scripts to improve clarity and align with user expectations. It involves
renaming and reorganizing categories to more accurately reflect their
functions beyond just IIS configurations.
This reorganization helps users find and utilize network security
scripts more efficiently and ensures that the categorization accurately
reflects the broader application of the scripts beyond server
configurations.
Changes:
- Merge network security enhancements under a single category.
- Rename categories for simplicity and increased technical accuracy.
- Flatten nested categories to streamline navigation and enhance
clarity.
- Update documentation to match the new category structures.
- Revise script recommendations to encourage broader use.
- Fix revert codes of some related scripts to reflect default OS
settings.
This commit addresses the issue where Windows GitHub runners experience
failures due to unstable Node.js releases, particularly version 20.13.0,
as detailed in nodejs/node#52884 and nodejs/node#52682.
The 'check-latest' input in the 'setup-node' GitHub Action forces
every job to verify and potentially install the latest Node.js version.
This input was originally introduced to reduce maintenance efforts to
keep CI/CD setup up-to-date with the latest Node version.
However, the necessity to always run the latest Node.js version is not
critical for the CI/CD setup. Additionally, it causes increased network
requests and may inadvertently introduce unstable Node.js versions.
This commit removes the 'check-latest' option to prevent the immediate
adoption of new, potentially unstable Node.js releases, thus simplifying
the CI/CD pipeline. This keeps CI/CD process is robust and predictable,
reducing the chances of unexpected disruptions in service deployment.
This commit addresses an issue in Chromium on Linux and Windows where
the appearance of a vertical scrollbar causes unexpected horizontal
layout shifts. This behavior typically occurs when the window is
resized, a card is opened or a script is selected, resulting in content
being pushed to the left.
The solution implemented involves using `scrollbar-gutter: stable` to
ensure space is always allocated for the scrollbar, thus preventing any
shift in the page layout. This fix primarily affects Chromium-based
browsers on Linux and Windows. It has no impact on Firefox on any
platform, or any browser on macOS (including Chromium). Because these
render the scrollbar as an overlay, and do not suffer from this issue.
Steps to reproduce the issue using Chromium browser on Linux/Windows:
1. Open the app with a height large enough where a vertical scrollbar is
not visible.
2. Resize the window to a height that triggers a vertical scrollbar.
3. Notice the layout shift as the body content moves to the right.
Changes:
- Add a CSS mixin to handle scrollbar gutter allocation with a fallback.
- Add support for modal dialog background lock to handle
`scrollbar-gutter: stable;` in calculations to avoid layout shift when
a modal is open.
- Add E2E test to avoid regression.
- Update DevToolkit to accommodate new scrollbar spacing.
This commit fixes a bug that causes tooltips to be slightly misaligned.
Tooltip positioning was incorrect during modal transitions due to their
initial movement, causing tooltips to align incorrectly at the start of
the animation rather than the end.
One way to solve this would be using `autoUpdate` from `floating-ui`
with `animationFrame: true`. However, this recalculates positions tens
of times per second, impacting performance. This is a monkey solution.
This commit adopts a more efficient approach by updating tooltip
positions only at the end of the transitions, which reduces calculations
and conserves resources.
Key changes:
- Addd transition end event listener for updating tooltip positions.
- Use throttling to eliminate excessive position recalculations.
Other supporting changes:
- Improve throttle function to support efficient recalculations of
positions:
- Add ability to optionally exclude the first execution (leading
call).
- Refactor to simplify it make it easier to follow and read.
- Fix a bug where initial calls were incorrectly throttled if
`dateNow()` returned `0`.
- Introduce and use a global hook for efficient DOM event management.
This greatily introduce safety, reuse and testability of event
listening.
This commit addresses the issue where scripts fail to execute on Windows
environments with usernames containing spaces. The problem stemmed from
PowerShell and cmd shell's handling of spaces in quoted arguments.
The solution involves encoding PowerShell commands before execution,
which mitigates the quoting issues previously causing script failures.
This approach is now integrated into the execution flow, ensuring that
commands are correctly handled irrespective of user names or other
variables that may include spaces.
Changes:
- Implement encoding for PowerShell commands to handle spaces in usernames
and other similar scenarios.
- Update script documentation URLs to reflect changes in directory
structure.
Fixes#351
- Correct incorrect attribute in `configure_vscode.py`.
- Introduce CI tests for early error detection in the script.
- Replace emojis with ASCII in CI logs to avoid Windows encoding issues.

- Remove unnecessary icon files for macOS (.icns) and Linux
(size-specific PNGs). Electron-builder can now auto-generate these
from a single `logo.png` starting from version 19.54.0, see:
- electron-userland/electron-builder#1682
- electron-userland/electron-builder#2533
- Retain `ico` generation with multiple sizes to fix pixelated/bad
looking icons on Windows, see:
- electron-userland/electron-builder#7328
- electron-userland/electron-builder#3867
- Replaced `svgexport`, `icon-gen`, and `electron-icon-builder`
dependencies with ImageMagick, addressing issues with outdated
dependencies and unreliable CI/CD builds.
- Move electron-builder build resources to

- Improve `electron-builder` configuration file by making it
importable/reusable without prebuilding the Electron application.
This commit updates the application startup behavior to prevent showing
a blank window until it's fully loaded on all platforms. This enhancement
improves the user experience by ensuring the UI only becomes visible
when it is ready to interact with.
This fix contributes to a smoother user experience by aligning the
window display timing with content readiness, thus avoiding the brief
display of an empty screen.
Changes:
- Set window to initially hide until fully loaded using the
`ready-to-show` event.
- Show the window, focus on it and bring it front once it is loaded.
Windows requires additional logic to put Window to front, see
electron/electron#2867.
- Parametrize the behavior of opening developer tools for easier
configuration during testing.
This commit modifies the blocking behavior of `r.bing.com` due to its
extensive use across multiple Windows features, including Copilot and
Maps. Previously, included in the 'Cortana and Live Tiles' block list,
this host was causing issues for Copilot functionalites, as noted in
issue #329. By excluding `r.bing.com` from block list, this update aims
to prevent unintended disruptions without compromising the privacy gains
of other scripts.
Changes include:
- Exclude `r.bing.com` from the "Cortana and Live Tiles" block list.
- Improve documentation to clarify the role and exclusions.
- Improve documentation with consistent header for blocked hosts.

This commit improves the management of script execution process by
enhancing the way terminal commands are handled, paving the way for
easier future modifications and providing clearer feedback to users when
scripts are cancelled.
Previously, the UI displayed a generic error message which could lead to
confusion if the user intentionally cancelled the script execution. Now,
a specific error dialog will appear, improving the user experience by
accurately reflecting the action taken by the user.
This change affects code execution on Linux where closing GNOME terminal
returns exit code `137` which is then treated by script cancellation by
privacy.sexy to show the accurate error dialog. It does not affect macOS
and Windows as curret commands result in success (`0`) exit code on
cancellation.
Additionally, this update encapsulates OS-specific logic into dedicated
classes, promoting better separation of concerns and increasing the
modularity of the codebase. This makes it simpler to maintain and extend
the application.
Key changes:
- Display a specific error message for script cancellations.

intention is to prevent such comments from being merged into the main
branch, promoting cleaner and more maintainable code.
The script uses a specific pattern to avoid IDE detection and
misclassification of the script line as a TODO item itself. If any TODO
comments are found, the script exists with a non-zero status,
indicating an issue that must be addressed before proceeding.

mitigation of these issues.
This reverts 7f7a84e3ba.
- Incorporate feedback from an official Microsoft statement
(MicrosoftDocs/intellicode#510), acknowledging the discontinuation of
certain IntelliCode backend services. This renders the remote analysis
feature obsolete.
- Revise the documentation to make it more accessible and easier to
understand.
On very small screens (that can be tested with iPhone SE size), the
`All` button overflows. This makes E2E tests fail with width like
`320px`.
This commit fixes the issue by removing `whitespace: no-break` but
employing simpler and self-documenting layout.
Key changes:
- Simplify scripts menu layout instead of relying on
`white-space: nowrap`.
- Increase gap when script menu items starts wrapping to avoid
"squeezed" look.
Other supporting changes:
- Simplify gaps by using `column-gap` and `row-gap` properties rather
than calculating margins.
- Use class-based styling instead of using `id`.
- Use more clear, consistent CSS class naming with prefixes in
`TheScriptsMenu` to improve maintainability.
- Introduce `center-middle-flex-item` mixin for better documenting the
code.
- Migrate feature disablement to PowerShell for clarity and robustness.

2.0 downgrade attacks, enhancing consistency and maintainability.
- Add code comments in the generated disable/enable feature scripts,
improving understandability for users.
- Add the ability to revert to default OS behavior for feature
enablement/disablement to align with OS defaults.
This commit fixes an UI inconsitency where the arrow did not animate in
sync with with the card's expansion panel during the expansion process.
The solution implemented involves the use of actual DOM element for the
arrow, rather than a pseude-element, allowing for unified animation with
the expansion panel.
Changes:
- Extraction of the expansion arrow into its own Vue component,
`CardExpansionArrow`, improving maintainability and separation of
concerns.
- Transition to using a real DOM element for the expansion arrow, moving
away from the `&:before` pseudo-class. This leads to simpler codebase,
better separation of concerns and closer alignment with HTML
semantics.
- Consolidate secret key improvement scripts into a single category.
- Simplify script names to improve user understanding.
- Expand and refine documentation, adding cautionary notes for clarity
and helping users make informed decisions (addresses issues #57, #131,
#175, #183).
- Adjust recommendation levels for scripts to 'Standard' to reflect
their adoption in modern Windows and align with security standards:
- Set Diffie-Hellman key exchange minimum to 2048 bits, matching
modern Windows defaults
- Align RSA key size with Microsoft's upcoming deprecation of 1024-bit
keys.
- Improve the revert process by suppressing false error messages using
`2>nul` in `reg delete` commands.
- Introduce a unified approach to adjust key sizes in key exchange
algorithms with `RequireMinimumKeySize` function.
- Modify the Diffie-Hellman key exchange to a 2048-bit minimum instead
of 4096 bits to balance security with broader software compatibility.
This attempts to reduce side-effects on third-party software as
reported in #57, #131, #183).
- Replace hexadecimal values with decimal equivalents in registry edits
to facilitate better maintainability and readability.
This commit addresses false negative failures in Cypress due to a known
Chrome issue.
The included change prevents Cypress tests from failing because of the
non-critical `ResizeObserver loop limit exceeded` error, which occurs
inconsistently during CI/CD runs with GitHub runners. This error has
been documented in CHrome and does not affect actual browser usage or
local test runs. This commit implements a widely recommended workaround
that ignores this specific error during test execution.
Error from Cypress:
```
Error: The following error originated from your application code, not from Cypress.
> ResizeObserver loop limit exceeded
```
The solution follows community-driven advice and past discussions on
handling this benign exception within test scenarios. It contributes to
more reliable CI/CD results by filtering out irrelevant error noise.
For detailed background and discussion on this error, see:

This commit fixes an issue where the card's header would improperly
expand to full height during card collapse, leading to a less smooth
user experience. Previously, this was caused by the indiscriminate use
of `transition: all` in the `.card__expander`, which included unwanted
properties in the transition during collapse, such as height. This is
solved by using Vue transitions to apply transition only during
expansion.
Changes:
- Introduce a new Vue component, `CardExpandAnimation`:
- Centralizes the animation process, applying the same animation to
both the card and its arrow for consistency.
- Resolves the glitch by adjusting classes exclusively during the
enter animation phase, avoiding unintended side effects during leave
animation phase.
- Adopts a Vue-idiomatic approach for transition management, improving
code readability and maintainability.
- Improves separation of concerns by isolating animation logic from
the component's core functionality, facilitating easier updates or
replacements.
- Remove unnecessary transitions to enhance code simplicity and
performance:
- Remove `transition: all` on `.card__expander`, which was identified
as the cause of the issue.
- Remove unnecessary `transition: all` on `.card`.
- Adjust transitions to specifically target and affect the transform
property (instead of `all`) to optimize animation behavior and
eliminate potential side-effects.
These changes not only fix the issue at hand but also contribute to a
more maintainable and performant codebase by clarifying animation logic
and reducing unnecessary CSS transitions.
This commit resolves an issue causing horizontal UI layout shift when a
script is selected for the first time, and when all selected scripts are
deselected. This issue was only observed on Chromium-based browsers on
Linux environment when using macOS and Windows script collections.
The underlying cause was identified as the use of percentage-based
values for CSS margin and padding. To resolve this issue, these values
were updated to absolute measurements. This adjustment maintains layout
consistency across user interactions without compromising the
responsiveness.
The underlying cause was identified as the use of percentage-based values
for CSS margin and padding within certain elements. To resolve this issue,
these values were updated to absolute measurements. This adjustment
maintains layout consistency across user interactions without compromising
the responsiveness of the application.
Additionally, an end-to-end (E2E) test has been introduced to monitor
for future regressions of this layout shift bug, ensuring that the fix
remains effective over subsequent updates.
This commit addresses a UI issue observed on small screens, particularly
during text searches involving nested nodes.
Implementing word-breaking for the improved display of script/category
titles and their documentation prevents content overflow. This change
ensures that both the header (including the node title and documentation
icon) and the documentation text stay fully visible without overflowing.
Additionally, this fix replaces ID-based styling (`#node`) with
class-based styling, using clear, descriptive names. This enhances CSS
and JavaScript reusability and maintainability.
Key changes:
- Run URL checks more frequently on every change.
- Introduce environment variable to randomly select and limit URLs
tested, this way the tests will provide quicker feedback on code
changes.
Other supporting changes:
- Log more information about test before running the test to enable
easier troubleshooting.
- Move shuffle function for arrays for reusability and missing tests.

Node 20.x defaults to the new `autoSelectFamily`, improving network
connection reliability in GitHub runners lacking full IPv6 support.
Details:
- nodejs/node#46790
This commit introduces the `force-ipv4` GitHub action to address
connectivity issues caused by the lack of IPv6 support in GitHub
runners. Details:
- actions/runner#3138
- actions/runner-images#668
This change solves connection problems when Node's `fetch` API fails due
to `UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT` errors. Details:
- actions/runner-images#9540
- actions/runner#3213
This action disables IPv6 at the system level, ensuring all outging
requests use IPv4. Resolving connectivity issues when running external
URL checks and Docker build checks.

responses. By adjusting the retry logic, it aims to reduce build
failures caused by delayed Docker service readiness.
The enhancements increase the robustness and clarity of the build
process, especially for macOS, while maintaining functionality across
other operating systems.
Key changes:
- Increase max retries for the server check script from 30 to 90 for
macOS, accommodating slower startup times.
- Refine retry logic to prevent unnecessary retries after receiving a
definitive HTTP status code, enabling faster feedback and efficient
failure handling.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce a `--max-retries` parameter in the server status check
script for dynamic adjustment based on the operating system.
- Add emojis to log messages to enhance the visibility of request
attempts in logs.

This commit fixes an unintended bottom gap in the card expansional
panel, observed in the Windows script collection's "Advanced settings".
This issue arrives from a `min-height` CSS property that no longer
aligns with the current method for achieving balanced padding. It's only
visible when an action (a card) contains too few scripts (nodes).

replacing the outdated ones.
This commit addresses a regression from refactoring in #215.
It restores YAML escape mechanism with quoting around 'manual' in the
`powerShellValue` attribute to ensure PowerShell interprets the value
correctly.
This change is documented with a comment to avoid future omissions.
This reverts commit c27172c32e.
This commit fixes inconsistent tooltip styling by setting the font
explicitly on the tooltip container to ensure uniform tooltip fonts.
As tooltip is rendered inside the parent elements' DOM, styling parent
element's font was also styling the font's font due to style
propogation, but setting fonts explicitly on tooltip ensure this does
not happen.
This commit bumps Electron and related dependencies to their latest
versions to leverage native ESM support. It adjusts build configuration
to use native ESM support instead of relying on CommonJS bundling.

- Improve desktop runtime error checks' assertion message for better
clarity.
This commit improves the safety mechanisms in the script for deleting
OneDrive user data on Windows.
Key changes:
- System Integrity Protection: The script now checks if user shell
folders point to the OneDrive directory. If they do, it halts the
deletion and provides guidance to the user. This ensures system
stability is not compromised.
- Data Loss Prevention: The script will no longer delete files or
non-empty folders. This precaution helps to avoid unintended data
loss.
Other supporting changes:
- This script now covers OneDrive folders for multi-account users.
- Separation of concerns: The 'Remove OneDrive residual files' script is
is divided into two distinct scripts for better maintainability and
documentation clarity:
1. 'Remove OneDrive user data and synced folders'
2. 'Remove OneDrive installation files and cache'
- Fix an issue with the Windows 11 check in the 'Disable automatic
OneDrive installation' revert script.

- Improve formatting and context for output messages.
- Fix the defaulting options for redirects and cookie handling.
- Update the user agent pool to modern browsers and platforms.
- Add support for randomizing TLS fingerprint to mimic various clients
better, improving the effectiveness of checks. However, this is not
fully supported by Node.js's HTTP client; see nodejs/undici#1983 for
more details.
- Use `AbortSignal` instead of `AbortController` as more modern and
simpler way to handle timeouts.

blocks.
- Fix singleton test definition in `DependencyProvider.spec.ts`.
This commit introduces a more structured approach to starting, stopping,
and managing Windows services. By abstracting service control operations
into dedicated functions (`StopService`, `StartService`, etc.), it
improves code readability and facilitates future maintenance.
The modifications include:
- Creation of files (`%APPDIR%`\privacy.sexy-<serviceName>`) for
managing service restart states. This approach simplifies the process
of determining whether a service was running before the script
executed and should therefore be restarted afterward.
- Using `DeleteFiles` and `ClearDirectoryContents` functions to safely
remove files without affecting service operations. This is enabled by
using shared funtions for service operations.
This commit updates the `vite` dependency to the latest version (5.1.X)
and makes necessary adjustments to accommodate deprecations and new
features introduced in Vite 5.1.X.

messages for unknown exceptions during the extension installation process.
This ensures that users are better informed about the nature of the error,
facilitating easier troubleshooting.
This commit ensures that the tooltip maintains its `z-index` during both
visibility and invisibility transitions. This prevents the tooltip from
falling behind other elements during its fade-in and fade-out
animations, providing smoother and more visually consistent user
experience.
By explicitly setting the shell to bash in GitHub actions workflow, this
commit fixes the failure of automated releases on Windows. Previously,
the default PowerShell environment on Windows runners led to syntax
incompatibilities, causing the release process to fail with an error
when executing git checkout commands.

Now, desktop app users will see a detailed error message with
guidance on next steps if script saving or execution fails due
to antivirus removal.
Key changes:
- Implement a check to detect failure in file writing,
including reading the written file back. This method effectively
detects antivirus interventions, as the read operation triggers
an antivirus scan, leading to file deletion by the antivirus.
- Introduce a specific error message for scenarios where an
antivirus intervention is detected.
- Add Windows instruction dialog when saving scripts for Windows.
- Fix incorrect macOS download URL given for Linux instructions.
- Refactor UI rendering, eleminating the use of `v-html` and JavaScript

- Add `Blob` polyfill in tests to compensate for the missing
`blob.text()` function in `jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2555).
Improve environment detection logic:
- Treat test environment as browser environments to correctly activate
features based on the environment. This resolves issues where the
environment is misidentified as desktop, but Electron preloader APIs
are missing.
- Rename `isDesktop` environment identification variable to
`isRunningAsDesktopApplication` for better clarity and to avoid
confusion with desktop environments in web/browser/test environments.
- Simplify `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to consistently detect
non-desktop application environments.
- Improve environment detection for Electron main process
(electron/electron#2288).
This commit adds missing extension apps seen since Windows 11 22H2 and
improves documentation scripts and category of extension app removal.
Addition of new extension apps found since Windows 11 22H2:
- HEVC Video Extensions (`Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension`)
- Raw Image Extension (`Microsoft.RawImageExtension`)
Documentation improvements:
- Fix links that are not correctly archived.
- Add cautionary notes for all extension app removal scripts.
- Add security implications associated with these extensions.
This commit addresses an issue in the privacy.sexy desktop application
where scripts executed as administrator on Windows were running in the
background. This was observed in environments like Windows Pro VMs on
Azure, where operations typically run with administrative privileges.
Previously, the application used the `"$path"` shell command to execute
scripts. This mechanism failed to activate the logic for requesting
admin privileges if the app itself was running as an administrator.
To resolve this, the script execution process has been modified to
explicitly ask for administrator privileges using the `VerbAs` method.
This ensures that the script always runs in a new `cmd.exe` window,
enhancing visibility and user interaction.
Other supporting changes:
- Rename the generated script file from `run-{timestamp}-{extension}` er
to `{timestamp}-privacy-script-{extension}` for clearer identification
and better file sorting.
- Refactor `ScriptFileCreator` to parameterize file extension and
script name.
- Rename `OsTimestampedFilenameGenerator` to
`TimestampedFilenameGenerator` to better reflect its new and more
scoped functionality after refactoring mentioned abvoe.
- Remove `setAppName()` due to ineffective behavior in Windows.
- Update `SECURITY.md` to highlight that the app doesn't require admin
rights for standard operations.
- Add `.editorconfig` settings for PowerShell scripts.
- Add a integration test for script execution logic. Improve environment
detection for more reliable test execution.

- Increase robustness in global cursor changes by preserving and
restoring previous cursor style to prevent potential side-effects.
- Use Vue 3.2 feature for defining cursor CSS style in `<style>`
section.
- Expand unit test coverage for horizontal slider, use MouseEvent and
type cast it to PointerEvent as MouseEvent is not yet supported by
`jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2527).
This commit improves the VSCode configuration script for Linux-based
development environments.
It fixes a script execution failure in the deskto version during
development when using VSCode installed via Snap or Flatpak. It resolves
the following error encountered during script execution in development
mode (`npm run electron:dev`):
`symbol lookup error: /snap/core20/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0:
undefined symbol: __libc_pthread_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE`
Changes:
- Add a setting in VSCode configuration script to workaround script
execution errors in sandboxed VSCode installations on Linux (see
see microsoft/vscode#179274).
- Migrate the configuration script to Python for cross-platform
compatibility and simplicity.
- Refactor the script for better extensibility.
- Automate installation of recommended VSCode extensions.
- Recommend VSCode Pylint extension for Python linting.
- Standardize Python development settings in `.editorconfig`.
This commit fixes an issue seen on certain Windows environments (Windows
10 22H2 and 11 23H2 Pro Azure VMs) where scripts were being deleted
during execution due to temporary directory usage. To resolve this,
scripts are now stored in a persistent directory, enhancing reliability
for long-running scripts and improving auditability along with
troubleshooting.
Key changes:
- Move script execution logic to the `main` process from `preloader` to
utilize Electron's `app.getPath`.
- Improve runtime environment detection for non-browser environments to
allow its usage in Electron main process.
- Introduce a secure module to expose IPC channels from the main process
to the renderer via the preloader process.
Supporting refactorings include:
- Simplify `CodeRunner` interface by removing the `tempScriptFolderName`
parameter.
- Rename `NodeSystemOperations` to `NodeElectronSystemOperations` as it
now wraps electron APIs too, and convert it to class for simplicity.
- Rename `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` to `ScriptFileCodeRunner` to reflect
its new functinoality.
- Rename `SystemOperations` folder to `System` for simplicity.
- Rename `HostRuntimeEnvironment` to `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` for
clarity.
- Refactor main Electron process configuration to align with latest
Electron documentation/recommendations.
- Refactor unit tests `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to simplify singleton
workaround.
- Use alias imports like `electron/main` and `electron/common` for
better clarity.
- Bump all ESLint dependencies related to TypeScript to their latest
version. This was made possible by the resolution of compatibility
issues with `@vue/eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript`.
See vuejs/eslint-config-airbnb#58 for details.
- Refactor code to comply with the latest linting configuration.
- Improve documentation in the ESLint configuration file to better
describe the functionality and limitations of
`@vue/typescript/recommended`.
See vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#67 for details.
- Document functionality and limitation of `@vue/typescript/recommended`
more clearly in ESLint configuration file.
This commit addresses an issue where macOS was incorrectly identified as
iPadOS in Chromium-based browsers. The root cause was related to touch
support detection being inaccurately triggered on Chromium browsers,
leading to misidentification.
The bug caused two issues:
1. Desktop version: Script execution on macOS did not work as the
desktop app wrongly assumed that it was running on iPadOS.
2. Web and desktop version: The UI didn't default to macOS, presuming an
iPadOS environment.
This bug was exclusive to Chromium browsers on macOS. Firefox and Safari
didn't exhibit this behavior, as they handle touch event browser API
as differently and initially expected.
Key changes:
- Improve touch support detection to accurately differentiate between
macOS and iPadOS by removing an identification method used that is not
reliable for Chromium-based browsers.
- Update user agent detection to correctly identify Electron-based
applications as macOS even without needing the information from the
preloader context.
This commit improves the handling of paths with spaces or special
characters during script execution in the desktop application.
Key improvements:
- Paths are now quoted for macOS/Linux, addressing issues with
whitespace or single quotes.
- Windows paths are enclosed in double quotes to handle special
characters.
Other supporting changes:
- Add more documentation for terminal execution commands.
- Refactor terminal script file execution into a dedicated file for
improved separation of concerns.
- Refactor naming of `RuntimeEnvironment` to align with naming
conventions (no interface with I prefix) and for clarity.
- Refactor `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` to simplify it by removing the `os`
parameter and handling OS-specific logic within the filename generator
instead.
- Refactor `fileName` to `filename` for consistency.
This commit improves documentation for removal of Windows store apps
along with adding related research.
1. Improve Store app removal documentation:
The documentation for scripts that remove Store apps has been
enhanced. It now includes information on the default preinstallation
status of these apps across various Windows versions. This update
covers Windows 10 (from version 19H2 to 23H2) and Windows 11 (from
version 21H2 to 23H2), enabling users to identify potentially
preinstalled apps that might affect privacy.
2. Add research documentation:
A detailed research documentation on Windows Store apps has been
introduced for Windows 10 (versions 1909 to 22H2) and Windows 11
(versions 21H2 to 23H2). This includes lists of preinstalled Store
apps, complete with package information. This research aids in
understanding which default apps are present in different Windows
versions and their status regarding removal. The documentation also
includes the PowerShell script used for this research, serving as a
resource for future updates and expansion.
Improve script execution in the desktop app by introducing timestamped
filenames and detailed logging. These changes aim to facilitate easier
debugging, auditing and overall better user experience.
Key changes:
- Add timestamps in filenames for temporary files to aid in
troubleshooting and auditing.
- Add application logging throughout the script execution process to
enhance troubleshooting capabilities.
Other supporting changes:
- Refactor `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` with subfunctions for improved
readability, maintenance, reusability and extensibility.
- Refactor unit tests for `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` for improved
granularity and simplicity.
- Create centralized definition of supported operating systems by
privacy.sexy to ensure robust and consistent test case creation.
- Simplify the `runCode` method by removing the file extension
parameter; now handled internally by `FileNameGenerator`.
This commit addresses the language dependency of the `takeown /d y`
command in non-English Windows versions by using the `choice` utility.
This utility dynamically determines the equivalent of 'yes' in the
current system language, resolving issues encountered in the delete
script.
Other solution options such as enumerating language equivalents,
adjusting script culture settings, using side-effects of the `copy`
command, and parsing `takeown` help documentation proved either
impractical or unreliable.
The `choice` command has been successfully tested in both English and
German environments, ensuring reliable execution across various locales.
This change replaces the previous `takeown` usage in the script,
its reliability across diverse Windows locales.
This commit fixes layout shifts experienced in macOS Safari when
hovering over top menu items. Instead of making text bold — which was
causing layout shifts — the hover effect now changes the text color.
This ensures a consistent UI across different browsers and platforms.
Additionally, this commit fixes the styling of the privacy button
located in the bottom right corner. Previously styled as an `<a>`
element, it is now correctly represented as a `<button>`.
Furthermore, the commit enhances HTML conformity and accessibility by
correctly using `<button>` and `<a>` tags instead of relying on click
interactions on `<span>` elements.
This commit introduces `FlatButton` Vue component and a new
`flat-button` mixin. These centralize button usage and link styles,
aligning the hover/touch reactions of buttons across the application,
thereby creating a more consistent user interface.
- Bump Node.js to version 18. This change is necessary as Node.js v16
will reach end-of-life on 2023-09-11. It also ensure compatibility
with dependencies requiring minimum of Node.js v18, such as `vite`,
`@vitejs`plugin-legacy` and `icon-gen`.
- Bump `setup-node` action to v4.
- Recommend using the `nvm` tool for managing Node.js versions in the
documentation.
- Update documentation to point to code reference for required Node.js
version. This removes duplication of information, and keeps the code
as single source of truth for required Node.js version.
- Refactor code to adopt the `node:` protocol for Node API imports as
per Node.js 18 standards. This change addresses ambiguities and aligns
with Node.js best practices (nodejs/node#38343). Currently, there is
no ESLint rule to enforce this protocol, as noted in
import-js/eslint-plugin-import#2717.
- Replace `cross-fetch` dependency with the native Node.js fetch API
introduced in Node.js 18. Adjust type casting for async iterable read
streams to align with the latest Node.js APIs, based on discussions in
DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#65542.
- Improve `CONTRIBUTING.md` with clearer, more structured guidelines.
- Introduce a centralized 'Script Guidelines' document for consistent
reference.
- Remove repetitive information across documents, providing links to the
primary source.
- Simplify language across related documentation for better
accessibility and readability.
This commit fixes a UI bug where the circle icon of the revertbutton was
unresponsive to clicks. The solution involves replacing the
pseudo-element (`:before`) with an actual HTML element, enabling direct
event binding.
Additional improvements include:
- Removal of redundant `z-index` properties to simplify click event
handling and reduce complexity.
- Programmatic toggle of `isChecked` on click, providing more controlled
and explicit behavior and avoiding issues with native checkbox
behavior, especially when overlaid on a pseudo-element.
This commit enhances application security against potential attacks by
isolating dependencies that access the host system (like file
operations) from the renderer process. It narrows the exposed
functionality to script execution only, adding an extra security layer.
The changes allow secure and scalable API exposure, preparing for future
functionalities such as desktop notifications for script errors (#264),
improved script execution handling (#296), and creating restore points
(#50) in a secure and repeatable way.
Changes include:
- Inject `CodeRunner` into Vue components via dependency injection.
- Move `CodeRunner` to the application layer as an abstraction for
better domain-driven design alignment.
- Refactor `SystemOperations` and related interfaces, removing the `I`
prefix.
- Update architecture documentation for clarity.
- Update return types in `NodeSystemOperations` to match the Node APIs.
- Improve `WindowVariablesProvider` integration tests for better error
context.
- Centralize type checks with common functions like `isArray` and
`isNumber`.
- Change `CodeRunner` to use `os` parameter, ensuring correct window
variable injection.
- Streamline API exposure to the renderer process:
- Automatically bind function contexts to prevent loss of original
context.
- Implement a way to create facades (wrapper/proxy objects) for
increased security.
Relax Content Security Policy (CSP) to ensure essential functionality
of Vue, Ace and Vite legacy along with functioning developer experience
with macOS Safari.
This commit adds Windows update postponement techniques.
This provides users more control over the update process, aiming to
prevent automatic re-enabling of updates without user consent.
These scripts are tested and validated on Windows 10 (22H2 onwards) and
Windows 11 (22H3 onwards), introducing registry modifications for
sustained pause durations.
This commit resolves issues with the touch highlight behavior on tree
nodes in touch-enabled Chromium browsers (such as Google Chrome).
The fix addresses two issues:
1. Dual color transition issue during tapping actions on tree nodes.
2. Not highlighting full visible width of the node on keyboard focus.
Other changes include:
- Create `InteractableNode.vue` to centralize click styling and logic.
- Remove redundant click/hover/touch styling from `LeafTreeNode.vue` and
`HierarchicalTreeNode.vue`.
This commit resolves a rendering bug in the tree view component.
Previously, updating the tree collection prior to node updates led to
rendering errors due to the presence of non-existent nodes in the new
collection.
Changes:
- Implement manual control over the rendering process in tree view. This
includes clearing the rendering queue and currently rendered nodes
before updates, aligning the rendering process with the updated
collection.
- Add Cypress E2E tests to test switching between all operating systems
and script views, ensuring no uncaught errors and preventing
regression.
- Replace hardcoded operating system lists in the download URL list view
with a unified `getSupportedOsList()` method from the application,
reducing duplication and simplifying future updates.
- Rename `initial-nodes` to `nodes` in `TreeView.vue` to reflect their
mutable nature.
- Centralize the function for getting operating system names into
`OperatingSystemNames.ts`, improving reusability in E2E tests.
This commit improves disabling of Application Experience component by
improving the categorization, documentation, existing scripts and adding
new scripts. It renames the scripts to be more user-friendly but still
technically accurate.

understand.
- Improve existing documentation and add more documentation.
- Add new scripts for:
- 'Disable "MareBackup" task'
- 'Disable "SdbinstMergeDbTask" task'
- 'Disable "PcaPatchDbTask" task'
- Improve `CompatTelRunner.exe` disabling to soft-delete the file.
This commit addresses issues with the tree view not fully utilizing the
available width (appearing squeezed on the left) on bigger screens, and
inconsistent padding during searches.
The changes centralize padding and script tree rendering logic to
enforce consistency and prevent regression.
Changes:
- Fix tree view width utilization.
- Refactor SCSS variables for better IDE support.
- Unify padding and tree background color logic for consistent padding
and coloring around the tree component.
- Fix no padding around the tree in tree view.
- Centralize color SCSS variable for script background for consistent
application theming.
This commit resolves the issue with the `:active` pseudo-class not
activating in mobile Safari on iOS devices. It introduces a workaround
specifically for mobile Safari on iOS/iPadOS to enable the `:active`
pseudo-class. This ensures a consistent and responsive user interface
in response to touch states on mobile Safari.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce new test utility functions such as `createWindowEventSpies`
and `formatAssertionMessage` to improve code reusability and
maintainability.
- Improve browser detection:
- Add detection for iPadOS and Windows 10 Mobile.
- Add touch support detection to correctly determine iPadOS vs macOS.
- Fix misidentification of some Windows 10 Mobile platforms as Windows
Phone.
- Improve test coverage and refactor tests.
This commit addresses three main issues related to tooltips on devices
with smaller screens:
1. Fix tooltip overflow: On mobile devices, tooltips associated with
script selection options (None, Standard, Strict, All) were
overflowing due to inherited `white-space: nowrap` styling. This
styling caused tooltips to render beyond screen limits. The fix
involves applying `white-space: initial` to the tooltip overlay,
preventing this style propagation and resolving the overflow issue.
2. Corrects tooltip arrow placement: Previously, when tooltips shifted
from their default top position to the bottom on smaller screens,
their arrows did not reposition accordingly. This issue was caused by
using an incorrect reference for tooltip placement calculation. By
updating the reference used to the one from `useFloating` function,
the tooltip arrow now correctly aligns with the adjusted position.
3. Uniform margin handling: Enhances the margin settings around tooltips
to maintain a consistent gap between the tooltip and the document
edges, visible particularly on smaller screens.
Additionaly, the `DevToolkit` component has been improved for easier
testing. It is now non-interactable (except for its buttons) to prevent
it from getting in the way when testing on smaller screens. A new close
button has been added, allowing developers/testers to completely hide
the DevToolkit if desired.
This commit strengthens user control over the Windows Update Medic
Service (`WaaSMedicSvc`) and related components. These changes aim to
provide users with more control over Windows updates and telemetry data
shared with Microsoft, addressing privacy concerns.

Medic Service, thereby allowing users to maintain their desired update
settings.
- Improving documentation with cautionary notes to guide users through
poential impacts of these changes on system stability and update
integrity.
- Including rationale behind the exclusion of `sedsvc`.
- Better documentation and output messages of `DisableService` function.
Recommending the script that removes "Xbox Identity Provider" app
(`Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider`) at the "Standard" level has led to
unforeseen consequences for Windows users using Xbox sign-in.
This commit introduces additional documentation and reduces the
recommendation level to mitigate these issues.
- Change recommendation level from "Standard" to "Strict".
- Improve documentation to outline the impact of uninstalling the "Xbox
Identity Provider" app.

- Adjust revert code align with recent Windows OS version.
This commit introduces two meta tags to strengthen the application's
security posture and enhance user privacy, following best practices and
OWASP recommendations.
- Add Content-Security-Policy (CSP) to strictly to strictly control
which resources the application is allowed, mitigating the risk of
code injection attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
- Add `referrer` meta tag to prevent the users' browser from sending the
page's address, or referrer, when navigating to another site, thereby
enhancing user privacy.
This commit fixes the issue of Windows Security app not being removed in
Windows 11. It addresses the problem by extending the app uninstallation
process to cover the new app package specific to Windows 11. It improves
the overall design of templated functions for store app removal to
implement the fix.
- Improve Windows Security removal script:
- Add support for removing `Microsoft.SecHealthUI` in Windows 11.
- Revise script documentation for clarity and correct typos.
- Redesign uninstallion of Store apps:
- Change `UninstallSystemApp` to `UninstallNonRemovableStoreApp` for
wider usage. This change is due to `Microsoft.SecHealthUI` being
non-removable yet not a system app.
- Refactor app data cleanup into two distinct functions
(`ClearStoreAppDataBeforeUninstallation` and
`ClearStoreAppDataAfterUninstallation`) for better clarity and
maintainability. This also helps in testing by allowing easier
reordering of operations.
- Seperate between simple non-removable app uninstallation and
uninstallation with cleanup in separate functions, highlighting that
the latter is more invasive and should be used cautiously. This
addresses permission issues encountered with `SecHealthUI` app
removal during cleanup on Windows 11.
- Separate uninstalling app and uninstalling app with cleanup to
different functions, document that cleanup should no longer be
prefered as it's invasive and too aggresive. Cleanup logic
introduces permission issues/errors for `SecHealthUI` in Windows 11.
- Extend app soft-deletion to include the default Windows app folder,
this ensures that the cleanup covers any kind of Store apps (not
only system apps).
This commit introduces several improvements to the macOS update process,

- Replace `ElectronLog` type with `LogFunctions` for better abstraction.
- Unify log handling in `desktop-runtime-error` by removing
`renderer.log` due to `electron-log` v5 changes.
- Update and extend logger interfaces, removing 'I' prefix and adding
common log levels to abstract `electron-log` completely.
- Move logger interfaces to the application layer as it's cross-cutting
concern, meanwhile keeping the implementations in the infrastructure
layer.
- Introduce `useLogger` hook for easier logging in Vue components.
- Simplify `WindowVariables` by removing nullable properties.
- Improve documentation to clearly differentiate between desktop and web
versions, outlining specific features of each.

on script code blocks.
- Refactor SCSS variable names in `DocumentationText.vue` for clarity.
This commit fixes an issue where removing systems apps could disrupt
Windows Cumulative updates as reported in #287.
The fix involves removing the `EndOfLife` registry key after the app is
removed. Keeping the key at
`HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\EndOfLife`
was identified as the cause for update failures in #287.
This commit also refactors the registry key creation/removal logic to be
owned by separate functions for easier readability and reusability.

actual object.
These updates ensure better adherence to Vue 3 standards and improve
overall code quality and readability.
- Update ESLint configuration from Vue 2.x to Vue 3 rules.
- Switch from "essential" to strictest "recommended" ESLint ruleset.
- Adjust ESLint script to treat warnings as errors by using
`--max-warnings=0` flag. This enforces stricter code quality controls
provided by Vue 3 rules.
This commit fixes layout shifts that occur on card list part of the page
when the page is initially loaded.
- Resolve issue where card list starts with minimal width, leading
to jumps in UI until correct width is calculated on medium and
big screens.
- Dispose of existing `ResizeObserver` properly before creating a new
one. This prevents leaks and incorrect width calculations if
`containerElement` changes.
- Throttle resize events to minimize width/height calculation changes,
enhancing performance and reducing the chances for layout shifts.
Supporting CI/CD improvements:
- Enable artifact upload in CI/CD even if E2E tests fail.
- Distinguish uploaded artifacts by operating system for clarity.

This commit fixes an issue where tooltips create unwanted horizontal
overflow on mobile devices.
An overlay has been added to contain the tooltip within the viewport,
ensuring it doesn't disrupt the page layout.
The changes include adjustments to CSS visibility and pointer event
handling for the tooltip container and its children.
Changes:
- Introduce an overlay that spans the entire viewport for the tooltip
container.
- Add CSS rules to ensure the tooltip and its children maintain correct
pointer events and overflow behavior.
- Add a Cypress end-to-end test that verifies the absence of the
unintended horizontal overflow on small screens.
- Uploads videos/screenshots as artifacts during CI/CD to provide easier
troubleshooting. This change is supported by creating
`cypress-dirs.json` to be able to share directory information with
CI/CD runners and cypress configuration file.
This commit fixes a UI misalignment issue for toolips in the download
instructions modal.
The existing margin on icons caused tooltips to be misaligned upon hover
or touch.
Changes include:
- Introduce wrapper elements to encapsulate the margin, ensuring
tooltips align with the corresponding icons.
- Extract the information incon into a separate Vue component to adhere
to the single-responsibility principle and improve maintainability.
- Remove redundant newline at the end of 'Open terminal' tooltip to
reduce the visual clutter.
This commit applies `strictNullChecks` to the entire codebase to improve
maintainability and type safety. Key changes include:
- Remove some explicit null-checks where unnecessary.
- Add necessary null-checks.
- Refactor static factory functions for a more functional approach.
- Improve some test names and contexts for better debugging.
- Add unit tests for any additional logic introduced.
- Refactor `createPositionFromRegexFullMatch` to its own function as the
logic is reused.
- Prefer `find` prefix on functions that may return `undefined` and
`get` prefix for those that always return a value.
This commit changes `WatchSource` signatures into `Readonly<Ref>`s.
It provides two important benefits:
1. Eliminates the possibility of `undefined` states, that's result of
using `WatchSource`s. This previously required additional null checks.
By using `Readonly<Ref>`, the state handling becomes simpler and less
susceptible to null errors.
2. Optimizes performance by using references:
- Avoids the reactive layer of `computed` references when not needed.
- The `watch` syntax, such as `watch(() => ref.value)`, can introduce
side effects. For example, it does not account for `triggerRef` in
scenarios where the value remains unchanged, preventing the watcher
from running (vuejs/core#9579).
This commit introduces `useUserSelectionState` compositional hook. it
centralizes and allows reusing the logic for tracking and mutation user
selection state across the application.
The change aims to increase code reusability, simplify the code, improve
testability, and adhere to the single responsibility principle. It makes
the code more reliable against race conditions and removes the need for
tracking deep changes.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce `CardStateIndicator` component for displaying the card state
indicator icon, improving the testability and separation of concerns.
- Refactor `SelectionTypeHandler` to use functional code with more clear
interfaces to simplify the code. It reduces complexity, increases
maintainability and increase readability by explicitly separating
mutating functions.
- Add new unit tests and extend improving ones to cover the new logic
introduced in this commit. Remove the need to mount a wrapper
component to simplify and optimize some tests, using parameter
injection to inject dependencies intead.
This commit improves the dependency injection mechanism by introducing a
custom `injectKey` function.
Key improvements are:
- Enforced type consistency during dependency registration and
instantiation.
- Simplified injection process, abstracting away the complexity with a
uniform API, regardless of the dependency's lifetime.
- Eliminated the possibility of `undefined` returns during dependency
injection, promoting fail-fast behavior.
- Removed the necessity for type casting to `symbol` for injection keys
in unit tests by using existing types.
- Consalidated imports, combining keys and injection functions in one
`import` statement.
This commit removes the redundant `index.html` file from the
`src/presentation/public` directory. This file was initially created
there with Vue CLI before migration to Vite. The existence of this file
is now unnecessary as Vite requires `index.html` to be at the project
root.
The deletion of this duplicate file simplifies the project and
eliminates potential confusion regarding the entry point of the
application.
Changes:
- Update `docs/presentation.md` to clarify the location of `index.html`.
- Remove the `src/presentation/public/index.html` file, which was
duplicate of the project root `index.html`.
These changes ensure compliance with Vite's configuration and project
structure clarity.
This commit fixes a bug where the check states of tree nodes were not
correctly updated upon selecting predefined groups like "Standard",
"Strict", "None" and "All".
It resolves the issue by manually triggering of updates for mutated
array containing selected scripts.
It enhances test coverage to prevent regression and verify the correct
behavior of state updates.
This bug was introduced in commit
4995e49c46, which optimized reactivity by
removing deep state tracking.
This commit fixes the bug where the "Copy" button does not copy when
clicked on download instructions modal (on Linux and macOS).
This commit also introduces several improvements to the UI components
related to copy action and their interaction with the clipboard feature.
It adds more tests to avoid regression of the bugs and improves
maintainability, testability and adherence to Vue's reactive principles.
Changes include:
- Fix non-responsive copy button in the download instructions modal by
triggering a `click` event in `AppIcon.vue`.
- Improve `TheCodeButtons.vue`:
- Remove redundant `getCurrentCode` function.
- Separate components for each button for better separation of
concerns and higher testability.
- Use the `gap` property in the flexbox layout, replacing the less
explicit sibling combinator approach.
- Add `useClipboard` compositional hook for more idiomatic Vue approach
to interacting with the clipboard.
- Add `useCurrentCode` compositional hook to handle current code state
more effectively with unified logic.
- Abstract clipboard operations to an interface to isolate
responsibilities.
- Switch clipboard implementation to the `navigator.clipboard` API,
moving away from the deprecated `document.execCommand`.
- Move clipboard logic to the presentation layer to conform to
separation of concerns and domain-driven design principles.
- Improve `IconButton.vue` component to increase reusability with
consistent sizing.
This commit improves the revert script for store apps to handle
scenarios where `Get-AppxPackage` returns multiple packages. Instead of
relying on a single package result, the script now iterates over all
found packages and attempts installation using the `AppxManifest.xml`
for each. This ensures that even if multiple versions or instances of a
package are found, the script will robustly handle and attempt to install
each one until successful.
Other changes:
- Add better message with suggestion if the revert code fails, as
discussed in #270.
- Improve robustness of finding manifest path by using `Join-Path`
instead of basic string concatenation. This resolves wrong paths being
built due to missing `\` in file path.
- Add check for null or empty `InstallLocation` before accessing
manifest path. It prevents errors when accessing `AppxManifest.xml`,
enhancing script robustness and reliability.
- Improve error handling in manifest file existence check with try-catch
block to catch and log exceptions, ensuring uninterrupted script
execution in edge cases such as when the script lacks access to read
the directory.
- Add verification of package installation before attempting to install
the package for increased robustness.
- Add documentation for revertCode.
This commit unifies some of the logic, documentation and naming for
Firefox clean-up with improvements on both Linux and Windows platforms.
Windows:
- 'Clear browsing history and cache':
- Not recommend.
- Align script name and logic with Linux implementation.
- New documentation and not including the script in recommendation
provides safety against unintended data loss as discussed in #273.
- 'Clear Firefox user profiles, settings, and data':
- Rename to 'Clear all Firefox user information and preferences' for
improved clarity.
- Add more documentation.
Linux:
- Replace `DeleteFromFirefoxProfiles` with
`DeleteFilesFromFirefoxProfiles`.
- Migrate implementation to Python:
- Add more user-friendly outputs.
- Exclude removing directory itself for additional safety.
Both Linux and Windows:
- Improve documentation for:
- 'Clear Firefox user profiles, settings, and data'
- 'Clear Firefox history'
- Migrate from "Vue 2.X" to "Vue 3.X"
- Migrate from "Vue Test Utils v1" to "Vue Test Utils v2"
Changes in detail:
- Change `inserted` to `mounted`.
- Change `::v-deep` to `:deep`.

- Remove unneeded `any` cast workarounds.
- Move stubs and `provide`s under `global` object.
Other changes:
- Add `dmg-license` dependency explicitly due to failing electron builds
on macOS (electron-userland/electron-builder#6520,
electron-userland/electron-builder#6489). This was a side-effect of
updating dependencies for this commit.
- Replace `ref`s with `shallowRef` when deep reactivity is not needed.
- Replace `readonly`s with `shallowReadonly` where the goal is to only
prevent `.value` mutation.
- Remove redundant `ref` in `SizeObserver.vue`.
- Remove redundant nested `ref` in `TooltipWrapper.vue`.
- Remove redundant `events` export from `UseCollectionState.ts`.
- Remove redundant `computed` from `UseCollectionState.ts`.

after using `shallowRef`.
- Add missing unit tests for `UseTreeViewFilterEvent`.
- Add missing stub for `FilterChangeDetails`.
This commit changes the system app removal functionality in privacy.sexy
to perform a hard delete, while preserving the soft-delete logic for
handling residual files.
It improves in-code documentation to facilitate a clearer understanding
of the code execution flow, as the logic for removing system apps has
grown in complexity and length.
Transitioning to a hard-delete approach resolves issues related to
residual links to soft-deleted apps:
- Resolves issue with Edge remaining in the installed apps list (#236).
- Resolves issue with Edge remaining in the programs list (#194).
- Resolves issue with Edge shortcuts persisting in the start menu (#73).
Other changes:
- `RunPowerShell`:
- Introduce `codeComment` and `revertCodeComment` parameters for
improved in-code documentation.
- `CommentCode`:
- Simplify naming to `Comment`.
- Rename `comment` to `codeComment` for clarity.
- Add functionality to comment on revert with the `revertCodeComment`
parameter.
This commit unifies the way the files are being deleted by introducing
the `DeleteFiles` function. It refactors existing scripts that are
deleting files to use the new function, to improve their documentation
and increase their safety.
Script changes:
- 'Clear Software Reporter Tool logs':
- Rename to: 'Clear Google's "Software Reporter Tool" logs'
- 'Clear credentials in Windows Credential Manager':
- Migrate code to PowerShell, removing the need to delete files.
- Improve error messages and robustness of the implementation.
- 'Clear Nvidia residual telemetry files':
- Extract to two scripts for more granularity and better
documentation:
1. 'Disable Nvidia telemetry components'
2. 'Disable Nvidia telemetry drivers'
- Change the logic so instead of clearing directory contents and
deleting drivers, it conducts a soft delete for reversibility to
prioritize user safety.
- 'Remove OneDrive residual files':
- Improve documentation
- 'Clear primary Windows telemetry file':
- Rename to 'Clear diagnostics tracking logs'.
- Add missing file paths seen on modern versions of Windows.
- Add more documentation.
- 'Clear Windows Update History (`WUAgent`) system logs':
- Rename to 'Clear Windows update files'.
- Add more documentation.
- 'Clear Cryptographic Services diagnostic traces':
- Rename to 'Clear "Cryptographic Services" diagnostic traces'.
- Add more documentation.
Other changes:
- Improve `DeleteGlob`:
- Add iteration callbacks for its reusability.
- Improve its documentation.
- Make recursion optional.
- Improve sanity check (verification) logic for given glob when
granting permissions.
- Fix granting permissions using wrong variable to find out parent
directory.
- Improve `IterateGlob`:
- Use `Get-Item` to get results. This fixes `DeleteDirectory` not
being able to delete directory itself but just its contents.
- Introduce and use `recurse` parameter to provide optional recursive
search logic (to search in subdirectories) using `Get-ChildItem`.
- Fix wrong PowerShell syntax for `$revert` variable value for
`revertCode`: replace `true` with `$true`.
- Order iterated paths based on their length to process the deepest
item first.
- Improve handling of missing files with correct/informative outputs
when granting permissions.
- Improve `SoftDeleteFiles`:
- Introduce and use `recurse` parameter for explicitness.
- Fix undefined `$backupFilePath` by replacing it with correct
`$originalFilePath`.
- Improve documentation.
- Ensure consistent use of instructive language in code comments.
This commit fixes an issue where the tooltip position becomes inaccurate
after resizing the window.
The solution uses `autoUpdate` functionality of `floating-ui` to update
the position automatically on resize events. This function depends on
browser APIs: `IntersectionObserver` and `ResizeObserver`. The official
documentation recommends polyfilling those to support old browsers.
Polyfilling `ResizeObserver` is already part of the codebase, used by
`SizeObserver.vue`. This commit refactors polyfill logic to be reusable
across different components, and reuses it on `TooltipWrapper.vue`.
Polyfilling `IntersectionObserver` is ignored due to this API being
older and more widely supported.
This commit improves soft file delete logic:
- Unify logic for soft deleting single files and system apps.
- Rename `RenameSystemFile` templating function to `SoftDeleteFiles` so
new name gives clarity to:
- It's not necessarily single file being renamed but can be multiple
files.
- It's not necessarily system files being renamed, but can also work
without granting extra permissions.
- Grant permissions for only files that will be backed up, skipping
unnecessarily granting permissions to folders/other files. Both
`SeRestorePrivilege` and `SeTakeownershipPrivileges` are claimed and
revoked as necessary.
- Make granting permissions optional through `grantPermissions`
parameter. Do not take permissions if not needed.
- Restore permissions to system default after file is renamed. Before
both deletion of system apps and renaming system files did not restore
their original permissions. This might leave user computers
vulnerable, which is fixed in this commit. It ensures that the
system's original security posture is preserved.
- Deleting system apps is now independent of `Get-AppxPackage`,
improving its robustness and enabling their execution once system apps
are hard-deleted (#260)
- Introduce common way to share glob iteration logic of how the
directories are being cleaned up. It reuses most of the logic from
former `DeleteGlob` with some improvements:
- Simplify call to `Get-ChildItem` by avoiding `-Filter` parameter.
- Improve reliability of getting parent directory in `DeleteGlob`
sanity check to use .NET's `[System.IO.Path]` methods.
The previous implementation of `WithParser` used regex, which struggles
with parsing nested structures correctly. This commit improves
`WithParser` to track and parse all nested `with` expressions.
Other improvements:
- Throw meaningful errors when syntax is wrong. Replacing the prior
behavior of silently ignoring such issues.
- Remove `I` prefix from related interfaces to align with newer code
conventions.
- Add more unit tests for `with` expression.
- Improve documentation for templating.
- `ExpressionRegexBuilder`:
- Use words `capture` and `match` correctly.
- Fix minor issues revealed by new and improved tests:
- Change regex for matching anything except surrounding
whitespaces. The new regex ensures that it works even without
having any preceeding text.
- Change regex for capturing pipelines. The old regex was only
matching (non-greedy) first character of the pipeline in tests,
new regex matches the full pipeline.
- `ExpressionRegexBuilder.spec.ts`:
- Ensure consistent way to define `describe` and `it` blocks.
- Replace `expectRegex` tests, regex expectations test internal
behavior of the class, not the external.
- Simplified tests by eliminating the need for UUID suffixes/prefixes.
This commit ensures the script functions as expected, even when invoked
from unexpected environments.
Using `setlocal` initializes a distinct environment for privacy.sexy.
It's strategically placed after the admin privilege check to avoid
unnecessary setup in case of a relaunch. The script concludes with
`endlocal` right before the exit, maintaining a clean environment
throughout its execution and ensuring no unintentional global
environment modifications.
Changes:
- Enhance script's environment robustness.
- Add descriptive comments for script start/end sequences.
This commit addresses the issue of unwanted applications being
reinstalled during a Windows update. By adding a specific registry
entry, this commit ensures that Windows apps, once removed, do not
return with subsequent updates.
This change ensures more control over the applications present on a
Windows system, particularly after an update, enhancing user experience
and systeam cleanliness.
This commit refactors configuration to use centrally defined Electron
entry file path to improve maintainability and reduce duplication.
- Replace the hardcoded file path in the `main` field of `package.json`
with a reference to the `ELECTRON_ENTRY` environment variable, managed
by `electron-vite`.
- Update `electron-vite` to version 1.0.28, enabling the use of
`ELECTRON_ENTRY` environment variable feature (details in
alex8088/electron-vite#270).
This commit improves the security, reliability, and robustness of
directory cleanup operations on Windows.
The focus is shifted from deleting entire directories to purging their
contents, addressing potential unintended side effects. Previously,
numerous directories were removed, which could destabilize system
behavior.
This improvement has crucial security implications. The prior approach
involved changing ownership and assigning permissions to the directory
itself, leading to an altered and potentially less secure OS security
posture.
Directory removal improvements include:
- Output user-friendly messages.
- Improved ownership and permission handling for file deletion.
- Explicit shared functions for enhanced reliability/security.
- Centralized way to delete glob (wildcard) patterns in Windows.
Notable script improvements:
- 'Clear Steam dumps, logs, and traces':
- Convert the script to a category to provide more granularity.
- Improve cache cleaning, ensuring the entire cache directory is
cleared, not just the log files.
- 'Clear "Temporary Internet Files" (browser cache)':
- Add more documentation.
- Grant necessary permissions to folders, fixing errors due to
lack of permissions before.
- 'Clear Windows Update Medic Service logs':
- Remove redundant permission grants, as they are unnecessary in
recent Windows versions.
- 'Clear Server-initiated Healing Events system logs',
'Clear Windows Update events logs':
- Merge due to identical functionalities.
- Add more documentation.
- 'Clear Defender scan (protection) history':
- Remove the execution with `TrustedInstallerPrivileges`, uniformly
using `grantPermissions` as with other scripts. This addresses the
false-positive alerts from Microsoft Defender, as discussed in #264.
- 'Clear "Temporary Internet Files" (browser cache)':
- Retain `INetCache` and `Temporary Internet Files` directories,
purging only their contents. This approach aims to resolve the issue
mentioned in #145, where the absence of these folders could prevent
Microsoft Office applications from launching.
This commit fixes the issue where the Microsoft Advertising app fails to
be removed using the standard script. The problem is due to Microsoft
Advertising SDK (`Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml`) acting as a framework
package. Such packages are automatically installed when a specific
application requires them, and they cannot be individually removed if
there are applications that depend on them. The only way to effectively
remove this library is by uninstalling the dependent applications.
Key findings:
- On Windows 11 22H2, the issue does not arise as the package does not
exist.
- On Windows 10 22H2, the user is prompted to delete dependent
applications, like MSN Weather and Mail And Calendar apps. Once these
apps are removed, the Microsoft Advertising app is automatically
removed.
Given the nuances and potential for confusion, this script is removed.
This means that the app will no longer be removed directly but will be
handled as part of the removal of its dependencies.
Fix the syntax error in the GitHub action script that was caused by
improper multi-line YAML notation. This correction ensures the action
can successfully parse and execute.
Optimize the tree view rendering during searches by enhancing the render
queue ordering. This update changes the rendering order to prioritize
visible nodes, leading to faster appearance of these nodes during
searches. The ordering logic now ignores the depth in the hierarchy and
instead focused on the node order. The collapsed check for the node
itself is removed, ensuring that visible collapsed parents are first
while their invisible children are rendered later.
This commit improves soft deletion of system apps. Before if the package
was missing, it failed to recover or delete system apps. Now, it works
even though if `Get-AppxPackage` returns null (i.e. package is
non-existing), so it can be executed even after a hard delete. This
allows safely introducing hard-delete of system apps (as discussed in
#260) with still keeping a robust soft-delete as complement.
Before, the script was dependent on `Get-AppxPackage.InstallLocation`,
however a system app can only be located in one of these folders:
- C:\Windows\SystemApps\{PackageFamilyName}
- C:\Windows\{ShortAppName}
To ensure resilience, this commit adjust the script to rename the files
within these directories if Get-AppxPackage fails, this provides a
fallback.
- Add documentation about folders.
- Add more user-friendly logging.
- Continue uninstallation if single folder fails (remove throw).
- Continue uninstallation if renaming single file fails.
- Add handling of `Metadata` folder as suggested in #73.
This commit updates various dependencies to their latest versions.
Other changes include:
- Moved the following from `devDependencies` to `dependencies`:
- `electron-log`
- `electron-updater`
- Remove `npm` dependency.
- Code changes:
- Add type casting in several places to align with the latest
`typescript` version.
- Adopt to new return type of `setTimeout`.

- `@typescript-eslint/parser`
- Enable video recording for cypress as it's disabled by default since
13.X.X.
- Use instruction format such as "do this, do that" to provide clear,
direct instructions. This format minimize confusion and is easy to
follow. They are specific and leave no room for interpretation,
stating precisely what needs to be done without ambiguity.
- Fix typos and grammar issues.
- Improve consistency in script and category names.
- Revise sentences for more natural English language flow.
- Change brand name casing to match official branding.
- Change title case (all words start capitalized) to sentence case.
- Prioritize consistency over variations.
- Add minor documentation to explain scripts where the names are not
clear.
- Add naming guidelines.
This commit fixes the CI/CD website release process which was failing
due to an incorrect working directory setting. The `working-directory`
is now correctly set within the action workflow, ensuring the `npm run

maintainability and readability.
- Add user-friendly output messages.
- Improve script logic to avoid unnecessary service start/stop when the
file doesn't exist.
The commit adds a new a UI component that's enabled in development mode.
This component, initially, provides a button that wen clicked, logs all
the script and category names to the console. It helps revising names
used throughout the application.
By having this component in a conditionally rendered component, it's
excluded from the production builds.
- Move removal of `SecHealthUI` app to "Privacy over security" category.
- Emphasize disruptive behavior in the script name.
- Add comprehensive documentation
- Add script to remove Edge shortcuts upon uninstallation.
- Unify OneDrive shortcut removal logic with Edge's, introducing revert
feature to the OneDrive removal script.
- Add more extensive documentation.
- Rename "Delete OneDrive shortcuts" to "Remove OneDrive shortcuts" to
have consistent naming.
This commit introduces scripts for cleaning up file and URL associations
related to Microsoft Edge, enhancing the uninstallation process. The
changes adress the issues detailed in #64, improving system reliability,
integrity and security by preventing lingering associations.
Changes include:
- Introduce scripts to clear Edge browser file and URL associations.
- Provide extensive documentation for related scripts.
- Ensure thorough cleanup of URL, file, OpenWith menu, and toast
associations.
- Recommend removing Microsoft Edge (Legacy) Dev Tools Client app on
Strict to align with other Edge legacy removal recommendations.
- Replace obsolete "Firefox First party isolation" with "Firefox state
partitioning".
- Add comprehensive documentation for the new scripts.
- Introduce enabling dynamic First-Party Isolation (dFPI)
- Disable deprecated First-Party Isolation (FPI) to avoid conflicts with
dFPI.
- Add script to enable Firefox network partitioning to cover
functionality of older FPI script.
This commit enhances the robustness of setting VSCode configurations,
ensuring consistent and reliable operation even in edge cases, such as
when the settings file is empty. This commit also uniforms behavior of
Linux and Windows modification of VSCode settings.
On Windows:
- Move parameters to on top of scripts to be able to easily test the
scripts using PowerShell without compiling.
- Add a check to exit the script with an error message if the attempt to
parse the JSON content fails.
- Omit the `OutString` cmdlet from the pipeline in the script for
converting JSON file content to a PowerShell object. `Out-String` is
unnecessary in this context because `Get-Content` already outputs the
file content as a string array, which `ConvertFrom-Json` effectively.
Additionally, using `Out-String` could potentially introduce issues by
concatenating file content into a single string, causing
`ConvertFrom-Json` to fail when processing pretty-printed JSON. By
removing `Out-String`, the script is streamlined and potential errors
are avoided.
- Add logic to handle empty settings file. Add an additional check for
empty settings file, if the file is empty, the script writes a default
empty JSON object (`{}`) to the file. The operation is logged to
ensure transparency, notifying the user of the action taken. This
change removes fails due to empty setting files.
- When reverting, do not fail if the setting file is missing because it
means that default settings are already in-place.
- When reverting, show informative message if the key does not exist or
does not have the value set by privacy.sexy and do not take any
further action.
- If the desired value is already set, show a message for it and skip
updating the setting file.
On Linux:
- Handles empty `settings.json` similarly to Windows.
- Add more user friendly error if JSON file cannot be parsed.
This commit improve cleanup of temporary directories on Windows,
addressing issues #176 and #89.
Changes include:
- Fix side-effects caused by this script by clearing the contents of
directories rather than deleting the directories themselves.
- Add the removal of Prefetch directory contents, which stores temporary
files and can enhance privacy and free up disk space when cleared.
- Remove the command `del /f /q %localappdata%\Temp\*` due to its
redundancy.
- Improve the granularity and documentation of cleanup scripts, and
moving the `Clear temporary Windows files` category up in the hierarchy
for better structure and clarity.

This commit incorporates Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) using
CodeQL. This integration will enforce consistent security assessments
with every change and on a predetermined schedule.
This commit also involves a restructure of security checks. The existing
security-checks workflow is renamed to better reflect its functionality
related to dependency audits.
These changes will enhance the project's resilience against potential
vulnerabilities in both the codebase and third-party dependencies.
Changes include:
- Remove older LGTM badge that's replaced by SAST checks.
- Rename `checks.security.yaml` to `checks.security.dependencies.yaml`,
reinforcing the focus on dependency audits.
- Update `README.md`, ensuring the clear representation of security
check statuses, including new SAST integration.
- Add new `SECURITY.md`, establishing the protocol for reporting
vulnerabilities and outlining the project's commitment to robust
security testing.
- Enhance `docs/tests.md` with detailed information on the newly
integrated security checks.
- Add reference to SECURITY.md in README.md.
This commit improves multiple aspects of Docker builds:
- Enable artifact output validation for Dockerfile.
- Correct the path references in Dockerfile for the distribution
directory.
- Add Dockerfile specific indentation rules to `.editorconfig`.
- Use `npm run install-deps` for dependency installation, enhancing
build reliability.
- Add automation script `verify-web-server-status.js` to verify running
web server on given URL.
- Introduce automated build verification for Dockerfile:
- On macOS, install Docker with colima as the container runtime
because default agents do not include Docker and Docker runtime is
not installed due to licensing issues (see actions/runner-images#17).
- On Windows, there's no Linux container support (actions/runner#904,
actions/runner-images#1143), so keep the checks for macOS and Ubuntu
only.
The tree view rendering performance is optimized by improving the node
render queue ordering. The node rendering order is modified based on the
expansion state and the depth in the hierarchy, leading to faster
rendering of visible nodes. This optimization is applied when the tree
nodes are not expanded to improve the rendering speed.
This new ordering ensures that nodes are rendered more efficiently,
prioritizing nodes that are collapsed and are at a higher level in the
hierarchy.
This commit fixes an issue where the check state of categories was lost
when toggling between card and tree views. This is solved by immediately
emitting node state changes for all nodes. This ensures consistent view
transitions without any loss of node state information.
Furthermore, this commit includes added unit tests for the modified code
sections.
This commit fixes issues with download URLs of desktop application
artifacts on README.md
- Corrected typo in Linux AppImage link
- Updated older version links to the newest release

- Modify script to run as `TrustedInstaller`, resolving access right
problems discussed in #246.
- Change script name for better alignment with its functionality.
- Improve script description for clarity and detailed documentation.
- Add non-intrusive way to disable delivery optimization. This new
script do not introduce side-effects caused by disabling Delivery
Optimization service.
- Recomend delivery optimization service (`DoSvc`) only on Strict
mode, removing it from Standard recommendation.
- Categorize delivery optimization disabling under one category.
- Move disabling delivery optimization to "Disable OS collection" >
"Disable Windows Update data collection".
- Add more documentation.
- Fix script failing when multiple installations of Edge is found.
- Fix Edge not being able to be uninstalled due in newer Edge versions.
- Add documentation
- Add missing revert script
- Introduce a new UI component for tooltips.
- Fix tooltip arrow misalignment issues in code download/execution
instructions dialogs.
Reasons for dropping `v-tooltip` dependency:
- Lack of support for Vue 3.0, which blocks migration to Vue 3.0 (see
#230).
- Inability to render HTML content that's required for privacy.sexy.
- Inefficient, adding an extra 162.48 KB to the production bundle for
web distribution (tested using `npm run build -- --mode production`).
Advantages of adopting `floating-ui` (Floating UI):
- Compatibility across multiple Vue versions including 2.0, 2.7, and 3.0.
- Reduced boilerplate resulting in cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Efficient position recalculations without reinventing the wheel.
This commit adds missing vertical margin paragraphs that appear after
lists. It also changes vertical margin gap to match the font size along
with refactoring that makes paragraph gap modification easier to
understand.
This commit fixes compiler bug where it fails when optional values are
compiled into absent values in nested calls.
- Throw exception with more context for easier future debugging.
- Add better validation of argument values for nested calls.
- Refactor `FunctionCallCompiler` for better clarity and modularize it
to make it more maintainable and testable.
- Refactor related interface to not have `I` prefix, and
function/variable names for better clarity.
Context:
Discovered this issue while attempting to call
`RunInlineCodeAsTrustedInstaller` which in turn invokes `RunPowerShell`
for issue #246. This led to the realization that despite parameters
flagged as optional, the nested argument compilation didn't support
them.
- Add script to disable `WaaSMedicSvc` service (#252)
- Refine script granularity for more precise control.
- Introduce detailed documentation for the category and associated
scripts.
- Fix `ScheduledInstallTime` being set to `3` which schedules updates to
install at 3 AM.
- Fix `ScheduledInstallDay` is being set to `0` which schedules daily
update installation.
- Fix `NoAutoUpdate` being set to `0` (enable) instead of `1` (disable).
- Add disabling of missing `wuauserv` service.
- Add parent category for disabling Windows update services for better
organization.
- Move disabling Windows Spotlight from Standard to Strict
recommendation due to unexpected behavior for some users (#65).
- Enhance documentation.
- Correct revert code to ensure return to the default OS state.
Key highlights:
- Written from scratch to cater specifically to privacy.sexy's
needs and requirements.
- The visual look mimics the previous component with minimal changes,
but its internal code is completely rewritten.
- Lays groundwork for future functionalities like the "expand all"
button a flat view mode as discussed in #158.
- Facilitates the transition to Vue 3 by omitting the Vue 2.0 dependent
`liquour-tree` as part of #230.
Improvements and features:
- Caching for quicker node queries.
- Gradual rendering of nodes that introduces a noticable boost in
performance, particularly during search/filtering.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
Changes:
- Keyboard interactions now alter the background color to highlight the
focused item. Previously, it was changing the color of the text.
- Better state management with clear separation of concerns:
- `TreeView` exclusively manages indeterminate states.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
- Introduce transaction pattern to update state in batches to minimize
amount of events handled.
- Improve keyboard focus, style background instead of foreground. Use
hover/touch color on keyboard focus.
- `SelectableTree` has been removed. Instead, `TreeView` is now directly
integrated with `ScriptsTree`.
- `ScriptsTree` has been refactored to incorporate hooks for clearer
code and separation of duties.
- Adopt Vue-idiomatic bindings instead of keeping a reference of the
tree component.
- Simplify and change filter event management.
- Abandon global styles in favor of class-scoped styles.
- Use global mixins with descriptive names to clarify indended
functionality.
This commit addresses occasional pipeline failures caused by transient
network errors during dependency installation with `npm ci`. It
centralizes the logic for installing npm dependencies and introduces a
retry mechanism.
The new approach will attempt `npm ci` up to 5 times with a 5-second
interval between each attempt, thereby increasing the resilience of
CI/CD pipelines.
This commit adds a new script `npm-install.js` with `npm run
install-deps` command to centralize npm dependency installation process
throughout the project. Separate testing of scripts to a separate
workflow.
It removes unused `install` dependency from `package.json`.
This commit makes the build process more robust, simplifies
configurations and reduce the risk of incomplete or erroneous
deployments.
- Centralize output directory definitions by introducing
`dist-dirs.json`.
- Add `verify-build-artifacts` utility to ensure correct build outputs
and `print-dist-dir` to determine distribution directory.
- Add steps in CI/CD pipeline to verify build artifacts.
- Migrate Electron Builder config from YAML to CJS for capability to
read JSON.
- Fix `release-site.yaml` failing due to pointing to wrong distribution
directory, change it to use `print-dist-dir`.
- Improve `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to verify build artifacts for
more reliable builds. Ensure tests fail and succeed reliably.
- Update `.gitignore` and configure ESLint to use it to define and
ignore build artifact directories from one place, remove
`.eslintignore` that does not add anything after this change.
- Keep `"main"` field in `package.json` as `electron-vite` depends on it
(alex8088/electron-vite#270).
- Improve documentation
This commit simplifies event handling, providing a unified and robust
way to handle event lifecycling. This way, it fixes events not being
unsubscribed when state is changed.
Introduce a new function in `EventSubscriptionCollection` to remove
existing events and adding new events. This provides an easier to use
API, which leads to code that's easier to understand. It also prevents
potential bugs that may occur due to forgetting to call both functions.
It fixes `TheScriptsMenu` not unregistering events on state change.
Other improvements include:
- Include a getter to get total amount of registered subcriptions.
This helps in unit testing.
- Have nullish checks to prevent potential errors further down the
execution.
- Use array instead of rest parameters to increase readability and
simplify tests.
Ensure `SliderHandler` stops resizes on unmount, unsubscribing from all
events and resetting state to default.
Update `injectionKeys` to do imports as types to avoid circular
dependencies. Simplify importing `injectionKeys` to enable and strict
typings for iterating injection keys.
Add tests covering new behavior.
- Move external URL checks to its own module under `tests/`. This
separates them from integration test, addressing long runs and
frequent failures that led to ignoring test results.
- Move `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to `tests/checks` to keep all
test-related checks into one directory.
- Replace `ts-node` with `vite` for running
`check-desktop-runtime-errors` to maintain a consistent execution
environment across checks.
- Implement a timeout for each fetch call.
- Be nice to external sources, wait 5 seconds before sending another
request to an URL under same domain. This solves rate-limiting issues.
- Instead of running test on every push/pull request, run them only
weekly.
- Do not run tests on each commit/PR but only scheduled (weekly) to
minimize noise.
- Fix URLs are not captured correctly inside backticks or parenthesis.
- Fix the naming convention in Electron output to align with previous
artifact naming to not break external/internal URLs.
- In desktop execution tests, make artifact locator logic stricter to
test regression.
Test improvements:
- Capture titles for all macOS windows, not just the frontmost.
- Incorporate missing application log files.
- Improve log clarity with enriched context.
- Improve application termination on macOS by reducing grace period.
- Ensure complete application termination on macOS.
- Validate Vue application loading through an initial log.
- Support ignoring environment-specific `stderr` errors.
- Do not fail the test if working directory cannot be deleted.
- Use retry pattern when installing dependencies due to network errors.
Refactorings:
- Migrate the test code to TypeScript.
- Replace deprecated `rmdir` with `rm` for error-resistant directory
removal.
- Improve sanity checking by shifting from App.vue to Vue bootstrapper.
- Centralize environment variable management with `EnvironmentVariables`
construct.
- Rename infrastructure/Environment to RuntimeEnvironment for clarity.
- Isolate WindowVariables and SystemOperations from RuntimeEnvironment.
- Inject logging via preloader.
- Correct mislabeled RuntimeSanity tests.
Configuration:
- Introduce `npm run check:desktop` for simplified execution.
- Omit `console.log` override due to `nodeIntegration` restrictions and
reveal logging functionality using context-bridging.
Manage Firefox preferences through `user.js` instead of `prefs.js`.
Because of Mozilla's recommendation against direct `prefs.js` edits to
avoid potential profile corruption. Instead, the `user.js` file, if
present, overrides the settings in `prefs.js` at application startup.
Change AddFirefoxPrefs function to update `user.js` and manage
creation/deletion of this file:
1. Handle file creation if `user.js` does not exist.
2. Deletes file if `user.js` becomes empty after reverting settings.
Other changes:
- Improve log messages
- Minimal refactorings
Enable `contextIsolation` in Electron to securely expose a limited set
of Node.js APIs to the renderer process. It:
1. Isolates renderer and main process contexts. It ensures that the
powerful main process functions aren't directly accessible from
renderer process(es), adding a security boundary.
2. Mitigates remote exploitation risks. By isolating contexts, potential
malicious code injections in the renderer can't directly reach and
compromise the main process.
3. Reduces attack surface.
4. Protect against prototype pollution: It prevents tampering of
JavaScript object prototypes in one context from affecting another
context, improving app reliability and security.
Supporting changes include:
- Extract environment and system operations classes to the infrastructure
layer. This removes node dependencies from core domain and application
code.
- Introduce `ISystemOperations` to encapsulate OS interactions. Use it
from `CodeRunner` to isolate node API usage.
- Add a preloader script to inject validated environment variables into
renderer context. This keeps Electron integration details
encapsulated.
- Add new sanity check to fail fast on issues with preloader injected
variables.
- Improve test coverage of runtime sanity checks and environment
components. Move validation logic into separate classes for Single
Responsibility.
- Improve absent value test case generation.
- Fix a bug (introduced in 1b9be8fe) preventing the tree view from being
visible during a search.
- Fix a minor bug where the scripts view does not render based on the
initial filter.
- Add Vue component tests for `TheScriptView` to prevent regressions.
- Refactor `isSearching` in `TheScriptView` to simplify its logic.
- Switch from deprecated Vue CLI plugin to `electron-vite` (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1982)
- Update main/preload scripts to use `index.cjs` filenames to support
`"type": "module"`, resolving crash issue (#233). This crash was
related to Electron not supporting ESM (see electron/asar#249,
electron/electron#21457).
- This commit completes migration to Vite from Vue CLI (#230).
Structure changes:
- Introduce separate folders for Electron's main and preload processes.
- Move TypeHelpers to `src/` to mark tit as accessible by the rest of
the code.
Config changes:
- Make `vite.config.ts` reusable by Electron configuration.
- On electron-builder, use `--publish` flag instead of `-p` for clarity.
Tests:
- Add log for preload script loading verification.
- Implement runtime environment sanity checks.
- Enhance logging in `check-desktop-runtime-errors`.
This commit progresses the migration from Vue CLI to Vite (#230).
TypeScript migration:
- Convert JavaScript Cypress tests and configurations to TypeScript.
- Introduce `tsconfig.json` for Cypress, following official
recommendation.
Test execution:
- Use Cypress CLI to run the tests.
- Rename Cypress commands to reflect official naming conventions.
- Start Vue server prior to Cypress execution, using
`start-server-and-test` package based on official documentation.
- Remove dependency on Vue CLI plugin ((`@vue/cli-plugin-e2e-cypress`).
Configuration standardization (based on Cypress docs):
- Delete unused `plugins/` directory.
- Move test (spec) files to to the root directory.
- Add official ESLint plugin (`eslint-plugin-cypress`).
Changes for importing `vite.config.ts` into `cypress.config.ts`:
- Add TypeScript import assertations to files importing JSON files.
- Use ESM friendly way instead of `__dirname` to solve `ReferenceError:
__dirname is not defined in ES module scrope`.
Other changes:
- Simplify comments in placeholder files.
- Create Cypress specific `.gitignore` for enhanced maintainability,
clarity and scalability.
- Remove redundant `vue.config.cjs`.
This commit changes the web application's build, transpilation and
minification process from Vue CLI to Vite. This shift paves the way for
a full migration to Vite as the primary build tool (#230).
Configuration changes:
- `.vscode/extensions.json`: Update recommended plugins, replacing
unmaintained ones with official recommendations.
- Legacy browser support:
- Use `@vitejs/plugin-legacy` to transpile for older browsers.
- Remove `core-js` dependency and `babel.config.cjs` configuration as
they're now handled by the legacy plugin.
- Delete `@babel/preset-typescript` and `@babel/preset-typescript`
dependencies as legacy plugin handles babel dependencies by default.
- Add `terser` dependency that's used by the legacy plugin for
minification, as per Vite's official documentation.
- `tsconfig.json`:
- Remove obsolete `webpack-env` types.
- Add `"resolveJsonModule": true` to be able to read JSON files in
right way.
- Use correct casing as configuration values.
- Simplify `lib` to align with Vite and Vue starter configuration.
- Add `"skipLibCheck": true` as `npm run build` now runs `tsc` which
fails on inconsistent typings inside `node_modules` due to npm's
weak dependency resoultion.
- PostCSS:
- Add `autoprefixer` as dependency, no longer installed by Vue CLI.
- Epxlicitly added `postcss` as dependency to anticipate potential
peer dependency changes.
- Remove related `@vue/cli` dependencies.
- Remove `sass-loader` as Vite has native CSS preprocessing support.
- Run integration tests with `jsdom` environment so `window` object can
be used.
Client-side changes:
- Abstract build tool specific environment variable population.
Environment variables were previously populated by Vue CLI and now by
Vite but not having an abstraction caused issues. This abstraction
solves build errors and allows easier future migrations and testing.
- Change Vue CLI-specific `~@` aliases to `@` to be able to compile with
Vite.
- Update types in LiquorTree to satisfy `tsc`.
- Remove Vue CLI-specific workaround from `src/presentation/main.ts`.
Restructuring:
- Move `public/` to `presentation/` to align with the layered structure,
which was not possible with Vue CLI.
- Move `index.html` to web root instead of having it inside `public/` to
align with official recommended structure.
- Move logic shared by both integration and unit tests to
`tests/shared`.
- Move logo creation script to `scripts/` and its npm command to include
`build` to align with rest of the structure.
The Vue ESLint plugin is not compatible with Vite and isn't provided in
Vite's default template. By removing it, the codebase progresses toward
the migration to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230).
Changes:
- Directly execute `eslint` in the `npm run lint:eslint` command.
- Fix previously undetected linting issues that weren't covered by Vue
CLI's default configuration.
- Updated various configuration files, reflecting the removal and lint
fixes.
- Remove unused `eslint-plugin-import` dependency that is already
imported by `@vue/eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript`.
In `.eslintrc.cjs`:
- Add `es2022` as environment in to simplify setting parser options and
align with Vite starter configuration.
- Remove useless tests override.
- Move tests override in root `.eslintrc.cjs` to `tests/` for clarity,
better organization, scalability and separation of concerns.
As part of transition to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230), this commit
facilitates the shift towards building rest of the application using
Vite. By doing so, it eliminates reliance on outdated Electron building
system that offered limited control, blocking desktop builds (#233).
Changes include:
- Introduce Vite with Vue 2.0 plugin for test execution.
- Remove `mocha`, `chai` and other related dependencies.
- Adjust test to Vitest syntax.
- Revise and update `tests.md` to document the changes.
- Add `@modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml` plugin to be able to use yaml file
depended logic on test files, replacing previous webpack behavior.
- Fix failing tests that are revealed by Vitest due to unhandled errors
and lack of assertments.
- Remove the test that depends on Vue CLI populating `process.env`.
- Use `jsdom` for unit test environment, adding it to dependency to
`package.json` as project now depends on it and it was not specified
even though `package-lock.json` included it.
- Add automation script for building, packaging, installing, executing
and verifying Electron distrubtions across macOS, Ubuntu and Windows.
- Add GitHub workflow to run the script to test distributions using the
script.
- Update README with new workflow status badge.
- Add application initialization log to desktop applications to be able
to test against crashes before application initialization.
Configure project to use ES6 modules to enable top-level await
capabilities. This change helps project to align well with modern JS
standards.
- Set `type` to `module` in `package.json`.
- Use import/export syntax in Cypress configuration files.
- Rename configurations files that do not support modules to use
the `.cjs` extension:
- `vue.config.js` to `vue.config.cjs` (vuejs/vue-cli#4477).
- `babel.config.js` to `babel.config.cjs (babel/babel-loader#894)
- `.eslintrc.js` to `.eslintrc.cjs` (eslint/eslint#13440,
eslint/eslint#14137)
- `postcss.config.js` to `postcss.config.cjs` (postcss/postcss#1771)
- Provide a workaround for Vue CLI & Mocha ES6 modules conflict in
Vue configuration file (vuejs/vue-cli#7417).
Refactor filter event handling to a unified event with visitor pattern
to simplify the code, avoid future bugs and provide better test
coverage.
This commit shifts from using separate `filtered` and `filterRemoved`
events to a singular, more expressive `filterChanged` event. The new
approach emits a detailed payload that explicitly indicates the filter
action and the associated filter data. The event object unifies the way
the presentation layer reacts to the events.
Benefits with this approach include:
- Simplifying event listeners by reducing the number of events to
handle.
- Increasing code clarity and reduces potential for oversight by
providing explicit action details in the event payload.
- Offering extensibility for future actions without introducing new
events.
- Providing visitor pattern to handle different kind of events in easy
and robust manner without code repetition.
Other changes:
- Refactor components handling of events to follow DRY and KISS
principles better.
- Refactor `UserFilter.spec.ts` to:
- Make it easier to add new tests.
- Increase code coverage by running all event-based tests on the
current property.
- Remove existing integration tests for hooks as they're redundant after
this change.
- Document the pattern in relevant documentation.
- Introduce `useEnvironment` to increase testability.
- Update components to inject dependencies rather than importing hooks
directly.
This commits fixes an issue where the `REVERT` label on revert toggle
might render as `REVER` or in a similarly clipped manner due to its
fixed width. The problem is visible when certain fonts fail to load or
browser engines render content non-standardly.
Changes:
- Refactor UI component to have its own separate Vue component with unit
tests.
- Rework component design to utilize flexbox, enhancing its adaptability
and simplifying the structure.
- Remove obselete `webkit` directives.
- Refactor SCSS for clearer structure and better SCSS best-practices.
- Use `em` when possible instead of `px` for improved responsiveness.
This commit introduces a new Vue component to handle tooltips. It acts
as a wrapper for the `v-tooltip`. It enhances the maintainability,
readability and portability of tooltips by enabling the direct inclusion
of inline HTML in the tooltip components. It solves issues such as
absence of linting or editor support and cumbersome string
concatenation.
It also provides an abstraction layer that simplifies the switching
between different tooltip implementations, which would allow a smooth
migration to Vue 3 (see #230).
Introduce a brand new lightweight and efficient modal component. It is
designed to be visually similar to the previous one to not introduce a
change in feel of the application in a patch release, but behind the
scenes it features:
- Enhanced application speed and reduced bundle size.
- New flexbox-driven layout, eliminating JS calculations.
- Composition API ready for Vue 3.0 #230.
Other changes:
- Adopt idiomatic Vue via `v-modal` binding.
- Add unit tests for both the modal and dialog.
- Remove `vue-js-modal` dependency in favor of the new implementation.
- Adjust modal shadow color to better match theme.
- Add `@vue/test-utils` for unit testing.
Unit and integration tests have been failing due to failed logging of
`Error` objects. These were creating an issue where `mocha` was not
properly returning right exit codes, leading to test pipelines
incorrectly passing despite test failures.
- Fix runtime behavior of failing to retrieve error stacks.
- Add tests for error handling.
- Add more robust custom error handling.

This commit changes the behavior of auditing to audit only production
dependencies.
Security checks have been failing for months due to Vue CLI dependencies
and lack of resolution from the developers. This commit makes auditing
ignore development dependencies.
The reasons include:
- Vulnerabilities in developer dependencies cause pipelines to fail
on every run.
- This is caused by dependencies such that lack resolution from the
developers. Vue developers consider `npm audit` broken design and do
not prioritize solutions. Discussions: vuejs/vue-cli#6637,
vuejs/vue-cli#6621, vuejs/vue-cli#6555, vuejs/vue-cli#6553,
vuejs/vue-cli#6523, vuejs/vue-cli#6486, vuejs/vue-cli#6632.
- Development packages are not relevant for the production payload.
- False positives create behavior of ignoring them completely instead of
taking action, which creates a security vulnerability itself.
- Failed tests are shown in a badge on README file, giving wrong picture
of security posture of users.
`npm audit --omit=dev` is used instead of `npm audit --production` which
is deprecated as of npm v8.7.0 npm/cli#4744.
This commit also removes exiting with output of `npm audit` command to
fix exiting with textual output, leading to failures.
- Migrate `StatefulVue`:
- Introduce `UseCollectionState` that replaces its behavior and acts
as a shared state store.
- Add more encapsulated, granular functions based on read or write
access to state in CollectionState.
- Some linting rules get activates due to new code-base compability to
modern parses, fix linting errors.
- Rename Dialog to ModalDialog as after refactoring,
eslintvue/no-reserved-component-names does not allow name Dialog.
- To comply with `vue/multi-word-component-names`, rename:
- `Code` -> `CodeInstruction`
- `Handle` -> `SliderHandle`
- `Documentable` -> `DocumentableNode`
- `Node` -> `NodeContent`
- `INode` -> `INodeContent`
- `Responsive` -> `SizeObserver`
- Remove `vue-property-decorator` and `vue-class-component`
dependencies.
- Refactor `watch` with computed properties when possible for cleaner
code.
- Introduce `UseApplication` to reduce repeated code in new components
that use `computed` more heavily than before.
- Change TypeScript target to `es2017` to allow top level async calls
for getting application context/state/instance to simplify the code by
removing async calls. However, mocha (unit and integration) tests do
not run with top level awaits, so a workaround is used.
All outbound links now include `rel="noopener noreferrer"` attribute.
This security improvement prevents the new page from being able to
access the `window.opener` property and ensures it runs in a separate
process.
`rel="noopener"`:
When a new page is opened using `target="_blank"`, the new page runs
on the same process as the originating page, and has a reference to
the originating page `window.opener`. By implementing
`rel="noopener"`, the new page is prevented to use `window.opener`
property.
It's security issue because the newly opened website could
potentially redirect the page to a malicious URL. Even though
privacy.sexy doesn't have any sensitive information to protect, this
can still be a vector for phishing attacks.
`rel="noreferrer"`:
It implies features of `noopener`, and also prevents `Referer` header
from being sent to the new page. Referer headers may include
sensitive data, because they tell the new page the URL of the page
the request is coming from.
- Migrate to newer `eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript` from
`eslint-config-airbnb`.
- Add also `rushstack/eslint-patch` as per instructed by
`eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript` docs.
- Update codebase to align with new linting standards.
- Add script to configure VS Code for effective linting for project
developers, move it to `scripts` directory along with clean npm
install script for better organization.
- Add new scripts under "Disable Windows telemetry and data collection".
- Update script names and documentations to align with Microsoft's
latest branding for telemetry.
- Introduce broader configurability to minimize data collection.
- Add missing revert code to allow the reversion of changes, increasing
flexibility and safety.
- Include comprehensive documentation to provide more context and
understanding for users.
- Unify reading subtitle/slogan throughout the application.
- Refactor related unit tests for easier future changes.
- Add typed constants for Vue app environment variables.
The GitHub-hosted runners began experiencing issues while building macOS
desktop distributions, exclusively affecting the macOS environment.
The Ubuntu and Windows environments remained unaffected.
The logs highlighted the absence of Python in the macOS environment, which
resulted in build failure:
```sh
Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT
```
Since the `electron-builder` package uses Python scripts to create DMG
disk images for macOS distributions, Python is needed for building the
application. However, electron-builder uses Python 2.X meanwhile modern
macOS versions have removed Python 2.X from the operating system on
default installation.
Although this issue was resolved in `electron-builder` version 23,,
`vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` continues to use version 22. Due to a
lack of maintenance, the package is unlikely to receive updates.
This commit forces `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` to use the latest
`electron-builder` which resolves the macOS distribution build failure.
In CI process, GitHub-hosted runners start to fail when building macOS
desktop distributions. It is only observered in the macOS environment
while the application is built successfully in both the Ubuntu and
Windows environments.
The error message in the logs indicated that Python was not found in the
macOS environment:
```sh
Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /usr/bin/python ENOENT
```
`electron-builder` package uses Python scripts for certain operations,
specifically for creating DMG disk images for macOS distributions. As a
result, Python is a necessary dependency when building the application
for macOS.
`electron-builder` has fixed this starting from version 23, but
vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder still refers to version 22 and it is
unmaintained and not likely to get updates.
The solution is to add a step in the GitHub Actions workflow to set up
Python in the macOS environment. `actions/setup-python` sets up the
Python environment in the runner if the OS is macOS.
This change does not impact the Ubuntu and Windows environments as the
setup-python step is conditionally executed only for macOS. The addition
of Python to the macOS environment in CI process has resolved the build
failure issue for the macOS distribution.

Issue has been reported but not fixed, suggested solutions did not
work, see evanw/node-source-map-support#252.
- Update `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` to latest alpha version. This
allows upgrading `ts-loader` to latest and using latest
`electron-builder`. Change `main` property value in `package.json` to
`index.js` for successful electron builds (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#188).
Key features of Linux support:
- It supports python 3 scripts execution.
- It supports Flatpak and Snap installation for software
clean-up/configurations.
- Extensive documentation.
Rework code validation to be bound to a context and not
context-independent. It means that the generated code is validated based
on different phases during the compilation. This is done by moving
validation from `ScriptCode` constructor to a different callable
function.
It removes duplicate detection for function calls once a call is fully
compiled, but still checks for duplicates inside each function body that
has inline code. This allows for having duplicates in final scripts
(thus relaxing the duplicate detection), e.g., when multiple calls to
the same function is made.
It fixes non-duplicates (when using common syntax) being misrepresented
as duplicate lines.
It improves the output of errors, such as printing valid lines, to give
more context. This improvement also fixes empty line validation not
showing the right empty lines in the error output. Empty line validation
shows tabs and whitespaces more clearly.
Finally, it adds more tests including tests for existing logic, such as
singleton factories.
Change icon color to match the primary color of the theme (i.e.,
`#3a65ab`). The new color looks good on both dark and light surfaces
which solves #155.
Introduce SVG logo instead of PNG for better quality and scalability.
Improve icon creation. Introduce an automated script to create different
logo formats in different sizes enabling easier update of logo from
single place.
Add support for expressions inside expressions.
Add support for templating where the output of one expression results in
another template part with expressions.
E.g., this did not work before, but compilation will now evaluate both
with expression with `$condition` and parameter substitution with
`$text`:
```
{{ with $condition }}
echo '{{ $text }}'
{{ end }}
```
Add also more sanity checks (validation logic) when compiling
expressions to reveal problems quickly.
It reduces distribution size to half of the size (50%) from 17.4 MB to
8.75 MB.
It follows new Vue default configuration vuejs/vue-cli#5232.
It drops support for `baidu 13.18`, `ie 11`, `ie 10`, `bb 10`, `bb 7`,
`ie_mob 11`, `ie_mob 10`, `op_mob 12.1` as reported by
`npx browserslist`.
Improve templating support for block rendering for `with` expression
that has multiline code. This improves templating support to render
multiline code conditionally.
This did not work before but works now:
```
{{ with $middleLine }}
first line
second line
{{ end }}
```
- Simplify alternatives to run the script.
- Change style of code parts to be easier to the eye:
- Use the same font size as other texts in body.
- Add vertical padding.
- Align the contents (the code, copy button and dollar sign) in the
middle.
- Align information icon to center of context next to it.
- Fix minor typos and punctations.
- Refactor instruction list to be more generic to able to be used by
other operating systems.
- Make dialogs scrollable so instruction list on smaller screens can be
read until the end.
Remove uppercase text transformation from node titles (script and
categories) and "no results found" text when searching. It increases the
readability giving it a clean look.
- Improve documentation for OneDrive removal scripts.
- Add support for deleting OneDrive icon from the navigation pane.
- Do not revert OneDrive install code on Windows 11 as it does not exist
by default.
- Remove "Prevent automatic OneDrive install for new users" script as
HKU scripts are not really supported elsewhere and makes the code
harder to maintain.
- Do not print errors when the behavior is as expected. Surpress errors
on registry key deletion, ensure re-running script does not cause any
errors with proper checks.
- Change revert logic to match default Windows state.
- Hardcode service names for OneDrive to avoid side-effects.
- Rerruning OneDrive now runs it in background.
- Add Windows 11 support for running the installer/uninstaller.
- Rename scripts to simpler and easier-to-understand names
Improve documentation for Visual Studio scripts.
Add different keys reported by community for deleting Visual Studio 2022
licenses, see beatcracker/VSCELicense#14 for the key reports.
Add cleanup for SQM files that Visual Studio generates when it is unable
to connect to internet, to send the data when online. Improve cleanup
for Visual Studio logs.
Change revert behavior of the scripts to match default state of clean
Visual Studio installation.
Rework documentation URLs as inline markdown.
Redesign documentations with markdown text.
Redesign way to document scripts/categories and present the
documentation.
Documentation is showed in an expandable box instead of tooltip. This is
to allow writing longer documentation (tooltips are meant to be used for
short text) and have better experience on mobile.
If a node (script/category) has documentation it's now shown with single
information icon (ℹ) aligned to right.
Add support for rendering documentation as markdown. It automatically
converts plain URLs to URLs with display names (e.g.
https://docs.microsoft.com/..) will be rendered automatically like
"docs.microsoft.com - Windows 11 Privacy...".
This commit fixes two issues:
a. Fix `npm install` not working
b. Fix building not working after npm install fix.
npm install fails with dependency resolution issue due to Vue CLI as
following:
```txt
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE could not resolve
npm ERR!
npm ERR! While resolving: cache-loader@4.1.0

```txt
As suggested in Vue issues regenerating packages-lock.json solves the
issue, see: vuejs/vue-cli#6793, vuejs/vue-cli#7095.
However with the new package-lock.json a Font Awesome dependency issue
breaks the builds such as the following:
```txt
ERROR in src/presentation/bootstrapping/Modules/IconBootstrapper.ts:17:7
TS2345: Argument of type 'IconDefinition' is not assignable to parameter of type 'IconDefinitionOrPack'.

Index signature for type 'string' is missing in type 'IconDefinition'.
15 | public bootstrap(vue: VueConstructor): void {
16 | library.add(
> 17 | faGithub,
```
This is solved by adding a patch in `tsconfig.json`. This issue was
discussed in FortAwesome/Font-Awesome#12575 where the workaround was
recommended.
Disable selecting clickables as text. Selecting buttons leads to
unintended selection. This is seen when touching on clickables using
mobile devices.
Prevent blue highlight when touching on clickables. This is seen on
mobile webkit browsers. It looks ugly and the visual clue provided is
not needed beacuse all clickables on mobile already have visual clues.
This commit improves mobile support. `:hover` CSS selector is not mobile
friendly because there is typically no mouse support on mobile. This
commit make hover behavior to become active during touch on mobile.
`:hover` selector is emulated on mobile devices. But this emulated
behavior is not desired. When emulated, the CSS style gets attached when
starting touching but does not get removed after stopping touching. This
sticky behavior is undesired.
This commit solve this issue by using Saas mixing that uses `:active`
selector instead of `:hover` when `:hover` is not really supported but
emulated.
- Use better error messages with more context.
- Unify their validation logic and share tests.
- Validate also type of the name.
- Refactor node (Script/Category) parser tests for easier future
changes and cleaner test code (using `TestBuilder` to do dirty work in
unified way).
- Add more tests. Custom `Error` properties are compared manually due to
`chai` not supporting deep equality checks (chaijs/chai#1065,
chaijs/chai#1405).
Purge unused dependencies.
Update dependencies to latest except:
- ts-lint. Keep locked to 9.0.1 because that's the latest version that
works with Webpack 4 that's still used by
vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder.
- Keep eslint at version 7 because tests cannot be run/compiled with
version 7, see eslint/eslint#15678, vuejs/vue-cli#6759.
Newer versions of ESLint modules do not allow linebreak after or before
= operator (operator-linebreak). This commit also changes files to
comply with it.
Closes#116, #119, #122, #130.
- Bump setup-node action to v2.
- Use composite actions to reuse same setting. This is preferred over
reusable templates because reusable templates are on job-level but
setting up node should be a step.
Microsoft Defender considers the uninstaller virus. It's a
false-psoitive caused by `electron-builder` used to build NSIS package.
This commit solves the issue by explicitly adding `electron-builder` as
dependency. This way, `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` always resolves
to the desired version. Now the version used for `electron-builder` is
more controlled. New uninstaller generated by latest specified patch
does not trigger an alert, which solves the false-positive issue.

The logic was expecting major version in Windows 11 to be 11. However,
in Windows 11, major version is not changed and it is till 10. This
commit corrects logic to check build number that's guaranteed to be
higher in Windows 11.
Unify definition of aliases in single place.
Make TypeScript configuration file (`tsconfig.json`) source of truth
regarding aliases.
Both webpack (through `vue.config.js`) and ESLint (through
`.eslintrc.js`) now reads the alias configuration from `tsconfig.json`.
Remove using Webpack import syntax such as: `js-yaml-loader!@/..`. It's
a non-standard syntax that couples the code to Webpack.
Configure instead by specifying Webpack loader in Vue configuration
file.
Enable related ESLint rules.
Remove unused dependency `raw-loader` and refactor
`NoUnintendedInlining` test to load files using file system (dropping
webpack dependency).
Refactor to use `import type` for type imports to show the indent
clearly and satisfy failing ESLint rules.
- Simplify `README.md` by creating and moving some documentation to
`architecture.md`.
- Add more documentation for state handling between layers.
- Improve some documentation to use clearer language.
Move existing documentation to `docs/development.md` to have simpler
`README.md` but more dedicated and extensive documentation for
development.
Improve existing documentation for different commands for the project.
Document VSCode recommendations in `extensions.json` file and add
exception in `.gitignore` to be able to add it to repository.
- Unify test data for nonexistence of an object/string and collection.
- Introduce more test through adding missing test data to existing tests.
- Improve logic for checking absence of values to match tests.
- Add missing tests for absent value validation.
- Update documentation to include shared test functionality.
This commit ensures that all dependencies in `node_modules` will be
transpiled by Babel.
Dependencies are not transpiled by babel as default. `babel-loader`
ignores all files inside `node_modules`.
Not using it may allow packages using newer JavaScript (such as ES6) to
cause unintended crashed on older browsers.
This configuration is the default in projects created by newer versions
of Vue CLI.
- Fix revert logic deleting the service instead of enabling it.
- Use unified "DisableService" function to improve enable/disable logic.
- Separate disabling of service from opting out.
- Add documentation reference.
Increase performance by only notifying GUI about changes in selection
when there really is a change. It removes extra processing from all
event listeners that act on selection state change.
Rename service to its newer name. Mention breaking behavior in its name
and add more documentation.
Unrecommended from "Standard" pool because it breaks a lot of
functionality, but still recomended in "Stricts" because it's used to
identify personal information that leads to less privacy.
- Use function abstractions (such as map, reduce, filter etc.) over
for-of loops to gain benefits of having less side effects and easier
readability.
- Enable `downLevelIterations` for writing modern code with lazy evaluation.
- Refactor for of loops to named abstractions to clearly express their
intentions without needing to analyse the loop itself.
- Add missing cases for changes that had no tests.
It prevents Git from modifying files on checkout. By default, it
converts LF line-endings to CRLF on Windows which leads to inconsistency
and ESLint `linebreak-style` with `unix` (LF) value to fail.
It also solves failed builds in GitHub actions agents actions/checkout#135.
Major refactoring using ESLint with rules from AirBnb and Vue.
Enable most of the ESLint rules and do necessary linting in the code.
Also add more information for rules that are disabled to describe what
they are and why they are disabled.
Allow logging (`console.log`) in test files, and in development mode
(e.g. when working with `npm run serve`), but disable it when
environment is production (as pre-configured by Vue). Also add flag
(`--mode production`) in `lint:eslint` command so production linting is
executed earlier in lifecycle.
Disable rules that requires a separate work. Such as ESLint rules that
are broken in TypeScript: no-useless-constructor (eslint/eslint#14118)
and no-shadow (eslint/eslint#13014).
Upgrade to v5.x using `vue upgrade --next`.
Update `vue.config.js` to import and use `defineConfig`, because it
provides type safety and created by Vue CLI 5 as default.
Vue CLI 5.x upgrades from webpack 4 to 5. It causes some issues that this
commit attemps to fix:
1. Fail due to webpack resolving of Ace.
Third-party dependency (code editor) Ace uses legacy `file-loader`
for webpack resolving. It's not supported in webpack 5. So change it
with manual imports.
Refs: ajaxorg/ace-builds#211, ajaxorg/ace-builds#221.
2. Wehpack drops polyfilling node core modules (`path`, `fs`, etc.).
Webpack does not polyfill those modules by default anymore. This is
good because they did not need browser polyfilling as they are
used in desktop version only and resolved already by Electron.
To resolve errors (using webpack recommendations):
- Add typeof check around `process` variable.
- Tell webpack explicitly to ignore used node modules.
3. Fail due to legacy dependency of vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder.
This plugin is used for electron builds and development. It still
uses webpack 4 that leads to failed builds.
Downgrading `ts-loader` to latest version which has support for
`loader-utils` solves the problem (typestrong/ts-loader#1288).
Related issue: nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1625
4. Compilation fails due to webpack loading of `fsevents` on macOS.
This happens only when running `vue-cli-service test:unit` command
(used in integration tests and unit tests). Other builds work fine.
Refs: yan-foto/electron-reload#71,
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#712,
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1333
Run quality checks for every possible OS because behavior of linting
rules may change per OS (e.g. `linebreak-style` ESLint assertment varies
by Unix-like vs Windows).
Add a new check to ensure project can be built:
1. As both web and desktop applications.
Different jobs are used due to nonidentical environment/mode support.
Reference: nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1627.
2. Targeting all possible modes.
The modes are configured using `--mode` but electron CLI checks
`NODE_ENV` so it's set as well.
Reference: nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1626.
3. On and for different operating systems.
Fix typo "Run units" instead of "Run unit tests".
Link to specific GitHub actions page for workflow runs.
Update documentation to match new structure, and change nontransparent
icons from the diagram and consistently use imperative for actions.
Rename `release-site` , `release-git`, `release-desktop` to
`site-release` , `git-release` and `desktop-release` to not be Yoda.
TSLint deprecated and is being replaced by ESLint.
Add Vue CLI plugin (@vue/cli-plugin-eslint) using:
`vue add @vue/cli-plugin-eslint`. It also adds `.eslintrc.js` manually
for Cypress since Vue CLI for ESLint misses it (vuejs/vue-cli#6892).
Also rename `npm run lint:vue` to `npm run lint:eslint` for better
clarification.
This commit disables all rules that the current code is not compliant
with. This allows for enabling them gradually and separating commits
instead of mixing ESLint introduction with other code changes.
AirBnb is chosen as base configuration.
"Standard" is not chosen due to its poor defaults. It makes code cleaner
but harder to maintain:
- It converts interfaces to types which is harder to read.
- Removes semicolons that helps to eliminate some ambigious code.
"Airbnb" on the other hand helps for easier future changes and
maintinability:
- Includes more useful rules.
- Keeps the semicolons and interfaces.
- Enforces trailing commas that makes it easier to delete lines later on.
- Delete branches: standard, prettier.
Using more granular interfaces adds to expressiveness of the code.
Knowing what needs to mutate the state explicitly helps easier
understanding of the code and therefore increases the maintainability.
- Seperate test pipeline into E2E, integration and unit test pipelines.
- Improve documenetation for pipelines (ci-cd.md).
- Introduce naming convention for worklow files and names.
- Center badges with multiple files on README file.
Removing Cloud Experience Host has caused many unexpected issues
for users (see #99, #64, #67). It's now excluded from "Strict"
recommendation pool until a better warning mechanism is implemented.
- Fix test cases not running for desktop OS detection.
- Fixes application throwing error when user agent is undefined.
- Refactor by making os property optional in Environment to explicit
describe its potential undefined state.
- Add more script documentation in code and reference URLs.
- Unrecommend as "Standard" recommend as "Strict" due to lack of
documentation for its privacy intrusive behavior.
- Add mising WpnUserService for disabling it completely.
- Improve error messages with cause of the problem and suggested solution.
- Document:
* Disabling `WinDefend` breaks `Set-MpPreference` and Microsoft Store
(as reported in #104).
* Document services that `netsh advfirewall` depends on.
- Fix some bad whitespace character in documentation.
Refactor, unify and improve the logic to to start/stop and
enable/disable services, and also add more documentation.
Rework functions:
- Unify way of disabling Windows services using templating.
- Capitalize as `startupMode` (where startup is single word) everywhere.
- Use also text parameters (automatic, manual..) instead of numeric
values (2,3...) when providing parameters to any service disable
function.
Improve documentation:
- Add reference URLs about disabled services.
- Add more code documentation for querying status and allowed values.
Logic improvements include:
- Check if service is running before stopping/starting the service.
- Do not start the service it's not an Automatic service.
- Check whether service is already disabled.
- When reverting, start the service if it has Automatic startup. But
do not start the service it has different startup (e.g. manual).
Also starts the service even though start up is configured as
desired (before it quit before doing service start).
Improve outputs (logs):
- Remove false-positive error messages.
- When a service cannot be stopped/start; mention in output that the
service will be started/stopped after reboot.
- Show success message once service is enabled/disabled.
- Fix reboot messages when enabling/disabling services,
- Do not write stderr if service cannot be stopped/started as it's not
not the main goal of the function.
Add missing revert code for the ones missing them:
- Disable diagnostics telemetry
- Disable Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
> Function: DisableServiceInRegistry
- Fix not exitting if service does not exist when reverting
- Show success message once service is enabled/disabled
- Fix double "Enabled.." messages
- Fix unintended registry addition
> Function: DisablePerUserService
- Change implementation to call DisableServiceInRegistry.
- Fix both services are skipped if one of them fails.
- Fix reverting a service sets wrong startup mode.
German edition of Windows returns German output for `schtasks.exe`
commands. So checking for "Running" fails immediately as reported #104.
Revert recent change from using `Get-ScheduledTask` and
`Unregister-ScheduledTask` to `schtasks.exe`. Also remove unused
`$powershellFile` variable.
- Fix reverting "Disable SQM OS key".
- Fix applying "Disable Visual Studio Code data collection" scripts.
- Fix reverting "Do not show recently used files in Quick Access".
- Add unit tests for automatically checking similar issues in future.
- Refactor to use `Set-MpPreference` in a function instead.
- Better support for both Windows and Windows 11 with platform-specific
logic, due to poor `Remove-MpPreference` used in Windows 10:
* Use `Remove-MpPreference` on Windows 11, but switch to
`Set-MpPreference` for some edge cases using a flag.
* Use `Set-MpPreference` on Windows 10 by default, and use
`Remove-MpPreference` for only small amount of cases where it is
supported.
- Set default value instead of `Remove-MpPreference` on Windows 10 when
it does not work as expected.
- Improve error messages when:
* Command name (cmdlet) is not supported
* Command parameter is not support
* Failing due to Defender service not working
* Argument is not supported (e.g. for 'Broad')
- Skip if a parameter or argument is not supported instead of failing.
- Set OS defaults when using `Set-MpPreference` when `Remove-MpPreference`
does not set the OS defaults.
- Skip setting the setting if it already is as desired.
- Remove redundant scripts in "Disable remediation actions" setting
`LowThreatDefaultAction`, `ModerateThreatDefaultAction`,
`HighThreatDefaultAction` and `SevereThreatDefaultAction`. As they are
all controlled by and limited to value of `UnknownThreatDefaultAction`.
- Fix registry policies not matching cmdlet behavior:
> CheckForSignaturesBeforeRunningScan
> SignatureUpdateCatchupInterval
- Fix reverting registry policies (`reg delete` command and error
output):
> Disable Malicious Software Reporting tool diagnostic data
> Turn off block at first sight
- Fix DisableCatchupQuickScan MpPreference command being in wrong
category by moving it to its right category and adding its correct
equivalent.
- Add more documentation.
- Use `main.scss` instead of importing components individually. This
improves productivity without compilation errors due to missing
imports and allows for easier future file/folder changes and
refactorings inside `./styles`.
- Use partials with underscored naming. Because it documents that the
files should not be individually imported.
- Introduce `third-party-extensions` folder to group styles that
overwrites third party components.
- Refactor variable names from generic to specific.
- Use Sass modules (`@use` and `@forward`) over depreciated `@import`
syntax.
- Separate font assets from Sass files (`styles/`). Create `assets/`
folder that will contain both.
- Create `_globals.css` for global styling of common element instead of
using `App.vue`.
Change behavior of registry reverting from adding default value to
removing value that overrides. It then leaves the system in cleaner
state, removes "managed by your organization" warning, and makes the
scripts more future-proof providing compatibility with Microsoft patches
updating the defaults. This is implemented by using `reg delete` over
`reg add` and `Remove-MpPreference` over `Set-MpPreference`.
> Disable Windows Defender Scheduled Scan task
Surpress the error when reverting the script as the task may not exist
in some Windows versions.
> Limit catch-up security intelligence (signature) updates
Change to "Disable" instead of "Limit", and bring back its revert code.
Fix reverting of following scripts setting non-default values:
> Turn off Windows Defender SpyNet reporting

Add more documentation for MpPreference module:
- Add more reference URLs
- Add status query as documentation
- Add information regarding default values
- Describe meaning of enumeration values
- Document commands not doing expected in Windows 11
- Fix errors (stderr stream) not being logged.
- Use `schtasks /delete` instead of `Unregister-ScheduledTask` as
PowerShell command sometimes fail for existing tasks.
- Refactor to use `-TaskName` to explicit describe parameter, and use
linebreaks for `Register-ScheduledTask` call with many parameters.
This GitHub action enforces IPv4 for all outgoing network requests. It addresses connectivity issues encountered in GitHub runners, where IPv6 requests may lead to timeouts due to the lack of IPv6 support [1] [2].
## Background
Some applications attempt network connections over IPv6.
Such as requests made by Node's `fetch` API causes `UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT` [3] [4] and similar issues [5].
This happens when the software cannot handle this such as by using Happy Eyeballs [6] [7].
## Usage
To use this action in your GitHub workflow, add the following step before any job that requires network access:
```yaml
- name:Enforce IPv4 Connectivity
uses:./.github/actions/force-ipv4
```
## Note
This action is a workaround addressing specific IPv6-related connectivity issues on GitHub runners and may not be necessary if GitHub's infrastructure evolves to fully support IPv6 in the future.

Love your input ❤️! Contributing to this project should be as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:
-reporting a bug,
-discussing the current state of the code,
-submitting a fix,
-proposing new features,
- or becoming a maintainer.
As a small open source project with small community, it can sometimes take a long time to address the issues so please be patient.
## Pull request process
- [GitHub flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html) with [GitOps](./img/architecture/gitops.png) is used
- Your pull requests are actively welcomed.
-The steps:
1. Fork the repo and create your branch from master.
2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
4. Ensure the test suite passes.
5. Make sure your code lints.
6. Issue that pull request!
- 🙏 DO
- Document your changes in the pull request
- ❗ DON'T
- Do not update the versions, current version is only [set by the maintainer](./img/architecture/gitops.png) and updated automatically by [bump-everywhere](https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere)
Your pull requests are actively welcomed. We collaborate using [GitHub flow](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/github-flow).
The steps:
1. Fork the repository and create your branch from `master`.
2. If you've added code that requires testing, add tests. See [tests.md](./docs/tests.md).
3. If you've done a major change, update the documentation. See [docs/](./docs/).
4. Ensure the test suite passes. See [development.md | Testing](./docs/development.md#testing) for commands.
5. Make sure your code lints.See [development.md | Linting](./docs/development.md#linting) for commands.
6. Issue that pull request!
**🙏 DO:**
- Document why (what you're trying to solve) rather than what in the pull request.
**❗ DON'T:**
- Do not update the versions, current version is [set by the maintainer](./docs/ci-cd.md#gitops) and updated automatically by [bump-everywhere](https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere).
Automated pipelines will run to control your PR and they will publish your code once the maintainer merges your PR.
📖 You can read more in [ci-cd.md](./docs/ci-cd.md).
## Extend scripts
If you're interested in adding new scripts to privacy.sexy:
1. Read [guidelines for a good script](./docs/script-guidelines.md)
2. Choose one of two ways to contribute:
1. [Create an issue](https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/issues/new/choose) requesting the addition of a new script. This allows other contributors to develop and add it for you. This will take longer time.
2. Submit a pull request with your script. This is the faster route to seeing your script included in the project. Add your scripts to the appropriate OS directory in the [collections](src/application/collections/) (for syntax guidance, see [collection-files.md](docs/collection-files.md)) folder, and follow the [pull request process](#pull-request-process).
## Commit conventions
- Adhere to the 50/72 rule:
- Commit titles should not exceed 50 characters.
- Limit description lines to 72 characters, except for code blocks or inline codes.
- Avoid including delta (such as `git diff` information) or a list of changed files in the commit message. This information is redundant as it's already part of the commit.
- Focus on explaining the WHY and HOW of the changes, rather than WHAT changes are.
- Begin the commit message with a concise summary of what the commit accomplishes.
- Use imperative language in the commit title. For example, use "add" instead of "added".
- Commit prefixes:
- Prefix bug fixes with `fix:` or `Fix ...`.
- For commits affecting scripts of specific operating systems:
- Prefix the commit title with an OS-specific tag such as `win:` for Windows scripts, `mac:` for macOS scripts, and `linux:` for Linux scripts.
- Combine prefixes for commits affecting more than one operating system, e.g., `win, mac: ...`.
## Versioning
We base versioning on the release's content rather than strictly following semantic versioning.
There are two main types of releases:
1.**Patch Releases:** These focus on minor UI improvements, bug fixes, refactorings, dependency updates, and documentation updates. For scripts, they involve adjusting recommendation levels, enhancing functionality, and dividing scripts for more precise control. Patch releases may ship minor feature additions if they are essential for fixing a bug. For these updates, we increment the patch number in the `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`.
2.**Feature Releases:** These releases bring significant updates that change how users interact with privacy.sexy. They include major UI enhancements, the introduction of new scripts, and features. For these updates, we increment the minor number in the `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`.
Maintainers tag specific commits with a version number to trigger a release, and [bump-everywhere](https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere) automates the release process including updating version numbers throughout the project.

## Security
Security is a top priority at privacy.sexy.
An extensive commitment to security verification ensures this priority.
For any security concerns or vulnerabilities, please consult the [Security Policy](./SECURITY.md).
Please report any discovered vulnerabilities responsibly.
## Reporting a Vulnerability
Efforts to responsibly disclose findings are greatly appreciated. To report a security vulnerability, follow these steps:
- For general vulnerabilities, [open an issue](https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/issues/new/choose) using the bug report template.
- For sensitive matters, [contact the developer directly](https://undergroundwires.dev).
## Security Report Handling
Upon receiving a security report, the process involves:
- Confirming the report and identifying affected components.
- Assessing the impact and severity of the issue.
- Fixing the vulnerability and planning a release to address it.
- Keeping the reporter informed about progress.
## Security Practices
### Application Security
privacy.sexy adopts a defense in depth strategy to protect users on multiple layers:
- **Link Protection:**
privacy.sexy ensures each external link has special attributes for your privacy and security.
These attributes block the new site from accessing the privacy.sexy page, increasing your online safety and privacy.
- **Content Security Policies (CSP):**
privacy.sexy actively follows security guidelines from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) at strictest level.
This approach protects against attacks like Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection.
- **Host System Access Control:**
The desktop application segregates and isolates code sections based on their access levels through sandboxing.
This provides a critical defense mechanism, prevents attackers from introducing harmful code into the app, known as injection attacks.
- **Auditing and Transparency:**
The desktop application improves security and transparency by logging application activities and retaining files of executed scripts
This facilitates detailed auditability and effective troubleshooting, contributing to the integrity and reliability of the application.
Recognizing that some users prefer not to keep these records, privacy.sexy provides specialized scripts for deletion of these logs.
- **Privilege Management:**
The desktop application operates without persistent administrative or `sudo` privileges, reinforcing its security posture. It requests
elevation of privileges for system modifications with explicit user consent and logs every action taken with high privileges. This
approach actively minimizes potential security risks by limiting privileged operations and aligning with the principle of least privilege.
- **Secure Script Execution/Storage:**
- **Antivirus scans:**
Before executing any script, the desktop application stores a copy to allow antivirus software to perform scans.
This step allows confirming that the scripts are secure and safe to use.
- **Tamper protection:**
The application incorporates integrity checks for tamper protection.
If the script file differs from the user's selected script, the application will not execute or save the script, ensuring the processing
of authentic scripts.
This safeguards against any unwanted modifications.
- **Clean-up:**
Recognizing that some users prefer not to keep these records, privacy.sexy provides specialized scripts for deletion of these scripts.
This allows users to maintain their privacy by removing traces of their usage patterns or script preferences.
### Update Security and Integrity
privacy.sexy benefits from automated update processes including security tests. Automated deployments from source code ensure immediate and secure updates, mirroring the latest source code. This aligns the deployed application with the expected source code, enhancing transparency and trust. For more details, see [CI/CD Documentation](./docs/ci-cd.md).
Every desktop update undergoes a thorough verification process. Updates are cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity and integrity, preventing tampered versions from reaching your device. Version checks are conducted to prevent downgrade attacks.
### Testing
privacy.sexy's testing approach includes a mix of automated and community-driven tests.
Details on testing practices are available in the [Testing Documentation](./docs/tests.md).

Active contribution to the safety and security of privacy.sexy is thanked. This collaborative effort keeps the project resilient and trustworthy for all.
-[**`Common/`**](./../src/application/Common/): Contains common functionality in application layer.
-`...`: rest of the application layer source code organized using folders-by-feature structure.
## Application state
- [ApplicationContext.ts](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts) holds the [CategoryCollectionState](./../src/application/Context/State/CategoryCollectionState.ts) for each OS
- Same instance is shared throughout the application to ensure consistent state
- 📖 See [Application State | Presentation layer](./presentation.md#application-state) to read more about how the state should be managed by the presentation layer.
- 📖 See [ApplicationContext.ts](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts) to start diving into the state code.
It uses [state pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_pattern) with context and state objects. [`ApplicationContext.ts`](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts) the "Context" of state pattern provides an instance of [`CategoryCollectionState.ts`](./../src/application/Context/State/CategoryCollectionState.ts) (the "State" of the state pattern) for every supported collection.
Presentation layer uses a singleton (same instance of) [`ApplicationContext.ts`](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts) throughout the application to ensure consistent state.
📖 Refer to [architecture.md | Application State](./architecture.md#application-state) to get an overview of event handling and [presentation.md | Application State](./presentation.md#application-state) for deeper look into how the presentation layer manages state.
## Application data
- Compiled to [`Application`](./../src/domain/Application.ts) domain object.
- The scripts are defined and controlled in different data files per OS
- Enables [data-driven programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven_programming) and easier contributions
- Application data is defined in collection files and
- 📖 See [Application data | Presentation layer](./presentation.md#application-data) to read how the application data is read by the presentation layer.
- 📖 See [collection files documentation](./collection-files.md) to read more about how the data files are structured/defined and see [collection yaml files](./../src/application/collections/) to directly check the code.
Application data is collection files using YAML. You can refer to [collection-files.md](./collection-files.md) to read more about the scheme and structure of application data files. You can also check the source code [collection yaml files](./../src/application/collections/) to directly see the application data using that scheme.
## Parsing
Application layer [parses and compiles](#parsing-and-compiling) application data into [`Application`](./../src/domain/Application.ts)). Once parsed, application layer provides the necessary functionality to presentation layer based on the application data. You can read more about how presentation layer consumes the application data in [presentation.md | Application Data](./presentation.md#application-data).
-Application data is parsed to domain object [`Application.ts`](./../src/domain/Application.ts)
- Steps
1. (Compile time) Load application data from [collection yaml files](./../src/application/collections/) using webpack loader
2. (Runtime) Parse and compile application and make it available to presentation layer by [`ApplicationFactory.ts`](./../src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts)
Application layer enables [data-driven programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven_programming) by leveraging the data to the rest of the source code. It makes it easy for community to contribute on the project by using a declarative language used in collection files.
### Compiling
### Parsing and compiling
- Parsing the application files includes compiling scripts using [collection file defined functions](./collection-files.md#function)
- To extend the syntax:
1. Add a new parser under [SyntaxParsers](./../src/application/Parser/Script/Compiler/Expressions/SyntaxParsers) where you can look at other parsers to understand more.
2. Register your in [CompositeExpressionParser](./../src/application/Parser/Script/Compiler/Expressions/Parser/CompositeExpressionParser.ts)
Application layer parses the application data to compile the domain object [`Application.ts`](./../src/domain/Application.ts).
The build tool loads (or injects) application data ([collection yaml files](./../src/application/collections/)) into the application layer in compile time. Application layer ([`ApplicationFactory.ts`](./../src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts)) parses and compiles this data in runtime.
Application layer compiles templating syntax during parsing to create the end scripts. You can read more about templating syntax in [templating.md](./templating.md) and how application data uses them through functions in [collection-files.md | Function](./collection-files.md#function).
The steps to extend the templating syntax:
1. Add a new parser under [SyntaxParsers](./../src/application/Parser/Script/Compiler/Expressions/SyntaxParsers) where you can look at other parsers to understand more.
2. Register your in [CompositeExpressionParser](./../src/application/Parser/Script/Compiler/Expressions/Parser/CompositeExpressionParser.ts).
State handling uses an event-driven subscription model to signal state changes and special functions to register changes. It does not depend on third party packages.
The presentation layer can read and modify state through the context. State changes trigger events that components can subscribe to for reactivity.
Each layer treat application layer differently.

*[Presentation layer](./presentation.md)*:
- Each component holds their own state about presentation-related data.
- Components register shared state changes into application state using functions.
- Components listen to shared state changes using event subscriptions.
- The state it exposed for read with getter functions and set using setter functions, setter functions also fire application events that allows other parts of application and the view in presentation layer to react.
- So state is mutable, and fires related events when mutated.
It's comparable with `flux`, `vuex`, and `pinia`. A difference is that mutable application layer state in privacy.sexy is mutable and lies in single "store" that holds app state and logic. The "actions" mutate the state directly which in turns act as dispatcher to notify its own event subscriptions (callbacks).
## AWS infrastructure
The web-site runs on serverless AWS infrastructure. Infrastructure is open-source and deployed as code. [aws-static-site-with-cd](https://github.com/undergroundwires/aws-static-site-with-cd) project includes the source code.
The design priorities highest security then minimizing cloud infrastructure costs.
This project includes [GitHub Actions](../.github/workflows/) to automatically provision the infrastructure with zero-touch and without any "hidden" steps, ensuring everything is open-source and transparent. Git repositories includes all necessary instructions and automation with [GitOps](#gitops) practices.
## GitOps
CI/CD pipelines automate operational tasks based on different Git events. [bump-everywhere](https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere) enables this automation.
📖 Read more in [`ci-cd.md`](./ci-cd.md#gitops).
[](../.github/workflows/)
CI/CD is fully automated using different Git events and GitHub actions. This repository uses [bump-everywhere](https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere) to automate versioning, tagging, creation of `CHANGELOG.md` and GitHub releases. A dedicated workflow [release.desktop.yaml](./../.github/workflows/release.desktop.yaml) creates desktop installers and executables and attaches them into GitHub releases.
Everything that's merged in the master goes directly to production.
[](../.github/workflows/)
## Pipeline files
privacy.sexy uses [GitHub actions](https://github.com/features/actions) to define and run pipelines as code.
GitHub workflows i.e. pipelines exist in [`/.github/workflows/`](./../.github/workflows/) folder without any subfolders due to GitHub actions requirements [1] .
Local GitHub actions are defined in [`/.github/actions/`](./../.github/actions/) and used to reuse same workflow steps.
## Pipeline types
We categorize pipelines into different categories. We use these names in convention when naming files and actions, see [naming conventions](#naming-conventions).
The categories consist of:
-`tests`: Different types of tests to verify functionality.
-`checks`: Other controls such as vulnerability scans or styling checks.
-`release`: Pipelines used for release of deployment such as building and testing.
## Naming conventions
Convention for naming pipeline files: **`<type>.<name>.yaml`**.
**`type`**:
- Sub-folders do not work for GitHub workflows [1] so we use `<type>.` prefix to organize them.
- See also [pipeline types](#pipeline-types) for list of all usable types.
**`name`**:
- We name workflows using kebab-case.
- E.g. file name `tests.unit.yaml`, pipeline file should set the naem as: `name: unit-tests`.
- Kebab-case allows to have better URL references to them.
- [README.md](./../README.md) uses URL references to show status badges for actions.
-privacy.sexy is a data-driven application where it reads the necessary OS-specific logic from yaml files in [`application/collections`](./../src/application/collections/)
- 💡 Best practices
- If you repeat yourself, try to utilize [YAML-defined functions](#Function)
- Always try to add documentation and a way to revert a tweak in [scripts](#Script)
- 📖 Types in code: [`collection.yaml.d.ts`](./../src/application/collections/collection.yaml.d.ts)
privacy.sexy is a data-driven application that reads YAML files.

- Install dependencies using `npm install` (or [`npm run install-deps`](#utility-scripts) for more options).
- For Visual Studio Code users, running the configuration script is recommended to optimize the IDE settings, as detailed in [utility scripts](#utility-scripts).
### Testing
- Run unit tests: `npm run test:unit`
- Run integration tests: `npm run test:integration`
- Run end-to-end (e2e) tests:
-`npm run test:cy:open`: Run tests interactively using the development server with hot-reloading.
-`npm run test:cy:run`: Run tests on the production build in a headless mode.
- Run checks:
-`npm run check:desktop`: Run runtime checks for packaged desktop applications ([README.md](./../tests/checks/desktop-runtime-errors/check-desktop-runtime-errors/README.md)).
- You can set environment variables active its flags such as `BUILD=true SCREENSHOT=true npm run check:desktop`
-`npm run check:external-urls`: Test whether external URLs used in applications are alive.
📖 Read more about testing in [tests](./tests.md).
### Linting
- Lint all (recommended 💡): `npm run lint`
- Markdown: `npm run lint:md`
- Markdown consistency `npm run lint:md:consistency`
- Markdown relative URLs: `npm run lint:md:relative-urls`
- JavaScript/TypeScript: `npm run lint:eslint`
- Yaml: `npm run lint:yaml`
### Running
**Web:**
- Run in local server: `npm run dev`
- 💡 Meant for local development with features such as hot-reloading.
- Preview production build: `npm run preview`
- Start a local web server that serves the built solution from `./dist`.
- 💡 Run `npm run build` before `npm run preview`.
**Desktop apps:**
-`npm run electron:dev`: The command will build the main process and preload scripts source code, and start a dev server for the renderer, and start the Electron app.
-`npm run electron:preview`: The command will build the main process, preload scripts and renderer source code, and start the Electron app to preview.
-`npm run electron:prebuild`: The command will build the main process, preload scripts and renderer source code. Usually before packaging the Electron application, you need to execute this command.
-`npm run electron:build`: Prebuilds the Electron application, packages and publishes it through `electron-builder`.
- Consists of Vue.js components and other UI-related code.
- Desktop application is created using [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/).
- Event driven as in components simply listens to events from the state and act accordingly.
The presentation layer handles UI concerns using Vue as JavaScript framework and Electron to provide desktop functionality.
It reflects the [application state](./application.md#application-state) and allows user interactions to modify it. Components manage their own local UI state.
The presentation layer uses an event-driven architecture for bidirectional reactivity between the application state and UI. State change events flow bottom-up to trigger UI updates, while user events flow top-down through components, some ultimately modifying the application state.
📖 Refer to [architecture.md (Layered Application)](./architecture.md#layered-application) to read more about the layered architecture.

## Visual design best-practices
- **Clickables**:
Add visual clues for clickable items.
It should be as clear as possible that they're interactable at first look without hovering.
They should also have different visual state when hovering/touching on them that indicates that they are being clicked, which helps with accessibility.
- **Borders**:
privacy.sexy prefers sharper edges in its design language.
- **Fonts**:
- Use the primary font for regular text and monospace font for code or specific data.
- Use cursive and logo fonts solely for branding.
- Refer to [standardized font size variables](../src/presentation/assets/styles/_typography.scss) for font sizing, avoiding arbitrary `px`, `em`, `rem`, or percentage values.
- **Spacing**:
Use [global spacing variables](../src/presentation/assets/styles/_spacing.scss) for consistent margin, padding, and gap definitions.
This provides uniform spatial distribution and alignment of elements, enhancing visual harmony and making the UI more scalable and maintainable.
## Application data
-Components and should use [ApplicationFactory](./../src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts) singleton to reach the application domain.
- [Application.ts](../src/domain/Application.ts) domain model is the stateless application representation including
- available scripts, collections as defined in [collection files](./collection-files.md)
- package information as defined in [`package.json`](./../package.json)
-📖 See [Application data | Application layer](./presentation.md#application-data) where application data is parsed and compiled.
Components (should) use [`UseApplication`](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/Hooks/UseApplication.ts) to reach the application domain to avoid [parsing and compiling](./application.md#parsing-and-compiling) the application again.
[Application.ts](../src/domain/Application.ts) is an immutable domain model that represents application state. It includes:
-available scripts, collections as defined in [collection files](./collection-files.md),
- package information as defined in [`package.json`](./../package.json).
You can read more about how application layer provides application data to he presentation in [application.md | Application data](./application.md#application-data).
## Application state
- Stateful components mutate or/and react to state changes in [ApplicationContext](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts).
- Stateless components that does not handle state extends `Vue`
- Stateful components that depends on the collection state such as user selection, search queries and more extends [`StatefulVue`](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/StatefulVue.ts)
- The single source of truth is a singleton of the state created and made available to presentation layer by [`StatefulVue`](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/StatefulVue.ts)
-`StatefulVue` includes abstract `handleCollectionState` that is fired once the component is loaded and also each time [collection](./collection-files.md) is changed.
- Do not forget to subscribe from events when component is destroyed or if needed [collection](./collection-files.md) is changed.
- 💡 `events` in base class [`StatefulVue`](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/StatefulVue.ts) makes lifecycling easier
- 📖 See [Application state | Application layer](./presentation.md#application-state) where the state is implemented using using state pattern.
This project uses a singleton instance of the application state, making it available to all Vue components.
## Modals
The decision to not use third-party state management libraries like [`vuex`](https://web.archive.org/web/20230801191617/https://vuex.vuejs.org/) or [`pinia`](https://web.archive.org/web/20230801191743/https://pinia.vuejs.org/) was made to promote code independence and enhance portability.
- [Dialog.vue](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/Dialog.vue) is a shared component that can be used to show modal windows
- Simply wrap the content inside of its slot and call `.show()` method on its reference.
- Example:
Stateful components can mutate and/or react to state changes (e.g., user selection, search queries) in the [ApplicationContext](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts). Vue components import [`CollectionState.ts`](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/Hooks/UseCollectionState.ts) to access both the application context and the state.
[`UseCollectionState.ts`](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/Hooks/UseCollectionState.ts) provides several functionalities including:
- **Singleton State Instance**: It creates a singleton instance of the state, which is shared across the presentation layer. The singleton instance ensures that there's a single source of truth for the application's state.
- **State Change Callback and Lifecycle Management**: It offers a mechanism to register callbacks, which will be invoked when the state initializes or mutates. It ensures that components unsubscribe from state events when they are no longer in use or when [ApplicationContext](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts) switches the active [collection](./collection-files.md).
- **State Access and Modification**: It provides functions to read and mutate for accessing and modifying the state, encapsulating the details of these operations.
- **Event Subscription Lifecycle Management**: Includes an `events` member that simplifies state subscription lifecycle events. This ensures that components unsubscribe from state events when they are no longer in use, or when [ApplicationContext](./../src/application/Context/ApplicationContext.ts) switches the active [collection](./collection-files.md).
📖 Refer to [architecture.md | Application State](./architecture.md#application-state) for an overview of event handling and [application.md | Application State](./presentation.md#application-state) for an in-depth understanding of state management in the application layer.
## Dependency injections
The presentation layer uses Vue's native dependency injection system to increase testability and decouple components.
To add a new dependency:
1.**Define its symbol**: Define an associated symbol for every dependency in [`injectionSymbols.ts`](./../src/presentation/injectionSymbols.ts). Symbols are grouped into:
- **Singletons**: Shared across components, instantiated once.
- **Transients**: Factories yielding a new instance on every access.
2.**Provide the dependency**:
Modify the [`provideDependencies`](./../src/presentation/bootstrapping/DependencyProvider.ts) function to include the new dependency.
[`App.vue`](./../src/presentation/components/App.vue) calls this function within its `setup()` hook to register the dependencies.
3.**Inject the dependency**: Use `injectKey` to inject a dependency. Pass a selector function to `injectKey` that retrieves the appropriate symbol from the provided dependencies.
- Example usage: `injectKey((keys) => keys.useCollectionState)`;
## Shared UI components
Shared UI components ensure consistency and streamline front-end development.
We use homegrown components over third-party solutions or comprehensive UI frameworks like Quasar to maintain portability and easy maintenance.
- [TooltipWrapper.vue](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/TooltipWrapper.vue): Provides tooltip functionality for improved information accessibility.
- [FlatButton.vue](./../src/presentation/components/Shared/FlatButton.vue): Creates flat-style buttons for a unified and consistent user interface.
## Desktop builds
Desktop builds uses `electron-vite` to bundle the code, and `electron-builder` to build and publish the packages.
Host system access is strictly controlled. The [`preloader`](./../src/presentation/electron/preload/) isolates logic that interacts with the host system. These functionalities are then securely exposed to the renderer process (Vue application) using context-bridging. [`ApiContextBridge.ts`](./../src/presentation/electron/preload/ContextBridging/ApiContextBridge.ts) handles the configuration of the exposed APIs, ensuring a secure bridge between the Electron and Vue layers.
## Styles
### Style location
- **Global styles**: The [`assets/styles/`](#structure) directory is reserved for styles that have a broader scope, affecting multiple components or entire layouts. They are generic and should not be tightly coupled to a specific component's functionality.
- **Component-specific styles**: Styles closely tied to a particular component's functionality or appearance should reside near the component they are used by. This makes it easier to locate and modify styles when working on a specific component.
### Sass naming convention
- Use lowercase for variables/functions/mixins, e.g.:
- Variable: `$variable: value;`
- Function: `@function function() {}`
- Mixin: `@mixin mixin() {}`
- Use - for a phrase/compound word, e.g.:
- Variable: `$some-variable: value;`
- Function: `@function some-function() {}`
- Mixin: `@mixin some-mixin() {}`
- Grouping and name variables from generic to specific, e.g.:
- Choose a title that is easy to understand for all users, regardless of technical skill, yet remains technically accurate.
- Focus on privacy implications, avoiding complex or overly technical jargon.
- Maintain consistency in naming, avoiding linguistic variations.
- Use action-oriented language for clarity and directness. Use an instruction format like "do this, do that" for clear, direct guidance.
- Respect the official casing of brand names.
- Choose clear and uncomplicated language.
- It should start with an imperative noun.
- Start with action verbs like `Clear`, `Disable`, `Remove`, `Configure`, `Minimize`, `Maximize`. While exceptions exist, these prefixes help maintain naming consistency.
- The scripts that modify hosts file should start with `Block ..`.
- Favor the terms:
-`Disable` over `Turn off`, `Stop`, `Prevent`
-`Configure` over `Set up`
-`Clear` over `Erase`, `Clean`
-`Minimize` over `Limit`, `Reduce`
-`Maximize` over `Extend`, `Delay`, `Postpone`, `Prolong`
-`Remove` over `Uninstall`
-`Improve` over `Increase`
- Structure your phrases for clarity, examples:
- Prefer `Disable XX telemetry` over `Disable telemetry in XX`
- Prefer `Clear XX data` over `Clear data from XX`, or `Clear data of XX`.
- Use sentence case rather than Title Case.
## Documentation
- Use credible and reputable sources for references.
- Use archived links by using [archive.org](https://archive.org) or [archive.ph](https://archive.ph).
- Format archive.today links fully, for example: `https://archive.ph/YYYYMMDDhhmmss/https://privacy.sexy`.
- Explain the default behavior if the script is not executed.
## Shared functions
Use existing shared functions when possible, like `DisableService` for disabling services,.
- 📖 Learn about templates in [templating.md](./templating.md).
- 📖 For syntax, see [collection-files.md](collection-files.md).
It supports multiline text inside the block. You can write something like:
```go
{{with$argument}}
Firstline
Secondline
{{end}}
```
**Inner expressions:**
You can also embed other expressions inside its block, such as [parameter substitution](#parameter-substitution):
```go
{{with$condition}}
Thisisadifferentparameter:{{$text}}
{{end}}
```
This also includes nesting `with` statements:
```go
{{with$condition1}}
Valueof$condition1:{{.}}
{{with$condition2}}
Valueof$condition2:{{.}}
{{end}}
{{end}}
```
### Pipes
- Pipes are set of functions available for handling text in privacy.sexy.
- Allows stacking actions one after another also known as "chaining".
- Just like [Unix pipelines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)), the concept is simple: each pipeline's output becomes the input of the following pipe.
- Pipes are provided and defined by the compiler and consumed by collection files.
- Pipes can be combined with [parameter substitution](#parameter-substitution) and [with](#with).
- ❗ Pipe names must be camelCase without any space or special characters.
- **Existing pipes**
- `inlinePowerShell`: Converts a multi-lined PowerShell script to a single line.
- `escapeDoubleQuotes`: Escapes `"` characters to be used inside double quotes (`"`)
- **Example usages**
- `{{ with $code }} echo "{{ . | inlinePowerShell }}" {{ end }}`
- `{{ with $code }} echo "{{ . | inlinePowerShell | escapeDoubleQuotes }}" {{ end }}`
Pipes are functions designed for text manipulation.
They allow for a sequential application of operations resembling [Unix pipelines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipeline_(Unix)), also known as "chaining".
Each pipeline's output becomes the input of the following pipe.
**Pre-defined**:
Pipes are pre-defined by the system.
You cannot create pipes in [collection files](./collection-files.md).
[A dedicated compiler](./application.md#parsing-and-compiling) provides pre-defined pipes to consume in collection files.
**Compatibility:**
You can combine pipes with other expressions such as [parameter substitution](#parameter-substitution) and [with](#with) syntax.
- 💡 You can use path/module alias `@/tests` in import statements.
There are different types of tests executed:
## Unit tests
1. [Unit tests](#unit-tests)
2. [Integration tests](#integration-tests)
3. [End-to-end (E2E) tests](#e2e-tests)
4. [Automated checks](#automated-checks)
- Tests each component in isolation
- Defined in [`./tests/unit`](./../tests/unit)
- They follow same folder structure as [`./src`](./../src)
## Unit and integration tests
### Naming
- Each test suite first describe the system under test
- E.g. tests for class `Application` is categorized under `Application`
- Tests for specific methods are categorized under method name (if applicable)
- E.g. test for `run()` is categorized under `run`
- They utilize [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/).
- Test files are suffixed with `.spec.ts`.
### Act, arrange, assert
- Tests use act, arrange and assert (AAA) pattern when applicable
- Tests implement the act, arrange, and assert (AAA) pattern.
- **Arrange**
- Should set up the test case
-Starts with comment line `// arrange`
- Sets up the test scenario and environment.
-Begins with comment line `// arrange`.
- **Act**
-Should cover the main thing to be tested
-Starts with comment line `// act`
-Executes the actual test.
-Begins with comment line `// act`.
- **Assert**
- Should elicit some sort of response
-Starts with comment line `// assert`
- Sets an expectation for the test's outcome.
-Begins with comment line `// assert`.
### Stubs
### Unit tests
-Stubs are defined in [`./tests/stubs`](./../tests/unit/stubs)
-They implement dummy behavior to be functional
-Evaluate individual components in isolation.
-Located in [`./tests/unit`](./../tests/unit).
- Achieve isolation using stubs where you place:
- Common stubs in [`./shared/Stubs`](./../tests/unit/shared/Stubs),
- Component-specific stubs in same folder as test file.
- Include Vue component tests, enabled by `@vue/test-utils`.
## Integration tests
#### Unit tests naming
- Tests functionality of a component in combination with others (not isolated)
- Ensure dependencies to third parties work as expected
-Defined in [`./tests/integration`](./../tests/integration)
- Test suites start with a description of the component or system under test.
- E.g., tests for `Application.ts` are contained in `Application.spec.ts`.
-Whenever possible, `describe` blocks group tests of the same function.
- E.g., tests for `run()` are inside `describe('run', () => ...)`.
### Integration tests
- Assess the combined functionality of components.
- They verify that third-party dependencies function as anticipated.
## E2E tests
- Examine the live web application's functionality and performance.
- Uses Cypress to run the tests.
## Automated checks
These checks validate various qualities like runtime execution, building process, security testing, etc.
- Use [various tools](./../package.json) and [scripts](./../scripts).
- Are automatically executed as [GitHub workflows](./../.github/workflows).
### Security checks
- [`checks.security.sast`](./../.github/workflows/checks.security.sast.yaml): Utilizes CodeQL to conduct Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) to ensure the secure integrity of the codebase.
- [`checks.security.dependencies`](./../.github/workflows/checks.security.dependencies.yaml): Performs audits on third-party dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, safeguarding the project from exploitable weaknesses.
