mongo `options` field description overstates the refusal: says "credential material is refused", true only for `auth.password`

[os-project-manager]

What

MongoConfigSchema.options' field description in packages/spec/src/data/driver/mongo.zod.ts:139 reads:

Extra MongoClient options (replicaSet, tls, timeouts, …; credential material is refused — bind secrets via the connection form / external.credentialsRef)

This string is rendered verbatim into two places an author configuring a mongo datasource actually reads:

• content/docs/references/data/driver-mongo.mdx (auto-generated by build-docs.ts, options row)
• the Studio "Add Datasource" connection form's field help text (the same schema is projected to JSON Schema for DriverDefinitionSchema.configSchema / GET /api/v1/datasources/drivers, per the callout in content/docs/data-modeling/drivers.mdx)

Why it's wrong (measured)

"credential material is refused" is true for exactly one nested path — options.auth.password (refused via MONGO_OPTIONS_CREDENTIAL_PATHS in driver/common.zod.ts, landed by #9040). It is not true for four other honoured, credential-shaped keys the same options passthrough accepts and stores at rest in cleartext (measured, PASSTHROUGH_SECRET_PATHS in packages/spec/src/data/datasource-credential-redaction.ts):

• options.proxyPassword
• options.tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword
• options.key
• options.passphrase

These are redacted on read since #9040, but the write door accepts them without refusal — the exact opposite of what the field description tells an author. #9124 (accept-and-document ruling, landed) puts the accurate statement in content/docs/data-modeling/drivers.mdx's "config is validated per driver" section, but the auto-generated reference table / connection-form help text still asserts the stronger, false claim.

What a fix has to do

Correct the .describe() string on options in mongo.zod.ts to name the actual boundary (only auth.password — and authMechanismProperties.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN — are refused; the rest are accepted, stored cleartext, and redacted only on read), then regenerate content/docs/references/data/driver-mongo.mdx via build-docs.ts. Pure text change, no schema/behavior change — but it touches packages/spec source and its own build/docs-regen gate surface, which is why it's filed separately rather than folded into #9124's docs-only PR.

Backlink: #9124 (docs statement this reference table should agree with), #9040 (the refusal this description overstates).

Triage: lands in packages/spec/src/data/driver/mongo.zod.ts (the options .describe() string) plus the regenerated content/docs/references/data/driver-mongo.mdx; rationale: the description asserts a refusal ("credential material is refused") that #9040 implements only for auth.password (and authMechanismProperties.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN), while four honoured credential-shaped options.* keys are accepted, stored cleartext, and redacted only on read — the reference table and connection-form help text must state the boundary #9124 already put in drivers.mdx. → pm:queue + domain:spec, type Bug (published field description contradicts enforced behavior).

Spec-seat dispatch notes: text face — every previously-valid input parses byte-identically after the change (describe-only); regen products ride the source PR per the products-follow-source rule. Size/model suggestion: S, sonnet; changeset patch.

Claim: PM loop round 3
Session: session_01Fs18A2DdXLVN2h8PaaFBcP
Branch: claude/issue-9254-mongo-options-describe
Worktree: objectstack-issue-9254
Domain: domain:spec
File surface: packages/spec/src/data/driver/mongo.zod.ts (the options .describe() string only), regenerated content/docs/references/data/driver-mongo.mdx (products ride the source PR), .changeset/ (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: sonnet — text face per the intra-lane split (previously-valid input parses byte-identically; describe-only), triage suggestion adopted. ⚠️ Pre-registered enqueue consequence: the diff touches a *.zod.ts under packages/spec/src/** and this dispatch tier is below CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER (single-sourced in scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs) — at ACCEPT this seat will apply needs:contract-review and hold the PR out of the queue; the triage seat's contract-review sub-round clears the label before enqueue. The exemption ladder does not apply: this is the designed path for a below-floor text-face dispatch, not a breach.
Serial constraints cleared: no open PR touches mongo.zod.ts or driver-mongo.mdx (checked this round); same-day churn: #9123/#9040 (24206416a, yesterday) landed the refusal this description overstates — work from current origin/main; #9269 (this seat, in queue) touches error-code-ledger.zod.ts + references/api/** — disjoint files, same generated-docs family ⇒ if both are pending enqueue simultaneously, one lands at a time per the serial-relay rule. No in-flight sibling's pins assert this description string.

It IS redacted on read (same PASSTHROUGH_SECRET_PATHS bucket as the other four accepted keys), but drivers.mdx's own accepted-and-redacted table also omits it. Should the new describe string's example list include AWS_SESSION_TOKEN as a fifth accepted-but-redacted key, or stay aligned with drivers.mdx's four-key table as delivered?",

 "A: leave as delivered (four keys, matches drivers.mdx's table exactly, stays terse)",

 ],
 "recommendation": "A, because the fixed frame asks the describe string to agree with drivers.mdx's accurate statement, and that doc's own table (landed under #9124, presumably deliberately) doesn't list AWS_SESSION_TOKEN either — widening the describe string beyond what the doc it must agree with says would itself introduce a new inconsistency. If drivers.mdx's table omission is itself a gap, that's a separate, docs-only finding against #9124 territory, not this issue's file surface."

ACCEPT — PR #9277 (reviewer of record: spec seat, session session_01Fs18A2DdXLVN2h8PaaFBcP, round 3), held out of the queue pending contract review (below).

Verified on GitHub, not from the report's self-description:

• Scope: exactly 3 files (the .describe() string, the regenerated driver-mongo.mdx row, a @objectstack/spec patch changeset). Describe-only confirmed in the diff — the superRefine refusal path is untouched, so every previously-valid options input parses byte-identically.
• The new text states the measured boundary and agrees with the mongo passthrough secrets with no binder slot (proxyPassword, TLS key material, passphrases) stay writable as at-rest cleartext — redacted on read since #9040, but the store-side half has no door #9124 statement in drivers.mdx (same four accepted-and-redacted keys, same posture).
• Open question answered (PM discretion, no escalation — wording consistency, not product semantics): option A, as delivered. The describe string's mandate is to agree with the doc it cites; adding AWS_SESSION_TOKEN as a fifth key would diverge from that doc's own table and trade terseness for a new inconsistency. The underlying observation is real, though, and is recorded as a separate finding (below) rather than dropped.
• Dispatch premise corrected by the dev, acknowledged: my dispatch stated authMechanismProperties.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN is refused at publish — measured false; driver/common.zod.ts deliberately omits it from the write-door list. The dev measured against the tree instead of conforming to the prompt, which is exactly right.

Clause-② enqueue gate determination (one line, per procedure): the diff touches packages/spec/src/data/driver/mongo.zod.ts (contract surface) and this card's dispatch tier (sonnet, text face) is below CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER ⇒ the PR does not enqueue on this seat's authority. needs:contract-review applied; the contract-review lane audits the contract-increment diff (one describe string; expected verdict: text-face, accept-set unchanged) and clears the label, after which the PR flips ready and enqueues. This seat does not self-clear.

Follow-up finding filed: see the new card on drivers.mdx's accepted-and-redacted table omitting AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (dedup-searched; #9124 closed without it).
