Use case: sign .docx/.xlsx/.pptx preserving package (OOXML signature part), output still opens in LibreOffice/Word.
Reference: decompiled/sources/es/gob/afirma/signers/ooxml/ (19 classes: OOXMLXAdESSigner, OOXMLZipHelper, RelationshipsParser) + odf/ (4).
Scope: signature-2016 format (XAdES v1.3.2 shape), zip surgery in TS (fflate), c14n reuse from #7.
Acceptance:
soffice --headless --convert-to pdfsmoke and shows signature in LibreOffice signature panelDepends on #7.
UNBLOCK NOTICE: dependency policy relaxed — do not wait for #5 to merge. Work against this interface contract (web/src/lib/certs.ts, being finalized in #5):
Until #5 lands: mock LoadedCert in your branch (test RSA/EC key + self-signed cert generated at test time via openssl/node:crypto — commit no binaries). Test fixtures for golden vectors come from reference implementations (openssl for CAdES, xmlsec1 for XAdES) or generated by scripts at test setup. Resolve merge conflicts vs bullet-develop at integration; keep web/src/lib/certs.ts imports behind a thin adapter if the API shifts.

issue/10-use-case-ooxml-signing-docx-xl(resumed at079c4eb; sessions 1–2 already committed the signer). Doing: get a real LibreOffice verdict on the signed docx (dnf-installed LO 7.1.8 + trusted test cert), fix the signer if LO rejects it.Plan — #10 OOXML signing (docx/xlsx/pptx) via XAdES over OOXML
Restated goal
Add a client-side OOXML signer to
web/: given a.docx/.xlsx/.pptxpackage, produce a newpackage that still opens in Word/LibreOffice and carries an OOXML digital-signature part
(
_xmlsignatures/sig-<uuid>.xml) holding ads:Signaturewhose XAdES v1.3.2 EPES qualifyingproperties live in an object, per ECMA-376 Part 2 §10 + OOXML MDSSI
SignatureTime, mirroringwhat
decompiled/.../signers/ooxml/does. The private key stays in the browser (WebCrypto);zip surgery is done with
fflate.Done = a Vitest test that (a) builds minimal valid docx and xlsx fixtures at test time, (b) signs
them, (c) re-reads the produced zip, (d) recomputes every reference digest and verifies the RSA
signature independently (xmlsec1 1.3.12 /
openssl dgstwhen available), plus structuralasserts that Word/LibreOffice need (
[Content_Types].xmloverrides,_rels/.relsoriginrelationship,
_xmlsignatures/_rels/origin.sigs.rels,origin.sigs,unzip -tclean).Scope
Add:
web/src/lib/c14n.ts— XML Canonicalization 1.0 (inclusive + exclusive) over a DOM tree.Needed because #7's c14n is not in this base:
issue/7-use-case-xades-sign-in-browsertip isstill the #5 head (
27d86a5), no c14n code exists on any local branch. This file is the sharedseam #7/#8 are expected to reuse.
web/src/lib/ooxml.ts— package model (entry list via fflate,[Content_Types].xmllookup,relationships parse + MDSSI relationship transform, canonicalized relationship octets, minimal
DER reader for
X509SerialNumber/X509IssuerName), XAdES/XMLDSig assembly, RSA signing withWebCrypto, zip reconstruction,
[Content_Types].xml/_rels/.rels/origin.sigs.relsupdates.
web/src/lib/ooxml.test.ts— fixtures generated at test time (docx + xlsx), sign, independentverification, conditional

web/package.json,web/pnpm-lock.yaml— addfflate(issue names it; runtime dep for zip).Already added by

decompiled/**(read-only reference),original/**,extracted/**.web/src/lib/App.svelte,components/*,routes/*,i18n.ts,sign.ts): onthis base the app has no certificate source yet (#5 is not merged here), so there is nothing to
wire the signer to. The engine is exported as a library; wiring belongs to the flow issues.

sofficeis not installed on this machine and cannot be installed (unattended, no packagemanager rights assumed). Acceptance's
soffice --headless --convert-to pdfsmoke and theLibreOffice signature-panel check therefore cannot be executed here. Assumption: substitute the
strongest available independent evidence —
xmllint(c14n oracle),openssl dgst -verify(rawRSA signature),
xmlsec1 1.3.12 --verify(XMLDSig),unzip -t/pythonzipfile(packageintegrity) — and report the LibreOffice gap explicitly.
X509IssuerName/X509SerialNumberwith a ~40-line DER readerinside
ooxml.tsinstead of pulling in a cert parser (none exists on this base;x509.tsarrives with #5). Cross-checked against
openssl x509.ds:SignatureValue, SHA-256 digest forXAdES/part references, SHA-512 for the two
ds:Objectreferences (AutoFirma usesxmlenc#sha512for those; SHA-256 for the manifest contents).Risk & fallback
Mitigation:
xmllint --c14n/--exc-c14nbyte-diff on samples including inherited namespaces.Fallback if a case cannot be matched: restrict the produced signature to subtrees that declare
their own namespaces and use exclusive c14n only, and say so in the report.
the limitation, keep our own recompute +
openssl dgstverification as the crypto gate.possible blind; report the risk, and keep the structure byte-for-byte aligned with the
reference (part names, content types, relationship types,
origin.sigs).pnpm check/buildcould break on DOM typing (DOMParser,crypto.subtle). Fallback:type against
lib.domas the SvelteKit tsconfig already does.Session 2 addendum — verification only, no code change
Second dispatch of the same issue resumed on the identical tree (
079c4eb); nothing had beenedited since session 1 and every gate was re-run green. The only open item was the second half of
the acceptance ("shows signature in LibreOffice signature panel"), so session 2 spent its budget on
that and touched no repo file. New evidence gathered (all inside throwaway rootless podman
containers,
debian:bookworm-slim= LibreOffice 7.4.7 anddebian:trixie-slim):/tmp/issue10-loby a throwaway vitest file (created,run, deleted — never committed):
signed-self.docx(self-signed leaf) andsigned-leaf.docx(leaf issued by a locally generated CA), both produced by
signOoxmlPackage.soffice --headless --convert-to pdf) in LibreOffice 7.4.7.HasValidSignaturesisFalsefor both variants even after importing the signer certificateand its issuing CA into
~/.pki/nssdbwithcertutil -A -t "C,C,C"(LibreOffice's sharedNSS store), i.e. trust is not the visible cause.
libxmlsecurity.socarriesdigital-signature-xmlsignature+xml,origin.sigs,SignatureTime,RelationshipReference),but exposes no per-signature API headlessly: the model implements neither
XStorageBasedDocumentnorXDocumentSignatures(it does implement bareXStorage), thecom.sun.star.document.DocumentDigitalSignaturesservice cannot be instantiated (returnsNonewith and without a frame argument), and type reflection (
CoreReflection.forName) returnsNonefor the signature types — so
verifyDocumentContentSignatures/DocumentSignatureInformationstay unreachable. This means
HasValidSignaturescannot be interpreted: it isFalsefor"invalid signature", "untrusted certificate" and "not verification-capable" alike.
SAL_LOG="+WARN"output for a signed and an unsigned copy of the same package is byte-identical,so the build logs nothing about signature verification.
Session-2 conclusion: the panel acceptance remains unprovable in a headless container, and no
code change is justified by the evidence. Outcome stays
PARTIALfor that single criterion; see thereport for the exact reproducer a human with a desktop LibreOffice (or Word) should run.
Session-2 follow-up: LibreOffice 25.2.3.2 (Debian trixie) reproduced the 7.4.7 result exactly —
package opens and converts,
HasValidSignaturesremainsFalsewith the signer certificate and itsCA trusted in
~/.pki/nssdb, still no reachable per-signature API. Both containers were destroyedafter the checks; no repo file was touched. See the report for the human reproducer.
Session 3 addendum — LibreOffice verdict on the host, no code change unless LO rejects
Third dispatch, same tree (
079c4eb), nothing edited by sessions 1–2 since session 1. New factsthis session: the forge API answers with basic auth (
$BULLET_BASIC), not the bearer token, sothe claim/plan/done comments can finally be posted;
dnfreachesappstreamand offerslibreoffice-writer 7.1.8.1, and/usr/bin/docker+podmanexist, so a real LibreOffice isreachable without a desktop.
Goal of this session: replace the "LibreOffice verdict unreachable" conclusion of session 2 with an
actual verdict, since
HasValidSignaturesis the only interop signal available and sessions 1–2only ever read it as
Falseunder a hand-rolled UNO harness they could not validate.Ordered tasks (each with its check):
soffice --versionprints a version.signOoxmlPackage(throwaway vitest file, deleted before commit):signed-self.docx(self-signed leaf) andsigned-leaf.docx(leaf under a local CA) into/tmp/issue10/. Check:unzip -lshows_xmlsignatures/sig-*.xml.certutil -A -t "C,C,C"); checkcertutil -L -d ~/.pki/nssdb.soffice --headless --convert-to pdfon the signed package. Check: exit 0 + PDF written.HasValidSignaturesand, if the model exposesthem,
getDocumentSignatures()/DocumentSignatureInformationentries. Check: a recordedresult, not an assumption — the harness must be validated by running it on an unsigned
control package (must report no signatures) so a
Falsecan be attributed.decompiled/.../relprovider/RelationshipTransformService+OOXMLPackageObjectHelper(theknown-good AutoFirma shape), fix
web/src/lib/ooxml.ts, re-run step 5. Check:pnpm test.Open questions / assumptions: LibreOffice 7.1.8 (el9) behaves like the 7.4.7/25.2 builds session 2
tested for package parsing; the self-signed test certificate is trusted in the system NSS store so
that "untrusted certificate" cannot masquerade as "invalid signature"; no repo file is edited unless
step 6 fires.
Risk & fallback: if the el9 package lacks the OOXML signature feature or a UNO bridge
(
python3-uno), fall back to the container route (Debian bookwormlibreoffice-writer python3-uno, network is up). If a verdict is still unreachable, the session is a verification-onlysession like session 2 and the outcome stays
PARTIALwith the same human reproducer.PARTIAL — OOXML signer + independent crypto verification + LibreOffice readability smoke are committed and green; the "signature panel" half of the acceptance stays unproven, now with an evidenced cause upstream of our package.
