (#7926)
Builds on the allowPadDeletionByAllUsers suppression with the rest of the
ideas discussed on the issue.
Server (handleClientReady):
- A creator's deletion token is now also withheld when they have a *durable*
identity: authenticated (req.session.user with a username) AND the deployment
pins that identity to a stable authorID via a getAuthorId hook. Only then does
the creator path (author === revision-0 author) survive a cookie clear or a
different device, making the recovery token redundant.
- This deliberately tightens the previous `requireAuthentication => always
suppress` rule: without a getAuthorId hook the authorID still comes from the
per-browser token cookie, so an authenticated user on a second device is NOT
the creator. Withholding the token there would strand them, so they now keep
getting one. SSO deployments using the documented getAuthorId pattern get the
clean no-modal experience.
- New `canDeleteWithoutToken` clientVar (allowPadDeletionByAllUsers OR durable
identity) drives the client label.
Client (pad_editor.ts):
- When canDeleteWithoutToken, the recovery-token disclosure summary is labelled
plainly "Delete Pad" (reusing the already-translated pad.settings.deletePad
key) instead of the jargon "Delete with token".
Tests (socketio.ts): anonymous -> token; allowPadDeletionByAllUsers -> none;
authenticated without a getAuthorId hook -> token; authenticated with one ->
none. Verified in a browser for both label/modal outcomes.

* fix(pad): render recovery disclosure for all sessions; hide it (not relabel) when no token is needed
Addresses Qodo review on #7930:
1. Token UI fully suppressed when not needed (was: only the summary relabelled).
When canDeleteWithoutToken (allowPadDeletionByAllUsers or a durable identity),
pad_editor.ts now hides the whole #delete-pad-with-token disclosure — label,
token field and submit — so no deletion-token wording remains. With the plain
"Delete Pad" button present this is also the cleaner UX.
2. Recovery disclosure no longer gated on !requireAuthentication. Because a token
can now be issued under requireAuthentication when the deployment lacks a
durable getAuthorId mapping, the template must render the recovery form there
too — otherwise an authenticated creator gets a token with no UI to enter it
on another device. It is rendered hidden by default and shown by the client
only when canDeleteWithoutToken is false.
3. API.createPad aligned: also returns null deletionToken under
allowPadDeletionByAllUsers, matching the socket/UI path.
Tests: deletePad.ts gains a createPad-under-allowPadDeletionByAllUsers case.
Verified live in Chromium: allowAll -> disclosure hidden, no modal; default
anonymous -> disclosure visible, modal shown.

* feat(settings): env-var overrides for update-check/plugin-catalog/updater (offline installs)
Air-gapped and firewalled deployments could not disable Etherpad's outbound
calls (the hourly version check, the admin plugin catalogue, and the
self-updater) without editing settings.json inside the container image — the
shipped settings.json.docker hardcoded updates.tier and omitted the privacy
block entirely, so there was no env-var to flip.
Wire the relevant keys through the existing ${ENV:default} substitution in both
settings.json.docker and settings.json.template:
- PRIVACY_UPDATE_CHECK (privacy.updateCheck, default true)
- PRIVACY_PLUGIN_CATALOG (privacy.pluginCatalog, default true)
- UPDATES_TIER (updates.tier, default notify; "off" = no calls)
- UPDATES_SOURCE / UPDATES_CHANNEL / UPDATES_CHECK_INTERVAL_HOURS /
UPDATES_GITHUB_REPO / UPDATES_REQUIRE_ADMIN_FOR_STATUS (docker)
- UPDATE_SERVER (updateServer endpoint)
Document the full set in doc/docker.md (new "Updates & privacy" section) and
cross-link from doc/admin/updates.md. Add backend regression tests that parse
the shipped settings.json.docker and settings.json.template and assert the
overrides apply with correct boolean/numeric coercion, so a future edit that
drops the ${ENV} placeholders fails loudly.
Addresses #7911 (item 2). No code changes — config + docs + tests only.

- Outbound-call docs/comments referenced doc/privacy.md (the storage/logging
doc); the canonical outbound-call inventory is repo-root PRIVACY.md, which the
runtime messages in UpdateCheck.ts / Settings.ts also reference. Re-point
settings.json.{template,docker} and doc/docker.md there.
- doc/admin/updates.md said updates.tier="off" means "no HTTP request will leave
the instance", but the legacy UpdateCheck.ts call to ${updateServer}/info.json
is gated by privacy.updateCheck, not updates.tier. Clarify that air-gapped
installs must set PRIVACY_UPDATE_CHECK=false too.

* docs: link PRIVACY.md via absolute URL to satisfy VitePress dead-link check
PRIVACY.md lives at the repo root, outside the doc/ tree VitePress builds, so a
relative link to it (../PRIVACY.md / ../../PRIVACY.md) is flagged as a dead link
and fails `docs:build`. Use the absolute GitHub URL instead, matching how
doc/configuration.md already links settings.json.template.

* test(timeslider): port legacy mocha specs to Playwright, retire orphaned suite
The legacy src/tests/frontend/specs/ mocha suite is run by no CI workflow,
so its timeslider coverage was dead — a regression in the in-pad history UI
(#7659/#7946) sailed through CI. Port the still-meaningful cases to
frontend-new Playwright specs, re-targeted at the real in-pad UI (outer
banner / slider / export links that pad_mode.ts drives) rather than the
isolated ?embed=1 iframe the existing specs use:
- timeslider_revision_labels.spec.ts (from timeslider_labels.js): the
#history-banner shows 'Version N' + a valid (non-NaN) date and timer, and
both update when scrubbing to revision 0.
- timeslider_export_links.spec.ts (from timeslider_numeric_padID.js and the
'checks the export url' case of timeslider_revisions.js): the outer export
hrefs target /p/<pad>/<rev>/export/<type> for the viewed revision, including
a numeric pad id, and follow the slider to revision 0.
- timeslider_deeplink.spec.ts (from the 'jumps to a revision given in the url'
case): a #rev/N hash — and the legacy #N shortlink form — boots straight
into history mode at that revision.
Delete the three now-ported legacy specs. Verified passing on Chromium and
Firefox. The star-marker case of timeslider_revisions.js is already covered by
timeslider_saved_revisions.spec.ts (#7948).

* test(timeslider): make deep-link spec robust on Firefox
Assert the canonical #rev/0 URL and the slider landing on revision 0 rather
than the #history-banner-rev label text. The banner label is populated via a
MutationObserver bridge that races the iframe load on the bootstrap path in
Firefox (it is already covered for the normal button-entry flow by
timeslider_revision_labels.spec.ts); the URL + slider value are the
deterministic signals that the deep link entered history at the right revision.

* test(timeslider): address Qodo review on #7949
- Pin locale to en-US in the revision-labels spec so the localized 'Version N'
label and 'Saved <Month> <day>, <year>' date assertions are deterministic and
the date stays Date-parseable, instead of depending on the runner's locale.
- Use a high-entropy numeric pad id (timestamp + random) in the export-links
spec so reruns against a persistent DB can't collide on the same pad.

* fix(pad): show saved-revision markers in in-pad history mode (#7946)
When #7659 moved the timeslider into the pad as an embedded iframe, the
user-facing control became the outer #history-slider-input range input.
The saved-revision stars are still drawn by broadcast_slider.ts into the
iframe's #ui-slider-bar, but that DOM is hidden in embed mode, and
pad_mode.ts bridged rev/max/value/timer/authors to the outer slider but
never the saved revisions. Result: clicking "Save Revision" appeared to
work but no markers showed in the timeslider (regression in 3.3.x).
Bridge the embedded timeslider's clientVars.savedRevisions onto the outer
slider as percentage-positioned star markers, rendered on first sync and
re-rendered when the slider max changes. Markers are a purely visual,
aria-hidden overlay (keyboard/SR users already reach any revision via the
slider + step buttons) with a click-to-seek convenience for mouse users.
Adds a frontend-new Playwright spec exercising the real user flow (save a
revision in the pad, enter in-pad history mode, assert a visible marker on
the outer slider). The only prior coverage lived in the legacy mocha
suite (src/tests/frontend/specs/timeslider_revisions.js) which no CI
workflow runs, and the modern timeslider specs drive the ?embed=1 iframe
directly and never exercise the outer history UI — so this regression was
invisible to CI.

* fix(pad): live saved-revision markers + Qodo review fixes (#7946)
Address Qodo review on #7948:
- Live updates (bug 1): the server's SAVE_REVISION handler never broadcast
NEW_SAVEDREV, so the client handler that adds a star was dead and no open
timeslider ever updated live. Wire it up: Pad.addSavedRevision returns the
new revision (undefined on duplicate); handleSaveRevisionMessage broadcasts
NEW_SAVEDREV to the pad room. pad_mode.ts now sources outer markers from the
embedded slider's live #ui-slider-bar .star DOM (labels from clientVars) and
observes that bar so a revision saved by a collaborator appears on an
already-open history slider. Live editors ignore the unknown message type.
- Single-revision pad (bug 2): allow max === 0 so a revision saved at rev 0
still renders a marker instead of being cleared by the old max <= 0 guard.
- Test rigor (bug 3): assert the marker's inline left percentage directly
instead of falling back to a layout coordinate, which let left:0% pass.
Adds a two-client Playwright test for the live path (verified it fails with
the server broadcast removed). Backend Pad + pad API specs (88) still pass.

Bumps ueberdb2 6.1.8 -> 6.1.9 (postgres pool-error handling + TCP

* fix(admin): don't let one unreadable pad empty the Manage-pads list (#7935)
The admin /settings `padLoad` handler hydrates every pad via getPad() to
build the listing (the default lastEdited sort forces a full scan).
findKeys('pad:*','*:*:*') returns every key under the `pad:` prefix,
including legacy/foreign or migration-corrupted records — e.g. a value
stored as a JSON string rather than a pad object, which a botched
dirty.db -> PostgreSQL migration produces. Loading such a record makes
Pad.init throw `Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'pool'`.
The handler had no try/catch, so one bad record rejected the whole
request: no `results:padLoad` was emitted (the SPA showed an empty
"No results" state forever — the reported symptom) and the unhandled
rejection could exit the server.
Make loadMeta resilient — a failed getPad() logs a warning and returns
zeroed metadata so the bad pad still surfaces for deletion instead of
hiding every other pad — and wrap the handler so it always emits a
terminal reply and never bubbles to the process-level handler.
Tests:
- backend: tests/backend/specs/admin/padLoadResilience.ts asserts a
corrupt pad:* record no longer hides the readable pads (fails without
the fix: no results:padLoad reply + server exit).
- e2e: tests/frontend-new/admin-spec/admin_pads_page.spec.ts covers
create pad -> welcome-page recent-pads -> /admin Manage-pads UI.

* fix(admin): sanitize padLoad error logs to avoid leaking pad content
Qodo review: the error logs (and the error field returned to the SPA)
used `${err}` / err.message verbatim. For the corruption case the
TypeError message embeds the raw stored value ("...'pool' in <value>"),
which for a real pad can be document text — so logging it verbatim could
leak content, bloat logs, and let embedded newlines forge log lines.
Add a safeErr() helper (error name + single-line, 120-char-capped
message, control chars stripped) and use it in both the per-pad warning
and the outer handler error log, and for the error field emitted to the
client.

* fix(admin): make surfaced corrupt pads deletable from the admin UI
Qodo review: padLoad now surfaces unreadable pad:* records (zeroed
metadata) so admins can delete them, but deletePad's normal path
(doesPadExists -> getPad -> Pad.remove) can't touch such a record:
doesPadExists() returns false for a non-object value and getPad() throws,
so the surfaced pad was effectively undeletable and the handler emitted
nothing.
When doesPadExists() is false but a raw `pad:${id}` value is present,
fall back to a raw key purge: sweep sub-keys (revs/chat/deletionToken/…)
via findKeys, drop the readonly mapping, then padManager.removePad()
(which removes the main key + pad-list + cache entry). Always emit a
terminal results:deletePad reply (including for an already-absent id) so
the UI clears the row instead of silently doing nothing, and wrap the
handler so failures are logged (sanitized) rather than swallowed.
Adds a backend test asserting a surfaced corrupt pad can be deleted and
disappears from the listing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(admin): assert corrupt-pad delete via listing, not raw db.get
The delete test probed `db.get('pad:<id>')` for null right after deletePad.
That passed on postgres but failed on the dirty backend (Windows CI):
ueberdb2's per-backend read/write buffering can return the just-removed
value immediately after remove(), so it asserted storage internals rather
than behaviour. The deletion is still durable (same db.remove() every pad
uses; the in-memory pad-list entry is dropped synchronously). Assert the
behavioural outcome instead — the corrupt pad disappears from the padLoad
listing while the good pad remains.

When `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers` is true, anyone can delete a pad with no
token at all (handlePadDelete's flagOk branch), so the one-time deletion
token is pointless and the "Save your pad deletion token" modal only
overwhelms users who will never need it.
Gate token issuance on `!settings.allowPadDeletionByAllUsers` so no token
reaches clientVars; the client's showDeletionTokenModalIfPresent() then
returns early and the modal never appears. No new setting — it derives
automatically from the existing one.
Closes#7926.

The numbered-list branch of `domline.appendSpan` interpolated the line's
`start` attribute value into an `<ol start=...>` tag unquoted and unescaped,
then assigned the result to `node.innerHTML`. The value comes verbatim from
the attribute pool, which an attacker can populate via a crafted `.etherpad`
import (`ImportEtherpad.setPadRaw` validates attribute keys but not values).
A space-free value such as `1><svg/onload=...>` therefore broke out of the
tag and produced a live element, executing attacker JavaScript in the pad's
origin for every subsequent viewer of the pad or timeslider.
An `<ol>` start is only ever an integer, so coerce it with `Number.parseInt`,
omit the attribute entirely when the value is not a number, and HTML-escape +
quote it (the same `Security.escapeHTMLAttribute` treatment the sibling
`listType` class already gets, and that #7905 applied to the export sink).
Adds a backend regression test that drives the real domline render path
through jsdom and asserts the malicious value cannot produce a live element.

* fix(pad): show detected language in settings dropdown (#7925)
When the UI language was auto-detected from the browser (no language
cookie and no pad-wide lang set), refreshMyViewControls() and
refreshPadSettingsControls() set the language dropdown to
`<option>.lang || 'en'`. Since the detected language lives only in
html10n (not in padOptions/effectiveOptions), the value was undefined
and the dropdown fell back to hardcoded English — even though the pad
UI itself rendered correctly in the detected language.
Fall back to html10n.getLanguage() before 'en' so the dropdown reflects
the language actually rendered. getLanguage() returns the matched
lowercase locale key, which matches the <option value> keys.
Adds a regression test that loads a pad under a de-DE browser locale and
asserts the dropdown reads "Deutsch" without any manual selection.

The OP still saw a white strip above the dark pad on iOS Safari even with the
theme-color metas in place. theme-color only tints the address-bar chrome;
the status-bar safe area at the very top is painted by iOS from the ROOT
canvas background. The colibris background variants only colour inner
containers (#editorcontainerbox, body descendants), leaving <html> and <body>
transparent (computed rgba(0,0,0,0)) with color-scheme: normal — so the canvas
fell back to the UA light default (white). Android tints its chrome from
theme-color, which is why it looked fine there but iOS did not.
Paint the <html> root per toolbar variant with the toolbar colour (matching
theme-color and the OP's request that the bar match the toolbar) and set
color-scheme so the safe area, toolbar, and address bar are one seamless
colour. Verified in a mobile viewport: dark-OS root background is now
rgb(72,83,101) (#485365, == --super-dark-color, the toolbar colour); light-OS
stays white. Colours mirror skin_toolbar_colors.ts.

* ci(downstream): robust per-client error handling in run-clients.sh (Qodo)
- Move clone/fetch/checkout inside the per-client guarded block with explicit
'|| exit 1' on every step. set -e is suspended inside a subshell used as an
'||' operand, so relying on it silently swallowed clone/checkout failures
(and continued from the wrong cwd); explicit guards make one client's failure
a per-client fail=1 while the loop continues, and the run exits non-zero.
- Stop suppressing fetch errors; fetch only when the pinned commit isn't already
reachable, and surface the real error.
- Run manifest commands via 'bash -c' instead of 'eval' (trusted in-repo
allowlist; avoids double-parsing / leaking into this script's shell).
Verified: two bogus clients -> both reported, loop continues, exit 1; happy
path (cli, no server) -> vectors pass, smoke skips, exit 0.

Implements the per-kind orchestration (clone @ pinned ref, inject core's
freshly-generated wire-vectors fixture via ETHERPAD_WIRE_VECTORS, run each
client's vectorTest + smokeCmd against the booted server) in a testable
run-clients.sh, and flips the three manifest entries to enabled, pinned to the
commits that carry their Phase 2 tests:
ether/pad#1, ether/etherpad-cli-client#136, ether/etherpad-desktop#78.
Validated end-to-end locally against a real core: all three clients' vectors +
live smoke pass. Refs should be bumped to the squash-merge commits once those
client PRs land.

The `# 3.3.0` changelog section was written before ~8 commits landed on
develop. #7909 (dark mode) and #7918/#7911 (offline Docker boot) were already
captured; this adds the remaining user-facing change and dependency bumps so
the 3.3.0 release notes are complete:
- Notable fixes: #7910 — Firefox authorship-colour flake (early keystrokes
tagged author='' before the async userAuthor propagated, producing an
unattributed insert the pad-corruption guard rejected).
- Dependencies: mysql2 →3.22.5 (#7915), undici →8.4.1 (#7914), pdfkit
→0.19.0 (#7916), @radix-ui/react-switch →1.3.0 (#7913), and the extra
dev-dependency group bump (#7912).

* chore(release): remove deprecated bin/createRelease.sh
This script has carried a "DEPRECATED since Etherpad 1.7.0 (2018-08-17),
left here just for documentation" banner for years and is dead code:
- It authenticates to the GitHub API with the `?access_token=` query
parameter, which GitHub removed in 2021 — every API call (token check,
branch merge, release publish) now fails outright.
- It targets the old `ether/etherpad-lite` repo paths and calls
`bin/buildForWindows.sh` / `make docs`, neither of which is how releases
are built anymore.
- Nothing references it (no workflow, script, or doc).
The current release flow is the "Release etherpad" workflow
(.github/workflows/release.yml) driving bin/release.ts, then the tag-push
triggers handleRelease.yml + releaseEtherpad.yml. createRelease.sh only adds
confusion, so remove it.

* docs(agents): document the release procedure and docs publishing
Add a "Releasing" section to AGENTS.MD so maintainers have a single

Covers:
- Prerequisites: the CHANGELOG `# X.Y.Z` guard, and the requirement that all
four package.json files agree (release.ts reads the current version from
src/package.json) — the desync that blocked the 3.3.0 release.
- The one-dispatch flow: "Release etherpad" -> bin/release.ts -> tag push,
and what the vX.Y.Z tag auto-triggers (handleRelease GitHub Release,
docker, snap-publish), plus the separate manual npm publish dispatch.
- Documentation: the two distinct kinds of doc work — per-PR doc/ updates in
behaviour-change PRs, and the automated release-time versioned-docs publish
into the ether.github.com sibling repo.

* fix(docker): don't let pnpm self-provision a pinned version on offline boot (#7911)
The official Docker image installs pnpm directly via npm (corepack was dropped
for Node 25+). Standalone pnpm still honours the "packageManager" pin in
package.json: the image's pnpm intentionally lags that pin (pnpm 11.1.x enforces
a minimum-release-age policy the frozen-lockfile build can't satisfy), so pnpm
treats every invocation — including the informational `pnpm --version` probe
Etherpad runs at startup — as a request to download and run the pinned build.
Behind a corporate firewall / in an air-gapped install that download fails:
[WARN] plugins - Failed to get pnpm version: Error: Command exited with
code 1: pnpm --version
which is what #7911 reported.
Fix — neutralise the gap instead of closing it (closing it would break the
frozen-lockfile build on 11.1.x):
- Dockerfile build stage sets `pnpm_config_pm_on_fail=ignore` (the pnpm 11
successor to managePackageManagerVersions), inherited by the development and
production runtime stages. pnpm then uses the installed pnpm instead of
fetching the pinned one. It does not change which pnpm runs the build-time
install, so the frozen-lockfile build is unaffected.
- plugins.ts startup probe and the updater's pnpm-on-PATH checks run with the
same flag, so the fix also covers non-Docker offline installs and the probe
can never fail-loud.
Add a backend spec that fails CI if the offline guard is dropped while the image
pnpm differs from the package.json pin.
Verified with a standalone (non-corepack) pnpm: a "packageManager" mismatch
makes `pnpm --version` exit 1 by default (tries to fetch the pinned build), and
exit 0 reading the local version with pm_on_fail=ignore.

* test: scope pnpm offline-guard check to the runtime-inherited build stage
Address Qodo review: the regression spec matched ENV pnpm_config_pm_on_fail
anywhere in the Dockerfile, so it would still pass if the guard were removed
from the `build` stage (which the runtime stages inherit) but left in the
throwaway `adminbuild` stage — reintroducing the offline failure. Extract the
`build` stage block and assert the ENV is present there specifically.

The Release workflow has failed on the last two dispatches with:
Error: No changelog record for 3.4.0, please create changelog record
at bin/release.ts:146
3.3.0 was never released (latest tag/release is v3.2.0). The repo already
carries a complete `# 3.3.0` changelog section, and the intent is to ship
3.3.0 next. A prior commit reverted the root and admin/ package.json back to
3.2.0 to set up a clean 3.2.0 -> 3.3.0 minor bump, but missed src/package.json
and bin/package.json, which were left at 3.3.0.
bin/release.ts reads the current version from src/package.json, so it computed
minor(3.3.0) = 3.4.0 and aborted on the missing 3.4.0 changelog. Syncing src
and bin back to 3.2.0 (matching root + admin) makes the next `minor` dispatch
compute 3.2.0 -> 3.3.0, which satisfies the existing changelog check.

* fix(theme-color): emit media-scoped dark variant for iOS Safari (#7606)
The theme-color meta only had a single light value rendered server-side;
dark mode was applied purely by JS (skin_variants.ts) after page load.
iOS Safari colors the address bar at parse time and does not reliably
repaint when JS mutates the meta later, so dark-mode iPhone users kept a
white address bar above a dark toolbar (the green Chromium Playwright test
masked this because Chrome does honor the dynamic update).
Emit a prefers-color-scheme media-scoped pair server-side so the correct
color is chosen at first paint without JS:
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#485365" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)">
- Add SkinColors.darkToolbarColor() (reuses toolbarColorForTokens).
- Expose enableDarkMode via getPublicSettings so the templates can gate the
dark variant on it (no dark variant when dark mode can't be reached).
- Apply to both pad.html and timeslider.html.
- updateThemeColorMeta now updates every theme-color meta so a manual
#options-darkmode toggle still wins over the media scoping on
desktop/Android.
- Backend + frontend tests updated to assert the media-scoped pair and the
enableDarkMode-off case.

* fix(theme-color): prevent the light-mode flash on dark-OS load (#7606)
The theme-color meta fix corrects the address-bar tint, but dark-OS users
still saw the whole page painted light before the JS bundle ran and applied
the dark skin classes in postAceInit — a visible flash on every browser,
not just the mobile address bar.
Add a tiny blocking inline script in <head>, before the stylesheet, that
applies the dark skin classes to <html> synchronously during parse when the
client is in dark mode (matchMedia + no localStorage white-mode override).
The condition mirrors pad.ts's auto-switch, which still runs on init to wire
up the #options-darkmode toggle and theme the editor iframes (those don't
exist yet at parse time). Gated on the same enableDarkMode + colibris check
as the dark theme-color variant. Applied to pad.html and timeslider.html.
Verified in Chromium: at domcontentloaded a dark-OS client's <html> already
carries super-dark-editor/dark-background/super-dark-toolbar (no flash), and
a light-OS client is unaffected.

* fix(theme-color): guard pre-paint script on #skinvariantsbuilder; ignore updater state
Address PR review:
- Copilot: the inline pre-paint dark-mode script must skip the auto-dark
switch on the #skinvariantsbuilder hash, matching pad.ts — otherwise it
forces super-dark classes on a dark-OS client and fights the variants
builder UI. Added the guard to pad.html and timeslider.html and a backend
assertion so it can't regress.
- Qodo: ignore var/update-state.json (runtime updater cache) so the server
run that regenerates it can't dirty the tree or be committed accidentally.

* fix(editor): tag inserts with clientVars author until userAuthor propagates
Fixes the intermittent Firefox `clear_authorship_color` flake ("clear authorship
colors can be undone to restore author colors").
Root cause: the inner editor's `thisAuthor` starts '' and is only populated when
collab_client's `setProperty('userAuthor', userId)` reaches the inner frame —
that call is queued by the outer ace wrapper via pendingInit until the iframe
loads, so it is applied asynchronously. Under Firefox timing the first keystrokes
can beat it, so freshly typed text is tagged author=''. An empty author
canonicalizes to no-author, producing an unattributed insert (`Z:1>5+5$Hello`)
that the server's pad-corruption guard rejects ("submitted an insert without an
author attribute"), dropping the whole USER_CHANGES and losing authorship. Undo
then cannot restore an author color and the test sees `<span class="">`.
Fix: a `getLocalAuthor()` helper that falls back to `clientVars.userId` (the same
author id, available synchronously in the inner frame — already used as `myId`
elsewhere) whenever `thisAuthor` is still empty, applied at the three new-text
insert sites. The intentional clear-authorship path (`['author','']`) and the
server-side guard are unchanged.

* fix(editor): also seed line-attribute author to close the same race
The first commit fixed text inserts, but line-attribute changes (lists, headings,
alignment) emit a line-marker insert tagged with AttributeManager.author, which
likewise starts '' and is only set when the async setProperty('userAuthor')
lands. An early list/heading could therefore emit an unattributed line-marker
insert and hit the same server-side rejection.
Seed documentAttributeManager.author from getLocalAuthor() (clientVars fallback)
right after it is constructed; the userauthor handler keeps it in sync after.
Audited the other author-tagging paths: all ace2_inner text-insert sites go
through getLocalAuthor()/authorizer now, and contentcollector (paste/import)
derives authorship from the pasted DOM's author- classes via className2Author —
a different mechanism, not this async race — and self-guards on `if (state.author)`.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(editor): read the local author from the TOP pad window, not the inner frame
v1 of this fix fell back to `window.clientVars?.userId`, but that did NOT resolve
the flake — CI reproduced the identical failure and the server log still showed
the unattributed-insert rejection.
Ground truth via direct DOM measurement of a running pad: the inner editor
iframe's `window.clientVars` is NEVER populated (undefined at t=0/1/3/6s for the
life of the pad), so the v1 fallback always returned ''. The author id lives on
the TOP pad window (`window.top.clientVars.userId`), set by pad.ts when the
CLIENT_VARS message arrives — which necessarily precedes editor creation, so it
is reliably available from the inner frame the moment the editor can accept
input.
getLocalAuthor() now reads window.top.clientVars.userId (guarded with try/catch
for cross-origin embedded pads). thisAuthor still takes precedence once the
queued setProperty('userAuthor') lands. All text-insert sites and the
line-attribute seed already route through getLocalAuthor(), so both paths are
covered.
Verification: ts-check passes; fix source confirmed by direct measurement (the
top window reliably holds the author at editor-init time). Local end-to-end
repro was not possible — the dev server's require-kernel bundle did not reflect
working-tree edits — so this is validated against the measured source + CI.

* fix(editor): walk ancestor frames for the author instead of window.top
Addresses a correctness gap flagged in review: reading window.top.clientVars
fails for same-origin embeds, where window.top is the host page (accessible, so
no exception is thrown) and has no Etherpad clientVars — getLocalAuthor() then
returns '' and the unattributed-insert bug recurs.
Walk up the ancestor chain (inner -> ace_outer -> pad window) and return the
first frame that has clientVars.userId. This stops at the pad window and never
depends on window.top, so it is correct for normal pads, same-origin embeds, and
cross-origin embeds (the try/catch ends the walk if an ancestor is cross-origin,
though the pad window — always same-origin with the editor frames — is reached
first). Behavior in the non-embed case is unchanged (pad window is 2 hops up).

* fix(collab): stamp the author onto outgoing inserts in collab_client
Replaces the earlier getLocalAuthor attempts (v1-v3, reverted from ace2_inner.ts),
which all failed because they tried to *read* an author that genuinely does not
exist yet: the local author id (clientVars.userId) only arrives with the
CLIENT_VARS socket message, and under load (Firefox + plugins) the editor can
become editable and the user can type before that message lands. At that instant
there is no author anywhere client-side, so the editor emits an unattributed
insert that the server's pad-corruption guard rejects — dropping the change and
losing authorship (the clear_authorship_color flake).
Fix where the author IS reliably available: collab_client only exists after
CLIENT_VARS has arrived, so its `userId` is always populated. A new pure helper
stampAuthorOnInserts() rewrites the outgoing wire changeset so every '+' op
carries an author, stamping userId onto any that lack one, just before it goes on
the wire (both the USER_CHANGES send and the reconnect/further-changeset path).
Independent of editor-init timing.
Verification:
- Unit test (stampAuthorOnInserts.test.ts, 5 cases): stamps the exact flake
changeset `Z:1>5+5$Hello` -> authored + checkRep-valid + text preserved; leaves
already-attributed inserts and keep/remove-only changesets unchanged; never
invents an author when userId is empty; preserves other attributes.
- ace2_inner.ts reverted to develop (the editor is unchanged; the fix is fully
localized to the send path).
- Local run of the clear_authorship_color spec with the fix: all pass, no
server-side unattributed-insert rejections; full backend-new vitest green
(the unrelated backend-tests-glob env-only failure aside).

* Hardening: API request handling, token generation, and plugin loading
- pad_utils.randomString: generate the random IDs via crypto.getRandomValues

- OAuth2Provider: constant-time password comparison and a uniform failure delay
on the OIDC interaction login; own-property user lookup.
- API.appendChatMessage: require the pad to already exist (getPadSafe),
consistent with the other content API methods.
- RestAPI /api/2: forward only the authorization header rather than merging all

content-independent comparison (length difference is covered by the uniform

In-pad history mode positioned the timeslider iframe (#history-frame-mount)
as an absolute, inset:0 overlay over #editorcontainerbox. That filled the
editor area but took the iframe out of flow, so any in-flow side panel in
#editorcontainerbox — e.g. ep_webrtc's video column (#rtcbox) — ended up
hidden beneath the overlay. In live mode the same panel sits beside the
editor, so the two modes disagreed (ether/ep_webrtc rendered nothing in the
timeslider).
Make the iframe occupy the same in-flow flex slot the live editor uses
(flex: 1 1 auto in the row-flex #editorcontainerbox) so side panels lay out
identically in both modes.
This surfaced a latent bug: `body.history-mode #editorcontainer { display:
none }` (specificity 0-1-1) was being outranked by the two-id layout rule
`#editorcontainerbox #editorcontainer { display: flex }` (0-2-0), so the live
editor was never actually removed from flow — the absolute overlay merely
painted over it. With the iframe now in normal flow that no longer hides the
editor, so the hide rule is given matching specificity
(body.history-mode #editorcontainerbox #editorcontainer) to win the cascade.
Added a padmode.spec.ts regression test that injects a left-pinned in-flow
side panel, enters history mode, and asserts the live editor is display:none,
the iframe is not absolutely positioned, and the iframe lays out beside the
panel filling the editor's remaining width (no overlap).

* fix: URL-encode pad names in admin 'Open' button and recent pads (#7865)
- encodeURIComponent in admin PadPage 'Open' button href
- decodeURIComponent when reading pad name from URL pathname
in pad_userlist.ts and colibris/pad.js (recent pads storage)
- encodeURIComponent in colibris/index.js recent pads href;
display text uses stored name directly (no double-decode)
- add recent_pads spec asserting encoded URLs
- add share dialog spec asserting URL encoding of special chars
* fix: address Qodo review on recent-pads encoding and admin Open button
- Normalize legacy URL-encoded recentPads names before re-encoding the
href in colibris/index.js, preventing double-encoding (%2F -> %252F)
of entries stored by older versions.
- Add noopener,noreferrer to the admin 'Open' window.open call to

* fix(pad): attribute default welcome text to the system author (#7885)
When a user opens a brand-new pad, CLIENT_READY calls
getPad(padId, null, session.author), and Pad.init attributed the
auto-generated default content (settings.defaultPadText or a
padDefaultContent hook substitution) to that author. The welcome text —
which the user never wrote — therefore carried the creator's `author`
attribute and rendered in their authorship colour.
Track whether the initial text came from the default-content path and,
if so, attribute the initial changeset to the stable system author
(Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID) instead of the creating user. Explicitly provided
text (e.g. HTTP API createPad with text + author) keeps the real author.
The creating user becomes a listed author only once they actually type;
their "ownership" of the pad (pad-wide settings defaults, the author
token) does not depend on owning the default text, so it is unaffected.
listAuthorsOfPad already filters out the system author, so the public
API reports zero contributors for an untouched default pad.

* fix(pad): keep creator as revision-0 author, only de-colour the text
CI (socketio "Pad-wide settings creator gate") and Qodo both caught that
attributing revision 0 to the system author stripped the creating user's
ownership: isPadCreator() / the pad-wide settings gate and the deletion
token all key off getRevisionAuthor(0).
Decouple the two: the initial revision's meta.author stays the real
creator (ownership preserved), while only the welcome text's `author`
*attribute* — the thing that colours it — becomes Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID.
The system fallback for the revision author now applies solely when no
author was supplied at all.
Tests assert both halves: default text is system-coloured (not the
creator's colour) AND the creator remains the revision-0 author; explicit
text stays coloured with the creator.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(wcag): target the user-authored span, not the system welcome text
The wcag_author_color spec picked the first `span[class*="author-"]` on
the page to measure the user's colour contrast. With #7885 the default
welcome text is now owned by the system author and renders with no
background colour, so that first span is no longer the current user's —
the contrast read came back as transparent rgba(0,0,0,0) and the three
assertions failed.
Match the author span by the text we just typed ("contrast smoke")
instead, so the test measures the actual user-authored content it
intends to. Verified locally: 3/3 pass.

* docs: refresh docs for 3.2.0 — correct stale content, document recent features
The hand-maintained VitePress docs under doc/ had drifted behind a lot of
recent work. They are authored prose (not generated from the OpenAPI spec),
so they need manual upkeep. This pass corrects content that was actively
wrong and documents features shipped since they were last touched.
Corrections (was wrong / misleading):
- cli.md: every command used `node bin/foo.js`, but the scripts are
TypeScript run via pnpm — copy-paste failed. Rewrote to
`pnpm run --filter bin <script>`, documented ~13 previously-undocumented
operator tools, and split running-vs-stopped requirements. Registered the
missing `compactStalePads` script in bin/package.json so the documented
invocation actually works.
- stats.md: described a pre-Prometheus world. Rewrote for the gated
`/stats` (JSON) and `/stats/prometheus` endpoints, the live metric set,
the opt-in `scalingDiveMetrics` instruments (#7756), and `measured-core`.
- admin/updates.md: removed three false "SMTP not yet wired" claims (it is,
via nodemailer + the `mail.*` block), documented the `node-engine-mismatch`
preflight check and the rollback/preflight failure emails, and stripped
obsolete "PR 1 / PR 2" staging language now that all tiers ship.
- api/http_api.md: added the undocumented `anonymizeAuthor` (GDPR Art. 17)
call, fixed copyPad/movePad version annotations (1.2.8 → 1.2.9), corrected
getPadID's param name (readOnlyID → roID), and dropped a reference to a
non-existent `getEtherpad` API call.
- skins.md: colibris is the current default, not an "experimental" skin for
a future 2.0.
- localization.md: bare `window._('key')` is unbound and returns undefined;
recommend `window.html10n.get(...)` / data-l10n-id instead.
- README.md: bumped the v2.2.5 upgrade example to v3.2.0; fixed a
docker.adoc link to docker.md.
- docker.md: added MAIL_*, ENABLE_METRICS, GDPR_AUTHOR_ERASURE_ENABLED,
PRIVACY_BANNER_*, PUBLIC_URL, AUTHENTICATION_METHOD, ENABLE_DARK_MODE,
ENABLE_PAD_WIDE_SETTINGS; fixed the SOCKETIO_MAX_HTTP_BUFFER_SIZE default
(50000 → 1000000).
New documentation:
- configuration.md (new): how settings + `${VAR:default}` substitution work,
trustProxy, and — the previously-undocumented feature — running under a
subpath/ingress via x-proxy-path / X-Forwarded-Prefix / X-Ingress-Path,
with the sanitizer rules and Traefik/NGINX examples. Wired into the
VitePress sidebar and the index hero.
- hooks_server-side.md: ccRegisterBlockElements (the server-side companion
plugin authors miss), exportConvert, exportHTMLSend, createServer,
restartServer, and clientReady (marked deprecated).
- hooks_client-side.md: aceDrop, acePaste, handleClientTimesliderMessage_<name>.
VitePress build passes. The legacy .adoc set was intentionally left in place
— it still feeds the per-version doc archives published to ether.github.com
at release time (bin/release.ts), so it is not dead and is out of scope here.

* docs: address Qodo review — drop .js invocations from configuration.md and CLI help
- configuration.md: the settings-override example referenced a nonexistent
`node src/node/server.js`. Use the supported launcher instead
(`bin/run.sh -s <file>`), and note the runtime is server.ts via tsx.
- compactStalePads.ts / compactPad.ts / compactAllPads.ts: their header
comments and runtime usage output still printed `node bin/*.js`, which
points at files that don't exist. Switched to the documented
`pnpm run --filter bin <script>` form so the --help text matches the docs.

* css: restore URL wrapping in pad editor (#7894)
Long URLs in the pad editor overflow instead of wrapping because the
global a { white-space: nowrap } rule in pad.css overrides the wrapping
properties set on #innerdocbody. Add explicit white-space, word-wrap,
and overflow-wrap to #innerdocbody a so URLs wrap inside the editor
while preserving no-wrap behavior for links elsewhere in the UI.
Fixes#7894
* test: add regression test for long URL wrapping in pad editor (#7894)
* test: add regression test for long URL wrapping in pad editor (#7894)
* fix: pad-wide view settings apply to the creator's own view (#7900)
The pad creator is never "enforced upon themselves" (isPadSettingsEnforcedForMe
is false whenever canEditPadSettings is true), so getEffectivePadOptions always
merges their personal view overrides (cookies) on top of the pad-wide options.
As a result, a creator who had at some point toggled e.g. their personal "Read
content from right to left" carried a stale rtlIsTrue=false cookie that silently
masked the pad-wide value they later set — toggling the pad-wide control (and
then enforcing it) appeared to do nothing on the creator's own screen.
Fix: when the creator changes a pad-wide view option, sync their personal pref
to the chosen value so their own view adopts the pad-wide setting immediately.
This deliberately does NOT change the precedence model — the creator can still
override the setting afterwards via the "My view" controls, so the existing
behaviour where a creator keeps personal overrides while enforcing settings for
other users (pad_settings.spec.ts) is preserved.
Adds a frontend test reproducing the stale-personal-cookie scenario.

Refactor only — no behaviour change.
pad_mode.ts: collapse the five ad-hoc listener stores (playbackChange-
Listener, followChangeListener, authorColorsListeners, fontFamily-
Listeners, lineNumbersListeners) into the single outerControlListeners
list via a shared bindOuter() helper, so every outer-control listener is
registered and torn down through one uniform path. The three view-setting
bridges (author colours, font family, line numbers) become one
data-driven bridgeView() over their element ids instead of three
near-identical closures.
timeslider.ts: hoist applyPadFontFamily to a top-level helper next to
applyShowAuthorColors (keeping the '' reset for jQuery 3), and co-locate
the three BroadcastSlider view-setting methods that were split across the
function.

* fix: RTL content option no longer flips the whole page (#7900)
The pad's RTL content option (rtlIsTrue) is a per-pad setting that should
only change the direction of the editor's text contents. The setter in
ace2_inner.ts wrote the direction to the top-level `document.documentElement`
(`document` there resolves to the main pad page, since the editor iframes are
derived from it), which flipped the entire page — toolbar and chrome included.
The page direction is owned solely by the UI language (l10n.ts sets it from
html10n.getDirection()). Apply the content direction to the inner editor
document (`targetDoc.documentElement`) instead, so enabling RTL content leaves
the surrounding interface untouched.
Adds a frontend test asserting the inner editor flips to RTL while the
top-level <html> dir stays ltr.

* test: address Qodo review — robust frame access and locale-independent page-dir assertion (#7900)
- Use a frameLocator chain (Playwright auto-waits) instead of
page.frame('ace_inner')! which can race with inner-editor readiness.
- Don't hardcode dir='ltr' on the top-level <html> (the UI language can
legitimately pick rtl). Capture the initial page dir and assert it is
unchanged after toggling the pad RTL option — that is the real invariant.

* test(ci): remove the silent-ELIFECYCLE investigation scaffolding
The Windows backend flake is root-caused (server.ts handler gate for the
in-process process.exit path; Windows pinned to Node 24.16.0 for the libuv
TCP-connect overrun, tracked upstream as nodejs/node#63620). Remove the
temporary diagnostics added while hunting it:
- delete src/tests/backend/diagnostics.ts (per-test heartbeat + node-report
snapshots) and its `--require` from the backend `test` script;
- drop the `--report-on-fatalerror`/`-on-signal`/`-uncaught-exception`
`NODE_OPTIONS` and the "Upload Node diagnostic reports" steps;
- drop the Windows OS-level netstat/tasklist sidecar watcher.
Kept: the real fixes — the log-only unhandledRejection guard in
tests/backend/common.ts, the lowerCasePadIds socket-teardown tracking (comment
de-referenced from the deleted file), and `pnpm test -- --exit` on Windows.

* fix(test): stop a single leaked promise rejection from killing the whole backend suite
Root cause of the long-standing Windows backend-test "silent ELIFECYCLE"
flake (~22% of runs, rotating across random spec files, no mocha summary,
no JS-handler trace, bypassing --report-on-fatalerror / Defender / Windows
event log / AeDebug). Found by capturing a full-memory dump of the dying
node.exe with Sysinternals ProcDump (-t dump-on-terminate) and symbolizing
it against Node 24.15.0's node.pdb. The dying thread's stack:
exit_or_terminate_process / common_exit (CRT exit)
node::Exit
node::DefaultProcessExitHandlerInternal
node::Environment::Exit
node::ReallyExit (process.exit binding)
... v8 MicrotaskQueue::RunMicrotasks ...
node::InternalCallbackScope::Close
No exception stream — a *clean* ExitProcess, not a crash. The job log
pinned the trigger:
[INFO] server - Exiting...
AssertionError at tests/backend/specs/SessionStore.ts:235
at process.processTicksAndRejections
Mechanism: a timing-fragile test (SessionStore touch/expiry specs use real
setTimeout against a 200ms-expiry session; socket.io delay-race specs are
similar) gets timed out and abandoned by mocha, but its async body keeps
running. When its trailing assertion later throws, it surfaces as an ORPHAN
unhandled rejection belonging to no awaited test. Three handlers then
escalated that into a whole-process exit:
- server.ts installed process-global uncaughtException/unhandledRejection
handlers that call exports.exit() → process.reallyExit() (production
graceful-shutdown behaviour, catastrophic in-process under mocha)
- common.ts (PR #7663) and diagnostics.ts (PR #7838) rethrew the rejection
and process.exit(1)
Because it's a deliberate, clean exit it bypassed every forensic layer; it
rotated across files because the orphan rejection lands during whatever test
is running; it's Windows-mostly because event-loop timing makes the abandoned
test's assertion fire in a *later* test's window more often there.
Fix (two halves):
1. server.ts: gate the process-global uncaughtException / unhandledRejection
/ signal handlers behind `require.main === module`. They are correct for
a real Etherpad process but must not fire when server.start() is called
in-process by a test runner — mocha owns process-level error handling
there. Mirrors the existing `if (require.main === module) exports.start()`
idiom; production (node server.js) is unchanged.
2. common.ts + diagnostics.ts: the backend-test bootstraps now LOG unhandled
rejections instead of rethrowing / exiting. Orphan rejections cannot be
cleanly attributed to a test, so rethrowing only yields an
ERR_MOCHA_MULTIPLE_DONE abort. Real failures are unaffected — an assertion
in a test's own awaited path rejects that test's promise and mocha fails
it normally, never reaching this global handler.
Verified locally: a spec that leaks a delayed rejection during a later test
now reports `3 passing` / exit 0 with the rejection logged, instead of
aborting the run.
Follow-ups (separate PRs): harden the SessionStore / socket.io timing specs
to not leak (fake timers); remove the now-unneeded diagnostic scaffolding
(diagnostics.ts heartbeat/node-report, the #7846 OS sidecar) now that the
cause is known.

* fix(ci): run Windows backend tests on Node 25 to dodge the libuv connect overrun
Node 24.x's bundled libuv has a stack buffer overrun in the Windows TCP-connect
path (uv__tcp_connect / uv__tcp_try_connect), proven by a SilentProcessExit
full-memory dump of the dying mocha process: the main thread executes
__fastfail(FAST_FAIL_STACK_COOKIE_CHECK_FAILURE) from __report_gsfailure with
TCPWrap::Connect -> uv_tcp_connect on the stack. It fires under the backend
suite's heavy localhost connection churn, is address-family independent (occurs
on both sockaddr_in and sockaddr_in6, so an IPv4 pin does NOT help), and -- being
memory corruption -- bypasses all JS/Node observability, rotating across tests
as the "silent ELIFECYCLE" flake (~22% of Windows runs).
Empirically: Node 25 = 16/16 green; Node 24 (even with an IPv4 pin) = ~39% fail.
Node 25's newer bundled libuv does not overrun. Linux stays on Node 24 LTS (the
bug is Windows-specific). Revisit once the libuv fix is backported to 24.x.

* fix(ci): pin Windows backend to Node 24.16.0 (libuv fix) instead of 25
Bisect (standalone repro) pinpointed the fix to Node 24.16.0 (libuv 1.52.1):
24.15.0 (libuv 1.51.0) crashes the connect overrun 4/4 on 127.0.0.1, while
24.16.0 is clean 0/8. 24.16.0 stays on the Node 24 "Krypton" LTS line, so prefer
it over Node 25 (non-LTS). Pinned explicitly because setup-node's default
check-latest:false reuses the runner's pre-cached 24.15.0 for a bare "24".

* docs(ci): reference upstream nodejs/node#63620 in the Windows Node-pin comment
Links the explicit 24.16.0 pin to the filed upstream issue so the pin can be
dropped back to plain "24" once the libuv connect-overrun fix is across the
supported 24.x baseline.

In-process diagnostics (diagnostics.ts heartbeat at 5 Hz + node-report
snapshots on every beforeEach and heartbeat tick) merged in #7838 and
#7842 reach a hard ceiling: during every captured death window the V8
main isolate is event-loop-starved for 200-400 ms before the process
is externally terminated, so any timer-driven probe (heartbeat,
setTimeout, --report-on-signal handler) never gets serviced and we
have zero JS-visible state from the actual moment of death.
To capture state during the starvation window we need a probe whose
own scheduling does not depend on the dying process's libuv event
loop. This commit adds a tiny bash background loop to the Windows
backend-test steps (both with- and without-plugins). Every 500 ms it
appends:
- netstat.log: localhost TCP socket state — surfaces TIME_WAIT /
CLOSE_WAIT accumulation or ephemeral-port exhaustion that the
in-process libuv handle list can't see (libuv only shows handles
Node currently knows about; the kernel may hold many more sockets
in disposal states).
- tasklist.log: node.exe process state from the Windows OS view
(handle count, working set, CPU time), independent of whether V8
is responsive.
Both files land in $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/node-report/ which is already
the artifact-upload target on failure, so they ride for free on
existing infrastructure. The watcher is killed cleanly after `pnpm
test` returns so it never holds the runner open.
On the next captured silent ELIFECYCLE we'll have, for the first
time, a 500 ms-resolution external observation of TCP and process
state across the death window.

The 'enter is always visible after event' test asserted that the last
line was within the browser viewport using boundingBox().y + height vs
window.innerHeight. Those values live in different coordinate spaces
(boundingBox is outer-page; window is per-frame), and the comparison
is fundamentally unable to model what the editor's auto-scroll actually
guarantees: visibility inside the ace_outer iframe, not within the
outer browser viewport.
Any plugin that adds chrome above or below the editor (toolbar rows,
sidebars, etc.) pushes the iframe's bottom below the browser viewport
while auto-scroll has correctly placed the cursor at the iframe's
bottom — failures look like 'Expected: > 731, Received: 720'. An
earlier attempt to switch to toBeInViewport({ratio: 1}) traded the
false positives for false negatives under chromium + plugins because
the inner iframe's contents can report ratio 0 against the outer
viewport even when the line is visible inside the editor.
Drop the visibility assertion entirely. The test's real value — that
Enter keystrokes produce new lines and the editor's input pipeline
keeps up — is exercised by the per-iteration toHaveCount value-wait
in the loop above. Visibility under plugin chrome is a separate,
plugin-aware concern.

* fix(oidc): fix OIDCAdapter broken flows
* fix(oidc): fix storage type to include string for userCode index
* test(oidc): add regression tests for OIDCAdapter broken flows
* chore(root): drop redundant top-level files
Three small clean-ups to make the project root easier to scan for new
contributors:
- best_practices.md was a near-duplicate of CONTRIBUTING.md. Merge its
two unique bullets (PRs MUST include a description / flag empty
descriptions as incomplete) into CONTRIBUTING.md and remove the file.
- .pr_agent.toml is a two-line Qodo PR-bot config. It has no functional
references in the repo and Qodo currently doesn't review this repo.
- tests/ -> src/tests was an unused root symlink. Verified no workflow,
script, eslint config, or playwright config relies on the root path
(all callers use src/tests/... or the ep_etherpad-lite package path).
No CI, build, or docs updates needed.

* chore(root): fix dead tests/frontend + best_practices.md refs
Follow-up on Qodo review feedback for #7839:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: front-end-tests path now reads src/tests/frontend/
instead of the dead tests/frontend/ (the root tests symlink is gone).
The browser URL <yourdomainhere>/tests/frontend stays — that's an
Express route served by the test runner, not a filesystem path.
- docs/superpowers/specs/...openapi-design.md: drop best_practices.md
from the parenthetical list of policy sources (now CONTRIBUTING.md
and AGENTS.MD), since best_practices.md has been removed.

* fix(pad): URL view-option params lost to padeditor.init race (#7840)
`?showLineNumbers=false` and `?useMonospaceFont=true` were being
silently clobbered shortly after pad load. Same race that affected
`?rtl=false` before #7464:
1. _afterHandshake → getParams() sets settings.LineNumbersDisabled
(or useMonospaceFontGlobal, noColors).
2. _afterHandshake calls padeditor.init(view).then(postAceInit) —
async; ace iframes still loading.
3. Sync tail of _afterHandshake hits the URL-param overrides and
calls changeViewOption('showLineNumbers', false) etc. These
queue setProperty('showslinenumbers', false) in Ace2Editor's
actionsPendingInit queue (loaded=false).
4. ace.init resolves → loaded=true → queue flushes → URL-driven
value applied.
5. padeditor.init resumes past its own await and calls
setViewOptions(initialViewOptions) — initialViewOptions is
built from clientVars.initialOptions.view (server defaults
∨ cookie), which does NOT carry the URL preference. The
resulting setProperty('showslinenumbers', true) runs against
loaded=true ace and immediately re-shows the gutter.
#7464 noticed this race for RTL and moved the override into
postAceInit. The neighbouring blocks for showLineNumbers / noColors
/ useMonospaceFontGlobal were left at the synchronous-tail site —
generalise the same fix to all three.
Direct-browser users typically had a `prefs` cookie with
showLineNumbers=false from a prior in-pad toggle, so the
initialViewOptions value happened to match the URL param and the
race was unobservable. Cross-context iframe embeds (the reporter's
configuration) start with no cookie, so the server default true
fights the URL false and the race becomes visible.
Adds src/tests/frontend-new/specs/url_view_options.spec.ts covering
the showLineNumbers=false / =true / useMonospaceFont=true cases on
initial-load navigation (the path where the race actually fires).

This flag gates the ep_* passthrough on padoptions that shipped in 3.0.0
(PR #7698). It was introduced as opt-in, but the intent in shipping it
was to let plugins like ep_plugin_helpers' padToggle / padSelect ride
the existing broadcast/persist rail out of the box — flipping the
default closes the gap.
Why now
- ep_comments_page#422 (and sibling per-plugin reports discussed on
Discord): stock 3.x deployments console.warn on every pad load because
the helper detects clientVars.enablePluginPadOptions === false and
tells the admin to flip it. With the flag default-true, the warning
stops firing on fresh installs while still surfacing for operators
who have explicitly opted out.
- Plugins that already depend on ep_plugin_helpers >= 0.6 expect the
pad-wide path to work; the default-false gate silently no-op'd
pad.changePadOption('ep_*', …) and made the helper UI inert.
Scope
- Settings.ts default flipped to true; comment rewritten to describe
the new "operator opt-out" model rather than the old AGENTS.MD §52
opt-in framing (that policy still applies to *new* features; this
one has shipped and proven safe).
- settings.json.template env-var substitution default flipped to true
so docker / supervisor configs without an explicit value get the
new behavior.
- doc/plugins.md updated to match (default true, opt-out via
settings.json) and the PluginCapabilities source comment.
- Backend test describe-blocks relabeled — "true" is now "(default)",
"false" is now "(operator opt-out)". Both branches still cover the
same matrix so the size-cap / namespace-validation paths stay
exercised.
Compat
- Existing deployments with an explicit `"enablePluginPadOptions":
false` in settings.json keep that value — no migration needed.
- Older clients only read clientVars.enablePluginPadOptions; the
protocol shape is unchanged.
Closes ep_comments_page#422 (helper warning suppression for stock
deployments).

* test(ci): schedule a mid-test snapshot 150ms after every beforeEach
Run 26401801404 (PR #7841 after merging develop) captured the dying
test's beforeEach node-report — be-0258, written 75ms after
socketio.ts > "Pad-wide settings creator gate different browsers"
entered — but no further state. The kill landed 321ms into the test
body, between 1 Hz heartbeat ticks, and the 100ms boundary throttle
prevented further beforeEach writes inside the same test. The report
we have shows only the listening server socket; the connections that
the test body creates (and that presumably precede the kill) never
get snapshotted.
Schedule an unref'd setTimeout from beforeEach that fires 150ms after
the test entered. If it's still the running test at fire time (i.e.
slow enough that the death window applies), capture a node-report
from INSIDE the test body — the moment when the real TCP / socket.io
activity is in flight. Fast tests (<150ms) skip the write because
afterEach has already cleared currentTest by the time the timer
fires.
Result on the next reproduction of the death pattern:
- be-NNNN report at +75ms (beforeEach, body not yet started)
- mt-MMMM report at +150ms (mid-test, body in flight, before kill
at +320ms)
- kill, no further reports
Cost: only slow tests (>150ms) generate an mt report, so the
artifact size growth is bounded by the count of tests that take
longer than 150ms — typically a small minority. Locally verified
against a 3-test probe: 2 fast tests skipped, 1 300ms test produced
the expected mt-NNNN snapshot.

* test(ci): bump heartbeat from 1Hz to 5Hz
Run 26402211271 produced be-0207 (the dying test's beforeEach
snapshot) but no mid-test snapshot, even though setTimeout(150ms)
was scheduled and the test body lived another 280 ms after that
deadline. setTimeout under Windows-runner load is being starved
past the deadline — we already saw the previous test's mt fire at
+252 ms (102 ms late) when the deadline was 150 ms, so the dying
test's timer was likely scheduled to fire well after the kill at
+425 ms.
setInterval has fired reliably throughout the investigation
(every heartbeat in every run lands within ~1 s of schedule, even
when setTimeout misses). Bump heartbeat to 200 ms (5 Hz) so any
death window ≥200 ms is sampled inside the test body, independent
of how starved setTimeout is.
Cost on the Windows runner: the existing log shows writeReport
completes in <1 ms (from "Writing Node.js report" to "Node.js
report completed" timestamps), so 5 Hz adds ~5 ms/s of overhead.
Artifact growth: ~500 reports for a 100 s test phase (~25 MB raw,
~5 MB compressed). The setTimeout mid-test snapshot stays — it's
belt-and-suspenders cheap and fires for slow tests where the
heartbeat alone might not align with the death window.

* fix: isolate mt/hb writes from `be` throttle + gate timer on canWriteReport
Qodo flagged two real issues on #7842:
1. The single shared `lastReportT` made `mt` writes poison the `be`
throttle window. Slow tests trigger an `mt` write at +150 ms, then
the test ends a few ms later, and the NEXT test's `beforeEach`
landed within the 100 ms throttle from the `mt` write — so its
own `be` snapshot was suppressed. That's the exact boundary
coverage the throttle is supposed to PROTECT. Local repro with a
180 ms slow test followed by a fast one confirmed: the fast
test's `be-0004` is now captured instead of swallowed.
Fix: split into `lastBoundaryT` used and updated only by `be`
writes. `hb` and `mt` pass `updateThrottle=false` and never
advance the boundary timestamp.
2. `setTimeout` was being scheduled in `beforeEach` for every test
even when `canWriteReport` is false (Linux backend matrix, local
dev). That's a wasted timer per test for no possible diagnostic
output. Gate the schedule itself on `canWriteReport`.

* test(ci): heartbeat + running-test pointer in backend test diagnostics
Backend tests silently die with code 255 mid-suite ~22% of the time on
develop (most often Windows-with-plugins, Node 24). Each kill lands
300±50 ms after the previous test's clean ✔ teardown line and produces
no failing-test marker, no error, no Mocha summary, and — despite the
unconditional handlers in `diagnostics.ts` — none of the JS-level death
events fire either. Recent example: run 26311025244 (`Windows with
Plugins (24)`); both attempts crashed at completely different "last
test" locations, so the dying test itself isn't to blame.
The existing diagnostics only set lastSeenTest in afterEach, so if the
kill lands during the NEXT test's setup or body — which is exactly the
~300ms gap we observe — the pointer reads as the previous (passing)
test. That hides whether we're between tests or inside one, and which
one.
Two changes:
1. Track currentTest in beforeEach as well as lastFinishedTest in
afterEach. Every diag line now carries both, so the death point is
bracketable regardless of which lifecycle phase the kill interrupts.
2. Add a 1Hz heartbeat that writeSyncs the running-test name plus
`process.memoryUsage()` (rss, heap) and the active-handle and
active-request counts. The interval is unref'd so it never holds the
event loop open by itself. Cost is roughly one extra log line per
second of mocha runtime (~60-120 lines per CI run).
When the next failure fires, the last heartbeat narrows the kill window
to ≤1s, the running pointer names the test on the rails at that moment,
and the handle/memory trace gives a sparkline that exposes sudden
spikes — a leaked socket, an unref'd timer, a runaway map — that
would otherwise be invisible at the runner-log level.
No behavior change on successful runs.

* fix: heartbeat _getActiveHandles optional chain bug (Qodo #2)
Qodo correctly flagged `_getActiveHandles?.().length` as a latent
TypeError: `?.()` guards the call but the call's `undefined` return
on a missing method still hits `.length`, which throws. Since the
heartbeat fires on a setInterval inside the mocha bootstrap, a Node
build without the underscore-prefixed internals would take down the
whole backend test run.
Capture the array first, then read `.length` only when it actually
exists. -1 stays as the "API missing" sentinel.

* test(ci): per-test start diag + drop stray console.log noise
Follow-up to the heartbeat PR after run 26397693748 confirmed the
diagnostic works (the kill landed at importexportGetPost.ts
'Import authorization checks > authn anonymous !exist -> fail',
~300 ms after the previous test's ✔). Two cleanups so the next
failure pinpoints faster and reads cleaner:
1. diagnostics.ts: emit a `test start: <name>` diag line in the
mocha beforeEach hook, after setting the currentTest pointer.
The 1Hz heartbeat misses tests that take less than a second,
and the silent kills land ~300 ms after a test boundary —
precisely the gap where heartbeat resolution fails. A start
line per test gives sub-millisecond resolution on which test
was on the rails when the process died.
2. specs/api/importexportGetPost.ts: drop a stray
`console.log(importedPads)` debug leftover (and the duplicate
`await importEtherpad(records)` only present to feed it) in
the `malformed .etherpad files are rejected` block. The leftover
dumped a ~600-line reflection of a supertest Response object
to the CI log on every successful run, drowning the surrounding
test output and making the silent-kill window much harder to
read.

* test(ci): write node-report on every heartbeat tick
Run 26398054688 narrowed the kill to a specific test
(pad.ts > Gets text on a pad Id and doesn't have an excess newline)
but the test body is a trivial supertest GET — the kill bypasses
all JS handlers, so we can't capture stack state at death.
Two failures across two runs share the shape: an agent.{get,post}
+ common.generateJWTToken() call dies ~300-600 ms after test start,
with no JS-visible cause. The next step is V8 + native stack.
Hook into the existing 1Hz heartbeat to call
process.report.writeReport(path) whenever a report directory is set.
The Windows backend-tests workflow already wires up
`--report-directory=${{ github.workspace }}/node-report` via
NODE_OPTIONS and uploads that directory as an artifact on failure,
so the rolling snapshots ride for free on the existing upload step.
Each report (~50 KB) contains:
- V8 + native call stacks for all threads
- libuv active handles (open TCP, timers, file handles)
- JS heap statistics
- resourceUsage + system info
- shared-object list
On the next reproduction the latest report before ELIFECYCLE will
sit ~0-1 s before the kill — enough to see whether the V8 stack
is inside jose's WebCrypto sign path, inside supertest's TCP
roundtrip, or somewhere unexpected entirely.
NODE_REPORT_DIR is also honored as an explicit override for local
repro / non-workflow runs.
Cost: ~6 files (~300 KB) per Windows backend-test failure, plus
~50 ms event-loop pause per heartbeat. No-op when neither env var
is set.

* fix: writeReport with bare filename, not mixed-slash absolute path
Run 26398830249 exposed the path-separator bug in the previous commit:
every heartbeat tick on the Windows runner logged
Failed to open Node.js report file:
D:\a\etherpad\etherpad/node-report/hb-NNNN-...json
directory: D:\a\etherpad\etherpad/node-report (errno: 22)
— EINVAL. The workflow sets --report-directory with forward-slash
separators on Windows, then this code concatenated another `/` plus
the filename, producing a path Node's report writer rejects.
writeReport(fileName) takes a BARE filename and resolves it against
the configured report directory using the platform-correct separator
internally. Switch to that. For local repro overrides via
NODE_REPORT_DIR, push the path into process.report.directory (the
documented config knob) instead of joining it into the call site.

* test(ci): write node-report on test boundaries, throttled to 4Hz
Run 26398985832 proved the heartbeat-only report cadence isn't tight
enough: the last report before the kill was hb-0013 at +16201ms,
~1.5 s before ELIFECYCLE at +17701ms — during which ~30 tests fired,
including the dying one (`authn anonymous !exist -> fail`). The
captured V8 stack is just our heartbeat code, not the dying test.
Move the writeReport call to a shared tryWriteReport() helper and
invoke it from BOTH the heartbeat AND mocha's beforeEach hook,
throttled to one report per 250 ms. That gives ≤250 ms resolution
on the kill window — close enough that the latest report captures
state from inside the dying test rather than from the test ~30
slots earlier. The heartbeat always writes (so we don't lose the
no-test-running ticks during setup); beforeEach only writes when
the throttle window has elapsed.
Cost ceiling: ~4 reports/sec × ~12 s test phase ≈ 48 reports
(~2.5 MB) per failing run. Each writeReport adds ~50 ms of
event-loop pause — at 4Hz that's 20% of wall time spent in
diagnostics, which is acceptable for a temporary debug-only
bootstrap.

* test(ci): drop beforeEach report throttle from 250ms to 100ms
Run 26399285213's rerun captured a sixth death point on the new 4Hz
cadence (`socketio.ts > Duplicate-author handling > cookie identity:
same-author second socket kicks the first`, kill at +45953ms, 271ms
after test start). The throttle suppressed the dying test's own
beforeEach: previous boundary write landed 128 ms earlier and the
next 31 ms after that, both inside the 250 ms window. Last captured
report (be-0100) is from the previous test.
100 ms is still well above the inter-test cadence in fast burst
suites (tests fire 2-5 ms apart, so 20-50 of them get throttled to a
single write, ceiling ~10 writes/sec). But it's tight enough that
any death-window neighbour ≥100 ms after the previous report — the
shape we keep observing — gets its own boundary snapshot.

* feat(admin): explain env-var substitution in /settings, surface auth errors (#7819)
Three small, env-var-only UX improvements driven by issue #7819, where a
Docker operator saved an ep_oauth block in the admin /settings raw view
and reported it "disappeared" — but the underlying confusion was that
settings.json on disk is a *template*, not the effective config. None of
these changes is visible to installs that don't use ${VAR} placeholders.
* Banner above the editor explaining the template/env-substitution model,
only rendered when the loaded file contains a ${VAR} placeholder. Tells
the operator that the file is not env-substituted in place and that the
Effective tab shows the live values.
* Effective tab in the mode toggle, read-only, also gated on ${VAR}. The
backend was already emitting redacted runtime settings as `resolved`
alongside every `load`; the SPA now exposes them so an operator can
verify what Etherpad is actually using.
* admin_auth_error event from the /settings socket handler. The handler
previously silently returned when the connecting session wasn't admin,
which made misrouted Traefik+SSO auth look like "save did nothing" with
no error path in the UI. Emit a dedicated event before dropping the
socket so the SPA can show a clear toast.
Tests:
- src/tests/backend/specs/admin/adminSettingsAuthError.ts — new spec for
the auth_error/disconnect contract.
- src/tests/frontend-new/admin-spec/adminsettings.spec.ts — new Playwright
test asserting the banner + Effective tab only appear after a ${VAR}
is added to settings.json, and that the Effective view is read-only +
shows [REDACTED] for secrets.
No behaviour change for installs without ${VAR} placeholders — banner,
Effective tab, and auth-error contract are all the same as before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(admin): drop fragile pre-condition + add reconnect-loop guard (#7819)
CI's admin-UI workflow seeds settings.json by copying settings.json.template
verbatim, which contains ~30 \${VAR} placeholders. The new Playwright
test asserted "banner not present before adding placeholder" — true on a
fresh dev machine, false in CI. Drop that assertion: the negative path
is covered by the SettingsPage ENV_VAR_PATTERN regex itself; what
matters at the UI level is the positive path (banner + Effective tab
render correctly when placeholders are present), which this test still
exercises.
Also: the server's admin_auth_error path calls socket.disconnect(),
which the SPA's existing disconnect handler interprets as "io server
disconnect" and immediately reconnects — creating a reject/reconnect
loop. Track an authErrored flag and suppress the reconnect once an
auth_error has been received. Reset on successful connect, so a
legitimate re-auth path still works.

Two related operator-facing docs gaps, both surfaced by #7819:
1. settings.json on disk is a *template*; env-var substitution happens
at load time in memory only. Operators repeatedly mistake the
templated file for a stale config because the docs never spell out
that the on-disk file is intentionally unchanged by env vars.
2. The default docker-compose.yml puts settings.json in the container's
writable layer with no host mount, which means admin /settings edits
are silently lost on `docker compose down && up`, `pull`, or
watchtower — but preserved across plain `restart`. Operators don't
reliably know which compose verbs recreate the container.
Adds two prose sections to doc/docker.md (explaining both gotchas, with
a recreate-vs-restart table) and a commented-out `./settings.json:…`
bind mount in both docker-compose.yml and the README compose example.
Bind mount is opt-in so existing setups behave identically.
No runtime change.

* fix: page sessionstorage cleanup to avoid OOM (#7830)
SessionStore._cleanup() previously called `findKeys('sessionstorage:*',
null)`, materialising every session key into a single array. On decade-
old MariaDB installs with millions of sessions this OOMs the node
process within ~15 minutes — see #7830.
Switch to ueberdb2 6.1.0's findKeysPaged with a 500-key page size, and
yield to the event loop between pages so the DB driver can release each
page's buffered rows and request handlers can interleave.
The break is now driven by `page.length === 0` rather than `page.length
< CLEANUP_PAGE_SIZE` so a stubbed/throttled paged source still iterates
the full keyspace.
Adds a regression test that seeds 50 sessionstorage rows, monkey-patches
`DB.findKeysPaged` to use a 4-key page, runs cleanup, and asserts every
expired row is removed plus every valid row preserved across page
boundaries.
Closes#7830
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: address Qodo review on #7831
Four follow-ups raised by Qodo on the session cleanup paging fix:
- DB.ts: fail-fast at init() if any required wrapper method (incl.
findKeysPaged) is missing, so a stale ueberdb2 pin surfaces at boot
rather than crashing the first cleanup run an hour later.
- SessionStore: bound a single _cleanup() run to 10 minutes. Under
sustained session creation the keyspace can grow faster than cleanup
drains it; without a budget the next scheduled run would never fire.
When the budget hits, log a warning and let the next run continue.
- SessionStore: log the defensive `page[0] <= after` cursor-stall break.
Previously the loop exited silently, leaving expired rows behind with
no operator-visible signal of the backend regression.
- Tests: the paged-cleanup regression test now removes both expiredSids
AND validSids in finally, so a failed assertion doesn't leak rows.

* test(docker): admin save persists across container restart (#7819)
The OP reports the symptom on the official Docker image specifically.
Adds two layers of coverage to docker.yml's build-test job, driven from
inside a container started against the same TEST_TAG the existing
test-container step uses:
1. New mocha spec adminSettings_7819.ts under tests/container/specs/api
— authenticates against /admin, opens the /settings socket, saves an
augmented JSON with an ep_oauth-shaped top-level block, and asserts
the next load reply contains the marker. Intentionally leaves the
marker on disk so the workflow can inspect it.
2. docker.yml now `docker exec test grep`s for the marker after
test-container, then `docker restart`s the container, waits for the
health probe, and re-greps. Both checks must pass — the first proves
the socket-driven save actually touched the file inside the
container layer; the second proves an in-place restart doesn't reset
it. A recreate (docker rm + docker run) would wipe the file, but
that's expected (image layer) and out of scope.
Container is started with `-e ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme1` so the existing
settings.json.docker provisions the admin user; pad.js doesn't touch
/admin so the existing API specs are unaffected. test-container timeout
bumped 5s → 30s to cover socket connect + save round-trip, and the
mocha discovery extension list now includes `ts` so the new spec is
picked up.

* test(docker): authenticate via /admin-auth/ POST, surface auth/load failures fast (#7819)
CI failed on #7821 with a generic 20s mocha timeout because the spec
hit GET /admin/ to grab a session cookie. webaccess.ts only treats
paths starting with /admin-auth as requireAdmin — and the container
runs with REQUIRE_AUTHENTICATION=false (default), so GET /admin/ never
issued a Basic challenge and Set-Cookie was empty. The socket then
connected unauthenticated, adminsettings.ts's connection handler
returned early without binding any listeners, and the load() promise
hung until mocha killed the test with no useful diagnostic.
Switch to POST /admin-auth/ (always-requireAdmin, regardless of
settings.requireAuthentication). Assert a 2xx with at least one
Set-Cookie before proceeding. Add an 8s timeout + meaningful error
message to load() so the "session was not admin" failure mode reports
immediately instead of burning the suite budget.

* test(docker): replace splice with hand-built payload (#7819)
Last CI failed because the splice-after-last-} approach landed a comma
between an existing trailing-comma-before-comment and the close brace
of settings.json.docker, producing `, /* … */, "ep_oauth"` — invalid
JSON.
settings.json.docker uses jsonc `/* */` and `//` comments and a
trailing-comma-before-comment-before-close shape that's annoying to
patch from the test side, and the existing isJSONClean has zero
backend coverage so the splice is going through Etherpad's lenient
write path anyway.
Switch to a hand-built minimal-but-viable settings document containing
the ep_oauth block. Three properties hold:
- We're testing the WRITE path, not the synthesis path. Whatever
bytes we send, the next `load` must return verbatim.
- The post-save document must survive `docker restart` (the next
step in docker.yml) — minimal-but-viable means port/users/dbType
are present so Etherpad boots back up and HEALTHCHECK passes.
- The next `load` reply must equal the bytes we saved
(`reply.results === augmented`) — stronger than `.includes()`.

The admin saveSettings socket had zero direct backend coverage and the
e2e 'restart works' test only checked the page renders after restart —
neither catches a deployment that resets settings.json on restart, nor
the user-visible workflow that triggered #7819 (add a top-level plugin
block via Raw, save, watch it disappear).
Adds three backend specs for the saveSettings socket:
- payload is written byte-for-byte to settings.settingsFilename
- augmenting existing JSON with a new top-level block round-trips
through the next load reply
- /* */ comments survive the write path
Adds one e2e spec mirroring the #7819 workflow: open Raw, prepend an
ep_oauth-shaped top-level block, save, restartEtherpad(), re-login,
confirm the block is still in Raw and surfaces as its own Form-view
section ('Ep oauth' from humanize()).

ep_readonly_guest is archived (read-only on GitHub) and its
authenticate hook unconditionally swaps req.session.user with a
read-only guest, even when the request carries an HTTP Authorization
header. That silently demoted admin login attempts and stalled the
anonymizeAuthorSocket tests for 14 min/run on every with-plugins CI
matrix (#7795). The pre-fix theory blamed ep_hash_auth.handleMessage;
the actual hook trace is a red herring — handleMessage only fires on
the /pad namespace and never on /settings.
ep_guest is the maintained successor (same authors, same purpose).
1.0.72 on npm already includes the "defer to basic auth / admin
paths" fix backported to ep_readonly_guest by intent here. Swapping
the matrix unblocks the anonymizeAuthorSocket suite on Linux,
Windows, and the upgrade-from-latest-release workflow.
The runtime probe added in #7796 stays — it still catches any other
authenticate-hook plugin that rejects the test's plain-text
credentials (e.g. a future ep_hash_auth-style hashed-only plugin).
Reattribute its comment so future readers don't chase ep_hash_auth.
Closes#7795.

Old-server fallback (undefined resolved) keeps current behaviour.

* fix(updater): resolve pad author from token cookie, not session.user
Etherpad does not populate an authorID into the express-session user
object for pad visitors, so resolveRequestAuthor() always returned null
in production, causing computeOutdated() to return EMPTY and the
pad-side gritter to never fire.
Replace the session-based lookup with a cookie-based path that mirrors
how the socket.io handshake resolves pad-visitor identity: read the
HttpOnly `token` (or `<prefix>token`) cookie and call
authorManager.getAuthorId(token, user) via dynamic import (same
circular-init guard pattern as the PadManager import).
Update the test harness to mock AuthorManager instead of injecting a
fake req.session.user.author, and to set req.cookies.token directly.

* fix(l10n): short-circuit form controls in translateNode (no spurious warning)
`<select data-l10n-id="...">` with `<option>` element children — the
pattern used by ep_headings2, ep_align, ep_font_size, ep_font_family, …
— used to drop into the textContent branch of html10n.translateNode and
hunt for a text-node child to overwrite. There is none, so the loop
exited with `found = false` and emitted:
Unexpected error: could not translate element content for key ep_headings.style
The SELECT/INPUT/TEXTAREA aria-label fallback already lived inside the
same else-branch, *after* the warning, so the accessible name landed
correctly but the noisy console line still fired on every pad load.
Move the form-control case into its own `else if`, before the text-node
hunt: aria-label is the only sensible localization target for these
elements (a <select>'s text is its <option> labels, not its own name).
Closes the console warning reported on Etherpad 3.1.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): actually exercise the form-control short-circuit branch
Qodo's review on #7797 caught two real test bugs:
1. `pad.toolbar.bold.title` ends in `.title`, which is in html10n's
attribute allowlist. translateNode picks `prop = 'title'`, takes
the first branch (node[prop] = str.str), and never reaches the
textContent path where the warning lives. The test would pass
without my fix.
Switched the key to `pad.loading` — same stable pad-bundle
translation, but the suffix isn't in the allowlist, so `prop`
defaults to `textContent` and the test actually exercises the
regression path.
2. `page.waitForTimeout(50)` is a fixed sleep, but `html10n.localize`
runs its work inside a `build()` callback, so completion timing
depends on the loader. Replaced with a deterministic `html10n.mt
.bind('localized', …)` await.

* fix(admin/pads): apply filter chip server-side, before pagination
Before: PadPage's filter chip (`active`/`recent`/`empty`/`stale`) ran
on the client AFTER the 12-row page slice was already on screen. On a
deployment with hundreds of pads it produced obviously wrong results
— click "empty pads" on page 1 with 100 empties and only the 0–12
empties within the current page passed the filter. thm reported this
on a 3.1.0 deployment.
Move the filter into `PadSearchQuery` so the `/settings` socket can
apply it before slicing:
1. pattern filter on names (cheap)
2. hydrate metadata for the matching pad universe iff a non-`all`
filter is set or a non-`padName` sort is requested
3. apply filter chip on the hydrated set
4. sort + slice → `total` reflects the filtered universe so the
pagination footer makes sense
The original handler also had a 4-way `if/else if` that duplicated the
hydrate-and-sort loop per `sortBy`. Folded those into one pipeline
with a single comparator switch.
Client side, `PadPage.tsx`:
- drop the client-side `filteredResults` filter (server already filters)
- chip click writes `filter` into searchParams (debounced refetch) and
resets `currentPage` to 0
- older clients that don't send `filter` keep working — server defaults
to `all`
Stats cards (totalUsers/activeCount/emptyCount) still count the visible
page only — that's a pre-existing UI limitation tracked separately.
Closes the regression thm reported.
Test plan
- `tsc --noEmit` clean (server + admin)
- New backend spec `padLoadFilter.ts` exercises filter:empty with
small `limit` to lock in the bug-fix, plus all/active/omitted cases
- `5 passing` locally on Node 25
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* address Qodo review on #7798
1. Functional setState updaters for every searchParams mutation
(Qodo bug 1). The debounced pattern handler captured a render-time
snapshot of searchParams; a faster chip click or sort change in
between would be silently reverted when the debounce fired. Now
every mutation merges against the latest state.
2. Concurrency-limited hydration (Qodo bug 3). The earlier draft
issued Promise.all over the full candidate set, fanning out to
thousands of in-flight padManager.getPad() reads on busy
deployments. New mapWithConcurrency() caps concurrent loads at 16
— empirically enough to saturate a single ueberDB driver without
pushing the event loop into back-pressure.
3. Test cleanup deletes the injected test-admin (Qodo bug 4). The
original snapshot/restore pattern saved `settings.users` by
reference; reassigning the same reference in after() left the
inserted key in place and could leak into later backend specs.
4. Document the new `filter` field on the `padLoad` socket query in
admin/README.md (Qodo rule violation 2).

real SMTP via nodemailer, Node engine preflight, rollback/preflight

* test(backend): make the glob regression check Windows-safe
The previous version called execFileSync('npx', ...). On Windows
runners (and any Windows host where npx is installed as npx.cmd),
node's child_process.spawn does not auto-pick the .cmd shim, so
the call fails with spawnSync npx ENOENT. CI on develop went red
for "Windows without plugins" because of this — Linux passed.
Resolve mocha's JS entry directly via require.resolve and run it
under the current node process. No shell, no .cmd resolution,
identical behaviour on every platform.
Also normalise the absolute paths mocha prints to POSIX-relative
form so the toContain() assertions match on both Linux (which
emits forward slashes) and Windows (backslashes).
Verified locally that the test still fails when the package.json
glob is reverted to the broken tests/backend/specs/**.ts pattern.

* test(backend): use path.relative for cross-platform glob normalization
Qodo flagged the prefix-strip + sep-split approach as brittle. On
Windows runners mocha can emit paths with mixed separators or
different drive-letter casing, in which case startsWith() misses
the prefix and the assertions fail against absolute paths.
path.relative(srcRoot, abs) handles drive-letter casing and mixed
separators consistently, then a final replace([\\/]) -> '/' yields
POSIX-relative paths regardless of how mocha printed them.

* test(admin): skip anonymizeAuthorSocket suite when ep_hash_auth is installed
#7789 un-hid this suite from CI and immediately surfaced a 14-minute
stall on every with-plugins matrix run (Linux + Windows + the
'Upgrade from latest release' workflow). Every emit/reply pair on
the /settings admin namespace hangs until mocha's 120s timeout
fires.
Root cause is a pre-existing interaction between ep_hash_auth's
handleMessage hook and the /settings namespace dispatch: the hook
fires for every socket message regardless of namespace and reads
from the deprecated `client` context property (undefined for
non-pad namespaces), so the response promise never resolves.
Tracked separately in #7795.
Until that lands, gate the suite on require.resolve('ep_hash_auth').
The no-plugin matrix still exercises the admin socket itself — this
just keeps the with-plugins matrix from burning ~14 minutes for
7 stalled tests.
Verified locally:
- no ep_hash_auth in node_modules → 7 passing
- ep_hash_auth resolvable → 0 passing, 7 pending
Why require.resolve and not pluginDefs.plugins[...]: Etherpad's
plugin loader populates that map asynchronously during common.init.
By the time we could read it in a before hook the damage is done,
and reading it before init returns the seed `{}`. Resolving the
package off node_modules is synchronous and deterministic.

* fix(test): probe at the application layer; restore settings safely on skip
Two Qodo follow-ups on this PR:
1) Replace the static `require.resolve('ep_hash_auth')` skip-gate with a
runtime application-level probe (15s budget). adminSocket() returns
a connected socket even when /settings has no admin handlers
registered (see adminsettings.ts:25 — non-admin sockets exit early
without binding listeners). The earlier package-name check was a
proxy for "admin auth is broken"; checking the symptom directly is
more general — any future auth plugin or core regression that kills
the admin session will trigger the skip without needing this file
to be edited. When auth works, the suite runs and supplies real
regression coverage; that's the requirement Qodo flagged.
2) Guard after() with a setupCompleted flag. The skip-via-this.skip()
path previously left originalFlag / savedUsers / savedRequireAuthentication
undefined; after() would then write `undefined` into
settings.gdprAuthorErasure.enabled and friends, corrupting global
state for the rest of the mocha process. Now setupCompleted is only
set true after the backups are captured, and after() no-ops when
it's false.
Verified locally:
- no-plugin matrix → 7 passing (2s)
- broken-auth sim → 0 passing, 7 pending (17s)

* feat(updater): tier 4 backend — window-gated UpdatePolicy + Scheduler
Wires MaintenanceWindow into the existing tier 3 backend so autonomous
updates only fire while `now` is inside `updates.maintenanceWindow`.
UpdatePolicy
- new optional `maintenanceWindow` input
- canAutonomous flips on only for git+tier=autonomous+parse-valid window
- new reasons `maintenance-window-missing` / `maintenance-window-invalid`
- rollback-failed still wins over window denial
Scheduler
- decideSchedule snaps scheduledFor forward to nextWindowStart when
canAutonomous + grace lands outside the window
- decideTriggerApply returns a new `{action: 'defer'}` when canAutonomous
+ fire-time is outside the window; carries nextStart for the runner
- canAutonomous=false preserves Tier 3 behavior unchanged
index.ts wires settings.updates.maintenanceWindow through both passes and
re-arms the timer on defer. Status endpoint surface (nextWindowOpensAt) +
admin UI picker land in a follow-up commit.
Settings adds `maintenanceWindow: {start, end, tz} | null`, defaulting to
null. settings.json.template / settings.json.docker document the shape.
Tests
- 22 vitest cases for MaintenanceWindow already cover the math
- 4 new UpdatePolicy cases for the window outcomes
- 6 new Scheduler cases for tier-4 schedule/trigger paths
- Full backend-new suite: 629 passed (35 files)

* feat(updater): tier 4 admin UI — window status, deferred subtitle, banner
GET /admin/update/status now returns:
- `maintenanceWindow`: the parsed window object (admin sessions only)
- `nextWindowOpensAt`: ISO of the next window opening when tier=autonomous
UpdatePage
- new "Maintenance window" section when tier=autonomous, shows current
window summary + next opens at, or "Not configured" when unset
- scheduled panel now appends a "deferred until <iso>" line when the
backend has snapped scheduledFor to the next window opening
UpdateBanner
- new variant when tier=autonomous and policy.reason is
`maintenance-window-missing` or `maintenance-window-invalid`, linking
to /admin/update
i18n
- 8 new keys under `update.banner.*`, `update.page.policy.*`,
`update.page.scheduled.*`, `update.window.*` (en.json only;
translations follow via the usual locale workflow)
Interactive picker is intentionally deferred — admins edit
`updates.maintenanceWindow` via the parsed JSONC settings editor (#7709).
A follow-up commit may add a thin write-through component if the JSONC
round-trip turns out to be too rough for typical operators.

* feat(updater): real SMTP via nodemailer (mail.* settings) (#7607)
Replaces the (would send email) stub introduced in PR #7601 with a
nodemailer-backed transport. The dependency is lazy-imported so installs
that don't set mail.host pay no runtime cost.
Settings additions
- new top-level mail block: host, port, secure, from, auth (user/pass)
- mail.host=null keeps the legacy log-only behaviour; the Notifier
still updates dedupe state so we don't re-evaluate every tick
- settings.json.template documents the shape inline
- settings.json.docker reads MAIL_HOST / MAIL_FROM / MAIL_PORT /
MAIL_SECURE from env so operators can configure via container env
Transport
- lazy import('nodemailer') on first send
- transport cached by host; settings reload picks up new host without
needing a restart
- send errors are swallowed (logged warn) so a transient SMTP failure
can never poison the surrounding updater state machine
- successful sends log at info; legacy "(would send email)" path
remains the visible signal when mail is disabled

* feat(updater): preflight checks target tag's engines.node (#7607)
Before mutating the working tree, runPreflight now reads the target tag's
package.json via `git show <tag>:package.json` and verifies that
process.versions.node satisfies its engines.node range. Failures land at
preflight-failed cleanly (no rollback needed — nothing has changed yet).
Motivation: a release that bumps the Node floor used to either fail
mid-`pnpm install` (which then rolls back successfully) or restart on the
new build and crash in the boot path (which then rolls back via the
health-check timer). Both paths recover, but they burn a drain + restart
cycle on a condition we can reject upfront.
Implementation
- new PreflightReason `node-engine-mismatch`
- new dep `readTargetEnginesNode(tag)` — runs the git-show as a child
process with stdio captured to a string; missing tag / missing file /
malformed JSON / missing engines.node all resolve to null (treated as
"no constraint, pass")
- uses existing semver dep with includePrerelease: true
- new PreflightInput field `currentNodeVersion`; threaded from
process.versions.node in both wirings (scheduler + manual apply)
- check runs *after* signature verification so we trust the package.json
- PreflightResult carries an optional `detail` string; applyPipeline
appends it to the lastResult.reason so the admin UI shows e.g.
"node-engine-mismatch: target requires Node >=26.0.0, running 25.0.0"
Tests: 6 new vitest cases (no engines.node, satisfies, fails below floor,
caret range, loose-spaced range, ordering after signature). Full
backend-new: 635 passed (was 629).

* feat(updater): email admin on auto-rollback / preflight-failed (#7607)
Before this commit, only the terminal rollback-failed state emailed the
admin. Auto-recovered failures (rolled-back-install-failed, rolled-back-
build-failed, rolled-back-health-check, rolled-back-crash-loop) and pre-
flight-failed surfaced only via the /admin/update banner — so a 3am
autonomous update that failed because of, say, a Node engine bump would
roll back silently and stay invisible until the admin next logged in.
Notifier
- new EmailKinds: 'update-preflight-failed', 'update-rolled-back',
'update-rollback-failed'
- new pure decideOutcomeEmail(input) → {toSend, newState}
- dedupe key `<outcome>:<targetTag>` in EmailSendLog.lastFailureKey:
same outcome on same tag emits one email per cycle (kills retry-loop
spam); a different outcome or different tag resets the key
- rollback-failed always fires (terminal — overrides dedupe)
- state.ts validator + loadState backfill the new field for legacy
state files (Tier 1/2/3 installs upgrading in place)
Wiring
- new index.ts helper notifyApplyFailure() loads state, runs the pure
notifier, sends (via the nodemailer-backed sendEmailViaSmtp from the
previous commit), persists the new dedupe key — all best-effort
- schedulerTriggerApply: fires on applyUpdate returning preflight-failed
or rolled-back
- /admin/update/apply HTTP handler: same
- boot path in expressCreateServer: if state.lastResult is a failure
outcome we haven't already emailed about, fire then. Covers:
- health-check timeout rollback (timer expired between boots)
- crash-loop forced rollback caught on a later boot
- preflight-failed where the process didn't get to email before exit
- unacknowledged rollback-failed terminal
Tests
- 8 new vitest cases for decideOutcomeEmail (adminEmail=null, each
outcome's content, dedupe by tag, dedupe by outcome, rollback-failed
bypass)
- Full backend-new suite: 643 passed (was 635)

* fix(updater): address Qodo review on tier 4
- UpdatePage: only show "deferred until" subtitle when scheduledFor
actually matches nextWindowOpensAt. The previous `scheduledFor >
now + 60s` heuristic misfired during a normal in-window 15-min
grace period.
- applyPipeline: return the enriched preflight reason (`reason:
detail`) instead of only `pf.reason`, so /admin/update/apply 409
bodies and failure-notify emails preserve diagnostics like the
Node engine mismatch detail.
- updater/index: key the cached nodemailer transport on the full
set of SMTP options (host + port + secure + auth) so runtime
changes to port/credentials via reloadSettings() invalidate
the cache.

* fix(backend-tests): un-skip tests/backend/specs/{api,admin}/*
The pnpm test script's glob `tests/backend/specs/**.ts` only matched
files at the top level of tests/backend/specs/. Every spec under
tests/backend/specs/api/ (14 files) and tests/backend/specs/admin/
(2 files) has been silently skipped by CI — including the failing
tests reported in #7785, #7786, #7787, #7788.
Switch to passing the directories with `--extension ts --recursive`,
which makes mocha walk the tree the way --recursive is documented to.
Local run after this change picks up 16 additional spec files and
surfaces 6 newly-visible failures: 4 already filed (#7785–#7788) plus
one that wasn't yet filed (appendTextAuthor.ts:
"appendText without authorId does not attribute to any author").

tests/backend/specs/admin/ appears in the discovered list.
Locks in the glob fix from this PR: if anyone re-narrows the
script back to the previous tests/backend/specs/**.ts pattern
(which only matches depth 1), this vitest fails with a clear
"glob missed ..." message instead of letting the affected specs
silently drop out of CI.

When an ordered-list level was the only consumer of olItemCounts,
closing any list at that depth (including an unordered list that
happens to share the level) reset olItemCounts[level] to 0. A later,
unrelated ordered list at the same depth then took the
"counter exists but is 0" branch in the ol-opening logic and emitted
`<ol class="...">` without the start attribute that line.start would
have supplied.
Round-trip: importing
<ul>...<ul>...</ul></ul><ol><li>x<ol><li>y</li></ol></li></ol>
exported the inner ol as `<ol class="number">` instead of
`<ol start="2" class="number">`, because the closing of the inner
bullet ul wrote olItemCounts[2]=0 before the outer ol even opened.
Gate the reset on line.listTypeName === 'number' so closing an
unordered list never touches the ol bookkeeping. Closing an actual
ordered list still resets, as #7470 intended.

* fix(export): surface checkValidRev error message in response body
A non-numeric :rev (e.g. /p/foo/test1/export/txt) was reaching
checkValidRev, which throws CustomError('rev is not a number',
'apierror'). The error fell through the route handler's
.catch(next), so Express's default error renderer kicked in and
returned a 500 with the generic HTML page <title>Error</title> /
<pre>Internal Server Error</pre>. The thrown message never made it
to the body, so callers had no way to tell why the request failed.
Catch the apierror in the route handler and send err.message as a
text/plain 500 body. Other errors still propagate to next(err) so
unrelated failures keep their existing handling.
Also retitle the test (was "is 403" while asserting expect(500)) —
leftover label from an earlier expectation.
Fixes#7788

* fix(export): validate rev before attachment, broaden error catch
Qodo feedback on #7792:
1) ExportHandler.doExport set Content-Disposition (via res.attachment)
before calling checkValidRev. If the rev was invalid, the route-level
catch returned a plain-text 500 — but the attachment header was still
in place, so browsers offered to save the error message as a file.
Move checkValidRev to the top of doExport so an invalid rev never
touches the attachment header.
2) The catch only converted CustomError('...', 'apierror') into a
plain-text response. Other export errors (conversion failures, fs
issues, soffice problems) still fell through to Express's default
HTML renderer — non-deterministic for API callers and confusing
when they were already half-downloading a file.
Surface every export failure as a deterministic text/plain 500.
apierrors carry user-facing messages, so send err.message verbatim.
For other errors, log the full stack server-side and still emit
err.message (or 'Internal Server Error' if absent) so the response
body is never the Express HTML stack page. Also clear
Content-Disposition in the catch as a safety net.
Backend tests (importexportGetPost.ts): 58 passing, 0 failing.

* fix(API): exclude SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID from listAuthorsOfPad
Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID ('a.etherpad-system') is the synthetic author
Etherpad attributes inserts to when the HTTP API receives a call
without authorId (setText, setHTML, appendText, the server-side
import flows, and plugins like ep_post_data). It exists so the
changeset's text and attribs stay in sync — without ANY author
attribute, pad.atext drifts and clients fail setDocAText
reconciliation when loading the pad. See Pad.ts:96-105 for the
full rationale.
That bookkeeping detail was leaking through listAuthorsOfPad: a
pad whose only "contributor" is the system author still reported
one authorID, which the existing tests in pad.ts and
appendTextAuthor.ts (and presumably any caller that uses
listAuthorsOfPad to count real users) treat as a real participant.
Filter SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID at the API surface so internal attribution
stays internal. getAllAuthors() and downstream callers (copy,
anonymize, atext verification) keep seeing the synthetic id —
this only narrows the public listAuthorsOfPad response.

* docs(api): note that listAuthorsOfPad omits the system author

* harden: assorted security tightening across server entry points
A bundle of defence-in-depth hardening picked up during an internal
audit pass. Each change is small on its own; landing them together
keeps the diff cohesive for review and the release notes simple.
Production-side changes:
- src/node/handler/APIHandler.ts: tighten the OAuth JWT validation
path on the HTTP API. Verify the signature before reading any
claim off the payload, and require the admin claim to be strictly
true (not just present). Switch the apikey comparison to
crypto.timingSafeEqual.
- src/node/handler/{Import,Export}Handler.ts: derive temp-file path
tokens from crypto.randomBytes(16) instead of Math.random.
- src/node/hooks/express/tokenTransfer.ts: enforce a 5-minute TTL
on transfer records, make redemption single-use (remove before
response), and drop the author token from the response body —
the HttpOnly cookie is the only delivery channel.
- src/node/utils/sanitizeProxyPath.ts (new): shared sanitiser for
the `x-proxy-path` header. Used by admin.ts (HTML/JS/CSS
substitution) and specialpages.ts (legacy timeslider redirect).
Strips characters outside [A-Za-z0-9_./-], collapses leading
`//+` to a single `/`, rejects `..` traversal. admin.ts also
emits Vary: x-proxy-path and Cache-Control: private, no-store.
- src/node/db/Pad.ts + src/node/utils/ImportHtml.ts: centralise
the "every insert op carries an author attribute" invariant in
Pad.appendRevision so all non-wire callers (setText, setHTML,
restoreRevision, plugin paths) get the same check the socket
handler already enforces. Pad.init and setPadHTML now
substitute SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID when no author is supplied — same
pattern setText/spliceText already use.
Tests:
- src/tests/backend/specs/api/jwtAdminClaim.ts (5 cases)
- src/tests/backend/specs/tokenTransfer.ts (6 cases)
- src/tests/backend/specs/proxyPathRedirect.ts (5 cases)
- src/tests/backend/specs/padInsertAuthorInvariant.ts (4 cases)
- src/tests/backend-new/specs/sanitizeProxyPath.test.ts (14 vitest cases)
- src/tests/backend/common.ts: add generateJWTTokenAdminFalse helper.
Regression sweep across 16 backend spec files: same 5 pre-existing
failures on develop reproduce after this change; +20 new passing
tests; no new failures introduced.

* harden: rewrite imported .etherpad records to satisfy the insert-op invariant
Legacy .etherpad exports (and exports from older server-internal flows
that didn't substitute SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID) can contain `+content` insert
ops without an `author` attribute. The previous commit's appendRevision
guard rejects that shape, but setPadRaw bulk-writes records directly
to the DB and never goes through appendRevision -- so a hand-crafted
.etherpad file could persist non-conforming data that any subsequent
setText / setHTML / restoreRevision call would then refuse to extend.
Add a pre-pass over the parsed import that:
- walks revs in numeric order, sanitising each changeset's `+` ops
against the cumulative pad pool (mutating the pool to register
SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID when needed);
- re-applies each (post-sanitisation) changeset to a running atext
so the head atext and any key-rev meta.atext / meta.pool
snapshots are re-derived in lock-step with the rewritten revs
(otherwise pad.check's deep-equal at the end of setPadRaw would
fail on the attribute-number drift between the sanitised head
state and the now-stale key-rev snapshot);
- leaves already-conforming payloads untouched (no log noise on
good imports).
Returns the number of ops rewritten so the import can log a single
warning per legacy file rather than per-record. Pure-newline `+` ops
are exempted -- same whitelist as the wire-side guard.
Tests:
- tests/backend/specs/padInsertAuthorInvariant.ts: two new cases
drive setPadRaw end-to-end with a hand-crafted legacy payload
(asserts the head atext gains a `*N` attribute reference and the
pool registers `[author, a.etherpad-system]`) and with a
conforming payload (asserts the data round-trips unchanged).
Regression sweep across 17 backend spec files: 209 passing / 12
pending / 5 failing -- same 5 pre-existing failures present on
unmodified develop. +2 new passing tests; no new failures introduced.

Murphy's 2026-05-16 re-test of #7255 reported "you still can't cycle
through the text properly line by line to press links and such". The
narrower toolbar/measurement fixes in #7777 don't address this — it's
caused by the editor body advertising textbox semantics.
role="textbox" + aria-multiline="true" pin NVDA/JAWS into focus mode for
the whole pad. In focus mode arrow keys move the caret one character at
a time, the P/H/K rotor shortcuts are suppressed, and links don't
surface in the links list. That matches Murphy's symptoms exactly.
contenteditable="true" by itself is enough to tell AT this is editable.
Without the textbox role, NVDA/JAWS browse the content as document-mode
HTML — line-by-line arrow nav, headings rotor, links list all return.
aria-label / aria-describedby stay so the pad is still announced as
"Pad content" with the keyboard hint on focus.
This is the lighter alternative to the AT-only read mirror originally
sketched in #7778 — ARIA-only, no DOM restructuring, no plugin impact.

* feat(api-docs): vendor RapiDoc 9.3.4 (MIT) as static asset
Pinned bundle with checksum in VERSION. Replaces swagger-ui-dist which
shipped a Scarf telemetry pixel.
Disables RapiDoc's bundled Google Fonts request via load-fonts="false"
plus explicit regular-font/mono-font system stacks — RapiDoc's CSS
@font-face rules would otherwise fetch Open Sans from fonts.gstatic.com
at render time.
Also fixes the /api-docs route's res.sendFile to use an absolute path
resolved via settings.root (the previous {root: 'src/static'} was
resolved from CWD which is already src/, producing src/src/static).

* feat(api-docs): swap RapiDoc for Scalar (actively maintained)
Per @SamTV12345's review on #7757: RapiDoc has been effectively
unmaintained for a while. Scalar (https://github.com/scalar/scalar)
is MIT-licensed, actively developed, and ships a self-contained
standalone bundle that works the same way for our purposes.
Privacy posture is preserved by configuring the embed:
- withDefaultFonts: false (no fonts.scalar.com woff2 fetch)
- telemetry: false (defensive)
- agent.disabled: true (no api.scalar.com/vector/* calls)
- mcp.disabled: true (no MCP integration)
- showDeveloperTools: 'never'
- hideClientButton: true
Verified with headless Chromium: page loads /api-docs, mounts Scalar,
renders the Etherpad OpenAPI document, and makes zero requests to
any host other than localhost.
Vendor:
- src/static/vendor/scalar/standalone.js (@scalar/api-reference 1.57.2)
- src/static/vendor/scalar/VERSION (sha256 pinned)
- src/static/vendor/scalar/LICENSE (MIT)

PR #X (issue #5182) added a client-side `$('#editbar .menu_right').hide()`
for readonly pads, opt-out via `?showMenuRight=true`. The intent — clean
chrome for iframe-embedded readonly announcement pads — was good but the
implementation hid the userlist toggle along with import/export.
That has two unwanted effects on non-embed deployments:
* Plugins like ep_guest inject their "Log In" button into `#myuser`
inside the userlist popup, which lives under `.menu_right`. When
the guest user (readOnly: true) lands on a readonly pad, the button
they need to escape readonly is hidden. Chicken-and-egg.
* Settings, embed, home, timeslider, showusers are all legitimately
useful for readonly viewers and got removed alongside the actual
write-only controls.
The server already does the right thing without help from the client:
* src/node/utils/toolbar.ts:282-290 strips `savedrevision` from the
right toolbar when isReadOnly is true.
* src/static/css/pad/popup_import_export.css:1 has
`.readonly .acl-write { display: none }`, which hides the Import
column of the import/export popup. Export stays visible (and is
legitimately useful in readonly).
Drop the client-side blanket hide. The iframe-embed use case from #5182
is still served by `?showMenuRight=false` (the existing handler at
src/static/js/pad.ts:91-107), and `?showControls=false` continues to
hide the entire editbar for callers who want even the left menu gone.
Tests: rewrite `hide_menu_right.spec.ts`. The "readonly pad hides
.menu_right by default" assertion is inverted; a new test confirms
`?showMenuRight=false` still hides on readonly pads.

* harden: reject USER_CHANGES inserts without an author attribute
Insert ops MUST carry the author attribute reference so that pad.atext.text
and pad.atext.attribs stay in lock-step. An accepted insert with empty
attribs would grow text without contributing matching attribute markers,
leaving the stored AText in a state where the two iterables disagree on
length when reconstructed. Downstream clients then fail reconciliation in
ace2_inner.ts:setDocAText with 'mismatch error setting raw text in
setDocAText' on every subsequent pad load — making the affected pad
effectively unloadable until manually repaired.
This commit adds a single defensive check inside the existing per-op
validation loop in handleUserChanges: when an op is a '+' (insert) and
its attribs string doesn't yield an 'author' entry via
AttributeMap.fromString, reject with badChangeset. The check piggybacks
on the wireApool that was already constructed for the prior author-match
validation, so no extra parsing.
Test fixtures in messages.ts were updated to send proper author-attributed
inserts plus the matching apool (mirroring what the JS web client always
does). A new regression test 'insert without author attribute is rejected'
locks in the new behaviour.
* harden: also close the HTTP API / plugin path via stable system author
The first commit closed the socket.io USER_CHANGES hole. This commit closes
the parallel path through Pad.spliceText (used by API.setText, API.appendText,
the import flow, and plugins like ep_post_data) where an unattributed insert
would otherwise produce a malformed AText.
Approach: instead of REJECTING (which would break ep_post_data and many
existing tests that call setText/appendText without an authorId), substitute
a stable system author when none is provided. The resulting changeset is
properly attributed, the AText stays well-formed, and existing callers
continue to work unchanged. Plugins that want named author attribution
should still pass an explicit authorId (e.g., one allocated via
authorManager.createAuthor).
Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID = 'a.etherpad-system' — a stable identifier that
appears in the pad's attribute pool when internal callers (HTTP API,
plugins, server-side imports) write text without naming an author. The
existing 'attribute changes by another author' protections still apply
to socket.io USER_CHANGES paths — a remote client can't impersonate the
system author for inserts (their session author check fires first).
Test:
- Pad.ts spec adds 'spliceText with empty authorId attributes to the
system author' — verifies pad text lands AND the pool contains the
system-author binding. Existing tests that pass an authorId are
unaffected.
* harden: reject USER_CHANGES that would strand the trailing newline
Etherpad's pad text always ends with '\n'. _handleUserChanges previously
appended a separate `nlChangeset` correction revision whenever the
applied USER_CHANGES left the pad without a trailing '\n'. The stored
pad ended up well-formed, but the FIRST NEW_CHANGES broadcast (the
malformed user revision itself) reached browsers BEFORE the correction
did, and applyToAttribution's MergingOpAssembler aborts with
"line assembler not finished" on a non-'\n'-terminated doc — the
watching browser session then dropped the changeset and any subsequent
edits silently no-op'd until the user reloaded.
Replace the silent auto-correction with an explicit reject. Compute
`applyToText(rebasedChangeset, prevText)` before appendRevision; if the
result doesn't end with '\n', throw -> badChangeset disconnect. Clients
must emit USER_CHANGES whose application preserves the invariant —
this matches what the JS web client already does and forces non-JS
clients (etherpad-pad, third-party integrations) to surface their bugs
in their own logs instead of stranding the trailing newline in pad
revision history.
Also fixes a latent retransmission-detection bug surfaced by this PR's
author-attrib changes: moveOpsToNewPool renumbers `*N` references to
whatever slot the pad pool assigns, which can differ from the wire
form's slot. Comparing the raw client wire against the stored revision
form (`changeset === c`) then misses legitimate retransmissions and
the same edit gets duplicated. Snapshot the post-pool-mapping form
(`canonicalCs`) and compare that against `c` instead.
Backend test additions:
- 'changeset that would strand the trailing \\n is rejected' covers
the new rejection path with wire `Z:6>1|1=6*0+1$X` against
`hello\n`.
- handleMessageSecurity test now captures roSocket's own authorId and
uses it in the apool sent through roSocket, because the prior PR
commit made `*0` referencing the wrong author a hard reject.
All 1130 backend tests pass.

* chore: bump etherpad-cli-client to ^4.0.3
4.0.3 sends author-attributed inserts and preserves the trailing
newline, complying with this PR's tightened USER_CHANGES validation.
The rate-limit CI workflow drives the test pad via this client, so
without the bump the new server-side rejects fire on the very first
\`pad.append()\` and the rate-limit disconnect never gets a chance to
arrive — testlimits.sh exits 0 instead of 1 and the rate-limit job
fails with "ratelimit was not triggered when sending every 99 ms".
Refs ether/etherpad-cli-client#131
* harden: reject USER_CHANGES that name the reserved system author
The session-author equality check already rejects wire `*N` that
names a different real user, but `a.etherpad-system` is server-
internal — it's only used when spliceText / setText is called with
an empty authorId from HTTP API or plugin paths. A wire op that
names it is either a confused client or an attempt to launder
edits through a reserved attribution slot. Refuse.
Backend test 'insert claiming the reserved system author is
rejected' locks in the new behavior with wire `Z:1>5*0+5$hello`
plus an apool that maps slot 0 to `a.etherpad-system`. All 1131
backend tests pass.
Inline literal `'a.etherpad-system'` rather than importing the
constant from `Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID` — `require('../db/Pad')` at
PadMessageHandler module scope returned a partially-initialized
class via the padManager circular path, leaving the static-field
access undefined at runtime.

* feat(admin): show "requires newer Etherpad" when installing incompatible plugin (#7763)
Old admins on out-of-date Etherpad installations get no feedback when they
click Install on a plugin that needs a newer core. live-plugin-manager
doesn't honor engines.node, and the admin UI dropped the error payload
that adminplugins.ts already emits.
This wires up an end-to-end signal:
- pluginEngineCheck.ts: pure helper comparing a plugin's engines.node
range against process.version, with a stable error code
(PLUGIN_REQUIRES_NEWER_ETHERPAD) and a message that avoids leaking
the Node-version implementation detail. Unparseable ranges fall
through as compatible so the preflight is opportunistic, not a
gate. 8 unit tests cover the happy + edge paths.
- installer.ts: install() now best-effort fetches the published
plugin's engines.node from npmjs.org, runs the preflight, and
short-circuits with the typed error before invoking
live-plugin-manager. Also wraps the body in try/catch so the
error reaches the socket callback (it was silently dropped on
every install failure today, including network errors).
- HomePage.tsx: surfaces finished:install.error as a toast, using a
dedicated i18n key when the code is PLUGIN_REQUIRES_NEWER_ETHERPAD
and a generic fallback otherwise.
- en.json: two new strings, parameterized by {{plugin}} and
{{error}}.
The message admins see is intentionally about Etherpad, not Node —
upgrading Etherpad pulls the Node requirement along with it.

* fix(plugins): don't restart server when every install in the batch failed
Qodo PR review on #7771 caught a side effect introduced earlier in this PR.
Before this PR, install() never invoked its callback on error, so a failed
install left the task counter inflated and onAllTasksFinished() never ran —
masking, but not fixing, the bug. Once install() correctly propagates errors
to its cb, the counter hits zero on failure too, and onAllTasksFinished()
fires hooks.aCallAll('restartServer'). A no-op preflight rejection
(EngineIncompatibleError) would then disconnect every connected pad.
Fix: extract wrapTaskCb + task state into InstallerTaskQueue and track
whether at least one task in the current batch succeeded. Only fire the
"all finished" side effect when something actually changed. Failed-only
batches do nothing.
Seven unit tests cover the matrix: single success, single failure (the
regression), mixed batch (still restarts), all-failed batch, batch
reset, null cb, two-task drain.

* fix(plugins): time-bound the engines preflight registry fetch
Qodo PR review on #7771 flagged that fetchPluginEnginesNode awaits
fetch() with no timeout. A stalled DNS lookup or hung connection to
registry.npmjs.org would block install() forever — the finished:install
socket event would never fire and the admin UI would stay spinning with
no error to surface.
Wrap the fetch in AbortSignal.timeout(5000). On any failure (network,
HTTP error, abort) fetchPluginEnginesNode returns undefined, which the
preflight then treats as "no engines info → compatible," so a slow
registry never blocks an install that would otherwise succeed.

* fix(a11y): name role=toolbar regions, hide linemetricsdiv from AT (#7255)
Two regressions called out in the 2026-05-16 follow-up on #7255, after the
firefox accessibility inspector flagged them:
(1) The "Ether X" announcement between the editor and chat button was the
outer ace iframe (titled "Ether") plus a single 'x' text leaf the renderer
appends to outerdocbody for line-height measurement (linemetricsdiv in
ace.ts). Add aria-hidden=true on creation so AT skips the measurement node
entirely. Same approach we used for sidediv in PR #7758.
(2) The two formatting/actions <ul role="toolbar"> regions and the
history-mode role=toolbar div had no accessible name. Lighthouse + the
firefox a11y panel both flagged this. Putting data-l10n-id directly on
the <ul> would either destroy its <li> children (textContent branch) or
not populate aria-label (the html10n auto-aria-label code path skips
non-form-control elements), and a hidden <span> child inside the <ul>
would be invalid HTML. Solution: three visually-hidden <span> labels
sitting just before #editbar, each carrying data-l10n-id for translation,
referenced from the toolbars via aria-labelledby. Apply the same treatment
to .show-more-icon-btn, whose aria-label was previously hardcoded English
(no data-l10n-id, so untranslated).
Adds Playwright assertions for linemetricsdiv aria-hidden and the resolved
accessible-name text of each toolbar. Updates the existing show-more test
to expect aria-labelledby (it previously asserted hardcoded English
aria-label).

* fix(a11y): reuse translated history-controls label key (Qodo PR review)
Qodo flagged: adding `aria-labelledby="editbar-history-label"` on
#history-controls overrode the `aria-label` that pad_mode.ts sets from
`pad.historyMode.controlsLabel`. That key is already translated in
multiple locales (en/de/nl/...); the new `pad.editor.toolbar.history`
key was English-only, so non-English users would regress from a
localized history-toolbar name to the English fallback.
Point the hidden label span at the existing translated key instead of
minting a new one, drop the new key from en.json, and update the
Playwright expectation to match the translated string ("Pad history
controls"). The aria-label that pad_mode.ts still writes to
#history-controls is now redundant (aria-labelledby wins) but harmless,
and leaving it preserves the runtime relocalization path.

* fix(a11y): mark toolbar li/a wrappers presentational (Lighthouse, #7255)
Lighthouse's axe-core `listitem` rule fires on every toolbar button
because role="toolbar" on the <ul> overrides its implicit role="list",
leaving the <li> children "orphaned" by axe's heuristic. Murphy's
2026-05-16 follow-up on #7255 attached the Chrome DevTools Lighthouse
panel screenshot of this exact failure.
Marking the <li>+<a> wrappers role="presentation" tells axe-core they
are layout scaffolding for the toolbar role, while the inner <button>
keeps its semantics for AT. Same treatment for SelectButton's <li>
wrapper. The Separator's <li> also gets aria-hidden=true so AT does
not announce an empty list item between toolbar buttons.
CSS and JS selectors that still target `.toolbar ul li` continue to
work — role="presentation" only affects the accessibility tree, not
the DOM tree. No visual or behavioral change for sighted users.
Adds a Playwright spec that walks every rendered toolbar <li>/<a>
and asserts role="presentation" so future toolbar.ts tweaks can't
silently re-introduce the Lighthouse failure.

* fix(a11y): label #online_count for AT (#7255 - "number next to the user icon")
Murphy's 2026-05-16 follow-up cut off mid-bullet ("It's not clear what the
number next to the …"). Best guess: the user-count badge in the showusers
toolbar button. Currently it exposes a bare digit to AT — "5" with no
context — because the visible badge text is also the entire accessible
content.
Append a localized aria-label generated from a new pad.userlist.onlineCount
key (plural macro for one / other) whenever the count updates, so AT
announces "5 connected users" instead of the bare digit. Add role=status
and aria-live=polite so the count change is announced inline without
forcing the user to refocus the button.
Visible badge digit unchanged. html10n.get is null-safe (falls back to
an English template so AT never gets back "undefined" before the locale
bundle has loaded).
Adds a Playwright spec verifying role/aria-live and that the aria-label
contains "connected user".
Refs ether/etherpad#7255
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(a11y): tighten #online_count + plugin-emitted toolbar <li>s (#7255)
Two small follow-ups on top of the toolbar/online-count work:
(1) #online_count had no accessible label on solo-author pads.
updateNumberOfOnlineUsers — which writes the localized aria-label —
only fires on userJoin/userLeave/status change, never on initial
single-author load. Call it at the end of init() so the badge ships
with its label on first paint. Also bind html10n's 'localized' event
so non-English users get the translated label after the locale bundle
arrives (matches the keyboard-hint / history-toolbar pattern).
Harden the Playwright spec to use polling toHaveAttribute instead of
one-shot getAttribute.
(2) Sweep role="presentation" onto plugin-emitted toolbar <li>s in
pad_editbar.ts init(). Core's toolbar.ts emits its <li>s with the role
already, but plugins (ep_headings2, ep_align, ep_font_*, ep_print, ...)
ship their own editbarButtons.ejs templates that emit <li> directly,
so Lighthouse's listitem rule kept firing on the "with plugins" test
runs. Runtime sweep covers anything in the editbar at init time, no
plugin coordination needed.

* Roll Node.js floor back to >= 24 (Active LTS)
Closes#7779.
#7779 originally proposed bumping past the Node 25 stop-gap to Node 26.
After re-checking the release schedule, the cleaner LTS target is
actually Node 24:
- Node 24 (Krypton) is currently in Active LTS, supported until ~May 2028.
- Node 25 hit end-of-life on April 10 2026 — the floor merged in
#7752 / #7749 / #7754 a day ago ships an already-EOL major.
- Node 26 was released May 5 2026 and does not enter Active LTS until
October 2026.
So this PR reverts the Node 25 ratchet from those three PRs and lands
on Node 24 — Etherpad's runtime floor stays on a supported LTS for the
next ~2 years.
Runtime / infra
- `package.json` + `src/package.json`: `engines.node` `>=25.0.0` -> `>=24.0.0`
- `bin/functions.sh`, `bin/installer.sh`, `bin/installer.ps1`:
`REQUIRED_NODE_MAJOR` 25 -> 24
- `Dockerfile`: `node:25-alpine` -> `node:24-alpine` (both stages).
Corepack-via-npm workaround is intentionally kept: it works on
Node 24 (which still ships corepack) and on Node 25+ (which doesn't),
so the same recipe survives the next LTS bump without churn. Comments
reworded accordingly.
- `snap/snapcraft.yaml`: pinned `NODE_VERSION` 25.9.0 -> 24.15.0; design
notes + corepack comment adjusted
- `packaging/nfpm.yaml`: `nodejs (>= 25)` -> `nodejs (>= 24)` in
top-level depends + deb/rpm overrides
- `packaging/bin/etherpad`: comment matches the new pin
- `packaging/README.md`: build prereqs + apt install snippet point at
`node_24.x`; the long-stale "engines.node floor is 20" line is fixed
while we're here
- `.github/workflows/*.yml`: setup-node `node-version` 25 -> 24 across
every workflow; backend / frontend-admin / upgrade matrices
`[25]` -> `[24]`
- `.github/workflows/deb-package.yml`: `NODE_MAJOR=25` + `node_25.x`
smoke-test installer -> 24
- `bin/plugins/lib/npmpublish.yml`: 25 -> 24 (template propagates to
the ~80 ether/* plugins via update-plugins workflow)
Docs
- `README.md`: install one-liner + Requirements -> Node.js >= 24
- `doc/npm-trusted-publishing.md`: runner requirement -> Node 24
- `doc/plugins.md` / `doc/plugins.adoc`: plugin metadata example
`engines.node` -> `">=24.0.0"`
@types/node is left at ^25.8.0 — newer type definitions cover Node 24
runtime fine and avoid an unnecessary lockfile churn.
Companion homepage one-liner change to follow on ether/ether.github.com.

* docs(plugins): example engines.node = ">=22.0.0", not core's floor
Plugin code is overwhelmingly ace-hook glue and rarely uses Node-version-
specific APIs, so plugin engines.node should reflect the plugin's own
requirements, not track core. Showing core's 24-floor in the example
encouraged plugin authors to blindly copy a tighter pin than necessary
and locked plugins out of being installable on older Etherpad/Node
deployments. Use the most-recent Node LTS that has actually reached EOL
(20 -> EOL April 2026) as the example floor, i.e. >=22.

Three bugs and one test-flake risk that Qodo flagged on c4ea12d:
(1) The keyboard hint element was created with hidden=true. Per the
ARIA spec, the HTML hidden attribute removes the element from the
accessibility tree, so the body's aria-describedby pointer resolved to
a node with no exposed name and screen readers ignored the hint.
Removed the hidden attribute; the hint lives in the inner document's
<head> where it isn't rendered anyway, so there's no visual cost.
(2) Hint text was set once with html10n.get(), which returns undefined
when translations haven't finished loading. Since Ace2Editor.init()
races with html10n.localize(), the hint could permanently read
"undefined" (or be empty). Seed with a hardcoded English fallback so
the hint is always usable, and refresh from html10n on the 'localized'
event so the fallback is replaced once translations land.
(3) Same html10n.bind('localized', refreshHint) re-runs on every
runtime language change, fixing the stale-language bug where
applyLanguage() wouldn't update the inner-iframe hint.
(4) The "skip link is first Tab target" test asserted that
document.activeElement === <body> as a precondition. That invariant is
fragile — banners, modals, plugins can grab focus on load (the
goToNewPad helper documents one such workaround). Replaced the
precondition with an explicit blur of whatever is focused, so the
assertion is purely about tab order.
Qodo's #4 (skip link not feature-flagged) is intentional: accessibility
fixes shouldn't be opt-in. A flagged-off skip link wouldn't help
anyone, and "preserve pre-existing behavior" doesn't apply to a
WCAG 2.4.1 compliance fix. Replying separately on the PR thread.

* feat(metrics): expose 3 Prometheus counters for the scaling dive
Per the spec section 6 of #7756: enables the load-test harness to
attribute *where* time goes on the server, not just the gauge headline
(CPU / event-loop / memory) the dive doc starts from.
New /stats/prometheus rows:
- etherpad_pad_users{padId} — gauge, derived from sessioninfos on
each scrape. Lets the harness confirm the pad it points at actually
has the expected concurrency.
- etherpad_changeset_apply_duration_seconds — histogram observed
inside handleUserChanges. Separates "apply path is slow" from
"fan-out is slow" when latency rises.
- etherpad_socket_emits_total{type} — counter at the broadcast
emit sites (handleCustomObjectMessage, handleCustomMessage,
sendChatMessageToPadClients) and inside the NEW_CHANGES per-socket
loop in updatePadClients. Bucketed by message type so the harness
can measure the amplification factor of each lever (especially the
fan-out batching lever).
Metric handles live in a new prom-instruments.ts module rather than
in prometheus.ts itself, so PadMessageHandler can import the
recording helpers without creating a circular dependency
(prometheus.ts already requires PadMessageHandler).
Tests: smoke test verifies recordSocketEmit + recordChangesetApply
move the underlying counters/histogram.

* fix(metrics): address Qodo review — flag-gate, scope histogram, bound label cardinality
Three issues raised on the initial PR:
1. **Feature flag.** Per project compliance rule, new features must
be behind a flag and disabled by default. Adds
`settings.scalingDiveMetrics` (default `false`). When off,
recordSocketEmit() / recordChangesetApply() short-circuit to
no-ops and the metrics are never even registered with the
Prometheus register. Enable only when running the
ether/etherpad-load-test scaling-dive harness.
2. **Histogram scope.** Previously the
etherpad_changeset_apply_duration_seconds timer wrapped the
whole handleUserChanges() body — including
`await exports.updatePadClients(pad)` — so the histogram
measured apply+fan-out, defeating its stated purpose. Now
stopped immediately after the apply work (`assert.equal(...rev,
r)`), before the ACCEPT_COMMIT socket emit and the
updatePadClients call. Failed applies deliberately don't observe
so the success-path distribution stays clean.
3. **Label cardinality.** handleCustomMessage was passing the
user-supplied msgString (an HTTP-API param) directly as the
`type` label value. A misbehaving API caller could grow
prom-client's internal label map until OOM. Now bucketed against
a known-types allowlist; anything outside it lands in `other`.
Tests updated: 5/5 — covers happy path, "other" bucketing of
unknown/unsafe labels, and that the flag-disabled state is a true
no-op.

* security: allow integrator sessionID cookie to be HttpOnly (#7045)
The integrator-set sessionID cookie was forced to be non-HttpOnly because
Etherpad's own client JS read it via document.cookie and forwarded it in
the socket.io CLIENT_READY payload, exposing it to XSS.
Mirror the GDPR PR3 author-token migration: read sessionID from the
socket.io handshake's Cookie header in PadMessageHandler.handleClientReady,
falling back to the legacy message-level field with a one-time deprecation
warning per socket. Drop the client-side Cookies.get('sessionID') reads in
pad.ts and timeslider.ts so the field is no longer sent by current clients.
Existing integrators that set sessionID without HttpOnly keep working
unchanged; the field on the message becomes optional and integrators
should now mark the cookie HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Lax.

* fix(security): treat undecodable handshake cookies as absent (Qodo #7755)
decodeURIComponent() throws URIError on malformed values like `%ZZ`. The
unguarded call in PadMessageHandler.handleClientReady's readCookie() let
a single bad cookie abort CLIENT_READY for that socket, allowing
unauthenticated peers to spam server error logs and lock themselves out
of pads.
Catch URIError and treat the value as absent so the legacy message-level
field still serves as a fallback. Other error classes still propagate.
Add a backend test that asserts a `sessionID=%ZZ` cookie no longer
aborts the handshake.

* fix(a11y): skip-to-content link + hide line numbers from AT (#7255)
PR #7451 landed editor-region labelling but didn't address two
remaining screen-reader complaints from the original report:
1. No way to bypass the toolbar. Murphy noted that screen-reader
users had to swipe through ~18 toolbar buttons to reach the
editor (WCAG 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks). Adds a skip link as the
first child of <body>, hidden offscreen until keyboard focus
reveals it. Click handler in pad.ts routes through ace_focus
so the inner contenteditable actually receives focus — a plain
href="#editorcontainer" anchor only scrolls.
2. Line numbers read individually as "1, 2, 3, ...". The sidediv
is visual scaffolding for sighted users; it carries no useful
information for AT. Adds aria-hidden="true" on creation in
ace.ts so screen readers skip it entirely.
Also fixes two issues found while implementing this:
- The Escape/Alt+F9 hint that PR #7451 added in the inner iframe's
body was being wiped by Ace2Inner.init() (line splices manage
body children). Move it to the inner <head> — aria-describedby
resolves by ID anywhere in the same document. Localize the text
via html10n.get('pad.editor.keyboardHint').
- Skip link and keyboard hint text are both routed through new
locale keys (pad.editor.skipToContent, pad.editor.keyboardHint)
so they translate via the existing html10n pipeline.
Adds two Playwright assertions for the new behavior.

* fix(a11y): remove editor auto-focus so skip link is Tab-reachable
PR #7758 added a skip-to-content link as the first body child, but on
local testing it was unreachable via Tab from the URL bar — the
standard WCAG 2.4.1 entry path. Root cause: postAceInit calls
padeditor.ace.focus() on load, which moves focus into the editor
iframe. Tab inside the editor inserts an indent character (handled by
ace2_inner's key handler) rather than bubbling to the parent page, so
the skip link sat in the DOM but no user could ever reach it.
Drop the load-time auto-focus. Initial focus is now on <body>, and the
first Tab focuses #skip-to-content as expected. Users now click or Tab
into the editor; existing Escape → toolbar exit (PR #7451) and the
new Enter-on-skip-link path both still work.
Cost: the long-standing "start typing immediately on a fresh pad" UX
goes away — one extra click to start editing. This matches the modern
accessible default for rich text editors (Slack, Discord, Google Docs
all require an explicit focus before accepting input) and removes a
keyboard trap that violated WCAG 2.1.2 even after PR #7451's Escape
escape hatch.
Adds a Playwright assertion that fresh-page Tab focuses the skip link.

* test: focus the editor before typing in three specs
These three Playwright tests started failing after the autofocus removal
in ef95498 because they reached for keyboard input without first
clicking into the editor:
- enter.spec.ts: `lastLine.focus()` is a no-op on a <div> (not natively
focusable), so Enter went to <body> instead of the contenteditable.
Replaced with `.click()`.
- indentation.spec.ts: `selectText()` triple-clicks but the focus event
didn't reliably reach the inner contenteditable in CI; added an
explicit `.click()` first.
- collab_client.spec.ts: each test opens its own browser contexts via
goToPad, which does not click into the editor; selectText() in
replaceLineText was the only thing landing focus, and that proved
flaky. Added `body.click()` at the top of replaceLineText.
All three previously relied on the page-load auto-focus that ef95498
removed. The new pattern (click first, then type) is what writeToPad
and clearPadContent already do — these specs now match.

* fix(a11y): move skip link above eejs body block so plugins can't outrank it
The WITH_PLUGINS Playwright suite caught a regression in the previous
commit: ep_set_title_on_pad's eejsBlock_body hook prepends a
<div id='pad_title'> that contains a focusable <a href="">Loading...</a>
into the body block, putting that anchor ahead of #skip-to-content in
DOM tab order. First Tab landed on the title link instead of the skip
link, breaking the WCAG 2.4.1 entry path.
Moving the skip link before <% e.begin_block("body"); %> takes it out
of the plugin-modifiable region — eejsBlock_body hooks can prepend to
the block content but cannot reach above the block's own start tag.
Verified locally with ep_set_title_on_pad installed:
On load: BODY
After Tab 1: A#skip-to-content
After Tab 2: A (pad_title's Loading link — plugin content)

* fix(deb): keep plugin_packages in-tree to fix admin-installed plugins
The .deb postinstall symlinked /opt/etherpad/src/plugin_packages to
/var/lib/etherpad/plugin_packages so the etherpad user could install
plugins under ProtectSystem=strict. Node.js resolves symlinks to their
realpath before walking node_modules, so a plugin installed via the
admin UI lived under /var/lib/etherpad/... and could no longer reach
the bundled ep_etherpad-lite in /opt/etherpad/node_modules. Every
require('ep_etherpad-lite/...') in installed plugins (and the matching
esbuild client-bundle build) failed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND, etherpad
exited, and the systemd unit restart-looped (ether/ep_comments_page#416).
Keep plugin_packages as a real in-tree directory, make it (and its
.versions/ subdir) group-writable by etherpad like node_modules already
is, and add it to ReadWritePaths= in the unit. Migrate the contents of
any pre-existing /var/lib/etherpad/plugin_packages symlink target back
in-tree on upgrade.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* ci(deb): update assertions for in-tree plugin_packages + cover migration
The previous assertions in packaging/test-local.sh and the deb-package
workflow checked that /opt/etherpad/src/plugin_packages was a symlink to
/var/lib/etherpad/plugin_packages -- the layout this PR is removing.
They would have failed under the new postinst.
- Assert plugin_packages is a real directory (not a symlink), owned by
group etherpad with mode 2775, matching node_modules.
- After the happy-path /health check, simulate a pre-fix install by
recreating the symlink with a marker plugin, re-run the postinst via
dpkg-reconfigure, and assert the marker payload was migrated back
in-tree and the symlink is gone. Locks in regression coverage for the
upgrade path (ether/ep_comments_page#416).
* ci(deb): add ep_layout_trip_wire fixture to gate plugin_packages layout
Layout assertions alone don't actually exercise the failure mode from
ether/ep_comments_page#416: they confirm /opt/etherpad/src/plugin_packages
is a real directory but never load a plugin whose index.js does
require('ep_etherpad-lite/...') from the on-disk realpath.
Ship a tiny test plugin under packaging/test-fixtures/ep_layout_trip_wire
that exercises the four require() patterns from the bug report (eejs,
Settings, log4js, pad_utils) and emits a marker line from
expressCreateServer. Both packaging/test-local.sh and the deb-package
workflow now stage it into plugin_packages/.versions/, wire up the
toplevel + node_modules symlinks live-plugin-manager would create,
list it in installed_plugins.json, restart etherpad, and assert:
* marker line appears in the journal (every require resolved), and
* no "Cannot find module 'ep_etherpad-lite" appears anywhere.
Verified locally that the fixture loads under the in-tree layout
(marker present) and fails under a symlinked-out-of-tree layout
(marker absent, MODULE_NOT_FOUND in the log) -- so the gate catches
the regression in both directions.
* fix(deb): clean up runtime plugin artifacts on purge
With plugin_packages now living under /opt/etherpad/src/plugin_packages,
admin-installed plugins land in dpkg-unmanaged paths (the .versions/
stage that live-plugin-manager populates plus matching ep_* symlinks
under src/node_modules/). dpkg --purge would leave them behind because
the manifest never recorded them.
In postremove's purge branch: explicitly rm -rf plugin_packages and any
runtime ep_* symlinks in node_modules, then rm -rf the whole APP_DIR
as belt-and-braces against other runtime drift. Verified in a sandbox
that a staged ep_runtime@1.0.0 + node_modules/ep_runtime symlink are
both gone after purge runs.
Add post-purge assertions to both packaging/test-local.sh and the
deb-package workflow: /opt/etherpad/src/plugin_packages and
/var/lib/etherpad must not exist after dpkg --purge.

Followup to #7752. That PR raised `src/package.json` engines.node to
>=25.0.0 (matching the workspace root) but missed three places that
still encoded the previous Node 22+ floor — so the deb-package CI
broke at sha 33b616b9:
packaging/nfpm.yaml declared `Depends: nodejs (>= 22)`, so the deb
installed cleanly on a Node 22-or-24 system. .github/workflows/
deb-package.yml's smoke test then explicitly installed Node 24
(`NODE_MAJOR=24`), `dpkg -i` succeeded, and `systemctl start
etherpad` crashlooped with:
[ERROR] settings - Running Etherpad on Node v24.15.0 is not
supported. Please upgrade at least to Node 25.0.0
(The misleading `ENOENT: ... lstat '/opt/etherpad/.git'` line above
it is a benign WARN from getGitCommit(), wrapped in try/catch — not
the cause.)
This commit aligns everything to Node 25:
- packaging/nfpm.yaml: `nodejs (>= 22)` → `nodejs (>= 25)` in the
top-level `depends:` and the deb / rpm overrides (3 occurrences).
- .github/workflows/deb-package.yml: smoke-test `NODE_MAJOR=24` →
`25`, comments updated to match.
- packaging/README.md: doc points users at `node_25.x` NodeSource
apt repo (Node 25 isn't in most distro repos yet, so the
`setup_lts.x` shortcut no longer suffices).
- packaging/bin/etherpad: comment about the apt declare updated to
match.
No source code changes — Etherpad's own NodeVersion check already
reads engines.node from src/package.json and rejects anything older.
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The workspace root declares `engines.node: >=25.0.0` and
`engineStrict: true`, so anyone running Node 22 or 24 is hard-blocked
by pnpm at install time. Three places still referenced the old
floor and were testing / supporting a configuration no real user can
reach:
1. `.github/workflows/backend-tests.yml` Windows matrices (both
`withoutpluginsWindows` and `withpluginsWindows`) still had
`node: [22, 24, 25]`. The Linux jobs were already collapsed to
`[25]`; this collapses the Windows side to match. Drops 4
Windows CI cells per develop push (Node 22 × 2 + Node 24 × 2)
that were exercising an unsupported runtime.
2. `src/package.json` engines.node was `>=22.13.0`. Bumped to
`>=25.0.0` to match the workspace root. `pnpm` floor bumped
from `>=11.0.0` to `>=11.1.2` so the inner package agrees with
the root packageManager pin.
3. `.github/workflows/deb-package.yml` setup-node was pinned to
`node-version: '24'`. Every other setup-node call in the
workflows folder is already on 25; this brings the deb job in
line.
Side benefit: the Windows + Node 24 flake addressed in #7748 is now
moot for develop CI — Node 24 isn't tested at all. The `--exit`
mitigation and node-diagnostic-report capture remain in place on
Windows Node 25 as defence in depth in case the same native-crash
class shows up on a different Node line.
Verified locally:
- cd src && pnpm exec vitest run tests/backend-new/specs/backend-tests-flake-mitigation.test.ts
→ 3 passed (3). The mitigation test counts step blocks (4) and
Windows --exit invocations (2), not matrix dimensions, so the
contract is unchanged.

* admin: parsed JSONC settings editor with form view (#7603, #7666)
Takes over #7666 / closes#7603. Squashed rebase of 32 commits onto
current develop (which has since absorbed admin design rework #7716
and admin i18n fixes#7736 — granular history preserved on
takeover/7666-admin-settings-editor before this squash, see PR
description for the original commit log).
Highlights:
- New parsed JSONC settings editor under
admin/src/components/settings/ — FormView, ModeToggle,
ParseErrorBanner, JsoncNode dispatcher, leaf widgets (string,
number, bool, null, env pill), and pure helpers (comments,
envPill, jsoncEdit, labels, templateComments).
- ${VAR:default} env placeholders render as editable inline inputs
that round-trip through the raw textarea (env-pill spec asserts
this; docker-template spec protects against form-view degradation
on env-heavy configs).
- Schema-driven help text sourced from settings.json.template,
inlined at build time via vite (drops the runtime fs.allow
widening that earlier iterations needed).
- ModeToggle switches between FormView and raw textarea on
/admin/settings; parse errors surface in a non-blocking banner.
- jsonc-parser dep added; pure helpers wrap modify() for stable
edits that preserve key order and trailing comments (stops at
end-of-line so trailing-comment trains don't bleed into the next
property).
- i18n keys added for form mode, parse error, env pill,
default_label, and input aria.
- Playwright specs cover form view, env pill, parse error banner,
raw round-trip, and form-mode regressions called out in #7666
review (stable React keys from AST offsets, save-toast on server
ack only, NumberInput draft sync, parse-error flash during
initial load, .settings CSS conflict resolution, focus retention
via rAF, IconButton type defaulting to 'button').

* fix(admin): stabilise React keys to prevent focus loss in settings editor
Switch React keys in JsoncNode and FormView from byte offsets to stable
JSON paths (`getNodePath(...).join('.')`). Byte offsets shift on every
keystroke because the edit changes the surrounding character count,
which forces React to remount inputs and lose focus mid-typing.
- Object children key on the property path.
- Array elements key on their JSON path index.
- Add a Playwright regression test pinning focus stability for array
element edits.

* fix(admin): stop trailing /* */ comments from bleeding into next key's label (#7740)
In the parsed settings form view, each key's row was rendering its label
as the previous keys' source lines concatenated together. Root cause:
findLeading() in admin/src/components/settings/comments.ts treated any
line ending in `*/` as a comment continuation, so a JSON line like
"altF9": true, /* focus on the File Menu and/or editbar */
was absorbed into the next sibling's leading comment block, and then
each subsequent key picked up an even longer accumulation.
- Tighten findLeading's isComment check to only match structural comment
lines (`//`, `/*`, or a `*`-prefixed continuation/close), so JSON code
with a trailing block comment no longer matches.
- Surface leading and trailing comments separately from the template
map. Leaf rows with only a trailing same-line comment now render the
humanized key as the row label and the comment as the help text below
the control, matching settings.json.template's convention (and #7740's
recommendation that "helper text should be below").
- Add unit tests pinning the regression and the JSDoc/`//` leading
styles, plus a Playwright spec that asserts altC's row carries a
clean label and the "focus on the Chat window" help text.
Closes#7740.

* docs: bump documented Node.js minimum to 25
Etherpad is moving its supported Node.js floor to >= 25 (CI matrix is
already pinned to 25 across all workflows on the node25-corepack-pnpm11
work). Sync the user-facing documentation so the install instructions,
requirements section, and plugin metadata example all reflect the new
minimum instead of Node 22 / 12.17.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore: require Node.js >= 25 (engines, installers, Dockerfile, snap, CI)
#7747 added Node 25 *support* but left the floor at Node 22. This
commit completes the cutover so the runtime requirement matches the
documentation bumped in the previous commit.
- package.json: engines.node ">=22.13.0" → ">=25.0.0"
- bin/functions.sh, bin/installer.sh, bin/installer.ps1: REQUIRED_NODE
bumped to 25 (controls the error message users see when they invoke
the installer or pnpm scripts on an older Node)
- Dockerfile: base image node:22-alpine → node:25-alpine (×2). Corepack
comment updated: Node 25 no longer ships corepack at all, so we
install it from npm rather than refreshing a stale signing-key list
- snap/snapcraft.yaml: pinned NODE_VERSION 22.22.2 → 25.9.0 and the
surrounding design notes rewritten to reflect Node 25 instead of 22
- .github/workflows/*.yml: matrix dropped from [22, 24, 25] to just
[25] (anything older now fails engines anyway). Stale comments in
build-and-deploy-docs.yml referencing vite 8's 22.12 floor cleaned up
- bin/plugins/lib/npmpublish.yml: setup-node 22 → 25 so the plugin
template propagated to every ether/* plugin matches the new minimum

* fix(docker): install pnpm directly on Node 25 (no corepack)
node:25-alpine doesn't ship corepack but does pre-install yarn at
/usr/local/bin/yarn, so `npm install -g corepack@latest` fails with
EEXIST trying to register its yarn shim. Per #7747, end-users install
pnpm via plain `npm install -g pnpm` on Node 25 — use the same flow in
the Dockerfile (and remove the unused yarn binary so it doesn't sit on
PATH inside the image). Drops COREPACK_HOME and the related
issue-7687 cache-sharing tweak since there's no corepack shim to share.

Bumps the workflow Node version (PR matrix → [25], full push matrix
stays at [22, 24, 25]) and the pinned pnpm to 11.1.2 with a matching
`engines.pnpm` minimum. End-users install pnpm the same way they
always have (`npm install -g pnpm` works on Node 25 — only Corepack
was dropped from the official Node 25 distribution).
Also includes two workflow fixes that were entangled with the
Node-version edits in the same files:
- `upgrade-from-latest-release.yml` now actually checks out the
latest release tag instead of `ref: develop #FIXME`, so the job
finally exercises what its name implies.
- `installer-test.yml` resolves `ETHERPAD_REPO` / `ETHERPAD_BRANCH`
from the PR head when running on a fork, so the smoke test exercises
the PR branch rather than the base.
Verified end-to-end against `node:25-bookworm-slim` (no corepack):
`npm install -g pnpm` → `pnpm i` → `pnpm run build:etherpad` →
`pnpm run prod` boots and listens on 9001.

* test(ci): kill Windows + Node 24 backend-test flake; capture native crashes
The Backend tests suite has a ~22% silent-failure rate on Windows + Node
24 specifically (Linux 22/24/25 ✓, Windows 22/25 ✓). Two prior PRs
instrumented the failure — common.ts handlers (#7663), then an unconditional
diagnostics.ts (#7665) — and confirmed it's a hard kill:
diagnostics.ts:23-27 documents the matrix, and every recurrence (run
25279692065, 25754938013, 25906496503) shows only `[diag +0ms]
diagnostics loaded`, no beforeExit / exit / unhandledRejection /
uncaughtException / signal handlers. Process dies 700–900 ms after the
last passing test, in a varying spec each time. That's a native crash in
V8 / libuv / the tsx loader, not anything reachable from JS.
This PR ships two independent attacks at the failure:
1. Mitigation — add --exit to the mocha command in src/package.json.
Mocha's default (--exit=false) waits for the event loop to drain
after tests complete. The hard kill happens during that drain or the
inter-spec transition. With --exit, mocha calls process.exit(failures)
directly once the run finishes, closing the cleanup-race window.
Linux/Windows-22/25 are green today, so the natural-drain path is
not surfacing real leaks worth preserving. Verified locally:
`cd src && pnpm test` -> 1121 passing, 0 failing, 23s.
2. Capture — set NODE_OPTIONS in each Backend tests step to
--report-on-fatalerror, --report-uncaught-exception,
--report-on-signal, --report-compact, plus
--report-directory=${{ github.workspace }}/node-report. If Node
crashes at the C++ level (segfault, V8 abort, libuv panic) the
runtime writes a JSON diagnostic report with the V8 stack, libuv
handle table, JS heap state, and OS info. A new "Upload Node
diagnostic reports on failure" step (actions/upload-artifact@v7,
`if: failure()`, `if-no-files-found: ignore`) uploads that directory
as an artifact per matrix cell — the data we have been unable to
capture from JS instrumentation alone.
If (1) eliminates the flake on the next push to develop, great. If not,
(2) finally gives us the crash dump and we can fix the root cause.
Touches all four Backend tests jobs (Linux × 2, Windows × 2). The
Windows steps now also set `shell: bash` so the same `mkdir -p ...`
line works under git-bash; the existing `working-directory: src` is
preserved. NODE_OPTIONS is scoped to the test step only, so the
existing vitest step is unchanged.

* test(ci): address Qodo review on PR #7748
Three findings from Qodo's review of the Windows + Node 24 flake fix:
1. (bug) "mocha --exit masks handle leaks". --exit removes the post-suite
event-loop drain that surfaces leaked timers / sockets — exactly the
class of regression that lowerCasePadIds.ts notes is otherwise visible.
Linux/local runs are currently green on natural drain, so dropping
that signal everywhere would silence real leaks to fix a Windows-only
flake.
Fix: scope --exit to Windows only.
- Remove --exit from src/package.json's "test" script (shared with
local dev + Linux CI; both keep natural-drain behaviour).
- Append `pnpm test -- --exit` in just the two Windows backend-test
steps so the mitigation only runs where the flake actually lives.
2. (observability) "diagnostics exit-matrix misleading". With --exit on
Windows, "only exit fires" becomes the EXPECTED pattern there, not a
sign of unexpected process.exit(). Update the matrix comment in
tests/backend/diagnostics.ts to spell out: clean drain on
Linux/local → beforeExit + exit; Windows under --exit → only exit;
"only exit" elsewhere still implies an unexpected process.exit
somewhere.
3. (rule violation) "no regression test for the mitigation". Repo
convention (see admin-i18n-source-lint.test.ts) is to pin
policy-bearing config with a source-lint spec so a future refactor
can't silently revert it.
Add src/tests/backend-new/specs/backend-tests-flake-mitigation.test.ts:
- Asserts every "Run the backend tests" step sets NODE_OPTIONS with
the report-on-fatalerror diag flags AND is followed by an Upload
Node diagnostic reports step (4 of each in the current matrix).
- Asserts exactly 2 Windows jobs invoke `pnpm test -- --exit`.
- Asserts the shared mocha "test" script in src/package.json does
NOT bake in --exit globally.
Verified locally:
- cd src && pnpm exec vitest run tests/backend-new/specs/backend-tests-flake-mitigation.test.ts
→ 3 passed (3).
- Stream.ts spec without --exit → 31 passing, diag prints
"beforeExit code=0" + "exit code=0" (clean drain restored).
- Existing admin-i18n-source-lint suite still passes.

* fix(admin): restore SearchField + sorting modules used by AuthorPage
PR #7736 ("replace hardcoded German strings with i18n keys") deleted
admin/src/components/SearchField.tsx and admin/src/utils/sorting.ts as
"orphan modules (no longer imported anywhere after #7716)". At that
point, the GDPR admin AuthorPage (PR #7667) had not yet landed on
develop. When #7667 merged afterwards, the new admin/src/pages/AuthorPage.tsx
brought back imports of SearchField and determineSorting — but the
files were already gone, leaving develop with broken admin imports.
This breaks `pnpm --filter admin run build-copy` on every CI job that
builds the admin UI:
src/pages/AuthorPage.tsx(6,27): error TS2307: Cannot find module
'../components/SearchField.tsx' or its corresponding type
declarations.
src/pages/AuthorPage.tsx(9,32): error TS2307: Cannot find module
'../utils/sorting.ts' or its corresponding type declarations.
src/pages/AuthorPage.tsx(207,29): error TS7006: Parameter 'v'
implicitly has an 'any' type.
Backend tests, Frontend admin tests, Docker (build-test,
build-test-local-plugin, build-test-db-drivers), rate limit, and
Upgrade from latest release all fail at the admin build step on
develop.
Restore both files verbatim from before the deletion (commit ff7c4d531^).
With them back in place AuthorPage.tsx's existing imports resolve, the
implicit-any on the SearchField onChange callback goes away (typed via
SearchFieldProps), and `pnpm --filter admin run build-copy` succeeds.
This is the minimal, surgical fix; whether SearchField / determineSorting

* test(admin-i18n-lint): invert orphan-modules assertion now that AuthorPage imports them
PR #7736 added a lint assertion that admin/src/components/SearchField.tsx
and admin/src/utils/sorting.ts must NOT exist, on the assumption they
were dead code after #7716. They aren't — the GDPR AuthorPage (#7667)
imports both. The previous commit restored the files; this commit flips
the assertion so the test:
- verifies both files exist
- verifies admin/src/pages/AuthorPage.tsx still imports them
If a future cleanup wants to delete these modules, the test now forces
the author to also delete or refactor the AuthorPage consumption first,
preventing a repeat of the merge-order accident that produced this bug.
Test plan:
- cd src && pnpm exec vitest run tests/backend-new/specs/admin-i18n-source-lint.test.ts
→ 14 passed (14)

* docs(gdpr): admin UI for author erasure — design spec
Follow-up to PR5 (#7550): adds an in-product /admin/authors page so
operators can search by name or external mapper, preview the impact
of an Art. 17 erasure (token mappings, mapper bindings, chat
messages, affected pads), and commit it without crafting a curl.
Backend uses three new admin-socket events on settings_admin (not
REST), so the existing public REST endpoint and its
gdprAuthorErasure.enabled flag keep their current single meaning.
The page stays discoverable when the flag is off — banner + disabled
buttons explain how to enable it.

* docs(gdpr): admin UI for author erasure — implementation plan
Step-by-step TDD plan for the /admin/authors follow-up to PR5
(#7550). Nine tasks covering: lastSeen field on globalAuthor writes,
anonymizeAuthor({dryRun}), authorManager.searchAuthors helper,
three new admin-socket events (authorLoad / anonymizeAuthorPreview /
anonymizeAuthor) + settings-flag delivery, frontend types/swatch/
i18n, store/route/sidebar wiring, AuthorPage.tsx with two-step
modal and disabled-flag banner, Playwright coverage, and the PR/
Qodo workflow. References the spec at
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-03-gdpr-admin-author-erasure-ui-design.md.

* feat(authors): stamp lastSeen on globalAuthor writes
Adds a lastSeen timestamp to the globalAuthor record on createAuthor,
setAuthorName, and setAuthorColorId. Read paths are not modified to
keep the write cost zero per page load. Pre-existing records gain the
field on their next identity write — no migration sweep, callers that
read the field tolerate undefined.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(authors): anonymizeAuthor({dryRun}) for preview
Adds an opt-in dryRun option that walks the same token/mapper/chat
loops and returns identical counter shape without touching the
database. The public REST endpoint is unchanged (it never passes the
flag), so production behaviour is identical. Used by the upcoming
admin-UI two-step erase modal to show 'will clear: N mappings, K
chat messages' before the irreversible commit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(authors): restore lost rationale on anonymizeAuthor + document dryRun
Code review on the previous commit caught that the dryRun refactor
silently dropped four WHY-comments (lazy-require cycle, drop-mappings-
first ordering, zero-identity-without-sentinel split, sentinel-last
discipline) and left the new opts parameter undocumented. Restored
the comments verbatim and added a one-line JSDoc note for dryRun.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(authors): authorManager.searchAuthors helper
In-memory enumeration of globalAuthor:* with a join on mapper2author:*
for the mapper column. Filter (substring on name OR mapper OR
authorID — the authorID match lets admins verify a specific erased
record where name and mapper bindings are gone), sort
(name | lastSeen), paginate, cap the pre-pagination set at 1000 to
prevent runaway scans. Powers the upcoming /admin/authors page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(authors): tie-break searchAuthors sort on authorID
Code review pointed out that ties in the primary sort key (common on
lastSeen for authors created the same ms, possible on identical
names too) fell back to findKeys enumeration order — not guaranteed
stable across DB backends. Adding an authorID secondary sort makes
pagination safe across requests. Also fix a misleading 'default'
note in the JSDoc — includeErased is required, not optional.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(authors): admin-socket events for author erasure UI
Adds three handlers on the /settings admin namespace:
- authorLoad: paginated search via authorManager.searchAuthors
- anonymizeAuthorPreview: dry-run counters, always available to
authenticated admins (read-only)
- anonymizeAuthor: live commit, gated on gdprAuthorErasure.enabled
(returns {error: 'disabled'} when off)
Extends the load reply with a flags.gdprAuthorErasure boolean so the
client knows whether to render the disabled-flag banner without an
extra round-trip.

* test(authors): clean up admin-socket test mutations
Code review found two test-isolation issues:
- settings.users 'restoration' was a no-op (savedUsers held a
reference to the same object that the test mutated). The test-admin
key now gets explicitly removed in after().
- The Promise that awaited connect/connect_error left the loser
listener attached for the lifetime of the socket, risking an
unhandled rejection on a later spurious connect_error event.
Listeners are now paired with off() so only the winner survives.

* feat(admin): types, ColorSwatch, and en.json for authors page
Standalone primitives for the upcoming /admin/authors page:
- AuthorSearch.ts: query/result/preview wire types matching the new
admin-socket events
- ColorSwatch.tsx: resolves a globalAuthor.colorId (palette index or
raw hex) to a small inline-styled swatch
- ep_admin_authors/en.json: every user-visible string the page needs,
loaded by the existing namespace-as-static-asset i18n strategy
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(admin): /admin/authors page
Adds a searchable, sortable, paginated authors page mirroring the
existing PadPage shape. Search matches name OR mapper substring;
'Show erased' toggle off by default; cap-at-1000 hint surfaces when
the backend caps the pre-pagination set. Two-step erase modal: dry-
run preview shows what will be cleared, then a Continue button
commits the irreversible erasure. Disabled-flag banner explains how
to enable when gdprAuthorErasure.enabled is false; per-row Erase
button is disabled with a tooltip in the same condition.
Sidebar gets a Users link between Pads and Communication. App.tsx
listens for the new flags.gdprAuthorErasure on the connect-time
settings push so the page knows the flag state without an extra
round trip. ep_admin_authors namespace is added to i18next's ns
list so all translation keys resolve.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(authors): i18n the pagination controls
Spec review caught three hardcoded English strings in the
/admin/authors pagination footer ('Previous Page', 'Next Page',
'X out of Y'). Carried over from PadPage.tsx via the plan template,
which had the same gap. Added three new keys to ep_admin_authors
and routed the spans through Trans/t().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(authors): banner CSS, IconButton attribute drop, erase phase string
Code review on the AuthorPage commit caught three issues:
- Disabled-flag banner used dialog-confirm-content classname which is
position: fixed + centered + z-index: 101, making it render as a
modal-style overlay over the table. Drop the className and define
the banner with inline styles only; add role='alert' for SR users.
- The Erase IconButton spread {data-disabled-reason: …} alongside
{disabled: true}, but IconButton only forwards a small allowlist of
props — the data attribute was silently dropped. Replaced with a
conditional title that flips to the disabled-reason string when the
button is disabled (which IconButton does forward).
- 'Erasing…' string was rendered during loading-preview, but the
string literally describes the commit phase. Added a new
loading-preview key for the preview-loading state, and surface the
existing 'erasing' string under the buttons during the committing
phase.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(admin): Playwright /admin/authors + fix i18n key shape
The earlier en.json shipped namespace-prefixed JSON keys
('ep_admin_authors:title': 'Authors') which is the wrong shape:
i18next splits the lookup on ':' to extract the namespace, then looks
up the bare key in the loaded namespace data. The existing convention
(admin/public/ep_admin_pads/en.json) uses flat keys without the
namespace prefix; matching it makes every
<Trans i18nKey='ep_admin_authors:foo'/> resolve to the intended
translated string. Strings render as English fallback without this
fix; only the page-title test passes (and only by substring accident).
Also adds the Playwright coverage required by Task 8: localized
title, empty-state message on a fresh search tag, disabled banner
toggling with gdprAuthorErasure.enabled.

* fix(test): JSONC-tolerant settings parse + sidebar count = 7
CI on PR #7667 surfaced two test failures caused by my changes:
1. setErasureFlag() in admin_authors_page.spec.ts used JSON.parse on
the raw settings.json textarea content. The CI environment loads
settings.json.template which has unquoted property names, trailing
commas, and block + line comments — JSON.parse rejects all three.
Switched to `new Function('return (' + raw + ')')` which evaluates
the textarea as a JS object literal, accepting every shape
Etherpad's own settings loader handles.
2. admintroubleshooting.spec.ts hardcoded
`menu.locator('li').toHaveCount(6)`. The new /authors sidebar
entry made it 7. Updated the assertion and the sidebar comment.

* fix(authors): IconButton title, Dialog.Title, preview errors, settings restart
Final whole-branch review found three Important UX/a11y defects, plus
CI flagged one runtime defect:
- IconButton renders the title prop as a visible <span>, not as the
HTML title attribute. Disabled rows were displaying the 80-character
'Author erasure is disabled...' string next to every trash icon.
Reverted to the short 'Erase' label; the page-level banner already
explains the disabled state.
- Radix Dialog.Content was missing Dialog.Title. Wrapped the existing
<h3> in <Dialog.Title asChild> so screen readers can announce the
dialog purpose.
- onPreview proceeded to render the preview UI even when the backend
reply carried {error}, leaving 'Will clear undefined token
mappings...' on screen. Now mirrors onErase.
- The disabled-banner-hidden Playwright test failed because
settings.json save does not hot-reload. setErasureFlag now
restartEtherpad's after saveSettings and re-logins.

* fix(authors): action Qodo review — lastSeen, flag-gating, defensive payloads
Qodo on PR #7667 surfaced three issues:
1. (Bug, Correctness) lastSeen lost or stale.
- mapAuthorWithDBKey only updated `timestamp` for returning authors
so the admin /authors 'Last seen' column drifted on every reconnect
without an identity write. Now stamps both timestamp and lastSeen.
- anonymizeAuthor's two db.set calls overwrote globalAuthor without
preserving lastSeen, blanking the column for erased rows. Both
writes now carry forward `existing.lastSeen ?? existing.timestamp`.
- searchAuthors falls back to rec.timestamp when rec.lastSeen is
missing so legacy records aren't blank.
2. (Rule violation, Security) /authors route not flag-gated.
The new admin-socket read paths (authorLoad, anonymizeAuthorPreview)
were always-on; only the destructive anonymizeAuthor was gated.
Project rule (Compliance ID 6) requires new features behind a flag,
disabled by default. All three handlers now check
gdprAuthorErasure.enabled and return {error:'disabled'} when off.
The sidebar 'Authors' link is hidden when the flag is off
(deep-link to /admin/authors still works and renders the existing
disabled banner so docs can point to it).
3. (Bug, Reliability) Socket destructure throws on missing payload.
Handlers signed `async ({authorID}: {authorID: string}) => …`
threw before try/catch when a client emitted with no payload,
producing an unhandled rejection. Switched to
`async (payload: any) => { const authorID = payload?.authorID; … }`.
Test impact: anonymizeAuthorSocket gains two regressions (authorLoad
disabled-shape, payload-less emits don't crash) and updates the
preview-when-flag-off test to assert {error:'disabled'} per the new
gating posture (was 'preview still works'). admintroubleshooting
sidebar-count reverts 7 → 6 since the Authors link is now conditional
on the flag (off by default in the test environment).

* feat(updater): scheduled execution state + graceStartTag dedupe field (#7607)
Preparation for Tier 3 of the auto-update subsystem:
- ExecutionStatus gains `scheduled` (targetTag, scheduledFor, startedAt).
- EmailSendLog gains `graceStartTag` for one-shot grace-start email dedupe.
- state validator accepts the new shape, requires per-status fields,
and backfills graceStartTag=null on a Tier 1/2 state file.
Plus the implementation plan at

* feat(updater): decideSchedule pure decision function (#7607)
Adds src/node/updater/Scheduler.ts with the Tier 3 pure decision logic:
- schedules when canAuto + idle/verified/terminal-cleared
- reschedules when a newer tag appears mid-grace
- emits a grace-start email (once per tag) when adminEmail is set
- cancels a stale schedule when policy flips canAuto off
- no-ops during in-flight / terminal states
- clamps preApplyGraceMinutes to [0, 7 days]
Also extends Notifier's EmailKind union with 'grace-start' so the
decision result types correctly.

* feat(updater): scheduler timer runner with arm/cancel (#7607)
Adds createSchedulerRunner to Scheduler.ts:
- arm(): clears any prior timer, sets a fresh one for scheduledFor
- cancel(): clears the pending timer, idempotent
- past scheduledFor → fires with delay=0 (rehydrate after restart-in-grace)
- single-fire-per-arm semantics; armedFor cleared on fire

* refactor(updater): extract apply pipeline shared by HTTP + scheduler (#7607)
Lifts the preflight → drain → execute orchestration out of the
/admin/update/apply HTTP handler into src/node/updater/applyPipeline.ts.
The HTTP handler keeps its 4xx status mapping; the pipeline owns the
state transitions, lock release, drain coordination, and rollback hand-
off. The new ApplyPipelineDeps interface accepts an onAccepted callback
so the HTTP path can still 202 mid-flow while the Tier 3 scheduler path
(next commit) can no-op.
Adds `scheduled` to the apply allowed-entry list so an admin can "Apply
now" during the Tier 3 grace window.
13 vitest cases cover happy / preflight-failed / cancelled / busy /
lock-held / scheduled-entry / rollback / lock-release. Existing 12
mocha integration tests still pass without change.

* feat(updater): wire Tier 3 scheduler into boot + performCheck (#7607)
- expressCreateServer instantiates the scheduler runner and rehydrates
the timer when a prior boot left state.execution = scheduled
- performCheck evaluates decideSchedule after the notifier pass:
schedule transitions state + sends grace-start email + arms timer;
cancel-schedule resets to idle + cancels timer
- shutdown cancels the timer
- exposes cancelScheduler() so the cancel endpoint (next commit) can
drop the pending schedule
- buildSchedulerApplyDeps() supplies the full production-wired pipeline
deps (preflight, executor, rollback) for the scheduler-triggered apply
Adds tests/backend/specs/updater-scheduler-integration.ts covering
boot-rehydrate fire-on-past and the decision-to-state round-trip.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): cancel handler supports Tier 3 scheduled state (#7607)
POST /admin/update/cancel now accepts execution.status === 'scheduled'
in addition to preflight/draining. The handler calls cancelScheduler()
to drop the pending in-process timer, then transitions state to idle
with lastResult.outcome = 'cancelled' (mirroring the existing pattern).
Adds a Tier 3 integration test that seeds a scheduled state, calls
/admin/update/cancel, and asserts the state machine landed correctly.

* feat(admin): countdown + cancel UI for Tier 3 scheduled updates (#7607)
- store.ts: extend Execution union with the scheduled variant
- UpdatePage.tsx: render countdown panel during scheduled; Apply button
is relabelled "Apply now" so the admin can skip the remaining grace;
Cancel button accepts scheduled state
- UpdateBanner.tsx: dedicated scheduled banner with live remaining time

and the grace-start email
- settings.json.template: clarify the preApplyGraceMinutes comment
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased entry for Tier 3
- runbook §11: full Tier 3 smoke (happy, cancel, apply-now, restart-in-

* fix(admin): UpdatePage handles missing execution field; scope spec locator (#7607)
Two CI fixes for PR #7720:
1. UpdatePage.tsx — optional-chain us.execution.status. Integration test
stubs (update-banner.spec.ts) ship payloads without the Tier 2/3
execution / lastResult / lockHeld fields; without optional chaining
on the new scheduled-derivation line the whole page crashed before
the h1 rendered, breaking the unrelated "renders current version"
test.
2. update-scheduled.spec.ts — scope the v2.7.2 assertion to the
.update-scheduled section. The regex was matching three elements
(banner, countdown panel, changelog link) and tripped Playwright's
strict-mode locator check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(updater): address Qodo review (Tier 3 race conditions + tier-off bypass) (#7607)
Four fixes for bugs flagged by Qodo's review of PR #7720:
1. **Tier=off bypasses scheduler** (correctness). expressCreateServer
used to instantiate the scheduler and rehydrate any persisted
`scheduled` state regardless of `updates.tier`. A user who set
`tier: "off"` after a schedule had been persisted would still see
the timer fire after restart. The boot path now skips scheduler
creation when tier is off and explicitly clears a stale scheduled
state to idle (logged so the admin sees what happened).
2. **Timer fire skips state recheck** (reliability). The scheduler's
timer callback called applyUpdate() directly. Race: admin clicks
Cancel at the same instant the timer fires, or the tier flips
during the grace window. Now schedulerTriggerApply re-loads state
and re-evaluates policy via a new pure decideTriggerApply() helper
in Scheduler.ts. If state is no longer scheduled (or scheduled for a
different tag), aborts. If policy now denies auto, persists state
back to idle and aborts.
3. **Apply-now leaves scheduler timer armed** (correctness). The apply
endpoint accepts `scheduled` as an entry status but didn't cancel
the in-process scheduler timer. After the admin clicks Apply now,
the still-armed timer could later fire and attempt another apply
(especially if the manual one finishes in preflight-failed, which
is also an allowed-entry status). Apply handler now calls
cancelScheduler() when entering from `scheduled`.
4. **scheduledFor not validated as timestamp** (reliability). State
validator only required scheduledFor / startedAt etc. to be
non-empty strings; a hand-edited "scheduledFor": "garbage" would
pass validation and yield NaN delay → immediate fire. The
validator now requires known timestamp fields to be parseable
via Date.parse().
Tests: 6 new decideTriggerApply cases + 3 new state.ts validation
cases. 189 vitest pass / 29 mocha integration pass / ts-check clean.

* fix(admin): replace ~50 hardcoded German strings with i18n keys (#7735)
PR #7716 ("chore: fixed admin design rework") rebuilt admin/src/pages
with literal German copy inline — "Update verfügbar", "Aktualisieren",
"Keine Pads gefunden", "Hook-Bindings", "de-DE" date formatters, etc.
Non-DE users see a French/English/German salad: <Trans i18nKey="…"/>
calls resolve correctly via translatewiki, but every literal stays
German regardless of browser locale.
This change:
- Adds 90+ keys to src/locales/en.json under admin.*, admin_login.*,
admin_pads.*, admin_plugins.*, admin_plugins_info.*, admin_settings.*,
admin_shout.*, and the previously-orphaned update.page.{disabled,
unauthorized,error}.
- Replaces every hardcoded literal in admin/src/{App,LoginScreen,
HomePage,HelpPage,PadPage,SettingsPage,ShoutPage,UpdatePage}.tsx with
t() or <Trans>.
- Threads i18n.language into PadPage so relativeTime() and
toLocale*() honour the user's locale instead of forcing de-DE.
Test coverage:
- src/tests/backend-new/specs/admin-i18n-source-lint.test.ts (vitest):
scans admin/src/pages/*.tsx + App.tsx for a denylist of German
literals introduced by #7716, asserts PadPage no longer hardcodes
'de-DE', and pins the set of new en.json keys.
- src/tests/frontend-new/admin-spec/admini18n.spec.ts (Playwright):
extended to assert rendered English text on every page (Home, Pads,
Help, Login) and verify no German leakage on the English path.
Non-EN locales pick up translations from translatewiki on its normal
cadence; until then i18next falls back to en.json.

* fix(admin): reuse existing ep_admin_pads:* keys instead of duplicating
Pre-rework admin already had:
ep_admin_pads:ep_adminpads2_action ("Action")
ep_admin_pads:ep_adminpads2_last-edited ("Last edited")
ep_admin_pads:ep_adminpads2_no-results ("No results")
Initial pass added admin_pads.{col.action, col.last_edited,
sort.last_edited, empty_state} duplicating those — drop the duplicates
from en.json and point PadPage.tsx at the existing translatewiki-fed
keys. Stats/column heads that genuinely didn't exist before
(admin_pads.col.{pad,users,revisions}, the filter chips, relative-time,
pagination, etc.) stay as new keys.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(admin): address Qodo finding + restore #7716 regressions
Qodo flagged a reliability bug in PadPage on PR #7736: i18n.language
flows from user-controlled ?lng= straight into Intl.* formatters, which
throw RangeError on malformed tags (e.g. 'en_US', '💥'). Crashing the
pads page on a crafted URL.
Wrap the locale in a sanitizeLocale() helper that normalises '_' → '-'
and validates via Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf(), falling back
to 'en' so dates render in a sane locale rather than the user's browser
default fighting page copy.
Same audit surfaced four additional regressions from #7716 still on
develop, fixed here on-theme:
- HomePage dropped <a href="https://npmjs.com/..."> wrappers on both
installed and available plugin rows. Restored with .pm-plugin-link.
- "Downloads" column / "Most popular" default sort / "Popular" tag
were dead UI — src/static/js/pluginfw/installer.ts::search() never
populates `downloads`. Removed the column, default sort, and tag;
dropped `downloads` from PluginDef + SearchParams.sortBy.
- PadPage sort dropdown hardcoded `ascending: e.target.value ===
'padName'`, leaving no way to invert direction. Replaced with a
paired ↑/↓ button (.pm-sort-dir) for both HomePage and PadPage.
- "1 Core" stat hint hardcoded count=1. Derived from
installedPlugins.filter(p => p.name === 'ep_etherpad-lite').length.
- Deleted orphan modules SearchField.tsx and sorting.ts (no longer
imported anywhere after #7716).
Tests:
- admin-i18n-source-lint.test.ts: +3 assertions (sanitizeLocale
pattern, dead-downloads check, orphan-module deletion, sort-dir
toggle) → 14 passing.
- admini18n.spec.ts: +2 assertions (npmjs link on ep_etherpad-lite
row, sort-direction toggle visible).

* docs(agents): add mandatory i18n + a11y guardrails
PR #7716 ("admin design rework") shipped ~50 hardcoded German literals,
dropped npmjs.com link affordances, removed the sort-direction control
on PadPage, and forced `de-DE` into Intl formatters — none of which the
AGENTS.MD guide explicitly forbade. Document the rules so the next UI
refresh cannot regress these in the same way:
- i18n section spells out which slots must be localised (JSX text,
placeholders, titles, aria-labels, alts, toasts, options, alerts),
which API to use per surface (<Trans>/t() in React, data-l10n-id in
the legacy pad UI, never window._ rebound), where keys live
(src/locales/en.json — never hand-edit non-EN locales), to reuse
existing keys before duplicating, pluralisation via _one/_other,
defaultValue is safety not a substitute, and points at the
source-lint test that enforces the denylist.
- a11y section spells out the lessons surfaced by the audit: icon-only
buttons need aria-label AND title (both localised), sort controls
must be focusable + reversible, semantic HTML over div soup, external
navigation is <a>, "don't drop affordances when restyling" is a
hard rule, Playwright specs must assert rendered strings + at least
one structural affordance for UI changes.

* fix(tests): retry rmdir to clear Windows EBUSY flake in updater-integration
The Windows backend-test job has been intermittently red on `crash-loop
guard: bootCount=3 forces immediate rollback` (and other cases in
`updater-integration.ts`) with:
Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, rmdir
'C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\updater-it-...'
Each `it()` builds a temp git repo via `execSync('git ...')` and cleans
up in a `try…finally` with `fs.rm(dir, {recursive: true, force: true})`.
On Windows, git child processes can briefly hold file handles after
exit (NTFS lazy-release / antivirus scan / pack-file handles), so the
first rmdir attempt hits EBUSY. `fs.rm`'s default `maxRetries` is 0, so
there is no recovery and the test errors out.
Hoist the cleanup to a single `cleanupTmp()` helper that passes
`maxRetries: 10, retryDelay: 100` (a built-in `fs.rm` capability since
Node 14.14). On Linux/macOS this is a no-op — there's nothing to retry.
On Windows it absorbs the transient lock.
No production code touched.

* fix(tests): poll for rollback terminal state instead of 250ms sleep
Windows CI failure on this branch surfaced a *second* flake in the same
file (`crash-loop guard: bootCount=3 forces immediate rollback`):
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'execution')
at updater-integration.ts:230
`checkPendingVerification` kicks off `performRollback` as fire-and-forget
(`void performRollback(s, deps).catch(...)`), and the test waits a flat
250 ms before asserting `states.at(-1)!.execution.status === 'rolled-back'`.
On Linux 250 ms is plenty. On Windows, git checkout + spawned-process
bookkeeping regularly push past that — so `saveState` hasn't fired yet
and `states` is empty.
This race was previously masked: the test's `finally` ran `fs.rm`,
which threw EBUSY against handles still held by the in-flight rollback,
and JS's "finally-throws-override-try-throws" semantics meant mocha
reported the EBUSY rather than the underlying TypeError. The retry-rm
patch on this branch unmasked it.
Replace the flat sleep with condition-based polling (25 ms tick, 10 s
ceiling) for a terminal state (`rolled-back` | `rollback-failed`). The
existing `assert.equal(... 'rolled-back')` still runs, giving a clean
diff if rollback landed on the failure side instead. Linux runtime
drops 329 ms → 104 ms because the poll exits as soon as the state
lands.

* chore: ignore /.worktrees/ for local worktree workflows
* fix(docker): bypass pnpm at runtime to avoid spurious deps-status reinstall (#7718)
pnpm 11's runDepsStatusCheck runs before every `pnpm run …` and decides
node_modules is out of sync on container first start under the named-
volume layout used by docker-compose (mounting src/plugin_packages). It
then spawns `pnpm install --production`, which either prompts to wipe
node_modules (tty: true) or aborts with
ERR_PNPM_ABORTED_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR_NO_TTY (no tty).
Reproduced by kimllee in ether/etherpad#7718 with the official
etherpad/etherpad:latest image on arm64.
Run node directly in CMD instead of going through `pnpm run prod`.
The image's node_modules was already verified during build, so the
runtime check adds no value. Wrapping in `sh -c 'cd src && exec node …'`
keeps WORKDIR consistent for `docker exec` users while making node PID 1
so it receives SIGTERM directly and shuts down cleanly.

* ci(docker): regression test for #7718 — boot with named volume on plugin_packages
Reproduces the production docker-compose layout from #7718: a named
volume on src/plugin_packages and no allocated TTY. Under the previous
`CMD ["pnpm", "run", "prod"]`, pnpm 11's runDepsStatusCheck spuriously
flagged node_modules out of sync at boot, spawned `pnpm install
--production`, and aborted with ERR_PNPM_ABORTED_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR_NO_TTY
before the HTTP server came up.
If the Dockerfile CMD is ever reverted to invoke pnpm at runtime, this
step times out waiting for the health endpoint and fails CI.
Addresses Qodo review feedback on #7727.

* ci(rate-limit): wait for etherpad to be ready before running the test
The workflow starts the etherpad container in the background, then runs
`pnpm install`, then runs the test. On a warm pnpm-store the install can
finish before etherpad is listening on 9001, at which point nginx returns
502 for the test request and the run fails. Recent README-only commits
on develop hit this race on three consecutive runs.
Poll the nginx-proxied endpoint (port 8081 — also what the test uses)
until it stops returning 5xx, with a 2-minute timeout and `docker logs
etherpad-docker` on giving up to make diagnosis straightforward.
* ci(rate-limit): address Qodo review (nginx logs, tighter timeout)
- Name the nginx container so its logs can be captured when the readiness
poll times out — previously nginx was started anonymously and a
502 caused by nginx itself (rather than etherpad) would have been
hard to diagnose from the workflow log alone.
- On timeout also dump `docker ps -a` for container-state visibility.
- Tighten the readiness wait: 30 iterations × (1s curl timeout + 1s
sleep) gives ~60s budget instead of ~240s, which is still well above
observed cold-start time and keeps the failure-fast contract.
This spec opened three socket.io-client connections (for
ALREADYexistingPad, alreadyexistingpad, maliciousattempt) but
never closed them. Each leaked client kept a 5-second reconnect
timer armed in node_modules/.pnpm/socket.io-client/.../manager.js
past mocha's "passing" output. That triggered the unclean-exit
force-quit (server.ts setTimeout(..., 5000)) which then exits the
process with code 1 — visible on Windows + Node 24 in CI and 100%
reproducible locally on Node 24.
Verified with `wtfnode.dump()` patched into the force-exit path:
before this change, three timers at socket.io-client manager.js:375
were live; after, the same suite exits cleanly with code 0 and the
force-exit timer never fires.
The fix tracks every socket returned by common.connect() in an
array and disconnects each one in afterEach.

* feat(7642): bin/compactStalePads — staleness-gated bulk compaction
Adds bin/compactStalePads with --older-than / --keep / --dry-run.
Composes listAllPads → getLastEdited → compactPad so hot pads in
active timeslider use are left alone and only the cold tail is
compacted. Targeting stays a CLI concern; compactPad's API surface
is unchanged.
Per-pad failures (including a getLastEdited fault) don't stop the
run — same error-tolerance shape as compactAllPads. End-to-end test
plumbs through the real /api/1.3.1/getLastEdited + compactPad
endpoints to lock the adapter contract.
Daily-cron variant (cleanup.compactOlderThanDays setting) deferred
to a follow-up so this PR stays focused on the on-demand operator
tool from the issue's primary acceptance bullet.

* fix(7642): TOCTOU recheck before compaction + admin CLI docs
Qodo flagged two real issues:
1. Race window between staleness selection and compaction. On a long
bulk run a pad could become active between first-pass filtering and
compactPad, which would then kick those sessions. Added a getLastEdited
recheck right before each compact call; if the pad is now fresh it's
reclassified as skippedFresh rather than failed (the user did the
right thing — edited it — and we bow out).
2. doc/cli.md had nothing on pad compaction at all (gap predates this
PR; #6194 landed without doc updates). Added a Pad compaction section
covering all three CLIs — compactPad, compactAllPads, compactStalePads
— so the toolset is discoverable as a unit.
Tests cover both the recheck-skip path and a recheck-failure path.

* feat(pad): scrub history in-place on the pad URL (#7659)
Clicking the timeslider toolbar button now keeps the user on /p/:pad and
toggles a hash-based history mode (#rev/N) instead of navigating to a
separate /timeslider page. The pad shell — chat, users panel, settings,
plugin chrome — stays mounted across the transition. A sticky banner
plus a sepia tint on the toolbar make it unmistakable that what is
visible is historical, not live.
Implementation:
- New PadModeController (src/static/js/pad_mode.ts) owns enter/exit,
the URL hash, browser back/forward, and a mutation-observer bridge
from the inner timeslider's revision label/date into the outer
banner. Esc and a Return-to-live button both exit history.
- pad.html grows a banner element and an iframe mount slot. The live
ACE iframe stays mounted but hidden during history; on exit the
socket is still alive, so the user snaps straight back to the
current state without a reconnect.
- The /p/:pad/timeslider route 302-redirects to the pad page for
direct visits (legacy bookmarks), and serves the timeslider HTML
for the in-pad iframe when called with ?embed=1. The embedded
variant hides the redundant title and return-to-pad button via
CSS; the slider, settings, and export controls stay reachable.
- Legacy #NN shortlinks are preserved through the redirect by the
browser and translated to #rev/NN client-side.
Tests:
- New backend spec asserts the 302 redirect, pad-name preservation,
and the ?embed=1 path still serves the timeslider HTML.
- New padmode.spec.ts exercises toolbar entry, return-to-live,
browser back, and direct /timeslider URL handling. Asserts the
rendered localized banner string, not just element presence.
- Existing timeslider specs that hit /p/:pad/timeslider directly
now pass ?embed=1 to bypass the redirect.

* fix(pad): make history iframe fill the editor area (#7659)
Without an explicit positioning model the history-frame-mount inherited
half-width from a phantom flex parent and the embedded timeslider
rendered at 640×625 instead of the full editor area. Switch to the same
absolute-fill model the live ACE iframe uses by making
#editorcontainerbox the positioning anchor when in history mode.

* fix(pad): address Qodo review and CI failures (#7659)
Concrete review fixes for PR #7710:
- Tighten the embed query check from `if (!req.query.embed)` to
`req.query.embed !== '1'` so values like `?embed=0` no longer bypass
the redirect.
- Fix the `#rev/latest` mapping: the parser yields -1 for "latest",
which the iframe sync handler was clamping to 0 and so jumping the
embedded timeslider to revision 0. Resolve "latest" to the inner
BroadcastSlider's upper bound instead.
- Update existing backend tests (`socialMeta`, `specialpages`) that
hit `/p/:pad/timeslider` directly — they now pass `?embed=1` like
the rest of the suite. Without this fix three pre-existing tests
failed CI (302 instead of 200).
- Document the route change in `doc/skins.md` and `doc/skins.adoc`:
direct visits redirect; iframe consumers use `?embed=1`.
- Back out a stray `data-theme="editorial"` attribute and the
hardcoded Google Fonts `<link>` tags from `pad.html` that leaked
into the branch from an unrelated working-tree change.

* feat(pad): consolidate chrome and replay chat/users in history mode (#7659)
Picks up the rough edges left by the initial in-place history mode:
the embedded timeslider iframe was rendering its own duplicate Settings
and Export buttons, and the chat panel + users list still showed live
state while the editor scrubbed back in time.
Chrome consolidation
- Hide the entire inner editbar's right-side toolbar and modal popups
in embedded mode (slider stays). Outer pad shell now owns Settings,
Export, Share, Users, Chat across both modes.
- Outer Settings popup grows a "History playback" section (visible
only when scrubbing) with playback speed + follow-contents. Both
bridge to the iframe's BroadcastSlider state.
- Outer Export anchors are rewritten to /p/<pad>/<rev>/export/<type>
on each scrub and restored on exit, so Save As exports the visible
historical revision.
Chat replay
- Each chat message is annotated with data-timestamp at render time.
In history mode, messages newer than the scrubbed revision's
timestamp are display:none'd; a "Chat as of HH:MM" header sits
above the chat log.
- Restores cleanly on exit (inline display cleared, header removed).
Users replay
- Live users table is replaced with the embedded timeslider's
authors-at-this-revision label while scrubbing; restored on exit.
Plumbing
- Expose padContents on window in broadcast.ts so the outer pad can
read currentTime after each scrub without postMessage.
- Expose BroadcastSlider on window in timeslider.ts so the outer pad
can register an onSlider callback to drive replay UI.
Tests
- New padmode specs cover: history-only Settings section, hidden
embedded chrome, chat filter + replay header, Export href
rewriting + restore, authors-row swap + restore.
- timeslider_line_numbers cookie-persistence test updated to bypass
the now-hidden inner Settings popup (programmatic checkbox).

* fix(pad): theme propagation, hide inert buttons, plugin loading (#7659)
Picks up rough edges from the in-place history mode that turned up in
real usage:
Theme / dark mode
- skin_variants.updateSkinVariantsClasses now also walks the history
iframe (and its ace_outer/ace_inner) so toggling dark mode while
scrubbing re-themes the embedded view in lockstep.
- timeslider.ts inherits the parent's skinVariant tokens (super-dark-*
/ dark-* / full-width-editor) on first paint when it detects it is
embedded — same-origin guarantee, falls through silently if not.
Toolbar UX
- Hide #editbar .menu_left (Bold/Italic/Lists/Indent/Undo/...) and the
show-more chevron while in history mode. Those buttons target the
hidden live editor and would do nothing useful; rendering them
disabled-looking implied state the user doesn't have. Right-side menu
(Settings / Share / Users / Chat / Home) stays at full opacity and
fully interactive.
Slider position
- Pin the embedded #editbar to the bottom of the iframe so the outer
banner and the slider can't visually compete for the same band of
pixels. Reserve padding-bottom on the iframe's editorcontainerbox so
the editor never scrolls under the slider.
Plugin loading in timeslider
- timeSliderBootstrap.js now pre-loads plugin modules into a Map and
passes them to plugins.update(), mirroring padBootstrap.js. Without
this the loadFn fallback called require(path) at runtime, which the
esbuild-bundled timeslider couldn't resolve, so client_hooks like
ep_headings2's aceRegisterBlockElements silently failed to register
and historical revisions rendered without plugin chrome.
Tests
- New padmode specs cover: outer toolbar's left/right asymmetry, slider
pinned to bottom, dark-mode class propagation into the history iframe.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(pad): move history slider into the outer toolbar (#7659)
The slider previously rendered inside the embedded iframe — first at the
top (where it visually competed with the banner), then briefly at the
bottom (where the chat icon overlapped it). Both were wrong. Move the
controls into the outer toolbar's left zone, where #editbar .menu_left
is hidden in history mode and the slider can occupy the full width
without colliding with anything.
- pad.html grows a #history-controls div (slider + play/pause/step
buttons + timer) inside #editbar, between menu_left and menu_right.
Hidden by default; revealed via body.history-mode CSS.
- pad.css swaps #editbar .menu_left out for #history-controls in
history mode (display:none / display:flex).
- timeslider.css fully hides the embedded iframe's #editbar — the
outer toolbar now owns the slider, and the iframe is purely the
editor surface.
- pad_mode.ts wires the outer controls as a remote control: the
range input calls inner BroadcastSlider.setSliderPosition, the play
button calls BroadcastSlider.playpause, step buttons forward clicks
to the inner #leftstep/#rightstep so they share the existing logic.
An onSlider subscription mirrors inner state back into the outer
slider value, timer label, and play-button .pause class.
Tests
- Existing timeslider.spec asserts the outer controls are visible.
- New padmode specs cover: inner editbar fully hidden, outer toolbar
swap (menu_left → history-controls), and outer slider drives the
iframe's revision via BroadcastSlider.

* fix(pad): exempt embedded history iframe from userdup kick (#7659)
When the in-place history iframe opens its socket, the server's
duplicate-author kick treats it as a stale tab and disconnects the
parent pad's live socket — toolbar-overlay drops over the editor and
Settings/Share/Users/Chat all stop responding. Mark the iframe's
connection with `embed=1` in the socket.io handshake query, record it
on sessionInfo, and skip the kick whenever either side is embedded.
- timeslider.ts: detect `?embed=1` (and parent !== window) on
the iframe URL, pass through as a query parameter to socketio.connect.
- PadMessageHandler: read socket.handshake.query.embed on CLIENT_READY,
set sessionInfo.embed; the duplicate-author kick now skips when
either the connecting session OR the existing session is embedded.
Behavior preserved
- Two real tabs (both non-embedded): older tab still gets kicked.
- Authenticated sessions still bypass the kick entirely.
- Live pad socket survives entry into history mode.

* fix(pad): a11y of history toolbar controls (#7659)
The new history controls (slider + play/step/timer) had hardcoded
English aria-labels, which html10n won't replace because they were
present without the data-l10n-aria-label marker. Screen readers in
non-English locales would have heard English. Drop the static aria
labels and let html10n.translateElement populate aria-label from the
data-l10n-id translation, matching how the rest of the toolbar works.
- pad.html: remove hardcoded aria-label on play/step buttons and the
range input; keep titles (hover tooltip) and data-l10n-id. Add
role="toolbar" + data-l10n-id on the controls container so the
toolbar landmark is announced. Mark play button as a toggle with
aria-pressed reflecting playback state.
- en.json: add pad.historyMode.controlsLabel and
pad.historyMode.sliderLabel for the toolbar landmark and the slider.
- pad_mode.ts: keep aria-pressed in sync with the inner playback state
on every revision update.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(pad): a11y + responsive for history controls (#7659)
Two issues with the previous a11y attempt: the data-l10n-id on icon
buttons was setting their textContent (drawing "Playback / Pause Pad
Contents" on screen next to the glyph), and there was no responsive
treatment so the timer + slider could overflow narrow viewports.
- pad.html: drop data-l10n-id from the icon buttons. They're now
empty <button>s. Localized title (hover tooltip) and aria-label
(screen reader name) are populated by pad_mode.localizeControls()
using the existing timeslider.* keys, with an html10n.bind
subscription so language switches re-localize.
- Mark #history-timer as hide-for-mobile.
- pad.css: dedicated @media (max-width: 800px) and 480px rules
shrink padding, gap, and button widths so play + slider + step
buttons stay on a single toolbar line at narrow viewports. Mirrors
the legacy timeslider's responsive behavior.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(pad): inline Follow + Playback speed, match toolbar height (#7659)
Two follow-ups from real testing:
- Move "Follow pad content updates" (now "Follow") and "Playback speed"
out of the Settings popup and inline them in the history-mode
toolbar, alongside the slider + play/step buttons. They were always
needed while scrubbing; one extra click into Settings was friction.
Removed the now-empty #history-settings-section.
- The history controls toolbar was visibly shorter than the live
toolbar because the icon buttons sat as bare <button> elements
without the live editbar's <li><a> wrapping. Add explicit
min-height (40px) and per-button padding so the toolbar is the same
vertical size in both modes — switching between live and history
no longer reflows.
- Differentiate "iframe-mounted history view" from "direct ?embed=1
visit". Only the former hides the inner timeslider editbar — direct
visits keep their full chrome so existing test/legacy entry points
stay independently usable. Marker: timeslider.ts adds an
`iframe-mode` class on body when window.parent !== window; CSS
scopes the hide to that combo.
Tests
- padmode spec asserts Follow + Speed live in the toolbar (not the
Settings popup) and are visible in history mode, hidden in live.
- timeslider*.spec direct-?embed=1 flows continue to pass because the
inner editbar is no longer hidden when not iframe-mounted.

* fix(pad): use absolute path for legacy /timeslider redirect (#7659)
CI Firefox failed the legacy-URL redirect test (1 of 32 jobs); Chromium
passed. The redirect Location header was a relative `../padname`, which
both browsers resolve to /p/padname for `/p/padname/timeslider`. Firefox
flaked on it once consistently. Switch to an absolute path including
the proxy prefix so the resolution is unambiguous across browsers.

* fix(test): accept 304 on legacy timeslider redirect (#7659)
CI Firefox failed `expect(res.status()).toBe(200)` because Firefox
issues a conditional GET when the redirect target is the same URL the
test just loaded via goToNewPad — the server returns 304 Not Modified
and the test treats that as a regression. Chromium happens to send
fresh requests so it stayed green.
Accept either 200 or 304 — both are valid completed navigations to the
pad page; what we actually care about is the pathname assertion above.

* feat(pad): eye toggle for Follow, fix line-number alignment (#7659)
Two refinements from real testing in 9002:
Follow as an eye toggle
- Replace the labeled checkbox with an inline-SVG eye icon. The eye is
always rendered; a diagonal slash is overlaid via SVG <line> only
when the underlying (visually hidden) checkbox is unchecked. Default
state is on (auto-following) so the eye renders unobstructed.
- Localized hover tooltip + aria-label flips with state — html10n
populates "Following pad changes — click to stop following" vs
"Not following pad changes — click to follow", and pad_mode.ts
re-applies on every change event so screen readers narrate the
action the click would take.
- Hidden checkbox keeps the existing pad_mode.ts bridge code working
(still reads .checked) and lets <label for="…"> handle the click.
Line-number alignment fix (broadcast.ts)
- The first-line height formula was
`nextDocLine.offsetTop - innerdocbody.padding-top`
which only computes the right value when innerdocbody is the
offsetParent. In the in-pad history iframe, outerdocbody contributes
its own padding-top to the offsetTop chain, so the first gutter row
was 20px too tall and every subsequent line drifted out of
alignment. Use the consistent `next.offsetTop - current.offsetTop`
formula for every iteration — same result in the standalone
timeslider, correct result in the embedded one.
- New padmode spec asserts every gutter row's top matches the editor
line's top within 2px, in iframe-mounted history mode.

* feat(api): clean up published OpenAPI spec for downstream codegens
The /api/openapi.json doc had four issues that broke generated tooling
(printingpress.dev, openapi-generator, Postman): empty top-level tags
array, every operation duplicated as GET+POST, 14 operations missing
from the resources map (drift since API 1.2.8), and empty summaries on
several tracked ops.
This PR splits the runtime spec from the published spec via a {public}
flag on generateDefinitionForVersion: the runtime definition fed to
openapi-backend keeps both verbs (existing third-party clients that
call GET /api/x.x.x/foo?apikey=... continue to work), while the spec
served at /api/openapi.json, /rest/openapi.json, and per-version paths
advertises only POST.
Other changes:
- top-level tags array declares pad/author/session/group/chat/server
- per-op tags override added to SwaggerUIResource type so chat ops
(still nested under pad for routing) and checkToken can be tagged
without changing existing REST URLs
- 14 missing ops (getAttributePool, getRevisionChangeset, copyPad,
movePad, getPadID, getSavedRevisionsCount, listSavedRevisions,
saveRevision, restoreRevision, appendText, copyPadWithoutHistory,
compactPad, anonymizeAuthor, getStats) backfilled with summaries
- empty summaries on listSessionsOfGroup, listAllGroups,
createDiffHTML, createPad filled in
- new backend tests assert the public spec shape (tags, summaries,
POST-only) and that runtime routing still resolves both verbs
Driven by integrating Etherpad with printingpress.dev: pointing the
generator at the previous spec produced a 96-command CLI with no
resource grouping and many empty descriptions. Design notes in
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-10-openapi-cleanup-design.md.

* fix(api): keep checkToken at /rest/<ver>/pad/checkToken (Qodo #2)
Moving checkToken to a new `server` resource broke REST-style
backward compat: existing callers of /rest/<ver>/pad/checkToken
would have hit `code: 3` (no such function). The whole point of
per-op tag overrides is to preserve REST URLs while still grouping
correctly in OpenAPI tags — checkToken should follow the same
pattern as the chat ops.
Keep checkToken in `resources.pad`, give it `tags: ['server']`,
and add a regression test asserting /rest/<ver>/pad/checkToken
still resolves. The `server` resource still exists for `getStats`
(genuinely new server-level op with no prior REST URL).
Updates the design doc accordingly.

#7584 introduced auto-population of aria-label from a translation
when an element has data-l10n-id and no author-supplied aria-label.
That branch only fires for elements with no children (or with
data-l10n-id ending in a recognized attribute suffix like .title).
Form-control elements break the assumption: a <select> always has
<option> children, an <input>/<textarea> may have implicit value
content. The textContent branch handles them, but the aria-label
fallback wasn't called from there. Plugins like ep_font_size,
ep_headings2, and ep_hljs end up with a localized translation
applied to a <select> but no accessible name on the element itself.
Calls populateAriaLabel() from the textContent branch when the node
is a <select>, <input>, or <textarea>. Keeps the same
"author-supplied aria-label wins on first pass; the
data-l10n-aria-label marker lets us refresh values we wrote"
semantics from #7584.
Adds Playwright coverage in
src/tests/frontend-new/specs/html10n_form_controls_aria.spec.ts:
- aria-label is populated on <select> with data-l10n-id
- aria-label is populated on <textarea> with data-l10n-id
- author-supplied aria-label is preserved on first pass
* fix(updater): build expected paths via path.join in updater tests
The Windows backend job has been red on develop since #7607 (tier-2
auto-update) merged: RollbackHandler.test.ts:122 and
UpdateExecutor.test.ts:66 asserted POSIX-style paths, but the
implementations build the same paths via path.join — which emits
backslashes on Windows. The tests pass on Linux/macOS only by
coincidence.
Switch the expected values to path.join(deps.repoDir, ...) /
path.join(deps.backupDir, ...) so they track whatever the
implementation produces on the host platform.
No production code changes.

* fix(admin-spec): assert installed-plugins by name, not row count
ep_set_title_on_pad@0.7.2 took on ep_plugin_helpers as a transitive
plugin dependency, so installing it now adds two rows to the
installed-plugins table (the new plugin + its helper plugin) rather
than one. The Playwright spec hard-coded `toHaveCount(2)` after install
and `toHaveCount(1)` after uninstall, so it has been red on develop
since #7705 merged the new admin bundle (every Frontend admin tests
job, every Node version).
Switch the assertions to scope by row text — `tr` containing
`ep_set_title_on_pad` — and check that exactly one such row exists
after install and zero after uninstall. This survives whatever
transitive plugin deps the chosen test plugin pulls along, which is
the only thing this spec actually cares about.
Verified locally on a fresh Etherpad install: 3/3 admin-update-plugins
tests pass.

* chore: regenerate lockfile with pnpm 10 to restore overrides block (#7638)
Adding admin deps with pnpm 11 stripped the top-level \`overrides:\`
section from pnpm-lock.yaml, which CI uses pnpm 10 to verify. Result:
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH on every job. Re-running pnpm 10
\`install --lockfile-only\` restores the overrides block; the new admin
package entries land in the same commit. Two stale lockfile entries
not present in package.json (\`serialize-javascript\` version pin and
\`uuid@<14.0.0\`) were normalized by the regen — package.json is the
source of truth for those.

* build(docker): preserve strictDepBuilds=false in trimmed workspace yaml (#7638)
Adding tsx as an admin devDep brings esbuild@0.27.x into the resolved
subgraph, and the Dockerfile's runtime stage was overwriting
pnpm-workspace.yaml with a stripped-down version that lost the
strictDepBuilds=false setting from the source repo. With pnpm 10's
default of strictDepBuilds=true, the install then errors on
ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS for esbuild + scarf rather than warning.
Restore the strictDepBuilds=false and the @scarf/scarf ignore in the
trimmed yaml so the production install matches develop's behavior.

* fix(admin): point client baseUrl at /api/<version> via codegen (#7638)
Qodo flagged: with baseUrl='/' and schema paths like '/createGroup',
calls landed at /createGroup, but the backend mounts the FLAT-style
spec under /api/<version>/. So once a call site lands, every request
404s.
gen:api now also emits admin/src/api/version.ts containing
LATEST_API_VERSION (read from info.version in the spec) and a derived
API_BASE_URL = `/api/<version>`. client.ts imports API_BASE_URL.
Workflow freshness check covers both generated files.

Windows CI failed because spawnSync('pnpm', ...) cannot resolve

so the shell variant is not an injection risk.

* chore(admin): gitignore generated schema/version, regen on every script (#7638)
Qodo flagged the committed admin/src/api/schema.d.ts as a build artifact
that violates the rule against committing generated files (rule 467291,
"Exclude build artifacts and runtime-generated files from version control").
This commit:
- Adds admin/src/api/{schema.d.ts,version.ts} to .gitignore.
- Removes both from VCS (the prior squash had committed them).
- Chains \`gen:api\` into the dev and test scripts so a fresh checkout
lands a working dev server / test run without an extra step. build
and build-copy already chained gen:api.
- Drops the now-redundant CI freshness diff step from
frontend-admin-tests.yml — with the files no longer committed, the
build step's gen:api invocation is the only check needed.
- Updates admin/README.md to describe the new generated-file workflow.

* docs(updater): PR 2 (Tier 2 manual-click) implementation plan
20-task TDD plan for shipping the manual-click update flow on top of the
Tier 1 (notify) work merged in #7601. Covers UpdateExecutor, RollbackHandler,
SessionDrainer, lock + trustedKeys, four admin endpoints (apply / cancel /
acknowledge / log), admin UI updates, integration tests against a tmp git
repo, and a manual smoke runbook for the spec's "before each tier ships"
gate. Plan deliberately scopes signature verification to an opt-in stub
(updates.requireSignature: false default) to avoid blocking on a separate
release-signing project.
Plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-08-auto-update-pr2-manual-click.md
Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-25-auto-update-design.md
Issue: ether/etherpad#7607

* feat(updater): extend state + settings for Tier 2 manual-click
Adds ExecutionStatus discriminated union, bootCount, and lastResult to
UpdateState, plus the preApplyGraceMinutes/drainSeconds/diskSpaceMinMB/
requireSignature/trustedKeysPath knobs that Tier 2's executor needs.
loadState backfills the new fields on Tier 1 state files so existing
installs keep working.

* feat(updater): PID-based update.lock with stale-pid reaping
Single-flight guard for Tier 2's UpdateExecutor. Atomic O_CREAT|O_EXCL
acquire; on EEXIST, sends signal 0 to the recorded PID and reaps if dead.
Unparseable / partially-written lock files are treated as stale rather
than fatal so a half-written lock from a SIGKILL'd parent doesn't lock
the install out forever.

* feat(updater): verifyReleaseTag — gpg-via-git stub for Tier 2 preflight
Default updates.requireSignature=false: log a warning and return ok with
reason=signature-not-required. Set true to make preflight refuse a tag
whose signature does not verify under the system keyring (or
trustedKeysPath via GNUPGHOME). Etherpad's release process does not yet
sign tags consistently; turning the check on by default would break
Tier 2 for every admin and forcing a release-signing change is out of
scope for this PR.

* feat(updater): preflight check pipeline for Tier 2
Pure orchestrator over injected probes for install-method, working tree,
disk space, pnpm presence, lock state, remote tag existence and
signature verification. Cheap-and-definitive checks run first; first
failure short-circuits with a typed reason that the route layer will
surface in the preflight-failed admin banner.

* feat(updater): rolling update.log helpers (appendLine + tailLines)
Direct file-append + size-based rotation rather than a log4js appender —
avoids re-configuring log4js on top of the user's existing logconfig.
appendLine creates parents, rotates at 10MB (configurable), keeps 5
backups by default. tailLines reads the last N lines for /admin/update/log.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): SessionDrainer + handshake guard
Drainer schedules T-60 / -30 / -10 broadcasts and resolves at T=0;
isAcceptingConnections() flips off for the duration. PadMessageHandler
consults the flag at the start of CLIENT_READY and disconnects new
joiners with reason "updateInProgress" — existing sockets are
unaffected. Drains shorter than 30s collapse the early timers to fire
ASAP rather than queue past the drain end.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): UpdateExecutor — snapshot, fetch/checkout/install/build, exit 75
Pure-DI orchestrator: spawnFn, copyFile, readSha, saveState, exit are all
injected so unit tests run the full pipeline without spawning real
children or mutating the real install. Streams stdout/stderr to
update.log via the now-best-effort appendLine helper (swallows fs errors
so the executor itself never breaks on read-only / unwritable log dirs).
Failure paths transition to rolling-back and return — the route layer
hands off to RollbackHandler which owns the rollback exit, so we don't
double-exit and lose tail lines.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): RollbackHandler — health-check timer + crash-loop guard
checkPendingVerification arms a 60s timer at boot when state is
pending-verification and increments bootCount; bootCount>2 forces an
immediate rollback (crash-loop guard). markVerified persists the
verified state and stops the timer. performRollback restores the
backup lockfile, runs git checkout <fromSha> and pnpm install, lands on
rolled-back or rollback-failed (terminal) on sub-step failure, exits 75
either way so the supervisor restart brings the new state up.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): wire RollbackHandler into boot + UpdatePolicy honours rollback-failed
- expressCreateServer now invokes checkPendingVerification before polling starts
so a previous boot's pending-verification either re-arms the health-check
timer or, when bootCount has climbed past the crash-loop threshold, forces
an immediate rollback.
- server.ts calls markBootHealthy after state hits RUNNING so /health-being-up
is the implicit happy-path signal that cancels the rollback timer.
- /admin/update/status surfaces execution + lastResult + lockHeld so the admin
UI can render the right Apply / Cancel / Acknowledge state.
- UpdatePolicy gains an `executionStatus` input. While it equals 'rollback-failed',
canAuto / canAutonomous are denied (reason: rollback-failed-terminal); manual
stays on because clicking Apply IS the intervention the terminal state needs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): apply / cancel / acknowledge / log endpoints
Strict admin-only POSTs that drive Tier 2's manual-click flow:
- POST /admin/update/apply: acquire lock, persist preflight, run preflight,
drain $drainSeconds, executeUpdate (which exits 75 on success), or run
performRollback on a failure path (also exits 75).
- POST /admin/update/cancel: cancel a pre-execute drain/preflight, write
cancelled lastResult, release lock.
- POST /admin/update/acknowledge: clear terminal states (preflight-failed,
rolled-back, rollback-failed) back to idle. lastResult is preserved so
the admin still sees what happened.
- GET /admin/update/log: tail var/log/update.log (200 lines) for the in-
progress UI. Strict admin auth.
Also:
- socketio hook exports getIo() so the apply endpoint can broadcast the
drain shoutMessage outside the regular hook surface.
- ep.json registers updateActions after admin/updateStatus.
- 11 mocha integration tests cover auth, policy denial, execution-busy,
acknowledge-clears-terminal, log content-type.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): admin UI Apply/Cancel/Acknowledge + live log stream
UpdatePage renders the right action set based on execution.status:
Apply when idle/verified and policy allows, Cancel during
preflight/draining, Acknowledge on terminal preflight-failed /
rolled-back / rollback-failed. While the executor is in flight
(preflight/draining/executing/rolling-back) the page polls
/admin/update/log + /admin/update/status once a second and shows the
rolling tail; polling stops automatically when the run terminates.
lastResult and policy denial reasons surface localised copy. Buttons
disable themselves while a network round-trip is in flight to dodge
double-clicks. New i18n keys live under update.page.{apply,cancel,
acknowledge,log,execution,policy.*,last_result.*}, update.execution.*,
update.banner.terminal.rollback-failed, and update.drain.{t60,t30,t10}.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): pad shoutMessage renders update.drain.* via html10n
broadcastShout now sends {messageKey, values, sticky} so the existing
pad-side shout pipeline can route through html10n.get(). The renderer
gains a values pass-through so update.drain.t60 etc. interpolate
{{seconds}}, and gives updater shouts a different gritter title (the
banner.title localised string) so users know it's a system event
rather than a generic admin message.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): rollback uses git checkout -f + integration suite over tmp git repo
RollbackHandler now does git checkout -f <fromSha> BEFORE overlaying the
backup lockfile. Without -f, git refuses checkout when there are
unstaged modifications to files it would overwrite — exactly the case
after a partial executor run that mutated the working tree. With -f the
partial mutation is discarded and the working tree returns to fromSha
cleanly. The backup-lockfile copy is still done (belt-and-braces) but
tolerates ENOENT since checkout already restored the right lockfile.
The new integration suite at src/tests/backend/specs/updater-integration.ts
exercises the full pipeline against a disposable git repo: happy path,
install-fail rollback, build-fail rollback, crash-loop guard, and a
target-sha-doesn't-exist rollback-failed terminal case. 5 mocha tests.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(updater): Playwright admin Apply / Cancel / Acknowledge flow
Stubs /admin/update/status (and /admin/update/apply for the apply path)
at the route level so we can assert UI transitions without actually
running an update. Four scenarios:
- Apply button POSTs and re-fetches status (>=2 status fetches total).
- install-method-not-writable hides the button and shows localised
denial copy.
- rollback-failed terminal state shows the Acknowledge button and the
"Manual intervention required" lastResult copy.
- lockHeld=true hides Apply even when policy.canManual is on.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(updater): admin banner shows rollback-failed terminal alert
When execution.status === 'rollback-failed' the banner switches to a
role=alert with the strong update.banner.terminal.rollback-failed copy
and overrides the regular "update available" framing — an admin who
left the system in this state needs to fix it before any other admin
work matters. Other terminal states (preflight-failed, rolled-back) are
informational and surface on the page itself, not the banner.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(updater): Tier 2 admin docs + manual smoke runbook + CHANGELOG
doc/admin/updates.md gains a full Tier 2 section: prerequisites
(git install + process supervisor with sample systemd unit), Apply
flow with timings, every failure mode and the resulting state, the
four endpoints, and the signature-verification opt-in. Settings
table picks up the new updates.* knobs.
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-25-auto-update-runbook.md is the
manual smoke runbook the design spec calls for: disposable VM,
systemd unit, every observable transition (happy path, install/
build-fail rollback, crash-loop guard, rollback-failed terminal,
cancel during drain) plus a sign-off checklist for the release cut.
CHANGELOG Unreleased section explains the supervisor requirement
and points readers at the runbook.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(updater): note docker-friendly update flows as follow-up work
Tier 2 refuses Apply on installMethod=docker because in-container
mutation doesn't survive a container restart. Adds a future-work note
covering the two reasonable paths for an in-product docker Apply
button (instructions-only vs deploy-webhook) and explicitly rules out
mounting /var/run/docker.sock as a footgun. Watchtower gets a pointer
for admins who want fully autonomous docker updates today.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(updater): address Qodo review (1-6) + Playwright strict-mode CI fix
1. Tier 2 endpoints now gate on tier in {manual, auto, autonomous} —
notify and off return 404 to match the prior PR-1 behaviour. Gate is
evaluated per-request via app.use middleware so a settings.json reload
takes effect without a full restart, and so integration tests can flip
the tier dynamically. Adds a regression test that exercises 404 at
tier=notify across all four endpoints.
2. cancel/apply race fixed: /admin/update/cancel no longer releases the
lock — apply's finally block owns it for the request's lifetime. Apply
now reloads state after preflight and aborts with 409 cancelled-during-
preflight if execution.status is no longer 'preflight' for the same
targetTag. Prevents a second apply from sneaking in while the first is
still running its slow checks, and prevents the post-cancel apply from
continuing into drain/execute.
3. SessionDrainer now restores acceptingConnections=true at drain
completion (not just on cancel). The lock + persisted execution.status
prevent a fresh apply from racing in — the in-memory flag was redundant
safety that turned into a wedge if the executor threw post-drain. Adds
a unit test asserting the flag is restored after natural drain end.
4. PadMessageHandler drain guard switched from socket.json.send (a
socket.io v2/v3 API that may not exist on v4) to socket.emit('message',
...) for consistency with the other disconnect paths in the file.
5. Spawn 'error' handlers added to runStep helpers in UpdateExecutor and
RollbackHandler, plus the gpg verify-tag spawn in trustedKeys. Without
them, a missing/unexecutable binary leaves the promise hanging forever
and the update flow stuck in-flight. SpawnFn type extended to allow
on('error', ...) listeners cleanly. Spawn errors now resolve with code
1 + the error message in stderr, so the existing failure-detection
branches fire normally.
6. executeUpdate body wrapped in try/catch. An exception from readSha,
saveState, copyFile, or any step now lands in a rolling-back persist +
returns failed-checkout, so the route's post-executor rollback path
picks it up. State can no longer wedge at 'executing'. The catch's
inner saveState is itself try/wrapped so a write-after-write failure
doesn't crash the route either.
CI: Playwright update-page-actions strict-mode violation fixed. Both the
banner and the lastResult <p> contain "Manual intervention required";
selector now scopes to p.last-result-rollback-failed for the lastResult
assertion specifically.
129 vitest unit tests + 23 mocha integration tests passing; ts-check clean.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(updater): address Qodo #7 (status leak) + #8 (short-drain values)
#7. /admin/update/status now redacts diagnostic strings for unauth callers
even when requireAdminForStatus is left at its default (false). Status
enum + outcome enum are kept (the admin banner / pad-side badge need them
to render the right UI) but execution.reason / execution.fromSha /
execution.targetTag and the same fields on lastResult are stripped.
Authed admin sessions still get the full payload — they're looking at
their own server's diagnostics. Two new mocha tests cover both paths:
"redacts execution.reason / lastResult.reason for unauth callers" and
"returns full diagnostic payload to authed admin sessions".
#8. SessionDrainer no longer schedules T-30 / T-10 broadcasts when the
configured drainSeconds can't honour them. Previously, with drainSeconds
< 30 the T-30 timer fired at zero remaining but the broadcast still
claimed "30 seconds" — misleading. Now T-30 only schedules when
drainSeconds > 30 and T-10 only when > 10. Admins picking a short drain
get fewer announcements but each carries an accurate countdown. The
opening announcement now reports the configured drain length rather
than a hardcoded 60. Two updated unit tests: drainSeconds=15 (skips
T-30, still fires T-10) and drainSeconds=5 (skips both).
131 vitest unit + 26 mocha integration tests passing; ts-check clean.

* fix(updater): address Qodo follow-up — tag injection, rollback rejections, state validation
Qodo posted three new concerns after the first fix push.
1. Git tag option injection (security). The release tag from GitHub's
tag_name flowed into `git checkout` / `git verify-tag` as a positional
arg. A tag starting with '-' would be parsed as an option and could
bypass signature verification or change checkout semantics. Mitigated
in three layers:
- New refSafety helper (isValidTag / assertValidTag / refsTagsForm)
enforces a strict subset of git's check-ref-format spec: rejects
leading '-' or '.', whitespace, control chars, and ~ ^ : ? * [ \\
and the '..' sequence.
- VersionChecker validates tag_name before persisting to state, so a
malformed value from a misconfigured githubRepo never lands on disk.
- UpdateExecutor calls assertValidTag and uses the refs/tags/<tag>
form for git checkout. trustedKeys also validates and adds '--' to
git verify-tag for an end-of-options marker. updateActions does an
up-front isValidTag check on state.latest.tag so a corrupt state
file gets a clean 409 instead of a 500.
2. Unhandled rollback rejections. checkPendingVerification was firing
`void deps.saveState(...)` and `void performRollback(...)` without
.catch(), so an fs error during boot's rollback path would bubble out
as an unhandled rejection. Both callsites now go through fireSaveState
/ fireRollback helpers that catch and log; rollback rejections fall
through to a best-effort terminal-state write + exit 75 so the
supervisor can re-try the next boot with bootCount++.
3. Execution state under-validated. isValidExecution previously checked
only that `status` was a known enum value, so a hand-edited state file
with `{execution: {status: 'pending-verification'}}` (missing fromSha
/ targetTag / deadlineAt) would pass validation and reach
RollbackHandler with undefined refs. The validator now consults a
per-status required-fields map mirroring the ExecutionStatus union in
types.ts and rejects empty strings as well as missing fields. Same
tightening applied to lastResult.outcome (must be in the allowed enum,
not just any string). Six new unit tests cover hand-edited corruption.
145 vitest + 26 mocha tests green; ts-check clean.

* build(admin): exclude __tests__ from tsc include (#7638)
The smoke test imports node:test/node:assert which need @types/node.
Admin source is browser-only, so excluding __tests__ from the production
typecheck is cleaner than adding Node types to the bundle config. The
test still runs under tsx, which doesn't share this constraint.

* chore: regenerate lockfile with pnpm 10 to restore overrides block (#7638)
Adding admin deps with pnpm 11 stripped the top-level \`overrides:\`
section from pnpm-lock.yaml, which CI uses pnpm 10 to verify. Result:
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH on every job. Re-running pnpm 10
\`install --lockfile-only\` restores the overrides block; the new admin
package entries land in the same commit. Two stale lockfile entries
not present in package.json (\`serialize-javascript\` version pin and
\`uuid@<14.0.0\`) were normalized by the regen — package.json is the
source of truth for those.

* build(docker): preserve strictDepBuilds=false in trimmed workspace yaml (#7638)
Adding tsx as an admin devDep brings esbuild@0.27.x into the resolved
subgraph, and the Dockerfile's runtime stage was overwriting
pnpm-workspace.yaml with a stripped-down version that lost the
strictDepBuilds=false setting from the source repo. With pnpm 10's
default of strictDepBuilds=true, the install then errors on
ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS for esbuild + scarf rather than warning.
Restore the strictDepBuilds=false and the @scarf/scarf ignore in the
trimmed yaml so the production install matches develop's behavior.

* fix(admin): point client baseUrl at /api/<version> via codegen (#7638)
Qodo flagged: with baseUrl='/' and schema paths like '/createGroup',
calls landed at /createGroup, but the backend mounts the FLAT-style
spec under /api/<version>/. So once a call site lands, every request
404s.
gen:api now also emits admin/src/api/version.ts containing
LATEST_API_VERSION (read from info.version in the spec) and a derived
API_BASE_URL = `/api/<version>`. client.ts imports API_BASE_URL.
Workflow freshness check covers both generated files.

* build(admin): cross-platform spawn in gen-api.mjs (#7638)
Windows CI failed because spawnSync('pnpm', ...) cannot resolve
pnpm.cmd without a shell. Set shell:true on win32 only so Linux/macOS
runs avoid Node's DEP0190 warning. All spawn args are literal strings,
so the shell variant is not an injection risk.

* chore(admin): gitignore generated schema/version, regen on every script (#7638)
Qodo flagged the committed admin/src/api/schema.d.ts as a build artifact
that violates the rule against committing generated files (rule 467291,
"Exclude build artifacts and runtime-generated files from version control").
This commit:
- Adds admin/src/api/{schema.d.ts,version.ts} to .gitignore.
- Removes both from VCS (the prior squash had committed them).
- Chains \`gen:api\` into the dev and test scripts so a fresh checkout
lands a working dev server / test run without an extra step. build
and build-copy already chained gen:api.
- Drops the now-redundant CI freshness diff step from
frontend-admin-tests.yml — with the files no longer committed, the
build step's gen:api invocation is the only check needed.
- Updates admin/README.md to describe the new generated-file workflow.

* docs(admin): design for admin OpenAPI coverage (#7693)
Adds the design doc for documenting `/admin-auth/*` and `/admin/update/status`
in the OpenAPI spec so the typed client generated by #7695 (`admin/src/api/
schema.d.ts`) gains admin call-sites the day it lands.
This PR is stacked on #7695 — codegen rails must merge first. Schema-only,
no call-site migrations (those are an explicit follow-up named in #7693).

* docs(admin): correct UpdateStatus schema to base-branch shape (#7693)
The first draft mirrored the Tier 2 (#7607) response shape, but this PR
stacks on #7695 whose updateStatus.ts only emits the Tier 1 fields. Fix
the schema, install-method enum, and tier enum to match types.ts and
the actual handler. Tier 2 amends UpdateStatus when it lands.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(admin): implementation plan for admin OpenAPI coverage (#7693)
Step-by-step task breakdown for the schema-only PR: stub the document,
add /admin-auth/ + /admin/update/status paths and sub-schemas,
collision regression, /admin/openapi.json route, codegen merge, and CI
verification. No call-site migrations.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(admin): stub OpenAPI document for admin endpoints (#7693)
Adds generateAdminDefinition() returning a minimal valid OpenAPI 3.0
document with no paths yet, plus security schemes for the two auth
modes (Basic + session cookie). Subsequent tasks fill in the actual
admin paths.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(admin): document POST /admin-auth/ in OpenAPI (#7693)
Adds verifyAdminAccess as the operation that the admin UI's LoginScreen
and App session check both call. Documents Basic auth, session cookie,
and anonymous request modes plus their 200/401/403 responses.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(admin): document GET /admin/update/status in OpenAPI (#7693)
Adds getUpdateStatus operation plus UpdateStatus, ReleaseInfo,
PolicyResult, and VulnerableBelowDirective sub-schemas. Property names
and enums mirror src/node/updater/types.ts and the response object
emitted by updateStatus.ts. Tier 2 (#7607) will amend UpdateStatus when
it ships execution/lastResult/lockHeld.

* test(admin): regression net for admin/public OpenAPI collisions (#7693)
Cross-checks admin paths, operationIds, and schema names against the
latest public spec. Today there are no overlaps; the test exists to
catch future renames before they break the merged client codegen.

* feat(admin): expose admin OpenAPI doc at /admin/openapi.json (#7693)
Mounts the admin OpenAPI document at /admin/openapi.json (CORS: *) via
an expressPreSession hook, matching the /api/openapi.json convention.
The admin SPA wildcard at /admin/{*filename} registers later in
expressCreateServer, so the JSON route wins. Live-route test confirms
JSON content-type and CORS header.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(admin): mergeOpenAPI helper for codegen pipeline (#7693)
Pure-JS deep-merge of two OpenAPI 3.0 documents. Unions paths and
components by key; throws on collisions. Public document's info,
servers, and root security win over the admin document's. Used by
dump-spec.ts to produce a single merged JSON for openapi-typescript.

* docs(admin): fix stale "Section 3" reference in spec (#7693)
Drafting numbered the design walkthrough; final spec uses titled
sections. Update the back-reference accordingly.

* feat(admin): include admin OpenAPI in generated client (#7693)
Modifies dump-spec.ts to import generateAdminDefinition alongside the
public generator and feed both through mergeOpenAPI before writing the
JSON consumed by openapi-typescript. The resulting admin/src/api/
schema.d.ts paths interface now exposes /admin-auth/ and
/admin/update/status, ready for typed call-site adoption in a follow-up.

* fix(admin): gate /admin/openapi.json behind a feature flag (#7693)
Address Qodo finding 1: new features must ship behind a flag, disabled
by default (CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.MD, best_practices.md). Adds
settings.adminOpenAPI.enabled (default false). expressPreSession
returns early when the flag is off, so the route is dormant on a fresh
install.
The codegen pipeline imports generateAdminDefinition() in-process and
does not depend on the runtime route, so default-off has no effect on
the typed client. Operators who want third-party tooling (Postman,
swagger-ui, downstream clients) to consume the spec at runtime opt in
via settings.
Adds:
- SettingsType + defaults entry in src/node/utils/Settings.ts
- settings.json.template documentation
- A backend spec asserting expressPreSession is a no-op when the flag
is off (live route test now sets the flag explicitly)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(admin): split fetchClient by surface; admin client baseUrl='/' (#7693)
Address Qodo finding 2 (correctness bug). The merged schema introduced
in this PR exposes both public-API paths (under /api/<version>/) and
admin paths (at root, e.g. /admin-auth/). The single fetchClient from
#7695 has baseUrl=API_BASE_URL ("/api/<version>"), so calling an admin
path through it would resolve to /api/<version>/admin-auth/ — wrong.
Fix:
- Narrow the generated `paths` interface by URL prefix
(`/admin*` vs everything else).
- Export two clients: `fetchClient` (public, baseUrl=/api/<version>)
and `adminFetchClient` (admin, baseUrl='/').
- Mirror with `$api` / `$adminApi` query hook factories.
TypeScript now rejects mixing surfaces at compile time:
fetchClient.GET('/admin-auth/') // type error: not in PublicPaths
adminFetchClient.GET('/createGroup') // type error: not in AdminPaths
Smoke test updated to assert all four exports exist.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(admin): spec — feature flag + dual-client design (#7693)
Reflect Qodo-driven changes:
- /admin/openapi.json route is now feature-flagged (default off).
- admin/src/api/client.ts splits paths by URL prefix and exports two
clients (public + admin) so TypeScript rejects mixing surfaces.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(admin): check adminOpenAPI flag per-request, not at hook setup (#7693)
The first feature-flag commit (dbcfb3902) gated the route by checking
the flag inside expressPreSession and skipping app.get() when off. That
broke under the full backend suite because common.init() is cached: the
first spec that calls it boots the server with whatever flag state was
present at that moment, and later specs cannot retroactively register
the route by toggling the flag.
Move the flag check inside the request handler:
- Route is always registered.
- Handler returns 404 application/json when the flag is off (so callers
get a clear "feature disabled" signal rather than the SPA wildcard's
text/html catch-all).
- Handler returns the spec + CORS * when the flag is on.
Tests now toggle the flag in-process and exercise both states against
the shared agent — no server restart needed. Added a "returns 404 JSON
when off" test alongside the existing "200 + spec + CORS when on".
Full backend suite: 1007 passing, 6 pending, 0 failures.

Native DOCX export, PDF export, and DOCX import shipped in #7568
via pure-JS in-process converters -- LibreOffice/soffice is no
longer required for those formats. Stale comments in
settings.json.template and settings.json.docker still implied
otherwise ("will only allow plain text and HTML import/exports"),
and the docker docs told users to configure soffice for DOCX as
well. Update them to match what's actually in core:
- soffice present: handles all office formats (existing behavior)
- soffice null: docx export, pdf export, docx import work
natively; odt/doc/rtf export and pdf import still need soffice
Touches:
- settings.json.template (soffice + docxExport comments)
- settings.json.docker (same)
- doc/docker.md ("Office-format import/export" section)
- doc/docker.adoc (same section + the SOFFICE table row,
matching what doc/docker.md already says since #7568)
No code changes, no behavior change -- documentation only.

* feat(export): native DOCX export via html-to-docx (opt-in)
Addresses #7538. The current DOCX export path shells out to LibreOffice,
which means every deployment that wants a Word download either installs
soffice (~500 MB) or loses that export. This PR adds a pure-JS
alternative: render the HTML via the existing exporthtml pipeline, then
feed it to the `html-to-docx` library in-process to produce a valid
.docx buffer — no soffice required, no subprocess spawn, no temp file
dance for the DOCX case.
Behavior:
- `settings.nativeDocxExport` (default `false`) gates the new path so
existing deployments see zero behavior change.
- When enabled, `type === 'docx'` requests skip the LibreOffice branch,
run `html-to-docx(html)`, and return the buffer with the
`application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document`
content-type.
- If the native converter throws, the handler falls through to the
existing LibreOffice path — so flipping the flag on is safe even on a
mixed-installation where soffice is still present as a backstop.
- Other export formats (pdf, odt, rtf, txt, html, etherpad) are
unchanged.
Files:
- `src/package.json`: `html-to-docx` dep (pure JS, no binary reqs)
- `src/node/handler/ExportHandler.ts`: new DOCX branch gated on the
setting, with fall-through on error
- `src/node/utils/Settings.ts`, `settings.json.template`,
`settings.json.docker`, `doc/docker.md`: wire up the new setting +
env var (`NATIVE_DOCX_EXPORT`)
- `src/tests/backend/specs/export.ts`: two new tests — asserts the
exported buffer is a valid ZIP (PK\x03\x04 signature) and the
response carries the correct content-type — both with
`settings.soffice = 'false'` to prove the path doesn't need soffice
at all.
Out of scope for this PR:
- Native PDF export (would need a PDF rendering step — separate
undertaking, and the issue acknowledges the `pdfkit`/puppeteer size
trade-off).
Closes#7538

* test(7538): skip native DOCX test when html-to-docx isn't installed
The upgrade-from-latest-release CI job installs deps from the previous
release's package.json (before this PR adds html-to-docx) and then
git-checkouts this branch's code without re-running pnpm install.
Under that one workflow the new test can't find the module and fails
on the LibreOffice fallback, masking that the native path actually
works in every normal install.
Guard the describe block with require.resolve('html-to-docx'); Mocha's
this.skip() on before cascades to the sibling its. Regular backend
tests (pnpm install against this branch's lockfile) still exercise it.

* docs(7538): spec for soffice-free DOCX/PDF export and DOCX import
Captures the agreed scope expansion of PR #7568: replace the flag-gated
native DOCX path with a soffice-first selection cascade, add native PDF
export via pdfkit + a small htmlparser2-driven walker, and add native
DOCX import via mammoth. Also defines a shared HTML sanitizer
(stripRemoteImages) used by both export converters to close the
SSRF surface that Qodo flagged on the html-to-docx path.
The spec drops the nativeDocxExport setting and its env var; with
soffice configured, behavior is unchanged, and with soffice null,
docx/pdf export and docx import all work in-process. odt/doc/rtf
(and pdf import) keep needing soffice and are documented as such.

Bite-sized TDD task breakdown of the soffice-free export/import work:

* chore(7538): add pdfkit, htmlparser2, mammoth deps
Pure-JS, no native binaries:
- pdfkit ^0.18.0 (PDF rendering)
- htmlparser2 ^12 (SAX parser used by walker + sanitizer)
- mammoth ^1.12 (DOCX -> HTML for native import)
- @types/pdfkit ^0.17 (dev)

* feat(7538): add stripRemoteImages HTML sanitizer
Drops <img src=> elements pointing at non-data, non-relative URLs to
prevent the DOCX/PDF converters from making outbound requests via
plugin-modified HTML. Closes Qodo finding #4 against the
html-to-docx path; will be wired into both export branches in
the cascade refactor.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(7538): native PDF export via pdfkit + htmlparser2 walker
Renders pad HTML to a PDF Buffer in-process: headings, paragraphs,
lists, links, inline emphasis, data:-URI images. Remote images are
explicitly skipped at the walker (defense-in-depth on top of the
shared stripRemoteImages sanitizer).
PDFs are emitted with compress:false so accessibility/SEO indexers
that don't FlateDecode can still extract text. Pads are small enough
that the size cost is negligible.
Walker is 167 LOC, well under the spec's 500-LOC bail-out
threshold for switching to pdfmake+html-to-pdfmake+jsdom.

* feat(7538): native DOCX import via mammoth
Wraps mammoth.convertToHtml so a soffice-less Etherpad can ingest
.docx files. Images are coerced to data: URIs at the converter
boundary so the import pipeline never sees a remote src=.
Includes a tiny generated DOCX fixture (heading, paragraph, list)
under tests/backend/specs/fixtures/ for both this wrapper test and
the upcoming end-to-end import test.

* feat(7538): soffice-first cascade in ExportHandler
Replaces the flag-gated DOCX branch with a deterministic dispatch:
soffice if configured, native DOCX/PDF otherwise, 5xx on native
error. Both native paths run plugin-modified HTML through
stripRemoteImages first.
Test changes:
- existing native DOCX block now sets soffice=null (was 'false', a
truthy non-null string that sidestepped the route guard); fixes
Qodo finding #3.
- new native PDF integration tests assert %PDF- header and
application/pdf content-type with soffice=null.
- new negative test: with soffice=null, /export/odt still returns
the 'not enabled' message.
- the legacy 500-on-export-error test now uses /bin/false so it
exercises the soffice error path explicitly (the cascade dropped
the ad-hoc 'false' string; .doc has no native path so this still
works as a soffice error probe).
Integration tests for native DOCX/PDF currently fail because the
/export route guard still treats both formats as soffice-only;
the next commit fixes that.

* fix(7538): allow docx/pdf through export guard without soffice
Tightens the no-soffice block to ['odt','doc'] only — formats with
no native path. docx and pdf are handed to ExportHandler, which
dispatches to the in-process converters. Closes Qodo finding #2.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(7538): native DOCX import path in ImportHandler
When soffice is null and the upload is .docx, run mammoth and feed
the resulting HTML through setPadHTML. Other office formats
(pdf/odt/doc/rtf) are explicitly rejected with uploadFailed instead
of silently falling through to the ASCII-only path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7538): always show DOCX/PDF export links
Native paths (#7538) make DOCX and PDF available regardless of
soffice presence, so unconditionally render those links. ODT still
gates on exportAvailable. Closes Qodo finding #2 on the UI side.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(7538): drop nativeDocxExport flag
Selection is now purely soffice-presence-driven (cascade in
ExportHandler). The opt-in setting and its NATIVE_DOCX_EXPORT env
var are no longer needed -- soffice configured means soffice path;
soffice null means native path (DOCX, PDF, and DOCX import).
Reverts the additive surface introduced earlier in this PR.
Also updates the SOFFICE doc row to reflect that null no longer
means 'plain text and HTML only' -- docx/pdf export and docx
import now work natively without soffice.

* test(7538): tighten link annotation assertion
CodeQL flagged the loose 'raw.includes("etherpad.org")' as
'incomplete URL substring sanitization' (a false positive in test
context, but worth fixing). Match the full /URI (host) form
instead -- it's both more accurate (we're verifying the PDF link
annotation structure) and CodeQL-clean.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7538): cleaner DOCX/PDF output + round-trip test coverage
DOCX:
- New extractBody helper drops <head>/<style> and the leading
newline inside <body> so html-to-docx doesn't render CSS or
prefix paragraphs with empty space.
- New wrapLooseLines pre-processor wraps loose pad lines in <p>
before the converter sees them. html-to-docx renders <br>
outside <p> as a new <w:p> (full empty line in Word); inside
<p> it correctly emits <w:br/> (soft break). Etherpad's HTML
uses bare <br> for every line, so this was making single
Enters look like double Enters in the Word output.
PDF:
- Walker SKIP_TAGS rejects head/style/script/title/meta/link
content -- prior version dumped CSS into the rendered PDF.
- New breakLine() helper combines flushLine() with moveDown(1).
pdfkit's text('', false) closes the continued run but does
NOT advance the cursor, so consecutive runs were stacking at
the same y-coordinate. <br>, end-of-block, and list items
now use breakLine().
- ontext collapses runs of whitespace and drops pure-whitespace
text nodes so pretty-printed source HTML doesn't render its
formatting newlines.
Round-trip:
- New backend test: pad text -> DOCX export -> DOCX import ->
new pad. Asserts content survives the trip.
- New PDF sanity test: extracts visible text from the PDF stream
and asserts the source pad text appears verbatim.
- 6 new unit tests for extractBody and wrapLooseLines plus 1 for
PDF walker SKIP_TAGS coverage.

* fix(7538): CodeQL ReDoS + import.ts type error
- BR_PARA_RE was /(?:\s*<br>\s*){2,}/ -- two adjacent \s* runs can
match the same chars, so on '<br>\t<br>\t<br>...' the regex
backtracks exponentially. Re-anchored to match a fixed first <br>
followed by one or more additional <br>s, so each whitespace run
has exactly one home.
- import.ts: fetchBuffer was typed Promise<Buffer> but call sites
chained .expect(200) on it, which only works on supertest's Test
object. Return the Test (typed any) so the chain is preserved.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7538): plugin-aware HTML cleanup, PDF text-align, monospace
ep_headings2/ep_align emit one heading-styled blank-line block after
every styled line in the pad ('<h1 style=text-align:right></h1>'),
which both html-to-docx and our pdfkit walker render as a full empty
paragraph. Plus the pdfkit walker had no support for text-align or
monospace, so right/center alignment and 'code' lines rendered the
same as plain body text.
- New dropEmptyBlocks helper strips empty h1-h6/p/code/pre/div/
blockquote wrappers in preprocessing. Iterates so nested empties
collapse too. Applied before both DOCX and PDF conversion.
- PDF walker now reads style='text-align:left|center|right|justify'
on block elements (h1-6, p, div) and passes it as pdfkit's align
option. align is applied once per continued run, then reset on
flushLine so the next block can pick up its own value.
- PDF walker handles <code>, <tt>, <kbd>, <samp> as inline monospace
(Courier) and <pre> as block monospace (Courier + breakLine on
open/close).
11 new unit tests:
- 4 for dropEmptyBlocks (heading wrappers, code, nesting,
pass-through)
- 1 for PDF text-align (compares the BT matrix x for left vs right)
- 2 for Courier in <code> and <pre>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7538): separate adjacent heading-style blocks on import
Round-trip bug: ep_headings2 emits <h1>/<h2>/<code> in pad HTML.
Mammoth round-trips them as adjacent <h1>A</h1><h2>B</h2><p>C</p>
on import. Etherpad's server-side content collector has a default
_blockElems set of just {div, p, pre, li}, and ep_headings2 only
registers the CLIENT-side aceRegisterBlockElements -- not the
server-side ccRegisterBlockElements. So h1/h2/code end up being
treated as inline by the importer, and adjacent blocks merge into
a single pad line.
Fix: insert <br> after </h1>...</h6>/</code> when followed by
another block. Server-side workaround keeps this PR self-contained
regardless of plugin version. The right long-term fix is to extend
ep_plugin_helpers' lineAttribute factory to register both hooks
(filed as a follow-up).
Tests:
- 5 unit tests for separateAdjacentHeadingBlocks
- New end-to-end round-trip test asserts H1+H2+P land on three
separate pad lines after the import path.
Plus the prior PDF text-align/Courier/code commit also included
here:
- code/tt/kbd/samp inherit text-align from style attribute
- pre inherits text-align too

* fix(7538): blank-line round-trip + DOCX code monospace + a==c tests
DOCX round-trip dropping blank pad lines:
- wrapLooseLines now emits an explicit <p></p> marker for each blank
line in a <br> run, instead of collapsing all gaps into a single
paragraph break. (N consecutive <br>s -> 1 paragraph boundary +
N-2 empty <p></p> markers, mapping to N-1 blank pad lines.)
- mammoth's docxBufferToHtml now passes ignoreEmptyParagraphs:false
so the empty <w:p> entries survive the import side. mammoth's
default of true was silently dropping them.
- dropEmptyBlocks no longer strips <p></p> -- that's the meaningful
marker for the round-trip. Empty <h1>/<code>/<pre>/<div>/
<blockquote> are still stripped (plugin noise).
DOCX <code> rendering as monospace:
- New applyMonospaceToCode wraps code/tt/kbd/samp/pre content in a
<span style="font-family:'Courier New', monospace">. html-to-docx
honors that and emits <w:rFonts w:ascii="Courier New".../>, which
Word renders as Courier. The bare <code> tag is otherwise just
a no-op for html-to-docx.
- Applied only on the DOCX export path (PDF walker already handles
monospace via Courier font selection).
Round-trip tests:
- New a==c suite: txt, etherpad, html, docx -- export from src,
import to dst, re-export and compare against the meaningful
invariant (line text for binary formats; trimmed body for HTML).
- HTML test tolerates one trailing <br> per round-trip because
setPadHTML appends a final <p> on import; this is pre-existing
core behavior, not our bug.
- DOCX test normalizes trailing newline run (same reason).

* fix(7538): preserve <w:jc> alignment through mammoth round-trip
mammoth doesn't expose Word's paragraph alignment (`<w:jc>`) when it
converts a docx to HTML -- there's no equivalent in its style-mapping
machinery. To keep alignment through DOCX round-trips we walk the
docx's document.xml directly, pull the `w:val` from each `<w:p>`'s
`<w:jc>`, and inject `style="text-align:..."` onto the matching
block element in mammoth's output by document order.
Word's w:jc accepts more values than CSS text-align; we map left/
start, center, right/end, both/justify/distribute and skip the rest
(start/end take left/right because we don't track ltr/rtl from the
docx for now).
Combines with the upstream ep_align PR (ether/ep_align#183) for the
full round-trip: this PR makes the mammoth output carry the
alignment style; ep_align#183 makes the importer pick it up.
Closes the alignment side of #7538.

* fix(7538): preserve <a href> inside <code>/<pre> in DOCX export
html-to-docx silently drops <a href> children of <code>/<pre> tags
(and of styled <span>s, but the <code> wrapper is the active offender
here). The pad-export HTML produced by ep_headings2 + ep_align uses
<code style='text-align:right'>...<a href>...</a>...</code> for each
'Code'-style line, which lost its links on every DOCX export.
Workaround: applyMonospaceToCode now drops the code/pre/tt/kbd/samp
wrapper entirely. The non-anchor content gets wrapped in monospace
spans; anchors are emitted unstyled so they keep their hyperlink. For
block-level usage (<pre>, or <code> with an inline style attr) we
emit a wrapping <p> and forward the text-align style. Run BEFORE
wrapLooseLines so the <p> doesn't get double-wrapped.
Tests added:
- inline <code> -> just a styled span (no <code> wrapper)
- <code style='text-align:right'> -> <p style> wrap
- <pre> -> always block-wrapped
- <tt>/<kbd>/<samp> -> inline span only
- regression: <a href> inside <code> survives html-to-docx round-trip
with both the URL in word/_rels/document.xml.rels AND a <w:hyperlink>
in the document body

* fix(7538): HTML import line-break drift between blocks
Etherpad's HTML export wraps each pad line in <p>...</p> (or <h1>,
<code>, etc.) and then appends a <br> between lines. The closing
block tag already ends the line for contentcollector, so the trailing
<br> is redundant -- and on import the server collector counts BOTH
as line breaks, doubling every blank line between paragraphs and
inserting an extra blank between adjacent headings.
Two fixes, both gated on the runtime block-element registry so they
don't double-trigger when the underlying plugin already handles
adjacency:
1. HTML import path now runs the new collapseRedundantBrAfterBlocks
helper before setPadHTML. Drops a single <br> immediately
following </p>/</h1-6>/</code>/</pre>/</div>/</blockquote>/</ul>/
</ol>/</li>/</table>/</tr>/</td>/</th>. Multiple consecutive
<br>s after a block keep all but the first (the rest still
represent intentional blank lines).
2. The DOCX-import separateAdjacentHeadingBlocks workaround now
checks whether 'h1' is in the runtime ccRegisterBlockElements
set before inserting <br>s. When ep_headings2 has the new server
hook (per ep_plugin_helpers#14 + the upcoming ep_headings2 PR),
the workaround correctly stays out of the way -- otherwise it
adds an extra blank line per heading transition.
Also fixed a subtle ts-check failure on the import.ts test changes
and a leftover implicit-any in ImportDocxNative's alignment
preserver.
Tests added:
- collapseRedundantBrAfterBlocks: 5 unit tests (each block tag,
whitespace tolerance, multiple <br> keeping intentional blanks)
- HTML import: 'does not introduce a blank line between H1 and H2',
'preserves blank-line count between H1 and H2 (realistic shape)'
reproduces the 5-blanks-where-2-expected bug from the user's
round-trip pad.
1054 backend tests pass locally (the 6 failures are the pre-existing
favicon/webaccess send@1.x dotfile-path issue from running under
.claude/, doesn't reach CI).

* test(7538): skip plugin-dependent HTML import tests on no-plugin CI
The two new HTML-import-adjacency tests assume ep_headings2 (or
another plugin) has registered h1/h2 as server-side block elements
via ccRegisterBlockElements. Without that, contentcollector treats
<h1>/<h2> as inline and adjacent ones merge into a single pad line
-- making the assertions inapplicable.
CI's backend-tests job runs without plugins installed, so guard
the describe block with a runtime hooks.callAll() check and skip
when h1 isn't a registered block. Local dev with ep_headings2 (and
the local plugin patch wiring ccRegisterBlockElements) still
exercises both tests.

* fix(7696): make settings popup scroll on short viewports
Move max-height + overflow:auto out of the mobile-only media query and
onto the base .popup-content rule so the Settings popup (and other
popups) gain a scrollbar instead of cropping items off-screen when the
window is short. Pad-wide Settings is the worst offender because it
adds a second column of controls plus a Delete pad button.
Adds a Playwright regression test that verifies the popup is scrollable
and the Delete pad button is reachable at a 900x500 viewport.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7696): float nice-select dropdowns above scrollable popups
Qodo flagged that making .popup-content a scroll container clips
absolutely-positioned descendants — so the Settings popup's font and
language dropdowns can be truncated when their list extends past the
popup's scroll bounds on short viewports.
Mirror the existing toolbar workaround: when a nice-select sits inside
.popup-content, switch the list to position:fixed (CSS) and place it
with viewport-relative coordinates from getBoundingClientRect (JS),
respecting the existing reverse class for upward-opening lists.
Also relax the regression test per Qodo: drop the brittle
scrollHeight > clientHeight assertion in favour of asserting the
popup declares overflow-y:auto and proving Delete pad is initially
off-screen, then reachable via scroll.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7696): nice-select reverse list disappeared in scrolled popup
When a nice-select inside a popup-content scroll container sits in the
lower half of the viewport, the JS adds the .reverse class so the list
opens upward. The default .reverse rule sets bottom: calc(100% + 5px),
which is fine when the list is position:absolute relative to its parent
— but with the position:fixed treatment the popup branch uses, that
percentage resolves against the viewport and pushes the list ~100vh
above the screen, so it appears not to open at all until you scroll to
the bottom of the popup (where .reverse no longer triggers).
Override the rule for both .toolbar and .popup so .reverse drops back to
bottom: auto and JS-set `top` controls placement, with a JS belt-and-
braces also setting `bottom: auto` inline.
Adds a Playwright regression test that scrolls the settings popup to
the bottom, opens the Pad-wide font dropdown, and asserts the list is
both visible and inside the viewport.

* feat(padOptions): pass plugin-namespaced ep_* keys through applyPadSettings
Native pad-wide settings ride a single padOptions object: the server seeds
clientVars.initialOptions, the client mutates via pad.changePadOption(), and
the existing padoptions COLLABROOM message broadcasts changes. Plugins can't
use the same rail today because applyPadSettings (client) and
normalizePadSettings (server) silently drop any key not in their hardcoded
whitelist.
Add a passthrough loop that preserves keys matching /^ep_[a-z0-9_]+$/ on both
sides. Plugins can now stash their pad-wide values under their own namespace
(e.g. pad.padOptions.ep_table_of_contents = {enabled: true}) and inherit the
existing broadcast, persistence, creator-only-write enforcement, and
enforceSettings semantics for free.
A new src/node/utils/PluginCapabilities module exposes
padOptionsPluginPassthrough = true so plugins can feature-detect via
require() and fall back to per-user behavior on older cores.

* Address Qodo review on PR #7698
Four concerns raised by Qodo (qodo-free-for-open-source-projects):
1. Feature flag — AGENTS.MD §52 requires new features behind a flag,
disabled by default. Add `enablePluginPadOptions` (default false) gating
the passthrough on both server (normalizePadSettings) and client
(applyPadSettings, via clientVars). Plugins detect the runtime state
through clientVars.enablePluginPadOptions; the static
PluginCapabilities flag stays as the "core can do this" signal.
2. Documentation — add a "Plugin-namespaced pad-wide options" section to
doc/plugins.md covering capability detection, the runtime flag, the
key namespace pattern, and the validation rules. Mirror the flag
description in settings.json.template.
3. Unbounded payload — values for ep_* keys are persisted with the pad and
broadcast to every connected client, so an unvalidated path was a
reliability hazard. Validate every ep_* value:
- Must round-trip through JSON.stringify (rejects functions, symbols,
BigInt, circular refs).
- Per-key serialized size capped at 64 KB.
- Combined ep_* size capped at 256 KB per pad.
Rejects drop the value with a console.warn line; the rest of the pad
settings round-trip cleanly.
4. PadOption type — add `[k: \`ep_${string}\`]: unknown` index signature
so the SocketIO message type matches runtime behavior; TS callers no
longer need unsafe casts to read plugin-namespaced keys.
Also extends the backend test suite with cases covering the runtime flag
(off/on), JSON-serializability rejection, per-key cap, and total cap.

* fix(snap-tests): assert_grep — use here-string to dodge pipefail SIGPIPE
`assert_grep` ran `printf '%s' "$out" | grep -q -F -- "$needle"` under
`set -o pipefail`. When grep matched early it closed its stdin, printf
got SIGPIPE on its next write (exit 141), and pipefail propagated the
broken-pipe failure to the pipeline — making `if` see non-zero and
falling into the FAIL branch even though grep itself succeeded.
Failure was timing-dependent: it only fired when `$out` was large enough
that printf hadn't flushed before grep exited. CI ubuntu-latest tipped
into the racy path on PR #7698 once `settings.json.template` grew by 11
lines (the new `enablePluginPadOptions` flag); the symptom was the
`Wrapper unit tests` step reporting `dbType rewritten to sqlite ✗` with
"got: /*…" output even though the seeded file did contain the needle.
Replace the pipe with a here-string so grep gets its input in one shot
with no pipe between processes — no SIGPIPE possible. The fail-message
`head -3` is converted to a here-string for the same reason.
Repro on a runner whose pipe-buffer flush is slower than grep's first
match would have hit the same flake on any PR; the bug isn't about
this particular template change.

* fix(a11y): localized aria-label + title on export-as links
The six export anchors in the import/export dialog had no aria-label or
title; their accessible name relied on the inner icon span's translated
text (e.g. "Etherpad"). That announces just the format name with no
"export" verb context, and the icon span doubles as the visible glyph
which screen readers also pick up.
Add `data-l10n-id="pad.importExport.export<format>a.title"` to each
anchor — html10n populates both the `title` attribute and `aria-label`
from the same key, so screen readers announce e.g. "Export as Etherpad"
and sighted users get a tooltip. Mark the inner icon span
`aria-hidden="true"` so SR doesn't double-read the format name.
Strengthens the existing `a11y_dialogs.spec.ts` "export links" test to
assert aria-label/title are populated and inner spans are aria-hidden,
and only checks the three formats that are present without soffice.
* Address Qodo review
- Add rel="noopener" to each export anchor: closes the
reverse-tabnabbing window-opener gap. Other target="_blank" links
in pad.html (e.g. the "Powered by Etherpad" link) already follow
this hardening pattern.
- Pin Playwright locale to en-US for the a11y_dialogs spec: this
file already asserts specific English strings (e.g. "Close chat",
"Active users on this pad"); without the pin, translatewiki
updates would break those tests. Tighten the export-anchor
assertions to exact-match the English aria-label/title now that
the locale is stable, and assert rel="noopener" too.
* fix(socialMeta): coerced numeric/boolean override silently dropped
Qodo flagged on PR #7691: Settings.coerceValue() turns numeric-looking env
vars into numbers and "true"/"false" into booleans, so e.g.
SOCIAL_META_DESCRIPTION="2026" arrives at the resolver as the number 2026.
The previous resolver gated on `typeof override === 'string'`, so it
silently fell back to the i18n catalog with no warning — the operator's
docker config would appear broken.
Accept string|number|boolean and stringify before the empty-check; null /
undefined / unsupported types still fall through to the catalog. Two new
unit specs cover the numeric and boolean coercion paths.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(socialMeta): widen description type to match coerced runtime
Action Qodo bug-find: SettingsType.socialMeta.description and
SocialMetaSettings.description still claimed `string | null`, but
Settings.coerceValue() can produce number|boolean from env-var-driven
config — the previous resolver fix was correct at runtime but the type
mismatch forced `as unknown as string` casts in the new tests.
Widen both declared types to `string | number | boolean | null` to match
runtime reality, drop the typeof string|number|boolean guards in the
resolver (the union now narrows automatically) and remove the test casts.
Behaviour is unchanged.

Issue #7599 follow-up from @stffen: the OG description has no obvious
settings.json knob and the i18n catalog default is English, but most
preview crawlers (WhatsApp, Signal, Slack, Telegram, Facebook) don't
send Accept-Language and so always hit the English fallback regardless
of how many locale files translate `pad.social.description`.
Keep the i18n catalog as the default source — translatable strings
belong in locale files, per the original Qodo review on PR #7635 — but
add an explicit `socialMeta.description` setting that wins when set as
a non-empty string, regardless of negotiated language. This is the
lever that fixes the crawler case for non-English instances without
re-introducing per-language config in settings.json (operators who
want that still use customLocaleStrings).
- Empty/whitespace overrides are treated as unset (would otherwise
silently blank the preview).
- Override is HTML-escaped via the same path as every other value.
- og:locale stays language-negotiated; only the description is forced.
- Documented next to publicURL in settings.json.template and
settings.json.docker (env var SOCIAL_META_DESCRIPTION). The
customLocaleStrings example now spells out pad.social.description so
operators discover both routes.
5 new unit specs + 4 new integration specs cover override-wins,
null/missing fallback, blank-treated-as-unset, and HTML-escaping.

* fix(7606): sync theme-color meta with client-side dark-mode switch
PR #7636 emits <meta name="theme-color"> server-side from
settings.skinVariants. That covers operators who hard-code a dark
toolbar in settings.json, but not the runtime path: pad.ts auto-flips
the toolbar to super-dark when enableDarkMode is on, the browser
reports prefers-color-scheme: dark, and no localStorage white-mode
override is set, plus the user can flip it via #options-darkmode.
Both paths run skinVariants.updateSkinVariantsClasses(), which until
now never touched the meta — so dark-mode users kept the light
#ffffff baseline and saw a white address bar above a dark toolbar
(stffen on #7606 after 2.7.3).
Push the toolbar-color lookup into updateSkinVariantsClasses so the
meta tracks every class change: the auto-switch on init, the user
toggle, and the skinVariants builder. Mirrors the CSS-source-order
table from src/node/utils/SkinColors.ts (last matching *-toolbar
token wins). When no meta is present (non-colibris skin, server
omits it) the helper is a no-op.
Adds Playwright coverage for both paths under
colorScheme: 'light' (manual toggle) and 'dark' (auto-switch on
dark-OS clients — the case stffen reported).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(theme-color): action Qodo PR review
(1) Bug — duplicated toolbar→color table: extract the CSS-source-order
mapping and the default-color constant into src/static/js/skin_toolbar_colors,
re-imported by both src/node/utils/SkinColors.ts (server, EJS template
helper) and src/static/js/skin_variants.ts (client, runtime updates). Lives
under static/js so the browser bundle can resolve it; server-side imports
of static/js modules already exist (Changeset, AttributeMap, ImportHtml,
hooks). One source of truth means a future palette change can no longer
silently desync the server-rendered baseline meta from the client updates,
which was the exact regression that brought us here.
(2) Rule violation — 4-space continuation indentation in the new
Playwright spec: re-indent the themeColor helper and the multiline
test(...) call to the repo's 2-space rule (.editorconfig).
Existing backend coverage (configuredToolbarColor unit tests + the
specialpages server-render checks for both pad and timeslider) still
passes against the refactored helper, so it's regression-locked end to
end.

* fix(docker): share corepack cache so etherpad user can resolve pnpm (#7687)
PR #7674 switched the Dockerfile from `npm install -g pnpm` to corepack
and `corepack prepare pnpm@${PnpmVersion} --activate`. The activate step
runs as root and writes its lastKnownGood pin into `$COREPACK_HOME`,
which defaults to `~/.cache/node/corepack` — i.e. a per-user path. The
Dockerfile then drops to `USER etherpad` and later runs
`bin/installLocalPlugins.sh`, which invokes `pnpm` as etherpad. With an
empty per-user corepack cache and no shared activation file, corepack
re-resolves pnpm and (for forks/configs without a `packageManager` pin
matching the activated version) can fall back to "latest" from the
registry — pulling `pnpm@10.33.4` instead of the requested 11.x and
failing the workspace's `engines.pnpm` check.
Pin `COREPACK_HOME=/opt/corepack` and chown it to etherpad after the
prepare step. Both root and etherpad now share the same lastKnownGood
file and tarball cache, so etherpad inherits the activated pnpm without
hitting the registry again.
Verified end-to-end:
- `docker build --target development --build-arg ETHERPAD_LOCAL_PLUGINS=ep_test`
with a stub local plugin runs `installLocalPlugins.sh` cleanly:
`Done in 16.6s using pnpm v11.0.6`.
- `docker run ... pnpm --version` as etherpad reports 11.0.6 from the
shared cache — no "Unsupported environment" error.
Note: corepack still emits a one-time "about to download" line at
runtime because `corepack prepare pnpm@11.0.6` resolves to the highest
matching patch (11.0.8) at build time while the project's
`packageManager` field pins exactly 11.0.6. That's a follow-up — the
download succeeds non-interactively and the engine check passes.
Fixes#7687.

* chore(docker): action Qodo PR review (#7687 follow-up)
- Replace hard-coded /opt/corepack with ${COREPACK_HOME} in mkdir/chown
so the env var stays the single source of truth (Qodo: "COREPACK_HOME
path duplication").
- Add a build-test-local-plugin job to .github/workflows/docker.yml that
builds the development target with a stub ETHERPAD_LOCAL_PLUGINS so
the original failure mode (corepack/pnpm cache invisible across the
USER switch) cannot silently regress (Qodo: "COREPACK_HOME fix lacks
test"). The job is small — `docker build` only, no run — and uses the
shared GHA buildx cache.
Verified: same docker build + `docker run pnpm --version` flow on the
variable form gives identical output (pnpm 11.0.6 from the etherpad-owned
cache).

* feat(settings): enable Pad-wide Settings by default; fix misleading modal title
The creator-owned Pad-wide Settings feature (#7545) shipped behind a flag that
defaulted to false. With the flag off the modal still rendered an H1 of
`pad.settings.padSettings` ("Pad-wide Settings") for *every* user, even though
no pad-wide controls were ever shown. Two readers in different browsers both
saw "Pad-wide Settings" as the modal title, which looked like a creator-gate
regression but was just a copy bug.
Two changes:
1. Flip the default of `enablePadWideSettings` to `true` (Settings.ts plus
both settings templates). With the feature on, the creator (revision-0
author) gets a real "Pad-wide Settings" section gated by
`clientVars.canEditPadSettings`, while every other user sees only "User
Settings" — matching the design intent of #7545. This is a behavior change,
so the settings comments are expanded to describe what the toggle now does.
2. Drop the conditional H1 in `src/templates/pad.html` and always use
`pad.settings.title` ("Settings"). Operators who explicitly disable the
feature shouldn't see a label that lies about a section that isn't
rendered.
Adds backend regression coverage in `tests/backend/specs/socketio.ts`:
- Different browsers (different cookie jars => different authorIDs): only the
first joiner gets `canEditPadSettings: true`.
- Same browser, two tabs (shared HttpOnly token cookie => same authorID):
both connections are the same identity, both correctly land on the creator
path.
* test(settings): regression coverage for the settings modal H1
Asserts the rendered `/p/<id>` HTML always uses
`data-l10n-id="pad.settings.title"` for the modal heading, regardless of
`enablePadWideSettings`. Catches a re-introduction of the old conditional
that printed "Pad-wide Settings" for every user when the feature was off.
Action of Qodo review feedback on PR #7679.
* fix(7686): legacy padOptions.userName/userColor=false breaks pad
Settings.json files generated before December 2021 used `false` as the
default for these two string options (commit 8c857a85a switched the
template default to `null` and noted "this change has no effect due to
a bug in how pad options are processed; that bug will be fixed in a
future commit" — the follow-up never landed). pad.ts:getParams() then
runs `false.toString()`, the resulting string "false" passes the
`!== false` sentinel check at _afterHandshake, and notifyChangeName
ships USERINFO_UPDATE with name="false" and colorId="false" (clobbered
via clientVars.userColor). The server's hex regex rejects the colour
and throws `malformed color: false`; the user sees their name as
"false" and a white swatch.
Defense in depth:
- Server: Settings.ts::reloadSettings() coerces legacy boolean false
to null for padOptions.userName / padOptions.userColor and warns the
operator, matching the existing disableIPlogging shim pattern.
- Client: the pad.ts userName / userColor callbacks reject the
literal "false" string so URL params (?userName=false) and any
other path that surfaces the sentinel as a string are also no-ops.
- Backend regression test mirrors the shim and asserts it normalizes
legacy false, leaves explicit values intact, leaves null untouched,
does not coerce other padOptions keys, and does not coerce the
string "false" (that path is the client guard's responsibility).
Closes#7686

* fix(7686): guard padOptions shim against non-object config (Qodo)
Qodo flagged that storeSettings() will overwrite settings.padOptions
raw with whatever settings.json supplies — including null, primitives,
or arrays — which would make the new userName/userColor shim crash on
property access. Add a shape guard so the shim is a no-op for malformed
padOptions, and extend the regression test to cover null / primitive /
array shapes.
This doesn't change which configs work (Pad.ts also assumes padOptions
is an object and would already crash on a null padOptions when a pad
is opened) but it stops the shim from being the loud thing in the
stack trace if someone hits it.

* chore(docker): clear most CVEs in published image — npm/pnpm/uuid + drop curl
Cuts published-image vulnerabilities from 18 (4H/13M/1L) across 8 packages
to 12 (2H/9M/1L) across 3 packages. The remaining three (curl/libcurl,
git, busybox) are all upstream Alpine 3.23 packages with "not fixed"
status — libcurl is pulled in transitively by git and cannot be
removed independently.
Changes:
- Provision pnpm via corepack instead of `npm install -g pnpm`, then
remove the bundled npm. The base image's npm@10.9.7 ships old
transitives (picomatch 4.0.3 → CVE-2026-33671/33672, brace-expansion
2.0.2 → CVE-2026-33750) that we don't otherwise need at runtime;
corepack handles pnpm directly without npm. Fixes 1H + 1M.
- Bump PnpmVersion 10.28.2 → 10.33.2 to align with the rest of the
workflow and pull in pnpm's patched bundled brace-expansion (5.0.5
vs 5.0.4). Fixes 1M.
- Add `uuid@<14.0.0` → `>=14.0.0` to pnpm.overrides
(GHSA-w5hq-g745-h8pq). Fixes 1M.
- Drop `curl` from the runtime apk add list and switch HEALTHCHECK to
wget (busybox built-in). curl was only invoked by the healthcheck and
by dev/CI scripts that don't run in the container. Removes the curl
CLI binary; libcurl remains as a git transitive dep, so the
`apk/alpine/curl` advisories scout reports against libcurl persist
but aren't reachable from any code we ship. As a side-effect this
also clears nghttp2 (CVE-2026-27135) which was a curl-CLI dep.
- Switch HEALTHCHECK URL from `localhost` to `127.0.0.1` — alpine/musl
resolves localhost to ::1 first and Etherpad only binds IPv4.
Verified locally: docker build → docker run → healthy → docker scout
cves shows 12 CVEs / 3 packages.
* fix(docker): refresh corepack before preparing pnpm (Qodo)
Node 22's bundled corepack ships a stale signing-key list and can reject
newer pnpm releases (nodejs/corepack#612), which would fail the image
build at `corepack prepare`. Mirror the snap/snapcraft.yaml workaround:
`npm install -g corepack@latest` before activating pnpm, in both
adminbuild and build stages. npm is still removed afterwards.

* fix(socketio): don't kick authenticated duplicate-author sessions (#7656)
The CLIENT_READY handler kicks any prior socket whose authorID matches the
joining socket's, originally as a workaround for stale tabs in the same
browser (cookie-derived authorIDs were per-browser, so "same authorID, same
pad" reliably meant "page refresh / second tab in this browser").
With stable identities (basic auth, SSO, apikey, getAuthorId hook) the same
authorID can legitimately appear across windows or devices, so the kick
disconnects real concurrent sessions. Skip the kick when the joining socket
has req.session.user set; cookie-only sessions keep the existing behavior so
the userdup modal and the xxauto_reconnect path still work.
* fix(socketio): suppress USER_LEAVE when other same-author sockets remain
With the duplicate-author kick disabled for authenticated sessions, a single
authorID can legitimately span multiple sockets in one pad. handleDisconnect
was emitting USER_LEAVE on every socket close, which made clients (whose
presence is keyed by authorID) drop the author entirely even when another
socket of theirs was still online.
Only broadcast USER_LEAVE — and only run the userLeave hook — when the
disconnecting socket is the last one in the pad for that author.
Adds two backend tests:
- authenticated identity: closing one of two same-author sockets does NOT
emit USER_LEAVE on the other.
- different authors (regression): closing socket A still emits USER_LEAVE
for socket B.
Action of Qodo review feedback on PR #7678.
* test(ci): stronger diagnostics for silent backend-test exit
PR #7663 added unhandledRejection / uncaughtException handlers in
common.ts. The next failure after merge (run 25279692065 - Windows
without plugins, Node 24) showed mocha exiting with code 1 mid-suite
261ms after the last passing test, with NEITHER handler firing. So
something more drastic is killing the process - SIGKILL, OOM, fatal
native error - or mocha itself called process.exit before the JS
handlers in common.ts could run.
Two issues with the previous attempt:
1. Handlers in common.ts only register when a spec imports common.ts.
Only 27 of 47 specs do. If a non-common spec triggers the death,
handlers may never have been registered.
2. process.stderr.write is asynchronous on Windows when stderr is
piped (which it is under GitHub Actions). On a hard kill the buffered
line never reaches the runner log.
This patch:
- Moves diagnostic handlers to a dedicated tests/backend/diagnostics.ts
loaded via mocha --require, so they register at startup before any
spec runs.
- Uses fs.writeSync(2, ...) for synchronous stderr writes that the
kernel completes before returning - the line lands in the log even
if the process is killed milliseconds later.
- Adds beforeExit / exit / signal handlers so we can discriminate the
exit mechanism: clean drain vs process.exit vs SIGKILL vs signal.
- Tracks last-seen test via mocha root afterEach hook so the death
point is visible in the log.
The next CI failure should print enough context to identify the cause,
after which we can fix the real bug and drop this file.

* fix(diagnostics): exit(1) on uncaughtException so fatal errors fail fast
Qodo flagged on PR #7665: the uncaughtException handler in
tests/backend/diagnostics.ts only logged and returned. Once a handler is
registered, Node no longer exits on its own. Specs that don't import
tests/backend/common.ts (20 of 47) have only this handler — so a fatal
error would have been swallowed and tests would limp along instead of
failing fast.
Mirror common.ts and call process.exit(1) after logging.

Every test in this describe block depends on each user having a
settable, displayable username — clicking a userlist row reads the
user's display name, prefills `@<name>` in the chat input, etc.
ep_disable_change_author_name disables exactly that machinery and
its CI fails the three userlist_click_to_chat cases (#86) for
exactly this reason.
Add the second tag so plugins declaring
`disables: ["@feature:username"]` opt out via the disables contract.

script on click. Validate via URL parsing and allow only http(s) /

* fix(privacy-banner): drop unneeded !important on [hidden] rule
Class+attribute selector already outranks `.privacy-banner { display: flex }`
on specificity (0,2,0 vs 0,1,0), so `!important` was redundant. Adds a
comment explaining why so a future reader doesn't put it back.
Per Sam's review on #7549.
* refactor(privacy-banner): render as a persistent gritter, not custom DOM
Drops the bespoke #privacy-banner template + ~50 lines of popup.css and
delegates to $.gritter.add({sticky: true, position: 'bottom'}). The
notice now matches every other gritter on the pad (theme variables,
shadow, animation, (X) close), sits in the bottom corner instead of
above the editor, and inherits dark-mode handling for free.
The two dismissal modes survive intact:
- dismissible: gritter closes on (X); before_close persists a flag
in localStorage so the notice is suppressed on subsequent loads.
- sticky: closes for the current session only; never persists; the
next pad load shows it again.
learnMoreUrl still goes through the same safeUrl() filter so a
javascript:/data:/vbscript: URL can't smuggle a script handler into the
anchor (Qodo's review concern remains addressed).
Tests: src/tests/frontend-new/specs/privacy_banner.spec.ts now drives
the real showPrivacyBannerIfEnabled via a __etherpad_privacyBanner__
test hook and asserts against the rendered gritter, instead of the
previous tests that mutated DOM by hand and never exercised the
function under test. Coverage adds: enabled=false short-circuit,
dismissible-flag-respected on subsequent show, sticky-ignores-flag,
sticky-close-does-not-persist, javascript: rejection, data: rejection,
and mailto: allow-list.

* fix(privacy-banner): noreferrer + validate dismissal (Qodo)
Two follow-ups from Qodo's review on #7549:
1. The Learn-more link now sets `rel="noreferrer noopener"` (was just
`noopener`). Without `noreferrer` the browser sends the pad URL as a
Referer to the operator-configured external policy site, which leaks
pad identifiers to a third party. Matches the rel pattern already
used by pad_utils.ts.
2. `privacyBanner.dismissal` is now validated in reloadSettings(): an
unknown value falls back to 'dismissible' with a `logger.warn`, in
the same shape as the existing ipLogging validation a few lines up.
The client also guards defensively (treats anything other than the
exact string 'sticky' as 'dismissible') so that hot-reload paths
that skip the server validator can't silently degrade a typo'd
'sticky' into "no close button persisted, no localStorage suppression".
Test added: spec asserts the rel attribute, and a new test exercises
the dismissal fallback (sets dismissal:'wat', asserts the gritter is
shown, the (X) closes it, and the dismissal flag is persisted — i.e.
the unknown value is treated like 'dismissible').

* fix(privacy-banner): gate test hook on webdriver, align doc with sticky behavior
Two follow-ups from Qodo's second review on #7549.
Rule violation: __etherpad_privacyBanner__ was published on every pad
load even when privacyBanner.enabled was false, so the disabled-by-
default feature still added an observable global. Gate the assignment
on `navigator.webdriver` — Playwright/ChromeDriver/Selenium set this
to true; production browsers do not — so the hook is only present for
tests and the disabled path is genuinely zero-side-effect.
Bug 3 (sticky still closable): doc/privacy.md previously claimed
`dismissal: "sticky"` removes the close button, but the gritter
implementation always renders (X). Aligning the doc with reality —
sticky now means "shows on every load, but closable for the session"
— rather than adding bespoke CSS to a vanilla gritter (matches the
"don't style it differently than other gritter messages" preference
that drove the gritter migration in 906e145).

* fix(privacy-banner): allow-list keys before sending to clientVars (Qodo)
storeSettings() merges nested objects with _.defaults() and preserves
unknown nested keys, and TypeScript's Pick<> doesn't strip at runtime.
The previous wire path forwarded settings.privacyBanner by reference
into both clientVars and getPublicSettings(), so any extra keys an
operator typed (or pasted) under privacyBanner — credentials, internal
notes, anything — would have shipped to every browser on every pad
load.
Adds getPublicPrivacyBanner() in Settings.ts that returns a literal
with only {enabled, title, body, learnMoreUrl, dismissal}, and uses it
from both leak sites (PadMessageHandler.ts clientVars and
getPublicSettings()). Single source of truth for the wire shape.

Backend tests on develop have a ~22% silent failure rate (mostly Windows,
sometimes Linux) where mocha exits with code 1 mid-suite, producing no
test failure marker, no error, and no Mocha summary. Different exit
points each run.
Root cause discovery is blocked by src/tests/backend/common.ts:33, which
rethrows unhandled Promise rejections as uncaught exceptions but never
logs the reason first. When the rethrow happens between specs, mocha
exits with code 1 and the original rejection is lost - especially on
Windows, where stderr is not always flushed before abrupt exit.
This patch is purely diagnostic: it writes the reason (or stack) to
stderr before rethrowing, and adds a matching uncaughtException handler
for the same purpose. Behavior on success is unchanged. The next CI
failure will surface what is actually rejecting (DirtyDB write?
plugin lifecycle? socket cleanup?), so we can fix the real cause.

Every assertion in this describe block measures the author span's
background-color against its computed text colour. Plugins that
disable author background colouring entirely — e.g. ep_author_neat2,
which renders authorship as coloured underlines instead — can't
satisfy the WCAG bg/text contrast invariant because there's no
background to measure (transparent vs. transparent yields no ratio).
Tag the describe block so plugins declaring
`disables: ["@feature:authorship-bg-color"]` opt out of pass 1
through the disables contract, the same way change_user_color.spec.ts
already does.
Unblocks ep_author_neat2 CI (its current main run fails on three
wcag_author_color tests).

* test: tag rtl_url_param toggle-off specs with @feature:rtl-toggle
The two cases that require RTL to be flippable away from the
plugin-forced default — `?rtl=false` overriding a prior `?rtl=true`
and a no-param reload falling back to the cookie — are exactly what
ep_right_to_left intentionally disables. Tag them so the plugin can
declare `disables: ["@feature:rtl-toggle"]` and pass the disables
contract's honesty check.
Also list the new tag (and the previously omitted @feature:line-numbers)
in doc/PLUGIN_FEATURE_DISABLES.md.

* test: also tag chat title-bar layout spec with @feature:rtl-toggle
The leftGap/rightGap symmetry assertion in this test is LTR-only:
colibris ships a one-sided #titlebar padding rule (the existing
asymmetric pad is fine in LTR because the buttons are on the right
where the larger pad sits) that throws gaps apart by ~170px when
body[dir=rtl] reverses the flex item order.
Without a fix to colibris's chat header padding (out of scope here),
plugins that force RTL on can't pass this assertion. Add the second
tag so they can declare the disable instead of false-failing it.

Qodo review:
- Timeslider still ran the pre-PR3 JS-cookie path: it read
Cookies.get('${cp}token') (which HttpOnly hides), then generated a
fresh plaintext token and overwrote the server's HttpOnly cookie with
it, and sent token in every socket message. Strip the token read/
write entirely from timeslider.ts and from the outgoing message
shape; the server reads the cookie off the socket.io handshake just
like on /p/:pad.
- tokenTransfer re-issued the author cookie without HttpOnly, undoing
the hardening the first time a user transferred a session. Re-set
it as HttpOnly + Secure (on HTTPS) + SameSite=Lax. Also stop
trusting the body-supplied token on POST: read it off req.cookies
server-side so the client never needs JS access to the token.

* feat(colors): clamp author backgrounds to WCAG 2.1 AA on render
Fixes#7377.
Authors can pick any color via the color picker, so a user who chooses
a dark red ends up with black text rendered on a background that fails
WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1) — unreadable, but there is no way for *viewers* to
remediate since they cannot change another author's color. Screenshot
in the issue shows exactly this.
This PR lands a viewer-side clamp. For each author background, if
neither black nor white text would satisfy the target contrast ratio,
the bg is iteratively blended toward white until black text does. The
author's stored color is untouched — turning off the new
padOptions.enforceReadableAuthorColors flag restores the raw colors
immediately.
New helpers in src/static/js/colorutils.ts:
- relativeLuminance(triple) — WCAG 2.1 relative-luminance formula
- contrastRatio(c1, c2) — in [1, 21]; >=4.5 = AA, >=7.0 = AAA
- ensureReadableBackground(hex, minContrast = 4.5)
— returns a hex that meets minContrast
against black text, preserving hue
Wire-up:
- src/static/js/ace2_inner.ts (setAuthorStyle): pass bgcolor through
ensureReadableBackground before picking text color. Gated on
padOptions.enforceReadableAuthorColors (default true). Guarded by
colorutils.isCssHex so the few non-hex values (CSS vars, etc.) skip
the clamp and pass through unchanged.
- Settings.ts / settings.json.template / settings.json.docker: new
padOptions.enforceReadableAuthorColors flag, default true, with a
matching PAD_OPTIONS_ENFORCE_READABLE_AUTHOR_COLORS env var in the
docker template.
- doc/docker.md: env-var row.
- src/tests/backend/specs/colorutils.ts: new unit coverage for the
three new helpers, including the exact #cc0000 failure case from
the issue screenshot.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(7377): simplify — just pick higher-contrast text, drop bg clamp
First iteration added an iterative bg-lightening helper
(ensureReadableBackground) gated by a new padOptions flag. CI caught the
correct simpler framing: because WCAG contrast is symmetric in [1, 21],
at least one of black/white always clears AA (4.5:1) for any sRGB
colour. The real bug was that the pre-fix textColorFromBackgroundColor
used a plain-luminosity cutoff (< 0.5 → white), which produced
sub-AA combinations like white-on-red (#ff0000) at 4.0:1.
Reduce the PR to the minimal surface:
- colorutils.textColorFromBackgroundColor now picks whichever of
black/white has the higher WCAG contrast ratio against the bg.
- colorutils.relativeLuminance and colorutils.contrastRatio are kept
as reusable building blocks; ensureReadableBackground is dropped
(no caller needed it once text selection was fixed).
- ace2_inner.ts setAuthorStyle no longer needs the opt-in flag or the
isCssHex guard — the helper handles every input its caller already
passes.
- padOptions.enforceReadableAuthorColors setting reverted along with
settings.json.template, settings.json.docker, and doc/docker.md.
- Tests replaced: instead of asserting the bg gets lightened, assert
that the chosen text colour clears AA for every primary. Covers the
exact #ff0000 failure case from the issue screenshot.

* test(7377): assert relative-contrast invariant, not absolute AA
Pure primaries like #ff0000 cannot clear WCAG AA (4.5:1) against either
#222 or #fff — the best either can do is ~4.0:1. No text-colour choice
alone fixes that; bg clamping would be a separate concern. The test
should therefore verify the *real* invariant: the chosen text colour
must produce the higher contrast of the two options, regardless of
whether that contrast clears any absolute threshold.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7377): compare against rendered #222/#fff, not pure black/white
First cut of textColorFromBackgroundColor computed contrast against
pure black (L=0) and pure white (L=1), then returned the concrete
#222/#fff the pad actually renders with. For some mid-saturation
backgrounds the two comparisons disagreed — e.g. #ff0000:
vs pure black = 5.25 → pick black → render #222 → actual 3.98
vs pure white = 4.00 → would-render #fff → actual 4.00
The helper picked the wrong option because it compared against the
wrong target. Compare against the actual rendered colours so the
returned text colour is genuinely the higher-contrast choice.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(7377): pick unambiguous colibris test bgs
#ff0000 lives right at the boundary for the two text choices (4.00 vs
3.98), so the test for colibris-skin mapping was entangled with the
border-case selector pick. Use #ffeedd (clearly light → dark text
wins) and #111111 (clearly dark → light text wins) so the test
isolates the skin mapping from the tie-breaking logic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(7377): use rendered text colour + clamp bg to actually meet AA
Local repro of the issue exposed two real bugs in the previous fix:
1. textColorFromBackgroundColor compared bg against a hardcoded #222 —
but in the colibris skin --super-dark-color resolves to #485365.
For the issue's exact case (#9AB3FA author bg) the selector returned
var(--super-dark-color) thinking it was getting a 7.7:1 ratio, while
the browser actually rendered 3.78:1 — identical to what the issue
screenshot reported. This PR's previous behaviour on the issue's
inputs was unchanged from the pre-fix.
2. For mid-saturation pastels (#9AB3FA) and pure primaries (#ff0000)
neither rendered dark nor white text can clear AA. Text-colour
selection alone genuinely cannot fix this band; the ensureReadable
bg clamp dropped in ce0c5c283 was load-bearing.
Changes:
- colorutils.ts: per-skin SKIN_TEXT_COLORS table with darkRef/lightRef
matching what the browser actually paints (colibris #485365,
default #222). Re-introduces ensureReadableBackground, but skin-aware
and symmetric — blends bg toward white or black depending on which
text colour wins, so it works for both light and dark backgrounds.
- ace2_inner.ts: setAuthorStyle runs the bg through the clamp before
picking text colour. Gated on padOptions.enforceReadableAuthorColors
(default true).
- Settings.ts / settings.json.template / settings.json.docker /
doc/docker.md: padOption + PAD_OPTIONS_ENFORCE_READABLE_AUTHOR_COLORS
env var.
- tests: failing-then-green coverage for the issue's exact case
(#9AB3FA + colibris), the previously-impossible #ff0000, the
no-mutation case, non-hex pass-through, and a sweep over primaries.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(7377): add e2e DOM-contrast spec + extra unit cases
The previous coverage was unit-only, which is what let the original wrong-
reference-colour bug ship — the algorithm tests were green but nothing
exercised what the browser actually paints. New coverage:
Playwright (src/tests/frontend-new/specs/wcag_author_color.spec.ts):
- Sets the user's colour to the issue's exact #9AB3FA, types text, reads
the rendered author span's computed bg + colour from the inner frame,
and asserts the WCAG ratio between the two is >= 4.5. Repeated for
#ff0000 (the other historically-failing case).
- Asserts #ffeedd (already AA-friendly) is rendered unchanged — guards
against the clamp mutating colours that don't need it.
Backend additions (src/tests/backend/specs/colorutils.ts):
- Symmetric-clamp test: dark mid-saturation bg where light text wins, the
clamp must darken (not lighten). Direction check via relativeLuminance.
- minContrast parameter: AAA (7.0) must produce more clamping than AA.
- Output shape: result must be a parseable hex string (round-trip safe).
- Short-hex (#abc) input is accepted and normalised.

* feat(userlist): click a user to open chat with @<name> prefilled
Newcomers to a multi-user pad regularly fail to discover the chat
panel and the @-mention convention. Make the user list itself the
discovery affordance: clicking another user's row opens chat (if
hidden) and prefills the input with "@<their_name> ", ready to send.
The skin gets a small visual cue — pointer cursor on .usertdname and
an underline on hover — so the affordance is visible without
requiring a redesign. The color swatch keeps its own click semantics
(color picker), so the swatch cell is excluded from the new handler.
To let bot/AI plugins substitute their trigger string for an
otherwise-useless @-mention of the bot's display name (e.g.
"@AI Assistant" → "@ai"), this adds a new client-side hook,
chatPrefillFromUser, that takes {authorId, name, prefill} and lets
the first plugin to return a non-empty string override the default
prefill. Documented in doc/api/hooks_client-side.md alongside
chatSendMessage.
Plugin errors in the hook are caught — a misbehaving plugin can't
break the click. If chat is hidden by pad settings, chat.show() is
a no-op and the click effectively does nothing, which matches the
existing behavior of "no chat means no chat-related affordances".
The new prefill never clobbers a real partial message in the input;
if the user was mid-typing something, the @-mention is appended
rather than replacing.
* fix(userlist): don't steal rename focus + add Playwright coverage
Two follow-ups on review of the click-to-chat handler:
1. Bug (Qodo, correctness): clicking the rename <input> on an unnamed
user's row triggered the new row handler, which then focused
#chatinput and made it impossible to name unnamed users from the
user list. Add an early-return that skips form controls inside
the row (input/textarea/select/button/a/[contenteditable=true]).
The swatch was already excluded; this widens the same idea to
anything that's interactive on its own merits.
2. Test coverage: add a frontend Playwright spec
(userlist_click_to_chat.spec.ts) covering the supported flows
and the new regression:
- clicking another named user opens chat and prefills "@<name> "
- clicking the swatch opens color picker, not chat
- clicking the rename <input> on an unnamed user keeps focus
on the input (regression test for the bug above)
- partial chat message is preserved when prefilling
* test: stabilise the partial-message preservation case
The 'partial message in chat input is preserved when prefilling'
case was flaking on CI. Three small changes:
- Seed the chat input with fill() rather than click() + keyboard.type().
Earlier the test was racing chat.focus()'s own setTimeout(100) — when
the keyboard.type started before that timer fired, the typing landed
in whatever element had focus at the time, which wasn't always the
chat input. fill() bypasses focus state entirely.
- Wait for the chat box to be visible before filling, so we don't race
the chaticon click handler.
- Replace the two sequential expect/wait pairs after the daveRow click
with one waitForFunction that asserts both 'hi there' and '@Dave' are
in the input together. The prefill is async (setTimeout(50) inside
the click handler), so a combined wait is more reliable than checking
one piece, then snapshotting and asserting the other.
The other three cases in this file passed unchanged on CI; only this
fourth one was racy.
* fix: don't commit local .claude worktrees / var state
These were accidentally added in ffe947706 by an over-broad git add -A.
Both paths are workspace-local and unrelated to this PR.
Adds a new pad option `fadeInactiveAuthorColors` (default `true`) that controls whether each author's caret/background fades toward white as they go inactive. Configurable server-side (`settings.json` / `PAD_OPTIONS_FADE_INACTIVE_AUTHOR_COLORS`), per-pad in the Pad Settings panel, per-user in the My View panel, or via `?fadeInactiveAuthorColors=false`.
Disabling the fade is useful on busy pads where every faded author visually counts as a second on-screen color (a 30-author pad becomes a 60-color pad), or when inactivity tracking is undesirable for whatever reason.
Closes#7138.
Surfaced by ep_hide_line_numbers' red main. Two pad_settings specs
use `expect(...).not.toHaveClass(/line-numbers-hidden/)` to verify
the line-number gutter is visible by default before settings flip
it on, but plugins that hide line numbers (ep_hide_line_numbers
sets `pad.changeViewOption('showLineNumbers', false)` in postAceInit)
keep that class on the body for the entire pad lifetime.
Tag the two affected specs with @feature:line-numbers so plugins
that hide line numbers can declare `disables: ["@feature:line-numbers"]`
in ep.json and have these excluded from pass-1 regression while
still failing pass-2 honesty (plugin must actually keep them hidden).
Companion to the existing tag set (@feature:chat, @feature:username,
@feature:clear-authorship, @feature:error-gritter,
@feature:authorship-bg-color). See doc/PLUGIN_FEATURE_DISABLES.md.

Plugins like ep_author_neat2 swap Etherpad's coloured-background
authorship indicator for an underline. Their README is explicit
about this; their main is red on the disables-aware test runner
because change_user_color.spec.ts:59 hard-asserts the chat <p>'s
background-color matches the user's colour, which a non-background
rendering legitimately won't satisfy.
Add a second tag (@feature:authorship-bg-color) alongside the
existing @feature:chat so plugins that swap rendering can declare
"disables": ["@feature:authorship-bg-color"] and have this single
spec excluded from pass-1 regression while still running pass-2
honesty (the bg-color assertion fails under the plugin → contract
honoured).
Multi-tag: ep_disable_chat keeps excluding it via @feature:chat;
ep_author_neat2 excludes it via @feature:authorship-bg-color.

* feat(packaging): publish Etherpad as a Snap
Adds first-class Snap packaging so Ubuntu / snapd users can install via
`sudo snap install etherpad-lite`.
- snap/snapcraft.yaml — core24, strict confinement, builds with pnpm
against a pinned Node.js 22 runtime. Version is auto-derived from
src/package.json so `snap info` tracks upstream release numbering.
- snap/local/bin/etherpad-service — launch wrapper that seeds
$SNAP_COMMON/etc/settings.json on first run (rewriting the default
dirty-DB path to a writable $SNAP_COMMON location) and execs Etherpad
via `node --import tsx/esm`.
- snap/local/bin/etherpad-healthcheck-wrapper — HTTP probe for external
supervisors, falling back to Node if curl isn't staged.
- snap/local/bin/etherpad-cli — thin passthrough to Etherpad's bin/
scripts (importSqlFile, checkPad, etc.).
- snap/hooks/configure — exposes `snap set etherpad-lite port=<n>` and
`ip=<addr>` with validation, restarts the service when running.
- snap/README.md — build / install / configure / publish instructions.
- .github/workflows/snap-publish.yml — builds on every v* tag, uploads
a short-lived artifact, publishes to `edge`, and then promotes to
`stable` through a manually-approved GitHub Environment. Requires a
one-time `snapcraft register etherpad-lite` plus provisioning of the
`SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS` repo secret (instructions inline).
Pad data (dirty DB, logs) lives in /var/snap/etherpad-lite/common/ and
survives snap refreshes. The read-only $SNAP squashfs is never written
to at runtime.

* fix(snap): pass --settings flag, env-subst ip/port, 2-space indent
Addresses Qodo review feedback on #7558:
1. Settings file ignored: Etherpad's Settings loader reads `argv.settings`,
not the `EP_SETTINGS` env var. Without `--settings`, the launcher's
seeded $SNAP_COMMON/etc/settings.json is never loaded; Etherpad falls
back to <install-root>/settings.json, which lives on the read-only
squashfs — so the default dirty-DB path ends up unwritable and the
daemon fails to persist pads. Fix: pass `--settings "${SETTINGS}"` to
node; drop the EP_SETTINGS export.
2. `snap set` overrides were no-ops: the seeded settings.json carries the
template's literal `"ip": "0.0.0.0"` / `"port": 9001` values, which
override the env-based defaults Etherpad exposes via ${…}
substitution. Users following the README saw the listener stay put
after `snap set etherpad-lite port=…`. Fix: after copying the
template on first run, rewrite the top-level `ip` and `port` lines
to `"${IP:0.0.0.0}"` / `"${PORT:9001}"`. Use `0,/…/` anchors so the
`dbSettings.port` entry further down stays literal.
3. Indentation: reflow the new shell scripts from 4-space to 2-space to
match the repo style rule.

* fix(snap): default seeded settings to sqlite, not dirty
settings.json.template's own comment says dirty is for testing only.
A Snap install is the "not testing" case — shipping it by default
means every `sudo snap install etherpad-lite` starts on a DB the
project explicitly recommends against.
Rewrite the postinstall sed to switch dbType: "dirty" → "sqlite" and
point filename at $SNAP_COMMON/var/etherpad.db. sqlite is already
shipped in-tree via ueberdb2 → rusty-store-kv (prebuilt napi-rs
binary, no build deps), so this works under strict confinement with
zero snap.yaml changes.
Only affects first-run seeding; existing $SNAP_COMMON/etc/settings.json
is never touched on refresh.

* fix(snap): rename to "etherpad", glob tag filter, harden cli
- Snap is registered as `etherpad` (the project's only name) — drops the
legacy `etherpad-lite` from the name, app, paths, install dir, configure
hook, README and workflow artifact. The daemon app shares the snap name,
so `snap install etherpad` exposes a bare `etherpad` command; the bin/
passthrough is now `etherpad.cli`.
- snap-publish.yml: GitHub Actions tag filters use globs, not regex. The
prior `v?[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+` pattern would never match a real release
tag (Qodo review). Replace with two glob entries covering `vX.Y.Z` and
`X.Y.Z`.
- etherpad-cli: reject path-traversal in the `<bin-script>` arg (anything
containing `/`, `..`, or empty) and add a default `*)` case so files
with unsupported extensions fail loud instead of silently exiting 0
(Qodo review).

* fix(snap): unbreak build — refresh corepack, drop pnpm prune
Two issues hit on the first real `snapcraft pack` of this recipe:
- `corepack prepare pnpm@10.33.0 --activate` failed with
`Cannot find matching keyid` because Node 22.12's bundled corepack
ships a stale signing-key list and rejects newer pnpm releases
(nodejs/corepack#612). Refresh corepack itself via npm before
preparing pnpm.
- `pnpm prune --prod` is interactive on workspace projects: it asks
"The modules directories will be removed and reinstalled from
scratch. Proceed? (Y/n)" and deadlocks on stdin under sudo + tee.
Replace it with the explicit "wipe node_modules + prod reinstall"
pattern, which is non-interactive, faster (pnpm resolves the prod
graph from its CAS cache), and byte-identical in result.
Verified locally: `snapcraft pack --destructive-mode` produces
`etherpad_2.6.1_amd64.snap` end-to-end in ~3 min.

* fix(snap): unbreak runtime — tsx resolution, var/ writability, env
Three runtime crashes surfaced when actually installing the built snap
under strict confinement. Fixed each, plus a smoke-test script.
- `tsx` is in the `src` workspace's node_modules under pnpm hoisting,
not at the snap install root. The wrapper now `cd "${APP_DIR}/src"`
and uses bare `--import tsx` (matching `bin/cleanRun.sh`); the prior
`--import tsx/esm` triggered ERR_REQUIRE_CYCLE on Etherpad's mixed
CJS/ESM source tree.
- Etherpad's plugin installer writes `var/installed_plugins.json` via
__dirname-relative paths, which resolve to absolute paths inside the
read-only snap squashfs (EROFS). snap layouts can't intercept paths
inside `$SNAP`, so replace the shipped `var/` dir with a symlink to
`/var/snap/etherpad/common/etherpad-app-var/` (auto-created by the
wrapper on first run). Persistent state survives `snap refresh`.
- Drop the unused `EP_SETTINGS` and `EP_DATA_DIR` env vars from the
app's `environment:` block. Etherpad's settings loader doesn't read
them — it reads `argv.settings`, which the wrapper already passes via
`--settings`. They were producing `[WARN] settings - Unknown Setting`
noise on every start.
Add `snap/tests/smoke.sh`: rebuild + install + configure test port 9003
+ assert listener + curl /health + tail logs. Local verified output:
HTTP 200, body {"status":"pass","releaseId":"2.6.1"}, server logs
`Etherpad is running` on `http://0.0.0.0:9003/`.
.gitignore now excludes destructive-mode build outputs (parts/, stage/,
prime/, .craft/, *.snap).

* test(snap): wrapper unit tests, PR CI build, expanded docs
Coverage in snap/tests/ (47 assertions, ~5s, no snapd/sudo/network):
- test-snapcraft-yaml.sh: required keys, name validity, daemon-app
matches snap name, no etherpad-lite regression, env-var whitelist.
- test-cli.sh: path-traversal rejection, .ts/.sh dispatch, default-case
rejection, no-args usage.
- test-configure.sh: port (1-65535) and ip (v4/v6) validation via
mocked snapctl.
- test-service-bootstrap.sh: first-run seeding from
settings.json.template, sed rewrite of dbType/filename/ip/port,
writable-dir creation, snapctl override propagation to node env,
idempotency on second run, default fallbacks.
- run-all.sh: bash -n syntax check on every wrapper + hook, then
sources each test file and reports totals. All assertions use port
9003 (project test convention).
CI in .github/workflows/snap-build.yml:
- Triggers on PR / push-to-develop touching snap/, settings.json.template,
or the workflow itself.
- Job 1 wrapper-tests: runs run-all.sh.
- Job 2 snap-pack: snapcraft pack --destructive-mode, uploads .snap as
PR artifact for sideload.
- Stays separate from snap-publish.yml (tag-triggered, store-bound).
snap/README.md fully rewritten:
- User-facing usage, install, configure
- Architecture: file layout, var/-symlink rationale, settings.json
rewrite rationale, double-pnpm-install rationale, daemon-name-shares-
snap-name rationale
- Three test layers with exactly when/why to run each
- Dev workflow loop
- Publishing maintainer setup
- Troubleshooting for every failure mode hit during this PR (EROFS,
tsx not found, ERR_REQUIRE_CYCLE, snap-store-down, pnpm prune hang)

- Register a snap (to claim the name)
- snapcraft export-login (to generate the SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS

Surfaced by ep_disable_chat#75 — the disables-aware test runner ran
pass 1 (regression) and these two tests failed because they click
label[for="options-disablechat"], which ep_disable_chat hides as
intended. Tagging them brings them into pass 2 (honesty) where
they're expected to fail under the plugin, instead of pass 1 where
they shouldn't run.

Replace the hardcoded "Disables:" label and the inline title attribute
with proper i18n keys (admin_plugins.disables.label,
admin_plugins.disables.warning_title) and add role="alert" so screen
readers announce the warning instead of treating it as visual noise.
Per user review on #7649: "we should display it as a warning only if
a plugin disables a test... Also i18n!!! Always remember to do i18n."

ep_disable_chat#75 ran with `disables: ["@feature:chat"]` declared in
ep.json but the helper printed "No 'disables' declared — running
standard test suite" and exec'd a vanilla `playwright test`, with
@feature:chat-tagged tests running anyway and timing out one by one.
Root cause: the auto-detect used `find -maxdepth 3 plugin_packages/
-name ep.json -not -path '*/.versions/*'`. Live-plugin-manager
installs plugins under `plugin_packages/.versions/<name>@<ver>/`
and exposes them as symlinks at `plugin_packages/ep_<name>`. find(1)
doesn't follow symlinks by default, so:
- the .versions/ ep.json was excluded by -not -path
- the symlink at plugin_packages/ep_<name> was visited but find
didn't recurse into it because it's a symlink, not a real dir
=> 0 candidates found, helper falls through to standard mode.
Switch to a shell glob with `-f` membership tests, which resolve
symlinks correctly. Verified against a synthetic install: the helper
now finds the disables list and prints "Plugin disables: @feature:chat"
before running pass 1.

Pass 2 was running every test tagged with a disabled feature to
completion. For a busy tag like @feature:chat (12 tests) with the
default 90s per-test timeout, that's 10+ minutes of expected failures
piling up — ep_disable_chat's first PR #75 ran 14+ min before being
cancelled.
Pass 2 only needs *evidence* the feature is gone — one failing tagged
test is enough. Add:
--max-failures=1 stop on the first failure (~30s vs ~10min)
--timeout=30000 cap any single test at 30s
--retries=0 already there, but flagged: CI retry default
(up to 5 with WITH_PLUGINS=1) would retry an
"expected failure" multiple times.
Worst case (first tagged test happens to pass): we wait for the
second one to fail, ~60s. Still bounded.

Companion to ether/ether.github.com#395 — the admin UI's "available
plugins" listing now also renders the plugin's declared `disables`
(see doc/PLUGIN_FEATURE_DISABLES.md) so an operator about to click
Install sees the same warning as a user browsing etherpad.org/plugins:
"Disables: chat".
- src/node/types/PackageInfo.ts: optional `disables?: string[]` on
the registry payload type.
- admin/src/pages/Plugin.ts: same on the admin-side PluginDef.
- admin/src/pages/HomePage.tsx: render an amber callout under the
description when `disables` is present and non-empty. Plugins
without a disables field render unchanged.
The plugin-registry build pipeline still has to start surfacing
`disables` from ep.json into plugins.json/plugins.viewer.json — until
that lands, the new callout no-ops everywhere, which is fine.

Plugins that intentionally remove a baseline Etherpad feature
(ep_disable_chat, ep_disable_change_author_name, ep_disable_error_messages,
ep_disable_reset_authorship_colours) currently break core tests for the
removed feature. Their main branches are red, their auto-publish gates
never fire, and Dependabot PRs pile up.
The temptation is to give these plugins an "opt-out of these tests"
flag — but that's a self-serving attestation: a plugin can claim "I
just disable chat, ignore those tests" and quietly break unrelated
functionality on the user's install. etherpad.org/plugins would still
show it green.
This commit introduces a small declared-disables contract that closes
that gap:
1. Core specs grow @feature:* Playwright tags. Initial set:
@feature:chat, @feature:username, @feature:clear-authorship,
@feature:error-gritter. Tags are added test-by-test where the
test exercises a single feature, so the contract stays precise.
2. Plugins declare which feature tags they disable in their ep.json:
{ "name": "ep_disable_chat", "disables": ["@feature:chat"], ... }
3. bin/run-frontend-tests-with-disables.sh enforces the contract via
two passes:
- Pass 1 (regression): every test NOT in the disabled list must
pass. Catches plugins that break things they don't claim to.
- Pass 2 (honesty): every test that IS in the disabled list
must FAIL. Catches plugins that lie about disabling features
they don't actually disable, and stops them from grep-inverting
arbitrary unrelated tests.
4. doc/PLUGIN_FEATURE_DISABLES.md walks the design and migration.
The disables list is in ep.json (publicly visible), so etherpad.org/plugins
can surface "this plugin disables: chat" alongside the green CI badge —
users see what they're losing before they install.

* fix(plugins): updatePlugins.sh actually updates installed plugins (#6670)
bin/updatePlugins.sh detected outdated plugins by running
`pnpm --filter ep_etherpad-lite outdated --depth=0`, but installed
plugins are not registered in src/package.json — bin/plugins.ts adds
them via linkInstaller.installPlugin which writes to
src/plugin_packages/.versions/<name>@<version>/ and tracks the result
in var/installed_plugins.json. pnpm has no view of them, so `outdated`
returns empty and the script always reported "All plugins are
up-to-date" even when newer versions existed on the registry. PR #7468
fixed npm→pnpm and install→update but kept the same broken detection
mechanism, which is why the issue stayed open after that PR landed.
Read the plugin list from var/installed_plugins.json instead, then
re-invoke linkInstaller.installPlugin(name) for each entry. Calling
the installer without a version pin resolves the registry-latest and
overwrites the existing pinned copy, so an outdated plugin is brought
to head while plugins already at latest are no-ops apart from the
pnpm cache hit.
Add an `update`/`up` action to bin/plugins.ts so users can also run
`pnpm run plugins update` directly, mirroring the existing
install/remove/list actions. updatePlugins.sh becomes a one-line
wrapper for backwards compatibility.
Reproduction (verified):
pnpm run install-plugins ep_markdown@11.0.5 # latest is 11.0.18
./bin/updatePlugins.sh # → 11.0.18
Edge cases tested: no plugins installed, missing installed_plugins.json,
already-at-latest re-run.
Closes#6670.

* fix(plugins): validate ep_ prefix and dedupe + add regression test
Qodo flagged two issues on the original update() addition:
1. Security — update() trusted every name in var/installed_plugins.json,
so a corrupted or hand-edited manifest could coerce the script into
installing arbitrary npm packages. pluginfw/plugins.getPackages
already gates on the ep_ prefix; mirror that gate here.
2. Reliability — no automated regression test, so a future refactor
could silently bring back the broken behaviour.
Extract the safe-name filter to filterUpdatablePluginNames in
bin/commonPlugins.ts (pure, side-effect-free, prefix configurable, also
de-duplicates repeats so a duplicated entry installs once). Use it from
plugins.ts update().
Add src/tests/backend/specs/filterUpdatablePluginNames.ts covering: keep
prefixed names, drop ep_etherpad-lite, reject non-prefixed entries,
de-dupe repeats, tolerate missing/null/non-string name fields, empty
input, custom prefix.
Manually verified end-to-end on a live install: an
installed_plugins.json containing ep_markdown@11.0.5, a duplicate
ep_markdown, and a "malicious-package" entry runs `Updating plugins to
latest from registry: ep_markdown` (only) and ep_markdown ends up at
11.0.18 — the bad entries are silently filtered out.

* test: widen timing windows for flaky CI tests on slow runners
SessionStore.ts and socketio.ts dominate develop CI failures (~25–40% of
recent runs). Both fail due to race conditions on slow Windows / loaded
Linux runners — not logic bugs.
SessionStore tests configure session expiry windows of 100ms and then
sleep 110ms before asserting. On a slow runner, the wall-clock between
`set()` and the assertion can exceed 100ms, the timeout in
`SessionStore._updateExpirations()` then sees `exp.real <= now` and
calls `_destroy()`, deleting the DB record before the assertion runs.
The test then reads `null` / `undefined` instead of the expected JSON.
Tripling each affected window (100→300, 110→330, 200→600) keeps the
relative timing semantics identical while leaving enough headroom for
a slow CI runner. Local run is +3s on this spec; cheap insurance for
the global flake rate.
`waitForSocketEvent` in tests/backend/common.ts uses a 1s timeout for
socket.io message round-trips. The socket.io handshake + auth +
CLIENT_READY can exceed 1s on a slow runner; bumped to 5s.
The most-failing tests this addresses:
- SessionStore: get of record from previous run (not yet expired)
- SessionStore: external expiration update is picked up
- SessionStore: shutdown cancels timeouts
- socketio: !authn anonymous cookie /p/pad -> 200, ok
- socketio: authn user /p/pad -> 200, ok
- clientvar_rev_consistency: CLIENT_VARS stays consistent under
concurrent edits during handshake
All 28 SessionStore + 33 socketio tests pass locally.

* test: address Qodo PR feedback — configurable socket timeout, polling for cleanup
Both items raised in Qodo's review of #7647.
1) Hardcoded 5s socket wait
waitForSocketEvent() now takes an optional timeoutMs (default 1000ms,
matching pre-PR behaviour). Only the known-slow connect() and
handshake() paths pass 5000ms — they're the ones blowing the 1s budget
on loaded CI runners. Per-message waits (waitForAcceptCommit and
ad-hoc callers in messages.ts etc.) keep the 1s default so failures
surface fast with the descriptive helper error rather than the generic
Mocha timeout.
2) SessionStore waits still tight
Replaced fixed sleeps with a small `eventually()` poller for the three
"record should be gone after expiry" assertions:
- set of session that expires
- switch from non-expiring to expiring
- get of record from previous run (not yet expired)
These now poll every 25ms up to 2000ms so they pass immediately when
cleanup completes on a fast runner, and tolerate hundreds of ms of
event-loop delay on a slow one. No fixed coupling between sleep
duration and expiry duration.
For the inverse "record should still be there" case in
`shutdown cancels timeouts`, polling doesn't apply (we're verifying
that a cancelled timer did NOT fire, which requires a real wait past
the original expiry). Bumped expires 300→500ms and wait 330→700ms so
setup (set+get+shutdown) has 500ms before the timer would fire (vs.
30ms previously) and the 700ms wait still passes the original expiry.

* ci(docs): build on PRs and pin Node 22 (Qodo follow-up to #7640)
Qodo flagged two reliability gaps on the oxc-minify fix that landed in
#7640:
1. The Deploy Docs to GitHub Pages workflow only ran on push to
develop, so a PR that broke `pnpm run docs:build` was not caught
until after merge — exactly how the dead-link regression in #7546
escaped. Add a pull_request trigger that runs the same build but
skips the deploy/upload steps via `if: github.event_name ==
'push'`. Also include the workflow file itself in the path filter
so changes to it are exercised on PR.
2. oxc-minify@0.128.0 requires Node ^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0, but the
workflow did not pin Node and the repo declared engines.node
>=22.0.0 with engineStrict: true — a runner image (or local dev)
on Node 22.0–22.11 would refuse to install. Pin Node 22 in the
docs workflow with actions/setup-node@v6 (matching the rest of
CI), and bump engines.node to >=22.12.0 so the project's
engineStrict gate matches the actual minimum.

* ci(docs): split build and deploy so PR runs do not hit pages env protection
The previous attempt put `if: github.event_name == 'push'` on individual
deploy steps but kept the single job's `environment: github-pages`
binding. Environment protection rules reject any non-develop ref
(including `refs/pull/N/merge`), so the runner failed the entire job
at creation time before any step could execute:
Branch "refs/pull/7645/merge" is not allowed to deploy to
github-pages due to environment protection rules.
Split into two jobs: `build` runs on every trigger (PR + push) and
uploads the artifact only on push, `deploy` depends on `build`,
runs only on push, and is the only job bound to the github-pages
environment. Standard GHA pages-deploy pattern; PR builds never
attempt to enter the protected environment.
* docs: align Node minimum references with bumped engines.node (Qodo round 2 on #7645)
Qodo flagged that engines.node moved from >=22.0.0 to >=22.12.0 in
this PR but documentation still claimed the old requirement. Sync the
three places that pinned a specific minimum:
- README.md installation requirements (>= 22 → >= 22.12)
- doc/npm-trusted-publishing.md publish prerequisites
(>=22.0.0 → >=22.12.0, with oxc-minify cited as the driver)
- CHANGELOG.md 2.7.3 breaking-changes entry (22 → 22.12, with the
same oxc-minify justification)

PR #7546 added a one-time pad-deletion-token modal that opens via the
clientVars handshake on creator sessions and synchronously focuses its
input through setTimeout(0). `goToNewPad`'s previous mitigation hid the
modal element after `waitForEditorReady`, but the editor iframe
attaches before clientVars arrives, so the hide runs against a still-
hidden modal, short-circuits, and the modal opens later mid-test —
stealing focus and dropping the next Enter / Tab. Visible on develop
in `enter.spec.ts:33` and `indentation.spec.ts:9` across all four
Playwright jobs (run 25214868650).
Intercept `clientVars` assignment via `page.addInitScript` and null out
`padDeletionToken` before `pad.ts`'s `showDeletionTokenModalIfPresent`
can read it, so the modal-show short-circuits at the source. The
deletion-token spec navigates inline with `page.goto` and does not
call this helper, so its modal still appears.

Fixes#6194. Long-lived pads with heavy edit history dominate the DB —
the issue describes a ~400 MB Postgres after two months with ~100
users. Etherpad keeps every revision forever, and removing arbitrary
middle revisions is unsafe because state is reconstructed by composing
forward from key revisions.
What's safe: collapse the full history into a single base revision
that reproduces the current atext. The existing `copyPadWithoutHistory`
already does this for a new pad ID — this PR lifts that same changeset
pattern into an in-place operation and wires up an admin CLI.
- `Pad.compactHistory(authorId?)` (src/node/db/Pad.ts): composes the
current atext into one base changeset, deletes all existing rev
records, clears saved-revision bookmarks, and appends the new rev 0.
Text, attributes, and chat history are preserved; saved-revision
pointers are cleared. Returns the number of revisions removed.
- `API.compactPad(padID, authorId?)` (src/node/db/API.ts): public-API
wrapper around compactHistory. Reports `{removed}` so callers can
log savings.
- `APIHandler.ts`: register `compactPad` under a new `1.3.1` version,
bump `latestApiVersion`.
- `bin/compactPad.ts`: admin CLI. Reports the current revision count,
calls compactPad via the HTTP API, and prints how many revisions
were dropped.
- `src/tests/backend/specs/compactPad.ts`: four backend tests cover
the empty-pad no-op, the text-preservation + head=0 contract,
saved-revision cleanup, and that subsequent edits continue to
append cleanly on top of the collapsed base.
The operation is destructive so admins must opt in explicitly; the CLI
prints the before-count, and the recommended pre-flight is an
`.etherpad` export (backup).
Closes#6194

* fix(compact): delegate to copyPadWithoutHistory via temp-pad swap
The initial compactHistory() implementation built a custom base
changeset and re-ran appendRevision against a reset atext — but the
changeset was packed with oldLength=2 (matching copyPadWithoutHistory's
dest-pad init state) while the reset atext was only length 1, so
applyToText tripped its "mismatched apply: 1 / 2" assertion and every
test failed with a Changeset corruption error.
Switch to the tested path instead: copy the pad via
copyPadWithoutHistory to a uniquely-named temp pad (inherits all its
attribute/pool/changeset correctness), read the temp pad's rev records
back, delete the old ones under our pad's ID, write the new records in
their place, update in-memory state to match, and remove the temp pad.
Errors at any step fall through with a best-effort temp-pad cleanup.
Contract shifts slightly: the collapsed pad is head<=1 rather than
head=0, matching the shape of a freshly-imported pad (seed rev 0 +
content rev 1). Tests updated to assert that invariant plus
text-preservation, saved-revision cleanup, and append-after-compact.

* test(6194): match the head<=1 post-compact contract
Tests previously asserted head=0 exactly after compaction; the
temp-pad-swap path lands at head=1 (one seed rev plus one content
rev) matching the shape of a freshly-imported pad. Relax the
assertions to and derive the removed-count from
before-head minus after-head, so the tests still catch regressions in
text-preservation, saved-revision cleanup, and append-after-compact
without being tied to the exact implementation shape.

* refactor(6194): wrap existing Cleanup instead of duplicating it
Develop already ships a working revision-cleanup path under
`src/node/utils/Cleanup.ts` with two public helpers —
`deleteAllRevisions(padId)` (collapse full history via
copyPadWithoutHistory) and `deleteRevisions(padId, keepRevisions)`
(keep the last N). The admin-settings UI wires these up but neither
is exposed on the public API, and there's no CLI for operators who
want to run compaction outside the web UI. That's the gap this PR
now fills.
Changes from the prior revision of this PR:
- Drop `pad.compactHistory()` — it re-implemented what
`Cleanup.deleteAllRevisions` already does. Remove the duplicate.
- `API.compactPad(padID, keepRevisions?)` now delegates to Cleanup:
• keepRevisions null/undefined → deleteAllRevisions (full collapse)
• keepRevisions >= 0 → deleteRevisions(N) (keep last N)
Returns {ok, mode: 'all' | 'keepLast', keepRevisions?}.
- APIHandler `1.3.1`: signature updated to take `keepRevisions`
instead of `authorId`.
- `bin/compactPad.ts`: accepts `--keep N` for the keep-last mode,
shows before/after revision counts so operators see concrete
savings.
- Backend tests rewritten around the public API surface (mode
reporting, text preservation, input validation) rather than
internal method plumbing that no longer exists.
Net: strictly a thin public-API and CLI veneer over already-tested
Cleanup helpers. No new low-level logic.

* test(6194): assert content markers, not byte-exact atext
Cleanup.deleteAllRevisions internally calls copyPadWithoutHistory
twice (src → tempId, tempId → src with force=true), and each round
trip normalizes trailing whitespace. That meant my byte-exact
atext.text assertion failed in CI:
expected: '...line 3\n\n\n'
actual: '...line 3\n'
Swap the comparisons to use content markers (marker-alpha / beta /
gamma, keep-line-N). The test still catches the real regressions —
if compactPad lost content those markers would disappear — without
coupling to whitespace quirks of the existing Cleanup implementation.

* fix(6194): correct API param + document compactPad in http_api docs
The 1.3.1 entry in APIHandler registered `['padID', 'authorId']`, but
`API.compactPad` takes `(padID, keepRevisions)` and the CLI sends a
`keepRevisions` query param. APIHandler.handle dispatches by URL field
name, so the previous wiring silently dropped `keepRevisions` and never
ran the keep-last branch over HTTP.
- Register `['padID', 'keepRevisions']` so the handler forwards the
CLI/HTTP arg into the API function.
- Add HTTP-level dispatch tests that hit `/api/1.3.1/compactPad` with
and without `keepRevisions`. The direct `api.compactPad()` tests
bypass the handler and would have missed this regression.
- Document compactPad in `doc/api/http_api.md` and `http_api.adoc`,
and bump the documented latest version from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 to match
`latestApiVersion`.

* feat(6194): add bin/compactAllPads for per-instance bulk compaction
`bin/compactPad <padID>` covers the case where you know which pad is
fat. For "reclaim space across the whole instance," composing
`listAllPads` + `compactPad` yourself is annoying; this script does it.
- Walks every pad on the instance and compacts it (full collapse, or
`--keep N` keep-last).
- Per-pad failures don't abort the run — they're logged, counted, and
the script exits 1 if any failed.
- `--dry-run` lists pads + revision counts without writing anything,
so operators can scope impact before committing.
- Reports `before → after` per pad and a total reclaimed count.
Deliberately not adding a `compactAllPads` HTTP API: bulk compaction
over a single HTTP request means one giant response and a long-held
connection. Operators who want this should run it locally, where they
can see progress and kill it cleanly. Staleness gating ("only pads
older than X days") is tracked separately as a follow-up.
Also registers `compactPad` and `compactAllPads` script aliases in
`bin/package.json` so they show up next to the other admin CLIs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(6194): cover the bin/compactAllPads loop logic
Previous commit added the script but only exercised it by hand. The
loop itself — error tolerance, dry-run gating, keep-last passthrough,
the empty-instance and listAllPads-failure paths — had no automated
coverage.
- Refactor compactAllPads.ts to export `runCompactAll(api, opts, logger)`
and `parseArgs(argv)`. The CLI shell wires them up to axios+APIKEY
for production; tests use an in-memory `CompactAllApi` so we don't
need to stand up the apikey-auth path in mocha.
- Add 9 specs covering: arg parsing, full-collapse iteration,
--keep N passthrough, --dry-run skipping writes, single-pad failure
not aborting the run, pre-flight count failure tolerated, a
listAllPads failure short-circuiting cleanly, the empty-instance
no-op, and a final end-to-end test that runs `runCompactAll`
against the real `/api/1.3.1/compactPad` handler over supertest+JWT
to catch contract drift between the CompactAllApi shape and the
HTTP endpoints.

* fix(6194): address Qodo review — gate, integer check, SSL
Three valid concerns from the Qodo review on 75a08a13:
1. **cleanup.enabled gate.** The admin/Cleanup-socket path checks
`settings.cleanup.enabled` before doing anything destructive; the
public API was bypassing that gate. Now `compactPad` mirrors the
admin path's check and returns a clear apierror when disabled, so
exposing the API doesn't accidentally widen the cleanup-opt-in
surface.
2. **Number.isFinite → Number.isInteger.** `2.5` was finite and
non-negative, so the old check let it through into
`Cleanup.deleteRevisions`, which does revision-index arithmetic
that assumes integer math. Reject at the API boundary instead of
silently misbehaving.
3. **SSL-aware baseURL in the bin scripts.** Other bin scripts
hardcode `http://`, but the rest of the codebase uses
`settings.ssl ? 'https' : 'http'`. The compact CLIs now do the
same, so they work against HTTPS deployments. (Other bin scripts
carry the same bug but fixing them is out of scope for this PR.)
Tests:
- New spec: `rejects fractional keepRevisions` (2.5 with the old
check passed; the new one rejects).
- New spec: `refuses to run when cleanup.enabled is false`. The
existing API tests opt in via a before-hook + restore, so they
still cover the success path under the new gate.
- API docs (`http_api.md` + `http_api.adoc`) document the gate and
the new error message.
Skipped Qodo concerns:
- "Wrong compactPad parameters" — already fixed in 26e12ff7
(the param map now correctly says `keepRevisions`, not `authorId`).
- "Unbounded revision deletions" / "No session eviction" / changeset
base-length / padCreate hook — these all targeted the earlier
on-Pad implementation that was refactored away. The current code
wraps `Cleanup.deleteAllRevisions` / `deleteRevisions`, which
already handle concurrency, locking, and hook semantics.

open to capture the token.

Clicking the ack button transferred focus out of the pad iframe, which

* fix(gdpr): PadDeletionManager race + document createPad/deletePad
Qodo review:
- createDeletionTokenIfAbsent() was a non-atomic read-then-write. Two
concurrent callers for the same pad could both return different
plaintext tokens while only the later hash was stored, leaving the
first caller with an unusable recovery token. Serialise per-pad via a
Promise chain and add a regression test that fires 8 concurrent
calls and asserts exactly one plaintext is emitted and validates.
- doc/api/http_api.md now documents createPad returning deletionToken
and deletePad accepting the optional deletionToken parameter.

* fix(gdpr): always render delete-with-token in settings popup

enablePadWideSettings is true AND the section is toggled visible.
Second-device recovery (typing the captured token on a fresh browser)
must work without pad-wide settings enabled, so move the details out
to sit alongside the existing pad_deletion_token.spec.ts expectations.

* fix(gdpr): require valid token when supplied, gate on auth, harden a11y/i18n
- PadMessageHandler: a supplied deletion token must validate; do not fall
back to the creator-cookie path when the token is wrong (was deleting
the pad anyway when the creator pasted a wrong token into the field).
- Skip token issuance + UI when requireAuthentication is on (creator
identity is stable, recovery token is redundant noise).
- Server emits messageKey instead of hardcoded English; both shout
handlers (inline alert and global gritter) localize via html10n.
- Suppress the global "Admin message" gritter for pad.deletionToken.*
shouts to avoid the "Admin message: undefined" duplicate.
- Token-modal a11y: role=dialog, aria-modal, aria-labelledby/describedby,
visually-hidden label on the token input, aria-live on Copy, focus to
the token input on open and restore on dismiss.
- Style the "Delete Pad with Token" disclosure to match the Delete pad
button; align the Copy/value row; pad the disclosure label.
Tests: Playwright now covers the creator-with-wrong-token path, asserts
no "Admin message" / "undefined" gritter on denial; backend API test
covers requireAuthentication suppressing the token.

redacted IPs. Fall back to "anonymous" with a WARN at load time.
- New regression test scans the four known log-sites for raw
req.ip / socket.request.ip / request.ip inside logger calls that
don't wrap through anonymizeIp / logIp, so a future edit that
re-introduces a raw IP fails CI.

- Wrap /api/version-status and /admin/update/status with a small async helper

- Short-circuit route registration when updates.tier === 'off' so the heavier
opt-out also removes the HTTP surface (matches pre-PR behavior for that case).
- Add an in-flight guard around performCheck() so overlapping interval ticks
can't race on update-state.json writes or duplicate email decisions; track
the initial setTimeout handle and clear it in shutdown().
- Add updates.requireAdminForStatus (default false) so admins can lock
/admin/update/status to authenticated admin sessions without disabling the
updater. Default false preserves current behavior (the running version is
already exposed publicly via /health). Backend specs cover unauth → 401,
non-admin → 403, admin → 200.
- Bump admin troubleshooting menu count test 5 → 6 to account for the new
Update nav link.

* fix(updater): address Qodo round-2 review feedback
Round 2 of Qodo review on #7601. Addressing the action-required items:
#1 Badge bypassed pad baseURL — derive basePath the same way
padBootstrap.js does (`new URL('..', window.location.href).pathname`)
and prefix the fetch with it. Subpath deployments now reach
/<prefix>/api/version-status instead of 404ing.
#2 Updater poller could get stuck — `getCurrentState()` is now inside
the try/finally so a one-time loadState() rejection can't leave
`checkInFlight=true` and permanently silence polling.
#3 Updates off hung admin page — UpdatePage now self-fetches and
renders explicit `disabled` (404), `unauthorized` (401/403), and
`error` states instead of staying on "Loading...". Banner-driven
prefetch is still honoured if it landed first.
#11 NaN polling interval — coerce `checkIntervalHours` to a number,
clamp to [1h, 168h], log a warning and fall back to 6h on
non-finite input. Math.max(1, NaN) === NaN previously meant a
malformed settings.json could turn the poller into a tight loop.
#13 State validation accepted broken subfields — `isValid()` now
inspects `latest.{version,tag,body,publishedAt,htmlUrl,prerelease}`,
`vulnerableBelow[].{announcedBy,threshold}`, and
`email.{severeAt,vulnerableAt,vulnerableNewReleaseTag}`. A
hand-edited file with a number where a string is expected is now
treated as corrupt and reset to EMPTY_STATE rather than crashing
later in semver parsing or email rendering.
#14 Badge cache stampede — wrap `computeOutdated()` in a single-flight
promise so concurrent requests at cache expiry await one shared
computation instead of fanning out into N redundant disk reads.
Plus six new state.test.ts cases covering each new validation guard.
Pushing back on the remaining items:
#4 `updates.tier` defaults to `notify` — intentional. The whole point
of tier 1 is to surface the "you are behind" signal to admins by
default. Opt-in defeats the purpose; the existing failure mode
(admin never hears about a security-relevant release) is exactly
what this PR is fixing.
#5/#8 Admin status endpoint admin-auth — `currentVersion` is already
public via `/health`, so wrapping the route in admin-auth doesn't
reduce the disclosure surface meaningfully. Operators who want it
gated set `updates.requireAdminForStatus=true` (already wired and
covered by the comment on the route handler).
#10 Plain `https://` URLs in planning doc — planning markdown is
viewed in editors and on GitHub where protocol-relative URLs would
either render literally or break entirely. Keeping `https://`.

the timeslider, and the homepage so shared links unfurl with
a useful preview in chat apps.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(spec): expand OG spec — i18n (locale map + og:locale) and a11y (image:alt)
Address review feedback: socialDescription accepts a per-language map,
og:locale is emitted from the negotiated render language, and image:alt
attributes are emitted for screen readers in chat clients.

* feat: emit Open Graph & Twitter Card metadata for pad/timeslider/home
Closes#7599.
Pad URLs shared in chat apps (WhatsApp, Signal, Slack, etc.) previously
unfurled with no preview because the rendered HTML carried no OG or
Twitter Card metadata. This change emits og:title, og:description,
og:image, og:url, og:site_name, og:type, og:locale, og:image:alt and
the equivalent twitter:* tags on the pad page, the timeslider, and the
homepage.
A new settings.json key `socialDescription` controls the description.
It accepts either a plain string applied to every locale or a per-language
map keyed by BCP-47 tag with an optional `default` fallback. og:locale
is emitted from the language already negotiated via req.acceptsLanguages
and og:image:alt provides screen-reader text for chat-client previews.
Pad names from the URL are HTML-escaped before being interpolated into
og:title to prevent reflected XSS via crafted pad IDs.
Tests: src/tests/backend/specs/socialMeta.ts covers the default,
per-locale override, locale fallback, URL decoding, XSS escape, and
the timeslider/homepage variants.
Semver: minor (new setting; templates emit additional tags but no
existing behavior changes).

* fix(test): use valid pad-name char in URL-decode test
Spaces aren't allowed in pad names — Etherpad redirected /p/Has%20Space*
to a sanitized name (302), so the og:title assertion failed. Use %2D
("-") instead, which is a valid pad-name character and still exercises
the URL-decode path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(socialMeta): don't double-decode pad name from req.params.pad
Express has already URL-decoded :pad route params before they reach the
handler. Calling decodeURIComponent on the result throws URIError for
pad names containing a literal "%" — e.g. the URL /p/100%25 yields
req.params.pad === "100%", and decodeURIComponent("100%") throws.
This would have prevented the page from rendering for some valid pad
IDs. Drop the redundant decode and add a regression test for the "%"
case.

* refactor(socialMeta): source description from i18n catalog, drop settings key
Per review: the OG description is a translatable string and belongs in
Etherpad's locale files alongside the rest of the UI strings, not in
settings.json. Operators who want to override it per-language continue to
use the standard customLocaleStrings mechanism — no new config surface.
Changes:
- Add "pad.social.description" to src/locales/en.json (default English).
- Export i18n.locales so server-side renderers can look up translations.
- socialMeta.renderSocialMeta now takes a `locales` map and resolves
renderLang → primary subtag → en, instead of taking a per-locale map
from settings.
- Remove `socialDescription` from Settings.ts, settings.json.template,
settings.json.docker (the key never shipped).
- Update tests and spec doc to reflect i18n-sourced description.
Reported by Qodo on PR #7635 (also confirmed feature is fine to land
default-on; no flag needed).

* test(socialMeta): add unit tests for pure helpers
21 cases exercising buildSocialMetaHtml and renderSocialMeta directly,
without HTTP/DB. Covers tag enumeration, HTML escaping, og:locale
region formatting, title composition (pad/timeslider/home), description
i18n resolution (exact/primary/en fallback, missing catalog), image URL
(default favicon vs absolute settings.favicon vs alt text), canonical
URL building with query-string stripping, the literal "%" no-throw
regression, and attribute-breakout escape.

* fix(socialMeta): defend og:url/og:image against host-header poisoning
Previously og:url and og:image were built from req.protocol +
req.get('host'), both of which can be client-controlled (Host header
directly, or X-Forwarded-* under trust proxy). A crafted Host could
make the server emit OG tags pointing at an attacker's origin —
harmful if any cache fronts the response or if a vulnerable proxy
forwards the headers unsanitized.
Two-layer defense:
1. New optional setting `publicURL` lets operators pin the canonical
origin used for shared link previews ("https://pad.example"). When
set, og:url and og:image use it unconditionally. Sanitized at use
time: must be http(s)://host[:port] with no path, no userinfo, no
trailing slash; malformed values fall back to the request.
2. When `publicURL` is unset, the request-derived fallback now strictly
validates the Host header against /^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9.-]{0,253}[a-z0-9])?(:\d{1,5})?$/i
and caps the scheme to "http"/"https". A crafted Host (CRLF
injection, userinfo, "<script>") is replaced with "localhost"
instead of being echoed into og:url.
Reported by Qodo on PR #7635.
Tests: 5 new unit cases covering publicURL preference, trailing-slash
strip, malformed-publicURL fallback, Host validation, scheme cap.

* refactor(socialMeta): tighten types, drop `any`
- `req: any` -> express `Request` (covers acceptsLanguages/protocol/get/originalUrl).
- `settings: any` -> local `SocialMetaSettings` interface narrowed to the three
fields we actually read (title/favicon/publicURL); avoids coupling to the
full Settings module surface.
- `availableLangs: {[k: string]: any}` -> `{[lang: string]: unknown}`; only
keys are read, so values stay deliberately unconstrained.
No runtime change. All 26 socialMeta unit tests still pass.
Per Sam's review on #7635.

* feat(pad): add <meta name="theme-color"> matching toolbar (#7606)
Mobile browsers paint the address-bar / status-bar area above the
viewport. Without theme-color this is a system color that does not
match the Etherpad toolbar, leaving a visible gap above the pad.
Render <meta name="theme-color"> server-side so the bar matches the
configured toolbar on first paint. Light + dark variants are emitted
with prefers-color-scheme media queries when dark mode is enabled.
Colors are derived from settings.skinVariants via a new SkinColors
helper (mirrors --bg-color in the colibris pad-variants.css).
Closes#7606
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(timeslider): emit single theme-color matching configured toolbar
Qodo flagged a mismatch: timeslider does not switch skin variants on
prefers-color-scheme, so emitting a dark theme-color via media query
would leave dark-mode devices with a dark address bar over a light
toolbar. Drop the media-query metas on timeslider and emit one
unconditional theme-color resolved from settings.skinVariants.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(pad): emit unconditional theme-color so dark-OS users still match
Qodo flagged that gating the light theme-color on
prefers-color-scheme: light leaves no applicable meta on dark-OS
devices when enableDarkMode is false — the address bar then uses a
system color while the toolbar stays light.
Drop the light media query so the light theme-color is the baseline,
and let the prefers-color-scheme: dark meta override it when dark
mode is enabled.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(theme-color): align dark meta with client-side super-dark override
Two related Qodo findings on the SkinColors helper:
- The pad client's dark-mode auto-switch (pad.ts L650) forces
super-dark-toolbar regardless of the configured skinVariants, so
the prefers-color-scheme: dark meta must always be #485365 — not
whichever dark variant the operator configured.
- When skinVariants only carries a dark token (e.g. dark-toolbar),
the previous helper left the baseline meta at #ffffff, so light-OS
users would see white above a dark toolbar.
Replace toolbarThemeColors() with configuredToolbarColor() (used as
the unconditional baseline) and a fixed DARK_MODE_TOOLBAR_COLOR
constant (used in the prefers-color-scheme: dark meta).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(theme-color): server-side only, drop fragile dark media query
Address remaining Qodo findings on the theme-color rollout:
- (#1) Skip emitting the meta entirely when settings.skinName is not
colibris — the helper only knows colibris's --bg-color values, so
on no-skin or third-party skins the previous code would emit a
white meta over a non-white toolbar.
- (#4) Drop the prefers-color-scheme: dark variant. The pad's
client-side dark mode is also gated on a localStorage white-mode
override that no media query can express, so the dark meta could
paint a dark address bar over a still-light toolbar. The single
baseline meta always matches what the user sees on first paint.
- (#8) Remove the redundant module.exports assignment; rely on the
ES named export only (tsx handles the require() interop).
- (#9) Iterate the toolbar variants in CSS source order and let the
last match win, matching the cascade in pad-variants.css when
multiple *-toolbar tokens are present.

* ci: add ep_font_color and ep_hash_auth to plugin test matrix
These are the #12 and #14 most-installed Etherpad plugins on npm
(last 30d) and were the only top-15 plugins not exercised by the
withpluginsLinux / withpluginsWindows / Playwright with-plugins
jobs. Adding them broadens coverage of the plugin loader against
two real-world hooks: aceEditorCSS / aceAttribsToClasses
(ep_font_color) and authenticate / handleMessage (ep_hash_auth).
ep_hash_auth's authenticate hook is a no-op unless a Basic auth
header is sent and a matching settings.users[user].hash exists,
so it falls through cleanly with the default test settings.

* test(change_user_color): close users popup before opening chat
The "Own user color is shown when you enter a chat" spec leaves the
users popup open after picking a color, then calls showChat(). In the
with-plugins matrix the popup overlaps #chaticon and intercepts pointer
events, so the click in showChat() is retried until the 90s timeout
(× 5 retries ≈ 7m), failing both Firefox and Chrome with-plugins jobs.
Toggle the users button off and wait for popup-show to drop before
clicking the chat icon, matching the close pattern used in
a11y_dialogs.spec.ts.

* fix: delay anchor line scrolling until layout settles
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: anchor reapply loop cancels on user interaction
Addresses Qodo review: the 10s reapply loop could fight the user when
they tried to scroll or click away from the anchored line. Listen for
wheel/touchmove/keydown/mousedown on both ace_outer and ace_inner
documents in capture phase and tear down the interval on first signal.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: anchor reapply loop exits early once layout settles + FF rationale
Addresses Qodo review on #7544:
1. Requirement gap (#1): Add stability detection to focusOnLine()'s
reapply loop. When the target line's offsetTop has not changed for
3 consecutive 250ms ticks (~750ms), stop() is called early instead
of running the full 10s window. This means once late content is no
longer shifting layout, the loop releases the user immediately
rather than waiting out maxSettleDuration.
2. Maintainability (#4): Add a comment explaining why the previous
$.animate({scrollTop}) "needed for FF" path was replaced with a
direct .scrollTop() call — the settle interval now covers the
late-layout case Firefox originally needed animation for.
Also adds a test that the reapply loop exits early so a user-initiated
scrollTop=0 after ~2s is not reverted by another reapply tick.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(anchor-scroll): tolerance, min-settle window, missing-anchor bail-out
Round 3 of Qodo review on #7544:
#3 Early exit misses late shifts — image loads / plugin renders past my
previous 750ms early-exit window were no longer corrected. Add a
`minSettleDuration` of 2s before any early-exit can fire, and bump
`stableTicksRequired` from 3 to 4. Hard ceiling stays 10s.
#4 Offset equality prevents stability — strict === on `offset().top`
never matched in the presence of sub-pixel rounding, so the loop
ran the full 10s even on stable layouts. Switch to `Math.abs(...) <
1` tolerance.
#7 Invalid anchors spin interval — when `getCurrentTargetOffset()`
keeps returning null (the requested line never resolves), the loop
used to run for the full 10s doing nothing. Track consecutive
misses and `stop()` after `missingTicksRequired` (8 ticks ≈ 2s).
Real "inner doc not yet rendered" cases get the first 2s window.
Bump the early-exit test's wait from 2s → 3.5s to clear the new
`minSettleDuration` + `stableTicksRequired` window before asserting.
Pushing back on remaining Qodo items:
#1 Defer scroll until layout settles — the design is "scroll once
immediately so the user sees the line, then keep correcting".
Deferring all scrolling until "stable" (which is unknowable up
front) would visibly hang on `#L...` navigation for seconds while
nothing happens. The reapply loop is the deferral.
#6 FF rationale lost — already addressed in the previous commit
(comment on the `scrollTop()` call explaining why the
`$.animate({scrollTop})` "needed for FF" path was removed). Qodo's
persistent review doesn't track resolution of items that aren't
touched by the new commit.

Remove the FRONTEND_IGNORE entry that suppressed
ep_headings2/static/tests/frontend-new/specs/headings.spec.ts under
WITH_PLUGINS=1. The skip was added in #7628 while the keystroke-drop
flake (#7611) was still being chased; #7630 then identified the actual
root cause as ep_cursortrace's per-keystroke cursorPosition socket
spam saturating Firefox's input pipeline, removed ep_cursortrace
from the WITH_PLUGINS plugin set, and added waitForEditorReady() to
goToNewPad/goToPad. With both root causes addressed, this skip is
likely stale — the spec's own "Option select is changed when heading
is changed" test already uses insertText for the second-line typing,
so it should clear the same bar that #7630 cleared for ep_markdown
and ep_spellcheck (both now passing on develop).
Closesether/etherpad#7626 if CI confirms — the issue's three plugin
specs (markdown, spellcheck, headings2) and timeslider_identity_changeset
are all addressed once this lands. If headings2 is still flaky after
this, FRONTEND_IGNORE comes back with a narrower comment about what
specifically still races.

* test(playwright): wait for editor editability in goToNewPad/goToPad
#editorcontainer.initialized fires after padeditor.init resolves but
before ace flips the inner body from `class="static"` /
contentEditable=false to editable. Under WITH_PLUGINS load in Firefox
that flip can lag long enough that an immediate click + keyboard.type
runs against a still-static body and is silently dropped — the body
keeps showing the default welcome text and never sees our input.
Most of the specs that currently carry `test.skip(WITH_PLUGINS)`
markers (#7611) are racing exactly this flip. Block in goToNewPad /
goToPad until the inner #innerdocbody is `contenteditable="true"`,
so every spec starts from a known-ready editor without each having
to add its own ad-hoc waits.
Value-driven: exits as soon as ace flips the attribute, no fixed
delay. Refactored into a private waitForEditorReady() helper so
goToNewPad and goToPad share a single source of truth.

* test(playwright): un-skip bold.spec under WITH_PLUGINS
The two skipped tests fail because clicking the bold toolbar button
right after selectAllText is intercepted by the #toolbar-overlay div
(same root cause that needed force:true in clearAuthorship and
ep_align). Add force:true to the click and drop the
test.skip(WITH_PLUGINS) markers.
The keypress variant doesn't click a toolbar button — it relies on
the editor being editable when keyboard.press fires. The previous
commit (waitForEditorReady in goToNewPad) covers that.
Proof-of-concept un-skip; if CI confirms both pass, will expand the
same pattern to the rest of the #7611 skip set.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): make bold.spec robust to Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS
The previous attempt at un-skipping these tests added force:true on
the toolbar click but left the legacy selectAllText + keyboard.type
sequence in place. Firefox under WITH_PLUGINS load racily drops
keystrokes from per-key events, leaving an empty selection that the
bold-on-click and Ctrl+B branches both no-op'd against — the asserts
then timed out 5 retries deep with no <b> element.
Replace the selectAllText + keyboard.type prelude with the standard
clearPadContent + writeToPad pair. writeToPad uses insertText (one
input event for the whole string) which is the same fix that
unblocked ep_align in #7625.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: 2/2 pass in 15s.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip 4 writeToPad-only specs under WITH_PLUGINS
These four specs were marked test.skip(WITH_PLUGINS) for "flaky in
with-plugins suite" but only use writeToPad / clearPadContent /
goToNewPad — no direct keyboard.type, no toolbar button clicks. The
flake was the editor not being ready when the test's first
interaction fired (now covered by waitForEditorReady in
goToNewPad/goToPad earlier in this branch) plus writeToPad's switch
to insertText (#7625).
- urls_become_clickable.spec.ts (file-level skip)
- unaccepted_commit_warning.spec.ts
- undo_clear_authorship.spec.ts
- timeslider_follow.spec.ts
Just removing the skip lines is enough; no other changes needed.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: all 40 tests across
the four specs pass in 3m1s. urls_become_clickable contributes the
bulk (37 tests via parameterised describes).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip page_up_down and timeslider_line_numbers under WITH_PLUGINS
Both specs use writeToPad + keyboard.press for Page Up/Down, End,
arrow keys, and the like — no per-character keyboard.type, no
toolbar button clicks. The flake was the editor not being ready
when the spec's first interaction fired (now covered by
waitForEditorReady earlier in this branch) plus writeToPad's switch
to insertText (#7625) for the multi-line setup.
- page_up_down.spec.ts (3 skips)
- timeslider_line_numbers.spec.ts (1 skip)
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: 5/5 tests pass.
enter.spec.ts deliberately left skipped — its Enter-in-a-loop test
(line 33) drops keypresses under load and needs a value-driven
per-iteration verify, separate change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip chat/list_wrap/clear_authorship; re-skip undo_clear_authorship
Three more files cleared after the editor-ready helper landed:
- chat.spec.ts (2 skips) — both clicks target settings-popup
checkboxes, not toolbar buttons; the toolbar-overlay isn't
in play, so just dropping the skips is enough.
- clear_authorship_color.spec.ts (1) — uses the existing
clearAuthorship helper, which already runs with force:true.
- list_wrap_indent.spec.ts (1) — adds force:true to the
.buttonicon-insertorderedlist click that fires after
selectAllText (same pattern as bold.spec).
Reverts the un-skip on undo_clear_authorship.spec.ts: that one
spawns two browser contexts and races against User B's writeToPad
landing in the second pad. Hit a real flake locally where User B's
text never appeared. Needs a per-user "wait for text to commit"
before the assertion. Re-add the skip until that fix is in.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: 16 passed across
the three un-skipped files (one undo_clear_authorship retry
flaked, hence the revert).

* test(playwright): un-skip alphabet/delete/select_focus_restore under WITH_PLUGINS
- alphabet.spec.ts (1) — swapped page.keyboard.type for writeToPad
- delete.spec.ts (1) — same swap
- select_focus_restore.spec.ts (1) — left keyboard.type in place
(the test specifically verifies that focus returns to the editor
after a toolbar select change; replacing with writeToPad would
re-focus the body via a click and mask the bug being asserted).
Editor-ready wait alone is enough here.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: 3/3 pass in 23s.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip bold_paste + undo_redo_scroll under WITH_PLUGINS
- bold_paste.spec.ts (1) — already used writeToPad; just dropping
the skip is enough now that the editor-ready helper landed.
- undo_redo_scroll.spec.ts (2) — replaced the
`for (45 lines) { keyboard.type; keyboard.press('Enter') }` loop
with a single writeToPad of `lines.join('\\n') + '\\n'`. writeToPad
drives input via insertText (one input event per line) which
Firefox under WITH_PLUGINS load handles without dropping events.
The Ctrl+Z scroll-to-caret behaviour the test asserts is
unchanged — each line still lands in its own changeset for the
undo module to reverse.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: bold_paste passes
clean; undo_redo_scroll passes via the existing per-spec
`retries: 2` config (the scroll timing race exists pre-change and
is what motivates the retries).

* test(playwright): un-skip unordered_list 'enter for the new line' under WITH_PLUGINS
- Add force:true on the .buttonicon-insertunorderedlist click to
bypass #toolbar-overlay (same pattern as clearAuthorship and
bold.spec).
- Replace the
keyboard.type('line 1'); keyboard.press('Enter');
keyboard.type('line 2'); keyboard.press('Enter');
sequence with a single writeToPad('line 1\\nline 2\\n') —
insertText per line + Enter between, which Firefox under
WITH_PLUGINS load handles without dropping events. The trailing
newline preserves the final Enter the original spec relied on.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: passes in 8s.

* test(playwright): un-skip all 4 ordered_list tests under WITH_PLUGINS

.buttonicon-insertorderedlist clicks (toolbar-overlay
interception after selection); collapse the per-line
keyboard.type + keyboard.press('Enter') sequences into single
writeToPad calls with embedded newlines.
- issue #5160 and #5718 already used force:true and writeToPad
throughout; just dropping the skip is enough now that the
editor-ready helper landed.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: 11 passed (4 ordered_list
+ 5 unordered_list, plus 2 sub-describes). 1m24s total.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip all 4 indentation tests under WITH_PLUGINS
Same pattern as bold/ordered_list/unordered_list:
- force:true on .buttonicon-indent / .buttonicon-bold /
.buttonicon-outdent clicks (toolbar-overlay interception
after a text selection).
- Replace per-line keyboard.type + keyboard.press('Enter')
sequences with single writeToPad calls using \\n separators.
- Replace single-character keyboard.type calls (':', '(', '[',
'{{') with keyboard.insertText for consistency.
The keypress and indent/outdent button tests were already passing
without WITH_PLUGINS skips — only the four tests that race the
toolbar click + typing sequence were skipped. With force:true and
writeToPad they're stable.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: 12 tests pass across
indentation, ordered_list, unordered_list, list_wrap_indent
(matched by the indent grep). 1m11s total.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip enter.spec 'enter is always visible' under WITH_PLUGINS
The test fired 15 keypress('Enter') calls in a tight loop with no
per-iteration verify. Under Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS load the
editor's input pipeline can't always keep up while plugin hooks
are warming, so a few presses get dropped and the final
`expect(div.count).toBe(numberOfLines + originalLength)` fails
with too few lines.
Add a value-driven `expect(div).toHaveCount(originalLength + i + 1)`
after each press. The loop only advances once the editor has
acknowledged the previous Enter, so dropped events become slow
events instead of lost ones.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: passes in 11s
(would have been 1.5m timeout previously).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(playwright): un-skip undo_clear_authorship under WITH_PLUGINS
The two-user test was racing on User B's keyboard.type('Hello from
User B') and 'Still connected!' — Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS load drops
keystrokes from per-key events, leaving the second pad with
truncated text that the body1 round-trip assertion never matches.
Replace both keyboard.type calls with keyboard.insertText (single
input event). Cannot use writeToPad here because the test relies on
the caret position established by the preceding End + Enter — a
writeToPad would re-click the body and reset focus.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: both tests pass clean
in 30s (previously failed all retries at 1m+ each). The
test.describe.configure({retries: 2}) is kept as belt-and-braces
for the multi-context server propagation race that this test
exercises legitimately.

* test(playwright): un-skip collab_client 'bug #4978 regression test' under WITH_PLUGINS
The test's replaceLineText helper used keyboard.type(newText) to
insert the replacement string after a Backspace clear. Firefox under
WITH_PLUGINS load drops keystrokes from per-key events, leaving the
line with truncated text that the cross-context assertions
(body1.toHaveText(user2Text), body2.toHaveText(user1Text)) never
match.
Switch the type to keyboard.insertText (single input event) — same
fix that unblocked ep_align in #7625 and the other typing-races in
this branch. The selectText + Backspace + insertText pattern still
exercises the legitimate collab race the test asserts (concurrent
edits over the COLLABROOM).
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: passes in 15s.
This was the last of the 31 test.skip(WITH_PLUGINS, '#7611') markers
in src/tests/frontend-new/specs/. The branch goal of zero #7611
skips is met.

Qodo flagged the .first() call in #4748's setup as DOM-order
dependent: a future plugin that adds another element carrying the
.buttonicon-insertorderedlist class would silently change which
button the test clicks. Switch to
button[data-l10n-id='pad.toolbar.ol.title'] (the localizationId
declared in src/node/utils/toolbar.ts), which is unique to the core
ordered-list toolbar entry. Drop the now-unnecessary .first().
The class-based locator remains in #5160, #5718, and the indent/
outdent sub-describes; those don't strict-mode-match more than one
element today, but a follow-up could swap them too for consistency
if reviewers want.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS=1: passes in 7s.

* test(playwright): tighten writeToPad Enter delivery + fix toolbar overlay regressions
Three fixes for the failures that surfaced once #7630 ran in CI on
Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS at the full matrix:
1. **writeToPad** now value-waits per Enter and retries up to 3
times if the editor doesn't acknowledge a new line. Long
multi-line writes (e.g. timeslider_follow's #4389 setup with
~120 newlines) were dropping Enters faster than the previous
single-press loop tolerated. The retry surfaces the canonical
"expected N, got M" timeout if all 3 attempts fail.
2. **unordered_list.spec.ts**: every `.buttonicon-*` toolbar click
now uses {force: true}. Two of the un-skipped tests intermittently
missed the click under load because #toolbar-overlay intercepts
pointer events after a text selection (same pattern as bold,
ep_align, et al.). Body clicks (clicks inside the iframe pad
body) are unaffected and stay as plain `.click()`.
3. **timeslider_follow.spec.ts** "regression test for #4389":
re-skipped under WITH_PLUGINS with a specific note. The 120-Enter
setup races plugin load even with the new writeToPad retry —
re-press attempts overshoot the exact line count when a "dropped"
Enter eventually lands. Needs a fundamentally different setup
approach (REST API import, clipboard paste, etc.) to un-skip
reliably; out of scope here.
Net: 30 of the original 31 #7611 skips remain removed (was 31/31
before; the one re-skip is a documented known-aggressive case).

* test(playwright): revert writeToPad per-Enter retry — overshoots cause more failures
The per-Enter value-wait + retry I added in fc45d71e5 was meant to
catch dropped Enters in long multi-line writes, but in CI it made
things worse: when a "dropped" Enter eventually landed during the
retry's short poll window, the next iteration's exact line-count
expectation was off by one and the retry loop overshot, breaking
tests that previously passed (urls_become_clickable, language,
inner_height all hit toHaveCount mismatches that didn't exist
before).
Revert to the simpler insertText + bare keyboard.press('Enter')
loop. Tests with extreme line counts (timeslider_follow #4389,
~120 Enters) stay re-skipped from the prior commit; everything
else accepts the same intermittent flake the helper exhibited
before this fix attempt.

* test(playwright): re-skip 8 tests that need deeper rework to un-skip
Honest scope adjustment after CI surfaced load-dependent failures
that local single-run verification missed. The previous batches
worked at low concurrency but flake at the full Playwright matrix
under WITH_PLUGINS:
- bold_paste.spec.ts — clipboard / paste race between specs
- collab_client.spec.ts (bug #4978) — multi-context cross-pad
propagation under load
- enter.spec.ts (enter is always visible) — 15-Enter loop drops
presses faster than the per-iteration value-wait can recover
- timeslider_follow.spec.ts (content as it's added) — 66 sequential
Enters across 6 writeToPad calls
- undo_clear_authorship.spec.ts (describe-level) — multi-context;
the cross-pad text-arrival assertion races
- undo_redo_scroll.spec.ts (describe-level) — 45-line writeToPad
setup; scroll-position assertion needs stable layout
- unordered_list.spec.ts (Keeps unordered list on enter) — toolbar
click + writeToPad with embedded newline races
All carry inline comments explaining the specific load issue and
referencing #7611 so a follow-up that introduces a REST-driven or
clipboard-paste setup mechanism can target them concretely.
Net: 23 of 31 #7611 skips removed (74%). The deferred 8 share two
underlying limitations that need infrastructure work:
1. No reliable way to drive >10 sequential Enters under load
without occasional drops
2. No reliable cross-context propagation wait helper

* DO-NOT-MERGE bisect plugins: Firefox×HALF-A + Firefox×HALF-B
One CI run, both halves of the standard plugin set, both on Firefox
(which is the project that reliably trips the flake we're chasing).
Playwright Firefox with plugins → HALF A: ep_align, ep_author_hover,
ep_cursortrace, ep_font_size,
ep_headings2
Playwright Chrome with plugins → HALF B: ep_markdown, ep_readonly_guest,
ep_set_title_on_pad, ep_spellcheck,
ep_subscript_and_superscript,
ep_table_of_contents
(job runs --project=firefox here too)
Decision matrix on next CI:
- Both fail → load alone is the cause; deeper rework needed.
- Only A fails → culprit is in HALF A (5 candidates).
- Only B fails → culprit is in HALF B (6 candidates).
- Both pass → flake threshold sits between 5–6 plugins; the
culprit is whichever 2-plugin pair from the full
set tips the load above threshold; iterate.
Revert this commit before merging — it's purely a CI probe.

* DO-NOT-MERGE bisect plugins iter 2: A1 (align,author_hover) vs A2 (cursortrace,font_size,headings2)
Iteration 1 isolated to HALF A. Splitting:
Playwright Firefox with plugins → A1: ep_align, ep_author_hover
Playwright Chrome with plugins → A2: ep_cursortrace, ep_font_size,
ep_headings2 (still --project=firefox)
Decision matrix:
- Both fail → load alone tips it; ≥2 of these 5 are needed.
- Only A1 fails → culprit is ep_align or ep_author_hover.
- Only A2 fails → culprit is ep_cursortrace, ep_font_size, or ep_headings2.
- Both pass → flake threshold is between 2 and 3 plugins from A,
revisit splitting (could be a specific pair).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* DO-NOT-MERGE bisect plugins iter 3: A2a (cursortrace) vs A2b (font_size, headings2)
Iteration 2 isolated to A2 (cursortrace+font_size+headings2).
Iter 3 singles out ep_cursortrace:
Playwright Firefox with plugins → A2a: ep_cursortrace
Playwright Chrome with plugins → A2b: ep_font_size, ep_headings2
(still --project=firefox)
Decision matrix:
- Only A2a fails → ep_cursortrace is the culprit (1 plugin alone tips it).
- Only A2b fails → culprit is ep_font_size or ep_headings2.
- Both fail → load tips at >=1 plugin from this set; investigate
each individually.
- Both pass → load tips at >=3 plugins; revisit splitting.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* DO-NOT-MERGE bisect plugins iter 4 (confirm): all-minus-cursortrace
Iter 3 isolated to ep_cursortrace alone. Confirming by running the
inverse — every other plugin in the standard set, no ep_cursortrace —
on TWO Firefox runs in parallel:
Playwright Firefox with plugins → align, author_hover, font_size,
headings2, markdown,
readonly_guest, set_title_on_pad,
spellcheck,
subscript_and_superscript,
table_of_contents
Playwright Chrome with plugins → same 10 plugins (still
--project=firefox per probe)
Both pass → ep_cursortrace is conclusively the culprit.
Either fails → load is the cause and the bisection mis-attributed
(would need to investigate why iter 3 cursortrace-only
failed: maybe a flaky one-off).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* ci(frontend-tests): exclude ep_cursortrace from with-plugins set
Bisected via 4 CI iterations on this branch. ep_cursortrace's
`aceEditEvent` hook (static/js/main.js in the plugin) fires on every
keyboard event — handleClick, handleKeyEvent, idleWorkTimer — and
unconditionally sends a `cursorPosition` socket message via
`pad.collabClient.sendMessage` per call. Under the test harness's
writeToPad bursts (insertText + Enter loops) that stream of socket
messages saturates the editor's input pipeline in Firefox
specifically, causing intermittent keystroke drops and the entire
class of #7611 flakiness this PR was originally chasing.
Confirmation runs:
- 11-plugin set including ep_cursortrace → fails on Firefox
- HALF B (5 plugins, no cursortrace) → passes
- HALF A (5 plugins, with cursortrace) → fails
- A1 (align, author_hover) — no cursortrace → passes
- A2 (cursortrace, font_size, headings2) → fails
- A2a (cursortrace alone, 1 plugin) → fails
- A2b (font_size, headings2, no cursortrace) → passes
- 10-plugin set, all minus ep_cursortrace → passes (×2 jobs)
Drop ep_cursortrace from the frontend-tests.yml plugin set and
restore all the un-skips that this PR pessimistically re-skipped
during the load-symptom whack-a-mole. The plugin itself needs a
debounce/throttle around its socket send before it can come back
into the test set; tracked separately in the ep_cursortrace repo.
Backend tests / docker / etc remain on the original 11-plugin set
since they don't trip the same input-pipeline race.

* feat(editor): add showMenuRight URL param to hide right-side toolbar
Adds a showMenuRight URL/embed parameter. When set to false, the right-side
toolbar (.menu_right — import/export, timeslider, settings, share, users)
is hidden. Default behavior (menu shown) is unchanged.
Motivated by read-only / announcement-pad embeds where viewers shouldn't
see those controls, but the same server hosts editable pads where the
buttons must remain available (so globally disabling them in settings.json
is not a fit).
Closes#5182
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(editor): auto-hide menu_right on readonly pads, accept showMenuRight=true override
Addresses Qodo review feedback on #7553:
1. Readonly pads now hide the right-side toolbar automatically. The
original issue (#5182) was specifically about readonly embeds; the
previous implementation only honoured an explicit `?showMenuRight=false`
URL parameter, which meant that vanilla readonly pads still showed
import/export/timeslider/settings/share/users controls — all noise
for viewers who can't interact with the pad anyway.
2. Callers who still want the menu visible on readonly pads can opt
back in with `?showMenuRight=true`. The URL-param callback now
accepts both values instead of just `false`.
3. The Playwright spec's `browser.newContext() + clearCookies()` pattern
was a no-op because the test navigated with the existing `page`
fixture (different context). Switch to `page.context().clearCookies()`,
and cover both the auto-hide and the explicit-override paths on a
readonly-URL navigation.

* test(7553): use actual readonly-URL selector in Playwright spec
The previous test looked up (capital-I) and called
inputValue() on it. The real element is (lowercase)
and it's a toggle checkbox, not a URL field. The readonly URL itself
is in `#linkinput`, updated live when the readonly checkbox is
checked. Wire the test to that flow.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(7553): wait for share popup before clicking readonly checkbox
Playwright's stability check kept retrying the click while the popup
was animating open ("element is not stable"). Wait for
#embed.popup-show and use click({force: true}) so a trailing CSS
transform doesn't retrigger the instability backoff. Also wait for
#linkinput to update to the readonly URL before reading it — the
checkbox change is asynchronous.

* feat(editor): add IDE-style line ops (duplicate / delete)
Addresses #6433 — the issue asked for VS-Code-style multi-line editing
for collaborative markdown editing. Full multi-cursor support would need
a rep-model rewrite; this PR lands the two highest-value single-cursor
line ops now so users get the actual ergonomic wins without that lift:
- Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+D: duplicate the current line, or every line in a
multi-line selection. Duplicates land directly below the original
block, so the caret visually stays with the original content — same
as VS Code / JetBrains.
- Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K: delete the current line (or every line in a
multi-line selection), collapsing the range including its trailing
newline. Handles edge cases: last-line selections consume the
preceding newline; a whole-pad selection leaves one empty line
behind (Etherpad always expects at least one).
Both ops run through `performDocumentReplaceRange`, so they're
collaborative-safe: other clients see the change arrive as a normal
changeset, and the operation is a single undo entry.
Wire-up:
- `src/node/utils/Settings.ts`: extend `padShortcutEnabled` with
`cmdShiftD` / `cmdShiftK` (both default true so fresh installs get
the feature without config; operators who pin shortcut maps can
disable them individually).
- `src/static/js/ace2_inner.ts`: new `doDuplicateSelectedLines` /
`doDeleteSelectedLines` helpers, exposed on `editorInfo.ace_*` so
plugins and tests can invoke them programmatically, and keyboard
handlers for Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+D and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K.
Test plan: Playwright spec covers the three interesting paths
(single-line duplicate, single-line delete, multi-line duplicate).
Closes#6433

* test(6433): type the bodyLines helper parameter
* fix(6433): preserve char attributes on duplicate + correct whole-pad delete
Addresses Qodo review feedback on #7564:
1. `doDuplicateSelectedLines` was inserting raw line text via
`performDocumentReplaceRange`, which carries only the author
attribute — every other character-level attribute on the source
line (bold, italic, list, heading, link) was dropped, and in some
cases Etherpad's internal `*` line-marker surfaced as literal text.
Rewrite to build the changeset directly: walk each source line's
attribution ops from `rep.alines[i]`, split the line text at op
boundaries, and call `builder.insert(segment, op.attribs)` once per
op. Each attribute segment from the source ends up on the duplicate
verbatim. Wrapped in `inCallStackIfNecessary` for the standard
fastIncorp + submit cycle.
2. `doDeleteSelectedLines` whole-pad case deleted from `[0, 0]` to
`[0, lastLen]` even when the selection spanned multiple lines,
leaving later lines in place and sometimes producing an invalid
range when `lastLen` exceeded line 0's width. Change to
`[end, lastLen]` so every selected line is cleared, with one empty
line retained for the final-newline invariant.
3. Added `ace_doDuplicateSelectedLines` / `ace_doDeleteSelectedLines`
entries to `doc/api/editorInfo.md` so plugin authors can discover
the new surface.
4. New Playwright spec asserting `<b>` tags survive duplication.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* revert(6433): drop the attributed-duplicate changeset, keep whole-pad delete fix
The attributed-changeset rewrite for doDuplicateSelectedLines tripped
over the insertion-past-final-newline edge case — CI caught the basic
single-line duplicate regressing (gamma → [alpha, beta, gamma] with no
new gamma appearing because the hand-rolled changeset ended up invalid
at the end-of-pad boundary). performDocumentReplaceRange handles that
edge case internally, but only with a uniform author-attribute insert.
Revert duplicateSelectedLines to the simpler performDocumentReplaceRange
form that CI was happy with. Flag the attribute-preservation gap
explicitly in the code so a follow-up can bolt on a proper attributed
insert without re-inventing the end-of-pad handling.
Whole-pad delete fix and editorInfo.md docs stay. Attribute-preservation
test in line_ops.spec.ts is removed along with the broken code.

Under Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS the keyboard.down/press/up('Control')
chord races with the focus delegation into the inner ace iframe and
can drop either the Control or the A keystroke, so the subsequent
Backspace deletes a single character rather than the line and the
"delete everything" revision the test relies on never gets created.
selectAllText runs inside the inner frame's selection model, which
isn't subject to that race.

* ci(packaging): publish signed apt repository to etherpad.org/apt (closes#7610)
Adds an `apt-publish` workflow job that turns the existing `.deb`
build artefacts into a signed apt repository hosted at:
https://etherpad.org/apt/
End-user install on any Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:
curl -fsSL https://etherpad.org/key.asc \
| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/etherpad.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/etherpad.gpg] \
https://etherpad.org/apt stable main" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etherpad.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install etherpad
`apt upgrade` works going forward — every tagged release republishes
the repo metadata.
Change type: patch (CI/distribution; no production behaviour change).
## Why etherpad.org/apt and not ether.github.io/etherpad/apt
ether/etherpad's GitHub Pages is already configured as
build-from-workflow on `develop` with CNAME `docs.etherpad.org`, and
a repo can only have one Pages source. Pushing the apt repo to a
gh-pages branch would either be ignored (Pages is reading from the
docs workflow) or, if Pages were switched to it, would kill the docs
site. ether/ether.github.com is a separate Next.js site that already
deploys etherpad.org and serves `public/` verbatim, so cross-pushing
the apt repo into `public/apt/` lands it at the canonical Etherpad
URL with no infrastructure conflicts.
## What this PR ships
1. `apt-publish` job in `.github/workflows/deb-package.yml`. Runs after
`release` on `v*` tag pushes:
- Clones ether/ether.github.com over SSH using a deploy key.
- Wipes site/public/apt/ and rebuilds it from the per-arch .deb
artefacts using apt-ftparchive.
- Signs Release + emits InRelease/Release.gpg using the keypair
in APT_SIGNING_KEY.
- Drops key.asc into site/public/key.asc.
- Asserts both per-arch .debs are present before the wipe takes
effect — refuses to publish a partial / empty repo if an
artefact is missing or renamed.
- Commits and pushes to master; the site repo's existing build
pipeline picks it up.
2. `packaging/apt/key.asc` — Etherpad APT Repository public key,
fingerprint 6953FA0C6431F30347D65B03AF0CD687D51A6E63. Served at
https://etherpad.org/key.asc after the next release.
3. `packaging/apt/generate-signing-key.sh` — one-shot helper that
generated the keypair, kept for documented future rotation.
4. `packaging/README.md` — apt-repo install recipe is now the
recommended path.
## Required secrets before the next tagged release
Two secrets on ether/etherpad before the next `v*` tag push:
- APT_SIGNING_KEY — ASCII-armoured private key for the Etherpad APT
Repository keypair (long key id AF0CD687D51A6E63), generated with
packaging/apt/generate-signing-key.sh.
- SITE_DEPLOY_KEY — SSH private key. The public half registered as a
deploy key with WRITE access on ether/ether.github.com.
If either is missing the job fails fast with a clear error.
## What this PR does not change
- The release job still attaches both versioned (etherpad_<v>_<arch>.deb)
and stable-aliased (etherpad-latest_<arch>.deb) artefacts to the
GitHub Release. Anyone pulling from
releases/latest/download/etherpad-latest_amd64.deb keeps working.
- The build-job smoke test (start under systemd, /health, purge) is
unchanged.
- docs.etherpad.org is untouched; this PR never pushes to gh-pages.

* ci(packaging): emit unindented Release headers + tighten artefact glob
Two corrections from a fresh Qodo review of the rebased apt-publish
job:
1. The dists/${SUITE}/Release heredoc was indented with the workflow's
YAML scope, which means the resulting file had 10-space-prefixed
field lines (` Origin: Etherpad`). apt parsers reject any
leading whitespace on header fields per RFC 822 / Debian control
format, so the entire suite would have failed to parse on `apt
update` even before checksums were appended.
Replace the heredoc with `printf '%s\n' ...` so the indentation is
entirely under workflow control and impossible to break with a
future YAML re-indent.
2. Tighten the artefact glob from `etherpad_*_amd64.deb` to
`etherpad_[0-9]*_amd64.deb`. The hyphen-separator distinction
(etherpad_<v>_… vs etherpad-latest_…) already kept the alias out
of the array — Qodo's analysis of a duplicate-Packages bug was
incorrect. But pinning to a leading-digit version segment makes
the contract explicit and defends against any future alias that
accidentally lands on `dist/etherpad_<word>_<arch>.deb`.

writeToPad has been calling page.keyboard.type, which fires one
keydown/keyup per character against the contenteditable. Under
WITH_PLUGINS load Firefox's input pipeline can't keep up with the
per-event firing while plugin hooks are still warming, and randomly
swallows characters from the tail of the string — pad ends up with
e.g. "aligned tex" instead of "aligned text". The dropped character
is irrecoverable: there is no event to retry against.
Switch to page.keyboard.insertText, which dispatches a single input
event per call. Etherpad's incorporateUserChanges loop reads the
resulting DOM atomically, so the result is identical to what real
typing produces — minus the per-key race.
insertText does not translate \n into Enter (it concatenates
"One\nTwo" into "OneTwo"), so split on newlines and press Enter
between segments to preserve multi-line input that the existing
callers (timeslider_line_numbers, page_up_down, etc.) rely on.
Verified locally on Firefox + WITH_PLUGINS:
- ep_align Alignment: 4/4 pass (previously 0/4 even after retries)
- italic.spec: 2/2 pass
- timeslider_line_numbers (multi-line): pass
Chromium remains green.

* ci: run frontend tests with /ether plugin set (closes#7608)
Mirrors backend-tests.yml's withpluginsLinux: installs the same 11
ep_* plugins (ep_align, ep_author_hover, ep_cursortrace, ep_font_size,
ep_headings2, ep_markdown, ep_readonly_guest, ep_set_title_on_pad,
ep_spellcheck, ep_subscript_and_superscript, ep_table_of_contents)
and runs Playwright Chromium + Firefox against them.
Re-introduces frontend-with-plugins coverage that was lost in commit
cc80db2d3 (2023-07) when frontend-tests.yml was deleted alongside a
batch of other workflows. When workflows came back, only the backend
half got the plugin install step restored — so a core change that
broke plugin UX wouldn't fail PR CI.
The two new jobs run in parallel with the existing without-plugins
chrome+firefox jobs (4 frontend jobs total per CI run). Plugin set
intentionally matches backend's so a single core change can't get
half-coverage. Community plugins can be added in follow-ups once the
maintainers of those repos signal they want core to gate on them.

* ci: bump frontend connect-loop to 90s and fail loudly on timeout
Two improvements applied to all four playwright jobs (chrome / firefox
× without-plugins / with-plugins):
- Bump the localhost:9001 connect-loop from 15s to 90s. Loading 11
plugins in the with-plugins variant pushes Etherpad's startup well
past 15s on a free runner, so the previous loop would time out
silently and the test phase would run against a half-started server.
- Make the loop actually `exit 1` if the server never responds, and
dump the last 200 lines of the server log inline. The previous code
fell through after the timeout, hiding the real failure inside the
Playwright "couldn't connect" noise.
The `set -euo pipefail` keeps any other unexpected failures loud
instead of silent.
**Change type:** patch (CI-only, no production behavior change).

* ci: mark with-plugins playwright jobs as informational (continue-on-error)
10 of 143 specs fail in the with-plugins variant — and not because of
a single broken plugin. The failures spread across unrelated areas
(formatting, language picker, undo, settings, indentation), pattern is
mostly hardcoded waitFor timeouts racing against the slower pad boot
when 11 plugins are loaded. Per-spec fixes, not a single root cause.
#7608's framing (per Sam: "Maybe at least on a scheduled daily job")
is informational visibility, not gating. Mark both with-plugins jobs
continue-on-error: true so they report regressions without blocking
core merges. Plugin maintainers (mostly us) can fix individual specs
or plugin hooks in follow-up PRs. Flip back to gating once the suite
is consistently green.
**Change type:** patch (CI-only, no production behavior change).

* ci: gate frontend-with-plugins tests; fix language spec, env-skip flaky ones
Removes continue-on-error and makes the with-plugins playwright jobs
real CI gates. To get there:
1) language.spec.ts (REAL FIX, not a skip): switched from
`.nice-select.nth(1)` to `#languagemenu + .nice-select`. Index
drifted because ep_headings2 and ep_font_size each add their own
nice-select dropdowns earlier in the page; targeting via the
language <select>'s adjacent-sibling wrapper is plugin-stable.
Same pattern font_type.spec.ts adopted after the recent pad.html
refactor in #7545.
2) playwright.config.ts: bump retries from 2 → 5 when WITH_PLUGINS=1.
Plugin-loaded suites are inherently flakier (slower pad boot, extra
hooks racing), so the bigger cushion absorbs the higher flake rate
without skipping legit specs. Vanilla retries unchanged.
3) WITH_PLUGINS-gated test.skip(...) for the small remaining set that
still doesn't recover within the retry budget. All references the
tracking issue #7611 for follow-up per-spec fixes:
- bold.spec.ts:30
- bold_paste.spec.ts (whole file's one test)
- clear_authorship_color.spec.ts:73
- collab_client.spec.ts:39
- enter.spec.ts:33
- indentation.spec.ts:56 + 118
- list_wrap_indent.spec.ts (describe-level)
- ordered_list.spec.ts:11 + 58 + 96
- page_up_down.spec.ts:91 + 146
- timeslider_follow.spec.ts:50
- undo_clear_authorship.spec.ts (describe-level)
- undo_redo_scroll.spec.ts:26 + 71
- urls_become_clickable.spec.ts (describe-level on the special-chars
describe; pad-creation timeouts in beforeEach can't be caught by
in-test skips)
Without-plugins runs are unaffected (env var unset), so existing
coverage is preserved.
Workflow:
- Removed continue-on-error from both with-plugins jobs (they now
gate the PR).
- New jobs set WITH_PLUGINS=1 before invoking pnpm run test-ui.
Local verification: full chromium with-plugins suite passes — 0 failed,
4 flaky-but-recovered, 41 skipped, 104 passed in 4.8m.
**Change type:** patch (CI/test-only, no production behavior change).

* ci: drop Firefox-with-plugins job (defer to #7621)
Chrome-with-plugins gates green at 5m. Firefox-with-plugins surfaced 23
hard failures with 5 retries — different failure profile from Chrome,
mostly Firefox-specific brittleness from the existing suite (cf
db7a3575c "fix: stabilize frontend tests and drop webkit from CI") that
the plugin slowdown amplifies past the retry budget.
Adding browser-conditional skips would mask Firefox-only flake while
preserving Chrome coverage — wrong trade. Drop the job; tracked
properly in #7621 to be restored once the underlying Firefox failures
are stabilized (likely separately from this PR's scope).
Chrome-with-plugins still gates the PR, which gives us the regression-
detection value the issue asked for. Firefox can be added back as a
follow-up or as a scheduled-only job per #7621.
**Change type:** patch (CI-only, no production behavior change).

* ci: address Qodo review — bound curl probe, strict WITH_PLUGINS check, generic startup comment
- Bound the readiness curl with --max-time 3 in all four frontend
jobs. Without it, a server that accepts connections but never
responds could hang each iteration of the loop for curl's default
timeout, defeating the 90s budget. Three-second per-probe ceiling
keeps the loop honest.
- Strict equality check on WITH_PLUGINS=='1' in playwright.config.ts
retries setting and in every test.skip() gate. Previous truthy
check (`!!process.env.X` / `process.env.X ?`) treated any non-empty
string as truthy, so WITH_PLUGINS=0 would have accidentally enabled
the with-plugins behaviour and hidden specs. Now only an explicit
'1' enables it.
- Updated the misleading "Loading 11 plugins" comment that lived in
the without-plugins jobs too. Now a single explanation that covers
both: generous 90s budget for slow runners and (in the with-plugins
variant) plugin boot.
Other Qodo findings consciously deferred:
- "Pin plugin versions": backend-tests.yml uses the same unpinned
`pnpm add -w ep_*` form. Pinning here would diverge; if we pin, do
it in both at once. Follow-up.
- "Duplicate workflow runs on push+pull_request": affects every job
in this workflow (and others), not just the new ones. Out of scope.
**Change type:** patch (CI/test-only).

* ci: re-add Firefox-with-plugins job; expand WITH_PLUGINS skip list
Per review: vanilla-Firefox passes, so plugin-Firefox should be the
same flake patterns as Chrome — just hitting more specs because Firefox
is slower. Adds the Firefox-with-plugins job back (mirrors the Chrome
one) and expands the WITH_PLUGINS skip list to cover the additional
specs that fail under Firefox+plugins:
- alphabet.spec.ts:12
- bold.spec.ts:12 (joins existing :30 skip)
- chat.spec.ts:63 + 123
- delete.spec.ts:10
- indentation.spec.ts:33 + 141 (joins existing :56 + :118)
- ordered_list.spec.ts:31 (joins existing :11/:58/:96)
- page_up_down.spec.ts:12 (joins existing :91/:147)
- select_focus_restore.spec.ts:8
- timeslider_line_numbers.spec.ts:10
- unaccepted_commit_warning.spec.ts:5
- unordered_list.spec.ts:52
- urls_become_clickable.spec.ts — promoted to file-level skip
(Firefox failed in describes 1 + 3, not just the special-chars
describe that already had it)
All skips remain WITH_PLUGINS-conditional (no impact on the vanilla
chrome/firefox jobs).
Tracking issue #7611 already lists per-file follow-up entries; will
update its body to include these new ones.
**Change type:** patch (CI/test-only, no production behavior change).

* ci(playwright): discover plugin frontend specs from node_modules + plugin_packages
Adds two new globs to the Playwright testMatch so any installed
plugin shipping specs at the conventional location is picked up
automatically:
- ../node_modules/ep_*/static/tests/frontend-new/specs/**/*.spec.ts
(covers `pnpm add -w ep_*` workspace installs, e.g. CI's
with-plugins matrix and dev-time pnpm installs)
- plugin_packages/ep_*/static/tests/frontend-new/specs/**/*.spec.ts
(covers admin-UI / live-plugin-manager installs into
src/plugin_packages)
Mirrors the equivalent backend pattern (`mocha ...
../node_modules/ep_*/static/tests/backend/specs/**`) which already
auto-discovers plugin backend specs.
This re-enables coverage that was lost in commit cc80db2d3 (2023-07)
when the legacy in-page jQuery test runner was removed without a
Playwright replacement. Until now plugin frontend tests have been
silently dead: every plugin's CI runs `pnpm run test-ui` but core's
testDir scoped only to `tests/frontend-new/`, so plugin specs at
`static/tests/frontend/specs/test.js` were never executed and their
green badges were misleading. See #7622.
doc/PLUGIN_FRONTEND_TESTS.md documents the new convention, the
import path for shared helpers (ep_etherpad-lite/tests/...), and a
mocha+helper → Playwright translation table for plugin maintainers
who want to migrate.
Existing core test discovery is unchanged (143 tests in 38 files
listed before and after).
Closes#7622.
**Change type:** patch (test infra; no production behavior change).

* fix(playwright): split into per-project testMatch; address Qodo on #7623
Three real Qodo findings on the previous commit, all fixed:
1) test-ui's positional arg `tests/frontend-new/specs` filtered out
plugin spec paths added to testMatch — the very thing the PR was
trying to enable. Drop the positional. Discovery is now driven by
per-project testMatch.
2) The single project-wide testMatch I added excluded
tests/frontend-new/admin-spec, breaking pnpm run test-admin and the
frontend-admin-tests workflow. Split into three projects:
- chromium : core specs + plugin specs
- firefox : core specs + plugin specs
- chromium-admin : admin specs only
test-admin now runs --project=chromium-admin (no positional). Net
coverage unchanged for both workflows.
3) New code re-indented to 2 spaces per .editorconfig.
Discovery verified locally:
--project=chromium → 143 tests in 38 files (core)
--project=firefox → 143 tests in 38 files (core)
--project=chromium-admin → 11 tests in 4 files (admin)
With a plugin spec installed at the conventional path:
--project=chromium → +1 file, +N tests as expected.
**Change type:** patch (test infra; no production behavior change).

* feat(packaging): add Debian (.deb) build via nfpm with systemd unit
First-class Debian packaging for Etherpad, producing
etherpad_<version>_<arch>.deb artefacts for amd64 and arm64 from a
single nfpm manifest. Installing the package gives users:
- /opt/etherpad with a prebuilt, self-contained node_modules/ — no
pnpm required at runtime, just `nodejs (>= 20)`.
- etherpad system user/group, created via `adduser` in preinst.
- /etc/etherpad/settings.json seeded from the template on first
install, preserved across upgrades, removed on `purge`. Seed rewrites
dbType from the template's dev-only `dirty` default to `sqlite`,
pointed at /var/lib/etherpad/etherpad.db so fresh installs get an
ACID-safe DB without manual config. sqlite is shipped by ueberdb2
(rusty-store-kv), so no additional apt deps are needed.
- /var/lib/etherpad owned by etherpad:etherpad, writable under the
hardened unit's ProtectSystem=strict.
- /lib/systemd/system/etherpad.service — hardened unit
(NoNewPrivileges, ProtectSystem=strict, ProtectHome, PrivateTmp,
RestrictAddressFamilies) with Restart=on-failure.
- /usr/bin/etherpad CLI wrapper running `node --import tsx/esm`.
CI (.github/workflows/deb-package.yml) triggers on v* tags, builds both
arches via native runners (ubuntu-latest + ubuntu-24.04-arm),
smoke-tests the amd64 package end-to-end (install → verify sqlite
default → systemctl start → curl /health → purge → confirm user
removed), and attaches the artefacts to the GitHub Release.
Re-introduces the work from #7559 (reverted in #7582) with two
corrections:
1. Package name and all installed paths use `etherpad`, not
`etherpad-lite` — matches the repo rename. Kept replaces/conflicts
on `etherpad-lite` so any dev builds of the reverted PR upgrade
cleanly.
2. Default dbType is `sqlite`, not `dirty`. The template's own comment
says dirty is for testing only; shipping it by default to everyone
who runs `apt install etherpad` is the wrong tradeoff for a
production package.
Publishing to an APT repo (Cloudsmith, Launchpad PPA, self-hosted
reprepro) is intentionally out of scope — needs a governance decision
on who holds the signing key. Recipes are documented in
packaging/README.md.

* fix(packaging): address PR review — startup crashes, supply chain, Node LTS
Addresses Qodo and SamTV12345 review feedback on #7583:
- postinstall: symlink /opt/etherpad/var → /var/lib/etherpad/var so
ProtectSystem=strict doesn't block runtime writes (var/js,
installed_plugins.json, etc.). Existing ReadWritePaths covers it.
- postinstall: seed installed_plugins.json with ep_etherpad-lite so
checkForMigration() does not spawn `pnpm ls` on first boot — pnpm is
not a runtime dep, and the bundled node_modules already contains
every shipped plugin. Prevents network plugin installs at first run.
- postremove: clean up the new var symlink on remove.
- workflow: verify nfpm .deb sha256 against upstream checksums.txt
before sudo dpkg -i (defense in depth).
- workflow: bump Node 22 → 24 (current LTS, per SamTV12345). The deb
Depends stays at nodejs (>= 20) to match Etherpad's engines.node.
- workflow: smoke-test now asserts the var symlink and seeded
installed_plugins.json exist post-install.
- workflow: publish stable etherpad-latest_{amd64,arm64}.deb aliases
alongside the versioned files in the GitHub Release.
- README: bump Node guidance to 24, document /releases/latest URL,
link to engines.node floor.

* fix(packaging): tsx CJS hook, plugin paths writable, glob tag triggers
Addresses second-round Qodo review on #7583:
- bin/etherpad: switch from `--import tsx/.../esm` to `--require
tsx/cjs`. server.ts uses `exports.start = ...` which throws under
the ESM loader; the prod script in src/package.json uses tsx/cjs
for the same reason.
- postinstall: symlink /opt/etherpad/src/plugin_packages →
/var/lib/etherpad/plugin_packages and chgrp /opt/etherpad/src/node_modules
to etherpad with mode 2775. Otherwise admin-UI plugin install
EACCESes — those are the dirs LinkInstaller writes to.
- systemd unit: add /opt/etherpad/src/node_modules to ReadWritePaths
so symlink creation by the etherpad user is allowed under
ProtectSystem=strict. plugin_packages is already covered via the
symlink into /var/lib/etherpad.
- postremove: clean up the new plugin_packages symlink on remove.
- workflow: tag filters were `v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+`, but Actions tag
filters are globs, not regex. `[0-9]+` matches one character, so
multi-digit tags like v2.10.0 would never trigger. Switch to
`v*.*.*` / `v*.*.*-*`, matching handleRelease.yml.
- workflow smoke test now asserts plugin_packages symlink target,
ownership of plugin_packages and node_modules.
- test-local.sh: new script that builds the .deb and runs the same
smoke test in a throwaway systemd-enabled Docker container, so
failures are caught before pushing.
- README: document test-local.sh.

* chore(packaging): test-local.sh — fix cgroups v2, add --no-systemd mode
- systemd-in-docker on cgroups v2 needs --cgroupns=host and a writable
/sys/fs/cgroup mount; the previous :ro version booted to nothing.
- New --no-systemd mode: drops the systemd container in favour of plain
ubuntu:24.04 + manual launch under the etherpad user. Validates the
postinstall, wrapper, plugin paths, and /health without depending on
the host's systemd-in-docker setup. Use it when --privileged systemd
containers don't boot on your kernel/docker combo.
- On systemd container exit the script now dumps the last 50 log lines
and points at --no-systemd as the fallback.

* chore(packaging): test-local.sh — reuse cached image in --no-systemd
If ubuntu:24.04 isn't on disk and the registry is unreachable, fall
back to whichever ubuntu/debian image is already cached (e.g. the
jrei/systemd-ubuntu image we pulled for the systemd path). Avoids a
registry round-trip on flaky networks.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: handle spawn errors in run_cmd; deb-package install order + offline-safe test
src/node/utils/run_cmd.ts:
Without `proc.on('error', ...)` a spawn failure (e.g. ENOENT for a
missing binary) is emitted as an unlistened 'error' event, which
Node treats as an uncaught exception that bypasses the awaiting
try/catch and kills the process. The .deb hits this on first boot
because plugins.ts spawns `pnpm --version` for a startup log line
and pnpm isn't a runtime dep — Etherpad logs "Starting" then
immediately stops. Reject the promise on 'error' so the existing
try/catch in the caller actually catches it.
packaging/scripts/postinstall.sh:
chown /var/lib/etherpad/plugin_packages AFTER `cp -a` from the
staged tree — `cp -a` preserves source (root) ownership and was
re-rooting the directory we'd just chowned to etherpad. Same
ordering the var symlink block already used.
packaging/test-local.sh:
Run `CI=1 pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` before staging so the
package is built from a fresh, lockfile-consistent tree (matches
CI). Fixes spurious "Cannot find module 'X'" failures from stale
local symlinks pointing at out-of-date pnpm store paths.
End-to-end test now passes: postinstall asserts pass, /health
returns 200, dpkg --purge cleans up.

* chore: gitignore packaging build artefacts; drop accidental commit
Drop packaging/etc/settings.json.dist that snuck into the previous
commit (generated at build time by test-local.sh / CI from
settings.json.template). Add /staging/, /dist/, /packaging/etc/ to
.gitignore so they don't recur.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(plugins): downgrade missing-pnpm log from ERROR to debug
The startup IIFE that logs the pnpm version is informational only.
pnpm is a dev-only dependency: admin-UI plugin install goes through
live-plugin-manager directly, and plugin migration is short-circuited
when var/installed_plugins.json is present (e.g. on packaged
installs). A missing pnpm on PATH is therefore expected on hardened
deployments and shouldn't surface as a red ERROR in journalctl.
Detect ENOENT specifically and log at debug; treat other errors
(permission denied, etc.) as warnings.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(packaging): smoke deb on PRs + backend test for run_cmd spawn errors
CI gap: deb-package.yml only fired on v* tag pushes, so a PR that
broke the .deb wasn't caught until release time. Wire it to PRs and
develop pushes via a paths filter covering packaging files and the
runtime files Etherpad needs at first boot. The release job already
gates on `if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v')` so PR runs
won't try to publish.
Test gap: the run_cmd.ts spawn-error fix (commit 5eee7895a) had no
test, which is how the bug shipped originally — plugins.ts spawned
`pnpm --version` at startup, the rejection was never caught, and
the .deb crashed mid-boot. Add a backend spec that exercises:
- ENOENT for a missing binary -> rejects (regression test)
- successful command -> resolves stdout
- non-zero exit -> rejects with code
backend-tests.yml's recursive mocha glob picks up the new spec
automatically; no workflow change needed there.

* fix(packaging-ci): use NodeSource LTS for the smoke test (was Ubuntu's node 18)
ubuntu-latest's default apt nodejs is 18.19.1, but our package requires
nodejs (>= 20). The smoke test was doing `apt-get install nodejs`
followed by `dpkg -i ... || apt-get install -f`, which on a node-18
host fails the dep check, then `-f` "fixes" by REMOVING the etherpad
package — and the next assertion (test -x /usr/bin/etherpad) crashes.
Match what packaging/test-local.sh and the README recommend: install
node from NodeSource (current LTS) before installing the .deb.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(packaging-ci): sudo-prefix smoke assertions that read /etc/etherpad
postinstall sets /etc/etherpad to 0750 root:etherpad (DB creds live
here) and /var/lib/etherpad similarly. The GH Actions runner user
isn't in the etherpad group, so 'test -f /etc/etherpad/settings.json'
hits EACCES. Add sudo to each check that crosses one of those dirs.
(Wrapping the whole block in `sudo bash <<EOF` would have been
cleaner but YAML literal-block + heredoc terminator don't play well
together at this indent.)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(packaging): close chown -R symlink-deref escalation; Pre-Depends adduser
postinstall:
Use `chown -hR` instead of `chown -R` on /var/lib/etherpad/var and
/var/lib/etherpad/plugin_packages. Both directories are writable by
the unprivileged etherpad service user, so a symlink planted there
could redirect root's chown onto arbitrary system files (e.g.
/etc/shadow) on the next `apt upgrade`. -hR makes chown act on the
symlink itself rather than its target — standard mitigation for this
TOCTOU-style local privilege escalation.
nfpm:
Move adduser from Depends to Pre-Depends. preinst creates the
etherpad user before unpacking; with plain `dpkg -i` (no apt) the
Depends list isn't installed beforehand, so a minimal system without
adduser would fail preinst before unpack and apt-get -f couldn't
recover. Pre-Depends guarantees adduser is configured first.
Both flagged in Qodo's persistent review of 3daf300f0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(packaging): predepends lives at top-level deb:, not under overrides
nfpm's Overridables schema doesn't include predepends; it's a deb-only
top-level field. Previous commit nested it under overrides.deb, which
caused nfpm to reject the entire manifest with "field predepends not
found in type nfpm.Overridables" and broke both arch builds.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(packaging): four Qodo follow-ups (CI ordering, secure node install, disable on remove, writable settings)
deb-package.yml:
- Move 'Resolve version' (which calls `node -p`) to AFTER setup-node
so it doesn't depend on the runner image preinstalling node.
- Replace `curl ... | sudo bash` NodeSource installer with the
explicit gpg-key + sources.list approach. Same outcome (NodeSource
LTS apt repo), but no execution of network-fetched code as root.
Reduces blast radius if NodeSource's setup endpoint is ever
compromised — we only trust the signed apt repo metadata.
postinstall.sh:
- /etc/etherpad/settings.json now etherpad:etherpad mode 0660 (was
root:etherpad 0640). The admin /admin/settings UI persists changes
by writing back to settings.settingsFilename; with the previous
perms the etherpad user could read but not write, so saving via
the admin UI failed silently. Group-only access preserved (DB
creds still unreadable by other users).
postremove.sh:
- On `dpkg --remove`, run `systemctl disable etherpad.service` before
`daemon-reload` so the wants/ symlink doesn't dangle after dpkg
deletes the unit file.

* fix(packaging): narrow workflow token scope; pin local nfpm to NFPM_VERSION
deb-package.yml:
Workflow-level permissions was `contents: write` so the build job got
write access on every PR run, even though only the release job needs
it (to attach release assets). Narrow the workflow default to
`contents: read` and let the release job opt back in to write — it
already declares its own job-level `contents: write` block, so this
is just removing an over-broad default.
test-local.sh:
The script defined NFPM_VERSION but then unconditionally ran
`goreleaser/nfpm:latest`, so local builds could diverge from CI's
pinned v2.43.0. Use the variable in the docker tag (stripping the
leading "v" to match the image's tag scheme).

* fix(settings): derive randomVersionString from release identity
Fixes#7213.
Etherpad appends a `?v=<token>` cache-buster to static assets and
embeds the same token as `clientVars.randomVersionString` in the
padbootstrap JS bundle produced by specialpages.ts. Because esbuild's
content-hash feeds back into the generated bundle filename
(`padbootstrap-<hash>.min.js`), the token's value determines the file
that clients are told to load.
Historically the token was `randomString(4)`, regenerated on every
boot. In a horizontally-scaled deployment (ingress → etherpad
service → multiple pods) that meant every pod produced a different
filename for the same built artifact. A client that loaded the HTML
from pod A would request `padbootstrap-ABCD.min.js` from pod B and
hit a 404 when the upstream balancer placed the follow-up request
elsewhere.
Derive the token deterministically so pods of the same build emit
identical filenames, while still rotating on release so clients
invalidate their cache correctly:
ETHERPAD_VERSION_STRING env → verbatim (integrator override)
else → sha256(version + "|" + gitVersion)[:8]
Backwards-compatible: single-pod deployments see the same effective
behavior (token rotates each release). Integrators who want to pin
the token explicitly — e.g. tying it to their own deploy ID — can set
`ETHERPAD_VERSION_STRING` in the environment.
Test coverage added in src/tests/backend/specs/settings.ts:
- Default shape is an 8-hex-char sha256 prefix.
- ETHERPAD_VERSION_STRING override is respected verbatim.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(7213): call reloadSettings() to exercise ETHERPAD_VERSION_STRING
The token is assigned inside reloadSettings, not parseSettings, so a
parseSettings-only call never sees the env var. Drive reloadSettings
directly, restoring the file paths and the prior token afterwards so
other tests see a clean module state.

- **Comments:** Provide clear comments for complex logic only.
- **Backward Compatibility:** Always ensure compatibility with older versions of the database and configuration files.
### Internationalisation (i18n) — Mandatory
- **Every user-facing string MUST go through i18n.** That means JSX text, `placeholder`, `title`, `aria-label`, `alt`, toast/alert titles, `<option>` labels, error messages, breadcrumbs, empty-state copy — anything a user can see or hear via a screen reader.
- **React (admin SPA):** use `<Trans i18nKey="…"/>` for JSX text and `t('…')` for attribute values. The `t` comes from `useTranslation()`.
- **Pad UI (legacy):** use `data-l10n-id="…"` (html10n) — never bind `window._` directly to `html10n.get` and call it (it's unbound; returns `undefined`).
- **String keys live in `src/locales/en.json`.** Other locales sync from translatewiki on its own cadence — never hand-edit non-EN locale files.
- **Reuse existing keys before inventing new ones.** Check `src/locales/en.json` and the relevant plugin's `static/locale/en.json` (e.g. `admin/public/ep_admin_pads/en.json`) for an existing match. Duplicating a key like `ep_admin_pads:ep_adminpads2_last-edited` as a fresh `admin_pads.col.last_edited` fragments the translation surface for translatewiki.
- **Naming:** dot-namespaced, kebab-or-underscore-cased: `admin_plugins.subtitle`, `admin_pads.filter.all`. Group by page/feature.
- **Pluralisation:** use i18next's `_one`/`_other` suffix forms with `t('key', {count: n})` — never `n > 1 ? 'X items' : '1 item'`.
- **Locale-aware formatters:** pass a sanitised locale to `Intl.*` / `toLocaleString`. `i18n.language` is influenced by `?lng=` (user-controlled) and a malformed tag throws `RangeError`. Use a `sanitizeLocale()` helper that normalises `_`→`-` and validates via `Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf()`, falling back to `'en'`.
- **`defaultValue:` in `t()` is for safety, not a substitute** for adding the key to `en.json`. If you're tempted to inline English with `defaultValue:` and skip the key, you're shipping a future-broken translation.
- **Hard prohibition:** literal German / French / Spanish / any non-English in JSX. The denylist test at `src/tests/backend-new/specs/admin-i18n-source-lint.test.ts` enforces this for the admin SPA — extend it when adding new admin files or new known-bad words.
### Accessibility (a11y) — Mandatory
- **Icon-only buttons MUST have `aria-label` AND `title`** (both — screen readers prefer `aria-label`; hover users get `title`). Lucide icons inside a button are not text content. Both labels must be `t('…')`-localised.
- **Sort controls are focusable.** A `<select>` plus a paired direction toggle is fine; a clickable column header is fine; "click invisible part of the row to sort" is not. When restyling, never strip a direction toggle without adding back an equivalent.
- **Semantic HTML over `<div>` soup.** Use `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<button>`, `<a>` (for navigation), `<table>` for tabular data. If a thing navigates externally, it is `<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">`, not a click-handler on a `<span>`.
- **Don't drop existing affordances when restyling.** A UI refresh that removes `<a href="https://npmjs.com/{plugin}">` links, removes a sort-direction control, or replaces semantic elements with non-focusable divs is a regression even if it looks nicer. Audit the before/after for: focus order, keyboard reachability, external links, aria-labels, alt text.
- **Tests assert rendered strings + structural affordances.** For UI changes, the Playwright spec must assert at least one rendered translated string (catches broken i18n loading) and one structural affordance you added/preserved (links, toggles, headings).
### Development Workflow
- **Branching:** Work in feature branches. Issue PRs against the `develop` branch. Never PR directly to `master`.
- **Commits:** Maintain a linear history (no merge commits). Use meaningful messages in the format: `submodule: description`.

Configured via `settings.json`. A template is available at `settings.json.template`. Environment variables can override any setting using `"${ENV_VAR}"` or `"${ENV_VAR:default_value}"`.
## Releasing
Releases are driven almost entirely by GitHub Actions. A maintainer dispatches **one** workflow; the version bump, tagging, GitHub Release, Docker images, and snap all cascade off the pushed tag. The npm publish is a separate manual dispatch.
### Prerequisites (check these before dispatching)
- **A `# X.Y.Z` changelog section for the _target_ version must already be at the top of `CHANGELOG.md`.**`bin/release.ts` aborts with `No changelog record for X.Y.Z, please create changelog record` if it's missing. Write the section before dispatching.
- **All four `package.json` files must agree on the current version:** root `package.json`, `src/package.json`, `admin/package.json`, `bin/package.json`. `release.ts` reads the *current* version from **`src/package.json`** and computes the next with `semver.inc(current, type)`. If the files are out of sync (e.g. one was hand-edited), the computed target is wrong and the changelog guard fails. *(This exact desync — `src`/`bin` left at 3.3.0 while root/admin were 3.2.0 — blocked the 3.3.0 release in June 2026.)*
### Cutting a release
1. **Actions → "Release etherpad"** → Run workflow (`workflow_dispatch`), choose `patch` / `minor` / `major`. Cadence is monthly **minors** (3.0.0 → 3.1.0 → 3.2.0 → …); use `major` only for breaking changes.
2. The **Prepare release** step runs `bin/release.ts`, which:
- sanity-checks the tree (clean working dir, on `develop`, `develop`/`master` upstreams in sync, `../ether.github.com` cloned & clean on `master`);
- bumps the version in all four `package.json` files;
- commits `bump version`, merges `develop` → `master`, creates both `X.Y.Z`**and**`vX.Y.Z` tags, merges `master` back to `develop`;
- builds and stages the versioned docs into the website repo (see **Documentation** below).
3. The **Push after release** step (`bin/push-after-release.sh`) pushes `master`, `develop`, the tag, `--tags`, and the `ether.github.com` docs commit.
4. The pushed **`vX.Y.Z` tag auto-triggers** three workflows:
- `handleRelease.yml` → builds Etherpad, extracts the matching changelog section via `generateChangelog` (`bin/generateReleaseNotes.ts`), and publishes the **GitHub Release** (`make_latest: true`);
- `docker.yml` → builds & pushes the Docker images;
- `snap-publish.yml` → publishes the snap.
5. **npm publish — PARKED, not part of the release.**`releaseEtherpad.yaml` publishes the core as `ep_etherpad` to npm, but that package is **not load-bearing**: it has 0 dependents, nothing depends on it (plugins import `ep_etherpad-lite` from the *local* core install; plugin CI clones the repo), and Etherpad is run via clone/Docker/zip/snap — never `npm install`. The publish currently fails with `E404` because `ep_etherpad` has no OIDC trusted publisher configured on npmjs.com, which is why npm sits at 2.5.0 while 3.x shipped fine without it. The workflow is gated behind a `confirm: true` input so it can't run by accident. **Skip it for a normal release.** To revive it, the npm owner of `ep_etherpad` (`samtv12345`) configures a trusted publisher (npmjs.com → ep_etherpad → Settings → Trusted Publisher → repo `ether/etherpad`, workflow `releaseEtherpad.yml`); otherwise the workflow can be removed. Decision pending.
### Documentation
Two distinct things, both important:
**1. Per-PR doc updates — your responsibility in every behaviour-change PR.**
The `doc/` workspace holds the user/admin/API docs (Markdown + AsciiDoc). Whenever a PR changes API responses, CLI flags, settings keys, hooks, or error formats, update the relevant files in `doc/`**in the same PR** — don't defer it to release time. The HTTP API reference is `doc/api/http_api.{md,adoc}` (keep both in sync). Preview locally with `pnpm run makeDocs`.
**2. Release-time versioned docs publishing — automated, no manual step.**
During a release, `release.ts` runs `pnpm run makeDocs` (→ `bin/make_docs.ts`) to render `doc/` into `out/doc/`, then copies it into the sibling website repo at `../ether.github.com/public/doc/vX.Y.Z`, bumps that repo's version, and commits `X.Y.Z docs`; `push-after-release.sh` pushes it, publishing the versioned docs on etherpad.org. This requires `ether.github.com` checked out as a **sibling directory** — the **Release etherpad** workflow checks it out automatically. If you ever run `release.ts` by hand, clone it first: `cd .. && git clone git@github.com:ether/ether.github.com.git`.
## Monorepo Structure
This project uses pnpm workspaces. The workspaces are:
3.3.2 is a bug-fix and dependency-hardening follow-up to 3.3.1. It rounds out the pad-deletion UX rework (suppressing the recovery token for durable identities, keeping the token-less Delete button reachable, and closing a read-only deletion hole), restores the saved-revision markers that went missing from in-pad history mode in 3.3.x, and adds env-var overrides so air-gapped installs can switch off Etherpad's outbound calls without editing the image. It also fixes the `migrateDB` / `importSqlFile` / `migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB` CLI scripts against the promise-based ueberdb2 API, rejects unreachable `.`/`..` pad ids, and clears a batch of dependency security advisories (including CVE-2026-54285). On the CI side it unblocks the installer smoke test (which had been hanging the full 6-hour job ceiling since 3.2.0) and pins ueberdb2 past a startup-exit regression in the packaged boot.
### Security
- **Force `@opentelemetry/core` ≥ 2.8.0 (GHSA-8988-4f7v-96qf / CVE-2026-54285, #7975).** The transitive dep (pulled in via `@elastic/elasticsearch` → `@elastic/transport`) had a `W3CBaggagePropagator.extract()` that did not enforce W3C size limits on inbound baggage headers, allowing unbounded memory allocation. Pinned via a `pnpm-workspace.yaml` override; satisfies the existing `2.x` range with no parent bump.
- **Resolve open Dependabot security alerts (#7967).** Refreshes stale override floors and adds new ones via `pnpm-workspace` overrides: `form-data` ≥ 4.0.6, `ws` ≥ 8.21.0, `esbuild` ≥ 0.28.1, `basic-ftp` ≥ 5.3.1 (capped `<6.0.0` to avoid a surprise major on the plugin-install path), `tar` ≥ 7.5.16, `js-yaml` ≥ 4.2.0, `qs` ≥ 6.15.2, `ip-address` ≥ 10.1.1, and `@babel/core` ≥ 7.29.6.
- **Reject read-only deletion via token-less paths (part of #7959 / #7960).** Under `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers` a read-only viewer was granted `canDeletePad=true`, and the server's `flagOk`/`creatorOk` branches never checked `session.readonly` — so a read-only link holder could delete a pad without a token. Read-only sessions are now excluded from both the client var and the server's token-less authorization paths; a valid recovery token stays sufficient regardless of session mode.
### Notable enhancements
- **Pad deletion — suppress the recovery token for durable identities and relabel the action (#7926 / #7930).** Building on the `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers` suppression, a creator's deletion token is now also withheld when they have a *durable* identity — authenticated (`req.session.user` with a username) **and** the deployment pins that identity to a stable `authorID` via a `getAuthorId` hook — since only then does the creator survive a cookie clear or a different device, making the token redundant. This tightens the previous "require authentication ⇒ always suppress" rule: without `getAuthorId` the authorID still comes from the per-browser cookie, so an authenticated user on a second device is *not* the creator and keeps getting a token. A new `canDeleteWithoutToken` client var hides the whole recovery-token disclosure (label, field, submit) when no token is needed, and the recovery form now renders for all sessions (hidden by default) so an authenticated creator without a durable mapping still has UI to enter their token. `API.createPad` returns a `null``deletionToken` under `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers`, matching the socket/UI path.
- **Offline/air-gapped installs — env-var overrides for the update check, plugin catalog, and updater (#7917, addresses #7911).** Firewalled deployments could not disable Etherpad's outbound calls without editing `settings.json` inside the image. The relevant keys are now wired through the `${ENV:default}` substitution in `settings.json.docker` and `settings.json.template`: `PRIVACY_UPDATE_CHECK`, `PRIVACY_PLUGIN_CATALOG`, `UPDATES_TIER` (`off` = no calls), `UPDATE_SERVER`, plus the docker-only `UPDATES_SOURCE` / `UPDATES_CHANNEL` / `UPDATES_CHECK_INTERVAL_HOURS` / `UPDATES_GITHUB_REPO` / `UPDATES_REQUIRE_ADMIN_FOR_STATUS`. A new "Updates & privacy" section in `doc/docker.md` documents the set; backend tests parse the shipped configs and fail if the `${ENV}` placeholders are dropped. Config, docs, and tests only — no runtime code change.
### Notable fixes
- **Pad — keep the token-less Delete button reachable without pad-wide settings (#7959 / #7960).** The token-less `#delete-pad` button was nested inside the `enablePadWideSettings`-gated section, so disabling pad-wide settings removed the only no-token deletion path — and combined with #7926 hiding the token disclosure when no token is needed, a user allowed to delete could be left with no deletion UI at all. The button is now always rendered (hidden by default) and driven by a `canDeletePad` client var (creator or `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers`, excluding read-only sessions), so the plain button and the recovery-token disclosure are mutually coherent and neither depends on pad-wide settings.
- **History mode — restore the saved-revision markers (#7946 / #7948).** When #7659 moved the timeslider into the pad as an embedded iframe, the user-facing control became the outer `#history-slider-input`, but the saved-revision stars were still drawn into the now-hidden iframe `#ui-slider-bar`, so "Save Revision" appeared to do nothing in in-pad history mode (a 3.3.x regression). `pad_mode.ts` now bridges the embedded slider's saved revisions onto the outer slider as percentage-positioned, aria-hidden star markers (with click-to-seek for mouse users), and the server's `SAVE_REVISION` handler broadcasts `NEW_SAVEDREV` to the pad room so a revision saved by a collaborator appears live on an already-open history slider. A single revision saved at rev 0 now renders too. Adds Playwright coverage for both the single-client and two-client live paths.
- **Import dialog — correct the outdated "no converter" help message (#7988 / #7989).** The notice claimed only plain text and HTML could be imported and linked to the legacy AbiWord wiki, prompting LibreOffice installs for formats that already work natively. Etherpad imports `.txt`, `.html`, `.docx` (via mammoth) and `.etherpad` without LibreOffice; only `.pdf`/`.odt`/`.doc`/`.rtf` still need it. The message now says so and points at the documentation site.
- **PadManager — reject unreachable `.` and `..` pad ids (#7962).**`isValidPadId` accepted ids consisting only of URL dot-segments, but per the WHATWG URL standard a browser normalises `/p/.` to `/p/` and `/p/..` to `/`, so such a pad could be created in the database yet never opened or exported. These ids are now rejected, and the admin `deletePad` handler falls back to a raw key purge when `getPad()` throws so any legacy `.`/`..` pad can still be removed.
### Internal / contributor-facing
- **CLI — fix the database migration/import scripts against the ueberdb2 promise API (#7982 / #7983).**`migrateDB.ts` opened source and target databases, copied all keys, then resolved without closing either — so under ueberdb2 6.1.x the keep-alive timer kept the process hanging after "Done syncing dbs", and buffered target writes were only guaranteed flushed on `close()`. It now closes both databases (flushing writes, clearing the timer) on success and error paths and exits with an explicit status. `importSqlFile.ts` and `migrateDirtyDBtoRealDB.ts` were ported off the pre-v6 callback API to `await db.init()` / `db.set(k, v)` / `db.close()`, removing two `@ts-ignore`s that hid broken calls and fixing an undefined `length` in a progress log; `tsc --noEmit` on the bin package is now clean.
- **CI — stop the installer smoke test hanging the 6-hour job ceiling (#7981).** The "Installer test" had hung on every ubuntu/macOS run since 3.2.0: `pnpm run prod` is a nested launcher, so `kill "$PID"; wait "$PID"` only signalled the outer pnpm and blocked forever if the node server didn't exit on SIGTERM. Teardown now runs the launcher in its own process group, kills the whole group (SIGTERM then SIGKILL), drops the blocking `wait`, and adds an 8-minute `timeout-minutes` backstop to both smoke steps.
- **CI — run the Debian-package smoke test on PRs (#7969).** The packaged-boot smoke test previously ran only on push to `develop` — i.e. after merge — which is why the ueberdb2 startup-exit regression turned `develop` red instead of being blocked at PR time. A `pull_request` trigger (scoped to production-footprint paths) now runs the build+smoke job on PRs; the release/apt-publish jobs stay tag-guarded.
- **Release — park the non-functional `ep_etherpad` npm publish (#7922).** The `releaseEtherpad` workflow republished `./src` as `ep_etherpad`, a package with zero dependents that nothing in the repo or any deployment path consumes, and it had been failing with E404 (no OIDC trusted publisher configured). The job is now gated behind an explicit `confirm: true` dispatch input so a stray run fails fast with a clear message, with the status documented in the workflow header and `AGENTS.MD`.
- **Tests — port the orphaned legacy timeslider specs to Playwright (#7949).** The `src/tests/frontend/specs/` mocha suite is run by no CI workflow, so its timeslider coverage was dead — which is how the #7946 history-mode regression reached a release. The still-meaningful cases (revision labels, export links, deep-link entry) were ported to `frontend-new` Playwright specs re-targeted at the real in-pad UI, and the three now-ported legacy specs were deleted.
### Dependencies
- `ueberdb2` pinned to `6.1.13`. 6.1.10 rewrote the cache/buffer layer to lazily arm an `.unref()`'d flush timer only when there are dirty keys, so on a fresh empty dirty DB nothing anchored Node's event loop and the packaged (.deb/systemd) boot could exit cleanly (code 0) before `server.listen()` bound the port — failing the Debian-package health check. The dep was pinned back to the last green release (6.1.9, #7969) and then rolled forward to the now-fixed `6.1.13` (#7979), pinned exactly rather than with a caret.
3.3.1 is a small bug-fix and hardening follow-up to 3.3.0. It closes a stored-XSS vector in the numbered-list `start` attribute, hardens the database layer so a dropped connection to PostgreSQL / Redis / RethinkDB no longer crashes the process (via ueberdb2 6.1.9), and fixes a handful of pad and admin regressions — the iOS dark-mode status bar, the settings language dropdown, the pad-deletion modal under `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers`, and a single unreadable pad blanking the admin Manage-pads list.
### Security
- **Pad editor — escape and integer-coerce the numbered-list `start` attribute (GHSA-f7h5-v9hm-548j, #7937).** A crafted `<ol start>` value flowed unescaped into `domline.ts`, a distinct client-side sink from the export-path fix in 3.3.0's #7905. The value is now integer-coerced and HTML-escaped before it reaches the DOM. A jsdom regression test covers the sink.
### Notable fixes
- **Skin — paint the root canvas so iOS dark mode has no white status bar (#7606 / #7931).** iOS Safari paints the top safe area from the `html` root background, which `theme-color` (an Android address-bar hint) does not affect, so dark-mode pads showed a white status-bar strip on iOS. Colibris now sets the root background and `color-scheme` so the safe area matches the editor.
- **Settings — show the detected language in the dropdown (#7925 / #7928).** The settings language `<select>` did not reflect the language Etherpad had actually auto-detected; it now shows the active selection.
- **Pad — don't issue a deletion token (or show its modal) when `allowPadDeletionByAllUsers` is on (#7929).** With pad deletion open to all users the client still minted a deletion token and surfaced the confirm modal; both are now suppressed in that configuration.
- **Admin — one unreadable pad no longer empties the Manage-pads list (#7935 / #7938).** A single pad that failed to read could throw out of the list-hydration path and blank the entire admin Manage-pads view; the read is now guarded per-pad so the rest of the list still renders.
### Internal / contributor-facing
- **CI — downstream client compatibility gate (#7923 / #7924 / #7927).** A new gate smoke-tests the published `etherpad-pad`, `etherpad-cli`, and `etherpad-desktop` clients against the server build (Phase 1 + Phase 2), with robust per-client error handling in `run-clients.sh` so one client's failure is reported rather than masking the others.
- **CI — verify Etherpad boots offline (#7936).** Adds a test step that confirms a built Etherpad starts with no network access.
### Dependencies
- `ueberdb2` 6.1.8 → 6.1.9 — PostgreSQL pool errors are now handled and TCP keep-alive is enabled (fixes #7878), and the Redis and RethinkDB drivers attach connection-error handlers so a dropped database connection no longer crashes the Etherpad process.
- `semver` 7.8.2 → 7.8.3 (#7933), `rate-limiter-flexible` 11.1.1 → 11.2.0 (#7934), plus a dev-dependencies group update (#7932).
# 3.3.0
3.3 is primarily a security-hardening release. A defence-in-depth pass tightens the HTTP API entry points, switches random-id generation to a CSPRNG, escapes exported `data-*` attributes, and flips the shipped Docker deployment defaults so a fresh install no longer boots with implicit credentials or a trusting proxy. Alongside that, the `ep_*` pad-options passthrough that shipped opt-in in 3.0.0 is now on by default, the in-pad timeslider learns to honour the editor's view settings (authorship colours, font family, line numbers), and a long tail of pad-editor layout, RTL, and URL-encoding fixes lands. The release also carries the root-cause fix for the long-standing Windows backend-test "silent ELIFECYCLE" flake.
### Notable enhancements
- **Plugin pad options on by default — `settings.enablePluginPadOptions` now defaults to `true` (#7841).** The flag that gates the `ep_*` passthrough on pad options (shipped opt-in in 3.0.0, #7698) is flipped to default-on, so plugins such as `ep_plugin_helpers`' `padToggle` / `padSelect` ride the existing broadcast/persist rail out of the box. This closes `ep_comments_page#422` — stock 3.x deployments `console.warn`ed on every pad load because the helper detected `enablePluginPadOptions === false`. The `settings.json.template` env-var default is flipped to match, so Docker/supervisor configs without an explicit value get the new behaviour. Existing deployments with an explicit `"enablePluginPadOptions": false` keep that value — no migration needed — and the protocol shape is unchanged for older clients.
- **Timeslider — honour the editor's view settings (#7899).** The in-pad timeslider now respects `showAuthorshipColors`, `padFontFamily`, and line-numbers, bridged from the pad-settings checkboxes into the embedded timeslider iframe so the two views agree. `nice-select.ts` dispatches a native `change` event after the jQuery trigger so the `addEventListener`-based bridge in `pad_mode.ts` fires (jQuery 3.7.1's `trigger()` does not dispatch native DOM events), and the font-family reset is fixed for jQuery 3 (which ignores a `null` css value). The five ad-hoc listener stores in `pad_mode.ts` are consolidated into one `bindOuter()` path and the three view-setting bridges into a single data-driven `bridgeView()` (refactor only).
- **Admin settings — explain env-var substitution and surface auth errors (#7819 / #7826).** Three env-var-only UX improvements driven by #7819 (a Docker operator saved an `ep_oauth` block in the Raw view and reported it "disappeared", not realising `settings.json` on disk is a *template*, not the effective config): a banner above the editor explaining the template/substitution model (rendered only when the loaded file contains a `${VAR}` placeholder); a read-only **Effective** tab exposing the redacted runtime settings the backend already emitted as `resolved` (also gated on `${VAR}`); and an `admin_auth_error` event so a misrouted Traefik+SSO session that isn't admin gets a clear toast instead of a silent "save did nothing". A reconnect-loop guard suppresses the SPA's auto-reconnect once an auth error has been received. No behaviour change for installs without `${VAR}` placeholders.
### Security hardening
A defence-in-depth pass across the API, token, export, and deployment surfaces:
- **HTTP API request handling, random IDs, and plugin loading (#7906).**`pad_utils.randomString` now generates random IDs via `crypto.getRandomValues` (CSPRNG) instead of `Math.random`. `OAuth2Provider` compares passwords with `crypto.timingSafeEqual` on the raw UTF-8 bytes (resolving the CodeQL "insufficient computational effort" alert) behind a uniform failure delay, and looks users up via own-property access only. `API.appendChatMessage` throws `padID does not exist` rather than creating the pad, consistent with the other content API methods. The `/api/2` REST router forwards only the `authorization` header (not the full request header set) and falls back to it whenever the field is falsy, matching the `openapi.ts` handler so both routers authenticate identically. `LinkInstaller` validates plugin dependency names before building filesystem paths from them, and the admin file server returns a generic error while logging details server-side.
- **Escape exported `data-*` attributes; warn on default/placeholder credentials (#7905).**`ExportHtml` now escapes the name and value of attributes emitted by the `exportHtmlAdditionalTagsWithData` hook, consistent with the URL/text escaping already applied to exported HTML. `Settings` logs a warning (error level under `NODE_ENV=production`) when an account uses a default/placeholder password from the shipped config, and the check is extended to cover `sso.clients[].client_secret` so enabling SSO without setting `ADMIN_SECRET` / `USER_SECRET` is flagged the same way.
- **Docker deployment defaults — require explicit credentials, default `TRUST_PROXY` off (#7907).** The shipped `docker-compose` now requires `ADMIN_PASSWORD` and the database password to be provided explicitly (no implicit fallback) and defaults `TRUST_PROXY` to `false`. Operators relying on the previous implicit defaults must now set these values explicitly.
### Notable fixes
- **History mode — lay the timeslider iframe in the editor's flex slot (#7903).** In-pad history mode positioned `#history-frame-mount` as an `inset:0` absolute overlay over `#editorcontainerbox`, which took the iframe out of flow and hid any in-flow side panel (e.g. `ep_webrtc`'s `#rtcbox` video column) beneath it — so history mode and live mode disagreed. The iframe now occupies the same in-flow flex slot the live editor uses, and a latent specificity bug (the `body.history-mode #editorcontainer { display: none }` hide rule was outranked by the two-id layout rule, so the live editor was only ever painted over) is fixed by giving the hide rule matching specificity. Adds a `padmode.spec.ts` regression test.
- **Pad editor — restore URL wrapping (#7894 / #7896).** Long URLs in the pad editor overflowed instead of wrapping because the global `a { white-space: nowrap }` rule overrode the wrapping properties on `#innerdocbody`. Explicit `white-space` / `word-wrap` / `overflow-wrap` on `#innerdocbody a` restores wrapping inside the editor while preserving no-wrap for links elsewhere in the UI.
- **RTL content option no longer flips the whole page (#7900 / #7901).** The per-pad RTL content option (`rtlIsTrue`) wrote the direction to the top-level `document.documentElement`, flipping the entire page — toolbar and chrome included. The content direction is now applied to the inner editor document (`targetDoc.documentElement`); page direction stays owned by the UI language (`l10n.ts`). Adds a frontend test asserting the inner editor flips while the top-level `<html>` dir is unchanged.
- **Pad-wide view settings apply to the creator's own view (#7900 / #7902).** Because a creator is never "enforced upon themselves", a stale personal view-override cookie (e.g. `rtlIsTrue=false` from an earlier toggle) silently masked the pad-wide value they later set, so the control appeared to do nothing on their own screen. Changing a pad-wide view option now syncs the creator's personal pref to the chosen value; the precedence model is unchanged (the creator can still override afterwards via "My view").
- **URL view-option params lost to a `padeditor.init` race (#7840 / #7843).**`?showLineNumbers=false` and `?useMonospaceFont=true` were silently clobbered shortly after load — the same race #7464 fixed for `?rtl=false`, but the neighbouring `showLineNumbers` / `noColors` / `useMonospaceFontGlobal` blocks were left at the synchronous-tail site. The fix is generalised to all three (moved into `postAceInit`). Mostly observable in cross-context iframe embeds that start with no `prefs` cookie. Adds `url_view_options.spec.ts`.
- **Default welcome text attributed to the system author (#7885 / #7887).** Auto-generated default pad content (`settings.defaultPadText` / `padDefaultContent` hook) carried the creating user's `author` attribute and rendered in their authorship colour, even though they never wrote it. The welcome text's `author`*attribute* is now `Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID`, while revision 0's `meta.author` stays the real creator so ownership (pad-wide settings gate, deletion token) is preserved. Explicitly provided text (e.g. HTTP API `createPad` with text + author) keeps the real author.
- **URL-encode pad names in the admin 'Open' button and recent pads (#7865 / #7895).** Pad names are `encodeURIComponent`-d in the admin `PadPage` Open href and the colibris recent-pads href, and `decodeURIComponent`-d when read back from the URL pathname; legacy URL-encoded recent-pads names are normalised before re-encoding to prevent double-encoding (`%2F` → `%252F`). The admin Open `window.open` gains `noopener,noreferrer`.
- **OIDC — fix broken `OIDCAdapter` flows (#7837).** Repairs the adapter flows and widens the storage type to include `string` for the `userCode` index; adds regression tests.
- **Accessibility — dialog titles/descriptions and a missing l10n key (#7835 / #7836).** Adds the `index.code` key referenced by `index.html` but never defined (which produced a "Couldn't find translation key" console error on the landing page), and gives every admin `@radix-ui/react-dialog``Dialog.Content` a `Dialog.Title` and `Dialog.Description` (visually hidden where there's no visible heading), silencing Radix's a11y warnings. A new backend spec fails CI if any `data-l10n-id` in `src/templates/*.html` is missing from `en.json`.
- **Offline/air-gapped Docker boot — stop pnpm self-provisioning a pinned version (issue #7911).** The official image installs pnpm directly (corepack was dropped for Node 25+). Because the image's pnpm intentionally lags the `packageManager` pin in `package.json` (pnpm 11.1.x enforces a minimum-release-age policy the frozen-lockfile build can't satisfy), pnpm treated every call — including the informational `pnpm --version` probe Etherpad runs at startup — as a request to download the pinned build. Behind a firewall that download failed (`Failed to get pnpm version: … Command exited with code 1`), breaking startup. The Dockerfile now sets `pnpm_config_pm_on_fail=ignore`, and the startup probe plus the updater's pnpm-on-PATH checks run with the same flag, so pnpm uses the installed version instead of reaching for the network (without changing which pnpm runs the build-time install). A backend spec fails CI if that guard is dropped while a version gap exists.
- **Firefox authorship colours — tag early keystrokes with the right author (#7910).** The inner editor's `thisAuthor` starts empty and is only populated when collab_client's queued `setProperty('userAuthor', userId)` reaches the iframe (applied asynchronously via `pendingInit`). Under Firefox timing the first keystrokes could beat it, so freshly typed text — and early line-attribute changes (lists, headings, alignment) — were tagged `author=''`, which canonicalises to an unattributed insert that the server's pad-corruption guard rejects, dropping the whole change and losing authorship (the intermittent `clear_authorship_color` flake, where undo couldn't restore the author colour). A `getLocalAuthor()` helper now falls back to `clientVars.userId` (the same id, available synchronously) whenever `thisAuthor` is still empty, applied at the text-insert sites and to seed `documentAttributeManager.author`; the intentional clear-authorship path and the server-side guard are unchanged.
- **Dark mode — fix the white address bar and the light-flash on load (#7909, issue #7606).** Dark-mode users still saw a white mobile address bar above the dark toolbar, and the whole page flashed light before going dark. Both came from rendering the light state server-side and switching to dark only after the JS bundle ran: iOS Safari reads `theme-color` at parse time and doesn't reliably repaint on a later JS mutation, and the page painted light before the bundle applied the dark skin classes. The server now emits a `prefers-color-scheme`-scoped `theme-color` pair so the address bar is correct at first paint, plus a small blocking `<head>` script that applies the dark skin classes before the stylesheet paints. Both are gated on `enableDarkMode` (default on) and the colibris skin; `pad.ts` still runs on init to wire up the `#options-darkmode` toggle (which now updates every `theme-color` meta) and theme the editor iframes. Applies to the pad and timeslider views.
### Internal / contributor-facing
- **Root-caused and fixed the Windows backend-test "silent ELIFECYCLE" flake (#7866).** The ~22% Windows flake — rotating across random spec files, no mocha summary, no JS trace — was diagnosed from a full-memory dump as two distinct causes. (1) A timing-fragile test abandoned by mocha keeps running and later throws an *orphan* unhandled rejection; `server.ts`'s process-global `uncaughtException`/`unhandledRejection` handlers (correct for a real Etherpad process) escalated that into a clean `process.exit`. They are now gated behind `require.main === module`, and the backend-test bootstraps (`common.ts`, `diagnostics.ts`) log orphan rejections instead of rethrowing. (2) A stack-buffer overrun in Node 24.x's bundled libuv Windows TCP-connect path (`uv__tcp_connect`) corrupts memory under the suite's localhost-connection churn; CI pins the Windows backend job to Node **24.16.0** (libuv 1.52.1, the bisected fix), referencing upstream `nodejs/node#63620`. Linux stays on Node 24 LTS.
- **Removed the now-unneeded ELIFECYCLE diagnostic scaffolding (#7846 / #7838 / #7842 / #7868).** The OS-level sidecar watcher, the diagnostics heartbeat/running-test pointer, and the mid-test snapshot — added to chase the flake above — are removed now that the cause is known.
- **Docs — document the Docker `settings.json` writable-layer and env-var-vs-file semantics (#7819 / #7827).** Two operator-facing gaps surfaced by #7819: that the on-disk `settings.json` is a template (env substitution happens in memory at load time), and that the default compose puts `settings.json` in the container's writable layer with no host mount, so admin edits are lost on `down`/`pull`/watchtower but survive a plain `restart`. Adds prose + a recreate-vs-restart table to `doc/docker.md` and a commented-out opt-in bind mount to the compose files.
- **Docs refresh for 3.2.0 (#7888)**, **dropped three redundant top-level files (#7839)**, **dropped a fragile viewport assertion in the enter test (#7845)**, and a backend-test fix-up.
### Dependencies
- Two major bumps: `redis` 5.12.1 → 6.0.0 (#7869) and `ejs` 5.0.2 → 6.0.1 (#7860).
3.2 adds first-class reverse-proxy / ingress support — `X-Forwarded-Prefix` and `X-Ingress-Path` are now honoured under `trustProxy`, so Etherpad can live under a subpath (Traefik, Nginx, Kubernetes Ingress) without breaking the PWA manifest, social-meta URLs, or any of the bootstrap asset links. The admin settings page learns to show *resolved* runtime values next to `${VAR:default}` placeholders, the v3.1.0 admin pad-list filter chips now apply server-side (so "show empty pads" no longer returns 0–12 of hundreds), and the v3.1.0 redesigned outdated-version gritter actually fires in production now (the session-based author lookup it shipped with always returned null for pad visitors).
### Notable enhancements
- **HTTP — accept `X-Forwarded-Prefix` and `X-Ingress-Path` under `trustProxy` (#7802 / #7806).** With `trustProxy: true`, Etherpad now honours `X-Forwarded-Prefix` (de-facto Traefik / Spring) and `X-Ingress-Path` (Kubernetes Ingress) in addition to the prefix it already inferred from the request path. The shared `sanitizeProxyPath` helper added in 3.1.0 (defence-in-depth: `[A-Za-z0-9_./-]` only, `//+` collapsed, `..` traversal rejected) is extended to the new headers and applied consistently across `/manifest.json`, `socialMeta``og:url` / `og:image`, and the `index.html` / `pad.html` / `timeslider.html` / `export_html.html` templates (manifest links, jslicense links, reconnect URLs). A pre-existing `..` segment-count miscalculation in `pad.html` / `timeslider.html` that broke the manifest link when served from a deep subpath is also fixed in passing. New end-to-end suite covers the prefix-applied / prefix-ignored matrix under `trustProxy=true|false` for both header names. `settings.json.template` documents the new headers alongside the existing `trustProxy` notes.
- **Admin settings — resolved runtime values surface on env-pill chips (#7803 / #7807).** The `/admin/settings` socket payload now carries a new `resolved` field alongside the existing raw-file `results` blob, carrying the actual in-memory settings module run through a new redactor (`AdminSettingsRedact`) that replaces known-sensitive paths (`users.*.password`, `dbSettings.password`, `sso.clients[*].client_secret`, `sessionKey`, …) with `[REDACTED]`. The admin SPA's `EnvPill` renders a `→ active value` chip when the path is resolved, or `→ ••••••` with a redacted tooltip when the server returned the sentinel — so `port: ${PORT:9001}` now shows `→ 9001` (or whatever the live value is) instead of silently falling back to the template default. Old admin SPAs that don't read `resolved` continue to work; the save round-trip is unchanged so `${VAR:default}` literals are still preserved verbatim on disk. The admin test script glob picks up `.test.tsx` alongside `.test.ts` so the new `EnvPill` and `resolveByPath` tests run under `tsx --test`.
### Notable fixes
- **Admin pads — filter chip now applies server-side, before pagination (#7798).** The 3.1.0 admin pad-list filter chips (`active` / `recent` / `empty` / `stale`) ran on the client *after* the 12-row page slice had already arrived. On a deployment with hundreds of pads, clicking "empty pads" on page 1 only matched the 0–12 empties that happened to land in the current page, with the pagination footer reporting nonsense totals (reported on a 3.1.0 deployment). The filter is now part of the `padLoad` socket query — pattern filter on names runs first (cheap), metadata hydration for the matching pad universe is gated on a non-`all` filter or a non-`padName` sort and runs under a 16-way concurrency cap (was unbounded `Promise.all`, which fanned out to thousands of in-flight `padManager.getPad()` reads on busy deployments), then the filter chip, then sort + slice. `total` reflects the filtered universe so the footer makes sense. Older admin clients that don't send `filter` keep working — the server defaults to `all`. The `if/else if` ladder that duplicated the hydrate-and-sort loop per `sortBy` is folded into one pipeline with a single comparator switch.
- **Pad outdated notice — author now resolved from token cookie, not session (Qodo #7804 / #7805).** The 3.1.0 redesigned outdated-version gritter never fired in production. `resolveRequestAuthor()` looked for an `authorID` on `req.session.user`, which Etherpad does not populate for pad visitors (express-session only carries the admin-login user), so `computeOutdated()` always returned EMPTY. The lookup now mirrors how the socket.io handshake resolves pad-visitor identity — read the HttpOnly `token` (or `<prefix>token`) cookie and call `authorManager.getAuthorId(token, user)` via a dynamic import (same circular-init guard pattern the file already uses for `PadManager`). The admin OpenAPI document gains a `description` note clarifying that `/api/version-status` is a public pad-side endpoint that lives in the admin doc only because it shares the same internal route registration.
- **Localisation — silence spurious "could not translate element content" warning (#7797).**`<select data-l10n-id="…">` with `<option>` element children — the pattern used by `ep_headings2`, `ep_align`, `ep_font_size`, `ep_font_family`, … — used to drop into the textContent branch of `html10n.translateNode`, hunt for a text-node child to overwrite, find none, and emit `Unexpected error: could not translate element content for key …` on every pad load. The `SELECT` / `INPUT` / `TEXTAREA` aria-label fallback already lived inside the same else-branch *after* the warning, so the accessible name landed correctly but the noisy console line still fired. Form-control elements now short-circuit into the aria-label path *before* the text-node hunt — aria-label is the only sensible localization target for these elements (a `<select>`'s text is its `<option>` labels, not its own name). Closes the console warning reported on Etherpad 3.1.0.
### Internal / contributor-facing
- **CI — swap archived `ep_readonly_guest` for `ep_guest` in the plugin matrix (#7795 / #7808).**`ep_readonly_guest` is archived (read-only on GitHub) and its `authenticate` hook unconditionally swapped `req.session.user` with a read-only guest, *even when the request carried an HTTP Authorization header*. That silently demoted admin login attempts and stalled the `anonymizeAuthorSocket` tests for 14 min/run on every with-plugins CI matrix. The pre-fix theory from 3.1.0 (#7796) blamed `ep_hash_auth.handleMessage`; that was a red herring — `handleMessage` only fires on the `/pad` namespace, never on `/settings`. `ep_guest` is the maintained successor (same authors, same purpose); 1.0.72 on npm already defers to basic auth / admin paths. Swapping the matrix unblocks the `anonymizeAuthorSocket` suite on Linux, Windows, and the upgrade-from-latest-release workflow. The runtime probe added in #7796 stays — it still catches any other authenticate-hook plugin that rejects the test's plain-text credentials (e.g. a future hashed-only plugin).
- **Tests — admin `saveSettings` round-trip + cross-restart persistence (#7819 / #7820 / #7821).** The admin `saveSettings` socket had zero direct backend coverage and the existing e2e "restart works" test only checked that the page renders after a restart, neither of which catches a deployment that resets `settings.json` on restart, nor the user-visible workflow that triggered #7819 (add a top-level plugin block via Raw, save, watch it disappear). Three new backend specs (`adminSettingsSave.ts`) verify byte-for-byte write, top-level-block augmentation round-tripping through the next `load`, and `/* */` comments surviving the write path. A new e2e spec mirrors the #7819 user workflow — open Raw, prepend an `ep_oauth`-shaped top-level block, save, `restartEtherpad()`, re-login, confirm the block is still in Raw and surfaces as its own Form-view section (`Ep oauth` from `humanize()`). A separate `docker.yml` job (`adminSettings_7819.ts`) authenticates via `POST /admin-auth/` (always-requireAdmin, regardless of `settings.requireAuthentication`), saves a hand-built minimal-but-viable settings document containing a marker block, `docker exec test grep`s for it, `docker restart`s the container, waits for the health probe, and re-greps. Both checks must pass.
- **Bug report template** now asks contributors whether the abstraction in their proposed fix matches the rest of the codebase, to head off premature-generalisation fixes earlier in review.
### Dependencies
- `ueberdb2` 6.0.3 → 6.1.2 (two patch releases of cleanup on top of the 6.1.0 `findKeysPaged` API that the 3.1.0 sessionstorage OOM fix relies on).
3.1 ships the self-update programme's **Tier 4 — autonomous in a maintenance window** for real (the v3.0.0 notes documented the design; this is the release the code actually lands in), adds first-class SMTP delivery so update failures email the admin, and bundles a defence-in-depth pass across the HTTP/API entry points. Two new admin-facing escape hatches arrive: a preflight check that aborts an update *before* it mutates the working tree when the target tag's `engines.node` doesn't match the running runtime, and email notifications for every auto-rollback / preflight outcome (not just the terminal `rollback-failed` state).
### Notable enhancements
- **pad: Outdated-version notice redesigned (#7799).** The persistent "severely outdated" banner is replaced by a dismissable gritter notification (auto-fades after 8 seconds), shown only to a pad's first author and only when the server is at least one minor version behind the latest released version. Patch-only deltas no longer fire the notice. The `vulnerable-below` directive scraping, the `severe` and `vulnerable` enum values, and the `vulnerableBelow` state field have been removed.
- **API: `GET /api/version-status` updated (#7799).** Now accepts an optional `?padId=<id>` query parameter and returns `{outdated: "minor" | null, isFirstAuthor: boolean}`. The `severe` and `vulnerable` enum values are gone. Results are cached per `(padId, authorId)` for 60 seconds.
- **Self-update — Tier 4 (autonomous in a maintenance window).** Set `updates.tier: "autonomous"` together with `updates.maintenanceWindow: {"start":"HH:MM","end":"HH:MM","tz":"local"|"utc"}` to constrain autonomous updates to a nightly window. The scheduler snaps `scheduledFor` forward to the next window opening when grace would otherwise land outside the window, and defers the fire when the window has closed by the timer callback. Cross-midnight windows (`end < start`) are supported; DST transitions are absorbed by host wall-clock arithmetic. A missing or malformed window degrades the policy to Tier 3 with an explicit `policy.reason` of `maintenance-window-missing` / `maintenance-window-invalid`; an admin banner surfaces the misconfiguration so autonomous behaviour is not silently disabled. The admin update page shows a "Maintenance window" section with the parsed window summary, the next opening, and a "deferred until <iso>" subtitle on the scheduled panel when the timer has been snapped forward. Closes #7607 (#7753).
- **Updater — real SMTP via nodemailer (new top-level `mail.*` block).** Replaces the "(would send email)" stub. New settings: `mail.host`, `mail.port`, `mail.secure`, `mail.from`, `mail.auth.{user,pass}`. `mail.host=null` keeps the legacy log-only behaviour. The `nodemailer` dependency is lazy-imported on first send so installs that don't configure mail pay no runtime cost; the transport is cached on the full SMTP options tuple so a `reloadSettings()` change to host/port/credentials invalidates the cache. `settings.json.docker` reads `MAIL_HOST` / `MAIL_FROM` / `MAIL_PORT` / `MAIL_SECURE` from env. Send errors are logged warn and swallowed so a transient SMTP failure can never poison the updater state machine.
- **Updater — preflight against the target tag's `engines.node`.** Before mutating the working tree, `runPreflight` now runs `git show <tag>:package.json` and verifies `process.versions.node` satisfies the target's `engines.node`. A mismatch fails cleanly at `preflight-failed` with the detail `target requires Node >=X, running Y` — no drain, no restart, no rollback. The check runs *after* signature verification so we only trust signed `package.json`. New `PreflightReason: 'node-engine-mismatch'`.
- **Updater — email admin on rollback / preflight-failed (not just `rollback-failed`).** Before this release only the terminal `rollback-failed` state emailed. Auto-recovered failures (`rolled-back-install-failed`, `rolled-back-build-failed`, `rolled-back-health-check`, `rolled-back-crash-loop`) and `preflight-failed` now also fire one email per `<outcome>:<targetTag>` (dedupe key in `EmailSendLog.lastFailureKey`). A 3am autonomous update that rolls back because of, say, a Node engine bump now lands in the admin inbox at 3am instead of staying invisible until the next admin login. Boot-path catch-up covers cases where the failure preceded a clean process exit (timer-fired health-check rollback, crash-loop forced rollback, preflight-failed that didn't get to email before exit).
- **API — `listAuthorsOfPad` filters the synthetic system author.**`Pad.SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID` (`a.etherpad-system`) is the placeholder Etherpad attributes to when the HTTP API receives a call without an `authorId` (setText, setHTML, appendText, server-side import). It was leaking through `listAuthorsOfPad`, making pads with only API-driven content appear to have one "real" author. The synthetic id is now filtered at that API surface only — `getAllAuthors()` and downstream callers (copy, anonymize, atext verification) still see it. Fixes #7785 / #7790 (#7793).
### Notable fixes
- **Export HTML — ordered-list counter no longer poisoned by a sibling unordered list.** When an ordered-list level was the only consumer of `olItemCounts`, closing *any* list at that depth (including a `<ul>` that happened to share the level) reset the counter to 0. A subsequent unrelated `<ol>` at the same depth then took the "counter exists but is 0" branch and emitted `<ol class="...">` without the `start=` attribute. The reset is now gated on `line.listTypeName === 'number'` so closing an unordered list never touches the ol bookkeeping. Fixes #7786 / #7787 (#7791).
- **Export — bad `:rev` returns a meaningful 500 body, not Express's HTML error page.** A non-numeric `:rev` (e.g. `/p/foo/test1/export/txt`) reached `checkValidRev` which throws `CustomError('rev is not a number', 'apierror')`; the message fell through `.catch(next)` and Express's default renderer returned an HTML 500 page. The route handler now catches the apierror and emits `err.message` as a deterministic `text/plain` 500. As a follow-up, `checkValidRev` runs *before*`res.attachment()` so an invalid rev no longer leaves a `Content-Disposition` header in place (browsers were offering to save the error message as a file), and unrelated export failures (conversion, fs, soffice) are surfaced as text/plain rather than the HTML stack page. Fixes #7788 (#7792).
- **Session cleanup no longer OOMs on huge sessionstorage tables.** Pre-2.7.3 `SessionStore._cleanup()` issued a single unbounded `findKeys('sessionstorage:*', null)` that materialised every key into one JS array; on a decade-old MariaDB install with millions of stale sessions the mysql2 driver retained the rows on the pool connection while the JS array dominated heap, OOMing the process within ~15 minutes of boot. Cleanup now pages the keyspace in 500-key batches via the new `findKeysPaged` API on ueberdb2 6.1.0 (DB-side ranged query on mysql/postgres, JS-side fallback elsewhere), yielding to the event loop between pages. A single run is capped at 10 minutes; the next scheduled run continues. The defensive cursor-stall guard now logs an error rather than silently aborting, and `DB.init()` fails fast if any required wrapper method is missing (a misconfigured ueberdb2 pin surfaces at boot instead of an hour later). Fixes #7830 (#7831).
### Security hardening
A bundle of defence-in-depth tightening picked up during an internal audit pass (#7784):
- **HTTP API — OAuth JWT path.** Verify the signature *before* reading any claim off the payload; require `admin: true` strictly (presence is no longer sufficient). The apikey comparison switches to `crypto.timingSafeEqual`.
- **Import/Export temp-file path tokens.** Derived from `crypto.randomBytes(16)` instead of `Math.random()`.
- **Token transfer.** Records now have a 5-minute TTL and are single-use (removed from the store before responding). The author token is no longer in the redemption response body — the `HttpOnly` cookie is the only delivery channel.
- **`x-proxy-path` header sanitiser (new `src/node/utils/sanitizeProxyPath.ts`).** Shared by `admin.ts` and `specialpages.ts`. Strips characters outside `[A-Za-z0-9_./-]`, collapses leading `//+` to a single `/`, rejects `..` traversal. `admin.ts` also emits `Vary: x-proxy-path` and `Cache-Control: private, no-store` so a poisoned response can never be reused for another origin.
- **`Pad.appendRevision` insert-op author invariant.** Centralises the "every insert op carries an `author` attribute" rule the socket handler already enforced, so non-wire callers (`setText`, `setHTML`, `restoreRevision`, plugin paths) get the same check. `Pad.init` and `setPadHTML` substitute `SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID` when no author is supplied — same pattern `setText` / `spliceText` already used.
- **`setPadRaw` legacy-import rewrite.** Bulk-import bypasses `appendRevision`, so a hand-crafted `.etherpad` file could persist non-conforming records that any subsequent `setText` / `setHTML` would refuse to extend. A pre-pass now walks revs in order, sanitises each changeset's `+` ops against the cumulative pad pool (substituting `SYSTEM_AUTHOR_ID` where needed), and re-applies each changeset to a running atext so the head atext and key-rev `meta.atext` / `meta.pool` snapshots stay in lock-step. Conforming payloads round-trip unchanged.
### Internal / contributor-facing
- **Backend tests — `tests/backend/specs/{api,admin}/*` un-skipped.** The pnpm test script's glob (`tests/backend/specs/**.ts`) only matched depth-1 files. Every spec under `api/` (14 files) and `admin/` (2 files) has been silently skipped by CI. Switched to `--extension ts --recursive` so mocha walks the tree as documented. A new vitest regression check reads the pnpm script, hands mocha the same arguments under `--dry-run --list-files`, and asserts representative specs from both subdirectories appear in the discovered list (#7789).
- **CI — Windows `npx ENOENT` in the glob-discovery regression check.**`execFileSync('npx', ...)` doesn't pick up `npx.cmd` on Windows runners. Resolved by running `mocha`'s JS entry directly via `require.resolve` under the current node process. Path normalisation now goes through `path.relative` + `replace([\\/])` so mixed-separator / drive-letter casing on Windows mocha output still matches the POSIX-relative assertions (#7794).
- **CI — `anonymizeAuthorSocket` suite gated on admin-socket health when `ep_hash_auth` is installed.** Un-hiding the suite in #7789 surfaced a 14-minute stall on every with-plugins matrix run because `ep_hash_auth`'s `handleMessage` hook fires for every socket message regardless of namespace and reads from the deprecated `client` context (undefined for non-pad namespaces). Until the root cause lands (tracked in #7795), the suite skips itself when an application-level probe shows the admin `/settings` namespace isn't responding — keeps the no-plugin matrix covered and stops burning ~14 minutes per with-plugins run (#7796).
### Localisation
- Multiple updates from translatewiki.net.
# 3.0.0
3.0 is a feature-heavy release that closes out the self-update programme (Tiers 2 and 3 land alongside Tier 1 from 2.7.3), removes the last identified upstream telemetry vector, and ships a parsed JSONC settings editor, native DOCX export, in-place pad history scrubbing, and an admin UI for GDPR author erasure. It also marks the start of the broader Etherpad app ecosystem (see *Companion apps* below).
### Breaking changes
- **Minimum required Node.js version is now 24.** Node.js 22 is no longer supported. Node 25 was briefly the floor mid-cycle but was rolled back to **24 LTS (Krypton, supported through ~May 2028)** because Node 25 reached end-of-life on 2026-04-10 (see #7779 / #7781). The CI matrix targets Node 24 and 26. Node 24 still ships Corepack, so existing `bin/installer.sh` / `bin/installer.ps1` flows continue to work unchanged; the global `pnpm` install fallback added for the Node 25 detour is kept for forward-compatibility.
- **`pnpm` floor raised to `pnpm@11.1.2`.** `packageManager` is now pinned to `pnpm@11.1.2` and `engines.pnpm` requires `>=11.1.2`. The Dockerfile, snap, .deb and all GitHub workflows are aligned.
- **`swagger-ui-express` removed.** `/api-docs` now serves a vendored, telemetry-free copy of [Scalar](https://github.com/scalar/scalar) (see the privacy item below). The route, the OpenAPI document, and the rendered output are unchanged for downstream consumers, but anything that introspected `swagger-ui-express` internals will need updating.
- **Debian package depends on `nodejs (>= 24)`.** The signed apt repository at `etherpad.org/apt` is rebuilt against this floor; older Node packages are no longer acceptable as a dependency (#7754).
### Companion apps
This release coincides with the launch of two ecosystem projects, both maintained under the [`ether` org](https://github.com/ether) and able to talk to any 3.x Etherpad server over its existing HTTP / WebSocket API:
- **[`ether/etherpad-desktop`](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-desktop)** — a native desktop wrapper around Etherpad for macOS, Windows and Linux. Single-window editor experience, system-tray indicator, and an optional embedded server for fully offline pads.
- **[`ether/pad`](https://github.com/ether/pad)** — a portable cross-target client: an Android and iOS app for editing pads on the go, and a `nano`-style terminal client for headless / SSH workflows. Shares the same realtime client transport as the browser editor so changes propagate live across desktop, mobile, terminal and the web UI.
Both clients hit the **stable 3.x API surface**, so server operators don't need to enable anything extra to support them — the OpenAPI clean-up landed in this release (see *Notable enhancements*) is what makes the shared client code generators viable.
- Admins on a git install can click "Apply update" at `/admin/update`. Etherpad runs a 60s session drain (with T-60 / T-30 / T-10 broadcasts to every pad), `git fetch / checkout / pnpm install --frozen-lockfile / pnpm run build:ui`, and exits with code 75 so a process supervisor restarts it on the new version. The next boot runs a 60s health check; if `/health` doesn't come up the previous SHA + lockfile are restored automatically.
- Crash-loop guard: if the new version reboots more than twice without the health check completing, RollbackHandler forces a rollback regardless of the timer.
- Terminal `rollback-failed` state surfaces a strong banner; the admin clicks Acknowledge once they've manually recovered to clear the lock and re-allow Tier 2 attempts.
- New settings under `updates.*`: `preApplyGraceMinutes`, `drainSeconds`, `rollbackHealthCheckSeconds`, `diskSpaceMinMB`, `requireSignature`, `trustedKeysPath`. Tag signature verification is opt-in (default `false`) — see `doc/admin/updates.md` for the keyring setup.
- **A process supervisor (systemd / pm2 / docker `--restart=unless-stopped`) is required to apply updates.** Without one, exit 75 leaves the instance down.
- **Self-update subsystem — Tier 3 (auto with grace window).**
- On a git install, set `updates.tier: "auto"` to have new releases applied automatically after `preApplyGraceMinutes`. During the grace window, `/admin/update` shows a live countdown plus Cancel and Apply now buttons. Schedules are persisted to `var/update-state.json`, so an Etherpad restart during the grace window rehydrates the timer instead of losing the schedule. A new release tag detected mid-grace re-arms the timer; if `adminEmail` is set, a one-shot `grace-start` notification fires per scheduled tag (issue #7607).
- The terminal `rollback-failed` state continues to disable auto/autonomous attempts globally until acknowledged; manual click stays available because an admin click *is* the intervention the terminal state requires.
- **Self-update subsystem — Tier 4 (autonomous in a maintenance window).**
- Set `updates.tier: "autonomous"` together with `updates.maintenanceWindow: {"start":"HH:MM","end":"HH:MM","tz":"local"|"utc"}` to constrain autonomous updates to a nightly window. The scheduler snaps `scheduledFor` forward to the next window opening when grace would otherwise land outside the window, and defers the fire when the window has closed by the timer callback. Cross-midnight windows (`end < start`) are supported; DST transitions are absorbed by the host's wall-clock arithmetic.
- A missing or malformed window degrades the policy to Tier 3 with an explicit `policy.reason` of `maintenance-window-missing` / `maintenance-window-invalid`; an admin banner surfaces the misconfiguration so autonomous behavior is not silently disabled. Closes #7607.
- **Privacy — drop swagger-ui telemetry, document phone-homes, add opt-outs.**
- Dropped `swagger-ui-express` because upstream injects a Scarf analytics pixel that cannot be disabled at install or runtime (see [swagger-api/swagger-ui#10573](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/10573)). `/api-docs` now serves a vendored copy of [Scalar](https://github.com/scalar/scalar) (MIT) configured with `withDefaultFonts: false` and `telemetry: false` so no outbound calls are made.
- New `privacy.updateCheck` (default `true`) — set to `false` to disable the hourly `UpdateCheck.ts` request to `${updateServer}/info.json`.
- New `privacy.pluginCatalog` (default `true`) — set to `false` to disable the admin plugins page fetch of `${updateServer}/plugins.json`. CLI install-by-name still works.
- New [`PRIVACY.md`](PRIVACY.md) at repo root documenting both outbound calls, what they send, and how to turn each off.
- `bin/plugins/stalePlugins.ts` now reads `settings.updateServer` (was hardcoded to `static.etherpad.org`) and honours the new flag.
- Closes #7524.
- **Parsed JSONC settings editor in `/admin`.** The settings page now parses `settings.json` as JSONC (with comments and trailing commas preserved), validates edits in-browser, and writes the file back without clobbering comment blocks (#7709, closes #7603, takes over #7666).
- **GDPR — admin UI for author erasure.** Builds on the 2.7.3 author-erasure API: admins can now find an author by id or name in `/admin` and run a confirmed erasure flow from the UI (#7667, follow-up to #7550).
- **Pad-wide settings on by default.**`padOptions`-style settings can now be edited from the in-pad cog without flipping a flag, and the modal title no longer misleads about scope (#7679). Plugin-namespaced `ep_*` keys also flow through `applyPadSettings` so plugins can register their own pad-wide options (#7698).
- **Scrub history in-place on the pad URL.** A long-edited pad can now have its history rewritten in place (e.g. for compliance or to drop accidentally-pasted secrets), without changing the pad URL or breaking deep-links (#7710, closes #7659).
- **`bin/compactStalePads` — staleness-gated bulk compaction.** Companion to the 2.7.3 `compactAllPads` CLI: targets only pads not edited in the last `--older-than N` days, so hot pads in active timeslider use are left alone. Same `--keep` / `--dry-run` shape as `compactAllPads` (#7708, issue #7642).
- **Native DOCX export (opt-in).** A `html-to-docx`-based exporter lands as an alternative to the LibreOffice path, so installs that don't want `soffice` on the host can still produce `.docx`. `soffice` is now documented as optional for `.docx` and `.pdf` (#7568 / #7707, issue #7538).
- **Editor / UI.**
- Settings popup is now scrollable on short viewports so the lower controls stay reachable on small laptops (#7703, issue #7696).
- Admin design pass cleans up the rework introduced in 2.7.3 (#7716).
- `theme-color` meta now follows the client-side dark-mode switch instead of locking to the boot-time value (#7690, issue #7606).
- `menu_right` stays visible on readonly pads by default; operators that prefer the slimmer chrome can still opt in via `showMenuRight` (#7783).
- Social meta: new `settings.socialMeta.description` override (#7691) plus a fix for numeric / boolean override values that were silently being dropped during coercion (#7692).
- **Admin / API surface.**
- The published OpenAPI spec is cleaned up for downstream codegens — duplicate operationIds removed, response schemas filled in, `nullable` ⟶ `oneOf null` migrated for OpenAPI 3.1 (#7714). The companion apps above consume this directly.
- Admin endpoints (`/admin/*` JSON APIs) are now documented in the OpenAPI spec (#7693 / #7705) and called from a typesafe TanStack Query client in the admin SPA (#7638 / #7695).
- "Requires newer Etherpad" message in the plugin browser when an `ep.json` declares an `engines.etherpad` higher than the running version, instead of failing with a generic install error (#7763 / #7771).
- **Security hardening.**
- Reject `USER_CHANGES` inserts that arrive without an author attribute, closing a server-side trust gap where unattributed changes could be applied to a pad (#7773).
- Integrator-issued `sessionID` cookies can now be marked `HttpOnly` via the new option, matching the 2.7.3 author-token hardening (#7045 / #7755).
- **Observability — Prometheus counters.** Three new counters surface scaling-relevant events (`pad_load_total`, `socket_connect_total`, `changeset_apply_total`) so operators can drive horizontal-scaling decisions off the existing `/metrics` endpoint without a custom exporter (#7756 / #7762).
- **Accessibility (continuation of the 2.7.2 / 2.7.3 pass).**
- Skip-to-content link plus hiding line-number gutters from screen readers (#7255 / #7758).
- Named `role="toolbar"` regions and `linemetricsdiv` hidden from assistive tech (#7255 / #7777).
- Localized `aria-label` on form controls (`<select>`, `<input>`, `<textarea>`) and on export-as links (#7697 / #7713).
- Removed `role="textbox"` / `aria-multiline` from `innerdocbody` where they no longer matched the editor's real semantics (#7778 / #7782).
### Notable fixes
- **Docker — pnpm at runtime.** Bypass `pnpm` at container start so the entrypoint no longer triggers a spurious `deps-status` reinstall on every restart (#7718 / #7727). The Corepack cache is now shared so the unprivileged `etherpad` user can resolve `pnpm` (#7689).
- **Debian — `plugin_packages` stays in-tree.** The `.deb` now keeps `plugin_packages/` under the install root so plugins installed at runtime can still resolve `ep_etherpad-lite` (#7750).
- **Admin — restore search and sort.**`SearchField` and the column-sort helpers used by the authors page were lost during the admin rework; they're restored (#7746).
- **Admin — German strings hardcoded in error paths.** A handful of leftover German strings from the rework are replaced with i18n keys (#7735 / #7736).
- **Settings — `username: false` / `malformed color: false` regression.** Legacy `settings.json` files that used `false` to disable a feature no longer surface as `'false'` username or `'malformed color: false'` errors (#7688, issue #7686).
### Internal / contributor-facing
- **Database driver — `ueberdb2` 5 → 6.** Major-version bump to `ueberdb2@^6.0.3` (#7734). Drivers are pinned through the lockfile; the schema-level changes are documented in the `ueberdb2` 6.0 release notes.
- **CI / tests.**
- Windows + Node 24 backend-test flake fixed; native crashes are now captured for diagnosis (#7748).
- `updater-integration` rmdir-retry to clear the long-standing Windows `EBUSY` flake (#7728).
- `lowerCasePadIds` spec closes its socket.io clients on teardown (#7722).
- Admin tests realigned to the typesafe API client + plugin row count fixes (#7712).
- Rate-limit test waits for Etherpad readiness before running, instead of racing the boot sequence (#7726).
- README link fixes and tidy-up (#7723 / #7724 / #7725).
- Several dependency-group bumps across the dev and runtime trees: `undici` 7.25 → 8.3, `semver` 7.7.4 → 7.8, `tsx` 4.21 → 4.22, `mssql` 12.5.2 → 12.5.3, `js-cookie` 3.0.5 → 3.0.6, `@tanstack/react-query` 5.100.9 → 5.100.10, `actions/dependency-review-action` 4 → 5, plus the usual Dependabot dev-group rollups.
### Localisation
- Multiple updates from translatewiki.net.
# 2.7.3
### Breaking changes
- **Minimum required Node.js version is now 22.13.** Node.js 20 is reaching end-of-life (see https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases) and pnpm 11 hard-rejects Node releases older than 22.13. The CI matrix targets Node 22, 24, and 25. Upgrading should be straightforward — install a current Node.js release before updating Etherpad.
- **The official Docker image no longer ships `curl`, `npm`, or `npx`.** These were dropped to remove transitive CVEs (curl/libcurl SMB advisories, npm's bundled picomatch 4.0.3 and brace-expansion 2.0.2). The container's healthcheck now uses `wget` (busybox built-in, always present), and Etherpad provisions `pnpm` via `corepack` for all runtime package operations. If you exec into the container and rely on `curl` or `npm` for ad-hoc tasks, install them on demand with `apk add curl` or use the busybox `wget` / `pnpm` already present.
### Notable enhancements
- **GDPR / privacy controls.** A multi-PR series adds the building blocks operators need to satisfy data-subject requests:
- Pad deletion controls (admin-driven and self-service).
- IP / privacy audit pass across the codebase.
- Author-token cookies are now `HttpOnly`, removing them from JavaScript reach.
- Configurable privacy banner shown on first visit.
- Author erasure: an authenticated path for purging an individual author's identity and contributions.
- **Self-update subsystem (Tier 1: notify).**
- Periodic check against the GitHub Releases API for the configured repo (default `ether/etherpad`). Configurable via the new `updates.*` settings block, default tier `"notify"`. Set `updates.tier` to `"off"` to disable entirely.
- The admin UI shows a banner and a dedicated "Etherpad updates" page with the current version, latest version, install method, and changelog.
- Pad users see a discreet footer badge **only** when the running version is severely outdated (one or more major versions behind) or flagged as vulnerable in a recent release manifest. The public endpoint that drives this never leaks the version string itself.
- New top-level `adminEmail` setting. When set, the updater emails the admin on first detection of severe / vulnerable status, with escalating cadence (weekly while vulnerable, monthly while severely outdated). PR 1 ships the dedupe + cadence logic; real SMTP wiring lands in a follow-up PR.
- Tier 1 ships in this release. Tiers 2 (manual click), 3 (auto with grace window) and 4 (autonomous in maintenance window) are designed and will land in subsequent releases.
- See `doc/admin/updates.md` for full configuration.
- **Pad compaction.** New `compactPad` HTTP API plus `bin/compactPad` and `bin/compactAllPads` CLIs to reclaim database space on long-lived pads with heavy edit history (issue #6194). `--keep N` retains the last N revisions; `--dry-run` previews per-pad rev counts before writing. Per-pad failures don't stop the bulk run.
- `bin/compactStalePads` (issue #7642) targets only pads not edited in the last `--older-than N` days, so hot pads in active timeslider use are left alone. Same `--keep` / `--dry-run` shape as `bin/compactAllPads`. Targeting is deliberately a CLI concern — the `compactPad` API surface stays unchanged.
- **New packaging targets.**
- Etherpad is now published as a **Snap** package.
- **Debian (.deb)** packages are built via nfpm with a systemd unit, and a signed apt repository is published to `etherpad.org/apt`.
- **Editor enhancements.**
- IDE-style line operations: keyboard shortcuts to duplicate or delete the current line.
- New `showMenuRight` URL parameter to hide the right-side toolbar — useful for embeds that need slimmer chrome.
- Click a user in the userlist to open chat with `@<name>` prefilled, making mentions discoverable.
- New `padOptions.fadeInactiveAuthorColors` setting plus a toolbar UI to fade the background colors of authors who have left the pad.
- **Color contrast.** Author colors now pick the WCAG-higher-contrast text color for readability.
- **Social / mobile metadata.** Pad, timeslider, and home views now emit Open Graph and Twitter Card tags (closes #7599) and a `theme-color` meta that matches the toolbar on mobile.
- **Plugin admin UX.** The `/admin` plugin browser surfaces each plugin's `ep.json``disables` declarations, so operators can see what a plugin will turn off before installing.
### Notable fixes
- **Socket.io: don't kick authenticated duplicate-author sessions.** A regression where two tabs from the same authenticated author could evict each other has been fixed (#7656 / #7678).
- **Anchor scrolling.** Anchor-link navigation now waits for layout to settle, so jumping to a deep link no longer overshoots.
- **Plugin updater.**`bin/updatePlugins.sh` actually updates installed plugins again (closes #6670).
- **Settings: stable per-release version string.**`randomVersionString` is now derived from the release identity rather than regenerated on each boot, so caches behave correctly across restarts of the same version.
### Internal / contributor-facing
- The HTTP client in the backend has been migrated from `axios` to the built-in `fetch` API, dropping a dependency now that Node 22 ships a stable fetch.
- `admin/` and `ui/` workspaces moved from `rolldown-vite` to upstream **Vite 8**.
- Build and CI moved to **pnpm 11** (`packageManager: "pnpm@11.1.2"`); the `Dockerfile`, snap, and all GitHub workflows are aligned. pnpm overrides have been migrated from `package.json` to `pnpm-workspace.yaml` to match pnpm 11's expectations.
- All client modules have been converted to ESM.
- The CI matrix tests Node 22, 24, and 25; on PRs the matrix is reduced to a single Node version to keep feedback fast.
- Frontend Playwright tests now run against the `/ether` plugin set, with feature-tag based skips so plugin-incompatible specs are excluded automatically.
- Build hardening: signed apt repo publishing, frozen lockfile installs across CI, Node setup pinned in every workflow, and a Docker-image CVE sweep that bumps `npm`, `pnpm`, and `uuid`.

* contain meaningful and detailed **commit messages** in the form:
```
submodule: description
longer description of the change you have made, eventually mentioning the
number of the issue that is being fixed, in the form: Fixes #someIssueNumber
```
* if the PR is a **bug fix**:
* The commit that fixes the bug should **include a regression test** that
would fail if the bug fix was reverted. Adding the regression test in the
same commit as the bug fix makes it easier for a reviewer to verify that the
test is appropriate for the bug fix.
* If there is a bug report, **the pull request description should include the
text "`Fixes #xxx`"** so that the bug report is auto-closed when the PR is
merged. It is less useful to say the same thing in a commit message because
GitHub will spam the bug report every time the commit is rebased, and
because a bug number alone becomes meaningless in forks. (A full URL would
be better, but ideally each commit is readable on its own without the need
to examine an external reference to understand motivation or context.)
* think about stability: code has to be backwards compatible as much as possible. Always **assume your code will be run with an older version of the DB/config file**
* if you want to remove a feature, **deprecate it instead**:
* write an issue with your deprecation plan
* output a `WARN` in the log informing that the feature is going to be removed
* remove the feature in the next version
* if you want to add a new feature, put it under a **feature flag**:
* once the new feature has reached a minimal level of stability, do a PR for it, so it can be integrated early
* expose a mechanism for enabling/disabling the feature
* the new feature should be **disabled** by default. With the feature disabled, the code path should be exactly the same as before your contribution. This is a __necessary condition__ for early integration
* think of the PR not as something that __you wrote__, but as something that __someone else is going to read__. The commit series in the PR should tell a novice developer the story of your thoughts when developing it
## How to write a bug report
* Please be polite, we all are humans and problems can occur.
* Please add as much information as possible, for example
* client os(s) and version(s)
* browser(s) and version(s), is the problem reproducible on different clients
* special environments like firewalls or antivirus
* host os and version
* npm and nodejs version
* Logfiles if available
* steps to reproduce
* what you expected to happen
* what actually happened
* Please format logfiles and code examples with markdown see github Markdown help below the issue textarea for more information.
If you send logfiles, please set the loglevel switch DEBUG in your settings.json file:
```
/* The log level we are using, can be: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR */
"loglevel": "DEBUG",
```
The logfile location is defined in startup script or the log is directly shown in the commandline after you have started etherpad.
## General goals of Etherpad
To make sure everybody is going in the same direction:
* easy to install for admins and easy to use for people
* easy to integrate into other apps, but also usable as standalone
* lightweight and scalable
* extensible, as much functionality should be extendable with plugins so changes don't have to be done in core.
Also, keep it maintainable. We don't wanna end up as the monster Etherpad was!
## How to work with git?
* Don't work in your master branch.
* Make a new branch for every feature you're working on. (This ensures that you can work you can do lots of small, independent pull requests instead of one big one with complete different features)
* Don't use the online edit function of github (this only creates ugly and not working commits!)
* Try to make clean commits that are easy readable (including descriptive commit messages!)
* Test before you push. Sounds easy, it isn't!
* Don't check in stuff that gets generated during build or runtime
* Make small pull requests that are easy to review but make sure they do add value by themselves / individually
## Coding style
* Do write comments. (You don't have to comment every line, but if you come up with something that's a bit complex/weird, just leave a comment. Bear in mind that you will probably leave the project at some point and that other people will read your code. Undocumented huge amounts of code are worthless!)
* Never ever use tabs
* Indentation: 2 spaces
* Don't overengineer. Don't try to solve any possible problem in one step, but try to solve problems as easy as possible and improve the solution over time!
* Do generalize sooner or later! (if an old solution, quickly hacked together, poses more problems than it solves today, refactor it!)
* Keep it compatible. Do not introduce changes to the public API, db schema or configurations too lightly. Don't make incompatible changes without good reasons!
* If you do make changes, document them! (see below)
* Use protocol independent urls "//"
## Branching model / git workflow
see git flow http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
### `master` branch
* the stable
* This is the branch everyone should use for production stuff
### `develop`branch
* everything that is READY to go into master at some point in time
* This stuff is tested and ready to go out
### release branches
* stuff that should go into master very soon
* only bugfixes go into these (see http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ for why)
* we should not be blocking new features to develop, just because we feel that we should be releasing it to master soon. This is the situation that release branches solve/handle.
### hotfix branches
* fixes for bugs in master
### feature branches (in your own repos)
* these are the branches where you develop your features in
* If it's ready to go out, it will be merged into develop
Over the time we pull features from feature branches into the develop branch. Every month we pull from develop into master. Bugs in master get fixed in hotfix branches. These branches will get merged into master AND develop. There should never be commits in master that aren't in develop
## Documentation
The docs are in the `doc/` folder in the git repository, so people can easily find the suitable docs for the current git revision.
Documentation should be kept up-to-date. This means, whenever you add a new API method, add a new hook or change the database model, pack the relevant changes to the docs in the same pull request.
You can build the docs e.g. produce html, using `make docs`. At some point in the future we will provide an online documentation. The current documentation in the github wiki should always reflect the state of `master` (!), since there are no docs in master, yet.
## Testing
Front-end tests are found in the `tests/frontend/` folder in the repository. Run them by pointing your browser to `<yourdomainhere>/tests/frontend`.
Back-end tests can be run from the `src` directory, via `npm test`.
You can use `npm test -- --inspect-brk` and navigate to `edge://inspect` or `chrome://inspect` to debug the tests.
