Description

Doing a tree put while simultaneously put-ing something else to the same total tree path results in an object with _id keys in it rather than either the object or the link. The object cannot be deleted because the graph is invalid and causes permissions handler to say that the user who made it does not have permission to it.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing simultaneous puts to the same tree path against the OADA server, then trace the tree-versus-link handling and permissions failure. Done means concurrent puts leave a valid object or link that can be deleted and does not trigger an incorrect permission error.
