Bug Report

Feature Area: Projects and Resources — Resource Registry

Severity: High (data integrity issue — orphaned project-resource links after resource deletion)

What Was Tested

The agents resource remove command was tested with a resource that was linked to a project.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec states (line 10953-10954):

Cascading Deletion: 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.

The command should:

  1. Check if the resource is linked to any project
  2. If linked, refuse deletion with an error message like: "Resource 'local/api-repo' is linked to project(s): local/api-service. Use 'agents project unlink-resource' first."

Actual Behavior

The resource remove command only checks for DAG edges (parent/child resource relationships) but does NOT check for project-resource links. A resource linked to a project is silently deleted, leaving orphaned links in the project_resource_links table.

Verified by runtime test:

$ agents resource add fs-mount local/test-mount --path /tmp
Added resource: local/test-mount (id: 01KNQVGRSKV9W6T5NZ39K93BSY)

$ agents project link-resource local/my-webapp local/test-mount
✓ Linked resource 'local/test-mount' to project 'local/my-webapp'.

$ agents resource remove --yes local/test-mount
Removed resource: local/test-mount   # Should have FAILED

The resource was deleted even though it was linked to local/my-webapp.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py, lines 1376-1414 — the resource_remove function checks ResourceEdgeModel for DAG edges but never queries ProjectResourceLinkModel (or equivalent) for project links.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. agents resource add git-checkout local/api-repo --path /repos/api
  2. agents project create local/my-project
  3. agents project link-resource local/my-project local/api-repo
  4. agents resource remove --yes local/api-repo
  5. Observe: resource is deleted without error (expected: error requiring unlink first)
