Eliminate all code paths, configuration, and documentation related to running
without authentication. Require AUTH_SECRET and BASE_URL at startup, updating
middleware, server logic, and runtime checks to assume auth is always enabled.
Simplify onboarding, settings, and test helpers to reflect mandatory auth.
Update environment examples, Docker and deployment docs, and CI/test configs.
Remove no-auth-specific UI flows, test cases, and feature toggles.
Eliminate the errorCode property from server logger calls, error contract types, and API error bodies throughout the codebase. This reduces duplication and streamlines error reporting, relying on structured event names and error classes for identification. All affected API routes, server logic, and logging utilities have been updated for consistency. Documentation directory added for future reference.
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.
Migrate PDF parsing to use ONNX Docling layout model for structured block extraction, enabling improved TTS segmentation and chaptering. Add compute backend abstraction for heavy tasks (alignment, layout parsing) with configuration via `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE`. Integrate block-level locators and document settings for per-document PDF parsing options. Update S3 storage for parsed PDF JSON, add migration and schema changes, and extend client and server APIs for parsed data and settings. Remove legacy word highlight flag in favor of compute capability detection.
- Add ONNX model download, local/none compute modes, and `onnxruntime-node` dependency
- Update PDF viewer and TTS pipeline to use parsed blocks and block-level locators
- Add document settings storage and APIs for per-document PDF options
- Update S3 storage layout for parsed PDF JSON
- Add admin/config/docs updates for new compute and parsing features
- Remove obsolete word highlight runtime flag and UI
BREAKING CHANGE: PDF parsing and word highlighting now require `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE=local` and ONNX model; document settings and S3 layout updated; legacy word highlight flag removed.
Update GitHub Actions workflows to latest action versions and improve pnpm usage by introducing per-package workspace configs. Add docs-site/pnpm-workspace.yaml and update Dockerfile/package.json for better monorepo support. Upgrade dependencies across main and docs-site packages for compatibility and security. Refine TypeScript types and hooks for improved type safety and maintainability.
Introduce `enableUserSignups` runtime setting to allow administrators to control
whether new accounts can be created. Update environment variable and documentation
references to support this feature. UI elements for account creation are now
conditionally rendered based on this flag. Signup attempts are blocked server-side
when disabled, including email, OAuth, and anonymous upgrades.
Add `assertUserSignupAllowed` utility for consistent enforcement and corresponding
unit tests to verify policy behavior.
Add database-backed runtime configuration for feature flags and TTS provider credentials, editable via a new admin UI panel. Replace static NEXT_PUBLIC_* and TTS provider env vars with admin-managed settings stored in the database and injected at SSR for client access. Implement admin-only panels for managing shared TTS provider credentials (with encrypted API keys) and live site feature flags. Add schema migrations, API routes, React contexts, and hooks for SSR-injected runtime config and live updates. Update client and server logic to resolve configuration from the database at runtime, enforcing admin restrictions and supporting migration from legacy env-based config.
BREAKING CHANGE: Feature flags and TTS provider credentials are now managed at runtime via the admin UI. Environment variables are only used for initial seeding and are ignored after first boot. Existing deployments must migrate configuration to the admin panel.
