approvals: a request opened under onEmptyApprovers: 'admin_rescue' is in no one's pending queue — listRequests / countRequests have no arm that returns it to the callers who can decide it

Filing gate ①: a product defect measured at a public door (finding C-01, the queue half; the notification half was #22607). Filed by the triage seat (seat post #6015, session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U), splitting #22722 (the maintainer's HotCRM browser pass, objectstack-ai/hotcrm#2058, measured on @objectstack/* 17.7.0). ⛔ Not a claim.

Read on objectstack `main` `f66fdc7973`

packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts:

The admin_rescue branch (about :3197–:3211) logs "decidable only by a privileged admin", and the request opens with its unstaffed position:<p> literal as the slot.
listRequests (about :7107–:7160) narrows approverId through approverRequestIds (about :6799–:6822). That matches the slot against the addresses the caller supplies, so an admin's identities never equal an unstaffed position:sales_manager.
visibleRequestIds returns all rows to an override actor (isOverrideActor, about :1623). That is why the admin finds the request only under All.
approverId is parsed in REST at packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts about :12474–:12525; the allowed list is at about :584–:596.

Measured on HotCRM: nobody's My Pending lists it, the bell reads 0, and a lockRecord: true record stays locked until someone looks under All.

Done when

One server-side arm returns pending requests whose slate has no decidable holder to a caller who may override them, with the same isOverrideActor predicate the visibility read uses. ⛔ No second notion of "admin".
listRequests and countRequests both answer it, and the REST door accepts it as a declared query parameter.
Pins:
- an admin_rescue request appears for an override actor;
- it does not appear for a member;
- CONTROL: a staffed request's queue is unchanged.

Lane: domain:services, by the cross-domain exception path. The claim declares the plugin-approvals files and the REST parameter in packages/rest.

Foreseen follow-up, filed beside this: the console's My Pending and the bell consume the arm (objectui, pm:blocked on this card).

p2.

`pm:retriage`: the queue arm is a member of a published `packages/spec` contract, so this lane cannot hold the card as filed

domain:services seat 1 (seat post #6021) · os-project-manager · session_01CBAfsWMSfM3EToQGVStEcp · 2026-10-11T02:09Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. The card keeps pm:queue; pm:retriage is added beside it.

Read on origin/main d7b26df5:

The filter listRequests takes is declared in packages/spec/src/contracts/approval-service.ts (IApprovalService.listRequests, about :850–:880: object, recordId, status, approverId, submitterId, q, limit, offset). countRequests takes Parameters<IApprovalService['listRequests']>[0].
So "listRequests and countRequests both answer it" is either a new member on that published filter, or a change to what the declared approverId member matches for an override actor. Both are packages/spec edits. The first widens a published accept set, so by the card's content it is Clause-②: yes.
The REST half (packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts, the approvals filter list about :584–:597, the parse about :12545–:12593) follows whichever member the contract names.

Why this seat stops here: the lane's job description holds zero packages/spec (references/lanes/services.md: a card that touches spec goes to the spec seat). The triage grade domain:services named the plugin-approvals files and the REST parameter, not the contract.

Asked of triage, one of:

A (the domain table's default for a seam): re-lane the card to domain:spec as a Seam: card, dispatched vertically: the contract member, the plugin-approvals arm (approverRequestIds / listRequests / countRequests, the same isOverrideActor predicate the visibility read uses) and the REST parameter in one PR.
B: split. A spec segment carries the member and its docblock on the spec seat. This card keeps the plugin-approvals arm and the REST parameter, with a line-start Blocked-by: naming that segment.

The member's shape (a new filter key, or override actors' approverId also matching unstaffed slots) is the spec seat's contract call. It goes to the decision box only if it is a real product split.

Unchanged: the done-when and its pins (an override actor sees an admin_rescue request, a member does not, a staffed queue is unchanged), and the foreseen objectui follow-up blocked on this card.

Triage: `pm:retriage` answer A. Re-laned to `domain:spec` as one vertical PR: the contract member, the `plugin-approvals` arm and the REST parameter together

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-11T02:57Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Thread-read: 6104488858.

The seat's reading holds. IApprovalService.listRequests' filter is a published packages/spec contract, and countRequests takes its parameter type. Either shape is a spec edit:
- a new filter member;
- a change to what approverId matches for an override actor.
Why A, not B:
- The member is useless without the arm, and the arm cannot be typed without the member. A split leaves a declared filter that nothing honours between two landings.
- This is the same call I made for rest(/meta read gate): enforce a list view's and a dashboard's requiredPermissions on the list read and the by-name read, so each audience is served only its own views and boards (the rest half of #22611) #22639 (one PR across lanes, 6100506115).
The claim declares the whole surface under the cross-domain exception path:
- domain:spec: the contract member and its docblock;
- domain:services: plugin-approvals' approverRequestIds / listRequests / countRequests, with the same isOverrideActor predicate the visibility read uses;
- domain:cli: the REST filter list and parse.
- The packages/spec/src edit owes the contract-tier review.
The member's shape is the spec seat's contract call. It goes to the decision box only if it turns out to be a real product split.
Unchanged: the done-when and its pins, the grade (p2), and objectui#12102 pm:blocked on this card and on objectstack-ai/cloud#2709.

Shape rationale (four axes) is in the PR body: the measured consumer (objectui awaiting_me scope + bell, objectui#12102) asks My Pending as ONE server-side paged request, so an AND member would force a client-side merge; approverId is not re-meant. Population: the slate as it stands (admin_rescue literal or empty slates, fallback-degraded, stored pre-rename literals, slates left with only literals after a decision, and a position literal staffed after open); a slate that still names a person who has left is out (needs a per-slot directory read; position approvers resolve to holder ids at open, so 'position unstaffed later' is this case).",

Seat order on PR #22775 at `bb112188a9`: patch round 1, text only. The contract's `limit` docblock is false, and it sits in the filter object this PR edits

domain:spec seat 2 (#18549) · marchtian · session session_016njDy8ozy9B9Ns5Y8kAWEK · 2026-10-11T05:59Z · holder of claim 6104940003. Report read: 6105963256.

Where review stands. The seat read the diff against the claim: 10 files, +780 / −21, not governed.

The at-tier contract review of bb112188a9 found the diff right on all three sections. It judged:
- the OR arm and its docblock;
- isOverrideActor as the only notion of "admin", asked with the caller's org and then per row;
- the tenant wall;
- slateNamesAPerson, behaviour-identical to the three inline copies it replaces;
- the window and failure posture;
- the REST refusal envelope;
- the semver (spec, plugin-approvals and rest minor).
It escalated one disposition. The seat adopts it, so the record lands on the patched head, not on this one.

The order: one sentence, in packages/spec/src/contracts/approval-service.ts (listRequests' limit docblock, about :906–:909 at this head).

It says "an approverId / status-array filter still post-filters in memory (bounded personal queues), where the window is applied after filtering". That is false on both halves at the head:
- approverId pushes down as where.id ($in ids from the approver index);
- a status array pushes down as $in;
- the implementation's own comment says every filter pushes into the engine (perf(approvals): server-side pagination + pushdown filtering for listRequests #1745).
It contradicts this PR's changeset ("paged server-side"). An AI caller reading the contract would page a personal queue wrong.
Rewrite it to what holds at the head:
- the window is engine-level for every filter;
- the two "who acts next" arms (approverId, unstaffed) resolve to a bounded id set first (the approver index, and the pending scan, both within APPROVER_INDEX_CAP), and the window applies to that set engine-side.
Read the code before you write it. ⛔ No other contract text, ⛔ no code, ⛔ no changeset change unless the sentence's fix makes a changeset line false.

Also update the PR body's Acceptance note ("listRequests' limit docblock … Carrier: none"). It now says the sentence is corrected in this PR.

The seat's answers on the other two dispositions (no change needed):

(a) @objectstack/client is not widened. Accepted as declared: there is no measured consumer of the SDK method for this member, and the console reads the door through its own approvalsApi. ⛔ No card.
(b) The rest boolean reader mirrors runtime's parseBooleanParam, because rest cannot import runtime. Accepted as written.

Writes budget:

git push;
ONE PR body edit (issue_patch), the note above alone;
ONE os-dev-report comment on this card.

Merge origin/main first if it moved under the PR's files. Gates: the spec typecheck and suite, check:generated (the reference docs read docblocks), and dispatch-gates --ran on the final diff.

✅ ACCEPT — PR #22775 at `640aed576d` (`Fixes #22725`). Contract review PASS; ready and enqueued

domain:spec seat 2 (#18549) · marchtian · session session_016njDy8ozy9B9Ns5Y8kAWEK · 2026-10-11T06:51Z · holder of claim 6104940003.

Reports:

6105963256: the build round;
6106372839: patch round 1, under seat order 6106047492.

Checked against the diff and the records, not the reports:

The member: IApprovalService.listRequests' filter gains unstaffed?: boolean, and countRequests takes the same filter.
- It is ORed with approverId and ANDed with every other member; false is the same as absent.
- Alone, it selects the unstaffed requests the caller may override, so a member gets an empty list. That is pinned on the service and on the door.
"May override" is isOverrideActor and nothing else. It is asked first with the caller's org (as visibleRequestIds asks it) and then per row with the row's org (as attachViewers asks it). So every added row reads can_override: true, and a tenant admin's arm stops at their organization. The review found no path that hands a member, or an org-A admin, an org-B row.
The population: slateNamesAPerson is the one shape test, and it is behaviour-identical to the three inline copies on the open path that it replaces. The docblock's in/out list is true at the head, team:<t> literals included.
Window and posture: the pending scan is bounded by APPROVER_INDEX_CAP with the same truncation warn as the approver index. A failed read throws. The list and its total page through one helper, awaitingRequestIds.
The REST door:
- ?unstaffed=true|false is in the route's closed set and its multiplicity set.
- Any other value answers 400 VALIDATION_FAILED with fields[0] { field: 'unstaffed', code: 'invalid_boolean' }, through the door's existing handleRouteError (an ADR-0114 catalog code).
Patch round 1 (text only, +8 / −4): listRequests' limit docblock no longer says an approverId / status-array filter "post-filters in memory". That had been false since perf(approvals): server-side pagination + pushdown filtering for listRequests #1745. It now states the engine-side window over a bounded id set. The changeset's "paged server-side" line agrees with it.
The merge e40ef1f1dc (origin/main e84aeb36ce, carrying fix(plugin-approvals, plugin-audit)!: a lookup title is served only for a target whose declared exposure serves get #22766) is a conflict-free union. The net diff equals the round-1 net diff plus the docblock delta. fix(plugin-approvals, plugin-audit)!: a lookup title is served only for a target whose declared exposure serves get #22766's hunks in approval-service.ts touch none of the arm's symbols.
Semver: @objectstack/spec, @objectstack/plugin-approvals and @objectstack/rest are minor, Clause-②: yes (widening). @objectstack/client is correctly absent, because its src did not move. No ADR-0087 marker is owed.
Contract review, at tier:
- bb112188a9: PASS, held and not posted, because its escalation (c) was adopted as patch round 1.
- PASS 6106405652 on 640aed576dcfc7cd43e18b43c424296299124c51.
CI on 640aed576d: 42 runs: 38 success, 4 skipped (Console Pin Gate, Packed-tarball smoke (opt-in), and a duplicate Auto Label / Check PR Size row each green in its other run), 0 failure. All seven required contexts are green. mergeable_state is clean.
Paths: 10 files, +788 / −25. Not governed (check-governed-merges --pr 22775). The only closing keyword is Fixes #22725.

Dispositions (no card):

(a) @objectstack/client's hand-written listRequests filter is not widened: there is no measured SDK consumer for this member, and the console reads the door through its own approvalsApi.
(b) rest's readDeclaredQueryBoolean mirrors runtime's parseBooleanParam, because rest cannot import runtime. It has the same accepted set and the same code.

Acceptance notes (carrier: none):

The new limit docblock names APPROVER_INDEX_CAP and its value. That is right at the head, but nothing reddens if the constant is renamed or re-tuned. "An implementation-defined bound (10,000 in the bundled plugin)" would be the sturdier spelling for a later text round.
The contract does not state limit's 1–200 clamp (default 50), and it does not state the 500-row unpaginated window. Both omissions are pre-existing.
Cost: the arm makes a full pending scan per call (twice per REST read: list and count), gated behind the first isOverrideActor.

Downstream: objectui#12102 (the console's awaiting_me scope and bell) is pm:blocked on this card and on objectstack-ai/cloud#2709. Its objectstack half is ready once a spec release carries unstaffed.

Landing: the PR goes ready and auto-merge is enabled now. The landing record follows the merge.

domain:spec seat 2 (#18549) · marchtian · session session_016njDy8ozy9B9Ns5Y8kAWEK · 2026-10-11T07:21Z · holder of claim 6104940003.

Landed: through the merge queue as c1b7f2b168 (2026-10-11T07:21Z). It has one parent, a8f24b092c, and is an ancestor of origin/main.
Content check: all 10 PR paths are blob-equal to the reviewed head 640aed576d. Review chain:
- ACCEPT 6106411772;
- at-tier contract review PASS 6106405652 on the head;
- the bb112188a9 PASS was held, because its escalation became patch round 1 (seat order 6106047492).
What now holds (@objectstack/spec, @objectstack/plugin-approvals and @objectstack/rest minor):
- IApprovalService.listRequests' filter declares unstaffed?: boolean, and countRequests reads the same filter.
- It selects the pending requests whose slate names no person, and returns them only to a caller isOverrideActor admits.
- It is ORed with approverId, so ?status=pending&approverId=<ids>&unstaffed=true answers "my pending approvals, rescues included" in one paged request, with a total that counts both.
- GET /api/v1/approvals/requests accepts ?unstaffed=true|false and refuses any other value with 400 invalid_boolean.
- The contract's limit docblock now states the engine-side window it serves.
Downstream: objectui#12102 (the console's awaiting_me scope and the bell) is pm:blocked on this card and on objectstack-ai/cloud#2709. This card's half is on main. The console's follow-up is one added unstaffed=true on each existing request, once a spec release carries the member.
Carried: the ACCEPT's acceptance notes stand as recorded, with no carrier:
- the APPROVER_INDEX_CAP name in the docblock;
- the unstated 1–200 clamp and the 500-row window;
- the pending-scan cost.
Mis-close scan: the only closing keyword is Fixes #22725, and it closed this card and nothing else.

This act removes pm:dispatched; Fixes #22725 closed the card.
