F4 [critical] — the anti-join `DELETE … WHERE NOT EXISTS(child)` was still racy
under Postgres READ COMMITTED: a reply INSERT holds FOR KEY SHARE on the parent;
the DELETE's start snapshot doesn't see the uncommitted child (NOT EXISTS true),
blocks on the reply's lock, and when the reply commits the parent was only LOCKED
(not modified) so EvalPlanQual does NOT re-check → the DELETE proceeds and CASCADE
destroys the just-committed reply. Replaced with a transaction: SELECT the parent
FOR UPDATE (conflicts with the reply's FOR KEY SHARE → serializes the concurrent
reply), re-check for a child with a FRESH statement in the same tx (a new RC
snapshot sees a just-committed reply), delete only if still childless (return 1)
else return 0 (caller resolves). The FOR UPDATE lock is held to end-of-tx so no
reply can insert between the re-check and the delete. Signature unchanged, so the
service + its mocked unit tests are untouched; docstrings updated.
F5 [warning] — the client Dismiss button was gated only on canComment, but the
server now gates dismiss on owner-or-space-admin, so a non-owner non-admin saw a
button the server 403s. `canShowDismiss` now also requires
`isOwnerOrAdmin = currentUser?.user?.id === comment.creatorId || userSpaceRole ===
"admin"` (the same gate the comment delete-menu already uses); threaded into both
call sites.
F6 [warning] — added a REAL-DB int-spec
(apps/server/test/integration/comment-delete-if-childless.int-spec.ts, + a
createComment seeder): (a) childless → returns 1, row gone; (b) committed reply →
returns 0, parent+reply survive; (c) CONCURRENCY — a second connection inserts a
reply (FOR KEY SHARE) and commits mid-operation while deleteCommentIfChildless
blocks on FOR UPDATE → asserts it returns 0 and both rows survive (a blind
anti-join would lose the reply here). Ran against live Postgres — 3/3 pass.
server tsc clean; comment jest 53 + int-spec 3 (live Postgres) pass. client tsc
clean; comment vitest 56 pass.
