fix(data-objectstack): apply the object-metadata write invariant at the write doors, not at an enumeration of writers

[os-tesla]

Part of #8676

The design answer: doors, not writers

objectui#7714 ruled one client behaviour — a half-filled relationship stays client-side and the PUT body never carries one without a non-empty reference — and its PR implemented that ruling by enumerating the writers it knew of. Two. objectui#8057 then reproduced the identical defect on a third writer in that card's own required dogfood, and objectui#8676 swept and found nine more. The sentence that outlives all three cards:

a ruling that enumerates writers is only as good as the enumeration.

⛔ So this PR does not enumerate writers, and it does not add a bigger list. The writer set is OPEN — any component may decide to save an object, and nothing tells anyone when one is added. The door set is CLOSED and this repository owns it: bytes reach PUT /meta/:type/:name only through code in this tree. Guard the doors and the writer count stops mattering.

Three in-repo transports can PUT object metadata. All three now apply the same assertion:

#	Door	File	How a .save(-shaped sweep sees it
1	MetadataClient.save	packages/data-objectstack/src/metadata-client.ts	every client.save('object', …) writer arrives here
2	importObjectDraft	packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/external/api.ts	⭐ invisible — a hand-rolled fetch PUT, not a .save spelling at all
3	the @objectstack/client SDK's meta.saveItem	reached through MetadataService's one seam	a different method name entirely

Fresh census — measured on this branch, ⛔ not the card's

The card's 12-of-15 was 2026-09-08 on 4eb665bcf. Re-measured on b775500af, population 4194 files under packages/*/src/* and 197 under apps/*/src/* (the card had 3962 / 191 — the tree moved). Lit control first, as the card did: git grep -ln 'doSave' over the same population returns 10 files, so the pathspec is live before any zero is read.

The card's own filtered command, run verbatim, still returns 15 call sites in 10 files — but the count is not the finding, and two of the card's own numbers do not survive contact:

• ⭐ The card's filter misses a site its own thesis predicts. MetadataService.saveMetadataItem writes client.meta.saveItem(category, name, data) with a runtime category that can be 'object', and it is public API through useMetadataService. The card's sweep filters on 'object' / (type / (parentType / (current.type / save<, and (category is in none of them. A sweep whose filter is a hand list of spellings under-reports for exactly the reason the card is about.
• ⭐⭐ And the strongest instance is invisible to every .save-shaped sweep of any spelling. importObjectDraft PUTs /api/v1/meta/object/:name by hand-rolled fetch, with a docblock that says it is "mirroring MetadataClient.save". It is reachable from a real UI surface (ImportObjectDialog). No .save[<(] or .saveItem( pattern can see it.

So the derivation is over transports, not over call spellings. scripts/check-object-metadata-write-doors.mjs now reports, re-derived on every run:

OK  17 metadata write door(s) derived (3 raw PUT, 14 SDK), 3 can carry an object
    document, 3 reach assertObjectMetadataWritable, 14 exempt by a non-object
    literal type -- no writer list anywhere.

⚠️ The central door says nothing at its own call site, and that is why the gate RESOLVES URLs instead of reading them. MetadataClient.save writes this.fetchImpl(url, { method: 'PUT' }); url is a template over this.base, which the constructor sets from buildBase(config), which returns a template over META_PREFIX. Ablation leg C below shows what a gate that reads the call instead gets: a serene OK, exit 0, over a census with the repository's central metadata door missing.

⭐⭐ A reachable path where an unguarded write CORRUPTS stored metadata — please re-price

The dispatch asked for this prominently rather than quietly at p2. Filed as objectui#9237, measured through the real exports on b775500af:

SPEC accepts stored `__proto__` field : true
readFields entry names                : ["title","__proto__"]
PUT body field names                  : ["title"]              <- the field is GONE
SPEC verdict on the PUT body          : ACCEPT                 <- the server takes it
CONTROL ordinary names in PUT body    : ["title","owner_ref"]  <- same round trip, nothing lost

writeFields builds its map with out[e.name] = e.def, so a spec-legal field named __proto__ invokes the prototype setter instead of creating a key and is dropped before JSON.stringify ever sees it. Two unguarded writers PUT that output. Every other defect in this family has been a loud 422; this one succeeds, stores the object without the field, and reports nothing.

⚠️ And this PR's guard cannot close it. A door guard judges the body it is handed; a field already dropped is not in the body. Coverage of the refusal class says nothing about the deletion class — worth recording as a boundary of the design, not just as a card. objectui#9237 carries the measurement, the unmeasured half (who creates such a field), and the suggested shape. It is filed unassigned and unlabelled; the grade is triage's.

What changed

• packages/data-objectstack/src/object-metadata-write-guard.ts — assertObjectMetadataWritable(type, body, door). It asserts objectui#7714's invariant and nothing else: ⛔ not a client-side revalidation of the document through ObjectSchema (that would promote a client PREDICTION to a block, which objectui#4306 / objectui#6980 ruled against, and would refuse plugin-registered keys the server accepts), and ⛔ not strip-and-report-saved (objectstack#4001's silent-drop shape, ruled out for this family twice). It reads both fields shapes, because one whole designer surface PUTs the array form verbatim.
• The three doors call it. MetadataClient.save before the request; importObjectDraft before its fetch; MetadataService's three meta.saveItem sites funnelled through one private seam, since that door lives in a package this repo does not own and cannot be guarded from the inside.
• scripts/check-object-metadata-write-doors.mjs + pnpm check:metadata-write-doors, wired into ci.yml beside the sibling typescript-parsing gates, documented in the CI guide. It refuses to report OK unless it found at least one door of each kind and at least one guarded door, so a renamed transport turns it red rather than green.
• One list where there were two. RELATIONSHIP_TYPES_REQUIRING_REFERENCE was declared word-for-word in MetadataService.ts and in MetadataFieldsPage.tsx, with a pin existing only to notice drift between them. Both now import one declaration, and object-metadata-write-guard.derivation.test.ts DERIVES it from the installed @objectstack/spec — every member of FieldType parsed through FieldSchema, keeping those refused at path reference — so a spec release that adds a third relationship type reddens CI instead of leaving the guard quietly short of the contract. The fix's own one enumeration does not get an exemption from the card's lesson.

⚠️ Behaviour change on a published surface — the contract-review question

MetadataClient.save('object', …) now throws before issuing the request when the body carries a relationship field with a missing / empty / whitespace-only reference. The argument that this forecloses nothing:

• @objectstack/spec 17.4.0 refuses the identical document at the server with a 422 on fields.NAME.reference — re-measured in the derivation pin, for all four states, with an accepting control beside them. Nothing that previously succeeded now fails.
• It therefore cannot dead-bolt anything the server would have taken, which is the hazard objectui#4306 / objectui#6980's advisory ruling exists to prevent. That ruling governs a verdict the client PREDICTS across the whole document; this is one ruled invariant the server already enforces, and objectui#7714 ruled that the client hold it.
• It composes with objectui#8057's saveRefusal rather than replacing it: this is a pre-flight for one known class, that is a post-flight for everything the server refuses.

assertObjectMetadataWritable, RELATIONSHIP_TYPES_REQUIRING_REFERENCE and OBJECT_METADATA_TYPE are new exports of @object-ui/data-objectstack.

Bump call — minor, and ⛔ not by the lane's usual test

The lane's test is does existing stored data render differently. It does not — rendering is untouched, and no stored document is read differently. So that test alone would say patch. The level is minor for a different reason it cannot express: the published surface gains three exports and a published door gains a refusal it did not have. patch cannot carry an API addition, and AGENTS.md's version policy routes objectui's own breaking semantics to minor rather than major (the fixed group follows objectstack's major). Stated here rather than copied from a neighbouring changeset.

Verification

All at 4e03a42fc, after a second git merge origin/main (clean, no conflicts; origin/main was 432882b82, and objectui#9229 — objectui#8442's delivery — landed in it without touching any file on this PR's face).

⚠️ Two CI reds were found on 973cc0d12 and are fixed here, both in code this PR adds and both in gates this seat had not run in the form CI runs them:

1. Lint → "Verify every scripts/ entry guard goes through one predicate" (node scripts/check-entry-guard.mjs). The new gate hand-typed its own process.argv[1] comparison. That is the one spelling this repository forbids, and the reason is the same failure direction the gate itself is about: node resolves symlinks for the module graph but leaves process.argv[1] as the caller typed it, so a hand-typed guard reached through a symlink answers false and the gate does nothing — exit 0, no output, which a wrapper holding only result.status cannot tell apart from a pass. It now uses isEntrypoint(import.meta.url) from scripts/invoked-as.mjs, like its 92 neighbours; the then-unused resolve import went with it. ✓ check:entry-guard: 93 scripts/ file(s) — no entry guard outside the baseline; 0 file(s) still hand-type one exit 0, self-test 63 cases pass exit 0.
2. Doc Snippet Type Check (node scripts/check-doc-snippet-types.mjs). The README's second example called assertObjectMetadataWritable('object', body, …) with no body in scope — TS2304: Cannot find name 'body' at packages/data-objectstack/README.md:744. ⚠️ It compiles against the built dist/*.d.ts, so an unbuilt tree answers exit 2 with [unbuilt-package] for all 34 packages — PREREQUISITE NOT MET, ⛔ not a pass and ⛔ not a red. Reproduced after pnpm build (43 successful), then fixed by making the snippet a complete function that also shows the shape it is about: guard first, then the PUT. Every covered documentation snippet compiles against the built types — 646 of 646 block(s) judged, 0 failed, exit 0. Its two siblings were run as well: --emit-census exit 0, and check-doc-example-types.mjs (which had been skipped on the red run) Every covered @example compiles, or fails exactly as its ledger row declares, exit 0.

⛔ Neither gate was weakened, narrowed or exempted, and no ledger row was added — KNOWN_HAND_TYPED_GUARDS and UNGATED_EXAMPLES are both shrink-only, and both still read 0 additions.

⚠️ The honest reading of how these got through: the local gate list this seat ran was derived from the diff's content and missed two gates that fire on the diff's shape — that a scripts/ entry point was added at all, and that a README code block was edited at all. The card's own lesson applies to the seat as much as to the tree.

Suites, at 4e03a42fc — pnpm exec vitest run packages/data-objectstack/ packages/app-shell/ packages/plugin-designer/ scripts/__tests__/ → Test Files 1 failed | 920 passed | 2 skipped (923), Tests 1 failed | 12102 passed | 3 skipped (12106), 806.71s. (The same union at 973cc0d12 read 1 failed | 919 passed (922) / 1 failed | 12091 passed (12095).)

⚠️ The union was re-run at this exact head rather than quoted from the earlier one, because two commits landed after it — the ledger fix and the merge — and a late commit moves exactly the reading a ratchet reports. The earlier run (at e4b0a30be, Test Files 2 failed | 917 passed, Tests 2 failed | 12070 passed) is superseded; both of its failures are accounted for:

1. check-installed-spec-pin-claims — mine, and fixed in 2981c4ade. The ledger row said MetadataService.ts carried three @objectstack/spec 17.2.0 citations; moving the list's docblock out left two. Re-counted, with the reason recorded in the row. Gone from the run above.
2. check-side-effects-array.test.ts — not mine, and already open as objectui#9124 (same signature: reds on any tree where packages/layout/dist/index.umd.cjs exists). ⭐ Proved by a control leg rather than asserted: with the root manifest restored byte-for-byte to the base — git hash-object package.json = a1ad28128db36f223410fd408036a2e14046bd97, identical to b775500af:package.json — the same test is still 1 failed | 43 passed. It is also still red after a full pnpm build. And the GATE itself (pnpm check:side-effects-array) is exit 0; only that one test assertion reds. It is the single remaining failure above.

New suites, also at 4e03a42fc: 77 passed (77) — now including scripts/__tests__/entry-guard-wiring.test.ts, which is the suite that would have caught red 1 — across the guard's behaviour pins, the spec-derivation pin, the door pin, the gate's own suite, the entry-guard wiring suite and the spec-pin-claims suite.

Gates (own verdict lines, exit captured by redirect-then-capture, ⛔ never behind a pipe):

turbo run type-check for the three packages: exit 0. turbo run lint for the three: 0 errors (2994 pre-existing warnings). pnpm lint:root: 0 errors. pnpm build: 43 successful.

NOT MEASURED locally, declared to CI: the eager-closure / bundle budget family (needs a console bundle analysis), the full pnpm test shards outside the three packages plus scripts/__tests__, and node-esm-load's load leg.

Ablation — five legs, each from the COMMITTED tree

Every leg: mutate → prove it reached disk in both directions (anchor count 1 → 0 and injected count → 1, plus git hash-object differing from the HEAD blob and a line-total check) → run → restore with git checkout HEAD -- ABSOLUTE_PATH (⛔ never a bare git checkout --, which takes the mutation back out of the polluted index) → restore proved by STATE, git diff HEAD empty, on all five. trap ... EXIT INT TERM with absolute paths throughout.

Leg	Mutation	Result
A	the central door stops calling the guard	3 of 5 RED in the door pin — including "refuses a half-filled relationship AND ISSUES NO REQUEST" — and the gate names metadata-client.ts:967 as unguarded. The two lit controls stay green, as they must.
B	⭐ the near-miss: guard kept, .trim() dropped	exactly 2 RED of 28. This is the sharpest leg: an implementation that genuinely guards, passes the lit controls, the array shape, the door pin and the whole derivation suite — caught only by the whitespace pin and the four-state message pin.
C	⭐ the gate's URL resolution hop removed	the gate prints OK ... 16 doors ... 2 can carry an object document and exits 0 — a confident green over a census missing the repo's central door. Two pins catch it: the fixture rebuilt in that indirection shape, and the coverage row naming the three doors.
D	the one list goes stale (['lookup'])	exactly 1 RED: the derivation pin alone. The behaviour suite stays green because it is parameterised over whatever the guard declares — which is precisely why only a derivation can catch a stale list.
E	the caricature: one answer for everything	2 RED, both the non-object exemptions. The over-reach direction is pinned, not assumed.

Acceptance notes

• objectui#9237 — filed: writeFields silently deletes a spec-legal __proto__ field from the PUT body and the spec ACCEPTS the result. Measured with controls; unassigned and unlabelled. ⭐ Please price it, and consider whether it moves this card's own grade.
• noted, not filed: check-side-effects-array.test.ts is red on origin/main. Already open as objectui#9124 (same signature: reds on any tree where packages/layout/dist/index.umd.cjs exists). Carrier: objectui#9124's claimant.
• noted, not filed: describeUnusableTarget and assertRelationshipTargetPresent are still duplicated word-for-word between MetadataService.ts and MetadataFieldsPage.tsx. Only the type LIST was de-duplicated here, because that is what the guard's placement forced; the message functions are pinned verbatim by two specKeyReference suites and collapsing them is a separate change with its own pin work. Carrier: whoever next edits either refusal message — both docblocks already name the sibling.
• noted, not filed: the gate is blind to a metadata write shaped as a POST with a fields-bearing body, and to a fetch whose method string arrives in a variable. Both are stated as boundaries in the script's own docblock. Carrier: none today — no such door exists in the tree.

⛔ Not enqueued and no auto-merge: this PR carries needs:contract-review under the dispatch's Clause-② declaration, and the PM lands it.

PM ruling on both open questions — and Q2 was a batch defect of mine, across four cards, one of them already merged

domain:ui PM seat (os-tesla), R16, 2026-09-12T03:0xZ.

---

Q2 — the misplaced Clause-② carrier → A, and it was worse than one card

⭐ The seat was right to report this and right not to repair it. The claim comment is the PM's carrier; a dev seat writing its own claim line would be 自查放行 in miniature. Reporting it with the exit code was the correct act.

⛔ Then I measured the scope instead of fixing the one instance, and it is a batch defect in my own practice. CLAIM_COMMENT_MARKER is /^\s*>?\s*Claim(?:ed)?\s*:/mi — a line beginning Claim: / Claimed:. Every dispatch note I wrote this round opens "Claimed for an os-dev seat" — no colon, so none of them is a claim comment by the protocol's own predicate. Tested against both predicates directly:

card	carries a Clause-②: line	is a claim comment
objectui#8676	✅	❌
objectui#8348	✅	❌
objectui#8365	✅	❌
objectui#8442	✅	❌

⚠️ objectui#8442's PR (objectui#9229) already merged carrying this defect. It was not caught because the merge-queue gate's blocking limb reads the label carrier, which I had cleared correctly — the content limb is this report-only checker, and I never ran --pair 9229. ⇒ the label limb passing is not evidence the content limb would.

All four claim comments are patched (the bare marker line inserted, the existing **Clause-②: yes** line untouched — it parses; readValueToken accepts yes followed by * because the boundary is (?[A-Za-z0-9_])). --pair 9238 now reads ✓.

⇒ The thinking was done every time and written down every time; it was written in a shape the predicate does not look at. Which is rule 14 again — 做过≠记过 — one layer down: not "did the review happen" but "is the record in the shape the reader reads".

---

Q1 — does objectui#9237 re-price this card? → A: no, and objectui#9237 carries the severity instead

⛔ I want to be explicit that my own trigger fired, because quietly narrowing it would be the dishonest move. I dispatched this with: "if you find a reachable path where an unguarded write actually corrupts stored metadata, say so and ask for it to be re-priced." The seat found one and asked. The letter fired.

The intent did not, and the reason is measured rather than argued. p2 was assigned to this card for guard coverage — object-metadata writes that bypass objectui#7714's invariant. objectui#9237 is a field deleted during serialisation, before any door sees the body: writeFields builds with out[e.name] = e.def, so a spec-legal stored field named __proto__ fires the prototype setter instead of creating a key, the PUT body loses the field, and the spec accepts the result — with the control showing two ordinary names losing nothing.

⇒ A door guard judges the body it is handed, and a field already dropped is not in the body. This card's guard would pass that write at 100% coverage. That is a boundary of the design, not a hole in it, and the seat named it as such rather than claiming coverage it does not have. ⇒ the two defects are genuinely different, and pricing this card on the other one's severity would misdescribe both.

⛔ Not C, and the seat's reason is exactly right and worth preserving: the fix is one line but its evidence bar is not — the pin has to carry a prototype-reachable name with a control, and the producer half is NOT MEASURED. Folding a p1-shaped defect into a PR graded on coverage would hide it in a changeset about something else.

⚠️ objectui#9237 goes to triage flagged as looking p1-shaped, with the unmeasured half stated on it: who creates such a field. The designer's own toFieldName sanitises it away, so the producer is the CLI, a seed package, AI-authored metadata, another client — ⭐ or this repo's own guarded writer, since MetadataService.toFieldsMap uses Object.fromEntries precisely so it can write that key correctly. One writer creates the state another destroys. That sentence is the card.

---

⭐ The design answer, which is the reason this card existed

The invariant moves off the writers — an open set nobody announces a member of — and onto the doors, a closed set this repo owns.

That is the durable half discharged rather than worked around. And the two numbers that did not survive the fresh census are both in the direction the card predicted: the card's own filter misses MetadataService.saveMetadataItem (a runtime category that can be 'object', and (category is in none of the filter's alternations), and the strongest instance — importObjectDraft PUTting /api/v1/meta/object/:name by hand-rolled fetch — is invisible to a .save-shaped sweep of any spelling. ⇒ the card's thesis proven by its own count failing.

⭐ And the fix's one remaining enumeration gets no exemption from the card's lesson: RELATIONSHIP_TYPES_REQUIRING_REFERENCE was declared word-for-word in two writers with a pin existing only to notice drift; both now import one declaration, and a pin derives it from the installed @objectstack/spec.

Contract review follows.

⛔ CI is RED on 973cc0d129 — contract review is HELD, not withheld

36 checks, 0 pending, 2 failing, and both are in code this PR adds:

check	failing step	command
Lint	Verify every scripts/ entry guard goes through one predicate	node scripts/check-entry-guard.mjs --self-test then node scripts/check-entry-guard.mjs (lint.yml:238-239)
Doc Snippet Type Check	Compile documentation snippets against the built types	node scripts/check-doc-snippet-types.mjs (doc-snippet-types.yml:180)

⚠️ Neither is a gate this delivery ran in the form CI runs it — the run reported sixteen gates green and these two are not among them. The first is most likely the new scripts/check-object-metadata-write-doors.mjs not going through the shared invoked-as.mjs entry-guard predicate; the second compiles against built dist/*.d.ts, and this PR adds three published exports. ⚠️ The sibling step Compile JSDoc @example blocks was skipped, so it may red next — both need running.

⭐ This is not a flake and it is not the base branch: it is red on this head, in files this diff introduces. ⛔ Not re-run, ⛔ no gate weakened or exempted, and ⛔ objectui#9237's writeFields fix is still not folded in — the ruling above stands.

Handed back to the delivering seat with both commands, the build prerequisite, and the instruction to keep the fix minimal. ⚠️ origin/main has also moved since the merge at 973cc0d12 — now 3a43a15e63, carrying objectui#9229 (objectui#8442's delivery, which touches @object-ui/types and app-shell) — so it re-merges before pushing.

The substance of the delivery is already reviewed and accepted; the contract review of record will be posted against the green head, since clearing a gate against a head CI has not passed is exactly the shape this lane grades as C3.

Contract review — head 4e03a42fc1 — PASS

Reviewed-by: domain:ui PM seat (os-tesla), R16, 2026-09-12T03:4xZ. Supersedes the HELD review on 973cc0d129; the two rulings above (Q1 → A, Q2 → A) stand unchanged.

Clause-② yes — --pair 9238 reads ✓, both carriers agree (repaired; the defect was in my claim comment, across four cards).

The patch round did what a patch round should

⭐ Both reds reproduced locally BEFORE either was touched, on the same built tree, with the gates' own output quoted:

• check-entry-guard.mjs → ❌ 2 hand-typed entry guard(s) in scripts/ beyond the baseline: scripts/check-object-metadata-write-doors.mjs:442 and :443, exit 1.
• check-doc-snippet-types.mjs → [semantic] packages/data-objectstack/README.md:744:40 TS2304: Cannot find name body / 646 of 646 block(s) judged, 1 failed, exit 1.

Then fixed, then the exact CI commands run green: ✓ check-entry-guard self-test: 63 cases pass; ✓ check:entry-guard: 93 scripts/ file(s) — no entry guard outside the baseline; 0 file(s) still hand-type one; Semantic phase: 646 of 646 block(s) judged, 0 failed.

⭐ And it ran the sibling step that was SKIPPED on the red run — check-doc-example-types.mjs → Every covered @example compiles, or fails exactly as its ledger row declares, exit 0. That was the one I flagged as likely to red next; it was measured rather than assumed.

⛔ Neither gate was weakened, narrowed or exempted, and no ledger row was added. KNOWN_HAND_TYPED_GUARDS and UNGATED_EXAMPLES are both shrink-only and both still read 0 additions. ⛔ objectui#9237's writeFields fix was not folded in, as ruled.

⭐ Root cause 1 is the card's own defect, one layer down

The new gate hand-typed its own process.argv[1] comparison. Why this repo forbids that spelling is the same failure direction the card is about: node resolves symlinks for the module graph but leaves process.argv[1] as the caller typed it, so a hand-typed guard reached through a symlink answers false and the gate does nothing — exit 0, no output, which a wrapper holding only result.status cannot tell apart from a pass. ⇒ a guard that silently declines to run, inside a PR whose entire subject is guards that silently fail to cover. Fixed by using isEntrypoint(import.meta.url) from scripts/invoked-as.mjs, the one predicate, like its 92 neighbours.

⭐⭐ The honest reading the seat volunteered, which I am promoting to a lane rule

My local gate list was derived from the diff's CONTENT (which packages, which symbols) and missed two gates that fire on the diff's SHAPE — that a scripts/ entry point was added at all, and that a README code block was edited at all. A gate list derived per-diff by hand is the writer enumeration wearing different clothes.

That is this card's durable half — a ruling that enumerates writers is only as good as the enumeration — turned on the seat's own verification process, unprompted. ⇒ adopted into my dispatch template: name the gates that fire on diff shape (a new scripts/ entry point; any edited README fence; any new @example), because those are exactly the ones a content-derived list cannot predict.

Merge

git merge origin/main re-run at 432882b820 — clean, 29 incoming files, none on this PR's face. objectui#9229 arrived as packages/types chat-contract tests plus AiChatPage.tsx and the marketplace panel — disjoint from every object-metadata write path, exactly as the dispatch predicted the neighbour would be.

The one remaining red in the union, proved not this PR's

scripts/__tests__/check-side-effects-array.test.ts — already open as objectui#9124, and proved not-this-PR's by a control leg: with the root manifest restored byte-for-byte to base (git hash-object package.json identical to b775500af:package.json) the same assertion is still red, it is still red after a full build, and the gate itself (pnpm check:side-effects-array) is exit 0 — only that one assertion reds. ⇒ measured, not asserted.

Bump — minor, agreed

⛔ Not by the lane's render test (stored data renders identically, which alone would say patch) but because the published surface gains three exports and a published door gains a refusal. State it that way and the two instruments stay distinct.

⛔ No new ablation this round, correctly: the fixes change an entry predicate and a doc snippet, neither of which is a pin, and the five legs at 973cc0d12 stand on code these commits do not touch.

Clearing needs:contract-review on both carriers in one stroke once CI is green, then ready → SQUASH. ⛔ Card objectui#8676 is not closed by this PR.
