Redline scoped WAF rate limiting and payload size expansion

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20260930-redline-waf-rate-limiting

Introduces dedicated edge rate limiting for unauthenticated Redline playground routes, isolates developer API keys from blanket IP throttling, and expands WAF body size thresholds for 1 MiB inline diffs.

Security

  • Configured redline-anonymous-rate-limiter rule in bookcicle-global-waf to cap unauthenticated /v1/redline/* requests at 300 requests per 5-minute window per IP with a custom 429 JSON response.
  • Exempted requests bearing Authorization or x-bookcicle-authorization headers to prevent corporate NAT and CI/CD false-positive throttling for developer API keys.
  • Expanded bookcicle-size-limiter threshold to 1.2 MB (1,200,000 bytes) to accommodate standard 1 MiB inline HTML diff payloads without edge blockage.

Improved

  • Enhanced Redline frontend playground error handling to specifically detect HTTP 429 status codes and inform users with actionable rate-limit notifications.

Redline playground and viewer document typography preservation

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20260930-redline-viewer-html-styles

Restores authentic document typography and formatting hierarchy for HTML and Markdown outputs across playground rendered diffs, side-by-side split view panes, and hosted viewer surfaces.

Improved

  • Preserved authentic heading styles (h1 through h6) in Redline comparison viewer and split panes, preventing resets from collapsing headers to body font sizes and weights.
  • Restored bullet and numbered list styling, margins, and indentation for ul, ol, and li elements in diff results.
  • Added scoped document typography rules for paragraphs, blockquotes, tables, horizontal rules, pre, and inline code across .rl-rendered-content, .rl-split-pane-body, and .rl-viewer-content.
  • Ensured inline ins and del tags inherit heading font size and weight when nested within document headers.
  • Added E2E assertions verifying authentic heading and list typography across rendered HTML and Markdown comparison modes.

  • Created unit test suites covering RedlineDashboardView and RedlineApiKeysView behaviors.

Fixed

Redline internal link audit and plan management navigation

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20260930-329c4d7

Fixes Manage Plan navigation and pricing links across Redline builds to route to the homepage pricing section, audits and repairs dead internal links from account views, and ensures seamless cross-view scroll restoration.

Fixed

  • Updated Manage Plan and pricing links in Redline developer dashboard, usage analytics, account details, and billing overview to target /#pricing with client-side router interception.
  • Audited internal links across header navigation, hero actions, documentation, and footer to use root-relative anchors (/#pricing, /#playground, /#docs), preventing dead /account#pricing routing when navigated from account subviews.
  • Added router redirect and exact route recognition for /pricing and /account/plan to /#pricing in Redline product builds.
  • Restored smooth scroll targeting to #pricing when unmounting React apps and returning to the Redline home shell.

Redline block-level deletion and insertion styling normalization

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20260930-redline-block-diff-styling

Eliminates phantom newline indicators and ghost inline boxes when comparing Markdown lists and structured JSON lines by setting block-wrapping del and ins tags to display: contents and styling block targets directly.

Redline anonymous playground quota isolation and fetch abort resilience

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20260930-redline-quota-hardening

Exempts anonymous Redline playground endpoints from core API authentication redirects and ensures fetch abort signals propagate through retry wrappers to prevent network timeouts.

Improved
