Closes #293 and #344.

Folder uploads (#293)

  • Picker: a folder button next to "Upload files" uses a webkitdirectory input.
  • Drag and drop: a dropped folder is walked with webkitGetAsEntry, reading in batches and keeping empty folders. A browser without entries falls back to the flat files, as before.
  • Upload: the tree is made with the existing createFolder, then each file goes up with the existing per-file endpoint. There is no new server route.
    • A taken folder or file name gets a number, as single files already do.
    • One failed file does not stop the rest, and a folder that cannot be made counts its files as failed.
    • "Uploading n files…" counts every file of the tree. Problems are shown, the first five plus "…and n more".
  • Names: names with .., ., a backslash or NUL are skipped on the page and never sent. The server's own path checks still apply to everything.

File sources of other extensions (#344)

  • Registration:
    • An extension that names pithagoras-files in requires or optional registers a source with portal.extensions.use("pithagoras-files").sources.register(source), and calls unregister(id) when it stops.
    • That is the existing provide/use pattern. The issue sketched it as portal.use("pithagoras-files-sources").
  • A source has id, label, list, read, and optionally url, write and visible. Without write, it is read-only.
  • Routes:
    • Each source has its own routes under /chats/:id/sources: list, read (with the since check), download, and save.
    • Each call has a 30 s timeout (504), and a failure answers 502 with the source's label.
    • A call carries { chatId, owner, person }. The owner has no folder path, and the workspace folder never reaches a source.
    • visible(ctx) decides who sees a source.
    • Download redirects to the source's url, http or https only, or sends the file.
  • Panel:
    • With a source, a tab bar shows the workspace first, then each source as its own root.
    • Each source has its own loading and error state, so a slow or failing source never blocks the workspace.
    • In a source there is no create, upload, rename, delete, archive or pin.
    • Work that finishes after you switch tabs is dropped. A review found that it could show workspace entries in a source's tab or send a workspace name to a source; browser tests now prove neither happens.
  • Version: Files is now 0.2.0, so a consumer can require ^0.2.0 for the hook.

Docs

  • docs/guide/files.md: "Upload a folder" and "Other file sources".
  • docs/guide/extension-ui.md: "Showing a file tree in Files", with an example and the rules.
  • German texts.

Checks

  • Unit tests:
    • node --import tsx --test extensions/files/test/*.test.mts tests/i18n.test.mts passes. It covers the tree planner and uploader with hostile paths, the source registry and routes, visibility, timeouts, and a real extension host with Files as the provider.
    • npm test: 2137 passed.
    • npm test -w core/server: 1621 passed.
  • Web and boundaries: cd core/web && npx tsc -b and npm run check:boundaries are clean.
  • Browser specs, under the lock: 71 passed. folder-upload.spec.mts and sources.spec.mts fail with the old panel, apart from the cases that check nothing changed.
  • Review: one round of correctness, security and spec. Two mediums (the same stale-work race) and the lows were fixed.
  • Real local portal:
    • A dropped folder with two levels of subfolders and an empty folder landed on disk at its paths.
    • A test source showed beside the workspace, read-only.
  • Not tested: a real folder dragged from the operating system, as Playwright cannot deliver one. Drop is tested with fake entries, and the picker with a real webkitdirectory input.

For the owner

  • The Nextcloud concept file Files extension: provider hook for external file sources #344 points to (pithagoras-extensions/nextcloud/CONCEPT.md §5) is not on any branch, so this follows the issue text.
  • Files goes from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 here, so requires can tell the hook apart. If version bumps should only come with a release chore, say so and it moves there.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Browse files provided by extensions alongside the chat folder. Sources can be read or downloaded, and writable sources also support saving files.
    • Upload folders by dropping them into the Files panel or selecting them in the folder picker. Nested and empty folders are supported; conflicting folder names are preserved with numbered alternatives.
    • Download chat folders as archives.
  • Documentation
    • Added guides for extension-provided file sources and folder uploads.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Work on the chat's folder that ends after a switch to a source no longer lists, opens or saves under the source. A source's open file is not
watched, a path with a way out never reaches a source, a source's context has no owner folder, problems name their path, and Files is 0.2.0.

Walkthrough

The Files extension now supports extension-provided file sources as separate roots and folder-tree uploads through folder selection or drag and drop. The changes add source registration and routes, update the panel, and add documentation and tests for both capabilities.

Changes: Extension-Provided File Sources

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source contracts and registration
extensions/files/src/sources.ts, extensions/files/src/files-api.ts, extensions/files/src/server.ts, extensions/files/package.json, docs/guide/extension-ui.md
The extension adds source interfaces, registration and visibility handling, client readers, and server setup for source routes. The guide documents registration, ownership, and source constraints. The package version changes to 0.2.0.
Source routes and request handling
extensions/files/src/server.ts, extensions/files/test/sources.test.mts, extensions/files/test/provide.test.mts
The server adds source listing, file listing, read, download, and save routes. It validates paths, limits results, applies timeouts, and maps failures to HTTP responses. Integration tests cover registration, visibility, context, and route behavior.
Source roots in the Files panel
extensions/files/src/FilesPanel.tsx, extensions/files/src/de.ts, extensions/files/test/browser/sources.spec.mts, docs/guide/files.md, docs/guide/extension-ui.md
The panel switches between the chat folder and sources and uses the selected reader for file operations. Source capabilities control editing and available actions. Browser tests cover source selection, isolated state, saving, errors, and refresh behavior. The guides describe source usage and limitations.

Folder-Tree Uploads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tree construction and upload behavior
extensions/files/src/tree.ts, extensions/files/test/tree.test.mts, docs/guide/files.md
Tree helpers build nested directories from picker paths and dropped entries. They validate names, retain empty directories, number conflicting folder names, and continue after upload failures. Tests and the guide describe these behaviors.
Folder picker and drop integration
extensions/files/src/FilesPanel.tsx, extensions/files/src/de.ts, extensions/files/test/browser/folder-upload.spec.mts
The panel uploads folder trees from picker selections and drops, tracks file progress, and reports skipped paths and upload problems. Browser tests cover nested folders, conflicts, unreadable entries, upload failures, and plain-file selection.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 344 requests extension-provided file trees in the Files panel, including separate roots and per-source loading and error states. This pull request adds source registration and displays sources as separate roots with isolated loading and error handling.

Suggested reviewers: thecodacus

Merge Risk: Low · up to acc00

The feature adds folder uploads and extension file sources. The new integration test can fail when run through the root test command on a fresh checkout, because the Files server is not built first. This affects the developer workflow only and has a simple fix, so it should be addressed before or soon after merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(files): upload whole folders, and file sources of other extensions beside the chat folder" matches the main changes in the changeset. The diff adds folder-tree uploads to the Files panel (tree.ts, FilesPanel.tsx, folder-upload tests). It also adds a SourceRegistry and source routes (sources.ts, server.ts, files-api.ts) that let other extensions register file trees beside the chat folder. The version bump to 0.2.0 and the docs updates match the title's scope. The title is long and uses two topics joined by a comma, but it describes real and primary changes in the PR.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 88.24% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 17 functions across 11 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

#293 (folder uploads): the reviewed code covers the stated coding requirements. Evidence: a folderPicker input is added next to the file picker (FilesPanel.tsx diff). Dropped entries go through droppedEntries and treeOfEntries (tree.ts), and droppedEntries returns undefined when entries are unavailable, so the flat-file fallback applies. uploadTree creates folders with api.createFolder and uploads files with api.uploadFile, which are the existing routes. Taken folder names get numbered names. Failed files do not stop later files. countFiles drives the progress counter. Browser tests in folder-upload.spec.mts and unit tests in tree.test.mts cover these cases. The browser drop test uses fake entries, not an operating-system drag, as the PR states. No #293 requirement is shown as unmet. #344 (file sources): the PR description says it closes #344, but its issue text was not supplied in linked_issues, and the objectives state that no details were provided. Its acceptance criteria cannot be checked, so the linked-issue result cannot be final.

Resolution

Supply the full text of #344 (title, description, and acceptance criteria) so the source registry, routes, and panel work can be checked against it. No code change is requested for #293.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The folder-upload changes (tree.ts, folder picker, upload flow in FilesPanel.tsx, folder-upload.spec.mts, tree.test.mts, and the #293 docs) connect directly to #293. The source changes (sources.ts, the source routes in server.ts, files-api.ts source readers, source panel tabs, sources.spec.mts, sources.test.mts, provide.test.mts, and related docs) are described by the PR as the #344 feature. Their scope cannot be judged without the #344 text. The Files version bump from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 has a stated reason in the PR description (letting requires target the hook), which connects it to the source feature. The generated summary of FilesPanel.tsx also reports 'folder archive downloads'. The PR description does not mention this, and neither #293 nor the supplied text asks for it. The truncated diff did not show that code, so it could not be verified or attributed to #293 or #344.

Resolution

Provide the #344 issue text so the source changes can be matched to its requirements. Inspect the remaining FilesPanel.tsx diff (narrowed to the archive-download hunks) to confirm whether folder archive downloads exist at the reviewed head. If they do, the author should state which linked issue requires them or remove them.

Build the Files server before running the test.

On a fresh checkout, npm test builds core/server but not extensions/files/server.js. The new test then fails because the Files server cannot start. CI builds extensions first, but the root test command does not.

Build Files before the tests

-    "test": "npm run check:boundaries && npm run build -w core/server && npm test -w core/server && node --import tsx --test --test-timeout=120000 tests/*.test.mts extensions/*/test/*.test.mts",

Owner, 2026-11-08: the Nextcloud concept file no longer exists; what it described is built in the Nextcloud extension itself. Files going to 0.2.0 in this PR is fine. The Nextcloud extension now gets updated to register its files as a source through this hook (prometheion/pithagoras-extensions, branch feature/nextcloud-files-source). It is an optional dependency, so it also works with an older Files.
