PROJECT SCOPED ARCHITECTURE IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
Comprehensive documentation system guides
๐ฏ Project-Scoped Architecture - Implementation Status
Date: October 28, 2025
Status: โ
Core Implementation COMPLETE - Ready for Testing
Build: โ
SUCCESS (All compilation errors fixed)
๐ Executive Summary
Successfully transformed the docs-angular application from a public-folder-root architecture to a project-scoped-root architecture. Users now explicitly select a project, which becomes the active context for all documentation browsing. The system maintains project selection across sessions using localStorage and enforces access control rules.
Key Architectural Changes
- โ Project selection is now explicit (via UI) instead of implicit (from URL)
- โ All documentation paths are project-scoped
- โ
State management via NGXS (
ProjectSelectionState) - โ
Flash persistence using
@gg-storagefor project state - โ Enhanced access control with cross-project rules
- โ
Clean break - no backward compatibility for old
/public/URLs
โ Completed Phases
Phase 1: Project Selection & Persistence System โ
- Created
ProjectSelectionState(NGXS) - Created
ProjectSelectionComponentwith project cards UI - Implemented
projectSelectedGuard - Added

projectScopeparameters throughout codebase
Phase 3: Navigation System โ

ProjectSelectionState - Removed URL-based project detection logic
- Added guard for
/select-projectroute to prevent doc loading
Phase 4: Access Control Enhancement โ
- Enhanced
AccessServicewithcanAccessProject() - Implemented
getAccessibleProjects()filtering - Added cross-project access rules support
- Preserved all existing visibility and password protection features
Phase 5: Structure & Discovery โ
- Updated
StructureSyncServiceto use project from state - Updated
FolderHierarchyServicefor project-scoped hierarchy - Removed legacy public/private folder detection
Phase 6: Component Updates โ
- Updated
ProjectSwitcherComponentto redirect to selection page - Updated
DynamicPageComponentwith UI route guards - Updated breadcrumbs generation in
NavigationService - Updated
SearchServicewith project-scoped access control
Phase 7: Routing & Proxy โ
- Transformed
app.routes.tswith proper route order - Added
/select-projectroute (MUST BE FIRST) - Applied
projectSelectedGuardto doc routes - Updated
proxy.conf.jsondocumentation
Phase 8: Circuit Breaker Fix โ
- Added guards in
NavigationServicefor UI routes - Added guards in
MarkdownServicefor UI routes - Added guards in
DynamicPageComponentfor UI routes - Documented fix in

๐ Architectural Flow
1. Application Startup
graph TD
A[App Loads] --> B[APP_INITIALIZER]
B --> C{Project in localStorage?}
C -->|Yes| D[Load Project to State]
C -->|No| E[Redirect to /select-project]
D --> F[Load Navigation Structure]
F --> G[Ready for Browsing]
E --> H[Show Project Selection UI]
H --> I[User Selects Project]
I --> D
2. Project Selection
// User selects project
await store.dispatch(new SelectProject(projectId)).toPromise();
// State updates
ProjectSelectionState โ currentProjectId, currentProjectMetadata
// Persistence
await GgStorageService.set('selectedProjectId', projectId);
// Navigation
router.navigate([`/${langPrefix}/${projectName}`]);
3. Documentation Browsing
// All services use ProjectSelectionState
const project = store.selectSnapshot(ProjectSelectionState.currentProjectMetadata);
// Paths are relative to project root
effectiveDocsPath = `docs/${project.language}/${project.name}/`;
// Navigation is scoped to current project
navigateTo('/libs/ux-portal'); // โ /GoGrab-Space/libs/ux-portal
4. Access Control
// Cross-project access check
AccessService.canAccessProject(targetProjectId)
โโ Always allowed: own project
โโ Public projects: check config.search.hasAccessToPublic
โโ Private projects: check if unlocked
// Search filtering
searchResults = searchIndex.filter(result =>
accessService.canAccessProject(result.projectId)
);
๐ฏ Key Features Implemented
โ Project Selection System
- Beautiful project cards UI with language filtering
- Password protection for private projects
- Persistent project selection across sessions
- Automatic redirect to selection page if no project active
โ Project-Scoped Routing
- URLs like
/GoGrab-Space/libs/ux-portalinstead of/public/libs/ux-portal - Language prefixes:
/es/GoGrab-Space/...for Spanish - Special routes (
/select-project,/admin) protected from doc loading
โ Access Control
- Project-level visibility settings (public/private)
- Password protection with unlock state persistence
- Cross-project access rules (configurable per project)
- Search results filtered by access permissions
โ State Management
- NGXS for reactive state
- Flash persistence (
@gg-storage) forlocalStorage - Project metadata cached for performance
- Navigation structure cached per project
โ Performance Optimizations
- Circuit breaker for failed file requests
- Debounced search with rate limiting
- Manifest caching
- LRU cache for hierarchy lookups
๐ Remaining Tasks
๐ง Build Scripts (High Priority)
-
scan-docs-structure.js- Update for project-scoped manifest -
scan-folders-config.js- Properly mark root projects withisRoot -
start-admin-server.js- Dynamic project serving
๐ Flash Persistence (Medium Priority)
- Implement LRU caching for project docs state
- Configure cache size and TTL per environment
- Add cache warming for frequently accessed projects
๐งช Testing (High Priority)
- Test project selection flow end-to-end
- Test navigation within selected project
- Test cross-project access rules
- Test persistence across page refreshes
- Test password protection and unlock flow
- Test search with access control
- Performance testing (cache hit rates, load times)
๐ Documentation (Medium Priority)
- Remove legacy public/private visibility code references
- Update user documentation for new project selection flow
- Document access control configuration in
docs-folders-config.json - Create migration guide for users
๐ Known Issues & Fixes
โ
FIXED: Circuit Breaker for /select-project
Issue: Application tried to load /docs/select-project.md causing circuit breaker activation.
Fix: Added guards in 4 layers:
app.routes.ts- Route order (special routes FIRST)NavigationService- Skip structure loading for UI routesMarkdownService- Skip content loading for UI routesDynamicPageComponent- Skip path updates for UI routes
Result: Clean execution, no file loading attempts for UI routes.

- Project switcher shows only accessible projects
Performance
- Project selection loads in < 100ms
- Navigation structure loads in < 500ms
- Search results return in < 300ms
- No memory leaks during project switching
๐ Next Steps
- User Testing - Get feedback on project selection UX
- Build Scripts - Update manifest generation for project-scoped paths
- Flash Persistence - Optimize with LRU caching
- Documentation - Update user guides and migration docs
- Performance Tuning - Monitor and optimize cache hit rates
