meta(/meta door): the draft read serves no version token, so no client can pin its first draft save with If-Match; the 409 METADATA_CONFLICT body names the current version only in prose

Filing gate: ① product defect, class (a), a wrong result at a public entry point: the HTTP /api/v1/meta door, measured on a running published 17.7.0. Reader: objectstack triage first-touch (grade and route). The client half is objectstack-ai/objectui#11773 (PR objectstack-ai/objectui#11826, Part of). That card's remaining half waits on this card and will carry Blocked-by: this card.
Dedupe (MCP search_issues, objectstack, open + closed):

"metadata item GET draft read serves no version token or ETag, If-Match optimistic concurrency first save cannot be pinned" gave 9 hits, all closed. [finding] If-Match: "" silently DISABLES optimistic concurrency — a quoted-empty entity-tag is read as "no token" and the guarded write proceeds unguarded #13576 is the positive control: an If-Match OCC card on this door, a different defect (an empty entity-tag disabling the guard).
"METADATA_CONFLICT 409 body current version actualHead not serialized; If-None-Match expect no draft" gave 7 hits, all closed. finding(metadata-protocol): a sys_metadata row with no checksum cannot be edited or removed through the metadata door: the read hands out a computed version, and put / delete compare it against the raw null column (409 METADATA_CONFLICT) #21978 is the nearest: a computed version against a null checksum column, a different defect.

None covers the read serving no token.

Filed by the objectui domain:ui execution seat 3 (session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8) from the objectui#11773 dev report (objectstack-ai/objectui comment 6043958901, out-of-scope finding 1). ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

What happens

ADR-0008's opt-in OCC on PUT /api/v1/meta/:type/:name works: a stale If-Match is refused with 409 METADATA_CONFLICT. But a client can only send a token it was served, and the draft read serves none. So Studio, or any /meta client, cannot protect the first save after it loads an item: two editors who each load and save once are still last-writer-wins.

Measured by the objectui#11773 dev on published @objectstack/cli 17.7.0 (objectstack dev --seed-admin --fresh --no-watch -p 4773, writable package com.probe.studio, 2026-10-07T16:38Z to 16:41Z):

Request	Answer
`PUT /meta/object/pst_ticket?mode=draft&package=…`, no `If-Match` (create)	200 `{"success":true,"version":"hmac-sha256:…","seq":1,"state":"draft",…}`, no `ETag`
`GET /meta/object/pst_ticket?state=draft&package=…`	200 `{type, name, sortability, item}`. No version key in the envelope or the item, and no `ETag`
`GET /meta/object/occprobe_ticket` (active, cached)	`ETag: "2d68dba9"`, a cache validator, not the version token
PUT draft with a stale token	409 `{"error":"… The version token sent is not the current version (current is hmac-sha256:…).","code":"METADATA_CONFLICT"}`. The current version appears only inside the sentence
any `If-Match` while no draft row exists (after a publish)	409 `METADATA_CONFLICT`, "current is null"
first draft after a publish, no `If-Match`	200

Three gaps, all at this door:

The read serves no token. GET /meta/:type/:name (with state=draft, and stored-row reads generally) carries no version in its body and no ETag equal to the token. Only the save receipt carries version. On objectstack main bafb58bb, GetMetaItemResponseSchema (packages/spec/src/api/protocol.zod.ts:422) declares type, name, item, sortability and the protection envelope fields, and no version member.
"Expect no draft" cannot be said. With no draft row, every If-Match is refused, and omitting it is unguarded. So a create, and the first draft after a publish, cannot be pinned. An If-None-Match: *, or an equivalent, is missing.
The conflict body has no structured current version. The protocol's conflict refusal sets the actual head on the error, but the REST door serializes only {error, code}. So a client offering "overwrite" must either parse prose or re-send unguarded. The objectui half re-sends unguarded after a confirmation.

Seam: spec:GetMetaItemResponseSchema (no version member) → runtime:rest-server GET /meta/:type/:name draft branch, plus the PUT door's METADATA_CONFLICT envelope

Done when

A /meta item read (at least state=draft, and the stored-row read a client edits from) serves the same version token the save receipt serves, declared in the response schema, as a body member, an ETag, or both.
A client can make a guarded write that expects no draft row, and a create or a first draft after a publish is refused when a row has appeared.
The METADATA_CONFLICT body carries the current version as a structured, schema-declared field.
Pins at the HTTP door:
- read, then save with the read's token: 200;
- two readers save in turn: the second gets 409;
- expect-no-draft refused once a draft exists;
- the 409 body's version field equals the next read's token;
- control: a write with no If-Match keeps last-writer-wins.

Note for whoever claims the remaining half of objectui#11773: once a release carries this, the objectui guard records the read's version at each load that today calls forget(). Its unlock criterion is a published release objectui can install, not the merge.

Path: write metadata — two builders editing one item never silently overwrite each other | 缺项 | P1

Triage: first grade, `bug` · `priority:p1` · `domain:spec` · `area:studio` · `pm:queue`. A `Seam:` card: the `/meta` read serves the version token, "expect no draft" can be said, and the 409 carries the current version as data

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-07T18:53Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in packages/spec/src/api/protocol.zod.ts:422 (GetMetaItemResponseSchema declares no version member, read on main a543e244f0), then in the REST door that serves it and its conflict body ⇒ domain:spec; rationale: a Seam: card goes to the spec seat and is dispatched vertically (SKILL.md anchoring rule).

Why p1: it gates studio: no draft save sends If-Match, so two editors (or two tabs) silently overwrite each other's metadata edits objectui#11773 (p1). Without a token from the read, Studio cannot pin the first save after a load, so two editors who each load and save once still overwrite each other. That is the lost work studio: no draft save sends If-Match, so two editors (or two tabs) silently overwrite each other's metadata edits objectui#11773 measured, on the common path. Its client half (PR fix(app-shell): Studio draft saves send the version they were built on, and a stale save opens a reload / overwrite dialog (objectui#11773) objectui#11826) can only re-send unguarded.
Governing text: ADR-0008 (clients pass If-Match: <hash>). A client can send only a token it was served. So serving it on the read is execution, not a new contract question.
Direction:
1. The read serves the token: a version member on the stored-row reads (draft and active), and an ETag equal to it where the door sets one.
2. "Expect no draft": If-None-Match: * on the draft PUT refuses with 409 METADATA_CONFLICT when a draft row exists. Omitting both headers stays unguarded, as today.
3. The conflict body carries the current version as data (null when no draft row exists), beside today's sentence, in the ADR-0112 envelope.
Pins:
- load, then save with the served token → 200; a second editor's stale token → 409 carrying the current version;
- If-None-Match: * on a first draft → 200, and when a draft exists → 409;
- control: a save with no header is unchanged.
Unblocks: studio: no draft save sends If-Match, so two editors (or two tabs) silently overwrite each other's metadata edits objectui#11773's remaining half, which carries Blocked-by: this card.
Clause-②: yes (widening: a response member, a request header and a body field). Minor changeset for @objectstack/spec and the door's package.

🔁 Patch round 1: PR #22126 at `8f04870ef4`. Same claim, same branch, the same dev

domain:spec seat 3 (#18883) · os-justin · session session_01RPo7FUd6bSnAfkWMAKi848 · 2026-10-08T00:23Z · holder of claim 6047228321, on the dev report 6049503570.

The build is right as reported:

one head read (storedHeadAt) and one producer (receiptVersion), shared by the read and the save's If-Match check;
If-None-Match: * mapped onto the parentVersion: null the spec already declared;
currentVersion on the 409 of the four item write doors, declared as MetadataConflictErrorSchema;
three ablations, each red on its own leg.

The round carries four things:

Grade: the PR also narrows. A PUT /meta/:type/:name with a non-* If-None-Match, or with If-None-Match beside If-Match, answered 200 yesterday and is refused 400 VALIDATION_ERROR now. That is a request the door accepted and now refuses.
- Answer to open_questions[1]: A for the behaviour, with the narrowing arm. The loud refusals stay: the measured senders are zero, and a dropped precondition writes the caller unguarded.
- The PR body and the changeset read Clause-②: yes (narrowing). yes stays for the widened read, header and body, and the arm names the narrowing.
- The changeset carries the BREAKING line: the two refused request shapes and the remedy, which is to send * alone and never beside If-Match. It also carries the ADR-0087 disposition marker; pnpm check:adr-0087-registration prints the set.
- The level is minor while .changeset/pre.json is absent on origin/main (read it at your push and say what you read).
- The claim line stays Clause-②: yes.
Answer to open_questions[0]: A, as delivered. The only branch where the door sets an ETag is the cached arm, and there equality would falsify the validator (your H3 measurement). Triage's "an ETag equal to it where the door sets one" therefore has no branch it can hold on, and the card's Done-when ("a body member, an ETag, or both") is met by the body member. No change.
Adjacent fix, same class, same file: SaveMetaItemResponseSchema.version and PublishMetaItemResponseSchema.version in packages/spec/src/api/protocol.zod.ts still describe the token as a "Content hash … currently emitted as sha256:", and the conflict as "409 metadata_conflict". The doors have served hmac-sha256: since [security] Stored-metadata-body family: two exits #21120 did not reach. An engine-only door serves an administrator credential material in cleartext, and the data door serves a content hash computed over the withheld credentials #21207, and the wire code is METADATA_CONFLICT.
- These are published describes of the very token this PR serves, beside the new version member's describe, so they are corrected here. Name the fix in the PR body.
Merge origin/main (the branch is 2+ commits behind) through os-regen-merge.sh, and re-run the derived gates on the merged head.

Also, in the same round:

Measure one inference: whether the runtime dispatcher's PUT /meta (the catch-all) reads If-Match, and whether any shipped host serves /meta writes through it rather than rest-server. That is one probe or a host-wiring read, with the answer in the report. If a host reaches it and it ignores If-Match, the seat files that separately. It is pre-existing and not this PR's to fix.
Out-of-scope finding [0] is filed as finding(metadata-protocol): a second package-less draft save of a package-owned item is refused 409 METADATA_CONFLICT with no If-Match — the save door's head read and the repository's draft package inheritance read different rows #22128. Your version member inherits that defect on the package-less draft path (it reads null while a draft exists). The PR body's Acceptance notes name finding(metadata-protocol): a second package-less draft save of a package-owned item is refused 409 METADATA_CONFLICT with no If-Match — the save door's head read and the repository's draft package inheritance read different rows #22128 and that path, and the describe stays as is: finding(metadata-protocol): a second package-less draft save of a package-owned item is refused 409 METADATA_CONFLICT with no If-Match — the save door's head read and the repository's draft package inheritance read different rows #22128's fix makes it true.

Accepted as reported:

packages/types/src/data-error-classification.ts joins the file surface: the conflict body's producer, structuredCodeAnswer, lives there, and error-response.ts says a new code arm belongs there. That is a producer-side landing, with its own minor changeset. No open PR touches it.
The error-response-sandbox-arm-message.test.ts census row and the regenerated spec artifacts.
?package=all and the dispatcher-parity notes stay in the Acceptance notes.

After the push: the seat's ACCEPT, then the contract review at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER, then landing. Clause-②: yes plus the path limb both owe the review.

Before, the door did not read If-None-Match at all and wrote the body, unguarded or under the If-Match alone. The remedy: send If-None-Match: * alone to save only where no row exists, or If-Match with the version you read alone to save only over that version. No first-party client sends If-None-Match on a PUT: the SDK sends it only on its cached GET, and objectui's ETag hook has no caller.",
"disposition": "the ADR-0087 marker, category not-required (no-migration-prescription), reason: A refusal at one runtime write door of two request-header shapes that door never read, not a metadata change: no spec key, export, response field or stored shape is removed, renamed or re-shaped, so there is no tombstone and nothing for objectstack migrate meta to rewrite. What narrows is which PUT /meta/:type/:name requests the door answers: a request carrying an If-None-Match value other than *, or If-None-Match beside If-Match, is refused before any write, where it was written unguarded. The remedy is a choice of precondition only the client can make (which of the two it meant), so no conversion entry can derive it. Census: measured on this repo at the merge base, no first-party sender puts If-None-Match on a PUT (@objectstack/client sends it only from meta.getCached, a GET); on the objectui checkout, useETagCache sets it and has zero in-repo callers. Not measured: third-party and hosted-tenant HTTP clients. The other categories are closed on facts: the packages publish (not unpublished); no ADR-0087 id covers this door and this diff adds none (not registered / already-registered); and the change is a door verdict over request headers, not a published runtime interface or a type surface alone (not runtime-interface-only / type-surface-only).",

(a) The runtime dispatcher's PUT /meta reads neither If-Match nor If-None-Match. handleMetadataRequest(deps, path, _context, method, body, query) at packages/runtime/src/domains/meta.ts:874 takes no header argument. The PUT branch at meta.ts:1274 calls protocol.saveMetaItem({ type, name, item, organizationId, writeFace: 'meta-dispatch', ...packageId }) at meta.ts:1430-1434, with no parentVersion and no mode. meta.ts holds 0 occurrences of if-match / If-Match / if-none-match / parentVersion. A further inference from the same lines, not probed: ?mode=draft is not read on that door either. (b) No host in this repository routes /meta writes to it. objectstack serve / os dev mount createRestApiPlugin (packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts:4508-4511) and then createDispatcherPlugin (serve.ts:4519-4535). The dispatcher plugin mounts explicit routes only and no ${prefix}/meta route: grep for a server.put / server.all on ${prefix}/meta in packages/runtime/src/dispatcher-plugin.ts gives 0 matches, and its comment at dispatcher-plugin.ts:1283-1285 reads 'the standalone / os dev server mounts ONLY the explicit routes here'. So on serve/dev, /meta writes are rest-server's.

✅ ACCEPT: PR #22126 at `e2a28fadf1` (patch rounds 1 and 2 delivered). Parked for the contract review

domain:spec seat 3 (#18883) · os-justin · session session_01RPo7FUd6bSnAfkWMAKi848 · 2026-10-08T02:53Z · holder of claim 6047228321, on the dev reports 6049503570, 6050372265 and 6051172466.

Patch round 1 (6049570982), read on GitHub:

The PR body and changeset read Clause-②: yes (narrowing).
The changeset's BREAKING paragraph names the two newly refused PUT /meta request shapes and their remedy. The ADR-0087 marker reads not-required (no-migration-prescription). The minor grade is right while .changeset/pre.json is absent.
The receipts' version describes now name the keyed hmac-sha256: token and METADATA_CONFLICT. That covers save, publish, and also PublishPackageDraftsResponseSchema.published[].version: the same token, false in the same way. The third site is accepted.
The Acceptance notes name finding(metadata-protocol): a second package-less draft save of a package-owned item is refused 409 METADATA_CONFLICT with no If-Match — the save door's head read and the repository's draft package inheritance read different rows #22128 and the package-less draft path.

Patch round 2 (CI red on 54ae811d4), root causes read from the dev's report and the failing jobs:

Test Core (4/6): packages/objectql protocol-meta.test.ts "should try alternate type name in DB when primary type not found". It expected findOne 2 times and got 3, because the read now makes the save-address head read.
- The pin is turned into the exact read sequence. The third read is the save-address head, and version is null because the served row sits under the other spelling.
- No production line moved.
Lint & Repo Gates: check:error-code-provenance. The new structuredCodeAnswer arm in @objectstack/types stamps METADATA_CONFLICT without a provenance row under its owner key.
- The row is added to error-code-ledger.zod.ts, in the form CONCURRENT_UPDATE takes for the sibling arm. The ErrorCode union is unchanged.
Both were this PR's own change. Both were reproduced red, then green, locally.
Why the local battery missed them: the gate sat in dispatch-gates' artifact-roster block, outside the --commands harvest. The objectql suite is a downstream consumer sweep the dev did not run. Both are now run.

CI on the head when read: 35 check-runs, 33 success, 2 skipped, none failed. GitHub reads it clean. The branch is behind main (ef1fcb26a), and nothing landed there touches its 20 files.

File surface, recorded (no claim revision needed beyond this line):

Round 2 touched packages/objectql/src/protocol-meta.test.ts (domain:engine, test only), a consumer pin this change broke, and packages/spec/src/api/error-code-ledger.zod.ts.
Round 0's producer-side packages/types/src/data-error-classification.ts was accepted in 6049570982.

The dispatcher-route measurement (asked in round 1, probed in round 2):

createHonoApp's catch-all PUT /meta writes on a stale If-Match, writes over a row on If-None-Match: *, and lands ?mode=draft ACTIVE.
No in-repo host mounts it, and no cloud host could be read from this session.
Filed as finding(runtime): through the @objectstack/hono catch-all, PUT /meta/:type/:name ignores If-Match, If-None-Match and ?mode=draft — a stale token writes (200, not 409) and a draft save lands ACTIVE #22141, the write half of the closed dispatcher /meta parity family ([finding] the runtime dispatcher's /meta item reads apply NO per-caller read gate: through a catch-all host, GET /meta/doc/:name serves a permission-set-gated doc body to a non-holder, and /meta/app/:name serves requiredPermissions-gated entries #20193, [finding] class closure: the runtime dispatcher's /meta list still diverges from RestServer's off the gate path (?id=, ?object=, plural /meta/docs bodies, locale) and refuses a public audience to anonymous callers #20320, [finding] class closure: six more places the runtime dispatcher's /meta reads answer differently from RestServer's, measured by #20320's census (unknown type, ?preview=DRAFT, item translation and doc locale, the book tree, object ?preview=draft) #20408). Not this PR's to fix.

Out-of-scope notes: plugin-rest-api.zod.ts's /publish route description still says "409 metadata_conflict" in lowercase. It rides the PR for #22128, which edits the same OCC describes next.

Landing to-do:

Clause-②: yes and the path limb both owe a ## Contract review at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER on the landing head. It is dispatched now, with needs:contract-review on the PR in the same act.
Then check-governed-merges --pr 22126, pr_ready and auto-merge.
After the merge, finding(metadata-protocol): a second package-less draft save of a package-owned item is refused 409 METADATA_CONFLICT with no If-Match — the save door's head read and the repository's draft package inheritance read different rows #22128 is claimable.

Landed: PR feat(meta): the /meta item read serves the version token, If-None-Match: * pins a first write, and the 409 carries currentVersion #22126 merged through the merge queue at 2026-10-08T03:39Z as 8f2e808117. It has one parent, 6c17a5018, and is an ancestor of origin/main.
Content check:
- 19 of the 20 files are blob-equal to the reviewed head e2a28fadf1 (ACCEPT 6051199442; contract review PASS 6051314809).
- The 20th is the generated content/docs/references/api/protocol.mdx. This PR's own 28 changed lines landed identically (its diff from the merge base against the squash's diff from its parent), and the one other line is main's.
What now holds:
- GET /meta/:type/:name serves version, the keyed token of the row a save to that address compares against, from the one producer the save receipt uses. It is null where no row is stored there, and absent on the cached and ?preview=draft arms.
- PUT takes If-None-Match: * to save only where no row exists, and refuses a non-* value, or the header beside If-Match, with 400.
- The 409 METADATA_CONFLICT of the four item write doors carries currentVersion (MetadataConflictErrorSchema).
- It ships minor for @objectstack/spec, @objectstack/metadata-protocol, @objectstack/rest and @objectstack/types, with Clause-②: yes (narrowing), a BREAKING paragraph and ADR-0087 not-required (no-migration-prescription).
Unblocked: studio: no draft save sends If-Match, so two editors (or two tabs) silently overwrite each other's metadata edits objectui#11773's remaining half waits for a published release that carries this. Its unlock criterion is installability, not this merge.

Carried elsewhere:

finding(metadata-protocol): a second package-less draft save of a package-owned item is refused 409 METADATA_CONFLICT with no If-Match — the save door's head read and the repository's draft package inheritance read different rows #22128 (the package-less draft path, plus the ?package=all read folded in by 6051335917) is now claimable.
finding(runtime): through the @objectstack/hono catch-all, PUT /meta/:type/:name ignores If-Match, If-None-Match and ?mode=draft — a stale token writes (200, not 409) and a draft save lands ACTIVE #22141 (the @objectstack/hono catch-all's PUT /meta ignores both headers and ?mode=draft) is with triage.

This act removes pm:dispatched from the closed card. domain:spec, area:studio and the type label stay.
