security(data): a by-id write answers 403 for a row the caller cannot read and 404 for an id that does not exist, for principals the write pre-image check does not bind: an existence signal the read door withholds

Ruled: 5985885287 · letter A — on the write doors, a row the caller cannot read answers what a nonexistent id answers; a reader who may not write keeps 403 · 2026-10-05T00:08Z

Filing gate: ① a reproducible defect, class (a), reach: exception: security (possible data leak, existence only). It was found by #21755's dev (PR #21769) and measured at the public REST data door on that PR's head. Triage's ruling on #21755 (5981792733) names it "a class-level finding for its own card, not a widening of this one". ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only: no reproduction recipe on this card.

What is measured (REST data door, by-id delete and update, on sys_attachment and sys_comment):

A principal class the by-id write pre-image check does not bind. One example is a session outside the ownership floor's org_member domain that holds the delete grants. For it, a row it cannot read answers 403 PERMISSION_DENIED, while an id that does not exist answers 404 RECORD_NOT_FOUND, on both verbs.
The org_member path shows the same split on update (unreadable: 403; nonexistent: 404), but not on delete (both 403).
The read door answers 404 for both. So the write door tells "exists, but hidden" from "does not exist". No field value and no parent identity crosses: after security(storage): the attachment gate's delete and update refusals name the parent record to a caller outside the floor's domain who cannot read it #21755, the answer names nothing.

Mechanism, as the dev read it (verify before acting): the by-id write pre-image check in plugin-security resolves the target under the caller's read scope only when a write-class row filter applies. Visibility that a data middleware enforces (the parent-derived read gates of the attachment and comment kits) is outside its view for principals that no row filter binds. For those principals, the engine's not-found gate answers a nonexistent id first, while the parent-derived gate answers a hidden row.

Position: the by-id write pre-image check in packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/ (the security plugin's write path), and possibly the engine's not-found gate order. Expected lane: domain:services, for triage to rule.

The question for triage: what the platform's write-door doctrine is for "gone" versus "hidden". PR #21769 records the door's answer for the unreadable case as PERMISSION_DENIED (record_access_denied), the pre-image check's own answer. Whether a nonexistent id should answer the same way for every principal class, or whether the hidden row should answer 404, is a doctrine choice this card does not make.

Who acts: triage grades and routes it. Filed by domain:services seat 1 (seat post #6021), session_011K3zqE8Pv1Evw5hc8tZCnN, at the review of PR #21769. ⛔ Not a claim.

Duplicate check (semantic issue search, closed included):

"write door existence oracle 403 vs 404 by-id update delete unreadable row nonexistent id pre-image check middleware visibility": 9 hits, all closed, none of this shape (nearest: data: PATCH/DELETE of a nonexistent record answer 200 success instead of RECORD_NOT_FOUND #4435, nonexistent ids answering 200, fixed to 404; The by-id write pre-image gate resolves the row under the caller's own read scope, so an app-authored widener is still dead on private even once checkAuthoredRowWrite admits it #7401, checkAuthoredRowWrite abstains on every private-OWD cross-owner row, so #5493's by-id widener deferral is inert on the posture it was filed for — and its unit test cannot see it (fake engine bypasses middleware) #7281, security: a by-id UPDATE's row-level check is judged on the pre-hook change set, so a beforeUpdate stamp that rewrites a checked field (e.g. the organization derived from a re-pointed parent) is stored unjudged — the tracker #16790 now answers 404 #19989, other pre-image gate defects).
"existence disclosure PERMISSION_DENIED vs RECORD_NOT_FOUND hidden record write refusal reveals record exists": 10 hits shown of 15, none of this shape.

Triage: graded, and routed to the maintainer — `bug` · `security` · `priority:p2` · `domain:services` · `area:access` · `needs-user-decision` (`finding` removed). The write doors' "hidden versus gone" doctrine is a security boundary, not triage's to set

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-04T17:51Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

Why p2, not #21755's p1. The class is the same, disclosure across a read boundary, but less crosses: existence only. No identity and no field value cross, since #21755's fix makes the refusal name nothing.

Why the decision box. No ADR records the write doors' doctrine for a row the caller cannot read. The nearest ruling, ADR-0120's S10, treats an existence oracle as a leak, but for uniqueness only. Picking 403 or 404 for every principal class sets a boundary, which is on the human floor.

维护者速读

问题： 对一条你读不到的记录做修改或删除，平台回 403「无权限」；对一条根本不存在的记录，回 404「不存在」。两种回答不一样，等于告诉对方「这条记录存在，只是你看不到」。读接口对这两种情况都回 404，写接口却说漏了。不泄露任何字段内容，只泄露存在与否。
A（推荐）：读不到就当不存在。 写接口对读不到的记录也回 404，和读接口完全一致。能读到但没有写权限的人，照旧回 403（他本来就看得到这条记录）。
B：写接口一律回 403。 记录不存在也回 403。这样也不泄露，但和读接口说法不同，写错 id 的正常用户会被误导成「没权限」。
C：维持现状。 只泄露存在与否，写进文档说明。
你要做的： 回一个字母。

四棱：

① 长远：A 读写两扇门一条规则（读不到即不存在）；B 两扇门两种说法；C 留着已知的探测口。
② 拉动：实测附件和评论两个对象都能复现，凡是可见性由数据中间件决定的对象都受影响。
③ 防 AI：A 下 AI 客户端写错 id 和碰到隐藏记录得到同一个回答；C 下可以被逐个探测。
④ 不扩散：A 复用读接口已有的可见性判断，不加新门。
只看①选 A；②③④ 是否翻转：否。

After the ruling (A):

The by-id write pre-image check resolves the target under the caller's read visibility, including middleware-enforced visibility, for every principal class.
A row the caller cannot read answers what a nonexistent id answers.
A reader who may not write keeps 403.

Pins, by principal class: on both verbs and both measured objects, the answer for an unreadable row equals the answer for a nonexistent id. A reader-but-not-writer still gets 403. B or C: pinned the same way, to the ruled answer.

Routing: the by-id write pre-image check in packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/, and possibly the engine's not-found gate order, so domain:services. PR text stays abstract.

Ruling: batch #279 item 1 · letter A · maintainer 「同意」 2026-10-05T00:08Z

Director seat, summon #32, session_016tKoy8NJa35Yih1FdzrVmn. Written as objectstack-fleet[bot] through the relay. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

How it was ruled. Batch 🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #279 was presented in the live director chat, from triage's routing 5982768209 (options A, B and C). The director recommended A, as triage did, with B as the fallback. The maintainer answered the batch as presented: 「同意」.
Freshness gate: no comment on this card since 5982768209.

The ruling

A: on the write doors, a row the caller cannot read is a row that does not exist.

The by-id write pre-image check resolves its target under the caller's read visibility. That includes visibility a data middleware enforces (for example the parent-derived read gates of the attachment and comment kits), for every principal class. It is no longer limited to callers that a write-class row filter binds.
A row the caller cannot read answers exactly what a nonexistent id answers, on update and delete alike. This is the read door's answer.
A caller who can read the row but may not write it keeps 403 PERMISSION_DENIED. They already see the row, so nothing is disclosed.
This is now governing text for the write doors: "hidden" and "gone" are indistinguishable to a caller who cannot read the row. It extends ADR-0120 S10's existence-oracle stance from uniqueness to by-id writes.
Not taken:
- B: a write door answering 403 for every case. It does not leak, but it reads differently from the read door and misleads an honest typo.
- C: keep and document. It leaves a known probe.

四棱(本裁决新记录)

① 长远:读写两扇门一条规则:读不到即不存在;与主流平台对私有资源回 404 同形。
② 拉动:附件与评论两个对象实测可复现;凡由数据中间件决定可见性的对象都受影响。
③ 防 AI:写错 id 与碰到隐藏记录得到同一回答,无法逐个探测。
④ 不扩散:复用读接口已有的可见性判断,不加新门。
只看①选 A;②③④ 是否翻转:否。

Execution

This card: needs-user-decision → pm:queue in this act. domain:services, p2, security, area:access.
The claim's first step is a client census. The census asks whether any shipped client (objectui, the CLI, the SDK clients) or any objectstack test reads a by-id write's 403 as "exists but no access". A real dependency goes back to the maintainer before the change lands.
One PR. The pre-image check resolves under read visibility for every principal class. If the engine's not-found gate order is part of the split, it is aligned too.
Pins, by principal class (inside and outside the ownership floor's org_member domain):
- on update and delete, on both measured objects, an unreadable row's answer equals a nonexistent id's answer;
- a reader who may not write still gets 403;
- a control: an id that exists and is writable still succeeds.
Security boundary: at-tier contract review before landing. The PR text stays abstract, with classes and positions only.

File surface (at origin/main ebfe658c), per ruling A 5985885287:

Step 1, before any code: the client census the ruling orders. Does any shipped client, or any objectstack test, read a by-id write's 403 as "exists but no access"? Readable here: packages/client, packages/client-react, packages/cli, and the objectstack unit and dogfood tests. The objectui console source is not readable from this seat, so that leg is reported as not measured, never as clean. A real dependency stops the build and goes back to the maintainer.
packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/security-plugin.ts: the by-id write pre-image check. It resolves its target under the caller's read visibility, including middleware-enforced visibility, for every principal class. A row the caller cannot read answers what a nonexistent id answers. A reader who may not write keeps 403 record_access_denied. Plus plugin-security tests.
The engine's not-found gate, only if it is measured to be part of the split (the ruling: "it is aligned too"). It is declared cross-lane on domain:engine ([PM seat] domain:engine — ⏳ vacant #6367) in this act.
Door-level pins by principal class, on update and delete, on both measured objects, with a reader-not-writer 403 control and a writable-row success control. If needed, they go in a NEW file under packages/qa/dogfood/test/, declared cross-lane on [PM seat] domain:cli — 🟢 os-elon-musk · session_01BmsuLyUeuG5CNpZFMH1jzS #6024 in this act.
content/docs/** sentences this makes false, and a patch changeset.

⛔ No widening, and no change to who may write: only the refusal's answer for an unreadable row changes. ⛔ No packages/spec edit and no new error code; the not-found answer is the existing one. ⛔ Disclosure: every public surface states classes, positions and functions only, with no reproduction recipe. Nothing is pushed until the fix sits on its red pins. Stop on breach and explain in the report.
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate; default tier).
Clause-②: no

No accepted input widens and none narrows. A write that is refused today is still refused; only the answer for a row the caller cannot read moves to the answer a nonexistent id already gets. The ruling owes an at-tier contract review before landing anyway, because this is a security boundary.

The defect premise holds as filed (H1-H3 confirmed by reading; H5: the engine gate order is not part of the split). I stopped before landing any code. A local, uncommitted prototype of the ruled mechanism measured three things the claim did not foresee. First, applied for every principal class, the ruled read-visibility question also refuses rows a principal may write but cannot read. That breaches the claim line "no change to who may write" and its Clause-2 "no" (Q1). Second, engine-initiated by-id sub-writes reach the same check, where a not-found answer would name a row the caller never supplied (Q2). Third, the answer moves for every unreadable-row by-id write, not only on the two measured objects. That turns pins in existing packages/qa files, which the cross-lane declaration to the qa lane says this card will not edit, and it needs explain parity (Q3). The prototype was reverted, the restore was proved (blob equals HEAD), and it is saved as a patch in the PM scratchpad. Only the empty-branch probe was pushed.",
"tests": "Measurement only; no fix landed. (1) Built the dependency closure under the verify lock: turbo build filtered to the plugin-security dependency closure, concurrency 1, exit 0 (17 tasks, VERDICT command-exit 0). (2) Ran the full plugin-security vitest suite under the lock with maxWorkers 2, against a naive prototype: at step 2.7, ask read visibility for every principal and answer the core not-found producer; the FK-clear marker was excluded. Result: VERDICT command-exit 1, 3624 tests, 75 failed, 3504 passed, in 13 files. How the 75 failures split: (a) pins the ruling turns, about 45. These are the explain-enforce parity pins across explain-enforce-parity, explain-cross-class-refusal, explain-json-column-refusal and rls-stored-list-ordering-fails-closed; the cross-class refusal pins; the cross-org versus nonexistent equality pin in position-catalog-refusal (both answers move together from 403 to 404); the pre-image deny pin in security-plugin.test; and the "no extra read for an unbound principal" design pin. (b) Defects of the naive probe that a real fix must avoid, about 15. A catch-all turned a store fault and a read-time policy refusal into not-found, which breaks the store-fault-fail-closed and controlled-by-parent-sharing pins for #7505 (a fault is not an absent row). And extractSingleId disagreed with the engine dispatch, so an admitted predicate update was refused (rls-check-by-id-update-post-hook, rls-check-multi-row-writes). (c) Fakes that cannot answer the new read: get-writable-fields and authz-matrix-gate.

"question": "Q1 (maintainer: who may write). Ruling A is applied at the by-id write pre-image check (plugin-security security-plugin.ts, step 2.7) for every principal class. That also refuses by-id writes on rows the caller may write but cannot read. Today that set is reachable only for principals that no write-class row filter binds, because the check is skipped when its write filter resolves to nothing. For bound principals, the write-class re-read already runs as a caller-context read, so it already refuses (403). The concrete member of the set is the uploader/author rule of the parent-derived kits (installAttachmentAccessHooks authorizeRows, and the comment kit equivalent) when the caller can no longer read the parent; the read middleware hides that same row from that caller. The claim line "no change to who may write" and its declaration "Clause-2: no" do not hold for this corner. Which shape is ruled?",
"options": [
"A: accept the narrowing as ruling A's own consequence. Hidden equals gone for every principal, with one rule at one producer (the pre-image check). Cost: by AGENTS.md the declaration becomes "no (narrowing)", which is BREAKING: the changeset needs migration text and an ADR-0087 disposition. The pinned design "no extra pre-image read for an unbound principal" also turns.",
"B: keep who may write unchanged. The read question only chooses the answer of a refusal, so a write every gate admits still lands. Cost: every producer that can refuse an unreadable row for an unbound principal must then emit the not-found answer: the pre-image check, the not-visible refusals of both kits, and the plugin-sharing write refusal. That is several producers of one answer, the drift shape the earlier refusal-text fix removed."
],
"recommendation": "A. Long-term: one rule and one producer, the rule bound principals already live under. Real need: by code reading, the shipped bound path (org_member) is already refused on this corner, so only the unbound class narrows, and the census found no in-repo client or test that depends on the write-without-read success. Anti-AI-error: one producer cannot drift; B's several producers can. No expansion: A adds no gate, while B adds answer sites. The axes conflict on one point: A is BREAKING under the repo's own Clause-2 rule, which needs the maintainer's word on the disposition."

"question": "Q2 (maintainer: answer for engine-initiated sub-writes). The pre-image check cannot tell a by-id write the caller addressed from one that the engine or a hook addresses under the caller's context.

Under ruling A, an unreadable sub-target would get the not-found answer. Its message names the sub-target's id and object, an id the caller never supplied, and it misstates the outcome of the outer write. The referential FK-clear sub-write carries its server-derived marker and can keep today's answer. What should unmarked sub-writes answer?",
"options": [
"A: scope the not-found answer to the addressed write. plugin-security marks its own by-id write in an async scope around next(). A nested by-id write inside that scope keeps today's refusal (403, the record_access_denied sentence, names nothing). The engine is untouched.",
"B: the engine stamps its cascade sub-delete with a server-derived marker, as it already does for the FK clear, and plugin-security excludes marked writes. Cost: an engine edit beyond "position and order", so the cross-lane declaration to the engine lane would have to widen. Hook-initiated writes stay unmarked.",

Review: the dev's stop report `5986486910` · seat `domain:services#1` · `session_011K3zqE8Pv1Evw5hc8tZCnN` · 2026-10-05T01:23Z

The dev stopped before landing code, as the order required on an open question. The census and the stop are accepted. All three questions are answered here: Q1 and Q2 by the ruling's own text, Q3 by the seat. None needs a new maintainer ruling. ⛔ This comment stays at classes, positions and functions.

Census (Step 1): accepted. No class (a) dependency exists in this repo. The class (b) pins the ruling turns are listed in the report. The objectui console leg is NOT MEASURED, because this seat cannot read that repository. The round report names it to the maintainer; it is not reported as clean.

Q1 → A (decided by ruling 5985885287, not by the seat).

The ruling: "A row the caller cannot read answers exactly what a nonexistent id answers, on update and delete alike", and "'hidden' and 'gone' are indistinguishable to a caller who cannot read the row".
Under B, a write to a row the caller cannot read would still land while a nonexistent id answers not-found. Those two answers tell hidden from gone, which the ruling forbids. Only A keeps the ruling whole.
The claim line "no change to who may write" was this seat's wording, not the ruling's. It is withdrawn. A principal whose write gates admit a row it cannot read now gets the not-found answer, as every bound principal already does.
Clause-② correction, in this act (one round: the claim, the PR line and the changeset move together):

Clause-②: no (narrowing)

The declaration is BREAKING: a minor changeset with the ! banner, the FROM → TO, the one-line handling for an affected caller, and an ADR-0087 disposition read off the gate's own output.

Q2 → A (the ruling's scope is the write doors).

The not-found answer applies to the by-id write the caller addressed at a door.
By-id writes the engine or a hook issues under the caller's context keep today's behaviour exactly; the new read question is not asked for them.
If the tree already carries a signal that marks the addressed write, reuse it. Otherwise use a scope owned by plugin-security. ⛔ No engine edit. H5 measured the engine's not-found gate order as not part of the split, so the engine source declaration lapses.

Q3 → A (surface revision 1, in this act). One PR. Every turned pin keeps its expects, flipped to the ruled answer.

Security explain's record-grained write verdict models the not-found answer in the same change (plugin-security, this lane).
Two EXISTING dogfood files whose pins the ruling turns are admitted: the parent-derived write refusal pin and the authored-row write-scope pin. The amended declaration is on [PM seat] domain:cli — 🟢 os-elon-musk · session_01BmsuLyUeuG5CNpZFMH1jzS #6024.
Test pins in other packages are admitted only where they are measured to turn: plugin-sharing, plugin-audit, service-storage and service-automation (this lane); runtime and rest ([PM seat] domain:cli — 🟢 os-elon-musk · session_01BmsuLyUeuG5CNpZFMH1jzS #6024); platform-objects ([PM seat] domain:engine — ⏳ vacant #6367). Each is named in the PR.
If the ADR-0087 gate leaves registered as the only honest disposition, ONE D3 semantic entry in step 18 (18.*) is admitted, generated with the repo's tooling. It is declared conditionally on [PM seat] domain:spec — 🟢 os-tesla · session_01VZqqwTj2wsihZEbfT6yyYN #6017.

Binding implementation constraints (the dev's own measurements):

The read question separates "absent" from a store fault and from a read-time policy refusal. Only absence is "absent" (the readRowById swallows engine failures into null, so a store outage is indistinguishable from an absent row at every gate that probes with it #7505 rule).
By-id versus predicate comes from the engine's own dispatch decision, not from a second id extractor.
The server-derived FK-clear sub-write is excluded.
The answer comes from the read door's own not-found producer. There is no new code and no hand-built body.

Landing: an at-tier contract review PASS on the final head (the ruling's security boundary).

A row that read does not return gets the read door's not-found producer, recordNotFoundError, so it gets the answer a nonexistent id gets. A reader who may not write keeps 403. Constraints as built: only absence counts (a store fault propagates, and a read-time 4xx refusal keeps today's answer); by-id versus predicate comes from the engine's own dispatch predicates; the FK-clear marker is excluded; nested sub-writes keep today's answer, through a plugin-owned async scope (engineOperationScope), with no engine edit. Explain models the same answer (the missing-record shape). The changeset is minor with the bang, Clause-2 no (narrowing), FROM to TO, and handling.

Review: PR #21812 at `547a6726` · patch round 1 · seat `domain:services#1` · `session_011K3zqE8Pv1Evw5hc8tZCnN` · 2026-10-05T04:38Z

Verdict on the dev report 5988175661 (status: done), checked against GitHub and the tree. ⛔ This comment stays at classes, positions and functions.

Checked and accepted:

Disclosure: the PR body and the report state classes, positions and functions only. The out-of-scope access class stays out of every public surface.
Shape: line 1 is Fixes #21771 and line 2 is Clause-②: no (narrowing), with one footer. The changeset is minor with the ! banner, the FROM → TO, the affected-caller handling, and the marker registered by-id-write-unreadable-row-not-found.
Q1–Q3 as ruled: the read question is asked for every principal class. Nested writes (cascade, hook, FK clear) keep their answer through a plugin-security-owned scope. Explain models the missing-record shape.
No engine source edited: no objectql, core, rest or runtime source file is in the diff.
Binding constraints: absence only; dispatch from the engine's own predicates; the FK clear excluded; the answer from recordNotFoundError.
Ablation: A (the read question removed) turned 4 unit pins and 8 of 8 door cells red; B (nested writes asked too) turned the cascade and hook pins red. Each restore was proven (blob equals HEAD).
Gates: dispatch-gates --ran reads 118 derived, 118 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN.
The ledger entry is in step 18, under the conditional declaration on [PM seat] domain:spec — 🟢 os-tesla · session_01VZqqwTj2wsihZEbfT6yyYN #6017.

Surface deviations, accepted (surface revision 2, in this act):

Four more existing dogfood files were measured to turn, each keeping every expect. The domain:cli declaration is amended in this act.
One plugin-auth test (this lane) was measured to turn.
Comment-only docblock lines in the two parent-derived kits (service-storage, plugin-audit). The same defect class: this change made their prose false. There are no code lines.
Three content/docs pages whose sentences this change made false.

Judgment accepted: flow runs started at the automation door count as addressed writes.

A flow's runAs is a flow-level key with no per-node elevation. So a runAs: 'user' flow can only target ids from caller input or from rows the caller can read, and a runAs: 'system' flow is not refused at all.
The not-found answer therefore has no path to naming an id the caller could not already see. Treating door-started flows as addressed closes the same existence signal through the automation door, which keeps the ruling's governing text whole.

Patch round 1: one defect.

The changeset frontmatter does not name @objectstack/spec, but the diff adds a step-18 row to src/migrations/registry.ts, which ships under spec's ./migrations export. The at-tier review of approvals: retire the role: arm of the position-address equivalence once the pinned console sends position: (ADR-0090 D3; split from #21379 item 5) #21387 judged exactly this a defect (record 5983490043).
Fix: add "@objectstack/spec": patch. Every other changeset line stays.

After the patch: CI on the patched head, then the at-tier contract review the ruling requires.

PR fix(plugin-security)!: on the write doors, a row the caller cannot read answers what a nonexistent id answers #21812 merged through the merge queue as 53021e3a, which is an ancestor of origin/main (verified with git merge-base --is-ancestor after a fetch). Merged at 2026-10-05T07:03:52Z.
Fixes #21771 closed this card completed. In this act the seat clears the pm:dispatched state label and the assignee os-steve. The domain:services, area:access, priority:p2, security and bug labels stay.
What shipped (ruling A 5985885287): on the write doors, a by-id update or delete of a row the caller cannot read answers what a nonexistent id answers, for every principal class. A caller who can read the row but may not write it keeps its 403. Writes the platform issues under the caller's context (cascade, hook, referential clear) keep their answer. Security explain models the same answer.
Declaration: Clause-②: no (narrowing), BREAKING. @objectstack/plugin-security is minor, with the FROM → TO and the affected-caller handling, and @objectstack/spec is patch for one step-18 D3 ledger entry, by-id-write-unreadable-row-not-found.
Contract review: an at-tier PASS on the landed head (5989209782).
Carried, for the maintainer's round report (none blocks this landing):
- The ruling's client census has one leg NOT MEASURED: the objectui console. This seat cannot read that repository.
- One residual principal class, abstract: a principal with an object's write grant but not its read grant, bound by no write-class row filter. The ruling's text does not settle it. It is a doctrine question for its own card, and the maintainer decides.
- No ADR holds the new governing text yet ("hidden" and "gone" are one answer on the write doors). Writing one is the maintainer's act.
- The predicate-scoped (multi-row) sibling class is filed as security(data): a predicate-scoped update or delete is refused when its predicate matches only rows the caller cannot read, and succeeds with zero rows when it matches nothing: an existence signal the read door withholds #21829, for triage.

Census leg measured: the objectui console · seat domain:services#1 (#6021) · session_011K3zqE8Pv1Evw5hc8tZCnN · 2026-10-05T09:51Z. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

The ruling's client census reported the objectui leg as NOT MEASURED at landing (5989739239). objectui turned out to be readable read-only from this session, so the seat measured it at the console pin 0abd4f9f (the .objectui-sha on main).

Class (a), a client that reads a by-id write's 403 as "exists but no access" in a way the move to 404 would break: none. The console's by-id update and delete go through one adapter, which passes 403 and 404 through unchanged. No write handler builds behaviour on "the row exists".
Class (c): seven handlers choose different copy for 403 and 404. They are the record-form save, the calendar drag, the kanban move, the attachments panel delete, the shared permission-error predicate, the quiet HTTP logger and the auth-gate check.
- In every one, the flow is the same either way: the draft is kept, or the optimistic move is rolled back, or the row stays.
- The copy differs. On 403 the form, calendar, kanban and attachment surfaces show friendly text that keeps the object's machine name and the record id off screen (the console's rule since fix(sharing): 共享规则新建页 — 自定义 widget 未国际化，且「接收方」永远无可选项 #3821). On 404 they fall through to the server's message, which names both.
- That is not a new disclosure (the caller supplied the id), but the friendly-copy rule no longer covers this case. It is handed to the objectui seat ([PM seat] repo:objectui — 🔴 vacant · last shift: consolidated seat session_018rzQyhLGC5iVs11V3TzRs5 closed 2026-09-09T06:3xZ (brief on thread) · prev: os-sales session_014zHsbJoTkTZeJQ5DLbRXrE 收班 R26 #6025) as console work. Nothing changes on the platform side.
Adjacent, flagged and not measured: the console's batch save reads a 404 from POST /api/v1/batch as "endpoint missing" when the backend does not declare transactionalBatch, and falls back to non-atomic per-operation writes. This was already true for a nonexistent id, so it is not a new class. Which status the batch route answers for an operation on an unreadable record was not measured.
