ConnorYohandGitHub a8bda9240c feat(portal): replace free-tier carousel with static welcome hero (#6901)
## What this PR does

Redesigns the portal home to match the marketing demo, across all tiers.

- Swapped the old rotating welcome carousel for a static **welcome
hero** on the free tier
- Subscribed (Processor) + enterprise get a **deployed-editor hero** —
shows the live instance (host, version, active users) with an *Open in
browser* button, pulled from the real editor-deployment API (same data
the Editor admin page uses)
- Added a time-of-day **greeting** on the paid tiers
- Rebuilt the **"Finish setting up" checklist** so it's real: the counts
and tick-offs come from the actual policies + sources (a step is done
when there's at least one), not hardcoded numbers
- *Download the PDF Editor* → `https://stirling.com/download`; the other
steps deep-link to Policies / Sources
- **Procurement is now a bolt-on to any tier** — if a deal's in flight
the deal-status hero drops into the hero's footer, otherwise you get the
setup checklist
- All new copy is translated (en-US) and it reuses the shared UI kit,
icons and design tokens

## Tidy-ups / fixes found along the way
- The subscribed hero was shadowing the real `/v1/editor/deployment`
endpoint (broke the Editor admin page) — now reuses it
- Renamed the hero's CSS namespace to `.portal-welcome` so it stops
clashing with the procurement hero's `.portal-hero`
- Refactored the merged procurement component into a shared
`useProcurement` hook + banner + flow, so the deal hero can live inside
the tier hero — `/procurement` route unchanged

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 build
  • task frontend:test — run tests
  • task frontend:test:watch — run tests in watch mode
  • task frontend:lint — run ESLint + cycle detection
  • task frontend:typecheck — run TypeScript type checking
  • task frontend:check — run typecheck + lint + test
  • task 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

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.
