Changelog & Roadmap


Changelog

v2026.08.9 — Changelog gains ci and repo scopes, and stops crashing on an unknown one (August 2026)

Three entries in the previous release changed no deployable's code at all, and the scope field offered only frontend, backend and both — so none of the three was true for them. Labelling any of it both would have told a reader that a release touching only .github/ had changed application code. ci now covers pipeline and supply-chain work, mirroring the tag ronl-business-api already uses so both repositories label the same kind of work the same way; repo covers everything else that ships no application code — documentation, and the Operaton deploy bundles under examples/ and e2e-fixtures/. Those bundles are worth distinguishing from a frontend change, because the frontend serves its own copies from packages/frontend/public/examples/, while the root directories are read only by the backend's tests and deployed to Operaton separately.

An unrecognised scope would have taken the whole panel down. The commit-type union had no ci, but unknown types fall back to other, so a ci entry rendered as a generic document icon — filing an entire supply-chain effort under "other" rather than crashing. ScopeBadge had no such fallback: changelog.json is imported as untyped JSON and cast at the module boundary, so TypeScript never checks the scope strings the data actually carries. An unrecognised one reached SCOPE_BADGE[scope], yielded undefined, and would fail on config.cls. The type system cannot help here by construction, which is what makes the guard — not the types — the thing that made the new scope tags safe to introduce.

The release command lands through a pull request. Two steps of /bump-release were not merely out of date but impossible: it fast-forwarded acc locally and asked separately about pushing, and both halves are now rejected, because acc requires a pull request and a passing audit. It pushes the branch and opens a pull request instead — merging is the push. The merge method is called out explicitly, because both alternatives silently break the changelog entry that names every commit by SHA: squash collapses them into one new commit, and rebase replays them as new commits, preserving the count while replacing every hash. A new first step reconciles open Renovate pull requests, which rewrite package-lock.json — the same file a version bump edits.


v2026.08.8 — Four advisories closed, and a formatter that reformatted five untouched files (August 2026)

Twenty-three backend packages were brought up to date, of which exactly one carried an advisory: express 4.18.2 → 4.22.2. The rest — helmet, pg, winston, dotenv, cors, sparql-http-client and the TypeScript, ESLint and Jest toolchain — are routine currency rather than security work, and are recorded as such rather than presented as advisory fixes.

Three further advisories closed through the security fast-lane, which clears the 14-day cooldown for known advisories — the one class of update that must not wait. axios ^1.6.5 → ^1.18.0 (lockfile 1.20.0), spanning fourteen minor releases and the widest jump in this release; fast-xml-parser ^5.3.5 → ^5.7.0 (lockfile 5.11.1); and vite ^6.2.0 → ^6.4.3. The split between a raised floor and a newer resolved version is rangeStrategy: bump working as intended: raise the range to the safe minimum, let the lockfile pin what is current.

Only one of the three ran a full check. The frontend workflow triggers on pull requests, so the vite update ran lint, tests and a preview deploy; the backend workflow triggers on push only, so the axios and fast-xml-parser updates had no pull-request check that said anything about whether a dependency had broken something. Both were verified against the full backend suite locally before merging. The same asymmetry meant concurrently's branch was never rebased — it did not conflict — so the merge was trialled locally first and the lockfile checked with npm ci, because a clean textual merge of two lockfile diffs can still produce a file npm refuses.

Prettier 3.9 reformatted five files nobody had touched. It formats short union types on a single line where 3.7 produced the leading-pipe multiline style, so those five began failing prettier --check the moment the upgrade landed. No workflow runs check-format — the deploy workflows run lint and tests only — so nothing in CI reported it. The gate that catches this is the pre-push hook, which means the symptom would otherwise have been the next person's push failing on files they had never opened.


v2026.08.7 — Supply-chain pinning enforced, and a silently inert Renovate (August 2026)

Cross-repository detail: Supply-chain gate.

Nothing this pipeline downloads or executes may float. All twenty action references across the six deployment workflows are now commit digests with their version in a trailing comment, and a zizmor gate refuses any pull request that reintroduces a floating tag. Findings go from 40 to 0. Each workflow also gains the hardening zizmor was reporting: persist-credentials: false on checkout, explicit workflow and job permissions, and a concurrency group keyed on the pull-request number rather than the ref — because github.ref alone puts the pull_request(closed) teardown and the push deploy that a merge fires into one group, where they cancel each other at random.

renovate.json supplies the other half of the policy: a 14-day cooldown with internalChecksFilter: strict, cleared by vulnerabilityAlerts for known advisories, and dependencies grouped per workspace. SECURITY-PIPELINE.md records what is pinned and, more importantly, what is not — the static-web-apps-deploy Docker image behind four workflows, and the backend deploy step's lockfile-less npm install.

Renovate had been opening nothing at all. It validates strictly and rejects unknown options, so the five "//"-prefixed keys used as JSON comments were read as five invalid settings rather than ignored, and Renovate stopped raising pull requests as a precaution. That is correct behaviour from it — but it meant the half of the supply-chain policy that keeps pins current was inert from the moment it landed. Pins without updates decay into an unpatched tree, so a silently inert Renovate is precisely the failure the audit exists to prevent. Every comment moved to a description field, valid at the top level and inside any nested object; no policy changed, only the annotation style.

The gate now validates the configuration too. renovate-config-validator runs as a second step in the same audit job, so it is covered by the existing required status check and needs no ruleset change. It runs under if: always(), so a zizmor failure cannot hide a broken configuration behind it, and with no filename argument — passing one switches the validator into global-config mode, which applies different rules than the repository config this file actually is. --strict earned its place immediately: it fails on configuration Renovate would silently auto-migrate, which surfaced baseBranches, renamed upstream to baseBranchPatterns and therefore invisible on every previous run.

The validator runs on the Node version Renovate requires. renovate@44.50.3 declares engines.node ^24.11.0 while the runner defaults to Node 22, and npm accepts that mismatch with an EBADENGINE warning rather than refusing — so the validator had been running unsupported and still reporting green. setup-node is placed before the zizmor step rather than beside the validator it serves: a step following a failed one is skipped, so putting it after would leave the validator's if: always() running on whatever Node the runner defaulted to, precisely when zizmor had already failed and the logs were being read.


v2026.08.6 — A ValidSign signature on the R2.1 phase exit (August 2026)

One attribute is the switch for the whole signing feature. ronl:signatureRef="rip-pdp" is added to Task_AccorderenProjectplan4 — the "Accorderen Projectplan 4. Uitgangspunten VO-fase" task that closes R2.1. The RONL Business API resolves ronl:signatureRef on a user task and, when present, replaces that task's plain approval form with a ValidSign signing ceremony: the phase document is rendered from its deployed template, a signature package is created, and the Operaton task completes only once the signature lands.

The parity test had been failing since that commit. RipR21Process.bpmn exists in two places the test locks together byte for byte — examples/organizations/flevoland/rip-phase-21/ is the authored source, e2e-fixtures/flevoland/ the mirror — and the attribute had been added to the mirror only. Because the backend deploy workflow triggers on push and not on pull requests, no pull request runs these tests: the failure would have surfaced on acc after merge, where npm test gates the deploy step, leaving a red acceptance branch and no deployment. The xmlns:ronl namespace was already declared in both files and the byte delta was exactly the length of the attribute, so the repair adds one attribute rather than reflowing the document.


v2026.08.5 — The R2.2 VO bundle, and a parity test that locks each bundle's two copies together (August 2026)

Bundle contents and deployment: RIP R2.2 VO Bundle.

RipR22Process picks up where R2.1's "Fase 1 voltooid → R2.2" end event left off — four lanes and nine user tasks, from R2_2 - VO.pdf (rev. 21-11-2024). All five branches of the opening parallel split rejoin the join gateway. The source PDF does not draw it that way: it shows Inventariseren kabels en leidingen and Aanvragen raamvergunning leaving the pool into CO1 and JU3.5 and never returning, which as control flow deadlocks at the join. Those hand-offs are textAnnotations instead, because CO1 and JU3.5 do not exist as fixtures and a callActivity would dangle at deploy time and fail the manifest's calledElement test. They are referenced by several phases and belong in a shared bundle of their own.

Nine forms and five document templates complete the bundle. One form per user task, bound by camunda:formRef, with field types kept inside the eight the R2.1 bundle already uses, since nothing else is exercised against this Camunda 7.21 stack. One template per green "Format …" box in the specification — KES, Ontwerptoelichting, Objectenboom, Bevindingenformulier and Hoeveelheidsbepaling — because a Format in the diagram and a .document here are the same thing: a template with bindings. The blue outputs beside them in the spec are instances of these templates rather than artifacts of their own. Their zone keys are signOff and contactInformation from the start, unlike R2.1's templates, which shipped with signoff and contactInfo — keys DocumentZones never declares, leaving their signature blocks unrendered until v2026.08.4 repaired them.

The templates would have imported and attached to nothing. R2.1 wires each document template to the task that produces it with ronl:documentRef — the attribute DocumentTemplateSelector writes and BpmnCanvas reads to render the document badge on a task. The R2.2 specification never mentioned it, so the process shipped without it. The attribute is single-valued, so a task carries at most one template, and four of the five bind. rip-objectenboom stays unattached deliberately: Task_OpstellenConceptVO produces both the Ontwerptoelichting and the Objectenboom, and its one slot went to the Ontwerptoelichting. The Objectenboom still ships and imports normally — it simply carries no task badge, and its reference is maintained in Relatics instead.

Each bundle now exists twice on disk, and a test keeps the copies identical. Authored under examples/, imported and deployed from e2e-fixtures/ — with nothing stopping the two drifting, and they had: v2026.08.4 repaired the document zone keys in the e2e-fixtures copies only, and the examples copies kept the dead keys until they were re-pasted by hand. A new test asserts every file in a mirrored bundle is byte-identical to its twin; new bundles opt in by adding an entry to MIRRORED_BUNDLES.

rip-phase1-swimlanes is renamed to rip-phase-21. The -swimlanes suffix distinguished the bundle from a competing rip-phase1/ draft that has since been deleted, so it distinguished nothing, and the directory name no longer matched the process it holds. rip-phase-21/ holds RipR21Process and rip-phase-22/ holds RipR22Process, which makes the two obvious siblings. Contents are untouched, and exactly one reference to the old path existed — the source field of the RipR21Process entry in e2e-fixtures/manifest.json. Nothing resolves this directory at runtime: the application serves examples from packages/frontend/public/examples/, which has never held the RIP bundles.


v2026.08.4 — Signature blocks that had never rendered, and the DSO API surface documented (August 2026)

Two defects had shipped with every deployment of the three RIP document templates. The templates used signoff and contactInfo where DocumentZones declares signOff and contactInformation; DocumentCanvas iterates ZONE_ORDER and calls getZoneBlocks('signOff'), so the lowercase key meant the Signatures block was dropped silently — the three signature lines in these templates had never rendered at all. They also declared processKey: "RipPhase1Process" while the BPMN they deploy with declares RipR21Process, which is also the key the fixture manifest lists them under. The authored examples/ copies were brought back in line with the e2e-fixtures/ mirror ahead of the parity test that would later enforce it mechanically.

The DSO Viewer's full API surface was written down, mapping each viewer feature to the upstream API behind it — Stelselcatalogus v3 for concepts, RTR Gegevens v2 for activities, Zoekinterface v2 for werkzaamheden search, Opvragen Werkzaamheden v1 for werkzaamheid detail, and Toepasbare Regels Uitvoeren Gegevens v1 for rule metadata — together with the call path per feature, a complete endpoint map, pre- and production base URLs, and the transport conventions. That material is already reflected on DSO integration and API reference.

The Activity Detail panel's child fan-out was recorded as the viewer's heaviest interaction. The RTR returns onderliggendeActiviteiten as bare HAL hrefs with no omschrijving, so the panel fires one extra activity-detail request per child, in parallel, purely to resolve names: opening a single activity costs 1 + N upstream calls, and 24 for an activity with 23 children. There is no cache and no concurrency cap, which makes it the first candidate for memoisation.


v2026.08.3 — A test gate, and two defects it did not catch (August 2026)

Full inventory, commands and coverage: Testing.

Every deploy now runs the suites, and a failure blocks the deploy. None of the six Azure workflows previously ran a test step. That was a deliberate P7 decision taken when backend coverage was first measured at 13.82% statements — gating on a number that low would have been theatre — and it was recorded as conditional on backend breadth improving. v2026.08.2 took the backend from 16.79% to 98.06%, meeting the condition. The backend workflows already installed and linted, so a Jest step slots in beside the existing lint; the frontend workflows had no npm steps at all, because the Static Web Apps action builds inside its own container and runs none of this repository's scripts, and they gain an explicit install, lint and test sequence ahead of the deploy action. The two ropa-site workflows are deliberately untouched — that package is a static index.html with no build and no tests.

E2E fixture BPMNs were undeployable, and nothing caught it. BPMN 2.0's tProcess is an ordered sequence — laneSet*, flowElement*, artifact*, … — so once an artifact appears, no further flow element may follow. The commit that added the on-canvas "E2E FIXTURE" warning inserted its textAnnotation and association directly after the first flow element, leaving four of the five fixtures rejected by Operaton's XSD validation on deploy. TreeFellingPermitSubProcessE2E was the one file with the banner correctly at the end, and the only one that deployed. Each banner moved to just before </bpmn:process>; all five now validate against bpmn-moddle's BPMN20.xsd. The manifest integrity test checked file existence, process ids and calledElement references but never whether the BPMN would deploy — it now asserts the ordering rule directly.

The BPMN deploy dialog sent the wrong process key for every model. doc.querySelector('process') is a CSS type selector, which matches only the null namespace, so it never found the <bpmn:process> element that real bpmn-js output always emits. All four call sites fell through to their own fallbacks: deployments posted the literal string "process" instead of the model's id, and sub-process lookups by calledElement never matched. A findProcessElement helper now matches on local name across namespaces. The test covering this had asserted the fallback as correct, blaming a jsdom quirk — half right, since its fixture declared none of the prefixes it used, so DOMParser rejected the document outright and returned a <parsererror> in which nothing was findable, masking the real defect underneath.

The error overlay is reachable from the view that raises it. It lived inside App's right panel, which is hidden whenever viewMode is Orchestration — the only view from which Refresh Cache can be triggered. A failed cache clear set the error state correctly and had nowhere to render, staying silent until the user happened to navigate elsewhere, where a stale error then appeared out of context. The overlay is now a direct child of the workspace container and renders in every view.


v2026.08.2 — DMN deploy/evaluate proxies & ten dead validation rules (August 2026)

v2026.08.2 — Feature & Patch (August 18, 2026)

  • POST /v1/dmns/deploy deploys raw DMN XML ad hoc, without requiring a pre-registered LDE norm identifier — built for the CPSV Editor's DMN tab, which holds an uploaded or generated file with no registry entry of its own. A thin wrapper around the proven operatonService.deployDrd().
  • POST /v1/dmns/evaluate/:decisionKey proxies an evaluate call server-side. Both routes exist for the same reason: the CPSV Editor called Operaton directly from the browser, which CORS blocks for a local dev origin. The evaluate proxy forwards Operaton's response byte-for-byte and status-for-status — the raw success array or exception object, not the usual {success, data, error} envelope — because the DMN tab reads Operaton's own JSON. A new evaluateRaw() passes variables straight through, skipping the type inference evaluateDecision() does for its different caller contract, which would otherwise double-wrap an already Operaton-shaped body. See API Reference and the CPSV Editor's DMN Implementation.
  • Ten CPRMV validation rules were dead code and had been since the file was written. cprmvAttr()'s primary lookup called el.attr({ name, ns }), which in libxmljs2 0.37 is the setter overload, not a namespaced getter: it sets attributes literally named name and ns on the element and returns a value with no .value(), so the call threw. The function's own try/catch swallowed the throw and returned null, so the working attrs() fallback beneath it was never reached. EXEC-002EXEC-010 and CON-001CON-003 therefore never fired for any DMN, while the validator reported a clean result — and every inspected element was mutated with two junk attributes. Dropping the object-form fast path is the whole fix. See DMN Validation Reference.
  • CPRMV_NS was additionally hardcoded to the legacy cprmv.open-regels.nl/0.3.0/ namespace, so a DMN using the current standaarden.open-regels.nl/standards/cprmv/0.4.1# namespace short-circuited on an EXEC-001 "CPRMV not declared" before reaching any check. CPRMV_NAMESPACES now accepts both.
  • New EXEC-011/EXEC-012 validate cell-level dct:source / cprmv:isBasedOn format on grounded DMN cells — the cell-level grounding the CPSV Editor now emits — and EXEC-013 closes a pre-existing gap where cprmv:extends' format was never checked at all.
  • INT-007 false-positive fix: FEEL_RESERVED carried the singular year/month/day/… for the single-word built-ins but not the plural years/months, which are the leading words of the years and months duration(...) built-in's own name. Those words aren't preceded by a dot, so only the reserved-word check catches them. Reproduced live against HvA_full_dmn_export-patched.dmn: 12 warnings across 6 decisions, all false positives from this one construct.
  • BPMN shell/subprocess matching now keys on shellId, not bpmnProcessId alone. Once a shell is deliberately duplicated — an e2e-fixtures copy keeps the same bpmn:process id, since that is the real production Operaton key — the catalog rendered every subprocess under every shell sharing that id. shellId (the parent shell's own local record id) is now stored alongside calledElement, with a fallback to the old match for records saved earlier.
  • That fix did not survive a remount until the data actually reached the database: hydrateFromServer() treats the Postgres list as authoritative and replaces local state on every BpmnModeler mount. process_definitions.status had CHECK (status IN ('example','wip')) with no 'e2e', so saving an e2e process violated the constraint and failed silently (fetch() does not reject on non-2xx), and shell_id was not in the schema, upsert or list query at all. Adds shell_id (additive, idempotent) and widens the status CHECK.
  • New E2E status badge for imported e2e-fixtures forms and documents, detected at import from a self-describing marker in each fixture. A shared StatusBadge component replaces three near-identical inline badge blocks across ProcessList, FormList and DocumentList. The badge is orange — indigo read too close to EXAMPLE's blue.
  • Seed versions bumped for example_tree_felling, example_zorgtoeslag_provisional and example_zorgtoeslag_final so existing users' copies actually receive shellId; without the EXAMPLE_VERSIONS bump, seed() skipped re-saving them and both stores kept the shellId-less copy.
  • Backend statement coverage raised from 16.79% to 98.06% (branches 18.10% → 89.18%) by adding 31 test files and extending 3, with no production code changed. This is the campaign that found the cprmvAttr() defect above — documented first as a testing-scope decision, fixed two commits later. Line endings normalised to LF via .gitattributes, closing a loop where a Windows checkout produced CRLF files that format:check rejected and Git kept renormalising back. See Testing.

v2026.08.1 — Mandatory deploy organization & the e2e-fixtures bundle (August 2026)

v2026.08.1 — Feature (August 14, 2026)

  • Organization is now mandatory when deploying a BPMN process. The Deploy action will not submit without one, and sends it to Operaton as its native tenant-id (POST /deployment/create's tenant-id field) — closing the gap where a process could deploy with no tenant-id at all, invisible to any tenant-scoped lookup an application later makes against it.
  • Shared DMN decisions resolve as untenanted from tenant-scoped business-rule-tasks. Confirmed empirically against a live Operaton instance: a business-rule-task's camunda:decisionRef resolves against a decision definition under the exact same tenant-id as the calling process instance, with no fallback to a shared untenanted decision even when one exists. camunda:decisionRefTenantId can override this, but only as an EL expression evaluating to null (${null}) — a literal empty string is silently ignored. Applied to all 7 business-rule-tasks across the 4 fixture BPMNs that reference genuinely tenant-agnostic regulatory logic.
  • A new e2e-fixtures/<tenant>/ directory with a manifest.json and an integrity test becomes the single source of truth for the RONL Business API's E2E suite, replacing two pre-existing and already-diverged "examples" locations.
  • The e2e sub-processes were renamed (TreeFellingPermitSubProcessE2E, ZorgtoeslagProvisionalSubProcessE2E) so LDE's own catalog stops conflating the fixture copy with the seeded-example copy of the same sub-process — previously both shared a bpmn:process id, so importing the fixture could silently reuse the example's stale content.
  • Fixed a fixture that Operaton's BPMN parser rejected (ENGINE-09005): a textAnnotation/association pair immediately preceding the file's first businessRuleTask. Every other fixture has a scriptTask in that position, which validates fine, so this adjacency had never been parsed for real. Moving the annotation to the end of the process body is also the more conventional placement.
  • Fixed a copy-pasted processKey on the Zorgtoeslag provisional document template, and nested each sub-process fixture under its shell's subProcesses array rather than listing it as a flat sibling.

v2026.08.0 — Ede and Gelderland location presets (August 2026)

v2026.08.0 — Feature (August 6, 2026)

  • The DSO Viewer's Activities tab gains the municipality of Ede and the province of Gelderland alongside the existing Lelystad and Flevoland presets. One array drives both the location filter buttons and the authority-name lookup used when importing forms, so no other change was needed.
  • OINs were sourced from overheid.nl's Identificatiecodes records and cross-checked structurally — each OIN embeds the organisation's own RSIN, and both new values follow the same 00000001<RSIN>000 pattern as the existing entries.

v2026.07.1 — DMN validator: missing-id deploy failures and FEEL false positives (July 2026)

v2026.07.1 — Patch (July 23, 2026)

  • Adds BIZ-010 through BIZ-014, flagging <input>, <output>, <rule>, <inputEntry> and <outputEntry> elements missing the id attribute as errors. Operaton's DMN transformer requires id on these decision-table clause elements even though the DMN 1.3 XSD marks it optional, and rejects such files with DMN-02011 at deploy time — a class of failure this validator previously reported as fully valid.
  • Fixes two INT-007 false-positive sources. FEEL names may legally contain spaces, and a bare <inputExpression> that is itself one multi-word declared name was being shredded word-by-word by the identifier tokenizer, with every word flagged as an unresolved variable; a whole-string match against declared and produced names is now tried first, falling back to tokenization. Separately, FEEL_RESERVED was missing the single-word FEEL date/time component functions (year, month, day, hour, minute, second), so a year(...) call flagged year itself as unresolved.
  • Found while debugging an Amsterdam DMN's Operaton deploy failure in the CPSV Editor repository; together the fixes cut that file's Interaction Rules warnings from 83 to 12. The residual 12 — multi-word names embedded inside compound expressions, plus one likely real DRD-wiring gap in the source — are documented as open issues rather than fixed, since closing them properly needs a materially larger longest-match tokenizer change.

v2026.07.0 — Test suite (P0–P6.8), CalVer, and a coverage baseline (July 2026)

v2026.07.0 — Infrastructure (July 22, 2026)

  • A phased test suite lands across both packages, taking the repository from zero test filesnpm test exited 1 with "No tests found" — to full-stack coverage. Backend P0–P3 covered utilities, errors and middleware, the ropa/vendor/assets services, and the five smallest routes with supertest. Frontend P4–P6.8 bootstrapped Vitest and covered pure-logic utils, the 11-module service layer with msw, then every component directory in coupling-severity order: no third-party coupling first, then @dnd-kit, then one embedded editor library, then two, with the top-level integration components last. See Testing.
  • P7 measured real coverage and deliberately deferred CI wiring. At the time: 109 backend tests at 13.82% statements, against 557 frontend tests at 74.03%. No CI test step was added to the Azure workflows, blocking or non-blocking, because the backend gap was breadth — whole route and service files never touched — rather than depth. The condition for revisiting it is recorded: once backend breadth improves, or the team accepts breadth alone as a gate. (Backend breadth was subsequently closed in v2026.08.2; the CI step remains deferred.)
  • Two real pre-existing tooling gaps surfaced and were fixed, both latent only because the repository had no test files: tsconfig.eslint.json extended tsconfig.json without overriding its exclude of **/*.test.ts, so ESLint's type-aware parser could not see any test file; and .gitignore's blanket *.js rule, meant for compiled output, silently blocked jest.config.js from ever being tracked.
  • Release versions switch to CalVer (YYYY.MM.patch), matching the CPSV Editor. The sequence is product-wide rather than per-scope, so a backend-only and a frontend-only release still share the next number. Historical SemVer entries are left as they are.
  • Local development now points at the ronl-operaton container from the RONL Business API stack (localhost:8081) instead of the remote instance, and docker:check verifies it alongside ronl-postgres.

v1.9.13 — Per-commit changelog format (July 2026)

v1.9.13 — Enhancement (July 22, 2026)

  • The in-app Changelog renders "format": "commits" entries — an icon-and-colour header per commit, an sha/author trailer, a scope badge and an Upcoming/Released status badge — alongside the existing "sections" shape, adopting the same convention as the RONL Business API and the CPSV Editor. Legacy entries render exactly as before.
  • A repo-local release command is now tracked with the repository, tailored to this real npm-workspaces monorepo: frontend/backend scope, no endpoint-map reconciliation step (the route registry is already a self-maintaining single source of truth), and a note that packages/ropa-site has no package.json and is never version-bumped even though it deploys via its own path filter.

v1.9.12 — Query library resolves CPRMV 0.4.1 datasets (July 2026)

v1.9.12 — Patch (July 9, 2026)

  • Rules with Their Services, Count Rules per Service and Services with All Their Rules (Detailed) joined ?rule cpsv:implements ?service directly. Since the CPSV-AP RuleShape change, a cpsv:Rule's cpsv:implements points at an eli:LegalResource — the resource the service declares via cv:hasLegalResource — so datasets published in the newer shape returned no rules at all. The queries now UNION over both link paths.
  • NL-SBB Concepts and Services broke at the variable-to-DMN hop: a concept's dct:subject points at a bare DMN variable URI (<dmnUri>/input/N) that newer exports emit without a cpsv:isRequiredBy / cpsv:produces edge, so the concept could not reach its DMN or service. The query keeps the explicit edge for older data and, when absent, derives the DMN URI from the variable URI.
  • Auto-generated DMN decision rules (placeholder "Decision rule <id>" titles) are filtered out of rule listings, and SELECT DISTINCT de-duplicates. For the Flevoland Thuisbatterij dataset this surfaces its 3 business rules — previously hidden entirely — and 21 concepts, while dropping roughly 60 placeholder rows across the catalogue.

v1.9.11 — Board-owner deploy fix & Operaton error surfacing (July 2026)

v1.9.11 — Patch (July 2, 2026)

  • Fixed boardOwner injection breaking BPMN deploys whose <bpmn:process> carries a <bpmn:documentation> child. injectBoardOwner now skips past any leading <documentation> element(s) before inserting or locating extensionElements, preserving valid BPMN schema order (documentation must precede extensionElements).
  • Deploy failures now surface Operaton's real error: the deployment service captures and logs the response body (operatonResponse / operatonStatus) instead of only the generic Axios message, and getErrorDetails() now checks isAxiosError before the generic Error branch — previously dead code, since AxiosError extends Error always matched the generic branch first and silently discarded response.data.

v1.9.10 — /v1/norms CPRMV version selector (June 2026)

v1.9.10 — Feature (June 30, 2026)

  • A new ?cprmv_version= query parameter on /v1/norms selects which CPRMV vocabulary version to query and emit — one of 0.3.0, 0.3.2, or 0.4.1 (else 400 INVALID_PARAM), defaulting to 0.3.0. All three carry flat cprmv:Rule resources with identical predicates, so the rules query is one shape with the namespace swapped; 0.3.0/0.3.2 bind cprmv: to the cprmv.open-regels versioned-path IRI, 0.4.1 to the standaarden.open-regels 0.4.1# IRI.
  • Per-ruleset metadata (dataset_versions) differs by version: 0.3.x reads cprmv:Dataset (dct:issued + dcat:version); 0.4.1 has no cprmv:Dataset and reads cprmv:RuleSet (cprmv:validFrom, which doubles as the ETag / Last-Modified freshness signal since 0.4.1 has no dct:issued).
  • This is the LDE consumer side of the CPSV editor's CPRMV version selector. Full detail: Backend — /v1/norms and the API Stability Contract (0.3.2 / 0.4.1 are experimental, 0.3.0 is the stable default).

v1.9.9 — Deploy-time board ownership & RIP leadRole (June 2026)

v1.9.9 — Feature (June 22, 2026)

  • Process board ownership. The Deploy modal now requires a board owner: a new "Board ownership" section auto-detects the board from the process's candidate groups (infra/rip → Infra-board, caseworker/hr → Caseworker) and lets you override it. Deployed BPMN is stamped with a process-level camunda:property boardOwner (explicit choice or auto-derived). boardOwner is persisted on the process_definitions record (new board_owner column) and exposed via /bundles/public, so downstream consumers (ronl-business-api Procesbibliotheek and archive split) can read it.
  • RIP Phase 1 leadRole. The Map-role outputs script now sets a leadRole process variable, derived from the intake projectType (contractbeheer → manager-pb, otherwise projectleider). Distinct from the task candidateGroups: leadRole names who owns the project in the portfolio, not who can claim its tasks.

v1.9.8 — CPRMV SHACL: ParameterWaarde & TemporalRule shapes (June 2026)

v1.9.8 — Feature (June 17, 2026)

  • Added cprmv:ParameterWaardeShape targeting cprmv:ParameterWaarde: skos:notation [1,1] xsd:string and skos:prefLabel [1,n] rdf:langString are mandatory; schema:value [0,1] xsd:decimal, schema:unitCode [0,1] xsd:string, dct:description [0,1] rdf:langString, and cprmv:validFrom/validUntil [0,1] xsd:date are optional.
  • Added cprmv:TemporalRuleShape targeting cprmv:TemporalRule: cprmv:validFrom [0,1] xsd:date, cprmv:validUntil [0,1] xsd:date, cprmv:confidenceLevel [0,1] xsd:string, and cprmv:isBasedOn [0,n] sh:class cpsv:Rule — all optional.
  • Also adds the skos:, schema:, and dct: @prefix declarations the new shapes require; no changes to existing shapes. (The CPSV editor enforces the ParameterWaardeShape client-side as of its v1.10.4.)

v1.9.7 — SHACL display fixes (June 2026)

v1.9.7 — Patch (June 15, 2026)

  • SHACL Validator: long issue messages and focus-node locations were truncated with a single-line CSS ellipsis and could not be read. They now wrap in full (break-words / break-all) and expose the complete text on hover (title tooltip).
  • SHACL backend: removed the 60-character cap on the offending values reported for cardinality (maxCount / uniqueLang) violations, so the full value appears in the message.

Files: packages/frontend/src/components/ShaclValidator.tsx, packages/backend/src/services/shacl-validation.service.ts


v1.9.6 — CPRMV 0.4.1 DMN discovery + chain fixes (June 2026)

v1.9.6 — Patch (June 13, 2026)

  • DMNs published under the new CPRMV 0.4.1 namespace (e.g. vast_bedrag_op_vestiging) were missing from /v1/dmns and the ChainBuilder DMN picker — getAllDmns and the chain-link queries only matched cprmv:DecisionModel under the old 0.3.0 namespace. Both namespaces are now matched side by side until existing 0.3.0 data is migrated.
  • Fixed "Fill with test data" in the ChainBuilder input form not visibly filling Integer/Double fields when the RDF-sourced test value is 0 (the input rendered empty because 0 || '' === '').

v1.9.5 — DSO deploy-ready DMN + SHACL CPRMV layer (June 2026)

v1.9.5 — Minor (June 11, 2026)

  • DSO Integration: extracted DSO DMNs now carry camunda:historyTimeToLive, so they deploy to Operaton exactly as handed off — the consumer no longer has to patch the DMN first. LDE now produces a fully deploy-ready and evaluatable DMN (DMN 1.3, input ids, FEEL-safe variable names, output typeRefs, history TTL). Forms imported from DSO show a green DSO badge in the Form Editor list instead of the generic yellow WIP badge.
  • SHACL Validator: a third CPRMV 0.4.1 shape layer now validates uploaded Turtle alongside CPSV-AP 3.2.0 and RONL Custom; the results panel renders it automatically. Added valid/invalid test fixtures for every layer (CPRMV, CPSV-AP, RONL) plus a malformed-Turtle case.

v1.9.4 — DSO Phase 2d + DMN publish handoff (June 2026)

v1.9.4 — Minor (June 10, 2026)

  • Activities tab name search: fixing a location (Lelystad / Flevoland) loads that authority's full activity set in one call and reveals a search box that live-filters by name.
  • ↓ Import into LDE (Indieningsvereisten) saves the generated form-js scaffold straight into the Form Editor as a draft, named after the activity and tagged with the readable authority name (falling back to the RTR code).
  • Publish via CPSV Editor (Conclusie) opens the CPSV Editor with a deep-link to publish the extracted DMN to TriplyDB, where the LDE DMN picker can consume it — no local DMN store needed.
  • Extracted DMNs are normalized to deploy and evaluate on Operaton (DMN 1.2 → 1.3, missing input ids added, FEEL-safe variable names, explicit output typeRef). Verified end-to-end: the normalized HoutopstandVellen decision deploys (all 7 decisions) and the root decision evaluates without the previous FEEL error.

v1.9.3 — DSO Phase 2a + 4 (June 2026)

v1.9.3 — Minor (June 9, 2026)

  • Activity Detail panel now shows an Applicable Rules section listing toepasbare regels fetched live from the DSO Uitvoeren Gegevens API, grouped by rule type (Conclusie / Indieningsvereisten) with validity date and STTR version.
  • ↓ STTR downloads the raw STTR XML for any rule type; ↓ Extract DMN (Conclusie) extracts the embedded DMN decision table as a standalone .dmn; ↓ Form scaffold (Indieningsvereisten) generates a form-js JSON scaffold from the STTR questionnaire (boolean → checkbox, list → select, number → number field, attachment → labelled textfield).
  • Added ronl:dsoActiviteitUrn on TreeFellingPermitSubProcess linking it to nl.imow-gm0995.activiteit.HoutopstandVellen (Gemeente Lelystad).

Files: packages/backend/src/routes/dso.routes.ts (/toepasbare-regels, /toepasbare-regels/:id/sttr, /toepasbare-regels/:id/dmn, /toepasbare-regels/:id/form-scaffold), packages/backend/src/services/dso.service.ts, packages/frontend/src/components/DsoExplorer.tsx


v1.9.2 — BPMN shell/subprocess auto-linking (June 2026)

v1.9.2 — Patch (June 9, 2026)

  • Uploaded BPMN processes that form a shell/subprocess pair are now automatically linked: a process with call-activity elements is classified as a shell, and any process whose BPMN process ID is targeted by a shell's call-activity becomes its subprocess. The relationship is detected both on fresh imports and retroactively on startup, so previously uploaded standalone processes are reclassified without a re-upload.
  • Removed two unused TypeScript imports (DsoWerkzaamheid, zoekActiviteiten) in DsoExplorer.

v1.9.0–v1.9.1 — SHACL Validator (June 2026)

v1.9.0 — Minor (June 4, 2026) · v1.9.1 — Patch (June 5, 2026)

A new SHACL Validator view validates CPSV-AP Turtle against the canonical CPSV-AP 3.2.0 shapes and RONL-authored shapes before publishing to TriplyDB.

  • New backend endpoints POST /v1/shacl/validate (file-local) and POST /v1/shacl/validate-merged (unions the file with the already-published graph via a read-only SPARQL CONSTRUCT before validating).
  • Two result layers: CPSV-AP 3.2.0 (the SEMIC shapes vendored verbatim — 32 shapes) and RONL Custom (at most one foaf:homepage/dct:identifier/cv:spatial per organisation; one dct:title/dct:description per language on a rule).
  • v1.9.1 vendored the canonical CPSV-AP file and collapsed the earlier Core/Vocabularies split into a single CPSV-AP layer, added the Not loaded vs OK distinction, capped offending values at 60 characters, and added a conformant example plus deterministic merge-simulated test coverage.

v1.8.2 — DMN XML download (May 2026)

v1.8.2 — Patch (May 20, 2026)

  • New endpoint GET /v1/dmns/:identifier/xml streams the deployed DMN XML from Operaton as <identifier>.dmn with the correct Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers.
  • DMN list and detail responses now include an xmlUrl field pointing to the download endpoint, making it self-discoverable.
  • Backward compatible: the legacy GET /api/dmns/:definitionKey/xml route remains available.

Files: packages/backend/src/routes/dmn.routes.ts, packages/frontend/src/types (DmnModel)


v1.8.1 — DMN validator: INT-007 false positives eliminated (May 2026)

v1.8.1 — Patch (May 19, 2026)

The Interaction Rules layer no longer flags valid intra-DRD references, and now parses FEEL expressions instead of matching the whole <inputExpression> text.

requiredDecision targets resolved

An <inputExpression> may legitimately reference a value produced by another decision wired in via <informationRequirement><requiredDecision> — that name is the producing decision's <variable name> or <decisionTable> <output name>, never an <inputData>. INT-007 now resolves requiredDecision targets and treats their output variables as satisfied, mirroring the requiredInputinputData resolution INT-001 already performs.

FEEL expressions parsed, not whole-text matched

Previously the entire <inputExpression><text> was treated as one variable name, so date and time(aanvraagDatum) demanded an <inputData name="date and time(aanvraagDatum)"> and any operator expression false-fired. A new shared extractFeelIdentifiers() helper strips string literals, unwraps built-in calls (date(...), date and time(...), number(...), string(...), not(...), …), drops FEEL keywords/operators and qualified-name segments after a dot, and checks each referenced identifier individually.

Decision outputs excluded from the input-contract check

Output variable names (decision <variable> and decision-table <output name>) are, by construction, never external inputs and are no longer subject to the must-have-matching-inputData requirement. Genuine gaps still raise INT-007 — now naming the specific identifier rather than the raw expression string.

No API change

POST /v1/dmns/validate is unchanged; only the interaction-layer issue set for affected files differs (fewer false-positive warnings). Verified against real DMNs that deploy and evaluate on Operaton: RONL_Heusden_Heusdenpas.dmn, RONL_SVB_Leeftijden.dmn, EmployeeRoleAssignment.dmn, tree-felling-decision.dmn, and replacement-tree-decision.dmn all validate clean; backend tsc --noEmit passes.

v1.8.0 — Concurrent applicable periods per ruleset (May 2026)

v1.8.0 — Minor (May 15, 2026)

dataset_versions becomes a list per rulesetid

A single BWB ruleset can have multiple cprmv:Dataset records — different applicable periods of the same law (e.g. the 2025-01-01 and 2026-01-01 editions of the Participatiewet) are concurrent and equally authoritative, not competing versions. The v1.7.0 design treated them as competing and used FILTER NOT EXISTS to surface only the latest, hiding any earlier applicable period. v1.8.0 surfaces them all.

  • dataset_versions[<rulesetid>] is now a list of { version, published_at, title } records, not a single record. Replaces the v1.7.x object shape.
  • List is pre-sorted: version descending with nulls at the end, ties broken by published_at descending. Element [0] is the most-recent applicable version of that ruleset.
  • SPARQL query simplified: dropped the FILTER NOT EXISTS subpattern and now fetches all cprmv:Dataset records. Grouping and sort live in the service layer.
"dataset_versions": {
  "BWBR0015703": [
    {
      "version": "2026-01-01",
      "published_at": "2026-05-15T06:57:21Z",
      "title": "Participatiewet"
    },
    {
      "version": "2025-01-01",
      "published_at": "2026-05-15T07:45:36Z",
      "title": "Participatiewet"
    }
  ]
}

Cache headers preserved across the shape change

  • ETag now hashes every (version, published_at) pair in dataset_versions — a new applicable period being added to any ruleset changes the ETag
  • Last-Modified is max(published_at) across all records in the response (not just the first per ruleset)
  • Cache-Control semantics unchanged: full headers when every rulesetid has metadata; no-cache otherwise

Breaking change

Replaces v1.7.1 (which was never used by external G2G consumers — the API stability contract hadn't been promised yet at that release). The shape change from object to list is detected at integration time, not silent runtime breakage. Anyone consuming v1.7.0/v1.7.1 needs to wrap dataset_versions[<id>] access in array indexing or iteration.

Documentation

  • API stability contract updated with the list-shape, the multi-applicable-period rationale, and how consumers can match a rule's applicable_date to a specific Dataset record
  • Quick-reference table gains two new rows (multi-record explanation and rule→Dataset lookup recipe)

v1.7.0 — Per-rulesetid dataset versioning & HTTP cache headers (May 2026)

v1.7.0 — Minor (May 14, 2026)

Per-rulesetid dataset versioning on /v1/norms

Each BWB ruleset (BWBR0002471, BWBR0004044, …) is now published as a distinct cprmv:Dataset resource in TriplyDB, each on its own publication cadence. The response envelope carries a dataset_versions map keyed by cprmv:rulesetId so G2G consumers can see exactly which version of each ruleset they're reading.

"dataset_versions": {
  "BWBR0002471": { "version": "2025.1.0", "published_at": "2025-01-15T00:00:00Z" },
  "BWBR0015703": { "version": "2026.1.0", "published_at": "2026-01-15T00:00:00Z" }
}
  • New envelope field dataset_versions — only contains entries for rulesetids that have a cprmv:Dataset record; rulesetids without one are silently absent (transitional state during rollout)
  • New envelope field cprmv_version — backend constant extracted from the CPRMV namespace URI, describes which vocabulary the backend speaks independently of which data is published
  • Backend picks the latest cprmv:Dataset per rulesetid via a FILTER NOT EXISTS SPARQL subpattern — historical versions remain queryable in TriplyDB but consumers see only the latest
  • Versions follow CalVer per ruleset: <year>.<cycle>.<patch> (e.g. 2026.1.0 for the first publication of 2026, 2026.1.1 for a correction)
  • Internal 60-second cache on the dataset metadata SPARQL query keeps the metadata lookup off the hot path

HTTP cache headers for G2G consumers

When every rulesetid in the response has dataset metadata, the response carries strong cache headers:

ETag: "a3f99c1d"
Last-Modified: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT
Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600
  • ETag is an opaque 8-hex hash over the sorted dataset_versions map plus all filter parameters that affect the response shape
  • Last-Modified is max(published_at) across the response's datasets in RFC 7231 format — If-Modified-Since returns 304 only when nothing in the consumer's query has been republished
  • For single-rulesetid queries (?rulesetid=<id>), the 304 Not Modified short-circuit happens before the expensive rules SPARQL query — only the cheap cached metadata lookup runs
  • Safe-by-default partial-coverage policy: if any rulesetid in the response lacks dataset metadata, all three cache headers degrade to Cache-Control: no-cache so consumers can't be misled into serving stale data for an unversioned ruleset

API stability contract published

New IOU documentation page at /linked-data-explorer/reference/api-stability — the binding contract for G2G consumers covering:

  • The four versioning layers (API contract, dataset versions, CPRMV vocabulary, backend service)
  • The immutable primary-key promise: (rulesetid, applicable_date, rulesetid_index) is the eternal PK; consumers can cache permanently and never invalidate
  • The rule_id_path_key field as the logical identifier for querying "the current value of this rule" across its lifetime
  • Per-rulesetid publication detection mechanics and partial-coverage behaviour
  • Breaking-change criteria warranting /v2/norms and the 24-month deprecation policy

v1.6.3 — Stable keys and per-ruleset aggregation (May 2026)

v1.6.3 — Patch (May 14, 2026)

Stable keys and version indices on /v1/norms

  • New rule_id_path_key field: rule_id_path with the date and index segments removed, e.g. "BWBR0002471_2025-01-01_0, Artikel 2, lid 6""BWBR0002471, Artikel 2, lid 6"; stable across versions of the same ruleset, suitable as a deduplication key when aggregating norms across applicable_date values
  • New rulesetid_index field: the integer index segment after the date in rule_id_path (e.g. the _0 in BWBR..._2025-01-01_0); distinguishes multiple versions published on the same date
  • Both new fields, together with applicable_date, are derived from a single regex pass over rule_id_path; all three emit JSON null when the path does not match the canonical <rulesetid>_<YYYY-MM-DD>_<index>[, <rest>] shape
  • Key insertion order extended: rulesetid, applicable_date, rulesetid_index, rule_id_path, rule_id_path_key — identifier metadata grouped first, then the path and its derived stable key together

Per-rulesetid aggregation

  • Response envelope now carries an aggregations.norms_per_rulesetid map alongside rules, listing the count of top-level rules per cprmv:rulesetId in the filtered result set
  • Counts are keyed by the authoritative cprmv:rulesetId value (not parsed from the path), so non-conforming rule_id_path values still aggregate correctly
  • Sum of values equals data.total, letting clients render ruleset-level summaries without a second pass over rules
  • Additive change — existing readers of data.rules and data.total see no breaking change

v1.6.2 — Shared route registry & content-negotiated root page (May 2026)

v1.6.2 — Patch (May 13, 2026)

Single source of truth for v1 routes

  • New backend module packages/backend/src/routes/registry.ts: every v1 route's mount path, router, summary, and category lives in one array. Adding a route is a one-line entry that both registration and the root page pick up automatically.
  • Refactored packages/backend/src/routes/index.ts to iterate the registry for v1 mounting; legacy /api/* deprecation aliases stay hand-mounted (deprecated routes are intentionally excluded from the registry to steer consumers towards /v1/*)
  • Mount-order semantics preserved: more specific paths still precede their parents (/v1/chains/templates before /v1/chains) so Express route precedence behaves exactly as before

Content-negotiated root page

  • GET / now serves HTML when Accept includes text/html (browsers) and JSON otherwise (curl, fetch with default Accept, programmatic pollers); both views are derived from the shared route registry so they cannot drift
  • HTML view groups endpoints by category (Health & monitoring, Discovery, Execution, Assets, Integrations) and badges public-CORS endpoints; styling is inline with no external dependencies
  • JSON payload preserves backwards compatibility: same top-level keys as before (name, version, environment, status, documentation, health, endpoints, legacy); existing programmatic clients see no breaking change
  • Closes the drift gap that was missing /v1/dso, /v1/norms, /v1/assets/*, /v1/cache, /v1/edocs, /v1/ropa, /v1/process and /v1/chains/templates from the previous hand-coded listing

Deployment tier display label

  • New DEPLOYMENT_ENV environment variable distinguishes ACC from PROD when NODE_ENV is 'production' for both; falls back to NODE_ENV when unset so local development needs no change
  • Added config.displayEnv (string) and config.deploymentEnv (raw value) to packages/backend/src/utils/config.ts with mappings: prod/productionPROD, acc/acceptance/stagingACC, dev/development/localdevelopment, testtest, unknown values pass through
  • Used consistently by the HTML root page and the /v1/health response so the displayed environment stays in sync across surfaces
  • Configuration is per Azure App Service: az webapp config appsettings set ... --settings DEPLOYMENT_ENV=acc (or prod)

v1.6.1 — Norms publish endpoint (May 2026)

v1.6.1 — Patch (May 12, 2026)

/v1/norms — new

New backend route GET /v1/norms exposing all cprmv:Rule paths and norms from TriplyDB in the publish format consumed by the SPARQL editor's norm publisher. The response mirrors the cprmv-example.json shape exactly: fully-qualified RDF/CPRMV keys for type, id, definition, and contains; short keys for situatie, norm, per, rulesetid, applicable_date, and rule_id_path.

  • Parent rules and their cprmv:contains children are aggregated into a single nested object per parent; key insertion order is preserved across runs (matching the example file)
  • Optional ?endpoint= query parameter overrides the default TriplyDB endpoint, matching the pattern already used by /v1/dmns
  • Response wrapped in the standard ApiResponse envelope with data.rules (array) and data.total (filtered count)

Filtering by ruleset identifier and applicable date

  • New applicable_date attribute derived from the _YYYY-MM-DD_ segment embedded in rule_id_path (e.g. "BWBR0015703_2026-01-01_0, Artikel 20, ..." yields "2026-01-01"); null when the path carries no parseable date
  • Optional ?rulesetid= filter (exact-match on cprmv:rulesetId, e.g. BWBR0015703); validated against /^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$/
  • Optional ?applicable_date= filter (matches paths containing _<date>_); validated against /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/
  • Filters can be combined; invalid values return 400 INVALID_PARAM before any SPARQL fires
  • Validated filter values are applied as SPARQL FILTER clauses server-side (exact-match on ?rulesetId, CONTAINS on ?ruleIdPath); regex validation is the injection-prevention contract

Maintenance

  • tsconfig.json cleanup: removed "ignoreDeprecations": "6.0" which only became valid in TypeScript 6.0 and broke CI on TypeScript 5.x. Editor-side deprecation warnings are addressed via local .vscode/settings.json pointing at the workspace TypeScript instead. Full migration to moduleResolution: "nodenext" deferred until ESM-on-Node maturity warrants the per-file .js extension changes.

v1.6.0 — Multilingualism & pending-until-Save editing (April 2026)

v1.6.0 — New Feature (April 27, 2026)

Multilingualism — language and organization metadata

BPMN processes, Camunda forms, and document templates now carry an optional ISO 639-1 language code (en, nl, de) and an open-ended organization key. The model is sibling-artefact i18n: each artefact exists once per language, with the LDE deploy modal warning on mixed-language bundles. DMNs stay language-agnostic — variable keys remain stable English so a single DMN serves both English and Dutch sibling BPMNs.

  • Databaselanguage VARCHAR(2) and organization VARCHAR(100) columns added to process_definitions, form_schemas, and document_templates with partial indexes; nullable, existing rows coexist as NULL
  • BPMN moddle descriptorLanguageMixin and OrganizationMixin extending bpmn:Process in ronlModdleDescriptor.json; survive saveXML round-trip via the existing ronl namespace registration
  • List panels — new ArtefactListToolbar (search + language filter + match counter) shared by Process, Form, and Document lists; collapsible organization groups; subprocesses follow their shell's organization regardless of their own tag
  • Editor footer panel — uniform pattern across all three editors: LanguageSelector and OrganizationSelector (with autocomplete from existing organization keys); BPMN footer additionally retains RoPA and DSO selectors
  • Filename-based language inference on import.bpmn, .form, .document files with a <id>.<lang>.<ext> suffix are auto-tagged on import; precedence: in-file value → filename → untagged
  • Form exportExport .form now wraps the form-js schema with top-level language and organization keys and uses a language-suffixed filename; round-trip integrity for all three artefact types
  • Deploy-time language consistency check — amber warning surfaces inline in the deploy modal when a bundle mixes languages, listing the offending codes; mirrors the existing RoPA-missing warning UX

Footer edits across BPMN, Form, and Document editors no longer persist immediately. They accumulate in a draft state on the editor parent and flush atomically when Save is clicked. Navigation guards confirm before discarding unsaved changes.

  • Editor architecture — footer state lifted to the editor parent (BpmnModeler, FormEditor, DocumentComposer); children receive effective values via props and report changes via callbacks; Save is the single point of persistence
  • Shell → subprocess atomic save — saving a BPMN shell propagates language and organization to all linked subprocesses in one write; idempotent (skips subprocesses already aligned); shell wins unconditionally; example subprocesses (readonly: true) are skipped
  • Save button dirty tracking fixed — Form Save button was always-enabled (regression); now starts disabled, enables on first edit, disables after Save
  • Document load windowDocumentComposer no longer flips hasChanges spuriously on document load; TipTap's mount-time onUpdate events are suppressed for the macrotask following load via isLoadingRef

HR-capacity Dutch reference bundle

The first multi-language reference bundle: 1 BPMN, 8 forms, 2 documents under examples/organizations/flevoland/HR-capacity/nl/, all tagged language=nl, organization=flevoland. Same CapacityClaimRouting DMN serves both the English and Dutch siblings.

Bug fixes

  • BPMN persistence: language and organization now included in the BpmnService.saveProcess POST payload (previously dropped silently, causing values to vanish on hydration)
  • OrganizationSelector is now controlled (value/onChange) rather than uncontrolled (defaultValue/onBlur); switching artefacts refreshes the input correctly
  • BpmnCanvas no longer resets on parent re-renders — handleElementSelect stabilised via a ref, modeler-init effect deps narrowed to xml

Known limitation

The form-js properties panel loses input focus when typing pauses (Field label, Description, Key). Upstream form-js issue #86, marked wontfix by bpmn-io. Not LDE-caused, not fixable from React without forking form-js. Workaround: edit .form JSON in a code editor and re-import — filename-based language inference handles the language tag automatically.


v1.5.3 — DSO Works tab & OIN preset fix (April 2026)

v1.5.3 — Patch (April 2026)

Works tab — new

New Works tab in the DSO Explorer (between Concepts and Activities) backed by the Zoekinterface API.

  • Search werkzaamheden by user intent (e.g. "boom kappen") with autocomplete suggestions after 2 characters; selecting a suggestion immediately fires the search
  • Each result shows the human-readable omschrijving, the functioneleStructuurRef (full concept URI — the Phase 4 pivot to STTR files), and the short werkzaamheid URN
  • Selecting a result opens a detail panel showing the current version's omschrijving, validity period, and full version history with start/end dates and a "current" badge
  • Autocomplete uses POST /werkzaamheden/_suggereer with 300ms debounce
  • Reloads on DSO environment switch with the same clean-slate behaviour as the other tabs

Activities tab — OIN preset fix

The Lelystad and Flevoland presets now use POST /activiteiten/_zoek with bestuursorgaan.oin filter instead of _wijzigingen — returning activities valid on a given date rather than a delta sync of changed activities.

  • Activities now appear in the list with their full omschrijving visible immediately, without requiring parallel detail fetches
  • Date field defaults to today for OIN presets (yesterday offset removed — no longer needed with _zoek)
  • Pagination works correctly in OIN mode — Load button reloads the authority list for the selected date
  • Empty state distinguishes between no activities found in general vs no activities found for the selected authority on the selected date

Bug fixes

  • Activity Detail panel always using pre-production DSO when opened from the Activities list — env was missing from the getActiviteitDetail call, causing 404 for production-only activities
  • Activity Detail panel not re-fetching when DSO environment is switched while a URN is already selected — env added to the useEffect dependency array
  • Activity Detail panel showing stale date context in OIN preset mode — activeDatum now set correctly by loadByOin alongside the result

Backend — DSO service

  • zoekinterfaceBaseUrl and opvragenWerkzaamhedenBaseUrl added to both dso and dsoProd config blocks — defaults baked in, no new env vars required
  • POST /v1/dso/werkzaamheden/zoek — proxies Zoekinterface /werkzaamheden/_zoek
  • POST /v1/dso/werkzaamheden/suggereer — proxies Zoekinterface /werkzaamheden/_suggereer
  • GET /v1/dso/werkzaamheden/:urn — proxies Opvragen Werkzaamheden /werkzaamheden/{urn} (version history, without expand — _expandScope enum value not yet resolved)
  • POST /v1/dso/activiteiten/oin now uses /activiteiten/_zoek with bestuursorgaan.oin body field and datum instead of _wijzigingen with datumVanaf

v1.5.2 — DSO Explorer enhancements (April 2026)

v1.5.2 — Patch (April 2026)

  • DSO environment selector added to the Settings panel (gear icon): switch between pre-production and production DSO independently of the LDE environment, persisted across sessions in localStorage
  • Environment badge in the DSO Explorer header updates to reflect the active DSO environment (amber for pre-production, green for production)
  • Both DSO environments use separate API keys configured via DSO_API_KEY and DSO_API_KEY_PROD environment variables
  • Location presets (Lelystad, Flevoland) initially filter by authority OIN — replaced with _zoek in v1.5.3
  • Child activities in the detail panel now show human-readable names fetched in parallel after the parent detail loads
  • Graceful 404 handling in the detail panel: activities not available in the active DSO environment show a clear message instead of a raw error

v1.5.1 — Dev infrastructure (April 2026)

v1.5.1 — Infrastructure (April 2026)

Docker readiness check

New packages/backend/scripts/check-docker.sh verifies the ronl-postgres container is up and healthy before nodemon starts the backend.

  • Coloured terminal output: green for ready, yellow for unhealthy, red for missing or stopped
  • Suggests the exact docker start or docker run command if the container is missing
  • Backend dev script now runs the check first; dev:full and dev:backend scripts added to root package.json for one-command monorepo startup

Files: packages/backend/scripts/check-docker.sh, packages/backend/package.json, package.json


v1.5.0 — DSO Integration Phase 1 (March 2026)

v1.5.0 — New Feature (March 2026)

DSO Explorer

New top-level view for browsing the Digitaal Stelsel Omgevingswet from inside LDE.

  • Concepts tab — full-text search across the Stelselcatalogus
  • Activities tab — RTR activiteiten list with date filtering and a detail panel showing bestuursorgaan, validity, parent and child activities, and which rule types (Conclusie, Indieningsvereisten, Maatregelen) are present

BPMN — DSO activiteit linkage

  • New ronl:dsoActiviteitUrn mixin on bpmn:Process in ronlModdleDescriptor.json
  • New DsoActiviteitSelector component pinned to the BPMN Modeler footer (sibling of RopaSelector)
  • Live URN verification against DSO RTR; on success shows the omschrijving, authority block, and a direct link to the public RTR viewer
  • URN survives saveXML round-trips and shows up in process exports

Backend — DSO service

  • New src/services/dso.service.ts covering Stelselcatalogus and RTR endpoints
  • New src/routes/dso.routes.ts at /v1/dso/...
  • Pre-production and production base URLs configurable via env; API keys per environment
  • Path-aware DSO environment selection via X-Dso-Env header

Files: packages/frontend/src/components/BpmnModeler/DsoActiviteitSelector.tsx, packages/frontend/src/services/dsoService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/dso.service.ts, packages/backend/src/routes/dso.routes.ts


v1.4.0 — RoPA Records & GDPR Article 30 Compliance (March 2026)

v1.4.0 — New Feature (March 28, 2026)

RoPA Records — PostgreSQL

Two new tables appended to the migrate.ts DDL block. Migrations run automatically at backend startup — no manual schema step required.

  • ropa_records — one row per process (shell or subprocess); keyed on bpmn_process_id with a unique index so re-running the seed updates rows in place rather than inserting duplicates; status column (draft / active / archived) controls public visibility
  • ropa_personal_data_fields — one row per personal data field collected by the linked forms; ON DELETE CASCADE from ropa_records; special_category boolean flags Art. 9/10 GDPR fields
  • New src/types/ropa.types.tsRopaRecord, RopaPersonalDataField, PublicRopaRecord
  • New src/services/ropa.service.tslistRopa, getRopaById, getRopaByBpmnProcessId, upsertRopa (transactional: record header + field rows in one BEGIN/COMMIT), deleteRopa, listPublicRopa
  • New src/db/seed-ropa.ts — idempotent seed for four active records covering AwbShellProcess, TreeFellingPermitSubProcess, AwbZorgtoeslagProcess, and ZorgtoeslagProvisionalSubProcess

Files: src/db/migrate.ts, src/types/ropa.types.ts, src/services/ropa.service.ts, src/db/seed-ropa.ts

RoPA Records — API routes

  • New src/routes/ropa.routes.ts — authenticated asset routes at /v1/assets/ropa: GET (list), POST (upsert, returns { id }), DELETE /:id, GET /by-bpmn-id/:bpmnProcessId
  • New src/routes/ropa.public.routes.ts — CORS-open public route at /v1/ropa/public; ?organisation= query parameter filters by controller_name ILIKE '%…%'; strips controllerContact, dpoContact, and schemaVersion before returning; only status = 'active' records returned
  • Global CORS middleware in src/index.ts patched with path-aware logic: /v1/ropa/public bypasses the origin whitelist entirely (origin: '*'); all other routes remain subject to CORS_ORIGIN env var

Files: src/routes/ropa.routes.ts, src/routes/ropa.public.routes.ts, src/routes/index.ts, src/index.ts

RoPA Editor — LDE UI

New RoPA Records view in the LDE sidebar (ScrollText icon). ViewMode.ROPA added to the enum in types/index.ts.

  • RopaEditor.tsx — root orchestrator; list state, load/save/delete; passes record={null} for new records, key={activeId} on RopaRecordEditor for clean remount on selection change
  • RopaList.tsx — left panel; shell records first, subprocess records second; DRAFT / ACTIVE / ARCHIVED badges; delete control per record
  • RopaRecordEditor.tsx — four-tab editor:
  • Record — all GDPR Art. 30 mandatory fields; Lookup from knowledge graph button fires a SPARQL query against the TriplyDB RONL endpoint via POST /v1/triplydb/query and returns a pick-list of eli:LegalResource entries
  • Personal Data FieldsHydrate from forms reads camunda:formRef values from the process XML, loads matching form schemas from FormService, and appends one row per component with a key property; each row is classified with a data category and Art. 9/10 flag
  • BPMN Link — reads ronl:ropaRef from the matching process XML via BpmnService; Write ronl:ropaRef to BPMN injects the attribute and persists via BpmnService.saveProcess; status indicator: not linked / linked (green) / points to different record (amber)
  • Status — three lifecycle buttons with confirmation dialog before activation
  • New src/services/ropaService.ts — fetch-based API client for all five backend operations
  • New src/types/ropa.types.ts (frontend mirror)

Files: src/components/RopaEditor/RopaEditor.tsx, RopaList.tsx, RopaRecordEditor.tsx, src/services/ropaService.ts, src/types/ropa.types.ts, src/types/index.ts, src/App.tsx

RoPA Selector — BPMN Modeler

  • New src/components/BpmnModeler/RopaSelector.tsx — renders as a fixed footer panel pinned below the scrollable process list in ProcessList.tsx; only shown when activeProcess is non-null; reads the current ronl:ropaRef from the process XML by regex; writes via handleRopaRefChange in BpmnModeler.tsx
  • ProcessList.tsx — two new props: activeProcess: BpmnProcess | null and onRopaRefChange: (ropaRef: string | undefined) => void; RopaSelector rendered outside the overflow-y-auto scroll container so it stays pinned regardless of list length
  • BpmnModeler.tsx — new handleRopaRefChange: ensures xmlns:ronl declaration on <definitions>, then sets, updates, or removes ronl:ropaRef on the <bpmn:process> opening tag; persists via BpmnService.saveProcess
  • ronlModdleDescriptor.json — second type entry added: RopaRefMixin extends bpmn:Process with ropaRef as an isAttr: true String property; without this registration the attribute is silently dropped by bpmn-js on saveXML()
  • Deploy modal — ropaRefMissing flag set when ronl:ropaRef is absent from the process XML; amber non-blocking warning rendered between the resource list and the resource count line

Files: src/components/BpmnModeler/RopaSelector.tsx, ProcessList.tsx, BpmnModeler.tsx, BpmnCanvas.tsx, ronlModdleDescriptor.json

RoPA Public Site — MVP

New package packages/ropa-site/ — a zero-dependency static HTML/CSS/JS site with no build step.

  • index.html — fetches GET /v1/ropa/public, renders collapsible cards per record with full GDPR Art. 30 field display, personal data fields table with colour-coded data categories and Art. 9/10 red badges, Provincie Flevoland dark green house style; shells rendered before subprocesses
  • staticwebapp.config.json — Azure Static Web Apps navigation fallback and no-cache headers
  • Deployed as a separate Azure Static Web Apps resource (ropa-flevoland-acc) independent of the LDE frontend; GitHub Actions workflow scoped to packages/ropa-site/** path filter

Files: packages/ropa-site/index.html, packages/ropa-site/staticwebapp.config.json, packages/ropa-site/README.md, .github/workflows/azure-static-web-apps-ropa-flevoland-acc.yml


v1.3.0 — PostgreSQL Asset Storage & AWB Process Hierarchy (March 2026)

v1.3.0 — Infrastructure (March 25, 2026)

PostgreSQL asset storage

BPMN processes, form schemas, and document templates now persist to PostgreSQL via the LDE backend rather than living exclusively in browser localStorage.

  • New src/db/pool.tspg.Pool initialised from DATABASE_URL; null-guarded so the backend starts without a database configured
  • New src/db/migrate.ts — idempotent DDL (CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS) for process_definitions, form_schemas, and document_templates; called from startServer() before app.listen()
  • New src/services/assets.service.tslistBpmn, upsertBpmn, deleteBpmn, getBpmnByBpmnProcessId, listForms, upsertForm, deleteForm, listDocuments, upsertDocument, deleteDocument
  • New src/routes/assets.routes.tsGET/POST/DELETE for each asset type; GET /v1/assets/bpmn/by-bpmn-id/:bpmnProcessId for subprocess bundle resolution; all routes return 503 DB_NOT_CONFIGURED when pool is null
  • Registered at /v1/assets in src/routes/index.ts
  • packages/backend/package.jsonpg: ^8 added to dependencies, @types/pg: ^8 to devDependencies

Write-through cache strategy: saves update localStorage immediately and fire a background POST to the backend. Reads remain synchronous from localStorage — zero-latency UI at all times.

Hydration on mount: each editor runs hydrateFromServer() on mount — GET /v1/assets/{type} merges server records with local read-only examples and updates the localStorage cache. Falls back to local cache silently if the backend is unreachable.

Files: src/db/pool.ts, src/db/migrate.ts, src/services/assets.service.ts, src/routes/assets.routes.ts, src/routes/index.ts, src/index.ts, packages/backend/package.json, src/services/bpmnService.ts, src/services/formService.ts, src/services/documentService.ts

AWB shell / subprocess hierarchy

The BpmnProcess type and process library now model the two-layer AWB shell pattern explicitly.

  • BpmnProcess interface extended with bpmnProcessId?: string, processRole?: 'shell' | 'subprocess' | 'standalone', and calledElement?: string
  • bpmnProcessId is extracted from <process id="..."> in the XML automatically on save and import via extractBpmnProcessId()
  • All five seeded example processes carry explicit role and relationship metadata
  • ProcessList.tsx renders a hierarchical grouped view: shell entries are top-level, their subprocesses are indented with a tree connector; standalone and unclassified processes appear as top-level entries
  • SHELL (violet) and SUB (teal) role badges added to process cards
  • process_definitions table stores process_role, called_element, and bpmn_process_id as indexed columns

Files: src/types/index.ts, src/components/BpmnModeler/BpmnModeler.tsx, src/components/BpmnModeler/ProcessList.tsx

Schema versioning

schema_version INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 column added to all three PostgreSQL tables, enabling server-side re-seeding of example assets across all users and devices when source files change.

Zorgtoeslag example processes

Three new versioned example processes added: AwbZorgtoeslagProcess (shell), ZorgtoeslagProvisionalSubProcess, and ZorgtoeslagFinalSubProcess (both subprocesses). Four new example forms: zorgtoeslag-provisional-start, zorgtoeslag-provisional-review, zorgtoeslag-final-review, zorgtoeslag-notify-applicant.

Files: src/utils/exampleVersions.ts, public/examples/toeslagen/

Azure deployment — troubleshooting notes

During ACC deployment the following issues were encountered and resolved:

  • permission denied for schema public — Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server (PostgreSQL 15+) revokes CREATE on the public schema from non-superusers by default. Fixed by running GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO lde_user plus ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT ALL ON TABLES TO lde_user as admin.
  • CI/CD health check failing (503) — caused by the above permission error crashing migrate() before app.listen() was reached. The App Service showed "Application Error" page with no log output via az webapp log tail; logs were only retrievable via az webapp log download.

See PostgreSQL Deployment for the full provisioning guide including these fixes.


v1.2.0 — RIP Phase 1 Bundle & eDOCS Integration (March 2026)

v1.2.0 — New Feature (March 14, 2026)

RIP Phase 1 Bundle

New deployment bundle for the Regular Infrastructure Projects (RIP) Phase 1 workflow — Provincie Flevoland.

  • 20-step BPMN process (RipPhase1Process.bpmn) covering project definition and preliminary design preparation: intake form, intake meeting, intake report, PSU organisation, PSU execution, PSU report, risk file preparation, preliminary design principles, and two approval gateways with rejection loops
  • RipProjectTypeAssignment.dmn — assigns candidateGroups and assignedRoles from projectType and department; all rules resolve to infra-projectteam / infra-medewerker; designed for granular RBAC extension without BPMN changes
  • 7 forms: rip-intake, rip-intake-meeting, rip-intake-report, rip-psu-organize, rip-psu-execution, rip-risk-file, rip-approval (reusable at both approval gateways)
  • 3 document templates: rip-intake-report.document (column 2), rip-psu-report.document (column 3), rip-pdp.document (column 4)
  • Bundle deployed to examples/organizations/flevoland/rip-phase1/

Files: examples/organizations/flevoland/rip-phase1/

eDOCS Integration

New backend service and external task worker for OpenText eDOCS document management.

  • EdocsService wraps the eDOCS REST API: connect (session token caching with auto re-authentication on 401/403), ensureWorkspace, uploadDocument, getWorkspaceDocuments, healthCheck
  • ExternalTaskWorker polls Operaton via fetchAndLock (long-polling, 20s timeout) for two topics: rip-edocs-workspace (create/retrieve project workspace, write edocsWorkspaceId) and rip-edocs-document (render and upload document, write named output variable)
  • Stub mode (EDOCS_STUB_MODE=true, default) — all methods return realistic fake responses; full process runs end-to-end without a live eDOCS server; no code changes needed when switching to live
  • Worker started in app.listen() callback; stopped cleanly on SIGTERM/SIGINT
  • 4 new REST endpoints: GET /v1/edocs/status, POST /v1/edocs/workspaces/ensure, POST /v1/edocs/documents, GET /v1/edocs/workspaces/:id/documents
  • New environment variables: EDOCS_BASE_URL, EDOCS_LIBRARY, EDOCS_USER_ID, EDOCS_PASSWORD, EDOCS_STUB_MODE

Files: packages/backend/src/services/edocs.service.ts, packages/backend/src/services/externalTaskWorker.service.ts, packages/backend/src/routes/edocs.routes.ts

DMN Validator — Interaction Rules

  • INT-005 scoped to DRDs only — no longer fires on standalone single-decision DMNs; <inputData> elements on standalone models serve as input contract declarations for CPSV publishing and do not require <informationRequirement> wiring
  • INT-007 (new) — warns when an <inputExpression> references a variable name with no matching top-level <inputData> declaration; without this, the CPSV Editor generates an empty request body on deploy

File: packages/backend/src/services/dmn-validation.service.ts

v1.1.2 — Bug Fix (March 11, 2026)

Form Editor

  • Save now correctly persists the current schema. saveSchema() in form-js 1.20.x returns the schema object directly — not wrapped in { schema }. Destructuring assumption caused undefined to be written to localStorage, making the active form disappear on the next render.
  • Export .form fixed for the same reason.
  • Vite dedupe config added for preact / preact/hooks / preact/compat to prevent duplicate Preact instances after npm version round-trips involving @bpmn-io/* packages; fixes TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'context') on the form canvas.

Known issue: Typing in a properties panel field (label, key, etc.) loses focus after the first character. Upstream form-js 1.20.x issue — Preact re-renders the properties panel internally on every change event. Will be resolved when an upstream fix is available.

File: packages/frontend/vite.config.ts, packages/frontend/src/components/FormEditor/FormCanvas.tsx

v1.1.1 — Enhancement (March 10, 2026)

Import from file

  • BPMN Modeler — import .bpmn files via the Upload button in the process list header; process name derived from the name attribute on the <process> element, falling back to filename
  • Form Editor — import .form files; name derived from the schema id field, falling back to filename
  • Document Composer — import .document files; receives a fresh id and timestamps on import to avoid collisions with existing templates
  • All imported items open immediately in their respective editor and are persisted to localStorage

Files: BpmnModeler/BpmnModeler.tsx, FormEditor/FormEditor.tsx, DocumentComposer/DocumentComposer.tsx


v1.1.0 — Document Composer (March 2026)

v1.1.0 — New Feature (March 8, 2026)

Document Composer

New Document Composer view for authoring formal government decision document templates (beschikkingen).

  • Three-panel layout matching BPMN Modeler and Chain Builder conventions: document list (left), zone canvas (centre), Bindings panel (right)
  • Fixed-zone document structure: Letterhead, Contact Information, Reference, Body, Closing, Sign-off, and optional Annex
  • Five draggable block types: rich text (TipTap with bold, italic, headings, lists), variable placeholder, image (from TriplyDB), separator, horizontal rule, and spacer
  • Blocks dragged from the Content library onto zones; reordering within and across zones by drag
  • Image library tab fetches assets from the active TriplyDB dataset
  • Documents stored in localStorage under linkedDataExplorer_documentTemplates; create, rename, delete, and Save as… actions
  • Export document template as a .document JSON file
  • Read-only example document pre-loaded: Kapvergunning Beschikking (linked to AwbShellProcess)

Files: DocumentComposer.tsx, DocumentCanvas.tsx, DocumentList.tsx, ZonePanel.tsx, TextBlockEditor.tsx, ImageBlock.tsx, VariableBlock.tsx, BindingPanel.tsx, document.types.ts, documentService.ts

Variable Bindings

  • Bindings panel maps {{placeholder}} tokens in rich-text blocks to Operaton process variable keys
  • Discover Variables button queries GET /v1/process/:key/variable-hints for all variables used by completed instances of a given process definition key
  • Discovered variables shown as clickable chips labelled with type (String, Boolean, Double, etc.)
  • Each binding records placeholder, variable key, source (process or dmn_output), and optional label

File: BindingPanel.tsx

BPMN Modeler integration

  • Link decision template dropdown injected into the bpmn-js properties panel for UserTask elements (not StartEvent)
  • Selecting a template writes camunda:documentRef to the BPMN XML
  • Purple badge (📄) rendered on the canvas below the element, below the existing green form badge
  • Badge positioned at bottom: -36 (vs. bottom: -22 for the form badge) so both badges are visible simultaneously
  • DocumentTemplateSelector.tsx follows the identical injection pattern as FormTemplateSelector.tsx

Files: BpmnModeler/DocumentTemplateSelector.tsx, BpmnCanvas.tsx


v1.0.1 — Bug Fix & Internal (March 2026)

v1.0.1 — Bug Fix (March 7, 2026)

Bug fix

Fixed Task_Phase6_Notify and Task_RequestMissingInfo appearing pre-claimed in the caseworker dashboard. camunda:assignee="demo" removed; camunda:candidateGroups="caseworker" added to both tasks so they are correctly visible in the task queue.

Internal — example file migration and version registry

  • Example .bpmn and .form files moved to public/examples/flevoland/ as the single source of truth. Inline schemas removed from bpmnTemplates.ts and FormEditor.tsx.
  • Added exampleVersions.ts with EXAMPLE_VERSIONS record (keyed by example name, value is an integer version). The app compares stored versions in localStorage key linkedDataExplorer_exampleVersions against EXAMPLE_VERSIONS and re-fetches any example whose version has been incremented.
  • Developer workflow: edit the file in public/examples/, mirror the change to examples/organizations/, increment the version in exampleVersions.ts, commit. Existing users receive the updated example without clearing localStorage.

Files: exampleVersions.ts, bpmnTemplates.ts, FormEditor.tsx, public/examples/flevoland/


v1.0.0 — Form Editor & One-Click Deploy (March 2026)

v1.0.0 — Major Release

Form Editor

New Form Editor view powered by @bpmn-io/form-js (schemaVersion 16, MIT licensed). Forms are authored as JSON schema, stored in localStorage, and available immediately to the BPMN Modeler.

  • Two-panel layout: form list (left) and @bpmn-io/form-js editor canvas (right)
  • Create, rename, and delete WIP forms; three seed EXAMPLE forms are read-only
  • Three built-in examples: kapvergunning-start (citizen-facing), tree-felling-review (caseworker review), awb-notify-applicant (caseworker notification)
  • Export individual forms as .form JSON files compatible with Camunda Modeler and Operaton
  • FormService localStorage CRUD shared with the BPMN Modeler — no sync step required

Files: FormEditor.tsx, FormCanvas.tsx, FormList.tsx, formService.ts

BPMN Modeler — Form integration

  • Link to Form dropdown in the properties panel for UserTask and StartEvent elements
  • Writes camunda:formRef and camunda:formRefBinding="latest" to the BPMN XML
  • camunda:formRefBinding="latest" means Operaton always resolves the most recent deployment of that form ID — no version pinning needed
  • Green badge overlay on UserTask and StartEvent elements when a form is linked
  • DmnTemplateSelector pre-selection bug fixed — dropdown now correctly reflects an existing camunda:decisionRef when opening properties for an already-linked element

Files: BpmnCanvas.tsx, FormTemplateSelector.tsx

BPMN Modeler — One-click deploy

  • Deploy button opens a modal listing all resources to be bundled: main BPMN, subprocess BPMNs (resolved via calledElement attributes), and all .form files referenced by camunda:formRef
  • All resources deployed in a single multipart POST /api/dmns/process/deploy to Operaton — camunda:formRef resolves at runtime because BPMN and forms share the same deployment ID
  • Configurable Operaton endpoint field pre-filled from VITE_OPERATON_BASE_URL
  • Optional HTTP Basic Auth credentials per deployment
  • Unmatched form references (in BPMN but not in localStorage) shown in modal before deploying
  • Deploy button disabled after a successful deployment to prevent accidental re-deploy

Files: BpmnCanvas.tsx (frontend), dmn.routes.ts + operaton.service.ts (backend)


v0.9.x — DMN Syntactic Validation (February 2026)

v0.9.1 — Date Input Validation Fix

Fixed a false "Missing 1 required input(s)" error in the Chain Composer when a DMN contains an optional Date input whose test value is intentionally null (e.g. overlijdensdatum in zorgtoeslag_resultaat).

The root cause was a two-part gap between how RDF stores test data and how the validator tracks input state. In TriplyDB, a null value cannot be represented as a schema:value triple, so optional date variables have no testValue property at all on the DmnVariable object returned by the backend. The Fill with test data button in InputForm.tsx only wrote a key into the inputs state object when testValue was defined — silently skipping null-default dates. The validator in ChainBuilder.tsx then checked input.identifier in inputs, found the key absent, and pushed the variable into missingInputs.

Two fixes were applied:

  • InputForm.tsx — the Fill button now explicitly sets Date inputs to null when testValue is undefined, ensuring the key is always registered in state after filling.
  • ChainBuilder.tsx — the validator now exempts Date inputs from the missing-input check when no value is present, consistent with the existing exemption for Boolean inputs (which default to false without user action). An unset date is a valid input state, not an authoring error.

v0.9.0 — DMN Validator

Added DMN Validator feature. The DMN Validator lets you validate one or more DMN files against the RONL DMN+ syntactic layers. It is accessible from the shield icon (🛡) in the sidebar. You can drop any number of .dmn or .xml files onto the validator at once, or add files incrementally — the drop zone remains visible at the top of the panel whenever files are loaded. Files are validated independently and displayed side-by-side for easy comparison.

The validator runs on the shared backend at POST /v1/dmns/validate and is used both by this Linked Data Explorer's standalone DMN Validator view and by the CPSV Editor's inline validation in the DMN tab.

v0.8.x — Governance & Vendor Integration (February 2026)

v0.8.4 — Vendor Services

Added vendor service discovery: ronl:VendorService resources are queried alongside DMN metadata, surfaced as blue count badges on DMN cards, and displayed in a detail modal with full provider information.

v0.8.3 — DMN Governance Badges

Three-state validation badge system using RONL Ontology v1.0 properties (ronl:validationStatus, ronl:validatedBy, ronl:validatedAt). Badges visible in both the DMN list and the Chain Composer. Organisation names resolved via skos:prefLabel.

v0.8.1 — BPMN DRD/DMN Selector

DmnTemplateSelector now loads both locally-saved DRD templates and regular DMNs from the backend, displayed in grouped options. Purple info card for DRDs shows chain composition. Auto-populates camunda:decisionRef with prefixed DRD entry-point identifier.


v0.7.x — BPMN Modeler & DRD Templates (February 2026)

v0.7.3 — DRD Template Linking (partial)

DMN template dropdown in BPMN properties panel implemented. Exact identifier auto-population working; variable compatibility validation planned for a future release.

Switch between TriplyDB datasets in real time without page reload. Backend caches DMN metadata per endpoint (5-minute TTL). Connection indicator shows direct vs proxied connection status.


v0.4.x — API Versioning & Export (January 2026)

v0.4.0 — Backend API v1

Migrated all endpoints to /v1/* following Dutch Government API Design Rules. Legacy /api/* endpoints retained with Deprecation headers. API-Version header in all responses. Chain export as JSON or BPMN 2.0 diagram.


v0.3.x — Chain Builder UI (January 2026)

v0.3.1 — Bug Fixes

Enhanced error messages for Operaton failures. Synchronized test data between preset and manual chain. Fixed execution progress visibility on first run.

Visual drag-and-drop chain builder. Real-time validation with input requirements. Dynamic form generation for DMN inputs. Chain execution with step-by-step progress tracking. In-app tutorial (accessible via ? icon). Deployment metadata display.


v0.2.0 — DMN Discovery & Orchestration View (January 2026)

SPARQL-based DMN discovery using CPRMV vocabulary. Three-panel orchestration view: DMN list, chain composer placeholder, details panel. Real-time search and filter. Input/output variable inspection. Automatic chain detection by variable matching. SPARQL result parsing for multiple query response formats.


v0.1.0 — Initial Release (January 2026)

React-based SPARQL visualisation and query tool. Interactive D3.js force-directed graph. Multiple endpoint support. Query editor with sample library and CORS proxy fallback. SELECT query results table. TypeScript interfaces and Vite build tooling.


Notable backend bug fixes

These fixes are documented here because they involve non-obvious root causes that are likely to recur.

TriplyDB health check returning HTTP 400

Root cause: The health check was calling axios.get(triplydbEndpoint) without a query parameter. SPARQL endpoints reject bare GET requests — they require either a POST with a query body or a GET with a ?query= parameter.

Fix: Updated health.routes.ts to call sparqlService.healthCheck(), which executes a minimal SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 1 query.

File: packages/backend/src/routes/health.routes.ts


/v1/* endpoints returning 404 after Azure deployment

Root cause: The GitHub Actions deployment step used cp -r dist/* deploy/, which flattened the compiled output. The package.json start script references dist/index.js, and health.routes.js inside dist/routes/ uses require('../../package.json') — both paths broke when the dist/ folder was removed.

Fix: Changed the deployment step to cp -r dist deploy/, preserving the directory structure.

# Before (broken)
cp -r dist/* deploy/

# After (correct)
cp -r dist deploy/

Files: .github/workflows/azure-backend-acc.yml, .github/workflows/azure-backend-production.yml


Root endpoint referencing deprecated /api/* paths

Root cause: The GET / root response had not been updated when API versioning was introduced, so it still advertised /api/health and /api/ as the documentation and health URLs.

Fix: Updated index.ts to reference /v1/* endpoints in the root response and added a legacy block explicitly marking the old paths as deprecated.

File: packages/backend/src/index.ts


Roadmap

Frontend — Phase 2

The following items are planned but not yet scheduled. Phase 1 features (v0.1–v0.8) are complete.

Database migration

Move chain templates and BPMN processes from localStorage to a server-side database. Enables user authentication and ownership, process versioning with history, and public sharing with access control. PostgreSQL is the planned backend, consistent with the RONL Business API stack.

Collaborative editing

Multiple users editing shared process definitions. Real-time or optimistic-update model TBD.

Advanced BPMN properties panel

Full editing of all BPMN element properties: form fields, execution listeners, input/output mappings, conditional expressions, timers. Currently only name and DMN reference are editable.

DRD export and versioning

Export generated DRD XML for versioning and sharing. Track DRD version history alongside template evolution.

Certification registry

A queryable view of all ronl:VendorService resources with ronl:certificationStatus "certified", enabling cross-service comparison of certified vendor implementations.

Multi-hop semantic chains

The current semantic validation checks only adjacent DMN pairs. Phase 2 will extend this to multi-hop: DMN1 → DMN2 → DMN3 where the connection between DMN1 and DMN3 is bridged semantically through DMN2.

Semantic concept browser

UI to explore the skos:exactMatch network: graph view of all concepts and their relationships, filterable by DMN or variable type, with search by concept URI.


Backend API — versioning roadmap

v0.5.0 (planned)

OpenAPI 3.0 specification served at /v1/openapi.json. Request/response validation against the spec. Rate limiting. Per-endpoint response caching layer.

v1.0.0 (planned)

Full Dutch Government API Design Rules compliance (API-16, API-51, API-02, API-10). Production-grade monitoring and alerting. Performance target: <800ms for any chain execution. Comprehensive structured error handling across all services.

v2.0.0 (future)

Remove all legacy /api/* endpoints. Evaluate Dutch naming for business resources (/v2/besluitmodellen etc.) per API-04. Enhanced orchestration: parallel chain execution where dependency graph allows. Batch execution support for multiple input sets.
