Handoff: Phase 1 Publishing Pipeline - Subagent-Driven Development

Task(s)

Implementing Phase 1 of the publishing pipeline refactoring using the subagent-driven-development skill. This creates four internal pipeline components (Strategy, Validator, Executor, Notifier) for branch publishing using repository-based architecture.

Plan document: docs/plans/2025-12-14-phase-1-publishing-pipeline-combined-implementation.md

• src/Umbraco.Infrastructure/DependencyInjection/UmbracoBuilder.Services.cs:92-96 - DI registration
• src/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentPublishingService.cs - Added pipeline fields, constructor params, and PerformPublishBranchPipelineAsync method
• tests/Umbraco.Tests.Integration/Umbraco.Infrastructure/Services/Publishing/PublishingPipelineIntegrationTests.cs - 3 integration tests
• tests/Umbraco.Tests.Benchmarks/ContentPublishingPipelineBenchmarks.cs - Benchmark infrastructure

Learnings

1. ContentValidationResult naming collision: There are two types with this name in the codebase:

   • Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models.ContentEditing.ContentValidationResult (existing)
   • Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services.Publishing.ContentValidationResult (new pipeline type)
   • Fixed by using fully qualified names in ContentPublishingService.cs:199,251,278

2. PublishCulture extension method signature: The real method requires PropertyEditorCollection as a parameter, which wasn't in the plan. Had to add this dependency to PublishingExecutor.

3. RuntimeMoniker for .NET 10: Use RuntimeMoniker.Net10_0 (not Net100 as plan stated)

4. InternalsVisibleTo already configured: Umbraco.Core.csproj already exposes internals to Umbraco.Infrastructure at line 54.

5. Constants.Security.SuperUserId = -1: Defined in Constants-Security.cs:11

Action Items & Next Steps

1. Run Task 18 - Full Test Suite:

   dotnet build
   dotnet test tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Publishing"
   dotnet test tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests
   

2. Code Review for Task 17: Already passed, but was interrupted before marking complete

3. Update plan document: Mark remaining tasks as completed once verified

4. Use finishing-a-development-branch skill: After Task 18 passes, follow the skill to complete the branch (merge, PR, or cleanup options)

5. Performance baseline: After full verification, run the benchmark to establish baseline:

   dotnet run -c Release --project tests/Umbraco.Tests.Benchmarks -- --filter "*PublishingPipeline*"

Performance Gates (from plan)

• Throughput (50+ items): >= 2x improvement over legacy
• Memory allocations: <= legacy
• Correctness: 100% parity with existing tests

Key Architecture Decisions

• Pipeline components are internal (not public API yet)
• Uses IDocumentRepository instead of IContentService (avoids circular dependencies)
• PerformPublishBranchPipelineAsync runs in PARALLEL with legacy path (not replacing it)
• All components registered as Scoped services (appropriate for transaction-based operations)
