Security & Architecture Highlights

  1. In-Memory Credentials:
    • Confluence Base URL and Personal Access Token (PAT) reside strictly in browser JavaScript memory.
    • Never written to localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, query parameters, console logs, or exported files.
    • A cw_session HttpOnly cookie is set by the origin for artifact download ownership.
  2. Content Security Policy (CSP):
    • default-src 'none'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self'; connect-src 'self'; img-src 'none'; media-src 'none'; font-src 'self'; object-src 'none'; frame-src 'none'; base-uri 'none'; form-action 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'
    • Completely prevents automatic third-party network requests, tracking pixels, and unauthorized script injection.
    • Verified via browser network tracing (zero automatic external requests).
  3. Markdown Sanitization & Link Safety:
    • Restricted element allowlist using locally vendored DOMPurify.
    • Fail-safe rendering: if parser or sanitizer are absent or fail, displays a safe notice without ever injecting raw untrusted HTML.
    • All links rewritten to require explicit user clicks with target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer".
    • Disallowed protocols (javascript:, data:, file:) have href stripped.
  4. Large Result Handling & Memory Bounding:
    • Large answers partitioned into bounded sections (~48 KiB soft target, ~64 KiB hard cap) rendered on demand.
    • Giant code fences (e.g. 12 MB) are safely split and re-opened so every section is a valid Markdown code block.
    • Tables preserve row boundaries and repeat column headers across sections.
    • Pathological blocks fall back to a bounded plain-text preview with full export available.
    • "Export to MD" always exports the complete, untouched raw Markdown client-side via Blob.
    • Tool call results in history are rendered lazily with bounded serialization buffers (serializeBounded).

Development & Testing

Running the Dev Mock Server

The mock server runs entirely with Node.js built-ins (zero dependencies) on loopback:

cd frontend
npm run dev
# Or custom port:
node dev/mock-server.js --port 5173

Open http://127.0.0.1:5173/ in your browser. A floating dev toolbar in the bottom-right corner allows toggling between all 13 deterministic mock scenarios (e.g. normal shared example, 403 verify, 409 busy, 504 timeout, malicious content, large output, delayed cancellation).

Running Unit & Contract Tests

Tests verify API limits, wire contracts, headers, cookies, and markdown partitioning (30 tests):

cd frontend
npm test

Running E2E Browser Tests

Runs comprehensive browser tests against Chrome on port 9444 via CDP (16 tests):

cd frontend
npm run test:e2e
