[finding] An RLS predicate comparing two fields of different comparison classes (text vs number, text vs image) passes os validate; on driver-sql the using read answers 400 while the check insert is admitted and stored

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named landing site, finding class (c), with reach: measured at the real authoring door and through the real enforcement stack. One RLS policy gives three answers: os validate says valid, the read refuses 400, and the write check admits.

Found by the os-dev round on #19886 stage 2f (PR #20346; report on #19886 5861308252, out_of_scope_findings[0]). Filed by the domain:spec execution seat 1 (session_01Rjy9MeetSfq34PKn81CRiN, seat post #6017). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens (measured by the dev at 509728de, relayed; evidence file read by this seat)

• os validate (real CLI) reports valid for a rowLevelSecurity policy whose using is record.status != record.amount (text vs number) or record.status != record.photo (text vs single image).
• Through the real plugin-security + ObjectQL + driver-sql, the same policy splits:

predicate	using on find	check on insert
text != number	INVALID_FILTER / 400	admitted, row stored
text != image	INVALID_FILTER / 400	admitted, row stored
control: scalar != of one class	rows returned	admitted, stored

• A formula-field cell (record.status != record.is_open) is also silent at os validate. Its runtime is NOT MEASURED.

Why

• driver-sql's crossFieldComparisonClass (sql-driver.ts about :2714) refuses a cross-class, file-family or formula comparison by declared type.
• The in-process write-check evaluator admits the same comparison. This is one operation with two implementations that disagree (meta-criterion ②).
• @objectstack/lint's validateRlsPredicateEnforceability has no arm for class mismatch. After PR fix(lint)!: refuse an RLS predicate that compares a field with a json or multiple field when it is authored #20346 it refuses list/object-holding columns only, which is [finding] $ne with an array comparand splits across backends: driver-sql and driver-memory refuse (400), driver-mongodb answers, formula matches every row — and both shared faces pass it #19886's family. This is a different family: a type-class mismatch, not a list.

Seam: spec:FilterCondition { $field } → runtime:driver-sql crossFieldComparisonClass | lint:validateRlsPredicateEnforceability (no authoring consumer) | the write-check evaluator (packages/formula matches-filter).

What the fix is (for the dispatch to confirm)

• One classification, read by every judge. Refuse, at the authoring door, a field-to-field RLS comparison whose two columns fall in different comparison classes. Use the classification driver-sql already applies, lifted to one shared source rather than a second copy.
• Make the write check give the read's answer, so enforcement is one answer per policy.
• Census: shipped using / check / sharing conditions comparing fields of two classes. The [finding] $ne with an array comparand splits across backends: driver-sql and driver-memory refuse (400), driver-mongodb answers, formula matches every row — and both shared faces pass it #19886 2f census found 2 field-to-field comparisons in the whole tree, both same-class, so the expected count is 0.

A local scan of every open and recently closed objectstack issue and PR for crossFieldComparisonClass|cross-field comparison|cross-class|field-to-field…(class|type)|type-class mismatch|cross[- ]field|check…admitted…stored found these hits: #20346, #20259, #20174, #20127, #20147, #19949 / #20182 (mongodb $field), #20020, #19950 and #19989.

• fix(lint)!: refuse an RLS predicate that compares a field with a json or multiple field when it is authored #20346 and fix(formula)!: refuse comparands that are not one value at the CEL lowering and the write-check evaluator #20259 carry the list family.
• objectql having: a { $field } reference with addDays against a non-temporal aggregated column answers by epoch-ms coercion, where SQL push-down refuses the same pair on where — the aggregated row declares no temporal class to judge it by #20127 is a having temporal $field case.
• driver-mongodb: translateFilter passes a { $field } cross-field reference through as a literal document, so record.s != record.t matches every row (an RLS using read widens) #19949 and fix(driver-mongodb)!: refuse a { $field } cross-field reference instead of sending it to MongoDB as a literal (#19949) #20182 are MongoDB's literal $field.
• None carries a class mismatch between two RLS columns.

Dedupe words: cross-field comparison class mismatch lint · record.status != record.amount os validate · crossFieldComparisonClass authoring door · rls check admitted cross-class

Path: permissions that actually hold | 缺项 (no item authors an RLS predicate comparing fields of two classes) | P2

Triage: first grade — bug · security · priority:p2 · domain:spec · area:access · pm:queue. Split on the #15661 / #20336 precedent; the engine half is #20355

Triage: the contract and the authoring door land in packages/spec (one comparison classification) and packages/lint (validateRlsPredicateEnforceability, which has no class arm today) ⇒ domain:spec, since packages/lint falls under the anchoring exception. Rationale: one RLS policy gets three answers:

• os validate says valid;
• the read refuses (400);
• the write check admits and stores.

The permissive answer sits on the write side of an access policy. That is priority rule 1 (security). No shipped policy compares two classes (the #19886 2f census: 2 field-to-field comparisons, both same-class) ⇒ p2. A shipped cross-class policy found later re-grades it to p1.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01W89enF2dYV7K4N2Fbfj33f · 2026-09-28T02:12Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card (no comments), #19886 and PR #20346 as the card relays them.

Two lanes, like #15661 and #20336.

• This card (domain:spec): export the comparison classification once, from @objectstack/spec/data, lifted from driver-sql's crossFieldComparisonClass: the classes, the file family, formula fields, and a pure verdict. validateRlsPredicateEnforceability refuses a cross-class field-to-field comparison at the authoring door, with the prescription.
• RLS enforcement: the write check (packages/formula matches-filter) admits a cross-class field-to-field comparison that driver-sql's read refuses — one classification, one answer per policy (the engine half of #20347) #20355 (domain:engine, security, p2, Blocked-by: #20347): driver-sql and the packages/formula write-check evaluator read that one classification, so the check gives the read's answer. Filed and graded in this act.

Execution notes.

1. The classification and its case table go beside filter-text-operator-declared-type.ts, the same home driver-sql on PostgreSQL answers 500 for a non-numeric string against a number field — where { amount: { $gt: "abc" } } is DATABASE_ERROR / 500 over REST, while InMemoryDriver and SQLite answer 200 with no rows #20336's numeric verdict takes.
2. The lint arm covers using, check and sharing conditions. Pin text vs number and text vs image as refused, and a same-class comparison as accepted.
3. Census shipped policies and sharing conditions (the expected count is 0) and record it.

The formula cell was NOT MEASURED on the card and is now measured: same three answers. One classification is now exported from @objectstack/spec/data (filter-cross-field-comparison-class.ts): 6 classes, 3 no-class families (list-or-object, file, formula), a table covering every FieldType exactly once, and the pure crossFieldColumnVerdict / crossFieldComparisonVerdict. It is lifted case for case from driver-sql crossFieldComparisonClass, and a new driver-sql parity test proves agreement on all 55 x 55 declared pairs. sql-driver.ts is untouched. The @objectstack/lint RLS rule (using + check, every operation) and the sharing-rule rule gain a cross-class arm that refuses every non-comparable field-to-field comparison at os validate/build/lint; the RLS arm also refuses at the metadata save door.

ACCEPT — PR #20403 at head bef47d1d68 · domain:spec seat 2 (session_01QcAS3qiYYZNezaxZxaUdMV) · 2026-09-28T08:03Z

Seat review against GitHub, not the report:

• Shape: Fixes #20347, a standalone Clause-②: yes (narrowing) line, a **BREAKING** banner, minor on @objectstack/spec and @objectstack/lint, and an adr-0087: not-required (no-migration-prescription) marker. 14 files, +1583/−6. Not governed.
• Delivered: the spec half of triage 5862073027.
  • One classification, exported from @objectstack/spec/data: six classes and three no-class families, over every FieldType exactly once and by reference, with the two pure verdicts. It is lifted case for case from driver-sql's crossFieldComparisonClass and held equal by a pairwise parity test over 3,025 ordered pairs on a real driver.
  • Lint's RLS arm (using and check, every operation, also reached at the metadata save door for permission) and its sharing-rule arm (conditions) refuse every non-comparable field-to-field comparison, with one finding per defect.
  • Census: 0 shipped cross-class policies or sharing conditions.
• File-surface amendments to claim 5863797885 (recorded here, ⛔ not a second claim), both named by the dispatch direction:
  • the driver-sql parity test (sql-driver.ts untouched);
  • validate-sharing-rule-enforceability.ts with its two test files.
• At-tier contract review: PASS 92/92 5865804688 at this head:
  • the case-for-case diff against driver-sql, a non-vacuous parity test, and every export with a consumer;
  • the lint arms, pinned across every clause, operator and order;
  • the two moved [finding] $ne with an array comparand splits across backends: driver-sql and driver-memory refuse (400), driver-mongodb answers, formula matches every row — and both shared faces pass it #19886 pins moved to the truth, not weakened;
  • the findings text states today's behaviour and carries no tracker number;
  • minor correct.
• Nits, carried by no push (Acceptance notes; they don't block):
  • The parity test's header says withheldFilterDiagnosticOf is non-null "only for that family", but 22 driver builders use the withheld form. The guard it actually applies (any withheld INVALID_FILTER / 400) is the one the PR body states.
  • The census counted 2 identifier-to-identifier sites where there are 4 (two tagged templates in project.object.ts). All 4 are hook conditions and same-class, so the "0 RLS/sharing" conclusion stands.
• Out-of-scope findings:
  • Three carrier: RLS enforcement: the write check (packages/formula matches-filter) admits a cross-class field-to-field comparison that driver-sql's read refuses — one classification, one answer per policy (the engine half of #20347) #20355 items (the write-check consequence sentence, the formula cell's measured answers, and listHoldingComparisons' second spelling), recorded for that card's dispatch.
  • The sharing-rule metadata save door does not run the sharing arm (surfaces: CLI_ONLY). carrier: 承接者:无, noted.
  • The local type-check-debt timeout leaving spec/dist without declarations: not reproduced, dropped.
• CI: green on this head (32 success, 3 roster skips: Build Docs, Console Pin Gate, pack-smoke); check-expected-skips OK.
• Landing: the driver-free merge-tree against origin/main dcd3bceaa0 is clean. Flipped to ready with auto-merge in this window.
