Implement KB sidebar persistence for Access Analyzer #20
Conversation
Solution 2 - Approach C: Build Script - Add scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js - Update package.json with KB copy scripts - Configure Access Analyzer 12.0 & 11.6 sidebars - Add gitignore rule for generated KB folders Target: Access Analyzer 12.0 and 11.6 Ready for testing
Changed the copy script to use actual version strings (e.g., "12.0") instead of URL-safe format (e.g., "12_0") for file system paths. Docusaurus expects docs folders to use the original version format with dots. This fix enables KB articles to be correctly copied into versioned docs folders and resolved by Docusaurus for sidebar generation. Phase 1 complete: KB sidebar persistence now working for Access Analyzer 12.0 and 11.6. Sidebar remains visible when navigating KB articles under versioned routes. Root cause: Line 156 used versionToUrl() result for destination path, but Docusaurus expects version folders to match the original format with dots. Impact before fix: - KB files copied to wrong locations (docs/accessanalyzer/12_0/kb/) - Docusaurus couldn't find KB content - Sidebar configuration failed with "No docs found in kb" errors Impact after fix: - KB files correctly copied to docs/accessanalyzer/12.0/kb/ - Sidebar autogeneration works correctly - Phase 1 validation successful: sidebar persists across KB navigation Testing: Verified with Access Analyzer 12.0 and 11.6 on macOS dev server. Related to commit 8aae584 (Initial Phase 1 implementation).
Implemented automatic link rewriting during KB content copy to fix 28 broken cross-reference links. The script now converts absolute KB links to relative paths and removes .md extensions. Changes: - Added rewriteKbLinks() function to convert absolute paths to relative - Added rewriteAndCopyMarkdownFile() to process markdown files during copy - Modified copyDirectorySync() to handle markdown files with link rewriting - Updated script documentation to describe link rewriting feature Link transformation examples: - Same-directory: /docs/kb/.../article.md → ./article - Cross-directory: /docs/kb/.../other/article.md → ../other/article - Removes .md extensions (Docusaurus best practice) - Preserves external links, images, and product doc links unchanged Testing: - Verified with Access Analyzer 12.0 and 11.6 - Dev server compiles successfully with zero link errors (was 28 before) - Manual testing confirms cross-reference links navigate correctly - Sidebar persistence maintained
Phase 3: Fix category folder labels to display as Title Case instead
of lowercase-hyphenated format.
Changes:
- Added CATEGORY_LABELS mapping with 12 category folder names
- Created generateCategoryFile() function to generate _category_.json
files with proper Title Case labels
- Modified copyDirectorySync() to generate category files after copying
subdirectories (excludes 0-images folder)
- Updated script documentation to include category generation feature
Result:
- Category folders now display as "Active Directory Auditing" instead
of "active-directory-auditing"
- 13 _category_.json files generated per version (root + 12 categories)
- All category labels render consistently in Title Case
Testing:
- Dev server: Category labels display correctly in Title Case format
- Production build: Build completes successfully with no errors or warnings#

Pull Request Review: KB Sidebar Persistence ImplementationOverviewThis PR implements a build-time script solution to copy Knowledge Base articles into versioned documentation folders, enabling sidebar persistence and fixing cross-references. The implementation is well-documented and thoughtfully designed. ✅ StrengthsCode Quality
Architecture
🔍 Issues & Recommendations1. Security: Path Traversal Validation Weakness (Medium Priority)Location: The path traversal check has a logic issue. Line 121 checks if // Current code checks if rel === '' (project root)
if (rel === '') {
throw new Error(`Destination cannot be project root: ${destPath}`);
}Issue: The destination pattern Recommendation: Clarify the intent of this check or remove it if it's not needed. The subsequent path traversal check on line 126 is the primary security control. 2. Bug: Link Rewriting Path Resolution (High Priority)Location: The const absoluteSourcePath = path.resolve(PROJECT_ROOT, sourceFilePath);Recommendation: Verify that 3. Performance: Redundant File System Operations (Low Priority)Location: The script removes and recreates the destination directory for every copy operation: if (fs.existsSync(destination)) {
if (!isDryRun) {
const removeSuccess = removeDirectorySync(destination);
// then creates it again in copyDirectorySync
}
}Recommendation: While this ensures a clean slate, consider if incremental updates would be more efficient for development workflows. This is acceptable for now but could be optimized if build times become an issue. 4. Code Quality: Inconsistent Error Handling Strategy (Medium Priority)Location: Throughout The script mixes error handling approaches:
Recommendation: While functional, consider documenting the error handling strategy more explicitly. The current approach is reasonable but could be clearer about when operations are fatal vs. recoverable. 5. Missing: Lockfile Not in .gitignore (Low Priority)The Recommendation: Add to 6. Edge Case: Regex Escaping in Link Rewriting (Low Priority)Location: The regex construction uses const kbLinkRegex = new RegExp(`\\[([^\\]]+)\\]\\(\\/docs\\/kb\\/${productName}\\/([^)]+\\.md)\\)`, 'g');Recommendation: If product names could contain special regex characters (unlikely but possible), escape them with a helper function or document the constraint that product names must be alphanumeric. 7. Test Coverage: No Automated Tests (High Priority)The PR includes no unit tests for the build script. While manual testing was performed, critical functions should have automated tests. Recommendation: Add tests for:
Example test structure: // tests/copy-kb-to-versions.test.js
const { rewriteKbLinks } = require('../scripts/copy-kb-to-versions');
describe('rewriteKbLinks', () => {
it('should convert absolute KB links to relative paths', () => {
const content = '[Link](/docs/kb/accessanalyzer/category/article.md)';
const result = rewriteKbLinks(content, 'docs/kb/accessanalyzer/category/test.md',
'docs/kb/accessanalyzer', 'accessanalyzer');
expect(result).toBe('[Link](./article)');
});
});8. Code Duplication: Category Label Mapping (Low Priority)The Recommendation: Consider if this mapping could be derived from existing configuration or if a single source of truth would be better. Current approach is acceptable but could be improved. 9. Documentation: Missing Rollback Instructions (Low Priority)The PR description and script comments don't include rollback/cleanup instructions if something goes wrong in production. Recommendation: Document:

Architecture
🔍 Issues & RecommendationsHigh Priority1. Missing Source Validation (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:420)Issue: The script checks if source exists but doesn't validate it's a directory. if (!fs.existsSync(config.source)) {
console.log(`⚠️ Source not found: ${config.source}`);
totalVersionErrors++;
continue;
}Recommendation: Add directory validation: if (!fs.existsSync(config.source)) {
console.log(`⚠️ Source not found: ${config.source}`);
totalVersionErrors++;
continue;
}
const sourceStats = fs.statSync(config.source);
if (!sourceStats.isDirectory()) {
console.log(`⚠️ Source is not a directory: ${config.source}`);
totalVersionErrors++;
continue;
}2. Error Counter Mutation Pattern (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:216-226, 260)Issue: Using Current: function copyDirectorySync(src, dest, kbSourceRoot, productName, errorCount) {
// errorCount is mutated throughout
}Recommendation: Return error count or use a class: function copyDirectorySync(src, dest, kbSourceRoot, productName) {
let errorCount = 0;
// ... process files
return { filesCount, categoriesCount, errorCount };
}3. Incomplete Path Normalization (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:182-214)Issue: Recommendation: Ensure consistent path handling throughout or document platform requirements. Medium Priority4. No Handling of Symbolic LinksIssue: Recommendation: Add symlink detection and appropriate handling: if (entry.isSymbolicLink()) {
console.log(` ⚠️ Skipping symbolic link: ${entry.name}`);
continue;
}5. Regex Performance in Large Files (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:184)Issue: Global regex with complex pattern runs on every markdown file. For very large KB content, this could be slow. Note: Probably not an issue with current content size (~242 files), but worth monitoring if KB grows significantly. 6. Missing Integration TestsObservation: The PR description mentions manual testing, but no automated tests were added. Recommendation: Consider adding:
7. Hard-Coded Configuration (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:36-42)Issue: Recommendation: Consider moving to a JSON config file or auto-discovering products from directory structure for better scalability. Low Priority8. Inconsistent Error Exit Codes (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:523)Observation: Script exits with code 1 for any errors (file-level or version-level), making it hard to distinguish failure types. Recommendation: Consider different exit codes for different error types if it would help CI/CD debugging. 9. Magic Numbers (scripts/copy-kb-to-versions.js:70)const tenMinutes = 10 * 60 * 1000;Recommendation: Move to top-level constant for easy configuration: const LOCK_TIMEOUT_MS = 10 * 60 * 1000; // 10 minutes10. .gitignore Pattern Breadth (

Refactor acquireLock() to attempt atomic lock creation first, then check for stale locks only on EEXIST. This eliminates the existsSync pre-check pattern that triggered CodeQL js/file-system-race alert. Changes: - Try O_CREAT|O_EXCL first (atomic, no pre-check) - Check mtime only if lock exists (EEXIST) - Retry atomic create after stale lock removal - Handle lock-disappeared race with recursive retry Resolves CodeQL js/file-system-race alert

2. Security
3. Maintainability
4. Thoughtful Implementation
🔍 Areas for Improvement1. Error Recovery & Logging (Minor)Issue: While error handling is robust, there's no structured logging or error aggregation for debugging. Recommendation: // Consider adding structured error logging
const errors = [];
function logError(context, error) {
errors.push({ context, error: error.message, timestamp: new Date().toISOString() });
console.log(` ⚠️ ${context}: ${error.message}`);
}
// At the end, optionally write errors to a log file
if (errors.length > 0 && !isDryRun) {
fs.writeFileSync('kb-copy-errors.json', JSON.stringify(errors, null, 2));
}Priority: Low (current implementation is adequate for most use cases) 2. Link Rewriting Edge Cases (Minor)Issue: The link rewriting regex (line 212) may not handle all edge cases:
Current code: const kbLinkRegex = new RegExp(`\\[([^\\]]+)\\]\\(\\/docs\\/kb\\/${productName}\\/([^)]+\\.md)\\)`, 'g');Recommendation: // More robust regex that handles anchors and query params
const kbLinkRegex = new RegExp(
`\\[([^\\]]+)\\]\\(\\/docs\\/kb\\/${productName}\\/([^)#?]+\\.md)([#?][^)]*)?\\)`,
'g'
);
return content.replace(kbLinkRegex, (match, linkText, targetPath, suffix = '') => {
// ... existing path resolution logic ...
return `[${linkText}](${relativePath}${suffix})`;
});Priority: Medium (could prevent broken links in production) 3. Performance Optimization (Minor)Issue: Current logic: if (fs.existsSync(destination)) {
if (!isDryRun) {
const removeSuccess = removeDirectorySync(destination);
// ...
}
}Recommendation: This is actually well-handled! The // removeDirectorySync already handles non-existent directories
if (!isDryRun) {
const removeSuccess = removeDirectorySync(destination);
if (removeSuccess && fs.existsSync(destination)) {
console.log(` 🗑️ Removed old KB folder`);
}

Use file descriptor-based fstatSync instead of path-based statSync to check lock file staleness. This eliminates the remaining TOCTOU pattern that triggered CodeQL js/file-system-race alert. Implementation: - Open existing lock file with O_RDONLY to get file descriptor - Use fstatSync(fd) instead of statSync(path) to read metadata - Handle race condition if lock disappears between EEXIST and open - Limit retry attempts to 2 (initial + one stale removal) Resolves CodeQL js/file-system-race alert

}Issue: If the lock file is deleted between the EEXIST check and the openSync call, the code continues to the next iteration but doesn't reset the loop attempt counter. After 2 such races, the function throws an error even though no lock actually exists. Recommendation: This is minor since it's unlikely, but consider either:

Summary
Implements KB sidebar persistence for versioned Access Analyzer documentation using Solution 2 - Approach C (Build Script). This allows users to navigate Knowledge Base articles while maintaining sidebar visibility and functional cross-references.
Problem
Previously, KB articles were in a central location (docs/kb/accessanalyzer/) which caused sidebar navigation issues in versioned documentation. Users would lose sidebar context when clicking KB links, and cross-references between KB articles were broken.
Solution
Created a build script that copies KB content into each versioned docs folder during the prestart phase, with automatic link transformation and category label generation.
