* fix(pdf): stop an unresolvable template taking the PDF route down
RealisticDemoSeeder::seedEstimate() never set template_name, while seedInvoice()
has always set invoice1. Every demo estimate therefore had '', so
findFormattedTemplate() returned null and EstimateService did $template['custom']
on it -- a 500 on the estimate PDF route, on either driver, since the exception
is thrown before a driver is reached. That is the "Unable to load document
preview" people were seeing.
The seeder now sets estimate1, but seeding was only how this surfaced. The stored
name is validated when a document is saved through the UI and nowhere else:
seeders, imports, recurring-invoice copies and rows predating that validation all
bypass it, and a template can also be deleted from disk after the fact. A name
that cannot be resolved should fall back to the default design, not take the
route down.
PdfTemplateUtils::resolveView() -- already the resolver for payment receipts and
reports -- gains an optional fallback and tries each candidate as custom then
built-in. Both document services collapse to a single call and can no longer
index null. The fallback logs a warning, so a bad name stays visible rather than
being silently swapped.
Also casts two nulls in GeneratesPdfTrait: an address line or custom field that
was never filled in reaches htmlspecialchars() and strtr() as null, which every
PDF render was emitting a deprecation for on PHP 8.4 and would be an error on 9.

* feat(pdf): a command that measures the two drivers against each other
"The PDF looks different" has been diagnosed by eye every time, because nothing
compares the renderers. Asserting on PDF bytes is useless and rendering through
Gotenberg needs a live service, so the suite has never covered it.
pdf:compare renders each stock template through both drivers and reports the
page box, page count and the bounding box of the text on page one, then flags
any template whose ink lands more than --tolerance points apart. It goes through
the real document services, so it exercises the same shared view data and
template resolution a request would.
Two things it has to get right to be honest:
Comparing designs means persisting the template choice -- InvoiceService reads it
back with Invoice::find($id)->template_name, so assigning in memory silently
compares the same design every row. The run happens inside a transaction that is
always rolled back.
Page numbers are turned off for the duration. They are a Chromium capability with
no dompdf equivalent, so leaving them on puts ink at the foot of every Gotenberg
page and drowns out every difference worth seeing -- which is exactly what the
first run of this command did.
Word positions come from poppler's pdftotext, which is on most dev machines but
not in the app container; without it the command still compares page geometry and
says what it could not check.

* fix(pdf): let the two renderers agree on the items table, and drop the shim
Two parts: the stock templates stop doing their own page margins, and the items
table stops relying on a property that does not apply to it.
Page margins. The templates carried their own via `html { margin-top: 50px }`,
which predates page setup owning them. dompdf largely collapses that margin;
Chromium honours it and adds it to the page box, so the same template came out
38px from the top on one renderer and 77px on the other. The html rule is gone
and body is reset instead, which is what makes the page box agree. Headers that
were positioned absolutely at a negative offset -- only possible because of that
margin -- are back in flow.
The items table. Every stock template sets `table { border-collapse: collapse }`,
and CSS says padding does not apply to a table in that mode. dompdf applies it
anyway; Chromium follows the spec and drops it, so the table's `padding: 0 30px`
inset the content on one renderer and not the other. Measured in isolation: with
border-collapse, content starts at x=24.0 on dompdf and x=1.5 on Chromium -- the
full 30px. All of the table's spacing moves to .items-table-wrapper, a plain
block both engines treat the same, using padding so nothing collapses through it
either.
Measured across the seven document templates, that closes the horizontal gap
outright: xMin was 57 on dompdf against 37 on Chromium for five of them, and is
now within 3pt on all seven.
GotenbergStockTemplateCompatibility is removed. Its premise was that dompdf
inflates declared line heights by 1.5x, and that does not hold: rendering the
same text at 12px, 18px, 36px and unitless 1.0/1.5 through both engines gives
line spacing within 0.5pt every time. It also applied its multiplier to the
reports, where line-height 21px pairs with font sizes of 14, 16 and 20px -- so
.report-footer-value at a 1.05 ratio was being blown out to 31.5px, half again
taller than dompdf renders it.
A residual vertical difference remains and is localised, not guessed at: it
accumulates only in the address blocks, which are <br>-joined text emitted by
getFormattedString() with an <h3> in front. Reduced to that construct alone,
Chromium steps 11.25pt per line -- exactly the declared line-height: 15px --
while dompdf steps 14.4pt. That needs deciding on its own terms rather than a
global multiplier, so it is left visible and measurable via pdf:compare.

* fix(pdf): restore the stock template design
Two regressions from the page-setup work, both visible on the page.
The coloured header band stopped bleeding to the paper edges. invoice2 and
estimate2 are built around a full-width band, and it now sits in normal flow at
the top of body, so it only reaches the edge when the page margin is nothing.
#728 defaulted margins to 1.2cm on the reasoning that it matched dompdf's
built-in default and so kept existing output unchanged. That was the wrong
reference: the templates are drawn for a zero margin and carry their own 30px
insets, and Gotenberg rendered them at zero before #728, which is the intended
look. Margins now default to nothing. Setting one still works and is honoured by
both drivers, at the cost of the band no longer reaching the edge.
A bare `0` is valid CSS and the only length needing no unit, so CssLength and
PdfPageSetup accept it -- without that the new default would have thrown on
every render.
The totals block was pushed in from the items table's right edge. Fixing the
border-collapse padding problem moved the table's 30px inset onto a wrapper that
contains the whole partial, so it stacked on the insets the hr (25px) and the
totals container (25px) already had. Those two were always honoured by both
renderers; only the table's own padding was not. The inset now lives on a div
wrapping just the table, and the wrapper keeps vertical spacing only, which
restores the original 30px/25px relationship rather than inventing a new one.
Also drops the negative margin-bottom that pulled the addresses up into the band
and hid "Bill to,", and removes a stray `bottom: 0px` on invoice1's
.header-bottom-divider that combined with `top: 90px` to stretch the rule down
the page.
Checked by rendering, not only by measurement: invoice2 and invoice1 on both
drivers now match the intended design. pdf:compare puts the two renderers within
a few points horizontally on all seven documents, xMin 21-22 and xMax 564-575.
The remaining vertical difference is the address-block line spacing documented
earlier and is unchanged by this.

* feat(demo): make the demo data actually demo the product
The demo company had no address row, and Invoice::getCompanyAddress() returns
false outright in that case, so every seeded document rendered with an empty
company block -- the name only appeared because the header falls back to it when
there is no logo. Several headline features had no demo data at all: zero tax
types, zero notes, zero recurring invoices, zero custom fields.
DemoSeeder, which the test suite and reset:app both run, now creates Acme Inc
with a postal address, tax ids and a country -- the fields the default address
format actually renders. The address is created through the relation, as
CompaniesController does, so company_id is set and type/user_id/customer_id stay
null: Company::address() is an unscoped hasOne, so anything else carrying that
company_id would be picked up as the company's own.
It also stops trusting currency id 1. Migration 2025_08_18 inserts Algerian
Dinar via firstOrCreate() before any seeder runs, so on a fresh migrate+seed the
demo priced everything in "DA". RealisticDemoSeeder already worked around this
for itself; resolving USD by code fixes it at source for reset:app and the tests
too.
RealisticDemoSeeder gains a logo, two tax types, a notes library, custom fields
and an active recurring invoice. Notes are seeded twice over on purpose: the
library and a document's notes column are unrelated in this application -- there
is no foreign key, and is_default only drives a badge in the settings list, so
nothing pre-fills a document with one.
Tax is applied at document level to most but not all documents, so the demo has
a zero-rated example in it. The arithmetic is the caller's: the service layer
trusts whatever amount it is handed rather than recomputing it, so tax is
rounded once off the subtotal and carried through total, due_amount and every
base_* twin -- miss due_amount and a paid invoice renders as part-paid.
Custom fields are on Customer, the only model_type with a create/edit UI end to
end. The PDF renders only model_type 'Item', which would add a column to the
items table and disturb a layout that was just squared up across both drivers.
The logo is a generated Acme mark rather than one of InvoiceShelf's own, which
would read as InvoiceShelf billing the customer.
Also documents both seeders in AGENTS.md. RealisticDemoSeeder was referenced
nowhere outside database/seeders/, which is a poor place to keep the thing that
makes the app look real.

* fix(pdf): tighten the spacing the old absolute header left behind
invoice2 and estimate2 carried three stacked top offsets -- content-wrapper's
60px margin plus address-container's 18px margin and 20px padding -- 98px of
dead white between the coloured band and the first line of content. They existed
because the band used to be position: absolute and out of flow, so everything
below had to be pushed clear of where it visually sat. The band takes its own
height now, so the compensation is just a gap. Collapsed to a single 32px.
Only those two templates had it, which is the tell: they are exactly the two
whose headers were absolutely positioned.
Also pins the margins on the <h3> the address formats emit. Left to the
user-agent default it pushed the company column out of line with the Bill to /
Ship to columns beside it, so the three column headings started at three
different heights. They line up now.
That h3 is also where the two renderers were measured drifting apart, and
pinning it narrows invoice2 from 85.8pt to 72.0pt and estimate2 from 84.4 to
76.8. The templates without a coloured band barely move, which places the rest
of the difference in the per-line spacing of the <br>-joined address lines
rather than in the heading -- consistent with the isolated measurement earlier
(dompdf 14.4pt per line against Chromium's 11.25pt) and still open.

Custom templates are a real feature with no test coverage at all, and several
rough edges that only show up once someone actually uses one.
make:template validated nothing. --type was checked only by the interactive
prompt, so `--type=payment` skipped the prompt and died on an uncaught
FileNotFoundException looking for payment1.blade.php: a stack trace instead of a
message. The name was not checked either, so `../escaped` wrote outside the
templates directory. Both are refused now.
Every custom template of a type shared one partials/table.blade.php. It was
written on first use and reused thereafter, so editing the items table for one
custom template silently changed it for all of them -- a file that looks
per-template and behaves globally. Each template now gets its own copy under
partials/{name}/, and its include is rewritten to match. Existing templates keep
including the old shared path, which still resolves.
A custom template sharing a built-in's name appeared twice in the picker with
the same label, and findFormattedTemplate() array_reverses and takes the first
match, so the custom one silently won. The listing is keyed by name now, so it
appears once, as the entry that will actually be used.
A custom template with no same-named .png rendered <img src=""> in the picker: a
blank tile, no error, no hint anything was missing. It falls back to the preview
of the template it was cloned from.
template_name was validated as `required` and nothing else, so any string was
accepted and stored. findFormattedTemplate() returns null for an unknown name,
the null reads as "not custom", and rendering falls through to
app.pdf.{type}.{name} -- a raw "view not found" 500 at PDF time, long after the
save that caused it. New PdfTemplateExists rule, scoped per document type.
make:template also copies a _header/_footer companion when the source template
has one, so a scaffolded template keeps the repeating page furniture.
Both getEstimateTemplateName/getInvoiceTemplateName asked for the template list
with the default image format, base64-encoding a preview of every template just
to read the names back.

Paper size was a Gotenberg-only setting stored as a single "210mm 297mm"
string. dompdf had no page settings at all: size was pinned to config/dompdf.php's
fixed 'a4', its top-level `orientation` key was read by nothing (the installed
barryvdh v3 builds options only from `defines`), and margins were whatever
dompdf's own stylesheet said. So the two drivers disagreed about margins by
default -- dompdf 1.2cm, Gotenberg hardcoded to zero -- and selecting dompdf
silently discarded the paper size.
Replaces gotenberg_papersize with pdf_paper_width / pdf_paper_height /
pdf_orientation / pdf_margin_{top,right,bottom,left}, saved and applied for
either driver. Width and height are separate CSS lengths because that is the
only lossless shared notation: Gotenberg has no named sizes, and dompdf's named
table cannot express everything Gotenberg accepts. Named presets (A3/A4/A5/
Letter/Legal) are a convenience in the UI that resolve to a pair of lengths.
PdfPageSetup resolves it once and translates: a points array plus an orientation
argument for dompdf, CSS lengths plus landscape() for Gotenberg. Both are handed
the portrait pair, since each swaps the axes itself. Gotenberg's margins() takes
top, bottom, left, right, which is not the CSS order.
dompdf exposes no margin API, so DompdfDriver injects an @page rule -- at the
top of <head>, so a template declaring its own still wins. Doing it in the driver
rather than a Blade partial means custom templates get it without including
anything.
Margins default to 1.2cm, dompdf's existing default, so Gotenberg starts
matching it rather than rendering edge-to-edge. Verified against a live
gotenberg:8: A4 portrait, A4 landscape and Letter at zero margins all come out
with the same page box and the same ink offsets on both drivers.
A malformed length now throws rather than being ignored. Blank still falls back,
but a value that is set and wrong is an operator mistake, and the drivers would
otherwise fail differently: dompdf throws converting to points, Gotenberg would
forward the string and render at some other size.
Also here:
- Migration splits an existing gotenberg_papersize into the new pair. It earns
its place because that key ships in 2.x, not just a 3.x alpha, so a stable
install that chose Letter would otherwise come back up on A4. Drops
gotenberg_margins, which 2.x also stores and neither driver ever read.
- Removes EnvironmentManager::savePDFVariables/getPDFConfiguration, which had no
caller anywhere, and the unused EnvironmentManager injection in the controller.
- config/dompdf.php: drops the dead `orientation` key and defaults enable_remote
to false, matching .env.example, which sets it explicitly and explains why.
Installs predating that line were falling back to true.
- Retires the settings.pdf.footer_text and pdf_layout strings, which no component
referenced.

The AI chat assistant scoped tool queries by company but ignored the
per-user Bouncer abilities the rest of the app enforces, so any `use ai`
holder could read customers, invoices, payments, and company financials
their role couldn't otherwise see. Each AiTool now declares a required
ability (entity-aligned); the registry hides unauthorized tools from the
model and refuses to execute them as a backstop.
Separately, admin/owner-supplied URLs were fetched server-side with no
guard against private/reserved targets (SSRF): the AI base URL, the
CurrencyConverter "DEDICATED" exchange-rate URL, and S3/Spaces file-disk
endpoints. A shared PrivateNetworkGuard now backs a PublicHttpUrl
validation rule (save-time) and runtime guards in each driver.
- AiTool::requiredAbility() + mapping across all 12 tools
- AiToolRegistry filters schemas() by ability and re-checks in execute()
- PrivateNetworkGuard / BlockedUrlException / PublicHttpUrl rule (new)
- Rule wired into AI config (service + 3 controllers), exchange-rate,
and file-disk endpoints; runtime guards in OpenRouterDriver,
CurrencyConverterDriver, and FileDiskService
- Tests for ability filtering, the guard, the rule, and 422 rejections
Add IdnEmail validation rule that converts IDN domains to Punycode

Includes unit tests for standard emails, IDN emails, and invalid
inputs.
