Replace all references to `openssl rand -hex 32` with `openssl rand -base64 32`
in environment variable examples and documentation. This change standardizes
the recommended method for generating strong random secrets, improving
compatibility and clarity for users configuring authentication and cron secrets.
* refactor(user): overhaul user data cleanup and export for cascading deletes and TTS segment support
Revise user data cleanup logic to ensure proper cascading deletion of user-related
database rows and S3 objects, including shared document and preview artifacts.
Introduce explicit checks for last ownership before removing shared resources.
Add TTS segment cache and audio cleanup to document and user deletion flows.
Expand user data export to include TTS segment entries and audio, job events,
document settings, and linked auth sessions. Update schema with ON DELETE CASCADE
for userTtsChars and userJobEvents. Add new migration scripts and comprehensive
unit tests for cleanup and export scenarios.
* test(user): expand cleanup and export coverage for shared docs and TTS segment files
Add tests for user data cleanup with shared document ownership and for TTS segment
variant export scenarios, including cases with duplicate audio keys and storage
disabled. Refactor cleanup logic to use document row types and transactional
ownership removal with last-owner checks. Update TTS segment cache clearing to
report deleted segment count by unique entry. Adjust export logic to always
include all TTS segment variants and conditionally export file buckets based on
storage availability. Update migration to use NOT VALID/VALIDATE for new
cascading constraints.
* refactor(documents): centralize owned document deletion and add mutation locking
Introduce `deleteOwnedDocument` utility to encapsulate all logic for removing a user's ownership of a document, including TTS segment cache cleanup, preview artifact removal, and S3 blob deletion for last-owner cases. Add `withDocumentMutationLock` to serialize concurrent mutations on the same document, using advisory locks in Postgres and a local queue fallback. Refactor all API routes and user data flows to use these utilities, ensuring transactional safety and preventing race conditions during document deletion or transfer. Update tests for new flows and add coverage for document cleanup sequencing and locking behavior.
* feat(data): enhance anonymous claim to support document settings and TTS segment copy
Expand the anonymous data claim process to include document settings transfer and TTS segment S3 prefix copying. Remove foreign key constraints from user_tts_chars to allow non-user buckets. Update claim modal and onboarding flow to display claimed document settings. Refactor TTS char count transfer to merge all dates and fix upsert logic. Add S3 copy utility for TTS segments and corresponding tests. Update migrations and schema to reflect relaxed constraints.
* refactor(data): improve error handling and rollback for document and TTS segment operations
Enhance robustness of document deletion and TTS segment transfer by improving
error logging, partial rollback, and degraded state reporting. Add best-effort
cleanup and recovery mechanisms to prevent orphaned data and ensure diagnostic
information is captured for unexpected failures. Update user data cleanup to
log and swallow restoration errors without masking primary failures. Refine
claim logic to handle unmapped TTS audio keys safely.
* refactor(data): unify document mutation locking and transaction handling
Replace mutation-lock with document-lock to centralize document mutation
serialization and database transaction management. Introduce runInDbTransaction
utility to abstract SQLite/Postgres transaction differences. Update document
deletion, user data cleanup, and rate limiter logic to delegate transaction
handling and locking to shared helpers. Remove dialect-specific branching and
inline transaction logic for improved maintainability and testability.
BREAKING CHANGE: withDocumentMutationLock is removed in favor of withDocumentLock and runInDbTransaction
* fix(documents): improve rollback error handling in deleteOwnedDocument
Enhance error handling during document deletion by ensuring that failures
in restoring document ownership do not obscure the original error. Log
degraded events when ownership restoration fails after a deletion error,
providing additional context for debugging and monitoring. This change
improves reliability and traceability of document deletion operations.
* feat(tasks): introduce scheduled task engine and admin UI for background jobs
Add a general-purpose scheduled task system with a persistent registry and status tracking, supporting background maintenance jobs such as orphaned blob reaping, expired upload cleanup, job event pruning, and TTS usage retention. Implement a new `scheduled_tasks` table, task engine, and handlers for each maintenance operation. Integrate an admin UI panel for monitoring, manual runs, and configuration of tasks. Update document and user data cleanup flows to delegate shared blob and preview deletion to the scheduled reaper. Add Vercel cron integration for serverless environments.
BREAKING CHANGE: Document and user storage cleanup now relies on background scheduled tasks for shared blob and preview deletion; immediate inline deletion is no longer performed.
* refactor(user): streamline document and TTS segment transfer logic
Simplify user document transfer by consolidating storage and metadata handling. Remove inline deletion of shared blobs; only metadata is moved, and TTS segment transfer is controlled via options. Add `skipStorage` option for test scenarios to bypass storage operations. Update tests to reflect new transfer behavior.
* chore(instrumentation): delegate node-specific setup to separate module
Move Node.js-specific instrumentation logic to a dedicated file. Update
registration to dynamically import the node module only when running in a
Node.js environment. This separation clarifies environment-specific behavior
and improves maintainability.
* ci(config): update scheduled task cron to run daily at midnight
Change cron schedule for /api/admin/tasks/tick from hourly to once daily at
midnight to reduce task frequency and align with updated operational
requirements.
* refactor(tasks): enforce positive interval and improve scheduled task updates
Add database-level check constraints to ensure scheduled task intervals are always
positive for both Postgres and SQLite. Update admin API and UI to support sub-minute
intervals and stricter validation. Refactor scheduled task update logic to upsert
rows, ensuring tasks can be updated even if not yet present in the database.
Improve temporary upload cleanup to delete in paginated batches. Enhance tests to
cover new constraints and update behaviors.
* chore(docker): remove ffmpeg-static from runtime dependencies in image build
Eliminate ffmpeg-static from the production node_modules during Docker image
assembly to streamline the deployment artifact and avoid bundling unused binaries.

Replace the bordered div layout in AdminTasksPanel with the Card component for
improved visual hierarchy. Add a dynamic running indicator using a custom
RunningDot component to clearly show active tasks. Update control alignment and
button states for better usability. Remove Badge-based status display in favor
of a more streamlined appearance.
* feat(tasks): add document blob lease for safe orphan reaping and improve scheduled task robustness
Introduce a document blob lease mechanism to prevent race conditions between document registration and orphaned blob cleanup. The new `document_blob_leases` table ensures that only one process can claim a document blob for mutation or deletion at a time. Update the orphan reaper to acquire a lease before deleting blobs and to re-check for ownership after acquiring the lease, avoiding accidental deletion of in-flight uploads.
Enhance scheduled task infrastructure with per-task fencing tokens to prevent stale runners from overwriting newer results, enforce runtime limits with abort signals, and expose scheduler mode and minimum interval to the admin panel and API. Adjust task handlers to accept a context with abort support, and update documentation and environment variable references for the new cron secret and scheduling behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE: Scheduled tasks now require a `document_blob_leases` table and updated handler signatures. Vercel deployments must set `CRON_SECRET` for scheduled maintenance.
* refactor(admin): add loading skeleton to tasks panel for improved UX
Introduce a TasksSkeleton component to display animated placeholders while scheduled tasks are loading. Replace direct rendering of empty task rows with the skeleton when data is pending, enhancing perceived responsiveness and user experience in the admin tasks panel.
* test: clean up playwright anonymous users
* test: make blob lease expiry deterministic
* fix(documents): improve blob lease release error handling and test stale lease scenario
Handle errors during blob lease release by logging warnings instead of allowing them to mask original results. Update unit tests to verify that releasing a stale lease does not affect a replacement lease.
* refactor(documents): implement exponential backoff with jitter for blob lease retries
Replace fixed retry delay with capped exponential backoff and jitter to reduce
contention and thundering herd effect when acquiring document blob leases. This
improves lease acquisition fairness and efficiency under high load.
Update provider seeding logic and documentation to allow creation of admin/shared providers without requiring an API key. Adjust environment variable handling so that a blank or missing API_KEY is valid when API_BASE is set, enabling support for upstream TTS providers that do not require authentication. Remove defaulting to 'none' for API keys in API routes and ensure headers are omitted when no key is present. Add and update tests to verify correct handling of keyless providers.
BREAKING CHANGE: Providers can now be seeded without an API key; API_KEY is no longer required if API_BASE is set. Existing deployments relying on a non-empty API_KEY for seeding should review their environment configuration.
* 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.

Eliminate the enableDestructiveDeleteActions feature flag from runtime
configuration, admin panel, environment docs, and user settings modal.
Remove all references, toggles, and documentation for this flag. This
simplifies the runtime config and user interface by consolidating
destructive actions under account deletion only.
BREAKING CHANGE: The enableDestructiveDeleteActions runtime flag is no longer supported. Any configuration or code depending on this flag must be updated.
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.
Update .env.example and environment variable documentation to clarify that
FFMPEG_BIN can override the ffmpeg binary path for general audio processing,
not just audiobooks. Note that it is also used by compute worker Whisper audio
decode in addition to audiobook routes.
Remove all references to legacy RUNTIME_SEED_* environment variables from documentation and codebase. Update docs and .env.example to document the new RUNTIME_SEED_JSON and RUNTIME_SEED_JSON_PATH variables for first-boot runtime config and provider seeding. Refactor admin seed logic and runtime config schema to eliminate env-var-based seeding in favor of JSON-based initialization. Update admin panel UI and badges to reflect new seed sources. Remove obsolete env parsing logic and tests for RUNTIME_SEED_* flags. Add new tests for JSON seed behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE: RUNTIME_SEED_* environment variables are no longer supported; use RUNTIME_SEED_JSON or RUNTIME_SEED_JSON_PATH for first-boot runtime config and provider seeding.
Remove TTS cache and upstream tuning environment variables in favor of admin-managed
runtime settings. Add new admin panel controls for TTS retry attempts, upstream timeout,
audio cache size, and cache TTL. Update API routes and TTS generation logic to consume
these runtime-configurable values, enabling live adjustment without redeploy. Update
documentation to reflect the removal of related env vars and the new admin workflow.
- Stream request body in blob upload fallback route to enforce size limits
without buffering entire payload

documentation, and runtime config schema to align with TTS rate limit behavior.
clarify admin panel as the source of truth for enabling PDF parsing rate limits.
implement a generic user_job_events table for tracking compute job creation
enforce configurable burst and sustained limits for PDF layout parsing
add admin panel controls for compute rate limiting and max upload size
update API routes to apply and record rate checks for PDF parse jobs
document new environment variables and admin settings for compute limits
improve IP extraction logic for rate limiting accuracy
add tests for request IP extraction and test namespace gating
This change introduces a robust mechanism to throttle expensive compute operations, such as PDF parsing, on a per-user basis. It provides both burst and sustained rate controls, with admin-tunable parameters and clear user feedback on throttling. The job event ledger enables accurate concurrency and rate enforcement, while new documentation and tests ensure maintainability and clarity.

BREAKING CHANGE: TTS rate limiting is now controlled via Admin → Site features; environment variables for TTS rate limiting are no longer supported and will be ignored.
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.
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.
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.
Eliminate the "none" compute mode and all related code paths, including the NoneComputeBackend, "unsupported" parse status, and PDF margin settings. Parsing is now always available if the app starts successfully, and configuration is limited to "local" or "worker" compute modes. Update types, API routes, client adapters, and documentation to reflect this simplification.
BREAKING CHANGE: "none" is no longer a valid COMPUTE_MODE; only "local" and "worker" are supported. "unsupported" parse status and PDF margin settings are removed.
Introduce support for external compute worker mode (`COMPUTE_MODE=worker`) using a new `WorkerComputeBackend`. This enables offloading heavy ONNX Whisper alignment and PDF layout parsing to a standalone worker service (Redis + BullMQ), improving scalability and compatibility with serverless/limited environments.

- Remove deprecated `scripts/fetch-models.mjs` and related npm script
- Update runtime config SSR injection from `window.__OPENREADER_RUNTIME_CONFIG__` to `window.__RUNTIME_CONFIG__`
- Adjust Next.js config to use new compute mode env var and optimize output file tracing for ONNX dependencies
BREAKING CHANGE: Environment variable names for compute mode, model URLs, and runtime config seeding have changed. Update `.env` files and deployment configs to use `COMPUTE_MODE`, `PDF_LAYOUT_MODEL_BASE_URL`, `WHISPER_MODEL_BASE_URL`, and `RUNTIME_SEED_*` as appropriate. Legacy `OPENREADER_*` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` variables are no longer supported.
Replace the previous whisper.cpp-based word alignment with a fully ONNX-based
implementation using onnxruntime-node and @huggingface/tokenizers. Add new
Whisper ONNX model management, alignment mapping, and spectral analysis modules.
Remove all code and documentation referencing whisper.cpp, update environment
variables, Dockerfile, and docs to reflect ONNX-only alignment. Add unit tests
for alignment and ONNX model logic.
Switch PDF layout parsing to use the PP-DocLayoutV3 ONNX model, replacing the previous Docling-based approach. Update all environment variables, model fetching, and manifest handling for the new model and its artifacts. Refactor block kind taxonomy throughout the codebase, tests, and UI to align with PP-DocLayoutV3 labels, including expanded and renamed block types. Revise document settings, block filtering, and stitching logic to support the new set of block kinds. Update documentation and environment variable references to reflect the model transition.
BREAKING CHANGE: PDF parsing now requires PP-DocLayoutV3 ONNX model and updated environment variables; block kind names and settings have changed throughout the system.
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.
Expand admin panel documentation to detail the transition from live env var
reading to one-shot seeding for TTS providers in v3.0.0. Add warnings about
the impact of rotating AUTH_SECRET on encrypted admin provider keys and the
required manual steps after rotation.
docs(migrations): add schema migration history table
Document the sequence and purpose of each migration introduced in v3.0.0,
clarifying upgrade behavior from v2.2.0 and summarizing schema changes.
chore(env): remove commented default TTS model example from .env.example
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.
Introduce changelog feed manifest support, including client and shared
utilities for fetching and parsing changelog data. Add a new
Settings modal panel for viewing changelog entries, with version
detection based on the current app version. Expose a configurable
changelog feed URL in both environment variables and admin panel
runtime settings. Update documentation and deployment workflow to
support changelog feed generation and consumption. Include unit tests
for changelog utilities.
Eliminate the showAllDeepInfraModels runtime/admin config and all code paths
that allowed restricting Deepinfra's model catalog. Deepinfra now always
shows the full model list regardless of API key or environment variable.
Update documentation, environment examples, admin panels, runtime config,
provider catalog logic, and tests to reflect this change.
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.
