Move encodeParserVersion to a dedicated module for unified access and remove local duplicates. Update all consumers to import from the new entrypoint. Tighten artifact readiness checks in both client and API route to ensure 'ready' is only reported when the artifact is accessible, with retries and stricter validation. Add tests for edge cases and operation state validation.
This change removes legacy server-side PDF parse state management and transitions
to a fully worker-owned model for PDF parsing operations. Key updates include:
- Deletes all code related to server-managed parse state, including:
- parse-state.ts, parse-state-backfill.ts, parse-state-healing.ts,
parsed-pdf-reuse.ts, pdf-parse-operation.ts, and related job logic
- Removes the user-pdf-layout-job queue and associated job logic
- Refactors API routes for parsed PDF documents and events to use the new
worker-owned PDF parse operation flow under src/lib/server/pdf-parse/
- Updates S3 parsed PDF artifact keying to include parser version for
deduplication and compatibility
- Refactors client API and hooks to handle new error and progress reporting
- Removes all tests for the legacy parse state and job system, updating remaining
tests to mock the new worker-owned flow
BREAKING CHANGE: Server no longer manages per-user PDF parse state or jobs.
All PDF parsing is now managed by the compute worker and new artifact keying.
Legacy parse state and jobs are no longer supported. Existing parsed PDFs may
need to be reprocessed for compatibility with the new model.
Refactor Dockerfile to optimize layering, embed entrypoint migration tools and compute worker as deployable bundles, and merge only required dependencies for runtime scripts. Add docker/entrypoint-migration-tools package and update workspace configuration. Refactor PDF parsing to resolve standard font data path robustly at runtime. Update dependencies and output config for Next.js standalone mode. Enhance entrypoint script to launch embedded compute worker from deployed bundle.
- Dockerfile now deploys migration tools and compute worker as separate bundles
- compute/core/pdf uses new pdfjs-runtime utility for robust font path resolution
- docker/entrypoint-migration-tools added for migration script dependencies
- scripts/openreader-entrypoint.mjs launches embedded worker from deployed bundle
- next.config.ts enables standalone output and includes standard_fonts in tracing
- Dependency updates across package.json and compute/worker/package.json
BREAKING CHANGE: Docker image structure and runtime entrypoint logic have changed; custom deployment scripts or Docker overrides may require updates.
* refactor(ui): replace anchor tags with next/link in SidebarNavLink and UserMenu
Update SidebarNavLink to use next/link for navigation instead of anchor tags,
ensuring proper routing and improved accessibility in Next.js. Refactor UserMenu
to remove legacy Link wrappers and directly use SidebarNavLink for signin and
signup links. This streamlines navigation components and aligns with Next.js
best practices.
* fix(pdf): handle non-zero viewport origins and improve layout model ordering
Update normalizeTextItemsForLayout to correctly apply viewport transforms,
including non-zero page origins, ensuring accurate mapping of PDF text items
to top-left coordinates. Refactor runLayoutModel to implement a custom order
sequence builder for layout regions using model order logits, improving
region ordering consistency with model semantics. Update related tests to
cover viewport transform edge cases.
* refactor(pdf): improve text normalization with font ascent and vertical overlap logic
Enhance text normalization by incorporating font ascent and descent data to more accurately position glyphs, especially for decorative initials. Update merge logic to better detect line membership using vertical overlap, ensuring drop caps and overlapping glyphs are merged correctly. Extend tests to cover these layout scenarios.
* style(range): redesign slider with precision gauge and ruler ticks
Revamp the range input to feature a minimalist "precision gauge" style.
Introduce a hairline rail, ruler notches for discrete steps, and a slim
needle thumb. Add CSS variables and logic for per-instance tick sizing
and coloring. Remove bulky inline class-based styling in favor of
centralized CSS for improved maintainability and visual clarity.
* refactor(ui): modularize PDF loader and range slider visuals
Move PDF layout scan visualization and range slider styles into dedicated CSS
modules, isolating their styles from the global scope. Integrate PdfLayoutScan
component into the PDF viewer loader UI for animated parse progress. Refactor
progress bars to use a reusable progress-fill class with animated sheen effect.
Update range input to use CSS module for precision gauge styling.
* style(reader): remove grid overlay from PdfLayoutScan visualization
* refactor(api): add staleness detection for inflight worker operation states
Integrate isWorkerOperationStateStale checks into document parse API endpoints to ensure inflight worker operation states are not reused if stale. Introduce helper for staleness detection and corresponding unit tests. Enhance SSE event streaming with keepalive intervals and improve progress acknowledgment error handling.
* feat(worker): recover and fail stale in-flight pdf ops on startup
Add orphaned operation recovery logic to detect and mark stale in-flight pdf_layout jobs as failed during worker startup. Extend OperationStateStore with listOpStates for state enumeration. Update tests and documentation to cover recovery behavior and new environment variable COMPUTE_PDF_JOB_ATTEMPTS.
* refactor(worker): distinguish staleness thresholds for running and queued pdf ops
Update orphan recovery logic to apply separate timeouts for 'running' and
'queued' pdf_layout operations. Adjust tests to verify that only stale
'running' operations are failed, while stale 'queued' operations remain
untouched.
* feat(worker): extend orphan recovery to handle whisper_align ops and improve logging
Update orphan recovery to detect and fail stale 'running' whisper_align operations
in addition to pdf_layout. Refactor recovery logic to generalize staleness checks
across operation kinds and enhance log output with detailed operation info.
Expand tests to verify correct handling of both whisper_align and pdf_layout
operations in running and queued states.
* refactor(control-plane): introduce revision-based CAS for operation state updates
Add revision tracking and compare-and-set (CAS) semantics to operation state
stores, enabling atomic state transitions and preventing lost updates. Extend
the OperationStateStore interface with getOpStateRecord and compareAndSetOpState
methods. Update orchestrator and worker runtime to utilize CAS for marking
operations as failed only if the state is unchanged. Enhance in-memory,
JetStream, and test control plane implementations to support revision logic.
This change improves concurrency safety and correctness of operation state
management across distributed components.
* feat(ui): add parse failure state to PDF layout scan animation
Display a distinct "parse halted" visual state in the PDF layout scan
component and PDF viewer page when parsing fails. The loader animation
is replaced by a static, dimmed page with an alert glyph and updated
styling, ensuring users are not misled by an active animation after a
failure. CSS and component logic updated to support the new state.
* feat(worker): extract orphaned operation recovery to module with periodic sweep
Move orphaned operation recovery logic into a dedicated orphan-recovery module,
introducing a periodic sweep timer that triggers recovery every 15 seconds while
the worker is connected. Refactor runtime to delegate orphan detection and
handling to the new module, improving modularity and maintainability. Add
unit tests for orphan-recovery to ensure correctness.
* fix(ui): adjust PDF viewer layout and update parse loader description
* refactor(pdf): streamline layout model region extraction and update test coverage
- Replace custom order sequence logic with softmax-based class selection in runLayoutModel
- Remove unused sigmoid and buildOrderSequence functions
- Simplify detection loop to filter and map regions directly
- Add targeted tests for layout model extraction logic
- Update CSS animation naming for consistency
- Clarify test description and add inline comments for orphan recovery scenario
* fix(pdf): add strict validation for layout model output shapes and extend test coverage
Add explicit error handling for invalid or inconsistent pred_boxes and logits array lengths in runLayoutModel to prevent silent failures. Expand test suite to verify correct region filtering and error scenarios, ensuring only labeled regions are returned and malformed outputs are handled robustly.
* docker fixes
* fix(worker): default COMPUTE_PREWARM_MODELS to false and update docs, env, and compose
Set COMPUTE_PREWARM_MODELS to false by default in runtime, docker-compose,
and .env.example to avoid pre-downloading ONNX models during worker startup.
Update Dockerfile and deployment documentation to reflect this change and
clarify configuration for model prewarming.
* fix(docker): downgrade pnpm version to 10.33.4 for compatibility

BREAKING CHANGE: worker entrypoint is now compute/worker/src/runtime.ts instead of server.ts; legacy Playwright-based unit tests for compute worker are removed in favor of Vitest
Introduce per-page progress events for PDF parsing by adding onPageStarted
hooks throughout the compute worker and core PDF pipeline. Add
compute/worker/src/pdf-progress.ts to encapsulate progress event builders.
Update server logic to emit page start and page parsed events, improving
client feedback during long-running PDF jobs.
Add src/lib/server/compute/abort-like-error.ts and integrate isAbortLikeError
to robustly detect and suppress expected aborts in API event streaming.
Update API route to ignore abort-like errors on worker proxy crash.
Add unit tests for abort-like error detection and PDF progress event
generation. Refactor PDF parse logic to allow empty merged regions without
throwing, ensuring downstream flows remain resilient to edge cases.
These changes improve observability, error handling, and reliability for
document parsing and event streaming.
Introduce `serverLogger` utility based on pino for consistent, structured logging across all server and API modules. Replace direct console logging with `serverLogger` and add request-scoped logging helpers. Update environment variable handling, documentation, and deployment guides to reflect new logging configuration (`LOG_FORMAT`, `LOG_LEVEL`, `COMPUTE_LOG_LEVEL`). Enforce no-console in server code via ESLint and add pino/pino-pretty dependencies.
This change standardizes log output, improves observability, and prepares the codebase for ingestion by log platforms.
Expand documentation and example env files to explicitly distinguish which
environment variables belong in the app/root `.env` versus the `compute/worker/.env*`
files when deploying in external worker mode. This clarifies routing/auth
settings versus worker runtime configuration, reducing misconfiguration risk.
Update all configuration, manifest, and documentation references to use the q4
Whisper ONNX model files instead of int8. Adjust expected file names, hashes,
and environment variable descriptions to reflect this new default. This aligns
runtime, deployment, and developer documentation with the updated model artifact
expectations for improved consistency.
Eliminates the START_EMBEDDED_COMPUTE_WORKER environment variable from configuration,
documentation, and entrypoint logic. Embedded compute worker startup is now strictly
determined by the absence of COMPUTE_WORKER_URL. If embedded mode is triggered,
the presence of the nats-server binary is mandatory; otherwise, an error is thrown.
Documentation and example env files have been updated to reflect this streamlined
behavior and clarify requirements for both embedded and external compute worker setups.
Move shared type contracts from `contracts` to new `api-contracts` module in `compute/core` for clearer API boundaries. Remove legacy `contracts`, `pdf`, and `whisper` index files. Update all imports to use `api-contracts`. Refactor server job logic by replacing `parsePdfJob.ts` with modular `user-pdf-layout-job.ts` and `user-whisper-align-job.ts`, updating all relevant API routes and compute integration. This improves maintainability and separation of concerns across compute and server layers.
Enhance worker operation handling by adding detailed logging for operation
acceptance, reuse, replacement, and stale detection, including opKey hashes and
reasons for replacement. Remove the alignMutex from Whisper alignment logic to
simplify concurrency control and reduce unnecessary serialization of alignment
requests. These changes improve observability and throughput for alignment and
layout parsing jobs.
Introduce COMPUTE_NATS_REPLICAS environment variable to control the number of
replicas for JetStream streams and key-value buckets. Only values 1, 3, or 5
are accepted, defaulting to 1 for other inputs. Update worker server logic and
deployment documentation to describe and support this configuration.
Add lazy NATS connection lifecycle and idle disconnect logic to the worker,
enabling automatic disconnection after 120s of inactivity to support Railway
container sleep. Update deployment docs to describe this behavior, including
caveats and reconnection flow.
Introduce automatic healing for stale PDF parse states in API routes. Add
`isDocumentParseStateStale` utility and use a shared `COMPUTE_OP_STALE_MS`
environment variable (with config getter) to control the stale window for both
worker op replacement and app-side parse-state healing. Update documentation and
environment variable references to reflect new config.
Enables automatic marking of stuck parses as failed, improving reliability and
retry behavior in distributed compute environments.
Align COMPUTE_PDF_JOB_ATTEMPTS default value with new ONNX-based PDF layout
parsing approach by setting it to 1 in environment examples, worker config,
and deployment documentation. This reflects improved reliability and reduces
unnecessary retries for PDF processing jobs.
Standardize compute job concurrency configuration by introducing a shared
COMPUTE_JOB_CONCURRENCY setting, replacing separate PDF and Whisper concurrency
controls. Add cross-platform CPU core detection and thread budgeting utilities,
and update both ONNX model execution and concurrency limiters to use dynamic
thread allocation per job. Refactor environment variable docs and examples to
reflect unified concurrency management. Streamline PDF.js font path resolution
for improved reliability across environments.
Introduce idle and hard cap timeouts for PDF layout parsing in the compute worker,
ensuring long-running jobs are capped and progress is tracked with explicit
timeouts. Refactor NATS JetStream client initialization to use a configurable
API timeout. Update PDF viewer UI to treat parse state as 'pending' by default,
improving clarity during document preparation and parsing. Refine parse loader
labels and progress logic for more accurate user feedback.
Update compute worker to use separate environment variable for PDF job attempts
(`COMPUTE_PDF_JOB_ATTEMPTS`) and set Whisper job max deliveries to 1, clarifying
and separating retry logic between job types. Adjust `.env.example` and deployment
docs to comment out defaults and document new/renamed variables for advanced tuning.
In TTS segment ensure route, introduce explicit timeouts for Whisper alignment
operations, with configurable durations for local and worker modes, improving
robustness and error handling for long-running alignments.
Revise PDF viewer to introduce an explicit 'unknown' parse state and improve
loader and status messaging for better user clarity. Refactor Spinner to use
'currentColor' for border styling and simplify conditional rendering based on
className. Expand compute worker .env.example with explicit concurrency,
timeout, and job attempt variables for enhanced configuration transparency.
Introduce detailed progress reporting for PDF layout parsing, exposing phase and page-level updates to clients. Replace legacy parseStatus with a structured parseState field in the database schema, updating all relevant backend and API logic. Add SSE endpoint for real-time parse progress updates. Update client hooks and UI to reflect granular progress and improve user feedback during document parsing. Includes migration scripts and new parse-state utility module.
Migrate worker and backend contract to an operation-centric model, introducing opKey-based deduplication for Whisper alignment and PDF layout parsing. Add new operation request/state types and update worker endpoints to accept generic operation requests and expose operation status via SSE. Refactor client and server logic to support operation flows. Update deployment docs, environment examples, and Dockerfile to reflect new architecture and dependency management.
Align compute worker to use PORT environment variable consistently across
Dockerfile, docker-compose, and server code, replacing COMPUTE_WORKER_PORT.
Update .env.example and deployment documentation to clarify platform-specific
behavior, especially for Railway and similar environments. This simplifies
configuration and reduces platform-specific issues.
Update worker server to prioritize platform-specific PORT environment variable
when setting the compute worker port. Add robust normalization for
COMPUTE_WORKER_URL, ensuring proper scheme and validation, and trim trailing
slashes for consistency. This enhances reliability in diverse deployment
environments.
Update compute backend interfaces and job logic to consistently handle parsed
PDF layout results as either direct data or S3 object key references. Refactor
result types, local and worker backends, and job processing to support this
pattern. Improves flexibility for large document parsing and object storage
integration.
Add `COMPUTE_JOBS_STREAM_MAX_BYTES` and `COMPUTE_JOB_STATES_MAX_BYTES` to
environment example, worker server configuration, and deployment docs. These
variables allow tuning JetStream resource caps for job queue and state storage
to better fit deployment requirements.
Restructure compute core by extracting job contracts and runtime logic into separate
modules (`contracts.ts`, `local-runtime.ts`) for improved modularity and clearer
API boundaries. Update exports and imports across worker, server, and local
compute backends to use the new modules. Enhance Next.js config to support
dynamic backend selection via build-time constants and aliasing, enabling
seamless switching between local and worker compute modes. Adjust TypeScript
paths and Dockerfile entrypoint to align with the new structure.
Remove legacy .npmrc config. Revise root and worker Dockerfiles to enhance
layer caching, explicitly copy only required build artifacts, and streamline
runtime dependencies. Switch to pnpm workspace-aware install for compute worker
to ensure correct dependency resolution. Set Next.js output to standalone mode
for optimized server builds. Update docker-compose sync targets for consistency.
Expand compute worker documentation to explain NATS authentication using
either a credentials file or raw credentials string, including Synadia Cloud
integration steps. Update environment variable examples and server connection
logic to support both `NATS_CREDS_FILE` and `NATS_CREDS`. Add `.creds` to
.gitignore to avoid accidental credential leaks.
This improves deployment flexibility for cloud and on-prem environments by
supporting multiple authentication methods for NATS JetStream.
Replace Redis and BullMQ with NATS JetStream and KV for job queuing and state management
in the compute worker service. Update environment variables, Docker Compose, and documentation
to reflect the new message queue backend. Adjust dependencies and code to use NATS-based
work queue and key-value storage for durable job processing.
This change improves scalability and reliability of distributed compute workloads by leveraging
NATS JetStream's work queue and persistence features. Documentation and configuration examples
are updated to guide deployments using the new backend.
