Summary

Added a new flag fetchDetailedExtractMeta that enables fetching of the detailed metadata via /metadata?view=detailed (getDetailedInstancesWithHydratedTaxonomy). This ensures more granular control over detailed metadata fields requests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for retrieving more detailed metadata in the redesigned metadata sidebar.
    • Detailed metadata can be enabled through the metadata.fetchDetailedMetadata feature flag.
    • When enabled, metadata results include expanded taxonomy details for supported reviews.
    • Metadata automatically refreshes when the feature setting changes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for enabled and disabled detailed metadata behavior across metadata retrieval and sidebar workflows.

Walkthrough

The metadata API now accepts shouldFetchDetailedMetadata. The sidebar reads metadata.fetchDetailedMetadata.enabled and passes the value through the fetch hook. Detailed hydrated taxonomy data is fetched when metadata redesign is active and the flag is enabled.

Changes

Detailed metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metadata API flag propagation and selection
src/api/Metadata.js, src/api/__tests__/Metadata.test.js
The flag flows through getMetadata, the scoped and namespaced fetch helpers, and getInstances. Detailed hydrated taxonomy data is selected when metadata redesign is active and either the review flag or detailed metadata flag is enabled. Tests cover forwarding and selection behavior.
Sidebar feature-flag wiring
src/elements/content-sidebar/MetadataSidebarRedesign.tsx, src/elements/content-sidebar/hooks/useSidebarMetadataFetcher.ts, src/elements/content-sidebar/__tests__/*
The sidebar maps metadata.fetchDetailedMetadata.enabled to the hook. The hook forwards the flag to getMetadata and re-fetches when the flag changes. Tests cover enabled and disabled states.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6d852

When the detailed-metadata flag changes during use, the sidebar may retain metadata fetched under the prior flag state rather than loading the requested detailed view. Resolve the fetch deduplication behavior before merging.

A rabbit flips the feature switch
Detailed metadata fills the niche
Through hooks and APIs data flows
Hydrated taxonomy neatly grows
Tests guard each flag state
The sidebar fetches on cue

359-360: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Include shouldFetchDetailedExtractMeta in the metadata fetch key.

When this flag changes after the initial fetch, fetchMetadata changes and the effect runs. The unchanged key still matches, so Line 360 returns before getMetadata runs. The sidebar then keeps metadata fetched with the previous detail level.

Proposed fix
-        const fetchKey = `${file.id}:${enterpriseFqn ?? ''}:${metadataNamespaceMode ?? ''}`;
+        const fetchKey = `${file.id}:${enterpriseFqn ?? ''}:${metadataNamespaceMode ?? ''}:${shouldFetchDetailedExtractMeta}`;

Add a rerender regression test that changes the flag and verifies a second getMetadata call.

One thing we are trying to emphasize is removing product names from various feature flags and only describe the capability. In this case shouldFetchDetailedMeta(data?) seems to be the capability and Extract happens to be the one use case.

However with a repo as old as buie we have to consider that new capabilities may be used for different, non-extract products in the future. For that reason it would be best if you could find a name like shouldFetchDetailedMetadata. However we should also consider that maybe in the future there will be an even more detailed metadata, so we don't want to just call this one detailed. Maybe it could be metadataWith<FlagsYouAdded>?

@jpan-box I'd rather go with the shouldFetchDetailedMetadata, as we're not requesting specific data here, but just calling a detailed endpoint.

I thinks it's fine to call it "detailed" as it's literally the query parameter that we pass to the metadata endpoint

will there be scenarios where isBoundingBoxOrConfidenceScoreReviewEnabled is true and shouldFetchDetailedMetadata is false or vice versa? if these two will always be evaluated in the same way maybe they could be combined at a higher level. that way it also keeps this list of vars from growing if you need to add more.

i dont know what your plans are though or the expected behaviors so up to you - just something i noticed.

@jpan-box I kept the older condition just for safety and backwards compatibility

isConfidenceScoreEnabled = false,
isBoundingBoxEnabled = false,
namespaceContext: MetadataNamespaceFetchContext = {},
shouldFetchDetailedMetadata = false,

with the tests in this file i notice shouldFetchDetailedMetadata is always false.

I would expect some tests for the behavior when shouldFetchDetailedMetadata is true as well, and then maybe the other combinations of isBoundingBoxEnabled true/false.
