Summary

PR #956 added TestResolveInsideRoot_DotDotWithIntermediate which panics at line 53.

Root cause

Test calls err.Error() without nil-check. Production resolveInsideRoot returns result for a/b/../../c (no error) but test expects error.

Error

panic: invalid memory address (nil pointer dereference) at org_helpers_security_test.go:53

Verified at SHA origin/main

Fix needed

Either fix resolveInsideRoot to return error for a/b/../../c, or fix test to use t.Fatalf when err==nil

[triage-agent] Triage — 2026-05-14 ~06:00Z

CONFIRMED — this is a real regression from PR #956 which merged at ~05:00Z.

Analysis

PR #956 added TestResolveInsideRoot_DotDotWithIntermediate with incorrect assumptions:

  • The test expects resolveInsideRoot("/root", "a/b/../../c") to return an error
  • The production resolveInsideRoot does not return an error for this input — it resolves to a safe path under /root
  • The test calls err.Error() at line 53 without nil-checking, causing a panic

Gate 1 (CI) impact: This panic would fail the Handlers Postgres Integration check on any PR that touches org_helpers.go or its tests.

Fix

The test needs one of two corrections:

  1. Preferred: Change err.Error() to t.Fatalf("expected nil error, got %v", err) so the test correctly fails with a clear message instead of panicking
  2. Change the test expectation to match production behavior

Classification

  • Tier: high (test panic blocks CI for any org_helpers.go change)
  • No regression label exists in repo — manual label creation needed
  • Assigned: unassigned — escalating to PM for routing to engineer

Fix submitted: PR #970 (fix/org-helpers-test-panic → main)

Root cause confirmed: six resolveInsideRoot tests used t.Errorf/t.Error in the nil-error branch, then continued to err.Error() — panic on nil pointer.

Fix: replaced t.Errorf/t.Error with t.Fatalf/t.Fatal in the nil-error branch across all six affected tests. CI running at #970.
