fix: block duplicate resident IDs when editing a resident (EN-116) - #1287
No business logic exists within the database layer
DB migrations (if any) are backward-compatible and online-safe (none in this PR)
Description of the change
Added a fix for when editing a resident and during the bulk import because it never checked the Resident ID against other residents, so two residents could end up with the same ID.

Bug Fixes
Resident IDs that differ only by capitalization or surrounding spaces are now treated as duplicates.
Creating or updating a resident with an ID already in use returns a clear conflict message, shown next to the ID field.
Residents can keep their existing ID, including changing its capitalization, without triggering a duplicate warning.
Resident ID checks now ignore case in CSV batch validation and database lookups. Create and update requests return HTTP 409 when an ID is already in use. The resident forms display the conflict message on the ID field.
Changes: Resident ID uniqueness

Summary
Resident ID matching backend/src/database/users.go, backend/src/csv.go
Database lookups trim surrounding spaces and ignore case. CSV batch duplicate checks ignore case.
Create and update conflicts backend/src/handlers/user_handler.go, backend/tests/integration/users_test.go
Create and update handlers return HTTP 409 for duplicate resident IDs. Integration tests cover duplicate IDs, unchanged IDs, and unused IDs.
Resident form errors frontend/src/components/residents/AddResidentDialog.tsx, frontend/src/components/residents/ResidentDialogs.tsx
Create and edit forms display HTTP 409 messages as errors on the resident ID field.
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 9faf5
The change blocks duplicate resident IDs in the single-create and edit forms and shows a clear conflict message. Duplicates can still be saved by concurrent requests or through the bulk-create commit step, because nothing enforces uniqueness at the database level. Decide whether to accept this gap or add a normalized uniqueness rule, after resolving existing duplicate data, before merging.

Explanation
The title names the main change: blocking duplicate resident IDs when editing a resident. The changeset adds an existence check to the update handler, returns HTTP 409 on conflict, and shows the error in the frontend edit dialog. The title does not mention the bulk-import duplicate check (the csv.go change) or the case-insensitive matching, but it still covers the primary point.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem: resident edits and bulk imports never checked Resident IDs against other residents. It names the linked issue EN-116 and includes screenshots of the edit dialog and the bulk-import error. It relates directly to the changeset.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 6 files.
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Reject duplicate resident IDs before CreateUsersBulk commits rows.
handleBulkCreate maps client-supplied ResidentID values to DocID and passes them to CreateUsersBulk without a check. CreateUsersBulk inserts every row without checking doc_id. The doc_id column has no unique constraint. The model tag in backend/src/models/users.go:67 has no unique, and migration 00042 creates only the non-unique index idx_users_doc_id.
As a result, a bulk-create request can commit a resident ID that another user already has. This can happen when the ID is claimed after the upload step validated it. A single request can also commit two rows with the same ID.
A correct fix needs a database-level rule, not only a pre-insert check. A check inside the transaction still leaves a window for concurrent requests. Existing duplicate doc_id values must be identified and resolved before a unique index on the normalized value can be created. Conflicts should return a 409 response, not a generic database error.

Review comment at @backend/src/handlers/user_handler.go at line 822:
Update the bulk-create flow around handleBulkCreate and CreateUsersBulk to
enforce database-level uniqueness for the normalized doc_id, rather than relying
on a pre-insert check; identify and resolve existing duplicate values before
adding the unique constraint. Handle uniqueness conflicts as HTTP 409 responses
while preserving other database error handling.

- Line 300: Replace the read-then-write check around ResidentIDExists with
database-backed uniqueness or another mechanism that serializes every
resident-ID writer, including concurrent creates and updates. Before enforcing
uniqueness on normalized doc_id values, account for existing duplicates; map
enforcement failures to HTTP 409.
