feat(appearance): customizable login and home backgrounds - #1392
Conversation
…pshot spec Control+A is a cursor movement on macOS rather than select-all, so the 'delete everything' step left the chip in place and the spec failed on every Mac while passing in CI. ControlOrMeta+A resolves to Control on Linux and Windows, so nothing changes there.
The full-screen background behind the login page and home screen was the
bundled home_background.png hard-coded in ten component stylesheets. It is now
driven by CSS custom properties, configurable by admins, and optionally
personalisable by users.
Backend
- New `appearance` config category: per-surface external URL and uploaded-asset
version token, scrim opacity, blur, and the two user-personalisation toggles.
- `appearance.service.ts` resolves each surface as uploaded asset -> external
URL -> bundled default. An unset login background inherits the home one, so a
single upload brands both. External URLs are validated so a stored value can
never break out of the CSS url() token the client builds from it.
- Public `GET /api/v1/appearance/config` and `/appearance/background/{surface}`
(unauthenticated by necessity: the login page resolves its background before
anyone signs in). Authenticated, self-only `/appearance/user-background` and
`/appearance/preference`. Admin `PUT/DELETE /api/v1/admin/appearance/
background/{surface}`.
- Single-slot image storage on both the filesystem and R2 adapters, namespaced
`branding` (two admin slots) and `backgrounds` (one per user). Uploads are
transcoded to WebP capped at 2560x1440 with metadata stripped; SVG is
rejected by magic-byte sniffing, which is also the only check available on
Workers where sharp is unavailable.
- `users.preferences` JSON column plus `hasBackground`, with a migration and
the usual idempotent schema patch. A user's background is removed with their
account.
Frontend
- `_app-background.scss` mixins replace the ten hard-coded urls; theme.scss
declares the defaults so the first paint, LOCAL mode and an unreachable
server all still look right. Mobile drops background-attachment: fixed.
- `BackgroundService` applies the resolved background to the root element with
a per-surface first-paint cache, and switches between the admin-only login
surface and the personalisable app surface as authentication resolves on the
home page. A user's preference only ever affects the app surface.
- Admin -> Appearance page: live previews, upload/remove per surface, external
URL, scrim and blur controls, and the personalisation toggles.
- Background picker in Account settings offering seven built-in presets (CSS
gradients, so no new binary assets) and, when the admin allows it, one
uploaded image per user. Renders nothing when personalisation is off.
- Service worker caches the immutable branding image so a branded login page
works offline; the config endpoint is deliberately left uncached.
Docs: new admin-guide/appearance page, .env.example entries, AGENTS.md notes.
Tests: 62 backend, 55 frontend unit, and 6 e2e (online admin -> login-page
chain, user presets/uploads/kill-switch; local-mode presets with no API calls).

…aning The Docker e2e job runs the compiled Bun binary, where sharp is unavailable, so uploads are stored in their original format and served as image/png rather than image/webp. Accept either. Also clear any leftover branding image at the start so a retried run does not inherit the previous attempt's upload.

http:. On an HTTPS deployment the browser blocks the mixed-content image request. The background then silently fails to render, and the admin receives no error at the point of configuration.If plain HTTP must stay supported for local deployments, keep it. Otherwise restrict the check to
https:so an unusable value is rejected when it is entered.♻️ Proposed change

In `@backend/src/routes/admin-appearance.routes.ts`:
- Around line 60-100: Add a request body-size limit for the
uploadBackgroundRoute flow before c.req.parseBody() consumes multipart data,
ensuring requests larger than the intended 12 MB maximum are rejected early.
Apply the limit at the route or server configuration level while preserving the
existing validation and upload behavior in adminAppearanceRoutes.openapi.
In `@backend/src/routes/appearance.routes.ts`:
- Around line 149-155: Update the branding image handler around the existing
response to require a query `v` token that matches the current surface token
before loading or returning bytes; return 404 when it is missing or mismatched.
Preserve the versioned response and its immutable caching headers only for valid
tokens.
- Around line 257-263: Add Hono bodyLimit middleware before the /user-background
route to cap the entire multipart request, including a bounded envelope
allowance beyond the 12 MB file limit, and ensure it returns 413 for oversized
bodies even when Content-Length is missing or inaccurate. Keep
imageService.validateBackground for exact file-size validation, and optionally
add an early Content-Length check without relying on it as the sole protection.
In `@backend/src/services/file-storage.service.ts`:
- Line 326: Update the SLOT_EXTENSIONS configuration used by getSlotImage,
hasSlotImage, and deleteSlotImage to include the bin extension, so octet-stream
fallback objects written with the .bin suffix can be discovered and removed.
In `@backend/test/appearance.service.test.ts`:
- Around line 55-60: Update the isSafeExternalImageUrl test cases so the
http://localhost:8080/bg.png URL is covered by the rejected cases rather than
the accepted cases, while retaining the valid HTTPS examples.
In `@frontend/e2e/online/appearance.spec.ts`:
- Around line 75-76: Update the appearance test setup around test.beforeEach to
capture the initial backend-backed appearance values, including background, URL,
and feature toggles, then restore them in an afterEach teardown even when the
test fails. Keep browser-context isolation unchanged and ensure cleanup runs for
every test.
In `@frontend/src/app/pages/admin/appearance/appearance.component.ts`:
- Line 200: Update both external background URL validation checks in the
appearance component to accept only non-empty URLs matching https://, replacing
the current http-or-https scheme pattern while preserving the existing
trimmed-value validation.
In `@frontend/src/app/pages/approval-pending/approval-pending.component.scss`:
- Line 21: Update the dark-theme pseudo-element rule in the approval-pending
styles to preserve the configured backdrop blur while applying the dark-theme
saturation adjustment, following the existing scrim-blur-append pattern used by
forgot-password. Keep the appBackground.scrim-blur setup and other theme styling
unchanged.

The top-level wrangler.toml.example (which CI copies for the Wrangler e2e job)
bound D1 and the Durable Object but no R2 bucket. Any server-side upload in
that environment therefore fell through to the filesystem storage adapter,
which cannot exist in the Workers runtime:
[unenv] fs.mkdir is not implemented yet!
at FileStorageService.saveSlotImage
It went unnoticed until now because the existing upload specs (project cover)
are local-first and never write to the server. `wrangler dev --local`
simulates R2 on disk, so binding STORAGE costs nothing and lets the suite
exercise the R2 adapter for real.
- Bound both multipart upload routes with Hono's bodyLimit (file cap plus a small envelope allowance) so an oversized request is rejected before parseBody() buffers it. - Serve a branding image only when the requested ?v= token matches the current one. The response is cached as immutable by browsers and the service worker, so an unversioned or stale URL must never be able to pin old bytes. - Require https for external background URLs on both sides; plain http would be blocked as mixed content on the https app anyway. The app's own asset paths are exempt, since a self-hosted or local server base may be http. - Refuse unsupported content types in slot storage instead of writing a .bin that reads and deletes could never find. - Compose the configured blur with the dark-mode desaturation on the setup and approval-pending pages, which still clobbered it. - e2e: restore the server-side appearance state in afterEach so a failed run cannot leak an uploaded image or a flipped toggle into other online specs.
Sonar flagged seven inputs without an id/label association: the hidden file pickers, the external-URL and scrim-opacity fields, and the blur slider. Each now carries an id and an aria-label, following the pattern used elsewhere in settings. Test ids are unchanged.
…ight The external-URL and scrim-opacity inputs save on blur but were disabled while isSaving() was true. Chrome does not dispatch blur when a focused element becomes disabled, so an edit made right after another save started was silently dropped — a race the slower wrangler e2e backend hit every time, and one a user tabbing quickly could hit too. Only the buttons stay disabled during a save now; the e2e step also waits for one save to land before starting the next.
- Background picker tiles are real radio inputs inside labels instead of buttons with role=radio, so they behave as a radio group for assistive tech and keyboards. Test ids stay on the labels. - Split BackgroundService.resolve() into resolvePersonal()/resolveAdmin() to bring its cognitive complexity under the limit. - Use startsWith over a regex for the https check; alias the repeated binary union in the R2 service; sharpen two spec assertions.

🚀 Frontend preview deployed for #1392 This is a frontend-only preview (no backend). It runs in local/offline mode; point it at an existing server at runtime through the setup flow if needed. On PR close or label removal, the cleanup workflow attempts to delete this branch's Pages deployments; note that Cloudflare keeps the latest deployment for a branch, so the preview URL may remain reachable after cleanup. |



Summary
Admins can now set the full-screen background behind the login page and the home screen from Admin → Appearance, and optionally let users personalise their own. Until now it was the bundled
home_background.png, hard-coded in ten component stylesheets.Two surfaces
Each resolves as uploaded image → external URL → bundled default. An unset login background inherits the home one, so a single upload brands both. Nobody is signed in when the login pages render, so a user preference can never apply there.

Under the hood
_app-background.scssmixins + CSS custom properties replace the ten hard-coded URLs;BackgroundServiceapplies the resolved background to the root element with a per-surface first-paint cache, so a branded login page doesn't flash the default (and a signed-out user's gradient doesn't flash on the login page).
