Persist UI4T canvas layout and harden canvas locking - #1452
Conversation
WalkthroughChangesCanvas nodes now persist React Flow coordinates. A new atomic layout endpoint validates and saves node positions. Canvas lock operations use transactional workspace locking and consistent expiry and ownership checks. All v2 canvas mutations now require an active lock. Cloning and synchronization preserve coordinates. Canvas layout data and serialization
Canvas locking and mutation flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Canvas mutations can release the workspace lock before the full operation finishes, allowing overlapping edits by another request or user and risking conflicting changes or bypassed ownership protection. This should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🧩 Analysis chain
🌐 Web query:
For Django 4.2, confirm when a row lock acquired with QuerySet.select_for_update() is released relative to transaction.atomic() scope.
💡 Result:
In Django 4.2, a row lock acquired with QuerySet.select_for_update is held until the end of the transaction in which it was acquired [1][2]. Because select_for_update must be executed within a transaction, it is typically used inside a transaction.atomic block [2][3]. The lock is released exactly when the transaction concludes (i.e., when the transaction.atomic block exits) [1][2]. If the block finishes successfully, the transaction is committed, and the locks are released as part of that commit process [4][5]. If an exception occurs within the block, the transaction is rolled back, and the locks are similarly released [4][5].

Retain the workspace lock for each complete mutation.
validate_canvas_lock releases the OrgDbt row lock when its inner transaction exits. Most callers then modify database records or dbt project files outside that transaction. A concurrent request can therefore proceed, and another user can acquire the expired lock while the first mutation continues.
Wrap each mutation in an outer transaction.atomic() so the lock remains held through the mutation. Use put_canvas_layout as the pattern. Add tests for concurrent mutations and lease expiry during a mutation.
