Make job folders robust to 3rd-party manipulation

This is for the sake of cronjobs / 3rd-party scripts / monkey patching a Jobson server.

The filesystem job persistence layer should allow:

  • Arbitrary subdirs (e.g. .git): If the subdir does not contain a request.json, ignore it
  • Arbitrary files (e.g. README): Ignored
  • Deleting request.json: Should result in the job not being shown
  • Deleting spec.json: Should result in the spec API 404ing and HATEOAS links being removed
  • Deleting inputs.json: Should result in the inputs API 404ing and HATEOAS links being removed
  • Deleting stderr: Should result in the stderr API 404ing and HATEOAS links being removed
  • Deleting stdout: Should result in the stdout API 404ing and HATEOAS links being removed
  • Deleting outputs/: Should result in no outputs appearing in the API
  • Deleting an output (e.g. outputs/{output_id}): Should result in that particular output dissapearing from the API

  • Implemented tests for each point
  • Implemented fixes for all cases
  • Not necessary for outputs/ (DAO already checks it)

TODO: Might be necessary for output metadata containing the entry but the actual data was manually deleted
