A system-context write skips value-shape validation for readonly fields: a seed's malformed readonly datetime ('yesterday', an unresolved cel envelope) is stored verbatim, while the same value on a non-readonly field is refused

Filing gate: ① a product defect, class (a). A write door stores a value whose shape the field's type refuses.

reach: the seed loader on boot (SeedLoaderService.load through the kernel's ObjectQL). Measured by A seed row's explicit created_at is overwritten with the boot instant on INSERT (seed context sets no preserveAudit), yet written on the upsert UPDATE of a later boot — seeds cannot backdate creation time consistently #21646's dev on an in-package rig (not a full os boot), at PR fix(objectql): a seed row keeps its authored created_at on insert, as the replay already does #21661's head e5a2555da6.

Filed by domain:engine seat 1 (seat post #6367, session_017ErfyP2Rx7XWHJA27QjyUi), from #21646's os-dev report (out_of_scope_findings[0], PR #21661). Reader who acts: triage grades and routes. ⛔ Not a claim.

Measured (the dev's throwaway probes, deleted)

A literal 'yesterday' authored on a readonly datetime field in a seed is stored verbatim, with no error.
The same literal on a non-readonly datetime is refused (must be a valid datetime (ISO-8601)) and counted as a seed error.
An unresolved cel envelope landed in created_at through engine.update under the seed context, on the replay path. That happened before PR fix(objectql): a seed row keeps its authored created_at on insert, as the replay already does #21661 too.
A raw cel envelope also lands verbatim in a readonly field when a seeder skips resolveSeedRecord: AppPlugin's two fallback inserts, and @objectstack/verify's seed().

Mechanism (read)

A system-context write skips value-shape validation for readonly fields. The readonly strip and the shape check share one branch, so exempting the system writer from the strip also exempts its value from the shape check.

Why it matters now

PR fix(objectql): a seed row keeps its authored created_at on insert, as the replay already does #21661 (A seed row's explicit created_at is overwritten with the boot instant on INSERT (seed context sets no preserveAudit), yet written on the upsert UPDATE of a later boot — seeds cannot backdate creation time consistently #21646) keeps an authored created_at on a seed insert, as triage's ruling asks.
Before it, the insert path overwrote any authored value with the boot instant, so a malformed created_at reached storage only on the replay update. Now it reaches storage on the insert too.
The ruling is right to keep the authored value. The defect is that a malformed value is accepted at all.

Candidate home (triage's call, not a ruling)

Validate a readonly field's value shape on a system write: refuse a malformed value loudly, as the non-readonly path does, rather than store it.

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:engine` · `area:records` · `pm:queue`. A system writer is exempt from the readonly strip, never from the value-shape check

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-04T02:58Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p2. A malformed value is stored silently in a typed field. Since PR #21661 (#21646) it also reaches storage on the seed insert path, not only the replay.

Routing: the shared readonly-strip / shape-check branch in packages/objectql (validation/rule-validator.ts), so domain:engine.

Ruling.

Split the branch. The readonly strip keeps its system-context exemption, and the value-shape check runs for every write.
A malformed readonly value is refused loudly with the same message the non-readonly path gives, and a seed counts it as a seed error.
⛔ No silent coercion.
Foreseen follow-up: the seeders that skip resolveSeedRecord (AppPlugin's two fallback inserts, and @objectstack/verify's seed()) will now surface as loud refusals instead of storing raw cel envelopes. The claim lists them, and if they need a fix in another lane it files that card. ⛔ No silent pass.

Pins:

'yesterday' on a readonly datetime in a seed is refused;
a valid ISO value on a readonly field under the seed context is kept;
the non-readonly path is unchanged.

packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts: the shared readonly-strip and shape-check branch is split.
- The readonly strip keeps its system-context exemption.
- The value-shape check runs for every write.
- A malformed readonly value is refused with the same message the non-readonly path gives. ⛔ No silent coercion.
The foreseen follow-up, listed by the claim: the seeders that skip resolveSeedRecord (AppPlugin's two fallback inserts, and @objectstack/verify's seed()) now surface loud refusals. If they need a fix in another lane, the claim files that card. ⛔ No silent pass.

Clause-②: no (narrowing)
A system-context write's accept set narrows: a malformed readonly value is refused, where it used to be stored. Nothing widens.
The narrowing kit applies.

"summary": "A system writer keeps its exemption from the static readonly strip, and the value that exemption keeps is now judged for its SHAPE wherever the payload is final. That is on insert and the dry run in the same call, and on both update paths in a second pass after the strip (the first pass stays ahead of the strip at scope 'skip'). A malformed readonly value, such as a seed's 'yesterday', a raw cel envelope or a malformed authored created_at, is refused with VALIDATION_FAILED / 400, the non-readonly field code and the non-readonly sentence, and the seed loader counts it as a seed error; a non-system caller's readonly value is still dropped, never refused. The fix lives in packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts (ReadonlyValueScope plus a module-internal validateRecordInScope, so the published validateRecord signature is unchanged) and the engine.ts seams. rule-validator.ts, which partition 2 named, holds the strip and gets docs only. A readonly value reaches the type's shape arms only (temporal, numeric type, boolean, multi-value array, filter-operator object, ADR-0104 shapes under the object's posture), never a constraint (option membership, bounds, valueDomain, email/url/phone formats, required). That boundary keeps the maintainer's open-vocabulary ruling on sys_activity.type (commit 88b9d74).",

With #21646's pin file beside it: 'Tests 14 passed (14)'. objectql: 'vitest run --project local --maxWorkers=2' gives 'Test Files 372 passed (372) / Tests 7455 passed (7455)' and '--project repo' gives 'Tests 5 passed (5)', both at e6b5281. The only later change is the pin file's row-key rename, rerun green.

The first full objectql run (at 04c009a) had 2 reds out of 7455; both fixtures were re-judged, not relaxed (see deviations), and the rerun gave 387/387 for the two files.

Option membership is held out by the maintainer ruling recorded at commit 88b9d74 (sys_activity.type, a readonly select, is an open vocabulary; its object file says 'Do not fix this by enforcing the enum on system-owned writes'). It is also held out by two published ADR-0087 semantic entries whose operative claim is that a write naming a retired sys_audit_log.action is not refused.

Landed: PR #21695 → 8843505d91 on main (merged 2026-10-04T07:48Z through the merge queue, entered 2026-10-04T07:13Z), verified at 2026-10-04T07:49Z. domain:engine#1 · session_017ErfyP2Rx7XWHJA27QjyUi.

The squash is on origin/main as a single-parent commit. Its diffstat is the reviewed one: 7 files, +672/-40. That is the original +672/-42 plus patch round 1's net +2.
The split is on main: validateRecordInScope and ReadonlyValueScope appear in packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts.
Fixes #21663 closed this card as completed. pm:dispatched is removed in this act. No other card was closed by the body.
From this release on, a system write (seed, migration, isSystem) that keeps a readonly value has that value's SHAPE judged. A malformed value is refused with VALIDATION_FAILED / 400 and the non-readonly sentence, and a seed counts it as a seed error. Constraints (options, bounds, formats) stay out by the open-vocabulary ruling. The release ships it as a minor with the BREAKING banner.
Patch round 1 fixed an ADR-0020 symbol anchor that CI caught. The gap that hid it from the local gate union is filed as [finding] dispatch-gates derives the symbol-anchor sweeps only from their corpus paths, so a change that removes an anchored symbol from a TARGET file passes every local gate and reds CI #21697.
Noted, not filed (no public-door reach measured):
- owner_id skips the shape check;
- AppPlugin's fallback seeders log a refused row at warn only;
- two ADR-0087 entries give "validateRecord skips readonly" as their reason;
- the dry run skips normalizeMultiValueFields.

A system-context write skips value-shape validation for readonly fields: a seed's malformed readonly datetime (`'yesterday'`, an unresolved `cel` envelope) is stored verbatim, while the same value on a non-readonly field is refused #21663
