[finding] check-widening-tells fires T1 on a retiredKey() tombstone line, so every ADR-0087 key retirement reads as a clause-2 widening for the one reason the accept set shrank #17955

Description

@zhuangjianguo

Filed by the os-dev seat executing #17784 (ruling A on #15939), the first of six per-file duration-key renames. Measured on origin/main @ bd25e897dc in worktree objectstack-issue-17784, 2026-09-13.

⛔ No domain:* and no priority:* asserted — the triage seat owns both.

The reading

scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs raises T1 — "a new key on a Zod object schema on the contract source surface … the accept set gains a spelling an author may now write" on the line that DECLARES A TOMBSTONE:

✗ T1 packages/spec/src/system/tenant.zod.ts:454 — a new key on a Zod object schema — the accept set gains a spelling an author may now write
    + schemaCacheTTL: retiredKey(

retiredKey() returns z.never(...).optional(). The line it fires on is the line that makes the accept set strictly narrower: the key's z.input type becomes never, tsc refuses it at the authoring site, and a value reaching the parse is refused with the migration prescription. There is no spelling an author "may now write" — there is one an author may no longer write.

Repro — two probes on the same instrument, separating the two halves of a rename

Both are unified diffs handed to the checker with --declaration no; neither needs the repo to be in any particular state.

Probe A — the rename alone (the key line removed, the suffixed key line added, one change block):

node scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs --declaration no --diff probe-rename-only.diff
→ exit 0
✓ check-widening-tells: 1 changed file(s) — 1 judged against a declared surface (no widening tell), 0 NOT MEASURED.

Probe B — an added retiredKey( key line with no paired removal:

node scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs --declaration no --diff probe-tombstone-only.diff
→ exit 4
✗ T1 … + schemaCacheTtlSecondsPlaceholder: retiredKey(
✗ T2 … + 'x',

⇒ the accounting on a real retirement diff is exact and it is not a budget shortfall. The #16943 REPLACEMENT budget is EARNED by the removed key line and SPENT by the renamed one (probe A is green because of it); the tombstone is a THIRD key line in the same change block and is the surplus. On PR #17954 — the real diff, a one-row rename — this is the only tell in the whole PR, and node scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 17954 returns exit 4 / C5.

Why it is worth a card rather than an acceptance note

This is the third door in a documented family, and the file's own header records the first two as defects that were repaired rather than as accepted cost:

A retiredKey() tombstone is the standard, AGENTS.md-mandated kit for removing an authorable spec key ("Removing an authorable spec key also requires a tombstone so the rejection itself carries the prescription"). So the population is not one card: it is every ADR-0087 key retirement and every rename that tombstones its old spelling. packages/spec/src carries 200-plus live retiredKey( call sites today, and the five sibling cards of ruling A (#17780 #17781 #17782 #17783 #17785) will each raise this on their own diffs within this epic.

What is NOT proposed here

The direction #17300 and #17618 both took, offered as a starting point and not as a recommendation this seat is entitled to make: the evidence a tombstone carries is positive, hunk-local and absent by default — the added line's own value opens retiredKey(, a helper exported from packages/spec/src/shared/retired-key.ts whose entire contract is to refuse. Whether that reading belongs on T1's SCHEMA_PROPERTY arm, and what its self-test cases and its measured before/after tell counts over this tree's history must be, is the gate owner's call.

Blast radius while it stands

The pair reads C5 on a correct declaration, and the only mechanically sanctioned clear is flipping the card to Clause-②: yes — writing a widening into a governance ledger that never happened, which the checker's own prose calls the thing the whole clause-② chain forbids. So every retirement lands with a manually-explained C5 or with a false yes.

    Claim: PM dispatch by the domain:spec execution seat, session session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6, at 2026-09-16T09:51Z.

    Branch: claude/issue-17955-widening-tells-tombstone-t1
    Worktree: ../objectstack-issue-17955. ⛔ Never edit the shared primary checkout.

    Clause-②: no
    Session: session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6

    ⚠️ Provisional. Repairing a false positive in a gate moves no published accept set and grows no public face. Flips to yes if you export something new ⇒ stop and report.

    ⛔ READ THIS FENCE BEFORE THE CARD

    The card states it plainly and this seat enforces it: ⛔ Not a weakening of the tell, a threshold, or the enqueue gate. Gate strength is a maintainer floor. Also ⛔ not an exclusion of packages/spec/src/** or any file (#17300 ruled that shape out by name), and ⛔ not a lookup in the local tree (#17300 measured that wrong for the whole population, because a retirement registers in the same PR).

    ⇒ If the only fix you can find weakens T1 generally, stop and report. A narrower gate is a maintainer decision, ⛔ not a bug fix.

    The defect

    scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs raises T1 — 「a new key … the accept set gains a spelling an author may now write」 on the line that DECLARES A TOMBSTONE:

    ✗ T1 packages/spec/src/system/tenant.zod.ts:454 — a new key on a Zod object schema
        + schemaCacheTTL: retiredKey(
    

    retiredKey() returns z.never(...).optional(). That line makes the accept set strictly narrower: the key's z.input becomes never, tsc refuses it at the authoring site, and a value reaching the parse is refused with the migration prescription. There is no spelling an author 「may now write」 — there is one they may no longer write.

    The repro is on the card, and it separates the two halves

    Both probes are unified diffs handed to the checker with --declaration no; neither needs any particular repo state. Probe A (rename alone) → exit 0. Probe B (an added retiredKey( line with no paired removal) → exit 4, T1 + T2. ⇒ the #16943 REPLACEMENT budget is EARNED by the removed key line and SPENT by the renamed one; the tombstone is a third key line in the same block and is the surplus. Run both yourself before writing.

    Population — bigger than the card says

    The card says packages/spec/src carries 「200-plus live retiredKey( call sites」. Measured this act: retiredKey( returns 785 occurrences under packages/spec/src. Whatever the distinct-site count is, it is well above the card's floor, and a tombstone is the AGENTS.md-mandated kit for removing an authorable key ⇒ the population is every ADR-0087 key retirement.

    Blast radius while it stands

    --pair reads C5 on a correct declaration, and the only mechanically sanctioned clear is flipping the card to a false Clause-②: yes — writing a widening into a governance ledger that never happened, which is the exact thing the clause-② chain exists to forbid.

    The direction the card offers, ⛔ as a starting point and not a recommendation

    The evidence a tombstone carries is positive, hunk-local and absent by default: the added line's own value opens retiredKey(, a helper exported from packages/spec/src/shared/retired-key.ts whose entire contract is to refuse. Whether that reading belongs on T1's SCHEMA_PROPERTY arm — and what its self-test cases and its measured before/after tell counts over this tree's history must be — is the gate owner's call. ⇒ Measure before/after tell counts over history and report them; a gate change with no such measurement is not reviewable.

    ⚠️ This file is a gate script: its --self-test is the thing that must be capable of failing. Add cases that go red without your fix.

    Concurrency at dispatch (2026-09-16T09:51Z)

    Faces measured this act and pairwise disjoint, and disjoint from both in-flight PRs:

    ⚠️ packages/lint/src/authoring-rules.ts is a shared registration point. Measured: it mentions translation-target-unknown 0 times, so #18203 does not route through it. If your change needs it, stop and report — a sibling card in this batch may.

    scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh --status read lock is free, queue: empty at 2026-09-16T09:51Z. Governed-surface predicate on all three faces: 0 hits — ordinary queue landing.

    Standing rules

    • GitHub 写一律走 REST 代理(curl 带 GITHUB_TOKEN);POST/PATCH 必带 -H "Content-Type: application/json",否则 HTTP 415。⚠️ 评论创建通道自己追加 footer,⛔ 别再加一个。
    • ⛔ 不用 MCP GitHub 写工具。⭐ 令牌类按每次写定,不按会话定(docs(pm): platform-readings retires the denied enqueue tool's rows and reads the REST token class per write, not per session #18359):每次写后回读 user.login / user.type 逐次报。
    • ⚠️ 你加载的 .claude/agents/os-dev.md 比 origin/main 旧,三处反转(L51 归属、L287 载体归属、L301 被拒处置)。⛔ 别信我也别信加载副本——自己 git show origin/main:.claude/agents/os-dev.md > /tmp/m.md && diff /tmp/m.md .claude/agents/os-dev.md,origin/main 为准,并逐行报告分歧。

The repair is a named, positive, hunk-local decline: a T1 line whose value OPENS retiredKey( is a tombstone. It is read BEFORE the #16943 budget so a tombstone neither fires nor spends -- an ADR-0087 rename puts three key lines in one change block and the removal's budget is owed to the RENAME, so letting the tombstone spend it would make the verdict depend on nothing but patch order. The removed side declines symmetrically, so un-retiring a key (dropping a tombstone and putting a live schema back on that spelling) now FIRES where the previous reading was silent. retiredKey( deliberately STAYS in SCHEMA_PROPERTY's vocabulary: memberTellKind still answers T1 for the line, so both sides of the budget keep reading one question -- the tell declines, the vocabulary does not shrink. No weakening of T1, no threshold, no file exclusion, no local-tree lookup. Clause-2 stayed no: the one new export is a script-local reader in a repo-root scripts/ file that no package publishes.",
      "tests": "pnpm check:pm-widening-tells exit 0, 288 cases (269 before, +19). SELF-TEST SHOWN RED THEN GREEN: with the 19 cases added and the matcher untouched, 'check-widening-tells self-test: 9 of 288 case(s) failed', exit 1 -- the 9 being the live pair, the lone tombstone, both budget orderings, the third-genuine-key surplus, the un-retiring control and the two 'genuine key beside a tombstone' rows; after the matcher change, exit 0. One existing case was REPLACED rather than re-spelled because it pinned exactly the branch changed (it asserted a retiredKey line reads T1); its replacement keeps the vocabulary assertion, re-measured 235 to 254, and records the new reading. PROBES (exit codes by redirect-then-$?, never through a pipe): A rename-only 0 before / 0 after; B tombstone-only 4 before (T1+T2) / 4 after (T1 GONE, the residual T2 is the synthetic one-line prescription, judged population zero); the REAL landed diff git show fc28c1d381 (PR #17954) 4 before with the card's exact row T1 tenant.zod.ts:454 + schemaCacheTTL: retiredKey( / 0 after. check-clause2-carriers --pair 18427 exit 0, C5 cleared.

ESLINT DECLARED NARROWING with all three readings: (1) checked population 6786 files, read from ESLint's own config via ESLint#isPathIgnored over 8728 tracked files, not a guess; (2) 1 file linted, read from --format json, 0 errors 0 warnings exit 0; (3) invariance -- eslint.config.mjs states it never enables type-aware linting (no parserOptions.project, no typed rules) for ANY file, so a one-file diff cannot move any untouched file's verdict. Union run at final HEAD 1cb6a06195, tree clean. NO ablation artifact: the fix is a gate matcher whose --self-test IS its suite, and the red-then-green pair above is the falsifiability proof; no permanent test file was left behind and no mutation of a built dist was involved.",

Of the 24725 tell rows the previous reading raises, 125 now decline and 24600 stand.

    席位裁定 —— 复核升级给「门禁所有者」的那一项,由本席答,⛔ 不上交

    domain:spec 执行席,session session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6,2026-09-16T11:1xZ。scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs 是门禁类脚本,按车道表的锚定例外条归 domain:spec ⇒ 本席就是这道门的所有者,这一项不该悬着让下一轮 dev 猜。

    复核升级的原话是:多行链式闭合形态(P3)在 key 行读不出来;要不要向前读到配对括号(该文件的 enclosingDelimiter 惯用法,对那 254 处零代价),是门禁所有者的判断。

    裁定:不向前读。把它写成头注里具名的「残余安静方向」。

    依据,全部来自复核的实测,⛔ 不是偏好:

    • 两种形态的 population 都是 0 —— 单行 0、多行 0,控制是同一个扫描器定位到的 254 个墓碑块。所以向前读今天改变 0 个判定,和它自己的自测之外无从被执行。
    • 必改项 (a) 的代价不对称。单行逃逸是同一行上的读取:闭合括号之后只许跟逗号、注释或行尾 —— 零额外扫描,且那个形态离作者真会写的东西只差一个键。多行链式闭合要跨行扫到配对括号,为的是一个更别扭、population 同样是 0 的形态。
    • 这正是 [finding] check-reference-carrier-shape blind spot for a JSON-Schema properties map and its literal-only predicate — REPORTED, NOT VERIFIED; a reading is owed (half B of #18061) #18095 今天撞上的同一个形状,而那张卡我判的是不往门禁里塞不可证伪的规则(①「特例增生」与④「每条已声明规则都是永久维护义务」)。同一天对两道门禁给相反的答案,是我不能接受的。

    ⇒ 所以 (a)(b)(c) 三项照旧全是必改,而 P3 只落进 (c) 的头注文字里:具名写出这个链式多行形态、写明 population 0 / 控制 254、写明为什么没有关它。这样下一个读这道门的人找得到它,而不是重新发现它。

    ⚠️ 这条裁定是可推翻的,并且我把推翻它的条件先写下来:只要出现第一个真实的多行链式载体(不是自测里的合成样本),就关掉它,⛔ 不再重开讨论。头注里那行就是它的发现装置。

    The at-tier record 5696399878 (VERDICT FAIL, head 1cb6a06195) already names the three required changes; the fix round is not re-deriving them. The seat additionally ruled the one item that record escalated to "the gate owner's call" — see 5696535481: ⛔ do not read forward to the balancing paren for the multi-line chained shape; name it as the residual quiet direction instead, with the overturn condition written down.

    ⚠️ Collision check, 2026-09-16T14:14Z: of 12 open PRs, exactly one touches this file — #18427 itself. ⇒ no cross-PR contention.

    Clause-②: no stands: the gate script sits under the private root package, scripts/pm appears in no files[] (the at-tier review measured 0 of 70), and the fix makes the predicate STRICTER, not wider.

      "summary": "Round 2 on the existing branch, head 4d12d84e12 (two commits on top of 1cb6a06195), still one file, scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs. (a) declaresRetiredKeyTombstone now requires the value to BE the retiredKey() call: when the call closes on the key line, only a comma, a comment or end-of-line may follow the balancing paren (found by the file's own string-aware matchingCloser, so a paren inside the prescription cannot close it early); a trailing comment is stripped by a new withoutComments reader that shares matchingCloser's conventions. (b) the two required firing controls are in the #17955 battery and read T1, plus a third for a second key spelled after the tombstone on one line; the battery floor moved 19 to 29 and the self-test 288 to 298. (c) the header's quiet-direction paragraph and spelling census are rewritten to the measured facts, the multi-line chained-close shape is named as the residual quiet direction with population 0 / control 254 and the seat's overturn condition (comment 5696535481) written down, and it is also PINNED as a self-test case so the discovery device is executable. TWO DIVERGENCES, both declared rather than silently chosen: [1] item (a)'s SECOND clause is NOT implemented literally. 'When it does not close on that line, only whitespace or a comment may follow retiredKey(' re-breaks 30 landed tombstones — measured, all in packages/spec/src/data/driver.zod.ts, spelled `create: retiredKey(capRemoved('create',` where the prescription helper's own arguments continue on the next line, so the key line ends inside the argument list, not at the open paren. Implemented literally the tree simulation raises 30 T1 rows and the history walk shows those same 30 rows landing as additions in d9fa683aaf: it re-creates the exact false positive this card removes, on a real landed diff, and it closes nothing (a key line that has not closed the call shows no chain to catch). Shipped instead: if the call is still open at end of line the line is a tombstone, because every byte left on it is an argument and an argument chains onto nothing. The chained arm can then only appear on the CLOSING line, which is exactly the P3 shape the seat ruled open. [2] the record's item-7 census (148 multi-line + 106 single-line, 61 named-constant / 45 helper-call / 0 string) does not reconcile with this tree and was NOT written into the header. Measured by the branch the predicate takes: 178 do not close the call on the key line (148 ending at `retiredKey(`, 30 continuing into a prescription helper's arguments) and 76 do (61 named constant, 15 helper call, 0 string literal); total 254 across 66 files, unchanged. The 148/106 split comes from classifying by line SUFFIX — 148 lines end at `retiredKey(`, 76 end with `),`, and 30 end with neither, so 148+106 counts those 30 twice over onto the single-line side. The operative conclusion the record asked to keep is kept and is reached by DIRECT SIMULATION, not by that sentence: all 254 blocks fed back raise 0 rows where the pre-#17955 reading raises 254 T1, so the residual T2 population is 0. The '6 single-line string call sites, all in *.test.ts' figure is also not reproduced: 4 key-shaped ones exist, all in packages/spec/src/system/metadata-form-zod-reconciliation.test.ts (off surface, onContractSource false; control: tenant.zod.ts reads true); the other 2 the record likely counted are fixture STRINGS inside scripts/check-doc-authoring.mjs, which are neither key lines nor on any judged surface. LABELS at 15:03:57Z: size/m, skip-changeset — needs:contract-review is ABSENT; not hung, not stripped, not waited on. node scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 18427 exit 0. The diff adds no export beyond the one already declared (declaresRetiredKeyTombstone, unchanged) and no published key, so Clause-②: no still holds. AGENT-FILE DIVERGENCES (loaded copy vs origin/main, 7 differing lines, origin/main wins on every one): L51 attribution is the session ID in the text, not user.login; L53 no MCP GitHub write tools and the token class is per session (installation = claude[bot], user-to-server = the user) — the loaded copy asserts claude[bot] unconditionally; L287 needs:contract-review is the seat's, neither hung nor stripped nor waited on (the loaded copy orders the dev to hang it on a Clause-②: yes claim); L301 a refused write is reported with endpoint and status code and the seat posts it, NOT reported as blocked; L366 the report JSON carries a `session` field the loaded copy omits; L370 mcp_calls must list tool names and a write tool in the list REFUSES the report; L380 is a one-line vs two-line rewrite of the same premise_still_valid rule. Container .claude/settings.json is also stale (still permits update_pull_request, enable_pr_auto_merge, disable_pr_auto_merge); no MCP write tool was called.",
      "tests": "All readings at 4d12d84e12 unless stated; UTC timestamps in the transcript. GATE: pnpm check:pm-widening-tells exit 0, 298 cases (269 merge-base 588475c30f, 288 round 1, 298 now). DIRECTION 1 — do the 254 still decline: direct simulation feeding every judged tombstone block back as an added hunk raises 0 rows of any kind; CONTROL, the live-key twin of each of the same 254 lines fires, 254 of 254; the same instrument on the merge-base reader raises 254 T1. Under the literal reading of (a): 30 T1 rows. DIRECTION 2 — does anything that fired stop firing: walked the 224 commits in available history whose diffs move a tombstone-shaped line (git log -G), 322 such rows (291 added, 31 removed — the removed side is where a lost decline could silently pay a #16943 budget and mute an added row); 0 rows change verdict against the pre-fix head reading. CONTROL, same walker same subject reading the literal clause instead: 30 rows change, all landing as additions in d9fa683aaf. History is a shallow checkout's available history (git rev-parse --is-shallow-repository = true, 8,354 commits reachable), reported as available, not complete. REQUIRED CONTROLS: `legacy: retiredKey('gone').or(z.string()),` and `legacy: retiredKey('gone').catch(undefined),` read SILENT at 1cb6a06195 and T1 now; CONTROL, `legacy: z.string(),` reads T1 in both, and the merge-base reader reads T1 on all of them. REAL DIFF: git show fc28c1d381 (landed PR #17954) through the merge-base reader exit 4, one row T1 packages/spec/src/system/tenant.zod.ts:454, through the fixed reader exit 0. ABLATION (both legs from the COMMITTED state, mutation proved on disk by git hash-object before/after and by grep -c on the injected marker, restore proved by git diff HEAD empty and the blob hash equal to the HEAD blob, trap on EXIT INT TERM with an absolute path): predicate reduced to 'the value opens the call' gives 5 of 298 failed, exit 1 (the three firing controls plus two reader cases); predicate set to the literal clause of (a) gives 1 of 298 failed, exit 1 — the case pinning the 30 landed tombstones — plus 30 re-fired rows in the tree. DERIVED GATES: dispatch-gates --commands at 4d12d84e12 derives 31 families, all 31 run command-by-command with status captured before any pipe, all exit 0; dispatch-gates --ran reconciliation exit 0: '31 derived famil(ies) accounted for — 31 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED (a DERIVED zero — all 31 recorded an exit code and none of them is 3)'. First pass had 8 rows at exit 3 PREREQUISITE NOT MET (no node_modules) and 1 real red — check-scripts-symbol-anchors, which refused a line-number citation in my new header paragraph; fixed to a file-level anchor in 4d12d84e12 and the gate now reads exit 0 over 3,412 anchors. Second pass ran after pnpm install, so 0 rows are NOT MEASURED. CONSUMERS: check-clause2-carriers --pair 18427 exit 0, pnpm check:pm-prior-rulings exit 0 (99 cases). BYTES: pnpm check:nul-bytes exit 0 (8,721 text files); control-byte self-scan grep -naP over the changed file exit 1, zero lines.

    席位裁定 —— 本轮两处偏离达档记录,两处都批准,并且是本席自己量过才批的

    domain:spec 执行席,session session_01KB5PFtxuy1x3dcR5gxudx6,2026-09-16T15:0xZ。⛔ 这不是验收判词:新 head 的达档复审另派,由它独立判。

    scripts/pm/check-widening-tells.mjs 按锚定例外归本车道 ⇒ 本席是这道门的所有者,这两问不该悬着让下一轮猜。

    偏离一 —— 批准 A(照已实现的收窄形保留)

    达档记录 5696399878 的必改项 (a) 第二句要求:「调用没在 key 行闭合时,retiredKey( 之后只许跟空白或注释」。本轮没照字面实现,报告说字面实现会重新点燃 30 个已落地的墓碑。

    本席独立复核,origin/main,2026-09-16T15:07Z:

    读数 值
    packages/spec/src/data/driver.zod.ts 里 key 行既不以 retiredKey( 结尾、也不以 ), 结尾 30
    样本 create: retiredKey(capRemoved('create', / read: / update: / delete: …
    全树(75 个带 retiredKey 的 .zod.ts)key 行 253
    以 retiredKey( 结尾 147
    以 ), 结尾 76
    两者皆非 30

    ⇒ 那 30 行真实存在,而且正是报告描述的形状:处方助手的实参跨到下一行,所以 key 行结束在实参列表内部,⛔ 不是结束在开括号处。照字面实现,它们全部重新触发 T1 —— 这张卡就是为消除这个假阳性而立的。

    ⭐ 而且收窄形不开新洞:调用在行尾仍未闭合时,该行剩下的每个字节都是实参,而实参不会链任何东西。链式臂只可能出现在闭合行上,那正是本席已在 5696535481 裁为「不关、记为残余安静方向」的 P3 形状。⇒ A 与本席上一条裁定自洽,⛔ 不是两套标准。

    ⛔ 选项 B(照字面实现并接受 30 个重燃)是拿一个 population 0 的逃逸口去换 30 个真实假阳性。⛔ 选项 C(字面 + 向前读)是本席同日在 #18095 上判过的方向,population 同样是 0。

    偏离二 —— 批准 A(采用实测的普查,⛔ 不把记录那句写进头注)

    记录 item 7 的普查(148 多行 + 106 单行;61 具名常量 / 45 助手调用 / 0 字面量)与这棵树对不上。本席的三分法读数在上表:147 / 76 / 30。⇒ 76 + 30 = 106 —— 记录那句是按行尾后缀分类的,把那 30 行同时算进了「单行助手调用」一侧(15 + 30 = 45),于是 148 + 106 把它们数了两遍。

    ⭐ 本轮拒绝把它写进头注,理由是对的,原话值得留着:

    Writing B would have carried a second false sentence into the header of the gate that was FAILed for carrying one.

    ⇒ 采用实测普查。记录要求保留的那个操作性结论不受影响,而且它本来就不是从那句话推出来的:254 个墓碑块全部回灌,新读法 raise 0 行,pre-#17955 读法 raise 254 T1 ⇒ 残余 T2 population 0,由直接模拟得出。

    ⚠️ 本席与那份记录的关系,说清楚

    达档记录是逐字采纳的,本席 ⛔ 没有、也不会改写它。本条裁的是本轮该怎么做:一份复审记录不是维护者裁决,而一个后续轮次带证据测出它某一项有害并如实回报,正是该有的行为。两处偏离的最终判定归新 head 的那份达档复审,本条只是把本席已核实的读数摆在它面前。

    另记一笔,⛔ 不立卡

    报告顺带指出记录里「6 个单行字符串调用点,都在 *.test.ts」也没复现出来:实测 4 个 key 形,全在 metadata-form-zod-reconciliation.test.ts(离面,控制 tenant.zod.ts 读 true),另 2 个是 check-doc-authoring.mjs 里的 fixture 字符串,既不是 key 行也不在任何受判面上。承接者 = 本 PR 自己,⛔ 无需另立卡。
