User is not a member of the specified organization

Error message

User is not a member of the specified organization

What it means

PreconditionFailed raised inside create_store_submission when organization_id is provided but no OrgMember row links the authenticated user to that organization. It is an authorization-of-intent check: you may only submit an agent to a store listing owned by an organization you belong to. The API maps PreconditionFailed to HTTP 412/409-class responses, telling the client to fix state before retrying.

Solutions

1. Refetch the user's organizations (GET the org-membership endpoint) and re-render the selector before submission.
2. Confirm the user has an accepted membership row in OrgMember for that orgId in the DB.
3. If membership should exist, check you are sending the correct organization_id (not the workspace or team name).

Example fix

// before
await api.createSubmission({ graph_id, organization_id: cachedOrg.id, ... });
// after
const orgs = await api.getMyOrganizations();
const org = orgs.find(o => o.id === organization_id);
if (!org) throw new Error('You are not a member of this organization');
await api.createSubmission({ graph_id, organization_id: org.id, ... });

const memberships = await api.getMyOrganizations();
const isMember = memberships.some(o => o.id === form.organization_id);
if (form.organization_id && !isMember) {
  setError('You are no longer a member of this team');
  return;
}
await api.createSubmission(form);

from backend.util.exceptions import PreconditionFailed

try:
    sub = await store_db.create_store_submission(...)
except PreconditionFailed as e:
    if 'organization' in str(e):
        ui.show('Join the organization before submitting on its behalf');
        return;
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: POST /store/submissions with body organization_id set to an org the user has never joined, was removed from, or a typo'd/stale org ID from the frontend's local state.

Common situations: User was kicked out of a team but the UI still shows the org selector; frontend caching an old org list; testing with a user account that was never invited to the target org.
