Detailed Analysis

Change 1: REST API Attachments Support (New Feature)

Description

Added support for attachments array field in REST API endpoints for adding and updating comments. This allows programmatic inclusion of attachment metadata when creating or modifying comments through REST API.

Affected Endpoints

  • POST https://api.velt.dev/v2/commentannotations/comments/add
  • POST https://api.velt.dev/v2/commentannotations/comments/update

New Data Structure

The attachments field is an array with the following schema:
{
  "attachmentId": 100001,          // number
  "name": "screenshot.png",         // string
  "bucketPath": "path/to/file",    // string (NEW FIELD)
  "size": 1024000,                 // number
  "type": "image",                 // string
  "url": "https://...",            // string
  "thumbnail": "https://...",      // string
  "mimeType": "image/png",         // string (matches SDK type: any)
  "metadata": {                    // object (flexible custom data)
    "width": 1920,
    "height": 1080,
    "uploadedAt": 1696118400000    // or "updatedAt" for updates
  }
}

Key Finding: New Field Identified

CRITICAL: The release note introduces a NEW field bucketPath (string) that is NOT currently documented in the SDK Data Models Attachment interface. Current SDK Attachment Model (lines 647-661 in data-models.mdx):
  • attachmentId (number)
  • name (string)
  • size (number)
  • type (string)
  • url (string)
  • thumbnail (string)
  • thumbnailWithPlayIconUrl (string)
  • metadata (any)
  • mimeType (any)
Missing Field: bucketPath (string)

Documentation Impact Assessment

REQUIRES UPDATES:
  1. ✅ REST API v2 Add Comments endpoint documentation
  2. ✅ REST API v2 Update Comments endpoint documentation
  3. ✅ SDK Data Models page (ADD bucketPath field to Attachment interface)
NO UPDATES NEEDED: 4. ❌ REST API v1 endpoints (v1 does NOT support attachments in Add/Update Comments) 5. ❌ SDK API Methods (no new SDK methods, only REST API) 6. ❌ React Hooks (no new hooks) 7. ❌ UI Customization docs (existing wireframes already support attachments) 8. ❌ Feature documentation (Comments feature docs already exist) 9. ❌ Migration guides (no breaking changes) 10. ❌ Code examples in feature docs (SDK API unchanged)

Change 2: Inline Comments Section Filter Dropdown Wireframe Fix (Bug Fix)

Description

Fixed UI rendering issue with inline comments section filter dropdown wireframe component.

Technical Details

  • Component: VeltInlineCommentsSectionWireframe filter dropdown
  • Issue: Component was not rendering correctly
  • Fix: Component now properly displays and functions as expected
  • File: /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/ui-customization/features/async/comments/inline-comments-section.mdx

Documentation Impact Assessment

NO UPDATES NEEDED:
  • This is a bug fix that corrects an existing component’s rendering behavior
  • No API changes, no parameter changes, no new features
  • The wireframe documentation already exists and is correct
  • Bug fixes without API changes do NOT require documentation updates per project guidelines

Areas Requiring Updates

1. Data Models (SDK)

Priority: HIGH Reason: New field bucketPath must be added to Attachment interface File: /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/sdk/models/data-models.mdx Required Changes:
  • Add new row to Attachment table (line ~657): bucketPath | string | No | Path to the file in storage bucket

2. REST API v2 - Add Comments

Priority: HIGH Reason: New attachments parameter support must be documented File: /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/rest-apis/v2/comments-feature/comments/add-comments.mdx Required Changes:
  • Add new attachments parameter to commentData properties (after line 109)
  • Include full attachment schema with all fields (including bucketPath)
  • Add example request showing attachments array usage (can reference release note example)
  • Update existing example or add new example demonstrating attachment usage

3. REST API v2 - Update Comments

Priority: HIGH Reason: New attachments parameter support must be documented File: /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/rest-apis/v2/comments-feature/comments/update-comments.mdx Required Changes:
  • Add new attachments parameter to updatedData properties (after line 95)
  • Include full attachment schema with all fields (including bucketPath)
  • Add example request showing attachments array usage (can reference release note example)
  • Update existing example or add new example demonstrating attachment usage

Areas NOT Requiring Updates

REST API v1 Endpoints

Reason: The release note specifically references v2 endpoints. V1 endpoints do NOT support this feature. Files Excluded:
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/rest-apis/v1/comments-feature/comments/add-comments.mdx
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/rest-apis/v1/comments-feature/comments/update-comments.mdx

SDK API Methods & Hooks

Reason: This feature is REST API only. SDK methods for attachments already exist and are unchanged. Files Excluded:
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/sdk/api/api-methods.mdx
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/api-reference/sdk/api/react-hooks.mdx

UI Customization Documentation

Reason: Wireframe components already support attachments. Bug fix does NOT change component API. Files Excluded:
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/ui-customization/features/async/comments/comment-dialog/subcomponents/composer/subcomponents/composer-attachments.mdx
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/ui-customization/features/async/comments/inline-comments-section.mdx

Feature Documentation

Reason: No new Comments feature introduced. Existing attachment functionality is unchanged in SDK. Files Excluded:
  • All files under /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/async-collaboration/comments/

Migration Guides

Reason: No breaking changes. This is additive functionality only. Files Excluded:
  • /Users/yoenzhang/Downloads/docs/release-notes/version-4/upgrade-guide.mdx

Implementation Sequence

Phase 1: Data Models Update (Foundation)

Order: 1 Reason: Other documentation references the Data Models page Files:
  1. Update Attachment interface in data-models.mdx

Phase 2: REST API Documentation Updates

Order: 2 Reason: Document the new API parameter support Files:
  1. Update v2 Add Comments endpoint
  2. Update v2 Update Comments endpoint

Quality Assurance Checklist

Pre-Implementation

  • Verified release note version matches documentation version (4.5.4-beta.4)
  • Identified all affected endpoints (v2 Add/Update only)
  • Confirmed v1 endpoints excluded from updates
  • Validated that bug fix requires NO documentation changes
  • Identified new field bucketPath not in current Data Models

During Implementation

  • Add bucketPath field to Attachment interface in Data Models
  • Add attachments parameter to v2 Add Comments endpoint documentation
  • Add attachments parameter to v2 Update Comments endpoint documentation
  • Include complete attachment schema in both endpoints
  • Add example requests showing attachment usage in both endpoints
  • Verify metadata object structure matches release note examples
  • Ensure field descriptions are consistent across all documentation

Post-Implementation

  • Verify all three files updated correctly
  • Confirm no v1 endpoints were modified
  • Validate attachment schema consistency across all docs
  • Check that examples match release note format
  • Ensure cross-references work correctly
  • Verify no unnecessary documentation updates made (bug fix excluded correctly)

Dependencies and Cross-References

  • Data Models page references: Both REST API endpoint docs should reference the Attachment interface
  • REST API navigation: Ensure both Add and Update endpoints are consistently documented

Version Consistency

  • All documentation must reference version 4.5.4-beta.4
  • Examples must use the exact schema from release notes

Risk Assessment

LOW RISK

Rationale:
  • This is additive functionality only (new optional parameter)
  • No breaking changes to existing APIs
  • Bug fix requires no documentation changes
  • Limited scope: only 3 files need updates
  • Clear schema definition provided in release notes

Potential Issues

  1. Schema Consistency: Must ensure bucketPath field is added to Data Models and matches REST API docs
  2. Version Confusion: Must NOT update v1 endpoints, only v2
  3. Over-documentation: Bug fix should NOT trigger unnecessary documentation updates

Agent-3 Instructions

When Agent-3 (Technical Documentation Specialist) receives this plan:
  1. Start with Data Models: Update the Attachment interface FIRST to add bucketPath field
  2. Update REST API v2 Only: Only modify v2 Add and Update Comments endpoints
  3. Use Release Note Examples: Reference the exact JSON examples from the release note
  4. Maintain Consistency: Ensure attachment schema matches across all three files
  5. Skip v1 Updates: Do NOT modify v1 REST API endpoint documentation
  6. Skip Bug Fix Documentation: Do NOT modify inline comments section filter docs (bug fix only)

Conclusion

This release requires minimal, targeted documentation updates:
  • 3 files to update: Data Models, v2 Add Comments, v2 Update Comments
  • 1 new field to add: bucketPath in Attachment interface
  • No breaking changes: All changes are additive
  • No UI customization updates: Bug fix requires no documentation changes
  • No feature documentation updates: Existing SDK functionality unchanged
The update scope is well-defined and low-risk, with clear examples provided in the release notes.
