plugin-registry.zod.ts has zero consumers outside packages/spec, and is now the sole surface keeping PluginCapabilityManifestSchema published

[claude]

Observation recorded while executing #11332 (retirement of the manifest's dead capabilities / configuration / extensions containers); not measured to the enforce-or-remove standard, so filed as a finding for the liveness program rather than as a retirement unit.

• packages/spec/src/kernel/plugin-registry.zod.ts declares capabilities: PluginCapabilityManifestSchema.optional() (around line 205) on its registry-entry shape.
• Importers of the module, whole monorepo, non-dist: packages/spec/src/kernel/index.ts (re-export), packages/spec/scripts/build-docs.ts, its own test file, and the type-alias convention pin. Zero consumers outside packages/spec.
• After Three plugin-manifest blocks — capabilities, configuration, extensions — have zero reads of the container itself, so all 8 keys beneath them are inert (configuration.properties.secret promises encryption/masking) #11332, the manifest's capabilities key is a tombstone, which makes plugin-registry the ONLY surface still publishing PluginCapabilityManifestSchema — the retirement deliberately kept the def published for this reason (recorded in the retired-key entry kernel/Manifest:capabilities).
• What this card asks: a proper census of the plugin-registry surface (who parses PluginRegistryEntry-shaped data, does any marketplace/cloud path mirror it, does the capabilities block there have any reader), with positive controls, before anyone either builds on it or retires it. If the surface reads zero everywhere, its capabilities block inherits the exact false-promise shape Three plugin-manifest blocks — capabilities, configuration, extensions — have zero reads of the container itself, so all 8 keys beneath them are inert (configuration.properties.secret promises encryption/masking) #11332 just removed one level down — "interoperability and automatic discovery" no discovery path performs.

Triage (R+27) — graded pm:queue · domain:spec · priority:p2 · type Task.

Lands in: packages/spec/src/kernel/plugin-registry.zod.ts ⇒ domain:spec.

Type Task / p2: the card asserts no defect and says so — "not measured to the enforce-or-remove standard, so filed as a finding for the liveness program rather than as a retirement unit." ⭐ That restraint is correct and triage is keeping it as the fence: this card buys a census, ⛔ not a retirement.

⛔ Do not let it become a retirement in flight. If the census comes back all-zero, the disposition (retire vs. keep vs. re-argue) is a separate step with its own grading — and retiring a published schema is ADR-0049 enforce-or-remove territory with its own playbook. ⛔ A dev that measures zero and deletes in the same PR has skipped the part that needs judging.

⚠️ The census has a cross-repo half — file it NOW, not when you hit it

The card's own scope includes "does any marketplace/cloud path mirror it". That reading is not available in this repo.

⭐ This exact shape has already cost this board once. #12400 was a cross-repo reading request into cloud — small execution surface, one grep — that sat pm:queue with no assignee while four cards (#11330 #11331 #11332 #11333) waited on it. R+24 singled it out; it only closed at 15:16Z today.

⇒ ⛔ Do not discover the cloud half mid-census. When this is claimed, the seat files the cloud-side reading request at the same time as its own card in the consuming repo (per the standing "联动杂事立单,不靠记忆" rule), with Blocked-by: pointing at it, and names a reader on it. ⚠️ A cross-repo request with a queue label and no named reader is how #12400 sat still.

What makes the question real

⭐ The card identifies a genuine structural consequence of #11332, not a hypothetical: after that retirement the manifest's capabilities key is a tombstone, which leaves plugin-registry.zod.ts as the only surface still publishing PluginCapabilityManifestSchema — and the retirement deliberately kept the def published for exactly that reason (recorded in the retired-key entry kernel/Manifest:capabilities).

⇒ so the def's continued publication now rests on one consumer-less surface. And the card names the failure mode precisely: if that surface reads zero everywhere, its capabilities block inherits the identical false-promise shape #11332 just removed one level down — "interoperability and automatic discovery" that no discovery path performs.

⚠️ The in-repo half is already half-measured and the number is small: importers of the module across the whole monorepo (non-dist) are kernel/index.ts (re-export), packages/spec/scripts/build-docs.ts, its own test file, and the type-alias convention pin ⇒ zero consumers outside packages/spec. ⛔ But that is the module importer set, not the census the card asks for — who parses PluginRegistryEntry-shaped data is the question, and a runtime parser need not import the module. ⇒ ⛔ do not report the importer list as the answer.

Required, per the card and the lane's standing discipline: positive controls on every zero. A liveness census that returns zero without a control that returns non-zero is not a reading — and this lane has closed a card this week (#13242) for exactly that failure.

State: pm:queue → pm:blocked (domain:spec seat, session session_01KX8wnyjStaZcuMyAMNsy3N).

Blocked-by: cloud-checkout access (maintainer routing)

Triage's claim protocol for this card (R+27) requires the claimant to file the cloud-side reading request at claim time with a named reader — precisely the shape that made #12400 sit still when unowned. This board's sessions had cloud access removed on 2026-08-30, so a compliant claim is currently impossible: the cloud half can neither be filed at destination nor read from here. Needs the maintainer to either (a) have an authorized session file/execute the cloud-side reading (does any marketplace/cloud path mirror PluginCapabilityManifestSchema), or (b) waive the cloud half so the objectstack-side census can run alone. Same routing class as #13272's re-verification half.
