When localePrefix is 'always' (or 'as-needed' with a non-default locale),
paths like /en/settings already have the locale in the URL. Running them
through the next-intl middleware a second time can trigger rewrite loops,
especially when combined with a proxy basePath where the middleware's
detection of the 'current' path conflicts with the rewritten one.
Skip the intl middleware in this case — the path is already in the
canonical locale-prefixed form and no further rewriting is needed.
This makes NEXT_PUBLIC_LOCALE_PREFIX=always reliable for sub-path
deployments.
Allow the next-intl localePrefix mode to be set via environment
variable at build time, defaulting to the existing 'never' behavior.
This is useful when proxying Bulwark under a sub-path (where
'never' can trigger rewrite loops) or when users prefer
URL-embedded locales (/en/settings vs /settings).
Usage:
NEXT_PUBLIC_LOCALE_PREFIX=always npm run build
Accepted values: 'never' (default), 'always', 'as-needed'.
Makes every client-side fetch('/api/...') call respect the mount prefix
when Bulwark is served behind a reverse proxy at a sub-path (e.g.
`/webmail`).
### Problem
`getPathPrefix()` (added in 1.4.13 by #XXX / d762b94) already fixes
router navigation and redirect URIs for reverse-proxy deployments.
Client-side `fetch()` calls, though, still target the browser origin:
await fetch('/api/foo')
// Browser at /webmail/en/inbox → hits /api/foo (not proxied → 404)
That means the login flow, session establishment, settings save, plugin
loader, calendar import, etc. all break the moment you front Bulwark
with nginx (or any proxy) at a sub-path.
### Fix
Add `apiFetch(input, init)` next to `getPathPrefix()` in
`lib/browser-navigation.ts`. It prepends the mount prefix to any
absolute path at call time:
await apiFetch('/api/foo')
// /webmail/en/inbox → /webmail/api/foo
// /en/inbox → /api/foo
Same runtime-detection model as `getPathPrefix()` — the built bundle
works at any mount point without rebuilding or env-var config.
Protocol-relative (`//cdn...`) and absolute (`https://...`) URLs pass
through unchanged. Server-side route handlers are untouched (the mount
prefix is a browser-only concept).
### Migration
Mechanical rewrite of every client-side `fetch('/api/...')` call in
hooks/, lib/, stores/, components/, app/ — 99 call sites across
26 files. `route.ts` handlers and other server-only files are skipped.
### Compat
- No behaviour change when mounted at `/` (the common case): an empty
prefix + raw path is identical to raw path.
- No new config knobs, env vars, or build flags.
- Supersedes PR #181 (which required a build-time `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH`)
— will close#181 after this lands.
### Testing
Should run the existing suite; smoke-tested by Jabali Panel which
reverse-proxies Bulwark at `/webmail/` (https://github.com/shukiv/jabali-panel).
Adds a GitHub Action that builds the Next.js standalone output on
release and attaches architecture-specific tarballs (amd64 + arm64)
as release assets. Downstream projects can download and extract
instead of building from source.
Closes#178
