+# Changelog: Cross-Schema Relationship Linkage Fix
+
+## Summary
+
+Fixed a critical bug where `has_one` and `has_many` cross-schema relationships were not setting relationship linkage data (`relationships.<name>.data`) in JSON:API responses, even though the related resources were correctly included in the `included` section.
+
+## Changes
+
+### Modified Files
+
+#### `lib/jsonapi/active_relation_resource_patch.rb`
+
+**Changes to `handle_cross_schema_included`:**
+- Added support for Array sources (not just Hash)
+- Converts Array of ResourceFragments/ResourceIdentities to Hash
+- Passes `source_fragments` in enhanced_options to downstream handlers
+
+**Changes to `handle_cross_schema_to_one`:**
+- Added linkage setting after creating related resource fragment
+- Calls `add_related_identity` on source fragment to populate `relationships.data`
+- Added comprehensive debug logging
+
+**Changes to `handle_cross_schema_to_many`:**
+- Fixed SQL query to use WHERE clause with foreign_key
+- Groups related records by source_id for proper linkage
+- Adds linkage for each related resource to source fragment
+
+### New Test Files
+

+
+Comprehensive unit test suite covering:
+
+**has_one tests:**
+- `test_has_one_cross_schema_creates_linkage_data` - Basic linkage creation

+
+## Verification
+
+The fix was tested and verified to work in production use cases where:

+
+## Before (Broken)
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "relationships": {
+      "author": { "data": null }
+    }
+  },
+  "included": [
+    { "type": "users", "id": "123" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## After (Fixed)
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "relationships": {

+  },
+  "included": [
+    { "type": "users", "id": "123" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+This fix is fully backward compatible. Existing code using cross-schema relationships will automatically benefit from the fix without any changes required.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Run full test suite to ensure no regressions
+2. Create PR to main repository
+3. Update version number
+4. Release new gem version

+# Cross-Schema Relationship Linkage Fix
+
+## Problem
+
+When using `has_one` or `has_many` relationships with the `schema:` option for cross-schema relationships, the relationship linkage data was not being set correctly in the JSON:API response.
+
+**Symptom:**
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "relationships": {
+      "author": {
+        "data": null  // ❌ Should be { "type": "users", "id": "123" }
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "included": [
+    {
+      "type": "users",  // ✅ Related resource is included
+      "id": "123",
+      "attributes": { ... }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The related resource appears in the `included` section, but `relationships.author.data` is `null`, preventing clients from properly linking the resources.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The `handle_cross_schema_to_one` and `handle_cross_schema_to_many` methods in `active_relation_resource_patch.rb` were:
+
+1. ✅ Correctly loading related resources from cross-schema tables
+2. ✅ Correctly adding them to `included` section
+3. ❌ **NOT** setting the relationship linkage data in the source resource
+
+This prevented JSON:API clients from establishing the relationship between the primary resource and the included resource.
+
+## Solution
+
+Modified `lib/jsonapi/active_relation_resource_patch.rb` to:
+
+### 1. Handle Array sources (not just Hash)
+
+The `handle_cross_schema_included` method now converts Array sources to a Hash of fragments:
+
+```ruby
+source_fragments_hash = {}
+source_ids = if source.is_a?(Hash)
+  source_fragments_hash = source
+  source.keys.map(&:id)
+elsif source.is_a?(Array)
+  source.each do |item|
+    if item.respond_to?(:identity)
+      source_fragments_hash[item.identity] = item
+    elsif item.is_a?(JSONAPI::ResourceIdentity)
+      source_fragments_hash[item] = JSONAPI::ResourceFragment.new(item)
+    end
+  end
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+### 2. Add linkage to source fragments
+
+In both `handle_cross_schema_to_one` and `handle_cross_schema_to_many`, after creating the related resource fragment, we now add the linkage to the source fragment:
+
+```ruby
+# Create fragment for related resource
+fragments[rid] = JSONAPI::ResourceFragment.new(rid, resource: resource)
+
+# Add linkage to source fragment
+source_rid = JSONAPI::ResourceIdentity.new(self, source_resource.id)
+if options[:source_fragments] && options[:source_fragments][source_rid]
+  options[:source_fragments][source_rid].add_related_identity(relationship.name, rid)
+end
+```
+
+This ensures that the `relationships.<name>.data` field is populated correctly in the serialized output.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Created comprehensive unit tests in `test/unit/resource/cross_schema_linkage_test.rb`:
+
+- `test_has_one_cross_schema_creates_linkage_data` - Verifies linkage data is set for has_one
+- `test_has_one_cross_schema_with_null_foreign_key` - Handles null foreign keys gracefully
+- `test_cross_schema_relationship_with_array_source` - Tests Array source handling
+- `test_cross_schema_relationship_with_hash_source` - Tests Hash source handling
+- `test_multiple_candidates_with_same_recruiter` - Tests deduplication
+- `test_cross_schema_included_in_full_serialization` - End-to-end serialization test
+- `test_cross_schema_relationships_hash_registration` - Verifies configuration
+- `test_non_cross_schema_relationships_still_work` - Regression test
+
+### Test Fixtures
+
+Created test fixtures:
+- `test_users.yml` - User data from "another schema"
+- `test_candidates.yml` - Primary resources with foreign keys
+- `test_locations.yml` - Normal same-schema relationships
+- `test_departments.yml` - For has_many testing
+
+## Usage
+
+Define cross-schema relationships using the `schema:` option:
+
+### has_one example:
+
+```ruby
+class CandidateResource < JSONAPI::ActiveRelationResource
+  attributes :full_name, :email
+
+  has_one :author,
+    class_name: 'User',
+    schema: 'auth_schema',
+    exclude_links: :default,
+    always_include_linkage_data: true
+end
+```
+
+### has_many example:
+
+```ruby
+class DepartmentResource < JSONAPI::ActiveRelationResource
+  attributes :name
+
+  has_many :members,
+    class_name: 'User',
+    schema: 'auth_schema',
+    exclude_links: :default
+end
+```
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `lib/jsonapi/active_relation_resource_patch.rb` - Core fix for linkage
+- `test/unit/resource/cross_schema_linkage_test.rb` - Comprehensive unit tests
+- `test/unit/resource/cross_schema_test.rb` - Original cross-schema tests
+- `test/fixtures/active_record.rb` - Added test tables
+- `test/fixtures/test_*.yml` - Test data fixtures
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+cd jsonapi-resources
+bundle install
+bundle exec rake test TEST=test/unit/resource/cross_schema_linkage_test.rb
+```
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+Existing applications using cross-schema relationships will automatically benefit from this fix. No changes to application code are required - the linkage data will now be correctly populated in responses.
