yv01p 9962df50ee feat(core): register IContentCrudService in DI container
Adds IContentCrudService registration to UmbracoBuilder alongside
IContentService. Both services are now resolvable from DI.

Includes integration test verifying successful resolution.

Handoff: ContentService Phase 1 CRUD Extraction - Resume at Task 4

Task(s)

Primary Task: Execute Phase 1 of ContentService refactoring using subagent-driven development methodology.

Phase 1 Goal: Extract CRUD operations (Create, Get, Save, Delete) from the monolithic ContentService (3823 lines) into a dedicated IContentCrudService interface and ContentCrudService implementation.

Task Status (8 total):

# Task Status
1 Create ContentServiceBase Abstract Class COMPLETED
2 Create IContentCrudService Interface COMPLETED
3 Create ContentCrudService Implementation COMPLETED
4 Register ContentCrudService in DI IN PROGRESS (not started)
5 Update ContentService to Delegate CRUD Operations Pending
6 Add Benchmark Regression Enforcement Pending
7 Run Phase 1 Gate Tests Pending
8 Update Phase Tracking Documentation Pending

Critical References

  1. Implementation Plan: docs/plans/2025-12-20-contentservice-refactor-phase1-implementation.md - Contains complete task specifications including code to implement
  2. Design Document: docs/plans/2025-12-19-contentservice-refactor-design.md - Overall refactoring architecture
  3. Skill Being Used: superpowers:subagent-driven-development - Dispatch fresh subagent per task with two-stage review

Recent changes

  1. src/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentCrudService.cs - NEW: Full CRUD service implementation (~750 lines)
    • 23 public methods (6 Create, 9 Read, 5 Tree Traversal, 2 Save, 1 Delete)
    • 7 private helpers (SaveLocked, DeleteLocked, GetContentTypeLocked, etc.)
    • Fixed all 5 issues from code quality review (batch audit bug, RecycleBinContent check, null checks, trashed parent validation, notification publishing)
  2. tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentCrudServiceTests.cs - NEW: 8 unit tests, all passing
    • Fixed mocking issue with ContentCultureInfos (used real instance instead of mock)

Learnings

  1. Subagent Workflow: Each task requires three subagents: implementer, spec reviewer, code quality reviewer. Only proceed after both reviews pass.

  2. Test Mocking Limitation: ContentCultureInfos.Culture is a non-virtual property and cannot be mocked. Use real instances: new ContentCultureInfos("en-US").

  3. Lock Ordering: Always acquire locks in order: ContentTree (write) → ContentTypes (read) → Languages (read). SaveLocked requires both ContentTree and Languages locks.

  4. Validation Placement: Save validation (PublishedState, name length) MUST be inside SaveLocked, not in public Save method, to prevent race conditions.

  5. GetParent Special Cases: Must check for both Constants.System.Root AND Constants.System.RecycleBinContent as parent IDs that should return null.

  6. Commit Hashes:

    • Task 1: c9ff758aca - ContentServiceBase + ContentServiceConstants
    • Task 2: b72db59957 - IContentCrudService interface
    • Task 3: 0351dc06b4 - ContentCrudService implementation (after all fixes)

Artifacts

  • docs/plans/2025-12-20-contentservice-refactor-phase1-implementation.md - Complete implementation plan (2396 lines) with all 8 tasks
  • src/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentServiceBase.cs - Abstract base class (69 lines)
  • src/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentServiceConstants.cs - Constants class (12 lines)
  • src/Umbraco.Core/Services/IContentCrudService.cs - Interface (251 lines)
  • src/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentCrudService.cs - Implementation (~750 lines)
  • tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentCrudServiceTests.cs - Unit tests (8 tests)

Action Items & Next Steps

  1. Resume Task 4: Register ContentCrudService in DI

    • Dispatch implementer subagent with Task 4 content from the plan
    • Add Services.AddUnique<IContentCrudService, ContentCrudService>(); to src/Umbraco.Core/DependencyInjection/UmbracoBuilder.cs around line 300 (before IContentService registration)
    • Add integration test to verify DI resolution
    • Run: spec reviewer → code quality reviewer → mark complete
  2. Continue with Tasks 5-8: Follow the plan exactly as specified

    • Task 5: Update ContentService to delegate CRUD to ContentCrudService (largest remaining task)
    • Task 6: Add benchmark regression enforcement
    • Task 7: Run Phase 1 gate tests
    • Task 8: Update documentation
  3. Final Steps (after Task 8):

    • Dispatch final code reviewer for entire implementation
    • Use superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch skill

Other Notes

  • Methodology: Using superpowers:subagent-driven-development skill - fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality)
  • Prompt Templates Location: /home/yv01p/.claude/plugins/cache/superpowers-marketplace/superpowers/4.0.0/skills/subagent-driven-development/
  • Build Command: dotnet build src/Umbraco.Core/Umbraco.Core.csproj
  • Test Command: dotnet test tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ContentCrudServiceTests"
  • The plan has been through 5 critical reviews - see "Critical Review Changes Applied" sections at bottom of plan document
  • Task 4 is small: Just one line addition to UmbracoBuilder.cs + integration test
