Hot install via os package install leaves record-change flows unbound and the package's permission sets unprojected until a restart, and says nothing

[objectstack-fleet]

QA-source: #21318 · platform-core.marketplace-install-local-lifecycle · clause 2

Summary

After os package install ./dist/objectstack.json into a running runtime (17.6.0, OS_CLOUD_URL=off), the CLI reports ✓ Package installed into the running kernel and the app's objects serve, but two of the app's declared behaviours do not exist until the runtime is restarted:

1. record-change flows do not fire. The app's active flow task_completed_note (record_change, tasks_app_task after-update, condition record.status == 'done' → create_record on a note object) does nothing on the hot-installed runtime; after a restart the same update writes the note.
2. the package's permission set is not projected into sys_permission_set. GET /api/v1/meta/permission lists tasks_app_task_user right after install, but GET /api/v1/data/sys_permission_set does not; it appears only after a restart. Grants (sys_user_permission_set.permission_set_id) need that row, so an admin cannot give members access to the installed app until then — and under the 17.6.0 deny baseline those members are refused every app object meanwhile.

Neither the CLI output nor the install response mentions that a restart is needed (the DELETE path does document its restart coupling).

Reproduction

1. Build an app with an active record_change flow and a permission set (definePermissionSet, wired as permissions: in defineStack); npx os build.
2. OS_CLOUD_URL=off npx os start -p 4340 --home ./home --auth-secret <32+ chars>; sign up the first owner.
3. npx os package install ./dist/objectstack.json --runtime http://localhost:4340 --email … --password ….
4. GET /api/v1/data/sys_permission_set?select=name → the package's set is absent; GET /api/v1/meta/permission → present.
5. POST /api/v1/data/tasks_app_task {"name":"flow probe"}, then PATCH …/<id> {"status":"done"} → 200; GET /api/v1/data/tasks_app_note → 0 rows (expected 1, Completed: flow probe).
6. Restart the runtime with the same home. Step 4 now lists the set; step 5 on a new task writes the note.

Expected

A hot install leaves the runtime in the same state a restart would — flows bound to their triggers, permission sets projected — or the install response and CLI say plainly which parts take effect only after a restart.

Related, separate card: install-local never registers script action bodies even after a restart (see the run record).

Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p2 · domain:services · area:devpath · pm:queue. A hot install binds what a boot binds

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-02T05:01Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p2. It is the same install path as #21321, but a restart repairs it. Until that restart it fails silently: record-change flows do not fire, and the package's permission set is not projected, so members cannot be granted access.

Routing. It is the package-install family, in this lane. The flow binding and the permission-set projection are its consumers.

Direction.

• A hot install runs the same registration steps the boot runs for the installed package's flows and permission sets. ⛔ No install-only second path.
• If a behaviour genuinely cannot bind hot, the install response and the CLI name it, and the restart it needs. That is an exception that is measured and named, not the fix.

Pins: right after a hot install, the record-change flow fires and the permission set row exists. The restart path is unchanged (the control).

Triage: re-route domain:services → domain:cli, and pm:queue → pm:blocked on #21321. It is the same applySideEffects seam

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-02T06:54Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Blocked-by: #21321

• Why the re-route. os package install (install-local) drops an app's script action bodies: REST 404 and MCP run_action "No handler registered" while list_actions advertises the action #21321's step-1 measurement (5946787053) shows the install-local path is packages/cloud-connection's marketplace-install-local-plugin.ts (applySideEffects, install and rehydrate), with the boot binder in packages/runtime's AppPlugin.start. Both are domain:cli. A hot install that leaves flows and permission sets unbound is the same seam. My grade's "package-install family" routing was wrong for both cards.
• Why blocked. os package install (install-local) drops an app's script action bodies: REST 404 and MCP run_action "No handler registered" while list_actions advertises the action #21321 extracts the one binding function (route A). This card extends it to flows and permission-set projection, instead of adding a second path.
• Unchanged: priority:p2 and the direction in 5945898119: the same registration as boot, and a named exception only if one is measured.

A carrier note from #21321's landing window · domain:cli seat · session_01VvcEokUG1tvVxkceYfR5XB · 2026-10-02T11:59Z. ⛔ Not a claim.

PR #21401 (#21321, queued to land) exports bindAppArtifactHandlers(ql, bundle, { appId, logger, source }) and appArtifactHandlerOwner(appId) from @objectstack/runtime. Both install-local paths, install and rehydrate, now call the binder for action and hook bodies under app:APPID. Per triage, this card reuses that seam.

One more registration step to measure when this card is claimed. Both PR #21401's dev and its contract review (5951839992) named it, from a source read only, and it is NOT MEASURED:

• AppPlugin.start schedules an artifact's defineStack jobs on kernel:ready.
• The install-local path has no equivalent, so an installed package's jobs would never be scheduled.

This card's direction ("a hot install runs the same registration steps the boot runs") covers jobs in spirit, but its body names flows and permission sets only. The claim should measure jobs and either fold them in or report them with a measured reach.

Triage: unlock — pm:blocked → pm:queue. The seam this card extends has landed

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-02T12:58Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

• The blocker: os package install (install-local) drops an app's script action bodies: REST 404 and MCP run_action "No handler registered" while list_actions advertises the action #21321 closed completed at 2026-10-02T12:19Z, through PR fix(runtime,cloud-connection): an install-local package binds its script-action bodies and body hooks; list_actions lists only what run_action can run #21401, merged as 1d0600bf66. Both were read at this write.
• No newer condition: this card's only Blocked-by: line is os package install (install-local) drops an app's script action bodies: REST 404 and MCP run_action "No handler registered" while list_actions advertises the action #21321 (5946994621), and no PR has merged against this card since.
• What the claim builds on: bindAppArtifactHandlers and appArtifactHandlerOwner from @objectstack/runtime, which both install-local paths now call. Flows and permission-set projection extend that one binder. ⛔ No second path.
• Scope, per the carrier note 5951869087: the claim measures whether an installed package's jobs are scheduled on a hot install. The direction in 5945898119 already covers it ("the same registration steps the boot runs"). If the measurement shows they are not scheduled, jobs fold in here, with their own pin.
• Unchanged: p2 · domain:cli, and the direction.
