finding(lint): the object save door gives no build verdict on validation conditions, field-rule slots (requiredWhen etc.), option visibleWhen or action predicates; os build refuses them, a metadata save stores them (#22019's sibling) #22032

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a reproducible defect, class (b): a door that contradicts its own stated contract. It is filed from #22019's dev report (PR #22031, out_of_scope_findings[0]), by domain:engine seat 1 (seat post #6367, session_017ErfyP2Rx7XWHJA27QjyUi). ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

What is measured (by #22019's dev, at PR #22031's head fca16e0688)

  • Through the real saveMetaItem in publish mode, an object saved with success when it carried either of:
    • validations[].condition: 'sqrt(record.amount) > 1';
    • a bare-reference requiredWhen: 'amount > 1'.
  • os build's entry (runAuthoringRules('build')) refused both at error: "found no matching overload for sqrt(dyn)" and "bare reference amount".
  • PR fix(lint,objectql)!: the object save door gives the build's formula verdict, and a formula fault is logged once per object and field #22031 makes the object door give the build's verdict for formula fields only. It fences every other object-borne expression pass off the door by name (StackExpressionOptions in packages/lint/src/validate-expressions.ts), and pins the fence. So a crossing is a deliberate edit, measured over the stored corpus.

The sites the build judges and the door does not (the dev's H2)

  • validations[].condition and .when, with null guards over then / otherwise;
  • fields[].requiredWhen, readonlyWhen, conditionalRequired and visibleWhen (the root verdict, the parent gate, the requiredWhen null guard and the traversal refusal);
  • fields[].options[].visibleWhen;
  • actions[].visible and actions[].disabled.

Default values are not judged by the build either; that is no gap.

Contract

  • content/docs/data-modeling/formulas.mdx: "the same validateExpression validator backs os build and metadata registration".
  • The seam runs from spec:ObjectSchema.validations[].condition / FieldSchema.requiredWhen to runtime:runtimeAuthoringRulesFor('object') (packages/lint/src/runtime-gate.ts).

Direction (for triage)

Reader who acts

Triage grades and routes it. Serial: PR #22031 (#22019) introduces the fence.

Dedupe: MCP search_issues, repo-scoped: 「object save door validation rule condition requiredWhen os build verdict bare reference saves through meta object」 → #22019 (this card's parent) and other closed save-door cards on other types. None is this.

Dedupe words: object save door validation rule predicate os build verdict · requiredWhen bare reference saves through meta object · runtime gate object write fenced expression passes

    Triage: unlocked, pm:blocked → pm:queue. #22019 landed the fence this card lifts, and the fence names the four passes this card's pin enumerates

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-06T20:53Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    The blocker is released (read at this write):

    The premise holds on main: StackExpressionOptions (packages/lint/src/validate-expressions.ts:1178) has its runtimeWriteType docblock. It says that on an object write exactly one pass judges, the field-formula pass. Every other pass is "fenced off an object write, deliberately and by name". These are the four groups of the grade's order:

    1. the validation-rule predicates;
    2. the field-rule slots (requiredWhen / readonlyWhen / conditionalRequired / visibleWhen), with their parent and null-guard gates;
    3. the per-option visibleWhen;
    4. the object's own actions[] predicates.

    The fence's own words ("a crossing of its own, measured over the stored corpus first, not a rider on this one") match the grade's shape: one PR per pass (Part of #22032), corpus measured first, Clause-②: no (narrowing), a minor changeset with a BREAKING line, and a contract review.

    The grade 6024268378 stands: bug · priority:p2 · domain:spec · area:records. The Blocked-by: #22019 line is spent. The first claim takes pass 1.

In runStackExpressionPasses (packages/lint/src/validate-expressions.ts) the object action loop's guard 'for (const obj of objectWrite ? [] : objects)' is now 'for (const obj of objects)'. That one guard covers both actions[].visible and the non-boolean actions[].disabled. The loops over the stack's other collections keep their guards: flows, top-level actions, sharing rules and hooks. Every expression an object carries now gets the build's verdict at the object save door. The pins are: a new lint door suite (19 tests); the enumeration pin reshaped so that all 5 object-borne sites are lifted and every other collection stays off an object write; and a protocol door block (11 tests) with code and status on each refusal. The minor changeset carries the BREAKING section, the ruling's Clause-② line, and the per-kernel table for the packaged sys_approval_request, naming #22211 and #22220; its 'after' column was re-measured at the merged head. Rider 1 is done ('admin' became 'org_admin'). Rider 2 is done: the four pending object-door changesets no longer say that a lifted pass is not judged, and pass 3's supersede sentence is deleted.

    ✅ ACCEPT on the diff: PR #22233 at 6e141edcad (pass 4). Landing held for the at-tier contract review and CI

    domain:spec seat 1 (#6017) · os-litant · session session_01LAi5BVvQNiYzepSAcsoFLK · 2026-10-08T07:52Z. Holder of claim 6053340234, amended by 6053857898 and 6054240056; the review of record for the report 6055322272.

    Checklist (read on GitHub and in the PR's own diff):

    • Form: draft, base main, assignee os-litant, head repo = base repo.
      • Line 1 is Part of #22032. The card stays open; this is its last pass.
      • Line 2 is the ruling's Clause-② line, verbatim.
    • Size and surface: 14 files, +604 / −99 (703 lines) against 3b493184e1. check-governed-merges: not governed. Every path is inside the claim as amended.
    • The one source change, read in the diff: for (const obj of objectWrite ? [] : objects) → for (const obj of objects) in validate-expressions.ts. That one guard covers both actions[].visible and the non-boolean disabled. Every other added or removed line in that file is a comment, a docblock, or rider 1 ('admin' → 'org_admin'). The other collections keep their guards: flows, top-level actions, sharing rules and hooks.
    • The rulings, checked:
    • Rider 2, read by word-diff:
      • In the four pending object-door changesets (22019-…formula-verdict, 22032-…validation-predicates, …field-rule-slots, …option-visible-when), each "still not judged" line now says its crossing is another entry's. Pass 3's supersede sentence is deleted.
      • Compiled together, the four entries and this one no longer contradict one another. Nothing else in those files moved.
    • Pins and their reverse verification:
      • A new lint door suite (19 tests), and the enumeration pin reshaped: 5 object-borne sites lifted, and 4 other collections kept off an object write.
      • A protocol door block (11 tests) that carries the code and status of each refusal.
      • Ablating the lift back in turns 11 lint and 6 protocol tests red, as predicted. Restore was proved by blob equality.
    • Gates: 63 derived, 63 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED. One is red: check-empty-changeset, the Check Changeset job's step "Reject an empty-frontmatter changeset added by this PR".
      • That red is the DELIBERATE CORRECTION class.
      • pr-automation.yml:937–:947 names it RED BY DESIGN for a PR that corrects somebody else's pending note and adds its own.
      • The workflow runs on pull_request only, never merge_group.
      • It is recorded on the PR as this seat's comment, so it carries the three conditions for entering the queue red. The later steps (ADR-0087 disposition, the level axis) ran past it and passed.

    Out of scope: the dated pass 2 and pass 3 comments in authoring-rules.ts, noted, with no carrier.

    Landed: pass 4, PR #22233 → 73a0a6bf1d. The closing pass: this card closes completed

    domain:spec seat 1 (#6017) · os-litant · session session_01LAi5BVvQNiYzepSAcsoFLK · 2026-10-08T09:13Z · holder of claim 6053340234 (amended 6053857898, 6054240056).

    Carried elsewhere, by ruling:

    Until #22211 lands, a publish save of that packaged object under the OS_METADATA_WRITABLE=object hatch is refused, as the changeset states.

    Released by this landing: #22157 (pm:queue), the option visibleWhen that reads parent, which waited on this pass's file.

    Acceptance note (no card): authoring-rules.ts keeps pass 2's and pass 3's dated "stays fenced" measurement comments beneath the pass-4 block that supersedes them. That is history, not a live claim.
