Booking a device is not booking its doctor: the operator runs it and the doctor
only supervises. But bookAtomically locked the doctor row and isSlotTaken checked
overlap against the doctor alone, ignoring which resource was chosen, so a clinic
whose devices share one supervisor could not run two of them at once. Every
tenant in the database is in that position — clinic 2's six resources all point
at doctor 6.

Resource bookings now skip the doctor lock and carry no active_slot_key; their
guarantee comes from resource_occupancy, which understands capacity and seats.
Both direct paths write occupancy rows the way the hold engine already did, so
ResourceBookingSlotService stops being the only thing holding two sources of
truth together, and cancelling releases the seat.

Occupancy is bucketed in five-minute slices, which is coarser than a booking
time: a booking ending 12:35:04 spilled four seconds into the 12:35 bucket and
collided with the next one starting at that same second, despite zero real
overlap. This surfaced on real rows 76 and 77 during backfill. Resource bookings
now snap both ends of their window down to the bucket grid — schedule-driven
slots are already aligned, so only manually entered times move.

The seat is claimed after persist because it needs the appointment id; losing
the race removes the appointment rather than leaving a booking with no device
behind it.

app:appointment:backfill-resource-occupancy gives existing resource-backed
appointments their missing occupancy and clears the doctor keys that no longer
mean anything. It reports conflicts between two old bookings instead of picking
a loser.

Resource bookings are guarded by occupancy, not by the doctor

Booking a resource is independent of the doctor's calendar: a laser device has its own availability and the doctor attached to it only supervises. The booking code does not reflect that. bookAtomically takes a pessimistic lock on the doctor and rejects any interval that overlaps another booking of the same doctor, ignoring which resource was chosen, so a clinic whose devices share one supervising doctor cannot run two of them at once. In the current database every tenant is in that position — clinic 2's six resources all point at doctor 6, clinic 3's three at doctor 9.

The fix is to make resource occupancy the guard for resource bookings and stop deriving their protection from the doctor. Concretely: the panel booking path writes ResourceOccupancy rows the way the hold-based engine already does, cancellation releases them, active_slot_key stays null whenever an appointment carries a resource, and doctor-level locking applies only to bookings with no resource. The appointment's branch is then taken from the resource's own address rather than from a matching slot in the doctor's weekly schedule.

Considered Options

Rekeying active_slot_key on the resource (r{resource_id}:{slot_start}) was rejected because it silently defeats ClinicResource.capacity: a room seating three would reject its second patient, and a unique index knows nothing about seats, buffers, or setup and cleanup time.

Teaching isSlotTaken about resources was rejected as a half-measure. It leaves two booking paths storing occupancy in two different places — appointments.resource_id for the panel, resource_occupancy for the engine — which ResourceBookingSlotService::busyIntervals already has to union by hand. Every later fix would then have to be written twice.

Consequences

The panel path gains a database-level guard it never had: its only resource check was an application-level isFree() call with no constraint behind it, so two concurrent requests could both pass it.

Occupancy is tracked in five-minute buckets, which is coarser than a booking time. Two appointments that merely touch the same bucket collide even with zero real overlap — a booking ending 12:35:04 and the next starting 12:35:04 shared one bucket and the second was rejected. Every schedule-driven booking was already aligned to the grid; only "ثبت خارج از برنامه" produced off-grid seconds. So a resource booking now snaps both ends of its window down to the bucket grid, which makes the guarantee exact without changing any behaviour that was already correct. Rounding the end up was tried first and is wrong: it pushes every appointment into the next one's opening bucket.

Booking paths that carry no resource keep the doctor key and the doctor lock. As of this change they are: the admin path (AdminApiController), the hold/engine path (BookingController, which is guarded by occupancy instead), and any doctor-only booking on the public and panel paths.

app:appointment:backfill-resource-occupancy gives existing resource-backed appointments the occupancy rows they never had and clears their now-meaningless doctor keys. It reports rather than resolves genuine conflicts between two old bookings, because choosing which one loses is not a decision a migration should make.
