feat: support @issue mentions for MCP and web UI (#9580) - #9628
Conversation
Parse @issue/PROJ-123 and @proj-123 syntax into mention-component HTML when saving issue descriptions and comments via the API, so MCP-created content renders as clickable references. Enable issue and project mention rendering in the OSS editor with entity_display_name support. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds issue and project mention parsing, transformation, validation, and rendering. Backend serializers pass project context and sanitize generated mention components. The editor stores display names, searches entity mentions, and renders workspace-aware links. ChangesEntity mention backend flow
Editor mention flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to Saving issue descriptions or comments containing content through the new mention-processing path can fail with a runtime error, while project mentions may lead to invalid pages and issue mentions display incorrectly. These current-head correctness and navigation problems should be fixed before merging. Possibly related PRs

- Around line 8-19: Update the href construction in EditorProjectMention to
target a registered project child route, such as appending /issues after the
project ID, instead of linking to the unmatched project root path; preserve the
existing workspaceSlug fallback and parameter handling.

Do not delete project_id before workspace resolution.
Line 136 deletes the local variable. Line 141 then reads it. Every call with non-empty HTML raises UnboundLocalError, including calls that provide workspace_slug.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Prefix the issue label with @.
The API transformation replaces the source mention text with a component. This renderer then displays ENG-42 instead of @ENG-42. The Markdown serializer and EditorProjectMention retain the mention prefix.

Use a registered project route for project mentions.
next/navigation.useParams() is mapped to React Router by the compatibility shim. The generated /${workspaceSlug}/projects/${id}/ path has no matching route. Use the intended child route, such as /issues, or add a project index route.
