accounted/WHITELABEL.md

Whitelabel fork checklist

Accounted is whitelabel-friendly: every user-visible brand reference reads from a single BrandingService (lib/branding/service.ts). If you don't override anything, the app behaves exactly like upstream gnubok. To run your own brand on top of Accounted, fork the repo and override the values you care about.

Quick start

# 1. Fork erp-mafia/gnubok on GitHub → you/your-brand
# 2. Clone and add upstream remote (one-time)
git clone https://github.com/you/your-brand
cd your-brand
git remote add upstream https://github.com/erp-mafia/gnubok

# 3. Copy the example branding extension
cp -r extensions/general/_example-branding extensions/general/your-brand
# Edit extensions/general/your-brand/index.ts with your brand values

# 4. (Optional) Set env vars instead of / in addition to the extension. See "Env vars" below.

# 5. Enable the extension
# Edit extensions.config.json and add "your-brand" to the array.

# 6. Run locally
npm run setup:extensions
npm run dev

# 7. Deploy to your hosting (Vercel, Docker, etc.)

Env vars

All branding can be set via env vars. Public ones use NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_* (build-time inlined, available in client components). Server-only ones use BRANDING_*.

Env var	Field	Default
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_APP_NAME	appName	Accounted
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_APP_DESCRIPTION	appDescription	Ekonomihantering
BRANDING_LEGAL_ENTITY	legalEntity	Arcim
BRANDING_SUPPORT_EMAIL	supportEmail	support@gnubok.se
BRANDING_PRIVACY_EMAIL	privacyEmail	privacy@gnubok.se
BRANDING_SECURITY_EMAIL	securityEmail	security@arcim.io
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_AUTH_EMAIL_FROM	authEmailFrom — From address Supabase Auth sends verification / reset emails from. Used to pre-populate the from: query on the "open in Gmail" button after signup. Set to whatever you configured in your Supabase Auth SMTP.	noreply@gnubok.se
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL	appUrl	https://app.gnubok.se
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_LOGO_PATH	logoPath	/gnubokiceon-removebg-preview.png
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_FAVICON_PATH	faviconPath	/favicon.ico
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_APPLE_ICON_PATH	appleTouchIconPath	/icons/icon-192.png
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_PWA_ICON_BASE	pwaIconBasePath	/icons
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_THEME_COLOR	themeColor	#304D83
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_MANIFEST_THEME_COLOR	manifestThemeColor	#1a1a1a
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_MANIFEST_BG_COLOR	manifestBackgroundColor	#ffffff
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_HIDDEN_NAV	hiddenNavHrefs (comma-separated, e.g. /salary,/customers)	`` (none hidden)

Resolution order (last wins): defaults → env vars → extension override.

NEXT_PUBLIC_* env vars are inlined at build time. Changing them requires a fresh npm run build to propagate.

NEXT_PUBLIC_BRANDING_APP_NAME also stamps the service worker push-notification fallback title in public/sw.js. This happens at build time for Vercel/local builds (via scripts/inject-public-branding.mjs, run from prebuild) and at container start for Docker (via docker-entrypoint.sh).

Email / Resend (when email or invoice-inbox extensions are enabled)

Env var	Purpose
RESEND_API_KEY	Resend API key — required for both outbound mail and the inbox webhook
RESEND_FROM_EMAIL	Default From address (e.g. noreply@your-brand.se); also used as the address you From-spoof through Resend
RESEND_INBOUND_DOMAIN	Domain used to compose per-company invoice-inbox addresses: {local-part}@{RESEND_INBOUND_DOMAIN}
RESEND_INBOUND_WEBHOOK_SECRET	Verifies the /inbound webhook signature from Resend

Things you MUST NOT change

These are stable contracts. Renaming them breaks existing data, sessions, or external clients (npm package consumers, MCP connectors, browser sessions, invite links). Leave them alone in your fork:

Identifier	Where	Why
gnubok-company-id	cookie	Active company context — renaming breaks logged-in sessions
gnubok-invite-token	cookie	Pre-auth invite token holding — renaming drops in-flight invites
gnubok_sk_	API key prefix	All issued API keys; existing clients fail validation
gnubok_inv_	invite token prefix	All sent invite links break
gnubok_*	MCP tool names (gnubok_list_invoices, etc.)	Published MCP API — Claude clients have these cached
gnubok-mcp	npm package name	Whitelabel users still install npx gnubok-mcp. Document GNUBOK_URL=https://app.your-brand.se/api/extensions/ext/mcp-server/mcp so they hit your endpoint
GNUBOK_API_KEY	env var read by gnubok-mcp package	Same reason — npm consumer expects this name

What's outside this branding service

A few things that look brand-related but are configured elsewhere:

• Supabase auth emails (password reset, magic link) — set in the Supabase dashboard for your project, not in code.
• Resend sending domain — verify noreply@your-brand.se (or wherever) in Resend, set RESEND_FROM_EMAIL.
• DNS / domain — point app.your-brand.se at your Vercel deployment.
• OAuth redirect allowlist for MCP — app/api/mcp-oauth/authorize/route.ts lists claude.ai/api/*, claude.com/api/*, and localhost. Your domain is the OAuth issuer, not a redirect target — no change needed unless you're integrating with new MCP clients.
• iCal feed PRODID (lib/calendar/ics-generator.ts) — defaults to erp-base.se, callers may pass their domain.
• NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL — used as the OAuth issuer. Set this to your domain (e.g. https://app.your-brand.se).
• Skatteverket submission identity — extensions/general/skatteverket/lib/api-client.ts does not set a custom User-Agent; submissions go out with the Node/Vercel runtime default. If your deployment needs to identify itself to Skatteverket under a different brand, that's a future enhancement (env var + header), not something the current branding service covers.

Staying in sync with upstream

Add this workflow at .github/workflows/sync-upstream.yml to your fork. It runs weekly and opens a PR with upstream changes:

name: Sync from upstream

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 3 * * 1'  # Mondays 03:00 UTC
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
      pull-requests: write
      issues: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Configure git
        run: |
          git config user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git config user.email "41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"

      - name: Add upstream and fetch
        run: |
          git remote add upstream https://github.com/erp-mafia/gnubok
          git fetch upstream main

      - name: Create sync branch and merge
        id: merge
        run: |
          BRANCH="sync/upstream-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
          git checkout -b "$BRANCH"
          if git merge --no-edit upstream/main; then
            echo "status=clean" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          else
            echo "status=conflict" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
            git merge --abort || true
          fi
          echo "branch=$BRANCH" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

      - name: Push and open PR (clean merge)
        if: steps.merge.outputs.status == 'clean'
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          if git diff --quiet origin/main..HEAD; then
            echo "Up to date with upstream — nothing to do."
            exit 0
          fi
          git push origin "${{ steps.merge.outputs.branch }}"
          gh pr create \
            --base main \
            --head "${{ steps.merge.outputs.branch }}" \
            --title "Sync from upstream Accounted" \
            --body "Automated weekly sync from \`erp-mafia/gnubok@main\`."

      - name: Report conflict
        if: steps.merge.outputs.status == 'conflict'
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          gh issue create \
            --title "Upstream sync conflict ($(date +%Y-%m-%d))" \
            --label sync-conflict \
            --body "Automated upstream merge hit a conflict. Resolve manually: \`git fetch upstream && git merge upstream/main\`."

Conflict avoidance

The fork-friendliness of this design depends on you keeping changes confined to your branding extension folder. Every file you edit in lib/, app/, or components/ becomes a potential conflict on the next upstream merge. If you find yourself wanting to override something the branding service doesn't expose, prefer:

1. Open an upstream issue — the branding service is intentionally minimal; missing fields can be added.
2. PR a hook upstream — extending the service or adding a registry pattern keeps your fork clean.

Verifying your whitelabel

After deploying:

• Visit / — browser tab title shows your brand.
• Visit /login and /register — your logo renders.
• View source of /manifest.webmanifest — name, short_name, theme_color reflect your overrides.
• Trigger an invite email — From line says <your-brand> <noreply@...>, body uses your name.
• Visit /dpa and /privacy — legal entity and contact email are yours.
• Open OAuth flow (/api/mcp-oauth/authorize?...) from a test MCP client — consent page references your brand.
• Submit support form (Settings → Support) — internal subject prefix is [<your-brand> support].
