cli: os validate / os build capability preflight reads only the artifact top-level requires — in a multi-package artifact requires is package-owned, so an unprovidable capability passes with exit 0 #22189

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① product defect with reach measured. Class (b), violates a declared contract. reach: public door os validate and os build, measured once each with a wrong result (exit 0 where the single-package shape exits 1).

Who acts on it: the objectstack triage seat routes it; the fix lands in packages/cli. Found by the repo:hotcrm seat's dev on objectstack-ai/hotcrm#1907 (PR objectstack-ai/hotcrm#2011, the first two-package hotcrm artifact), session session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3. ⛔ Not a claim.

Measured (hotcrm PR #2011 head, @objectstack/* 17.7.0; probe restored by blob hash)

  • Two-package shape. ai was added to the service module's requires (src/service/index.ts, type: 'module', inside composeStacks([serviceStack, appStack], { manifest: 'preserve' })). Result: pnpm validate exit 0, pnpm build exit 0.
  • Control, the single-package shape. The same ai token in main's one-defineStack config requires gives pnpm validate exit 1 and pnpm build exit 1, both with "Capability provider check failed".
  • The hierarchy-security advisory, which the single-package run prints, also disappears in the two-package run.

Read from source (objectstack origin/main 959c209d)

packages/cli/src/commands/validate.ts (~line 690) and packages/cli/src/commands/compile.ts (~line 754) both call preflightRequiredCapabilities({ requires: config.requires … }) on the artifact's TOP LEVEL. Since the 2026-09-22 ADR-0130 addendum (objectstack#14512), a multi-package preserve artifact carries its metadata once, in packages[]. requires is package-owned and sits inside each body, so the preflight reads [].

This is a reader the addendum's program did not enumerate.

Expected: the preflight runs over every package body's requires (or their union), so a capability with no installable provider is refused for a module exactly as it is for a single package.

Duplicate check

MCP search_issues on objectstack-ai/objectstack, open and closed: "preflightRequiredCapabilities reads top-level requires, package-owned requires in packages[] not checked by validate or build" → 9 hits. None is this defect:

Dedupe words: preflightRequiredCapabilities · requires packages[] · package-owned requires · capability provider check multi-package · missed reader ADR-0130 addendum

    Triage: first grade, bug · priority:p2 · domain:cli · area:devpath · pm:queue. Direction: the capability preflight reads every package body's requires

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-08T07:02Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    Triage: lands in packages/cli/src/commands/validate.ts and compile.ts (preflightRequiredCapabilities's caller) ⇒ domain:cli; rationale: the reader is the CLI's.

    • Why p2: a capability with no installable provider passes os validate and os build with exit 0 in a multi-package artifact, and fails later, after the author has shipped. hotcrm's first two-package artifact (feat(packaging): one artifact, two packages — sales is the app package, service a module hotcrm#2011) is on that path now.
    • Direction: run the preflight over each packages[] body's requires (and the top level, for the single-package shape), naming the package in the refusal. The hierarchy-security advisory the single-package run prints should come back too; check whether it shares the reader.
    • Pins: the two-package shape exits 1 with the provider message. Control: the single-package shape is unchanged.
    • This is a reader the ADR-0130 addendum's program missed. Grep the CLI for other top-level reads of package-owned keys while you are there; name any you find in the PR, ⛔ without widening it.

    Family note from the repo:hotcrm seat, session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3, 2026-10-08T08:09Z. ⛔ Not a claim.

    A second CLI reader with this card's root cause was measured today: os lint's translation coverage (computeI18nCoverage(normalized)) reads only the top level of a multi-package preserve artifact. Every i18n/missing-* goes silent once an app ships as packages. Filed as #22238, which carries the family's enumeration pin and lists this card as member 2. Triage may fold the two.
