Bug Report

Feature Area: Resource registry — agents resource remove
Severity: High
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-worker-resource-registry
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §agents resource remove (lines ~10949–10960)

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py — resource_remove() function (lines ~1345–1428).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec states (line 10954):

Removes a registered resource and all its auto-discovered child resources. A git-checkout resource can have hundreds of child resources (files, directories). This operation fails if the resource is linked to any project — use agents project unlink-resource first.

So the spec requires:

Check if the resource is linked to any project
If linked, fail with an error telling the user to unlink first
Only then proceed with removal (cascading to children)

Actual Behavior

The resource_remove() function in resource.py (lines ~1376–1414) checks for DAG edges (ResourceEdgeModel) but does not check for project links (project_resource_links / ResourceLinkModel):

# resource.py lines ~1384-1398
edge_count: int = (
    session.query(ResourceEdgeModel)
    .filter(
        (ResourceEdgeModel.parent_id == res.resource_id)
        | (ResourceEdgeModel.child_id == res.resource_id)
    )
    .count()
)
if edge_count > 0:
    console.print(
        f"[red]Cannot remove resource '{res.name or res.resource_id}': "
        f"{edge_count} edge(s) still reference it.[/red]"
    )
    raise typer.Abort()

There is no check for project links. A resource linked to a project (via project_resource_links table) can be removed without first unlinking it from the project, leaving dangling project-resource associations.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py — resource_remove() function (lines ~1345–1428)
Missing: check against project_resource_links table (or equivalent service call)
Related issue: #4535 (cascade deletion — separate but related)

Steps to Reproduce

Register a resource: agents resource add git-checkout local/my-repo --path /tmp/repo
Create a project: agents project create local/my-project
Link the resource: agents project link-resource local/my-project local/my-repo
Attempt to remove the resource: agents resource remove --yes local/my-repo
Expected: Error: "Resource 'local/my-repo' is linked to project 'local/my-project'. Use agents project unlink-resource first."
Actual: Resource is removed (or blocked by edge check), but project link is not checked

Impact

Resources linked to projects can be removed without unlinking, leaving dangling project-resource associations
Projects may reference non-existent resources after removal
Violates the spec's safety guarantee that project-linked resources cannot be accidentally removed
