## Changes 11/16/2025 (v1.9.8)
release(v1.9.8): feat(pro): wire core to Pro licensing + branding hooks
- Add Pro feature flags + bootstrap wiring
- Define FR_PRO_ACTIVE/FR_PRO_TYPE/FR_PRO_EMAIL/FR_PRO_VERSION/FR_PRO_LICENSE_FILE
in config.php and optionally require src/pro/bootstrap_pro.php.
- Expose a `pro` block from AdminController::getConfig() so the UI can show
license status, type, email, and bundle version without leaking the raw key.
- Implement license save endpoint
- Add AdminController::setLicense() and /api/admin/setLicense.php to accept a
FRP1 license string via JSON, validate basic shape, and persist it to
FR_PRO_LICENSE_FILE with strict 0600 permissions.
- Return structured JSON success/error responses for the admin UI.
- Extend admin config model with branding + safer validation
- Add `branding.customLogoUrl`, `branding.headerBgLight`, and
`branding.headerBgDark` fields to AdminModel defaults and updateConfig().
- Introduce AdminModel::sanitizeLogoUrl() to allow only site-relative /uploads
paths or http(s) URLs; reject absolute filesystem paths, data: URLs, and
javascript: URLs.
- Continue to validate ONLYOFFICE docsOrigin as http(s) only, keeping core
config hardening intact.
- New Pro-aware Admin Panel UI
- Rework User Management section to group:
- Add user / Remove user
- Folder Access (per-folder ACL)
- User Permissions (account-level flags)
- Add Pro-only actions with clear gating:
- “User groups” button (Pro)
- “Client upload portal” button with “Pro · Coming soon” pill
- Add “FileRise Pro” section:
- Show current Pro status (Free vs Active) + license metadata.
- Textarea for pasting license key, file upload helper, and “Save license”
action wired to /api/admin/setLicense.php.
- Optional “Copy current license” button when a license is present.
- Add “Sponsor / Donations” section with fixed GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi URLs
and one-click copy/open buttons.
- Header branding controls (Pro)
- Add Header Logo + Header Colors controls under Header Settings, gated by
`config.pro.active`.
- Allow uploading a logo via /api/pro/uploadBrandLogo.php and auto-filling the
normalized /uploads path.
- Add live-preview helpers to update the header logo and header background
colors in the running UI after saving.
- Apply branding on app boot
- Update main.js to read branding config on load and apply:
- Custom header logo (or fallback to /assets/logo.svg).
- Light/dark header background colors via CSS variables.
- Keeps header consistent with saved branding across reloads and before
opening the admin panel.
- Styling + UX polish
- Add styles for new admin sections: collapsible headers, dark-mode aware
modal content, and refined folder access grid.
- Introduce .btn-pro-admin and .btn-pro-pill classes to render “Pro” and
“Pro · Coming soon” pills overlayed on buttons, matching the existing
header “Core/Pro” badge treatment.
- Minor spacing/typography tweaks in admin panel and ACL UI.
Note: Core code remains MIT-licensed; Pro functionality is enabled via optional
runtime hooks and separate closed-source bundle, without changing the core
license text.

## Changes 11/14/2025 (v1.9.7)
release(v1.9.7): harden client path guard and refine header/folder strip CSS
- Tighten isSafeFolderPath() to reject dot-prefixed/invalid segments (client-side defense-in-depth on folder paths).
- Rework header layout: consistent logo sizing, centered title, cleaner button alignment, and better small-screen stacking.
- Polish user dropdown and icon buttons: improved hover/focus states, dark-mode colors, and rounded menu corners.
- Update folder strip tiles: cap tile width, allow long folder names to wrap neatly, and fine-tune text/icon alignment.
- Tweak folder tree rows: better label wrapping, vertical alignment, and consistent SVG folder icon rendering.
- Small CSS cleanup and normalization (body, main wrapper, media modal/progress styles) without changing behavior.
---
## Changes 11/14/2025 (v1.9.6)
release(v1.9.6): hardened resumable uploads, menu/tag UI polish and hidden temp folders (closes #67)
- Resumable uploads
- Normalize resumable GET “test chunk” handling in `UploadModel` using `resumableChunkNumber` + `resumableIdentifier`, returning explicit `status: "found"|"not found"`.
- Skip CSRF checks for resumable GET tests in `UploadController`, but keep strict CSRF validation for real POST uploads with soft-fail `csrf_expired` responses.
- Refactor `UploadModel::handleUpload()` for chunked uploads: strict filename validation, safe folder normalization, reliable temp chunk directory creation, and robust merge with clear errors if any chunk is missing.
- Add `UploadModel::removeChunks()` + internal `rrmdir()` to safely clean up `resumable_…` temp folders via a dedicated controller endpoint.
- Frontend resumable UX & persistence
- Enable `testChunks: true` for Resumable.js and wire GET checks to the new backend status logic.
- Track in-progress resumable files per user in `localStorage` (identifier, filename, folder, size, lastPercent, updatedAt) and show a resumable hint banner inside the Upload card with a dismiss button that clears the hints for that folder.
- Clamp client-side progress to max `99%` until the server confirms success, so aborted tabs still show resumable state instead of “100% done”.
- Improve progress UI: show upload speed, spinner while finalizing, and ensure progress elements exist even for non-standard flows (e.g., submit without prior list build).
- On complete success, clear the progress UI, reset the file input, cancel Resumable’s internal queue, clear draft records for the folder, and re-show the resumable banner only when appropriate.
- Hiding resumable temp folders
- Hide `resumable_…` folders alongside `trash` and `profile_pics` in:
- Folder tree BFS traversal (child discovery / recursion).
- `listChildren.php` results and child-cache hydration.
- The inline folder strip above the file list (also filtered in `fileListView.js`).
- Folder manager context menu upgrade
- Replace the old ad-hoc folder context menu with a unified `filr-menu` implementation that mirrors the file context menu styling.
- Add Material icon mapping per action (`create_folder`, `move_folder`, `rename_folder`, `color_folder`, `folder_share`, `delete_folder`) and clamp the menu to viewport with escape/outside-click close behavior.
- Wire the new menu from both tree nodes and breadcrumb links, respecting locked folders and current folder capabilities.
- File context menu & selection logic
- Define a semantic file context menu in `index.html` (`#fileContextMenu` with `.filr-menu` buttons, icons, `data-action`, and `data-when` visibility flags).
- Rebuild `fileMenu.js` to:
- Derive the current selection from file checkboxes and map back to real `fileData` entries, handling the encoded row IDs.
- Toggle menu items based on selection state (`any`, `one`, `many`, `zip`, `can-edit`) and hide redundant separators.
- Position the menu within the viewport, add ESC/outside-click dismissal, and delegate click handling to call the existing file actions (preview, edit, rename, copy/move/delete/download/extract, tag single/multiple).
- Tagging system robustness
- Refactor `fileTags.js` to enforce single-instance modals for both single-file and multi-file tagging, preventing duplicate DOM nodes and double bindings.
- Centralize global tag storage (`window.globalTags` + `localStorage`) with shared dropdowns for both modals, including “×” removal for global tags that syncs back to the server.
- Make the tag modals safer and more idempotent (re-usable DOM, Esc and backdrop-to-close, defensive checks on elements) while keeping the existing file row badge rendering and tag-based filtering behavior.
- Localize various tag-related strings where possible and ensure gallery + table views stay in sync after tag changes.
- Visual polish & theming
- Introduce a shared `--menu-radius` token and apply it across login form, file list container, restore modal, preview modals, OnlyOffice modal, user dropdown menus, and the Upload / Folder Management cards for consistent rounded corners.
- Update header button hover to use the same soft blue hover as other interactive elements and tune card shadows for light vs dark mode.
- Adjust media preview modal background to a darker neutral and tweak `filePreview` panel background fallback (`--panel-bg` / `--bg-color`) for better dark mode contrast.
- Style `.filr-menu` for both file + folder menus with max-height, scrolling, proper separators, and Material icons inheriting text color in light and dark themes.
- Align the user dropdown menu hover/active styles with the new menu hover tokens (`--filr-row-hover-bg`, `--filr-row-outline-hover`) for a consistent interaction feel.

## Changes 11/13/2025 (v1.9.5)
release(v1.9.5): harden folder tree DOM, add a11y to “Load more”, and guard folder paths
- Replace innerHTML-based row construction in folderManager.js with safe DOM APIs
(createElement, textContent, dataset). All user-derived strings now use
textContent; only locally-generated SVG remains via innerHTML.
- Add isSafeFolderPath() client-side guard; fail closed on suspicious paths
before rendering clickable nodes.
- “Load more” button rebuilt with proper a11y:
- aria-label, optional aria-controls to the UL
- aria-busy + disabled during fetch; restore state only if the node is still
present (Node.isConnected).
- Keep lazy tree + cursor pagination behavior intact; chevrons/icons continue to
hydrate from server hints (hasSubfolders/nonEmpty) once available.
- Addresses CodeQL XSS findings by removing unsafe HTML interpolation and
avoiding HTML interpretation of extracted text.
No breaking changes; security + UX polish on top of v1.9.4.
---
## Changes 11/13/2025 (v1.9.4)
release(v1.9.4): lazy folder tree, cursor pagination, ACL-safe chevrons, and “Load more” (closes #66)
**Big focus on folder management performance & UX for large libraries.**
feat(folder-tree):
- Lazy-load children on demand with cursor-based pagination (`nextCursor` + `limit`), including inline “Load more” row.
- BFS-based initial selection: if user can’t view requested/default folder, auto-pick the first accessible folder (but stick to (Root) when user can view it).
- Persisted expansion state across reloads; restore saved path and last opened folder; prevent navigation into locked folders (shows i18n toast instead).
- Breadcrumb now respects ACL: clicking a locked crumb toggles expansion only (no navigation).
- Live chevrons from server truth: `hasSubfolders` is computed server-side to avoid file count probes and show correct expanders (even when a direct child is unreadable).
- Capabilities-driven toolbar enable/disable for create/move/rename/color/delete/share.
- Color-carry on move/rename + expansion state migration so moved/renamed nodes keep colors and stay visible.
- Root DnD honored only when viewable; structural locks disable dragging.
perf(core):
- New `FS.php` helpers: safe path resolution (`safeReal`), segment sanitization, symlink defense, ignore/skip lists, bounded child counting, `hasSubfolders`, and `hasReadableDescendant` (depth-limited).
- Thin caching for child lists and counts, with targeted cache invalidation on move/rename/create/delete.
- Bounded concurrency for folder count requests; short timeouts to keep UI snappy.
api/model:
- `FolderModel::listChildren(...)` now returns items shaped like:
`{ name, locked, hasSubfolders, nonEmpty? }`
- `nonEmpty` included only for unlocked nodes (prevents side-channel leakage).
- Locked nodes are only returned when `hasReadableDescendant(...)` is true (preserves legacy “structural visibility without listing the entire tree” behavior).
- `public/api/folder/listChildren.php` delegates to controller/model; `isEmpty.php` hardened; `capabilities.php` exposes `canView` (or derived) for fast checks.
- Folder color endpoints gate results by ACL so users only see colors for folders they can at least “own-view”.
ui/ux:
- New “Load more” row (`
`) with dark-mode friendly ghost button styling; consistent padding, focus ring, hover state.
- Locked folders render with padlock overlay and no DnD; improved contrast/spacing; icons/chevrons update live as children load.
- i18n additions: `no_access`, `load_more`, `color_folder(_saved|_cleared)`, `please_select_valid_folder`, etc.
- When a user has zero access anywhere, tree selects (Root) but shows `no_access` instead of “No files found”.
security:
- Stronger path traversal + symlink protections across folder APIs (all joins normalized, base-anchored).
- Reduced metadata leakage by omitting `nonEmpty` for locked nodes and depth-limiting descendant checks.
fixes:
- Chevron visibility for unreadable intermediate nodes (e.g., “Files” shows a chevron when it contains a readable “Resources” descendant).
- Refresh now honors the actively viewed folder (session/localStorage), not the first globally readable folder.
chore:
- CSS additions for locked state, tree rows, and dark-mode ghost buttons.
- Minor code cleanups and comments across controller/model and JS tree logic.

## Changes 11/11/2025 (v1.9.3)
release(v1.9.3): unify folder icons across tree & strip, add “paper” lines, live color sync, and vendor-aware release
- UI / Icons
- Replace Material icon in folder strip with shared `folderSVG()` and export it for reuse. Adds clipPaths, subtle gradients, and `shape-rendering: geometricPrecision` to eliminate the tiny seam.
- Add ruled “paper” lines and blue handwriting dashes; CSS for `.paper-line` and `.paper-ink` included.
- Match strokes between tree (24px) and strip (48px) so both look identical; round joins/caps to avoid nicks.
- Polish folder strip layout & hover: tighter spacing, centered icon+label, improved wrapping.
- Folder color & non-empty detection
- Live color sync: after saving a color we dispatch `folderColorChanged`; strip repaints and tree refreshes.
- Async strip icon: paint immediately, then flip to “paper” if the folder has contents. HSL helpers compute front/back/stroke shades.
- FileList strip
- Render subfolders with `` + name, wire context menu actions (move, color, share, etc.), and attach icons for each tile.
- Exports & helpers
- Export `openColorFolderModal(...)` and `openMoveFolderUI(...)` for the strip and toolbar; use `refreshFolderIcon(...)` after ops to keep icons current.
- AppCore
- Update file upload DnD relay hook to `#fileList` (id rename).
- CSS tweaks
- Bring tree icon stroke/paint rules in line with the strip, add scribble styles, and adjust margins/spacing.
- CI/CD (release)
- Build PHP dependencies during release: setup PHP 8.3 + Composer, cache downloads, install into `staging/vendor/`, exclude `vendor/` from placeholder checks, and ship artifact including `vendor/`.
- Changelog highlights
- Sharper, seam-free folder SVGs shared across tree & strip, with paper lines + handwriting accents.
- Real-time folder color propagation between views.
- Folder strip switched to SVG tiles with better layout + context actions.
- Release pipeline now produces a ready-to-run zip that includes `vendor/`.

## Changes 11/10/2025 (v1.9.2)
release(v1.9.2): Upload modal + DnD relay from file list (with robust synthetic-drop fallback)
- New “Upload file(s)” action in Create menu:
- Adds `
` to the dropdown.
- Opens a reusable Upload modal that *moves* the existing #uploadCard into the modal (no cloning = no lost listeners).
- ESC / backdrop / “×” close support; focus jumps to “Choose Files” for fast keyboard flow.
- Drag & Drop from file list → Upload:
- Drag-over on #fileListContainer shows drop-hover and auto-opens the Upload modal after a short hover.
- On drop, waits until the modal’s #uploadDropArea exists, then relays the drop to it.
- Uses a resilient relay: attempts to attach DataTransfer to a synthetic event; falls back to a stash.
- Synthetic drop fallback:
- Introduces window.__pendingDropData (cleared after use).
- upload.js now reads e.dataTransfer || window.__pendingDropData to accept relayed drops across browsers.
- Implementation details:
- fileActions.js: adds openUploadModal()/closeUploadModal() with a hidden sentinel to return #uploadCard to its original place on close.
- appCore.js: imports openUploadModal, adds waitFor() helper, and wires dragover/leave/drop logic for the relay.
- index.html: adds Upload option to the Create menu and the #uploadModal scaffold.
- UX/Safety:
- Defensive checks if modal/card isn’t present.
- No backend/API changes; CSRF/auth unchanged.
Files touched: public/js/upload.js, public/js/fileActions.js, public/js/appCore.js, public/index.html

- feat(controls): “Color folder” button in Folder Management card
- New `.btn-color-folder` with accent palette (#008CB4), hover/active/focus states, dark-mode tuning; event wiring gated by caps.
- i18n: add strings for color UI (color_folder, choose_color, reset_default, save_color, folder_color_saved, folder_color_cleared).
- ux(tree): make expansion state more predictable across refreshes
- `expandTreePath(path, {force,persist,includeLeaf})` with persistence; keep ancestors expanded; add click-suppression guard.
- ux(layout): center the folder-actions toolbar; remove left padding hacks; normalize icon sizing.
- chore(ops): add scripts/manual-sync.sh (safe rsync update path, preserves data dirs and public/.htaccess).
---
## Changes 11/9/2025 (v1.9.0)
release(v1.9.0): folder tree UX overhaul, fast ACL-aware counts, and .htaccess hardening
feat(ui): modern folder tree
- New crisp folder SVG with clear paper insert; unified yellow/orange palette for light & dark
- Proper ARIA tree semantics (role=treeitem, aria-expanded), cleaner chevrons, better alignment
- Breadcrumb tweaks (› separators), hover/selected polish
- Prime icons locally, then confirm via counts for accurate “empty vs non-empty”
feat(api): add /api/folder/isEmpty.php via controller/model
- public/api/folder/isEmpty.php delegates to FolderController::stats()
- FolderModel::countVisible() enforces ACL, path safety, and short-circuits after first entry
- Releases PHP session lock early to avoid parallel-request pileups
perf: cap concurrent “isEmpty” requests + timeouts
- Small concurrency limiter + fetch timeouts
- In-memory result & inflight caches for fewer network hits
fix(state): preserve user expand/collapse choices
- Respect saved folderTreeState; don’t auto-expand unopened nodes
- Only show ancestors for visibility when navigating (no unwanted persists)
security: tighten .htaccess while enabling WebDAV
- Deny direct PHP except /api/*.php, /api.php, and /webdav.php
- AcceptPathInfo On; keep path-aware dotfile denial
refactor: move count logic to model; thin controller action
chore(css): add unified “folder tree” block with variables (sizes, gaps, colors)
Files touched: FolderModel.php, FolderController.php, public/js/folderManager.js, public/css/styles.css, public/api/folder/isEmpty.php (new), public/.htaccess
---
## Changes 11/8/2025 (v1.8.13)
release(v1.8.13): ui(dnd): stabilize zones, lock sidebar width, and keep header dock in sync
- dnd: fix disappearing/overlapping cards when moving between sidebar/top; return to origin on failed drop
- layout: placeCardInZone now live-updates top layout, sidebar visibility, and toggle icon
- toggle/collapse: move ALL cards to header on collapse, restore saved layout on expand; keep icon state synced; add body.sidebar-hidden for proper file list expansion; emit `zones:collapsed-changed`
- header dock: show dock whenever icons exist (and on collapse); hide when empty
- responsive: enforceResponsiveZones also updates toggle icon; stash/restore behavior unchanged
- sidebar: hard-lock width to 350px (CSS) and remove runtime 280px minWidth; add placeholder when empty to make dropping back easy
- CSS: right-align header dock buttons, centered “Drop Zone” label, sensible min-height; dark-mode safe
- refactor: small renames/ordering; remove redundant z-index on toggle; minor formatting
---
## Changes 11/8/2025 (v1.8.12)
release(v1.8.12): auth UI & DnD polish — show OIDC, auto-SSO, right-aligned header icons
- auth (public/js/main.js)
- Robust login options: tolerate key variants (disableFormLogin/disable_form_login, etc.).
- Correctly show/hide wrapper + individual methods (form/OIDC/basic).
- Auto-SSO when OIDC is the only enabled method; add opt-out with `?noauto=1`.
- Minor cleanup (SW register catch spacing).
- drag & drop (public/js/dragAndDrop.js)
- Reworked zones model: Sidebar / Top (left/right) / Header (icon+modal).
- Persist user layout with `userZonesSnapshot.v2` and responsive stash for small screens.
- Live UI sync: toggle icon (`material-icons`) updates immediately after moves.
- Smarter small-screen behavior: lift sidebar cards ephemerally; restore only what belonged to sidebar.
- Cleaner header icon modal plumbing; remove legacy/dead code.
- styles (public/css/styles.css)
- Header drop zone fills remaining space and right-aligns its icons.
UX:
- OIDC button reliably appears when form/basic are disabled.
- If OIDC is the sole method, users are taken straight to the provider (unless `?noauto=1`).
- Header icons sit with the other header actions (right-aligned), and the toggle icon reflects layout changes instantly.
---
## Changes 11/8/2025 (v1.8.11)
release(v1.8.11): fix(oidc): always send PKCE (S256) and treat empty secret as public client
- Force PKCE via setCodeChallengeMethod('S256') so Authelia’s public-client policy is satisfied.
- Convert empty OIDC client secret to null to correctly signal a public client.
- Optional commented hook to switch token endpoint auth to client_secret_post if desired.
- OIDC_TOKEN_ENDPOINT_AUTH_METHOD added to config.php
---
## Changes 11/8/2025 (v1.8.10)
release(v1.8.10): theme-aware media modal, stronger file drag-and-drop, unified progress color, and favicon overhaul
UI/UX — Media modal
- Add fixed top bar to avoid filename/controls overlapping native media chrome; keep hover-on-stage look.
- Show a Material icon by file type next to the filename (image/video/pdf/code/arch/txt, with fallback).
- Restore “X” behavior and make hover theme-aware (red pill + white ‘X’ in light, red pill + black ‘X’ in dark).
Video/Image controls
- Top-right action icons use theme-aware styles and align with the filename row.
- Prev/Next paddles remain high-contrast and vertically centered within the stage.
Progress badges (list & modal)
- Standardize “in-progress” to darker orange (#ea580c) for better contrast in light/dark; update CSS and list badge rendering.
Drag & drop
- Support multi-select drags with a clean JSON payload + text fallback; nicer drag ghost.
- More resilient drops: accept data-dest-folder, safer JSON parse, early guards, and better toasts.
- POST move now sends Accept header, uses global CSRF, and refreshes the active view on success.
Editor & ONLYOFFICE
- Full-screen OO modal with preconnect, optional hidden warm-up to reduce first-open latency, and live theme sync.
- CodeMirror path: fix theme/mode setters (use `cm`) and tighten dynamic mode loading.
Assets & polish
- Swap in full favicon stack (SVG + PNG 512/32/16 + ICO) and set theme-color; cache-busted via `{{APP_QVER}}`.
- Refresh `logo.svg` (accessibility, cleaner handles/gradients).
Also added: refreshed resource images and new logo sizes (logo-16, logo-32, logo-64, etc.) for crisper favicons and embeds.
---
## Changes 11/7/2025 (v1.8.9)
release(v1.8.9): fix(oidc, admin): first-save Client ID/Secret (closes #64)
- adminPanel.js:
- Masked inputs without a saved value now start with data-replace="1".
- handleSave() now sends oidc.clientId / oidc.clientSecret on first save (no longer requires clicking “Replace” first).
---
## Changes 11/7/2025 (v1.8.8)
release(v1.8.8): background ZIP jobs w/ tokenized download + in‑modal progress bar; robust finalize; janitor cleanup — closes #60
**Summary**
This release moves ZIP creation off the request thread into a **background worker** and switches the client to a **queue > poll > tokenized GET** download flow. It fixes large multi‑GB ZIP failures caused by request timeouts or cross‑device renames, and provides a resilient in‑modal progress experience. It also adds a 6‑hour janitor for temporary tokens/logs.
**Backend** changes:
- Add **zip status** endpoint that returns progress and readiness, and **tokenized download** endpoint for one‑shot downloads.
- Update `FileController::downloadZip()` to enqueue a job and return `{ token, statusUrl, downloadUrl }` instead of streaming a blob in the POST response.
- Implement `spawnZipWorker()` to find a working PHP CLI, set `TMPDIR` on the same filesystem as the final ZIP, spawn with `nohup`, and persist PID/log metadata for diagnostics.
- Serve finished ZIPs via `downloadZipFile()` with strict token/user checks and streaming headers; unlink the ZIP after successful read.
New **Worker**:
- New `src/cli/zip_worker.php` builds the archive in the background.
- Writes progress fields (`pct`, `filesDone`, `filesTotal`, `bytesDone`, `bytesTotal`, `current`, `phase`, `startedAt`, `finalizeAt`) to the per‑token JSON.
- During **finalizing**, publishes `selectedFiles`/`selectedBytes` and clears incremental counters to avoid the confusing “N/N files” display before `close()` returns.
- Adds a **janitor**: purge `.tokens/*.json` and `.logs/WORKER-*.log` older than **6 hours** on each run.
New **API/Status Payload**:
- `zipStatus()` exposes `ready` (derived from `status=done` + existing `zipPath`), and includes `startedAt`/`finalizeAt` for UI timers.
- Returns a prebuilt `downloadUrl` for a direct handoff once the ZIP is ready.
**Frontend (UX)** changes:
- Replace blob POST download with **enqueue → poll → tokenized GET** flow.
- Native `
