Problem

Entities can be used across scopes. The common case is a DAM that is shared between several sites, so one file is used by pages living in different content scopes.

The "Dependents" and "Dependencies" lists built their links from the currently active scope: resolvePath() deliberately returns a scope-less path, and the lists prefixed it with contentScope.match.url. Opening an entry that belongs to another scope therefore led to a wrong or non-existent page.

Solution

The API delivers the scope of each entry, and the lists use it to build the link. The EntityInfo view gets a scopes column, resolved with the existing resolveScopesToSql() (from the entity's scope property or its @ScopedEntity() decorator). block_index_dependencies picks the scope up from the joins it already has (ei_root/ei_target), and Dependency exposes it as a nullable scope field.

In the Admin, resolveDependencyScope() determines which scope to open: the entry's scope merged into the active one — merging rather than replacing is what makes incomplete scopes work, so a DAM file scoped by domain only keeps the active language — or, when the user has no access to that combination, the first of their scopes containing the entry's scope. An entry whose scope matches none of the user's scopes is not linked at all. A "Scope" column is shown when the project has more than one scope.

Both lists take their query from the outside, so projects have to request the new field. Without it, the links keep today's behavior instead of breaking:

  dependents(offset: $offset, limit: $limit, forceRefresh: $forceRefresh, filter: $filter, sort: $sort) {
      nodes {
          rootGraphqlObjectType
          rootId
          rootColumnName
          jsonPath
          name
          secondaryInformation
          visible
+         scope
      }
      totalCount
  }

Screencasts

Same setup: a DAM asset is used both on the English and the German homepage.

Before: the link to the German homepage doesn't resolve.

After: the link to the German homepage resolves.

Performance

I let Claude analyze the performance impact of adding the scope to the views:

  • Refresh of block_index_dependencies takes about 22% longer
  • Size of the views increases by 28%
  • Reading the view remains unchanged

IMO we can accept the increases since they only affect the write path.

Performance analysis

The change touches a materialized view, so here are numbers. Both view definitions were run interleaved in one session on the same data (Demo: 8,757 dependency rows, 9,243 EntityInfo rows).

Refresh of block_index_dependencies — the recurring cost, at most every 5 minutes and in the background:

runs mean
before 3.50 / 3.64 / 3.74 s 3.63 s
after 4.42 / 4.49 / 4.51 s 4.47 s

+0.85 s (≈ +22%). A third variant (new EntityInfo, old column list in the materialized view) splits it up: +0.18 s (≈5%) for the two extra LEFT JOINs in EntityInfo (DamFile, PageTreeNode, both on primary keys), +0.66 s (≈17%) for materializing the two jsonb columns. The cost is in writing the columns, not in resolving the scopes.

Size: matview heap 2184 kB → 2792 kB (+608 kB, +28%; +23% counting the two indexes, which are unchanged). That is ~70 bytes per dependency rowpg_column_size averages 31 B for rootScope and 41 B for targetScope, plus row overhead.

Read path: unchanged. The query the lists actually run (filter on targetEntityName/targetId, order, LIMIT 25) measured 2.56 ms before and 2.60 ms after. The extra bytes live on disk and in the page cache, not in the API process — a request still materializes only its page of 25 rows.

Both numbers scale linearly with the number of dependency rows: a project whose refresh takes 60 s today would land at roughly 73 s, a 100 MB matview at roughly 123 MB. The alternative — resolving the scope per request instead of materializing it — would trade a background cost for a foreground one, and EntityInfo is expensive to evaluate ad hoc (a UNION over every entity, including the recursive DAM folder-path CTE), which is exactly why it is pre-joined into this view in the first place. If the refresh cost ever becomes a problem, the lever is the refresh cadence rather than this column.

Design decisions

  • Entities using a @ScopedEntity() callback or service report no scope, as it cannot be resolved in SQL. Those entries keep linking into the active scope. Switching such an entity to the field-path (@ScopedEntity("company.scope")) or object-mapping (@ScopedEntity({ companyId: "company.id" })) variant makes its scope available.
  • Entities with multiple scopes (an array @ScopedEntity) report their first scope.

Further information

Task: https://vivid-planet.atlassian.net/browse/DEX-3135

https://claude.ai/code/session_01UPHi52TAjb3P9aM5DX8ReX

Entities can be used across scopes, for instance a DAM that is shared
between multiple sites. The dependents and dependencies lists built
their links with the currently active scope, so a link to an entry from
another scope led to a wrong or non-existent page. The lists also didn't
show which scope an entry belongs to.

Resolve the scope of each entity into the EntityInfo view (from its
scope property or its @ScopedEntity decorator, and from the page tree
node for documents) and expose it as Dependency.scope. Both lists use it
to build the link and to show a scope column when more than one scope
exists. An entry from a scope the user has no access to is no longer
linked.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Dependency and dependent lists now display content scope information when multiple scopes are available.
    • Links respect the active content scope, with unavailable actions disabled and clearly explained.
    • Scope-aware dependency data is now available through the API.
    • Content scope labels are more readable and consistently formatted.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on scope-aware dependencies, supported configurations, limitations, and index recreation requirements.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for scope labels, scope comparisons, dependency scope resolution, and unsupported configurations.

Walkthrough

The API now resolves and exposes dependency scopes. Admin dependency lists display scope labels and use scope-aware navigation. Queries, documentation, tests, schemas, and release metadata support the new field.

Changes

Scope-aware dependency support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Entity scope resolution
packages/api/cms-api/src/entity-info/*

Dependency entities, GraphQL types, materialized views, and result mapping now carry root or target scope data.
Scope-aware admin navigation
packages/admin/cms-admin/src/contentScope/*, packages/admin/cms-admin/src/dependencies/*
Dependency lists show scope labels when multiple scopes exist. DependencyActions validates scope access and resolves scoped URLs.
Query consumers and documentation

Dependency queries request scope. Documentation and release metadata describe scope-aware dependency behavior.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1a950

Dependency lists now show scope-aware labels and links, disabling navigation when no accessible scope is available. No merge-blocking risk remains.

active scope with contentScope.scope before validating; use the complete merged
scope for isScopePartOf and disable both actions when that final scope is not
allowed. Add a regression test covering allowed scopes {domain: "main",

The Dependency type comes from cms-api, so brevo-api's generated schema
carries the field as well. The Lint pipeline regenerates every schema and
fails when a committed one differs.

The check whether an entry may be opened ran against the entry's own
scope, while the link was built from that scope merged into the active
one. For an incomplete scope those differ: with access to main/de and
secondary/en, an entry scoped to the main domain passed the check while
the link led to main/en.

Resolve the scope to open first and validate that one, falling back to
the first available scope containing the entry's scope.

This doesn't check if the user has permission to the respective feature in the dependency's scope. But this is a bigger problem and out-of-scope of this PR.
