Experiment: Duplicate Batch Re-upload

Date: 2026-06-24 Phase: 24 — Climate Resilience Verification

1. Hypothesis

If I POST the same batchReference twice to /api/v1/sync/batches, I expect the second request to return the existing batch id with only one row in clinical_sync_batches, because batch reference is the idempotency key for gateway sync.

2. Baseline

Test: ClinicalSyncBatchTests.DuplicateBatchReference_ReturnsExisting
Fixture: ApiFixture with GatewayRegistrySeeder and active encounter
Gateway auth: X-Api-Key + X-Gateway-Id

3. Break

dotnet test VigilCareClinicalAPI.Tests \
  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ClinicalSyncBatchTests.DuplicateBatchReference_ReturnsExisting"

The test posts identical ClinicalSyncBatchRequest (same batchReference) twice.

4. Observe

First POST: HTTP 201 Created, returns batchId
Second POST: returns same batchId as first response
Database: exactly 1 row in clinical_sync_batches for that batchReference
Test result: Passed (702 ms)

5. Fix / Outcome

Bug found? no
Fix applied: no fix needed — by design

6. Verify
