 ### Language & files

 - Write ES modules, not CommonJS — we transpile and build as needed.
- TypeScript preferred for new files in the backend and extensions; convert existing JS there opportunistically when you're already touching a file. The GUI and puter.js are plain JavaScript — don't introduce TypeScript files in them.
- In plain-JS files, typing with JSDoc (`@type`/`@param`/`@returns`, `@typedef` for shared shapes, using the TypeScript type system) is encouraged. API types must not be `unknown` or untyped `...args`: spell out the real parameter and return shapes, unless the value passes through transparently to an upstream layer that owns its type. puter.js has stricter rules ([below](#types)).
- Make new types findable: descriptive `PascalCase` names, exported from the obvious entry point. A type used from many places goes in the owning module's `types.ts` (e.g. [src/backend/controllers/types.ts](src/backend/controllers/types.ts)); a type with a single consumer can stay next to it.
- Naming: `camelCase` for variables and functions, `PascalCase` for classes and files containing a class (`AuthService.ts`). **Prefer `camelCase` for all new code**, including parameters and internal object properties. `snake_case` is reserved for external contracts that already use it: wire/JSON keys, stable API error codes, public option names that already ship as `snake_case`, and established `puter_*` namespaced fields. Don't rename those (it's a breaking change), and don't add new `snake_case` beside them; a camelCase local can carry a value into a wire key (`{ operation_id: operationId }`).

+- Naming: `camelCase` for variables/functions, `PascalCase` for classes and files containing a class (`AuthService.ts`). **Prefer `camelCase` for all new code** — new local variables, parameters, functions, and internal object properties. `snake_case` is reserved for identifiers that are part of an external contract: wire/JSON keys sent to or received from the backend, stable API error codes, public option names that already ship as `snake_case`, and established `puter_*` namespaced fields. Don't rename those (it's a breaking change), but don't introduce new `snake_case` alongside them either — a camelCase local can carry a value into a `snake_case` wire key (`{ operation_id: operationId }`).

 ### Comments

-Prefer self-documenting code. Comment only when the _why_ is non-obvious or a usage detail would trip the next reader. **A comment is a sentence or two**: one or two lines of `//`, a few of `/** ... */` JSDoc. State the constraint and stop. Don't restate the code, narrate history ("used to swallow the failure, which meant…"), argue the design, or explain parameters the signature already shows. Reasoning that needs paragraphs belongs in a design doc.

-Don't reference the current task, PR, or version; those rot. **No ticket references** (`PUT-1234`, `// fix for FOO-99`) in code, comments, or test names: describe the why in domain terms. Section dividers use plain ASCII (`// -- Section --`), never box-drawing characters.

 ### Security & privacy

@@ -47,179 +45,97 @@ Before opening a PR, scan the diff for:

 When in doubt, return less. Auth-, permission-, or data-export-related changes deserve an explicit callout in the PR description.

-Commit messages and PR descriptions never credit anyone or mention a bug report. For security fixes, state what the change does mechanically ("scoped tokens do xyz now"), not the vulnerability or how it could be abused.
-
-### Reuse and abstraction
-
- **Search before you build.** Before writing a type, helper, cache/TTL map, retry, lock, pagination, validator, serializer, error mapper, host/email normalizer, or provider adapter, grep `src/backend/util/`, the owning layer, and `extensions/` for one that exists, and extend it instead of adding a parallel copy. If you find two copies, consolidate them or flag it. Before opening the PR, check the diff for new helpers that duplicate existing ones.
- **One path per operation.** Single-item variants call the batch version. Legacy and v2 endpoints share one service method. A second entry point (OIDC, WebDAV, admin, cron) calls the same service as the first instead of re-implementing it.
- **No abstraction without a second caller.** No base class, interface, factory, registry, decorator, or option bag with one implementation. No wrappers that only forward, no interface methods nobody calls, no methods only tests call.
- **Variants are data.** Providers or models that differ only in constants (base URL, prices, key names) are entries in a table read by one implementation, not one file each.
-
-### Hot paths
-
- No per-row queries or awaits in loops: use the store's batch method (add one if missing) or [src/backend/util/concurrency.ts](src/backend/util/concurrency.ts).
- Bound everything: queries get `LIMIT`/pagination, in-memory maps get eviction, outbound calls get a timeout and a size cap.
- Build clients, catalogs, and config-derived lookups once, not per request.
- Listeners on fleet-wide events (`fs.write.file`, route lifecycle) return before any I/O for requests they don't concern.
-
 ### Working rules of thumb

 - **Run it, don't just compile it.** "It type-checks" is not "it works." Exercise the code path end-to-end at least once.
 - **Read the neighbors before writing.** Match the shape of similar things already in the tree. If you think the existing pattern is wrong, raise it — don't quietly diverge.
 - **Test new behavior.** Every new function, endpoint, driver method, or logic branch gets a test; every bug fix gets a regression test that fails before the fix. If something is genuinely hard to test, skip it but say so in the PR.
- **Boy Scout Rule, proportional to the change.** In files you're already touching, fix the typo, the dead import, the missing test, the bit you had to read twice. Don't ride a refactor along with a bug fix.
- **Understand what you commit.** AI assistance is fine; shipping code you couldn't have written, debugged, or defended in review is not.
- **A limit change is not done until the docs change with it.** Every rate limit, concurrency cap, quota, and allowance in the code is published in [src/docs/src/rate-limits-and-quotas.md](src/docs/src/rate-limits-and-quotas.md) — an undisclosed limit is one developers discover as a service failure. If a PR moves any of these numbers, the same PR updates that page. The numbers live in `src/backend/controllers/fs/limits.ts` (filesystem), `src/backend/drivers/util/aiLimits.ts` (all AI drivers), per-driver `rateLimit`/`concurrent` configs, and `src/backend/data/subPolicies/` (free-tier allowances).

-## Local development
-
-To test a local Docker build, use the gitignored `docker-compose.override.yml` described in [Self-Hosting → Building from source](doc/self-hosting.md#building-from-source-instead-of-pulling). Keep local build settings there, not in `docker-compose.yml`.
-
-When budget checks block unrelated local API tests, you may set `"unlimitedMetering": true` without further approval. Merge it into the gitignored `config.json` (`npm start`) or `puter/config/config.json` (Docker) and restart Puter. It covers every account on that instance, guests included, and usage is still recorded. Keep normal settings when testing budget or subscription enforcement, and leave shared defaults unchanged.

 ## Backend

-Controllers → drivers (optional) → services → stores → clients, all configured from `IConfig`. Each layer depends only on the layers beneath it and receives them through its constructor; `PuterServer` ([src/backend/server.ts](src/backend/server.ts)) wires them. [doc/architecture.md](doc/architecture.md) is the full reference.

-Layer rules:
+A public API can be exposed through either a controller or a driver — both are supported; prefer a controller when you need fine-grained control over routes and gates. [doc/contributing-apis.md](doc/contributing-apis.md) has the decision guide with links to the decorators and middleware for each.

- **Don't reach across layers.** Controllers don't poke clients; services don't register routes; lower layers never import from controllers. If you want to, the abstraction is wrong; fix the abstraction.
- **Gates run at the edge.** Controllers and drivers validate input and apply auth gates; services assume the caller is already authenticated and authorized.
+Cross-layer rules:
+
+- **Don't reach across layers.** Controllers don't poke clients; services don't register routes. If you want to, the abstraction is wrong — fix the abstraction.
 - **Don't call sideways within a layer for code reuse.** Two services needing the same logic means a util/helper, not a service-to-service dependency.
- **A table's store owns every query against it.** Services, controllers, and extensions don't run raw SQL/redis against a table that has a store; add the store method so cache invalidation stays with the write.
- **Drivers and controllers stay thin.** Domain rules a second entry point needs (signup, app CRUD, worker deploy, AI routing/billing) live in a service, not in the first driver or controller that needed them.
- **Prefer explicit arguments over [`Context`](src/backend/core/context.ts) (ALS).** Use it only for request-scoped values that would otherwise thread through many layers; today that's mostly `actor` and `req`.

 ### Extensions

-[extensions/](extensions/) is for **non-crucial parts of the system**: Puter must still work with the extension removed. If core needs to call it, it belongs in core ([whoami](extensions/whoami.ts) is the cautionary example). Inside an extension, follow the same layered structure, unless it only needs a few route handlers, in which case the `extension.get/post/...` helpers are enough on their own. The `extension` API is in [doc/architecture.md](doc/architecture.md#extension-api).

If core needs to call it, it belongs in core, not an extension (see [whoami](extensions/whoami.ts) as the cautionary example). The `extension` global ([src/backend/extensions.ts](src/backend/extensions.ts)) exposes:

+- `extension.registerClient/Store/Service/Driver/Controller(name, Class)` for first-class additions.
+- `extension.on(event, handler)` and `extension.get/post/put/delete/patch/use(path, opts?, handler)` for the lightweight common case. `opts` is the same `RouteOptions` controllers use.
+- `extension.import('client' | 'store' | 'service' | 'controller' | 'driver')` — lazy proxy to instantiated core objects. `extension.config` exposes live config.
+
+Follow the same layered structure inside an extension — unless it only needs a few route handlers, in which case the lightweight helpers are enough on their own.

 ### Backend tests

 - Vitest; test files sit next to the code they test (`*.test.ts` / `*.test.js`). Run with `npm run test:backend`.
 - **Mock data, not methods.** Stub inputs (fixtures, fake rows, payloads), not the function under test or the layer beneath it — over-mocking produces tests that pass while production breaks. If you must mock, mock at a real boundary (a client/external service).
 - **Prefer the test server over mocking deps.** `setupPuterTestEnv()` in [src/backend/testUtil.ts](src/backend/testUtil.ts) boots a fully in-memory backend; hit a real database/client shape where reasonable — integration shapes catch what mocked unit tests miss.
- **Test code, not docs.** Never write a test that reads a file under `src/docs/` and asserts on its wording or numbers. Docs are kept in step by the PR (see the limits rule above) and checked in review; a test that greps a markdown page fails on every rewording and verifies nothing about behavior.

 ## puter.js (the SDK)

-[src/puter-js/](src/puter-js/) is the public SDK. It ships live from `https://js.puter.com/v2/` with no version pinning, so every change reaches every existing app at once; see [Rule zero](doc/contributing-apis.md#rule-zero-dont-break-callers).
+[src/puter-js/](src/puter-js/) is the public SDK. It ships live from `https://js.puter.com/v2/` with no version pinning — every existing app picks up changes immediately. Treat every observable behavior (signatures, response fields, error codes) as something a production app depends on.

 Layout: SDK modules in [src/puter-js/src/modules/](src/puter-js/src/modules/) (one file or directory per area — `FileSystem/`, `kv/`, `ai/`, …), shared plumbing in [src/puter-js/src/lib/](src/puter-js/src/lib/), generated (gitignored) type declarations in `src/puter-js/types/`, API tests in [src/puter-js/tests/api/](src/puter-js/tests/api/), UI e2e tests in [src/puter-js/tests/e2e/](src/puter-js/tests/e2e/), developer docs in [src/docs/](src/docs/).

-Every SDK change carries all five of these, or the PR is incomplete. [doc/contributing-apis.md](doc/contributing-apis.md) has the steps for each.
+Language & typing: puter.js source is plain JavaScript — never TypeScript files — typed via JSDoc. **The JSDoc is the source of truth for the SDK's types.** `src/puter-js/types/` is `tsc --emitDeclarationOnly` output: the SDK build (`npm run build` in `src/puter-js`) generates it, the npm tarball ships it so TypeScript consumers get declarations, and git ignores it — it is never committed and never edited by hand. `npm run check:puterjs:types` generates it in CI and type-checks the result without `skipLibCheck`. The one hand-written declaration file is [src/puter-js/index.d.ts](src/puter-js/index.d.ts), which decides what is public and re-exports the generated names.

-1. **Backward compatibility**, unless a maintainer explicitly signs off on a break ([rules](doc/contributing-apis.md#maintaining-an-existing-api)).
-2. **Tests** in the cross-platform API suite, or the Playwright harness for desktop-rendered `puter.ui.*` ([steps](doc/contributing-apis.md#6-tests)).
-3. **Docs** in [src/docs/src/](src/docs/src/) that match the implementation exactly ([steps](doc/contributing-apis.md#5-docs), [writing rules](#developer-docs)).

- Public (exposed) methods carry JSDoc types for parameters and return value, with one `@overload` block per accepted call form; those overloads _are_ the published signature. Typing private helpers is at your discretion; annotate where it helps the next reader.
- Tag members `@internal`, not `@private`, to strip them from the generated declarations.
- Declarations must match runtime behavior exactly. A wrong type is worse than a missing one.
-
-Declare a shape where it belongs and reference it elsewhere with an `import(...)` type. A shape more than one file needs lives in the module's `types.js`; one shared across modules lives in [src/puter-js/src/lib/types.js](src/puter-js/src/lib/types.js); one with a single consumer can stay next to it:

+let entries = [];
+```

-The reference has two kinds of page:
+Every SDK change carries all five of the following — a puter.js PR missing one is incomplete:

- **API overview pages** (`<Area>.md`, such as [KV.md](src/docs/src/KV.md)) give a quick top-level picture of what the API is for and what it can do, with short examples and a list of its functions that links every function page in the area. Leave out the details. The first sentence of the intro says what the API is about. This is a judgment call too: when the API depends on a Puter concept the reader may not know, such as Teams, the first sentence can name it and the sentences after it explain it.
- **Function pages** (`<Area>/<method>.md`) hold the details: parameters, defaults, return values, errors, limits, and edge cases.
+1. **Backward compatibility.** Mandatory unless a maintainer explicitly signs off on a break. Existing call signatures keep working (including both positional and options-object forms where a method supports them); new parameters are optional with defaults that preserve old behavior; never rename or repurpose existing params, response fields, or error codes. New parameter names are `camelCase` (existing `snake_case` stays for compatibility). Say in the PR how existing callers are unaffected.
+2. **Tests.** Add or extend a suite in [tests/api/suites/](src/puter-js/tests/api/suites/) (`<area>.suite.ts`; register new suites in `suites/index.ts` — no globbing). One suite runs unchanged on node, browser, and workerd via `npm run test:puterjs`; never write a per-platform test. The runners execute the **built** bundle — run `npm run build:workerLib` after SDK changes or the suite silently tests stale code. For `puter.ui.*` methods rendered by the desktop, use the Playwright e2e harness instead — see [src/puter-js/TESTING.md](src/puter-js/TESTING.md).
+3. **Docs.** New or changed APIs update [src/docs/src/](src/docs/src/): the method page (`<Area>/<method>.md`, with frontmatter and a runnable example) and the area overview when the surface changes. Docs are the contract users code against — signatures, defaults, and return shapes must match the implementation exactly.
+4. **Types.** Type the change in JSDoc on the implementation, then run `npm run check:puterjs:types` to confirm it still produces declarations that type-check. Name any new type in [src/puter-js/index.d.ts](src/puter-js/index.d.ts) if consumers should be able to import it. Declarations must match runtime behavior exactly — a wrong type is worse than a missing one.
+5. **Error handling.** Reject/throw `{ message, code }` objects with stable `snake_case` codes, matching the existing modules (see `KV.js`). Validate cheap preconditions client-side before making the network call; pass backend errors through unchanged rather than swallowing or re-wrapping them. Error codes are API surface — changing one is a breaking change.

-An overview page answers "what is this API and is it what I need?", and a function page answers "how exactly does this call behave?". A change to one function usually only touches that function's page, so a new `kv.list()` option goes in `KV/list.md` without a matching update to `KV.md`. Don't copy a function's options, limits, or edge cases onto the overview page for completeness. Where a detail goes is a judgment call, not a hard rule: update the overview when a change affects how someone would describe the API as a whole.
-
-When you add a page, add it to [src/docs/src/sidebar.js](src/docs/src/sidebar.js) under its area, or it won't show up in the navigation.
-
-**Sidebar order.** Order the API areas in the sidebar by how often developers use them, most common first. Overview stays first and Objects stays last. Inside an area, order the pages by use too, and keep pages that make up one feature next to each other, such as `share()`, `unshare()`, `listShared()`, and `listSharedByMe()`. A group goes where its most-used page would go. A helper that only supports another function, such as `listModels()` for `chat()`, goes by its own use. Put create, list, get, update, and delete in that order, and constants such as `MAX_KEY_SIZE` last. The function list on the area's overview page uses the sidebar's order. When you add a runnable example, add its HTML to `src/docs/src/playground/examples/<slug>.html`, register the slug in [src/docs/src/examples.js](src/docs/src/examples.js), and link the code block to it by putting the slug after the language with a semicolon (` ```html;kv-set `).
-
-### Function page layout
-
-A function page opens with one sentence that says what the function does, in its own paragraph, such as "Given a prompt, generate an image using AI." Put any more detail in the paragraphs after it.
-
-After the intro, a function page has these `##` sections, in this order:
-
-1. Syntax
-2. Parameters
-3. Return value
-4. Errors, if the function has any
-5. Sections for specific topics, if the page needs them, with `## Model-specific features` last
-6. Examples
-
-[chat.md](src/docs/src/AI/chat.md) follows this layout.
-
- **Options as a table.** Document an options object as a table with Option, Type, and Description columns. Give each option its own row, even when two options go together, such as `width` and `height`. Order the rows by how often developers use them, most common first, without group rows. In chat.md that's the core options, then reasoning, tools, response handling, request control, and output.
- **Common options in the table, model-specific behavior in its own section.** A page whose function works with many models or providers, such as [chat.md](src/docs/src/AI/chat.md) and [txt2img.md](src/docs/src/AI/txt2img.md), splits its options this way:
-  - **The options table** under Parameters lists the options that work with every model, and describes each one the way it works for every model.
-  - **`## Model-specific features`**, the last section before Examples, covers everything else. It has a `###` for each model family or provider, named after it, such as "OpenAI models" or "Cloudflare models". Under it go the options only some models accept, and the common options a model handles differently, such as a narrower range, other allowed values, or an option it ignores.
-  - **Write there only what's different.** A `###` lists an option only when that model or provider adds it or handles it differently. An option that works the same everywhere stays out, even if the provider supports it, and a model or provider with nothing different gets no `###`.
-  - **Model-specific features is the only place for model-specific details.** Every limit, format, allowed value, default, price, or quirk that applies to some models goes there, in that model's or provider's `###`, and nowhere else. The options table and topic sections (such as Image inputs or Video input) describe what's true for every model and link to Model-specific features for the rest. Don't add a table or sentence there that compares providers or repeats a model's limits. Each copy is another source of truth to keep in sync, and copies drift when a model changes.
-  - **Link the two.** Directly under the options table, put `Some models accept additional options or handle these options differently. See [Model-specific features](#model-specific-features).` A row whose option behaves differently on some models can also end with `See [Model-specific features](#model-specific-features).`
- **A long topic gets its own `##` section.** When explaining an option or feature takes more than a sentence or two, such as function calling or output dimensions, give it a section between Errors and Examples and link to it from the options table. This keeps the reference sections short.
- **Usage patterns are examples.** A way of using the API, such as stopping a stream, goes in a runnable example that the relevant section links to ("See the [stop a stream example](/playground/ai-chat-stop-stream/)."), not in a section of its own.
- **Each example has a `###` heading** under `## Examples`, so every example shows in the table of contents.
-
-### Writing docs
-
-These apply to reference pages and recipes alike.
-
- **Document the developer-facing side only.** The reader is building on top of puter.js, so cover what affects their code: signatures, defaults, return shapes, errors, limits, and behavior they can observe. Leave out internal workings (which service handles the call, storage layout, caching, retries) unless they change what the developer has to do. [rate-limits-and-quotas.md](src/docs/src/rate-limits-and-quotas.md) is the exception: it publishes every limit, including timeouts and caps that come from how the backend works.
- **Document Puter as it runs on puter.com.** The docs are for developers building on production Puter. Leave out behavior that only happens on a self-hosted or differently configured server, such as a provider that isn't set up there.
- **Describe the current state.** Docs aren't a changelog. Write how the API behaves now, without "now", "no longer", "existing code is unaffected", or other wording that compares it to an older version.
- **Verify before you document.** Run the calls you describe against a running Puter instead of inferring behavior from the source.
- **Write plainly.** Use the literal words a developer would say out loud, with contractions and everyday words. No idioms or figurative verbs ("walk away from something shared with you" → "remove your own access", "nothing to page through" → "without pagination"). No formal register ("present only while more pages remain" → "includes a `cursor` if there are more pages to load"). Prefer dev terms such as atomic, concurrent, and insertion order.
- **State the rule, then its consequence, in short sentences.** No metaphor in place of a rule. Name a concrete action ("you can create any files and folders inside it") over an abstract permission ("yours to organize freely"). Cut a sentence that only repeats the next one.
- **Describe behavior directly.** No quoted inner-voice phrases. Write "`isNew` is `true` when the person did not have access before", not "this tells 'I just gave this to someone' from 'they already had it'".
- **Keep references easy to follow.** Name what a list or code block belongs to in the sentence directly above it. Name a thing once and keep that name. Introduce an actor as "a user" before giving them a role: "A user can create a team. The user who creates the team becomes its owner."
- **Sentence mechanics.** Never start a sentence with inline code: write "To store data, use the [`set()`](/KV/set/) method." Link every inline mention of an API to its page, every time. No em dashes, and no colons or semicolons mid-sentence; a colon that introduces a code block is fine.
- **No `##` or `###` headings inside tabs.** The table of contents lists every `##` and `###` heading on the page, including the ones in a hidden tab (an `example-content` block switched by the `example-group` pills), so its links lead to content the reader can't see. Put the heading above the tabs, or use `####` inside a tab, which the table of contents skips.
- **Show the correct way.** No "don't" and no wrong-way-first examples, in recipes and playground examples alike. Mention a wrong approach only when developers already hit it in practice, and state how it fails as a fact: "`add()` reads a plain object as a path map, so the call rejects with …".
-
-### Recipes
-
-Recipes are tested, copy-pasteable patterns for a task, one layer above the per-method reference, often combining several APIs. Agents find them through the `## Recipes` section of `llms.txt`.
-
- **Files.** One `.md` per recipe in [src/docs/src/recipes/](src/docs/src/recipes/), with `title`, `description`, `tags`, and optional `order` front matter; they're picked up automatically. Tags must exist in [src/docs/src/recipe-tags.js](src/docs/src/recipe-tags.js) or the build fails. Quote a `description` that contains a colon followed by a space. Every top-level `.md` in that directory is built as a recipe, so keep other markdown out of it.
- **Title.** Short, Title Case, starts with a verb, and leaves out "to Your App" ("Add Team Support", "Deploy Workers Programmatically"). The slug is the title in kebab case, with no API-name prefix. In `llms.txt` an agent sees only the title and description before deciding to open a recipe, so word them to match the task the reader is trying to do.
- **Description.** Written for someone who has never heard of Puter. Start with "Learn how to", put the action first, and say what the reader's app gains: "Learn how to add file sharing to your app with Puter.js, so users can share files in their Puter account with other people." No API names, no mechanism, no list of example cases, and no "not just …" contrast.
- **Intro.** Explain the situation and why you'd do this, tied to something the reader already knows ("`puter.kv` is your database in Puter.js"). No "Use this when" bullet list.
- **Structure.** Get to the first working call as early as possible, then add validation, rate limits, and sign-in after it. Explain a Puter concept the first time it appears, such as what `me.puter` is or that `puter.workers.exec()` opens the Puter sign-in window. Split recipes by what the reader needs, not by technique, and give a family of recipes a shared tag.
- **Reading order.** A recipe reads top to bottom. Each code block uses only functions and variables from blocks above it, so the reader never has to search further down the page to understand it. Start with a small version that works, and have each section add one case. When a section changes a function from earlier, show the whole new version of that function there. If the code is built up over several sections, end with a `## Full Code` block that has all of it.
- **Link to the reference for full option lists.** Mention only the options the recipe uses, then link to the function page for the rest ("All the sort options are listed on [`puter.fs.readdir()`](/FS/readdir/)."). A copied list of options, rules, or scopes goes stale when the reference changes.
- **Limits.** Mention a limit only when it's the reason for a pattern the recipe uses, such as one wildcard subscription instead of one per key, and link to [rate-limits-and-quotas.md](src/docs/src/rate-limits-and-quotas.md) or the function page for the number. Leave out limits that code following the recipe never reaches.
- **Code.** Platform-neutral: just the code, with top-level `await`. No `<script>` or `<html>` wrapper, no IIFE.
- **Tradeoffs.** Justify a choice with one scenario the reader can picture right away, in about two short paragraphs, or fold each point into the section where it matters. The description states the benefit only.
- **Notes.** Leave out `## Notes` by default. Use it only to point to an architecturally different approach. A limit the recipe needs goes in the section it applies to, and other facts belong on the linked reference page.

+The guiding rule here is **conformity over novelty** — match the existing design and code structure even where you'd personally choose differently. A visually or structurally divergent addition is a defect even when it works.

 - **Reuse existing UI primitives before writing new ones.** Windows and dialogs are `UIWindow*` functions in [src/gui/src/UI/](src/gui/src/UI/); generic pieces already exist (`UIAlert`, `UIPrompt`, `UIContextMenu`, `UINotification`, `UIPopover`, widgets in [UI/Components/](src/gui/src/UI/Components/)). A new window should read like its neighbors: an async function taking an options object, composing an HTML string, wiring behavior with jQuery, delegating to `UIWindow(...)`.
 - **Match the visual language.** Use existing CSS classes (`button`, `button-primary`, window chrome, form styles) and copy the layout patterns of neighboring windows; new styles go in [src/gui/src/css/](src/gui/src/css/) following existing conventions. Verify anything positional (menus, overlays, z-index) on both desktop and mobile viewports.
- **i18n every user-facing string.** No hardcoded UI text — use `i18n('key')` and add the key to [src/gui/src/i18n/translations/en.js](src/gui/src/i18n/translations/en.js).

 - **Shared logic goes in helpers/services.** Reusable non-UI logic belongs in [src/gui/src/helpers/](src/gui/src/helpers/) or [src/gui/src/services/](src/gui/src/services/), not copy-pasted between windows.

 ## Known Non-Issues (Please Check Before Submitting)

 The following have already been reviewed and determined **not to be vulnerabilities**. Reports that only re-describe one of these are **not eligible for a reward** and will be closed as non-issues — even if they include new code references. Please review this list before submitting:

- **XSS / CORS / token issues scoped to `api.puter.com`.** The primary user session cookie lives on `puter.com`, not on the API origin, so reflected/stored XSS, CORS, or token handling on `api.puter.com` is out of scope. This explicitly includes **missing `Content-Security-Policy: sandbox` on any endpoint that serves a file inline** — `/token-read`, `/file`, `/fs/read`, WebDAV, and any MIME type the `applyInlineContentSecurity` allow-list does not cover (`text/xsl`, `image/svg+xml`, `application/xhtml+xml`, …). Script execution on the API origin has nothing to reach: there is no session cookie, no `localStorage`, and no ambient credential there. WebDAV additionally has to return an accurate MIME type for real WebDAV clients. The one exception we _do_ evaluate on its merits is anything that abuses the app-scoped `puter_token_v2` companion cookie set on the API host — if your report does not name a specific credential that is actually reachable from the API origin, it is this non-issue.
- **SSRF via `secureFetch`.** Production routes outbound requests through an isolated proxy that has no access to internal/SSRF-sensitive resources.
- **Attacks that depend on guessing an `appInstanceID` or app UID.** These are random 128-bit secret values and are not considered guessable.
- **Apps invoking drivers, creating workers, or using KV.** Applications are intended to do this; worker permissions are scoped to the owning app. This is by design.
- **App metadata or app user-count "leaks".** This information is currently public by design. This covers **private apps** too: private apps are an unreleased, admin-only beta for paid listings in the Puter App Center. Their `index_url` and other metadata are not secret, the flag is not user-settable, and no production app relies on it. Reports that a private app's metadata is reachable through a sibling route (`/get-launch-apps`, `index_url` drift on the hosting gate, etc.) are normalization work, not vulnerabilities.
- **Worker hot-reload driven by a share recipient.** Sharing a worker's source file with write access is how you let a collaborator change that worker's code and have it deploy live. The redeploy running as the file owner, with the owner's worker credentials, is the intended behavior of that grant — the owner chose to hand out write access to executable code. If you do not want that, do not share the source file with write access.
- **Re-claiming a site or worker name its owner deleted.** A hosted site or worker name that its owner deletes is treated as abandoned by that owner. If one of their apps still points at it, whoever claims the name next serves that app's `index_url` and receives what the app is launched with, and a new app on the same origin may share the old one's identity. Guarding app identities against being recycled this way is ongoing hardening, not a security boundary, so new ways to re-claim an abandoned name, or to inherit an app's tokens or data through one, are not eligible.
- **Share-mode downgrades that do not cascade.** Demoting a delegate does not retroactively revoke the grants that delegate already issued downstream. Shares are independent grants once issued, not a live-evaluated chain. Revoking the downstream grant is a separate, supported action.
- **Metering, credit-hold, and quota inaccuracies.** Credit holds and quota checks are up-front estimates, and actual usage is billed afterwards. Overspend that is bounded and still billed is a correctness bug, including concurrent requests that exceed a hold or quota by some margin; the per-account concurrency and rate-limit gates are the control we rely on. Report these only if you can use a service without it being billed, or overspend without bound.
- **Existence-only oracles.** A response that tells "exists but forbidden" apart from "not found" for a path or ID the caller already supplied, without revealing anything else about it, is hardening.
- **Session and credential lifecycle around 2FA enrollment.** Enrolling in 2FA is not a credential-revocation event: existing authenticated sessions stay valid, and outstanding password-reset links stay valid. Likewise, account-management actions behind the `/user-protected/*` gate are password-gated by design, not TOTP-gated. A recovery code that stops being accepted fails _closed_ — it denies access rather than granting it, so it is a bug report, not a vulnerability.
- **Group permissions** (`/auth/revoke-user-group` and siblings). The group-permission surface is unfinished and not exposed anywhere in the product. Findings there are not reachable by any user.
- **Missing Subresource Integrity (SRI) on external scripts/styles.** Accepted as hardening, not as a vulnerability, absent a demonstrated compromise of the CDN in question.
- **General "token in a URL" / token-lifetime / token-storage designs** — signed directory URLs exposing children, a write signature implying read, app tokens outliving a web session, or the session token being held in `localStorage` on `puter.com`. These are current intended behaviors. Shorter-lived tokens with a refresh flow are on the roadmap; their absence is not a vulnerability on its own. Show a reproducible attack that does not already presuppose script execution on `puter.com`.
- **Missing PKCE, unverified `id_token` signatures, or other OIDC hardening.** Provider tokens are obtained through a server-to-server authorization-code exchange with the provider's token endpoint over TLS, so the resulting `id_token` / userinfo claims are trusted from that channel rather than from local JWKS signature verification — the callback never accepts a caller-supplied `id_token`. Adding local signature / `aud` / `iss` / `exp` checks is welcome defense-in-depth (please open a GitHub issue/PR), but their absence is not an account-takeover vector on its own.
- **JWT "algorithm confusion" / unpinned `algorithms` in `jwt.verify`.** Puter's session tokens are HMAC-signed (HS256) with a server-side secret, and there is no asymmetric public key anywhere in the verification path, so `alg`-substitution attacks do not apply. Explicitly pinning `algorithms` is a fine hardening PR, but it is not a vulnerability.
- **Static-source "SQL injection" in internal pagination.** Findings such as `LIMIT ${limit}` in list/notification queries: the limit is numerically coerced and clamped before it reaches the query, so it is not reachable with attacker-controlled string input. Hardening PRs to the internal stores are welcome, but these are not exploitable as reported.
- **Deprecated `saveTo*` GUI app messages.** The legacy `saveToDesktop` / `saveToDocuments` / etc. app-IPC handlers can create — never overwrite — new files in standard user folders. The behavior is non-destructive, path-traversal-safe, and deprecated (slated for removal); it is not treated as a sandbox escape.
- **Best-practice suggestions** such as login/registration username enumeration (kept intentionally for UX) or unauthenticated unsubscribe links (industry norm).
- **Rate-limiting suggestions for TURN credential issuance** (intentional; not billed per tunnel).
+* **XSS / CORS / token issues scoped to `api.puter.com`.** The primary user session cookie lives on `puter.com`, not on the API origin, so reflected/stored XSS, CORS, or token handling on `api.puter.com` is generally out of scope.

-## Before you open a PR
+## 1. Test it. Run it.

-Check your diff against these sections of AGENTS.md:
+Run the affected code path end-to-end before opening a PR. "It builds" is not "it works."

- [Working rules of thumb](AGENTS.md#working-rules-of-thumb): run it end to end, test new behavior and bug fixes, understand every line you commit (AI assistance is fine), leave touched files a bit better, and publish limit changes.
- [Reuse and abstraction](AGENTS.md#reuse-and-abstraction) and [hot paths](AGENTS.md#hot-paths).
- [Security & privacy](AGENTS.md#security--privacy): expose nothing the caller doesn't need.
+Add tests for new behavior, endpoints, or bug fixes. If something's genuinely hard to test, say so in the PR.
+
+## 2. Follow existing patterns
+
+Match the shape of similar code already in the repo. [doc/architecture.md](doc/architecture.md) is the source of truth for layers, wiring, and naming. If you think a pattern is wrong, raise it — don't quietly diverge.
+
+In plain-JS files, typing is encouraged via JSDoc `@type` annotations using the TypeScript type system, with `@typedef` for shared shapes. Don't type API surfaces as `unknown` or untyped `...args` unless the values are passed through transparently to an upstream layer that owns their type.
+
+## 3. Don't expose system or user information
+
+Scan your diff for stray logs, debug routes, internal paths, secrets, tokens, or user data in errors/responses. When in doubt, return less. Flag any auth, permission, or data-export changes in the PR description.
+
+For private security reports, see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
+
+## 4. AI-assisted code is fine — understood code is required
+
+Don't commit code you couldn't have written, debugged, or defended yourself. Read the diff, run it, and be ready to explain it in review.
+
+## 5. Adding or changing APIs
+
+If you add or change a public API (an endpoint, driver method, or puter-js method), follow [doc/contributing-apis.md](doc/contributing-apis.md) — backward compatibility, [developer docs](src/docs/), types, and tests all move in the same PR.
+
+## 6. Boy Scout Rule — leave it 1% better
+
+![Boy Scout Rule](https://imgs.search.brave.com/DMmIWl5-NuZVtrR9kXBb06AKF8kturkgSW9UMb2-6m4/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9sYXdz/b2Zzb2Z0d2FyZWVu/Z2luZWVyaW5nLmNv/bS9pbWFnZXMvbGF3/cy9ib3ktc2NvdXQt/cnVsZS5wbmc)

+Fix the typo, the dead import, the missing test, the bit you had to read twice. Keep cleanup proportional to the change — no refactors riding along on bug fixes.

 ## Context (ALS)

-[`Context`](../src/backend/core/context.ts), backed by `AsyncLocalStorage`, carries per-request state without threading it through every function signature. The request-context middleware opens a scope per request after the auth probe runs, so anything inside a request handler can call `Context.get('actor')` / `Context.get('req')`. It's used sparingly, mostly for `actor` and `req`; see the [Context rule](../AGENTS.md#backend).

-## Actors
-
-An [`Actor`](../src/backend/core/actor.ts) is who a request is acting as. Its two app fields are not interchangeable: `app` is the app the actor carries *directly* (an app-under-user token), while `effectiveApp` is the app it ultimately acts as — its own, or the one that issued its access token. An access-token actor has no `app` of its own, so a gate that reads `app` answers "no app" for it and falls open.
-
-`makeActor` resolves `effectiveApp` once at construction, and `assertResolvedActor` at the request edge rejects any actor that skipped it — so reading `effectiveApp` needs no fallback. Reach for `app` only where the direct app genuinely is the question, and say why in a comment.
-
- `actor.effectiveApp` — which app is acting. This is the default; nearly every scoping rule, namespace key and attribution wants it.
- `isAppActor(actor)` — a direct app actor specifically. Use it where a token must *not* be treated as its issuer, e.g. the permission scanners that read an app's own grant rows.
- `isPlainUserActor(actor)` — the account acting through nothing at all; `isAccountContext(actor)` for the wider "the account's own reach", which also admits a full-access token.
+Prefer explicit arguments. Reach for `Context` only when the value is truly request-scoped and would otherwise need to thread through many layers.

 #### Middleware and gates

 - **Controller routes** (and extension routes — same options) take [`RouteOptions`](../src/backend/core/http/types.ts): auth gates (`requireAuth`, `requireUserActor`, `noUserSession`, `adminOnly`, `allowedAppIds`, and the access-token controls), `subdomain` routing, per-route `rateLimit`, body parsers, and arbitrary extra `middleware`. The auth flavors are subtle and default-deny — read the JSDoc on each field before picking.
- **Driver methods** get their policies from the `@Driver` options: per-method `rateLimit` (limit/window/backend), `concurrent` in-flight caps (optionally `bySubscription`), `requireSubscription`, `requireReputation`, and `noUserSession`. The `/drivers/call` surface enforces them.
- **Paying accounts only:** `requireSubscription`, as a route option on a controller endpoint or in the per-method `@Driver({ requireSubscription })` block on a driver (`/drivers/call` is one shared route, so a driver's requirement can't live in route options). `true` accepts any plan that isn't free, so a plan an extension registers counts without core naming it; an array of policy ids (`['business', 'pro']`) accepts only those; `false` or leaving it out means no requirement. An empty array is a boot error, since it would read as subscribers-only while admitting everyone. The check is a map lookup on the metering service's cached per-actor subscription. It asks which plan the account is on; `requireCredits` asks whether it has budget left. Deployments with no paid plans (self-hosted installs) turn it off with `meteringEnforcement.subscriptions: false`.
- **Trusted-enough accounts only:** `requireReputation`, as a route option or in the per-method `@Driver({ requireReputation })` block. Opt-in; implies `requireAuth`. The value names a tier, and `reputationGate.tiers` in config sets the score that tier takes, so a deployment can retune it without editing the surface. A tier the running config doesn't define is inert and everyone passes, so an install that doesn't score its accounts never turns traffic away on a score it never computed. `reputationGate.enabled: false` stops every declared gate at once. Denials are a bare 403 `reputation_required` that names neither the score nor the tier. Nothing in the tree declares one yet.
- **A specific verified factor:** `requireVerified` (email, and only under `strict_email_verification_required`), `requirePhoneVerified`, `requireCardVerified`. Opt-in, and the factor must actually have been verified, unlike the default-on gate that turns away accounts still carrying a pending verification the abuse harness asked for. `requireAnyVerified: ['phone', 'card']` is the OR of the last two: any listed factor verified at any point passes, as does a paid plan when `card` is listed (a paying account already has a card on file). Otherwise only the factors the deployment can verify are asked for (an SMS provider configured, a card gate an extension reports on); with none verifiable the gate is inert rather than locking the route on a self-hosted install. A denial carries the first verifiable factor's code plus `factors` (the verifiable ones, in the route's order), so a client can lead with one flow and offer the other. `verifiedFactorGate.enabled: false` in config stops every declared gate at once, e.g. during an SMS-provider outage.
- **Metered spend:** an endpoint that spends metered resources on the caller's behalf (moving file content, object-store requests, anything else the account is billed for) declares `requireCredits: true`, which turns an account with no budget left away with a 402 before the handler runs. Endpoints that only describe or delete things deliberately don't: an account that has run out still has to see what it has, clear it, and reach its billing pages. Drivers have no route options, so they call `assertActorHasCredits` themselves ([src/backend/services/metering/enforcement.ts](../src/backend/services/metering/enforcement.ts)) — see `KVStoreDriver`, which does it once for every method.

-Provider sign-in requires the account's authenticator or a recovery code when 2FA is enabled, including signup callbacks that resolve an existing account. The five-minute challenge uses the same single-use `/login/otp` and `/login/recovery-code` verification as password sign-in. The GUI carries it in a URL fragment and removes it before initialization. A session and successful popup-return proof are issued only after verification; cancelling retains the popup's signed retry context without marking it authenticated.
-
-Disabling 2FA through `/user-protected/disable-2fa` requires both password or OIDC revalidation and either the current six-digit authenticator `code` or an unused recovery code in `code`.

+- Run `npm run check:puterjs:types` — it generates the declarations and type-checks the published surface without `skipLibCheck`. **Never edit anything under `src/puter-js/types/`**: it is gitignored build output, produced by the SDK build and shipped in the npm tarball, and the next build overwrites it.
+- Name the new type in [src/puter-js/index.d.ts](../src/puter-js/index.d.ts) if consumers should be able to import it. That file is the one hand-written declaration in the package: it decides what is public and re-exports nothing else.

 - New parameters are optional, with defaults that reproduce the old behavior exactly.
 - Never rename, repurpose, or remove existing parameters, response fields, or error codes. Don't change types, ordering guarantees, or which fields are present when.

-# Embedded app browser
-
-`GET /embed/apps` on the deployment's main GUI origin renders the same app browser
-as the dashboard's Apps tab, without the desktop or dashboard navigation.
-
-It supports search, paging, saved folders, and saved ordering. It uses the same
-installed-app and recommendation data as the dashboard, including the user's
-removed recommendations. Editing, adding, reordering, renaming, and uninstalling
-are disabled. Selecting an app opens it in a new browser tab at its own URL, the
-same way the dashboard does, and the host page stays open. The app's token isn't
-put in the URL: the app's SDK asks the embed for it once the tab loads, so the
-embed must still be open then. If the iframe is removed first, the app falls back
-to its normal sign-in. Apps that need the desktop (built-in and godmode apps,
-private apps the user can't open, or a failed token request) open `/app/<name>`
-on the GUI origin, cut off from the embed. Website shortcuts open their external
-destination with no opener.
-The embed follows the OS's light or dark setting. A host with a fixed theme adds
-`theme=dark` or `theme=light` to the fragment (`#user=<uuid>&theme=dark`), since
-Chromium doesn't pass an iframe's `color-scheme` on to the page inside it.
-Apps opened from the embed carry `utm_source=puter.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=app_browser_embed`;
-the desktop and dashboard send `utm_campaign=desktop` and `utm_campaign=dashboard`.
-
-## Session and framing
-
-The embed shows the GUI session only to the user the host page is signed in as.
-The host names that user's `uuid` (from `puter.auth.getUser()`) in the iframe
-URL's fragment, as `/embed/apps#user=<uuid>`. The embed reads the session, asks
-`/whoami` which user it belongs to, and shows the signed-out view unless the two
-match. So a host that names no user, a malformed one, or a user other than the
-session's, gets the signed-out view, and so does a session the API refuses. A
-failed `/whoami` check shows the error state. The fragment never reaches the
-server and can only narrow what the embed shows: naming the session's own user
-gives the same view as a direct visit to the GUI. Changing the fragment of a
-loaded embed reloads it.
-
-The embed reads the existing GUI session from local storage on its own origin.
-If that storage holds no session, the embed gets the session from the GUI origin's session cookie through
-`/get-gui-token`. This matters in Safari, which gives a framed origin separate
-local storage under each top-level origin, so even a sibling subdomain's iframe
-can't see the GUI's stored token. The session cookie is still sent, because the
-host is on the same site. The embed doesn't write that token back to storage. It
-does not create accounts, show a login dialog, or accept a token from its parent.
-Being signed in on a subdomain alone does not create a session on the main GUI
-origin.
-
-Without a session it can show, the embed shows the recommended apps (`RecommendedAppsService`)
-that the server put in the page, and nothing else: no installed apps, folders, or
-saved order, and no puter.js. Selecting one opens it at the same URL a signed-in
-launch uses, with no opener and no token on offer, so the app signs in on its own.
-Apps that need the desktop open `/app/<name>`. If the page carries no recommended
-apps, or a load fails, the embed displays an unavailable/error state.
-
-The route's `Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors` allows the GUI origin and
-the embedding page's origin when it is exactly one label under `config.domain`
-with the scheme and port from `config.origin`. Subdomains the server answers
-itself (`api`, `dav`, `js`, `www`, the native-app hosts, and the host of
-`api_base_url`) and the user-content hosting domains (`static_hosting_domain`,
-`private_app_hosting_domain`, and their `_alt` variants) are refused. For
-example, `https://puter.com` permits `https://spreadsheet.puter.com` but not
-`https://api.puter.com`, and `http://puter.localhost:4100` permits
-`http://spreadsheet.puter.localhost:4100` but not
-`http://someone.site.puter.localhost:4100`. The embedding page is read from the
-iframe request's referrer, so the host must not suppress it (the browser default
-`strict-origin-when-cross-origin` is enough). All ancestors in a nested iframe
-chain must be allowed. Other GUI routes retain `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN`.
-
-The embed accepts no query parameters. Requests with a query string redirect to
-the same embed path so SDK bootstrap parameters cannot override the session or API
-origin. The host needs to allow the GUI origin in its own `frame-src` CSP if it
-sets one. If sandboxing the iframe, allow scripts, same-origin storage, popups,
-and popups to escape the sandbox.

-A first-party app that signs in with puter.js can place `<puter-user-menu>` from
-the SDK in its header instead (see `src/puter-js/src/ui/components.md`). It opens
-this embed with the signed-in user named and closes it when the app's sign-in
-changes. The rest of this section is for a host that builds the iframe itself.
-
-The iframe can be shown whether or not the user is signed in. Create it when
-“More apps” is opened, naming the signed-in user in its fragment, and remove it
-on close so reopening loads current apps and preferences. Remove it when the
-host's own sign-in changes too, such as on sign-out, so an open embed doesn't
-keep the previous user. The host owns the modal and close control;
-there is no parent messaging API and no app list or credential is sent to it.
-The app browser fills its iframe and responds to its size. It shows a spinner until its apps load.
-
-This example assumes `puterOrigin` comes from the host app's deployment
-settings. Translate the button and frame labels using the host app's
-localization system.
-
-```html
-<button id="more-apps" type="button">More apps</button>
-<dialog id="apps-dialog" aria-label="More apps">
-  <button id="close-apps" type="button">Close</button>
-  <div id="apps-frame"></div>
-</dialog>
-<style>
-  #apps-dialog { padding: 12px; width: min(900px, 90vw); }
-  #apps-frame iframe { width: 100%; height: min(650px, 75vh); border: 0; }
-</style>
-<script type="module">
-  const puterOrigin = 'https://puter.com'; // Use this deployment's configured origin.
-  const dialog = document.querySelector('#apps-dialog');
-  const container = document.querySelector('#apps-frame');
-  const trigger = document.querySelector('#more-apps');
-
-  trigger.addEventListener('click', async () => {
-    const url = new URL('/embed/apps', puterOrigin);
-    // Signed out, the embed shows the recommended apps.
-    const user = puter.auth.isSignedIn() ? await puter.auth.getUser().catch(() => null) : null;
-    if (user) url.hash = `user=${encodeURIComponent(user.uuid)}`;
-    const frame = document.createElement('iframe');
-    frame.title = 'Your apps';
-    frame.src = url.href;
-    container.replaceChildren(frame);
-    dialog.showModal();
-  });
-  document.querySelector('#close-apps').addEventListener('click', () => dialog.close());
-  dialog.addEventListener('close', () => {
-    container.replaceChildren();
-    trigger.focus();
-  });
-</script>
-```
-
-## Implementation
-
-`createAppBrowser` in `src/gui/src/UI/Dashboard/AppBrowser.js` owns the shared UI
-and data behavior; its `guestApps` option is the signed-out list. `TabApps.js`
-injects desktop actions. `appsEmbed.js` supplies new-tab launching through
-`launchAppInTab` (signed in) and `guestAppLaunchUrl` (signed out) in
-`src/gui/src/helpers/appTabLaunch.js`, which build the same app URL as
-`launch_app`, and loads only the embed entry, its SDK, and shared styles. `embedHostUser` in
-`src/gui/src/helpers/embedHostUser.js` reads the host's user from the fragment, and
-`embedHostTheme.js` beside it applies the host's theme.
-The normal GUI webpack build emits `bundle.min.js`, `apps-embed.min.js`, and `feedback-embed.min.js`.
-The `/embed/apps` route puts the recommended list in the page's config as
-`guestApps`. No puter.js API or app-list endpoint changes are needed.
-
-## Feedback dialog
-
-`GET /embed/feedback` is the app feedback dialog (`puter.ui.showFeedbackDialog()`)
-for a first-party page, with the same framing rules, query redirect, and
-host-user binding as `/embed/apps`. It sends the feedback for the framing
-page's origin, which the server reads from the referrer and pins with
-`frame-ancestors`; opened top-level, it does nothing. Its page is transparent
-so the dialog's own scrim covers the host.
-
-puter.js uses it on a page one label under the GUI origin, other than the
-subdomains the server refuses, when the page is signed in, framing it in a
-modal `<dialog>` that stays hidden until the embed is ready. A session check that takes longer than 200ms shows a loading scrim
-with a spinner in its place; Escape or a click on it cancels. The embed posts `{ msg: 'feedbackEmbed', state }` to its parent
-(`loading`, then `ready` or `unavailable`) and finally
-`{ msg: 'feedbackDialogClosed', sent }`. It reports `unavailable` without the
-named user's session, or while that user's email still needs confirming, and
-puter.js then uses the `/action/send-feedback` popup, which can sign in. So does
-a frame that never answers, such as one the host's CSP blocks. `feedbackEmbed.js`
-is the entry, sharing `embedSession` in `src/gui/src/helpers/embedSession.js`
-with the app browser; `showFeedbackEmbed` in `src/puter-js/src/lib/guiEmbed.js`
-is the host side.
-
-## Sign-in and file pickers
-
-`GET /embed/sign-in`, `/embed/show-open-file-picker`, `/embed/show-save-file-picker`
-and `/embed/show-directory-picker` serve the same GUI popups as `/action/<action>`
-for a first-party page, with the same framing rules, query redirect, and
-`no-store` as `/embed/apps`. Any other spelling of the path (another case, a
-trailing slash) redirects to it, since the shell boots the desktop for it. They render the normal GUI shell, which names the
-framing page (read from the referrer, pinned with `frame-ancestors`) as
-`gui_params.embed_host_origin`. The GUI then runs the popup boot unchanged, with
-the framing page as `window.opener`, and `window.close()` asks the page to
-remove the frame (`src/gui/src/helpers/popupFrame.js`). Without a framing page
-to answer (opened top-level, or framed by a refused page) it does nothing. The
-popup's parameters come from the fragment instead of the query: `msg_id`,
-`options` and `request_auth`, plus `user` for a picker.
-
-The frame posts `{ msg: 'puterPopupFrame', state }` to its parent: `loading` as
-soon as the shell boots, `ready` once it shows a window or dialog, `unavailable`
-when the page has to use the popup, `provider` when the user picks a sign-in
-provider (below), and `closed` where a popup would close. Its
-answers (`puter.token`, `fileOpenPicked`, `directoryPicked`, `fileSaved`, the
-cancel messages, `sendMeFileData`) are the popup's.
-
-puter.js uses them on a page one label under the GUI origin, other than the
-subdomains the server refuses, unless the page is cross-origin isolated or in a
-frame of another site (which `frame-ancestors` refuses too).
-`showPopupFrame` in `src/puter-js/src/lib/guiEmbed.js` shows the frame in a box
-the size of the popup window, over a scrim, hidden until `ready` and behind the
-loading spinner after 200ms. Escape closes it, on the page or in the frame. One shows per popup, as each
-popup has its own window name: a second picker request of the same kind
-replaces the one showing, and a `signIn()` call made while a framed sign-in is
-open settles with it. On
-screens up to 600px wide the box fills the screen. A frame that is refused,
-never answers, or reports `unavailable` falls back to the popup, opened through
-a consent dialog when the click that asked for it has expired. A reload or navigation the frame
-starts itself (logging out, a sign-out in another tab) names the frame as its
-referrer, so the server refuses it; the page then shows its spinner and opens
-the frame again, once per `ready`.
-
- **Sign-in** (`puter.auth.signIn()`) has no host-user binding: it is how the
-  page gets a user. The box has a close button, which rejects with
-  `auth_window_closed` as closing the popup does. Providers refuse to be
-  framed, so choosing one posts `{ state: 'provider', url }` with the
-  provider's start URL for this sign-in's `msg_id`, then `unavailable`. The
-  page opens the popup straight at that URL, once it checks the URL is the
-  GUI's `/auth/oidc/<provider>/start` for this `msg_id`, and the provider
-  returns it as this sign-in's popup. `attempt_temp_user_creation` keeps the popup, since
-  only the popup creates a temporary account.
- **Pickers** frame only for a signed-in page. The GUI reports `unavailable`
-  unless its session belongs to the user named in `user`, and the page then uses
-  the popup, which can sign in and switch accounts. The token the GUI sends
-  before a picker's answer isn't adopted, since it is for the page's own user.
-  Dismissing the loading scrim settles the picker as cancelled.
-
-## Upgrade
-
-`GET /embed/upgrade` is the deployment's upgrade dialog for a first-party page,
-served like the popups above: the GUI shell with the same framing rules, query
-redirect, exact-path redirect and `no-store`, naming the framing page as
-`gui_params.embed_host_origin`. It runs only when framed by an allowed page.
-
-puter.js frames it on a signed-in first-party page (the same pages as the
-pickers) for `puter.ui.requestUpgrade(details)`, and for the Upgrade button of
-the usage limit dialog a refused call shows there. Elsewhere both keep their
-behavior: inside an app `requestUpgrade()` asks the desktop, and on any other
-page the usage limit dialog opens the dashboard's upgrade page in a new tab.
-
-The frame covers the page with no box or close button, and the GUI page is
-transparent (`html.popup-frame-transparent`) so the dialog's own scrim covers
-the host. The frame allows `payment` as well as `otp-credentials`. Escape on the
-page is left to the dialog, since one there shouldn't drop a payment in
-progress. Its fragment names `user` (the page's signed-in user) and, when the
-refusal gave them, `reason` (`funds`, `subscription` or `storage`) and `method`.
-
-The GUI reports `unavailable` unless its session belongs to `user`, the account
-has no verification or password change waiting (which the frame couldn't be
-closed from), and the deployment defines `window.UIUpgradeAccount` with
-`UIUpgradeAccount.embeddable === true`. Otherwise it runs:
-
-```js
-new UIUpgradeAccount({ attribution: { appUid, reason, method }, onClose }).open_as_window();
-```
-
-`appUid` is the app the framing page's origin resolves to, never one the
-fragment names. `open_as_window()` resolves once the dialog shows, and the GUI
-then posts `ready`. While the page still hides the frame, which Chromium and
-WebKit lay out at 0x0, the GUI posts `ready` first and opens the dialog once
-the frame has a viewport, so a window it opens doesn't center on 0x0.
-`onClose({ upgraded })` must run exactly once, when the
-dialog closes or when it declines to open for the account; the GUI then posts
-`{ msg: 'puterPopupFrame', state: 'closed', upgraded }` and the page removes
-the frame. If `open_as_window()` rejects, the GUI posts `unavailable` instead. `requestUpgrade()` resolves `{ upgraded }`. A call made while the
-frame shows settles with it rather than replacing it, and a call refused while
-it shows still rejects but opens no usage limit dialog over it.
-
-When the frame can't show the upgrade (refused, never ready, `unavailable`, or
-no user to name), puter.js opens the dashboard's upgrade page in a new tab with
-what was refused, through a consent dialog when the click has expired or the
-tab is blocked, and `requestUpgrade()` resolves `{ upgraded: false }`.
-
-## Top-up
-
-`GET /embed/top-up` is the deployment's top-up dialog, where a user with a plan
-buys add-on credit, served and framed like the upgrade: a transparent GUI page
-covering the host with no box or close button, allowing `payment` and
-`otp-credentials`, with Escape left to the dialog. Its fragment names `user`.
-
-puter.js frames it for the **Add credits** item of `<puter-user-menu>`, which
-shows only when whoami reports `subscribed: true` and no `team` paying for the
-account. On a page that can't frame the GUI, the item opens the dashboard with
-`?topup=` in a new tab instead.
-
-The GUI reports `unavailable` unless its session belongs to `user`, the account
-has no verification or password change waiting, and the deployment defines
-`window.UITopUp` with `UITopUp.embeddable === true`. Otherwise it runs:
-
-```js
-new UITopUp({ onClose }).open();
-```
-
-`open()` resolves once the dialog has loaded the account and shows what it can
-buy, and `onClose({ toppedUp })` must run exactly once, when the dialog closes
-or when it declines to open for the account. The GUI then posts `{ msg: 'puterPopupFrame', state: 'closed', toppedUp }`
-and the page removes the frame. When the frame can't show the top-up, puter.js
-opens the dashboard's top-up in a new tab, as it does the upgrade.
-
-While the top-up shows, a call refused for funds still rejects but opens no
-usage limit dialog over it, and `requestUpgrade()` frames nothing over it: it
-resolves `{ upgraded: false }` once the top-up closes.
-
-## Email confirmation
-
-`GET /embed/request-email-confirmation` walks a first-party page's user through
-confirming their email, served like the upgrade: the GUI shell with the same
-framing rules, redirects and `no-store`, run only when framed by an allowed
-page. puter.js frames it on a signed-in first-party page for
-`puter.ui.requestEmailConfirmation()`. Inside an app the desktop shows the same
-windows over the app instead.
-
-Like the upgrade, the frame covers the page with no box or close button, over a
-transparent GUI page, and its fragment names `user`. Escape closes it, on the
-page or on the save-account or code window. On a window, Escape closes that
-window as its close button does, so a code already sent still answers. The GUI
-reports `unavailable` unless its session belongs to `user` and the account has
-no phone, card or password check waiting.
-An email check is fine: the boot skips its own email gate for this action, so
-the user gets one code window they can close.
-
-The GUI then runs `ensureConfirmedEmail` (`src/gui/src/helpers/ensureConfirmedEmail.js`),
-which the desktop's handler uses too: a temporary account gets the save-account
-window first, then an unconfirmed email gets the code window, each at most
-once. When the page's whoami already reads the email as confirmed,
-`requestEmailConfirmation()` resolves `{ response: true }` without framing
-anything, and a confirmation in the frame marks that whoami confirmed for the
-calls after it. An email the GUI reads as confirmed shows nothing. Before
-opening a window the GUI waits for the frame to have a viewport, as the upgrade
-does. It then posts
-`{ msg: 'puterPopupFrame', state: 'closed', confirmed }`, and
-`requestEmailConfirmation()` resolves `{ response: confirmed }`, the field an
-app reads from the desktop's answer. A call made while the frame shows settles
-with it. A frame that is refused, never ready, or `unavailable` resolves
-`{ response: false }`, since there's no popup to fall back to.
-
-## Custom domains
-
-`GET /embed/attach-custom-domain` is the custom domain dialog of
-`puter.hosting.attach()`, the popup at `/action/attach-custom-domain`, served
-like the upgrade: the GUI shell with the same framing rules, redirects and
-`no-store`, run only when framed by an allowed page. puter.js frames it on a
-signed-in first-party page (the same pages as the pickers).
-
-The frame covers the page with no box or close button, over a transparent GUI
-page, so the dialog floats over the host with its own scrim as it does on the
-desktop. The frame allows `clipboard-write`, for the dialog's copy buttons, as
-well as `otp-credentials`. Escape on the page is left to the dialog, which
-doesn't close while a request is in flight. Its fragment names `user` (the
-page's signed-in user), `subdomain` (the site to attach a domain to) and
-`msg_id`.
-
-The GUI reports `unavailable` unless its session belongs to `user` and the
-account has no verification or password change waiting. It then runs the
-popup's action unchanged, with the framing page as the requester the dialog
-names: it posts `ready` once the dialog is on the page, answers
-`{ msg: 'customDomainAttached', domain, original_msg_id }` once the dialog has
-closed and its exit has played, and then posts `closed`. `domain` is the domain the user chose, or
-null. `attach()` resolves it. A frame that closes without an answer, or a
-loading scrim the user dismisses, resolves null.
-
-A call made while the frame shows resolves null without replacing it, as a
-second call does on the desktop. A frame that is refused, never ready, or
-`unavailable` falls back to the popup, which can sign in, through a consent
-dialog when the click has expired.
-

-# Browser push client
-
-Puter's desktop shows pushes through `/sw.js`. Core shows Settings → Notifications only when the `pushEnabled` gui param is `true`; core never sets it. The worker is registered only when push is turned on in the browser, and a load removes one left without a subscription. A backend extension that delivers pushes sets it with `services.homepage.setGuiParam('pushEnabled', true)` and can load its own code into the worker with `services.homepage.registerServiceWorkerScript(path)`.
-
-Core subscribes the browser to a push service only when the server also publishes `pushWebPushKey` (see [Built-in Web Push client](#built-in-web-push-client)), and it has no `/push/*` routes of its own. The device, app, preference and subscription endpoints below come from that extension. On a deployment without one, such as most self-hosted servers, they answer core's plain 404 (`code: 'not_found'`), which `puter.notifications` reports as `push_unavailable` and the Notifications tab shows as unavailable. A device the extension can't find is `device_not_found`.
-
-## Push payload
-
-`sw.js` reads the push's JSON body. The message is its `puter` field, or `data.puter` for services that only carry string data, as an object or a JSON string:
-
-```ts
-{ uid?: string; title?: string; body?: string; icon?: string; group?: string;
-  target?: { app?: string; path?: string }; data?: unknown; channel?: string;
-  type?: 'challenge'; challenge?: string }
-```
-
-`uid` is the notification's uid, a later push with the same `group` replaces the one showing, and `target` and `data` reach the app when the user taps it.
-
-When the browser replaces the subscription (`pushsubscriptionchange`), `sw.js` keeps the new one, or subscribes again with Puter's stored key when the browser gave none and the event, the receipt or an earlier mark names the subscription that went. It writes `puter:subscription-changed:<scope>` to the `puter-push` IndexedDB as `{ at, oldEndpoint }`, the old endpoint kept from an earlier mark no page handled yet, else taken from the event or from the receipt, forgets the receipt kept for that scope, and posts `{ type: 'puter-push-subscription-changed' }` to every open window on Puter's origin. The worker has no token or session, so an open page runs `helpers/pushSync.js` on that message, after any run already in flight, and a later load does the same through the marker.
-
-## Receipts
-
-Before a notification is pushed, the server asks the open clients whether they received it live. It sends `notif.receipt` with `{ uid }` on the user's sockets for the app that sent it, or on the desktop's sockets for Puter's own notifications. The SDK remembers the uids its page received through `onNotification()`, `onPush()` or the desktop's feed, and answers once its page has that notification, or with `{ received: false }` when it never gets it. The server waits up to 5 seconds (`notificationAckTimeoutMs`).
-
-An answer carries `visibilityState` and `focused` as they were when the page received the notification. Pages never show a browser notification themselves; pushes do.
-
- An answer from a page that was visible and focused stops the push (`handled` on `notif.delivery.settled`). An older client that doesn't send `focused` counts while visible.
- Otherwise the notification is pushed, to every browser the user subscribed. A website's pushes go only to the browsers that subscribed through its own worker, never to Puter's `/sw.js`. An app inside the desktop pushes through `/sw.js`, which shows the app's name and icon.
- A client that can't answer, such as an older puter.js, doesn't hold the push back.
-
-The ask reaches only the sockets in the asking region. So that other regions hear about a page too, a page that receives a notification live while visible and focused also sends `notif.handled` with `{ uid }` on the socket it came on. Core relays it as the node-local `notif.handled` event with the socket's user and app, at most 60 a minute per user; an extension that delivers pushes decides what to do with it.
-
-## Registering
-
-The registry is in [src/gui/src/helpers/pushClient.js](../src/gui/src/helpers/pushClient.js). A service script registers its client like this:
-
-```js
-service_script(async (api) => {
-    api.use()['push.registerPushClient']?.(client);
-});
-```
-
-`use(id)` throws when nothing is registered under `id`, so the form above also runs on a Puter version without the registry and does nothing there. Any script that runs after the GUI bundle can call `use()['push.registerPushClient']?.(client)` the same way. Registering again replaces the client. Registering dispatches `push-client-registered` on `window`, and an open Notifications tab redraws.
-
-With no client registered, the tab says push notifications aren't available in this browser.
-
-### Built-in Web Push client
-
-When the server also sets the `pushWebPushKey` gui param (a VAPID public key), core registers its own client ([webPushClient.js](../src/gui/src/helpers/webPushClient.js)) unless an extension registered one first. It uses `puter.notifications.enable()` / `disable()`, the same standard Web Push flow apps use on their own origins:
-
-1. `GET /push/web/key` for the key, then `pushManager.subscribe()` on the `/sw.js` registration.
-2. `POST /push/web/subscriptions { subscription }`. A subscription the server already has answers `{ status: 'active' }`. A new one answers `{ status: 'pending' }`, and the server sends it a push with `{ type: 'challenge', challenge }`.
-3. The worker shows that push and posts `{ type: 'puter-push-challenge', challenge }` to the origin's windows; the page sends it to `POST /push/web/subscriptions/verify`. The device is registered once the page hands the confirmation back.
-4. `DELETE /push/web/subscriptions { endpoint }` removes it.
-
-Apps on their own origin do the same through `push-sw.js`, which they import into their own worker. A subscription made with an app token is the app's: its pushes are that app's notifications only.
-
-## Interface
-
-```ts
-interface PushClient {
-    enable(options?: { background?: boolean }): Promise<{ deviceUid: string }>;
-    disable(): Promise<void>;
-    status(options?: { cached?: boolean }): Promise<{
-        permission: 'default' | 'granted' | 'denied';
-        registered: boolean;
-        deviceUid?: string;
-    }>;
-}
-```
-
- `enable()` may ask for notification permission, so core calls it from a click: Turn on in the Notifications tab, Allow on a permission prompt that includes `notifications:push` while this browser is off, and the "Turn on notifications" button of the `/action/enable-push` popup and the matching desktop dialog (`UIEnablePushDialog`). Core also calls it without a click, from `helpers/pushSync.js`, when `Notification.permission` is already `granted`, `status()` reports the browser as not registered, the user has not turned push off in this browser, and an app may push to Puter's devices (`puterDevices` in `GET /push/apps`); the browser does not prompt then. That call passes `{ background: true }`: a browser the user removed in Puter stays removed, and the built-in client rejects with code `push_device_removed`, after which core records the browser as turned off. Before a background call the built-in client asks `POST /push/web/subscriptions/status` about every earlier endpoint it knows: the marker's `oldEndpoint` and the last endpoint the server answered `active` for (`puter.push.last-endpoint:<user uuid>` in `localStorage`). On a 429 it registers nothing and rejects with `too_many_requests`, which the sync reports as `later`, keeping the marker for the next run. When any answer is `removed`, it ends the current subscription in the browser, clears the marker and rejects with `push_device_removed`, so a subscription change or a dropped subscription never brings back a browser removed from another device. A click renews it as before. For a click the built-in client runs `puter.notifications.enable()`, which subscribes with the `/sw.js` registration and registers the browser through the Web Push flow above (`platform: 'webpush'`); in the background it runs the same registration without replacing a removed subscription or opening Puter's sign-in. It then resolves the `uid` of this browser's `webpush` device from `listDevices()` and clears the subscription-changed marker. It rejects when permission is refused or the browser wasn't registered.
- `disable()` runs `puter.notifications.disable()`, which sends `DELETE /push/web/subscriptions { endpoint }` and ends the browser's subscription. The tab calls it for Turn off, and for Remove on the device marked as this browser. Remove on any other device is `DELETE /push/devices/:uid`.
- `status()` reports the state without prompting. `permission` is `Notification.permission`. `registered` is true when this browser has a device registered for the signed-in user and `POST /push/web/subscriptions/status` answers `active` for the current subscription's endpoint, and `deviceUid` is that device's `uid`. A server that can't answer leaves the device match alone, and so does an `unknown` for an endpoint `enable()` registered in this page in the last 5 minutes, since that check can trail a registration. While the subscription-changed marker is set, `registered` is false. With `{ cached: true }` a client may answer with the last registered state it read in this page. Core passes it for the silent registration on app launch and for an app's `puter.notifications.status()`; the Notifications tab and the push dialogs read fresh. The built-in client keeps that state in memory for the same user and subscription for up to 5 minutes, from `enable()` or once the server answered `active` for the endpoint, and answers from it without either request. Reads of the same user and endpoint share one real check while it is in flight. It drops it on `disable()`, a failed `enable()`, an unregistered answer, a set subscription-changed marker, and the worker's `puter-push-subscription-changed` message, so a new page load always asks the server. Whether the calling app may push is checked on every call, against a `GET /push/apps` answer the page reuses for 30 seconds and drops on `enable()`, `disable()`, a grant, a revoke and a user change. When it can't be read, or leaves the app out, the grant alone counts.
-
-After `enable()` resolves, the tab calls `POST /push/devices/:uid/test` and asks the user whether a notification showed up.
-
-The tab also reads `GET /push/apps` and `GET`/`POST /push/preferences`.
-
-Core keeps its own record of a browser the user turned off, `puter.push.browser-off:<user uuid>` in `localStorage`, written by Turn off, by Remove on this browser's device, and by a silent registration the server refuses with `push_device_removed`, and cleared when `enable()` resolves. The silent registration above skips a browser with that record, so a device removed here or from another device stays removed until the user turns it on from a click, while a new sign-in in a browser that already allows notifications registers again.

- **Docker** with the `compose` plugin. This is the one thing you have to install
-  yourself — the installer checks for it and stops with an explanation rather
-  than installing it for you.
-  - **macOS / Windows:** [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
-    Both ship the `compose` plugin.
-  - **Linux:** [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) plus the
-    [`docker-compose-plugin`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) package.
-  - Confirm before running anything else: `docker compose version` should print a
-    version, not `command not found`.
-  - If Docker is installed but the shell can't see it, make sure your user is in
-    the `docker` group (Linux) or that Docker Desktop is actually running.
+- **Docker** with the `compose` plugin.
 - A **domain** with DNS access — you need a wildcard record (`*.your-domain.com` → server IP). Puter routes by subdomain (`api.<domain>`, `site.<domain>`, `app.<domain>`).
 - Optional: **TLS certs** (or `certbot` to grab them — see Step 3).

@@ -156,20 +136,9 @@ Why these knobs:
 - `database.migrationPaths` — Puter applies the bundled MySQL/MariaDB schema on boot. The migration files are idempotent, so it is safe to leave this configured across restarts.
 - `dynamo.bootstrapTables: true` — Puter creates its KV table on boot. **Only set against a local emulator**, never real AWS.
 - `dynamo.aws` keys are dummies; DynamoDB-local doesn't validate them but the AWS SDK requires _something_. **Note:** DynamoDB uses `access_key` / `secret_key` (snake_case); S3 below uses `accessKeyId` / `secretAccessKey` (camelCase). Not interchangeable.
- `meteringEnforcement.subscriptions: false` — a few surfaces (the OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible AI endpoints) are declared paid-plan-only. A self-hosted install has no paid plans, so every account sits on the free policy and those routes would answer `402 subscription_required` for everyone. Turning the plan gates off opens them; nothing else about metering changes.
 - `providers.ollama.enabled: false` — Puter auto-probes a local Ollama at `127.0.0.1:11434` by default; without one running you'd see `ECONNREFUSED` on every boot. To run a bundled Ollama, see [Optional: local LLM (Ollama)](#optional-local-llm-ollama) below.
 - `s3.s3Config.forcePathStyle: true` — RustFS / MinIO / fauxqs need path-style URLs (`<endpoint>/<bucket>`). Real AWS S3 wants virtual-hosted (`<bucket>.<endpoint>`) — drop this flag (or set `false`) when you swap to real S3.
 - `s3.s3Config.publicEndpoint` — `endpoint` (`http://s3:9000`) only resolves inside the docker network; presigned upload/download URLs handed to the browser need a host-reachable URL. Caddy routes the `s3.<domain>` subdomain to RustFS internally and preserves the Host header end-to-end (required for S3 signature validation), so the browser hits the same port/protocol as the rest of the app — no separate published port, no mixed-content surprises when you turn on TLS. Switch to `https://s3.<your-domain>` once you enable TLS in Step 3. Real AWS S3 doesn't need this — its endpoint is already public; drop the field entirely.
- **Bucket CORS** — the browser uploads file bytes straight to RustFS with a cross-origin `PUT` to the presigned URL (Dev Center deploy, `puter.fs.upload`). That only works if the bucket answers the `OPTIONS` preflight with `Access-Control-Allow-*` headers. The `s3-init` container applies those rules on every boot (`put-bucket-cors`, origins `*` — the signed URL is the credential, and the SDK sends no cookies). If deploys fail with `No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present`, re-run it: `docker compose run --rm s3-init`. Verify with:
-
-  ```bash
-  curl -sk -X OPTIONS "https://s3.<domain>/<bucket>/test" \
-    -H "Origin: https://<domain>" \
-    -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: PUT" \
-    -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: content-type" -D - -o /dev/null | grep -i access-control
-  ```
-
-  You should see `access-control-allow-origin`, `allow-methods: GET, HEAD, PUT, POST, DELETE`, `allow-headers: *`, and `max-age: 3600`.
 - `trust_proxy: 1` — Caddy terminates TLS and forwards `X-Forwarded-For`. Without this, `req.ip` is the docker-network address of the Caddy container instead of the real client IP, which breaks rate limiting and IP-based audit logs. `1` = one trusted hop (Caddy). Bump to `2` if you put Cloudflare in front of Caddy; never set `true` (it trusts every hop and makes XFF forgeable).

-Account and notification mail is sent on a named stream: `auth` (password, address and 2FA changes), `signup` (address confirmation; a `puter.signup.validate` listener may name another: lowercase letters, digits, `:`, `_` and `-`, up to 64 characters, starting with a letter or digit) and `notify` (share, app feedback and contact form mail).

-        "headers": { "X-Example-Stream": "notify" },
-        "tagsHeader": "X-Example-Tags"
-    }
-}
-```
-
-`headers` are added to every message on the stream, `from` replaces the default sender, and `tagsHeader` names the header that carries a message's tags as `name=value` pairs joined by `, `. A stream that is not listed adds nothing: the message goes out with the default from address and the caller's headers. `streams` is never handed to the transport.
-
-To read the mail yourself instead of sending it, point the transport at a local SMTP sink — [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) catches everything and serves it at `http://localhost:8025`. Publish both ports; a container that only exposes them is unreachable from the host:

-
-Share email is on once a transport exists: a recipient who already has an account is emailed as well as notified in-app, and they opt out with the unsubscribe link the mail carries. Set `"share_email_notifications": false` to keep those in the app only — an address with no account is still emailed, since there is nothing else to reach them with.

-## Optional: receiving mail over SMTP
-
-Puter can give each account a mailbox at a domain you control. Two pieces are
-involved, and they are configured together under `userEmail`:
-
- an **ingress endpoint** (`POST /email/ingress`) that files a message into the
-  recipient's `~/.mail`. It exists whenever `userEmail.secret` is set.
- the **`puter-smtp` receiver**, which accepts mail from other mail servers and
-  hands each message to that endpoint. It runs as its own process, behind the
-  `smtp` compose profile.
-
-> **Read this before you expose it.** An inbound mail server is unauthenticated
-> by nature: anyone on the internet may hand it a message for any address in
-> `localDomains`. Puter performs **no** spam filtering and **no** SPF, DKIM or
-> DMARC checks — whatever is delivered is stored in the recipient's mailbox and
-> counts against their storage. If that is not acceptable, put a filtering relay
-> in front of it and point `localDomains` at that instead.
-
-1. Configure it in `puter/config/config.json`:
-
-    ```json
-    "userEmail": {
-        "secret": "a long random string",
-        "localServer": true,
-        "localDomains": ["example.com"]
-    }
-    ```
-
-    `secret` is shared between the two halves; generate it with
-    `openssl rand -hex 32`. `localDomains` lists the domains this server accepts
-    mail for — anything else is refused at `RCPT TO`, which is what stops it
-    being used as an open relay. It has no default, and the receiver refuses to
-    start without it.
-
-    The receiver posts to `<api_base_url>/email/ingress` unless you set
-    `localIngressUrl`. The endpoint is served on the `api` subdomain, so if you
-    point it at an internal address to skip the reverse proxy, name that virtual
-    host too or the request will 404:
-
-    ```json
-    "localIngressUrl": "http://puter:4100/email/ingress",
-    "localIngressHost": "api.example.com"
-    ```
-
-    `localIngressHost` defaults to the host of `api_base_url`, which is usually
-    what you want.
-
-2. Bring it up with the `smtp` profile:
-
-    ```bash
-    docker compose --profile smtp up -d
-    docker compose logs -f puter-smtp
-    ```
-
-3. Point DNS at it:
-
-    ```dns
-    mx.example.com.   A    203.0.113.10
-    example.com.      MX   10 mx.example.com.
-    ```
-
-    Also set a `PTR` record for the address that resolves back to
-    `mx.example.com` — many senders refuse mail from a server without one.
-
-    Inbound TCP port 25 must reach the host. **Most cloud providers block port
-    25 by default and residential ISPs block it permanently**; if you cannot get
-    it unblocked, this will not work no matter how it is configured. The
-    container itself binds 2525 (it runs unprivileged) and compose publishes
-    `${SMTP_PORT:-25}` onto it, so you can move the host port if you need to.
-
-A message is held in memory while it is being delivered, so peak memory is
-bounded by `localMaxClients` (default 20) times the 25 MiB message ceiling.
-Lower `localMaxClients` on a small host. There is no queue and no retry
-schedule — if delivery fails, the sending server is told to try again later and
-retrying is its job.
-
-Mail is stored as `message/rfc822` objects under `~/.mail/objects/<date>/` and
-read back through `puter.email` in the SDK.
-
-Every setting is documented in
-[config.template.jsonc](../config.template.jsonc). Two deliberate limits, both
-in the name of keeping the self-hosted path simple: it does not offer STARTTLS,
-so mail arrives in the clear, and it applies no per-sender rate limiting. Put a
-filtering relay in front if either matters to you.
-
-Note this is a *receiving* server only: it never sends, and it must not be used
-for authenticated submission. Outbound transactional mail is the separate
-`email` block above.
-
 ## Building from source instead of pulling

-To run a local build against the full stack, use a source checkout and complete
-the configuration steps above. Create `docker-compose.override.yml` in the
-repository root, next to [docker-compose.yml](../docker-compose.yml):
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  puter:
-    pull_policy: never
-    build:
-      context: .
-```
-
-If that file already exists, merge these settings into its `puter` service.
-Compose merges the override automatically: `build.context: .` builds this
-checkout, and `pull_policy: never` stops it pulling the published image. Git
-ignores the override, so local build settings stay out of pull requests and
-don't conflict with `docker-compose.yml` when you pull updates.
-
-From the repository root, build and start the stack:
+If you want to test local Dockerfile changes against the full stack, uncomment the `build:` block in [docker-compose.yml](../docker-compose.yml) under the `puter` service, change `pull_policy: always` → `pull_policy: never`, then:

 ```bash
 docker compose up -d --build
 ```

-Run the same command after changing or pulling source code to rebuild the image.
-To return to the published image, remove the local build settings (or the override
-file if those are its only settings), then run `docker compose up -d`.

+ * scale. When registered, the instance flows into `this.clients.clickhouse`

-- Enforce "at most one account owns an email address". Mirrors SQLite
-- migration 0066.
--
-- `user.email` is deliberately not UNIQUE: several rows may legitimately hold
-- the same address while unconfirmed (admin-provisioned placeholders, signups
-- that were never confirmed, temp accounts on their way to becoming real). What
-- must never happen is two rows both *owning* an address — owning meaning the
-- row is confirmed, or holds a password and so can drive password recovery for
-- that inbox.
--
-- Signup, save-account, change-email, OIDC and admin provisioning each check for
-- an owner before writing, but a check and an insert are not one operation: two
-- requests can both read "free" and both write. This index is what actually
-- holds the invariant; the application checks just produce a nicer error most of
-- the time.
--
-- SQLite expresses that with a partial index. MySQL has none, so the predicate
-- lives in a generated column that evaluates to NULL for every row that does not
-- own its address — and NULLs do not collide in an InnoDB unique index, which is
-- exactly the "unlimited unconfirmed placeholders" behaviour we need.
--
-- The column is VIRTUAL, not STORED, on purpose: adding a stored generated
-- column rebuilds the table, while a virtual one is a metadata-only change and
-- the index that follows builds INPLACE. On a `user` table of any size with
-- read replicas attached, that is the difference between a routine change and an
-- outage. The ALGORITHM/LOCK clauses are spelled out so a server that cannot
-- honour them refuses the statement instead of quietly copying the table.
--
-- Matching is on the canonical address so provider aliases
-- (`[email protected]` vs `[email protected]`) collide. `clean_email` is
-- written on every modern write path; the COALESCE covers rows old enough to
-- predate the column. Run the `clean_email` backfill before this migration or
-- alias collisions among those rows go unnoticed.
--
-- Idempotent: both steps are guarded on INFORMATION_SCHEMA so the directory
-- replays safely.
--
-- If the index creation fails with ER_DUP_ENTRY, the DB already contains
-- duplicate owners. Collapse them first (admin → One-off Jobs → Collapse
-- Duplicate Emails) — there is no safe automatic merge of two accounts.

-- Widen `notification.shown` and `notification.acknowledged` to hold the unix
-- second the store has been writing to them since the backend rework.
--
-- Both arrived from the v1 schema as `tinyint(1)`, where they were flags. The
-- rework changed the writes to timestamps and sqlite (`INTEGER`) and postgres
-- (`bigint`) took them; only mysql was left too narrow, so every `markShown`
-- and `markAcknowledged` there fails with ER_WARN_DATA_OUT_OF_RANGE and the
-- column stays NULL. Dismissing a notification therefore never sticks, and one
-- already delivered is re-sent on every reconnect.
--
-- No backfill: every reader tests `IS NULL` / `IS NOT NULL` only, so a legacy
-- `1` keeps meaning "yes" once widened.
--
-- Guarded on the current type rather than run unconditionally. Changing a
-- column type copies the table, and this one grows without bound — a migration
-- directory that replays on every boot must not rebuild it every time.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Nariman Jelveh	734715f461	Merge branch 'feat/app-user-feedback' of https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter into feat/app-user-feedback	2026-08-12 13:32:34 -07:00
jelveh	b290c1d922	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into feat/app-user-feedback	2026-08-12 09:22:00 -07:00
jelveh	dd068e31d0	Require verified users for app feedback API Add `requireVerified: true` to both app feedback routes (`GET /target` and `POST /`) in `AppFeedbackController`. This tightens access control so only verified user accounts can fetch feedback targets or submit app feedback.	2026-08-12 09:13:11 -07:00
jelveh	90cffbfcde	refactor: prep the feedback cap error once instead of via a factory Both throw sites are in one call and only one can ever run, so a plain const reads the same and drops a function that existed only to defer a constructor.	2026-08-11 22:11:24 -07:00
jelveh	25acf14c8b	test: cover the feedback service and store layers directly The service owns every feedback business rule — target resolution, eligibility, message normalization, the durable caps, and the owner-email preconditions — but was only reachable through the controller's tests. Give it and the store their own suites so a regression names the layer it broke. Service coverage adds the branches the route tests could not reach: a blocked origin resolving to null rather than surfacing a 403, owners who are suspended or unsubscribed, length measured after normalization, the 24h cap window boundary, subject-header injection via the app title, and the email links being rooted at config.origin. The two describes already labelled `AppFeedbackService ...` move out of the controller test, which keeps only the caller-facing promise that a failed send still returns success.	2026-08-11 22:10:04 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	be781c5f1b	fix: restore the feedback Send button's gradient on hover `1c2d33f14` added :not(:disabled) to the base .app-feedback-btn hover rule, which raised its specificity above the primary button's hover rule — so hovering Send swapped the blue gradient for the light hover background, leaving white text on a pale pill. Give the primary hover rule the same :not(:disabled) so it wins by source order again.	2026-08-11 19:57:56 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	4cb0730875	feat: point the feedback email footer at the Dev Center The footer told developers to turn feedback off via a puter.apps.update one-liner, but the toggle lives in the Dev Center app settings — and Dev Center is where apps get feedback enabled by default in the first place. Reword it to 'manage it in the Dev Center' with a link built from config.origin (like app_link) so it holds on self-hosted deployments.	2026-08-11 19:19:38 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	00b2fcdea3	docs: document the COOP false-resolve limitation of showFeedbackDialog Under COOP the popup's opener link is severed, so the SDK deliberately resolves false while the popup stays open and the user can still submit (a feedback submission has no server read-back the way a permission grant does). The documented contract ('resolves to true if the user submitted feedback') was silently wrong on cross-origin-isolated pages — state the limitation in the doc and the SDK jsdoc: false means 'not confirmed', not 'not sent'.	2026-08-11 18:31:39 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	f70347b579	docs: state exactly what showFeedbackDialog shares with the developer The doc claimed the dialog 'tells the user their username will be shared', while the dialog's note talked only about the email address and the implementation shares the username always plus the email (as Reply-To) only when verified. Describe the actual disclosure: username always, email when verified.	2026-08-11 18:31:02 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	3d9691b11a	fix: stop HTML-escaping email subject lines Subjects were compiled with default Handlebars escaping, so the app-user-feedback subject rendered a title like "Bob's App & Games" as "Bob's App & Games" — literal entities in the recipient's mail client. Subjects are plain-text headers, not HTML; compile them with noEscape. Header safety is unaffected: the transport encodes newlines and free-form values collapse whitespace upstream.	2026-08-11 18:30:29 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	c2fe813929	fix: make the feedback dialog's privacy note match what is shared The note unconditionally said 'Your email address will be shared with the developer so they can respond', but AppFeedbackService shares the username always and the email only when it exists and is verified — an unverified or temp-user sender was promised a reply path that never materializes, and nobody was told about the username. Show 'username and email' when the signed-in user's email is verified, and 'username' otherwise.	2026-08-11 18:29:22 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	ef7fc05dcc	fix: reject feedback origins longer than the source_origin column readTargetParam accepted values up to 3000 chars but the raw origin is stored verbatim into source_origin VARCHAR(2048) (MySQL/Postgres), so a 2049-3000 char origin passed every validation and then blew up the INSERT with an HTTP 500 on Postgres/strict MySQL — or was silently truncated on non-strict MySQL, corrupting the abuse-forensics value the column exists for. Cap the param at the column size.	2026-08-11 18:27:42 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	1c2d33f149	fix: gate feedback dialog Cancel/X on an in-flight submit Escape and backdrop clicks were already ignored while the POST was pending, but the X, Close, and Cancel buttons weren't — clicking one mid-send settled the promise false and tore down the overlay while the submission still landed server-side: the developer got the email, the app was told sent=false, and a user who resubmitted 'the failed one' sent a duplicate and burned a daily-cap slot. Apply the same !sending gate to the buttons and disable them visually while the send is in flight.	2026-08-11 18:26:47 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	b1fdc8d665	fix: carry feedback_enabled in suggested/recommended app summaries launch_app uses options.app_obj verbatim when provided, and the suggested-apps launch paths (open_item.js, UIWindowSearch.js, UIDesktop.js) pass summaries from toAppSummary — which omitted feedback_enabled. So an opted-in editor launched by opening a .txt file showed no Send Feedback control in the dashboard drawer, while the same app launched from the Apps tab (full puter.apps.get object) did.	2026-08-11 18:23:43 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	1ecc23cf83	fix: guard app-triggered feedback dialog against desktop-lockout loops The showFeedbackDialog IPC handler had no re-entry or abuse guard, and the dialog it opens is a full-viewport overlay above the taskbar and every window — so 'while (true) await puter.ui.showFeedbackDialog()' kept the desktop permanently covered (for signed-out users, the same loop spams the full-page signup window instead). Every dismissal just settled the promise and let the app immediately reopen it. Allow one dialog at a time, and back off reopens per app after each dismissal that sent nothing: 10s, then 60s, then blocked until page reload. A successful send resets the backoff, and user-initiated paths (dashboard drawer) are unaffected since they don't go through IPC.	2026-08-11 18:21:43 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	7230580b18	fix: settle showFeedbackDialog instead of hanging on older host GUIs In the app environment showFeedbackDialog awaited an IPC reply with no capability check. A host GUI that predates this feature (self-hosted Puter running the live js.puter.com SDK) has no handler for the message and never replies, so the promise documented as 'never rejects' also never resolved. The GUI now advertises the IPC dialogs it can answer via a puter.gui_features param on the app iframe URL, and the SDK resolves false when 'feedback-dialog' isn't listed. A reply timeout could not substitute: legitimate replies only arrive when the user closes the dialog, so any timeout would false-negative while the user is typing. Older SDKs ignore the extra param.	2026-08-11 18:19:46 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	1460751b41	fix: refuse feedback when the deployment cannot deliver it With no email transport configured (the common self-hosted default), submissions were stored in app_feedback — a table with no read path beyond the abuse-cap COUNTs — the owner email was silently skipped, and the sender was still shown 'Feedback sent. Thank you!'. The developer never learns the feedback exists while the user believes it was delivered. Gate acceptsFeedback on clients.email.isConfigured so the pre-flight reports enabled:false (the dialog shows its 'not accepting feedback' pane) and submit returns 403 instead of swallowing messages. Owner-level store-without-email cases (unconfirmed owner email, per-app email cap overflow) keep their existing deliberate semantics.	2026-08-11 18:16:14 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	4f96d371f4	fix: don't mint a user-app token as a side effect of the feedback popup Every embedded_in_popup boot ran the user-app token exchange, and the exchange is a write: /auth/get-user-app-token bootstraps an app row for the opener origin, grants flag:app-is-authenticated (what makes the site count as connected to the account), and creates its AppData dir. So merely opening — or immediately cancelling — a send-feedback popup recorded a user<->site relationship the read-only feedback flow never needs: the server resolves the feedback target from the attested origin without any of it. Gate the exchange behind runsUserAppTokenExchange(action) in all three popup paths that mint (main postAuthActions exchange, temp-user signup success, manual signup fallback). request-permission keeps the exchange since grants are written against the app row it bootstraps.	2026-08-11 18:13:13 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	c5cf1dc390	docs: disclose the Dev Center's feedback-on-by-default in SDK docs/types The Dev Center deliberately creates apps with feedbackEnabled (see `32c950de5`), but the SDK docs, apps.d.ts, and AppFeedbackService's class doc all described feedback as strictly opt-in / default-false with no qualification — so a Dev Center developer reading them would wrongly conclude feedback is off for their app. State the Dev Center behavior alongside the API default, and correct the update-path docs: an omitted feedbackEnabled leaves the current value unchanged rather than defaulting to false.	2026-08-11 18:07:47 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	503a450b40	fix: make feedback daily caps fail closed under concurrent submissions The per-user and per-user-per-app caps were check-then-insert and the per-app email cap was count-then-send, so parallel requests (or multiple nodes, or the route limiter failing open) could all read a stale under-cap count and push past every limit — the exact scenario the DB-backed caps exist to stop. Now the user caps recount after the insert (own row included) and roll the row back with 429 if a burst breached them, and the email cap claims its slot (email_sent=1) before sending, recounts, and releases the slot if over cap or if the send fails.	2026-08-11 18:06:05 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	f4dfbd735b	fix: resolve 'app-'-prefixed app names in feedback target lookup APP_NAME_REGEX allows names beginning with "app-" (e.g. the seeded app-center), but resolveTargetApp's startsWith('app-') heuristic sent those to a uid-only lookup with no name fallback, so feedback for such apps 403'd even when enabled. Use AppStore.resolveApp (uid, then name) like the rest of the codebase.	2026-08-11 18:03:15 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	81402918d2	fix: feedback modal polish + share sender email Address four issues with the app feedback UI: - Dashboard app-drawer: the extra "feedback" control pushed the close button past the drawer's derived width and clipped it. A `has-feedback` modifier widens the surface by one button + gap so all three controls fit. The control's glyph is now a message bubble with text lines, which reads more clearly at 14px than the previous bare speech bubble. - The feedback dialog is no longer a UIWindow. It's a from-scratch overlay modal in the spirit of the dashboard modals (uninstall, add-app): a fixed scrim + centered card with self-contained, theme-aware color tokens (light default + dark override), a bottom-sheet layout on narrow screens, backdrop/Escape close, and an entrance transition. This renders consistently across the three contexts it's opened from (desktop app-IPC, dashboard drawer, standalone popup), so the callers no longer pass UIWindow-specific window_options. - Feedback now shares the sender's email (not just their username) with the developer so they can respond: the owner email sets Reply-To to the sender and shows the address in the body — but only when the sender's email is verified (an unverified address could be anyone's, so it's never used as a reply target). EmailClient.send gains an optional replyTo. The dialog note now says the email will be shared. Tests: e2e updated for the new modal (7 pass); backend feedback suite covers the verified/unverified sender-email split (sqlite + postgres); EmailClient + GUI unit suites pass; type-check clean.	2026-08-11 17:11:36 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	32c950de5b	feat: enable app feedback by default in Dev Center New apps created in Dev Center now have feedbackEnabled set on creation, so users can send the developer feedback without any extra setup. A "User Feedback" toggle in the app's settings lets developers turn it off (and back on); it's wired into the save payload, the dirty-state tracking, and the reset-to-original path like the neighboring toggles. The Save update omits feedbackEnabled unless the toggle is present, and the backend leaves an omitted field untouched, so the default survives the create-then-save flow Dev Center runs. Add an SDK apps-suite guard covering that round-trip (create-on -> unrelated update keeps it -> can be turned off).	2026-08-11 16:47:12 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	792361507e	feat: add feedback control to the dashboard app-drawer Surface the feedback dialog directly from the app window's chrome in dashboard mode: apps that opt in (apps.feedbackEnabled) get a "Send Feedback" button in the dashboard app-drawer, next to minimize/close. It opens the same UIWindowAppFeedback dialog, targeting this app by uid. The control is only rendered when the app opted in — feedback_enabled is threaded from the launched app's metadata into the window options — and the dialog still re-checks opt-in server-side, so a stale flag can't send anywhere. Reuses the existing .dashboard-app-drawer-btn styling and the app_feedback_title i18n string, so no new CSS or strings. Adds e2e coverage: the control appears and opens the dialog for an opted-in app, and is absent for an app that hasn't opted in.	2026-08-11 16:39:05 -07:00
Nariman Jelveh	4f267fb83e	feat: app user feedback system Add puter.ui.showFeedbackDialog(), letting users send feedback to an app's developer. In the app environment the Puter desktop renders the dialog; on a third-party website a puter.com popup hosts it. The message is stored in a new app_feedback table and emailed to the app owner's confirmed email — it never passes through the app's own code. Feedback is strictly opt-in per app via a new apps.feedback_enabled column (a real column, not an app-metadata key, so Dev Center's whole-blob metadata saves can't silently erase it), settable through the existing puter.apps.update path (feedbackEnabled). Backend follows the layered stack: AppFeedbackStore (durable count queries) -> AppFeedbackService (opt-in check, message normalization, abuse caps, best-effort owner email) -> AppFeedbackController (POST /app-feedback, GET /app-feedback/target). New app-user-feedback email template uses the escaping-safe nl2br triple-stash. Defensive by design: - requireUserActor blocks app tokens, so feedback can't be submitted programmatically; guiOriginOnly keeps cross-origin pages out. - App identity comes only from the validated IPC sender (desktop) or the browser-attested opener origin (popup), never from message contents. - The send-feedback popup action is in NON_AUTH_POPUP_ACTIONS, so it never delivers a token to the opener. - Layered limits: route rate limits, plus DB-count caps that fail closed when the limiter backend is down, plus a per-app daily owner-email cap. - Owner email is fully best-effort: an unconfigured transport, unconfirmed/unsubscribed/suspended owner, or send failure never fails the request or blocks storage. - The dialog and SDK method are resolve-only and always settle, so a caller is never left hanging. Migrations for sqlite/mysql/postgres, puter.js types, docs, backend tests (sqlite + postgres), and a Playwright e2e spec are included.	2026-08-11 16:31:27 -07:00
