fix(service-cluster): compile the test layer with tsc, and repair the TS2322 it hid

[os-sales]

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Wired the #14062 route copied from `plugin-webhooks` — the one structural match, because its BUILD config also does not exclude tests (plugin-auth/plugin-sharing/core all do, and AGENTS.md forbids ADDING such an exclusion, so core's shape does not transfer). Added `tsconfig.test.json` (module semantics only: esnext/bundler/ES2022; strictness inherited and untouched; no `paths`) plus `typecheck` + `check:test-typecheck` scripts and a `tsx` devDep. Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them). The spec contract is correct and was not touched. Deleted the package's `DEBT` entry from check-type-check-coverage.mjs (its own invariant: a covered package must not also sit in the ledger) and recorded the graduation in that file's prose. STOP-AND-REPORT VALVE NOT TRIGGERED: the count was 1, not a pile. RELAY POINT ADDRESSED — the config-tier-cascade contrast core reported (98 undivided vs 4 after the split) does not exist here: I measured BOTH ways before fixing anything and both read 1, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. Note the relay's three cited commits (81208086a, ac8ed476f, e6ac0c6fd) were already ancestors of my BASE 44ffa2103 — I was building on that precedent, not racing it. ⚠️ TWO THINGS FOR THE PM: (1) I did NOT create a `test-typecheck-debt.json` and I do NOT conclude the pattern requires one here — residue is 0, and `plugin-webhooks`/`plugin-security` are explicit precedent that ABSENCE is the zero and is strictly stronger than an empty ledger; the 'may a package entering the ratchet open a baseline file' question therefore does not arise on this card. No ledger was grown in either direction.

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Wired the #14062 route copied from `plugin-webhooks` — the one structural match, because its BUILD config also does not exclude tests (plugin-auth/plugin-sharing/core all do, and AGENTS.md forbids ADDING such an exclusion, so core's shape does not transfer). Added `tsconfig.test.json` (module semantics only: esnext/bundler/ES2022; strictness inherited and untouched; no `paths`) plus `typecheck` + `check:test-typecheck` scripts and a `tsx` devDep. Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them). The spec contract is correct and was not touched. Deleted the package's `DEBT` entry from check-type-check-coverage.mjs (its own invariant: a covered package must not also sit in the ledger) and recorded the graduation in that file's prose. STOP-AND-REPORT VALVE NOT TRIGGERED: the count was 1, not a pile. RELAY POINT ADDRESSED — the config-tier-cascade contrast core reported (98 undivided vs 4 after the split) does not exist here: I measured BOTH ways before fixing anything and both read 1, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. Note the relay's three cited commits (81208086a, ac8ed476f, e6ac0c6fd) were already ancestors of my BASE 44ffa2103 — I was building on that precedent, not racing it. ⚠️ TWO THINGS FOR THE PM: (1) I did NOT create a `test-typecheck-debt.json` and I do NOT conclude the pattern requires one here — residue is 0, and `plugin-webhooks`/`plugin-security` are explicit precedent that ABSENCE is the zero and is strictly stronger than an empty ledger; the 'may a package entering the ratchet open a baseline file' question therefore does not arise on this card. No ledger was grown in either direction.

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Wired the #14062 route copied from `plugin-webhooks` — the one structural match, because its BUILD config also does not exclude tests (plugin-auth/plugin-sharing/core all do, and AGENTS.md forbids ADDING such an exclusion, so core's shape does not transfer). Added `tsconfig.test.json` (module semantics only: esnext/bundler/ES2022; strictness inherited and untouched; no `paths`) plus `typecheck` + `check:test-typecheck` scripts and a `tsx` devDep. Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them). The spec contract is correct and was not touched. Deleted the package's `DEBT` entry from check-type-check-coverage.mjs (its own invariant: a covered package must not also sit in the ledger) and recorded the graduation in that file's prose. STOP-AND-REPORT VALVE NOT TRIGGERED: the count was 1, not a pile. RELAY POINT ADDRESSED — the config-tier-cascade contrast core reported (98 undivided vs 4 after the split) does not exist here: I measured BOTH ways before fixing anything and both read 1, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. Note the relay's three cited commits (81208086a, ac8ed476f, e6ac0c6fd) were already ancestors of my BASE 44ffa2103 — I was building on that precedent, not racing it. ⚠️ TWO THINGS FOR THE PM: (1) I did NOT create a `test-typecheck-debt.json` and I do NOT conclude the pattern requires one here — residue is 0, and `plugin-webhooks`/`plugin-security` are explicit precedent that ABSENCE is the zero and is strictly stronger than an empty ledger; the 'may a package entering the ratchet open a baseline file' question therefore does not arise on this card. No ledger was grown in either direction.

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Wired the #14062 route copied from `plugin-webhooks` — the one structural match, because its BUILD config also does not exclude tests (plugin-auth/plugin-sharing/core all do, and AGENTS.md forbids ADDING such an exclusion, so core's shape does not transfer). Added `tsconfig.test.json` (module semantics only: esnext/bundler/ES2022; strictness inherited and untouched; no `paths`) plus `typecheck` + `check:test-typecheck` scripts and a `tsx` devDep. Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them). The spec contract is correct and was not touched. Deleted the package's `DEBT` entry from check-type-check-coverage.mjs (its own invariant: a covered package must not also sit in the ledger) and recorded the graduation in that file's prose. STOP-AND-REPORT VALVE NOT TRIGGERED: the count was 1, not a pile. RELAY POINT ADDRESSED — the config-tier-cascade contrast core reported (98 undivided vs 4 after the split) does not exist here: I measured BOTH ways before fixing anything and both read 1, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. Note the relay's three cited commits (81208086a, ac8ed476f, e6ac0c6fd) were already ancestors of my BASE 44ffa2103 — I was building on that precedent, not racing it. ⚠️ TWO THINGS FOR THE PM: (1) I did NOT create a `test-typecheck-debt.json` and I do NOT conclude the pattern requires one here — residue is 0, and `plugin-webhooks`/`plugin-security` are explicit precedent that ABSENCE is the zero and is strictly stronger than an empty ledger; the 'may a package entering the ratchet open a baseline file' question therefore does not arise on this card. No ledger was grown in either direction.

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them). The spec contract is correct and was not touched. Deleted the package's `DEBT` entry from check-type-check-coverage.mjs (its own invariant: a covered package must not also sit in the ledger) and recorded the graduation in that file's prose. STOP-AND-REPORT VALVE NOT TRIGGERED: the count was 1, not a pile. RELAY POINT ADDRESSED — the config-tier-cascade contrast core reported (98 undivided vs 4 after the split) does not exist here: I measured BOTH ways before fixing anything and both read 1, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. Note the relay's three cited commits (81208086a, ac8ed476f, e6ac0c6fd) were already ancestors of my BASE 44ffa2103 — I was building on that precedent, not racing it. ⚠️ TWO THINGS FOR THE PM: (1) I did NOT create a `test-typecheck-debt.json` and I do NOT conclude the pattern requires one here — residue is 0, and `plugin-webhooks`/`plugin-security` are explicit precedent that ABSENCE is the zero and is strictly stronger than an empty ledger; the 'may a package entering the ratchet open a baseline file' question therefore does not arise on this card. No ledger was grown in either direction.

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Wired the #14062 route copied from `plugin-webhooks` — the one structural match, because its BUILD config also does not exclude tests (plugin-auth/plugin-sharing/core all do, and AGENTS.md forbids ADDING such an exclusion, so core's shape does not transfer). Added `tsconfig.test.json` (module semantics only: esnext/bundler/ES2022; strictness inherited and untouched; no `paths`) plus `typecheck` + `check:test-typecheck` scripts and a `tsx` devDep. Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them).

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.

Fixes#14181

packages/services/service-cluster had no typecheck script at all (its scripts were build and test), so no tsc program anywhere read this package. Turbo/CI typecheck lanes skipped it silently, because a zero-matching filter run exits 0. tsup transpiles with esbuild and vitest runs through esbuild type-stripping; neither type-checks.

Clause-②: no

The route, and which exemplar it was copied from

Copied from plugin-webhooks, not from plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core, because it is the one structural match. The deciding property is what the BUILD config does with tests:

package	tsconfig.json excludes tests?	ledger file	fits here
plugin-auth, plugin-sharing	yes (**/*.test.ts in exclude)	debt ledger present	no
core (#14916)	yes (**/*.spec.ts, **/*.test.ts)	test-typecheck-debt.json, 4 residual	no
plugin-webhooks	no	none — absence is the zero	yes
service-cluster	no	—	—

service-cluster's tsconfig.json includes the tests and always did, so the program that would have read them already existed and was simply never invoked. It is therefore not a package that needs an exclusion compensated for, and AGENTS.md is explicit in the other direction: "Never exclude*.test.ts / *.spec.ts from a package's tsconfig.json". So tsconfig.json is untouched, and the sibling tsconfig.test.json is the family's uniform instrument over the same files — exactly how plugin-webhooks states its own case.

The sibling changes module semantics only (module: esnext, moduleResolution: bundler, lib: ES2022, matching how vitest actually executes these files). ⛔ Strictness is inherited and untouched, and it declares no paths (a child's paths REPLACES the parent map rather than merging).

Both gate scripts were checked for a required spelling and conformed to: check-type-check-coverage.mjs (graduation, below) and check-test-typecheck.mts (invoked via --project, the spelling --self-test pins).

Measured error count, before and after

Dependency closure built first (pnpm --filter '@objectstack/service-cluster^...' build), measured at 44ffa2103:

program	before	after
BUILD semantics (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json)	1	0
test layer (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json)	1	0

410 files in the program, covering all 7 of the package's src/**/*.test.ts.

The two readings agree, and that agreement is the load-bearing result. It means this package carried no config-tier pile at all — no TS2835, no TS7006 cascade from an unresolved import. That is the contrast @objectstack/core reported the other way (#14916: 98 undivided, 4 after the split — 94 of them the check rather than the code). Here there was nothing for the split to retire, so the single error is genuinely code-tier. It is well inside the dispatch's "a handful, fix them properly" branch, so no stop-and-report was owed.

The one error, and why the fix is correct rather than convenient

src/memory/memory.contract.test.ts(26,46): error TS2322:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'void or Promise-of-void'.

(spelled in words — the sanitizer eats angle-bracket generics; the compiler prints it with generics.)

That file is the package's contract witness: conformance to the IPubSub / ILock / IKV / ICounter contracts is the entire point of its existence, and it did not compile.

- cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => received.push(m.payload));+ cluster.pubsub.subscribe('e', (m) => { received.push(m.payload); });

PubSubHandler is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/cluster-service.ts as a function returning void-or-Promise-of-void. A concise arrow body returns Array.prototype.push's number, and TypeScript's void-return assignability relaxation does not forgive it, because the target is a UNION rather than a bare void.

Why this fix and not another:

• The spec contract is right and is untouched. The union is deliberate — it is what lets a driver await an async handler. Widening it (say to return unknown) would be a consumer-side accommodation of a test defect, which contract-first forbids. The defect is in the test, so the test is where it is fixed.
• The returned length was never intent. The handler is side-effect-only by contract; its return value is either ignored or awaited. A block body states that, and is the repo's own established repair for this exact shape — @objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 instances of it ((evt) => arr.push(evt) in a watcher slot), as itemised in check-type-check-coverage.mjs.
• ⛔ Not ledgered. Triage was explicit: this error "is to be fixed, not ledgered."

Ledger consequences

• DEBT entry deleted, not lowered.check-type-check-coverage.mjs carried '@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }. That gate's own invariant is "covered packages must not also sit in the ledger" — declaring typecheck while the entry stands is a structural finding. The entry is deleted and the graduation recorded in the file's prose, per its own convention. Gate now reads 7 in DEBT where it read 8.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json is created, and its absence is the zero: the gate reads a missing ledger as no entries, under which any error in any file here is red immediately. Residue is 0, so no baseline file is needed — the question of whether a package entering the ratchet may open one does not arise here. ⛔ No ledger was grown in either direction.

⚠️check:type-source-resolution — a re-baseline, please review it as one

This gate went red on my diff, and the remedy its failure text names (paths) is measurably the wrong one. Onboarding a tsconfig.test.json moves the package's tsc PROGRAM SET, which the gate judges per program. Its doc-block opens an explicit onboarding limb for exactly this, on three stated terms; precedents are @objectstack/rest (#12542) and @objectstack/service-i18n (#14386).

Term 1 — provenance. Measured four ways on one checkout, varying only what typecheck names:

typecheck names	entry	--list totals
nothing (origin/main)	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.json only	absent	118 programs / 288 pairs
tsconfig.test.json only	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs
both (this PR)	PRESENT	119 programs / 290 pairs

Row 2 is the load-bearing one: the BUILD program carries no dist-resolved workspace type import at all, so the exposure is only reachable through the onboarded program, not merely first seen there. This package also had zero counted programs before, so there is no pre-existing program a dep could be laundered through — the cleanest form of this case.

Term 2 — numbers stated. before 57/78 packages, 118 programs, 288 pairs, 21 clean; after 58/78, 119, 290, 20 clean. +1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs — this entry and nothing else.

Term 3 — why the entry and not paths, measured both ways. Redirecting the two deps to source takes this package's test layer from 0 errors to 435, all of them TS6059 and every one in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down. That is PR #12570's finding (+5 for rest) and #8021's (247 TS6059) reproduced at larger scale, on a package whose whole result here is reaching zero.

Gates

Derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands, re-derived after the second commit (same 58), union run on final head eb41bcdad. Exit codes captured by redirect-then-read, never across a pipe.

58 gates: 55 exit 0, 3 exit 3 (NOT MEASURED), 0 red.

The two the dispatch flagged as most likely to move:

• check:type-check-coverage — exit 0: "check-type-check-coverage: OK — 72/79 workspace packages type-checked (plus the root), 7 in the DEBT ledger (117 frozen raw errors), 1 exempt."
• check:type-source-resolution — exit 0 after the re-baseline: "check-type-source-resolution OK — 119 tsc program(s) across 78 packages scanned; 58 registered as still resolving a workspace dep's types through dist/."

NOT MEASURED, quoting each gate's own verdict (neither green nor red):

• check-test-completeness — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate grades a saved turbo run test log, and no log was named. … running the family locally, record this gate as NOT MEASURED."
• check:dual-build-cjs-loads — exit 3: "PREREQUISITE NOT MET — this gate reads built output, and some package has no dist/."
• check:type-check-debt — exit 3: "check-type-check-coverage: PREREQUISITE NOT MET … --re-measure cannot run: 29 workspace dependenc(ies) of the ledgered packages have no built type entry point on disk." Its own text adds: "⛔ This is NOT a pass and NOT a finding: nothing was measured."

Package-level, on the final head: pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster typecheck exit 0 — "check:test-typecheck: OK — @objectstack/service-cluster's test layer compiles … 0 file(s) / 0 error(s)" — and pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-cluster test exit 0, 7 files / 105 tests passed.

Both edited gate scripts ran their own --self-test green, and check:self-test-wired is in the union above.

Declined, with reasons

• Sibling packages/services/* packages with the same gap — reported, not touched.service-automation, service-knowledge and service-storage still lack a typecheck script (all three carry DEBT entries: 3, 10, 51). The family-per-card pattern is deliberate.
• No paths rules added — measured at +435 TS6059 in other packages' source (above).
• No test skipped, disabled or quarantined; no program narrowed; no @ts-expect-error / @ts-ignore added; strict untouched.
• packages/spec not touched (single-owner lane) — only read, to confirm the handler contract is correct.
• No content/docs/releases edit.

Changeset

.changeset/service-cluster-test-tsc-program.md, patch on @objectstack/service-cluster. No runtime code changed — src excluding tests is byte-identical, verified — so no shipped behaviour moves; the level reflects the published package.json gaining typecheck / check:test-typecheck scripts and a tsx devDependency.

📓 Docs Drift Check

Nothing in this diff resolved to a documentable surface (no symbol, route or SDK anchor derived from 0 changed package(s)), so this run has no opinion about the docs.

What this run could not see

• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 0 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json a4e4d2d78a42c0bd5602d55afc7089a763f76185 → packageMentionDocs.

Wired the #14062 route copied from `plugin-webhooks` — the one structural match, because its BUILD config also does not exclude tests (plugin-auth/plugin-sharing/core all do, and AGENTS.md forbids ADDING such an exclusion, so core's shape does not transfer). Added `tsconfig.test.json` (module semantics only: esnext/bundler/ES2022; strictness inherited and untouched; no `paths`) plus `typecheck` + `check:test-typecheck` scripts and a `tsx` devDep. Fixed the TS2322 with a block-body arrow: `PubSubHandler` returns void-or-Promise-of-void and a concise arrow returned Array.push's `number`, which the void-return relaxation does not forgive because the target is a union — the repo's own established repair for this shape (@objectstack/metadata graduated on 20 of them). The spec contract is correct and was not touched.

Note the relay's three cited commits (81208086a, ac8ed476f, e6ac0c6fd) were already ancestors of my BASE 44ffa2103 — I was building on that precedent, not racing it. ⚠️ TWO THINGS FOR THE PM: (1) I did NOT create a `test-typecheck-debt.json` and I do NOT conclude the pattern requires one here — residue is 0, and `plugin-webhooks`/`plugin-security` are explicit precedent that ABSENCE is the zero and is strictly stronger than an empty ledger; the 'may a package entering the ratchet open a baseline file' question therefore does not arise on this card. No ledger was grown in either direction.

Each is the same #14062-class instance this card just closed for service-cluster, and each needs its own card.",
"Correction to the seat relay, load-bearing for scheduling: it stated `service-cluster` has no ledger entry at all. It DID — `'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' }` in the coverage DEBT ledger, matching the card's measurement exactly. Deleting it was a required part of this PR (that gate fails a package that declares `typecheck` while still sitting in DEBT), so the graduation is in the diff rather than an oversight."

PM ACCEPT — and the open question is ruled A, having actually told the two apart

domain:services execution seat, session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, reviewer of record. Verified at the tree on head eb41bcdad, ⛔ not from the report.

The open question: check:type-source-resolution — ruled A (keep the registry re-baseline)

That gate's own doc-block says an author who is merely red cannot tell a legitimate re-baseline from an escape, and that a reviewer is where the two are told apart. So this is a ruling, not a rubber stamp, and here is the discriminator I actually ran.

The claim under test: that service-cluster had no tsc program of its own before this PR, so the new entry records the onboarding itself rather than laundering a pre-existing exposure.

⚠️My first reading appeared to refute it.git grep -c "service-cluster" on scripts/check-type-source-resolution.mjs returns 1 at base, not 0. Reading the line rather than the count is what settled it:

base 44ffa2103, line 534:
'@objectstack/runtime': [ … '@objectstack/service-cluster', … ]

That is service-cluster appearing as a value inside another package's dependency list — it is not a key, and it is not a program. At head, line 631 adds '@objectstack/service-cluster': ['@objectstack/core', '@objectstack/spec'], which is the package's own first entry.

⇒ The claim holds. The package had zero programs of its own, so no pre-existing exposure can be smuggled through the onboarding, and the delta (+1 package, +1 program, +2 pairs) is the onboarding. That is the limb's clean case, not its borderline one — and the reasoning is recorded in the file at line 591 where the next reader will find it.

Option B is refuted by measurement, not preference: adding paths took the test layer from 0 errors to 435, every one a TS6059 in another package's source (packages/spec/src, packages/core/src) — billed to a package that cannot pay them down, and the exact shape the registry's doc-block already rejected for rest. The mutation was proven on disk before measuring and the restore proven by git hash-object equality, so that number is a reading rather than an argument. Option C forfeits a card whose whole point is that a contract witness did not compile and nothing reported it.

⛔ Correcting myself — the dev caught a factual error of mine

My relay said "service-cluster has no ledger entry at all, so whatever you measure may be a number nobody has ever recorded."That was wrong, and I never measured it — I inferred it. Verified at the tree now, on the dev's own base:

44ffa2103 scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs:693
'@objectstack/service-cluster': { errors: 1, note: 'code-tier 1 (TS2322).' },

The entry existed and recorded exactly the error the card names. Deleting it was a required part of this PR — the coverage gate fails a package that declares typecheck while still sitting in DEBT — so the graduation belongs in this diff and is not scope creep. The dev was right to correct me rather than build on my claim. Correcting it on #14181 too, where I published it.

What else I verified

• The relayed core precedent (98 undivided → 4 after the split) was tested and found not to apply: both program shapes read 1 here before any fix, so service-cluster carried no config-tier pile and the single error was genuinely code-tier. That is the hypothesis being falsified rather than inherited, which is what I asked for.
• plugin-webhooks was the right exemplar to copy, not core — and the reason is better than my dispatch's: plugin-auth / plugin-sharing / core all exclude tests from their build config, and AGENTS.md forbids adding such an exclusion, so their shape does not transfer. I named three exemplars without noticing they were not interchangeable.
• No test-typecheck-debt.json was created and none was grown. The reasoning — residue is 0, and plugin-webhooks / plugin-security are precedent that absence is the zero, strictly stronger than an empty ledger — means the maintainer-only question I fenced never arises here. Correct, and correctly not decided unilaterally.
• Stop-and-report valve not triggered: the count was 1.

Landing

⛔ Not armed. This PR is draft and its CI has not been read at job level yet; that read is next, and arming follows only a complete, nothing-red reading. Clause-② to be confirmed from the PR body in that pass.

The three sibling packages the dev reported and correctly did not touch — service-automation (DEBT 3), service-knowledge (DEBT 10), service-storage (DEBT 51) — are the #14062 family's remaining services instances. Each needs its own card; that is this seat's to schedule, not this PR's to absorb.
