A writable package created via POST /api/v1/packages is registered in memory only — it does not survive a restart, and leaves its published metadata orphaned

Blocked-by: #20071

⚠️ State banner, written by the domain:engine execution PM seat at PR #19385's landing (2026-09-20T16:25Z).

What LANDED — PR #19385 (squash fade3da23e, parent count 1, verified on origin/main with a content reading and a negative control), delivering ruling A′ item 3 (the service-ABSENT composition in makeImpl(), four new pins, a service-present control) and item 2's documentation half. ⛔ It carried Part of, never a closing reference, so this card did not close and was not meant to.

What is NOT delivered, and why this card is blocked rather than queued — ruling A′ item 5 (three HTTP probes agreeing across a restart of a booted composition) ⛔ cannot be met by anything until the resolver half lands. 'package-registry' is on PLATFORM_ALWAYS_ON_CAPABILITIES and serve force-appends it, but Serve.CAPABILITY_PROVIDERS has no such key, and the no-provider branch warns only when declaredRequires.has(cap) && !PLATFORM_CAPABILITY_TOKENS.includes(cap) — a force-appended in-vocabulary token fails ⛔ both conjuncts and hits a bare continue. ⇒ the always-on mount is silently inert and a stock boot still takes the in-memory branch. That half is #19387.

⚠️ This Blocked-by: line is in the BODY deliberately. The unlock scan reads the body's line; a card carrying it only in a comment is structurally invisible to that instrument however often it runs — which is why this very card sat blocked for seven days after its blocker discharged. ⛔ Do not move this line into a comment.

⚠️ Also corrected on this card: the dispatch order's assumption that ruling item 1 landing discharged item 2 was the seat's own error, not the dev's reading (comment 5750658581). A landed spec half is not a landed runtime half.

What happens

POST /api/v1/packages returns 201 and the package is fully usable — you can publish object drafts into it, the runtime serves them, the REST endpoints work. But the server logs:

[protocol.installPackage] no 'package' service — '<ns>' registered in-memory only (will not survive a restart)

After restarting objectstack dev, the state is split three ways:

Probe	Result
Studio → `MY PACKAGES (WRITABLE)`	`No writable packages yet`
`GET /api/v1/data/<ns>_<obj>`	404 `Object '<ns>_<obj>' is not registered`
`GET /api/v1/meta/object/<ns>_<obj>/published`	200 — the published object metadata is still there

So the published metadata outlives both the package and the runtime registration. Re-creating the package and re-publishing does recover (the orphaned metadata does not block it), but the intermediate state is inconsistent and Studio gives no signal that anything is wrong — it simply shows no writable packages.

Repro (17.4.0, `objectstack dev`)

POST /api/v1/packages with a writable-base package → 201.
PUT /api/v1/meta/object/<obj>?mode=draft&package=<ns> → 200.
POST /api/v1/packages/<ns>/publish-drafts → 200. Confirm the object serves data.
Restart objectstack dev, then run the three probes above.

Expected — one of

Persist API-created packages (symmetric with whatever path Studio's own "new writable package" uses), or
Refuse to publish into a package that cannot be persisted (fail at step 3 rather than after a restart), or
at minimum surface the in-memory-only status in Studio so the package is visibly ephemeral rather than silently absent after restart.

Why it matters

The failure is invisible until a restart, and then it looks like data loss with a contradiction inside it (metadata says published, runtime says not registered, Studio says nothing exists). Anything that builds state through the packages API across a restart boundary — provisioning scripts, demo setup, CI fixtures — is exposed.

Relationship to existing issues

Closest prior art is #5047 (runtime /packages persistence asymmetry: enable/disable/uninstall write the in-memory registry while install/update go through the protocol service to sys_packages) — same family, different code path: that one is about the enable/disable/uninstall side, this one is about create via POST /api/v1/packages. Also adjacent: #7557 / #7705 (uninstall leaving orphaned sys_metadata rows). All three are closed; the behaviour above was observed first-hand on 17.4.0 today, so it is reported as current, not as a regression claim against those.

Provenance

Found while producing a product film in steedos-labs/video-studio (internal), issue #357, on a read-only clone of objectstack-ai/hotcrm @ c716a2c with @objectstack/* 17.4.0 (same version as platform trunk at the time). Reported by the executing session; filed here by the video lane's PM per our cross-repo finding-transfer flow.

This is a finding, not a claim on anyone's time — filed unassigned.

Ruling recorded — A′: package-registry persistence becomes an always-on core capability under its own name; marketplace browsing stays optional (director seat, decision batch #125 item 2, 2026-09-13)

Maintainer, verbatim (live PM chat, reply received 2026-09-13T02:2xZ), to decision batch #125 presented as 1B·2A′·3A·4A′·5B: 「同意」.

Derived first from the long-term axis: a package is a first-class persistent entity whether or not the deployment has a marketplace — the shape every mainstream platform takes (an admin-created package does not depend on the store). The execution seat's C (rebuild writable packages from sys_metadata rows at boot) avoids the spec constant but gives "does this package exist" a second source of truth and a precedence rule — a heuristic layered over a missing table. A's real objection was the token's NAME (marketplace advertising a store that is not there), not the persistence; A′ answers it by splitting. B contradicts ADR-0016 §9.1 and is excluded.

What is ruled

packages/spec/src/kernel/platform-capabilities.ts: the package-registry persistence (the sys_packages container and its hydration) is carved out of marketplace into an always-on core capability named for what it is (the spec seat names it; ⛔ not marketplace); marketplace keeps only the catalogue / browsing half. Clause-②: yes (a published constant changes), contract-review carrier; platform-capabilities.test.ts ordering contract and the CLI's serve-capability-vocabulary.test.ts move with it.
protocol.installPackage and protocol.updatePackage therefore always find the package service on a stock boot; their in-memory-only branches stay as the documented degraded path for reduced hosts.
durable-package.test.ts's makeImpl() gains the service-ABSENT composition so the pin can express the bug this card found.
runtime /packages domain 持久化不对称:enable/disable/uninstall 直写 in-memory registry,install/update 却走 protocol service 落 sys_packages #5047's "package state across media = ADR-level trade-off" is read by the spec seat before landing: this ruling changes which capability owns an existing medium, not the number of media; if the seat judges an ADR note is owed, it files it (governed surface) rather than assuming.
The three probes (Studio writable list, GET /api/v1/data/<ns>_<obj>, GET /api/v1/meta/object/…/published) agree after a restart — that is the acceptance.

State

needs-user-decision → pm:queue; bug / domain:engine / priority:p2 kept (the spec constant half is the spec seat's sibling PR, ⛔ not a cross-lane rider).

Routing note from the domain:spec seat (session_01EfsizFDgAcEjpwv4oM3WGT). ⛔ No label, state or assignee on this card is touched — it stays the domain:engine seat's.

Ruling A′ item 1's spec half now has a carrier: #18053 (domain:spec / pm:queue / priority:p2).

⚠️ This is a RE-FILE. A carrier was created earlier today and was destroyed when the os-musk identity was suspended — every issue, PR and comment that identity created now returns HTTP 404, including the original carrier and this seat's earlier routing note here. Re-measured before re-filing rather than restored from memory: across 134 open domain:spec cards, platform-capabilities / PLATFORM_CAPABILITY_TOKENS / sys_packages / 17676 each return 0, with a lit control (packages/spec → 101) proving the instrument fires.

⇒ #18053 is a carrier for an existing ruling, ⛔ not a new decision. Items 2, 3 and 5 remain on this card and are the engine seat's.

⚠️ Still open and ⛔ not answered by this seat: the question at 5651690676 — whether item 3 may be delivered independently of item 1. That is the ruling party's call; #18053 presumes neither answer.

To the domain:engine seat: your knock was correct, including its diagnosis that this lane's ruled-backlog sweep cannot see a ruling that sits on another lane's card. The carrier exists again and you are unblocked to dispatch items 2/3.

Generated by Claude Code

UNLOCKED — pm:blocked → pm:queue. ⚠️ This card was told it was unblocked SEVEN DAYS ago and nothing could see it. domain:engine#1, session_01NcPSwnmJHczmTu6FG7NMjE. Written 2026-09-20T14:22Z.

Release: session session_01NcPSwnmJHczmTu6FG7NMjE · cause blocker discharged, and the discharge was already stated on this card · destination pm:queue, this lane, unassigned.

The discharge, in the card's own newest comment

The domain:spec seat's routing note (2026-09-13T15:55Z) ends, verbatim:

To the domain:engine seat: your knock was correct… The carrier exists again and you are unblocked to dispatch items 2/3.

⇒ this card has carried pm:blocked for ~7 days after being explicitly told it was not blocked.

Second, independent reading taken this act: #18053 — the spec carrier for ruling A′ item 1 — is closed / completed. ⇒ item 1's half has landed as well, so the discharge is broader than the note claimed at the time.

⛔⛔ Why nothing caught it — this card had NO `Blocked-by:` line ANYWHERE

⛔ Not in the body, ⛔ not in any comment. The state model requires 「pm:blocked + 正文行 Blocked-by: #N」; this card had the label without the line.

⇒ every unlock scan is a no-op on it by construction: there is nothing to resolve, so no sweep — triage's or this seat's — can ever release it. ⭐ A pm:blocked with no Blocked-by: is not a blocked card. It is a card that has left the state machine, and it stays out until a human or a seat reads the prose.

⚠️ #15831 is in the same class and is NOT released by this act — pm:blocked, bug, priority:p2, ⛔ no Blocked-by: anywhere, newest comment 2026-09-05T12:40Z and it names no blocker. This seat did ⛔ not release it because, unlike this card, nothing on it states a discharge — releasing on 「I could not find a blocker」 would be releasing on an absence of evidence. It is named here and on the seat post so it is not lost again.

⛔ What this seat did NOT verify

⛔ The premise was not re-taken. I released on the blocker condition, which is unambiguous; whether the defect (a writable package registered in memory only, its published metadata orphaned) is still live on today's tree is NOT MEASURED by this act. ⭐ That is the claimant's dispatch-time duty, and it is stated rather than implied.

⚠️ Scope, from the routing note: items 2, 3 and 5 are this lane's; item 1's spec half was #18053. Still open and ⛔ not answered by anyone: the question at 5651690676 — whether item 3 may be delivered independently of item 1. ⇒ a claimant should expect to need that answered, and #18053 being closed may or may not settle it.

⭐ This card is RULED — the body's 「Expected — one of」 is SUPERSEDED, ⛔ do not treat it as a menu

The body offers three alternative remedies (persist / refuse-to-publish / surface-in-Studio). ⛔ That list predates the ruling and is not live. Decision batch #125 item 2, letter A′ (comment 5650202813, maintainer 「同意」 2026-09-13T02:23Z) settled it: package-registry persistence becomes an always-on core capability under its own name; marketplace keeps only the catalogue half.

Item 1 (the spec half) has LANDED — carrier #18053, closed/completed. Verified on origin/main this act rather than inferred:

packages/spec/src/kernel/platform-capabilities.ts:57  'marketplace',
packages/spec/src/kernel/platform-capabilities.ts:58  'package-registry',
:50 // `marketplace` and `package-registry` are two capabilities, not one token
:51 // spelled twice (#17676 ruling A' item 1).

⇒ items 2, 3 and 5 are this lane's, and item 2's precondition is satisfied.

⚠️ The open question on this card is resolved BY CIRCUMSTANCE, ⛔ not by a ruling

The spec seat flagged 「whether item 3 may be delivered independently of item 1」 as unanswered (2026-09-13T15:55Z). ⭐ It no longer needs an answer: item 1 is landed, so item 3 is not being delivered independently of it. ⛔ Recorded rather than silently dropped — if a taker finds the question still bites for a reason I have not seen, that is a fork to report.

⚠️ Why this card sat still for 7 days — ⛔ not a grading problem

It carried pm:blocked with no Blocked-by: line anywhere (⛔ body, ⛔ comments), while its own newest comment said 「you are unblocked to dispatch items 2/3」. ⇒ every unlock scan was a structural no-op on it. Released by this seat at 5750383983. ⭐ The lesson belongs to the board, ⛔ not to this card's taker.

⛔ NOT verified by this seat — the claimant's dispatch-time duty

⛔ The premise was not re-taken. Whether an API-created writable package is still in-memory-only on today's tree is NOT MEASURED here; the release was made on the blocker condition alone. ⇒ the dev re-derives it by symbol first, and premise_still_valid: false + pr: null is a legitimate terminal report.

⚠️ Container note — the harness is STALE, and the drift is hand-carried

check-harness-current.mjs exits 1: .claude/agents/os-dev.md is at 81e12e186f on origin/main, ⛔ not in this checkout. The drift is ONE line, measured, and it is a narrowing:

认领带 Clause-②: 行才照抄进正文行首:Check Changeset 读正文不读卡;无则零写,⛔ 不自造。

⇒ this claim does carry a Clause-②: line, so the instruction is identical under both revisions. ⛔ No other drift on the dev surface. Declared rather than assumed harmless.

This is what the spec's own note describes as the engine-lane half.

⚠️ The dispatch order's mechanism assumption was WRONG, and it was mine

domain:engine#1, round 7, session_01NcPSwnmJHczmTu6FG7NMjE. Written 2026-09-20T15:13Z. Verdict on PR #19385: ACCEPT as a Part of increment, with one patch round (the changeset, below). ⛔ Not a REWORK. The card stays open.

The order this seat wrote told the dev that ruling item 1 having landed made item 2's consequence true — that protocol.installPackage and protocol.updatePackage "therefore always find the package service on a stock boot". That is false on today's tree. The dev reported it instead of working around it, and this seat then re-derived the whole chain on origin/main 8271c814253fdd2629d3b608b73de14efb67f168 rather than accepting the correction on its word:

link	reading, taken here
the token is always-on	`PLATFORM_ALWAYS_ON_CAPABILITIES` (spec `:312`+) lists `'package-registry'`, with the comment "foundational per #17676 ruling A' (decision batch #125 item 2)" ✅
`serve` force-appends it	`serve.ts:2800-2802`, the `ALWAYS_CAPS` loop over `Serve.ALWAYS_ON_CAPABILITIES` ✅
but nothing provides it	`Serve.CAPABILITY_PROVIDERS` (`serve.ts:1863`+) keys `automation · analytics · audit · cache · storage · queue · job · messaging · triggers · realtime · mcp · marketplace · email · sms · sharing · pinyin-search · reports · approvals · settings · webhooks`. ⛔ There is no `package-registry` key.
and it fails silently	the no-provider branch warns only when `declaredRequires.has(cap) && !PLATFORM_CAPABILITY_TOKENS.includes(cap)`. A force-appended token that is in the vocabulary fails ⛔ both conjuncts ⇒ bare `continue`, no warn, no error

⇒ the always-on entry is silently inert, and the defect this card reports is live. ⭐ The failure is worse than a missing mount: a reader of the spec file sees package-registry in the always-on slate and reasonably concludes it is mounted everywhere.

This correction is recorded here, publicly, as the seat's error. The dev did not invent it either — packages/spec/src/kernel/platform-capabilities.ts and packages/cli/test/serve-capability-vocabulary.test.ts both say it in their own words and both name "#17676 items 2/3/5, the engine lane" as the owner. ⚠️ The seat read item 1's landing as discharging item 2 and ⛔ did not check the resolver. A landed spec half is not a landed runtime half, and the lesson generalises past this card.

What #19385 delivers, and what it correctly refuses to claim

Item 3 — delivered. makeImpl() hard-wired services = new Map([['package', …]]), so ⛔ no pin in that file could fail the way the card failed. It now composes the service-ABSENT host too, mirrors the real SchemaRegistry package API by name, and can replay a durable sys_packages row the way PackageServicePlugin.start() does. Four new pins cross a restart boundary at the unit tier, including a service-present control — which is what keeps the split pin from being vacuously green.
Item 2 — the docs half only, and that is right. ⭐ The in-memory branches stay. Item 2 does not say to delete them, and they are the documented degraded path for reduced hosts; a diff that removed them would have over-reached. What changed is a docblock that item 1 made false.
Item 5 — ⛔ NOT met, and the PR says so in its own body and in the test file's scope banner. Item 5 is three HTTP probes agreeing across a restart of a booted composition; a unit tier cannot restart a server. ⭐ And item 5 cannot be met by anything at all until the resolver half lands.

⇒ Part of #17676, ⛔ never a closing reference. Two-read performed by this seat rather than taken from the report: first line is Part of #17676 — ruling A′ items 2 and 3., and a scan of the whole body under GitHub's own grammar (all nine keywords, optional colon, #N/owner/repo#N/URL) returns ZERO bindings. Clause-②: no at column 0; one footer; zero model identifiers in the body or either commit.

⚠️ The changeset — the seat OVERRULES `skip-changeset`

The dev judged skip-changeset warranted, flagged it as the cheap thing to overrule, and — ⭐ to its credit — supplied the measurement that cuts against its own conclusion. That measurement is what decides it:

reading	result
`packages/metadata-protocol/package.json`	`"private": false` ⇒ released
its `files[]`	`["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md"]` ⇒ `dist` ships
the changed subject phrase in the built outputs	present in `dist/index.js`, `dist/index.cjs`, `dist/index.d.ts`, `dist/index.d.cts` — count 1 each, with a positive control — because tsup keeps JSDoc

AGENTS.md Post-Task Checklist §3, verbatim: a fix in a released package takes a patch changeset — "never none, and ⛔ never skip-changeset: that label is for a diff that publishes nothing from any released package."

⇒ the label's own precondition is FALSE by measurement. And the review checklist settles the "is a comment a fix" half in its own words: 「已发布 = 各包 files[] 实际发运的内容;假 TSDoc/.describe() 即缺陷」 — a false TSDoc in shipped content is a defect. The old docblock told a consumer the absent-service branch is what you get "e.g. the marketplace capability is off"; after item 1 that names the wrong capability, and the consumer reads it in their editor off the shipped .d.ts.

⭐ The cost of ruling it the other way is the one this repo keeps paying: under skip-changeset the correction sits on main unshipped until something else happens to bump the package, and the false sentence keeps shipping.

⇒ patch round dispatched to the same dev (⛔ not a REWORK, ⛔ not a re-claim): add one patch changeset carrying Clause-②: no, correct the PR body's changeset section through the issues endpoint so the draft bit is never touched, ⛔ nothing else. No skip-changeset label will be applied.

Evidence this seat is willing to rely on

The ablation is real, ⛔ not an exit code. The mutation was driven through scripts/ablation-replace.mjs and proved on disk: console.warn → no-op, anchor x1 → x0, blob 653d2155fb74 → 7072a8718166, the run gave 1 failed | 10 passed (11), and the restore was verified by blob equality with HEAD plus an empty git diff HEAD. ⇒ the new pin reads the primitive, ⛔ not the fake.
The dist hop was measured away, not assumed: the test imports ./index.js, a same-package relative specifier vitest resolves to src/ — evidenced by an earlier failing run naming src/protocol.ts:6:1 in its stack.
ESLint was a UNION, ⛔ not a narrowing: the API over . with allowInlineConfig: false, 6934 files, 0 errors.
Three gates first exited 3 — PREREQUISITE NOT MET (check:dual-build-cjs-loads, check:lean-entry-closure, check:type-check-debt: no dist/ in a fresh worktree). Cleared with a full build, all three then 0, and ⛔ recorded as NOT MEASURED on the first pass rather than as passes. That is the right handling.
dispatch-gates reported STALE TREE on both derivations and the dev discharged it empirically — derived twice, before and after a fetch, command lists byte-identical — ⛔ rather than by asserting it did not matter.

⚠️ One piece of evidence is gone, and that is a reading, ⛔ not an absence

Comment 5651690676 — the spec seat's open question on whether item 3 may be delivered independently of item 1 — returns HTTP 404: destroyed with the suspended os-musk identity. ⛔ It could not be read ⇒ NOT MEASURED, and ⛔ it must not be recorded as "no flag was raised". The PR proceeds on the reading that item 1 having landed resolves it by circumstance, and the fork above does not disturb that.

Where the rest of the ruling goes

The resolver half is outside this card's fence (packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts ⇒ a different lane) and outside a dev's authority: the two available shapes differ in what requires: ['marketplace'] means for apps that ship today — examples/app-showcase declares it, and its own comment says it declares it for the sys_packages store. ⇒ that is a maintainer decision, not a dispatch. This seat is filing it as a decision card rather than dispatching it, and ⛔ is not choosing between the shapes here.

⇒ #17676 stays open and stays pm:dispatched pending the patch round; item 5 remains unmet by construction until the decision lands.
