Pull request overview
This PR hardens the request-related API routes to enforce state transitions consistent with existing frontend behavior: edits and approve/decline actions are only allowed while a request is pending, and retries are only allowed when a request has failed.
Changes:
- Added 409-guard checks to prevent modifying non-pending requests via
PUT /request/:requestId. - Added 409-guard checks to prevent approve/decline on non-pending requests via
POST /request/:requestId/:status. - Added 409-guard checks to prevent retrying non-failed requests via
POST /request/:requestId/retry, plus unit tests for each guard.

| server/routes/request.ts | Adds state guards (PENDING/FAILED) to reject invalid edits and transitions with 409 responses. |
| server/routes/request.test.ts | Adds unit tests covering the new 409 rejection behavior for edit, status transition, and retry routes. |

- This test asserts only the 409 status. Adding an assertion on the error message (at least that it references the expected "pending" state) would better lock down the API behavior introduced by this PR.
const res = await admin.post(`/request/${approved.id}/decline`);
assert.strictEqual(res.status, 409);
const persisted = await repo.findOneOrFail({ where: { id: approved.id } });
assert.strictEqual(persisted.status, MediaRequestStatus.APPROVED);
});
server/routes/request.test.ts:312
- This test checks the 409 status but not the error message. Since the route now rejects non-FAILED requests with a specific message, consider asserting the response message references the expected "failed" state.
const res = await admin.post(`/request/${pending.id}/retry`);
assert.strictEqual(res.status, 409);
const persisted = await repo.findOneOrFail({ where: { id: pending.id } });
assert.strictEqual(persisted.status, MediaRequestStatus.PENDING);
});

- The route param is typed as
'approve' | 'decline', but at runtime Express can still receive any string (as demonstrated by the/frobnicatetest). Keeping the param typed as a union makes it easier for future changes to accidentally assume invalid values are impossible. Consider typing it asstringand keeping the explicit runtime validation (consistent withserver/routes/issue.ts:327).
requestRoutes.post<{
requestId: string;
status: 'approve' | 'decline';
}>(
server/routes/request.ts:697
- The handler checks
request.statusbefore validatingreq.params.status. This means an invalid status like/frobnicatewould return 409 instead of 400 when the request isn't pending, and it does an unnecessary DB read before rejecting a bad parameter. Validate thestatusparam first, then enforce the pending-only transition.
if (request.status !== MediaRequestStatus.PENDING) {
return next({
status: 409,
message: 'Only pending requests can be approved or declined.',
});
}

Since these 409 errors are new, it would be nice to document them in the API specs.
Edits and approve or decline now require a pending request and retry requires a failed one. The pending verb is gone from the status route since the guard leaves it only able to move a pending request to pending, and an unrecognised status returned 200 while silently changing nothing, so it now returns 400.

But no approval? 🤨 |
Description
A request is only editable while it is pending, and every state other than pending and failed are terminal. The frontend enforces that everywhere: the edit modal only opens from pending-gated triggers in
RequestItem,RequestCard,RequestBlockandRequestButton, approve and decline only render while pending, and retry only renders on a failed request.While working on #3378 I noticed that the API enforces none of it, so PUT will happily rewrite an approved request, approve and decline will move a completed or declined one, and retry sets APPROVED regardless of what the request was before.
This PR adds the three guards the product already implies. PUT and the approve and decline route reject anything that is not currently pending, and retry rejects anything that has not failed, all with 409 and a message naming the state that was expected.
Nothing in the frontend changes. I checked every path that can reach these routes, including the edit then approve flow in the request modals, which is safe because both modals send the PUT before posting the approve, so the request is still pending at each step. The two
modifyRequesthelpers are typed to approve and decline only, so moving a request back to pending is not something the UI can ask for at all.Worth nothing though that blocking transitions out of declined means an accidental decline cannot be undone through the API, since approve on a declined request now returns 409. That is already the case in the UI anyways, where a declined request offers no buttons, so this hardens a gap that already existed.
