[Copilot]

Implements a beginner-friendly property documentation system independent of the Open Food Facts wiki, enabling web components and mobile apps to dynamically generate appropriate input forms and display property information in knowledge panels.

Core Implementation

• YAML schema in data/properties/ with 10 example properties (scoville_scale, storage_capacity, organic, caffeine_content, etc.)
• Three API endpoints:
  • GET /properties - List/search properties
  • GET /properties/{key} - Full documentation
  • GET /properties/{key}/knowledge-panel - Panel configuration
• Pydantic models with comprehensive type hints (PropertyDocumentation, PropertyList)
• Property loader with module-level caching (55ms → 0.0014ms) and specific exception handling

Property Schema Features

Each YAML file supports:

• Multilingual names/descriptions (EN, FR, ES, DE, IT, NL, PT)
• Icons and value-specific images (e.g., 16GB/32GB storage icons)
• Wikidata linking (property IDs and URLs)
• Value validation (permitted values, formats, units)
• Input widget configuration (slider, select, multiselect, color, etc.)
• Knowledge panel display settings (badges, gauges, thresholds)
• Category scoping (en:spices, en:beverages)

Integration Example

// Fetch property and generate input widget
const prop = await fetch('/properties/scoville_scale').then(r => r.json());

// prop.input_widget = { type: "slider", min: 0, max: 100000, step: 100 }
// prop.name = { en: "Scoville Scale", fr: "Échelle de Scoville" }
// prop.permitted_values = [{ value: "0-100", label: { en: "Mild" } }, ...]

const widget = createSliderInput(prop, userLanguage);

Documentation

• data/properties/README.md - YAML schema specification
• data/properties/INTEGRATION.md - Web component and mobile app integration guide with Flutter/React Native examples
• PROPERTY_SYSTEM.md - Architecture and implementation details

No database migrations required. Properties are read-only YAML files that can be updated without code changes.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Task</issue_title>
<issue_description>@copilot can you create a beginner friendly Yaml documentation system for the properties, that's not reliant on the Open Food Facts wiki, but has a link to it, that allows to:

• add standardized images/icons for properties (or property/value couples like 16GO, 32GO…) to allow user to quickly visually parse information

• multilingual ready instructions on permitted values, what the property is about, example of usage
  link to equivalent property in wikidata (eg: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1552)

• anything you could find useful in such a system to improve the Folksonomy Engine experience for non technical users non familiar with a key value system.

• It would use the Knowledge panel system introduced in feat: Add Knowledge Panel compliant route with enhanced formatting for Folksonomy Engine #317

• it would provide a system similar to the knowledge panels to pilot a bespoke input widget (based on the property (numeric, units, boolean…) and possibly the theme, by linking the user value added of inputing the property, like add the scoville scale to know how spicy the food is, potentially limited to one or a combination of open food facts tags like category: en:spices ) inside a webcomponent (https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-webcomponents) or the open food facts mobile app 'https://github.com/openfoodfacts/smooth-app) - You have a list of existing properties in the discussion of feat: Add Knowledge Panel compliant route with enhanced formatting for Folksonomy Engine #317

🚀 New features to boost your workflow:

• ❄️ Test Analytics: Detect flaky tests, report on failures, and find test suite problems.

Use proper URL parsing and assert on the hostname rather than checking for a substring in the full URL string.

Best fix in this file:

• In tests/test_properties.py, import urlparse from urllib.parse.
• In test_property_wikidata_links, replace the substring assertion with:
  • parse the URL (parsed = urlparse(prop.wikidata_url))
  • assert hostname exists
  • assert hostname is exactly wikidata.org or ends with .wikidata.org (to allow valid subdomains safely)

This keeps behavior aligned with the original intent (“URL belongs to Wikidata”) while removing the incomplete substring sanitization pattern flagged by CodeQL.
