+# No additional credentials are required on the server side.
+# The mobile app registers its Expo push token via POST /api/mobile/register-device.
+#
+# To use native FCM/APNs directly (without Expo relay), replace the
+# send_expo_push_notification function in app/utils/push_notification.py.

+### Internationalization (i18n) & Localization (l10n)
+- **Always** use the `_("key")` helper in Jinja2 templates and `translate("key", locale)` in Python for every user-visible string — never hardcode UI text.
+- **Only add new keys to `frontend/translations/en.json`** — that is the one and only file you must touch when introducing new UI strings.
+- Do **not** manually edit any non-English translation file (`de.json`, `fr.json`, etc.). An external automation script syncs all other language files from `en.json` automatically.
+- Key naming convention: `<section>.<descriptor>` in snake_case, e.g. `language.search_placeholder`, `nav.help`, `common.cancel`.
+- The `test_all_languages_have_same_keys` check has been intentionally removed — key completeness across locales is enforced by the external sync script, not by the test suite.
+
 ### Testing
 - Write tests in `tests/` directory, mirroring `app/` structure
 - Use pytest markers: `@pytest.mark.unit`, `@pytest.mark.integration`, etc.

+## 2024-05-24 - SSRF in WebDAV connection test
+**Vulnerability:** The `_test_webdav_connection` function had a custom SSRF check that failed to resolve DNS names, allowing attackers to bypass the check by providing a domain that resolves to an internal IP (e.g., `127.0.0.1`).
+**Learning:** DNS resolution is required for robust SSRF protection when validating URLs provided by users.
+**Prevention:** Use a centralized `is_private_ip` function (now in `app/utils/network.py`) that resolves the hostname to its IPs and checks if any are private.
+## 2026-03-22 - B310: urllib.request.urlopen replaced with httpx
+**Vulnerability:** The `_test_webdav_connection` function used `urllib.request.urlopen`, which natively supports dangerous schemes like `file://` or `ftp://` and follows redirects by default, potentially allowing SSRF bypasses or Local File Inclusion.
+**Learning:** `urllib.request` should be avoided for user-supplied URLs. Even when URL schemes are manually validated, `urllib`'s default redirect following behavior can bypass SSRF protections (e.g. redirecting to `127.0.0.1`).
+**Prevention:** Use a modern, safer HTTP client like `httpx` with `follow_redirects=False` when testing user-provided URLs.
+
+## 2026-03-20 - Safe Path Traversal Prevention in Low-Level Utilities
+**Vulnerability:** The generic file utility `hash_file` in `app/utils/file_operations.py` accepted any file path and was vulnerable to reading arbitrary files via path traversal (e.g., `../../../etc/passwd`) or absolute paths if an attacker could control the `filepath` argument.
+**Learning:** Naively checking for `".." in path` breaks legitimate relative paths used internally by the application. Blocking absolute paths entirely also breaks functionality. Input validation should occur at the API boundary, but for defense-in-depth, low-level utilities must enforce expected boundaries (e.g., the application's `workdir`).
+**Prevention:** Use `pathlib.Path.resolve()` on both the target path and the allowed base directory (`settings.workdir`). Ensure the resolved target path is strictly within the allowed boundary using `filepath_obj.relative_to(workdir_obj)`, catching the `ValueError` that is raised when the path is out of bounds. This safely blocks both relative traversal attacks and arbitrary absolute paths.
+## 2025-05-18 - [SSRF Bypass via DNS Resolution Failure]
+**Vulnerability:** The `is_private_ip` function in `app/utils/network.py` failed open (returned `False`) when a hostname could not be resolved (`socket.gaierror`).
+**Learning:** This fail-open pattern was originally added to allow external domains in tests, but in production, it created a severe SSRF risk. An attacker could bypass SSRF protections by providing a URL that fails to resolve during the security check but resolves later (DNS rebinding), or by exploiting internal routing behaviors via unresolvable addresses.
+**Prevention:** Always fail securely in network authorization functions. If a domain cannot be resolved to verify its safety, the request must be blocked (`return True` / default-deny). Tests should mock DNS resolution correctly instead of compromising production security logic.
+## 2026-03-26 - SSRF in Integration Connection Tests
+**Vulnerability:** The `_test_imap_connection` and `_test_s3_connection` functions in `app/api/integrations.py` did not validate user-provided `host` and `endpoint_url` variables against `is_private_ip()`. This allowed an attacker to test the presence of internal IMAP servers or direct S3 SDK API calls to internal infrastructure via SSRF.
+**Learning:** Any time a new generic connection or integration test is added, SSRF validation may be forgotten if the core network utility (`is_private_ip`) is not systematically applied to all outbound network operations, regardless of the protocol (e.g., IMAP, S3).
+**Prevention:** Establish a pattern where any user-configurable host or endpoint URL is immediately passed through the centralized `is_private_ip` validation function before any network call or third-party client initialization.
+## 2026-03-27 - SSRF Bypass via HTTP Redirects
+**Vulnerability:** The `process_url` endpoint in `app/api/url_upload.py` used `httpx.AsyncClient` with `follow_redirects=True`. While the initial user-provided URL was validated against SSRF, if the remote server returned an HTTP redirect to an internal IP (like 127.0.0.1 or an AWS metadata endpoint), the HTTP client would automatically follow the redirect without validating the new target URL.
+**Learning:** Initial URL validation is insufficient if the HTTP client automatically follows redirects. Attackers can easily set up external servers that respond with `302 Found` pointing to internal network addresses.
+**Prevention:** If `follow_redirects=True` is required, always implement an event hook (e.g., `event_hooks={"response": [check_redirect]}`) to intercept redirect responses, extract the `Location` header, and validate the target URL using `is_private_ip` or `validate_url_safety` before the client follows it.

- **Dropbox**, **Nextcloud**, and **Google Drive** for file storage and uploads.
- **Paperless NGX** for document indexing and management.
- **Azure Document Intelligence** for OCR on PDFs.
- **Gotenberg** for file-to-PDF conversions.
- **Authentik** for authentication and user management.
+**Key capabilities:**

-It is designed for flexibility and configurability through environment variables, making it easily customizable for different workflows. The system can fetch documents from multiple IMAP mailboxes, process them (OCR, metadata extraction, PDF conversion), and store them in the desired destinations.
+- **AI-Powered Metadata Extraction** — pluggable AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Ollama (local), OpenRouter, Portkey, and Azure OpenAI via LiteLLM
+- **Multi-Engine OCR** — Azure Document Intelligence, Tesseract, EasyOCR, Mistral OCR, Google Cloud Document AI, and AWS Textract with configurable merge strategies
+- **12 Storage Destinations** — Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Nextcloud, WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, iCloud Drive, Email (SMTP), Paperless-ngx, and Rclone
+- **Multi-Channel Ingestion** — web upload, browser extension, mobile app, CLI, REST API, IMAP email, and watched folders (local, cloud, FTP/SFTP)
+- **Processing Pipelines** — customizable multi-step workflows with conditional routing rules
+- **Full-Text Search** — powered by Meilisearch for instant document discovery
+- **Multi-User with SSO** — local accounts, OAuth2/OIDC (Authentik), and social login (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Dropbox)

-The project includes a **UI** for uploading and managing files, and an API documentation page is available at `/docs` (powered by **FastAPI**).

-## Workflow Process
-
-DocuElevate follows a streamlined document processing workflow:
+## Workflow

 <div align="center">
  <img src="docs/workflow-diagram.png" alt="DocuElevate Workflow" width="90%" />
 </div>

-### Document Ingestion
-Documents enter DocuElevate through four possible channels:
-1. **Web Upload**: Users manually upload files via the web interface
-2. **Browser Extension**: Send files directly from your browser with one click
-3. **Email Attachments**: Automatic polling of configured IMAP mailboxes (supports multiple accounts)
-4. **API**: Direct programmatic uploads via the REST API
+### Ingestion
+
+Documents enter DocuElevate through multiple channels:
+
+| Channel | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **Web Upload** | Drag-and-drop interface with real-time progress (up to 1 GB per file) |
+| **Browser Extension** | Clip web pages or send files from Chrome, Firefox, or Edge |
+| **Mobile App** | Capture documents with the device camera or upload from the photo library |
+| **CLI** | Batch uploads and scripted workflows via the `docuelevate` command-line tool |
+| **REST API** | Programmatic uploads with full API-token authentication |
+| **Email (IMAP)** | Automatic polling of multiple mailboxes with attachment filtering |
+| **Watched Folders** | Monitor local paths, FTP, SFTP, S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Nextcloud, or WebDAV for new files |

 ### Processing Pipeline
-Every document goes through the following steps:
-1. **PDF Conversion**: Non-PDF files are converted to PDF format using Gotenberg
-2. **OCR Processing**: Azure Document Intelligence extracts text from images/scans
-3. **Metadata Extraction**: The configured AI provider analyzes document content to identify:
-   - Document type (invoice, receipt, contract, etc.)
-   - Key entities (dates, names, amounts, account numbers)
-   - Important data points specific to the document type
-4. **Enrichment**: Metadata is attached to the document in a structured format
+
+Each document passes through a configurable set of steps:
+
+1. **PDF Conversion** — Non-PDF files are converted using Gotenberg, with optional PDF/A archival conversion
+2. **OCR** — Text extraction via one or more OCR engines (Azure, Tesseract, EasyOCR, Mistral, Google Document AI, AWS Textract) with configurable merge strategies
+3. **AI Metadata Extraction** — The configured AI provider classifies the document and extracts structured metadata (type, dates, amounts, entities)
+4. **Enrichment** — Metadata is embedded into the PDF and stored alongside the document
+5. **Embedding Generation** — Vector embeddings for similarity search and duplicate detection
+
+Steps can be customized using **Pipelines** and **Routing Rules** for conditional processing.

 ### Distribution
-Processed documents with their metadata can be automatically sent to:
- **Dropbox**: For cloud storage and sharing
- **Nextcloud**: For self-hosted file storage
- **Google Drive**: For Google Workspace integration
- **Paperless-NGX**: For advanced document management with search capabilities

-Users can choose to send documents to any combination of these destinations through configuration settings or manual selection.
+Processed documents are distributed to any combination of configured destinations:
+
+| Destination | Type |
+|------------|------|
+| **Dropbox** | Cloud storage |
+| **Google Drive** | Cloud storage |
+| **OneDrive** | Cloud storage |
+| **Amazon S3** | Object storage |
+| **Nextcloud** | Self-hosted cloud |
+| **WebDAV** | Protocol-based |
+| **FTP / SFTP** | File transfer |
+| **iCloud Drive** | Apple cloud |
+| **Email (SMTP)** | Send as attachment |
+| **Paperless-ngx** | Document management system |
+| **Rclone** | 70+ cloud providers via Rclone |

+## Per-User IMAP Account Passwords (Added 2026-03-08)
+
+### Known Limitation: Plain-text Password Storage
+
+IMAP account passwords in the `user_imap_accounts` table are stored in plain text in the database.
+
+**Risk:** Anyone with direct database access (DBA, backup access) can read IMAP credentials for all users.
+
+**Mitigations in place:**
+- Database itself should be protected with appropriate OS-level file permissions (SQLite) or network ACLs (PostgreSQL/MySQL).
+- Passwords are never returned in API responses (the `_to_response` serialiser omits them).
+- Only the account owner can read or update their own accounts (ownership enforced at the API layer).
+- Passwords are never logged.
+
+**Future improvement:** Encrypt IMAP passwords at rest using `cryptography.fernet` (symmetric encryption with the app's `SESSION_SECRET` as key material). This is tracked as a TODO item in `app/api/imap_accounts.py` and should be implemented before this feature is used in high-security environments.
+
+**Recommended admin action:** Use app-specific passwords (Gmail, Outlook) rather than account passwords where possible, so that compromised IMAP credentials can be revoked without affecting the user's primary account.

+Scheduled batch processing tasks for DocuElevate.

+This module provides Celery tasks that can be scheduled via Celery Beat
+and managed through the admin UI (``/admin/scheduled-jobs``):
+
+Core batch jobs
+---------------
+- ``process_new_documents``      – Queue documents that have never been processed.
+- ``reprocess_failed_documents`` – Re-queue documents whose processing failed.
+- ``cleanup_temp_files``         – Remove stale files from the ``workdir/tmp`` directory.
+
+Maintenance / housekeeping jobs
+--------------------------------
+- ``expire_shared_links``        – Auto-revoke SharedLinks whose ``expires_at`` has passed.
+- ``prune_processing_logs``      – Delete old rows from ``processing_logs`` and
+                                   ``settings_audit_log`` to prevent unbounded table growth.
+- ``prune_old_notifications``    – Delete old read ``in_app_notifications`` rows.
+- ``backfill_missing_metadata``  – Re-trigger AI metadata extraction for completed files
+                                   that have OCR text but no ``ai_metadata``.
+- ``sync_search_index``          – Index documents in Meilisearch that have OCR text /
+                                   metadata but are not yet in the search index.
+
+Each task records its execution result back to the ``ScheduledJob`` table so
+the admin UI can display last-run times and statuses.

+"""PDF/A archival conversion task.
+
+Converts PDF files to PDF/A format using ocrmypdf (which relies on Ghostscript
+internally).  Two variants are produced when enabled:
+
+1. **Original PDF/A** – an archival copy of the ingested file, providing a
+   time-stamped record of the document as it was upon ingestion.
+2. **Processed PDF/A** – an archival copy of the processed file with embedded
+   metadata.
+
+Both are saved under ``workdir/pdfa/`` and referenced in the database via
+``FileRecord.original_pdfa_path`` and ``FileRecord.processed_pdfa_path``.
+
+When ``PDFA_TIMESTAMP_ENABLED`` is True, each PDF/A file also gets an RFC 3161
+timestamp response (``.tsr``) from a configurable Timestamp Authority (default:
+FreeTSA).  This provides cryptographic proof of the file's existence at a given
+point in time.
+
+.. note::
+
+   PDF/A conversion may alter font rendering (especially OCR text overlays
+   produced by Microsoft Azure Document Intelligence).  This is expected –
+   the PDF/A copies are parallel archival variants, not replacements.

+"""Upload files to Apple iCloud Drive via the pyicloud library.
+
+This module uses the ``pyicloud`` library to authenticate with Apple's iCloud
+service and upload files to iCloud Drive.  Because Apple does not offer a public
+REST API for iCloud Drive, this integration relies on the *unofficial*
+reverse-engineered protocol implemented by ``pyicloud``.
+
+Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+* An Apple ID with iCloud Drive enabled.
+* An **app-specific password** generated at https://appleid.apple.com (required
+  when two-factor authentication is active – which is the default for all modern
+  Apple IDs).
+* The ``pyicloud`` Python package (``pip install pyicloud``).
+
+Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Set the following environment variables (or ``app/config.py`` fields):
+
+* ``ICLOUD_USERNAME`` – Apple ID email address.
+* ``ICLOUD_PASSWORD`` – App-specific password.
+* ``ICLOUD_FOLDER``   – Target folder path inside iCloud Drive, using ``/`` as
+  the separator (e.g. ``Documents/Uploads``).  The folder is created
+  automatically if it does not exist.
+* ``ICLOUD_COOKIE_DIRECTORY`` – (Optional) Directory for persisting session
+  cookies so that re-authentication is avoided between task runs.  Defaults to
+  ``~/.pyicloud``.
