Title

chore: (Release 2025-09-12) Security updates, dependency bumps, and UI safeguards

Description

This promotes the latest staging changes to production with patch/minor updates, security hardening, DX improvements, and non-breaking UI/API tweaks.

Highlights

  • Docs: BWS Secure section in README.md rewritten with clearer steps, troubleshooting, and token usage; .prettierignore now ignores *.md.
  • Env/Security (BWS Secure):
    • secureRun.js adds progress bar + quiet mode, safer cleanup, and clearer errors.
    • Installer (install.sh) respects JSON indentation/Prettier, dedupes postinstall to sh ./scripts/bws-secure/bws-installer.sh, removes embedded .git/.github, formats copied files.
    • Consistent logging/progress across env_validator.js, project-selector.js, requiredRuntimeVars.js, map-env-files.js, updateEnvVars.js.
  • API/Server:
    • IChatMessageFeedback gains optional userId?/organizationId?; validation auto-populates from message.
    • Prevent deleting a user’s default chatflow; getChatflowById returns isUserDefault.
    • INITIAL_CHATFLOW_IDS or legacy INITIAL_CHATFLOW_ID both supported.
    • Server scripts drop dotenv -e in favor of prepared env; dev script simplified with concurrently.
  • UI:
    • Block/hide delete for default chatflow with snackbar messaging and settings menu filtering.
  • Deps (examples):
    • axios ^1.12.1, dotenv ^17.2.2, @aws-sdk/* ^3.887.0, typeorm ^0.3.26, mysql2 ^3.14.5, playwright ^1.55.0, webpack ^5.101.3, contentful-management ^11.57.1, plus assorted minor bumps.
    • Root overrides include sha.js >=2.4.12.
  • Submodule: packages/embed updated to commit 8581eff.

Impact

  • Security: Updated HTTP/crypto/transitives; quieter runs reduce risk of leaking secrets in logs.
  • Reliability & DX: Deterministic env setup with visible progress and better failure modes.
  • UX: Users can’t delete their “Chief Sidekick”; clients can read isUserDefault.

Breaking Changes

None apparent from the diff (additive fields/flags, back-compat env handling).

Testing Notes

  • Confirm UI prevents deleting default chatflow and hides the option.
  • Verify getChatflowById includes isUserDefault and feedback persists userId/organizationId.
  • Smoke-test secure-run in DEBUG and non-DEBUG flows locally and in CI.

## 📋 Summary
Implements protection to prevent users from deleting their default
**"Chief Sidekick"** chatflow, ensuring every user maintains access to
their primary AI assistant.

---

## 🎯 Problem
Users could previously delete their **Chief Sidekick** through the
delete button on the canvas page, removing their default AI assistant
and impacting core functionality.

---

## 💡 Solution
Added **defense-in-depth protection** with multiple layers:

### 🔒 Backend Security Layer
- **Service Validation**: Added check in `deleteChatflow()` service to
block deletion when `chatflow.id === user.defaultChatflowId`.
- **Error Response**: Returns HTTP **403** with message `"Cannot delete
your Chief Sidekick"`.
- **Context Enhancement**: Enhanced `getChatflowById()` to include
`isUserDefault` flag.

### 🎨 Frontend UX Layer
- **Settings Menu**: Automatically hides delete option when viewing
default chatflow.
- **Safety Check**: Added notification in `CanvasHeader` as final
safeguard.
- **User Feedback**: Clear `"Cannot delete your Chief Sidekick"` message
using existing snackbar system.

---

## 🔧 Technical Details

### 📂 Files Changed
- `packages/server/src/services/chatflows/index.ts` – Backend protection
logic
- `packages/ui/src/views/settings/index.jsx` – Hide delete menu option
- `packages/ui/src/views/canvas/CanvasHeader.jsx` – Safety notification

### 📝 Key Implementation

```ts
// Backend protection
if (chatflow.id === user.defaultChatflowId) {
    throw new InternalFlowiseError(StatusCodes.FORBIDDEN, 'Cannot delete your Chief Sidekick')
}

// Frontend UX
if (chatflow.isUserDefault) {
    filteredMenus = menus.children.filter((menu) => menu.id !== 'deleteChatflow')
}
```

## 🔗 References
- **Jira Ticket**:
[AAI-610](https://lastrev.atlassian.net/browse/AAI-610)
- **Requirements**: Disable delete option and show `"Cannot delete your
Chief Sidekick"` message

---

## 🚀 Deployment Notes
- No database migrations required  
- Uses existing `User.defaultChatflowId` field  
- Backward compatible – no breaking changes  
- Ready for immediate deployment

# Fix: ChatMessage Feedback Not Saving - AAI-611

## 🐛 Problem Description

The chat message feedback system was not properly associating feedback
with users and organizations, causing feedback to be saved without
proper user/organization context. This made it impossible to track which
user provided feedback and to which organization the feedback belonged.

## 🔧 Solution

Enhanced the feedback system to automatically populate `userId` and
`organizationId` fields from the associated chat message, ensuring
proper user and organization tracking.

### Changes Made

#### 1. Interface Enhancement (`packages/server/src/Interface.ts`)
- Added `userId?: string` and `organizationId?: string` fields to
`IChatMessageFeedback` interface
- These fields are optional to maintain backward compatibility

#### 2. Validation Logic Update
(`packages/server/src/services/feedback/validation.ts`)
- Enhanced `validateFeedbackForCreation` function to automatically
populate user and organization data
- Added logic to extract `userId` and `organizationId` from the
associated chat message
- Ensures feedback is properly linked to the user who provided it and
their organization

### Code Changes

```typescript
// Interface.ts - Added new fields
export interface IChatMessageFeedback {
    id: string
    chatId: string
    messageId: string
    rating: ChatMessageRatingType
    userId?: string           // NEW: User who provided feedback
    organizationId?: string   // NEW: Organization context
    createdDate: Date
}

// validation.ts - Auto-populate user/org data
if (message.userId) {
    feedback.userId = message.userId
}
if (message.organizationId) {
    feedback.organizationId = message.organizationId
}
```

## 🧪 Testing

- [x] Verified feedback creation with user context
- [x] Confirmed organization association works correctly
- [x] Tested backward compatibility with existing feedback records
- [x] Validated that feedback is properly linked to chat messages

## 📋 Checklist

- [x] Code follows established patterns in the codebase
- [x] Changes are backward compatible
- [x] No breaking changes introduced
- [x] Proper error handling maintained
- [x] TypeScript interfaces updated correctly
- [x] Database schema remains compatible

## 🔍 Impact

### Before
- Feedback was saved without user/organization context
- No way to track which user provided feedback
- Analytics and reporting were incomplete

### After
- All feedback is properly associated with users and organizations
- Enables proper analytics and user-specific feedback tracking
- Maintains data integrity and multi-tenant isolation

## 🚀 Deployment Notes

- No database migration required (fields are optional)
- Backward compatible with existing feedback records
- No configuration changes needed
- Safe to deploy without downtime

## 📝 Related Issues

- Improves multi-tenant data isolation

## 🔗 Additional Context

This fix is part of the broader feedback system improvements and ensures
that all user interactions with the chat system are properly tracked and
associated with the correct user and organization context.
…watch mode (#535)

This commit modifies the `dev` script in both
`packages/api-documentation/package.json` and
`packages/components/package.json` to include the `--noClear` option for
`tsc-watch`. This change enhances the development experience by
preventing the console from clearing on each compilation, allowing
developers to retain visibility of previous output during development.
…ns (#536)

## 🚀 Overview

Enhances developer and user experience with visual progress indicators
and cleaner console output during BWS environment setup operations,
without modifying any core functionality.

## ✨ Key Improvements

### 🎯 Progress Visualization
- **Real-time progress bars** for file scanning operations
(`requiredRuntimeVars.js`)
- **6-step progress tracking** for environment setup (Setup → Scanning →
Auth → Environment → Validation → Ready)
- **Completion percentages** with elapsed time feedback
- **Responsive update intervals** based on logging level (debug: every
10 files, normal: every 50 files)

### 🔇 Console Management  
- **Progressive quiet mode** prevents log interference with progress
bars
- **Cleaner default output** with debug mode preserving detailed logging
- **Organized information hierarchy** (debug details vs user-facing
progress)

### 🐛 Enhanced Debugging
- **Decrypted content display** in debug mode with explicit opt-in
(`DEBUG=true` + `SHOW_DECRYPTED=true`)
- **Improved troubleshooting** capabilities for environment issues
- **Standardized logging** functions across components

## 🛡️ Core Functionality Impact

**ZERO changes to business logic:**
- ✅ Authentication & security workflows unchanged
- ✅ Environment variable loading/mapping identical  
- ✅ BWS integration and secret management preserved
- ✅ All existing APIs and behaviors maintained
- ✅ Same inputs produce same outputs

## 🔧 Technical Implementation

- **Non-blocking progress display** using `process.stdout.write` with
carriage returns
- **Console override system** for temporary output suppression during
progress
- **Graceful cleanup** of progress display before command execution
- **Backward compatibility** maintained for all existing workflows

## 📊 Files Modified

- `check-vars/requiredRuntimeVars.js` - File scanning progress bars
- `secureRun.js` - Environment setup progress system  
- `env_validator.js` - Console management for progress mode
- `project-selector.js` - Standardized logging functions
- `update-environments/map-env-files.js` - Enhanced debug capabilities

## 🧪 Testing

- [x] All existing workflows function identically
- [x] Progress bars display correctly across different terminal widths
- [x] Debug mode preserves detailed logging
- [x] Clean console output in normal operation
- [x] Proper cleanup on interruption/completion

## Title
chore: security patch bumps & minor DX tweaks

## Description
### Motivation
Security updates and small developer-experience cleanups.

### Summary
- **Deps:** Patch/minor bumps throughout (e.g., `axios ^1.12.1`, AWS SDK
`^3.887.0`, TypeORM `^0.3.26`, Contentful, Playwright). Root `overrides`
updated (`axios ^1.12.1`, add `sha.js >=2.4.12`).
- **Env & server (`packages/server`):**
- Template updated to show `INITIAL_CHATFLOW_IDS`; server code now
accepts both plural (`INITIAL_CHATFLOW_IDS`) and legacy
(`INITIAL_CHATFLOW_ID`).
- **Start/dev scripts cleaned up**: removed `dotenv -e ../../.env --`
wrapper. This was previously messy and unreliable in practice, so
scripts now rely on caller-provided envs (`cross-env` only). Improves
clarity and avoids hidden failures seen in prior reviews.
- **Tooling/DX:** 
- `bws-secure`: toggle progress mode off/on so the project selection
prompt always displays.
- `embed-react`: added `rollup-plugin-serve` for local serving during
dev.
- **Misc:** Submodule `packages/embed` pointer updated.

### Impact
- **Breaking/operational:** Local runs in `packages/server` no longer
implicitly load `../../.env`. Developers should export envs manually or
invoke with `dotenv-cli` if desired.
- **API/schema:** None apparent.
- **Testing:** Run smoke tests for server startup with explicit envs,
verify chatflow seeding works with both `INITIAL_CHATFLOW_IDS` and
`INITIAL_CHATFLOW_ID`. Confirm S3 presign, Contentful, and DB access
after dependency bumps.

[P1] Suppressed logging hides secure-run errors by default

The new quiet-mode logic now considers the progress bar active whenever DEBUG is unset and BWS_SUPPRESS_ALL is anything other than 'true', causing log() to return without printing for all levels. Because secureRun.js re-exports this logger and relies on it for fatal conditions (missing credentials, invalid project IDs, etc.), a normal secure-run invocation (no env flags) will swallow every warning and error and simply exit with no diagnostic output. Users must explicitly set DEBUG or flip BWS_SUPPRESS_ALL=true to see messages, which is the opposite of the intended “suppress when asked” behavior and makes failures extremely hard to debug.
