SQLite LIKE stops matching at an embedded NUL, so search=Alpha%00x
behaved like 'Alpha' followed by a wildcard and returned rows that do
not contain the whole search text. The shared query validation now
rejects NUL, so the server answers 400 and the client throws before
sending.
The query accepts sort=<column>&order=asc|desc over a fixed allowlist
(saved, name, customer, status, material, dates, thickness, plate and
part counts, made by, comments, file size). Text columns sort with
NOCASE, ties break by id in the same direction so pages partition the
matches, and unknown or numeric sort values and other orders return 400.
The client sends the sort as its camelCase name.
GET /api/nests/query filters name, customer, material, made by, comments
and status (stored and display names) with an escaped LIKE parameter,
orders newest saved first with an id tie-break, and returns one page of
at most 500 records plus the total match count, read in one database
hold. Unknown, repeated or out-of-range parameters return 400.
RemoteNestRepository.QueryAsync validates the same bounds before
sending, rejects oversized pages, and reports a 404 from an older server
as a server that needs updating. GET /api/nests stays the full
enumeration used by backup, restore checks and the container smoke.
