fix: resolve 7 bugs across API routes (security, logic, edge cases)#9
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughMultiple API endpoints were updated to enhance authorization enforcement and error handling. Ownership checks (teacherId validation) were added to mutation endpoints. Error responses were standardized to exclude stack traces. Validation logic was improved with explicit Zod result checking, and authentication flow was simplified. Changes

Bothapp/api/assignments/[id]/route.ts(lines 60-63) andapp/api/students/[id]/route.ts(lines 62-65) validate here, and the PR already aligned PUT to return 400 on invalid id — DELETE should match.🛠️ Proposed fix

error.stackin the 500 response body, which the PR description explicitly targets ("grades/route.ts … replace error.stack with a generic message in 500 responses").

95-99: Correct fix for the unvalidated-input bug; minor inconsistency to consider.Using
parsed.datainstead ofbodyinStudent.createprevents callers from injecting unknown fields (e.g.,teacherId,_id) into the document. This is the right fix.One minor inconsistency:
app/api/assignments/route.tsandapp/api/grades/route.tsreturn validation errors withparsed.error.flatten(), while this endpoint returnsz.treeifyError(parsed.error). The two produce different shapes — front-end error handling becomes branchy. Consider standardizing.♻️ Optional alignment with other routes
- if (!parsed.success) return NextResponse.json({ error: z.treeifyError(parsed.error) }, { status: 400 }) + if (!parsed.success) return NextResponse.json({ error: parsed.error.flatten() }, { status: 400 })🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
