What Changed

• View emitter keeps reverse @via hop columns. codegen-ts extract-view-spec.ts now resolves an origin @via that walks an identity.reference backwards (for example Project.timeEntries). Previously meta migrate dropped the origin.aggregate / origin.first columns from CREATE VIEW. The emitter joins from the holder of the reference. A Postgres integration test (origin-reverse-hop-view-pg.test.ts) creates the view and reads it.
• origin.aggregate refuses sum/avg/min/max over a value-object field. The loader in TypeScript, Java, C#, and Python now raises ERR_INVALID_ORIGIN when @of names a field.object or an @objectRef field. The message tells the author to model the amount as a scalar field. The error-origin-aggregate-value-object conformance fixture gates this across ports. count is unchanged.
• Agent guidance routes grouped totals and reports to object.report. The metaobjects-authoring skill, its reference docs, the always-on template, and the generated agent-context fixtures now point grouped totals, dashboard numbers, and read-only report views at object.report (declaring-reports.md) before the @sql escape. docs/features/source-kinds.md documents the scalar-@of rule. CHANGELOG records both fixes under Unreleased.

Note: this branch does not change the reporting vocabulary itself. It fixes two correctness gaps and changes what agents are told to reach for.

Validation

What the reporting vocabulary covers (smoke-test reports, Postgres)

The three reports from the large-application smoke test, rewritten with object.report / dimension.* / measure.* / @spine and loaded and migrated on Postgres. This PR adds no vocabulary; the gaps are findings.

Report	Verdict	How, or what is missing
Revenue by client by month	Expressible, except the money sum	object.report from Payment: clientId / clientName via Payment.invoice.client, receivedOn:month, a count measure. Gap: the amount is a flattened Money value object, and a dimension or measure @of cannot name a value-object member (Payment.amount.currency is ERR_INVALID_DIMENSION), so neither summing the amount nor grouping by its currency is possible. Workaround: model the amount and currency as scalar fields.
Member utilization by month	Workaround	object.report from TimeEntry grouped by member and workDate:month, summing total and billable hours, with weekly capacity carried as a dimension. Gaps: there is no calendar-month x member spine. @spine takes rows from one to-one dimension entity, so "a zero row for every month in which anyone logged time" needs a cross product it cannot express. Utilization % needs measure-by-dimension arithmetic (hours / capacity x weeks), and measure.ratio only divides two measures.
Project financials	Hours only	Hours (total, billable) via @spine: TimeEntry.project, which gives zero rows for idle projects. Gaps: cost = hours x member cost rate needs a per-row product measure. Invoiced and paid are Money sums, the value-object gap again. Budget burn reads an optional jsonb Money, and no measure reaches into a jsonb value object. Combining measures from three fact tables (time entries, invoices, payments) does not fit a report with a single @from.

A fresh agent build session on packages built from this branch read declaring-reports.md and wrote its first report as an object.report. It fell back to @sql only after the Money value-object ERR_INVALID_DIMENSION above.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: The change is small. The docs route report wording to object.report, and the generated agent-context fixtures match the template and skill edits. The reverse-hop view emitter uses the same order as the loader (relationship, then forward reference, then a unique reverse reference) and joins from the reference holder. The new value-object aggregate refusal is the same check in all four loader ports, uses resolving accessors, and only refuses input that produced invalid SQL before.

Testing

The earlier timeout is resolved: the server suite was rerun per package, every package exited 0, and integration-tests ran file by file, all 65 files exit 0 (api-contract report/generated/projection/m2m, report views on PG, MySQL and SQLite, and the origin reverse-hop view). All other server packages report 0 failures. forge and test-generators contain no test files (bun exits 1 with "0 test files matching"), so they have nothing to run. Live checks on disposable projects confirmed the value-object aggregate guard (the Java-side @agg guard in fe55b6d was not driven here). The docs-routing scenario has live evidence from the fresh agent session: it reached the reports reference and wrote an object.report first. It then fell back to @sql on an unrelated Money value-object @of gap (ERR_INVALID_DIMENSION), which is outside this change. No browser or UI surface exists, so no screenshots. Evidence logs are in the evidence directory. The worktree is clean and no background jobs remain.
