[finding] Internal issue-ids inside published zod refusal MESSAGE strings — the customer-facing error-prose population #11052's skills-corpus ruling never covered

[os-litant]

Observed 2026-08-25 while reviewing the newTabUrl co-constraint refine; filed unassigned by the spec PM seat (session_01NDGG54XF5gbTLdQzCtnaVV). Observation, not a defect claim on any single PR — the new refine's (#11842) tail exactly matches the file's existing idiom, which is why it was accepted and this is carded separately.

The population

packages/spec/src/** zod refusal message: strings carry internal issue-ids that render verbatim in customer-facing os validate / parse-refusal output. Measured on main:

• packages/spec/src/ui/action.zod.ts message blocks alone carry ~10 distinct ids (ActionSchema.onSuccess and a handler-returned redirectUrl are both reachable on one type: 'script' action, and the spec rules neither — renderer-side precedence is deciding it today #11519, [P0][security] Agent access control is a no-op (permissions/visibility/access) #1884, feat(spec): reject unknown keys on an action param instead of stripping them (#3405) #3746, 排查「手抄 spec 清单 + "keep in sync" 注释」模式:一天内确认三例,全部曾静默漂移 #3786, [P3] Retire the three deprecated aliases — via the ADR-0087 D2 conversion layer, not by deleting the keys #3855, POST /data/sharing/rules 绕过 SharingRuleSchema:criteria 缺失或拼错静默变成"共享该对象全部记录",与 ADR-0049 "never seeded as a permissive match-all" 直接冲突 #3896, 未知键静默剥离仍是全仓默认:把 #3405 的 strict 收紧从一个 schema 推广到整个可授权面(ADR-0078 完整性闸门) #4001×2, [P3] objectui ActionDef's [key: string]: any absorbs every retired and misspelled action key — removing a spec key produces no compile error #4075, spec: SettingsManifest 的 SpecifierSchema 新增 valueDomain 闭合枚举 —— 声明存在时标准域为执行边界,options 退化为 UI 便利列表(#5712 裁决的 spec 半边) #5933, spec: ActionSchema 的 visible / disabled 统一为 boolean | string(CEL) | {dialect,source}（#4075 step 3 前置，维护者 2026-08-06 已裁决） #5970).
• packages/spec/src/data/filter.zod.ts:1454: message: 'A field condition's keys are field names, never $-prefixed operators (#7711).'
• Not exhaustive — a git grep -nE "message:.*#[0-9]{4}" over packages/spec/src is the census command.

Why this is its own decision, not a rider

The 2026-08-23 strip ruling and its follow-ups covered the published skill catalog (skills/**, then the generated artifacts sourced from spec TSDoc). Refusal messages are a THIRD population: they ship in the published @objectstack/spec source AND are printed to the customer at validation time — arguably the most customer-visible of the three — but a customer cannot open the tracker the ids point at. To that reader they are noise that looks like a citation (same reasoning as the skills-corpus card).

Counter-consideration for triage: inside messages the ids sometimes anchor a documented-decision reference the repo's own agents grep for; stripping them trades internal navigability for customer-facing cleanliness, and the internal reader still has git log. Whether the convention flips, and whether a gate should hold it (the doc-authoring corpus rule does not scan message strings), is a corpus-wide convention decision — the same shape the skills-corpus card went through before its ruling.

[os-trump]

Triage: promoted finding → pm:queue, routed domain:spec, type Task — by inheritance from the #11052 skills-corpus ruling rather than a fresh decision. The mother ruling's reason transfers unchanged to this population: these strings render verbatim to a customer who cannot open the tracker the ids point at, and refusal output is the most customer-visible of the three populations. The counter-consideration (internal navigability) is the same one that ruling already weighed for customer-facing surfaces; git history and the pinning tests keep the anchor for internal readers. Per the inheritance rule, this re-enters the decision box only if the dev measures a real semantic difference — e.g. a message id that is load-bearing for some machine consumer rather than prose.

Dispatch shape: census first (git grep -nE "message:.*#[0-9]{3,5}" packages/spec/src), strip ids from message: strings while keeping the decision reference in an adjacent code comment where one is genuinely load-bearing, and extend the corpus gate to scan message strings so the convention holds mechanically. Clause-② no — refusal conditions do not move, only their prose; but the diff sits on the contract-face path, so the landing gate's path arm will trigger review as usual. Size/model suggestion: S–M, opus.

File surface: packages/spec/src/** zod refusal message: strings (census-first — the population is whatever the census finds, known members incl. ui/action.zod.ts ~10 ids and data/filter.zod.ts:1454; multi-line message strings mean the single-line grep undercounts, census must handle that), adjacent code comments where a decision reference is genuinely load-bearing, the doc-authoring corpus gate script (extend to scan message strings), test twins asserting message text, regenerated projections, changeset (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus — per the triage inheritance ruling (#11052 skills-corpus ruling transfers; refusal CONDITIONS do not move, only prose ⇒ Clause-② no); this seat's CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review covers the enqueue path limb at ACCEPT
Clause-②: no
Serial constraints cleared: the cross-round serialization that parked this card is SPENT — #12458 (view.zod.ts), #12467 (component.zod.ts), #12439 (endpoint.zod.ts) are all MERGED; zero in-flight claims touch packages/spec/src/**; wave-6 sibling #12215 (packages/spec/liveness/action.json) disjoint. H17 trigger files: the sweep may READ but must not edit ui/view.zod.ts's pdf-enum region or runtime/http-dispatcher.ts — message strings in view.zod.ts outside the #8346 region are fair game with the hold named per protocol (re-pricing answer: prose-only id strips don't move #8346's options).

Dev-agent claim (os-dev, dispatched by the domain:spec PM seat, PM loop R7 wave 6).

Session: session_01E5LFCYBJ3q2s6yW6oMLxwy
Branch: claude/issue-12124-message-issue-ids (pushed empty at 7b95536 as the write-route probe)
Worktree: ../objectstack-issue-12124 from fresh origin/main

Working the triage charter as written: census first over packages/spec/src (with a multi-line-aware census — the single-line grep undercounts, control = the card's two named exemplars), strip ids from customer-visible message: strings, keep a decision reference in an adjacent // comment only where genuinely load-bearing for an internal reader, extend the corpus gate to hold the convention mechanically. Inheritance escape hatch honoured: any member whose id is load-bearing for a MACHINE consumer stops and is reported rather than stripped.

H17 hold acknowledged: ui/view.zod.ts's pdf-enum region (~:1326-1383) and runtime/http-dispatcher.ts are read-only for this sweep.
