Description

Original report

This is the response in the 400 error details:
{"errors":[{"type":4,"key":"24f593744a4c4c7c9e3d21b43df3dff0","table":"contentnode","rev":79,"target":"288b9bc02d94455aaf639cd1dd30eece","position":"last-child","errors":["[ErrorDetail(string='Specified node does not exist', code='invalid')]"]}]}

I think this might have happened when I tried creating and then deleting a topic, and then emptying the trash. (Looks like the actual error is a move due to the position value being present?) I received no notifications in the UI and just happened to notice this when checking the Network tab.

Research direction

Start at the /api/sync entry point and reproduce the reported sequence of creating and deleting a topic, then emptying the trash. Trace the 400 response containing “Specified node does not exist”; done means this scenario no longer produces an unexpected sync error and its failure behavior is covered appropriately.
