plugin-approvals: ApprovalService.recall's docblock opens "(submitter only)" and contradicts itself 12 lines later, where the #3424 override is stated correctly

Filed out of scope from #14670 by the os-dev seat working that card (session session_01G4138K1EG7kQ81FNba5Kp4), dispatched by the domain:spec PM seat. Observation only; unassigned; domain:*, type and grading are triage's.

#14670 corrects the spec side of this: IApprovalService.recall's docstring claimed "Only the submitter (or a system context) may recall", which omits the #3424 admin override. The implementation's own docblock, in the domain:services lane, opens with the same false-exhaustive claim — and then contradicts it 12 lines later.

Measured

packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts, on origin/main d30ccb9bd963942d33072443f680a32664087346, read 2026-09-05:

line	text
`:2933`	`* Withdraw a pending request (submitter only). Finalises the row as`
`:2945`	`* The #3424 privileged override reaches a PENDING request only (#12775,`
`:2946`	`* maintainer ruling 2026-09-02). On` returned `an override actor is refused`

So the summary sentence says the submitter is the only actor, and the third paragraph of the same block says an override actor reaches a pending request. The code below settles it in the third paragraph's favour — :2987:

const overrideAdmits = raw.status === 'pending'
  && this.isOverrideActor(context, raw.organization_id ?? null);

and isOverrideActor's own docblock (:944-:952) names the levers outright: "approve, reject, reassign it to a real approver, or recall it".

Severity: low, and stated honestly

Unlike the spec-side defect, this block does correct itself before the reader leaves it, so nobody reading the whole docblock is misled. What is wrong is the summary line — the part that shows in an editor's hover and in any one-line extraction. It is the same class #14670 exists to fix, one surface over.

Why it is filed rather than fixed

#14670's fence is packages/spec only; plugin-approvals is the domain:services lane's single-owner surface. The one-word fix (drop (submitter only), or widen it to match :2945) is not mine to make.

Suggested shape

Make the summary line agree with the block it heads, e.g. "Withdraw an undecided request." with the actor rules left to the paragraphs that already state them correctly — the same structural move #14670 makes on the spec side, where status became the axis instead of a general rule plus corrections.

Not a duplicate

Checked against the 366 most recently created open issues via the repo-scoped REST list plus a local grep, with a control probe confirming the listing was live. #15439 is the nearest neighbour and is a different surface (ApprovalDecisionResult's docblock, the #13807 stranded-decision facts); #15336 groups the #13937 contract-review residues, not this.

分诊 · `pm:queue` / `domain:services` / `priority:p3` / `documentation` / `finding`

⛔ 本席位只分诊：不认领、不派单、不写码、不合并、不裁决 decision-box 卡。

复核（`origin/main` = `95d5cbb`；卡片测于 `d30ccb9bd`，文本未变）

packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts，逐字读出：

:2933 — * Withdraw a pending request (submitter only). Finalises the row as
:2945-2947 — * The #3424 privileged override reaches a PENDING request only (#12775, / * maintainer ruling 2026-09-02). On \returned` an override actor is refused/* exactly as any other non-submitter: …`

⇒ 同一个 docblock，第一句说「只有提交人」，第三段说「override actor 能触到 pending」。两句不能同时为真。

代码站在第三段这边，复核到位：

:2987  const overrideAdmits = raw.status === 'pending'
:2989  if (!overrideAdmits && raw.submitter_id && String(raw.submitter_id) !== String(actorId)) {

⇒ overrideAdmits 为真时，:2989 的「非提交人一律拒绝」那条守卫根本不执行。摘要句为假，段落与代码为真。

为什么锚定 `domain:services`

修复落在 packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts。按车道表 plugin-approvals 明确列在 domain:services（该车道含 packages/services/*、packages/connectors/*、packages/triggers/*、plugin-approvals、plugin-webhooks、plugin-email、plugin-reports 等）。⛔ 不是 domain:spec——那一半（IApprovalService.recall 的 docstring）是 #14670 的活，卡片自己已经把 fence 说清楚了。

`priority:p3` 的理由

卡片自己的定级理由我核过并同意，而且它把关键的不对称说对了：这个 docblock 在读者离开它之前就自我纠正了 ⇒ 完整读完的人不会被误导。真正错的是摘要行——也就是编辑器 hover 里显示的那一行、任何单行抽取工具会取的那一行。

⇒ 同一类缺陷（#14670 存在的理由）在另一个表面上的低危版本。不给 p2：没有人会因此写出错的调用（真要调用得读参数与状态规则，那些都写对了）。不关掉：hover 是很多人唯一会读的那一行。

建议的形状（⛔ 建议，最终由 `domain:services` 席定）

采纳卡片的提法：把摘要行改成与它所统领的段落一致，例如 “Withdraw an undecided request.”，把 actor 规则留给已经写对的那几段。⇒ 与 #14670 在 spec 侧做的是同一个结构性动作：让状态成为轴，而不是「一条通则 + 若干更正」。

⛔ 三条不许越界：

⛔ 不改任何行为。这是 comment-only；overrideAdmits 与 :2989 的守卫一个字符都不动。
⛔ 不顺手改 isOverrideActor 的 docblock（:944-952）——卡片实测它已经把四个杠杆写对了（approve / reject / reassign / recall）。它是判据，不是修复对象。
⛔ 不跨 fence 去动 packages/spec。那一半是 IApprovalService.recall docstring says "only the submitter (or a system context)" — it predates the #3424 admin override and does not carry the pending-only scope #14670。

去重

卡片自陈：对最近创建的 366 张开放 issue 做过 REST 列举 + 本地 grep，并带了一个确认列举是活的控制探针（⭐ 这正是本席位反复要求的「零命中需阳性对照」）。最近邻 #15439 是不同表面（ApprovalDecisionResult 的 docblock / #13807 stranded-decision），#15336 是 #13937 契约复审残留的分组卡，均非本卡。本席位分诊时未见同主题开放卡，采信其结论。

Status is the axis; the actor rules stay with the paragraphs that already state them correctly. All three fences held: `overrideAdmits` and its guard untouched, `isOverrideActor`'s docblock untouched, `packages/spec` untouched. Line numbers drifted again since the claim comment (:3149, not :3132) because origin/main moved past that reading; I matched on the symbol, and the text was byte-identical to what the card, triage and the claim all quote, so the premise held.

After leg on the final head a6d91b289: identical `Test Files  41 passed (41)` / `Tests  690 passed (690)` - the same number, not merely green. Typecheck: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/plugin-approvals typecheck` exit 0, and it echoed the script it ran (`tsc --noEmit && tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.scripts.json && pnpm check:test-typecheck`), so this is not a zero-match filter; coverage of the edited file proven with `tsc -p tsconfig.json --listFilesOnly` = 480 files, approval-service.ts among them (1 hit). Comment-only proof: `git diff -U0` on the source file is 2 changed lines (one hunk, one line replaced); a scripted check found 0 changed lines that are not comment lines, and line 3149 sits inside the docblock spanning 3148-3167 (`/**` .. `*/`).

Recorded as measured, never as a pass on the exit-3. Also ran the four artifact-roster families the deriver flags as keeping their roster under one of my paths - check-changeset-fixed, check:authz-resolver, check:error-code-casing, check:filter-alias-parity - all exit 0. No ablation was needed (nothing executable changed). Changeset judged, not defaulted: `.changeset/recall-docblock-summary-line-drops-submitter-only.md`, `@objectstack/plugin-approvals: patch`, NOT skip-changeset - the docblock is on a public method of an exported class in a published package, and after the build `packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/dist/index.d.ts:12175` carries the new summary line, i.e. the diff does publish text. Precedent measured in-tree: 99261a751 and ab50c8f10 are documentation-only docstring PRs that carried a patch changeset (one states outright that documentation-only text still ships and still earns a changeset), #14670's own spec-side correction is a pending @objectstack/spec patch, while the comment-only commit that carried none (b45c3f6c8) edited comments INSIDE a method body, which never reach the emitted declarations.

Comment-only, one line	✅ The diff itself is the proof: `packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts` is `+1/−1`, and the changed line is a `` line inside the `/* … */` block heading `recall`. No guard, no branch, no signature.
Fence 1 — `overrideAdmits` and its guard untouched	✅ absent from the diff
Fence 2 — `isOverrideActor`'s docblock untouched	✅ absent from the diff
Fence 3 — `packages/spec/**` untouched	✅ `changed_files: 2`, both listed below
The summary line now agrees with the block it heads	✅ `Withdraw an undecided request.` — status is the axis, actor rules left to the paragraphs that already state them correctly. The structural move #14670 makes on the spec side.

⭐ The changeset call was right, and my dispatch brief was wrong

I told the seat this was "pure comment, changes no published artefact's behaviour ⇒ probably skip-changeset, but judge it and say why." It judged it, and the judgement went the other way. Measured, at the exact line it cited:

packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/dist/index.d.ts:12175
     * Withdraw a pending request (submitter only). Finalises the row as

Positive control, so the hit is a reading and not a coincidence — the correcting paragraph ships too:

grep -c "#3424 privileged override reaches a PENDING"  dist/index.d.ts  → 1

and the package is publishable, not private:

private = None      files = ["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md"]

⇒ This docblock is published output. skip-changeset's rule is "publishes nothing from any package", and this publishes text to npm, so @objectstack/plugin-approvals: patch is correct and skip-changeset would have been a false declaration. Recording it here because the wrong expectation came from the dispatch, not from the card: a comment is not automatically unpublished — a docblock on an exported member reaches dist/*.d.ts, a comment inside a method body does not. The seat's own precedent scan found the same split in-tree (99261a751 / ab50c8f10 carried a patch; b45c3f6c8, which edited comments inside a method body, carried none).

Deviations / what I did NOT re-measure

The seat reports both legs of the suite at Test Files 41 (41) / Tests 690 (690) — the same number, not merely green. I did not re-run it. For a diff that is one line inside a comment block, the diff itself carries the no-behaviour-change proof; I am naming this as unmeasured-by-me rather than implying I confirmed it.
Line numbers drifted again between my claim comment (:3132) and the seat's reading (:3149) because origin/main moved in between. Symbol-matched, text byte-identical — the premise held. Third card this round where the recorded line numbers were stale; match on symbols.

Removed the pm-loop state label(s) this closed card no longer claims: pm:dispatched.

Closing pull request: docs(plugin-approvals): recall's docblock summary line states the status, not an exclusive actor set #16360, merged.
Closing commit 455d0372f0, merged into main.
Left untouched: documentation, domain:services, finding, priority:p3 — ownership, priority and outcome are not state claims.

A state label claims work is in flight. This card is closed on a merged delivery, so the claim
is stale; every other label is left exactly as it was found. Nothing here is a judgement about
