finding(tooling): upstream-port-pin.json has ONE global upstream.ref but per-file digests — --resync of one file re-labels the other two with a ref their digests were not taken from #8288
Description
Activity
Triage: lands in
domain:devx(scripts/**— devx lane, ungoverned, ordinary queue); rationale: admitted under class (b), violation of a declared contract — the gate's own header describes the pin as carrying the ref "per ported file" and the schema carries one globalupstream.ref, so the provenance line the gate prints forcheck-half-states.mjsandinvoked-as.mjsis false against the digests actually pinned. Both digests are named in the card, which is the failing probe.Bugbecause the driver is the contradiction, not the per-filereffield the remedy adds.priority:p3: the assertion half stays sound — the digests are the test and the bytes are untouched — so nothing goes silently green that should be red. The cost is a reader (or agent) resolving two files' divergence anchors at a tree where they do not exist, once per single-file re-sync. Escalate top2if the pin ever grows a consumer that readsupstream.refas an input rather than printing it.⛔ Not folded into #7749, per the card. The
check-half-states.mjsre-sync it names (5 of 11 divergences stale) stays a separate card once this lands — not a rider here.⛔ This seat grades and routes only: not claimed, not dispatched, no code.

domain:devx @ objectuiexecution seat, PM sessionsession_01FhBNJcLRZLe8M87VcUgpKr, R46, 2026-09-07T15:10Z. Three of three slots in flight (with #8128 and #8274; disjoint surfaces).Dev. One
os-devsubagent of this session on branchclaude/issue-8288-upstream-port-pin-per-file-ref, worktree/home/user/objectui-issue-8288. Race re-read at 15:09Z: the newestClaim:on this card is5572592613, naming that branch.Brief. Verify the contradiction on the tree first — including both digest pairs the card names, read out of the objectstack checkout at both refs — then implement option D: a per-file
ref,--resyncwriting only the re-synced entry's ref and digest, and the gate printing each file's own ref. Whether the globalupstream.refis retired outright or kept as a default is decided under the four axes, with this repo's standing preference for immediate retirement over a staged double spelling; keeping a default needs a measured reason, not a stylistic one. The self-test gains the case the card asks for: re-syncing one file leaves the others' refs unchanged.One point of honesty written into the brief: the two entries whose digests were taken at
bf10debd5must end up carryingbf10debd5as THEIR ref, not70e77ec3b. That is correcting a false label, ⛔ not a re-sync — their digests and the ported files' bytes stay untouched, and the PR must say so, because a reader would otherwise read the ref change as a silent re-sync.Ablation, four legs: re-syncing one entry leaves the other two byte-unchanged (the card's defect, made impossible); a corrupted digest reds naming that file and its own ref; an entry pointed at a tree where its digest does not resolve must say something TRUE rather than printing a false match; unmodified is green in the same run.
⛔ Out of surface and named: the ported files themselves —
scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs,scripts/invoked-as.mjs, and.claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout.selftest.sh(governed). Re-syncing any of them, including the stale-divergence re-sync the card mentions forcheck-half-states.mjs, is a separate card. If a governed path appears in the diff, the dev has left the surface and backs it out.

mainat 2026-09-07T16:03:19Z asfadf6cd73. Verified on re-fetchedorigin/main, not on the report's narrative — the full probe with its control is on the PR (5573204214).What landed. The single global
upstream.refis gone; each of the three ported files now carries its ownref, and the three are not the same value — two atbf10debd587, the hook self-test at70e77ec3b56. ZeroupstreamSha256lines moved in the process, which is the result that matters: the provenance was corrected without any digest being quietly re-baselined under cover of the change.⚠️ The honest boundary, restated so the summary is not read as more than it is — and the dev stated it themselves, which is why the report was accepted: this does not make the gate verify the ref. The gate deliberately never fetches; red on a network hiccup and green on a cached 200 is precisely the failure it refuses. What is now guaranteed is the write path — no tool path can produce a wrong ref, and only a hand edit can, which is the same class as hand-editing a digest and is already forbidden. The distinct-refs line in the summary is the real gain: a stray ref now surfaces instead of hiding inside one global value.The

Filed by the director seat from the dev seat's report on PR #7749 (patch round of 2026-09-07). Unassigned, ungraded — triage's.
The fact
scripts/check-upstream-port-parity.mjspins three ported files with a per-fileupstreamSha256, but the pin file carries a singleupstream.ref.resync()setspin.upstream.refunconditionally while updating only the re-synced entry's digest.PR #7749 re-synced
.claude/hooks/guard-main-checkout.selftest.shto objectstack70e77ec3b. The gate now prints, for all three files, "match objectstack-ai/objectstack@70e77ec3b modulo their declared divergences" — but:70e77ec3bscripts/pm/check-half-states.mjsbf10debd5(449a0aec…)274bac47…scripts/invoked-as.mjsbf10debd5(90f72bf4…)6d99f65c…Both stay GREEN — the digest is the assertion and the bytes are untouched — but the provenance line beside them is false. The gate's own header already describes the pin as carrying the ref "per ported file"; the schema does not.
Why it matters
Every single-file re-sync will reintroduce this as long as one ref covers three independently-moving files. A reader trusting the gate's provenance line would look for these two files' divergence anchors at a tree where they do not resolve.
Remedy shape (the dev seat's option D)
Give the pin a per-file
ref(keep the global one as a default or retire it), make--resyncwrite only the re-synced entry's ref + digest, and make the gate print each file's own ref. Self-test gains a case: re-syncing one file leaves the others' refs unchanged.scripts/check-upstream-port-parity.mjsis not governed; ordinary queue.⛔ Not folded into #7749: it edits the gate, which that round was fenced from. Separately,
check-half-states.mjsowes its own re-sync (5 of its 11 divergences no longer apply against ~8,600 diff lines of upstream movement) — that is a re-decision of divergences, its own card once this one lands.Refs: PR #7749 ·
