Declared endpoints (type: 'flow'): converge onto the #9378 status table — the ruled follow-up to #9446's staged execution

Filed by the triage seat as the door-3 half of the #9446 ruling (maintainer, 2026-08-18, verbatim 「同意」: the #9378 status table is a property of the flow-dispatch CONTRACT, executed in stages — door 2 in #9446 itself, door 3 as this card).

Scope

packages/runtime/src/endpoint-executor.ts's flow branch currently ends with an unconditional successAnswer(await automation.execute(...)) — HTTP 200 wrapping {"success":false,...} on every failure, the double envelope #3962 ruled out for /actions. Converge it onto the four-row table the trigger routes answer after #9413/#9415 (404 / 409 FLOW_DISABLED / 422 FLOW_NO_START_NODE / 400 FLOW_FAILED), consuming the producer's result.code.

Constraints (from the ruling)

The envelope flip is BREAKING for any consumer of the current double envelope on declared endpoints. The PR must say so plainly, and landing is sequenced against consumers — enumerate them (objectui, examples, docs) with real greps before flipping, and coordinate the objectui half if one exists.
Door 3 carries the endpoint policy chain and outputMapping, so this is not a copy of door 2's mapper — the mapping must sit where those still apply.
content/docs/protocol/kernel/http-protocol.mdx's boundary wording (corrected by spec: add FLOW_DISABLED / FLOW_NO_START_NODE to AutomationResult.code and deliver the trigger ruling's remaining two rows (409/422) #9415 to describe the divergence) flips back to "same response contract" in the same PR.
Clause-②: yes — accept/reject behavior changes on a public surface; contract-review tier dispatch, claim carries Clause-②: yes.
If implementation surfaces a reason door 3 cannot converge, report the fork back to the decision inbox — no silent scope change.

Refs: #9446 (the ruling record) · #9378 (the table) · #9413 / #9415 (doors 1's rows) · #3962 (the double-envelope precedent).

Worktree: objectstack-issue-9462
Domain: domain:cli
File surface: packages/runtime/src/endpoint-executor.ts + its test siblings, and content/docs/protocol/kernel/http-protocol.mdx (the boundary wording this card's own body says flips back) — stop on breach; explain in the report
Container & model: M–L, mode:subagent, model: opus — a DOWNGRADE from the Clause-② mandate, under the maintainer's one-time authorization
Clause-②: yes, verbatim from this card's own body — accept/reject behaviour changes on a public surface.
Serial constraints cleared: packages/runtime freed at 12:38:35Z — #9446 landed (PR #9584). Verified on origin/main by probe, ⛔ not taken from the merge event: flow-dispatch-status is referenced by exactly 2 files, action-execution.ts and domains/automation.ts — the two live doors — against a control of 243 files in packages/runtime/src. ⚠️ #9416 and #9457 are deliberately NOT dispatched alongside this card (same package; the maintainer re-confirmed 「不豁免，维持串行」 on 2026-08-18). This card goes first because the staging ruling sequenced door 3 after door 2, and door 2 has just landed.

Model-tier downgrade, recorded as the rule requires

Maintainer authorization, 2026-08-18, verbatim: 「授权一次性降档到 opus」, given in answer to a direct question naming five cards — #9446, #9416, #9462, #9488, #9487 — while the Fable 5 budget was exhausted (five measurements, ~01:2x through ~09:3x, the last three by throwaway probe touching no card). ⛔ The authorization does not generalise beyond those five.

The review tier is reduced; the verification bar is not. The reverse-verification requirement below is the compensating control, and I will verify the breaking-change analysis myself rather than on report.

Premise re-verified on `origin/main` this round

Door 3 still ends its flow branch with an unconditional return successAnswer(await automation.execute(plan.flow, automationContext)); — endpoint-executor.ts:483 (control: the file is 508 lines, so it resolves).
⭐ endpoint-executor.ts has zero references to flow-dispatch-status — the shared module The other two flow-dispatch doors never got the #9378 status table — /actions mislabels never-dispatched refusals, declared endpoints still answer 200 #9446 just created exists and this door is not yet wired to it. That wiring is the card, and it is why the ruling staged this after door 2: there is now one definition to call rather than a third table to write.

⚠️ What makes this card heavier than #9446, and what the dispatch will demand

The envelope flip is breaking for any consumer of the current HTTP 200 {"success":true,"data":{"success":false,...}} double envelope — the shape #3962 already ruled out for /actions. The card's own constraints require the consumers be enumerated with real greps before flipping, and the objectui half coordinated if one exists. My starting measurement for the dev to extend rather than trust: packages/client/src/index.ts plus two of its test files match the double-envelope shape.

⛔ If implementation surfaces a reason door 3 cannot converge, that is a fork report back to the decision inbox — ⛔ never a silent scope change. And door 3 carries the endpoint policy chain and outputMapping, so this is not a copy of door 2's mapper: the mapping has to sit where those still apply.

File-surface amendment (dev seat, same round)

The claim's declared file surface named packages/runtime/src/endpoint-executor.ts + its
test siblings and content/docs/protocol/kernel/http-protocol.mdx. The consumer
enumeration this card requires turned up a second page carrying the same boundary
sentence, so the surface is amended here rather than left to be discovered in the diff:

added: content/docs/automation/flows.mdx

It reads, today on origin/main (line 1317):

The same table answers at the action door. … Declared endpoints (type: 'flow') are
the remaining exception: they still answer 200 for every outcome, so read
data.success there rather than the status.

That is the identical defect class as the http-protocol.mdx sentence this card's own
constraint 5 says flips back — boundary wording added by the #9413/#9415 series to
describe a divergence this PR removes — and the correct form is already pinned by the
sibling page plus the constraint. Leaving it would ship a documented falsehood created by
this very diff. Scope is unchanged otherwise: still one defect class, no new verification
surface (both pages ride the same check:docs-* / docs-drift family, all green locally).

Evidence query behind the find, with its control:

grep -rn "\.data\.success|data\?\.success" --include=*.ts --include=*.tsx --include=*.mdx \
     --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=dist .        # 40 hits, 2 of them in content/docs

The fix is named explicitly in the PR body, per the bounded in-place-fix rule.

The unconditional `successAnswer` is gone from every refusal path; a successful run is untouched. Both doc pages that asserted the divergence are flipped, and a minor changeset frames the break. NOTE the one judgement call, raised in open_questions and pinned as a test: the UNCLASSIFIED `success:false` residual keeps today's 200 at this door, matching door 1 (the route #5040 section 4 makes this endpoint an alias of), not door 2.",

NOT RUN: `@objectstack/driver-turso` (13th consumer) — its lock turn never came inside the ~20min queue budget and I tore my waiter down rather than stall; it is a database driver with no path to the HTTP flow envelope, and CI covers it.

CI job status at report time: in_progress (reported at draft-PR time per the 2026-08-10 ruling; no CI waiting). ⚠️ ONE MEASUREMENT RETRACTED: a first consumer run scoped `--filter '...@objectstack/runtime'` alone reported 4 red suites — every one `Failed to resolve entry for package @objectstack/service-settings`/`-automation`/`-storage`/`-realtime`, packages OUTSIDE that filter closure and therefore unbuilt. NOT MEASURED, not red; the numbers above are the re-run on a fully built tree. ABLATION (restore the unconditional successAnswer): predictions written to a file BEFORE running, direction predicted RED — predicted 11 fail / 4 pass, ACTUAL 11 fail / 4 pass, and the same four survivors. The 4 green ones are deliberate controls (success path 200, unclassified residual 200, and their two cross-door twins) pinning behaviour this change must NOT alter; `endpoint-executor.test.ts` (49 cases, the pre-change suite) also stayed fully green under the ablation. CROSS-DOOR PARITY: the same AutomationResult driven through all three doors from ONE service object — disabled 409 / no-start-node 422 / ran-and-failed 400 / unknown-flow 404 (and none of the three dispatches it) / success 200 — all equal at all three doors.",

Also never PROMOTES an exit the producer did not classify, which the shared module's note calls the thing a door must not do. Cost: the double envelope survives for this one residual on a public app surface, and outputMapping can still project that 200-wrapped failure as data.",
        "B — mirror /actions: refuse it 400 FLOW_FAILED. Removes the double envelope from this seam completely and closes the outputMapping hole for the residual too. Cost: breaks alias-equivalence with door 1 for that case (the exact drift #5040 section 4 forbids), and imports a ruling made about a different route.",
        "C — settle it once in the SHARED table for all three doors, as a follow-up card: make the residual a fifth row, or have the producer classify it so it stops being a residual at all."

A is the conservative, already-ruled choice and B is an unruled behaviour widening decided at one call site — precisely the shape that produced three divergent doors in the first place. But A leaves a real asymmetry on a public surface, so if the maintainer wants the double envelope gone everywhere, the correct act is C: one edit to flow-dispatch-status.ts that moves all three doors together, not a fourth private reading at this one. I did not file C as an issue — it is a decision, not a defect, and it belongs in this thread rather than in the backlog until it is ruled."

Zone-2 assumptions, checked

assumption	verdict
`packages/client/src/index.ts` + 2 test files are consumers	FALSIFIED. Those hits are `/actions` (`normalizeActionResult`, already converged in #9446) and the generic `{success,data,meta}` unwrap. The SDK has 0 references to `api/v1/apps` — control: 4 hits for `v1/actions`. No SDK method calls a declared endpoint at all.
the shared module's rows apply unchanged at door 3	HELD, including the `getFlow` seam. Door 3 has it: `deps.automationService` is the same `IAutomationService` occupant, so `flowIsUnknown(service, plan.flow)` is the identical probe, asked after the existing `isServiceServeable` 501 gate and before `execute`. A service omitting `getFlow` dispatches as before, pinned. No dead row.
`outputMapping` applies only on the success path	HELD, and the mapping site needed no change. It lives in `api-endpoint-step.ts` keyed on `answer.status < 400`, upstream-independent of this function, so the refusal rows fall outside it by the rule already written. Flipping the envelope therefore also closes a real hole: the projection used to be applied to the `200`-wrapped FAILURE body and could present a refused dispatch as data. `cacheTtl`'s `Cache-Control` rides the same test; the `rateLimit`/`authRequired` chain runs upstream of execution and is untouched.
only `http-protocol.mdx` carries the divergence wording	FALSIFIED. `content/docs/automation/flows.mdx` carried the same sentence ("Declared endpoints … are the remaining exception"). Fixed under the bounded in-place-fix rule; claim file surface amended in the comment above, named in the PR body.
