# Description of Changes
This PR modernizes the project's Python tooling across GitHub Actions by
migrating CI workflows from pip-based dependency management to `uv` and
aligning Python execution with the engine project's managed environment.
### What was changed
- Replaced `actions/setup-python` and ad-hoc `pip install` steps with
`astral-sh/setup-uv` across CI workflows.
- Configured shared `uv` dependency caching using
`engine/pyproject.toml` and `engine/uv.lock`.
- Updated Python script execution to use `uv run --project engine
--locked` for a consistent runtime environment.
- Replaced package installation steps with `uv sync` for the required
dependency groups (e.g. `tools` and `cucumber`).
- Added Docker image build validation for both production and
development AI engine images.
- Updated workflow cache configuration and Docker build context where
required.
- Removed obsolete Python requirements files that are no longer needed
after the migration.
- Applied minor Python code modernizations, including import cleanup,
modern built-in generic type annotations (`list[...]`, `tuple[...]`,
`float | None`), and small style improvements.
- Removed unnecessary Python formatter/linter extensions from the
development container configuration.
### Why the change was made
- Standardize Python dependency management across the repository.
- Reduce duplicated dependency installation logic in CI.
- Improve workflow performance through shared dependency caching.
- Ensure all Python utilities execute against the same locked dependency
set managed by the engine project.
- Simplify long-term maintenance by eliminating legacy requirements
files and pip-specific workflow steps.

# Description of Changes
The `pre-commit` commands in this repo are inconsistent with the rest of
the dev workflow, as they are impossible to run through Task and they
can cause CI to fail with no way for a developer to run the `pre-commit`
scripts after they've failed. This PR adds `task pre-commit` (and `task
pre-commit:fix`) and then hooks up the existing `pre-commit` hooks and
CI to call the Task rule, so if developers are using pre-commit hooks
then they should still work, but they're also runnable without using
pre-commit at all.
I think it'd be worth reviewing what we're actually running at
pre-commit in the future because I'm not entirely convinced by all of
the scripts that we are running, but this should at least make what we
have properly enforced and usable by all devs.
## Summary
Regression from #6404 (Restructure/frontend editor). Two CI workflows
copy the built installers to the wrong directory, so installer artifacts
(MSI / DMG / DEB / RPM / AppImage) silently vanish:
- **`tauri-build.yml`** (PR/desktop smoke builds) - uploads zero
installer artifacts.
- **`multiOSReleases.yml`** (production releases) - the empty artifacts
are downloaded by `create-release` and fed to `action-gh-release`, so a
release would publish **only the JARs, no desktop installers**.
## Root cause
#6404 moved the Tauri project from `frontend/` to `frontend/editor/` and
updated every **absolute** path (`projectPath`, `cd`, `Get-ChildItem`)
to add the `editor/` segment - but left the **relative** copy targets
`../../../dist`. Those resolve against the (now one level deeper)
working dir after `cd ./frontend/editor/src-tauri/target`:
| | resolves to |
|---|---|
| before #6404 (`frontend/src-tauri/target`) | repo-root `dist/` ✅ |
| after #6404 (`frontend/editor/src-tauri/target`) | `frontend/dist/` ❌
(missing) |
The `cp` fails, repo-root `dist/` (from `mkdir -p ./dist`) stays empty,
and the upload finds nothing. `find -exec cp` failing is non-fatal, so
jobs still report success - that's why it went unnoticed. No release has
shipped broken yet: the last release (v2.11.0, 2026-05-19) predates
#6404 (2026-05-22).
## Fix
Copy to an absolute `$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/dist` in both workflows so the
`cd` can't drift the destination again. This matches where the upload /
signature-verify steps already read from.
## Evidence (run 26574078559, all 3 OS legs)
```
cp: cannot create regular file '../../../dist/Stirling-PDF-windows-x86_64.msi': No such file or directory
##[warning]No files were found with the provided path: ./dist/*. No artifacts will be uploaded.
```
The Tauri builds themselves succeeded - only the copy/upload was broken.
## Test plan
- [ ] `tauri-build` on this PR uploads non-empty `Stirling-PDF-<name>`
artifacts on Windows/macOS/Linux.
- [ ] Next release (or a `workflow_dispatch` of multiOSReleases)
attaches MSI/DMG/DEB/RPM/AppImage to the release.

**TOML language check script improvements:**
* Increased the maximum allowed TOML file size from 500 KB to 570 KB to
accommodate larger translation files.
* Improved file validation logic to more accurately skip or process
files based on directory structure and file type, and added informative
print statements for skipped files.
* Enhanced reporting in the difference check: now, instead of raising
exceptions for unsafe files or oversized files, the script logs warnings
and continues processing, improving robustness and clarity in CI
reports.
* Adjusted the placement of file check report lines for clarity in the
generated report.
**Workflow and CI improvements:**
* Updated the GitHub Actions workflow
(`.github/workflows/check_toml.yml`) to trigger on changes to the
translation script and workflow files, in addition to translation TOMLs,
ensuring all relevant changes are validated.
These changes collectively improve the translation quality and coverage
for Arabic users, enhance the reliability and clarity of the translation
validation process, and ensure smoother CI/CD workflows for localization
updates.

# Description of Changes
This PR mitigates **CVE-2025-8869** (GHSA-4xh5-x5gv-qwph), a
high-severity vulnerability in `pip` ≤ 25.2 that allows arbitrary file
overwrite via unsafe tar extraction in sdist fallback handling.
**What was changed:**
- Added environment variables to all GitHub Actions (`pre_commit.yml`,
`sync_files.yml`) to **enforce binary-only installs**:
- `PIP_ONLY_BINARY=":all:"`
- `PIP_DISABLE_PIP_VERSION_CHECK="1"`
- Updated multiple `.github/scripts/*.txt` requirements to use Python
3.12 as the generation base.
- Upgraded pinned dependencies to latest secure versions:
- `filelock 3.19.1`, `identify 2.6.15`, `platformdirs 4.4.0`, `pyyaml
6.0.3`, `behave 1.3.3`, `pypdf 6.1.1`, `reportlab 4.4.4`, `requests
2.32.5`
- Adjusted file path formatting (`\` → `/`) for consistent
cross-platform compatibility.
**Why the change was made:**
To prevent exploitation of the tar extraction vulnerability in
vulnerable pip versions when installing from source distributions during
CI runs.

# Description of Changes
- Added `testing/**` to `.github/config/.files.yaml` so that changes in
the `testing` directory will trigger the `docker-compose-tests` workflow
in `build.yml`.
- Updated Python dependencies in
`.github/scripts/requirements_pre_commit.txt` and
`testing/cucumber/requirements.txt` to newer versions, including
`behave`, `pypdf`, `reportlab`, and others.
- Introduced new dependencies like `colorama`, `cucumber-expressions`,
`cucumber-tag-expressions`, and `tomli` in the testing requirements to
support enhanced test execution.
- Ensured hash integrity for all dependency updates.
This change was made to ensure that modifications in the testing suite
automatically trigger relevant CI jobs and that testing dependencies
remain up-to-date for compatibility and stability.

and `UnlockPDFFormsController`.
- Minor formatting and comment adjustments in YAML templates and
resource files.
- **Why the change was made:**
- To introduce a clear `app/` directory hierarchy for core, common, and
proprietary modules, improving organization and maintainability.
- To ensure continuous integration and Docker builds continue to work
seamlessly with the reorganized structure.
- To automate OpenAPI documentation generation as part of the CI
pipeline.

# Description of Changes
This PR introduces multiple updates across various files and workflows:
### **What was changed:**
1. **Deleted Scripts:**
- `check_duplicates.py`: Removed script that checked for duplicate keys
in properties files.
- `check_tabulator.py`: Removed script that ensured no tabulators
existed in HTML, CSS, or JS files.
2. **Updated GitHub Actions Workflow (`pre_commit.yml`):**
- Added a weekly schedule trigger (`cron`) for the pre-commit workflow.
- Updated the `create-pull-request` action to exclude certain files
(`.github/workflows/.*`) from formatting.
- Improved detection and handling of staged changes during commit
creation.
3. **`.pre-commit-config.yaml`:**
- Adjusted regex for file matching in `ruff` and `codespell` hooks to
ensure better file filtering.
- Removed local hooks that relied on deleted scripts.
4. **Scripts (`counter_translation.py`):**
- Updated file writing methods to enforce consistent newline characters
(`newline="\n"`).
### **Why the change was made:**
- To simplify the repository by removing unnecessary or outdated scripts
(`check_duplicates.py` and `check_tabulator.py`).
- To enhance the workflow automation by introducing a scheduled run for
pre-commit checks.
- To improve code formatting and file consistency by addressing newline
character issues and refining file exclusions in `pre-commit`.
### **Challenges encountered:**
- Ensuring that all references to deleted scripts were properly removed
from configuration files.
- Verifying that workflow and pre-commit changes do not introduce
regressions in existing automation.
Closes # (issue_number)

# Description
Improvement in `check_language_properties.py`:
Added support for local Windows commands to check language properties
files with an updated script.
Added a new optional argument `--check-file` to specify a single file to
check, replacing the need to process all files in the directory.
Adjusted file path handling to better support Windows paths.
Update to `update-translations.yml`:
Added `workflow_dispatch` trigger to allow manual execution of the
workflow.
Documentation update in `HowToAddNewLanguage.md`:
Added instructions for running the language properties check locally on
Windows, including example commands.
These changes streamline the process of checking language properties
files and provide additional flexibility for local testing and manual
workflow triggering.
