ConnorYoh 3fa0f30d43 Portal: prep for SaaS launch — hide unfinished sections, fix api client, docs link (#6921)
## What this changes

Getting the portal ready to show the world on SaaS. A few things bundled
in here:

**Developer docs tab** — now opens https://docs.stirlingpdf.com/ in a
new tab instead of taking you to an empty page (we haven't built the
in-app docs page yet).

**Hid the bits that aren't finished yet — SaaS only:**
- Took the Agent Builder button off the Sources page.
- Removed the Components page.
- Infrastructure: the tabs that aren't ready (Deployments, Security,
Models, Storage) are greyed out as "coming soon". API keys and Audit
stay live. Also dropped the "Manage editor deployment" button.
- Removed the floating AI assistant blob.

**Fixed the SaaS api client.** Before this, only the usage/billing page
actually reached the backend — everything else (sources, users,
policies, etc.) was going to the vite dev server with the wrong login,
so it never worked. Now every portal call goes to the one SaaS backend
using the Supabase login.

Self-hosted is left exactly as it was — all the SaaS hides go through
the saas override layer, so self-hosted still shows everything.

## Testing
typecheck (all variants), full test suite, both builds, lint + format —
all green.

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.
