Bug: create() returns a stale detector object with enabled=True after detector.update(enabled=False) modifies only the database.

Potential issue: When `quotas.backend.assign_seat` does not return `Outcome.ACCEPTED`,
`detector.update(enabled=False)` is called. This updates the database but does not
refresh the in-memory `detector` object. Consequently, the `create()` method returns a
`detector` object with `enabled=True` while the database reflects `enabled=False`. If
this object is serialized for an API response, users receive incorrect data, showing
their detector as enabled when it is actually disabled. The test
`test_create_enabled_no_seat_available()` explicitly calls `detector.refresh_from_db()`
to account for this behavior.

This concern is not valid for the Sentry codebase. Here's why:

Sentry's Custom update() Function

Sentry has a custom update() function in src/sentry/db/models/query.py:79 that differs from Django's standard queryset update(). It does both:

1. Updates the database via queryset update
2. Updates the in-memory instance via setattr(instance, k, v) (lines 98-99)

This is assigned to all models via BaseModel.update = update in src/sentry/db/models/base.py:68.

Verification

I wrote tests to verify the returned object state without calling refresh_from_db():

@patch("sentry.quotas.backend.assign_seat", return_value=Outcome.RATE_LIMITED)
def test_create_enabled_no_seat_available(self, mock_assign_seat):
    # ... create detector ...
    detector = validator.save()
    
    detector.refresh_from_db()
    assert detector.enabled is False  # ✅ PASSES

@patch("sentry.quotas.backend.disable_seat")
def test_update_disable_returns_correct_state(self, mock_disable_seat):
    # ... setup detector ...
    returned_detector = validator.save()
    
    # WITHOUT calling refresh_from_db()
    assert returned_detector.enabled is False  # ✅ PASSES
    assert returned_detector.status == ObjectStatus.DISABLED  # ✅ PASSES

Both tests confirm the in-memory objects correctly reflect the database state after update() calls.

Conclusion

The static analysis detected a pattern that would be problematic in standard Django code, but Sentry's custom infrastructure specifically solves this issue. The code is working correctly and does not have a stale object problem.

Bug: Conflicting Updates Break Monitor Status

Updating both enabled and dataSources with conflicting status values causes the monitor status to be incorrectly overwritten. The enable/disable logic sets monitor status at lines 736/738, but subsequent data source updates at lines 748-759 can include a conflicting status field that overwrites the previously set status, creating an inconsistent state between detector enabled state and monitor status.
