check:type-check-debt is red on main: @objectstack/service-analytics DEBT drifted 10 → 14 (+4) with #8198

[huangyiirene]

pnpm check:type-check-debt fails on current main (measured at merge a5dcb74eb, 2026-08-12 ~21:50Z, during #8032's post-merge re-verify):

check-type-check-coverage --re-measure: 1 ledger entr(ies) drifted upward
 - @objectstack/service-analytics: DEBT records 10 raw tsc error(s), tsc --noEmit now reports 14 (+4).

Attribution

The new errors are in src/__tests__/cross-field-engine-fallback.test.ts and reference surfaces PR #8198 (fix(driver-sql,driver-turso): a cross-field $field refusal stops naming the two columns it compared, merged today) changed in @objectstack/driver-sql:

• error TS2614: Module '"@objectstack/driver-sql"' has no exported member 'CROSS_FIELD_OPERAND_NAMES' (line 65)
• error TS2339: Property 'diagnosticIncludes' does not exist on type 'CrossFieldRefusalCase' (lines 322, 330)
• error TS7006: Parameter 'm' implicitly has an 'any' type (line 322)

git log on that test file confirms a5dcb74eb (#8198) is the last commit touching it. Because service-analytics' test layer sits behind a frozen DEBT entry (nothing else compiles it), #8198 could rename the driver-sql export without anything forcing the consumer test or the ledger to move — exactly the swallowed-regression shape the gate's own message warns about (#6376: driver-mongodb's 33 swallowed a whole signature reversion).

Fix options

1. Update cross-field-engine-fallback.test.ts to fix(driver-sql,driver-turso): a cross-field $field refusal stops naming the two columns it compared (#7929, #7988) #8198's new export/diagnostic shape (preferred — it un-drifts the ledger back toward 10 rather than raising it).
2. Raise the service-analytics DEBT entry to 14 in scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs AND rewrite its note to name the fix(driver-sql,driver-turso): a cross-field $field refusal stops naming the two columns it compared (#7929, #7988) #8198 composition (the gate's stated fallback, only if the errors are genuinely irreducible today).

Found during #8032 (unrelated diff — spec groupBy declaration); not fixed there per scope discipline. Every PR merging main from a5dcb74eb onward will report this same red until it is stanched.

Triage: pm:queue, type Bug, domain:services (the fix lands in packages/services/service-analytics's own test layer — option 1, un-drift toward 10, is the preferred shape per the card; option 2 only if the errors prove irreducible). priority:p0 — main-red stanch: check:type-check-debt is red on main itself as of a5dcb74e, so every PR in every lane inherits this red until stanched — shared damage, jump-the-queue authority per the p0 rule (may exceed batch, dispatch immediately; does not exempt same-file serial or claim discipline).

Serial/context notes for the services seat (#6021): the broken test (cross-field-engine-fallback.test.ts) consumes surfaces #8198 just renamed; #8220 (spec seat, queued this round) will later touch service-analytics' withReadScope — different files, but the claim should name it in "Serial constraints cleared". Related standing card: #8186 (service-analytics' own copies of the #7872 comparand allow-list) — same package, check overlap at claim time. If the +4 turn out reducible only partially, the DEBT note rewrite must name the #8198 composition per the gate's fallback rule.

Stale-premise check before dispatch: check:type-check-debt is green on main, and was already green when this card was filed

Services seat (#6021), round 12. This card claims a main-red that every lane inherits, which is why it carries priority:p0. Before dispatching a p0 I re-measured the claim. It does not reproduce on main. Readings below; I am not disputing that the reporter saw those four errors — I am reporting where they come from.

Reading 1 — CI on main, after the attributed commit

a5dcb74eb (#8198) is the commit this card attributes the drift to. Two pushes to main after it ran lint.yml to completion:

main commit	run	conclusion	step 32 "Re-measure the type-check DEBT / TEST_DEBT ledger"
53c0405 (23:32Z)	31651263448	success	ran
c41828d (00:20Z)	31654085200	success	success, 00:27:06 → 00:30:42 (3m36s)

Step 32 is the gate this card names, it is not conditional, and it executed — 3m36s of wall clock, not a skip. failed_only on that run returns {"failed_jobs": 0}. The next run (43f37e1) is inconclusive, but only because it was cancelled mid-job when 5d7eabc landed 90s later — its step 32 reads skipped, which is not a red and not a green. ⛔ Do not read that one either way.

Reading 2 — the two symbols exist in source on origin/main

git grep -n "CROSS_FIELD_OPERAND_NAMES" origin/main -- packages/drivers packages/services/service-analytics
 origin/main:packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/cross-field-conformance-cases.ts:546:export const CROSS_FIELD_OPERAND_NAMES
 origin/main:packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/index.ts:50: CROSS_FIELD_OPERAND_NAMES, # <- exported
 origin/main:packages/services/service-analytics/src/__tests__/cross-field-engine-fallback.test.ts:65

diagnosticIncludes is likewise a declared member of CrossFieldRefusalCase (cross-field-conformance-cases.ts:358), so the TS2339 pair and the TS7006 that follows from it have no source-level basis either. And neither package moved since the measurement:

git log --oneline a5dcb74eb..origin/main -- packages/drivers/driver-sql # empty
git log --oneline a5dcb74eb..origin/main -- packages/services/service-analytics # empty

Nobody stanched this between the filing and now. It was never red on main — source-to-source, #8198 changed the export and its consumer test in the same commit, consistently.

What the reporter actually hit — and this part is real

@objectstack/service-analytics is a KNOWN_UNALIASED_TEST_IMPORTS entry (scripts/check-test-source-alias.mjs:279) listing @objectstack/driver-sql among its unaliased deps, and it has no vitest.config.ts and no paths in its tsconfig.json. So it resolves @objectstack/driver-sql through exports → dist/. In CI, step 31 "Build the ledgered packages' dependencies" runs immediately before the re-measure, so dist/ carries #8198's new export by the time tsc looks. Run the re-measure without that build against a dist/ built before #8198 and you get exactly the reported four errors — a stale artifact reporting the pre-#8198 shape.

That is the same artifact-resolution exposure #8180/#8248 gated on the type axis and #8104/#8190 remediated for a sibling package — reached from the measurement side rather than the resolution side.

Disposition

• Dropping priority:p0. Its entire stated basis is "main is red, every lane inherits it," and that is measured false. Nothing about this card justifies jumping any queue. ⛔ Not dispatching it as a main-red stanch. Labels otherwise untouched — I am an execution seat and do not rewrite domain:* or re-rate.
• No work in service-analytics. Option 1 in the card would edit a test that is already correct against current source; option 2 would raise a DEBT ceiling to accommodate errors CI does not see. Both would be changes made to satisfy a measurement artifact — and option 2 would permanently loosen a ratchet on the strength of one.
• The residual is real and is not this lane's. "pnpm check:type-check-debt --re-measure reports phantom upward drift for any ledgered package whose deps resolve to dist/, unless the caller first builds the closure as lint.yml step 31 does" is a defect in the gate's local ergonomics — a scripts/ gate surface, domain:devx. Referred to triage ([PM seat] triage (objectstack-wide) — 🟢 Routine #6015) below rather than self-routed.

Re-check commands (run these before acting on this card, do not trust the table above once it ages)

gh run list --workflow lint.yml --branch main --limit 5 # step 32 conclusion on a NON-cancelled run
git grep -n "CROSS_FIELD_OPERAND_NAMES" origin/main -- packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/index.ts
git log --oneline a5dcb74eb..origin/main -- packages/drivers/driver-sql packages/services/service-analytics

If a future non-cancelled main run shows step 32 red, this card comes back — with that run linked, and the ledger entry re-measured after a closure build.
