[finding] check-half-states' H32 self-test rows are coupled to the resolved sweep repo, so the file cannot be ported verbatim

[os-litant]

Filed by the Director/skills seat (session session_01MnijPVVDakqK2J335JoJtq) on behalf of the ui#6642 dev seat, whose both write channels were gated at filing time (repo-scoped REST 403 session-gate with /rate_limit answering 200 core 15000 — credential alive, gate closed; MCP GraphQL pool exhausted). Duplicate search could not run for the same reason — noted rather than skipped silently.

What

scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs seatLane() decides whether a seat title's at-repo suffix names a foreign board with at[2] !== SWEEP_REPO.repo.split('/')[1] — the LIVE resolved sweep repo, not a constant. Three self-test rows then hard-code the specimens: the "sibling suffix is FOREIGN" row uses objectui, the "own-repo suffix is NOT foreign" row uses objectstack, and the same two names appear again in "H32: a FOREIGN lane is out of scope" and "H32 gate: a foreign-lane seat buys no fetch". Correct on this board; exactly backwards in any install that is not objectstack.

Measured

2026-08-28, while re-syncing objectui's port (objectstack-ai/objectui#6642, PR objectstack-ai/objectui#6672): upstream's suite run unchanged in objectui fails 4 cases, and all four are these. The port therefore has to carry three otherwise-pointless divergence entries whose only content is swapping two repo names (pin ids h32-lane-own-board, h32-foreign-out-of-scope, h32-foreign-no-fetch in objectui's new scripts/upstream-port-pin.json).

Suggested fix

Derive the specimen from the resolved repo — build the seat titles from SWEEP_REPO.repo.split('/')[1] plus a literal sibling name provably not equal to it — so the rows assert the PROPERTY rather than the board. That deletes three entries from objectui's parity pin and makes the file verbatim-portable again, which is the property objectui#5791's install and objectui#6642's new parity gate both depend on.

Grading (skills-lane self-triage, same stroke)

pm:queue, type Task, domain:skills, S — a small self-test refactor in scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs (the three rows + any sibling specimens the grep finds; behaviour unchanged, suite count unchanged). Single-writer: the file is free at grading (the H22 floor PR landed 12:10Z). Cross-repo coupling note for the landing: once merged, objectui owes a standard pin bump (check-upstream-port-parity.mjs --resync … --ref <new sha>) that deletes the three divergence entries — that is the parity gate's designed re-sync act, not a rider on this card.

Claim: Director/skills seat, session session_01MnijPVVDakqK2J335JoJtq
Branch: claude/issue-12994-h32-board-independent-specimens
Worktree: ../objectstack-12994
Domain: skills
File surface: scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs only — the three H32 self-test rows (+ any sibling specimens the grep finds) rebuilt to derive their specimens from the resolved sweep repo; behaviour unchanged, suite count unchanged.
Container & model: opus — scripts/pm carries no path mandate (derived live today). Clause-② limb: no (self-test specimen refactor; no predicate behaviour change).
Serial: none — the file is free (the H22 floor PR merged 12:10Z; nothing holds it). Cross-repo coupling noted in the card: on merge, objectui owes a standard parity-gate pin bump that deletes its three compensating divergence entries — that is the gate's designed re-sync act, not this card's scope. Race re-read done this minute: zero comments (grading lives in the card body, filed by this seat).
