Sessions predicted the ids their next creates would get and wrote them into
plan bodies and reference notes before the records existed. The database
never collides; the sequence is shared by every session and user, so any
concurrent create took the guessed numbers and the references pointed at
someone else's records.
- create_records (new MCP tool) and start_planning(body=, steps=) create
their records in ONE transaction: insert, flush for the real ids, rewrite
{{ref:N}} / {{ref:milestone}} placeholders as #id "title", commit. No
prediction, no waiting, no stub records left behind when a batch fails.
Ids need not be consecutive and nothing depends on it.
- Every MCP create/update of a note, task or milestone refuses a #N sitting
just above the highest assigned id (within 50): that can only be a guess.
Refusal, not warning. Numbers far above the max (PRs, forge issues) pass.
- notes.build_note splits validation out of create_note so the batch
validates records exactly as a single create does.
- writing-plans and using-scribe say to pass steps up front and never write
an unassigned id; plugin version minted.
Integration test runs six concurrent batches and checks each resolves its
placeholders to its own records, and that a failing batch writes nothing.
