Bug Fixes During Testing

1. EF Core Tracking Error (Fixed)

• Issue: SaveUserAsync threw tracking error for AssetType entity
• Fix: Changed init to set for ProfileAsset and IdCardAsset in Person.cs

2. Purchasing Role Backend Validation (Fixed)

• Issue: Backend allowed Purchasing users to manage ALL users, but frontend only shows Contractors
• Fix: Added role validation in 5 endpoints to restrict Purchasing to Contractor users only
• Files modified: GetUserEndpoint.cs, SaveUserEndpoint.cs, RemoveUserEndpoint.cs, SendInvitationEndpoint.cs, SetDefaultUserEndpoint.cs
• New method: Added HasRole(string roleName) to ICurrentUserService and CurrentUserService

3. FK Delete Restrictions (Fixed)

• Issue: Required User FKs in TaskInfo/TaskLog had no OnDelete behavior, defaulting to cascade delete
• Risk: Deleting a user would cascade delete all their tasks - data loss
• Fix: Added OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.Restrict) to prevent user deletion when referenced by tasks
• Files modified:
  • TaskInfoConfiguration.cs - AssigneeUserId, AssignerUserId
  • TaskLogConfiguration.cs - AssigneeUserId, AssignerUserId
  • UserConfiguration.cs - PersonId
• Migration: Applied

4. Zed Tasks Configuration (Fixed)

• Issue: EF: Add Migration task had wrong startup project path (SafetyApp.Api instead of SafetyApp.WebApi)
• Fix: Updated .zed/tasks.json with correct path
