[P3] PCC v2 is_foundation flag always returns false — unusable as a filter

[seberslinux]

Summary

The is_foundation boolean field on PCC v2 project records returns false for every project checked, including projects that are clearly foundations: The Linux Foundation, CNCF, ASWF, FINOS.

Observed behaviour

{ "name": "The Linux Foundation", "is_foundation": false }
{ "name": "Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)", "is_foundation": false }
{ "name": "Academy Software Foundation (ASWF)", "is_foundation": false }
{ "name": "FINOS", "is_foundation": false }

PCC clearly distinguishes foundations from sub-projects in its UI and data model, but the field doesn't reflect this.

Impact

Any caller using is_foundation to filter or categorise projects will silently treat all projects as non-foundations. The field is currently unusable.

Location

PCC v2 · get_project · search_projects — is_foundation field

Severity

P3 — field is present but always wrong; workarounds exist (checking legal_entity_type, parent_uid, etc.)

Suggested fix

Populate is_foundation correctly in the v2 API response. If the determination logic needs updating to match the current data model, document the intended semantics of the field.
