…g concurrent edits Two editors open on the same work item silently overwrote each other's description (last write wins), dropping text and images (makeplane#9995). - API: PATCH accepts `base_description_html`, the description the editor started from. Under a row lock it is compared with the stored description (also after sanitization) and a stale save returns 409 DESCRIPTION_CONFLICT with the current description. Requests without the field are unchanged. - Web: DescriptionInput tracks its own base independently of store refetches, serializes autosaves, and shows a dialog to load the latest version or keep editing when a save conflicts. - i18n: conflict dialog strings for all locales. - Clear pre-existing no-shadow warnings in the touched issue operation files.

…ration saves Opening a legacy-format description makes the editor re-save it in the new format. When two people open it at the same moment, the second migration save loses the race and was shown the conflict dialog without typing anything. A conflicting migration save now silently loads the latest version, unless the user typed while it was in flight. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Block autosaves after “Keep editing” leaves a stale draft.
When a save receives DESCRIPTION_CONFLICT, the queued save continues after the handler returns. It still uses the unchanged baseDescription.current, so the API rejects it with another 409. The “Keep editing” handler only closes the dialog. It does not update the base or cancel queued saves.
The English text says to load the latest version to continue and copy anything to keep first. Preserve that stale draft for manual copying, but block and discard queued autosaves until the user loads the latest version. Do not rebase the stale draft automatically.
This avoids repeated conflict dialogs and failed autosaves without overwriting the server description.

Description
Fixes #9995. When two people had the same work item open, the last autosave silently overwrote the other person's description changes, including newly added images (last write wins).
This PR adds an optimistic concurrency check to work item description saves:
PATCH /issues/{id}/accepts an optionalbase_description_html, the description the editor started from. The stored row is locked withselect_for_update, and if the stored description no longer matches the base, the API returns409withcode: "DESCRIPTION_CONFLICT"and the currentdescription_htmlinstead of saving. Requests without the field behave as before, so the public API and other clients are unaffected.updated_atwould also have blocked description saves after unrelated changes such as state or assignees.DescriptionInputsends its base with every save.no-shadowwarnings in the twoissueOperationsfiles I touched, which the pre-commit hook requires.Not covered: the intake (inbox) description editor, which saves through a different endpoint. Live collaborative editing through
apps/live, as pages already have, would be the long-term fix. This PR closes the data-loss window until then.Type of Change
Screenshots and Media
Conflict dialog on the work item page. User B edited a stale copy after user A's autosave:
After "Load latest version". B's editor shows A's paragraph, and B's next edit saves normally:
