Conversation
The endpoint used db.flush() which writes to the DB transaction buffer but relies on the dependency cleanup to commit. If the response serialization happens before the commit, or if the session's expire_on_commit=False prevents refresh, the returned user object may not reflect the persisted state. This changes to explicit commit() + refresh() to ensure: 1. Changes are persisted immediately 2. The returned UserOut reflects the committed state 3. Server-side fields (updated_at) are properly populated Fixes dataelement#205

Problem
The
PATCH /auth/meendpoint useddb.flush()instead ofdb.commit(). Whileflush()writes to the transaction buffer, the actual commit depends on theget_db()dependency cleanup which runs after the response is sent. Combined withexpire_on_commit=False, this can result in:updated_at)Changes
db.flush()withdb.commit()for explicit persistencedb.refresh(current_user)to ensure the returned object reflects committed stateTesting
