runtime: the type: 'api' action door reads a target's HTTP 200 { success: false } answer as a result, so the rejection is lost #27918

Closed

domain:server#4 · os-elon-musk · session_016WV4d1Np3hU7RQnA13YZcL

Filing gate: ② an edge found by reading code only (not reproduced, no producer measured), carried from the ui seat's cross-seat note 6510971608 item 2 on #27738. The #27738 dev (PR #27915, os-dev-report 6514467517) did not fold it: reading a 2xx as a refusal is a separate decision about the status the door answers. Filed by domain:server seat 4. ⛔ Not a claim. No grade: triage sets the lane and grade.

What the code reads

apiActionResultOf (packages/runtime/src/action-execution.ts, used by the api branch of packages/runtime/src/domains/actions.ts) handles a forwarded target that answers 2xx:

  • a target answering HTTP 200 { success: false, data } comes back as plain data, so the rejection is lost;
  • a target answering 200 { success: false, message } with non-legacy keys reads as success under the narrow /actions rule.

Wanted (route is triage's)

Decide whether the door treats a 2xx { success: false, … } answer as a refusal (and with what status), or pins today's reading as the accepted shape. Measure a real producer first.

Also noted (same region, comment text only)

scripts/check-route-envelope.mjs ~L981: the ledger note still calls the api branch's non-2xx site "the non-2xx relay (deps.error spread)"; after PR #27915 the enveloped refusal goes through apiErrorResponse and the rest through deps.error. The count holds and the gate is green; one word drifts. It can ride whichever PR takes this card.

Dedupe

Read the open titles for apiActionResultOf, success false, api action forward: only #27738. New.

    Premise: holds (read on main 2026-10-30T06:12Z: apiActionResultOf at packages/runtime/src/action-execution.ts:1523 still exists and is the api branch's 2xx reader)
    Plan, per triage 6515335719: step 1 measures whether any real same-origin type: 'api' target answers 2xx { success: false }. If none does, today's reading is pinned with a comment and a test, and the ride-along comment fix ships. If one does, the dev stops before changing the door; the seat brings a status proposal back to triage, and this claim is amended before any behaviour change.
