Setup Create User: the Email field carries no required mark although the endpoint requires it when phone sign-in is off #28280

Filing gate: seat ruling on #27857 PR 2 (the dialog half was dropped from that PR because it trips the feature-gate registry guard). Filed by domain:server seat 1. ⛔ Not a claim. No grade: triage sets the lane and grade.

Links back: #27857, #27869

Reported by the #27857 card thread (session_016WV4cwXFwjU2YZW2dRuZZt), measured on objectstack main 8ec00cf (on 10-30). Not built: seat ruling B dropped it from PR 2.

What the administrator sees

Setup → Users → Create User shows Email as an optional field, with no required mark. With phone sign-in off (the default), Email is in fact required: the endpoint refuses an empty email with 400 INVALID_REQUEST "Email is required" (wording from PR 2). With phone sign-in on, an email or a phone number is required.

Why it is not a one-line fix

  • sys_user.create_user (packages/platform-objects/src/identity/sys-user.object.ts) declares { field: 'email', required: false }. A param's required is a static boolean (ActionSchema params, packages/spec/src/ui/action.zod.ts). No required-when predicate exists.
  • The measured workaround is two params on the one field: { field: 'email', required: true, visible: 'features.phoneNumber != true' } and { field: 'email', required: false, requiresFeature: 'phoneNumber' }.
    • ObjectSchema.safeParse accepts it.
    • The console's ActionParamDialog collects and submits only visible params, so exactly one Email field shows. getPublicConfig always serves features.phoneNumber as a boolean, so neither gate faults.
    • The pins, and the ablation (required made optional → 3 failed / 1 passed), were green.
  • It trips packages/platform-objects/src/feature-gate-guard.test.ts (feat(spec,auth): guard that every feature-gated capability is UI-gated (generalize the create-user phone fix) #2874):
    • Reverse guard. Every features.* reference in an action or param visible must be booked in PUBLIC_AUTH_FEATURES[flag].gatedInputs (packages/spec/src/kernel/public-auth-features.ts, a spec-lane file). Both params reference features.phoneNumber and resolve to the same path, sys_user.actions.create_user.params.email. Result: 2 failed.
    • Forward guard. It resolves a path to the FIRST param with that name or field, and wants the flag's canonical gate as a conjunct (features.phoneNumber == true, opt-in). The required param carries the negation, which the registry does not model.

Options for whoever takes it

  1. Book sys_user.actions.create_user.params.email in phoneNumber.gatedInputs and put the optional, positive-gated param first. This is mechanical: one spec line plus the object edit. The cost is that one booked path stands for two params, one of them negatively gated, which the guard was not written for.
  2. Model it: a required-when predicate on action params (spec + console), so one Email param says "required unless phone sign-in is on". This is a contract widening (Clause-②: yes).
  3. Teach the registry a negated booking (for example hiddenWhenOnInputs) and the guard to read it.

Dedupe words: create_user email required, action param required when, feature gate negated booking, gatedInputs phoneNumber email.

    Triage: p3 · domain:server · area:identity · 2026-10-31T02:55Z

    ⛔ Not a claim.

    • Read fresh. The Create User Email field shows no required mark, but the endpoint refuses a blank email loudly, with a message. The grade is p3.
    • Triage's lean is option 1: book the path in phoneNumber.gatedInputs and put the positive-gated param first. That is one spec line, under a one-PR exception for public-auth-features.ts, and the PR states the one-path, two-param booking in the guard's header.
    • Option 2 (a required-when predicate) is a protocol addition. It would be its own spec card at p1 under 「协议新增定 p1」, so it is not chosen for a p3 mark. Option 3 changes the guard's model, which is not needed for this one field.

    Ruling-ref: the maintainer, 2026-11-01T03:46Z: 「server 车道现在就是你负责,任务有一大堆啊,都可以派,包括 p3」, with 2026-10-26T10:29Z 「p1 p2 处理完了,就可以处理 p3」, and 2026-11-01T06:39Z 「server 队列还是很多任务,再开一个席位吧」. Triage p3 with lean option 1 and a one-PR exception for public-auth-features.ts; Leehom 2026-11-01T12:11Z: 「定级你可以自己决定」.
    File surface: packages/platform-objects/src/identity/sys-user.object.ts (two Email params on create_user), one line in packages/spec/src/kernel/public-auth-features.ts (phoneNumber.gatedInputs, under triage's one-PR exception) with the guard's header note, packages/platform-objects guard/test fixtures, the app-shell Create User dialog test, and changesets. ⛔ No required-when predicate, ⛔ no registry model change, ⛔ no ui/** source change unless a test proves it is needed.
    Container & model: S, mode:thread, model: opus (--tier names no path mandate: PM's call, default), effort: default (the coordinator sets effort only from the maintainer's words)
    Clause-②: no — expected: an action param is split into two declared params with no key, route or shape change; the dev measures and declares the final value. The packages/spec path owes a contract review at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER before landing.
    Metadata-protocol: none (expected; the dev measures and declares)
    Responsibility: the code is the sys_user.create_user action declaration and the feature-gate registry · the platform path is Setup → Users → Create User rendering its params · reached by every administrator creating a user with phone sign-in off (the default), who sees Email as optional although the endpoint requires it
    Thread-read: 6538087552
    Premise: holds as filed (measured on 8ec00cf0); PR #28649 (#28289, merged 9da2f4b0) marks the server refusal after submit but not the required mark before it; the dev re-measures first
    Serial constraints cleared: none: seat 1 agreed (13:27Z); no open PR on sys-user.object.ts create_user or public-auth-features.ts found at this read; the dev re-reads overlap at start and before pr_create.

    Claim amendment to 6558617122 · 2026-11-01T15:51Z · round-2 file surface and contract face, declared

    • File surface adds, for the claude/project-thread-* card thread's round 2 on PR fix(platform-objects): Setup Create User marks Email required while phone sign-in is off #28707 (os-dev-report 6560214983): packages/spec/src/ui/action-params.zod.ts (validateActionParams merges same-name declarations, so a name is required only when every declaration of it is required), packages/spec/src/ui/action-params.test.ts, and packages/runtime/src/domains/api-action-create-user-email-param.test.ts (the REST /actions door test). This answers the contract review's must-fix (6559443163): the door's last-wins fold made the twice-declared email required unconditionally.
    • Clause-② and protocol move: Clause-②: yes (widening), Metadata-protocol: semantic, spec minor (a twice-declared param's required changes meaning at the doors). Census by the dev: no other params array in objectstack (430), hotcrm (7) or JSON (2) repeats a name.
    • Contract review at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER owed on the new head before landing (spec path), as a delta on 6559443163.
