Walkthrough

Replaces the boolean validation flag with a structured validation object supporting staged stop flags; moves enforcement into ZModelDocumentBuilder’s constructor; refactors linking to use ReferenceInfo and to traverse references via AstUtils.streamReferences; bumps VSCode extension version.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Validation config surface
packages/language/src/index.ts
Replaces single boolean validation flag with a structured validation object that can stop after lexing, parsing, or linking errors.
Document builder initialization
packages/language/src/zmodel-document-builder.ts
Removes buildDocuments override; adds constructor(services: LangiumSharedCoreServices) that mutates updateBuildOptions to enforce stopAfterLexingErrors, stopAfterParsingErrors, and stopAfterLinkingErrors based on provided validation config; updates imports and public API surface accordingly.
Linker reference traversal & API
packages/language/src/zmodel-linker.ts

Poem

I nibble tokens, hop through parse-time dew,
Flags line up — lex, parse, link — set true,
I sniff each ref, follow targets to the end,
Streams of nodes and links now neatly penned.
A carrot constructor — hop, resolve, amend! 🥕🐇

PR Code Review

Reviewing PR: fix(language): some references are not resolved; suppress validation on previous errors

Todo List:

  • Read and analyze changed files
  • Review code quality and best practices
  • Check for potential bugs or issues
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Assess security concerns
  • Review test coverage implications
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Review Summary

This PR makes targeted improvements to ZenStack's language processing pipeline, addressing both reference resolution and validation behavior. The changes are well-focused and improve the robustness of the system.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Strengths:

  • Clean separation of concerns with focused changes to specific components
  • Proper use of Langium APIs (AstUtils.streamReferences() vs manual iteration)
  • Consistent code style following established patterns
  • Good constructor-based initialization pattern in ZModelDocumentBuilder

Minor improvement opportunity:

  • Consider extracting the stopFlags object in zmodel-document-builder.ts:10-14 as a constant to reduce duplication and improve maintainability

Bug Fixes & Issues Addressed ✅

The PR addresses two key issues:

  1. Reference Resolution Fix (zmodel-linker.ts:497):

    • Replaced manual property iteration with AstUtils.streamReferences()
    • This leverages Langium's optimized reference detection
    • Fixes cases where some references weren't being resolved properly
  2. Validation Strategy (index.ts:73-77, zmodel-document-builder.ts):

    • Implements early validation termination on errors
    • Prevents cascading validation failures
    • Improves error reporting quality by suppressing noise from earlier failures

Performance Considerations ✅

Improvements:

  • AstUtils.streamReferences() is more efficient than manual object property iteration
  • Early validation termination reduces unnecessary processing
  • Constructor-based options setting in ZModelDocumentBuilder avoids runtime overhead

Impact: Positive performance impact, especially for documents with errors.

Security Concerns ✅

Assessment: No security concerns identified. The changes:

  • Use established Langium APIs safely
  • Don't introduce new external dependencies
  • Don't handle user input directly
  • Maintain existing access controls

Technical Analysis

packages/language/src/zmodel-linker.ts:

  • Line 497: The switch from manual iteration to AstUtils.streamReferences() is a significant improvement. The previous approach (lines 496-503 in old code) was error-prone and could miss references that Langium's internal logic would catch.
  • Line 11: Removal of unused isReference import shows good housekeeping.

packages/language/src/zmodel-document-builder.ts:

  • Lines 4-25: Complete refactor from method override to constructor-based configuration is cleaner and more maintainable.
  • Lines 10-18: Proper handling of different validation option types (boolean vs object) with sensible defaults.

packages/language/src/index.ts:

  • Lines 73-78: Explicit validation configuration replaces simple true flag, providing better control over the build process.

Test Coverage Implications ⚠️

Observation: No test changes accompany these fixes. Consider adding tests for:

  • Reference resolution edge cases that were previously failing
  • Validation termination behavior with different error types
  • Document building with various validation option configurations

The changes affect core language processing functionality that would benefit from regression tests.

Minor Suggestions

  1. Documentation: Consider adding inline comments explaining the validation strategy in zmodel-document-builder.ts
  2. Constants: Extract stopFlags object as a module-level constant
  3. Error Handling: Consider logging when validation is stopped early for debugging purposes

Overall Assessment ✅

This is a solid bug fix that improves the language processing pipeline's reliability and performance. The changes are focused, well-implemented, and follow good software engineering practices. The fixes address real issues in reference resolution and validation handling without introducing new risks.

Recommendation: Approve - These are targeted improvements that enhance the system's robustness.

496-501: Bug: extraScopes are ignored during default linking

resolveDefault now calls doLink directly, bypassing linkReference and losing the extraScopes resolution path. This breaks scoped resolutions like enum-field disambiguation in resolveDataField and transitive references in resolveAttributeArg.

Apply this diff so resolveDefault uses linkReference per reference and honors extraScopes:

-        AstUtils.streamReferences(node).forEach((ref) => this.doLink(ref, document));
+        AstUtils.streamReferences(node).forEach(({ container, property }) => {
+            this.linkReference(container, property, document, extraScopes);
+        });

15-19: Handle undefined validation config

If updateBuildOptions.validation is undefined, current logic leaves it unchanged. Prefer defaulting to stopFlags to ensure staged early‑exit works without explicit config.

-        if (validationOptions === true) {
+        if (validationOptions === true || validationOptions === undefined) {
             validationOptions = stopFlags;
         } else if (typeof validationOptions === 'object') {
             validationOptions = { ...validationOptions, ...stopFlags };

21-24: LGTM: centralizing validation behavior in the builder

Constructor-based override of updateBuildOptions is clean and aligns with the staged validation approach.

Please confirm we don’t rely elsewhere on mutating BuildOptions at call sites beyond index.ts, to avoid divergent behavior.

packages/language/src/index.ts (1)

73-77: LGTM: switch to structured validation flags

Passing explicit stopAfter* flags to build is consistent with the new staged validation approach. Slightly redundant with the builder’s constructor override, but harmless.

Confirm DocumentBuilder here is the custom ZModelDocumentBuilder so the constructor override is in effect.

109-126: Use the target’s document when creating node descriptions

Creating the description with the referencing document can misassociate URIs for cross-document targets. Prefer the target’s document (if available) to keep “go to definition” and indexing consistent.

If available in your Langium version, consider:

  • targetDoc = AstUtils.getDocument(target) ?? document
  • reference._nodeDescription = this.descriptions.createDescription(target, target.name, targetDoc)

Please confirm whether AstUtils.getDocument (or an equivalent) is available in your version; otherwise, relying solely on setting reference._ref may be sufficient here.


395-402: TransitiveFieldReference: ensure default linking doesn’t overwrite custom-scope resolution

These custom-scope resolutions are correct, but subsequent generic linking of the same ReferenceExpr can override them. The early-return guard in linkReference and the filtered linking in resolveDefault (see suggestions) prevent that.

Please confirm that, with the guard in place, item.target won’t be re-linked by later passes (e.g., when the ReferenceExpr node itself is visited).

Also applies to: 408-415

13-13: Importing ReferenceInfo is correct for the new ReferenceInfo-based linking

Looks good.


101-101: Verify DefaultLinker.doLink signature (2-arg vs 1-arg)

Some Langium versions expose doLink(info: ReferenceInfo) while newer ones accept (info, document). Ensure the two-argument call matches your version to avoid TS2554.

If your Langium only supports a single arg, use:

-        this.doLink(refInfo, document);
+        this.doLink(refInfo);

270-270: Good change: link InvocationExpr.function via ReferenceInfo

Switching to ReferenceInfo here aligns with streamReferences-based linking and centralizes behavior.

Overall Assessment ⚠️

This PR contains solid improvements to the language processing pipeline, but has critical issues that need addressing before merge:

  1. Must fix: The extraScopes parameter bypass in resolveDefault()
  2. Should fix: Add guard against re-linking resolved references
  3. Nice to have: Add regression tests for the fixes

The underlying fixes for reference resolution and validation are excellent, but the implementation needs refinement to avoid breaking existing functionality.

Recommendation: Request changes - Address the critical extraScopes issue, then these are valuable improvements to the system's robustness.
