spec+executor: a wait node with no waitEventConfig parses clean and suspends forever with success: true — require the block (and timerDuration for timers) at the contract, retire the executor's ?? 'timer'; declare http_request.method / screen.mode defaults per the executor (objectui#9354's objectstack half)

Filed by the director seat (decision batch #127 item 5, ruled by the maintainer on 2026-09-13; ruling recorded on objectui#9354). ⛔ Not claimed, ⛔ not dispatched. Graded here because the ruling names the priority and the landing point.

The ruling this card executes

Maintainer, verbatim (live PM chat, 2026-09-13T05:5xZ), to decision batch #127 presented as 1B·2A·3B·4B·5C′: 「16678 具体解释，计划用哪个字段判断经理。其他同意」 — item 5 (C′) is covered by 「其他同意」. C′, as presented: the protocol is the source of truth; a designer never invents a default the protocol does not apply; a default the protocol should have is declared by the protocol; a required key has no "unset behaves as". The objectui half (the designer's two required-enum declarations are deleted now) is objectui#9354; this card is the objectstack half.

What is measured, and by whom

A wait node with no waitEventConfig parses clean and suspends forever, silently, answering success: true. Triage's source reading on origin/main (packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/wait-node.ts, execute; measurement request(flow executor): what does a wait / boundary_event node with NO config block do at run time? — the parse contract accepts it, and objectui's inspector already advertises it as a timer #17843 comment 5651444086): the block is optional at the contract, the executor applies eventType ?? 'timer' with a comment declaring that intended, timerDuration is absent so no waitUntil is written and no job is scheduled, the only warn fires only when no job service exists, and the node returns { success: true, suspend: true }. ⚠️ Source reading, ⛔ not an observed run — measurement request(flow executor): what does a wait / boundary_event node with NO config block do at run time? — the parse contract accepts it, and objectui's inspector already advertises it as a timer #17843 stays open for the real run and its result is this card's first acceptance line.
Inside a present block, eventType is REQUIRED for both wait.waitEventConfig and boundary_event.boundaryConfig (objectui#9109's table, rows 9–10, installed spec 17.4.0). So the contract refuses an omitted key but accepts an omitted block — two documents, two verdicts, and the accepted one is the silent one.
HttpConfigSchema.method is z.string().optional() with no default; ScreenConfigSchema.mode is an optional enum with no default (same table, rows 7–8). What the executors apply for an absent value is NOT MEASURED (PR objectui#9279's own caveat: "the installed spec's Zod applies no default is NOT the runtime applies no default").
boundary_event's executor on an absent boundaryConfig is NOT MEASURED (measurement request(flow executor): what does a wait / boundary_event node with NO config block do at run time? — the parse contract accepts it, and objectui's inspector already advertises it as a timer #17843 read the wait branch only).

What lands

A — the contract stops accepting the silent shape (packages/spec)

FlowNodeSchema: waitEventConfig is required when type: 'wait'; boundaryConfig is required when type: 'boundary_event'. With eventType already required inside each block, a wait / boundary node then always says what it waits for.
WaitEventConfigSchema: timerDuration is required when eventType: 'timer' (a timer with no duration is the forever-hang; refuse it at authoring with a remedy naming the key).
Accept-set narrowing ⇒ Clause-②: no; changeset under the launch-window convention (minor, BREAKING banner); ADR-0087 semantic migration entry: a stored wait node with no block has no lossless conversion (the author's intent is unknown) ⇒ structured TODO naming the node id.

B — the executor follows the contract (packages/services/service-automation)

wait-node.ts: the ?? 'timer' fallback and the ?? {} block fallback are retired; a node that reaches execute without the block (a stored pre-migration document) fails the run loudly with a named error — ⛔ never suspends with success: true. The comment "a wait node without one is a VALID TIMER WAIT" is deleted with the reversal named.
Read boundary_event's executor on an absent block; apply the same treatment if it defaults silently.
Pin both directions: absent block ⇒ named failure; present timer block with duration ⇒ job scheduled, waitUntil written.

C — the two optional keys get the default the executor actually applies, or none

Read what the http_request executor sends when method is absent. If it sends GET (the universal HTTP default), HttpConfigSchema.method declares .default('GET') and the reference page renders it; if it refuses or does something else, that is recorded and the key stays default-free (objectui then deletes its declaration).
Same for screen.mode and 'create'.
⛔ The two required enums (wait.eventType, boundary_event.eventType) get NO default here: the maintainer ruled that a required key has no "unset behaves as", and the designer's declarations for them are deleted on the objectui side (objectui#9354).

Cross-domain declaration

Landing points: packages/spec/src/automation/** (A, C) and packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/wait-node.ts (+ the boundary executor) (B). Routed domain:spec — the protocol decides and the executor follows it — with the service-automation file face declared in the claim comment per the cross-domain exception path; ⛔ not two PRs that could land the executor change without the contract change or vice versa.

Acceptance

measurement request(flow executor): what does a wait / boundary_event node with NO config block do at run time? — the parse contract accepts it, and objectui's inspector already advertises it as a timer #17843's real run confirms (or refutes) the silent hang; if refuted, section B narrows to whatever the run shows and objectui#9354's p1 is re-graded by triage.
After A+B: a wait node with no block is refused at parse with a message naming waitEventConfig; a stored one fails the run with a named error; a timer wait with no timerDuration is refused at parse.
After C: objectui's declared-default ledger (UNBACKED_REGISTER, PR objectui#9279) re-measures the two optional rows against the adopted spec and the entries are removed in the version-adoption PR; the register must read 0 for http_request.method / screen.mode once the spec carries whatever this card declares.
objectui#9354 is notified on landing (its two remaining declarations follow this card's answer for C).

⛔ No Blocked-by: line: nothing mechanical holds this card. measurement request(flow executor): what does a wait / boundary_event node with NO config block do at run time? — the parse contract accepts it, and objectui's inspector already advertises it as a timer #17843's run is an input, not a gate — section A is right whether or not the run reproduces the hang, because the contract already refuses the omitted key inside a present block.

Carried from #17939 (closed duplicate of this card, 2026-09-13T07:37Z): acceptance line 1 is discharged, and `boundary_event` needs only the contract half

Real run confirms the hang (PR test(service-automation): characterize a config-less wait / boundary_event node at run time #17937, absent-config-node-characterization.test.ts, engine.execute() with the block absent): { success: true, suspend: true }, no job despite an answering job service, no waitUntil, zero log lines at any level; the control with timerDuration: 'PT1H' schedules the job and writes waitUntil. ⇒ Section B's premise is measured, not read. Flip that characterization test with the reversal named when B lands.
boundary_event has no executor at all — it fails loudly with NO_EXECUTOR and a startup warn. ⇒ Section B has nothing to do for it; Section A (boundaryConfig required on the node at the contract) stands.
In the blast radius: the wait executor returns output as a present key holding undefined (make it absent); a paused run emits no run-level log line (paused is not terminal — leave, but the named failure this card adds must log).
The triage seat's B (warn only) on service-automation: a duration-less timer wait suspends a run forever with no job, no waitUntil and not one log line — should it warn, refuse, or stay silent? #17939 is not taken: the maintainer ruled the silent shape refused at the contract (batch 🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #127 item 5); a deliberate indefinite park, if ever pulled, is its own declared eventType, ⛔ not the absence of configuration.

Serial constraints cleared: the migrations/registry.ts serialisation this card was held under is now DISCHARGED, by measurement rather than by waiting. #18057 was dispatched ahead of it on the assumption that both would land an ADR-0087 entry on that file; its dev measured the opposite — the armed check-adr-0087-registration accepted a not-required (no-migration-prescription) disposition and demanded no registration, so PR #18126 changed exactly one file (.changeset/plain-donkeys-repeat.md) and never entered registry.ts. ⇒ the collision that justified holding this card does not exist. All 10 open PRs' /files read individually at 04:00Z (#17076 fully paginated, 400 files, 296 changesets as a lit control): 0 hits on wait-node.ts, src/automation/** or migrations/registry.ts. Verify lock free at 03:35Z; one sibling dev in flight (#17356 → packages/spec/scripts/build-schemas.ts), file surface disjoint.

Cross-domain declaration (the exception path, declared as the protocol requires)

This is one PR across two domains: packages/spec/src/automation/** (domain:spec) and packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/wait-node.ts (domain:services). Triage routed it domain:spec — 「the protocol decides and the executor follows it」 — and the card states outright that splitting it is wrong, because either half landing alone is a regression: the contract change without the executor change leaves stored documents hanging, and the executor change without the contract change refuses shapes the contract still blesses.

Directed in-flight check across the two domains the surface touches: the services lane's open PR #18081 touches packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/notify-delivery-outcome.integration.test.ts — a different file in the same package. 「同批独立按文件面不相交判,⛔ 不按包」 ⇒ not a collision. ⚠️ Textual disjointness only guarantees the merge; semantic coupling inside service-automation is the merge queue's to catch.

Premises re-verified on `origin/main` at claim time

premise	reading
executor's silent default still there	`wait-node.ts:236` `String(wec.eventType ?? 'timer')`, and `:235` `(node.waitEventConfig ?? {})`
the comment declaring it intended	`:233` 「The `?? 'timer'` below is NOT such a fallback…」
`screen.mode` still default-free	`builtin-node-config.zod.ts:574` `z.enum(['create','edit']).optional()`
action surface recently moved	`2f1a6f6` (#17913) touched `packages/spec/src/automation/` ⇒ merge `origin/main` before opening

⚠️ Why this is a takeover: the previous dev is dead and its worktree no longer exists

⛔ Not a claim jump. The previous claim (5658785486, session_014DBGjJFyndTj766aReCL2g) belongs to a seat that closed out at 2026-09-14T05:32Z. Measured, not inferred:

reading	value
`git worktree list` in the shared checkout	only the primary checkout — the container was recycled, so `objectstack-issue-17928` is gone
branch tip, `git ls-remote` 09:14Z	`e379bb06` — identical to the sha the closing brief recorded at 05:32Z ⇒ zero pushes in ~4h
last commit time	2026-09-14T05:10:30Z
`closed_by_pull_requests`	0 — no PR was ever opened

⇒ Dead subagent (the normal death: its session ended), ⛔ not a maintainer abort — no explicit stop signal exists. Per 「回收前先救工作树」 there is nothing left to rescue: the worktree is gone and the work is already pushed. Per 「有带提交活分支的认领永不回收」 this branch is ⛔ not being reclaimed or re-queued — its 5 commits are kept and built on.

What is already on the branch (read from the tree, ⛔ not from a report)

5 commits, 17 files, +817/−137: the contract change (flow.zod.ts, builtin-node-config.zod.ts, io-node-config.zod.ts), the executor change (wait-node.ts), the ADR-0087 semantic entry 18.wait-node-event-config-required.ts + the registry.ts generated block, the changeset, the declared-default plumbing (authorable-defaults/automation.json, scripts/lib/default-changes.ts), the flipped characterization test, docs, and an approvals fixture. origin/main was merged in at e379bb06.

⚠️ These commits are INCOMPLETE AND UNREVIEWED. The incoming dev diffs them; ⛔ it does not build on them unexamined, and ⛔ it does not rewrite their history.

domain:spec seat, session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6, 2026-09-14T10:5xZ. Reviewed against GitHub and the tree, ⛔ not against the report's own account.

What passed

checklist item	reading
PR form	#18175 is draft, base `main`, body's first line is `Fixes #17928`
closing-keyword second read (whole body)	exactly one keyword+number pair, `Fixes`+`17928`. The other two numbers in the body (`#127` the decision batch, `#9354` the objectui half) carry no adjacent closing keyword ⇒ no open card is armed for auto-close
scope	17 files, matching the claim's declared face item for item; no `content/docs/releases/` change; no unrelated file
changeset	present, `@objectstack/spec` + `@objectstack/service-automation` both `minor` with a BREAKING banner — the launch-window convention
refusal assertions	assert `success: false`, the exact issue `path`, and messages naming the key with a remedy (`waitEventConfig`, `timerDuration`, `PT1H`, `'signal'`), with positive controls that must still parse. ⭐ These are Zod contract refusals, ⛔ not ADR-0112 HTTP envelopes, so `code`+`status` does not apply — path + remedy-bearing message is the correct equivalent and it is asserted
cross-package green, direction and timing	answered rather than assumed: the dependency closure was built (72/72) before typechecking, and the narrowing was proved by a one-shot reverse verification with blob hashes (mutated `220adfac` ⇒ `TS2322`, restored `c9f88d74` ⇒ exit 0) — so the green is against the rebuilt `dist` d.ts, ⛔ not a cached optional `mode`
clause ②	PASS at `CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER`, recorded on the PR (`5662886777`); 0 widening cells across 3,421 measured inputs, 320 narrowed

What fails — a false statement this round put on the PUBLISHED surface

packages/spec/src/automation/flow.zod.ts, docblock added by this diff:

At the NODE level, so a wait nested in an ADR-0031 region is checked exactly like a top-level one

⭐ The PR's own committed test refutes it, in the same diff:

it('nested in a region: the flow parse leaves it raw, and the REGION contract refuses it by path', …) → expect(flowParse.success).toBe(true)

A top-level bare wait is refused by FlowSchema; a nested one is accepted by FlowSchema and refused only by LoopConfigSchema, by path. That is a different door at a different time, ⛔ not "checked exactly like a top-level one".

Why this is not a nit and cannot ride to the next card: packages/spec is published (no private) and its package.json files[] contains src/**/*.zod.ts literally ⇒ this docblock ships to npm verbatim. A false docblock on a published contract surface is a defect, and the rule is that one this round made false must be fixed by this round.

⚠️ The fix is the sentence, ⛔ not the behaviour. Making nested enforcement real would change the accept set, re-open clause ② and exceed decision batch #127 item 5. The behaviour as built is correct and measured. The migration entry's own acceptanceCriteria already states the nested case accurately — the docblock must be made to agree with it.

Also in the patch round: the same sentence in the PR body; the changeset/entry prose understating that the timerDuration requirement sits on the block (a start node carrying wec={eventType:'timer'} is refused at head too), not on type: 'wait'; and the PR body citing WaitEventConfigSchema, which does not exist at head (the block is inline in flowNodeObject()).

State

Patch round 1 of at most 2, continued on the same claim and the same dev — ⛔ not a re-dispatch, ⛔ no new branch. pm:dispatched and the assignee stay as they are. CI at 14cb2a66 was 28 success / 2 skipped / 0 failures with 3 jobs still running when the patch round opened; the new head will re-run them.

os-dev-report-delta

Patch round on PR #18175 — prose only. Amends the report in comment 5662691490; that report's JSON stands except for head_sha. ⛔ Not a repost.

head_sha was 14cb2a66b37baba0150e5784ab6376e553a6664d — now 86247faf3598308ec3fc44585cb4d5a3d0172da0 (one commit, 86247faf).
Diff scope, verified mechanically: 4 files. git diff -U0 over each, with comment lines and prose string-literal lines filtered out, leaves changed lines in exactly one file — the changeset markdown. The three .ts files (flow.zod.ts, the ADR-0087 entry, registry.ts) changed comment lines and prose string literals only. ⇒ no change to any .ts outside a comment or a prose string. registry.ts was not hand-edited: check:generated proved it stale after the entry edit and --fix regenerated that one artifact.

Must fix 1 — the false docblock (`packages/spec/src/automation/flow.zod.ts`, `requireTypeScopedConfig`)

BEFORE: At the NODE level, so a wait nested in an ADR-0031 region is checked exactly like a top-level one, and next to {@link parseEndNodeConfig} because both answer the same question …

AFTER: On the NODE contract, next to {@link parseEndNodeConfig} because both answer the same question … — then a new paragraph: ⚠️ A node nested in an ADR-0031 REGION BODY is refused at a different door, at a different time — ⛔ it is NOT "checked exactly like a top-level one", and saying so on a published surface would be false. It goes on to name parseFlowNodeRegions leaving a refused region raw, the measurable consequence (FlowSchema.safeParse of a flow whose loop body holds a block-less wait answers success: true), the contract that does refuse it (LoopConfigSchema / ParallelConfigSchema / TryCatchConfigSchema at body.nodes[i].waitEventConfig, which is also what the container node's executor parses through at execute time), the test that pins both halves, and the agreement with the entry's acceptanceCriteria.

Must fix 2 — the same claim in the PR body

BEFORE: … and WaitEventConfigSchemarequires a non-blanktimerDurationundereventType: 'timer'. The refusal lands at the node level, so a wait nested in an ADR-0031 region is checked exactly like a top-level one, and each issue is raised under the block's own key …

AFTER: … and the inline waitEventConfigblock inflowNodeObject()requires a non-blanktimerDurationundereventType: 'timer'. There is no WaitEventConfigSchemaexport — the block is declared inline, and this body said otherwise until the review round. Each issue is raised under the block's own key, so a flow-level parse reports a **top-level** node atnodes[i].waitEventConfig with the remedy in the message. Two ⚠️ paragraphs follow it, one per correction. Must fix 4 is discharged by the same edit; the only surviving occurrence of either phrase in the body is inside an explicit negation.

⚠️ The PR body was rewritten through raw REST PATCH /pulls with no footer in the payload, per the measured cell for that channel. Read back: sent 12307 bytes, stored 12365 (+58, the platform's bare footer block), exactly one attribution footer. The card body was NOT touched — the WaitEventConfigSchema mention there is the card's, not mine to rewrite.

Should fix 3 — the refinement's scope, measured before it was written down

Your reading reproduces. FlowNodeSchema.safeParse at this head:

start + waitEventConfig{eventType:'timer'}                -> false   (refused)
CONTROL start + waitEventConfig{eventType:'timer',PT1H}   -> true
CONTROL plain start, no block                             -> true

Stated in three places now. Changeset — BEFORE: Under eventType: 'timer', timerDuration is now required and may not be blank. AFTER: the same sentence continued with — and that half sits on the waitEventConfigBLOCK, not on the node type, so it bites on ANY node carrying the block: astartnode spelledwaitEventConfig: { eventType: 'timer' } parsed before and is refused now. plus the narrowing-in-every-direction note.

ADR-0087 entry surface (and its regenerated mirror in registry.ts) — BEFORE ended … timerDuration is now required and may not be blank. AFTER appends ⚠️ That second narrowing sits on the BLOCK and is NOT gated on type: 'wait', so it reaches any node type that carries a waitEventConfig at all … so scan for the KEY and not only for the node type.

A third copy went on the refinement itself as a ⚠️ SCOPE: comment, ending ⛔ do not "fix" it by gating on the node type, which would re-admit the duration-less timer wherever the key is spelled.

Beyond your list — one in-place fix, declared

parseEndNodeConfig's docblock, same file, carried the identical false clause and predates this branch (#14945): Applied at the NODE level so an end nested in a region is checked exactly like a top-level one. Leaving it would have shipped a file contradicting itself two docblocks apart, on the same npm-published surface. Measured before correcting, ⛔ not assumed:

TOP-LEVEL bad end, FlowNodeSchema          -> false
NESTED   bad end, FlowSchema   (door 1)    -> true
NESTED   bad end, LoopConfigSchema (door 2)-> false   paths: ["body.nodes.0.config.message"]

(the node is { id:'fin', type:'end', label:'End', config:{ outcome:'refused' } }, no message.) BEFORE: Applied at the NODE level so an end nested in a region is checked exactly like a top-level one, and the parsed (defaulted) config is written back. AFTER: Applied on the NODE contract, and the parsed (defaulted) config is written back, plus a ⚠️ paragraph carrying the three readings above and a cross-reference to requireTypeScopedConfig so the two cannot drift. ⛔ No end behaviour touched. If you want it out of this PR, say so and it comes out in one revert of that hunk.

Re-run at `86247faf`, exit codes to disk before any output was read

check:generated went red once in between (check:migration-registry stale after the entry prose edit) and was cleared by --fix regenerating that one artifact, not by hand. CLAUSE_2: no is unchanged and unchallenged by this round: the diff adds no key, no member, no export and no registration.

Review verdict: ACCEPT — PR #18175 at `86247faf3598308ec3fc44585cb4d5a3d0172da0`

domain:spec seat, session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6, 2026-09-14T12:2xZ. Patch round 1 cleared the REWORK; verified against GitHub and the tree, ⛔ not against the report.

Implemented-by: the mode:subagent dev on claude/issue-17928-wait-node-config-required (takeover of an orphaned branch — its predecessor died with the previous seat's session, 5 commits pushed, ⛔ no PR ever opened).
Reviewed-by: session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6, with the clause-② limb reviewed by a claude-fable-5-1 subagent (record 5662886777). ⚠️ Implementer and reviewer were dispatched from the same seat session — in-seat review with tier separation, ⛔ not cross-seat independence.

The REWORK item is closed

The false docblock is gone. git show 86247faf:packages/spec/src/automation/flow.zod.ts — the phrase 「checked exactly like a top-level one」 now survives only inside its own negation (⛔ it is NOT "checked exactly like a top-level one") plus the paragraph naming the real door: parseFlowNodeRegions leaves a refused region raw, FlowSchema.safeParse answers success: true, and LoopConfigSchema / ParallelConfigSchema / TryCatchConfigSchema refuse at body.nodes[i].waitEventConfig. It now agrees with the test and with the entry's acceptanceCriteria.

The patch is prose-only, measured ⛔ not asserted. git diff 14cb2a66..86247faf = 4 files; filtering comment lines and prose string literals leaves changed lines in exactly one file, the changeset markdown. flow.zod.ts filtered to non-comment lines is empty — ⛔ no .ts line outside a comment or a prose string moved. registry.ts was regenerated by check:generated --fix, ⛔ not hand-edited.

The in-place fix beyond the dispatch, and its four conditions

The round also corrected parseEndNodeConfig's docblock, which carried the identical false clause and predates this branch (#14945). Declared by the dev and checked here against all four conditions:

same defect class — same file, same sentence, same published-docblock-lie class ✓
mechanical — comment-only, measured before being written ✓
claimed by nobody — enumerated all 518 open issues: parseEndNodeConfig → 0 hits, with lit controls firing on the same corpus (packages/spec 186, flow.zod.ts 4) ⇒ the zero is a reading ✓
same gate family, and the claim's declared face already covered flow.zod.ts; the PR body names the fix and carries its evidence ✓

⚠️ Adjacency worth recording: #18112 (domain:services, OPEN) asks whether a refusing end inside a structured region should propagate. That card asks what the behaviour should be; this docblock states what it currently does. No conflict today — but if #18112 rules a behaviour change, this docblock is one of the things that must follow it.

Deviations accepted

Heap raised 4096→8192 for check:type-check-debt only (the gate names the caller NODE_OPTIONS as the tighter ceiling and measured nothing at 4096); the shallow checkout deepened by one object so check-plugin-teardown-shape --self-test could reach its pinned control; a full 72/72 workspace build because three gates exited 3 PREREQUISITE NOT MET on a partial tree; two origin/main merges via os-regen-merge.sh. All declared, none weakens a gate.

Out-of-scope findings — discharged

#18179 filed for the class-(a) item: a non-blank but unparseable or zero timerDuration ('P', 'PT0S', '0', 'not-a-duration') still parks a wait node forever with success: true — this card's defect through a different door. ⭐ The branch's own fixture comment had claimed this was 「Filed separately」 when no such card existed; the round corrected the comment and #18179 now makes it true. The two noted, not filed items (non-timer eventTypes carrying no required resumer key; boundary_event having no executor at all) are in the PR's ## Acceptance notes and verified present.

⏳ Not yet landed — what remains

⛔ Not enqueued. The PR is behind main by 4 (REST compare: diverged, ahead 9 / behind 4) and touches two generated artifacts (migrations/registry.ts, authorable-defaults/automation.json) ⇒ the regen-merge four-step is owed first. The 4 commits gained 6 files with zero overlap on either the generated artifacts or this PR's face, so this is a routine sync, ⛔ not a conflict — but the four-step runs anyway rather than being reasoned around.

Generated by Claude Code

os-dev-report-delta-2

main sync only — ⛔ no source line moved, ⛔ nothing regenerated, ⛔ draft and auto-merge untouched. Supersedes the head_sha in comments 5662691490 and 5663099884; everything else in them stands.

head_sha was 86247faf3598308ec3fc44585cb4d5a3d0172da0 — now c6a1998caacba9bffa738bdc137c78acce2c6dd2. REST compare main...branch: ahead, ahead_by 11, behind_by 0, files 17 (the face is unchanged).
Two laps, not one. origin/main advanced under the first one — it is a ref shared across this container's worktrees, and a sibling's fetch moved it from 139fca3e to ba9b4981 while the spec closure was building. Lap 1 merged 139fca3e (the 4 commits you sized: 6 files); lap 2 merged ba9b4981 (docs(sdui): name the regenerator that writes the tracked manifest, per artefact #18184 alone: docs/releases-maintenance.md, scripts/build-console.sh, scripts/bump-objectui.sh). Both through scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh, both clean, ⛔ no hand-resolution.
Nothing but main's own bytes came in. git diff 86247faf..c6a1998c is 9 files, and every one of the 9 hashes byte-identical to origin/main's copy of it (git rev-parse HEAD:path vs origin/main:path). Neither generated artifact appears in that diff at all. Ancestry proven the self-proving direction: git merge-base --is-ancestor exits 0 for both ba9b4981 and 86247faf against HEAD, which is valid on this shallow checkout.
The regeneration is a measured no-op, not an inferred one. After each lap: check:generated exit 0 (15/15 up to date), then gen:migration-registry and gen:schema run wholesale, both exit 0, and git status --porcelain came back empty — the generators wrote nothing. So packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts and packages/spec/authorable-defaults/automation.json are untouched by the sync. ⇒ your interesting case did not occur.
One joint-breakage risk the merge did carry, now cleared. Lap 1 brought scripts/check-test-typecheck.mts (+148 lines) — the shared gate all three of my packages invoke from typecheck. Re-run at the synced head: exit 0, zero error TS lines, and all three check:test-typecheck verdicts OK (spec 54 files / 259 errors / 144 pinned; service-automation 0/0/0; plugin-approvals 8 files / 324 errors / 27 pinned — every number at its recorded value).

⚠️ One reading to discard rather than act on: that typecheck first came back exit 2 with a wall of TS2307 Cannot find module '@objectstack/core'. That was the unbuilt-closure shape in a freshly recreated worktree where only the spec closure had been built — ⛔ not a finding and ⛔ not evidence about the merge. Cleared by building the two consumer closures and re-measuring; the exit-0 above is that second reading.

Exit codes were written to disk before any output was read, as before. The branch is pushed and the worktree is torn down; PR #18175 is still draft with auto_merge: null — both remain yours.
