Closes #240. Program #58.

Problem

AspectFacetValueResolver reads a facet value by its ID, or by its camelCase form when the payload has no such key. That fallback is how typed aspects are stored (Title → title). An aspect that declares both Name and name is therefore ambiguous: both facets read whichever of the two keys is stored. This affects reads, queries and index projections. #236 made the Studio form keep each facet on its own key, but the server-side lookup stayed ambiguous.

Change

• The check: a new AddIdCaseCollisions step in FacetMetadataValidator. Two facets of one aspect whose IDs camelCase to the same string are refused with the new diagnostic code facet-metadata-id-case-collision, reported once for each facet in the pair.
• One camelCase rule: the step reuses AspectFacetValueResolver.ToCamelCase (now internal), so registration and lookup can't drift apart.
• Coverage: every registration path already runs this validator, so no store changed. That covers in-memory and relational, definitions and shared aspects, Register and RegisterIfLatest, inline, shared and typed aspects.
• Stored data is unaffected: definitions that are already stored or imported keep loading, and their resources stay readable and updatable. Only registering a new version is refused, as Identifiers: reject leading and trailing whitespace in core #231 did for padded identifiers.
• No mapping changes: Aster.AspNetCore and Aster.Elsa map facet-metadata diagnostics generically.
• Docs: the rule is documented where facet IDs are described: the core README, the wiki (concepts, typed aspects, endpoints), an amendment to ADR 0002, and the Elsa Studio README.

Tests

• New file test/Aster.Tests/Persistence/FacetIdCaseCollisionStoreTests.cs, run on in-memory, SQLite, Postgres and SQL Server:
  • Inline aspect, shared aspect, and typed aspect with Name/name: refused on every registration path.
  • Name+Title, Name+NAME, and Name/name in different aspects: accepted.
  • A definition with colliding IDs seeded through the import path (bypassing registration) still loads, and its resources are readable and updatable. Registering a new version is refused.
• With main's validator, 16 of the 20 runs fail. The 4 that pass are the "accepted" cases, which pass either way.
• Aster.Tests: 1957/1957 on net8.0, net9.0 and net10.0.
• The Release build shows one CS8602 warning in Aster.Elsa.Agents.Tests (introduced in Elsa agents: keep references to deleted agents saveable; refuse saves to deleted agents #235). It is fixed in Aster.AspNetCore: decode escaped IDs in route values #241.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added validation that rejects facet IDs within the same aspect when they differ only by the first letter’s case.
  • Added the facet-metadata-id-case-collision diagnostic for each conflicting facet.
  • Existing definitions with such collisions remain loadable, readable, and updatable; new versions require renamed facets.

• Documentation

  • Updated facet lookup, registration, and HTTP error documentation to describe case-collision behavior and camel-case fallback.

📝 Walkthrough

Facet metadata validation now rejects IDs within one aspect that differ only by the case of the first character. The validator reports a diagnostic for each conflicting facet. Tests cover registration rejection and confirm that existing definitions and their resources remain loadable and updatable.

Changes: Facet collision validation

Collision diagnostic and validation src/core/Aster.Core/Models/Definitions/FacetMetadataDiagnostics.cs, src/core/Aster.Core/PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt, src/core/Aster.Core/Services/AspectFacetValueResolver.cs, src/core/Aster.Core/Services/FacetMetadataValidator.cs	Added the facet-metadata-id-case-collision diagnostic. The validator groups distinct, non-empty facet IDs by their camel-case form and reports each ID in a collision group.

Documentation describes the validation rule and diagnostic.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #240 requires registration-time rejection of an aspect containing Name and name, with a facet-metadata diagnostic, while existing definitions remain loadable. FacetMetadataValidator.AddIdCaseCollisions groups facet IDs with the shared AspectFacetValueResolver.ToCamelCase rule and emits facet-metadata-id-case-collision for each conflicting facet. The tests cover inline, shared, typed, in-memory, and relational registration paths. Import tests confirm that legacy colliding definitions load and that their resources remain readable and updatable.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #240. The diagnostic constant, resolver visibility change, validator logic, provider tests, API documentation, ADR, wiki updates, and Studio documentation support the registration rule or its legacy-data behavior. The summary reports no unrelated mapping changes or unrelated implementation changes.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 14.29% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 14 functions across 4 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Add assertions for both legacy facet values.

The fixture contains distinct Name and name values, but the test only checks that the read is non-null and that the update reaches version 2. A regression that drops or merges either value can pass these assertions. Assert both values after the read and after the update.

Nitpick from review 5606561017 (assert both legacy Name/name values): leaving as is. The legacy definition stores both as exact keys, so the read never hits the camelCase fallback this PR is about. The test exists to show that legacy definitions load and stay updatable while new registrations are refused, and it does. I'll add the extra value asserts if this file is touched again.
