Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Adds an ownership transfer flow for teams: a new PUT /:slug/transfer endpoint allows the current owner to hand ownership to another member, and the existing leave-team handler now auto-promotes the oldest remaining member when an owner leaves (instead of returning 403).
Changes:
- New
transferOwnershipZod schema validatingnewOwnerIdas a UUID. - Owner leaving a team now transactionally promotes the oldest non-owner member and removes the leaving owner; if the owner is the sole member, returns 400.
- New
PUT /:slug/transferroute to explicitly transfer ownership to an existing team member, plus updated tests.

Summary
This PR implements the missing team ownership transfer functionality as requested in Issue #382, resolving the existing
//TODOcomment. Importantly, this feature has been achieved entirely through business logic via Prisma transactions, meaning no schema changes were required (complying with maintainer guidelines).Closes #382
Type of Change
What Changed
apps/backend/src/validations/team.validation.ts: Added thetransferOwnershipZod schema to validatenewOwnerId.apps/backend/src/routes/team.ts:DELETE /:slug/members/:userIdendpoint. Now, if the owner leaves, the oldest member is automatically promoted toOWNER. If they are the only member left, it safely returns a 400 error asking them to delete the team.PUT /:slug/transferendpoint so owners can explicitly transfer their ownership to another existing team member.apps/backend/src/__tests__/team.test.ts: Added comprehensive tests for both the explicit transfer route and the auto-promotion logic.How to Test
pnpm -r run testinside the backend directory. The updatedteam.test.tscovers the new routes and auto-promotion scenarios (46/46 tests pass).PUT /api/teams/:slug/transferpassing thenewOwnerIdin the body to verify explicit transfer works.DELETE /api/teams/:slug/members/:ownerId. Verify that the oldest remaining member is promoted toOWNERautomatically.Checklist
pnpm -r run lintpasses).pnpm -r run typecheck).pnpm -r run test).console.logor debug statements left in the code.Screenshots / Recordings
N/A (Backend logic only)
Additional Context
This implementation actively avoids the
onDelete: Restrictschema issue by safely reassigning ownership inside a Prisma$transactionbefore any deletion occurs. It preserves the exact schema while fulfilling all user requirements.
