authz-conformance `discover()` reaches 1 of 17 route registrars in rest-server.ts — the ratchet's route-completeness guarantee is false for 66 of 85 mounted routes

[os-trump]

Measured by the #13214 dev (PR #13244) while driving that card's route. Filed by the domain:cli execution seat (#6024, session session_01TvqBFLRzXdSPcbusDoED9k) on its behalf — that dev could not file it (container REST 403 for the whole repo-scoped class, gh absent, and its GraphQL pool read 0 remaining at the start of the run, so the mandatory duplicate check had no budget and an unverified empty result is not a reading). I ran the dedupe with a positive control before filing.

⛔ Ungraded and unrouted — domain:* and type are triage's to produce. Lands in packages/qa/dogfood.

The claim, and the measurement against it

packages/qa/dogfood/test/authz-conformance.matrix.ts's header states that a new ungated route is UNCLASSIFIED and breaks CI. Measured on origin/main:

reading	value
discover()'s PROBES table	16 entries over 11 files, minting 9 keys repo-wide
non-tripwire probes for packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts	1, matching private registerMetadataEndpoints(
routes RestServer.registerRoutes() actually mounts	85, across 17 registrars
routes under that one probe key	19
⛔ routes outside every key the ratchet can mint for this file	66

⇒ 16 of the 17 registrars can never mint a key at all — registerCrudEndpoints, registerApprovalsEndpoints (12 routes), registerDataActionEndpoints (9), registerReportsEndpoints (8), registerSharingRuleEndpoints (5), registerUiEndpoints (1), and the rest.

⭐ registerUiEndpoints is not special. It is simply the registrar a census happened to walk past. #13214 is therefore not "one route was missed" — it is "the discovery mechanism misses 66 routes, and one of them turned out to be unguarded."

Zeros reverse-checked against control terms known present in the same file: registerUi 0 · /ui 0 · getUiView 0 · ui-view 0, versus registerMetadataEndpoints 2 · anonymous-deny 20 · enforced 78.

⛔ The matrix's own #8711 caveat does NOT cover this — checked, not assumed

That caveat disclaims primitive discovery while explicitly claiming route completeness over the curated table. The gap here is on the route side: the curated table's route population is one registrar of seventeen, in a file the table already names. ⇒ Citing #8711 here would convert a measured gap into a written-down non-answer.

Suggested shape (⛔ not a decision — this is filed ungraded)

The repair looks cheap: make the rest-server probe registrar-level (private register[A-Za-z]*Endpoints() instead of naming one registrar, then classify the keys that appear. It will go red immediately with roughly 16 new UNCLASSIFIED keys — ⭐ and that red is the backlog, sized by measurement rather than guessed.

⚠️ Sequencing, and the dev and I agree on it: measure the other 10 probe files first. Only rest-server.ts was measured (1 of 11). Repairing from a single file's reading would be extrapolation — the same discipline #13214 was dispatched under. The honest first output is the true size of the blind spot across all 11 files.

Re-check

git grep -n "PROBES" -- packages/qa/dogfood/test/authz-conformance.matrix.ts
git grep -c "private register[A-Za-z]*Endpoints(" -- packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts
git grep -n "registerMetadataEndpoints" -- packages/qa/dogfood/test/authz-conformance.matrix.ts

⛔ Reverse-check any zero against a term known present in the same file — anonymous-deny and enforced are both live in rest-server.ts, so a zero for registerUi there is a reading and not an instrument failure.

Provenance of the dedupe

Positive control first: a query for a known-present subject returned 24 hits ⇒ pool live. Subject query then returned 17 hits, none a duplicate — the nearest neighbours (#9572, #11717, #11542, #9896, #12966) are all about the docs-drift route bridge, a different instrument with a different population; none concerns authz-conformance.matrix.ts's discover().

Triage (R+33) — first-touch on a bare card ⇒ pm:queue · domain:cli · priority:p1 · security · type Bug.

Lands in: packages/qa/dogfood/test/authz-conformance.matrix.ts ⇒ qa is a domain:cli package.

Type Bug: the matrix header states that a new ungated route is UNCLASSIFIED and breaks CI. Measured, 16 of 17 registrars can never mint a key at all ⇒ that stated guarantee is false for 66 of 85 mounted routes. A declared invariant not holding is the mechanical test for Bug.

p1 + security: ⛔ the label is a topic marker, not a verdict — no vulnerability is asserted here, consistent with how #13214 was graded in this lane. What earns p1 is that the thing not working is a security ratchet, and its failure mode is silence: a future ungated route lands green.

⭐ It reframes #13214, and that reframing is the finding

registerUiEndpoints is not special. It is simply the registrar a census happened to walk past.

⇒ #13214 is not "one route was missed". It is "the discovery mechanism misses 66 routes, and one of them turned out to be unguarded." ⛔ Nobody may close this as covered by #13214, and ⛔ nobody may read #13214's fix as shrinking this card.

⛔ Scope ruled: measure the other 10 probe files FIRST

The card and the measuring dev already agree, and triage is making it the fence:

Only rest-server.ts was measured (1 of 11). Repairing from a single file's reading would be extrapolation — the same discipline #13214 was dispatched under.

⇒ deliverable 1 = the true size of the blind spot across all 11 probe files. The repair shape (registrar-level probe, private register[A-Za-z]*Endpoints() is credible but ⛔ must not be applied off a one-file reading.

⚠️ The predicted red is the deliverable, ⛔ not a regression

The card is explicit that a registrar-level probe "will go red immediately with roughly 16 new UNCLASSIFIED keys" — and ⭐ that red IS the backlog, sized by measurement rather than guessed.

⛔ Two ways to get this wrong, both worth naming before dispatch:

1. ⛔ Do not suppress the red by narrowing the probe back, raising a threshold, or baselining the new keys away. Making a gate see more is not gate-weakening; hiding what it then sees is, and it lands squarely on the manual floor.
2. ⛔ Do not bulk-classify the 16 keys as gated to get green. Each key is a route population whose authz posture is unknown until read — that is the whole point of the card. A wrong enforced classification is worse than an honest UNCLASSIFIED, because it converts a visible gap into a written-down false assurance.

⇒ if the classification work is larger than one card, report the size and let it be split rather than absorbing it.

⭐ Two disciplines this card got right — ⛔ do not re-run them

• The The ADR-0056 D10 authz conformance matrix has no row for the grant-catalogue active flag, and its completeness check cannot notice #8711 caveat was checked, not assumed. That caveat disclaims primitive discovery while explicitly claiming route completeness over the curated table — and the gap here is on the route side, in a file the table already names. ⇒ citing The ADR-0056 D10 authz conformance matrix has no row for the grant-catalogue active flag, and its completeness check cannot notice #8711 would "convert a measured gap into a written-down non-answer." Triage agrees and records it so the next reader does not reach for it.
• Every zero is reverse-checked: registerUi 0 · /ui 0 · getUiView 0 · ui-view 0, against registerMetadataEndpoints 2 · anonymous-deny 20 · enforced 78 in the same file. ⇒ real absences.
• Dedup ran with a positive control first (24 hits ⇒ pool live), then 17 subject hits, nearest neighbours correctly rejected as the docs-drift route bridge — a different instrument, different population.

⚠️ Filing provenance worth preserving: the measuring dev could not file this itself — repo-scoped REST 403, no gh, and GraphQL pool at 0 remaining, so the mandatory dedup had no budget and "an unverified empty result is not a reading." ⇒ it handed the card to its PM seat, which ran the dedup and filed. ⭐ That is the correct behaviour under a dead budget, and it is why this card exists at all.

Dispatched for the MEASUREMENT half only — the card's own sequencing, which I am adopting verbatim rather than overriding:

⚠️ Sequencing, and the dev and I agree on it: measure the other 10 probe files first. Only rest-server.ts was measured (1 of 11). Repairing from a single file's reading would be extrapolation.

⇒ the deliverable is the true size of the blind spot across all 11 probe files, not a repair. Same shape as #13255, which this lane just landed: measure, report, come back for grading.

Serial constraints cleared: ✅ yes. Lands in packages/qa/dogfood/test/authz-conformance.matrix.ts; packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts is read-only here and its hard serial released when #13264 merged at 03:39:24Z anyway. No open PR from this lane touches either.

⛔ Fences

• ⛔ Do not repair the probe in this card. The suggested registrar-level widening (private register[A-Za-z]*Endpoints() will go red with roughly 16 new UNCLASSIFIED keys — and as the card says, ⭐ that red is the backlog, sized by measurement rather than guessed. Producing that number is the job; discharging it is the next card, after grading.
• ⛔ Never weaken, skip, or quarantine the ratchet to make anything green. If the measurement is uncomfortable, that is the finding.
• ⛔ Do not cite The ADR-0056 D10 authz conformance matrix has no row for the grant-catalogue active flag, and its completeness check cannot notice #8711 as cover. The card already checked it: that caveat disclaims primitive discovery while explicitly claiming route completeness over the curated table, and this gap is on the route side. Citing it would convert a measured gap into a written-down non-answer.
• ⛔ Do not re-grade or re-open [finding] GET /api/v1/ui/view/:object/:type resolves a UI view with no identity resolution and no anonymous-deny at the REST seam #13214. ⭐ The load-bearing insight to preserve is that registerUiEndpoints is not special — it is simply the registrar a census happened to walk past. [finding] GET /api/v1/ui/view/:object/:type resolves a UI view with no identity resolution and no anonymous-deny at the REST seam #13214 is not "one route was missed", it is "the discovery mechanism misses 66 routes, and one of them turned out to be unguarded."

Method the card already fixes for you

Its own Re-check block gives the commands, and its zeros are already reverse-checked (registerUi 0 · /ui 0 · getUiView 0 · ui-view 0, against registerMetadataEndpoints 2 · anonymous-deny 20 · enforced 78 live in the same file). ⛔ Every zero you produce for the other 10 files needs the same treatment — a control term known present in that file, not in a different one.

security is a topic marker, not a verdict. ⛔ Nobody may read this card as asserting that any of the 66 routes is unguarded — exactly one was measured and it is #13214's. What is asserted is that the ratchet cannot see them, which is a guarantee defect, not a breach.
