docs: two pages still teach owner-type sharing rules (`type: 'owner'` / `ownedBy`), which have not parsed since v17

[os-steve]

Found while working #9698 (PR #9890) — recording, not claiming. Same family as that card (sharing metadata that is taught as valid and grants nothing), but a different surface and a different fix, so it is not carried in that PR.

What is wrong

type: 'owner' sharing rules and the ownedBy key no longer parse — v17 (#1878) removed them from SharingRuleSchema rather than leave them declared-but-skipped (ADR-0049). Two docs pages still present them as authorable, and one of them contradicts itself on the same page.

1. content/docs/permissions/permissions-matrix.mdx — the "Configuration Example" block ships a second rule in the removed form:

{
 name: 'west_accounts_to_directors',
 object: 'account',
 type: 'owner',
 ownedBy: { type: 'position', value: 'west_region_rep' },
 sharedWith: { type: 'position', value: 'sales_director' },
 accessLevel: 'edit',
}

The same page's own Enforcement status callout, a few lines above, already says the opposite: "owner-type rules and group / guest recipients — previously declared but skipped at seed time — no longer parse". An author who copies the example gets a parse failure from a page that told them it would fail.

2. content/docs/protocol/objectql/security.mdx — carries a whole ### Owner-Based Sharing section with a YAML example and a reference to OwnerSharingRuleSchema. Its enforcement callout is also stale in a subtler way: it says owner-type rules are "[experimental — not enforced]: the seed bootstrap skips them (logged)", which describes the pre-v17 state. They are not skipped now; they do not parse.

The second one is the more expensive of the two, because "skipped but authorable" and "rejected at parse" call for different author behaviour, and this is the protocol reference.

Not in scope here

content/docs/permissions/sharing-rules.mdx:234 already states the removal correctly — it is cited as the shape the two pages above should converge on, not as a defect.

The v17 release note (content/docs/releases/v17.mdx:432) mentions ownedBy as removed vocabulary, which is correct and is release-notes territory anyway.

Suggested shape (not prescribed)

Replace both examples with the enforced criteria form, and repair the protocol page's enforcement callout to say "removed in v17, does not parse" rather than "experimental — not enforced". Whether OwnerSharingRuleSchema still exists as a name worth mentioning in the protocol reference is the one judgement call here.

 "premise_still_valid": true,
 "summary": "Both named pages fixed, and the H3 sweep found the defect in 4 spots rather than the 2 the card named. permissions-matrix.mdx: the intro claimed a discriminated union with two type values (SharingRuleType.options is [\"criteria\"], one member), the Owner-Based table row still carried the pre-v17 '[experimental - not enforced] / skipped at seed time' language that contradicted the page's own callout four lines below, and the Configuration Example shipped the type:'owner' block. protocol/objectql/security.mdx: the recipient enum comment listed the removed group/guest and omitted the enforced team/business_unit, the '### Owner-Based Sharing' section shipped a removed-form YAML example plus a reference to the non-existent OwnerSharingRuleSchema, and the enforcement callout described the pre-v17 skipped-and-logged state. Ruling 1 is satisfied explicitly on both pages: each now spells out that a skipped rule is still authorable and is ignored, whereas a removed one is rejected by the schema. Ruling 2 followed - wording converges on sharing-rules.mdx:234, which was good enough to reuse nearly verbatim ('none of these shapes parses anymore, so a stale definition fails loudly at authoring time instead of silently doing nothing'). The two extra spots were taken in place under the bounded in-place-fix exemption (same defect class, correct form pinned by the enum in sharing.zod.ts, no other claim on those files, same gate family) and are named with evidence in the PR body. Nothing under content/docs/releases/, docs/adr/, .claude/, skills/, AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md was touched; check:docs-audit-scope held at 179 hand-written docs, so no regeneration and no #9866 collision. One step is NOT closed: the skip-changeset label could not be applied - the GitHub API returned 'rate limit already exceeded for user ID 317605050' on get_label and on two get_labels read-backs (shared fleet identity).

Notable detail: check:docs-audit-scope printed 'docs-accuracy-audit scope is in sync with content/docs/: 179 hand-written doc(s)' - unchanged count, ruling 5 held. H1 parse probe ran against the freshly built dist (pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec build under the same lock, so no stale .d.ts/dist), feeding the card's exact example block to SharingRuleSchema.safeParse: success=false with THREE issues - [invalid_value] path [\"type\"] 'Invalid input: expected \"criteria\"'; [invalid_union] path [\"condition\"] 'Invalid input'; [unrecognized_keys] path [] 'Unrecognized key(s) on this sharing rule: `ownedBy`.' carrying the schema's own guidance ('`ownedBy` belongs to the removed `owner`-type sharing rule ... removed from the authoring surface (ADR-0078). Only `criteria` rules are authorable; express membership-shaped access via RLS dynamic membership or business-unit depth scopes (ADR-0057).'). Every replacement rule was fed through the same safeParse and PARSES; the retired owner form REJECTS. No ablation applicable (docs-prose PR, no guard added). No changeset (ruling 6). Control-byte scan clean on both changed files and on the PR body (grep -naP over the [\\x00-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x7f] class).",

 "out_of_scope_findings": []
}

H2 verdict — OwnerSharingRuleSchema is not a real exported name, and there is no finding to file.
It is not the "live export nothing can author" case the card anticipated; the symbol is absent from the tree entirely. grep -rn "OwnerSharingRuleSchema" over packages/ apps/ examples/ scripts/ returns zero hits (the sole occurrence was the doc line this PR removes); it is absent from packages/spec/api-surface/security.json, which lists CriteriaSharingRuleSchema (const), SharingRuleSchema (const) and SharingRuleType (type) with no owner variant; and at runtime Object.keys of the built @objectstack/spec/security gives exactly CriteriaSharingRuleSchema, OWDModel, ShareRecipientType, SharingLevel, SharingRuleSchema, SharingRuleType, defineSharingRule. So the protocol reference had to stop naming it; it now points at CriteriaSharingRuleSchema and states that SharingRuleSchema is that schema.

H3 totals — 7 occurrences across 4 files; 6 across 2 files were defects, all 6 fixed. The remaining two are permissions/sharing-rules.mdx:234 (correct, and the convergence target) and content/docs/releases/v17.mdx (correct, and release-notes territory — untouched per ruling 3).

H4 — verified at source, not from the docs table. effectiveSharingModel in packages/plugins/plugin-sharing/src/sharing-service.ts maps public_read_write / controlled_by_parent to 'public'; buildReadFilter returns null unless the model is private, and buildWriteFilter returns null only when it is public — its own comment states it: "applies to BOTH private and read (public_read) models - public_read is read-open but write-owned; only a fully public object is write-open." So: opportunity is private (both gates apply, the read rule widens the read filter — grants); account on the matrix page is public_read, where read is already universal, so the rule carries accessLevel: 'edit', which is precisely what opens the write gate to non-owners (grants); account on the protocol page is private, declared in that page's own preceding account.object.yml block (grants). Because the matrix rule grants only by virtue of its edit level, that page gained a callout making the OWD-posture requirement explicit — a rule on a public_read_write object parses, materializes, and grants nothing.

One stale-doc detail worth the PM's eye: the schema's own ownedBy guidance message cites ADR-0078, while both docs pages and the v17 release note cite ADR-0049. The prose here cites ADR-0078, since that is the text the runtime actually prints at an author.

Correction to one line of the report above (not a second report — the os-dev-report comment remains the one to parse).

The report's summary said the skip-changeset label could not be applied because of the API rate limit. That has since cleared and the step is now closed and read back. PR #9904 carries:

labels on PR 9904: ['documentation', 'size/s', 'skip-changeset']
skip-changeset applied: True
bot labels preserved: True

The write was a union with the bot-applied documentation and size/s rather than a bare set, so nothing the bots added was clobbered. Read-back is what closes the step, and it is green — no action needed from the PM here.

PR state confirmed at the same moment: draft: True | state: open | head sha: d237370527 — the head sha still matches the commit the green gate union was run at.
