Three handlers let the database refuse a delete, and two let it refuse a save. Both arrive in the UI as Request failed (500).

Deletes — the foreign key was already RESTRICT, so the action was refused either way; now it names what is holding the record.

  • Partners had no reference checks at all (the reported bug) — subscriptions, gateway attachments and bus routes.
  • Data sources missed subscriptions reading them.
  • Work groups missed data source statements running on them.

Saves — uniquely indexed columns written without a check.

  • API gateway URL name, on create and update (the reported bug).
  • Subscription category code, on create and update.

Audited against the full FK and unique-index map of the model; the other handlers already had their checks.

Also: the new-subscription page under an API gateway seeds the name from the gateway, overwritten as soon as you type. Deliberately not from the partner in ?partnerId= — an attachment is (gateway, partner, subscription) and one subscription is normally shared by every partner on the gateway.

Verified against the running local API: every case returns 400 with a readable message, and the self-collision case (saving a record without changing its own name) still works.

📝 Summary

Summary

  • Added pre-delete reference checks for partners, data sources, and work groups.
  • Added duplicate URL-name checks for API gateways.
  • Added duplicate code checks for subscription categories.
  • Preserved valid self-collision updates by excluding the current entity.
  • Seeded new gateway subscription names from the partner and gateway names.
  • Prevented automatic name updates after the user edits the name field.

Risk

risk:medium

The changes affect delete and update validation across several resources. Incorrect reference queries could block valid operations or allow constraint failures. The subscription naming change affects client-side form behavior.

Security-sensitive areas

No authentication or authorization logic changed. The validation reduces database error exposure by returning readable validation errors. Error messages include dependent entity names, so confirm that these names are acceptable to expose to API clients.

Test coverage impact

The summary reports local API verification. No automated test changes are listed. Add or confirm tests for:

  • Each protected delete path.
  • Duplicate create and update requests.
  • Valid self-collision updates.
  • Empty and truncated dependent-name lists.
  • Subscription name seeding before and after manual edits.

Deployment and operational concerns

No migration or configuration changes are listed. The changes should deploy with the application.

Rollback requires reverting the application version. Existing database constraints remain unchanged. Monitor validation-error rates after deployment, especially for delete operations and duplicate-name or duplicate-code requests.

Walkthrough

The API now validates gateway URL and subscription-category uniqueness and reports dependent records before deletion. The gateway subscription page loads partner data, seeds a name from partner and gateway names, and preserves manual edits.

Changes

Validation and naming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway URL uniqueness
SW.Bitween.Api/Resources/ApiGateways/*
Gateway creation and update now call GatewayUrlName.EnsureIsFree, which excludes the current gateway during updates and reports duplicate URL names.
Dependency-aware deletion checks
SW.Bitween.Api/Resources/DataSources/Delete.cs, SW.Bitween.Api/Resources/Partners/Delete.cs, SW.Bitween.Api/Resources/WorkGroups/Delete.cs
Delete handlers query dependent subscriptions, gateways, bus routes, and data-source statements. They throw validation errors that list the conflicting names before deletion.
Subscription category code uniqueness
SW.Bitween.Api/Resources/SubscriptionCategories/*
Create and update operations reject codes already used by another subscription category.
Gateway subscription name seeding
SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/pages/api-gateways/NewGatewaySubscriptionPage.tsx
The page loads the selected partner and seeds the subscription name from the partner and gateway names. A touched ref prevents later updates from replacing manual edits.

Concurrent save or delete requests can still return generic server errors instead of the intended readable validation responses, so these database-boundary cases should be handled before merge.

One subscription is normally shared by every partner on the gateway, so
naming it after whichever partner was picked first named a shared pipeline
after one of its callers.

Handle unique-index conflicts at the save boundary.

SubscriptionCategory.Code and ApiGateway.UrlName have database unique indexes. Their create and update handlers run a duplicate query before SaveChangesAsync, so concurrent requests can both pass the query and race at the database. BitweenDbContext.SaveChangesAsync does not translate the resulting DbUpdateException, and no repository-owned mapper handles these exact conflicts.

Map the matching unique-index conflicts to CATEGORY_CODE_TAKEN and GATEWAY_URL_NAME_TAKEN at the save boundary. Retain the pre-checks for the usual case.

Map concurrent foreign-key conflicts at the delete boundary.

Each preflight query runs before the delete operation. A concurrent request can insert a referencing row after the query. The configured restrictive foreign keys can then reject the delete with an unhandled DbUpdateException. BitweenDbContext does not wrap the preflight queries in the save transaction or translate this exception.

Map the relevant conflict to the existing readable validation response:

  • DataSources.Delete: Subscription or BusGateway.
  • Partners.Delete: Subscription, ApiGatewayPartner, or BusGatewayRoute.
  • WorkGroups.Delete: Subscription or DataSourceStatement.

The ApiGatewayPartner conflict must be included for partners. The DataSourceStatement.DataSourceId relationship cascades and is not a blocker for data-source deletion.

On the CodeRabbit review:

  • Bounded dependency reporting — fixed in 063a88a. Caps at 5 names + "and others"; a partner on 40 integrations was building an unreadable message out of 40 fetched rows.
  • Unique-index race and foreign-key race — not taking these. Both are real: two admins could pass the pre-check at the same moment and collide at the database. But the fix is translating DbUpdateException in SaveChangesAsync, which touches every write in the app, and the race's outcome is the 500 that was already there — so it's an unfixed rare case, not a regression. Worth doing on its own, not inside this PR.

Also fixed here: the "Add some" link was shown to users without documents.edit.

Tracked as HAM-79 (low, backlog) so the two race findings aren't lost with this PR.
