What

saveGlobalSettings now sends only the global fields that differ from the saved snapshot, and skips the global PUT when none do. Save no longer carries laddering_enabled: its toggle saves itself on change with a partial PUT (ladder.ts, wireKillSwitchToggle).

Why

A tab opened before another admin's save wrote its cached default term, payment and coverage back on any Save (and the backend then copies a changed global default to every service config). The backend merges omitted keys over the stored row, so a partial body is safe. The setting-ec2-offering-class select is now tracked so it follows the same rule.

How verified

  • Jest tests with the loaded form at term 1, coverage 50: saving only the email sends {notification_email}; term only sends {default_term}; coverage only sends {default_coverage} and the per-service PUTs still carry it (fix(settings): keep propagated default coverage on save and reject an empty field #538); a second save does not resend persisted fields.
  • Tests against the real index.html (real laddering section rendered): an unedited Save sends no global PUT; editing only the email sends only the email; one grace input, a provider toggle, the schedule, the approver toggle and the offering class each get saved.
  • Fail on the pre-fix code; mutations (always send all, drop default_term from the field map, every to some, re-adding the laddering block) are each caught.
  • Full jest, tsc --noEmit and npm run lint pass.

Behaviour change

  • No global PUT when no global field changed (service PUTs still run); verified with the real index.html.
  • Two fix(frontend/settings): stop rewriting a configured default_coverage of 0 to 80 on Save #135 tests no longer expect an unedited save to PUT the coverage; the render assertions still guard the 0 vs 80 case.
  • The global snapshot advances right after the global PUT succeeds, so a later filter validation failure does not leave persisted fields looking unsaved (an undo of such an edit is sent).

Known gaps (not fixed here)

  • Per-service PUTs are unchanged: they still send each card's term, payment and coverage from the form loaded at page open, and the backend mergeServiceConfig overlays enabled, term, payment and coverage unconditionally, so a stale tab can still revert service rows.
  • Multi-element keys (grace_period_days, enabled_providers) are sent whole when any of their inputs changes, and the backend replaces them as a unit, so a stale tab editing one provider's grace period can revert the others.

Refs #539

A tab opened before another admin's save wrote its cached default term,
payment and coverage back on any Save, and the backend then propagated them
to every service config. Build the global PUT body from the fields that
differ from the saved snapshot; the backend keeps omitted keys. Skip the
global PUT when nothing in it changed. Track the offering-class select so
it follows the same rule.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Global settings saves now omit unchanged values from the global PUT payload. The EC2 offering-class field is included in dirty tracking. Tests cover selective saves, coverage behavior, and edits to settings on the real page.

Changes

Global settings save behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and save changed settings
frontend/src/settings.ts
The save logic maps global configuration keys to form fields and omits unchanged keys from the PUT payload. The EC2 offering-class field is now tracked.
Verify selective saves
frontend/src/__tests__/settings.test.ts
Tests verify that unchanged settings are omitted, changed settings are sent selectively, and service coverage writes remain covered. Real-page tests check edits to individual global settings.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6da0

Save now sends only changed global settings, but two problems remain. Editing one provider's grace period or toggle can still revert another admin's change to a sibling value. The saved-state baseline can also drift if Save partially fails or a field is edited while Save is in progress, which causes edits to be re-sent or silently skipped. Resolve these before merging.

…t the multi-field keys

The laddering toggle saves itself on change (ladder.ts), so Save no longer
carries laddering_enabled; it was sent on every Save and reverted another
admin's value. Test against the real index.html that an unedited Save sends
no global PUT and that each multi-field key is still saved. Drop the dead
empty-snapshot guard.

snapshot only for fields submitted in changedGlobal, using those submitted
values rather than rereading the DOM. Ensure later validation failures or edits
made during the request cannot leave persisted fields dirty or mark unsent edits
as saved; locate the snapshot update and snapshotAllFields() flow.
- Line 3549: Update the settings save flow for grace_period_days and
enabled_providers so changing one member cannot overwrite other members with
stale values; use per-member updates or validate a version before replacing
either whole map.

…succeeds

A filter validation failure after a successful global PUT left the saved
fields looking unsaved, so undoing such an edit in the form was never sent
and the stored value stayed.
