`client.reports.save` accepts an input its own service contract refuses — `SaveReportInput.query` is required and neither the SDK nor the route checks it

[os-zhuang]

Found while implementing #8140, which narrowed return types only. This is on the input side
and was deliberately not ridden into that PR.

Measured at 1f6d04703.

What is wrong

client.reports.save declares its parameter as any:

save: async (report: any): Promise< SavedReport > => {
 const res = await this.fetch(`${this.baseUrl}/api/v1/reports`, {
 method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(report ?? {}),
 });
 return this.unwrapResponse< SavedReport >(res);
},

The type the route's service method actually takes is SaveReportInput
(packages/spec/src/contracts/report-service.ts:89-97), on which query: ReportQuery is
required:

export interface SaveReportInput {
 id?: string;
 name: string;
 description?: string;
 object: string;
 query: ReportQuery; // ← required
 format?: ReportFormat;
 ownerId?: string;
}

And the route does not check it either — POST /reports forwards the body straight through
(packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts:10293):

const row = await svc.saveReport(req.body ?? {}, context ?? {});

So a caller can send a report definition with no query at all; whether that is refused, stored
half-built, or throws depends entirely on which reports implementation is mounted.

How it was measured — this is not a code-reading claim

While implementing #8140 I briefly bound the parameter to SaveReportInput. tsc immediately
failed on this repo's own test, packages/client/src/client.test.ts:352:

src/client.test.ts(352,35): error TS2345: Argument of type '{ name: string; object: string; }'
 is not assignable to parameter of type 'SaveReportInput'.
 Property 'query' is missing in type '{ name: string; object: string; }' but required in
 type 'SaveReportInput'.

That call is client.reports.save({ name: 'Pipeline', object: 'lead' }) — a fixture that has been
constructing an input the contract refuses, invisibly, because the parameter is any. I reverted
the parameter narrowing (out of #8140's declared scope) rather than adjust the fixture to make a
type error go away, since the fixture is evidence, not noise.

⚠️ The fixture is not itself the defect and should not be "fixed" alone: it is a mock-transport
test that never reaches a real service, so adding a query to it silences the signal without
closing anything. The defect is that nothing on the path — SDK parameter, route, or a schema at the
door — states the requirement.

Adjacent, same class

Seven public SDK methods take a parameter typed any (packages/client/src/index.ts):

$ grep -nE '^\s+[a-zA-Z_]+: async \(.*: any[,)]' packages/client/src/index.ts
1161: query: async (payload: any) => {
1185: explain: async (payload: any) => {
3039: upload: async (file: any, scope: string = 'user'): Promise<FileUploadResponse> => {
3264: trigger: async (triggerName: string, payload: any) => {
3302: create: async (name: string, definition: any): Promise<any> => {
3318: update: async (name: string, definition: any): Promise<any> => {
4185: save: async (report: any): Promise<SavedReport> => {

reports.save is the one with a measured consequence, so it is the subject of this card; the
other six are listed so a fix can consider whether the same reachable-contract argument applies
(automation.create / update at 3302 / 3318 are the input half of #11924's routes).

Why it matters beyond typing

This is the contract-first shape from AGENTS.md Prime Directive #12 read from the producer side: an
authoring surface that accepts off-spec input and passes it to a service that requires more. The
right fix is to reject it loudly at the door — a schema at the route, or the parameter typed to the
contract, or both — rather than to keep the SDK permissive and let each reports implementation
decide what a query-less report means.

Triage: lands in packages/client/src/index.ts (bind reports.save input) plus the packages/rest route seam; domain:cli. → pm:queue, Bug — declared≠enforced: SaveReportInput.query is required by the service contract and neither the SDK nor the route checks it (measured via tsc against the repo's own test). Clause-②: yes — restoring enforcement changes accept/reject behavior at the route; the claim must declare it and dispatch runs at the contract-review tier. Hard serial: #8140 is in flight on the same file — dispatch only after its PR merges. Note for the dev: client.test.ts:352 sending no query is part of the fix surface, not evidence the shape is legal.

Unlock scan — PARTIALLY unlocked, still fenced. ⛔ Not dispatchable. domain:cli seat, R37, session session_01HbG3rGVLjZStHQxHDtzJdJ.

Recording this because "half-released" is the state that gets lost between rounds, and the visible half looks like a green light.

Released: triage's named serial was #8140, which is now closed completed by PR #11929 (MERGED). packages/client/src/index.ts has since taken a second merge as well — #11925 / PR #12062, on origin/main at 22c42c9b. Both holders of that file are gone.

⛔ Still held: this card's fix surface is two files, and triage named both — "lands in packages/client/src/index.ts (bind reports.save input) plus the packages/rest route seam". That seam is packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts:10293 (svc.saveReport(req.body ?? {}, …)), and rest-server.ts is held by #11932 / PR #12105, verified NOT on origin/main just now. ⛔ Same-file hard serial, released by the merge, not the arming.

⭐ The trap worth naming: a multi-file card is only unlocked when EVERY file in its surface is. The client-side release is loud (two merges, one of them today) and would read as a green light to anyone checking the file the card's title names. The seam is the quiet half, and it is the half that still blocks.

Premise re-verified on the merged ref, since an upstream merge is exactly the thing most likely to have fixed a neighbour: at origin/main the SDK still declares save: async (report: any): Promise<SavedReport> with no validation, and SaveReportInput.query is still required at packages/spec/src/contracts/report-service.ts:89. The defect is intact — this is a live fence, not a stale card.

Stays pm:queue, unassigned, Clause-② yes per triage (restoring enforcement changes accept/reject behaviour at the route). Next up in this file once #12105 merges.
