On a phone in Arabic every system notice, the release notes included,
opened as an empty sheet: its three-slot strip is shifted to show the
middle slot, and in a right-to-left row that shift moved all three out
of view. The shifts point the other way in a right-to-left page now,
which the swipe handling already assumed.
The budget's total amount kept its parts in order but sat on the
opposite edge from its label, because the whole row was made left to
right. Only the amount itself is now. The phone chat's bubble tails
were still physical corners while the desktop ones follow the row; both
use logical corners now.
lint:rtl takes comments from the TypeScript parser instead of scanning
lines, so a "/*" inside a string (accept="image/*") no longer hides the
lines after it.
The bulk of what SonarQube still had open on the reliability side, read site by
site rather than swept. Two clusters are worth calling out because they are
defects, not lint.
**Four regexes could be made to hang the process.** The worst is
`/.+@.+\..+/` in the forgot-password path: three unbounded `.+` that all
overlap, unanchored, on an endpoint that needs no login and whose schema is a
bare z.string() under a 100kb body cap. A thousand '@' characters had not
finished after 100 seconds — one request pins the event loop, and Node has one.
EMAIL_REGEX in auth.helpers is the same shape on register and profile update
(310ms for 8kb). The two tag strippers over an uploaded KML description and over
Commons metadata took 0.52s on a 16k run of '<'. Each rewrite was proven
equivalent by brute force against the original — millions of strings for the
coordinate patterns, 671,876 for the tag stripper — because a subtly different
regex on a parsing path is worse than the finding.
`<[^>]+>` could not be fixed in the pattern: `[^>]` matches `<` too, so the only
unambiguous form changes what happens to malformed markup. It is now a scan in
common/stripHtmlTags.ts, quirks included — `<>` is left alone, `<a<b>` is one
tag — with the equivalence pinned by a test that compares against the old regex
over every string up to length six.
**And roughly 500 places could only be reached with a mouse.** Clickable divs
became real buttons where the markup allowed (52 of them), took
role + tabIndex + Enter/Space where they had to stay divs, and modal backdrops
took role="presentation" — the honest role, since a backdrop is a mouse shortcut
for a Cancel control that is already in the tab order, and making it a button
plants a nameless full-screen tab stop around its own contents.
Alongside those: `.sort()` calls that now say the order they always had, `{n &&
<X/>}` guards that rendered a literal "0" for a zero-byte file and for a place at
latitude 0, an optimistic budget write that stored a boolean where the contract
and both transports use 0/1, and the Number statics.
sonar-project.properties documents the six that were deliberately left: two wiki
patterns with no overlapping quantifier pair whose "fix" would stop parsing
`[see [1]](url)`, four tar header fields bounded at 12-155 bytes by the format,
two djb2 hashes where the 32-bit wrap is the algorithm, two `| 0` that are also
coercing undefined to 0 on a path where the API sends no user_id, and the MCP
session maps Sonar reads as empty because they are filled from another module.
The SDK's parity suite had an unescaped apostrophe in an it() title, so the
file did not parse and vitest reported it as "no tests". Both guards in it
were dead - including the byte-identical egress-policy check the package's own
notes call the worst possible bug in that module to lose. No CI job runs the
SDK suite, so it landed quietly; the next npm publish would have failed on it,
since prepublishOnly runs the tests.
Also in the SDK: the dev preview answered trek:geolocation without checking
the geolocation:read grant, so a plugin whose manifest is missing the
permission works perfectly in dev and is dead once installed. That is the
lenient direction, which is the one that ships broken plugins.
Client side: the background-task poll never dismissed a 404'd import job and
spun forever, "Update All" collapsed its busy flag after the first plugin
settled, the lightbox had no cancellation so a slow signed URL rendered the
wrong image, the plugin geolocation watch was torn down by any unrelated
settings write, manual date entry accepted 31 February, cover previews were
never revoked, and check-all issued one request per packing item.
* refactor(client): opt into the v7 router behaviour while still on v6
Turning the behaviour on separately from the version bump keeps the two failure
modes apart: red here means a behaviour change, red on the bump means the import
rewrite. The suite is unchanged either way — 527 files, 11099 tests.
Only the two flags a non-data router understands are set; the rest belong to
createBrowserRouter, which this app doesn't use. Both are applied at all six
router mounts, so the tests exercise the same behaviour as production rather than
validating v6 while prod runs v7.
* fix(client): move to react-router 7.18.2
6.30.4 is affected by GHSA-wrjc-x8rr-h8h6 — open redirect through a backslash in
Link and useNavigate, which this app uses in 41 places — and the 6.x line has no
fix: react-router-dom 6.30.2 to 6.30.4 carries GHSA-jjmj-jmhj-qwj2 with no patched
version at all. Staying is not an option, and 7.0 to 7.17 only swaps it for
GHSA-chx6-hx7r-mcp5.
The package rename comes with it: react-router-dom is a re-export shim in v7, so
using it would only defer the same rewrite to the v8 jump. 77 occurrences across
60 files, all of them import specifiers and vi.mock strings.
The surface is small — useNavigate, useParams, useSearchParams, useLocation,
Routes, Route, Link, Navigate, useMatch, MemoryRouter, BrowserRouter — no data
router, no loaders or actions. Nothing else had to change; the future flags from
the previous commit are simply how v7 behaves, so they come back out.
npm audit still reports GHSA-qwww-vcr4-c8h2 on react-router (RSC mode CSRF, fixed
in 8.3.0). It needs RSC mode, which needs a server; this is a static SPA. Closing
it means the v8 major, which is its own piece of work.
214 items came out of writing the tests. Real defects are corrected, dead code
is removed rather than covered, and the tests that pinned the old behaviour
move with them.
Also drops two agent coverage scratch files that slipped into the coverage PR
and adds the ignore rule that keeps them out.
- SystemNoticeModal tests: navigate to last page before testing
X button, ESC, and CTA dismiss (matches new last-page-only behavior)
- EntryEditor: use z-[9999] instead of portal (fixes iOS stacking
without breaking test DOM queries)
- Pros/cons inputs: remove colored backgrounds in dark mode
Server-side notice registry with per-user condition evaluation (firstLogin,
existingUserBeforeVersion, addonEnabled, dateWindow, role, custom).
Notices are sorted by priority then severity, filtered against dismissals
stored in a new user_notice_dismissals table, and served via
GET /api/system-notices/active + POST /api/system-notices/:id/dismiss.
Client renders notices through a host component that partitions by
display type (modal / banner / toast). The modal renderer supports
multi-page pagination with directional slide transitions, keyboard
navigation, and correct dismiss-all semantics on CTA / X / ESC.
Dismissals are optimistic with a single background retry.
Includes 3.0.0 upgrade notices (v3-photos, v3-journey, v3-features),
onboarding welcome modal, and full i18n coverage across 15 languages.
The /journey route is addon-gated on both client and server.
Also includes: unit + integration test suites, registry integrity test
that validates action CTA IDs against client source, and technical
documentation in docs/system-notices.md.
