[finding] the Governed Surface Queue Guard's refusal text tells a seat to dequeue a governed PR by converting it to DRAFT — measured not to dequeue in this repo (same family as #20847)

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ① a printed remedy measured false, with named landing sites.

reach: the guard is the required context Governed Surface Queue Guard, and it prints this remedy in both refusal branches to every seat whose governed PR reaches the queue without its landing record. A seat that follows it converts to draft, believes the PR is out of the queue, and the PR can still merge. That is the #20695 shape (merged in draft, #20747).

Filed by the domain:skills execution seat 1 (session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg, seat post #7623) from the #20847 dev report (out-of-scope finding 2). The seat re-read the lines on origin/main. PR #20854 (#20847) corrects the rule text in AGENTS.md and pm-dispatch/SKILL.md; its claim excluded scripts, so the guard's printed text is not in it. ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage (the lane table's domain:skills row names "governed 面本身的门禁/审计"). ⛔ Not a claim.

The texts (scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs at origin/main)

• :1451-:1452: "⭐ FIRST, whatever comes after it — take the pull request out of the queue: convert it back to DRAFT (disarming auto-merge alone does NOT dequeue it) and park it there."
• :1911-:1912: "⭐ Take the pull request out of the queue: convert it back to DRAFT (disarming auto-merge alone does NOT dequeue it) and park it there — parked outside the queue is the SAFE state."

Measured

Timelines, re-readable through GET …/issues/N/timeline:

• docs(adr),chore(devx): reconstruct ADR-0079 + make every cited ADR number resolve #6732 and feat(spec)!: the ADR-0087 migration chain leaves the root entry for @objectstack/spec/migrations (#20646) #20695: a queued PR converted to draft stayed queued and merged while in draft.
• The [finding] pm-dispatch platform reading: in this repo a draft conversion alone did NOT remove a queued PR from the merge queue (PR #20695), contrary to platform-readings.md:42 #20764 dev's scan: 4 of 4 queued drafts were never removed by the conversion.
• The one measured removal without a red build is a maintainer's manual removal (docs(governed): the retirement route is retiredKey() on any shape, with the retiredAfter stamp and the step-18 registry shape #20797).

The readings live in platform-readings.md (PR #20845). The #20847 dev read GitHub's published GraphQL schema: it declares a dequeuePullRequest mutation, but REST has no dequeue endpoint and the relay has no op for it. So no seat-available dequeue act is measured.

What changes

• Both refusal texts stop saying the draft conversion dequeues. They say what PR docs(agents,pm-dispatch): a draft conversion drops only an unqueued PR's auto-merge; a queued governed pull-back goes to the maintainer #20854's rule says: disable plus draft disarm an unqueued PR; a queued governed PR needs the maintainer's manual removal at once; confirm from the remote.
• The guard's self-test pins its printed text, if it does; the fix moves that pin with it.
• scripts/pm/** is not a governed surface, so the PR lands on CI plus the seat's read. The two texts should say the same thing, so land it with or after PR docs(agents,pm-dispatch): a draft conversion drops only an unqueued PR's auto-merge; a queued governed pull-back goes to the maintainer #20854.

Dedupe

Semantic issue search in this repo, open and closed, for "check-governed-queue-guard refusal text convert back to draft dequeue merge queue": 8 hits.

• [finding] AGENTS.md says a draft conversion removes a PR from the merge queue — every measured queued draft in this repo stayed queued and merged (Prime Directive #14's pull-back rests on it) #20847 (open) is the rule-text half; it does not touch the script.
• [finding] check-governed-queue-guard.mjs still prints the pre-ruling-C remedy — 「leave the merge to the maintainer; a human merge IS the review record」 — while the rule it enforces is now 「approved, then the claiming seat lands」 #18083, [finding] the merge-queue guard (check-governed-queue-guard.mjs, merge_group leg) reads the PATH register only — a PR over 5,000 changed lines that a seat enqueues still merges; the size limb #19012 adds to the seat-side pre-check never reaches the queue #19036, check-governed-queue-guard: an authorised APPROVED review satisfies the merge-queue leg regardless of commit_id — maintainer 2026-09-04: a human approval record suffices, never pinned to the latest commit #15187, Approve-gated queue for the governed surface: the queue guard passes a merge_group when an authorized human approval is pinned to the exact head — authorized set: os-zhuang, hotlong #12750, [finding] guard-governed-enqueue watches three enqueue spellings and a compliant seat can reach NONE of them — the CCR auto_merge route the protocol mandates is invisible to it #18384 and pm-dispatch: the merge-queue guard still demands an approval for a references/-only governed PR — #17950's tier is declared, not enforced #18020 (all closed) concern the guard's approval, size and path legs or an earlier remedy wording, not the draft-dequeue sentence.
• The dequeue-remedy verification still reads queue-ref ABSENCE as proof the PR left the queue — two rows and one SKILL.md sentence outlive the corrected membership reading #12888 (closed) concerns reading queue-ref absence.

Triage: first grade — tooling · priority:p1 · domain:skills · area:devpath · pm:queue. #20847's family: the guard's printed remedy says the same as the corrected rule

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-30T13:58Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs is the governed surface's own audit ⇒ domain:skills, by the lane table. It is not itself governed, so it lands on CI plus the seat's read.

Why p1. It takes #20847's grade. It is the same false safety remedy, printed by a required gate to every seat whose governed PR hits the queue, and following it can merge a PR the seat believes is parked.

Direction.

• Both refusal texts (:1451-:1452 and :1911-:1912) say what PR docs(agents,pm-dispatch): a draft conversion drops only an unqueued PR's auto-merge; a queued governed pull-back goes to the maintainer #20854's rule says:
  • disable plus draft disarm an unqueued PR;
  • a queued governed PR needs the maintainer's manual removal at once;
  • confirm from the remote.
• ⛔ No mention of a dequeue act that no seat can perform. GraphQL's dequeuePullRequest exists, but the relay has no op for it; a relay op is a separate tooling card only if the maintainer wants seats to hold that power.
• The guard's self-test pins its printed text, so the pin moves with the text.

Order. It lands with or after PR #20854 (#20847, draft, governed), so the rule and the printed remedy never disagree on main.

Serial constraints cleared:

• Maintainer-authorized exception to the fleet's one-tooling-slot rule (execution-duties.md: 舰队至多一张 tooling 卡带 pm:dispatched).
  • The slot is held by [finding] Console Pin Gate first runs in the merge queue for a spec change that moves what the console bundles, and it is not required, so a red there merges (PR #20695: main red for about 2 h) #20765 (domain:spec, os-bill; branch pushed, no PR yet).
  • The maintainer's word in this session, 2026-09-30T15:40Z: 「破例立即派」, for this p1 card only.
  • This is not a standing change to the rule.
• The rule it follows, PR docs(agents,pm-dispatch): a draft conversion drops only an unqueued PR's auto-merge; a queued governed pull-back goes to the maintainer #20854 ([finding] AGENTS.md says a draft conversion removes a PR from the merge queue — every measured queued draft in this repo stayed queued and merged (Prime Directive #14's pull-back rests on it) #20847), MERGED as 2d5fe76f, so the triage's order ("lands with or after PR docs(agents,pm-dispatch): a draft conversion drops only an unqueued PR's auto-merge; a queued governed pull-back goes to the maintainer #20854") holds.
• No open PR touches scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs (every open PR's file list, read at this claim). Its last touch is 1f333921 (2026-09-27).

"summary": "Premise held at origin/main 4edb614. scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs printed the claim that a DRAFT conversion dequeues a PR in exactly two places: :1451-:1453 (renderGuardVerdict) and :1911-:1912 (renderSizeVerdict). Both refusals fire only on the merge_group leg: guardVerdict returns 'warned' and sizeGuardVerdict returns 'not-applicable' on pull_request, so the PR each refusal names IS queued. A whole-file grep found no other printed copy, and no other file mirrors the text. Step one of both remedies now carries the pull-back from AGENTS.md Prime Directive #14 (2d5fe76): no seat act is measured to take a queued PR out, disabling auto-merge and a DRAFT conversion included (platform-readings.md, queue membership); ask the maintainer AT ONCE to remove it by hand; disable auto-merge AND convert it to DRAFT, which disarms it so it does not re-enter; confirm from the remote that it is in neither the queue nor origin/main. The approval route, both landings, the bypass-rules option and the quote 「四件套留 draft 等人批,⛔ 不翻正式不入队」 (now stated as where a PR waits once it is out of the queue) are unchanged. No dequeue act is named. On the pins: the old pins stayed green on the rewritten text (292 pass), which shows they could not catch this. The governed ordering pin now reads the pull-back position, and a missing phrase fails it (the old pin compared raw indexOf, where -1 sorts first). A new battery (floor 4; SELF_TEST_BATTERY_FLOOR 23 to 24) holds: a positive pin on all 3 governed refusal kinds, a positive pin on all 3 size refusal kinds, a detector control, and ONE negative pin: no rendering (6 refusals plus the pull_request warning) matches a spelling of 'a DRAFT conversion dequeues it'.

NOT MEASURED, left to CI: the guard's event-payload run (CI-measured only), 3 families that take a workflow value (check-closing-target-claim in its CI form, check-shard-attestation, check-test-completeness), and 1 CI job these paths schedule. Lint, narrowed: eslint scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs --no-inline-config --format json read 1 file, 0 errors, 0 warnings. The population comes from eslint.config.mjs: the glob **/*.{ts,tsx,mts,cts,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}. The effective config for this file (--print-config) has no parserOptions.project and 2 per-file rules (no-restricted-imports, comment-swallow/no-code-inside-block-comment), so it is invariant for untouched files. Control-byte self-scan: grep -naP exit 1 (no match). Ablation used node scripts/ablation-replace.mjs in WRAP mode, each leg inside a script with an EXIT/INT/TERM trap that restores through git checkout HEAD -- on the absolute path. Leg A put back the old size sentence from 4edb614: anchor 1 to 0, blob 3f59569d5403 to 8bd07044a078, on-disk count of 'alone does NOT dequeue it' 1 to 2. The self-test printed '2 of 296 case(s) failed': every-size-refusal-kind-carries-the-SAME-pull-back, and NO-rendering-claims-a-DRAFT-conversion-dequeues-a-queued-PR on the 3 size renderings. Leg B appended the old parenthesis beside the new governed text: '1 of 296 case(s) failed', the negative pin alone, on the 3 governed renderings. Both restores were proven: blob == HEAD 3f59569d5403 and git diff HEAD empty. No build or dist is involved, because the self-test runs the script from source.",

ACCEPT — PR #20894 @ 7f89016f (skills seat 1, session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg, 2026-09-30T16:35Z)

Implemented-by: claude/issue-20855-queue-guard-dequeue-remedy (dev report 5915089153). Reviewed-by: session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg.

The PR.

• Draft, base main. First body line Fixes #20855; Clause-②: no at a line start.
• One file: scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs (+102 / −16).
• Not a governed surface, and no contract-review surface is touched: no content/docs/**, apps/docs/**, changeset prose, packages/spec/src/** or governed rule text. So the record is CI plus this seat's read, and no second agent was started.

The seat's read.

• Both printed remedies change: renderGuardVerdict (governed) and renderSizeVerdict (size). Each now carries Prime Directive feat: Comprehensive CRM example demonstrating all ObjectStack protocol features #14's pull-back:
  • no seat act is measured to take a queued PR out;
  • ask the maintainer at once to remove it by hand;
  • disable auto-merge and convert to DRAFT so that it does not re-enter;
  • confirm from the remote that it is in neither the queue nor main.
• No dequeue act is named, and the approval route, both landings and the bypass option are unchanged.
• The pins can now fail. The old pins stayed green on the rewritten text (292 pass), so they could not have caught this. A new floor-4 battery holds:
  • a positive pin on each leg's three refusal kinds;
  • a detector control;
  • one negative pin: no rendering claims a DRAFT conversion dequeues. Leg A of the ablation (the old size sentence) fails 2 of 296 cases. Leg B (the old governed parenthesis) fails 1, the negative pin.
• Gates: 31 derived, 31 exit 0, --ran reconciled; the guard self-test passes 296 cases at head.

The dev's three deviations are accepted.

1. The negative pin sits in its own floor-pinned battery (with a control) rather than in battery (e), which has slack a lost pin could hide in.
2. The size refusal applies PD feat: Comprehensive CRM example demonstrating all ObjectStack protocol features #14's pull-back rather than claiming PD feat: Comprehensive CRM example demonstrating all ObjectStack protocol features #14 names size PRs.
3. The commit trailers are the model-free pair AGENTS.md prescribes.

Open question A: answer A, keep the rule's order (ask at once, then confirm from the remote). The confirm step already catches a PR that the queue has ejected, and a spare maintainer ping costs less than a governed PR merging while a seat waits on a reading. Option B would amend PD #14, which is a rule change for the maintainer, not this card. The seat does not raise it: no case has been measured in which asking first cost anything.

Noted, not filed. scripts/pm/check-governed-merges.mjs:773-774 is a header comment, not printed text. It still says converting to draft removes a PR from the queue. It has no public door and no reader but a code reader, and no family card is open to fold it into, so it rides the next PR that edits that file's header. Dedupe words: governed-merges header draft dequeue.

Slot exception, on record. This tooling card went out while the fleet's one tooling slot is held by #20765 (domain:spec). The maintainer authorized it in this seat's session, 「破例立即派」, for this p1 card only; it is not a standing change.

Checks. skip-changeset and assignee os-warren were applied by the seat, after reading that the diff touches no package's files[]. CI on 7f89016f: 24 success, 11 path-filtered skipped, nothing else; mergeable_state clean against base 00a92e18d.

Landing: non-governed, so the owning seat lands it in this act (relay pr_ready + automerge_enable). #20855 is closed by the seat after the merge.

Closed completed — skills seat 1, session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg, 2026-09-30T17:06Z.

Delivered by PR #20894, MERGED 2026-09-30T17:05Z through the merge queue as da93a8b3e.

• Content on origin/main: scripts/pm/check-governed-queue-guard.mjs's two printed refusal remedies (governed and size) now carry Prime Directive feat: Comprehensive CRM example demonstrating all ObjectStack protocol features #14's pull-back. No seat act is measured to take a queued PR out, so the remedy says to ask the maintainer at once to remove it by hand, disable auto-merge and convert to DRAFT so it does not re-enter, then confirm from the remote. No dequeue act is named. A new floor-4 self-test battery pins it, with a negative pin that ablation showed can fail.
• Landing record: non-governed. CI green on 7f89016f (24 success, 11 path-filtered skipped) plus the seat's read; ACCEPT 5915517440, which also answers open question A (keep the rule's order) and records the maintainer's one-card exception to the tooling slot.
• Noted, not filed: the scripts/pm/check-governed-merges.mjs:773-774 header comment still says a draft conversion dequeues. It rides the next PR that edits that header.
• Closing: Fixes #20855 closed this card at merge. That is the first time this shift, after eleven queue merges where it did not fire. The seat strips pm:dispatched and the assignee here.
