Bug Report

Feature Area: projects-resources
Severity: Critical — data integrity violation
Milestone: v3.0.0+

What Was Tested

agents resource remove command behavior when a resource is linked to a project.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per docs/specification.md (line 10954):

"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 via ProjectResourceLinkModel
  2. If linked, refuse deletion with a clear error message
  3. Only proceed if no project links exist

Actual Behavior (from code analysis)

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py lines 1384–1398, the implementation only checks for DAG edges (parent/child resource relationships), NOT for project links:

# Check for edges
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(...)
    raise typer.Abort()

There is no check against ProjectResourceLinkModel. A resource that is linked to a project but has no DAG edges (e.g., a freshly registered git-checkout before auto-discovery) can be deleted while still linked to a project. This leaves dangling resource_id references in ns_project_resource_links.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py, lines 1376–1414 (resource_remove function)
  • Missing check against ProjectResourceLinkModel (see src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py, ProjectResourceLinkRepository.list_links)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Register a resource: agents resource add git-checkout local/my-repo --path /tmp
  2. Create a project: agents project create local/my-project
  3. Link the resource: agents project link-resource local/my-project local/my-repo
  4. Remove the resource: agents resource remove --yes local/my-repo
  5. Expected: Error "Resource is linked to project 'local/my-project'. Use agents project unlink-resource first."
  6. Actual: Resource is deleted, leaving a dangling reference in the project's linked_resources

Fix Required

Add a project link check before deletion in resource_remove():

# Check for project links
from cleveragents.infrastructure.database.models import ProjectResourceLinkModel
link_count = session.query(ProjectResourceLinkModel).filter_by(
    resource_id=res.resource_id
).count()
if link_count > 0:
    console.print(
        f"[red]Cannot remove resource '{res.name or res.resource_id}': "
        f"linked to {link_count} project(s). Use 'agents project unlink-resource' first.[/red]"
    )
    raise typer.Abort()

## Bug Report **Feature Area**: projects-resources **Severity**: Critical — data integrity violation **Milestone**: v3.0.0+ ### What Was Tested `agents resource remove` command behavior when a resource is linked to a project. ### Expected Behavior (from spec) Per `docs/specification.md` (line 10954): > "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 via `ProjectResourceLinkModel` 2. If linked, refuse deletion with a clear error message 3. Only proceed if no project links exist ### Actual Behavior (from code analysis) In `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py` lines 1384–1398, the implementation only checks for **DAG edges** (parent/child resource relationships), NOT for project links: ```python # Check for edges 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(...) raise typer.Abort() ``` There is **no check** against `ProjectResourceLinkModel`. A resource that is linked to a project but has no DAG edges (e.g., a freshly registered `git-checkout` before auto-discovery) can be deleted while still linked to a project. This leaves dangling `resource_id` references in `ns_project_resource_links`. ### Code Location - `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py`, lines 1376–1414 (`resource_remove` function) - Missing check against `ProjectResourceLinkModel` (see `src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py`, `ProjectResourceLinkRepository.list_links`) ### Steps to Reproduce 1.

Remove the resource: `agents resource remove --yes local/my-repo` 5. **Expected**: Error "Resource is linked to project 'local/my-project'. Use `agents project unlink-resource` first." 6. **Actual**: Resource is deleted, leaving a dangling reference in the project's linked_resources ### Fix Required Add a project link check before deletion in `resource_remove()`: ```python # Check for project links from cleveragents.infrastructure.database.models import ProjectResourceLinkModel link_count = session.query(ProjectResourceLinkModel).filter_by( resource_id=res.resource_id ).count() if link_count > 0: console.print( f"[red]Cannot remove resource '{res.name or res.resource_id}': " f"linked to {link_count} project(s). Use 'agents project unlink-resource' first.[/red]" ) raise typer.Abort() ``` --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: UAT Testing | Agent: uat-tester

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High — (adjusting from Critical) agents resource remove allows deletion of resources that are linked to projects. This can cause orphaned project-resource links and data integrity issues, but the impact is limited to explicit user action.
  • Milestone: v3.2.0 — resource management is a core v3.2.0 feature
  • Story Points: 2 — S — requires adding a check for project links before allowing deletion
  • MoSCoW: Must Have — referential integrity for resource-project links must be enforced. Allowing deletion of linked resources violates the data model.
  • Parent Epic: Needs linking to the resources epic
