#548

Changed

  • CI captures the bundled frontend's commit metadata right after the oitClient checkout and writes it to frontend-info.properties, so the reported values describe the exact build packaged into the jar rather than the latest commit of the frontend repository
  • GET /api/v1/version now returns a frontend object next to backend: commit id, short commit id, commit time, branch and the package.json version
  • Frontend metadata is optional - a local build has no frontend-info.properties, so the fields come back empty and the endpoint still returns 200
  • Blank values are normalised to null, and an unparsable commit date is logged and reported as null instead of failing application startup
  • Swagger: added the FrontendVersion schema and updated the endpoint description
  • Added the generated frontend-info.properties to .gitignore
  • Backend fields of the response are unchanged
  • Tests: frontend coverage in the version service and controller tests, plus a new test for property normalisation

Closes #548, closes #551

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Version information now includes bundled frontend commit, branch, timestamp, and version details.
    • Build metadata is generated automatically for the frontend and included in the application version response.
    • Frontend metadata is handled gracefully when unavailable or invalid.
  • Documentation

    • Updated version endpoint documentation to describe combined backend and frontend build information.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for frontend metadata parsing, missing values, whitespace normalization, and invalid timestamps.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The CI workflow captures frontend commit and package metadata. Spring loads this optional metadata and adds it to GET /api/v1/version. Missing or invalid frontend metadata produces empty fields without affecting backend version data.

Changes

Frontend version reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture frontend metadata
.github/workflows/main.yml, .gitignore
The workflow uses FRONTEND_REF and writes frontend commit, timestamp, branch, and package version metadata. The generated file is ignored.
Expose frontend version data
src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/config/VersionConfig.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/properties/FrontendVersionProperties.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/dao/dto/response/VersionResponse.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/service/VersionServiceImpl.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/controller/VersionController.java
The application loads optional frontend metadata, normalizes values, parses commit timestamps, and returns a documented frontend object.
Validate frontend version behavior
src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/properties/FrontendVersionPropertiesTest.java, src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/service/VersionServiceImplTest.java, src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/controller/VersionControllerTest.java
Tests cover populated metadata, missing metadata, blank-value normalization, invalid timestamps, and ISO-8601 timestamp conversion.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2a160

The CI workflow runs frontend dependency installation while the checkout token remains available, so a compromised install script could expose that token. The PR is otherwise mergeable, but credential persistence should be disabled or the bounded security risk explicitly accepted.

Poem

Frontend commits cross the build,
Into version fields neatly filled.
Missing data stays calm and clear,
Timestamps turn to instants here.
Backend facts remain in sight.

Set persist-credentials: false on the frontend checkout.

The "Checkout frontend repo" step uses the default actions/checkout@v4 behavior, which persists the GITHUB_TOKEN into the checked-out repository's git credentials. The subsequent "Build frontend" step runs pnpm install, which executes third-party install scripts. A malicious or compromised dependency could read the persisted token from frontend/.git/config and exfiltrate it.

Set persist-credentials: false since this checkout does not need to push back to the frontend repository.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify that FrontendVersionProperties is registered as a Spring bean somewhere.

VersionConfig only declares the @PropertySource. For FrontendVersionProperties to become an injectable bean, either @ConfigurationPropertiesScan (typically on the @SpringBootApplication class) or @EnableConfigurationProperties(FrontendVersionProperties.class) must exist elsewhere in the codebase, since FrontendVersionProperties carries no @Component annotation.

VersionServiceImpl injects FrontendVersionProperties directly, not through an ObjectProvider. If the bean is never registered, the application fails to start with an unsatisfied-dependency error, independent of whether frontend-info.properties exists.

Run the script below to confirm registration exists.
