André Roth 8477274bb0 fix(repos): eliminate race conditions by using fresh factory inside task closures
Affected endpoints: apiReposDrop, apiReposPackagesAddDelete,
apiReposPackageFromDir, apiReposCopyPackage, apiReposIncludePackageFromDir,
apiReposEdit, apiReposCreate.

All seven endpoints shared the same architectural flaw as the previously
fixed publish endpoints: operations were performed outside the task lock,
with stale DB state used inside the lock.

Issues Fixed:

1. apiReposDrop - Collections created before task lock
   Problem: snapshotCollection, publishedCollection captured from pre-task
   factory. Concurrent snapshot/published modifications not detected.

   Fix: Create fresh taskCollectionFactory inside task, re-read repo after
   lock acquired, use fresh collections for checks.

2. apiReposPackagesAddDelete - Repo and factory stale before lock
   Problem: repo loaded outside task, collectionFactory created before lock.
   Concurrent add/delete operations both load same pre-task state, last
   write wins, packages lost.

   Fix: Create fresh taskCollectionFactory inside task, re-read repo after
   lock acquired, use fresh factory for all operations.

3. apiReposPackageFromDir - Repo and factory stale before lock
   Problem: repo loaded outside task, collectionFactory created before lock.
   Concurrent file imports both load same pre-task state, last write wins.

   Fix: Create fresh taskCollectionFactory inside task, re-read repo after
   lock acquired, use fresh factory for imports.

4. apiReposCopyPackage - Both repos and factory stale before lock
   Problem: dstRepo and srcRepo loaded outside task, collectionFactory
   created before lock. Concurrent copy operations race on stale state.

   Fix: Create fresh taskCollectionFactory inside task, re-read both repos
   after lock acquired, use fresh factory for all operations.

5. apiReposIncludePackageFromDir - Repo and factory stale before lock
   Problem: repo loaded outside task, collectionFactory created before lock.
   Concurrent .changes file processing races on stale state.

   Fix: Create fresh taskCollectionFactory inside task, use fresh factory
   for import operations.

6. apiReposEdit - No serialization, concurrent modification race
   Problem: Direct update without task locking. Two concurrent renames can
   both pass duplicate check, second overwrites first.

   Fix: Convert to async task. Duplicate check and update now atomic inside
   lock, after fresh load from DB.

7. apiReposCreate - No serialization, TOCTOU on duplicate check
   Problem: Duplicate check outside task lock, add outside lock. Two
   concurrent creates with same name both pass check, second overwrites first.

   Fix: Convert to async task. Duplicate check and add now atomic inside
   lock, after fresh load from DB.

Root cause analysis:

The fundamental issue is the split between pre-task work and task-protected
work. Collections and objects were being loaded before lock acquisition, then
stale copies used inside the lock.

Correct pattern (now applied consistently across all 7 endpoints):

1. HTTP Handler (before task lock):
   - Shallow load for 404 check only
   - Extract resource keys
   - Submit task with resources

2. Task Closure (after lock acquired):
   - Create fresh collectionFactory
   - Fresh load of all objects
   - LoadComplete on fresh copies
   - All mutations on fresh state
   - All checks atomic inside lock
   - Save using fresh collections

This ensures:
- Concurrent operations are serialized by task queue
- No stale DB state used for mutations
- No lost updates from concurrent modifications
- No TOCTOU races on duplicate checks
- No DB handle issues from pre-task factory capture
