* feat: simplify reverse proxy configuration with Next.js rewrites
Add Next.js API rewrites to proxy /api/* requests internally from port 8502
to the FastAPI backend on port 5055. This eliminates the need for complex
reverse proxy configurations with multiple upstreams and location blocks.
Changes:
- Add rewrites to next.config.ts proxying /api/* to INTERNAL_API_URL
- Introduce INTERNAL_API_URL env var (defaults to http://localhost:5055)
- Update supervisord configs to pass INTERNAL_API_URL to Next.js
- Document INTERNAL_API_URL in .env.example with usage examples
- Add simplified reverse proxy examples for nginx, Traefik, Caddy, Coolify
- Update README architecture diagram to show internal proxying
- Add explanatory comments to _config route handler
Benefits:
- Reduces reverse proxy config from 12 lines to 3 (75% reduction)
- Single-port deployment (8502 only) for 95% of use cases
- Zero breaking changes - backward compatible with existing setups
- Zero performance overhead (validated through testing)
- Preserves proxy headers (X-Forwarded-*) for rate limiting/SSL

* fix: rename _config to config to fix production routing
CRITICAL BUG FIX: The /_config endpoint has never worked in production builds
because Next.js treats folders starting with underscore as "private folders"
and excludes them from routing entirely.
This endpoint is critical for:
- Providing API_URL to the browser at runtime
- Enabling zero-config deployments with auto-detection
- Supporting reverse proxy scenarios where API URL differs from frontend URL
Changes:
- Rename frontend/src/app/_config/ → frontend/src/app/config/
- Update client code references (/_config → /config)
- Update documentation with correct endpoint path
- Bump version to 1.1.0 (minor version for new rewrites feature + bug fix)
Impact:
- Runtime configuration now works in production builds
- /config returns {"apiUrl":"http://localhost:5055"} correctly
- Auto-detection for reverse proxy deployments now functional

* fix: resolve React hook exhaustive-deps warning in AddExistingSourceDialog
Wrap performSearch function in useCallback to properly memoize it and satisfy
React Hook exhaustive-deps rule. This prevents unnecessary re-renders and
ensures the useEffect dependency array is correctly specified.
Changes:
- Import useCallback from React
- Wrap performSearch with useCallback([debouncedSearchQuery, allSources])
- Add performSearch to useEffect dependency array
* final fixes
Move runtime configuration endpoint from /api/runtime-config to /_config to avoid
conflicts with reverse proxies that route all /api/* requests to the FastAPI backend.
This fixes an issue where users with reverse proxies would see port 5055 incorrectly
appended to their API_URL even when explicitly set via environment variable.
Changes:
- Move frontend/src/app/api/runtime-config/route.ts to frontend/src/app/_config/route.ts
- Update config.ts to fetch from /_config instead of /api/runtime-config
- Add troubleshooting documentation for reverse proxy users
- Update all reverse proxy examples to show correct routing (catch-all handles /_config)
- Bump version to 1.0.11
The new /_config endpoint is automatically handled by standard reverse proxy catch-all
rules (location / { proxy_pass http://frontend; }), requiring no additional configuration
for most users.
Fixes issue where API_URL environment variable was being ignored in reverse proxy setups,
causing CORS errors with "Status code: (null)" and incorrect port 5055 being added.
