This PR adds fundamental support for UVF-based vaults. During vault creation either format is selected. There is no migration of format 8 based vaults planned. Vault access tokens either contain a format 8 Masterkey OR a UVF member key (which is an A256KW key for the vault.uvf file).

Notable changes:

  1. split up crypto implementation into uvf.ts and vaultv8.ts, leaving common crypto in crypto.ts
  2. make jwe.ts capable of handling compact as well as json serialization with support for ECDH-ES (legacy, decrypt only), ECDH-ES+A256KW, PBES2+A256KW and A256KW, allowing encryption for multiple recipients
  3. add new vault fields to database and DTOs to allow storing a vault.uvf file as well as the public part of a recovery key pair
  4. instead of serializing the masterkey, the recovery key consists of a serialized private key

TODO

  • bump API level

11-13: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the operator precedence in the JsonWebKeySet.keys type.

TypeScript reads JsonWebKey & { kid?: string }[] as JsonWebKey & ({ kid?: string }[]). It does not read it as an array of JWKs with an optional kid. Each element is typed as { kid?: string } only. As a result, UniversalVaultFormat.getRecoveryPublicKeyFromJwks in frontend/src/common/universalVaultFormat.ts must cast with key as JsonWebKey twice. Add parentheses so the type matches the RFC 7517 shape, then remove the casts.

♻️ Proposed fix
 export type JsonWebKeySet = {
-  keys: JsonWebKey & { kid?: string }[] // RFC defines kid, but webcrypto spec does not
+  keys: (JsonWebKey & { kid?: string })[] // RFC defines kid, but webcrypto spec does not
 };

Review comments at
@backend/src/main/java/org/cryptomator/hub/api/SettingsResource.java:
- Around line 78-80: Update SettingsResource.put so omitted automatic-grant
fields in an older SettingsDto do not default to false or 0 and overwrite stored
settings; preserve the existing values when those fields are absent, or
reject/version the older payload. Ensure SettingsService.put receives the
intended values.

Review comments at
@backend/src/main/java/org/cryptomator/hub/api/VaultResource.java:
- Around line 544-558: Update the null check in getUvfKeys to check
vault.getUvfKeySet() instead of vault.getUvfMetadataFile(), so a missing key set
raises NotFoundException before it is returned.

Review comments at @frontend/src/common/jwe.ts:
- Around line 380-381: Update the GCM output split in the encryption method
around `ciphertextAndTag` so `ciphertext` contains the first `m.byteLength`
bytes and `tag` contains the remaining 16 bytes. This ensures the serialized JWE
has the required tag length, including when the plaintext is shorter than 16
bytes.

Review comments at @frontend/src/common/universalVaultFormat.ts:
- Around line 143-147: Update the padding validation in the UVF decoding flow to
reject empty decoded input, padding lengths outside 1–3, and inputs too short to
contain the padding and key data before slicing; malformed recovery keys must
raise DecodeUvfRecoveryKeyError rather than reach key import.
- Line 394: Update the `org.cryptomator.hub.canonical` URL construction to
append `vaults/` directly to `apiURL`, avoiding a duplicate slash when the base
URL ends in `/api/`. Apply the same path correction to the relative `jku` URL so
both resolve to the Hub UVF endpoint.

Review comments at @frontend/src/components/AdminSettings.vue:
- Around line 586-590: Move the assignments to
initialAutomaticAccessGrantSettings.value in the save flow after the awaited
backend.settings.update(settings) succeeds, so failed updates do not mark
attempted values as saved. Keep the existing baseline values and error handling
unchanged.
- Line 261: Update the autoGrantTrustThreshold input and
saveAutomaticAccessGrant validation to accept the API-supported range beginning
at -1, and update the associated validation error text to match. Preserve
rejection of values below -1 and allow saving other automatic-grant changes when
the stored threshold is -1.
- Line 371: Update fetchData so enableAutomaticAccessGrant and the other
settings assignments occur before awaiting versionAvailable, or otherwise ensure
update-discovery failures cannot skip settings initialization; preserve the
nonfatal handling of FetchUpdateError.

Review comments at @frontend/src/components/CreateVault.vue:
- Around line 776-783: Move the invalid-state guard in downloadVaultTemplate
inside its try block so the existing catch path sets onDownloadTemplateError
when neither vaultFormat8.value nor uvfVault.value is available.
- Around line 596-607: In validateAndSetMetadataFile, anchor the filename check
to accept only exact vault.cryptomator or vault.uvf names, and clear
vaultMetadata in the error path so a failed upload cannot leave earlier metadata
or success state in place.
- Around line 144-146: Update the recovery-key error branch in the CreateVault
template to use v-else-if and check onCreateError instead of onRecoverError,
preserving the preceding validation-error branch so validation failures do not
also display an unexpected error.

Review comments at @frontend/src/components/EditVaultMetadataDialog.vue:
- Around line 116-118: Update the DTO construction in the save flow to assign
the edited name from vaultName.value to dto.name before calling
createOrUpdateVault, while preserving the existing description update.

Review comments at
@frontend/src/components/emergencyaccess/EmergencyAccessDialog.vue:
- Around line 771-772: Update the emergency recovery grant flow using
activatedUsersToGrant so its member records retain the vault role, then pass
whether each member is an OWNER to vaultKeys.encryptForUser. Ensure owners
selected during CHANGE_PERMISSIONS recovery receive owner-level tokens.

Review comments at @frontend/src/components/RecoverVaultDialog.vue:
- Around line 107-112: Update the recovery flow to select the vault format with
isUvfVault(props.vault): for UVF, recover using UniversalVaultFormat.recover
with props.vault.uvfMetadataFile and the recovery key, then call encryptForUser;
retain VaultFormat8.recover for Vault Format 8.

Review comments at @frontend/src/i18n/de-DE.json:
- Line 167: Correct the German grammar in the
`createVault.enterRecoveryKey.description` translation by changing “einen neue
Tresor” to “einen neuen Tresor”; also capitalize “Ersetzen” in the related
translation’s “Zum Ersetzen” phrase.

Review comments at @frontend/test/common/jwe.spec.ts:
- Around line 48-50: Update the compactSerialization assertion to invoke
toCompact() through the jwe instance, preserving its this binding, and assert
the expected exactly-one-recipient error message so the test verifies the
recipient-count guard.

🟠 Major · Preserve UVF fields on metadata-only updates. · VaultResource.java:711-712

backend/src/main/java/org/cryptomator/hub/api/VaultResource.java:711-712
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve UVF fields on metadata-only updates.

The method contract says an update considers only name and description, but these setters also run for existing vaults. If an update omits either UVF field or sends null, it erases the stored value. The frontend then fails isUvfVault and selects Format 8 recovery.

Set these fields only when creating a vault, or preserve existing values on updates. The frontend requires both strings to identify a UVF vault (frontend/src/common/backend.ts, Lines 55–60) and otherwise uses Format 8 recovery (frontend/src/components/RecoverVaultDialog.vue, Lines 105–115).

Proposed fix
-		vault.setUvfMetadataFile(vaultDto.uvfMetadataFile);
-		vault.setUvfKeySet(vaultDto.uvfKeySet);
+		if (existingVault.isEmpty()) {
+			vault.setUvfMetadataFile(vaultDto.uvfMetadataFile);
+			vault.setUvfKeySet(vaultDto.uvfKeySet);
+		}
