Fixes #21620
Clause-②: no (narrowing)

The runtime save door's accept set narrows: a view container saved under a name that another stored container of the same object expands to is refused with VALIDATION_ERROR / 400. Nothing widens. Dispatched by domain:engine seat 1 under claim 5973165628 (branch claude/issue-21620-container-named-after-object).

What changed

saveMetaItem (packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts), the method behind PUT /api/v1/meta/view/NAME and the dispatcher's metadata save, gains one check: containerSiblingExpansionNameRefusal. It runs right after #21558's containerOwnExpansionNameRefusal and before the view identity stamp (normalizeViewMetadata). This is triage's pre-named fallback, the narrower check, not the broad one. The census below hit, so the broad check ("a container's name must equal its object's") was not written.

  • The predicate: "another stored container of the same object expands to the save name". It is answered by the readers' own pieces, never a copy of them:
    • Rows: the active view rows that readActiveOverlayRows selects for this caller, through the readers' gate organizationIdForMetaRead and with no package filter. That is environment-wide rows plus the caller's organization's.
    • Parse and expansion: each row is parsed by storedOverlayEntries and expanded by expandStoredViewContainers with its own package binding. So every member kind (a bare or named list, listViews, form, formViews), the expander's de-duplication, and metadata: a view container with a bare list on another package's object silently replaces that object's packaged default view on GET /meta/view?object= — while the by-name read still serves the original #21334's own-name arm on another package's object are judged where the readers place them.
    • "Another": the row stored under the save name itself is left out, because it is the row this save replaces.
    • "Of the same object": the expanded view's object against deriveViewContainerObject of the body. That is the one derivation the source registrars file a container under, newly imported from @objectstack/metadata/view-container.
  • The body judged is the authored one, with the door's own name stamp applied first (H3), before the identity patch. On an unscoped kernel the sibling's expansion is registered under the name, and a form-only container would otherwise take its viewKind and reach the schema as a malformed view item.
  • The envelope: VALIDATION_ERROR / 400, the same as the two name checks beside it. No new code, and the error-code ledger is untouched.
  • The words: "Invalid view container: it is saved under 'crm_lead.pipeline', which is a name the stored container 'crm_lead' expands (its list view on 'crm_lead'). An expanded view fills only a name that has no stored row of its own, and this container would be that row, so that view would no longer be served and no read would answer a view under 'crm_lead.pipeline'. Add the view as a member of the container 'crm_lead' (its list, listViews, form or formViews), or save a view item (name, object, viewKind and config) under 'crm_lead.pipeline'." The prescription names the stored container that expands the name: add the view as a member of it, or save a view item under the name. It never prescribes a save under a name another stored container holds (patch round 1, REWORK 5973617844). The text carries no tracker number.
  • The read doors are not changed, and no stored row is re-saved. File surface as claimed: saveMetaItem's view save door only.

The census, taken first (the ruling's stop condition)

The ruling, as the seat reads it: if any writer or packaged container names a container other than after its object, do not write the broad check; record the hit; implement the narrower check. The census hit, decidably.

Readings at BASE 045b946256, with objectui at its pin 89cad75d55:

Census input Evidence Names a container other than after its object?
The platform checklist's live view-authoring item, studio-authoring.view-authoring-live (P1, active, revision 2 of 2026-10-02) Step 1 is PUT /api/v1/meta/view/qa_repair_asset_views?mode=draft with { object: 'repair_asset', list, form }, on a runtime-authored object. Yes. It is the documented live authoring path.
#13407, found on a live EE deployment (QA-source #13404, the same item) PUT /api/v1/meta/view/NAME of a container bound to note under another name. #13407's repair taught the readers the container's own object so that this shape serves. Yes, a live writer.
#21334, steps 3 and 8 (the 17.6.0 run in #21330, the same item) os_qa_shadow_probe saved on showcase_task. Ruling 5946423948 allowed "expands under the container's own name". Seat answer 5955628428 rejected refusal at save because it "blocks a legitimate 'add views to a shipped object' path". PR #21430 pins it (46 cases plus a REST dogfood pin). Yes, and a ruled arm.
#21412's seat answer 5961930912 It rejected judging the save door against the container's binding because that "refuses P2b, the body the door itself stores for the #13407 shape". The save door's own comment at BASE: "this door keeps a container saved under a name other than its object (#13407, #21334)". Pinned as P2 and P2b here and in packages/metadata/src/view-container-name.test.ts. Yes, a ruled arm.
Studio (objectui at its pin) Creators write view items: ObjectView through buildViewConfigSaveBody and viewEnvelope, ObjectDataPage through createRuntimeMetadata, the metadata-admin createBuildBody, and the flat configs of data-objectstack setViewConfig and createView. Re-savers: the metadata-admin ResourceEditPage saves a body under the name it carries, and data-objectstack updateView's draft path merges onto the stored draft without reducing a container to its list. Both re-save a container stored under a non-object name, under that name. No creator. Both re-savers would be refused by the broad check.
The in-repo AI author The MCP tools in packages/mcp/src/mcp-http-tools.ts are object, record and action tools: no metadata write. The published skills/objectstack-ui teaches defineView containers in source, with no top-level name. No. The cloud AI author is outside this repository: NOT MEASURED. The census is decided by the rows above either way.
Packaged containers (H4) An AST scan finds 13 defineView( call sites with an object-literal argument, outside packages/spec/src and tests, and 0 with a top-level name. The source registrars refuse a set name that disagrees with the derived object: the boot loop (engine.ts:7024), the artifact/HMR loader (plugin.ts:1192) and os validate (view-container-names.ts:101). No. H4 holds.
Stored rows The example apps seed no sys_metadata view rows; the one sys_metadata mention is a comment in the showcase connectors. Hosted tenants: NOT MEASURED. No seeded rows. Rows of the legitimate "named other than its object" shape exist wherever the item above ran.

H2, measured: what the broad check would have broken. A throwaway, trap-guarded probe planted the broad predicate at the save door at BASE, ran the full metadata-protocol suite, and was restored (blob 8a8053c40c94 equal to HEAD, git diff HEAD empty). It gave 127 of 3342 tests red, every one carrying the probe's own message:

PR #21430's REST dogfood pin was not run under the probe (NOT MEASURED). With this PR it passes, 4 of 4. The pins that encode a ruled arm (#13407, #21334, #21412) are evidence for the stop condition, alongside the writers above. The probe's first attempt was refused by ablation-replace because its replacement re-contained the anchor. Nothing ran, the tool restored, and the probe was re-spelled.

Every accept-set change at saveMetaItem, type view

Input Before After
A container saved under a name that another active stored container of the same object, in the caller's selection, expands to. Publish and draft mode, both scopes, both kernels. Accepted: stored, and registered on an unscoped kernel. The sibling's view under that name was then served by neither door. Refused VALIDATION_ERROR / 400. Nothing is stored or registered.
The same container with no body name (the door stamps the save name). Accepted. Refused, with the same envelope.
A form-only container under a sibling's form-expanded name, on an unscoped kernel with an environment-wide sibling (the registry holds the sibling's expanded item under the name). Refused INVALID_METADATA / 422: the identity stamp copied that item's viewKind onto the body. Refused VALIDATION_ERROR / 400 by this check, which now runs first.
Everything else. Unchanged. Unchanged.

What still saves (pinned on both kernels and in both scopes):

Rows already stored in this shape keep their bytes and read as they do today. Measured with the check ablated, on both kernels and in both scopes:

  • the object door lists nothing under the name;
  • the by-name read answers the raw second container;
  • the second container's own expansion takes crm_lead.default on both doors.

A new save of such a row is refused, and delete stays open. migrateStoredMetadata and duplicatePackage re-save stored rows through this door inside a try whose catch records the row: outcome: 'failed' with the refusal's text, or a failed[] entry. So they report such a row and never re-save it (H5, by construction: the check is not gated on source or writeFace).

The PM's mechanism hypotheses

The foreseen follow-up: a container saved under the name of a view item a package ships

This was measured in-process on both kernels with a throwaway test, deleted afterwards. It is a different mechanism, so it is reported to the seat as a finding and not changed here. The save was { name: 'showcase_task.in_progress', object: 'showcase_task', list } as showcase_task.in_progress: package-less and environment-wide, package-less and organization-scoped, and in a writable package.

  • Accepted before and after this change. Afterwards the object door lists nothing under showcase_task.in_progress, and the by-name read answers the raw container. showcase_task.form reads the same. showcase_task.default reads the same from a writable package; package-less, finding(metadata-protocol): the runtime save door accepts a view container saved under one of its own expanded names, and after #21510's rule no door answers a view item for that name #21558's check refuses it.
  • Package-less, it also replaces the packaged default. The row's package is read from the artifact of the same name, here a shipped view item, so the container is not judged cross-package. Its bare list then expands to showcase_task.default and replaces the packaged default on both doors, stamped _packageId: com.example.showcase.
  • Why it is a different mechanism: the displaced view is a packaged artifact, not a stored container's expansion, so this check, which reads stored rows, cannot see it. The paths are the readers' name-keyed overlay of a shipped item by a stored container row, and the package attribution in runtimeViewContainerPackage.

Tests

  • Premise, measured at the fix's own pins with the new throw ablated (the measurement half of the reverse verification below), and confirmed by the throwaway door probe on both kernels and both scopes:

    • the card's pair is accepted;
    • the object door answers nothing for crm_lead.pipeline;
    • the by-name read answers the raw container;
    • crm_lead.default answers the second container's list on both doors.

    With the fix: refused VALIDATION_ERROR / 400, and both doors answer the first container's views.

  • New pins: 50, in a #21620 block in view-container-runtime-expansion.test.ts, inside metadata: a view container with a bare list on another package's object silently replaces that object's packaged default view on GET /meta/view?object= — while the by-name read still serves the original #21334's faithful-registry harness.

    • Per kernel (env_local and unscoped) and per scope (environment-wide and organization-scoped):
    • Per kernel: an environment-wide sibling refuses an organization caller's save, and a control where another organization's container is not this caller's sibling.
    • Per kernel (patch round 1): the prescription names the sibling container, and never a save under its name.
    • Each refusal asserts the ADR-0112 envelope (code and status) and the two subjects it names. It also asserts that no row or draft is stored, that no container is registered under the name, and that the sibling's view still answers on both doors as the same item.
  • The file: 231 passed (181 pre-existing plus 50), at 13736a50f6.

  • The package, at 13736a50f6 (patch round 1; round 0 read 3371 passed at 5573152989):

    • pnpm --filter @objectstack/metadata-protocol exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2: Test Files 209 passed, 3 skipped (212); Tests 3373 passed, 19 skipped (3392); exit 0.
    • typecheck: exit 0. tsc --noEmit --listFiles includes the test file.
  • Downstream sample. Direction: consumers of @objectstack/metadata-protocol, against dist/ rebuilt by turbo run build --filter='./packages/*' --filter='./packages/*/*' --concurrency=2 (71 of 71 tasks). All pass; the rest of the downstream run is CI's.

  • The merge of origin/main (719644794c) moves no byte under packages/metadata-protocol or its dependency closure. So the suite, typecheck and ablation readings taken at 5573152989 read the same bytes.

Reverse verification

The fix was committed first (5573152989). A trap-guarded script then ran scripts/ablation-replace.mjs --delete on the anchor if (siblingExpansionRefusal) throw siblingExpansionRefusal;.

  • Mutation. The anchor went from 1 occurrence to 0, and the blob from 771b82e97372 to 1cb3741ebb3a.
  • Predicted direction: red.
  • Result. The file gave 34 failed and 195 passed.
    • All 34 are this block's refusal pins. 33 failed with expected null to be an instance of Error (the save accepted). 1 answered INVALID_METADATA instead of VALIDATION_ERROR (the form-only cell on the unscoped environment-wide kernel, the identity-stamp row in the table).
    • All 14 of this block's controls stayed green, and no other test moved.
  • Restore. git checkout HEAD -- ABS_PATH brought the blob back to 771b82e97372, equal to HEAD, and git diff HEAD was empty. Both the tool and the script's own trap proved this.
  • Patch round 1, from committed 13736a50f6, two legs:
    • (a) The prescription reverted to the old object-name arm: 2 failed and 229 passed, exactly the two new pins.
    • (b) The throw deleted: 36 failed and 195 passed. All 36 are the block's refusal pins, and the 14 controls stayed green.
    • Restore: blob 56bc12dce760, equal to HEAD, with git diff HEAD empty.
  • No dist leg. The subject is imported through ./index.js, the source.

Gates

node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack, with no paths, derived 64 families at 719644794c. That is the dispatch lead's 56 plus the 8 the changeset adds: check-adr-0087-registration ×2, check-empty-changeset ×2, release-rehearsal-clone --self-test, release-pending-publish --self-test, check:objectui-changeset and check:pm-changeset-deadline-census.

  • All 64 exited 0. pnpm check:lean-entry-closure first exited 3 (PREREQUISITE NOT MET: objectql's dist/ was absent). It exited 0 after the workspace build. check:dual-build-cjs-loads and check:type-check-debt ran through the verify lock, after the build.
  • --ran: 64 derived, 64 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN.
  • Patch round 1, at 13736a50f6: the same 64 families, all exit 0; --ran 64 derived, 64 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN.
  • check-adr-0087-registration accepts the changeset's not-required (no-migration-prescription) disposition.
  • Lint, narrowed. eslint --no-inline-config --format json over the 2 changed .ts files reports 2 files, 0 errors and 0 warnings (no "file ignored" message). Type-aware linting is never enabled (eslint.config.mjs:327-328; --print-config shows parserOptions.project and projectService both null), so files this diff does not touch cannot change verdict. Repo-wide pnpm lint is CI's.
  • Over REST, the refusal (PUT /api/v1/meta/view/NAME on a booted stack) is NOT MEASURED. The pins are in-process at the method that door calls, on both kernels, and the envelope is the one the same door's name refusals already carry through REST.

Acceptance notes

  • The ruled predicate's "same object", read literally, leaves two measured shapes open. Both are accepted on both kernels and in both scopes, and the sibling's view is gone from both doors:

    • a container bound to another object under a sibling's expanded name ({ object: 'crm_account', list } saved as crm_lead.pipeline);
    • an unbound container under it ({ list }, whose derived object is its own name).

    Both are refused if the check drops "of the same object" and keys on the name alone. No writer in the census saves either shape, so that change would refuse nothing legitimate. It is raised to the seat as an open question, not taken here, because the ruling's words name the same object.

  • A second container under a free name still takes a sibling's expanded name. Two containers of one object whose expansions share a name (both bare lists give crm_lead.default) are both accepted, and the later one's view answers that name on both doors. This is the card's step-3 symptom without this save, measured on both kernels and in both scopes. It is reported to the seat as a finding.

  • Scope and order:

    • An environment-wide save under the expanded name of an organization-scoped sibling is accepted, and for that organization the sibling's view is gone. Reading every organization's rows at an environment-wide save would be a cross-tenant read at a write door.
    • A second container stored first, before its sibling gains the member, keeps the name: the sibling's save is judged by its own name, which is its object's.

    Both are measured, and both are noted rather than filed.

  • Restore and publish doors. rollbackMetaItem, revertCommit and the draft promotion do not run this check, as for finding(metadata-protocol): the runtime save door accepts a view container saved under one of its own expanded names, and after #21510's rule no door answers a view item for that name #21558. A draft or version stored before this change, or a draft stored before its sibling existed, can still be written back in this shape. Kept to the claimed surface.

  • Cost. A save of a view container (only a container) reads the caller's active view rows once more, through the same overlay row cache the readers use. A view item pays nothing.

  • Declaration bytes. dist/index.d.ts gains one private member line. No public member or exported type changes.

  • .changeset/21620-container-sibling-expansion-name.md: '@objectstack/metadata-protocol': minor, Clause-②: no (narrowing), the BREAKING banner, and the ADR-0087 disposition not-required (no-migration-prescription).

…under a name another stored container of the same object expands to

A second container stored under a name a sibling container expands to
became that name's own row, so the sibling's expansion no longer filled it:
the object door listed nothing under the name and the by-name read answered
the raw container. The save door now refuses that save with
VALIDATION_ERROR / 400, judged by the readers' own row selection and
expansion, before the identity stamp.

📓 Docs Drift Check

This PR changes 1 package(s): @objectstack/metadata-protocol, touching 6 documentable anchor(s).

27 hand-written doc(s) name something this change touched — list omitted above 15 rows. Re-derive on the tree named below: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704.

⛔ 8 release-owned page(s) also affected — read-only, see AGENTS.md Documentation Guardrails.

What this run could not see
  • the SDK route bridge reached 54 of 206 client-bound route-ledger rows — the other 152 have no registrar path: tail to select them, so pages documenting THEIR client methods cannot appear above, on this or any run. Of those 152: 0 are remediable by widening that discovery convention (an in-repo file declares the path; the convention did not scan it); 55 are structural — on a ledger where NOT ONE row is declared in-repo, so no discovery change reaches them at any price; 97 are undecided (no in-repo declaration, on a ledger that has other in-repo registrars — absence and an unreadable spelling are not distinguishable here). The rows themselves: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --bridge-coverage
  • a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.
  • a key NAME is not a key, so the hand re-read the line above prescribes can land on the wrong schema. The same spelling is authorable on one governed type and a [REMOVED] tombstone on another for each of active, aria, joins, objects, template, tools and version (censused on [finding] tools is a key on BOTH AgentSchema (tombstoned, dead) and SkillSchema (live, cloud-attested), so a name-based search attributes skill examples to the agent key — it produced a false stop-the-line alarm on PR #19059 #19093 over the liveness ledger's governed types, top-level keys); nothing in a search result distinguishes the two, so a grep hit on a LIVE example reads as evidence about the DEAD key. Measured on fix(spec): the agent.tools liveness row says dead — it claimed live on a key the schema tombstoned #19059: content/docs/ai/agents.mdx was reported as contradicting the agent.tools tombstone over its tools: example at :161, which is inside the defineSkill({ block opened at :155 — the page was already correct. Settle ownership by PARSING the value against both schemas, never by the name: that literal PASSES SkillSchema, and as an AgentSchema it FAILS at tools with the tombstone prescription. ⛔ These names are not the whole class — a key retired through a .strict() guidance map leaves no tombstone in the walked shape and none of them here (tool.category, live as AIToolDefinition.category).

Coarse fallback — 11 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704 → packageMentionDocs.

Which tree this was computed on

This run read content/docs from 8c2545abd0208fcdf8a3cda333c1c7a163af1f2a — the merge of head 13736a50f64ea4a3ce6b76fa8e0b1f5b847bf912 into base 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704, which is what actions/checkout gives a pull_request run. Not the PR head.

A worktree cut from an older main holds a different content/docs, so re-deriving there can legitimately return a different list — that is a different tree, not a wrong row. To answer on the same tree:

# while this PR is open — GitHub drops the merge commit once it closes
git fetch origin 8c2545abd0208fcdf8a3cda333c1c7a163af1f2a && git checkout 8c2545abd0208fcdf8a3cda333c1c7a163af1f2a
# afterwards, rebuild it from the two parents, which stay fetchable
git fetch origin 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704 13736a50f64ea4a3ce6b76fa8e0b1f5b847bf912 && git checkout -B drift-repro 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704 && git merge --no-ff 13736a50f64ea4a3ce6b76fa8e0b1f5b847bf912

node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704

⚠️ That checkout carried uncommitted changes, so the commit above does not fully identify what was read.

Advisory only, and a precision-first one (#9192): a page is listed because it names a
symbol, wire route or SDK method this diff touched — not because it mentions a changed
package. Each row says which anchor put it there, so a wrong row is reportable rather than
merely annoying. To re-verify, run the docs-accuracy-audit workflow scoped to these files:
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs 5b5e83f446bde0bf6e13db304b9f07f115635704 → pass the list as
args.docs, on the commit named under Which tree this was computed on.

REWORK — PR #21637 at head 719644794c: one item, a patch round to the same dev

domain:engine#1 · session_017ErfyP2Rx7XWHJA27QjyUi · read at 2026-10-03T21:22Z. Everything else in the diff passes the seat's read. The census hit and the fallback match Partition 1's stop condition and the ruling's fallback. This is the one item that blocks.

The refusal's prescription can destroy the view it protects. containerSiblingExpansionNameRefusal tells the author: "Save the container under its object's name, 'OBJECT', or save a view item … under 'NAME'."

  • The measured case: the card's own pair, where the sibling is { name: 'crm_lead', object: 'crm_lead', listViews: { pipeline } }. Here the object's name already holds the sibling container.
  • Following the first arm literally saves the refused body under crm_lead. That replaces the stored sibling row and drops listViews.pipeline, the view this refusal exists to keep serving.
  • An AI author follows a prescription literally, so this is the "防 AI 写错" axis.

The ruling does not fix this wording for the fallback. Ruling 5972387356 attaches "the same prescription: save the container under its object's name, or save a view item under the expanded name" to the broad check, where the refused container is the one misnamed. The fallback's prescription is the seat's to set.

Asked:

  1. The sibling refusal's prescription names the stored container that expands the name (hit.container.name). It says to add the view as a member of that container, or to save a view item (name, object, viewKind, config) under NAME.
    • It never prescribes saving under a name that a different stored container already holds.
    • When hit.container.name is the object's name, the message must not tell the author to save the refused body there.
  2. One pin per kernel asserts the prescription names the sibling container and does not name a save under it. The existing envelope pins stay.
  3. Changeset: "The fix." carries the same two arms. finding(metadata-protocol): the runtime save door accepts a view container saved under one of its own expanded names, and after #21510's rule no door answers a view item for that name #21558's own-expansion message is out of this PR's surface, so leave it as it is.
  4. Merge origin/main if mergeable_state reads dirty. Re-run the changed file, the package suite, typecheck and the dispatch-gates union at the new head, and reconcile with --ran.

The open question (drop "of the same object", option B): not taken in this PR. The ruling names the same object. The seat files the two residual shapes, with the dev's measured options and recommendation, for triage to rule.

The refusal told the author to save the container under its object's name.
In the card's own pair that name holds the sibling container, so following
the arm literally replaced the sibling's row and dropped the view the
refusal keeps serving. It now names the stored container that expands the
name and prescribes adding the view as a member of it, or saving a view
item under the expanded name. One pin per kernel; the changeset's fix
carries the same two arms.

…sibling's name appears

The first spelling only asserted the message never says "under 'crm_lead'",
which the old wording ("under its object's name, 'crm_lead'") also
satisfied. Every occurrence of the sibling's name must now name it as the
container, or as the object a view binds to.

… that decided them (stage 13 of objectstack-ai#20595) (objectstack-ai#21640)

Part of objectstack-ai#20595
Clause-②: no

## What changed

Stage 13 of the `domain:engine` lane of the dead-citation sweep:
`packages/metadata-fs/**`, comment and docblock prose only, per the
claim (`5973452558`). Stages 1 to 11 landed as `a7d9768ec`, `d150c3039`,
`4bf4e7e70`, `13a24ece2`, `db0cf2231`, `85986144c`, `48fa7a381`,
`c205b6c35`, `c98a72d69`, `fd5a1cd59` and `f97660cdd`; stage 12
(`packages/formula`) is PR objectstack-ai#21635, in review, with a disjoint file
surface. objectstack-ai#20595 stays open: this PR does not touch `formula`, nor the
test-string sites the card carries for a widened stage, and the seat
decides the card's close-out.

Every comment or docblock site in the package that cited a tracker
number answering 404 is rewritten in ruling C+D's form C (record
`5749154545` on objectstack-ai#19123): the ADR when one records the decision,
otherwise the commit in this repository's history that made it. That is
**3 sites on 3 lines in 3 files, all citing one number (objectstack-ai#11021), all
re-anchored to one commit, `7d81c889f`**:

- **2 census sites** (2 lines: `src/repository.ts:230` and
`src/sync.ts:41`): the whole `allocated-but-absent` population of the
gate's own census in this package at the base;
- **1 test-comment site** (`test/close-terminates-watch.test.ts:103`),
outside the census glob (`test/` is not under `src/`, and the census
defers test files anyway). Same number;
- **outside the census glob, inside the claimed surface: none.**
`README.md`, `tsconfig.test.json` and `vitest.config.ts` carry 10
citations between them, and all 10 resolve on the enumerated board
(below); `package.json`, `tsconfig.json` and `tsup.config.ts` carry
none;
- **dead comment ids: none.** The package carries no ten-digit comment
id and no `issuecomment` or `discussion_r` link (git grep exit 1).

**Anchors: 1 number, by commit; 0 by ADR, 0 by repository qualifier; 1
sha.** `7d81c889f` is the anchor stage 1 (`a7d9768ec`) and stage 9
(`c98a72d69`) already chose for the same number; it is reused here and
re-proven below for this package's sentences.

Only comments changed. All three files keep their line counts (3 lines
out, 3 in, plus the changeset), so no line citation into any of them
moves. No code token moves (the guard below). All 6 changed lines under
`packages/` open with a comment marker. **No citation number is added**:
the only tracker number on a `+` line is `objectstack-ai#11127` on `sync.ts:41`,
carried over unchanged from the `-` line, and it resolves (a closed
issue). The only new nine-hex span is `7d81c889f`, 3 times.

**A `patch` changeset**: 1 of the 2 rewritten non-test lines is in the
published `dist` (the `FileSystemRepository.close()` docblock, in the
declarations and in the JavaScript esbuild emits), and `dist` is not
byte-identical with the base text (see Changeset).

## H0: the package and its size

The gate's own `node scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs --census --json`
at base `0fc80878f` (the before run below), `allocated-but-absent` per
remaining `domain:engine` package (stage 12's H0 list):

| package | before | after this stage |
|---|---|---|
| `metadata-fs` | **2** | **0** |
| `formula` | 4 | 4 (removed by stage 12, PR objectstack-ai#21635, not yet on `main`)
|
| `drivers/driver-mongodb`, `drivers/driver-turso`, `metadata-core`,
`core`, `metadata-protocol`, `objectql`, `metadata`,
`drivers/driver-sql`, `drivers/driver-memory`,
`drivers/driver-sqlite-wasm`, `plugins/plugin-pinyin-search`,
`platform-objects` | 0 each | 0 each |

`metadata-fs` reads 2, both objectstack-ai#11021, at `repository.ts:230` and
`sync.ts:41`, exactly as stage 12's head census (`b89eb86cb`) read it.
So the stage went ahead. On this branch's tree the lane total goes 6 to
4; with stage 12's PR it is 0.

## Census: `metadata-fs`, before and after

**Instrument.** The gate's own `node scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs
--census --json`, read-only and unchanged. The count is its
`allocated-but-absent` findings under `packages/metadata-fs/`.

| reading | tree | board | whole-repo `allocated-but-absent` | sites |
lines | files | numbers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| before | base `0fc80878f`, run 21:04:24Z to 21:07:44Z | enumerated,
195 pages, frontier objectstack-ai#21636, 19,457 records | 119 | **2** | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| after | `67f182575`, run 21:14:26Z to 21:17:43Z | enumerated, 195
pages, frontier objectstack-ai#21637, 19,458 records | 117 | **0** | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| head | `32de59091`, run 21:37:42Z to 21:40:56Z | enumerated, 195
pages, frontier objectstack-ai#21639, 19,460 records | 117 | **0** | 0 | 0 | 0 |

The whole-repo drop is 2, and the before and after finding sets differ
by exactly the 2 rows of this package, removed; none was added.
`resolves` (35,763), `resolves-as-pull-request` (2,383) and
`cross-repo-unjudged` (1,254) did not move: `objectstack-ai#11127` stays on
`sync.ts:41` and still resolves. The head's only later commit is the
changeset; the head run's finding set is identical to the after run's,
line numbers included.

**Supplementary instrument, the whole package.** The census reads
neither test files nor strings nor files outside `src`. A second reading
runs the gate's own exported `extractCitations` (whole-file and
comment-prose projections) over every tracked file in the package (24)
and classifies each citation with the gate's `classifyCitation` against
one board enumerated by the gate's `enumerateBoard` (195 pages, frontier
objectstack-ai#21636, 19,457 records, read from 21:09:16Z to 21:12:31Z), the same
board for both readings.

| reading | citations | dead | src comment | test comment | test string
| other files | changelog |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| before, `0fc80878f` | 137 | **5** | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| after, `67f182575` | 134 | **2** | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |

The citation count drops by 3, the 3 rewritten sites; no respelling
stays a citation. The live counts did not move (src comment: 39 resolve
as issues, 2 as pull requests; test comment: 44 and 9; test string: 10
and 0; files outside `src` and `test`: 8 and 2; changelog: 16 and 2). A
third, raw reading (every `#` followed by 2 to 6 digits, whatever
surrounds it, `CHANGELOG.md` aside) counts 117 before and 114 after:
also a drop of 3.

**Single reads** over the issues endpoint: objectstack-ai#11021 answers 404; objectstack-ai#11127
answers 200 (a closed issue: `FileSystemRepository.close()` never
reaching its broker); objectstack-ai#11136 answers 200 (the pull request whose squash
is `7d81c889f`).

## Per-number table

`src` counts census sites, `test` the test-comment sites.

| number | src | test | anchor | kind | source | what it decided |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `objectstack-ai#11021` | 2 | 1 | `7d81c889f` | commit | reused (stage 1 `a7d9768ec`,
stage 9 `c98a72d69`), re-proven here | `close()` terminates watch
iterators instead of emitting a drain event: it measured why a synthetic
drain event is the wrong shape (the filter and the numeric `since` drop
it, and delivering an event never ends an iterator), fixed that defect
in `SysMetadataRepository`, and wrote invariant 8 in `metadata-core`'s
`repository.ts` (the squash of PR objectstack-ai#11136) |

Each sentence, judged against the decision it describes rather than the
number:

- **`repository.ts:230`** says a synthetic drain event 「would be the
wrong shape and was measured to be so」. The measurement is
`7d81c889f`'s: its message and its invariant 8 text record both halves
(the filters drop it; delivery never ends an iterator). The
`metadata-fs` fix that wrote this docblock, `46644e25a` (objectstack-ai#11127), cites
objectstack-ai#11021 as that earlier decision.
- **`sync.ts:41`** sends the reader to invariant 8 in `metadata-core`'s
`repository.ts` and names the pair `(objectstack-ai#11021, objectstack-ai#11127)`. `git blame` at
the base puts invariant 8's statement (`repository.ts` :53 to :76) on
`7d81c889f` (its line :63 since re-anchored by stage 9), and its
conformance rows for `FileSystemRepository` and `InMemoryRepository`
(:77, :79 to :88) on `46644e25a`, the objectstack-ai#11127 fix. So the dead half of
the pair becomes `commit 7d81c88`, and the live `objectstack-ai#11127` stays.
- **`close-terminates-watch.test.ts:103`** contrasts this package's hang
with 「the sibling defect」: the filter-dependent drain-event drop in
`SysMetadataRepository`, which is the defect `7d81c889f` fixed.

The proof, per the earlier stages' standard:

- `git rev-parse --disambiguate=7d81c889f` matches exactly one commit,
`7d81c889f1f190a273e59ee584b7522ca6a792fa`.
- `git merge-base --is-ancestor` puts it under the base `0fc80878f`,
under `origin/main` `a1ca156da` at the time, and under `main`
`5b5e83f44` fetched later (exit 0 each; exit 0 is self-proving, and the
repository is not shallow).
- It names objectstack-ai#11021 in its message (the subject) and in its diff (7 diff
lines).
- `git blame` at the base puts all 3 changed lines on `46644e25a`, which
cites objectstack-ai#11021 as the sibling decision; that decision is `7d81c889f`'s
diff, as the three bullets above set out.
- No ADR names objectstack-ai#11021 or the drain-event decision (git grep over
`docs/adr` for the number, 「drain event」 and 「Shutdown terminates」, exit
1).

## Wordings to check

All 3 rewrites swap a tag in place, in forms the earlier stages already
use:

- `(objectstack-ai#11021)` became `(commit 7d81c88)` at `repository.ts:230` (stage
1's `(#N)` form).
- `(objectstack-ai#11021, objectstack-ai#11127)` became `(commit 7d81c88, objectstack-ai#11127)` at
`sync.ts:41`. The mixed commit-and-issue pair already stands in
`packages/cli` (`(commit 44813ba, objectstack-ai#14554)`).
- 「unlike the sibling defect in objectstack-ai#11021」 became 「unlike the sibling
defect commit 7d81c88 fixed」 at `close-terminates-watch.test.ts:103`,
the form
`packages/cli/src/commands/generate-multiple-json-column.pin.test.ts:57`
uses (「the defect commit ee370d3 fixed」).

**No reflow.** No line was reflowed, so `repository.ts:230` and
`close-terminates-watch.test.ts:103` are now longer than their block's
wrap. `eslint.config.mjs` declares no line-length rule, and a reflow
would move neighbouring lines. No file cites a line of any of the three
touched files (git grep exit 1), and neither changed phrase is quoted
elsewhere.

## Sites left

- **In comments (src, test, outside the glob): none.**
- **String literals: none.** The package's 10 test-string citations all
resolve.
- **Outside `src` and `test`:** the release-owned `CHANGELOG.md` names
objectstack-ai#13112 (line 47) and objectstack-ai#11021 (line 196), both answering 404; left.

## Mechanical guard: no code token moves

The guard compares base `0fc80878f` against the tree over all three
touched files, with TypeScript 6.0.3, to the earlier stages' two-reading
specification. The earlier guard scripts were scratch files, so it was
rewritten here to that specification and proven with the controls below.

- **Reading 1**: the parser's leaf nodes, from a `forEachChild` walk.
Comments are trivia there, and JSDoc is never visited. A leaf that is
not itself a token is re-scanned with trivia skipped.
- **Reading 2**: the full token stream in parser context, from a
`getChildren` walk, with JSDoc nodes skipped. String, template and
numeric literals are compared in full on both readings.

Results, at `67f182575` (the later commit touches none of the three
files):

- Real run: 6,075 base tokens (reading 2), **0 files with a token
change** (exit 0).
- Comment controls: 「awaiting the watcher,」 to 「… the WATCHER,」
(`repository.ts`), 「Best-effort cleanup:」 to 「Best-effort CLEANUP:」
(`sync.ts`) and 「bites on its own.」 to 「bites ON its own.」 (the test
file). 0 files changed (exit 0 each).
- Positive control, an identifier (`export function createBroker(` to
`createBrokerX(`, `sync.ts`): DIFFER on both readings (exit 1).
- Positive control, a string literal (the word 「no」 in the 「empty
filter, no since」 row label, to 「NO」, the test file): DIFFER on both
readings (exit 1).
- Positive control, a template literal (the `@` separator in the
sweep-failure key template, to `#`, `repository.ts`): DIFFER on both
readings (exit 1).
- Positive control, a numeric literal (`SETTLE_MS = 2_000` to `2_001`,
the test file): DIFFER on both readings (exit 1).

Each mutation went through `scripts/ablation-replace.mjs` (wrap mode;
the anchor hit 1 before and 0 after, and the blob changed). It ran under
a shell trap that restores by absolute path from `HEAD`. Each restore
was proven equal to its `HEAD` blob (`888f39203432`, `122a45dcb516`,
`0d266189d60c`), and afterwards `git diff HEAD` was empty and the tree
clean.

## Changeset: `patch` (`dist` measured)

`files[]` is `dist`, `README.md` and `CHANGELOG.md`, and the package is
not private. One script ran under the shared verify lock (VERDICT
command-exit 0, held 79s, shared-box seconds), at `67f182575`. It built
the dependency closure first (`pnpm --workspace-concurrency=2 --filter
'@objectstack/metadata-fs^...' build`, exit 0), then ran the package's
own `build` (tsup and `check-dts-emitted`) three times, exit 0 each:

- **Leg 1**, the head text: 6 `dist` files hashed (`index.js`,
`index.cjs`, their sourcemaps, `index.d.ts`, `index.d.cts`). 1 of the 2
rewritten non-test lines appears verbatim in `dist`: the `close()`
docblock line (`repository.ts:230`), in `index.d.ts`, `index.d.cts`,
`index.js` and `index.cjs` (esbuild keeps that docblock). The other
(`sync.ts:41`) sits on an interface that is erased from the JavaScript
and never reaches the declarations (grep exit 1).
`scripts/ablation-dist-preflight.mjs` finds the head marker 「was
measured to be so (commit 7d81c88)」 in those 4 files with a clean tree
(exit 0).
- **Leg 2**, the base text put back in `repository.ts` and `sync.ts`
(proven equal to their base blobs `d551426a7545` and `48798bcf7661`,
written to the tree only, 0 paths staged): 4 of the 6 files differ from
leg 1 (`index.js`, `index.cjs`, `index.d.ts`, `index.d.cts`); the two
sourcemaps do not. The preflight finds the base marker 「was measured to
be so (objectstack-ai#11021)」 in the same 4 files (exit 0).
- **Leg 3**, after the proven restore (equal to the `HEAD` blobs
`888f39203432` and `122a45dcb516`, `git diff HEAD` empty, porcelain
empty): all 6 files are byte-identical to leg 1. The preflight's
`--absent` reading of the base marker exits 0 with a clean tree. So the
build is deterministic, and the difference is the rewrite.

So the rewrite ships.
`.changeset/20595-metadata-fs-provenance-anchors.md` declares a `patch`
for `@objectstack/metadata-fs`, comment text only, with the claim's
`Clause-②: no` line. The anchor is a commit, so the changeset names no
ADR, repository qualifier or bracketed substitution. It says which
published files carry the reworded text, as measured above. The
changeset commit touches no file under `packages/metadata-fs`.

## Gates (head `32de59091`)

- **Derived gates:** `node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo
objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands` at `32de59091` (4 paths against
merge base `0fc80878f`) derived 61 commands. All 61 ran (21:25:07Z to
21:36:22Z, after the workspace build), each exit code captured before
any pipe: 61 exit 0. `--ran` reports 「61 derived, 61 run, 0
NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN」 (a derived zero) and exits 0.
- The dispatch's lead derivation (47 commands, one path) is a subset.
The extra 14 are:
- the eight families the `.changeset/` path adds: the ADR-0087
registration and empty-changeset pairs, `check:objectui-changeset`,
`check:pm-changeset-deadline-census` and two release self-tests;
    - `check:type-check-coverage` and `check:type-check-debt`;
- four gates whose sources name the touched files:
`check:engine-double-contract`, `check:objectql-double-limit`,
`check:query-options-erasure` and `check:where-matcher`.
- **Named readings:**
- `node scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs` exits 0 (1 citation judged
across 2 files: the carried-over `objectstack-ai#11127`, which resolves).
- `pnpm check:issue-citations` exits 0 (its self-test, 173 cases, 9
batteries).
- `pnpm check:doc-authoring` exits 0 (the sibling-package prose-id
baseline holds, no growth).
- `pnpm check:nul-bytes` exits 0 (10,001 files, no raw control bytes),
and a control-byte grep over the 4 changed files finds none (exit 1).
- The changeset gates exit 0: `check-adr-0087-registration` (「1
non-breaking changeset(s) seen」), `check-empty-changeset` (「1 declaring
changeset(s) added」), `check-changeset-no-major` (「no `major` bump」),
and `check:changeset-gate-self-tests`. The Clause-② level axis of
`check-changeset-no-major` reads the pull request body, so it does not
apply to a local run; that reading is CI's.
- **Build, tests and typecheck, under the verify lock**, at `32de59091`:
- The workspace build (`turbo run build --filter='./packages/*'
--filter='./packages/*/*' --concurrency=2`): VERDICT command-exit 0,
held 198s, shared-box seconds; 71 of 71 tasks, 20 cached.
- The tests and typecheck: held 33s. `pnpm --filter
@objectstack/metadata-fs test`: 10 test files pass, 70 tests pass (exit
0). `pnpm --filter @objectstack/metadata-fs typecheck` (`tsc --noEmit`
and `tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json`) exits 0.
- `tsc --listFilesOnly` puts every touched file in a program:
`repository.ts` and `sync.ts` in both configs, and
`close-terminates-watch.test.ts` in `tsconfig.test.json`, whose program
holds all 10 test files.
- No importing package owes a run, because the declaration files change
only in comment text.
- **Lint, as a proven narrowing, at `32de59091`:**
- eslint ran with inline config disabled (`--format json`) over the 3
touched files plus `dist/index.js` as the control.
- 4 results: 0 errors, and 1 warning, which is the control's ignore
notice. No touched file is reported ignored, and `--print-config`
resolves a config for each.
- `eslint.config.mjs` never enables type-aware linting (its lines 327
and 328 say so; `--print-config` shows no `parserOptions.project` and no
`projectService`), so a comment edit cannot move the verdict on an
untouched file.
  - The repo-wide `pnpm lint` is CI's run.

## Acceptance notes

- **Base, and no merge.** The dispatch read `origin/main` at
`0fc80878f`, and the worktree was cut there. Every reading above is on
this branch's own tree. Before this PR was opened, `main` moved 4
commits, to `5b5e83f44` (`objectql`, `driver-sql` and
`service-analytics`, `spec`).
- None of them touches `packages/metadata-fs`,
`check-issue-citations.mjs` or `dispatch-gates.mjs`.
- A local `git merge-tree` of the head with `5b5e83f44` is clean (exit
0), and the anchor `7d81c889f` is under it too (`--is-ancestor`, exit
0).
- The gate's diff mode, run in a scratch checkout of `5b5e83f44` against
`0fc80878f`, judges the 26 citations those 4 commits add: all 26
resolve. So they add no dead citation to the lane's packages.
- The branch is not merged with them: the gate derivation reads the
three-dot change set against the merge base `0fc80878f`, and CI and the
merge queue run on the merged ref.
- **History.** The repository is not shallow (`git rev-parse
--is-shallow-repository` answers false), so no deepening was needed
before the blame, ancestry and history readings.
- **The same dead numbers outside this package's comments**, each left
to its own carrier: `CHANGELOG.md` (objectstack-ai#13112 and objectstack-ai#11021, release-owned).
- **Wording only:** no line without the number was changed.

…stored view container never takes a name already served from elsewhere (objectstack-ai#21639, objectstack-ai#21638) (objectstack-ai#21648)

Fixes objectstack-ai#21639
Fixes objectstack-ai#21638
Clause-②: no (narrowing)

objectstack-ai#21638 carries its own claim on this branch (5975022936), as the
Closing-Target Claim Guard requires for every card a PR closes. Triage
folded it into objectstack-ai#21639's claim.

The runtime save door's accept set narrows: one predicate now refuses a
stored view container whose save name, or any name its expansion
produces, is a name already served from elsewhere. Nothing widens. A
package-less container row stored under the name of a view item a
package ships now belongs to no package, as triage's fold of objectstack-ai#21638
rules. Dispatched by `domain:engine` seat 1 under claim 5974259402 (file
surface corrected by 5974270195), branch
`claude/issue-21639-view-container-collision`. Triage's ruling
5973827435 and its fold 5973838571 are implemented as written.

## What changed

All of it is in `packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts`, the
claimed surface. The producer is the save door itself, so nothing moved
to another package.

- **One predicate replaces the two one-shape checks.**
`viewContainerNameCollisionRefusal` replaces objectstack-ai#21558's
`containerOwnExpansionNameRefusal` and objectstack-ai#21620's
`containerSiblingExpansionNameRefusal` at the same place in
`saveMetaItem`: after `savedItemNameRefusal`, before
`normalizeViewMetadata`.
- **What the container would serve** is its expansion as the readers
place it: `expandRuntimeViewContainer` with the request's package
binding, the binding the row is stored under. The body judged is the
authored one with the door's own `name` stamp applied first.
- **Elsewhere (1), another stored container's expansion in the caller's
selection, whatever its object.** These are the rows
`readActiveOverlayRows` selects through the readers' gate
`organizationIdForMetaRead`, with no package filter. Each is parsed by
`storedOverlayEntries` and expanded by `expandStoredViewContainers` with
its own binding. The row stored under the save name is left out, because
it is the row this save replaces. The `same object` qualifier is gone,
as ruling (1) B says, and so is the now-unused
`deriveViewContainerObject` import.
- **Elsewhere (2), a view item a package ships.** `lookupArtifactItem`
answers, and the artifact must carry `viewKind` (`isShippedViewItem`, a
new module-level predicate). One exception: the views of the shipped
container this row overlays by its own name
(`overlaidShippedContainerViewNames`). ADR-0005 keys an overlay by its
own name, so that container's views are the row's own to replace.
- **The cells, in order:** the save name against a sibling's expansion,
then against a shipped view item, then against its own expansion
(objectstack-ai#21558's shape); then each expansion name against a sibling's
expansion, then against a shipped view item. The first collision
answers.
- **The envelope** is unchanged: `VALIDATION_ERROR` / 400, with no new
code. Every message names the other owner (the stored container, the
shipping package, or "its own expansion") and gives the family's
prescription. That is: add the view as a member of the container that
owns the name, or save a view item under the name. For a shipped name:
save a view item under it, or a name or key of its own. ⛔ No arm
prescribes a save under a name another stored row holds. objectstack-ai#21558's
own-expansion arm used to say "Save the container under its object's
name" even when a stored container held that name. It now names that
container to add the view to.
- **Prescription first, explanation last.** A 4xx message crosses the
REST boundary bounded at 500 characters with its tail cut
(`CLIENT_MESSAGE_MAX`). The first REST probe of this branch received the
shipped-arm prescription cut mid-word, so every message now front-loads
the owner and the prescription. The pin asserts both inside the first
500 characters (objectstack-ai#17584's ordering rule).
- **The attribution half (objectstack-ai#21638), in `runtimeViewContainerPackage`.** A
package-less row whose same-named shipped artifact is a view **item**
(`viewKind` set) now answers no package: "A container row is not an
overlay of the item, so it is attributed to no package." A package-less
row under a shipped **container**'s name keeps that container's package,
as before. A bound row is unchanged.

## Census, taken first (the ruling's stop conditions)

**(2): does a live writer save a second container of one object on
purpose?** Readings are at BASE `7b07749f05`, re-read after merging
`origin/main` (head `d5101d1831`). objectui was read at the old pin
`89cad75d55` and at the new pin `ab1879721595`, which `origin/main`
moved to while this ran.

| Census input | Evidence | A second container of one object, a
container under another container's expanded name, or a container under
a shipped view item's name, on purpose? |
|---|---|---|
| objectstack-ai#13407's authoring path: the platform checklist's live view-authoring
item `studio-authoring.view-authoring-live` (P1, revision 2) | Step 1
saves ONE container, `qa_repair_asset_views` = `{ object:
'repair_asset', list, form }`, on a runtime-authored object. No other
checklist item stores a container on `repair_asset`. objectstack-ai#13407's own repro
(a container bound to `note` under another name, per PR objectstack-ai#21637's census)
is one container too. | No. |
| objectstack-ai#21412's P2 / P2b (seat answer 5961930912) | One container,
`lead_views`, bound to `crm_lead`. Pinned in the `objectstack-ai#21412` block of the
same test file, still green. | No. |
| objectstack-ai#21334's arm (rulings 5946423948, 5955628428) | It expands under the
container's own name, `OBJECT.CONTAINER_NAME` and
`OBJECT.CONTAINER_NAME.KEY`, never a name the owning package ships.
Pinned as two allowed rows below. | No. |
| Studio's metadata editor re-save (objectui at both pins) |
**Creators** write view items: the metadata-admin `createBuildBody`
(`anchors.ts:291`, "Emit a canonical ViewItem"), the spec create seed
for `view` (`metadata-create-seeds.ts:62`, `viewKind: 'list'`), and the
flat configs of `data-objectstack` `createView` and `setViewConfig`.
**Re-savers** save the loaded body under the name it carries:
`ResourceEditPage` (`:1477`), the Interfaces pillar's
`StudioDesignSurface` (`:2475`, new at `ab1879721595`), and
`updateView`. | No creator writes a container. A re-saver writes a
colliding container only when the store already holds the collision, and
that re-save is now refused until its body stops colliding. |
| Package duplication (`duplicatePackage`, a writer through this door,
outside the ruled set) | Throwaway probe, deleted afterwards. A
container `pone_extra_views` in `com.example.pone`, bound to `crm_lead`
(outside the package, shipped by no code package), duplicated into
`com.example.ptwo`. **At BASE:** copied, and the object door's
`crm_lead.default` became the copy's, wearing `_packageId:
com.example.ptwo`. The source package's view was silently replaced. **At
HEAD:** `failed[]` carries this refusal, naming `pone_extra_views`, and
the source's view stays. | Yes, as a byproduct; not on purpose, as this
dev reads it. The copy is meant to be an independent base, and the
collision is the defect itself. Raised as an open question in the
report. |
| `migrateStoredMetadata` | It re-saves rows already stored, inside a
`try` that records `outcome: 'failed'`. | Not a creator. |
| The in-repo AI author | The MCP tools in
`packages/mcp/src/mcp-http-tools.ts` have no metadata write.
`skills/objectstack-ui` teaches `defineView` in source. | No. The cloud
AI author is outside this repository and the ruled set: **NOT
MEASURED**. |
| Packaged containers and stored rows | Source registrars never reach
this door. The example apps seed no `sys_metadata` view rows. Hosted
tenants: **NOT MEASURED**. | n/a |

**The attribution half: does a live overlay path depend on a
package-less container row taking a shipped item's package?**
- **Callers.** `runtimeViewContainerPackage` is called by
`expandRuntimeViewContainer` (and by the new
`overlaidShippedContainerViewNames`). `expandRuntimeViewContainer` is
called by `expandStoredViewContainers` (the list read, the by-name
read's `resolveRowlessExpandedView`, and this predicate), by
`hydrateExpandedViewItems` (the registry), and by the predicate itself.
- **The overlay that does take a package is unchanged and pinned
(CONTROL):** a package-less row under the package's own container name.
That is the path behind the checklist's
`packaged-display-class-direct-edit` designer overlay.
- **No writer stores a package-less container under a view item's
name.** Studio's creators write view items, the save door now refuses
the shape, and the restore doors and draft promotion re-write only
bodies already stored.
- **Verdict:** no live overlay path depends on it, so the ruling's
attribution lands.

## Every accept-set change at `saveMetaItem`, type `view`

Each row covers publish and draft mode, both scopes and both kernels.
"Stored container" means one in the caller's selection.

| Input | Before (BASE `7b07749f05`) | After |
|---|---|---|
| A container bound to **another object**, under a name a stored
container expands | Accepted: stored, and registered on an unscoped
kernel. The sibling's view under that name was served by neither door,
and the by-name read answered the raw container. | **Refused**
`VALIDATION_ERROR` / 400, naming the stored container. Nothing is stored
or registered. |
| An **unbound** container under such a name | Same as above. | Same as
above. |
| A container whose expansion takes a name a stored container already
expands: a second container of one object whose bare `list` takes
`OBJECT.default`, under a free name or under the object's name |
Accepted. The one read last replaced the other's view on both doors. |
**Refused**, naming the stored container. |
| A container under the name of a **view item a package ships**:
package-less, organization-scoped, or bound to a writable package |
Accepted. The packaged view was no longer listed on the object door, and
by-name answered the raw container. Package-less, the row also took the
shipping package, so its bare `list` replaced `OBJECT.default` on both
doors with that package's `_packageId`. | **Refused**, naming the
package. |
| An overlay of a package's own container whose member takes the name of
a view item **the package ships on its own** | Accepted. The member
replaced that packaged view on both doors. | **Refused**, naming the
package. |
| A container under its own expanded name (objectstack-ai#21558), or under a name
another stored container of the same object expands (objectstack-ai#21620) | Refused
`VALIDATION_ERROR` / 400. | Refused, with the same envelope. The
prescription now comes first, and the own-expansion arm no longer
prescribes a save under a name a stored container holds. |
| A `form`-only container under a registered view item's name | Refused
`VALIDATION_ERROR` / 400 under objectstack-ai#21558 or objectstack-ai#21620. Under any other
registered name: 422 from the identity stamp. | Every shape this
predicate covers is refused `VALIDATION_ERROR` / 400 first, before the
stamp. |
| Everything else | Unchanged. | Unchanged. |

**Rows already stored.** They keep their bytes, and no row is re-saved.
A package-less container row stored under a shipped view item's name now
reads as belonging to no package:
- On that package's object it expands under its own name
(`showcase_task.showcase_task.in_progress`), with no `_packageId` and no
default.
- The packaged views it used to replace (`showcase_task.default`, or
`showcase_task.edit` for a `listViews.edit` member) are served again on
both doors (pinned).
- The row still takes its own name's slot on both doors. That is the
read doors' name-keyed overlay, out of surface and unchanged.

A new save of a row in a refused shape, a re-save included, is refused
until its body stops colliding. Delete stays open.

## The enumeration pin (the card's acceptance)

`view-container-runtime-expansion.test.ts`, block `objectstack-ai#21639`. Each row
runs on both kernels (`env_local` and unscoped) and both scopes, unless
the row names one scope.
- **A refused row asserts:**
  - `code` and `status`;
  - the save name, the colliding name and the owner;
- the owner and the view-item prescription inside the first 500
characters;
- that no stored row's name is ever prescribed as a name to save under;
  - in publish and in draft mode, that nothing is stored or registered;
  - that the owner's view still answers on both doors.
- **An allowed row asserts** that it saves, and that each named view
answers on both doors.
- **The structural tests fail when:**
  - a row is neither refused nor allowed, or is both;
  - a ruled shape has no row;
  - a cell of the predicate has no refused row.

| # | Shape | Verdict | Owner named / reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A container under a name its own expansion produces (objectstack-ai#21558's
own-expansion name) | REFUSED | its own expansion |
| 2 | The same, while a stored container holds its object's name |
REFUSED | its own expansion; the prescription names that container |
| 3 | A container of the same object under a name a stored container
expands (objectstack-ai#21620's sibling) | REFUSED | the stored container `crm_lead` |
| 4 | A container bound to **another object** under that name ((1)'s
other-object container) | REFUSED | the stored container `crm_lead` |
| 5 | An **unbound** container under that name ((1)'s unbound container)
| REFUSED | the stored container `crm_lead` |
| 6 | A second container of one object, free name, bare `list` on
`OBJECT.default` ((2)'s second container default) | REFUSED | the stored
container `crm_lead` |
| 7 | A container under its object's name, after a free-named container
took `OBJECT.default` | REFUSED | the stored container
`lead_other_views` |
| 8 | A package-less container under a shipped view item's name
(objectstack-ai#21638's shipped item name) | REFUSED | the package
`com.example.showcase` |
| 9 | A writable-package container under a shipped view item's name |
REFUSED | the package `com.example.showcase` |
| 10 | An overlay of the package's container whose new member takes a
view item the package ships on its own | REFUSED | the package
`com.example.showcase` |
| 11 | A view item under a stored container's expanded name (allowed:
objectstack-ai#21510's sanctioned override) | ALLOWED | a view item is not a
container: it is that name's sanctioned override |
| 12 | A view item under a shipped view item's name | ALLOWED | the
sanctioned override of the packaged view by name |
| 13 | A container under its object's name (allowed) | ALLOWED | the
container contract's own name (ADR-0017 §3.2), and nothing it expands is
served elsewhere |
| 14 | A container's own re-save | ALLOWED | the row under the save name
is the row this save replaces |
| 15 | A container under a name of its own beside a sibling, with names
the sibling does not expand | ALLOWED | the census writers' shape,
colliding with nothing |
| 16 | An overlay of the package's own container, by its own name |
ALLOWED | ADR-0005: the row stands in for the shipped container and its
views |
| 17 | A package-less container on another package's object | ALLOWED |
objectstack-ai#21334's arm: its names derive from its own name |
| 18 | The same, in a writable package | ALLOWED | objectstack-ai#21334's arm, bound
to its own package |
| 19 | Under another organization's container's expanded name
(organization scope) | ALLOWED | the caller's selection decides, as it
does for the readers |
| 20 | An environment-wide container under an organization's container's
expanded name (environment scope) | ALLOWED | the caller's selection
decides; reading every organization's rows at an environment-wide save
would be a cross-tenant read |

## The PM's mechanism hypotheses

- **H1, confirmed** at `7b07749f05`. `saveMetaItem` called
`containerOwnExpansionNameRefusal` and then
`containerSiblingExpansionNameRefusal`, both before
`normalizeViewMetadata` and both `VALIDATION_ERROR` / 400. Both are
replaced by the one predicate.
- Every objectstack-ai#21558 and objectstack-ai#21620 pin keeps its envelope and its intent: the
file is green, and leg 1 below turns all of them red.
- objectstack-ai#21558's showcase pins now also assert the owner the predicate names.
Every name they save under is one the showcase ships, so the
shipped-item arm answers there. The objectstack-ai#21620 block gains a one-paragraph
note.
- **H2, measured.**
- The allowed shapes collide as follows. A container's own re-save
collides with nothing once its row is left out. An overlay of its own
package's container collides with every packaged name it re-expands; the
overlaid container's views are excluded, as the ruling's ADR-0005
reading requires. objectstack-ai#21334's own-name arm collides with nothing.
- **The line drawn:** a container under its object's name is allowed
when it expands no name served elsewhere. Saved after a free-named
sibling of that object took `OBJECT.default`, it is (2)'s shape and
refused (row 7).
- **H3, confirmed.** "A view item a package ships" is
`lookupArtifactItem`, the registry's artifact read, which never answers
a tenant-authored row, holding an artifact with `viewKind` set.
- The first spelling ("not a container") refused
`sys-metadata-repository.package-writability.test.ts`'s ADR-0005 overlay
preservation pin. That fixture's artifact stub is neither a container
nor a view item. The predicate is now positive, and that pin is green.
  - objectstack-ai#21510's sanctioned override stays allowed (rows 11 and 12).
- **H4, confirmed.** The callers and the live overlay path are listed
above. Rows stored before this change get the reading named above.
- **H5, kept by construction.** The predicate is not gated on `source`
or `writeFace`, so `migrateStoredMetadata` and `duplicatePackage` record
the refusal as the row's failure. Duplication was measured (the census
row above).

## Tests

All readings are at HEAD `d5101d1831` unless named otherwise.
- **Premise.**
- **Method:** the new pins, run against BASE's `protocol.ts` (blob
`56bc12dce760`), restored by a trap-guarded script. Restore proof: blob
`e5765e5ba0f9` equal to HEAD at `0af0f28e49`, and `git diff HEAD` empty.
The command: `vitest run src/view-container-runtime-expansion.test.ts -t
'objectstack-ai#21639|objectstack-ai#21638'`.
  - **Result: 40 failed, 50 passed** (231 skipped).
  - **Red:**
- the 7 newly refused shapes × 2 scopes × 2 kernels (28), each failing
on `the save is refused`;
- row 2 × 4, where BASE's arm reads "Save the container under its
object's name, 'crm_lead'" while a stored container holds `crm_lead`;
- the 8 attribution pins, where the packaged label and config were
replaced.
- **Green:** rows 1 and 3, every allowed row, the 2 structural tests,
and the 4 attribution controls.
- **New pins: 90.**
  - The enumeration block: 2 structural tests + 76 row cells.
- The `objectstack-ai#21638` attribution block: 2 at-rest cases + 1 control, × 2
scopes × 2 kernels.
- **The file:** 321 passed (231 pre-existing + 90).
- **The package:** `pnpm --filter @objectstack/metadata-protocol exec
vitest run --maxWorkers=2` gives Test Files 209 passed, 3 skipped (212);
Tests 3463 passed, 19 skipped (3482); `VERDICT command-exit 0`.
- **Typecheck:** `pnpm --filter @objectstack/metadata-protocol
typecheck` (`tsc --noEmit`) exits 0, and `tsc --noEmit --listFiles`
includes the test file.
- **Downstream sample.**
- **Direction:** consumers (downstream) of
`@objectstack/metadata-protocol`.
- **Build:** against `dist/` rebuilt at `d5101d1831` by `turbo run build
--filter='@objectstack/dogfood^...'
--filter='@objectstack/metadata-protocol...' --concurrency=2`: 63 of 63
tasks. The built `dist/index.js` carries the new predicate, and the old
method names are gone from it.
- **`objectql`, 11 files, 229 tests:** `protocol-meta`,
`protocol-view-identity-overlay`, `protocol-org-overlay-registry-gate`,
`protocol-commit-history`, `protocol-packaged-view-base`,
`protocol-save-meta-repo-path`,
`protocol-save-meta-repo-path-real-engine`,
`view-container-divergent-name-registrars`,
`view-container-name-refusal`, `engine-nested-plugin-view-expansion`,
`metadata-validation-sweep`.
  - **`rest`, 1 file, 7 tests:** `public-form-routes.stored-row`.
- **`dogfood`, 2 files, 7 tests:**
`view-container-cross-package-default` (PR objectstack-ai#21430's pin over REST) and
`view-container-default-form`.
  - All pass. The rest of the downstream run is CI's.
- **Over REST**, measured with a throwaway dogfood probe on the booted
showcase, deleted afterwards:
- `PUT /api/v1/meta/view/showcase_task.in_progress` with a container
answers 400 `VALIDATION_ERROR`, and the object door still serves
`showcase_task.in_progress` as "In Progress" from
`com.example.showcase`;
  - a second container on one runtime object answers 400;
  - a view item under the shipped name answers 200.

## Reverse verification

The change was committed first. Both legs ran from committed
`e5ac5cf14a`, the same `protocol.ts` blob as HEAD, since the later merge
touched nothing under `metadata-protocol`. Each leg was a trap-guarded
script around `scripts/ablation-replace.mjs --delete`.

- **Leg 1, the predicate's throw**, anchor `if (containerCollision)
throw containerCollision;`.
- **Mutation:** the anchor went from 1 occurrence to 0, and the blob
from `f853b383e1b2` to `be22198e5e1f`. Predicted direction: red.
- **Result: 104 failed, 217 passed.** That is every refusal pin in the
file: the objectstack-ai#21639 refused rows (40), objectstack-ai#21558's showcase block (24),
objectstack-ai#21620's block (36) and objectstack-ai#21558's runtime-object block (4).
- **Green:** every allowed row, every control and the attribution block.
- **Restore:** blob `f853b383e1b2`, equal to HEAD, and `git diff HEAD`
empty. Both the tool and the script's trap proved it.
- **Leg 2, the attribution guard**, anchor `if
(isShippedViewItem(overlaid)) return undefined;`.
- **Mutation:** the anchor went from 1 occurrence to 0, and the blob
from `f853b383e1b2` to `55cc79455d20`. Predicted direction: only the
at-rest pins turn red.
- **Result: 8 failed, 313 passed.** Exactly the 8 at-rest attribution
pins turned red. The 4 controls and every save-door pin stayed green.
  - **Restore** proven the same way.
- **No dist leg.** The subject is imported through `./index.js`, the
source.

## Gates

`node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo
objectstack-ai/objectstack`, with no paths, at `d5101d1831` derives
**64** families. That is the dispatch lead's 56 plus the 8 the changeset
adds:
- `check-adr-0087-registration` ×2;
- `check-empty-changeset` ×2;
- `release-rehearsal-clone --self-test` and `release-pending-publish
--self-test`;
- `check:objectui-changeset` and `check:pm-changeset-deadline-census`.

- **All 64 exited 0.** `pnpm check:dual-build-cjs-loads` first exited 3:
PREREQUISITE NOT MET, because 8 packages had no `dist/`. It exited 0
after those were built through the lock.
- `check:dual-build-cjs-loads` and `check:type-check-debt` ran through
the verify lock.
- **`--ran`:** "64 derived, 64 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN".
- `check-adr-0087-registration` accepts the changeset's `not-required
(no-migration-prescription)` disposition.
- **Lint, a declared narrowing.**
- **Measured:** `eslint --no-inline-config --format json` over the 2
changed `.ts` files reports 2 files, 0 errors and 0 warnings, with no
"file ignored" message. The changeset `.md` has no matching ESLint
configuration.
- **No untouched file can change verdict:** type-aware linting is off.
`eslint.config.mjs:328` says so, and `--print-config` shows
`parserOptions.project` and `projectService` both null.
  - Repo-wide `pnpm lint` is CI's.
- **Branch state:** `origin/main` was merged twice, `f30588ceb7` and
then `d5101d1831`. Neither moved a byte under
`packages/metadata-protocol`.

## Acceptance notes

- **Rows of one name in two bindings.** "The row under the save name"
excludes every row of that name in the selection, as objectstack-ai#21620's check did.
Two containers sharing one name in two bindings are therefore not judged
against each other: a package-less row and a writable package's row, or
a duplicate whose name carries no namespace prefix. Read, not measured.
- **An environment-wide save, an organization's sibling (row 20).** The
save is allowed by the ruling's "in the caller's selection", and for
that organization the sibling's view is gone. Noted, not filed.
- **Restore and publish doors.** `rollbackMetaItem`, `revertCommit` and
the draft promotion do not run the predicate, as for objectstack-ai#21558 and objectstack-ai#21620.
A draft saved before its sibling existed can be promoted into a
collision.
- **A disabled package's shipped view item still counts as served,**
because the registry's artifact read does not ask whether the package is
enabled.
- **A stored row's own name is not "elsewhere"** in the ruling. A
container stored at a name before a sibling gains a member of that name
keeps the name, as PR objectstack-ai#21637 noted.
- **The at-rest objectstack-ai#21638 row still takes its own name's slot on both
doors.** That is the read doors' name-keyed overlay, out of the claimed
surface.
- **Cost.** A container save reads the caller's active view rows once,
through the readers' row cache, as objectstack-ai#21620's check did. It also asks the
registry's artifact read once per name it would serve. A view item pays
nothing.
- **Declaration bytes.** `dist/index.d.ts` swaps two private member
lines for two: `viewContainerNameCollisionRefusal` and
`overlaidShippedContainerViewNames`. No public member or exported type
changes.
- **The changeset** is
`.changeset/21639-view-container-name-collision.md`:
`'@objectstack/metadata-protocol': minor`, `Clause-②: no (narrowing)`,
the **BREAKING** banner, the ADR-0087 disposition `not-required
(no-migration-prescription)` written from this census, and a
before/after per shape.
