StyxX65 1aaf400771 feat: role-scoped viewer tokens — restrict shared links to student or staff items

Add a Role scope dropdown to the Share modal (All roles / Ansatte / Elever).
Scope is stored as {"role": "student"|"staff"} in viewer_tokens.json and
enforced server-side in GET /api/db/flagged via session["viewer_scope"].
Client-side, #filterRole is pre-set and hidden for scoped viewers so the
constraint cannot be bypassed. Existing tokens and PIN sessions remain
unrestricted. Role badge shown on each scoped token row in the Active links list.

GDPRScanner — Claude Code Context

A GDPR compliance scanner for Danish educational and municipal organisations. Scans Microsoft 365 (Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams), Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Drive), and local/SMB file systems for CPR numbers and PII. Produces Excel reports, GDPR Article 30 Word documents, and supports disposition tagging, bulk deletion, scheduled scans, and multi-language UI.

How to run

source venv/bin/activate
python gdpr_scanner.py          # http://0.0.0.0:5100 (all interfaces)
python -m pytest tests/ -q

Architecture

Entry point: gdpr_scanner.py — Flask app, scan orchestration globals. SSE route must stay here — blueprints can't stream.

Split modules: scan_engine.py (M365 + file scan), sse.py (SSE broadcast), checkpoint.py, app_config.py (all persistence), cpr_detector.py

Blueprints in routes/ — see routes/CLAUDE.md for state/SSE rules.

Frontend: templates/index.html (SPA), static/style.css (all styles), static/js/*.js (11 ES modules + state.js). static/app.js is an archived monolith — no longer loaded.

Data dir ~/.gdprscanner/: scanner.db, config.json, settings.json, schedule.json, token.json, delta.json, checkpoint.json, smtp.json, machine_id (never delete — Fernet key), role_overrides.json, google_sa.json, google.json, src_toggles.json, app.lock, viewer_tokens.json

Non-obvious files

File	Why it's not obvious
`app_config.py`	All persistence — profiles, settings, SMTP, lang loading, viewer tokens + PIN
`routes/state.py`	Shared mutable state + scan locks (not a typical Flask state file)
`routes/google_scan.py`	Google scan execution lives here, not in `google_connector.py`
`routes/viewer.py`	Viewer token + PIN API; also owns brute-force rate-limit state
`static/js/viewer.js`	Share modal, token CRUD, viewer PIN settings UI
`lang/da.json`	Primary language — source of truth is `en.json`
`build_gdpr.py`	Desktop app builder; contains embedded `LAUNCHER_CODE` for PyInstaller

Tests

128 tests in tests/. No integration tests for Flask routes or live M365/Google connections.

Viewer mode (#33) — routes/viewer.py + static/js/viewer.js

Read-only access for DPOs and reviewers. Key invariants:

/view auth chain — token (?token=) → session cookie (session["viewer_ok"]) → PIN form (if PIN configured) → 403. Never skip this order.
window.VIEWER_MODE — injected by Jinja2 in index.html. auth.js reads it at startup; adds viewer-mode class to <body>. All hide rules are CSS (body.viewer-mode …), not scattered JS checks — except delBtn in the card builder which is also guarded in JS. Hidden in viewer mode: .sidebar (entire left panel), #logWrap, #progressBar, scan/stop/profile/bulk-delete buttons, share button.
window.VIEWER_SCOPE — injected alongside VIEWER_MODE. Contains the scope dict from the token (e.g. {"role": "student"}). Empty object {} means unrestricted. auth.js reads it at startup; if VIEWER_SCOPE.role is set, it pre-sets #filterRole to that value and hides the dropdown so the viewer cannot change it.
Token scope — stored as "scope": {"role": "student"|"staff"} or "scope": {} in each token dict inside viewer_tokens.json. Enforced in two places: server-side (GET /api/db/flagged skips items whose role column does not match session["viewer_scope"].role) and client-side (the #filterRole dropdown is locked). Server-side is the authoritative guard.
session["viewer_scope"] — set when a token is validated at /view. Persists for the browser session alongside session["viewer_ok"]. Reads from session.get("viewer_scope", {}) in /api/db/flagged — defaults to {} (unrestricted) for PIN-authenticated sessions and legacy tokens without a scope key.
viewer_tokens.json format — stored as {"tokens": [...], "__pin__": {"hash": "…", "salt": "…"}}. Token dicts now include "scope": {}. The old bare-list format and tokens without a scope key are handled transparently (t.get("scope", {})). Do not write the file as a bare list.
app.secret_key — derived from machine_id bytes so Flask sessions survive restarts. Set once at startup in gdpr_scanner.py; do not override it.
GET /api/db/flagged — returns get_session_items() (last completed scan session, joined with dispositions), filtered by session["viewer_scope"].role when set. Used exclusively by _loadViewerResults() in results.js. Do not confuse with get_flagged_items() (single scan_id, no disposition join).
Rate-limit state (_pin_attempts dict in routes/viewer.py) — in-memory only, resets on server restart. Intentional — a restart clears lockouts without a persistent store.
Token onclick attributes — Copy/Revoke buttons in _renderTokenList() pass the token as a single-quoted JS string literal ('\'' + tok.token + '\''), never via JSON.stringify. JSON.stringify produces double-quoted strings that break the surrounding onclick="…" HTML attribute.
Settings Security pane — Admin PIN and Viewer PIN groups live in stPaneSecurity, not stPaneGeneral. switchSettingsTab('security') in sources.js triggers both stLoadPinStatus() and stLoadViewerPinStatus(). The Share modal Configure button opens openSettings('security').
stClearViewerPin guard — validates that the current-PIN field is non-empty client-side before sending the DELETE request; shows an inline error and focuses the field if empty.
Share link base URL — _getShareBaseUrl() in viewer.js fetches /api/local_ip (returns the machine's LAN IP via a UDP probe to 8.8.8.8) and substitutes it so copied links are routable from other machines. Falls back to window.location.origin on error. Both createShareLink and copyTokenLink are async and await this helper. Do not revert to a bare window.location.origin — that produces 127.0.0.1 links useless to remote viewers.
Flask binds to 0.0.0.0 — gdpr_scanner.py default --host, m365_launcher.py, and build_gdpr.py all use host="0.0.0.0". Internal loopback URLs (urllib exports, webview window, port probe) intentionally keep 127.0.0.1 — do not change those to 0.0.0.0.

Sources panel resize — static/js/log.js + sources.js

_fitSourcesPanel() — called at the end of every renderSourcesPanel() call. Clears the panel's inline height, reads scrollHeight (natural content height), then either restores a saved smaller preference from localStorage (gdpr_sources_h) or pins the height to scrollHeight. This keeps the panel exactly as tall as needed to show all sources.
_initSourcesResize() — attaches pointer-drag to #sourcesResizeHandle. On pointerdown it captures scrollHeight as the hard max; drag up shrinks, drag down is capped at that max. Saves to localStorage on release; clears the key if the user drags back to full height.
Do not add a fixed max-height or height to #sourcesPanel in HTML — height is controlled entirely by _fitSourcesPanel() at runtime.
Do not call _fitSourcesPanel() before the panel has rendered — scrollHeight will be 0. The call in renderSourcesPanel() is the correct hook; _initSourcesResize() only sets up the drag handler.

Both options live in the profile options dict and apply to all three scan engines (M365, Google, file scan).

skip_gps_images (bool, default false) — When enabled, images whose only PII is GPS coordinates are not flagged. GPS data is still extracted and stored in the card exif field if the item is flagged by another signal (faces, EXIF author/comment). The gps_location special category is also suppressed. Evaluated via _exif_has_pii which rechecks pii_fields and author when GPS is skipped.
min_cpr_count (int, default 1) — Minimum number of distinct CPR numbers in a file before it is flagged. Deduplication uses list(dict.fromkeys(cprs)) to preserve order. Files with faces or EXIF PII are still flagged regardless of CPR count — the threshold gates only CPR-based hits.
File scan reads both from source dict keys (passed directly from the /api/file_scan/start payload). M365 scan reads both from scan_opts = options.get("options", {}). Both paths apply the same _cpr_qualifies / _exif_has_pii logic before the flagging gate.
UI: sidebar controls #optSkipGps (toggle) and #optMinCpr (number); profile editor controls #peOptSkipGps and #peOptMinCpr. Both are saved/loaded by profiles.js.

Memory management — scan_engine.py

Large M365 tenants can generate enormous memory pressure. Key rules to preserve:

Email body stripped at collection time — _scan_user_email calls conn.get_message_body_text(msg), stores the result as msg["_precomputed_body"], then deletes msg["body"] and msg["bodyPreview"] before appending to work_items. The processing loop reads meta.pop("_precomputed_body", ""). Do not re-add body to the $select query without also stripping it here.
work_items → deque before processing — converted with deque(work_items) and drained via popleft() so each item's memory is released immediately after processing. Do not convert back to a list or iterate with enumerate().
del content in file branch — raw download bytes are deleted as soon as content.decode() is done (before NER/PII counting). Both the hit and no-hit paths have explicit del content.
del body_text in email branch — deleted after _broadcast_card call.
PDF OCR images freed page-by-page — in document_scanner.scan_pdf, images[page_num-1] = None immediately after OCR. Do not cache or accumulate page images.
Memory guard — psutil.virtual_memory().available checked before each M365 file download; scan skips the file if < 300 MB free.

Export — routes/export.py

GDPRDb.get_session_sources() — returns a set of source-key strings (e.g. {"gmail", "gdrive", "email"}) for every scan in the current session window. Used by both _build_excel_bytes() and _build_article30_docx() to include zero-hit sources in summary tables. Do not derive the scanned-source set from by_source alone — that dict only contains sources with flagged items.
Excel Summary sheet vs. per-source tabs — the Summary sheet shows all scanned sources (even with 0 items). Per-source tabs are only created for sources with items; an empty tab has no value.
ART.30 breakdown table — iterates scanned_sources (not by_source) so Gmail, Google Drive, etc. appear with 0 | 0 | 0 | — when the scan found nothing.
Role-filtered exports — _build_excel_bytes(role='') and _build_article30_docx(role='') accept role='student' or role='staff'. A local _items list is built at the top of each function and used everywhere instead of state.flagged_items directly — GPS sheet, External transfers sheet, and Art.30 staff/student tables all see only the filtered subset. Route handlers read request.args.get('role', '') and forward it. Filenames get _elever / _ansatte suffix. The #filterRole dropdown in the filter bar drives both the client-side grid filter and the export URL param — do not separate them.

SSE teardown — static/js/scan.js

Do not close S.es in scan_done if other scans are still running — M365 (scan_done), Google (google_scan_done), and File (file_scan_done) each emit their own done event. If M365 finishes first and the SSE is closed, the remaining done events are never received and the UI hangs at 100% indefinitely.
Rule: close S.es (and reset S._userStartedScan) only inside the branch where all concurrent scans have finished: scan_done checks !S._googleScanRunning && !S._fileScanRunning; google_scan_done checks !S._m365ScanRunning && !S._fileScanRunning; file_scan_done checks !S._m365ScanRunning && !S._googleScanRunning.
Scheduled scans — S._userStartedScan is false for scheduler-triggered runs, so the SSE connection is never closed and future scheduler events continue to arrive.

Global gotchas

Pattern matching in Python — when using str.replace() to patch JS/HTML, whitespace and quote style must match exactly. Use in check first and print if not found.
__getattr__ on modules — only resolves module.name access from outside, not bare name lookups inside function bodies. Always import directly.
JSON.stringify inside onclick="…" attributes — produces double-quoted strings that terminate the HTML attribute early. Use single-quoted JS string literals instead, or data-* attributes read from the handler.

Directory-scoped rules

routes/CLAUDE.md — SSE constraints, scan_progress source field, file_sources, Python gotchas
static/js/CLAUDE.md — profile dropdown, progress bar phase parsing, JS gotchas
templates/CLAUDE.md — CSS variable names, sizing rules, badge standard, design rules
lang/CLAUDE.md — i18n conventions
