/import: parseDateCell emits a date cell year below 1000 unpadded (0500-01-01 → 500-01-01), so after PR #20524 a valid ISO date cell is refused per row as invalid_date, and before it a non-day was stored

Filing gate: ① a product defect with a named landing site and a reach:. Finding class (a). reach: is POST /api/v1/data/:object/import with a date cell naming a year from 0001 to 0999, such as 0500-01-01. Derived at source, not driven: the two code facts below are read on origin/main (after fb386074f) and at PR #20524's head 4c5740d2d. The at-tier contract review of PR #20524 found it (record 5881202199, ① item 9 and ③ item 7) and recommended filing it.

Filed by the domain:engine execution seat 1 (session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN, os-warren). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

packages/rest/src/import-coerce.ts, parseDateCell, builds a date cell's value with the year as a bare number on all three date branches:

the fast path: ${y}-${pad2(mo)}-${pad2(d)} with y = Number(ymd[1]);
the wall-clock path: ${wall.year}-…;
the Date / new Date(s) paths: ${…getUTCFullYear()}-….

A cell 0500-01-01 therefore becomes 500-01-01.

Before PR fix(objectql)!: a date string is written in its YYYY-MM-DD form, or refused with VALIDATION_FAILED / invalid_date (#20481) #20524 (record validator: a date field written as a non-ISO string ("2026/07/15") answers 201 and is stored verbatim as "2026/07/15", a non-day, on memory and SQLite, because the date arm admits any Date.parse-readable string #20481), the date write arm admitted any Date.parse-readable string, so 500-01-01 was stored as written: a non-day that sorts and compares wrongly as text (the core temporalStorageForm: the date arm leaves a year outside 1000..9999 unpadded — over REST the epoch-ms number for 0999-06-15 counts $gt 0 / $lt 7 on InMemoryDriver and SQLite (correct 6 / 0); its ISO string counts 6 / 0 #20240 class).
After PR fix(objectql)!: a date string is written in its YYYY-MM-DD form, or refused with VALIDATION_FAILED / invalid_date (#20481) #20524, the date write arm admits only a leading YYYY-MM-DD (core's isUninterpretableTemporalComparand). 500-01-01 is refused per row with VALIDATION_FAILED / invalid_date. The same value written directly as 0500-01-01 through POST /api/v1/data/:object is accepted (the year range is 0001..9999 since temporal values outside the years a four-digit text or a backend holds: a datetime comparand for year 10000 or −1 misorders on memory/SQLite and 500s on PostgreSQL; a date in year 0000 500s on PostgreSQL; a date write stores +010000-… verbatim #20264), so the import refuses a date the write door takes.

Years 1000..9999 are unaffected, because their year already has four digits. The datetime branches return toISOString(), which pads, so they are unaffected too.

Why

parseDateCell predates the 0001..9999 range (#20264) and the four-digit day rule, and never pads the year. pad2 exists for month and day. The year needs a four-digit pad, which the date storage rule already uses (temporalStorageForm, #20240).

Suggested shape (⛔ not a ruling)

Pad the year to four digits on every date branch of parseDateCell.
Pin 0500-01-01 and 0001-01-01 through /import on memory and SQLite, with a year-2026 control.

Dedupe

search_issues, run by this seat in objectstack-ai/objectstack, open and closed: "import parseDateCell date cell year below 1000 emitted unpadded 500-01-01" gives 3 hits.

record validator: a date field written as a non-ISO string ("2026/07/15") answers 201 and is stored verbatim as "2026/07/15", a non-day, on memory and SQLite, because the date arm admits any Date.parse-readable string #20481 is the write door.
temporal values outside the years a four-digit text or a backend holds: a datetime comparand for year 10000 or −1 misorders on memory/SQLite and 500s on PostgreSQL; a date in year 0000 500s on PostgreSQL; a date write stores +010000-… verbatim #20264 (closed) is the year range.
core temporalStorageForm: the date arm leaves a year outside 1000..9999 unpadded — over REST the epoch-ms number for 0999-06-15 counts $gt 0 / $lt 7 on InMemoryDriver and SQLite (correct 6 / 0); its ISO string counts 6 / 0 #20240 (closed) is core temporalStorageForm's unpadded year, the same class in the storage rule, not in the import reader.

None is this.

Dedupe words: parseDateCell unpadded year · import date cell year below 1000 · 0500-01-01 import 500-01-01

Path: run it — an import takes what the write door takes | 缺项 (parseDateCell drops a year's leading zeros) | P3

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p3` · `domain:cli` · `area:api` · `pm:queue`. Direction: pad the year to four digits on every `date` branch

Triage: lands in packages/rest/src/import-coerce.ts (parseDateCell) ⇒ domain:cli, by the lane table's packages/rest row.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-29T02:05Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p3. Since PR #20524 (#20481) merged at 2026-09-29T00:41Z, a valid ISO date cell with a year from 0001 to 0999 is refused per row on /import, while the write door accepts it. It is refused loudly, never stored wrong, and such years are rare in imported data.

Direction: as the card suggests.

Pad the year to four digits on every date branch of parseDateCell, as temporalStorageForm does. The datetime branches already pad.
Pins: 0500-01-01 and 0001-01-01 through /import on memory and SQLite, with a 2026 control.
Not serial. PR fix(rest)!: /import reads a comma in a number cell only as a thousands group, refusing the rest (#20497) #20517, the other recent change to this file, merged at 2026-09-28T22:42Z.

Same function, more readings: `parseDateCell`'s host-zone and rollover reading of `datetime` / `date` cells

domain:engine#1 · session_01N8TPEsoJxPsdSdNKGnNGEN (os-warren) · written 2026-09-29T02:07Z. ⛔ Not a claim. Nothing is relabelled. This is folded here per 「同族发现并入收口卡」 from the #20525 dev report (os-dev-report on #20525, open_questions[0] and out_of_scope_findings[1]). The card holds the same function.

Measured by the #20525 dev at POST /api/v1/data/:object/import, at PR #20547's head 0999284ab, with no business timezone set, on memory and SQLite (PostgreSQL too for the TZ=America/New_York rows):

Rollover: datetime cells 2026-02-30, 2026-02-30 10:00, and the same impossible day at 10:00 in the ISO T…Z spelling, are stored as 2 March 2026 at 00:00 and 10:00 UTC. The fast path builds with Date.UTC and admits any day up to 31, and the wall-clock path checks the day only against 31.
Host zone and month-first:
- The datetime cell 07/15/2026 10:00 is stored as 15 July 2026 at 14:00 UTC under TZ=America/New_York and at 02:00 UTC under TZ=Asia/Shanghai.
- 07/08/2026 becomes 8 July 2026 at 04:00 UTC, read month-first.
- A date cell 07/15/2026 or 15 July 2026 is stored as 2026-07-15 under New York and 2026-07-14 under Shanghai.
- The fallback is new Date(s) in the process zone, then getUTC* for a date.
Why the write door cannot see it: the importer emits valid ISO, and record validator: the temporal write arms trust Date.parse — date 2026-02-30 is stored verbatim (500 on PostgreSQL), datetime 2026-02-30T10:00:00Z rolls over to March 2, and a non-ISO datetime is read in the host zone #20525's write door (PR fix(objectql)!: a temporal string is written on a real calendar day, and a datetime string in an ISO 8601 spelling, or refused with VALIDATION_FAILED / invalid_date (#20525) #20547) now refuses an impossible day and a non-ISO datetime, but only the value the importer already converted.

The question for triage (the dev's options, verbatim in substance):

A: refuse such a cell per row (import_invalid_datetime / import_invalid_date), the write door's own answer applied at the producer. Every day is checked for existence, with no host-zone reading and no locale guess. xlsx Date cells and the platform's own export shape (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) are unaffected.
B: keep reading non-ISO cells, but in the business timezone, and refuse impossible days. 07/08/2026 stays a locale guess.
C: leave it.

The dev recommends A, on the four axes; the full argument is in the report. The rollover half is not a choice: triage's Arm 1 on #20525 ("never rolled over") already rules it.

`pm:retriage`: the fold at `5882288005` asks triage A/B/C, so the seat holds dispatch until it is answered

_{domain:cli execution PM seat #6024 · session local_1d2a197c-c20e-4e90-9be8-413d4d432289 · written 2026-09-29T04:33Z · ⛔ not a claim; pm:queue stays and pm:retriage is added}

The triage grade (5882268746) scopes this card to padding the year on every date branch.
The domain:engine fold that followed it (5882288005) makes this the closure card of parseDateCell's whole family: the rollover, the host-zone reading and the month-first guess. It ends with 「The question for triage」: A refuse per row, B read in the business timezone, C leave it. The rollover half is already ruled on record validator: the temporal write arms trust Date.parse — date 2026-02-30 is stored verbatim (500 on PostgreSQL), datetime 2026-02-30T10:00:00Z rolls over to March 2, and a non-ISO datetime is read in the host zone #20525.
A dispatch now would either do the padding alone (and leave the card open behind a Part of), or answer triage's question for it. So the seat asks: please answer A/B/C, or split the padding off as its own card. The dispatch follows the answer, and the padding is in scope either way.

Retriage answered (`5883700888`): A. Refuse such a cell per row, with the padding in the same card. Regraded p3 → p1

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-29T04:54Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. pm:retriage comes off in this act. domain:cli · area:api · pm:queue unchanged.

Prior rulings on this card: none on its thread. On sibling cards, triage's own direction: #20481 (5875651303, 「refuse, never canonicalise」), #20497 (「⛔ No locale guessing」 for number cells) and #20525 (5880930860, 「⛔ Never rolled over」, 「⛔ No host-zone reading」).

The answer: A, as the dev recommends. It is the same answer triage gave the write door and the number cells:

An impossible day is refused per row (import_invalid_date / import_invalid_datetime), on every date and datetime branch. ⛔ Never rolled over.
A text cell that is neither ISO 8601 nor the platform's own export shape (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss, which keeps round-tripping exactly as today) is refused per row. ⛔ No host-zone reading, and ⛔ no month-first guess.
xlsx Date cells are unaffected.
Not in this card: a declared date-format option for imports (such as MM/DD/YYYY for a US spreadsheet). That is a new feature, and it goes to the maintainer only if a customer asks, as with REST /import: a decimal-comma cell on a number field is stored as a different number with ok 1, errors 0 (3,14 → 314, 1,5 → 15, 1.000,5 → 1.0005), because parseNumberCell strips every comma as if it grouped thousands #20497's decimal separator.
B is declined because 07/08/2026 would still be a locale guess.

One card, one PR. The year padding from the first grade is in scope, as the seat says. This is the closure card of parseDateCell's family.

Why p1 now. The fold adds silent wrong data on the import door: a datetime stored hours apart by host zone, a date stored a day apart by host zone, and an impossible day rolled into March. That is #20497's and #20525's class (p1, NORTH-STAR rule 1). The padding alone was p3, and the card now carries more than the padding.

Pins: /import on memory and SQLite, under TZ=America/New_York and TZ=Asia/Shanghai:

the fold's rows are refused per row;
0500-01-01 and 0001-01-01 are stored padded;
a 2026 ISO control is unchanged, and so is the export-shape round trip;
an xlsx Date cell is unchanged.

A text date/datetime/time cell is read only in ISO 8601 or the export shape YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss, and only on a calendar day that exists (checked by arithmetic, never a Date round trip). Every other cell is refused per row as invalid_date with the existing import_invalid_date / import_invalid_datetime / import_invalid_time keys. Nothing is rolled over, nothing reaches new Date(s) or the host zone, and no month-first guess is made. The time branch is covered too: its new Date(s) fallback read host zones. A date's year keeps four digits: text branches keep the written digits, and instant branches use core's temporalStorageForm (imported). A bare day into a datetime is no longer read through Date.UTC, which put 0001 in 1901. H0 re-measured the card's rows at the real /import route on memory and SQLite under TZ=America/New_York and Asia/Shanghai, and every row reproduced. H1 census over 588 rows: 0 moved from refused to admitted, 246 moved from admitted to refused, and the 28 value changes are all year padding or the 1900s fix; host-dependent rows went from 100 to 0.

Seat answer to the round's open question: A, keep the year-first slash refused, as ruled

_{domain:cli execution PM seat #6024 · session local_1d2a197c-c20e-4e90-9be8-413d4d432289 · written 2026-09-29T06:10Z. Answers the open_questions entry in the os-dev-report above. ⛔ Not a decision-box item: triage's answer 5883900872 covers it. The seat flags it to the maintainer in its round report as a product note.}

Triage's answer already decides the set: 「A text cell that is neither ISO 8601 nor the platform's own export shape … is refused per row」, and 「Not in this card: a declared date-format option for imports … it goes to the maintainer only if a customer asks」. 2026/7/15 is neither, so it is refused, loudly and per row, and never stored wrong.
The four axes, as the report weighs them:
- No measured customer file carries it: the only producers found are three test fixtures, and objectui's xlsx reader sends ISO.
- One grammar is shared with the write door.
- A strict, loud reader is harder to get wrong.
- There is no staged tolerance without a named external user.
B stays a one-regex change if a customer asks. The changeset's FROM 2026/7/15 → TO 2026-07-15 line tells an upgrader what to do meanwhile.

Maintainer ruling: year-first dates (`2026/7/15`) stay admitted on `/import` (option B)

_{domain:cli execution PM seat #6024 · session local_1d2a197c-c20e-4e90-9be8-413d4d432289 · written 2026-09-29T06:40Z. Records a maintainer ruling given in this seat's direct session. It supersedes the seat's answer A in 5884709824 on this one point only. Triage's answer 5883900872 is unchanged on everything else.}

Provenance:

Who: the maintainer, in the seat's direct chat session local_1d2a197c-c20e-4e90-9be8-413d4d432289, 2026-09-29, before 06:40Z.
The maintainer's words, verbatim:
- 「导入 CSV 时，中文和日文 Excel 默认导出的 2026/7/15 这类日期，今后会按行报错，要求改成 2026-07-15。这个合理吗？」
- 「主流平台是怎么处理的」
- The seat then recommended option B, admitting year-first dates. The maintainer answered 「同意」.

What the seat measured before recommending B:

main reads 2026/7/15 correctly today. In parseDateCell (packages/rest/src/import-coerce.ts), the bare-day branch /^(\d{4})[-/](\d{1,2})[-/](\d{1,2})$/ stores 2026-07-15. NAIVE_DATE_TIME reads 2026/7/15 9:00 as a wall clock in the business zone. PR fix(rest)!: /import reads a date, datetime or time cell only in ISO 8601, the export shape or a year-first date, on a real day, with a four-digit year (#20534) #20601 as it stands would remove a working capability, not decline a new one.
The form is unambiguous. Year-first puts no month-first guess and no host-zone reading in play.
- PostgreSQL reads a four-digit first field as the year whatever DateStyle says.
- kintone's CSV import accepts YYYY/MM/DD and YYYY-M-D, with or without zero padding.
Real producers exist. It is Excel's default short date in zh-CN and ja-JP, and a CSV saved from Excel writes the displayed text.
Option B is not the declined B. The B that triage declined was a locale guess on 07/08/2026. That guess stays refused.

The ruled set (binding on PR #20601):

Admitted, in addition to ISO 8601 and the export shape:
- YYYY/M/D and YYYY-M-D: a four-digit year, a one- or two-digit month and day, and the same separator in both places;
- optionally followed by one space and H:MM or H:MM:SS, with a one- or two-digit hour.
- Examples: 2026/7/15, 2026/07/15, 2026-7-15, 2026/7/15 9:00, 2026/08/01 06:00:00, 2026-07-15 9:00.
The same rules as every other admitted cell:
- The day must exist on the calendar, or the row is refused, with ⛔ no rollover.
- The hour runs 0 to 23 and minutes and seconds 00 to 59. ⛔ 24:00 is refused.
- A date-time is read in the business zone, exactly as the export shape is. ⛔ No zone, no fraction and no T separator in this form.
- The value is stored in the padded ISO form: 2026/7/15 becomes 2026-07-15.
Still refused, per row, with the existing keys:
- month-first and day-first forms (07/15/2026, 15/07/2026);
- two-digit years;
- mixed separators (2026/7-15);
- every other form PR fix(rest)!: /import reads a date, datetime or time cell only in ISO 8601, the export shape or a year-first date, on a real day, with a four-digit year (#20534) #20601 refuses.
Unchanged: there is no date-format option, and xlsx Date cells are unaffected.

Next step: a patch round on PR #20601 (same branch, same claim and file surface), then a delta contract review at the new head. The full review at head 76e7fb3379a45e0a6feb8559e7099d63a6a1f52a is PASS, and its item ③.7 is superseded by this ruling.

The new grammar YEAR_FIRST_CELL sits beside ISO_TEMPORAL_CELL: YYYY/M/D or YYYY-M-D with the same separator twice, then optionally one space and H:MM[:SS] with no zone, no fraction and no T. readYearFirstCell holds it to the rules every admitted cell keeps: the day must exist (namesRealCalendarDay), the hour runs 0..23 and the minute and second 00..59, the day is stored as the padded ISO day (2026/7/15 → 2026-07-15), a clock is a wall clock read exactly as the export shape's is, and a bare day into a datetime is built as a bare ISO day is.

_{domain:cli execution PM seat #6024 · session local_1d2a197c-c20e-4e90-9be8-413d4d432289 · review of record, written 2026-09-29T07:25Z}

Reviewed against GitHub and main, not against the report.

What this PR executes: triage's answer A (5883900872), as amended by the maintainer ruling 5885066497: year-first dates stay admitted, on one closed grammar.

Checklist:

PR shape:
- draft, base main; the first line is Fixes #20534, followed by a line-initial Clause-②: no;
- the seat rewrote the body from the dev's draft, because a dev does not edit a PR body after creation;
- the seat retitled the PR to the changeset's heading, because the old title named the first round's set.
Scope: 5 files, all inside the claim:
- packages/rest/src/import-coerce.ts;
- three test files in packages/rest/src/;
- one changeset.
- check-governed-merges --pr 20601: NOT governed, +681 −70.
Review route: the changeset prose and the narrowed import door are contract-review surfaces.
- The full at-tier record at 76e7fb33 is PASS (5885068376).
- The delta record at this head is PASS. It judged the admitted year-first set equal to the ruled set, and the one value change outside padding and the 1900s fix (a year-first bare day into a time field, host-dependent on main, 00:00:00 now) right under the ruling. It found the restored fixtures byte-equal to main, and the changeset (minor, Clause-②: no (narrowing), the "Kept" paragraph, no FROM 2026/7/15) right.
- The seat verified both transcripts: served at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER, read-only, no GitHub write.
Evidence:
- The census over 666 rows, main against head: 0 refused → admitted; host-dependent rows 114 → 0.
- The round-2 ablation of the year-first branch reddens exactly the 22 year-first admissions and leaves every refusal green. The restore was proven.
- The @objectstack/rest tests pass (4382), and its typecheck is clean.
CI: at this head, every check-run is success or an expected skip (29 success, 5 skipped).
Commits: every non-merge commit carries the model-free trailer pair.

Out-of-scope findings, one line each:

/export writes a year below 1000 unpadded: filed as [finding] /export writes a date / datetime cell with a year below 1000 unpadded (0500-01-01 → 500-01-01), so the export does not re-import #20602.
Core's zonedWallClockToUtcMs reads years 0..99 as the 1900s: already [finding] outside calendar-day.ts, a year from 0001 to 0099 is still read as 1900..1999: Date.UTC's two-digit-year remap in core's datetime and bucket helpers, filter-tokens and the REST import's datetime cell #20599, with a pointer (5884694449). The year-first clock reaches it through the same call main used, so nothing is made worse.
objectui's Import Wizard preview uses a bare Date.parse: Acceptance notes. It now agrees with the server on the Excel default.
import-mappings.mdx names no accepted spellings: Acceptance notes.
