Code Review
This pull request effectively addresses security vulnerabilities by replacing several outdated frontend dependencies (clipboard, notyf, cytoscape-cola) with modern, secure alternatives. The changes are well-executed, using the native Clipboard API and SweetAlert2 for notifications, which are great improvements. The E2E tests have been correctly updated to reflect these changes. I've found one issue related to leftover imports from the removed packages in a file that might break the build, which I've detailed in a specific comment. Otherwise, this is a solid and well-documented contribution to improving the project's security posture.

While removing the clipboard dependency is correct, there's a leftover import in studio/src/main/js/studio-main.js that could cause a build failure if this file is processed. The notyf dependency, also removed in this PR, has a similar leftover import in the same file. Please ensure all references to the removed packages are cleaned up. Specifically, the imports for clipboard and notyf (and their CSS) should be removed from studio/src/main/js/studio-main.js.
Code Review: Studio Security Dependencies CleanupThank you for this comprehensive security improvement PR! Here is my detailed review: Strengths
Critical Issues (BLOCKING)1. Incomplete Removal in studio-main.jsFile: studio/src/main/js/studio-main.js The file still imports removed dependencies at lines 32, 52-56. This will cause build failures. Fix Required - Remove these lines:
Potential Issues2. Multiple Event Handler BindingsFiles: studio-graph.js:218, query.html:493 Clipboard handlers use .on('click') inside functions called multiple times, causing handler accumulation. Use .off('click').on('click') or event delegation. 3. fcose Dependencies Loading OrderHybrid webpack bundling + script tags could cause timing issues. Verify graph rendering works on initial page load. 4. E2E Docker ImageEnsure CI uses Docker image with these changes. Document local testing with SNAPSHOT image. Minor Suggestions
Required Actions Before Merge
Overall AssessmentThis is high-quality work with excellent planning. The security improvements are significant and the technical approach is sound. The critical blocker is a simple oversight that is easy to fix. Recommendation: Request changes for studio-main.js fix, then approve after verification. Per CLAUDE.md: Security ✅, Performance ✅, Code quality ✅, Testing Great work overall! |

Code Review - Studio Security Dependencies CleanupThank you for this comprehensive security improvement PR! The approach is well-thought-out and the documentation is excellent. However, I've identified several critical issues that need to be addressed before merging. 🔴 Critical Issues (MUST FIX)1.

PR Review: Fix Security Issues on StudioI've reviewed PR #3356 and here's my comprehensive feedback: ✅ Strengths1. Security Improvements
2. Code Quality
3. Test Coverage
🔍 Issues & Recommendations1. CRITICAL: Missing Dependency Files in webpack.config.js // Lines 189-196 in webpack.config.js
{
from: 'node_modules/layout-base/layout-base.js',
to: 'js/layout-base.js',
},
{
from: 'node_modules/cose-base/cose-base.js',
to: 'js/cose-base.js',
},Problem: The layout-base and cose-base packages are transitive dependencies of cytoscape-fcose, not direct dependencies in package.json. Webpack's CopyWebpackPlugin cannot copy files from transitive dependencies this way. Impact: Build will fail or files won't be copied, breaking the graph layout functionality. Solution: Either:
Recommendation: Since you're already importing fcose in studio-main.js line 1311, you should remove the manual copy rules for layout-base, cose-base, and cytoscape-fcose from webpack.config.js AND remove the script tags from index.html. Let webpack bundle them properly. 2. Code Quality Issue: Event Handler Memory Leaks In studio-graph.js lines 218-234 and query.html lines 1513-1524, using .off().on() pattern. Problem: While using .off() before .on() is good practice to prevent multiple bindings, this pattern in modal/popup contexts can still cause issues if the elements are dynamically recreated. Recommendation: Consider using event delegation for better memory management. 3. Browser Compatibility Consideration The Clipboard API requires HTTPS or localhost. The design doc mentions this, but there's no fallback for HTTP environments. Recommendation: Add a graceful degradation fallback or at minimum, show a helpful error message. 4. Layout Configuration Change The migration from cola to fcose changes layout parameters significantly:
Concern: This may change the visual appearance of existing graphs. Have you verified this doesn't negatively impact UX? 5. PR Description Missing The PR body still contains template placeholders. Please fill in:

Should Fix: Nice to Have: 📊 Overall AssessmentThis PR addresses important security concerns and follows good practices with comprehensive testing and documentation. However, the webpack configuration issue is critical and will likely cause build failures. Once fixed, this will be a solid improvement to the codebase. Recommendation: Request changes to fix the webpack dependency issue before merging.
