Follow-up to #29, which fixed the org-membership check that was locking users out of Cluster Bot's "Hybrid Platforms" GCP-resource requests (OCPCRT-641).

While fixing that, two more defects surfaced, both with the same root cause: entity names are not unique across hierarchy types (e.g. a team and a team_group can both be named "Application Platform").

#29 fixed the upward walk; this PR fixes the two remaining places that keyed entities by name alone:

  • Validate an explicitly-requested entity type against its own lookup
  • Fix GetDescendantsTree for entities sharing a name

The downward tree builder had the same root cause in two spots:

  • the children map was keyed by parent name only, merging the children of different same-named parents into one bucket; and
  • the recursion's visited set was keyed by name only, so a same-named descendant was treated as already-visited and returned no children.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed hierarchy path resolution for entities that share a name but have different types.
    • Corrected descendant tree generation so same-named teams and team groups remain distinct.
    • Improved organization results to preserve distinct same-named entities.
    • Improved traversal and cycle detection across nested hierarchy relationships.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for name collisions in organization results, hierarchy paths, descendant trees, and asynchronous operations.

GetHierarchyPath validated an explicitly-requested entity type via
getEntityType, which scans lookups in a fixed order and returns only the
first-matching type for a name. When a team and a team_group shared a
name, GetHierarchyPath(name, "team_group") was rejected and returned an
empty path even though the team_group existed — the same "names are not
unique across types" root cause as the primary fix, on the type-
validation half of the function.

Fix (Go): add an entityExists(name, type) helper that checks the
type-specific lookup, and use it to validate an explicitly-supplied
type. Name inference via getEntityType is kept only for the empty-type
case. This aligns Go with the Python implementation, which already
validated via _get_entity_by_type; no Python production change is needed.

Tests: extend the name-collision case in both languages with the
reciprocal team_group lookup, asserting it resolves to the org. The Go
assertion fails on the pre-fix code. API parity harness still reports
identical Go/Python output.

The downward tree builder had the same "names are not unique across
types" root cause in two places. The children map was keyed by parent
name only, so children of same-named entities of different types (e.g. a
team and a team_group both named "shared") were merged into one bucket.
The recursion's visited set was likewise keyed by name only, so a
same-named descendant was treated as already-visited and returned no
children. Together these produced a structurally wrong tree.

Fix: key both the children map and the visited set by (name, type) in
both implementations — Go reuses the comparable HierarchyPathEntry as
the key; Python uses a (name, type) tuple.

Tests: add a name-collision case to the descendants tests in both
languages (org -> team_group "shared" -> team "shared" -> leaf),
asserting each level keeps its own single child. Both fail on the
pre-fix code. API parity harness still reports identical Go/Python
output.

Walkthrough

Go and Python hierarchy traversal now identify entities by both name and type. Hierarchy paths, descendant trees, and user organization results preserve same-named team and team_group entities. Regression tests cover synchronous and asynchronous implementations.

Changes

Typed hierarchy collision handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Go typed hierarchy traversal
go/service.go, go/hierarchy_test.go, go/organization_test.go
Go validation, deduplication, descendant lookup, and cycle tracking use (name, type) keys. Tests cover paths, descendant trees, and organization results.
Python synchronous typed traversal
python/orgdatacore/_service.py, python/tests/test_hierarchy.py, python/tests/test_organization.py
Synchronous hierarchy paths, descendant trees, and organization aggregation preserve same-named entities with different types.
Python asynchronous typed traversal
python/orgdatacore/_async.py, python/tests/test_async_service.py
Asynchronous traversal and organization aggregation use typed keys. Tests cover hierarchy paths, descendant trees, and organization results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aa5ac

Mixed-case hierarchy type values can still cause valid descendants to be omitted and can affect cycle detection. The change is localized and otherwise mergeable, but type normalization should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

/hold

addressing CodeRabbit's findings

@openshift-ci openshift-ci Bot added the do-not-merge/hold Indicates that a PR should not merge because someone has issued a /hold command. label Sep 1, 2026
The public AsyncService in _async.py is a full duplicate of the sync
Service and was never updated by openshift-eng#29 or the preceding two commits, so it
still carried the "names are not unique across types" root cause in two
places:

- _get_hierarchy_path keyed its visited set by name only. This is the
  primary openshift-eng#29 bug itself, still live in the async client: the upward walk
  stops at a team whose name collides with its parent team_group and
  never reaches the org, so async is_employee_in_org wrongly denies org
  membership (the original clusterbot "Hybrid Platforms" symptom).
- get_descendants_tree keyed both its children map and visited set by
  name only, merging same-named entities' children and cutting the
  recursion short, producing a structurally wrong tree.

Fix: key visited and the children map by (name, type), mirroring the
already-fixed sync Service line for line.

Tests: add name-collision cases for both async methods; both fail on the
pre-fix code and pass after. Full suite, ruff, mypy --strict, and the
Go/Python parity harness all pass. This is Python-only (Go has no async
twin), so parity is unaffected.

GetUserOrganizations (and its helper addHierarchyPathItems) deduped the
returned entities with a set keyed by name only. Because names are not
unique across types, a legitimately distinct entity was dropped whenever
an earlier one shared its name -- e.g. a user in team "shared" whose
hierarchy also contains team_group "shared" would get the team_group
silently omitted from the result. Same root cause as the hierarchy-path
and descendants-tree fixes; lower impact (an entry is missing rather than
membership being denied), but the same family of bug.

Fix: key the dedup set by (name, type) in all three implementations --
Go Service, Python Service, and the public async AsyncService (Go reuses
the comparable HierarchyPathEntry; Python uses a (name, type) tuple).

Tests: add a name-collision case to the user-organizations tests in Go,
Python sync, and Python async (team "shared" -> team_group "shared" ->
org "acme"), asserting all three entities appear with their own type.
All fail on the pre-fix code. Full suites, ruff, mypy --strict, and the
Go/Python parity harness pass.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize every type component before using it in a typed key.

ParentInfo.type is a free-form string, but descendant lookup uses canonical lowercase types. A value such as "TEAM_GROUP" creates a child-map key that cannot match ("shared", "team_group"). The descendant is then omitted. The async hierarchy cycle check has the same case-sensitivity problem for caller-supplied types.

  • python/orgdatacore/_async.py#L628-L629: use info.parent.type.lower() in the child-map key.
  • python/orgdatacore/_async.py#L544-L551: normalize entity_type and parent.type before checking or adding visited.
