Mirrors the DOCX CDN architecture for PPTX: small files (≤350 KB
binary) embed as base64 and render via `pptx-preview` loaded from
jsdelivr inside the Sandpack iframe. Larger files and air-gapped
deployments fall back to the existing slide-list extraction.
Why
---
PPTX is the format where the gap between LibreChat's preview and
Claude.ai-style previews was most visible (slide-list of bullet
points vs. rendered slide layouts). LibreOffice → PDF → PDF.js is
still the eventual gold-standard answer for PPTX fidelity, but
client-side rendering inside the Sandpack iframe gets us a
meaningful intermediate step (~1.5/5 → ~3.5/5) without a sidecar.
What
----
- `pptx-preview@1.0.7` (ISC license, ~1.36 MB UMD bundle that
includes its echarts/lodash/uuid/jszip/tslib deps inline). Pinned
to a specific version on jsdelivr with SHA-384 SRI and
`crossorigin="anonymous"`.
- `buildPptxCdnDocument` mirrors the DOCX wrapper: same CSP locks
(`default-src 'none'`, `connect-src 'none'`, no eval, no base/form
tampering), same `id="lc-doc-data"` base64 slot, same fallback
message wiring (`typeof pptxPreview === 'undefined'` →
"Preview unavailable").
- New public `pptxToHtml(buffer)` dispatcher; `bufferToOfficeHtml`
switches its `'pptx'` case to call it. `pptxToSlideListHtml` stays
exported as the slide-list-only path (still hit by tests directly
and by the dispatcher fallback).
- `OFFICE_PREVIEW_DISABLE_CDN=true` env-var hatch applies to PPTX
too — air-gapped operators get the slide-list path. Same env-var
read at call time, same matrix of truthy values (`1` / `true` /
`yes` / case-insensitive / whitespace-trimmed).
- `_internal` re-exports moved to after the PPTX section since the
PPTX internals live further down in the file. Adds
`pptxToHtmlViaCdn`, `MAX_PPTX_CDN_BINARY_BYTES`,
`PPTX_PREVIEW_CDN`.
Honest caveats
--------------
- The 1.36 MB UMD bundle has `require("stream"/"events"/"buffer"/
"util")` references in its outer wrapper. Those are bundled-dep
artifacts (likely from `tslib` / Node-shim transforms) and don't
appear to execute on the browser code paths, but I haven't done
manual e2e on a wide range of decks. If a class of files turns up
that breaks rendering, the iframe-side fallback message catches it
and operators have `OFFICE_PREVIEW_DISABLE_CDN=true` as the bail.
- First-render CDN fetch is ~1.36 MB (browser-cached after).
- PPTX with embedded media easily exceeds the 350 KB binary cap;
those files take the slide-list path. Lifting the cap is a
follow-up (tied to the broader self-hosting work).
Tests
-----
11 new in two new describe blocks:
- `pptxToHtml dispatcher`: routing predicate (small → CDN, env-set
→ slide-list).
- `CDN-rendered path`: base64 round-trip, SRI integrity +
crossorigin, CSP locks (connect/eval/base/form), fallback message,
size-threshold lock at 350 KB.
- `OFFICE_PREVIEW_DISABLE_CDN escape hatch`: env-var matrix for
truthy values.
