fix: make task, doc, folder, sprint and view updates atomic to prevent races - #552
Conversation
…, and views to prevent race conditions - Added UpdateFolderAtomic and UpdateDocumentAtomic methods to the fakeDocRepo for atomic updates. - Refactored UpdateSprint and CompleteSprint methods in sprint_service.go to use UpdateSprintAtomic for atomic updates. - Introduced UpdateViewAtomic method in view_service.go for atomic updates of views. - Enhanced test coverage with new tests for folder and document update cycles, ensuring proper error handling for cyclic dependencies. - Created e2e tests to validate concurrent updates and race conditions across tasks, documents, folders, sprints, and views. - Updated HTTP response handling to include new error codes for folder cycles and self-parenting.

Caution
This PR changes the sprint/doc repository interfaces in a way that breaks compilation of the test/integration package: the interface methods were renamed to *Atomic but the integration fakes were not updated. go test ./... / go vet ./... fail before any test runs.

Service.UpdateTaskroutes any save that setsparent_task_idortask_type_idthroughUpdateTaskAtomic;UpdateTaskFieldsnow filtersdeleted_at IS NULLand returnsErrTaskNotFoundon zero rows. - Document/folder updates made atomic — new

🚨 test/integration no longer compiles after the repository interface rename
The PR replaced UpdateSprint/UpdateView/UpdateDocument/UpdateFolder on the sprint and doc repository interfaces with *Atomic variants, and updated the unit-test fakes under internal/service/…. The integration package's fakes were missed, so docsvc.New/sprintsvc.New/sprintsvc.NewViewService no longer accept them. This fails at type-check time, so every test in test/integration is unbuildable — it contradicts the PR test plan's "go vet ./..., go test ./... pass" claim.

Technical details
# Integration fakes missing the new atomic repository methods
## Affected sites
- `services/api/test/integration/task_test.go:600` — `fakeSprintRepoIT.UpdateSprint`; needs `UpdateSprintAtomic`.
- `services/api/test/integration/view_test.go:102` — `fakeViewRepoIT.UpdateView`; needs `UpdateViewAtomic`.
- `services/api/test/integration/document_test.go:84` — `fakeDocRepoIT.UpdateFolder`; needs `UpdateFolderAtomic`.
- `services/api/test/integration/document_test.go:153` — `fakeDocRepoIT.UpdateDocument`; needs `UpdateDocumentAtomic`.
- Usage sites that trigger the failures: `agent_apikey_test.go:67-68` and `:1219-1220`, `attachment_test.go:282-283`, `cache_test.go:61`, `document_test.go:282` (`docsvc.New`), `:283` (`NewActivityService`).
## Required outcome
- `test/integration` compiles again: each fake implements the `*Atomic` methods the interfaces now require (mirroring the updates already made to the fakes in `internal/service/doc`, `internal/service/sprint`, `internal/service/attachment`).
- Run `go vet ./...` / `go test ./...` from `services/api` to confirm.
## Suggested approach (optional)
- The unit fakes are a ready template (e.g. `internal/service/doc/document_service_test.go` `UpdateDocumentAtomic`/`UpdateFolderAtomic`, `internal/service/sprint/sprint_service_test.go` `UpdateSprintAtomic`): load current under the fake's mutex, deep-copy, run `decide`, write back, return the updated entity.

Each loads the current row, runsdecide, then writes back a copy, mirroring the real repos. fakeTaskRepo.UpdateTaskAtomicno longer self-deadlocks — it now reads underRLock, releases beforedecide(which re-enters the repo for parent/type validation), and takes the write lock only for the final store.- Verified green —

The previously flagged compile failure is fixed and no new issues are introduced. The limitations acknowledged in the PR body (race tests not run against pre-fix code; the task cycle walk only locking the updated task's row) remain as described and are out of scope for #550.

- Document folder validation hoisted out of the row lock —
UpdateDocumentnow resolves the target folder andupdatedBybefore opening the atomic transaction, so the document row lock isn't held across those other-connection round trips; the in-callbackfolder.ProjectID == projectIDcheck was replaced by an equivalent pre-transaction check (the callback still rejectsd.ProjectID != projectID). - Folder serialization docs corrected — the
UpdateFolderAtomicdoc comment now states that only updates are serialized by the per-project advisory lock; creates and deletes are not. CompleteSprintcomment clarified — notes that the pre-lockBulkMoveSprintTasksis idempotent, so two concurrent completes are harmless while the status flip stays the serialized step (verified: the move re-runs to zero rows).- Housekeeping — stray blank line removed in
apierr/codes.go.
Verified locally from services/api: go build ./... exits 0, and go test ./internal/service/doc/... ./internal/service/sprint/... ./test/integration/... all pass.

Summary
Fixes #550 and the same class of problem in documents, doc folders, sprints and views: updates read a row without a lock, validated against that stale copy, then wrote it back.
Tasks (#550)
UpdateTasknow routes any save that setsparent_task_idortask_type_idthroughUpdateTaskAtomic, so the own-parent / cycle / Epic-can't-have-parent rules are checked underSELECT … FOR UPDATE. A concurrent "set parent" and "change type to Epic" can no longer both win.UpdateTaskFieldsaddsAND deleted_at IS NULLand returnsErrTaskNotFoundwhen no row is updated, so a save racing a delete gets a clean 404.Documents, folders, sprints, views
UpdateDocumentAtomic,UpdateFolderAtomic,UpdateSprintAtomicandUpdateViewAtomic(replacingUpdateDocument,UpdateFolder,UpdateSprint,UpdateView). Each loads the row under a lock, runs the service's validation in a callback, and writes back in the same transaction.deleted_at, so a save racing a delete can't resurrect the document.UpdateFoldernow rejects moving a folder into its own subtree (newErrFolderCycle→ 400DOC_FOLDER_CYCLE). Folder updates within a project are serialized with a per-project advisory lock so two concurrent moves can't each pass the cycle check.CompleteSprintre-checks "already completed" under the lock;UpdateViewon a missing view now returns not-found instead of success.Tests
TestUpdateFolder_Cycle.services/api/test/e2e/atomic_update_races_test.go): concurrent parent vs Epic type, opposite folder moves, save vs delete on documents, concurrent field patches on documents / sprints / views, concurrent sprint completion, plus the sequential rule checks. The e2e environment now wires the document handler (it was previously nil, so every docs endpoint returned 500).Test plan
