Description

If a caller is racing a request to create a silo group (which currently could happen during a SAML+JIT login, or when a silo is created) and a request to delete a silo, depending on the ordering of DB queries, Nexus could create a silo group after the silo had been deleted, and return it, instead of returning a 404. There's nothing in the silo group ensure query that checks if the parent silo is undeleted.

Research direction

Start at the silo group ensure query described in the issue, then trace the SAML+JIT login and silo-creation paths that can race with silo deletion. Verify the ordering that creates a group after its parent is deleted, and confirm that the completed behavior returns 404 without creating or returning a silo group.
