Problem
Currently, da-collab can implicitly create documents in da-admin through the first PUT request. This creates issues when documents are deleted or never existed - we end up recreating them
unintentionally.
Solution
This PR enforces explicit document existence checks at two levels:
1. Authorization Phase
Reject connections to non-existent documents immediately. Previously, 404 responses during the HEAD request were allowed (anticipating document creation). Now they fail fast at the edge.
2. Write Phase
Added
If-Match: *header to all PUT requests. This tells da-admin "only write if document exists" - the server returns 412 if it doesn't.3. Cleanup on Conflict
When we get 412 (document was deleted), we now:
storage.deleteAll()4. Error Propagation
persistence.getnow throws on 404 instead of returning null. This catches the edge case where a document is deleted between authorization and content fetch.Error details are stored in the Yjs document's error map before connections close, so clients receive the error via the sync protocol.
Deployment
The header needs to be recognized and 412 returned when documents don't exist. See adobe/da-admin#187
