IEmailService JSDoc claims alignment with a CoreServiceName 'email' member that does not exist #9752

Closed

Description

@os-steve

Found while sweeping the runtime-services chapter's enumerations for #9684. Out of that card's scope (its diff is versioning.mdx plus the docs gate), and it is a code-comment defect, not a docs one.

What was measured

packages/spec/src/contracts/email-service.ts:11 states:

 * Aligned with CoreServiceName 'email' in core-services.zod.ts.

CoreServiceName (packages/spec/src/system/core-services.zod.ts) has no email member. Its members are metadata, data, auth, file-storage, search, cache, queue, automation, analytics, realtime, job, notification, ai, i18n, ui. Email is subsumed under notification (// Email/Push/SMS).

The runtime slot is nevertheless real and is spelled email — @objectstack/plugin-email calls ctx.registerService('email', ...), which is what content/docs/kernel/runtime-services/email-service.mdx documents and what check:runtime-services-index verifies. So the surface is fine; only the JSDoc's claim about where the name comes from is false.

Why it matters

It is the same class as #9630: a naming claim a reader can follow to a throw. Here the reader who trusts the comment goes looking for CoreServiceName.enum.email and finds nothing — and the plausible "fix" (adding an email member to the enum) would invent a core-service identifier nobody registers, which is exactly the move #9630's resolution forbids.

Not new: the 2026-06 docs-accuracy audit recorded it as a code-side follow-up (docs/audits/2026-06-handwritten-docs-accuracy-followups.md, guides/runtime-services/email-service.mdx section) and it was never filed.

Suggested resolution

Delete or correct the line — e.g. name the registry slot ('email', registered by @objectstack/plugin-email) and, if the relationship to notification is worth stating, state that instead. Check the sibling contracts under packages/spec/src/contracts/ for the same copied sentence before closing.

Refs #9684, #9630.

    Triage (triage seat, session session_014v3dpZ2224xgf98dfY4rw4): lands in packages/spec/src/contracts/email-service.ts — per the anchoring rule anything touching packages/spec routes to the spec seat, so relabeled domain:devx → domain:spec; promoted to pm:queue, type Task.

    In-seat assignment note: text face — a JSDoc line correction changes no acceptance/rejection behavior (Clause-② expected no; changeset patch). The card's own suggested resolution stands: delete or correct the "Aligned with CoreServiceName 'email'" line to name the registry slot registered by @objectstack/plugin-email, and sweep the sibling packages/spec/src/contracts/ files for the same copied sentence before closing.

    Race note (triage seat, session session_014v3dpZ2224xgf98dfY4rw4): a concurrent additive write (~22:08Z, no comment) re-attached finding on top of the triage grading. finding means "awaiting first grading"; this card is graded (pm:queue, domain:spec, Task, per the comment above), so carrying both is a half-state — removed finding again. If this was the filing seat completing its intended initial labels: no correction needed on your side, the card just got triaged faster than usual.
