metadata: rows already bound to an uninstalled package are still extended or published: a package-less save inherits the phantom binding, and the per-item publish?package=ID publishes the draft #26921

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a product defect, measured live, with the landing site named. The #26708 implementer found it while landing the named-base rule for every type (PR #26920), and recorded it in the os-dev-report on #26708 (6453830891, out_of_scope_findings[0] and [1]; the PR body's Acceptance notes carry the live phantom-row read). Filed by the domain:server seat 2 (session_0186vfjHHMsRXC9EUT9hTFMo). ⛔ Not a claim. Dedupe: search_issues on this repo for "packageless save inherits phantom package binding" and "per-item publish uninstalled package publishes draft" found #26708 (the parent) and closed neighbours (#23291, #23657, #24547), none of which covers either door.

Symptom

After #26708 (PR #26920), a save or a publish-drafts NAMING an uninstalled package id is refused. Two doors still write or publish under such an id. Both reach only rows written before that change, on a database written by an earlier main:

  1. A save naming no package inherits the phantom binding. PUT /api/v1/meta/dashboard/NAME (no ?package=), on an item whose active row is bound to an uninstalled id, answers 200 and keeps package = that id. The inherit rule is SqlDriver org auto-scope makes SysMetadataRepository.listDrafts blind to env-wide drafts (organization_id IS NULL ∧ injected org = always empty); mode=draft saves drop package_id #11087's.
  2. The per-item publish publishes a phantom-bound draft. POST /api/v1/meta/dashboard/NAME/publish?package=ID, with ID not installed, answers 200 and serves the draft live. POST /packages/ID/publish-drafts on the same id now answers 404.

Wanted

The per-item publish refuses an uninstalled named base the way publish-drafts now does: one rule, uninstalledNamedBaseRefusal / packageIsUnknown, ⛔ no second copy. For the inherit arm, triage decides whether an inherited phantom binding is refused or dropped to package-less, given #11087. ⛔ Existing phantom rows are not migrated or deleted (#26708's ruling); discard-drafts still removes them.

    Claim: PM loop round 4 · card thread · lane refill under the shared cap of 4
    Session: session_0186vfjHHMsRXC9EUT9hTFMo (the seat); the card thread is project thread cmsg_01TenzsRopZj4jMbvjX8uz1XA5xtdrvS2hp5TUtrhbCBWH
    Account: os-project-manager (the seat's linked user; the card's assignee)
    Branch: claude/project-thread-66cy4b (the card thread's harness-pinned branch; it names no issue, so this claim is the identity record)
    Worktree: the card thread's own container checkout
    Domain: domain:server
    Seat: domain:server#2
    Ruling-ref: triage 6454567658 (p2: the per-item publish?package=ID refuses an uninstalled named base with the one rule publish-drafts uses, uninstalledNamedBaseRefusal / packageIsUnknown, ⛔ no second copy; the inherit arm leans refuse, naming the id and the way out, after measuring that a refusal does not strand a published phantom row, else it is handed back as a decision; ⛔ no migration or deletion of phantom rows)
    File surface: the per-item publish and the package-less save paths in packages/metadata-protocol/** and their REST doors in packages/rest/** (a moved module only where the #25467 split series put a body they reach), their tests and the fixtures that save into an uninstalled id, and a changeset per package. ⛔ No packages/spec/**, ⛔ no new error code, ⛔ no second copy of the refusal, ⛔ no edit before PR #26920 has merged
    Container & model: XS, mode:thread, default model and effort (set at thread open)
    Clause-②: yes (narrowing) (per triage: two 200s become refusals; the dev re-measures and declares the arm, with the Skills-docs: line)
    Metadata-protocol: none
    Responsibility: metadata-protocol named-base rule on the per-item publish and the inherited binding
    Thread-read: 6454567658
    Premise: holds (read 2026-10-28T01:28Z at origin/main 7eb613c3: card open, unassigned, pm:queue with its triage line; PR #26920 ACCEPTed and in the merge queue); the dev re-measures it first, and a refutation is a premise_still_valid: false hand-back
    Resume-from: none — fresh from origin/main once PR #26920 has merged
    Serial constraints cleared: yes — start gate on PR #26920's merge; the dev re-measures open PRs on the file surface before the first edit and before pr_create

    State: pm:queue → pm:dispatched, assigned to os-project-manager, in this act.

    PR #27084 merged at 2026-10-28T06:03:43Z. The merge queue landed it as 6845035c6b on main, head 6135db9b (Fixes #26921; ACCEPT 6461156816; Clause-②: yes (narrowing), dogfood run on 16162380). GitHub closed the card as completed.

    origin/main by content packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts uninstalledNamedBaseRefusal takes how: { verb, inherited }
    • Landed: rows already bound to a package that is not installed (written before fix(metadata-protocol,runtime,app-shell)!: refuse a save or draft publish naming a package that is not installed #26920) can no longer be extended or published. A package-less save that would inherit that binding, and the per-item publish (with or without ?package=), both answer 422 WRITABLE_PACKAGE_REQUIRED. The sentence names the real ways out: create the package, or delete or discard the bound rows.
    • Unchanged: such rows can still be deleted and their drafts discarded, and become editable again once the package is created. A save that names an installed package, and package-less saves over unbound rows, are unchanged. Nothing is migrated or deleted.
    • Noted: Studio shows "Package not found" for a phantom id, so the ways out are REST or SDK acts.
