UoE/fix(bitstreams): offer CC-LICENSE when adding a bitstream (#888)

[milanmajchrak]

Fixes the UI half of dataquest-dev/dspace-customers#888. Companion to dataquest-dev/uoe-dspace-datashare-backend#45.

What was wrong

Curators reported being able to add a licence and a depositor agreement to an item by hand, but not a CC licence — "there's no option to add a CC-License bundle". It was reported twice, by two people, and never diagnosed in the original thread.

The cause is one line. The bundle suggestion list on the Upload bitstream page is the item's existing bundles plus a fixed set of standard ones, and that set was:

standardBundles: ['ORIGINAL', 'THUMBNAIL', 'LICENSE'],

CC-LICENSE simply was not in it.

What this does

Adds CC-LICENSE to that list, in src/config/default-app-config.ts with config/config.example.yml kept in sync.

The control is a free-text typeahead with a "New bundle" button, so the bundle was always typeable — this only makes it discoverable.

config/config.yml is deliberately not touched: mergeConfig replaces arrays wholesale, so the shipped default alone already produces the wanted list, and putting a UoE-only diff on an otherwise-stock upstream file would both permanently shadow future upstream additions and guarantee a conflict on every sync.

Blast radius

standardBundles has exactly two consumers repo-wide, both in upload-bitstream.component.ts ngOnInit, and it only ever feeds suggestions — it never creates a bundle. Item pages render bundles fetched from REST, so they are unaffected. The DataShare theme already renders CC-LICENSE and the IIIF viewer already excludes it.

Verified

Karma suite green (5485), eslint clean.

Cypress against a live full stack (this UI, the DataShare theme, a real backend, an item created by the batch importer): the dropdown renders ORIGINAL / THUMBNAIL / LICENSE / CC-LICENSE.

Note

Adding a CC licence by hand through this dropdown produces a different shape from the one the importer and the web submission produce — the bitstream is named after the uploaded file, with a guessed format and no source, rather than license_text / License / org.dspace.license.CreativeCommons. And if the item already has a CC-LICENSE bundle, the upload adds a second bitstream to it, which the DataShare theme will not display. Worth knowing before this is used as a repair route for existing items; the proper fix for those is a repair script.
