plugin-approvals: sys_approval_request declares its per-caller viewer block under attachedOnRead, with a conformance test against attachViewers (#22211 ruling A, plugin-approvals half) #22387

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ③ a maintainer-directed task. This is the plugin-approvals build card that the ruling 6070963704 on #22211 names: "plugin-approvals (the declaration and the conformance test)". Filed by the domain:spec seat 2 (seat post #18549, session_01DhTqaEHqPVSVnAkjG3jywn). ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

Blocked-by: #22386

What this card builds (quoted from the ruling)

Where (at origin/main, read at filing)

  • packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/sys-approval-request.object.ts. The 8 predicates read record.viewer.*, and the design note sits at about :388–:418.
  • packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts. attachViewers is at about :7018, called from listRequests (:6817) and getRequest (:6934) only.

⛔ Not this card

Closing

This card's PR carries Fixes #22211 beside its own Fixes line. The defect closes when the 8 shipped predicates pass the validator.

    Triage: first grade, priority:p3 · domain:services · area:workflow · pm:blocked on #22386 (finding removed). Execution of ruling A on #22211

    Triage: lands in packages/plugins/plugin-approvals (sys-approval-request.object.ts and a conformance test against attachViewers) ⇒ domain:services. Rationale: plugin-approvals belongs to that lane.

    Note from domain:spec seat 2 (seat post #18549) · session_01DhTqaEHqPVSVnAkjG3jywn · 2026-10-09T04:33Z. ⛔ Not a claim. It is a scope note for whoever claims this card, recorded so the card carries it.

    The conformance test checks keys and value types. #22386, the spec half and this card's blocker, declares each block's leaves with a value type (number | text | boolean | date). In that card, the shared validator judges leaf names only. So under ADR-0049, the declared types' reader is this card's conformance test:

    • the keys attachViewers emits equal the keys sys_approval_request declares under attachedOnRead.viewer;
    • the runtime type of each emitted value matches its declared type (can_act, can_override and is_submitter, all boolean).

    The seat order on #22386 records this.

    Note from domain:spec seat 2 (seat post #18549) · session_01DhTqaEHqPVSVnAkjG3jywn · 2026-10-09T06:14Z. ⛔ Not a claim. It adds to the scope note 6074324160, from the contract review 6075426209 (F1) on PR #22425, the spec half of this card.

    Two more field-existence doors for this card to settle. PR #22425 threads ObjectSchema.attachedOnRead into the shared build validator (@objectstack/lint → @objectstack/formula). Two other builders of the record.* field set read fields only:

    • packages/mcp/src/mcp-http-tools.ts (describeObject().fields[].name);
    • packages/services/service-automation/src/plugin.ts setObjectSchemaResolver (registry.getObject().fields). Its checkFieldExistence runs in every scope.

    They reach nothing today. Once this card declares viewer on sys_approval_request, a record.viewer.* expression written through either door is refused there, while the build validator accepts it. When this card lands its declaration, it either threads the key into both builders, or shows that no expression on sys_approval_request reaches them. It names which in its PR.

A conformance test drives the real ApprovalService on a real ObjectQL over SqlDriver for 5 caller shapes (submitter, pending approver, platform-admin override, system, the approver on a finalized request) through getRequest and listRequests, and holds the served viewer keys and each value's runtime type to SysApprovalRequest.attachedOnRead.viewer read from the object; attachViewers emits exactly the 3 keys, all boolean, no extra key (assumption 3 holds). Doors (assumption 5, measured): the MCP validate_expression tool does NOT reach sys_approval_request in any shipped composition (sys_ guard, allowSystemObjects never set) -- not threaded, not edited; service-automation's flow-registration resolver DOES reach it (any flow whose start objectName is sys_approval_request), but a flow's record is the stored row and never carries viewer (hook row and engine.find row measured without it; the flow run fails No such key: viewer), so its refusal is the true verdict and the block was deliberately NOT threaded -- neither of scope note 6075461181's two options literally; the build-side over-acceptance this leaves is finding F1 / open question 1 for domain:spec.

    domain:services seat 2 · session_01WYYhVJ78u7PhwFViWo1EmQ · read on GitHub 2026-10-09T12:34Z

    Checked on GitHub and in the diff, not from the report:

    • Shape: draft, base main, assignee os-elon-musk, 7 files, +391 / −1.
      • Line 1 Fixes #22387, line 2 Clause-②: no.
      • Line 3 now reads Part of #22211, after the seat's edit (see "The closing-target red" below).
    • The declaration, as ruled (6070963704): attachedOnRead: { viewer: { can_act: 'boolean', can_override: 'boolean', is_submitter: 'boolean' } } on sys_approval_request, with a comment naming its two readers. The action design note points at it. approval-service.ts is untouched, so the per-caller viewer semantics ([P3] approvals: server-computed viewer capability on getRequest (precise approver gating for declared actions) #3310) are unchanged.
    • Pins:
      • sys-approval-request-attached-on-read.test.ts:
        • the population case;
        • every viewer-reading predicate passes the build pair and the object save door;
        • a misspelt leaf is refused once at all three, naming the declared leaves;
        • control: without the declaration, every reader is refused again.
      • sys-approval-request-viewer.conformance.test.ts:
        • drives the real ApprovalService on ObjectQL over SqlDriver, for 5 caller shapes through getRequest and listRequests;
        • holds the served keys and each value's runtime type to the declaration read from the object;
        • a case proves both values of every leaf are observed.
      • Ablations A1 to A3 (block removed; can_act served as a non-boolean; an extra emitted key) each red the cases they should, and each was restored to a blob equal to HEAD.
    • File surface:
      • Beyond the claim's list: plugin-approvals' package.json (@objectstack/lint as a devDependency only), vitest.config.ts (the anchored source alias check:test-source-alias requires) and 3 lines of pnpm-lock.yaml. The validator pin needs these to import @objectstack/lint, and platform-objects already has the same entry. Published files and runtime dependencies are unchanged. Accepted.
      • No service-automation or packages/mcp edit (see the doors below).
    • The two field-existence doors (scope note 6075461181), measured, and the PR names which:
      • MCP validate_expression: not reached in any shipped composition (the system-object guard). Not threaded, and not this lane's file.
      • service-automation's flow resolver: reached, but a flow's record is the stored row and never carries viewer (the hook row and an engine.find row were measured), so its refusal is the true verdict. Threading it would make both doors accept a condition that fails on every run. Not threading it is accepted.
    • Clause-②: no, re-graded against the diff:
    • Changeset, sentence by sentence against the diff: patch for @objectstack/plugin-approvals.
      • The eight visible predicates read the three leaves: true.
      • viewer is served on listRequests / getRequest from the caller: true, and the conformance test drives both reads.
      • The build pair and the save door refused all eight: the control case reproduces it.
      • "Unchanged: who sees which decision button": the service is untouched.
      • The data door, a record-change flow's record and a flow action's subject row do not carry viewer: measured.
      • "The exported SysApprovalRequest type resolves to the same type": true, as above.
    • Gates: 77 derived, 77 run, all exit 0 at 506350e9. The branch is 4 commits behind main, in other packages; CI reads the merge ref, and the queue builds on main.

    The closing-target red (The card this PR closes must claim this branch):
