docs(skills): retirement playbook §0 judges each family by mainstream capability - #20364
Conversation
… capability §0 said benign display metadata (`description`, `tags`, `icon`) is never retired and that "no code reads it" is the evidence for retirement. Both contradict the maintainer's per-family criterion: ask whether mainstream platforms have the capability; yes ⇒ build the consumer, no ⇒ retire, never judged by whether anything in this repo reads the key. The docs-shaped keys (`hook.label`, `flow.description`) stay, now as the "yes" outcome of that one criterion (render, do not retire) rather than as a second rule. `authorWarn` marking defers to the liveness README. Net 0 lines, widest table row unchanged. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01MjvgiFAmjHqsxy1XLiVYfH Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

…stem-* migration entries states each lesson in words, not tracker numbers (stage 3) (objectstack-ai#20384) Part of objectstack-ai#20233 Clause-②: no **Stage 3 of a staged card.** The card stays open for later stages; this PR carries no closing keyword. Text only: no entry id, `surface`, `from` / `to`, conversion or matching logic moves, and the chain rewrites exactly what it rewrote before. ## What this does `os migrate meta` prints every ADR-0087 semantic entry it crosses as one block: `⚠ [protocol N] SURFACE → REPLACEMENT`, then `why:` (the entry's `reason`) and `verify:` (its `acceptanceCriteria`). AGENTS.md's runtime-string rule applies to all of it: 「Runtime strings — refusal prose, prescriptions, anything an author is shown — carry no tracker number (`pnpm check:doc-authoring`): the lesson goes into the text.」 Form **D** of ruling C+D on the parent card sets the shape: the lesson in words, and no number, dead or alive. This stage covers the next three families by site count, `driver-`, `kernel-` and `system-`: **132 sites → 0** in the three prose fields. None of the 26 entries carries a tracker id in `surface` (ruling A of the stage-1 ACCEPT, `5858839916`, is checked and has nothing to do here). Each site now says what the cited ruling, measurement or fix decided. ADR ids stay. `registry.ts`, `spec-changes.json` and `docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md` are regenerated from the entries (`gen:migration-registry`, `gen:spec-changes`, `gen:upgrade-guide`), never hand-edited. The stage-1 pin now holds `engine-`, `ui-`, `plugin-`, `driver-`, `kernel-` and `system-`. ## Census — tracker ids in the author-shown fields **Instrument.** The stage-2 AST instrument, unchanged: a TypeScript-AST walk over every `packages/spec/src/migrations/entries/**/*.ts`. For each `entry` object literal it evaluates the string value of `replacement`, `reason`, `acceptanceCriteria` and (counted separately) `surface`, joining string literals with `+`, then counts `#` followed by 4 or 5 digits at a word boundary. **Validated first** by reproducing the stage-1 readings on the stage-1 tree (`443b2f4fdc`, extracted with `git archive`): `driver-` 7 entries / 44 sites (0 / 44 / 0, 25 distinct), `kernel-` 9 / 44 (1 / 41 / 2, 11 distinct), `system-` 10 / 44 (0 / 42 / 2, 6 distinct), `engine-` 5 / 67, whole tree 266 entries / 1,016 sites / 9 `surface` sites — every figure equal to the stage-1 census. **Tree measured:** `objectstack-ai/objectstack` at `569d4d2dbf` (this branch's base). Unevaluable fields: 0. **Controls, same run.** - **Lit:** `17.aggregation-node-distinct-retired.ts` reads 7 sites (replacement 1, reason 6), the reading stages 1 and 2 took. - **Dark (comment lines):** 794 `//` lines in entry files carry a tracker id, and none is counted. Comment lines belong to the sibling card, and ⛔ this PR touches none (794 before and after). - **Dark (field boundary):** the 7 `surface` sites left in the tree (other families) count 0 in the three-field total and 7 in the `surface` column. **Re-measured on the base, matching the stage-1 census:** `driver-` 7 entries, **44** sites (replacement 0 / reason 44 / acceptanceCriteria 0), 25 distinct ids; `kernel-` 9 entries, **44** (1 / 41 / 2), 11 distinct; `system-` 10 entries, **44** (0 / 42 / 2), 6 distinct. 37 distinct ids across the three (the families share `objectstack-ai#14478`, `objectstack-ai#15939`, `objectstack-ai#17635` and `objectstack-ai#3733`). `surface`: 0 in all three. Whole tree: 300 entries, **843** sites, 7 `surface` sites. **After this PR:** `driver-` 0, `kernel-` 0, `system-` 0; `engine-`, `ui-`, `plugin-` still 0; whole tree **843 → 711** sites; `surface` 7 (unchanged, other families). | entry | sites (replacement / reason / acceptanceCriteria) | |---|---| | `17.driver-aggregate-undeclared-key-aliases-removed` | 6 (0 / 6 / 0) | | `17.driver-capabilities-inert-bits-removed` | 4 (0 / 4 / 0) | | `18.driver-options-timeout-to-timeout-ms` | 1 (0 / 1 / 0) | | `17.driver-sql-distinct-bare-filter-typed` | 9 (0 / 9 / 0) | | `18.driver-sql-unresolvable-where-column-refused` | 14 (0 / 14 / 0) | | `18.driver-sql-upsert-cross-row-identity-merge-refused` | 9 (0 / 9 / 0) | | `18.driver-turso-config-local-path-wasm-retired` | 1 (0 / 1 / 0) | | `18.kernel-compatibility-matrix-estimated-migration-time-unit-in-key` | 5 (0 / 5 / 0) | | `18.kernel-context-preview-mode-retired` | 5 (1 / 4 / 0) | | `18.kernel-event-bus-retention-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.kernel-health-check-and-hot-reload-durations-unit-in-key` | 7 (0 / 5 / 2) | | `18.kernel-package-lifecycle-durations-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.kernel-plugin-health-report-durations-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.kernel-plugin-security-durations-unit-in-key` | 4 (0 / 4 / 0) | | `18.kernel-runtime-config-timeout-unit-in-key` | 11 (0 / 11 / 0) | | `18.kernel-startup-orchestrator-durations-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.system-cache-durations-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.system-collaboration-durations-unit-in-key` | 4 (0 / 4 / 0) | | `18.system-failover-health-check-interval-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.system-metrics-jsdoc-durations-unit-in-key` | 12 (0 / 12 / 0) | | `18.system-metrics-window-durations-unit-in-key` | 5 (0 / 3 / 2) | | `18.system-object-storage-durations-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.system-registry-config-durations-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.system-tracing-otel-exporter-durations-unit-in-key` | 5 (0 / 5 / 0) | | `18.system-tracing-span-duration-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | `18.system-worker-queue-rate-limit-duration-unit-in-key` | 3 (0 / 3 / 0) | | **total, 26 entries** | **132 (1 / 127 / 4)** | ## Every citation read, and what the text now says I read each cited issue or PR myself with single-card REST reads: the body, and the comments where a ruling or a measurement lives.

The pin still spawns the real CLI (`os migrate meta --from 16 --to 18`) once, locates each covered block **verbatim** in stdout, and asserts the printed block — `surface` included — carries no `#` plus 4 or 5 digits. Anti-vacuity: - the `REWRITTEN` floor rises from 29 to **55** ids: the 26 entries of this stage (7 `driver-`, 9 `kernel-`, 10 `system-`) are added, and every covered prefix must still select at least one entry; - presence in stdout is asserted before cleanliness (the `driver-sql-unresolvable-where-column-refused` reason carries two blank-line paragraph breaks, and its block is found verbatim); - the detector is exercised on both sides first (lit on 4 and 5 digits, dark on 3, 6 and `ADR-0112`). The file keeps its stage-1 name; the header lists the six covered families. ## Ablation — the widened pin can fail on a `driver-` block From committed state, HEAD `1c0dc7ad54`, with `scripts/ablation-replace.mjs` in wrap mode (it owns the restore trap) and `scripts/ablation-dist-preflight.mjs` gating each leg. The bundle is built from the generated `registry.ts`, so that is the file mutated. - **Mutation.** In `registry.ts`, the reason of `driver-sql-upsert-cross-row-identity-merge-refused`: anchor `pre-flight refusals closed the half` → `pre-flight refusals (objectstack-ai#8621) closed the half`. The tool read anchor 1 → 0 and replacement 0 → 1, blob `b41e1d44` → `8f8d226e`. - **Mutate leg** (one lock turn: build, preflight, pin). Spec build exit 0. Preflight: marker present in 4 built files. Pin: **red**, `1 failed | 2 passed` — `driver-sql-upsert-cross-row-identity-merge-refused: the printed guidance cites a tracker id: expected 'objectstack-ai#8621' to be undefined`. - **Restore.** Tool-proven: blob `b41e1d44` == HEAD, `git diff HEAD` empty. - **Restore leg.** One lock turn, taken on the second try (the first waited out its 540 s budget, exit 99, NOT MEASURED, the tree already restored). Spec build exit 0. The `--absent` preflight found the marker in none of 222 built files, with the working tree clean against HEAD. Pin: **green**, `3 passed`. ## Verification Final head **`1c0dc7ad54`** for every line below; each heavy run went through `scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh` (one turn, `VERDICT command-exit 0`, per-step exits recorded separately). - **Build:** `pnpm exec turbo run build --concurrency=2 --filter='@objectstack/cli^...'` gives `Tasks: 55 successful, 55 total`. - **Pin and its neighbour:** `pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli exec vitest run --project integration --maxWorkers=2 test/migrate-meta-engine-guidance.test.ts test/migrate-meta-default-range.test.ts` gives `Test Files 2 passed`, `Tests 10 passed | 1 skipped` (the skip is the default-range file's own pre-existing `skipIf`). - **Spec tests that read these entries or the registry:** `pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 src/migrations src/kernel/preview-mode-retirement.test.ts scripts/build-schemas-check-mode.test.ts` plus the 19 other spec test files that read `MIGRATIONS_BY_MAJOR`, the registry or an entry file: `Test Files 24 passed`, `Tests 696 passed`. - **CLI unit:** `test/vitest-tiers-partition.test.ts` and `src/utils/spec-release-changes.test.ts`: `Test Files 2 passed`, `Tests 28 passed`. - **The call-spelling census that reads `registry.ts`:** `pnpm --filter @objectstack/driver-sql exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 src/sql-driver-query-signature.test.ts` gives 15 passed. - **Typecheck:** `pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec typecheck` exits 0 (test layer: 53 files / 255 errors held in its ledger); `pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli typecheck` exits 0 (test layer: 3 files / 28 errors held, unchanged). - **Gate families:** `node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands` derives **89** families at `1c0dc7ad54` (after `git fetch origin main`). `--ran` over the recorded exit codes reads **89 derived, 89 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN**, all exit 0. They include `check:doc-authoring` ("16466 customer-facing string(s) across 1135 spec sources clean"), `check:issue-citations`, `check:migration-registry` ("registry.ts is current (300 semantic, 219 retired-key, 199 retired-def)"), `check:spec-changes`, `check:upgrade-guide`, `check:generated` ("All 15 generated artifacts are up to date"), `check:duration-unit-keys`, `check:nul-bytes`, `check:adr-0087-registration` and `check:changeset-no-major`. - `check:dual-build-cjs-loads` refused first with `PREREQUISITE NOT MET` (exit 3: twelve packages outside the CLI closure had no `dist/`). Those `dist/` directories were written later in the same pass (04:48–04:49Z, inside the `check:type-check-debt` run, whose re-measure builds them); re-run at the same head it exits 0 (104 entries / 66 packages / 659 CJS files). The reconciled list takes that latest run. - **Lint (a proven narrowing, not the repo-wide run, which is CI's):** `eslint --no-inline-config --format json` over the 28 changed `.ts` files reports 28 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings. - The population is read from `eslint.config.mjs`: `**/*.{ts,tsx,mts,cts,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}` minus `NEVER_LINTED`, and all 28 are in it (no file-ignored warning). - Invariance: the config enables no type-aware linting (no `parserOptions.project`, no typed rules), so a text edit cannot move the verdict on a file it does not touch. - **Mergeability:** see Acceptance notes (driver-free `merge-tree` against `862b6ce869` exits 0). ## Acceptance notes - **Two dead ids, rewritten from the code on `main`.** `objectstack-ai#6075` and `objectstack-ai#11846` answer 404 on both the issues and the pulls endpoint, re-probed with a 200 control (`objectstack-ai#14478`). - `objectstack-ai#6075` (`distinct`'s "never reached it" sentence): `packages/drivers/driver-sql/CHANGELOG.md` (commit `d367f03`) and `sql-driver-query-signature.test.ts` record what it did — the five drivers' implementations followed `IDataDriver`'s `DriverQuery` narrowing. The sentence now says exactly that. - `objectstack-ai#11846` (preview mode): `packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md` (commit `0c2334f`), `packages/spec/src/kernel/context.zod.ts` and `preview-mode-retirement.test.ts` record the 2026-08-27 ruling (Option A: remove), the three-repo zero-consumer measurement and the re-declare-fresh condition. Dropped because `main` does not state them: "decision-inbox batch 2" and "all four decision facets pointed the same way". "The objectstack-ai#11846 card records the measurement" (objectui leg) now reads "zero consumers, measured when the removal was ruled", which is what the changelog and the test header say. - **One cross-repo id this session cannot read.** `cloud#1651` answers 403 here: `objectstack-ai/cloud` is not attached to this session (`add_repo` refused: no access). It is neither confirmed nor refuted, so its sentence was rewritten from what `main` records about it — `packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md` (`0c2334f`: closed 2026-08-26 with positive controls, `RuntimeMode` zero hits, `ArtifactKernelFactory` 20+ hits and never touching `previewMode`) and `context.zod.ts` (`OS_PREVIEW_MODE` there is routing-only). The cloud-side detail `main` does not state — `previewMode` "only as a local variable" whose effect is adding wildcards to "CSRF" trusted origins — is dropped; the parenthesis that replaces it describes this repository's own `serve.ts` (the one reader of `OS_PREVIEW_MODE` here only widens better-auth's trusted origins to preview-domain wildcards), which is measured on `main`. - **Decision-batch numbers went too (invisible to the regex).** Nineteen sites cited a decision batch as `#` plus two or three digits (`objectstack-ai#43` ×13, `objectstack-ai#115` ×4, `objectstack-ai#151` ×1, `objectstack-ai#158` ×1). They are numbers an author is shown and cannot follow, so each is dropped. One consequence worth naming: 13 entries said `Maintainer ruling B on objectstack-ai#14478 (2026-09-02, decision batch objectstack-ai#43)`, which fused two rulings on the same card — B of 2026-09-02 (the gate and the no-baseline rename) and B of 2026-09-05, decided in that batch (the population: every authored and every runtime-emitted duration, minus schema-declared exemptions). The sentence now names both dates. The `objectstack-ai#158` sentence (the agreement shape ruled an offence on 2026-09-18) is corroborated by `.changeset/18075-agreement-shape-is-an-offence.md` on `main`. - **"issue NNNN" / "PR NNNN" spellings, checked by hand.** No bare-number spelling exists in these 26 entries' author-shown text; the two `PR` citations (`PR objectstack-ai#6404`, `PR objectstack-ai#9061`) were `#`-spelled, so the instrument saw them and they are gone. The only `#` left in these 26 files is on `//` comment lines (sibling card's surface), including a `Prime Directive objectstack-ai#13` reference. - **A citation whose page says something narrower than the text.** `kernel-health-check-and-hot-reload-durations-unit-in-key` called `shutdownTimeout`'s shape "the objectstack-ai#14519 unit-nowhere shape". `objectstack-ai#14519`'s keys carried their unit in the JSDoc; "unit nowhere" is the gate's name for it (`check-duration-unit-keys.ts` header: "no unit ANYWHERE (the objectstack-ai#14519 shape)"), because the gate did not read JSDoc. The sentence now says what the shape is — no unit in the name or in the published describe — and that it was first measured on two tenant timeouts. - **A comment that my text edit makes slightly stale.** `18.system-metrics-window-durations-unit-in-key.ts` carries a `//` comment saying its acceptanceCriteria sentence "is objectstack-ai#15679's, left word for word". That sentence now says "that JSDoc-channel gap is filed as a finding of its own" where it said "is objectstack-ai#15939": same content, no number. The comment is the sibling card's surface (comment lines), so it is untouched here. - **Three "card" references re-anchored.** Removing an id left "the same card" in the Turso entry pointing at nothing; it now says "the same measurement". The kernel entries' "renamed by this same card" carry no number and were not otherwise rewritten, so they are left. - **Cross-PR check: no open PR adds or edits a `driver-`, `kernel-` or `system-` semantic entry.** Read at 2026-09-28T04:0xZ: the 18 open PRs' file lists (`GET /pulls/{n}/files`) carry 0 files matching `migrations/entries/semantic/NN.(driver|kernel|system)-*`. The Version Packages PR (`objectstack-ai#17076`) lists more than 1,000 files; the 1,100 rows read carry no entry file, and it is the bot-generated release PR. Nothing in flight will be held by the widened pin on arrival. - **`main` moved 4 commits past the base** (`862b6ce869`: `objectstack-ai#20364`, `objectstack-ai#20341`, `objectstack-ai#20366`, `objectstack-ai#20352`); none touches `packages/spec/src/migrations/` or the pin. A driver-free bare-clone `merge-tree --write-tree` of this head against `862b6ce869` exits 0 with no conflicted path, so `registry.ts` needs no merge, and `main` was not merged in. - **Generated projections** (`spec-changes.json`, `docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md`) are regenerated, as in stages 1 and 2; their `--check` legs are green. Only the three `driver-` entries registered at protocol 17 appear in them, which is why those diffs are small. - **No other test pins these entries' text.** A `git grep` of test files for the 26 entry ids finds one (`preview-mode-retirement.test.ts`), which names the entry in a comment and reads no prose; a grep of tests for the 37 cited numbers finds only comment lines. So no test needed re-pinning this stage (stage 2's `migrations.test.ts` case has no counterpart here). ## Line budget Entry files: **352 changed lines** (+228 / −124) across 26 files, against the stage-1 ≈400 budget. The whole diff is **776 lines** (+516 / −260) in 31 files. Of the rest, `registry.ts` is 352, the two projections are 18 (`spec-changes.json` 12, the upgrade guide 6), the widened pin is 33 and the changeset is 21. --- _Generated by [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code/session_01QcAS3qiYYZNezaxZxaUdMV)_ --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The maintainer's ruling on #18900 (comment
5727134555, item ④, A′), verbatim: 「18900 同意 每族该问的是:主流平台有没有这个能力 —— 有 ⇒ 补消费端(一次做对);没有 ⇒ 退役,而不是看仓里有没有人读。」 The ruling record's own gloss is "a family is judged by whether mainstream platforms in the domain have the capability, ⛔ not by whether anything in this repo reads the key". Triage applies it to every family card. The playbook said the opposite fordescription/tags/icon, and a dev on the RLS family already hit the fork: #20353 retires atagskey the old text forbade. Triage direction (5862082626): "the ruling wins, and the text follows it". The documentation-shaped exemption is kept as the case where the mainstream carries the capability, which is how #20299 was graded (render, do not retire).Inventory: other texts that restate the old exemption (triage note 2)

Its scan set is the pm-dispatch tree,os-dev.mdandAGENTS.md(34 files, green), and this playbook carries 20 existing tracker-number citations. The bare comment id does not match its#pattern either.
