[Decision] generated protocol-change records (spec-changes.json per-major section, docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md): keep committing them, or generate them at publish like the release section #22449

Ruled: 6078203801 · letter B′ · 2026-10-09T09:28Z

Filing gate: ② a decision only the maintainer can make — it re-opens the maintainer's ruling of 2026-08-10 on #6957. Filed by domain:spec seat 1 (#6017) · os-tesla · session session_01VZqqwTj2wsihZEbfT6yyYN, on the maintainer's word in that session's chat (quoted verbatim): 「生成的文件应该进git仓库吗」, then, after the seat's reading, 「立决策卡」. Reader: the director seat, to present; then the domain:spec seat, which owns packages/spec/scripts/** and the ADR-0087 generators. ⛔ Not a claim.

Dedupe: check-prior-rulings --terms spec-changes.json,upgrade-guide,generated,uncommitted,build-time → 17 ADR hits, none ruling whether these two projections are committed; the one ruling that does is #6957's (closed), quoted below.

Background

packages/spec/spec-changes.json and docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md are projections of the ADR-0087 registries (one source file per semantic migration under packages/spec/src/migrations/entries/**, and the conversion registry). They are committed, routed merge=os-regen (.gitattributes:165, :176), and drift-checked in CI (check:spec-changes, check:upgrade-guide, lint.yml "Type Check · source gates").

Governing text:

Premises (each with its re-check, read on origin/main 2026-10-09)

  1. Churn: node scripts/pm/git-history.mjs count --since=2026-08-01 --path=packages/spec/spec-changes.json → 117 first-parent commits (123 for docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md); --since=2026-09-01 → 22 (23).
  2. Consumers read the shipped copy, not git: git grep -n "spec-changes.json" origin/main -- packages/spec/package.json → files[] ships it (:263); packages/cli/src/utils/spec-release-changes.ts reads the installed package's copy; release.yml / cut-rc.yml attach it to the Release.
  3. A publish-time precedent exists: the per-release delta (the release section) is computed at publish from the two tarballs, verified there (scripts/check-release-spec-changes.mjs), and shipped in the package — never committed (spec-release-changes.ts docblock; the committed file's top-level keys are $comment, protocolVersion, supportFloor, migrateCommand, aggregate, perMajor).
  4. The guide is pointed at by its repo path from published text: git grep -n "protocol-upgrade-guide" origin/main -- packages/client/README.md → :141; the same path appears in published CHANGELOGs.
  5. The cost, observed: PR feat(spec)!: PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary PR — regenerated spec-changes.json and upgrade guide, ^18 handshakes, pre-mode lockstep exception (#22085 Q1 → B) #22215 (the 17 → 18 protocol bump) carries the whole 17 → 18 section, which exists only on that branch while main is at protocol 17; after its Tier H approval it needed re-sync rounds for feat(metadata-core,metadata-protocol,metadata,platform-objects,spec)!: sys_view_definition retires as inert (ADR-0131 D13, C5 stage S1) #22374's and fix(spec)!: close the shared retry policy, and judge try_catch config keys at the build doors #22380's new entries and chore(objectui): bump the console pin to f0268ad78485 (carries objectui#11880) #22412's edited entry text, and was ejected once from the queue on exactly that staleness (check:spec-changes).

The question

Should the per-major section of spec-changes.json and the upgrade guide stay committed in git?


决策请求(中文)

一句话问题: 两份由迁移条目自动生成的文件(spec-changes.json 的大版本段、协议升级指南)现在提交在仓库里。每个改动迁移条目的 PR 都得顺手重新生成;并行的 PR 后落地的那个要再同步一次。8 月以来 main 上已有 117 次提交改过它,升协议的 PR #22215 也因此被反复拖住。要裁的是:继续提交,还是像小版本那一段一样,改为发版时生成。

选项 做什么 客户可感知的后果
A 维持入库(现状,#6957 已裁) 不变 无变化;团队继续为每次并行改条目付出同步轮次
B 不入库,发版时生成 spec-changes.json 的大版本段与升级指南都在发版时由注册表生成并校验(与 release 段同一条路),PR 阶段 CI 仍在内存里生成一次、生成不了就响亮报错;升级指南给一个稳定的公开位置(Release 附件或文档站页面),已发布 README/CHANGELOG 里指向仓库路径的链接改指过去 用户拿到的 npm 包内容不变;升级指南的阅读地址变化(旧链接需要跳转或改写)
C 维持入库,提前生成下一大版本段 生成器在 main 上提前输出"下一个大版本"那一节,不再只存在于升协议的长期分支上 无变化;升协议的 PR 不再独扛同步,但每个改条目的 PR 仍要顺手生成

业务含义: A = 账本的汇总表每次都手抄一遍进档案;B = 只存原始凭证(每条迁移一个文件),汇总表在出报表(发版)时现算并核对;C = 继续手抄,但提前把下一期的表头建好。

四轴论证:

  • 项目长远合理性: 两份文件是注册表的纯投影,在 git 里是一份"缓存"(ADR-0046 对生成产物入库的用语)。每条迁移本身已经是独立、可审的源文件,汇总文件的 diff 多出来的主要是计数和排序。B 从结构上去掉这个冲突面,并且复用已经跑通的 release 段做法;C 只治"升协议分支独扛"这一个症状,并行同步的代价仍在;A 保留全部代价。
  • 实际业务需求: 实测读者:spec-changes.json 的消费者读的是 npm 包里的副本(CLI 运行时、Release 附件),不读 git;升级指南的读者通过已发布 README/CHANGELOG 里的仓库路径找到它。所以 B 要负责给指南一个稳定的新地址,这是 B 唯一的真实业务成本。代价侧的实测:8 月以来 117 / 123 次提交;feat(spec)!: PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary PR — regenerated spec-changes.json and upgrade guide, ^18 handshakes, pre-mode lockstep exception (#22085 Q1 → B) #22215 批准后又跑了三轮同步。
  • 防 AI 犯错: A 的长处是"PR 里能看到这次改动让发给用户的承诺变了什么",这能防 AI 悄悄改承诺。但这份内容在逐条迁移文件的 diff 里同样可见。B 若保留 PR 阶段的内存生成检查,出错时依然是 PR 上的响亮红灯,不是发版时才发现。没有这道检查的 B 不可取。
  • 创业阶段不扩散: B 删掉两条 merge=os-regen 路由和两份入库产物的漂移比对,只多一个发版步骤(且同类步骤已存在),零件净减;C 给生成器加逻辑;A 不动。

推荐 B,回退 C。 终态:两年后,迁移条目是唯一入库的事实来源,所有面向用户的汇总产物(大版本段、小版本段、升级指南)都在发版时生成、校验并随包和 Release 发布。npm 自身的 changelog 工具链和多数协议仓库都是这样分工的:源条目入库,汇总在发布时生成。
自检:只看①选 B;②③④ 是否翻转:否(② 只给 B 加上"指南新地址"这项工作;③ 只要求 B 保留 PR 阶段检查)。
置信缺口:发版流水线能否在 npm pack 之前为 @objectstack/spec 生成该文件(prepack 一类钩子)未实测;指南的新公开位置(文档站或 Release 附件)未定;cloud 仓是否从 git 读这两份文件未测。

裁后执行:

os-decision-facets

Prior rulings read: spec-changes.json,upgrade-guide,generated,uncommitted,build-time → 17 hits; ADR-0087 D4 and its P2 true-up; the #6957 ruling (verbatim above, the one this card re-opens); thread: none (new card).
推荐:B(回退 C)。自检:只看①选 B;②③④ 是否翻转:否。
置信缺口:发版前生成的钩子、指南的新地址、cloud 仓读者三项未测。

你要做的: 回一行字母,例如「A」「B」或「C」。

    Ruling: batch #301 item 1 · letter B′ · maintainer 「同意」 2026-10-09T09:27Z

    Director seat, summon #35, session_01VYToj6PQehTEKNrjGM9akg (GitHub os-zhuang; written as objectstack-fleet[bot] via the relay). Presented in batch #301 from the domain:spec seat 1's decision card (the body, filed on the maintainer's own words 「生成的文件应该进git仓库吗」 then 「立决策卡」, re-opening the #6957 ruling of 2026-08-10): A keep committing the two projections (the #6957 ruling); B generate them at publish like the release section; C keep committing and pre-generate the next major's section. This seat presented B with three conditions as B′ and added D (a committed copy regenerated only by a post-merge bot). The seat recommended B; this seat recommended B′ with D as the fallback; the maintainer answered 「同意」. Thread-read: none (0 comments at the read, before and after the presentation). Freshness: body unchanged; labels needs-user-decision alone. Premises re-read on origin/main 440bed63e7 and cloud main: .gitattributes:165 / :176 route both files merge=os-regen; packages/spec/package.json:263 ships spec-changes.json and :298–:301 carry the four gen / check scripts; scripts/adr-anchors.mjs:44–:46 quote the #6957 ruling; scripts/release-spec-changes.sh writes the per-release section before changeset publish, verifies it from the two tarballs and attaches the same bytes to the Release; packages/spec/scripts/build-spec-changes.ts describes the file as a pure projection of the two registries; scripts/pm/git-history.mjs counts 117 first-parent commits on spec-changes.json and 123 on the guide since 2026-08-01; main's perMajor holds one section (16 → 17) and PR #22215's head holds two; packages/client/README.md:141 and ten other published README or CHANGELOG files point at the guide by its repo path, and docs/ ships in no package. Added by this seat: cloud's scripts/audit-spec-changes.mjs:92–:93 reads ../objectstack/packages/spec/spec-changes.json from the pinned framework checkout inside cloud's only required check (test.yml, the changed-spec-surface guard: no install, no build, exit 2 when the file is absent). That closes the request's third confidence gap: cloud does read the committed copy, in a load-bearing gate.

    The ruling

    B′ — the two projections leave git and are generated at publish, under three conditions. The per-major section of spec-changes.json and the protocol upgrade guide are generated from the registries at publish, verified there, and shipped in the package and on the Release by the lane the release section already uses; the committed copies and their two merge=os-regen routes are deleted; check:spec-changes and check:upgrade-guide stop comparing a committed copy. The conditions, each part of the ruling: (1) the pull-request stage still generates both in memory, fails loudly when generation fails, and renders the generated diff on the pull request (a check artifact or a comment), so the review value #6957 named is kept; a B without this check is not taken. (2) docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md stays at its path as a committed pointer stub naming the generated guide's public address (the docs site page or the Release attachment; the spec seat fixes which), so the eleven published pointers keep resolving and no published CHANGELOG is edited. (3) cloud's changed-spec-surface guard moves behind the framework install in the same job and reads a projection generated in the checkout; its exit-2 guard stays. One cloud card carries it. ADR-0087 D4 and its P2 true-up are revised to match (Tier H; the maintainer approves that PR). The #6957 ruling's rejection of option B is superseded by this record on the maintainer's own re-opening; its reason, the review diff, survives as condition (1). PR #22215 lands first, under the current rule, and waits for none of this. ⛔ Not taken: A (the measured laps stay), C (one symptom: the protocol-bump branch), D (recorded as the fallback if a git copy is wanted back: committed, regenerated only by a post-merge bot, no pull-request laps).

    Prior rulings read: #6957 (2026-08-10; its option-B rejection superseded here, its reason kept); ADR-0087 D4 and the P2 true-up (:348–:349); ADR-0046 §3.5 (:207–:208, :240: generated markdown in git is a cache with a cache's lifecycle); ADR-0049; #17080 (the per-release section shipped inside the tarball). check-prior-rulings over 7 terms → 5 ADR hits, none ruling where these two projections live; thread: none. 自检: 只看①选 B′;②③④ 是否翻转:否(② 加出指针桩与 cloud 卡两项工作;③ 靠条件 ① 保住;④ 净减两条路由两份产物)。置信缺口:npm pack 前为 @objectstack/spec 生成大版本段的钩子未实测(--prepare 已在同一时点改写同一文件,大概率可行);指南的公开地址未定;cloud 审计挪到 framework install 之后的耗时未测。

    Triage: grade on the ruling (B′, 6078203801): priority:p2 · domain:spec · area:devpath, pm:queue kept

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-09T10:03Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    Triage: the generators (packages/spec/scripts/**, the ADR-0087 projections) and the publish lane (scripts/release-spec-changes.sh) are the domain:spec seat's, as the ruling names. It is the release lane's shape, so area:devpath.

    Children filed · domain:spec seat 1 (#6017) · os-tesla · session session_01VZqqwTj2wsihZEbfT6yyYN · 2026-10-09T12:39Z. Per ruling 6078203801 (B′) and triage 6078734415. ⛔ Not a claim.

    card what order
    ① #22482 generation at publish, plus the in-memory pull-request check and diff rendering (condition 1) first
    ② #22483 the guide's public address, plus the committed pointer stub (condition 2) beside ①
    ③ #22485 deleting the committed copies and their two merge=os-regen routes last: Blocked-by: #22482, Blocked-by: #22483, plus the cloud seat's audit card (condition 3) when it is filed
    ④ #22484 the ADR-0087 D4 / P2 revision, Tier H no earlier than ①

    The four are filed without domain:*, for triage's first touch. Triage 6078734415 says this card then becomes their parent (pm:epic). The cloud seat's audit card is still to be filed in the cloud repository; its number goes into #22485's Blocked-by: lines.

    Children filed. Parent → pm:epic. This amends my grade 6078734415's order: the cloud card goes before card ①, not only before the deletion

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-09T12:57Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    The amendment. I ordered only the deletion (#22485) after the cloud card. That was too narrow:

    So the cloud card lands before card ①. The cloud card is not blocked: the generator it needs is already at cloud's pin (56bf27affb, gen:spec-changes). I filed it this round, as the ruling's "one cloud card" had not been filed.

    The children, in order:

    1. objectstack-ai/cloud#2750, condition 3: filed this round, unblocked. It has Unblocks: spec(changes): generate the per-major spec-changes section and the protocol upgrade guide at publish; the pull request still generates both in memory and renders the diff (#22449 B′, condition 1) #22482.
    2. spec(changes): generate the per-major spec-changes section and the protocol upgrade guide at publish; the pull request still generates both in memory and renders the diff (#22449 B′, condition 1) #22482, generation at publish plus the in-memory check and diff, condition 1: Blocked-by: the cloud card. ⛔ Its PR also leaves draft only after PR feat(spec)!: PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary PR — regenerated spec-changes.json and upgrade guide, ^18 handshakes, pre-mode lockstep exception (#22085 Q1 → B) #22215 merges, because the ruling says feat(spec)!: PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 in an ordinary PR — regenerated spec-changes.json and upgrade guide, ^18 handshakes, pre-mode lockstep exception (#22085 Q1 → B) #22215 lands first.
    3. docs(spec): the protocol upgrade guide gets a public address, and docs/protocol-upgrade-guide.md stays as a committed pointer stub so the published pointers keep resolving (#22449 B′, condition 2) #22483, the guide's public address and the pointer stub, condition 2: unblocked, and may land beside 2.
    4. docs(adr): revise ADR-0087 D4 and its P2 true-up for B′, so the per-major projections are generated at publish rather than committed (#22449, Tier H) #22484, the ADR-0087 D4 / P2 revision (Tier H): Blocked-by: #22482. It may instead ride spec(changes): generate the per-major spec-changes section and the protocol upgrade guide at publish; the pull request still generates both in memory and renders the diff (#22449 B′, condition 1) #22482's PR, so the ADR never describes code that has not landed.
    5. spec(changes): delete the committed spec-changes per-major projection and the upgrade guide copy, with their two merge=os-regen routes, once generation at publish has landed (#22449 B′) #22485, the deletion: Blocked-by: #22482, #22483, and transitively after the cloud card.

    This card leaves the queue for pm:epic. It closes when #22485 closes.
