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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The 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.

Changes

Entity mention backend flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mention parsing and HTML transformation
apps/api/plane/utils/entity_mention_parser.py, apps/api/plane/tests/unit/utils/test_entity_mention_parser.py
The parser resolves issue and project mentions, generates mention-component elements, preserves unresolved mentions, skips existing components and script/style content, and transforms HTML fields.
Serializer validation and project context
apps/api/plane/api/serializers/issue.py, apps/api/plane/app/serializers/issue.py, apps/api/plane/api/views/issue.py, apps/api/plane/app/views/issue/comment.py, apps/api/plane/utils/content_validator.py
Issue descriptions and comments are transformed before sanitization. Comment serializers receive project_id. Sanitization permits entity_display_name.

Editor mention flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mention node data and renderers
packages/editor/src/core/extensions/mentions/*, packages/editor/src/core/types/mention.ts, apps/web/core/components/editor/embeds/mentions/*
Mention nodes and callback types support display names. Issue and project mentions render workspace-aware links.
Advanced mention search and selection
apps/web/core/hooks/use-additional-editor-mention.tsx
Advanced mention mode adds issue and project search sections, parses selected entities, and enables their mention types.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 8888f

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.

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.

Proposed fix
-    del project_id  # reserved for future project-scoped resolution defaults
-
     if not html_content:

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.

Proposed fix
-      <Link to={href}>{label}</Link>
+      <Link to={href}>@{label}</Link>

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.
