Feature flag rollout: dependency_malware_field_project
## Summary Rollout issue for the `dependency_malware_field_project` feature flag introduced in !233323. This flag gates the new `malware` field on the **project-level** dependency surfaces: | Surface | Endpoint / Type | |---------|----------------| | GraphQL | `DependencyType` via `DependencyInterface` | | Grape REST API | `GET /api/v4/projects/:id/dependencies` | | Controller JSON | `GET /projects/:id/-/dependencies.json` | A companion group-level flag (`dependency_malware_field_group`) is tracked in its own rollout issue alongside MR !233324. ## Feature flag | Flag | Type | Scope | Default | |------|------|-------|---------| | `dependency_malware_field_project` | wip | project | disabled | Must be used in conjunction with the `sscs_malware_detection` WIP feature flag (which gates whether the SSCS add-on is considered active). When `sscs_malware_detection` is off, the `malware` field returns `null` even with this flag enabled. ## Field semantics (when flag is enabled) | Condition | `malware` value | |-----------|-----------------| | GLAM-prefixed identifier on any vulnerability for the dependency | `true` | | No GLAM identifier and `sscs_malware_detection` enabled | `false` | | `sscs_malware_detection` disabled | `null` | When the flag itself is disabled, the field returns `null` in GraphQL and is omitted in REST / Controller responses. ## Rollout steps ### Enable on staging - [ ] Enable `dependency_malware_field_project` on staging - [ ] Verify the `malware` field appears in GraphQL `DependencyType` responses - [ ] Verify the `malware` field appears in `GET /api/v4/projects/:id/dependencies` - [ ] Verify the `malware` field appears in `GET /projects/:id/-/dependencies.json` - [ ] Verify expected `true` / `false` / `null` values against test data (see MR description) - [ ] Check for query / latency regressions on the dependency list endpoints ### Enable on production (percentage rollout) - [ ] Enable for a specific project / group first - [ ] Monitor for errors and latency regressions on the affected endpoints - [ ] Gradually increase rollout percentage - [ ] Enable globally ### Cleanup - [ ] Remove the `dependency_malware_field_project` feature flag and always expose the field - [ ] Remove `malware_field_enabled?` gates in `DependencyInterface`, `DependencyEntity`, and `API::Entities::Dependency` - [ ] Update the FF YAML / docs ## Related - Implementation MR: !233323 - Companion group-level MR: !233324 - Parent issue: #587647 - Parent epic: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/work_items/18456
