# add·ideas Toolbox Portal

`toolbox-portal` is the static launcher and release assembler for the add·ideas
browser toolbox. Version `0.1.0` reads one same-origin catalogue, shows each app
as a full-page launch card, and keeps personal pins, ordering, visibility, and
appearance in the current browser.

The v1 boundary is intentionally small:

- apps remain separately versioned and released repositories;
- `@add-ideas/toolbox-contract` owns manifest, catalogue, and URL validation;
- the portal navigates to apps—there are no iframes, plugins, remote modules, or
  runtime-loaded application code;
- the assembler copies already-built, exact ZIP artifacts and never builds app
  source or resolves a `latest` release.

## Development

Requirements: Node.js 22 or newer and npm 11 or newer. The committed `.npmrc`
selects the public, token-free package scope on Gitea; registry credentials are
not required to install the Toolbox SDK packages. Install and verify the portal:

```sh
npm ci
npm test
npm run lint
npm run build
npm run dev
```

The package lock resolves the `^0.1.0` SDK range to the published `0.1.1`
packages. A sibling SDK checkout is only needed when intentionally developing
the SDK and portal together.

Vite uses `base: './'`, so the built portal works at `/` or a nested static path.
The development catalogue at `public/toolbox.catalog.json` points to assembled
paths (`./apps/pdf/` and `./apps/xslt/`). Those manifests will correctly appear
as unavailable until an assembled release is being served.

## Catalogue and launches

The portal fetches `./toolbox.catalog.json`, validates it with the shared
contract, and then validates each enabled manifest. A bad individual manifest is
reported without hiding valid apps; a bad or unreachable catalogue gets a retry
state. An empty valid catalogue gets its own empty state.

Internal launch links stay same-origin and receive the exact catalogue URL in a
`toolbox` query parameter. For example:

```text
/apps/pdf/?toolbox=https%3A%2F%2Ftoolbox.example%2Ftoolbox.catalog.json
```

Apps discover that context through the shared shell/contract and retain their
standalone fallback when no context is present. External catalogue entries open
according to their declared launch mode and do not receive toolbox context.

Personal settings use the namespaced local-storage key
`@add-ideas/toolbox-portal:v1:preferences`. The preferences panel can reset,
export, and import the versioned JSON document. The portal itself does not
transmit preferences. Because Toolbox apps share an origin, code explicitly
trusted in an app can access same-origin browser storage; review each app's
privacy and executable-code warning. Light, dark, and system modes are supported.

## Exact release assembly

Every app release ZIP must put these items at its archive root:

```text
index.html (or the entry declared by toolbox-app.json)
toolbox-app.json
CHANGELOG.md
LICENSES/
SOURCE.md
...built static assets
```

The app release should also publish a matching `.sha256` sidecar. The manifest
must declare the pinned reverse-DNS id and version. Application and portal
versions are independent.

`release/toolbox.lock.json` is the reviewed v0.1.0 lock. Its URLs and checksums
pin the published PDF Tools 0.3.4 and XSLT Tools 0.3.2 release bytes. Use
`release/toolbox.lock.example.json` as the template for a future release and
verify every downloaded asset before committing updated values. Artifacts may be:

- a path relative to the lock file;
- a `file:` URL; or
- a credential-free HTTPS URL to an immutable release asset.

For a private Gitea release, download the exact asset first and put its local
path in the lock. Do not put credentials in a lock URL.

Build the portal and assemble the distribution:

```sh
npm ci
npm test
npm run build
npm run assemble -- \
  --lock release/toolbox.lock.json \
  --portal-dist dist \
  --output build/toolbox \
  --archive build/add-ideas-toolbox-0.1.0.zip
```

Existing output is refused. Pass `--force` only when replacing those exact
paths is intended. A successful run produces:

```text
build/toolbox/
├── index.html
├── toolbox.catalog.json       generated from the lock
├── toolbox.release.json       ids, versions, targets, checksums
├── LICENSE.txt
├── SOURCE.md
├── THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt
├── THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md
└── apps/
    ├── pdf/
    └── xslt/

build/add-ideas-toolbox-0.1.0.zip
build/add-ideas-toolbox-0.1.0.zip.sha256
```

The assembler verifies SHA-256 before opening an artifact, validates every app
manifest with `@add-ideas/toolbox-contract`, requires its id/version to equal the
lock, and smoke-checks each declared entry, icon, and packaged manifest asset
after extraction. It rejects insecure or credential-bearing redirects, HTTP,
`latest` aliases, ZIP traversal, absolute paths, symlinks, special files,
duplicate paths, oversized entries, and unsafe compression ratios. Canonical
path checks protect source and output trees even through symlink aliases, and
publication rolls all outputs back if a staged rename fails. Artifacts are
unpacked only under `apps/<locked-target>`. The assembler never runs artifact
content.

The archive writer sorts file names and fixes ZIP timestamps and modes so the
same assembled directory produces stable bytes. To package an already assembled
directory separately:

```sh
npm run package:static -- \
  --input build/toolbox \
  --output artifacts/add-ideas-toolbox-0.1.0.zip
```

This also emits a `.sha256` sidecar.

## Container image

`Containerfile` serves only the assembled files with unprivileged nginx on port 8080. It adds restrictive browser headers, same-origin isolation, immutable
caching only for Vite-hashed assets, and revalidation for all other files.
Assemble first, then:

The packaged policy intentionally does not grant CSP `unsafe-eval`. SaxonJS's
`ixsl:eval()` extension is therefore unsupported in this deployment profile;
normal local XML/XSLT transformations do not require that permission.

```sh
podman build -f Containerfile \
  -t git.add-ideas.de/zemion/toolbox:0.1.0 .
podman run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  git.add-ideas.de/zemion/toolbox:0.1.0
```

For a local deployment, copy `compose.example.yaml` to `compose.yaml` and run
`docker compose up --build -d` (or the Podman Compose equivalent).

Publish both common architectures from a buildx-enabled workstation or Gitea
runner:

```sh
docker login git.add-ideas.de
docker buildx build \
  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  --file Containerfile \
  --tag git.add-ideas.de/zemion/toolbox:0.1.0 \
  --tag git.add-ideas.de/zemion/toolbox:0.1 \
  --push .
```

The default unprivileged nginx image is the security-fixed `1.31.3-alpine`
baseline pinned to its reviewed multi-architecture digest. Re-resolve and review
that digest whenever the base image is upgraded, then record it in the release
notes.

## Manual Gitea publication checklist

No credentials belong in this repository. Before the first release, create the
`zemion/toolbox-portal` Gitea repository and grant the workstation or runner
permission to push code, releases, and container packages.

1. Run `npm ci`, `npm test`, `npm run lint`, and `npm run build` from a clean
   checkout of the intended portal tag.
2. Publish each app's versioned ZIP, `.sha256`, `toolbox-app.json`, changelog,
   and licence notices in its own Gitea release.
3. Verify downloaded app assets with `sha256sum -c <asset>.sha256`; copy those
   exact values into a reviewed toolbox lock.
4. Run the assembler and serve `build/toolbox` from a nested test path. Open
   both apps, switch between them, and confirm the encoded `toolbox` context.
5. Verify the distribution with
   `(cd build && sha256sum -c add-ideas-toolbox-0.1.0.zip.sha256)`.
6. Commit the reviewed lock, tag the portal source (for example `v0.1.0`), and
   push the branch and tag to Gitea.
7. In Gitea, open **Releases → New release**, select the tag, and upload the
   static ZIP plus its `.sha256` file. Do not use a mutable “latest” URL in a
   future lock.
8. Build and push the AMD64/ARM64 OCI image as shown above. Record the resulting
   multi-architecture manifest digest in the release notes.

For Gitea Actions, store registry credentials as repository secrets, check out
the exact tag, install with `npm ci`, run the same verification/assembly commands,
and upload only the already-created ZIP/checksum and OCI image. The workflow
must not re-resolve app versions or substitute a newer release.

## Licensing

Portal source is `AGPL-3.0-only`; see `LICENSE`. The contract is Apache-2.0, and
each assembled application retains its own licence and notices. An assembled
ZIP/container is an aggregate of those independently licensed components; see
`THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` and each `apps/<slug>/LICENSES/` directory.
