# Which Problems Are Solved
For switching v4.x releases to a corresponding maintenance branch, we
had to trick semantic release and create a `5.0.0-base` tag on main.
This now breaks the docs build, which tries to fetch all tags and build
a corresponding version.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Ignore pre-released tags/releases for the moment.
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- requires backport to v4.x
This pull request introduces several improvements and security
enhancements to the documentation build scripts in
`apps/docs/scripts/fetch-remote-content.mjs`, as well as updates to the
test configuration in `apps/docs/package.json` and
`apps/docs/project.json`. The main focus is on enabling local
development workflows, improving safety when handling refs and file
paths, and making the codebase more robust against injection and
traversal attacks.
**Security and validation improvements:**
* Added `safeLog` and `isValidRef` helper functions to sanitize logs and
validate refs, preventing log and command injection vulnerabilities.
* Updated logic for reading local files and external content to ensure
paths are securely resolved and checked, preventing directory traversal
and unauthorized file access.
**Local development and workflow enhancements:**
* Refactored content fetching logic to support copying local content and
public assets when the source ref matches the local branch, enabling
easier local testing and development.

* Improved handling of external files (like `defaults.yaml` and
`setup/steps.yaml`) in local and remote workflows, including secure
copying and conditional downloading.

* Enhanced relative import fixing logic to robustly rewrite paths and
ensure external files are downloaded or copied as needed, with clearer
separation of cases for content, public, and external assets.

**Testing and configuration updates:**
* Added a new `test:scripts` npm script for running script-level tests,
and updated the Nx test command to use this script for the docs app.

These changes improve the reliability, security, and developer
experience of the documentation build process.
