Research direction

Start at MeshWeaver.Blazor.Components.MarkdownEditorView, at the value-binding site behind the “Binding the markdown editor value” log line. Read the linked form fix and the CQRS/content-access and data-binding guidance; check issue #6079 first because it concerns the same binding site. Done means a deleted-during-read node renders as not found and the editor keeps watching for re-creation instead of failing the render.

Description

bug sev:L

What is failing

The portal's MarkdownEditorView treats "the bound node was deleted while I was reading it" as a hard failure at its value-binding site: when the editor's bound node is deleted concurrently with the read, the binding throws (No node found at … the node was deleted, and this read of it ended with the delete) instead of degrading to a not-found/empty state. In the observed case an editor area in memex-cloud failed while bound to a comment node (…/OnePager/_Comment/e99d8732) that was deleted under it — the node no longer exists anywhere in the mesh, consistent with a live delete racing the read.

Probable cause — medium-high confidence

The value binding performs an unguarded node read that can lose a race with a concurrent delete of the bound node. The mesh API itself signals this benignly ("Read the path again if it is re-created"), but the binding has no not-found branch and propagates the exception, failing the render. This is the same defect class the platform already fixed for forms — A form whose record was deleted no longer breaks the page (check whether it is there one way, what it says another, and keep watching for re-creation) — but that pattern was not applied to the markdown editor's value binding. Related evidence: the exception fires at the same log site family as #6079 but is a different failure mode (see Duplicates).

Impact

Minimal so far: a single occurrence on a single portal pod — one editor render failing once during a live delete, self-healing on re-read or re-creation of the node. It will recur whenever a user deletes a node an open editor is bound to, so it is a real defect, but a rare, self-healing edge case rather than an outage.

Duplicates

Not a duplicate, but closely related: Systemorph/MeshWeaver#6079 (and its parent #6074) covers the same MarkdownEditorView binding site failing on permanently deleted nodes via DeliveryFailureException from stale saved views. This incident is distinct: a transient read that raced an in-flight delete (InvalidOperationException), different fingerprint and log-site fold. A shared graceful not-found branch at the binding site would fix both, so whoever picks this up should check #6079 first.

Where to look

  • MeshWeaver.Blazor.Components.MarkdownEditorView — the value-binding site behind the "Binding the markdown editor value in Area {path}" log line: catch the deleted-mid-read InvalidOperationException (or better, check existence before reading, per the form fix) and render a not-found state that keeps watching for re-creation.
  • The engineering rule and prior fix: CQRS and Content Access, Data Binding, and how editors bind nodes: Code, Diff & Markdown Editors.
