-This file provides guidance to AI Agents when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Common Development Commands
-
-### Build and Test
-- **Build project**: `./gradlew clean build`
-- **Run locally**: `./gradlew bootRun`
-- **Full test suite**: `./test.sh` (builds all Docker variants and runs comprehensive tests)
-- **Code formatting**: `./gradlew spotlessApply` (runs automatically before compilation)
-
-### Docker Development
-- **Build ultra-lite**: `docker build -t stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest-ultra-lite -f ./Dockerfile.ultra-lite .`
-- **Build standard**: `docker build -t stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest -f ./Dockerfile .`
-- **Build fat version**: `docker build -t stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest-fat -f ./Dockerfile.fat .`
-- **Example compose files**: Located in `exampleYmlFiles/` directory
-
-### Security Mode Development
-Set `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=true` environment variable to enable security features during development. This is required for testing the full version locally.
-
-### Python Development
-Development for the AI engine happens in the `engine/` folder. It's built with Langchain and Pydantic and allows for the creation and editing of PDF documents. The frontend calls the Python via Java as a proxy.
-
-- Python version is 3.13; use modern Python features (type aliases, pattern matching, dataclasses, etc.) where they help clarity.
-- Write fully type-correct code; keep pyright clean and avoid `Any` unless strictly necessary.
-- JSON handling: deserialize into fully typed Pydantic models as early as possible, and serialize back from Pydantic models as late as possible.
-- Use Makefile commands for Python work:
-  - From `engine/`: `make check` to lint, type-check, test, etc. and `make fix` to fix easily fixable linting & formatting issues.
-- The project structure is defined in `engine/pyproject.toml`. Any new dependencies should be listed appropriately there, followed by running `make install`.
-- Prefer using classes to nesting functions, and make other similar architectural decisions to improve testability. Do not nest classes or functions unless specifically required to for the code construct (like a decorator).
-- All environment variables used within the code must begin with the `STIRLING_` prefix in order to keep them unique and easier to find.
-
-### Frontend Development
-- **Frontend dev server**: `cd frontend && npm run dev` (requires backend on localhost:8080)
-- **Tech Stack**: Vite + React + TypeScript + Mantine UI + TailwindCSS
-- **Proxy Configuration**: Vite proxies `/api/*` calls to backend (localhost:8080)
-- **Build Process**: DO NOT run build scripts manually - builds are handled by CI/CD pipelines
-- **Package Installation**: DO NOT run npm install commands - package management handled separately
-- **Deployment Options**:
-  - **Desktop App**: `npm run tauri-build` (native desktop application)
-  - **Web Server**: `npm run build` then serve dist/ folder
-  - **Development**: `npm run tauri-dev` for desktop dev mode
-
-#### Environment Variables
-- All `VITE_*` variables must be declared in the appropriate example file:
-  - `frontend/config/.env.example` — core, proprietary, and shared vars
-  - `frontend/config/.env.saas.example` — SaaS-only vars
-  - `frontend/config/.env.desktop.example` — desktop (Tauri)-only vars
-- Never use `|| 'hardcoded-fallback'` inline — put defaults in the example files
-- `npm run prep` / `prep:saas` / `prep:desktop` auto-create the env files from examples on first run, and error if any required keys are missing
-- These prep scripts run automatically at the start of all `dev*`, `build*`, and `tauri*` commands
-- See `frontend/README.md#environment-variables` for full documentation
-
-#### Import Paths - CRITICAL
-**ALWAYS use `@app/*` for imports.** Do not use `@core/*` or `@proprietary/*` unless explicitly wrapping/extending a lower layer implementation.
-
-For a broader explanation of the frontend layering and override architecture, see [frontend/DeveloperGuide.md](frontend/DeveloperGuide.md).
-
-```typescript
-// ✅ CORRECT - Use @app/* for all imports
-import { AppLayout } from "@app/components/AppLayout";
-import { useFileContext } from "@app/contexts/FileContext";
-import { FileContext } from "@app/contexts/FileContext";
-
-// ❌ WRONG - Do not use @core/* or @proprietary/* in normal code
-import { AppLayout } from "@core/components/AppLayout";
-import { useFileContext } from "@proprietary/contexts/FileContext";
-```
-
-**Only use explicit aliases when:**
-- Building layer-specific override that wraps a lower layer's component
-- Example: `import { AppProviders as CoreAppProviders } from "@core/components/AppProviders"` when creating proprietary/AppProviders.tsx that extends the core version
-
-The `@app/*` alias automatically resolves to the correct layer based on build target (core/proprietary/desktop) and handles the fallback cascade.
-
-#### Component Override Pattern (Stub/Shadow)
-Use this pattern for desktop-specific or proprietary-specific features WITHOUT runtime checks or conditionals.
-
-**How it works:**
-1. Core defines stub component (returns null or no-op)
-2. Desktop/proprietary overrides with same path/name
-3. Core imports via `@app/*` - higher layer "shadows" core in those builds
-4. No `@ts-ignore`, no `isTauri()` checks, no runtime conditionals!
-
-**Example - Desktop-specific footer:**
-
-```typescript
-// core/components/rightRail/RightRailFooterExtensions.tsx (stub)
-interface RightRailFooterExtensionsProps {
-  className?: string;
-}
-
-export function RightRailFooterExtensions(_props: RightRailFooterExtensionsProps) {
-  return null; // Stub - does nothing in web builds
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// desktop/components/rightRail/RightRailFooterExtensions.tsx (real implementation)
-import { Box } from '@mantine/core';
-import { BackendHealthIndicator } from '@app/components/BackendHealthIndicator';
-
-interface RightRailFooterExtensionsProps {
-  className?: string;
-}
-
-export function RightRailFooterExtensions({ className }: RightRailFooterExtensionsProps) {
-  return (
-    <Box className={className}>
-      <BackendHealthIndicator />
-    </Box>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// core/components/shared/RightRail.tsx (usage - works in ALL builds)
-import { RightRailFooterExtensions } from '@app/components/rightRail/RightRailFooterExtensions';
-
-export function RightRail() {
-  return (
-    <div>
-      {/* In web builds: renders nothing (stub returns null) */}
-      {/* In desktop builds: renders BackendHealthIndicator */}
-      <RightRailFooterExtensions className="right-rail-footer" />
-    </div>
-  );
-}
-```

-- **Core build**: `@app/*` → `core/*` → Gets stub (returns null)
-- **Desktop build**: `@app/*` → `desktop/*` → Gets real implementation (shadows core)
-
-**Benefits:**
-- No runtime checks or feature flags
-- Type-safe across all builds
-- Clean, readable code
-- Build-time optimization (dead code elimination)
-
-#### Multi-Tool Workflow Architecture
-Frontend designed for **stateful document processing**:
-- Users upload PDFs once, then chain tools (split → merge → compress → view)
-- File state and processing results persist across tool switches
-- No file reloading between tools - performance critical for large PDFs (up to 100GB+)
-
-#### FileContext - Central State Management
-**Location**: `frontend/src/core/contexts/FileContext.tsx`
-- **Active files**: Currently loaded PDFs and their variants
-- **Tool navigation**: Current mode (viewer/pageEditor/fileEditor/toolName)
-- **Memory management**: PDF document cleanup, blob URL lifecycle, Web Worker management
-- **IndexedDB persistence**: File storage with thumbnail caching
-- **Preview system**: Tools can preview results (e.g., Split → Viewer → back to Split) without context pollution
-
-**Critical**: All file operations go through FileContext. Don't bypass with direct file handling.
-
-#### Processing Services
-- **enhancedPDFProcessingService**: Background PDF parsing and manipulation
-- **thumbnailGenerationService**: Web Worker-based with main-thread fallback
-- **fileStorage**: IndexedDB with LRU cache management
-
-#### Memory Management Strategy
-**Why manual cleanup exists**: Large PDFs (up to 100GB+) through multiple tools accumulate:
-- PDF.js documents that need explicit .destroy() calls
-- Blob URLs from tool outputs that need revocation
-- Web Workers that need termination
-Without cleanup: browser crashes with memory leaks.
-
-#### Tool Development
-
-**Architecture**: Modular hook-based system with clear separation of concerns:
-
-- **useToolOperation** (`frontend/src/core/hooks/tools/shared/useToolOperation.ts`): Main orchestrator hook
-  - Coordinates all tool operations with consistent interface
-  - Integrates with FileContext for operation tracking
-  - Handles validation, error handling, and UI state management
-
-- **Supporting Hooks**:
-  - **useToolState**: UI state management (loading, progress, error, files)
-  - **useToolApiCalls**: HTTP requests and file processing
-  - **useToolResources**: Blob URLs, thumbnails, ZIP downloads
-
-- **Utilities**:
-  - **toolErrorHandler**: Standardized error extraction and i18n support
-  - **toolResponseProcessor**: API response handling (single/zip/custom)
-  - **toolOperationTracker**: FileContext integration utilities
-
-**Three Tool Patterns**:
-
-**Pattern 1: Single-File Tools** (Individual processing)
-- Backend processes one file per API call
-- Set `multiFileEndpoint: false`
-- Examples: Compress, Rotate
-```typescript
-return useToolOperation({
-  operationType: 'compress',
-  endpoint: '/api/v1/misc/compress-pdf',
-  buildFormData: (params, file: File) => { /* single file */ },
-  multiFileEndpoint: false,
-});
-```
-
-**Pattern 2: Multi-File Tools** (Batch processing)
-- Backend accepts `MultipartFile[]` arrays in single API call
-- Set `multiFileEndpoint: true`
-- Examples: Split, Merge, Overlay
-```typescript
-return useToolOperation({
-  operationType: 'split',
-  endpoint: '/api/v1/general/split-pages',
-  buildFormData: (params, files: File[]) => { /* all files */ },
-  multiFileEndpoint: true,
-  filePrefix: 'split_',
-});
-```
-
-**Pattern 3: Complex Tools** (Custom processing)
-- Tools with complex routing logic or non-standard processing
-- Provide `customProcessor` for full control
-- Examples: Convert, OCR
-```typescript
-return useToolOperation({
-  operationType: 'convert',
-  customProcessor: async (params, files) => { /* custom logic */ },
-});
-```
-
-**Benefits**:
-- **No Timeouts**: Operations run until completion (supports 100GB+ files)
-- **Consistent**: All tools follow same pattern and interface
-- **Maintainable**: Single responsibility hooks, easy to test and modify
-- **i18n Ready**: Built-in internationalization support
-- **Type Safe**: Full TypeScript support with generic interfaces
-- **Memory Safe**: Automatic resource cleanup and blob URL management
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-### Project Structure
-- **Backend**: Spring Boot application
-- **Frontend**: React-based SPA in `/frontend` directory
-  - **File Storage**: IndexedDB for client-side file persistence and thumbnails
-  - **Internationalization**: JSON-based translations (converted from backend .properties)
-- **PDF Processing**: PDFBox for core PDF operations, LibreOffice for conversions, PDF.js for client-side rendering
-- **Security**: Spring Security with optional authentication (controlled by `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`)
-- **Configuration**: YAML-based configuration with environment variable overrides
-
-### Controller Architecture
-- **API Controllers** (`src/main/java/.../controller/api/`): REST endpoints for PDF operations
-  - Organized by function: converters, security, misc, pipeline
-  - Follow pattern: `@RestController` + `@RequestMapping("/api/v1/...")`
-
-### Key Components
-- **SPDFApplication.java**: Main application class with desktop UI and browser launching logic
-- **ConfigInitializer**: Handles runtime configuration and settings files
-- **Pipeline System**: Automated PDF processing workflows via `PipelineController`
-- **Security Layer**: Authentication, authorization, and user management (when enabled)
-
-### Frontend Directory Structure
-The frontend is organized with a clear separation of concerns:
-
-- **`frontend/src/core/`**: Main application code (shared, production-ready components)
-  - **`core/components/`**: React components organized by feature
-    - `core/components/tools/`: Individual PDF tool implementations
-    - `core/components/viewer/`: PDF viewer components
-    - `core/components/pageEditor/`: Page manipulation UI
-    - `core/components/tooltips/`: Help tooltips for tools
-    - `core/components/shared/`: Reusable UI components
-  - **`core/contexts/`**: React Context providers
-    - `FileContext.tsx`: Central file state management
-    - `file/`: File reducer and selectors
-    - `toolWorkflow/`: Tool workflow state
-  - **`core/hooks/`**: Custom React hooks
-    - `hooks/tools/`: Tool-specific operation hooks (one directory per tool)
-    - `hooks/tools/shared/`: Shared hook utilities (useToolOperation, etc.)
-  - **`core/constants/`**: Application constants and configuration
-  - **`core/data/`**: Static data (tool taxonomy, etc.)
-  - **`core/services/`**: Business logic services (PDF processing, storage, etc.)
-
-- **`frontend/src/desktop/`**: Desktop-specific (Tauri) code
-- **`frontend/src/proprietary/`**: Proprietary/licensed features
-- **`frontend/src-tauri/`**: Tauri (Rust) native desktop application code
-- **`frontend/public/`**: Static assets served directly
-  - `public/locales/`: Translation JSON files
-
-### Component Architecture
-- **Static Assets**: CSS, JS, and resources in `src/main/resources/static/` (legacy) + `frontend/public/` (modern)
-- **Internationalization**:
-  - Backend: `messages_*.properties` files
-  - Frontend: JSON files in `frontend/public/locales/` (converted from .properties)
-  - Conversion Script: `scripts/convert_properties_to_json.py`
-
-### Configuration Modes
-- **Ultra-lite**: Basic PDF operations only
-- **Standard**: Full feature set
-- **Fat**: Pre-downloaded dependencies for air-gapped environments
-- **Security Mode**: Adds authentication, user management, and enterprise features
-
-### Testing Strategy
-- **Integration Tests**: Cucumber tests in `testing/cucumber/`
-- **Docker Testing**: `test.sh` validates all Docker variants
-- **Manual Testing**: No unit tests currently - relies on UI and API testing
-
-## Development Workflow
-
-1. **Local Development**:
-   - Backend: `./gradlew bootRun` (runs on localhost:8080)
-   - Frontend: `cd frontend && npm run dev` (runs on localhost:5173, proxies to backend)
-2. **Docker Testing**: Use `./test.sh` before submitting PRs
-3. **Code Style**: Spotless enforces Google Java Format automatically
-4. **Translations**:
-   - Backend: Use helper scripts in `/scripts` for multi-language updates
-   - Frontend: Update JSON files in `frontend/public/locales/` or use conversion script
-5. **Documentation**: API docs auto-generated and available at `/swagger-ui/index.html`
-
-## Frontend Architecture Status
-
-- **Core Status**: React SPA architecture complete with multi-tool workflow support
-- **State Management**: FileContext handles all file operations and tool navigation
-- **File Processing**: Production-ready with memory management for large PDF workflows (up to 100GB+)
-- **Tool Integration**: Modular hook architecture with `useToolOperation` orchestrator
-  - Individual hooks: `useToolState`, `useToolApiCalls`, `useToolResources`
-  - Utilities: `toolErrorHandler`, `toolResponseProcessor`, `toolOperationTracker`
-  - Pattern: Each tool creates focused operation hook, UI consumes state/actions
-- **Preview System**: Tool results can be previewed without polluting file context (Split tool example)
-- **Performance**: Web Worker thumbnails, IndexedDB persistence, background processing
-
-## Translation Rules
-
-- **CRITICAL**: Always update translations in `en-GB` only, never `en-US`
-- Translation files are located in `frontend/public/locales/`
-
-## Important Notes
-
-- **Java Version**: Minimum JDK 21, supports and recommends JDK 25
-- **Lombok**: Used extensively - ensure IDE plugin is installed
-- **File Persistence**:
-  - **Backend**: Designed to be stateless - files are processed in memory/temp locations only
-  - **Frontend**: Uses IndexedDB for client-side file storage and caching (with thumbnails)
-- **Security**: When `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false`, security-related classes are excluded from compilation
-- **Import Paths**: ALWAYS use `@app/*` for imports - never use `@core/*` or `@proprietary/*` unless explicitly wrapping/extending a lower layer
-- **FileContext**: All file operations MUST go through FileContext - never bypass with direct File handling
-- **Memory Management**: Manual cleanup required for PDF.js documents and blob URLs - don't remove cleanup code
-- **Tool Development**: New tools should follow `useToolOperation` hook pattern (see `useCompressOperation.ts`)
-- **Performance Target**: Must handle PDFs up to 100GB+ without browser crashes
-- **Preview System**: Tools can preview results without polluting main file context (see Split tool implementation)
-- **Adding Tools**: See `ADDING_TOOLS.md` for complete guide to creating new PDF tools
-
-## Communication Style
-- Be direct and to the point
-- No apologies or conversational filler
-- Answer questions directly without preamble
-- Explain reasoning concisely when asked
-- Avoid unnecessary elaboration
-
-## Decision Making
-- Ask clarifying questions before making assumptions
-- Stop and ask when uncertain about project-specific details
-- Confirm approach before making structural changes
-- Request guidance on preferences (cross-platform vs specific tools, etc.)
-- Verify understanding of requirements before proceeding
