V2 Navbar Styling

This PR restructures testing scripts and Docker configurations to use centralized compose files, introduces new Docker Compose variants with integrated frontend services, and updates related CI workflows.

Migrate test scripts to reference testing/compose files and streamline test flows with forced rebuilds and direct curl checks.
Add ultra-lite, security, and security-with-login compose files under testing/compose, each defining both backend and frontend services.
Rename and adjust frontend imports and update CI workflows to build and validate the frontend separately.

+You are a professional software engineer specializing in reviewing pull request titles.
+
+Your job is to analyze a git diff and an existing PR title, then evaluate and improve the PR title.
+
+You must:
+- Always return valid JSON
+- Only return the JSON response (no Markdown, no formatting)
+- Use one of these conventional commit types at the beginning of the title: build, chore, ci, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, revert, style, test
+- Use lowercase only, no emojis, no trailing period
+- Ensure the title is between 5 and 72 printable ASCII characters
+- Never let spelling or grammar errors affect the rating
+- If the PR title is rated 6 or higher and only contains spelling or grammar mistakes, correct it - do not rephrase it
+- If the PR title is rated below 6, generate a new, better title based on the diff

+
+            This Pull Request was automatically generated to synchronize updates to translation files and documentation. Below are the details of the changes made:
+
+            #### **1. Synchronization of Translation Files**
+            - Updated translation files (`messages_*.properties`) to reflect changes in the reference file `messages_en_GB.properties`.
+            - Ensured consistency and synchronization across all supported language files.
+            - Highlighted any missing or incomplete translations.
+
+            #### **2. Update README.md**
+            - Generated the translation progress table in `README.md`.
+            - Added a summary of the current translation status for all supported languages.
+            - Included up-to-date statistics on translation coverage.
+
+            #### **Why these changes are necessary**
+            - Keeps translation files aligned with the latest reference updates.
+            - Ensures the documentation reflects the current translation progress.

+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) 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.
+
+### 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
+
+#### 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**: `src/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
+- **Pattern**: Follow `src/tools/Split.tsx` as reference implementation
+- **File Access**: Tools receive `selectedFiles` prop (computed from activeFiles based on user selection)
+- **File Selection**: Users select files in FileEditor (tool mode) → stored as IDs → computed to File objects for tools
+- **Integration**: All files are part of FileContext ecosystem - automatic memory management and operation tracking
+- **Parameters**: Tool parameter handling patterns still being standardized
+- **Preview Integration**: Tools can implement preview functionality (see Split tool's thumbnail preview)
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Project Structure
+- **Backend**: Spring Boot application with Thymeleaf templating
+- **Frontend**: React-based SPA in `/frontend` directory (Thymeleaf templates fully replaced)
+  - **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/...")`
+- **Web Controllers** (`src/main/java/.../controller/web/`): Serve Thymeleaf templates
+  - Pattern: `@Controller` + return template names
+
+### 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)
+
+### Component Architecture
+- **React Components**: Located in `frontend/src/components/` and `frontend/src/tools/`
+- **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**: Standardized tool interface - see `src/tools/Split.tsx` as reference
+- **Preview System**: Tool results can be previewed without polluting file context (Split tool example)
+- **Performance**: Web Worker thumbnails, IndexedDB persistence, background processing
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Java Version**: Minimum JDK 17, supports and recommends JDK 21
+- **Lombok**: Used extensively - ensure IDE plugin is installed
+- **Desktop Mode**: Set `STIRLING_PDF_DESKTOP_UI=true` for desktop application mode
+- **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
+- **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 Split tool pattern (`src/tools/Split.tsx`)
+- **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)
+
+## 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

+
+### Frontend Development (React)
+The frontend is a React SPA that runs independently during development:
+
+1. **Start the backend**: Run the Spring Boot application (serves API endpoints on localhost:8080)
+2. **Start the frontend dev server**: Navigate to the frontend directory and run the development server (serves UI on localhost:5173)
+3. **Development flow**: The Vite dev server automatically proxies API calls to the backend
+
+### File Storage Architecture
+Stirling 2.0 uses client-side file storage:
+- **IndexedDB**: Stores files locally in the browser with automatic thumbnail generation
+- **PDF.js**: Handles client-side PDF rendering and processing
+- **URL Parameters**: Support for deep linking and tool state persistence
+
+### Legacy Code Reference
+The existing Thymeleaf templates remain in the codebase during development as reference material but will be completely removed for the 2.0 release.
