ConnorYoh 54bf32485f feat(portal): adopt TanStack Query with a shared per-resource query layer (#7135)
## Why

The processor/portal loads slowly because every view fetches its data on
mount with no client-side cache — navigating away and back refetches
everything, and shared data (policies, sources, roster, fleet stats) is
fetched repeatedly. This adopts **TanStack Query** so the portal caches,
dedupes, and revalidates instead.

Follows the Users-page proof-of-concept (kept as the reference A/B
example behind a dev flag); DevTools before/after confirmed revisiting a
cached view now costs zero network calls.

## What

**Shared per-resource query layer** (`portal/queries/`) — the mechanism
for both in-view and cross-view sharing:
- `keys.ts` (flavor-agnostic queryKey factory), `adapters.ts`
(`toAsyncState` → the existing `AsyncState` shape, so view bodies barely
change)
- One **base hook per endpoint**; **derived hooks**
(`usePoliciesOverview`, `useProcessorFlow`, `useOnboardingProgress`)
compose them
- The bundle functions (`fetchPolicies`, `fetchProcessorFlow`,
`useOnboardingProgress`) are decomposed into base queries — otherwise
the caches wouldn't dedupe against each other

**Migrated:** Documents, Policies, Pipelines, Sources + all of Home's
fetching cards. Mutations use `invalidateQueries` (Policies' `version`
bump removed; Source/Pipeline builders invalidate-then-navigate;
ConnectionsTab + S3 picker share one cache).

**SaaS `/team/my` collapse:** `resolveTeam()` reads through the shared
cache (`ensureQueryData`), so roster + teams resolve it once (2→1), with
a direct-fetch fallback when no provider is mounted.

`QueryClientProvider` is mounted once at the portal root (`PortalApp`),
above the router, so the cache survives navigation.

## Impact on duplicate fetches

- **In-view:** Home `/policies` ×3, `/policies/runs` ×3, `/sources` ×2,
`/v1/editor/deployment` ×2 → **1× each** per mount
- **Cross-view:** Policies / Sources / Users / EditorAdmin /
Infrastructure reuse Home's warmed cache within `staleTime` (no refetch
on navigation)
- **SaaS Users:** `/team/my` 2× → **1×**

## Testing

- Portal typecheck + SaaS typecheck, ESLint (`--max-warnings=0`),
Prettier — all green
- **224 portal tests pass** (existing component tests wrapped in a
shared `QueryClient` test provider)
- New: `queries/sharing.test.tsx` (in-view: 3 consumers → 1 fetch each;
cross-view: remount → 0 refetch) and a `/team/my` collapse assertion in
`UsersReactQuery.test.tsx`

## Notes for reviewers

- Keys are intentionally flavor-agnostic (local vs SaaS routing lives
inside the api fns), so one key addresses whichever backend the flavor
build resolves.
- `staleTime` 30s / `gcTime` 5m defaults; tier-dependent resources key
on tier.
- Users view keeps its dev flag/legacy path deliberately as the
documented reference.

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.
