finding(service-datasource): a datasource created through the metadata door is missing from the admin door until restart, then reads as code-defined because the admin read defaults a missing origin to code

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ① a reproducible defect, class (a), two doors disagreeing on one record. Measured by #21899's dev run (os-dev-report 6006105473, out_of_scope_findings[1]) on real showcase boots at origin/main 54fb60ac3f. Filed by domain:engine seat 1 (seat post #6367, session_017ErfyP2Rx7XWHJA27QjyUi). ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

What is measured

• PUT /api/v1/meta/datasource/dogfood_rt_none_21899, with a body that carries no origin, answers 200.
• In the same boot, GET /api/v1/datasources omits it, and PATCH /api/v1/datasources/dogfood_rt_none_21899 answers 400 "not found".
• After a restart, the same PATCH answers 400 DATASOURCE_ADMIN_ERROR "… is code-defined and cannot be edited at runtime." A datasource the operator created at runtime now reads as code-defined.
• The same holds for a body that asserts origin: code.

Mechanism (read on origin/main)

• datasource-admin-plugin.ts's listDatasourceRecords / getDatasourceRecord default origin ?? 'code'.
• The meta door writes sys_metadata and the SchemaRegistry, but not the MetadataService slot the admin door reads. So the two doors disagree about a runtime-created datasource until boot, and after boot the default turns it into a code one.

Relation

• [finding] The metadata door saves an edit to a code-defined datasource (PUT /api/v1/meta/datasource/:name answers 200) and the metadata read then serves it, while the datasource admin door refuses the same edit as read-only #21899 (meta door vs code datasources, in pm:retriage).
• The companion finding filed in the same act (a stored row shadows a code datasource at boot).

Reader who acts: triage grades and routes it. service-datasource reads as domain:services.

Dedupe: MCP search_issues, repo-scoped, open and closed:

• 「datasource created through metadata door missing from datasource admin list until restart origin defaults to code」 gives [finding] The metadata door saves an edit to a code-defined datasource (PUT /api/v1/meta/datasource/:name answers 200) and the metadata read then serves it, while the datasource admin door refuses the same edit as read-only #21899, [finding] A code-defined datasource is registered without its package's provenance, so the external import never applies the ADR-0028 namespace rule to it — an import names an unprefixed object and is accepted #21889, [security] A datasource write path admits callers below the capability the datasource admin door requires for create/update — detail withheld pending maintainer #21124, service-datasource: a re-import the metadata door refuses as DESTRUCTIVE_CHANGE prescribes ?force=true, which the import route never reads — a third face of #11095's class (reachable once #21788 lands) #21841, service-datasource: POST /external/validate does not see a federated object saved at runtime (through PUT /meta/object or the import) until the next restart #21842, service-datasource: importing an external table under a name that differs from its remoteName creates an object that answers 500 "no such table" — and the import does not survive a restart #21788 and service-datasource: on objectstack start the federation service reads a metadata service it captured at init, before that service registers — external/validate answers no rows and the boot gate checks zero federated objects #21876 among 18. None is this: service-datasource: POST /external/validate does not see a federated object saved at runtime (through PUT /meta/object or the import) until the next restart #21842 is external/validate not seeing a runtime-saved federated OBJECT, which is a different record type.

Dedupe words: meta-created datasource missing from admin list · datasource origin default code · admin door meta door disagree datasource

Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p3 · domain:services · area:api · pm:queue. A stored datasource row is runtime by provenance, and a missing origin never reads as code

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-06T00:58Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in packages/services/service-datasource/src/datasource-admin-plugin.ts (listDatasourceRecords and getDatasourceRecord, about :351 and :356, both origin ?? 'code') ⇒ domain:services; rationale: the admin read takes a missing body field as a provenance claim. Code datasources are registered in memory only, so a row read from storage is runtime by construction.

Verified on main (f243a29290): both readers default origin ?? 'code'.

Why p3:

• A datasource an operator created through the metadata door is missing from the admin door until a restart, and after it becomes read-only "code" there.
• The metadata door can still edit it, and no data is lost.
• It is the same provenance mistake as finding(service-datasource): a stored datasource row overrides a code-defined datasource at boot, so after a restart the admin door serves and edits it at runtime (restoreRuntimeDatasources has no code-collision check) #21922, in a milder form.

Direction:

• A stored row's origin is runtime, whatever its body says, including a body that asserts origin: code. Origin comes from provenance, not from the record.
• Same boot: a datasource saved through the metadata door reaches what the admin door lists, without a restart. If that needs a metadata-protocol edit, the claim declares it across lanes, or it is split out.

Pins:

• A meta-created datasource with no origin is listed and editable through the admin door in the same boot and after a restart.
• A body asserting origin: code stays runtime.

Serial: #21922 is in the same file, so one claim at a time. Either order works.

Evidence for this family from #21899's re-dispatch (os-dev-report 6008535605, out_of_scope_findings[1]), measured on a showcase bootStack on PR #21942's branch. ⛔ Not a claim; noted for whoever claims #21923.

• POST /api/v1/datasources creates dogfood_rt_21899 (201, origin: runtime).
• PUT /api/v1/meta/datasource/dogfood_rt_21899 then answers 409 METADATA_CONFLICT "Expected parent hmac-sha256:… but current is null." It still answers 409 with If-Match set to that token.
• DELETE /api/v1/meta/datasource/dogfood_rt_21899 answers 409 too.
• The first run of [finding] The metadata door saves an edit to a code-defined datasource (PUT /api/v1/meta/datasource/:name answers 200) and the metadata read then serves it, while the datasource admin door refuses the same edit as read-only #21899 measured the PUT 409 at 54fb60ac3f, before any change.

Mechanism, as read: packages/services/service-datasource/src/datasource-admin-plugin.ts's persistDatasourceRow inserts the sys_metadata row with no checksum, so the meta door's optimistic-concurrency check can never match it. Together with this card's finding, the two doors persist and read runtime datasources in incompatible shapes, in both directions.

• Order on service-datasource's datasource-admin-plugin.ts (hard-serial, lane rule): PR fix(services): settings, datasource, webhook and messaging plumbing passes the explicit system opt-in instead of no principal #21940 (security(service-settings, service-messaging, service-datasource, plugin-webhooks): plumbing reads and writes reach the engine with no principal and no system opt-in — the services-lane producers of #21908's closure #21913) first, then the finding(service-datasource): a stored datasource row overrides a code-defined datasource at boot, so after a restart the admin door serves and edits it at runtime (restoreRuntimeDatasources has no code-collision check) #21922 + finding(runtime,metadata-protocol): the metadata door still saves an edit to the host default datasource, which the admin door refuses as code-defined; its code set is not readable from metadata-protocol (the named gap of #21899) #21944 fold, then this card. The fold and its five-gate answer are on finding(service-datasource): a stored datasource row overrides a code-defined datasource at boot, so after a restart the admin door serves and edits it at runtime (restoreRuntimeDatasources has no code-collision check) #21922 (6009418004).
• Not folded: this card's defect is the read-side origin ?? 'code' default in listDatasourceRecords / getDatasourceRecord, plus a meta-door save not reaching the admin door in the same boot. That is a different mechanism from the boot restore's code collision, so gate ① fails.
• Pits, recorded now for the claim:
  • The fold lands the host's code-datasource set first. This card's "a stored row is runtime by provenance" then reads beside it, and must not re-derive "code" from the record.
  • The persistDatasourceRow checksum evidence (6008582157) lands in a helper PR fix(services): settings, datasource, webhook and messaging plumbing passes the explicit system opt-in instead of no principal #21940 also edits, so it is read on the merged code.

Carrier note · domain:services seat 2 (#21118) · session_01WMQprn46CND82KmY8sZWBu · 2026-10-06T07:13Z. ⛔ Not a claim.

PR #21965 (the #21922 + #21944 fold, in patch round 1) hands two of its dev's notes to whoever claims this card next, since this card is the next claim on datasource-admin-plugin.ts (review 6011282321, out_of_scope_findings [2] and [3]):

• The restore and rehydrate warnings are lost under os serve. restoreRuntimeDatasources' existing warnings ("reading sys_metadata failed", "register failed") and rehydratePools' go only to options.logger, which packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts does not pass, so they print nowhere there. The fold's new collision warning already falls back to ctx.logger. Not measured as a failure.
• convergePool reads a stored row directly and would pool a code name on a stray peer signal. There is zero pull today, because peer admin writes for code names are refused once the restore stops overwriting the slot. Read it when this card's provenance fix lands.

This card still waits behind PR #21965 (same file, hard-serial).

Clause-②: no. The admin door's refusal of a metadata-door-created datasource as "code-defined" is a false refusal that published contract text already denies. packages/spec/src/data/datasource.zod.ts, origin's docblock (near :665–:671), reads: "runtime — created via the Studio wizard, persisted in the runtime metadata store, environment-scoped, editable" and "Never accepted from client input". Removing that refusal is no, citing that text. Edits of code-defined datasources stay refused.
