Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect. Caution Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement. Our CI and AI review are safeguards, not development tools. If many issues are flagged, rethink your development approach. Invest more effort in planning and design rather than using review cycles to fix low-quality code. |

Pull request overview
This PR hardens _Installation handling in RestWrite.handleInstallation to prevent invalid attempts to clear installationId (via null or { __op: 'Delete' }) from causing a server crash or orphaning an installation row. It aligns “clear” behavior with the existing protection that disallows changing installationId during updates, and adds regression tests for these scenarios.
Changes:
- Add an early guard in
handleInstallationto detectinstallationIdclearing attempts and reject them on update (136) or drop the field on create so the existing “must specify ID” check returns 135. - Add spec coverage for update + create clearing shapes, including a master-key update case.

1313-1316: 💤 Low valueOptional: clarify the create-path comment — error 135 isn't always guaranteed
The comment says the Delete-guard fires "so the existing 135 error fires," but 135 only fires when neither
deviceTokennorauth.installationIdprovides an alternative ID. When another ID is present the create legitimately succeeds. This is the correct behavior, but the comment could mislead a future maintainer into expecting an unconditional 135 rejection.✏️ Suggested comment wording

Current behavior blocks master key editing of installationId so it follows that we should also block it from being nulled, but I do think there are circumstances in which it would be valid to clear an installationId (maintenance etc) |
…lationId
Clearing installationId with null or { __op: 'Delete' } is rejected with
error 136 on update. On create the value is dropped so the existing 135
"must specify ID" guard applies. Other non-string values are rejected by
the type check in handleInstallation with INCORRECT_TYPE.

Issue
installationIdis the_Installationrow's identity: theX-Parse-Installation-Idheader (this.auth.installationId) binds a client request to its row. Parse Server already rejects changing it from one value to another with error 136, but clearing it is not handled.{ installationId: null }on update succeeds and storesnull, orphaning the row. No client sendingX-Parse-Installation-Idcan find it again. This happens with or without the master key.{ installationId: '' }on update passes the type check and, being falsy, skips the existing change guard, so it is stored and orphans the row the same way.{ installationId: { __op: 'Delete' } }on update originally crashed on.toLowerCase()and returned a 500. On currentalphathe type check added in fix: Unauthenticated deletion of installation records via operator injection in device token deduplication (GHSA-cc6h-c8m4-hgrx) #10657 rejects it first withschema mismatch for _Installation.installationId; expected String but got Object(code 111), which describes the payload as malformed rather than as a forbidden change.Approach
All three clearing forms (
null,''and{ __op: 'Delete' }) are detected at the top ofhandleInstallation, before the #10657 type check.installationId may not be changed or cleared in this operation. This applies with the master key too, matching the existing guard against changing the value.deviceTokenor the installation header), the create proceeds with it.installationId(number, array, object) is left to the fix: Unauthenticated deletion of installation records via operator injection in device token deduplication (GHSA-cc6h-c8m4-hgrx) #10657 type check and rejected withINCORRECT_TYPE(111).Setting an
installationIdon a row that has none, and creating a row with onlydeviceToken, are unaffected.Tasks
