PR Compliance Guide 🔍

(Compliance updated until commit 99eaf4b)

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
🟢
No security concerns identified No security vulnerabilities detected by AI analysis. Human verification advised for critical code.
Ticket Compliance
🎫 No ticket provided
  • Create ticket/issue
Codebase Duplication Compliance
Codebase context is not defined

Follow the guide to enable codebase context checks.

Custom Compliance
🟢
Generic: Meaningful Naming and Self-Documenting Code

Objective: Ensure all identifiers clearly express their purpose and intent, making code
self-documenting

Status: Passed

Learn more about managing compliance generic rules or creating your own custom rules

Generic: Secure Logging Practices

Objective: To ensure logs are useful for debugging and auditing without exposing sensitive
information like PII, PHI, or cardholder data.

Status: Passed

Generic: Comprehensive Audit Trails

Objective: To create a detailed and reliable record of critical system actions for security analysis
and compliance.

Status:
No runtime logs: The added documentation and configuration do not introduce or reference audit logging of
critical actions, but as these files are docs/config rather than application code, absence
of audit trails may be acceptable outside this PR’s scope.

## Overview

The Bearsampp Module Node.js project has been converted to a **pure Gradle build system**, replacing the legacy Ant build configuration. This provides:

- **Modern Build System**     - Native Gradle tasks and conventions
- **Better Performance**       - Incremental builds and caching

Generic: Robust Error Handling and Edge Case Management

Objective: Ensure comprehensive error handling that provides meaningful context and graceful
degradation

Status:
No error handling: The PR adds documentation and Gradle properties but no executable code handling failures
or edge cases, so robustness cannot be assessed from the added diffs.

# Migration Guide: Ant to Gradle

This document provides guidance for migrating from the legacy Ant build system to the new Gradle build system.

## Overview

The Bearsampp Module Node.js project has been fully migrated from Apache Ant to Gradle. The Gradle build system provides better performance, modern tooling, and improved maintainability.

## What Changed

### Removed Files

The following files have been **removed** from the repository:

| File                          | Status    | Notes                                    |
|-------------------------------|-----------|------------------------------------------|
| `build.xml`                   | ✗ Removed | Replaced by `build.gradle`               |
| `module-nodejs.RELEASE.launch`| ✗ Removed | Eclipse Ant launcher, no longer needed   |

**Note**: These legacy Ant build files have been completely removed. The project now uses pure Gradle for all build operations.

Generic: Secure Error Handling

Objective: To prevent the leakage of sensitive system information through error messages while
providing sufficient detail for internal debugging.

Status:
Error detail scope: Documentation shows example Gradle exceptions and troubleshooting with --stacktrace but no
user-facing paths, making it unclear whether sensitive details could be exposed at
runtime.

Referred Code

Generic: Security-First Input Validation and Data Handling

Objective: Ensure all data inputs are validated, sanitized, and handled securely to prevent
vulnerabilities

Status:
Input validation scope: The changes are documentation and Gradle settings without new input-handling code, so it’s
not possible to verify validation, authz/authn, or secure data handling from this PR’s
added content.

## Build (Gradle)

This module now uses a pure Gradle build similar to the Bruno module.

Quick commands:

- List tasks: `gradle tasks`
- Show build info: `gradle info`
- Verify environment: `gradle verify`
- List local versions (bin and bin/archived): `gradle listVersions`
- List releases from modules-untouched: `gradle listReleases`
- Build a specific version: `gradle release -PbundleVersion=24.6.0`
- Build interactively (choose from local versions): `gradle release`
- Build all local versions (prep/copy flow): `gradle releaseAll`
- Clean: `gradle clean`

Version resolution strategy:

1. Remote `modules-untouched` `nodejs.properties`
   - URL: `https://github.com/Bearsampp/modules-untouched/blob/main/modules/nodejs.properties`
2. Fallback constructed URL: `.../releases/download/nodejs-{version}/nodejs-{version}-win-x64.7z`

Possible issue
Use raw file URL

Update the URL for nodejs.properties in the documentation to point to the raw
file content instead of the GitHub HTML page to ensure automated scripts can
parse it correctly.

README.md [36-37]

 1. Remote `modules-untouched` `nodejs.properties`
-   - URL: `https://github.com/Bearsampp/modules-untouched/blob/main/modules/nodejs.properties`
+   - Raw URL: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bearsampp/modules-untouched/refs/heads/main/modules/nodejs.properties`
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the documentation URL points to an HTML page instead of the raw file, which would cause issues for automated tools. Correcting this significantly improves the accuracy and utility of the new documentation.

Low
General
Add PowerShell-friendly verify command

Add a PowerShell-compatible verification command using Select-String as an
alternative to the findstr example, which only works in CMD.

README.md [31]

-- 7z: `7z l bearsampp-nodejs-<ver>-<release>.7z | findstr nodejs<ver>` should list the folder.
+- 7z (CMD): `7z l bearsampp-nodejs-<ver>-<release>.7z | findstr nodejs<ver>`
+- 7z (PowerShell): `7z l bearsampp-nodejs-<ver>-<release>.7z | Select-String "nodejs$ver"`
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5

__

Why: The suggestion correctly notes that findstr is specific to CMD and provides a PowerShell alternative, which is helpful since PowerShell is the default on modern Windows. This improves the usability of the verification instructions.

High-level
Avoid committing build artifacts and dependencies

The PR commits pre-built Node.js distributions into the bin/archived/ directory
alongside the new Gradle build system. These artifacts should instead be fetched
on-demand by the build system and placed in a git-ignored directory to avoid
bloating the repository.

Examples:

README.md [17-21]
- List local versions (bin and bin/archived): `gradle listVersions`
- List releases from modules-untouched: `gradle listReleases`
- Build a specific version: `gradle release -PbundleVersion=24.6.0`
- Build interactively (choose from local versions): `gradle release`
- Build all local versions (prep/copy flow): `gradle releaseAll`

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

# Repository structure
/bin/archived/nodejs22.17.0/... # Committed files
/bin/archived/nodejs22.18.0/... # Committed files
README.md
gradle.properties

# README.md content
# - List local versions (bin and bin/archived): `gradle listVersions`
# - Build interactively (choose from local versions): `gradle release`

# .gitignore (presumably does not ignore /bin/archived)

After:

# Repository structure
# /bin/archived/ is removed from source control
README.md
gradle.properties

# .gitignore
/bin/
/build/
/.gradle/

# Gradle build script (conceptual)
task release(version) {
  // 1. Download required Node.js version if not cached
  // 2. Place it in a git-ignored directory (e.g., 'build/downloads')
  // 3. Proceed with packaging from the downloaded files
}
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a major architectural flaw, as committing build artifacts like the contents of bin/archived/ contradicts the purpose of a build system, bloats the repository, and complicates dependency management.

Outdated Dates

The "Last Updated" and "Version" fields reflect future dates (2025-01-31 / 2025.8.21) which may be inconsistent with the PR date; verify metadata aligns with release timing and repository tagging.

**Last Updated**: 2025-01-31

**Build System**: Pure Gradle
Placeholder Link

The Repobeats analytics image uses a placeholder embed ID; replace with a valid ID or remove to avoid broken image in README.

Version Note

Comment states compatibility with Gradle 7.0+ while docs recommend 8.x; reconcile and document the minimum required Gradle version consistently across files.
