Brings the Drupal side of the docs in line with drupal/druxt 1.2.2, and takes the reference backend to Drupal 11.

Requirements and the quiet failure

drupal/druxt 1.2.1 and earlier fatal against Decoupled Router 2.0.7: their path translator overrides onPathTranslation() without the : void 2.0.7 declares. The failure is quiet rather than loud, because the fatal happens while the container rebuilds, so Drupal keeps serving the old container and the visible symptom is routes and Views paths silently not resolving.

  • composer require drupal/druxt:^1.2.2, with the reason stated: Composer will otherwise pair an earlier release with a Decoupled Router it cannot run against.
  • Removed "Keep Decoupled Router below 2.0.7", which 1.2.2 makes not merely unnecessary but wrong. It also contradicted the requirement six lines above it.
  • Core bounds corrected: 10 or 11, 8 and 9 ended with 1.2.2, 12 declared but waiting on Decoupled Router and JSON:API Menu Items.
  • New troubleshooting entry for the symptom above.

Six patches down to two

Four were residue rather than decisions: druxt #3315030 and #3467742 shipped in 1.2.1, jsonapi_menu_items #3192576 is closed-fixed, and decoupled_router #3172926 and #3468825 are closed duplicate and closed outdated. They survived only because the backend was pinned to druxt 1.2.0 and Decoupled Router 2.0.5.

The two that remain are one problem: a decoupled frontend calls /router/translate-path?path=/es with no prefix of its own, so everything resolves in the default language. Both are referenced as merge request diffs rather than vendored, deliberately, so this dogfooding backend tracks what those branches actually do. docs/drupal/README.md records that intent and its cost.

The multilingual guide previously documented one patch where the backend applied six, and handed readers the comment-66 file that patches/README.md recorded as not applying. That is how a consuming site ended up broken.

Drupal 11

docs/drupal was on core 10.2.5, roughly two dozen SA-COREs behind, and a targeted composer update could not resolve at all because Composer blocks advisory-affected packages.

Now core 11.4.6, simple_oauth 6.1.1, drush 13.7.6, tome 1.16.0, jsonapi_menu_items 1.2.8, matching the umami backend's stack. composer validate reports no security advisories.

Two upgrade blockers, both found and fixed:

  • sdc in core.extension.yml is obsolete in 11 (folded into core), which blocked config import. Found by reading lifecycle: from every enabled extension rather than grepping a list of known-removed names.
  • roles on the committed consumer entity: the field is gone in the simple_oauth 6 line, which blocked content import. It was empty, so nothing is lost.

Also removed a hardcoded $databases block that had been committed into web/sites/default/settings.php after the settings.local.php include, silently overriding it. It meant .devtools/provision ignored DB_FILE and reused an already-installed database, so provisioning failed with "already installed" for anyone who tried it.

Verified end to end, provision exit 0: 19 nodes all with Spanish translations, 33 terms, 21 media, and

path view langcode label
/ frontpage/page_1 en Home
/es frontpage/page_1 es Inicio

That is Decoupled Router 2.0.7 plus MR!35 plus druxt MR!9 on Drupal 11, a combination not previously tested; the umami backend is pinned at 2.0.5.

Other

  • Example backend swapped from demo-api.druxtjs.org to api.umami.demo.druxtjs.org across 21 files, including 14 packages/*/src JSDoc examples that render on the API reference. test-utils' baseUrl constant and the 192 URL-hashed fixtures are deliberately untouched, as one coherent package change for later.
  • composer.json metadata said "Example Drupal 9 backend"; now named for its role rather than a version, so it does not go stale again.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated examples and tutorials to use the Umami demo API endpoint.

📝 Walkthrough

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 871d9

The Drupal 11 backend update can install vendor changes from mutable patch sources, and its Brotli delivery rules may return Brotli content to clients that have disallowed it. These issues can affect dependency integrity and limited client compatibility, so they should be addressed before merge.

Bind merge-request patches to reviewed content before deployment.

docs/drupal/composer.json fetches mutable merge-request diffs, and cweagans/composer-patches 1.x records no patch hashes. The README documents this as an intentional dogfooding trade-off, but a later upstream push can still change vendor code while the build remains green.

🌐 Web query:

Apache mod_rewrite RewriteCond regular expression Accept-Encoding q=0 mod_negotiation official documentation

💡 Result:

When configuring Apache to serve pre-compressed resources, relying on simple mod_rewrite RewriteCond checks for headers like Accept-Encoding is prone to errors, particularly regarding HTTP quality values (q-values) [1][2]. Official Apache documentation confirms that mod_negotiation is the native module designed to handle content negotiation, including support for Accept-Encoding headers and associated quality factors [3]. Key Technical Considerations: 1. Limitations of mod_rewrite for Negotiation: Many common implementation patterns for serving compressed files use RewriteCond to check if a string (like gzip) exists within the Accept-Encoding header [1]. This approach is fundamentally flawed because it often ignores quality values (e.g., gzip;q=0), which specify that a client explicitly refuses a specific encoding [1][2]. Properly parsing complex, prioritized Accept-Encoding headers using regular expressions in RewriteCond is difficult and typically incomplete [2]. 2. mod_negotiation Role: The mod_negotiation module is compiled into Apache by default and is designed to handle server-driven content negotiation [3]. It supports the standard Accept-Encoding header and respects the quality factors defined in HTTP specifications [3]. 3. Quality Values (q-values): Per HTTP standards, clients use q-values (0 to 1) to express preference. A value of q=0 indicates that the client does not accept that specific encoding [1][2]. While mod_negotiation handles these values natively, manual rewrite rules often fail to distinguish between the presence of a token and its explicit rejection via a zero quality factor [1][2]. 4. Recommendation: The official documentation and technical consensus recommend utilizing native content negotiation mechanisms rather than attempting to reimplement negotiation logic through complex, error-prone mod_rewrite conditions [2]. If you require precise control over content variants, rely on mod_negotiation or dedicated mechanisms provided by the server rather than custom string-matching rewrite rules [1][2].

Citations:


Honor Accept-Encoding quality values before serving Brotli.

The substring condition matches br;q=0 and br;q=0.1, gzip;q=1. The Brotli rule runs first and can serve .br when Brotli is forbidden or has lower priority. Use Apache content negotiation or parse the quality values. Apply the same fix to the JavaScript condition at line 162 and add tests for both cases.
