Problem

The collections create endpoint has incomplete validation and unused request fields:

  • `collection_type` field in `CreateCollectionRequest` schema is accepted but never used by the endpoint handler
  • No validation for duplicate collection slugs in the same folder
  • Unclear behavior when creating a collection with a slug that already exists (silently overwrites? returns error?)

    • Solution

  • Either use `collection_type` in the collection metadata (e.g., `metadata.type`) or remove it from the request schema
  • Add slug uniqueness validation in the endpoint
  • Return 409 Conflict if a collection with the same slug already exists in the folder
  • Document the behavior in API docs

    • Success Criteria

  • `collection_type` is either used in metadata or removed from schema (consistency)
  • Duplicate slug detection and validation implemented
  • 409 Conflict returned for slug collisions
  • Endpoint behavior documented
