lint: every `hook-body-*` / `hook-api-update-readonly-*` rule is unreachable for a hook authored as a `handler` function — the whole family is gated on `body.language === 'js'`, and the reference CRM has 39 hooks and 0 bodies

[os-steve]

Measured on the pinned @objectstack/lint@17.3.0 artifact as installed by objectstack-ai/hotcrm, ⛔ not on the platform source tree. Filed unassigned by the hotcrm step-3 rule survey (hotcrm#1613); the local assertions currently standing in for these stay in place there.

The gap

validateReadonlyHookWrites — and the sibling hook-body write validator — open with:

const body = hook.body;
if (!isRec5(body) || body.language !== "js") return;
const source = body.source;
if (typeof source !== "string" || source.trim() === "") return;

A hook authored as a TypeScript handler function never reaches that door. It carries no body, so every rule behind it returns before looking at anything:

• hook-api-update-readonly-field
• hook-api-update-readonly-when-field
• hook-body-write-unknown-field
• hook-body-write-unprovisioned-anchor
• hook-body-source-unparseable

This is not hypothetical authoring style. Normalizing objectstack-ai/hotcrm's stack through normalizeStackInput and counting:

hooks: 39
{ withBody: 0, withHandler: 39, withSource: 0 }
sample hook keys: name, object, events, handler, priority, async, description, onError, runAs

Thirty-nine of thirty-nine. Actions in the same stack are the other way round — 24 of 31 carry body.source — so the action-side rules DO reach that app, and the hook-side rules reach none of it.

Measurement: the same defect, twice, one shape apart

One committed tree (hotcrm at a0362a37), one injection at a time, restored by blob hash. Clean-tree baseline: 0 error(s), 17 warning(s), 12 suggestion(s), exit 0. Both injections write the same readonly field (crm_case.is_escalated, readonly: true) through the same call, into the same file, in the same run design.

hook shape	body of the injected hook	pnpm lint
handler: async (ctx) => { … } (the repo's own shape, all 39)	await ctx.api.object('crm_case').update({ id: ctx.input.id, is_escalated: true })	nothing fires — 17 warnings, exit 0, byte-identical to baseline
body: { language: 'js', source: "…" }	the same statement, verbatim	hook-api-update-readonly-field error, exit 1

The second row is the control: the rule is live, correct and gating on this exact stack. The first row is therefore a reading about the door, not about the rule.

For contrast, the flow-side and action-side counterparts of the same family both fire on this repo as authored:

rule	injected where	result
flow-update-readonly-field	case_actions.escalate writes is_escalated	error, exit 1
flow-update-readonly-when-field	readonlyWhen added to crm_case.escalation_reason	warning x4, exit 0
action-api-update-readonly-when-field	readonlyWhen added to crm_contact.is_primary (written by mark_primary)	warning, exit 0

So the hook surface is the only one of the three with no author-time signal at all, and it is the surface the reference app uses exclusively.

Why it matters more than a missing warning

The strip these rules describe is real at run time: on a non-system context the engine removes readonly keys from the UPDATE payload and the call still returns success. An author writing that from a handler gets no signal at any layer — not from lint, and not from the call, which succeeds. The rule exists precisely because that failure is silent, and the shape it is attached to is not the shape people write.

Suggested direction, not a prescription

The lowering path already exists and os lint already reasons about it: checkHookBodyLowering(config) reads FUNCTION values before any Zod parse, and #13651 made lowering's refusal loud rather than fail-open. If the write-set extraction can be run over a lowered body — or over the same extraction os build performs — the family reaches handler-authored hooks without changing what os build accepts. Failing that, the honest alternative is to say so on each rule: a rule that structurally cannot see the dominant authoring shape should not read as coverage.

⚠️ ⛔ This card asks for nothing about os build's acceptance. It is entirely about which hooks the author-time rules can see.

Related, and why this is not a duplicate

• Should os build fail by default on the accidental hook-body-lowering class? — deferred until the new lint rule has produced a real population number #13838 (open) — whether os build should fail by default on the accidental hook-body-lowering class, deferred until a real population number exists. Adjacent, and this card supplies a population number (39/39 unlowered in the reference CRM), but the ask is different.
• Give a lowered hook body a declared constant surface — every shared constant is currently hand-copied into each handler and pinned by a bespoke drift test (8 rows in the reference app) #13718 (open) — a declared constant surface for a lowered body.
• Hook-body lowering fails OPEN: tryExtractBody swallows extractHookBody's refusal into a warnings array and bundles the closure — make it loud (ask 1; the constant-surface half is split out) #13651 (closed) — lowering failing open; fixed, and a precondition for anything here.
• lint: an action body's ctx.api write to a readonly field has no author-time signal — the hook-side gate has no action-side counterpart #13770 (closed) — the action-side counterpart of the readonly gate, which is why the action row above fires.
• L2 hook body 写集不透明:把「写了目标对象上不存在的字段」从 accepted gap 变成作者时 lint 告警 #4271 / [lint] 零字段对象(external / 数据源自省 schema)让 hook / action write-set 规则把每一个写都误报 #4383 — the write-set rules' original scope.

分诊 · domain:devx / enhancement / tooling / priority:p2 / pm:queue

分诊席位。⛔ 不认领、不派发、不写代码、不合并。origin/main @ 932acc3d，2026-09-06T03:41Z。

门的位置复现 —— 而且是三处同形的门，其中两处是 hook 侧

packages/lint/src/validate-hook-body-writes.ts:740      if (!isRec(body) || body.language !== 'js') return;
packages/lint/src/validate-readonly-hook-writes.ts:254  if (!isRec(body) || body.language !== 'js') return;
packages/lint/src/validate-action-body-writes.ts:294    if (!isRec(body) || body.language !== 'js') return;   ← action 侧

⇒ 卡点名的两个 hook 校验器逐字命中。⚠️ 第三处是 action 侧，它不是缺陷——卡自己量过，同一个 stack 里 action 有 24/31 带 body.source，所以那道门到得了它的人口。⇒ ⛔ 接卡人不要顺手改 validate-action-body-writes.ts:294。

规则 id 也在：validate-hook-body-writes.ts:147 export const HOOK_BODY_WRITE_UNKNOWN_FIELD = 'hook-body-write-unknown-field';

⭐ 这张卡最有力的地方是那个人口数，不是那个门

hooks: 39
{ withBody: 0, withHandler: 39, withSource: 0 }

39 / 39。 而且它带了同 stack 的反向对照：action 是 24/31 带 body ⇒ action 侧规则确实到得了这个应用。

⇒ 「这道门只是覆盖了另一种授权风格」这个读法被排除：在参考 CRM 里，hook 侧规则的覆盖率是零，而它的兄弟是满的。⭐ 一个结构上看不见主流授权形状的规则，不该被当作覆盖读。 卡自己那句我原样采纳。

定型 enhancement / 定级 p2

enhancement：让规则家族到达一个它今天到不了的人口 ⇒ 新增覆盖。⛔ 不是 bug——规则在 body.language === 'js' 的人口上是正确的（卡的第二行注入就是它起火的控制）。

p2，三条叠加：

1. 运行期也是静默的——非系统上下文下引擎把 readonly 键从 UPDATE payload 里移除，调用仍然返回成功。⇒ 作者在任何一层都拿不到信号：lint 不说，调用不说。
2. 它是唯一没有授权期信号的那一面。卡给了同族三个对照：flow-update-readonly-field（error, exit 1）、flow-update-readonly-when-field（warning）、action-api-update-readonly-when-field（warning）——flow 侧与 action 侧都起火，只有 hook 侧全哑。
3. 而 hook 侧恰好是参考应用唯一使用的形状。

不给 p1：需要作者去写一个 readonly 字段；无数据损坏、无越权（写被丢弃，方向是保守的）。

⛔ 一条硬边界，卡自己划了，我加重

⚠️ ⛔ This card asks for nothing about os build's acceptance. It is entirely about which hooks the author-time rules can see。

⇒ ⛔ 接卡人不要把它扩成「os build 该不该对未降级的 hook body 报错」——那是 #13838（开着的），且它自己就在等一个真实人口数。⭐ 顺带一提：本卡正好供上了那个数（参考 CRM 39/39 未降级），值得回 #13838 记一笔，⛔ 但不要合卡。

卡给的方向我认为可行，转述以便接卡人不必重推

checkHookBodyLowering(config) 在任何 Zod parse 之前读 FUNCTION 值，而 #13651 已经把降级的拒绝从 fail-open 改成响亮的。⇒ 若写集抽取能跑在降级后的 body 上——或跑在 os build 已经在做的同一次抽取上——这个家族就能到达 handler 授权的 hook，而不改变 os build 接受什么。

⚠️ 如果做不到，卡给的替代方案同样必须做，⛔ 不能什么都不做：

the honest alternative is to say so on each rule: a rule that structurally cannot see the dominant authoring shape should not read as coverage。

⇒ 五个 id（hook-api-update-readonly-field / hook-api-update-readonly-when-field / hook-body-write-unknown-field / hook-body-write-unprovisioned-anchor / hook-body-source-unparseable）各自标注适用范围。

⛔ 下游记账（本轮第五次同一个陷阱）

hotcrm#1587（F6）的 test/hook-write-shape.test.ts 一行全部记在这三个不可达的 hook-body-* id 上。⇒ 在本卡落地并验证前，⛔ 那条本地断言不得退役，那一行也不得当作 error 覆盖计入。

去重

卡把 #13838（开，不同的 ask）、#13718（开）、#13651（已关，前置条件）、#13770（已关，action 侧对应物，正是 action 行起火的原因）、#4271 / #4383（原始范围）都列清了。我复核这个划分成立。⚠️ 本席位未做穷举枚举。

Claim: PM seat domain:devx @ objectstack (#6023), session session_01Vbw3RPgdtqesx4azk9SbW8, 2026-09-07T07:25Z — dispatching to an os-dev subagent (contract-review tier) on branch claude/issue-16095-hook-rules-reach-handler-authored-hooks.

Clause-②: yes

Reason for yes: the preferred branch changes what os lint refuses. Five published rule ids that today return before looking at a handler-authored hook would begin firing on the dominant authoring shape — a config that passes today could exit 1 tomorrow. That is a change to a published contract's accept/reject behaviour, so the card is worked at contract-review depth and its changeset is at least minor. The fallback branch (annotate each rule's scope) is comment-only and would not have needed the declaration; declaring at the stricter branch is the correct direction.

Pre-dispatch premise checks at this claim (read on origin/main, not on the card):

• Line numbers have drifted, again. The card and triage name validate-hook-body-writes.ts:740, validate-readonly-hook-writes.ts:254, validate-action-body-writes.ts:294. On origin/main the three body.language !== 'js' doors are at :729, :291 and :283. (lint: security-owd-alias cannot fire through defineStack — sharingModel is a closed enum that refuses every alias the rule exists to name #16109 shipped with the same drift — 11 and 48 lines off.) The dev re-reads before touching anything.
• File surface free: of 24 open PRs only PR fix(lint): validateStackExpressions reads an object's fields through the guarded reader instead of an inline cast (#15742) #15791 touches packages/lint (validate-expressions.ts + two tests) — disjoint from this card. validate-security-posture.ts was freed when PR lint(security-posture): record which intakes can reach security-owd-alias — measured, annotated, pinned #16513 landed at 07:20:12Z.
• The card's population measurement (39/39 hooks handler-authored, against 24/31 actions body-authored in the same stack) was taken on hotcrm's pinned @objectstack/lint@17.3.0, not on this tree. It is the card's evidence, not this seat's; the dev re-derives the shape locally before building on it.

⛔ Two boundaries the card and triage both drew, carried into the brief: nothing about os build's acceptance (that is #13838, which is open and waiting on exactly the population number this card supplies — worth a note there, ⛔ not a merge of the two cards), and ⛔ validate-action-body-writes.ts is not a defect — its door reaches its intake (24/31), so it is not to be "fixed" in passing.

The assignee and this comment are the PM's write. The dev inherits both, posts no second claim, and never touches the assignee field.
