Backwards Compatibility Tests need this fix: #5085 |
The API has inconsistent case sensitivity behavior across resources due to historical schema choices: some name columns use citext (case-insensitive) while others use plain varchar (case-sensitive). This was completely undocumented, causing confusion for API consumers. Add (case-insensitive) or (case-sensitive) annotations to: - Create endpoint name parameters, including uniqueness scope - List endpoint name filter parameters - Cross-resource name filters (e.g. service_broker_names) Case-insensitive: apps, organizations, spaces, domains, isolation segments, organization quotas, service plans, service offerings, tasks Case-sensitive: service instances, buildpacks, stacks, security groups, service brokers, space quotas, service credential bindings Also remove the misspelled 'case_insenstive' option from three migrations (stacks, lockings, frameworks). The typo meant the option was silently ignored, so these columns were always case-sensitive. Removing the dead option makes the code reflect actual behavior.

The API has inconsistent case sensitivity behavior across resources due to historical schema choices: some name columns use
citext(case-insensitive) while others use plainvarchar(case-sensitive). This was completely undocumented, causing confusion for API consumers.Add (case-insensitive) or (case-sensitive) annotations to:
service_broker_names)Case-insensitive: apps, organizations, spaces, domains, isolation segments, organization quotas, service plans, service offerings, tasks
Case-sensitive: service instances, buildpacks, stacks, security groups, service brokers, space quotas, service credential bindings
Also remove the misspelled 'case_insenstive' option from three migrations (stacks, lockings, frameworks). The typo meant the option was silently ignored, so these columns were always case-sensitive. Removing the dead option makes the code reflect actual behavior.
