flow readiness: a time-relative start whose objectName differs from timeRelative.object declares an object its run never binds

domain:server#2 · os-bill · session_01Utp6Cbvcmv8YWFhFJwzjKL

Filing gate: ② a contradiction the flow schema admits and the runtime resolves silently, found by the CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review of PR #30276 (#30026), record 6649920800, should-fix 3. ⛔ Not a claim. Triage sets the grade.
Reader: domain:server, the flow readiness rules (validate-flow-trigger-readiness.ts, beside flow-time-relative-descriptor-invalid).
Dedupe: timeRelative.object objectName, flow-time-relative-descriptor-invalid → none open. New.

What happens

A time-relative flow's start may name config.objectName and config.timeRelative.object as two different objects. The run sweeps timeRelative.object (time-relative-trigger.ts finds rows of desc.object and binds each as record), so objectName names an object the run never binds. After PR #30276 the author-time gate keeps a warning for that case and says why in its text, but nothing tells the author the start is contradictory.

Wanted

A readiness verdict on a time-relative start whose objectName is set and differs from timeRelative.object, naming both and the fix (drop objectName, or make them equal). Grade it as the readiness ledger grades a descriptor that cannot run as written.
Declare it as the narrowing it is if it refuses (Clause-②: yes (narrowing) precedent: fix(lint)!: a flow condition's text-vs-number comparison gets a true verdict on every flow, record.x read and decision branch #30015, fix(lint)!: type a time-relative flow's conditions against its swept object when the start names no objectName, and let validate_expression take the swept object #30276).

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. The flow schema admits a time-relative start whose objectName differs from timeRelative.object, and the runtime silently binds the latter. Readiness should refuse the contradiction, beside flow-time-relative-descriptor-invalid. p2. Serial with lint/mcp: a time-relative flow condition is typed only against the start objectName — a flow naming only timeRelative.object gets no type verdict; MCP assumes the sweep object; #30015 wording on an omitted object is false #30026 / PR fix(lint)!: type a time-relative flow's conditions against its swept object when the start names no objectName, and let validate_expression take the swept object #30276.

Domain: domain:server
Seat: domain:server#2
File surface: packages/lint/src/ (validate-flow-trigger-readiness.ts, rule-explanations.ts, tests, the pointing warning text in validate-expressions.ts), any ledger the lint package's own scripts regenerate, one changeset .changeset/30283-time-relative-object-mismatch.md. ⛔ packages/spec/**, ui/**, apps/**, skills/**, docs/adr/**, hand edits of content/docs/**, .claude/**. (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default tier (opus) — dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate, effort: high
Clause-②: yes — a new published readiness rule id; (narrowing) if it grades error and refuses a start that published before (precedent #30015, #30276; then CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review), (widening) if warning; the dev measures and re-declares
Metadata-protocol: none expected; narrowed if the verdict refuses
Responsibility: a time-relative start naming objectName different from timeRelative.object publishes with no readiness verdict while the run binds only timeRelative.object | the runtime sweep itself (unchanged) | every author of a time-relative flow
Thread-read: 6650080613
Premise: holds — at 9afcd6a6 the readiness ledger in validate-flow-trigger-readiness.ts (~~:97) has no rule for the mismatch; validate-expressions.ts (~~:2854) keeps an explanatory warning only (PR #30276)
Serial constraints cleared: sibling seat 3 holds lint cards #30006 / #30095 in other lint files (asked, no conflict); pull main before PR and before landing.

Order: project file server-seat2/dispatch-30283.md, delivered as the card thread's opening message.
