OrgHandler.Import was non-idempotent — every call INSERTed a fresh row
for every workspace in the tree, regardless of whether matching
workspaces already existed. Calling /org/import twice with the same
template duplicated the entire tree.
This was the bigger leak source than TeamHandler.Expand (deleted in
PR #2856). tenant-hongming accumulated 72 distinct child workspaces
in 4 days entirely from repeated org-template spawns of the same
template — the (tier × runtime) matrix in the audit data was the
template's static shape, multiplied by spawn count.
Fix: route through a new lookupExistingChild helper before INSERT.
Skip-if-exists semantics by default:
- Match on (parent_id, name) using `IS NOT DISTINCT FROM` so NULL
parents (root workspaces) are included.
- Ignore status='removed' rows so collapsed teams or deleted
workspaces don't block re-import.
- Recursion still runs on the existing id so partial-match templates
(parent exists, some children missing) backfill correctly instead
of either no-op'ing the whole subtree or duplicating the existing
children.
- Result entries for skipped nodes carry skipped:true so callers
(canvas Import preflight modal) can surface "5 of 7 already
existed, 2 created."
The recursion that walked ws.Children is extracted into
recurseChildrenForImport so both the create-path and the skip-path
share one implementation — no duplicated grid math, no two paths to
keep in sync.
Note: replace_if_exists semantics (re-roll: stop+delete old, create
new) are deferred. Skip-if-exists alone closes the leak; re-roll is
a later UX decision for the canvas Import preflight modal.
Tests:
- 4 sqlmock cases on lookupExistingChild: not-found, found,
nil-parent (the IS NOT DISTINCT FROM NULL trick), DB-error
propagates (must fail fast — silent fallback to INSERT is the
failure mode the helper exists to prevent).
- 1 source-level AST gate (per memory feedback_behavior_based_ast_gates.md):
pins that h.lookupExistingChild( appears BEFORE INSERT INTO workspaces
in org_import.go. If a future refactor reintroduces the un-checked
INSERT, the gate fails. Verified load-bearing by removing the call —
build fails (helper symbol gone).
go vet ./... clean. go test ./internal/handlers/ -count 1 — all green
(4.2s, no regression on existing OrgImport / Provision / Team tests).
