# Description of Changes - **What was changed:** - Renamed top-level directories: `stirling-pdf` → `app/core`, `common` → `app/common`, `proprietary` → `app/proprietary`. - Updated all path references in `.gitattributes`, GitHub workflows (`.github/workflows/*`), scripts (`.github/scripts/*`), `.gitignore`, Dockerfiles, license files, and template settings to reflect the new structure. - Added a new CI job `check-generateOpenApiDocs` to generate and upload OpenAPI documentation. - Removed redundant `@Autowired` annotations from `TempFileShutdownHook` and `UnlockPDFFormsController`. - Minor formatting and comment adjustments in YAML templates and resource files. - **Why the change was made:** - To introduce a clear `app/` directory hierarchy for core, common, and proprietary modules, improving organization and maintainability. - To ensure continuous integration and Docker builds continue to work seamlessly with the reorganized structure. - To automate OpenAPI documentation generation as part of the CI pipeline. --- ## Checklist ### General - [x] I have read the [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) - [x] I have read the [Stirling-PDF Developer Guide](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/devGuide/DeveloperGuide.md) (if applicable) - [ ] I have read the [How to add new languages to Stirling-PDF](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/devGuide/HowToAddNewLanguage.md) (if applicable) - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [x] My changes generate no new warnings ### Documentation - [ ] I have updated relevant docs on [Stirling-PDF's doc repo](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-Tools.github.io/blob/main/docs/) (if functionality has heavily changed) - [ ] I have read the section [Add New Translation Tags](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/devGuide/HowToAddNewLanguage.md#add-new-translation-tags) (for new translation tags only) ### UI Changes (if applicable) - [ ] Screenshots or videos demonstrating the UI changes are attached (e.g., as comments or direct attachments in the PR) ### Testing (if applicable) - [ ] I have tested my changes locally.
