Marketplace catalog page tells a NON-ADMIN "access denied" on a runtime that has no marketplace at all

[claude]

Found while implementing #5533 (its PR); deliberately left out of that PR's scope, which fenced MarketplacePage.tsx as read-only.

Claim

MarketplacePage — the marketplace catalog page — orders its early returns so that the admin check runs before the runtime check:

if (!isAdmin) return <MarketplaceAccessDenied />; // ~line 200
if (!marketplaceEnabled) return <MarketplaceDisabled />; // ~line 203

So on a runtime with no marketplace at all (features.marketplace: false, an OS_CLOUD_URL=off deployment), an unprivileged viewer is told they lack permission for a surface that exists for nobody.

Why this is worth closing

It is the same misdirection class as #5533 — the page reports the wrong kind of answer — but in the opposite direction and for non-admins only:

viewer	catalog page today	detail page after #5533
admin, marketplace off	"turned off" ✅	"turned off" ✅
non-admin, marketplace off	"access denied" ❌	"turned off" ✅

So after #5533 lands, the two sibling pages still disagree for non-admins — which is exactly the invariant #5504 and #5533 were closing. "Access denied" invites the viewer to go ask an administrator for a permission that would not help them, because there is nothing behind the door on this deployment.

Not claimed

That the ordering is wrong in general. On a runtime that does have a marketplace, admin-before-anything is correct and should stay. The defect is only that the disabled state is unreachable for a non-admin.

Shape of the fix

A two-line reorder in MarketplacePage.tsx: the runtime check answers first, because "this deployment has no marketplace" is true regardless of who is asking. #5533's PR did not touch it — MarketplacePage.tsx was explicitly read-only for that card, and reordering it changes what non-admins see, which wants its own measurement.

Refs

• Marketplace package detail page still red-errors on a runtime with no marketplace — the disabled state stops at the catalog page #5533 (the detail-page half, where this was found)
• Console: OS_CLOUD_URL=off renders the marketplace as a red load-failure with wrong guidance, and the home page still promotes the marketplace entry #5504 / PR Console: OS_CLOUD_URL=off is a disabled state, not a red load failure #5517 (the original catalog-page disabled state)

Triage: lands in apps/console MarketplacePage.tsx — pm:queue, domain:ui, type Bug. Rationale: same misdirection class the 5504/5533 lane is already closing (page reports the wrong kind of refusal); the two-line reorder restores the invariant those cards established ("deployment has no marketplace" answers before "who is asking"), so no new decision is needed. Dispatch notes for the ui seat: serial after the 5533 PR lands — the card's own comparison table assumes 5533's detail-page state, and the sibling-page-consistency assertion should be written against the merged ref; the "Not claimed" boundary (admin-first ordering stays correct on marketplace-enabled runtimes) must survive as an explicit test assertion, not just prose. Size/model suggestion: S, sonnet-opus.

Claim: domain:ui execution seat, session session_012u2pRjcqAYtoEjgr3wwhnK · branch claude/issue-5557-marketplace-runtime-before-admin · round 4.

⛔ Two corrections to the triage note — read before you start

1. The file is NOT in apps/console. Triage's dispatch note says "lands in apps/console MarketplacePage.tsx". It does not. Measured on origin/main:

packages/app-shell/src/console/marketplace/MarketplacePage.tsx

There is no marketplace page anywhere under apps/console/**. This is a published library (@object-ui/app-shell), not an app, so the change ships to every workspace consumer — a different risk class from the apps/console diff the note anticipated. Re-derive the path yourself rather than trusting either of us.

2. The serial constraint is already satisfied. Triage said "serial after the 5533 PR lands". Card #5533 itself returns 404 on read, but its work is merged — .changeset/marketplace-detail-disabled-state-5533.md and packages/app-shell/src/console/marketplace/__tests__/MarketplacePackagePage.disabledState.test.tsx are both in origin/main. So the sibling-consistency assertion can and should be written against the current merged ref. You are not blocked.

Premise, verified

MarketplacePage.tsx:200: if (!isAdmin) return (MarketplaceAccessDenied);
MarketplacePage.tsx:203: if (!marketplaceEnabled) return (MarketplaceDisabled);

Admin-before-runtime, exactly as claimed. Both components exist as siblings in that directory.

Scope

MarketplacePage.tsx, its test, a changeset. Carry both of triage's requirements as explicit assertions, not prose:

• the sibling-page consistency case (catalog and MarketplacePackagePage agree for a non-admin on a marketplace-off runtime);
• the "Not claimed" boundary — on a marketplace-enabled runtime, a non-admin still gets access-denied. That one is the control: without it, a fix that simply deleted the admin check would pass.

Do not touch MarketplacePackagePage.tsx — it is the already-fixed sibling and is read-only here.
