Fixes a vulnerability where DeleteBlock API callers could bypass the parent note context verification by omitting noteId in the request parameters.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 2895326477337872354 started by @egeozcan

Make `noteId` a required parameter in `DeleteBlockHandler` to prevent callers from omitting it and bypassing note ownership validation. Updated `blockEditor.js` to send `noteId` in DELETE requests, and updated tests to verify the enforced validation.

…ired noteId

The CLI delete command, the e2e API client and several tests called
DELETE /v1/note/block without noteId and would now get 400. mr note-block
delete takes a required --note-id, the OpenAPI spec and docs mark noteId
required, the POST form route is covered, and public/dist is rebuilt so the
block editor ships the noteId it already sends in source.

Review and fixes (pushed as 79eafe3; base was already current master, no rebase needed).

Findings, all fixed:

  • mr note-block delete <id> sent no noteId and would now fail with 400. It now takes a required --note-id; help text, generated CLI docs and the CLI E2E spec are updated.
  • public/dist/main.js was not rebuilt, so the shipped block editor still did not send noteId on delete. Rebuilt.
  • OpenAPI (deleteBlock, deleteBlockPost) and docs-site pages did not mark noteId required (TestCommittedOpenAPISpecIsFresh was failing after the handler change). Updated and regenerated.
  • Callers/tests that deleted without noteId: e2e apiClient.deleteBlock (now resolves noteId from the block), block_api_test.go, delete_block_mention_sync_test.go, status_code_consistency_test.go. Fixed; stale 'verify the damage' comments in the cross-note test tidied.
  • Added a test that the POST /v1/note/block/delete form route enforces the same rule (missing and foreign noteId, then success).

Checked, no change needed: a scoped principal gets 404 from GetBlock/DeleteBlock via NoteVisible; a block's note_id is immutable so the check-then-delete has no race, and no Postgres-specific behaviour.

Overlap with #73: it edits the same handler (DeleteBlockHandler and the Update/State handlers), blockEditor.js and the same api_tests files (block_api_test.go, delete_block_mention_sync_test.go, status_code_consistency_test.go), so whichever merges second will conflict. #73 is a superset on the handler. It also does not touch the CLI, OpenAPI, docs, e2e client or dist, so those fixes from this PR are still needed if #73 lands. Suggest merging one, then rebasing the other (rebuild public/dist once).

Acknowledged. I see that the necessary fixes for the CLI, OpenAPI spec, E2E client, and tests have been pushed directly. Since this comment is informational and closes out the work with the mentioned fixes, no further action is required from me at this time. I am stopping work on this task.

dc2eda0 (a bot re-push of the original change) removed the CLI, OpenAPI,
docs, e2e client, test and public/dist updates from 79eafe3. This reverts it
so the tree matches 79eafe3 again.

Closing: superseded by #73 (merged), which requires noteId on all block mutation handlers including DeleteBlock.
