## Summary
`stack emulator start` now resumes a fully-warm VM snapshot instead of
cold-booting, bringing startup from 30–120s down to ~5–8s with
per-install secret rotation, or ~2.5s with rotation opt-out. The
snapshot is captured **locally on first `stack emulator pull`**, not
shipped from CI — QEMU migration state isn't portable across
accelerators (KVM/HVF/TCG) or `-cpu max` feature sets, so a CI-captured
snapshot couldn't resume reliably on arbitrary user hardware.
Also bundles a pile of CLI QoL fixes (progress bars, PR/run artifact
pulls, PR-build download, native-TS ISO writer replacing
`hdiutil`/`mkisofs`/`genisoimage` host dep, unit tests).
| Scenario | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Cold boot (no snapshot) | 30–120s | same, works as fallback |
| `stack emulator pull` (one-time, includes local snapshot capture) |
~30s download | ~30s download + ~1–3 min cold-boot capture |
| Snapshot resume, normal start | — | **~5–8s** |
| Snapshot resume, `EMULATOR_NO_ROTATION=1` | — | **~2.5s** |
Backend (`/health?db=1`) and dashboard (`/handler/sign-in`) return 200
on all paths. Two successive snapshot resumes produce different rotated
PCK/SSK/SAK/CRON_SECRET values per install.
## How it works
**Build (CI)** — `docker/local-emulator/qemu/build-image.sh`:
1. Cloud-init provisioning runs to completion (migrations, seed,
slim-image) producing `stack-emulator-<arch>.qcow2`.
2. Image is built with a topology compatible with later snapshot capture
(pinned SMP=4, phantom seed/bundle ISOs, STACKCFG runtime ISO mounted at
build time, qemu-guest-agent running, placeholder hex secrets baked in
under `STACK_EMULATOR_BUILD_SNAPSHOT=1`).
3. CI publishes **only the qcow2** — no `.savevm.zst` ships.
**Pull (user's machine)** —
`packages/stack-cli/src/commands/emulator.ts` + `run-emulator.sh
capture`:
1. `stack emulator pull` downloads the qcow2 with a progress bar (or
from a PR / workflow run via `--pr` / `--run`).
2. CLI invokes `run-emulator.sh capture`: cold-boots the qcow2 with a
matching device layout (phantom ISOs, fsdev, pcie-root-port, virtfs
detached — migration-incompatible), waits for backend+dashboard health,
then drives QMP: `stop` → set `mapped-ram` + `multifd` caps → `migrate
file:state.raw` → poll `query-migrate` → `quit`. Raw mapped-ram file is
zstd-compressed to `stack-emulator-<arch>.savevm.zst` in the images dir.
3. `--skip-snapshot` opts out (first `start` will then cold-boot).
**Runtime** — `run-emulator.sh start`:
1. Launch QEMU with `-incoming defer` when a `.savevm.zst` is present;
decompress on first use, keep the `.raw` cached for subsequent starts.
2. QMP: same `mapped-ram` + `multifd` caps → `migrate-incoming
file:<.raw>` → poll for `paused` → `cont`.
3. Generate fresh per-install secrets on the host; pipe them
base64-encoded through QGA `guest-exec input-data` →
`trigger-fast-rotate` in the guest → `docker exec -e … rotate-secrets`.
4. `rotate-secrets` in the container: validate keys (hex-only), targeted
`sed` on the placeholder PCK across built JS, `UPDATE ApiKeySet`,
`supervisorctl restart stack-app cron-jobs` (with
`stopasgroup`/`killasgroup` so the Node children actually die and
release their ports).
5. Poll backend+dashboard health; if anything fails, clean up and fall
back to cold boot transparently.
**Security model**: placeholder hex values are baked into the snapshot
(`00…ff` PCK, `00…ee` SSK, `00…dd` SAK, `00…cc` CRON_SECRET). They are
non-secret by construction. Real per-install secrets are generated at
each `emulator start` and never leave the host.
## CLI changes (`packages/stack-cli`)
- **`src/lib/iso.ts`** (new): native TypeScript ISO 9660 + Joliet
writer, replacing the host-side `hdiutil`/`mkisofs`/`genisoimage`
dependency for generating the STACKCFG runtime config disk. Unit tests
in `src/lib/iso.test.ts`.
- **`src/commands/emulator.ts`**:
- `pull`: streamed downloads with progress bar + ETA; `--pr <number>`
and `--run <id>` to pull from a PR build's CI artifacts (uses
`extract-zip` for the nested zip); `--skip-snapshot` to opt out of the
one-time local capture.
- `start` (existing, extended): auto-pulls AND auto-captures when no
image exists, so first-ever `start` is self-bootstrapping; emits
`STACK_EMULATOR_CLI_WROTE_ISO=1` so the shell helper skips its own ISO
regen (avoids the genisoimage host dep).
- `capture` (new, invoked by `pull` and the auto-pull path of `start`):
drives the local snapshot capture via `run-emulator.sh`.
- `status`, `stop`, `reset`, `list-releases`: preflight +
path-resolution tightening (`STACK_EMULATOR_HOME` → images/run dirs).
- Unit tests in `src/commands/emulator.test.ts`.
- **`EMULATOR_NO_ROTATION=1`** env var skips the post-resume rotation
(intended for tests/CI where the placeholder secrets are fine — comes
with a loud warning).
## CI (`.github/workflows/qemu-emulator-build.yaml`)
- Builds **QEMU 10.2.2 from source** (cached), because
`mapped-ram`/`multifd` migration capabilities aren't available in the
distro's QEMU. Enables KVM on ubicloud runners so amd64 boots at
hardware speed.
- amd64 + arm64 both build on the same amd64 matrix
(`ubicloud-standard-8`); arm64 runs under cross-arch TCG (provisioning
only — boot/verify smoke test is amd64-only).
- Verification now runs through the CLI: `emulator start` → `emulator
status` → `emulator stop` against the freshly-built qcow2 (via
`STACK_EMULATOR_HOME` pointing at the workspace, so the CLI doesn't
silently auto-pull a prior release).
- Packages **only** the qcow2. No `.savevm.zst` upload / publish.
- Release notes updated.
## Key files
**Shell / guest:**
- `docker/local-emulator/qemu/build-image.sh` — snapshot-compatible
device topology + STACKCFG runtime ISO at build time
- `docker/local-emulator/qemu/run-emulator.sh` — `start`, `capture`,
`stop`, `reset`, `status`; `-incoming defer`, `.raw` cache, QGA-driven
rotation, cold-boot fallback
- `docker/local-emulator/qemu/common.sh` (new) — shared `qmp_session` +
`capture_vm_state` (factored out so build-image.sh and run-emulator.sh
share the capture path)
- `docker/local-emulator/qemu/cloud-init/emulator/user-data` —
placeholder secrets in snapshot mode, `wait-for-stack-ready`,
`trigger-fast-rotate`, qemu-guest-agent enabled
- `docker/local-emulator/rotate-secrets.sh` (new) — in-container
rotation (sed + UPDATE + supervisorctl)
- `docker/local-emulator/supervisord.conf` — `stopasgroup`/`killasgroup`
on `stack-app` and `cron-jobs`
- `docker/local-emulator/entrypoint.sh` — only mint CRON_SECRET if unset
(placeholder supplied in snapshot mode via --env-file)
- `docker/local-emulator/Dockerfile` — ships `rotate-secrets` to
`/usr/local/bin`
- `docker/server/entrypoint.sh` — source
`/run/stack-auth/rotated-secrets.env`; skip full-tree sentinel scan on
warm restarts via marker
**CLI:**
- `packages/stack-cli/src/lib/iso.ts` (new) + `iso.test.ts` (new)
- `packages/stack-cli/src/commands/emulator.ts` + `emulator.test.ts`
(new)
- `packages/stack-cli/vitest.config.ts` (new)
**CI:**
- `.github/workflows/qemu-emulator-build.yaml`
## Test plan
- [x] `docker/local-emulator/qemu/build-image.sh {amd64,arm64}` produces
`stack-emulator-<arch>.qcow2` with snapshot-compatible topology
- [x] `stack emulator pull` downloads qcow2 with progress, then captures
locally (~1–3 min) and writes `stack-emulator-<arch>.savevm.zst` in the
images dir
- [x] `stack emulator pull --skip-snapshot` stops after download
- [x] `stack emulator pull --pr <n>` / `--run <id>` pull from PR /
workflow run artifacts
- [x] `stack emulator start` on a fresh dir auto-pulls **and**
auto-captures, then starts; subsequent starts fast-resume in ~5–8s;
backend + dashboard return 200
- [x] `EMULATOR_NO_ROTATION=1 stack emulator start` completes in ~2.5s;
backend + dashboard return 200 with warning printed
- [x] Two consecutive `emulator start` invocations produce different PCK
values in the internal `ApiKeySet` row
- [x] `stack emulator status` / `stop` / `reset` resolve paths from
`STACK_EMULATOR_HOME`
- [x] Verified end-to-end on arm64 macOS under HVF (capture ~50s,
fast-resume ~6.5s)
- [x] `pnpm lint` and `pnpm typecheck` pass; stack-cli unit tests (iso +
emulator) pass
- [ ] CI green on this PR (qemu-emulator-build matrix, smoke test)
- [ ] `gh release download emulator-<branch>-latest` contains only
`stack-emulator-<arch>.qcow2` once this PR merges and publish runs

### Object of this PR
This PR is NOT a monolithic series of fixes for the payments suite + a
complete rework. Its aims were
a) introducing and robustly testing the bulldozer db system
b) reworking the payments underlying architecture to use bulldozer for
correctness and scalability
c) Achieving parity with the old payments system excepting a few changes
like ensuring correctness of the ledger algo
There may still be some work to do with handling refunds, decoupling the
concepts of purchases from that of products, and some other things.
### Ledger Algorithm
This has been tuned and fixed. Item removals i.e negative item quantity
changes will apply to the soonest expiring item grant i.e positive item
quantity change. This is what is best for the user. Item grants can also
expire, and when they expire we obviate whatever is left of their
original capacity (meaning after all the removals that were applied to
it). Our ledger algo is applied via Bulldozer, so automatic
re-computation is handled when a new grant/ removal is inserted in the
middle of the existing ones.
### Things we got rid of
* No more automatic support for default products. You can use $0 plan
provisions to accomplish the same effect but it's manual
* Negative item quantity changes (i.e item removals) no longer can have
expiries

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Enhanced payment processing pipeline with improved data consistency
and state management.
* Advanced refund handling with comprehensive transaction tracking.
* Better tracking and management of customer item quantities and owned
products.
* Improved subscription lifecycle management including period-end
handling.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Fixed payment data integrity verification.
* Improved handling of edge cases in refund scenarios.
* **Chores**
* Updated cSpell configuration with additional words.
* Expanded developer documentation for linting workflows.

- Extended `CliAuthAttempt` with `anonRefreshToken` and a migration.
- CLI `POST /auth/cli` accepts optional `anon_refresh_token` (must be an
anonymous user's refresh token for the current project).
- `POST /auth/cli/complete` supports `mode` `check` (anonymous vs none),
`claim-anon-session` (issue tokens for the linked anonymous session),
and `complete` (bind the browser session's refresh token to the
attempt). Completing clears `anonRefreshToken` on the row. We do **not**
merge anonymous account data into the signed-in user (that behavior was
removed as a security risk; the anonymous user remains unchanged).
- Template CLI confirmation page, stack-cli optional
`STACK_CLI_ANON_REFRESH_TOKEN`, SDK/spec updates, and e2e coverage.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* CLI login supports attaching anonymous sessions and a multi-mode
confirm/claim/check flow; CLI tools now surface login codes and remove
anon token after use.
* Added interactive CLI auth demo page and a CLI simulator script.
* Client libraries: prompt flow accepts an optional anon token and a
promptLink(url, loginCode) callback.
* **Tests**
* Expanded end-to-end coverage for anonymous CLI sessions,
claim/complete/poll flows, upgrades, and error cases.
* **Documentation**
* Updated prompt CLI docs/spec to describe new options and callback
signature.

The gate delayed flushes until an access token resolved, but sendBatch
already resolves the session itself via _getSession() at send time, so
_lastKnownAccessToken was a redundant readiness check that caused
head-of-session events to be silently dropped on slow auth init and
suppressed uploads entirely when token fetch failed.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Refactor**
* Simplified analytics, session-replay, and event-tracking to stop
periodic background access-token refreshes; flushing now occurs based on
buffered data and lifecycle triggers.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Anonymous-user fallback tightened: anonymous identity is only applied
when explicitly requested as "anonymous-if-exists," preventing
unintended anonymous attribution.
* **Tests**
* Updated timing helper and removed token callback from test setups to
align with the new flush behavior.

`window.screen` and `window.history` are accessor properties on
`Window.prototype`, so `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(window,
X)?.value` returned undefined in real browsers, causing `start()` to
short-circuit and never capture or send any $page-view / $click events.
Read the globals directly instead; the jsdom-based regression test pins
the accessor-descriptor shape so this can't silently come back.

Cross-subdomain refresh cookies were not being deleted correctly because
the domain option was not passed to deleteCookie/deleteCookieClient.
This caused stale cookies to accumulate and auth state to persist across
subdomains after sign-out.
Also eagerly warms the trusted parent domain cache on app construction
to avoid a race condition where navigation after sign-in could prevent
the cross-subdomain cookie from being written.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Automatically recreates a missing cross-subdomain refresh cookie on
app startup in browser sessions when applicable.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Cookie deletions now correctly scope removals to the encoded parent
domain when applicable for both browser and server token-store flows.
* **Performance**
* Pre-warms a domain-resolution cache in browser token-store scenarios
to reduce authentication latency.
* **Tests**
* Added end-to-end tests validating custom refresh-cookie name
encoding/decoding, non-custom cookie handling, and eager cookie
recreation.

## Summary
- Fixes the default `redirectMethod` to check `typeof window !==
"undefined"` before defaulting to `"window"`
- In Node.js/CLI environments (where `window` is undefined), defaults to
`"none"` instead, preventing runtime errors
## Context
PR #1253 changed the default `redirectMethod` from `"none"` to
`"window"`, but this breaks non-browser environments (Node.js scripts,
CLI tools, backend services) that don't have a `window` object.
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify existing e2e tests pass (they explicitly set
`redirectMethod: "none"`)
- [ ] Verify browser usage still defaults to `"window"`
- [ ] Verify Node.js usage (e.g. `stack-cli`) defaults to `"none"`

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Fixed redirect behavior so client-side redirects continue in browser
environments, while non-browser or server-side executions now default to
no automatic redirect, avoiding unexpected navigation. Existing
platform-specific redirect handling remains unchanged.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Refactor**
* Adjusted internal default selection for redirect handling to improve
consistency; no change to user-facing behavior or settings.
* **Tests**
* Updated end-to-end tests and helpers to explicitly set redirect
behavior so test runs remain deterministic.

Other minor redirect URL changes:
- app.urls.* is now deprecated
- redirectToSignOut now sets and preserves after_auth_return_to
- OAuth sign-in after_auth_return_to now carries callback-return context
<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---
> [!NOTE]
> **High Risk**
> High risk because it changes OAuth authorization/token issuance,
redirect URL validation, and introduces a new cross-domain handoff
endpoint plus a DB migration linking authorization codes to refresh
tokens, which can affect login/session security and reliability.
>
> **Overview**
> Adds **hosted URL targets** for SDK `urls` resolution (new `{ type:
"hosted" }`/`{ type: "handler-component" }`/`{ type: "custom" }`
options), including env-driven hosted handler domain/template support
and fallback routing for unknown `/handler/*` paths.
>
> Implements a **cross-domain OAuth PKCE handoff**: a new
`/auth/oauth/cross-domain/authorize` endpoint issues one-time
authorization-code redirects bound to the caller’s session refresh
token; authorization codes now persist `grantedRefreshTokenId` and token
issuance reuses/validates ownership of that refresh token. Redirect
planning for `redirectTo*` (and OAuth callback handling) is refactored
into `redirect-page-urls.ts` to preserve `after_auth_return_to` and
cross-domain handoff params.
>
> Tightens redirect safety (e.g., `after_callback_redirect_url` is
validated/whitelisted), centralizes SDK env var reads via `envVars` with
lint enforcement, hardens `EventTracker` startup for partial DOM test
environments, and adds unit/E2E coverage plus a demo page for manual
cross-domain verification.

- Introduced a fallback mechanism for the private sign-up risk engine,
allowing for zero-score assessments when the primary engine is
unavailable.
- Updated Next.js configuration to support dynamic resolution of the
private risk engine, including aliasing for both Turbopack and Webpack.
- Added a new fallback implementation in
`private-sign-up-risk-engine-fallback.ts` to ensure consistent behavior
during builds.
- Adjusted `risk-scores.tsx` to utilize the new compiled engine,
improving error handling and logging for risk assessment failures.
This update improves the robustness of the sign-up risk scoring system
and enhances the development experience by streamlining engine
resolution.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Signup risk scoring now returns a neutral (zero) score when the
scoring engine is unavailable; scoring errors are logged and surfaced
consistently instead of being silently swallowed.
* Invalid engine shapes now fail loudly rather than falling back
silently.
* **Chores**
* Updated private engine reference and adjusted tests to reflect the new
loading/resolution behavior.
* Expanded Next.js output tracing to include private package files used
by API routes.

This PR implements unified AI endpoint and custom dashboards.
**Unified AI Endpoint**
We now use a single endpoint throughout the codebase that makes the call
to openrouter. Specifically, email drafts, email templates, email
themes, wysiwyg, cmd centre ai search and docs ai, all use this unified
ai endpoint. All the tools are defined in the backend, all the prompts
exist in the backend.
How to review this PR for unified ai endpoint:
This PR will be easier to review if we look at the different folders
that were affected.
under packages - We added streaming functionality, and made renaming
changes
under docs - there are three files that have changed
package.json - we updated the package (we were previously using a very
old version of the package)
route.ts - we changed the call from a direct call to openrouter to the
unified ai endpoint
ai-chat.tsx - because of updating the package, we had to make changes to
adapt to the latest versions of the package
under backend
route.ts - the main unified ai endpoint. this endpoint uses various
support files
forward.ts - this is the forward to production functionality
models.ts - consists of the models, and the rules for selecting those
models
prompts.ts - consists of the base prompt + specific system prompts
depending upon the usage
schema.ts
every single file under ai/tools folder - which as the name suggests,
consists of the implementations of the different tools that can be
provided to the llm
route-handlers - added support for streaming to SmartRoute and response
under dashboard
ai-search/route.ts - refactored the file to use unified ai endpoint
chat-adapters.ts - refactored the file to use unified ai endpoint and
created extra checks for the ai generated code
**Custom Dashboards**
We let the user write their query in english. We then use AI to create
dashboards that are interactive, live and savable. This PR includes a
new package called dashboard-ui-components. This package has components
that are used in the dashboard and more importantly, these components
are being imported from esm in the ai generated code for custom
dashboards. We also change the bar at the top for the products pages.
How to review this PR:
Review the new package (package/dashboard-ui-components), the setup and
the files inside it.
Review the schema changes in stack-shared/src
Review the changes in dashboard. The following changes have been made
Updated the design-components folder since we moved the dashboard
components to the new package
Updated imports for these components accordingly
Updated the title bar of the product pages
Created the files for custom dashboards under the dashboards folder and
components under commands/create-dashboard
Created a script under dashboard/scripts that generates the file with
type definitions that would go to the llm
Review the backend
Started using unified ai endpoint
