The saved-signature browse/delete/place controls gave too little feedback, so users re-clicked them repeatedly (the icon-only Use/Remove buttons were the top rage-click target on /sign, alongside Pause/Resume placement). - Remove is async (a network round-trip for backend storage) but showed no loading state and stayed enabled, so repeated clicks fired several delete requests and, once one resolved, the next signature slid into the same card slot — looking like nothing happened. It now shows a spinner and disables the category controls while the delete is in flight. - Use is an icon-only control with no confirmation; it now shows a transient "Selected" success state so the click clearly registers. - The saved-signature carousel now wraps around so it is quicker to cycle. - Pause/Resume placement gained descriptive tooltips and clearer paused-state copy explaining what the mode does and how to resume (button or Esc). - Signing is applied client-side (endpoint: null), so completions never reached the shared execute path that emits editor_operation. Emit it on a successful apply so abandonment on this flow is measurable. Generated-By: PostHog Code Task-Id: 4cd0e9d7-9785-4553-83cf-c6a6ca9c270b
Frontend
All frontend commands are run from the repository root using Task:
task frontend:dev— start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)task frontend:build— production buildtask frontend:test— run teststask frontend:test:watch— run tests in watch modetask frontend:lint— run ESLint + cycle detectiontask frontend:typecheck— run TypeScript type checkingtask frontend:check— run typecheck + lint + testtask frontend:install— install npm dependencies
For desktop app development, see the Tauri section below.
Layout
frontend/ is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the
PDF editor under frontend/editor/; new apps (the developer portal, etc.)
will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — package.json, node_modules,
.storybook/, ESLint, Prettier — lives at frontend/ so every app installs
once and lints with the same config.
Environment Variables
The editor's environment variables live in committed .env files at
frontend/editor/:
.env— used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS).env.desktop— additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode.env.saas— additional vars loaded in SaaS mode
These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.
To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling editor/.env.local / editor/.env.desktop.local / editor/.env.saas.local. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.
Docker Setup
For Docker deployments and configuration, see the Docker README.
Tauri
All desktop tasks are available via Task. From the root of the repo:
Dev
task desktop:dev
This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.
Build
task desktop:build
This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.
Platform-specific dev builds are also available:
task desktop:build:dev # No bundling
task desktop:build:dev:mac # macOS .app bundle
task desktop:build:dev:windows # Windows NSIS installer
task desktop:build:dev:linux # Linux AppImage
JLink Tasks
You can also run JLink steps individually:
task desktop:jlink # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
task desktop:jlink:jar # Build backend JAR only
task desktop:jlink:runtime # Create JLink custom JRE only
task desktop:jlink:clean # Remove JLink artifacts
Clean
task desktop:clean
Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
