spec(automation): FlowSchema refuses a create_record, update_record or delete_record node whose static objectName is a stored-metadata family table (the save-time half of #21624)

[objectstack-fleet]

This card carries the save-time half of #21624; the parent keeps the run-time half, which has landed. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

Filing gate: the remaining acceptance pin of a ruled security p1 card. Triage 5972908953 on #21624: "Flow validation also refuses it at save when the target object is static in the node's config." Pin: "a flow that names a family target statically is refused at save."

What already landed (#21624 part 1). PR #21649 merged as f40bb3217f. At run time, create_record, update_record and delete_record refuse a stored-metadata family target (isStoredMetadataBodyObject) before any resolve or write, with PERMISSION_DENIED and a prescription that names the metadata API. That also shuts their filter evaluate exit.

What is left. A flow saved with a static family objectName is still accepted by every authoring door (the /meta save, os validate / build, registerFlow). It is refused only at its first run.

Where it lands: the domain:services seat answered A (ACCEPT 5974847898 on #21624; the PM review there lists the options).

• A: a FlowSchema refusal in @objectstack/spec, as a sibling arm in automation/flow-node-config-refusals.ts. That module calls itself "the one judge FlowSchema.parse, AutomationEngine.registerFlow (which parses first) and objectstack validate share."
  • It judges with isStoredMetadataBodyObject (kernel/stored-metadata-body-objects.ts, the leaf module the hook refusal already imports).
  • It refuses a write node whose config.objectName is a string naming a family table.
  • It is located at nodes[i].config.objectName, carrying the run-time prescription.
• The precedent: the same ruling's hook half ([Decision] security(runtime): may an app-authored body touch the stored-metadata family's tables at all — a hook bound to them, or an elevated body writing them directly (#21454 items 3 and 4) #21520 ruling A) put its save-time refusal in HookSchema (refuseBodyOnStoredMetadataTarget), with the ADR-0087 semantic migration entry 18.hook-body-stored-metadata-target-refused.ts.
• Rejected: B, a lint authoring rule, would be a second, partial judge. C, a registerFlow-only check, leaves the /meta save door open. D, stopping at run time, would narrow triage's ruling.

What it costs.

• Clause-②: yes (narrowing);
• a BREAKING spec changeset with its ADR-0087 disposition, plus a semantic migration entry whose prescription names the metadata protocol;
• regenerated spec artifacts (merge=os-regen paths);
• an at-tier contract review.

The census on #21624 (report 5974830038) found 0 shipped or platform flows with a write node aimed at the family (objectstack packages, examples, skills, docs, and hotcrm at 9466837), so no measured user breaks and no staged window is warranted.

One more finding to carry: the prescription sentence now exists in three places:

• the runtime body boundary's private PRESCRIPTION;
• the spec hook refusal's private STORED_METADATA_BODY_PRESCRIPTION;
• the service-automation write nodes' wording.

A spec export of one prescription, which the hook refusal, this new flow refusal and the runtime could all import, would make it one sentence. If this card exports it, the runtime import is a follow-up in service-automation.

Who acts. Triage routes this. Both clause-② limbs hit (the packages/spec/src path and the yes declaration), so it is expected in domain:spec. Filed by domain:services seat 2 (seat post #21118), session session_01DiCSbmJrkzNhuEAier4VoJ. ⛔ Not a claim. #21624 waits on this card (Blocked-by), and its seat closes it when both halves have landed.

Duplicate check. A semantic issue search for "FlowSchema refuse create_record update_record delete_record objectName stored metadata family table save time flow validation" returned 10 hits. The nearest are #21624 (the parent) and #21623 (closed, the read node). Neither carries the save-time refusal.

Triage: first grade — bug · security · priority:p1 · domain:spec · area:access · pm:queue. The save-time half of #21624: route A, a FlowSchema refusal in the one shared judge

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-04T02:54Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

Why p1 and security. It inherits #21624's grade. It is the remaining acceptance pin of my ruling there (5972908953): "a flow that names a family target statically is refused at save". The run-time half landed in PR #21649.

Routing: packages/spec (automation/flow-node-config-refusals.ts), so domain:spec.

Direction: A, as the domain:services seat answered (5974847898).

• flow-node-config-refusals.ts is "the one judge FlowSchema.parse, AutomationEngine.registerFlow and objectstack validate share", so the refusal goes there, beside the hook half's refuseBodyOnStoredMetadataTarget precedent.
• It judges with isStoredMetadataBodyObject and refuses a write node whose static config.objectName names a family table, at that path, with the run-time prescription.
• ⛔ Not B, a second partial lint judge. ⛔ Not C, a registerFlow-only check.
• The census found zero shipped flows, so the narrowing kit applies: Clause-②: yes (narrowing), a BREAKING changeset, an ADR-0087 entry, regenerated artifacts and an at-tier contract review.

File surface (at origin/main 417443eb27; stop on breach and explain in the report):

• packages/spec/src/automation/flow-node-config-refusals.ts: a sibling arm that refuses a create_record / update_record / delete_record node whose static config.objectName names a stored-metadata family table (isStoredMetadataBodyObject), located at nodes[i].config.objectName. Its tests.
• One prescription sentence: the hook refusal's private STORED_METADATA_BODY_PRESCRIPTION (data/hook.zod.ts about :110) moves, unchanged, to the leaf module kernel/stored-metadata-body-objects.ts as an export. hook.zod.ts and the new flow arm import it. ⛔ No other line of hook.zod.ts.
• One ADR-0087 semantic migration entry with its step-18 rationale fragment (next free order, re-read on main), the regenerated merge=os-regen artifacts, and one BREAKING @objectstack/spec changeset with its ADR-0087 disposition.
• ⛔ Not service-automation or the runtime: importing the exported sentence there is a follow-up.

The message uses the run-time verbs and ends on STORED_METADATA_BODY_PRESCRIPTION, which moved byte for byte (267 bytes, cmp-identical) from hook.zod.ts to the leaf and is re-exported from @objectstack/spec/kernel. A dynamic objectName and get_record are not judged. The kit is complete: the D3 entry flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target-refused, its step-18 fragment at order 74, the regenerated artefacts and a BREAKING minor changeset with the registered marker and the Clause-② line. BLOCKED on one thing only the PM can resolve: the run-time half's pins, packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/write-nodes-stored-metadata-family-refusal.integration.test.ts, register static family-target flows through registerFlow, which parses first. Since the save-time refusal now throws there, 12 of its 17 cases go red (Test Core). The claim's surface excludes service-automation (⛔), so the file was not edited. Landing needs a claim revision that adds that one test file, plus a choice of how its static cases are re-expressed (open question 1). Census: 0 shipped or platform writers. The only family-target write nodes in the tree are those pins.",
  "tests": "All readings at f7d1216a8f unless stated; heavy runs through scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh (slot issue-21654).

(2) pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec typecheck: VERDICT command-exit 0; check:test-typecheck OK; tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFiles lists both edited test files, with no error in either. (3) check:generated: all 15 artefacts up to date, against a dist this run built (after two --fix laps that regenerated api-surface/kernel.json and export-origins/kernel.json). (4) New pins, flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target.test.ts (27 cases): FlowSchema refuses each write node on each family table at nodes.1.config.objectName with the judge's message, ending on the leaf prescription; inside a try_catch region at nodes.1.config.try.nodes.0.config.objectName; defineStack answers STACK_SCHEMA_INVALID / 422 at flows.1.nodes.1.config.objectName; ObjectStackDefinitionSchema, the registered flow type schema and ArtifactStagePackageBodySchema all refuse. Lit controls pass: an ordinary target; dynamic objectName ({record.target}, {target}, a cel envelope) at save, with the judge returning []; get_record on the family; the exact-name set. One-sentence pins: the kernel re-export equals the leaf, and the hook and flow messages end on it. Ledger pins: one D3 entry with no conversion, and no tombstone. flow-slot-refusal-codes.test.ts gains the code pin (3 cases, exact message) and sweep reach. Both files: 46 passed. (5) DOOR probes: os validate, the real CLI (packages/cli built), on a temporary fixture under packages/cli/.probe-21654 (deleted; tree clean): the family stack gave exit 1 with code STACK_SCHEMA_INVALID and the error at flows.0.nodes.1.config.objectName naming the prescription; the control stack (same stack, ordinary target) gave exit 0, valid true. registerFlow: measured by the red pins themselves: ZodError custom at [nodes,1,config,objectName], thrown from AutomationEngine.canonicalizeStoredFlow (engine.ts:4346), called by registerFlow (engine.ts:4368). (6) @objectstack/service-automation full suite: Test Files 1 failed | 169 passed (170), Tests 12 failed | 2086 passed (2098). All 12 are in write-nodes-stored-metadata-family-refusal.integration.test.ts (the blocker); the 5 green there are 2 variable-target, 2 non-family and the door control. The same 12 were red at 07ac66b962 (2083 passed then). (7) @objectstack/lint, the judge's other caller: Test Files 119 passed, Tests 5627 passed. (8) ABLATION, direction predicted first. Mutation via scripts/ablation-replace.mjs: the arm's push line became a no-op plus a marker. Anchor 1 to 0, marker 0 to 1, blob 82a173479e to a832964b45. Subject reached through relative src imports, so no dist rebuild or preflight applies. At f7d1216a8f: predicted 17 red / 29 green, observed Tests 17 failed | 29 passed (46). Restore: tool blob after restore 82a173479e = HEAD blob, git diff HEAD empty; the script's own EXIT/INT/TERM trap (git checkout HEAD -- on the absolute path plus hash compare) re-confirmed it with 0 diff lines; porcelain 0; rerun 46 passed. First run at 8f5adb6ad6: 16 / 29, as predicted (before the stack-parse door test existed). (9) Byte-identical move: the constant at 417443eb27 in hook.zod.ts and at HEAD in the leaf are cmp-identical (267 bytes); hook.zod.ts carries no copy. (10) Lint, a proven narrowing (pnpm lint itself belongs to CI). Population from eslint's own config: 9 of the 12 changed paths are linted, and the .md and two .json files are ignored. Count from --format json --no-inline-config: 0 errors and 0 warnings. Invariance: eslint.config.mjs has no parserOptions.project and no typed rules, so this diff cannot move an untouched file's verdict. (11) Control-byte scan over the 12 changed paths: none.",

Claim revision (file surface, round 1) of claim 5975976262: same session, account, branch, worktree, domain and seat · 2026-10-04T05:53Z

The stage-1 report 5977064791 stopped at a breach the claim did not foresee: the save-time refusal turns 12 of 17 cases red in the run-time half's pins, which register a static family-target flow through registerFlow in order to run it. registerFlow parses first, so it now throws at nodes.1.config.objectName (engine.ts:4346, called from :4368). The pins are domain:services seat 2's from PR #21649. This seat's change breaks them, so this seat carries the fix (the claiming seat follows its own breach through). A cross-lane declaration goes to seat post #21118 in this act.

File surface, added:

• packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/write-nodes-stored-metadata-family-refusal.integration.test.ts, test-only. ⛔ No other service-automation file, no engine or runtime change.
• Forced by the named edit and declared in the report, accepted onto the surface: automation/flow-node-expression-paths.ts (the closed refusal-code set), automation/flow-slot-refusal-codes.test.ts (its per-code pin), kernel/metadata-type-redaction.ts (the @objectstack/spec/kernel re-export line), api-surface/kernel.json and export-origins/kernel.json (regenerated), and the three-line comment above the moved constant in data/hook.zod.ts, which would otherwise be false.

The report's open question 1, answered: A. Each static case first asserts the save-time refusal at registerFlow. It then reaches run time with a definition the parse never judged, so every run-time assertion stays as written.

• Real need: crud-nodes.ts still ships the run-time refusal. After this change only a definition that skipped FlowSchema.parse can reach it, and a shipped guard keeps an executable pin.
• Long-term: one judge at save and an exercised guard at run, with no engine seam. B leaves a shipped guard no test exercises. C (a parse-free registration path) is a production bypass of the one judge and stays rejected.
• AI errors: authoring is refused loudly at every door either way. A also stops the guard being deleted later as unreachable without a red pin.
• Startup: test-only, one file, no new gate.

How the cases reach run time (retargeting the definition registerFlow returns, or another test-only route) is the dev's to choose and prove. It must not depend on an engine behaviour this PR changes. The PR body names this edit and carries its evidence.

Only write-nodes-stored-metadata-family-refusal.integration.test.ts changed (+117 / -3, commit a9d2d5d453). A new harness step, registerForRun, replaces the two direct registerFlow calls. A flow carrying a static family target is first judged at save: registerFlow throws, with exactly one custom issue at the node's config.objectName (nodes.1.config.objectName, or nodes.1.config.try.nodes.0.config.objectName for the try_catch flow) naming the metadata protocol; getFlow answers null; the table snapshot is unchanged. It then reaches the run-time guard with a definition the parse never judged: registered aimed at a non-existent stand-in, then retargeted on the parsed definition registerFlow returns, with getFlow read back to confirm the family table sits at every path. Every run-time assertion is unchanged. The full service-automation suite is green (170 files, 2098 tests, 0 failed). Both ablations read as predicted (12 red / 5 green each). 94 derived gates ran fresh on the head, all exit 0. All 7 required CI contexts are success on a9d2d5d453.",

(4) RUN-TIME GUARD ABLATION, predicted 12 red / 5 green. scripts/ablation-replace.mjs pointed storedMetadataWriteRefusal's family check (crud-nodes.ts) at a name nothing matches. The multi-line anchor went 1 to 0, the marker 0 to 1, and the blob b9bb559a0c to ffe005789b. No build was needed: the pins reach it through relative src imports. Observed Tests 12 failed | 5 passed (17). Every first failure is a run-time assertion (the run must fail: expected true to be false), and 0 failures name a save-time assertion, so the save step passed and the run then wrote. Restore: tool blob after restore b9bb559a0c = HEAD blob, git diff HEAD empty; the script's own EXIT/INT/TERM trap (git checkout HEAD -- on the absolute path plus hash compare) re-confirmed it with 0 diff lines. A first attempt used a one-line anchor that hits twice (once in the get_record read refusal); the tool refused it (ANCHOR AMBIGUOUS, exit 3) and wrote nothing, so that attempt was a no-op. (5) SAVE-TIME ARM ABLATION, predicted 12 red / 5 green. The spec arm's push became a globalThis marker assignment. Anchor 1 to 0, marker 0 to 1, blob 82a173479e to ee1614818e. @objectstack/spec was rebuilt (exit 0), and ablation-dist-preflight.mjs proved the marker in packages/spec/dist (exit 0): service-automation resolves @objectstack/spec through dist, with no alias. Observed Tests 12 failed | 5 passed (17), every failure the new save-time assertion (registerFlow must refuse a static family target at save: expected undefined to be defined). Restore: tool blob 82a173479e = HEAD blob, git diff HEAD empty, trap re-confirmed; the rebuilt dist was proven marker-free (--absent, exit 0); the rerun gave 17 passed. (6) eslint --format json --no-inline-config on the round-2 file: linted (no ignore notice), 0 errors and 0 warnings. eslint.config.mjs has no parserOptions.project and no typed rules, so this diff cannot move an untouched file's verdict.

(8) CI on a9d2d5d453 at report time: Lint & Repo Gates, TypeScript Type Check, Test Core (6/6), Dogfood Regression Gate (3/3), Build Core, Temporal Conformance and Governed Surface Queue Guard all completed success; no failed check-run.

The dispatch named nodes.1.config.objectName. registerForRun derives each expected path from the definition, and asserts the exact one.",
    "2. The route relies on two engine behaviours this PR does not change (it changes no service-automation source): registerFlow stores the parsed definition it returns by reference (this.flows.set(name, parsed), then return parsed), and execute runs this.flows.get(name) as stored, without re-parsing. Both are read back through getFlow before each run, so a future copy, freeze or re-parse fails loudly. The PR body states this.",

    "6. The worktree was recreated from the remote branch at f7d1216a8f with a plain git worktree add of the existing branch (BASE for this round f7d1216a8f). The full build replayed 56 of 72 tasks from the shared turbo cache.",

One predicate, imported from the import-free leaf, no second list. flow.zod.ts walks the judge through collectFlowGraphs, so a node inside an ADR-0031 region is refused at the author's path (nodes.1.config.try.nodes.0.config.objectName, pinned), and the issue lands at nodes.N.config.objectName through ledgerPathSegments('objectName'). This is the pin triage set on security(automation): flow create_record and update_record nodes write the stored-metadata family tables directly, outside the metadata protocol (measured; the unruled neighbour of #21519) #21624 ("a flow that names a family target statically is refused at save") on route A, in the one judge the card named.
2. Every door inherits it — RIGHT. FlowSchema.parse, defineFlow, defineStack (STACK_SCHEMA_INVALID / 422 at flows.N.nodes.M.config.objectName), ObjectStackDefinitionSchema (the parse objectstack validate runs), the registered flow type schema (the metadata save door), ArtifactStagePackageBodySchema, and registerFlow, which parses first inside canonicalizeStoredFlow (engine.ts, verified at the head). packages/lint's validateStackExpressions emits every refusal the judge returns as error in one generic loop, so the new code reaches lint with no lint change. Each door is pinned in flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target.test.ts; registerFlow is pinned in the re-expressed service-automation file.
3. What stays accepted — RIGHT, and exactly the run-time set. A get_record node (a read), a dynamic objectName (a {token} template is never a family name by exact match; an expression envelope is not a string), every other object, and the near-miss names (SYS_METADATA, sys_metadata_draft, a leading space). The lit controls pin each, and one test asserts refused-iff-isStoredMetadataBodyObject over the probe set, so the save-time set cannot drift from the predicate.
4. Closed refusal-code set widened — RIGHT. write-node-stored-metadata-target with params: { nodeType, objectName } is registered in FlowSlotRefusalParams, the FlowNodeConfigRefusalCode union and FLOW_SLOT_REFUSAL_CODE_TABLE (flow-node-expression-paths.ts); the mapped-type pin table in flow-slot-refusal-codes.test.ts gains its row (three cases, exact message) and the sweep reaches the three write nodes. A type-level widening for any exhaustive consumer, declared in the changeset body.
5. Public-surface widening: one kernel export — RIGHT. STORED_METADATA_BODY_PRESCRIPTION is declared in the leaf kernel/stored-metadata-body-objects.ts and re-exported from kernel/metadata-type-redaction.ts, so @objectstack/spec/kernel publishes it; api-surface/kernel.json and export-origins/kernel.json each gain exactly that line. The three continuation lines of the constant removed from data/hook.zod.ts and the three added in the leaf diff as identical, so HookSchema's refusal message is unchanged; the one-sentence test pins that the kernel re-export equals the leaf's and that the hook and flow messages both end on it.
6. hook.zod.ts confined to the declared region — RIGHT. Two hunks only: the import line (about line 15) and the constant plus the three comment lines describing it (about lines 103–113). The handler doc region [Decision] security(objectql): may a hook's handler name bind to a function another package registered (the engine-wide fallback HookSchema.handler declares), or does name resolution stay inside the hook's own package (#21585 option B) #21604 holds is untouched, as the claim's serial constraint required.
7. ADR-0087 kit — RIGHT. D3 semantic entry flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target-refused at protocol 18, in entries/semantic/18.flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target-refused.ts with registry.ts regenerated from it (gen:migration-registry, the same two-place shape the hook precedent 18.hook-body-stored-metadata-target-refused has). Its rationale fragment takes order 74: on origin/main at 38bef8cf95 the STEP18 fragments top out at 73, so 74 is free, and the registry delta is +61 / −0. No tombstone (no key is removed; objectName stays in every write-node contract, pinned against RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR) and no D2 conversion (a refused node carries no intent a rewrite could keep) — both correct for a pure accept-set narrowing. The surface string carries no backticks or pipes, as its own comment requires.
8. Runtime unchanged; the run-time guard keeps an executable pin — RIGHT. No service-automation source file changes; storedMetadataWriteRefusal in builtin/crud-nodes.ts still ships. The one test file on the revised surface gains registerForRun: for a definition with a static family target it first asserts the save-time refusal (registerFlow throws, exactly one custom issue per family write node at its path, each naming the metadata protocol, getFlow answers null, the table snapshot unchanged), then reaches the run-time guard with a definition the parse never judged — registered under the non-existent stand-in pin_stand_in_target and retargeted on the parsed object the engine holds, with getFlow read back to confirm the family table sits at every original path. It leans on this.flows.set(name, parsed) / return parsed and on execute reading the stored object, neither touched by this PR, and both read back so a copy, freeze or re-parse goes red rather than silent. Every pre-existing run-time assertion is kept. The file imports only workspace packages and its own ../plugin.js / ../engine.js, so it declares no cross-package source read; its FAMILY literal predates this PR and is a pin, not a second definition. This is option A of the dev's open question, as the claim revision chose, test-only and with no engine seam.
9. Stored rows and census — RIGHT. Zero shipped or platform writers measured at 417443eb27; a stored flow carrying such a node is refused whole at boot registration with a warn naming it, which the changeset states. Consistent with the ruling and with "no D2 conversion".
10. Messages carry no tracker number — RIGHT. The refusal text names the node type, the table, the run-time verbs and ends on the shared prescription; the ADR entry's replacement and acceptanceCriteria are number-free. Nothing in the diff's added lines names a model.

② Semver level

• .changeset/21654-flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target-refused.md grades @objectstack/spec: minor, marks the change BREAKING, carries Clause-②: yes (narrowing), the adr-0087 registered disposition marker naming flow-write-node-stored-metadata-target-refused, a FROM → TO table, the one-line fix and the measured census. Matches what the diff publishes. (narrowing) is BREAKING and yes takes at least minor; a breaking change ships as minor under the launch-window convention check-changeset-no-major.mjs enforces, and check-adr-0087-registration.mjs reads the registered arm there. The changeset names exactly the two tables the leaf set holds (sys_metadata, sys_metadata_history). The two widenings — one kernel export, one refusal code — ride inside the same minor and are declared in its body.
• Only @objectstack/spec is graded, correctly: the service-automation change is test-only and publishes nothing. No skip-changeset label, correctly. Check Changeset concluded success on the head.
• Clause-②: line. The PR body's second line reads Clause-②: yes (narrowing); the changeset carries the same; the dispatch claim declared the same. Consistent with each other and with the diff: an accept-set narrowing on a packages/spec/src schema.
• Landing class: none of the 13 paths is a governed surface; 681 changed lines, under the 5,000 threshold; head repo equals base repo. The seven required contexts all concluded success on a9d2d5d453: Lint & Repo Gates, TypeScript Type Check, Test Core (6/6), Dogfood Regression Gate (3/3), Build Core, Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL), Governed Surface Queue Guard. No check-run on the head concluded failure (42 runs: success, or skipped by path filter). The PR is still draft with auto-merge unarmed; readying and queueing are the owning seat's acts after this record.

③ Boundary flags

Round-1 report 5977064791 (deviations 1–10, open question 1), claim revision 5977090032, round-2 report 5977419631 (deviations 1–7), and the out-of-scope findings.

• R1-1 (blocked: 12 red run-time pins off-surface): resolved by the claim revision and round 2; Test Core is success on the head. Answered.
• R1-2 (five forced files beyond the named list; flow.zod.ts comment left stale): the five are accepted onto the surface by 5977090032, and each is verified necessary — the closed-set type forces the code row and its per-code pin, the re-export line is what publishes the sentence, the two artefacts regenerate from it. The "Two arms" comment in flow.zod.ts is outside the revised surface and carries no behaviour; accepted as the dev's noted follow-up (below). Answered.
• R1-3 (three comment lines above the moved constant rewritten): accepted by 5977090032; the diff shows two hunks and no touch on the handler region. Answered.
• R1-4 (79 vs 12/13 paths): methodology only; the net diff against the merge-base is 13 files. Answered.
• R1-5 / R2-5 (two os-regen-merge.sh merges; order 71 → 74; no third merge): verified — STEP18 tops out at 73 on current origin/main, 74 is free; the four main commits since the merge-base touch only .changeset/* among the touched packages, so no further merge was owed. Answered.
• R1-6 (registerFlow door proven by a trace, os validate by a deleted CLI probe): superseded — round 2 commits a registerFlow pin, and the spec test pins ObjectStackDefinitionSchema, the parse the CLI runs. The CLI binary itself is not pinned in this PR; the schema is the door, acceptable. Answered.
• R1-7 / R2-7 (attribution): the five non-merge commits carry the model-free trailer pair; the PR body ends on the session-URL footer; the diff's added lines name no model. Correct. Answered.
• R1-8 (labeler labels left as another actor's state): correct. Answered.
• R1-9, R1-10, R2-3, R2-6 (a cut-off resumed after re-reading the claim; read-only commands outside the verify lock; an ablation attempt the tool refused as ambiguous, writing nothing; 56 of 72 turbo tasks replayed from the shared cache): informational. The verdicts above rest on the head's check-runs, built fresh, not on the local readings. Answered.
• R1 open question 1: answered A by the PM in 5977090032; round 2 implements A and the diff matches it (judgment 8). Closed.
• R2-1 (the try_catch flow's save-time path is nodes.1.config.try.nodes.0.config.objectName, not the dispatch's nodes.1.config.objectName): correct — the region path is the author's path; both test files assert it. Answered.
• R2-2 (the route relies on two engine behaviours, read back): verified at engine.ts; test-only; unchanged by this PR; fails loudly on change. Within the claim revision's "another test-only route … must not depend on an engine behaviour this PR changes". Answered.
• R2-4 (body refresh refused until the docs-drift advisory was acknowledged): correct tool use. Answered.
• Out-of-scope findings, noted not filed — ESCALATED to the PM, not blocking. (a) service-automation's storedMetadataWriteRefusal and the runtime body boundary's private PRESCRIPTION can now import STORED_METADATA_BODY_PRESCRIPTION; the run-time spelling runAs: 'system' against the shared runAs, a system context is wording drift, not a declared-but-unenforced capability. The card body and the dispatch both name this follow-up, and it has no carrier card: file it, so the one-sentence goal the card set is closed out. (b) the flow.zod.ts "Two arms" count and (c) the lint call-site comment are stale counts in comments with no behaviour; fold them into (a)'s card.
• Cross-lane: the claim revision records a declaration on seat post [PM seat] domain:services · seat 2 — 🟢 os-bill · session_01DiCSbmJrkzNhuEAier4VoJ · R1 #21118 and the round-2 report records no objection from domain:services. That thread is outside this brief's inputs and was not re-read; the record relies on the card's own account of it.
