# Description of Changes Follow-up to #7518, picking up two mobile rough edges found while going over that branch. Two changes, one commit each. ## 1. Tool search back in the tool list (mobile) Tool search lives in the workbench bar's super search, which on mobile sits on the Workspace slide. So searching for a tool meant swiping off the tool list, typing, then swiping back. This puts a filter at the head of the tool panel on mobile. Reuses the existing `ToolSearch` component in `mode="filter"`, the same one the desktop fullscreen picker uses. Drives `setSearchQuery` on `ToolWorkflowContext`, so the query, filtering and grouped results are all existing paths. `ToolPanel` takes a new `showSearch` prop; `RightSidebar` passes `showSearch={isMobile}`. Desktop renders exactly as before. **To test:** - Open the editor at a phone-width viewport (under 1024px). - A "Search tools..." field should sit above Favourites / Recommended in the Tools pane. - Typing filters into grouped results. Clearing goes back to the compact list. - It hides once a tool is open, and comes back on the way out. - On desktop the field should not appear at all. ## 2. The mobile overflow menu opened with nothing in it `WorkbenchBarMobileActions` rendered its kebab trigger unconditionally. But every item inside is gated on `currentView === "viewer"` or `!isCustomView`. In a `custom:*` workbench both are false, so the dropdown was empty. `WorkbenchBarDesktopActions` renders nothing in that case, so this only showed on phones. Now returns `null` when neither group applies, with the two conditions named so the trigger and the items can't drift apart again. **To test:** - Phone-width viewport, load a PDF. - Open a tool with its own workbench view: Compare, Get Info report, Show JS, Validate Signature, Edit Table of Contents, or PDF Text Editor. - The kebab at the right of the workbench bar should be gone entirely, rather than opening an empty menu. - Back in the viewer or page editor it should still be there, with Print / Download / Save As / Close.
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 lintingtask 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/, oxlint, 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.
