What's changed

New features

• Mobile OIDC authentication bridge: Native iOS and Android clients can complete OIDC sign-in in the system browser using PKCE, then exchange a one-time code for a session. See OIDC.
• Brazilian Portuguese: The complete pt-BR translation is available. Regional locales, including pt-BR, zh-CN, and zh-TW, are recognized case-insensitively.
• Safer, more responsive terminal sessions: Terminal connection logs no longer expose session credentials, folder listings refresh after terminal file operations, and session validation is stricter.
• 7-Zip archive operations: Extract and create archives with password support, progress reporting, cancellation, and protections against archive bombs.
• Advanced search: Search content in Office documents and PDFs, use filename glob patterns, and tune result, file-size, and timeout limits.
• Media tracks and subtitles: Media previews detect unsupported codecs, handle embedded and sidecar subtitles, convert compatible subtitles to WebVTT, and improve navigation and zoom.
• Optional content search index: Enable a resumable, contentless index with bounded CPU and memory use through SEARCH_INDEX=true.
• Recursive folder sizes: Enable background, resumable folder-size and entry-count indexing with bounded concurrency, timeouts, and circuit breakers.
• Personal-folder isolation: Personal folders are protected against cross-user access, symlink escapes, and folder-name collisions.
• Express 5: The backend now uses Express 5, including updated wildcard routes and path handling.
• Documentation homepage: A refreshed documentation home page is now available.
• Improved swipe gestures: Touch swipe behavior has been refined, resolving #354 and #251.

Fixes and reliability

• Restored required API modules and middleware, preventing frontend build and backend startup failures; CI now validates pull requests and pushes to main.
• Added p7zip and poppler-utils to the container image, restoring archive extraction and PDF text search.
• Corrected folder-size route syntax for compatibility with the prior Express 4 dependency during the migration.
• Replaced a literal NUL byte in pathUtils.js, making the source reviewable and searchable again.
