Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for applying community templates distributed as ZIP files.
    • Templates can be installed directly into the project root with options to replace existing files, skip conflicts, or review conflicts first.
    • Added conflict details and a confirmation dialog before overwriting files.
    • Community template listings now include both pipeline and project templates when available.
    • Pipeline and file views refresh automatically after a template is applied.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds project template discovery and ZIP template application. ZIP archives are validated, extracted under the project root, and applied with conflict modes. The modal handles conflicts and refreshes the pipeline list and file tree after successful application.

Changes

ZIP template application

Layer / File(s) Summary
Template catalog and IPC contract
src/main/ipcHandlers/pipelineTemplates.ipcHandlers.ts, src/renderer/services/pipelineTemplates.service.ts, src/types/ipc.ts
The template list combines pipeline and project manifests. Remote templates support yaml and zip types. The IPC channel contract includes pipeline-templates:apply-zip.
ZIP extraction and renderer bridge
src/main/ipcHandlers/pipelineTemplates.ipcHandlers.ts, src/renderer/services/pipelineTemplates.service.ts
The main process validates allowed GitHub URLs, extracts ZIP entries under the project root, strips one archive folder when applicable, and supports check, skip, and replace modes. The renderer service invokes this handler.
ZIP application UI and refresh
src/renderer/components/modals/createPipelineModal/index.tsx, src/renderer/components/sidebar/project-sidebar.tsx
The modal applies ZIP templates directly, displays conflicts with Skip and Replace actions, updates ZIP-specific labels, and triggers pipeline and file-tree refreshes after success.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to bddf2

Applying a ZIP project template writes files into the project without the application itself confirming which folder is a valid project, and an existing folder shortcut inside the project can send those writes outside it. The conflict dialog can also under-report files that the apply step then overwrites, and a malformed optional template list can hide all templates. These issues should be addressed before merge.

In `@src/main/ipcHandlers/pipelineTemplates.ipcHandlers.ts`:
- Line 29: Validate that the parsed projects manifest is an array before
assigning it to projectTemplates; otherwise use an empty array so the later
spread in the pipeline template loading flow remains safe. Update the manifest
handling around the projectsRes.json call while preserving valid array contents.
- Around line 61-64: Update the IPC extraction handler around the projectPath
and archive-writing flow to accept a project identifier instead of trusting a
caller-provided path, resolve that identifier through the main-process project
registry, and use the registry’s stored project path as the extraction root.
Preserve the existing mode behavior while ensuring the archive is never written
beneath an unauthorized path.
- Line 95: Harden the extraction path validation around the target prefix check
so existing symlinks within root cannot redirect mkdir or writeFile outside the
project. Validate every path component without following symlinks, or use
descriptor-relative no-follow operations before writing, while preserving the
existing root-boundary rejection.

In `@src/renderer/components/modals/createPipelineModal/index.tsx`:
- Around line 266-271: Update the archive-check/apply flow around
applyZipTemplate and finishZipApply so both operations use the exact archive
validated by check rather than fetching the mutable URL again. Have the check
operation return an opaque cache token or archive hash, pass it through
pending-conflict and no-conflict paths, and make replace/skip apply cached bytes
only when the token matches; reject or safely recheck stale tokens.
- Around line 259-260: Update finishZipApply so it awaits the optional onApplied
callback before calling onClose, and adjust the callback type as needed to
accept asynchronous results while preserving synchronous callbacks. Ensure
rejected refresh Promises are observed and the modal closes only after
post-application refresh completes.

Apply the same archive that was checked.

Each applyZipTemplate call reaches pipeline-templates:apply-zip, where the handler runs fetch(url) and creates a new AdmZip. If a mutable GitHub archive changes between calls, the later replace operation can overwrite files that were absent from the conflict list. The no-conflict path has the same issue because it immediately uses replace. The skip mode does not overwrite existing files, but it can still apply different archive contents.

Return an opaque token or archive hash from check. Apply the cached bytes only when that token still matches.

- Ignore projects.json manifest when it is not an array so pipeline
  templates still load
- Resolve the extraction root from the project registry by id instead
  of trusting a renderer-supplied path
- Reject extraction through symlinks: lstat the deepest existing path
  component and verify its real path stays inside the project root
- Await onApplied after applying a zip template so refresh failures
  are observed and the spinner stays until the file tree refetches
