Handoff: ContentService Phase 1 CRUD Extraction

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 IN PROGRESS (not started)
4 Register ContentCrudService in DI Pending
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/ContentServiceBase.cs - NEW: Abstract base class with shared infrastructure (DocumentRepository, AuditService, UserIdKeyResolver), Audit/AuditAsync helper methods
  2. src/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentServiceConstants.cs - NEW: Static class with DefaultBatchPageSize = 500
  3. src/Umbraco.Core/Services/IContentCrudService.cs - NEW: Interface with 23 methods (Create x6, Read x8, Tree Traversal x5, Save x2, Delete x1)
  4. tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests/Umbraco.Infrastructure/Services/ContentServiceBaseTests.cs:226 - Updated type lookup to Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services.ContentServiceBase, Umbraco.Core

Learnings

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

  2. Test File Discrepancy: The tracking test in ContentServiceBaseTests.cs was written before the final plan. The plan is authoritative - had to update the test to look for the class in Umbraco.Core instead of Umbraco.Infrastructure.

  3. Implicit Usings: .NET 10 has using System; implicit, so the code quality reviewer's suggestion to add it was not necessary (build succeeded without it).

  4. Spec Accuracy: The spec's code sample for ContentServiceBase.cs was missing using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models; which is required for UmbracoObjectTypes.Document.GetName(). Implementation correctly added it.

  5. Commit Hashes:

    • Task 1: c9ff758aca - ContentServiceBase + ContentServiceConstants
    • Task 2: b72db59957 - IContentCrudService interface

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)

Action Items & Next Steps

  1. Resume Task 3: Create ContentCrudService Implementation

    • Dispatch implementer subagent with Task 3 content from the plan
    • This is the largest task (~750 lines of implementation code)
    • Includes unit tests in tests/Umbraco.Tests.UnitTests/Umbraco.Core/Services/ContentCrudServiceTests.cs
  2. Continue subagent-driven pattern:

    • For each task: dispatch implementer → spec reviewer → code quality reviewer
    • Mark task complete only after both reviews pass
    • Update TodoWrite after each task completion
  3. Remaining Tasks 4-8: Follow the plan exactly as specified

  4. 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 Pattern: dotnet test tests/Umbraco.Tests.Integration --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ContentService"
  • The plan has been through 5 critical reviews - see "Critical Review Changes Applied" sections at bottom of plan document
