[finding] a third hand-spelled copy of the human-user predicate lives in plugin-security, out of reach of the one #11767 consolidated

What

"Is this sys_user row a HUMAN?" — u.id !== SystemUserId.SYSTEM && u.role !== 'system' — is spelled in three places:

packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/auth-plugin.ts (dev-admin seed precondition)
packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/auth-manager.ts (the feat(spec,auth)!: one declared audience posture for who may self-register into an app — invite_only|email_domain|open, default invite_only #11739 audience bootstrap bypass)
packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/bootstrap-platform-admin.ts:401 (isHumanUser, also used at :426 and :472)

objectstack#11767 consolidated the first two onto one owner, isHumanUserRow in plugin-auth/src/audience-posture.ts, because they had already produced a live contradiction: the audience gate and the seed disagreeing means a seed that decides to run and a gate that then refuses it.

The plugin-security copy was left where it is: plugin-security does not depend on plugin-auth, so sharing across them needs the predicate to move to a package both depend on (@objectstack/spec or @objectstack/platform-objects) — an api-surface change #11767 should not have carried.

Why it matters

The three answer for the SAME boot sequence, on the SAME population. plugin-security's copy is the one that prints [security] no human users yet — first sign-up will be promoted to platform admin and then performs that promotion; plugin-auth's is the one that decides whether that sign-up is admitted at all. A database still carrying the legacy usr_system service row (SystemUserId.SYSTEM — no longer provisioned, but present in every DB an older runtime created) is exactly the population where a divergence is observable, and the observable symptom is a fresh-looking install locked out of itself.

Nothing gates the agreement today; there is no test that asserts the three predicates answer alike.

Suggested shape

Move the predicate to a package both plugins already depend on (@objectstack/spec/system sits beside SystemUserId itself) and have all three read it. Note this touches packages/spec exports and so needs gen:api-surface.

Concentrated triage batch: finding → pm:queue + domain:services, Task — scope ruled at grading: add a cross-package drift PIN (a test asserting the plugin-security isHumanUser agrees with plugin-auth's consolidated isHumanUserRow on the shared row corpus), NOT the consolidation itself — moving the predicate into @objectstack/spec/platform-objects expands a published surface, which #11767 rightly refused to carry and which stays declined here absent new pull (the contradiction class already bit once; the pin closes that risk without new API). If the pin proves impractical across the package boundary, stop and report — the consolidation question then goes to the decision box, not into the PR.

Serial constraints cleared: plugin-security/** and plugin-auth/** are free — this lane has zero open PRs and an empty hot-file queue at takeover (seat post #6021 §3); the plugin-security holder the previous seat named (PR #12143) landed. Batch siblings this round: #12446 (service-automation/service-messaging/docs), #12128 (plugin-webhooks) — disjoint packages. ⚠️ #11520 is queued behind this one on plugin-security/** and will be dispatched only after this card's PR lands — do not widen into bootstrap-system-capabilities.ts or seed-name-lookup.ts.

⚠️ Read the FIRST triage comment, not the last one — the scope is already ruled

This card carries two later comments that read like open questions. They are not. Triage ruled the scope at grading on 2026-08-25T04:03:36Z, verbatim and ⛔ not re-litigable:

scope ruled at grading: add a cross-package drift PIN (a test asserting the plugin-security isHumanUser agrees with plugin-auth's consolidated isHumanUserRow on the shared row corpus), NOT the consolidation itself — moving the predicate into @objectstack/spec/platform-objects expands a published surface, which #11767 rightly refused to carry and which stays declined here absent new pull (the contradiction class already bit once; the pin closes that risk without new API). If the pin proves impractical across the package boundary, stop and report — the consolidation question then goes to the decision box, not into the PR.

⚠️ The 15:26Z routing note further down the thread lays out an A/B/C fork and asks triage to grade it. That grading had already happened eleven hours earlier — the note's author read the card but not the earlier comment. Option C in that table is the ruled shape; A and B are the declined ones. I am naming this explicitly because the thread reads backwards: the newest comment on this card is the stalest thing on it.

⇒ Deliverable: the agreement pin. ⛔ Not the move to @objectstack/spec/system. ⛔ Not making plugin-security depend on plugin-auth in production code.

Verified on `origin/main` @ `27b6902` — the three spellings are live

#	site	shape
1	`plugin-security/src/bootstrap-platform-admin.ts:401`	`const isHumanUser = (u: any) => u && u.id !== SystemUserId.SYSTEM && u.role !== 'system'` — used at `:426` and `:472`
2	`plugin-auth/src/audience-posture.ts:317`	`export function isHumanUserRow(row: unknown): boolean` — the #11767 consolidated owner
3	consumers of (2)	`auth-manager.ts:3653`, `auth-plugin.ts:1706`

So the population the pin must cover is: whatever rows make (1) and (2) disagree. The card names the one that matters — a database still carrying the legacy usr_system service row (SystemUserId.SYSTEM), present in every DB an older runtime created.

⭐ The load-bearing constraint, and the reason this is M and not S

plugin-security does not depend on plugin-auth. That is the whole reason #11767 left the third copy behind, and it is the thing that decides whether this card is buildable:

A test that imports both packages needs that edge to exist at least as a dev dependency, and this repo gates cross-package test inputs — check:cross-package-test-inputs is a real family here and it will have an opinion. Run it early, not at the end.
⚠️ If a devDependency edge is acceptable to the gate and the workspace, that is the cheap route and the pin is straightforward.
⚠️ If it is not — if pinning the agreement requires a production dependency edge or a new export — then per the ruling above you stop and report. ⛔ Do not add a production dependency to buy a test. Say what you measured and what it would cost; the consolidation question then goes to the decision box.

That fork is the card. Both outcomes are good runs; one of them has a PR and one of them does not.

⛔ Explicitly out of scope — named so you do not drift into them

A repo-wide census pin ("find every spelling of this predicate anywhere"). A later comment on the thread raises census-vs-three-site as an open choice. The ruled shape is the agreement comparison between the two named owners. A census is a different, larger piece of work — ⭐ if you think it is the better instrument, file it as its own card and say why; do not substitute it.
Fixing a disagreement you find. If the two predicates already disagree on some row shape, that is a finding and possibly a live defect — report it with the row and both answers. ⛔ Do not "make them agree" by editing one of them; which one is right is not yours (or mine) to decide silently.

PM mechanism assumptions — falsify them, they are not rulings

I assume isHumanUser (1) and isHumanUserRow (2) are semantically identical today and the pin will pass on first write. I have compared them by reading, not by executing. If they differ, the card gets more valuable, not less.
I assume the shared corpus can be expressed as plain row fixtures (no engine, no boot). If the predicates need a live user table to be exercised, say so — that changes the pin's cost.

Verification

The pin must be falsifiable: per this lane's standing commitment, every negative pin gets dissolution verification — break one predicate deliberately, show the pin turn red, quote the failure output, restore and verify disk == index == HEAD. ⭐ A pin that has never been seen red is not evidence.
Derived gate union from node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs on your actual changed set, exit codes captured before any pipe. check:cross-package-test-inputs in particular.
Changeset: a test-only change ships nothing — argue skip-changeset explicitly; ⛔ never an empty changeset.

  "summary": "Landed the ruled shape only: the cross-package agreement pin (triage grading 2026-08-25T04:03:36Z, option C of the later fork). No consolidation, zero packages/spec, zero packages/platform-objects, no production dependency edge. THE BUILDABILITY FORK RESOLVED IN FAVOUR OF A PIN, and the direction matters: `isHumanUserRow` is NOT reachable from outside plugin-auth (not re-exported from src/index.ts, absent from the exports map -- verified by executing against the built dist, where it reads `undefined`), so a pin living in plugin-security would have required a NEW EXPORT, i.e. the Clause-2 stop-and-report. The reverse direction needs nothing new: `bootstrapPlatformAdmin` is already published, so the pin lives in plugin-auth, imports `isHumanUserRow` relative (in-package) and reads plugin-security's closure THROUGH the published entry point. Only new edge is a devDependency plugin-auth -> plugin-security, which is also what makes it a pin at all (CI's affected-package computation is graph-walked; without the edge a plugin-security-only change would never schedule it). Result: THE TWO PREDICATES AGREE on the entire realistic row corpus, 14/14 green. ONE MEASURED DIVERGENCE, reported and deliberately NOT fixed: on non-object truthy inputs plugin-auth returns false (it requires typeof row === 'object') while the plugin-security spelling returns true -- measured by executing the expression extracted verbatim from source (string row, number row and `true` all score true on the security side). It is UNREACHABLE, not a live defect: a sys_user read never yields a non-object row, so it is out of the pinned corpus; the direction is that the security copy fails OPEN. A second, behaviourally inert shape difference: for falsy input the security closure returns the input itself (null) where isHumanUserRow returns false; both are consumed by .filter(), which is why the pin compares decisions rather than raw returns. TWO SHRINK-ONLY RATCHETS judged the new fake and were right about both -- check:objectql-double-limit (find double was limit-blind; bound now applied after the filter, by presence) and check:engine-double-contract (update() was a fake write verb looser than ObjectQL.update; DELETED rather than pinned, since its only caller is the resync branch this pin never asks for). Neither baseline was touched. check:test-source-alias went red on the new cross-package specifier and named the remedy itself (its registry is shrink-only; aliasing is the fix, widening the entry is not), so plugin-auth/vitest.config.ts gains one anchored array-form alias resolving the specifier to source. Blast radius is one file -- the only other mentions of @objectstack/plugin-security in this package are prose inside comments, not imports. TWO PM MECHANISM ASSUMPTIONS, graded: (1) 'the predicates are semantically identical today and the pin passes on first write' -- CONFIRMED by execution, subject to the non-object caveat above; (2) 'the shared corpus can be expressed as plain row fixtures, no engine, no boot' -- PARTIALLY FALSIFIED, and this is what made the card M rather than S: plugin-security's isHumanUser is a local closure inside bootstrapPlatformAdmin and cannot be called directly at all, so the security-side verdict has to be read through a driven boot entry point with an in-memory ql, not from a fixture table. NOTE ON A CONTRACT CONFLICT: the dispatch forbids model names in pushed artifacts while the harness default commit trailer carries one; I used the model-free `Co-authored-by: Claude` spelling (which already exists in this repo's history) plus the Claude-Session trailer. Flagging rather than choosing silently.",
  "tests": "All measurements below at final commit fc38b082 (branch head; `git rev-parse --short HEAD` from the same tree the union was run on). Heavy work serialized through scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh; verdicts read from its VERDICT lines, never a bare $?. (1) THE PIN: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/plugin-auth exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 src/human-user-predicate-agreement.pin.test.ts` -> 'Test Files 1 passed (1) / Tests 14 passed (14)', VERDICT command-exit 0. (2) FULL PACKAGE SUITE: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/plugin-auth run test --maxWorkers=2` -> 'Test Files 81 passed (81) / Tests 1645 passed (1645)', VERDICT command-exit 0. (3) TYPECHECK: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/plugin-auth run typecheck` -> clean, VERDICT command-exit 0. FIRST attempt returned exit 2 with 'examples/basic-usage.ts(13,28): error TS2307: Cannot find module @objectstack/plugin-auth' -- that is an UNBUILT-ARTIFACT result, not a code verdict (I had built the dependency closure with '^...' but not the package itself); building plugin-auth and re-running turned it green, which is how I separated the two. (4) TEST_DEBT, THE MEASUREMENT THAT NEARLY GOT MISSED: plugin-auth's tsconfig EXCLUDES '**/*.test.ts', so a plain typecheck says NOTHING about the new file -- NOT MEASURED, not green. Its ledger entry in scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs is `errors: 97` with an explicit zero margin ('the next new error here goes red immediately'). Measured the way that ledger defines it (tsc --noEmit with the exclusion lifted, via a temp config removed afterwards and its absence verified): TOTAL_ERRORS=97 -- exactly the recorded value -- and ERRORS_IN_NEW_PIN_FILE=0. The ratchet does not move. (5) DISSOLUTION VERIFICATION -- REBUILD AND ON-DISK CONFIRMATION STATED EXPLICITLY: mutated plugin-security/src/bootstrap-platform-admin.ts by removing the `u.id !== SystemUserId.SYSTEM` limb. Mutation confirmed ON DISK BEFORE MEASURING, by observation of the anchored text and not by an editor exit code: anchor occurrences 1 before (python refused to write on any count != 1), removed-text count 0 after, injected-marker count 1 after, and git hash-object moved 4ca4c6ab -> d697ef9e. REBUILD LEG: none is involved and that is a measured fact, not an omission -- the mutated module is resolved from SOURCE through the new anchored vitest alias, so the src edit is what the run reads; the red result IS the proof of that, since a dist-resolved test would have stayed green with no rebuild. DIRECTION PREDICTED BEFORE RUNNING: red on exactly one corpus row (the usr_system id carrying a non-system role -- the only row that limb decides), and that is what happened, not a whole-file failure. Observed output: 'AssertionError: plugin-security and plugin-auth disagree on this row. row: {\"id\":\"usr_system\",\"role\":\"admin\",\"email\":\"system@internal.test\"} / plugin-auth isHumanUserRow -> false / plugin-security isHumanUser -> true (reason: none)' with 'Tests 1 failed | 13 passed (14)'. RESTORE LEG, verified by state and not by exit code: `git checkout HEAD -- the absolute target path` (HEAD named explicitly to bypass a possibly-polluted index), then hash-object back to the HEAD blob 4ca4c6abe9ff4f45673e5d08846802881658f833, `git diff HEAD` empty, `git diff` empty, marker count 0. CONTROL LEG re-ran on the restored tree: exit 0, green. Script carried `trap restore EXIT INT TERM` with absolute paths throughout. ONE FALSE START, recorded rather than quietly re-run: the first ablation attempt returned LEG1_EXIT=127 from a wrong vitest bin path -- that is a MODULE_NOT_FOUND-class result, NOT a red pin, so it was discarded as NOT MEASURED and the whole ablation re-run after fixing the path. (6) LOCAL GATE UNION at fc38b082, derived with `node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack` with NO paths passed (it takes its own change set from the merge base). The FIRST derivation printed a loud STALE TREE warning and named 3 gate-source files that had changed under it, so I committed, merged origin/main (76c18be8) and re-derived from a current tree -- the fresh derivation surfaced check:objectql-double-limit, which the stale one had NOT listed and which then went red on my fake.

NOT RUN LOCALLY, named rather than implied: check:type-check-debt --re-measure (needs the whole workspace closure built; its zero-margin question for this package is answered directly by measurement (4) above), and the two scripts/docs-audit gates, which need PR context. Repo-wide `pnpm lint` was NOT run and is NOT claimed as a narrowing -- CI owns that run. (7) Control-byte self-scan of all changed files with grep -naP: clean.

PM review of record — ACCEPT

domain:services seat, session session_0157mMVAq9fjGe2kaSD2aJC8, round 1. PR #12512 @ fc38b082. Read out of the diff and origin/main by this seat, ⛔ not off the report's self-description.

Scope — the ruled shape, and nothing else

4 files, +272. Zero packages/spec, zero packages/platform-objects, zero governed surface. The consolidation triage declined is not here; the agreement pin triage ruled at grading is.

⭐ The buildability fork — the card's actual question — was resolved by measurement, in the direction that widens nothing

I set this card up as a fork: build the pin if a devDependency edge suffices, stop and report if it needs a production edge or a new export. The dev did something better than pick a side — it measured that the fork is asymmetric:

isHumanUserRow is module-scope-exported but not reachable from outside plugin-auth — not re-exported from src/index.ts, absent from the exports map. ⭐ Verified against the built artifact: importing plugin-auth/dist/index.mjs and reading isHumanUserRow yields undefined. So a pin living in plugin-security would have required a new export — the stop-and-report case.
The reverse direction needs nothing new: bootstrapPlatformAdmin is already published. So the pin lives in plugin-auth, imports isHumanUserRow relative (in-package), and reads the security closure through the published entry point.

I verified the consequences myself rather than accepting them:

claim	reading
devDependency only, no production edge	✓ the one added line sits in `devDependencies`, after `plugin-hono-server`; the production `dependencies` block (ending `jose`) is untouched
no new export in either package	✓ the only `package.json`/`index.ts` change in the whole diff is that single devDependency line
lockfile is the edge, not churn	✓ `pnpm-lock.yaml` — 3 insertions, nothing else
alias blast radius is one entry	✓ anchored `^…$`, array form, with the reason in a comment

⭐ And the edge is load-bearing rather than incidental: CI's affected-package computation walks the dependency graph, so without it a plugin-security-only change would never schedule this package — the pin would sit green through the very edit that breaks it. That argument is what makes this a pin instead of decoration, and it is the kind of reasoning that is invisible unless someone writes it down.

⭐ The ablation proves two things, and the second one is the rarer catch

Direction was predicted before running — red on exactly one corpus row, not a whole-file failure — and that is what happened, with the assertion quoted verbatim (plugin-auth → false, plugin-security → true on usr_system carrying a non-system role). Mutation confirmed on disk before measuring (anchor count 1 before, removed-text 0 after, injected marker 1, blob hash moved). Restore verified by state: hash back to the HEAD blob, git diff HEAD and git diff both empty, marker count 0, control leg re-run green.

⭐ The second result: the mutation was made in src/ with no rebuild, and the pin still went red. That is direct proof the new vitest alias is live — a dist-resolved test would have stayed green, which is precisely the shape of an ablation that quietly proves nothing. The dev names that inference rather than leaving it implicit.

⭐ And the false start was recorded rather than quietly re-run: the first ablation leg exited 127 from a wrong vitest bin path. That is a MODULE_NOT_FOUND-class result, not a red pin — it was discarded as NOT MEASURED and the whole ablation re-run. Treating a 127 as a passing ablation is exactly how a dissolution check becomes theatre.

⭐ Anti-vacuity, which is what makes the green mean anything

The negative side asserts reason === 'no_users' specifically, because every other way bootstrapPlatformAdmin returns adminPromoted: false carries a different reason (objectql_unavailable, admin_permission_set_missing, already_have_admin, walled_*, insert_failed). Without that, a harness that broke and short-circuited early would read as a unanimous "not human" and the file would pass vacuously. There is an explicit anti-vacuity case too, asserting the corpus really elicits both answers.

Corpus: legacy usr_system; that id with a non-system role; an ordinary id with role: 'system'; NULL role (the three-valued-logic case); absent role; empty-string role; 'System' in different case; an id merely containing the system id as a substring; null/undefined. 14/14 agree.

The two ratchets were judged, not silenced

check:objectql-double-limit and check:engine-double-contract both flagged the new fake and both were right; neither baseline was touched. The update() verb was deleted rather than pinned — dead surface whose only caller is a branch this pin never exercises. ⭐ Deleting a fake verb instead of widening a baseline to accommodate it is the correct direction, and it is the direction that costs more effort.

check:test-source-alias went red on the new cross-package specifier and named its own remedy (registry is shrink-only; alias, don't widen the entry). Followed exactly.

The measurement that nearly got missed

⭐ plugin-auth's tsconfig excludes **/*.test.ts, so a plain typecheck says nothing about a new test file — NOT MEASURED, not green. The package's ledger entry is errors: 97 with an explicit zero margin. The dev measured it the way the ledger defines it (tsc --noEmit with the exclusion lifted, temp config removed and its absence verified): total 97, exactly the recorded value, 0 in the new file. Catching that a routine gate was structurally blind to your own change is the difference between a ratchet and a decoration.

Also correct: the first typecheck attempt exited 2 on Cannot find module @objectstack/plugin-auth — diagnosed as an unbuilt-artifact result, not a code verdict, and separated by building the package and re-running.

⭐ And the gate union was re-derived after a STALE TREE warning. The first derivation named 3 changed gate-source files; the dev merged origin/main and re-derived — and the fresh derivation surfaced check:objectql-double-limit, which the stale one had not listed and which then went red on the fake. A stale union would have shipped that miss.

Changeset — `skip-changeset`, argued and right

Ships nothing: one test file, one vitest alias, one devDependency. No production dependency, no export, no runtime behaviour, and devDependencies are not part of the published dependency set. ⛔ An empty changeset would have been the wrong instrument. Check Changeset is skipped accordingly.

The flagged contract conflict — resolved correctly

The dev flagged that my dispatch forbids model names in pushed artifacts while the harness's default commit trailer carries one, and chose the model-free Co-authored-by: Claude spelling rather than deciding silently. ⭐ Right call, and I verified it: zero model-name spellings across all three branch commits. Flagging a rule collision instead of quietly picking a side is what keeps the rule enforceable.

Your open question — answered, and the answer is B, not A

You recommended A (do nothing), with B as a cheap fallback. I'm taking B, and the reason is one input to your own argument that has since changed:

A rests on "it is unreachable and the eventual consolidation deletes the divergence along with the copy."

⚠️ There is no eventual consolidation. Triage ruled at this card's grading that moving the predicate into a shared package "stays declined absent new pull" — so nothing is scheduled that retires this asymmetry. Strip that limb and A becomes "an unrecorded fail-open asymmetry in a security-adjacent predicate, sitting in the one input class your pin deliberately excludes." That rots quietly: the day a non-object row becomes reachable, the pin is green through it.

Your reachability judgement is accepted in full — this is not a defect and I have not graded it as one. It is filed as #12515, finding, unassigned, no domain:*, with the options laid out and ⛔ no recommendation from me, because grading is triage's. Dedup ran first (one hit: this card).

⛔ C is correctly refused — hardening plugin-security now would silently pick a winner between two owners this card exists to keep in agreement.

PM assumptions — graded, and one was falsified

Both were tested. (1) "semantically identical today, pin passes on first write" — confirmed by execution, subject to the non-object caveat above. (2) "the corpus can be plain row fixtures, no engine, no boot" — ⚠️ partially falsified: isHumanUser is a local closure inside bootstrapPlatformAdmin and cannot be called directly at all, so the security verdict must be read through a driven boot entry point with an in-memory ql. That is exactly what made this M rather than S, and it is why the opus tier was the right call — for a reason I guessed at and the dev measured.

Next step

Clause-② is no — verified against the diff: no export added, no production dependency, no runtime behaviour, no contract accept/reject change. No needs:contract-review hung, correctly ⇒ this seat's below-tier fuse blocks nothing. This seat arms it.

CI: 36 checks, all concluded, zero failures (successes plus skipped on the changeset and console-pin families) — including Validate Package Dependencies, which is the one that matters most for a new workspace edge. mergeable_state: clean. ⇒ Arming now, pinned to fc38b082.

plugin-auth/package.json — @objectstack/plugin-security sits in devDependencies, and the production dependencies block contains it 0 times. That is the claim the whole design rested on, so it is the one re-checked after landing rather than before;
plugin-auth/vitest.config.ts:21 — the anchored alias /^@objectstack\/plugin-security$/ → ../plugin-security/src/index.ts, with its reason in the comment above it.

pm:dispatched stripped and read back. plugin-auth/** released from this lane's hot-file serial queue.

⚠️ plugin-security/** was never actually held by this PR — its write surface was entirely plugin-auth plus the lockfile. I had queued #11520 behind it on the expected landing site; the measured one differed, so #11520 was dispatched in round 2 with a read-coupling fence (⛔ bootstrap-platform-admin.ts off limits) instead of a file-overlap wait. Recorded because "the card names package X" and "the PR writes package X" are different facts, and only the second one is a serial constraint.

The card filed alongside — named and confirmed still open

#12515 is open — the non-object-input divergence this pin deliberately excludes, where the plugin-security spelling fails OPEN. Confirmed by reading the card, not inferred from the merge.

That card exists because your open_questions entry recommended A (do nothing) on the grounds that consolidation would eventually delete the divergence — and the limb that argument rests on is not currently true: triage ruled at this card's grading that consolidation "stays declined absent new pull". Your reachability judgement was accepted in full; only the "it will be cleaned up anyway" premise was rejected. ⛔ Grading #12515 is triage's, and this seat added no domain:*.

Round-1 record for this card

⭐ The best work here was refusing to answer the fork I set as posed. I asked "devDependency edge or stop-and-report"; the dev measured that the fork is asymmetric — isHumanUserRow is unreachable from outside plugin-auth (verified against the built artifact, where it reads undefined), so a pin in plugin-security needs a new export, while the reverse direction needs nothing new because bootstrapPlatformAdmin is already published. That turned a coin-flip into a determined answer.

Two other things worth keeping: the ablation was run in src/ with no rebuild and still went red, which is direct proof the new alias is live (a dist-resolved test would have stayed green — the exact shape of an ablation that proves nothing); and a first ablation leg exiting 127 was discarded as NOT MEASURED rather than banked as a red pin.
