# EPOD: stale lock after a write (one case, not reproduced) 2026-10-05 15:09, run 200102 (task G1034, class `Z4AEE0SQ_STORAGE_PRICER`, two trajectory workers and three generators running on A4H, one MCP session each): 1. `sap_push_source` main, `sap_push_source includeType=testclasses` (twice, the second with two activation warnings), `sap_check_object`, `sap_run_unit_test` all returned success. 2. `sap_push_element` then failed: `[LOCK] The object ... could not be locked. HTTP 403, ExceptionResourceNoAccess. Server message: User KESELI is currently editing Z4AEE0SQ_STORAGE_PRICER.` Twice, minutes apart. 3. Teardown (ADT deletion API, after the MCP session was closed) failed: `You are already editing ...`. The lock stayed until it was deleted in SM12 (2026-10-05 evening). So a lock was left behind by an earlier call of the same run and it did not end with the MCP session. The other worker's `sap_run_unit_test` started 0.64 s after the second testclasses write (another session's call during a write). Not reproduced (A4H, probe objects, 2026-10-05): 25 write cycles alone; 60 write cycles overlapping 2690 unit test calls of a second session; 40 cycles of testclasses write + `sap_check_object` (ATC, unit tests, coverage) + `sap_object_members` + second testclasses write + `push_element`, with a second session running `sap_check_object`; `push_element` on a method of the test class (returns "lives in the testclasses include", no lock). Frequency: 1 in about 90 trajectory runs. Wish for EPOD: release the lock in a `finally` path of every write tool, also after a failed or warned activation, and release all locks of a session when the MCP session ends.
