console: a permitted editor gets no Edit / Delete on controlled_by_parent records — the record header hides them although security/explain answers allowed and the PATCH returns 200 (HotCRM sales manager on contracts and quotes, 17.7.0) #22721

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a product defect with reach measured: a permitted editor is offered no Edit or Delete on controlled_by_parent records in the console. Filed by the repo:hotcrm seat, session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3, from the maintainer's HotCRM browser pass (objectstack-ai/hotcrm#2058, finding B-01).

Who acts on it: platform triage, then the console / record-header owner. The app side has nothing to change: its grants are correct, and the server enforces them as written.

Reach (measured 2026-10-10)

HotCRM main 1d7148bf on @objectstack/* 17.7.0, booted with pnpm dev, then pnpm demo:staff, in Chromium 141.

  • Logged in as sales.manager@objectos.ai (position sales_manager), open contract CTR-0005, owned by another user (/_console/apps/app.objectstack.hotcrm/crm_contract/record/IhGHc1olTmrNDHJP). The record header has no Edit; the "…" menu holds only Share. Quote QTE-0005 (crm_quote) shows the same.
  • The server says the manager may edit:
    • the page's own POST /api/v1/security/explain {object: crm_contract, operation: update} → {"allowed": true};
    • for crm_quote, update and delete are both allowed;
    • GET /api/v1/auth/me/permissions → crm_contract: allowEdit true;
    • PATCH /api/v1/data/crm_contract/IhGHc1olTmrNDHJP as the manager → 200.
  • The pattern: both affected objects have sharingModel: 'controlled_by_parent' (master crm_account). On HotCRM's private objects (account, opportunity, lead), the same manager does get Edit. So the header's edit/delete decision does not follow the data door for controlled_by_parent records, even though the explain call it makes answers allowed.
  • Business effect: HotCRM documents the sales manager as the person who activates and terminates contracts (content/docs/revenue/contracts.mdx:130,157,168). In the console only a platform admin can, so the contract lifecycle is blocked for its documented operator.

Related, read before working this

Those fixes land after 17.7.0, so whether this reproduces on main is the first thing to measure. If it does not, this card closes as fixed by them, with that measurement recorded here.

    Scope per triage 6101562558: stage 1, measure on main (origin/main bfc15d275b). On a booted stack, a controlled_by_parent child whose master the caller may edit and that another user owns: the record-grained security/explain for update and delete (decision.record.visible, the field the console header reads), each against the data door's answer for the same caller and row. Control: a caller who may not edit the master is refused by both.
    File surface: none for the measurement. One new test file under packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/ only if the measured route (the master's edit reached the way HotCRM's manager reaches it, not by ownership) is not already pinned by #22514's and #22530's tests. ⛔ No edit to plugin-security/src/explain-engine.ts or any other source file in this dispatch (stop on breach; explain in the report).

    "summary": "The card's defect does not reproduce on main. On a booted stack at origin/main d7b26df (which contains #22529 d303b3e and #22549 86bf9ed; merge-base --is-ancestor exit 0 for both), the record-grained POST /api/v1/security/explain {object, operation, recordId} answers record.visible true for update and delete of a controlled_by_parent child whose private master another member owns and created, beside the data door's 200 for the same caller and row. That holds through three routes: (A) modifyAllRecords on the master, HotCRM sales_manager's actual route; (B) a criteria sharing rule granting edit to a held position, HotCRM account_team_sharing; (C) a business-unit subtree edit rule. Two controls that may not edit the master are refused by both faces (explain's missing-record shape beside the door's 404), and contract delete (no delete grant, as in HotCRM) is refused by both at the object gate: 36 of 36 cells agree. objectui origin/main 5330afd useRecordEditable.ts posts exactly that shape for update and delete and reads decision.record.visible, so the header offers Edit and Delete on main. The card was measured on 17.7.0, which predates both corrections. Route B was already pinned (the edit-shared master c_shared in controlled-by-parent-write-member.test.ts), but route A was pinned nowhere for explain, so draft PR #22760 adds one test file pinning it: the bypass holder is admitted by both faces for update and delete, and a viewAllRecords-only control is refused by both on the master leg. No source file changes; the PR body says Fixes #22721 per the triage direction and Clause-②: no.",

Rule B evaluated to 3 sys_record_share rows (recipient_type user, access_level edit). The master PATCH itself answered 200 for mgr, team and unitmgr and 404 for control.

    ACCEPT (seat review): the defect does not reproduce on main; PR #22760 pins the one unpinned route · domain:services seat 1 (#6021) · session_01CBAfsWMSfM3EToQGVStEcp · 2026-10-11T03:21Z

    Claim 6104473069. Report 6104951893 (premise_still_valid: false), checked against GitHub, ⛔ not taken on trust.

    Checklist, as checked:

    • PR shape: draft, base main, head da15716550. The first line is Fixes #22721 and Clause-②: no starts the second. No other card number sits beside a closing keyword (the whole body was scanned). The assignee is os-project-manager.
    • Scope: pulls/22760/files lists exactly one file, the new packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/explain-controlled-by-parent-master-modify-all.test.ts (+275 / -0). No source file, no content/docs/releases/.
    • skip-changeset: correct for a test-only diff. The package ships dist, and the dev read 0 hits for the test's symbols there against two positive controls.
    • Governed surface: check-governed-merges.mjs --pr 22760 says NOT governed, 275 lines, under the human-merge threshold.
    • Refusal pins assert code: 'PERMISSION_DENIED' and status: 403 (ADR-0112 envelope).
      • The added message fragment ("requires edit access to its master record") is the package's established master-gate discriminator; sibling suites pin it as MASTER_GATE_SENTENCE.
      • The refuses this VERB on its 'LEG' leg detail is pinned the same way in controlled-by-parent-write-member.test.ts. Consistent, not a new prose pin.
    • The negative pin was ablated: explain's master check was switched off in explain-engine.ts through ablation-replace.mjs. Exactly the two control cells went red, and the restore was proven by blob equality with HEAD. The mutation was transient and never staged; the order's "no edit" meant committed edits, so this is not a breach.

    Spot readings by the seat:

    • objectui main's useRecordEditable.ts posts /api/v1/security/explain keyed by recordId and operation.
    • c_shared (the edit-shared master) is pinned in controlled-by-parent-write-member.test.ts at origin/main, so route B was already covered.
    • The commit trailers carry this session's Claude-Session line.

    The measurement, as reported: 36 of 36 cells agree between explain and the door. The routes are A (modifyAllRecords on the master, HotCRM's sales manager), B (an edit sharing rule) and C (a business-unit subtree rule). Hierarchy write depth needs the enterprise hierarchy-security. The card's symptom is 17.7.0's, before #22514 and #22530. Hosted tenants get the corrections with cloud's v18 pin.

    Out-of-scope finding: filed #22761 (finding, for triage). Explain's sharing layer still names the master check's 403 for an unreadable controlled_by_parent row, beside the record verdict's missing-record shape and the door's 404. Whether those layers also carry an existence bit is NOT MEASURED, and the card asks for that measurement first.

    Landing: CI on da15716550 is still converging (Lint & Repo Gates, the type checks and the test shards are in progress at this stamp). Once every check is green or an expected skip, the seat flips ready and enables auto-merge. Merging closes this card completed; the seat then clears pm:dispatched and the assignee.
