# Description of Changes
This change upgrades the project from Gradle **9.6.0** to **9.6.1**
across all build environments to keep the toolchain consistent and
aligned.
### What was changed
- Updated the Gradle Wrapper to **9.6.1**.
- Updated all GitHub Actions workflows using
`gradle/actions/setup-gradle` to install Gradle **9.6.1**.
- Updated all Docker build stages to use the `gradle:9.6.1-jdk25` image
with the corresponding pinned image digest.
- Regenerated the Windows Gradle wrapper script, resulting in minor
comment updates (`Gradle` → `gradlew`).
### Why the change was made
- Keep the project up to date with the latest Gradle patch release.
- Ensure all local, CI, and Docker build environments use the same
Gradle version.
- Benefit from the latest bug fixes and maintenance improvements
included in Gradle 9.6.1.

## What
CI cost/routing cleanup. Four changes, each reversible with no code
deleted.
### 1. Disable Depot repo-wide (reversible)
Depot ran on trusted (non-fork) triggers via the `is_fork` output of
`_runner-pick.yml`, driving both the `depot-*` runner selection and the
Depot docker build actions. It's now disabled everywhere behind a single
kill-switch:
- `_runner-pick.yml` gains a dedicated `use_depot` output, forced
`false` via `DEPOT_ENABLED=false`. `is_fork` stays truthful for trust
gating (e.g. `build-enterprise` skipping on forks).
- All `runs-on:` and `USE_DEPOT:` expressions now key off `use_depot`,
so every job falls back to `ubuntu-latest` + buildx.
- `settings.gradle` Depot remote build cache (`cache.depot.dev`) gated
behind `depotCacheEnabled = false`.
**Switch back on:** set `DEPOT_ENABLED=true` in `_runner-pick.yml` (and
`depotCacheEnabled = true` in `settings.gradle`). Depot then reactivates
on trusted triggers exactly as before.
### 2. arm64 PR docker build only on Dockerfile changes
`test-build-docker.yml` was building `linux/amd64,linux/arm64/v8` on
every PR matching the broad `project` filter. With Depot off, the arm64
leg runs under slow QEMU emulation on every code PR. New `dockerfiles`
path filter (`docker/**/Dockerfile*`) gates the arm64 leg: normal code
PRs build amd64 only; PRs that touch a Dockerfile still build amd64 +
arm64. arm64 is still fully exercised on the base-image publish and on
release.
### 3. Tauri PR build -> Linux only, unsigned, deb-only
The PR path built the full 3-OS matrix (Windows + macOS-universal +
Linux), plus the flaky Linux AppImage pass (#6127). PRs now build Linux
only (fastest + cheapest to compile) via a new `minimal` input on
`tauri-build.yml`: Linux deb only, no rpm, no AppImage. The full signed
multi-OS matrix still runs on release, and nightly still warms the Rust
cache with all-OS defaults (unchanged).
Tradeoff: Windows/macOS desktop build breaks are caught by nightly
(all-OS) rather than the introducing PR.
### 4. CI self-testing routing
Editing `build.yml` only matched the `project` filter, so a change to
how e2e / enterprise / tauri / engine jobs are dispatched didn't
actually run those jobs. Added a `ci` anchor (`build.yml` +
`.github/config/.files.yaml`) that every job-gating area filter now
includes, so editing the router or the filter config runs every job.
Also added the orphaned reusable workflows (`e2e-*`,
`frontend-validation`, `docker-compose-tests`, `test-build-docker`,
`check-openapi`, `check-licence`) to their area filters so editing a
reusable workflow self-tests.
## Validation
- All workflow YAML + `.files.yaml` parse; anchor resolution verified
(every job-gating filter resolves to include the `ci` paths).
- Gradle evaluates `settings.gradle` cleanly; `spotlessGradleCheck`
passes.
# Description of Changes
## What was changed
- Updated all GitHub Actions workflows using Gradle from older versions
(9.3.1 and 9.5.1) to Gradle 9.6.0.
- Updated the Gradle Wrapper distribution URL to use Gradle 9.6.0.
- Updated all Gradle-based Docker build stages to use the
`gradle:9.6.0-jdk25` image and corresponding image digest.
- Aligned CI, Docker, and local development environments on the same
Gradle version.
- Included the regenerated `gradlew` script changes produced by the
Gradle wrapper update process.
## Why the change was made
- Ensures consistent Gradle versions across local development, CI
workflows, and Docker builds.
- Takes advantage of the latest Gradle 9.6.0 improvements, fixes, and
compatibility updates.
- Reduces the risk of version mismatches causing build or deployment
inconsistencies.
- Simplifies maintenance by standardizing the build toolchain throughout
the repository.

# Description of Changes
Currently, it's not possible to develop the backend on Mac without
manually signing the JPDFium binaries yourself since macOS will reject
running the unsigned binaries. [We've now updated JPDFium to sign the
Mac binaries in
v1.0.2](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/JPDFium/releases/tag/v1.0.2),
so update to use that version.
## 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.
## Add Taskfile for unified dev workflow
### Summary
- Introduces [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) as the single CLI entry
point for all development workflows across backend, frontend, engine,
Docker, and desktop
- ~80 tasks organized into 6 namespaces: `backend:`, `frontend:`,
`engine:`, `docker:`, `desktop:`, plus root-level composites
- All CI workflows migrated to use Task
- Deletes `engine/Makefile` and `scripts/build-tauri-jlink.{sh,bat}` —
replaced by Task equivalents
- Removes redundant npm scripts (`dev`, `build`, `prep`, `lint`, `test`,
`typecheck:all`) from `package.json`
- Smart dependency caching: `sources`/`status`/`generates`
fingerprinting, CI-aware `npm ci` vs `npm install`, `run: once` for
parallel dep deduplication
### What this does NOT do
- Does not replace Gradle, npm, or Docker — Taskfile is a thin
orchestration wrapper
- Does not change application code or behavior
### Install
```
npm install -g @go-task/cli # or: brew install go-task, winget install Task.Task
```
### Quick start
```
task --list # discover all tasks
task install # install all deps
task dev # start backend + frontend
task dev:all # also start AI engine
task test # run all tests
task check # quick quality gate (local dev)
task check:all # full CI quality gate
```
### Test plan
- [ ] Install `task` CLI and run `task --list` — verify all tasks
display
- [ ] Run `task install` — verify frontend + engine deps install
- [ ] Run `task dev` — verify backend + frontend start, Ctrl+C exits
cleanly
- [ ] Run `task frontend:check` — verify typecheck + lint + test pass
- [ ] Run `task desktop:dev` — verify jlink builds are cached on second
run
- [ ] Verify CI passes on all workflows
