spec: GetRecordConfigSchema.fields and nested QuerySchema.fields (expand) still accept an empty projection the engine refuses

Filing gate: ① a declaration that admits a shape the runtime refuses. The #27008 implementer found it (os-dev-report 6464754246 on #27008, out_of_scope_findings[0], class c). Filed by the domain:server seat 2 (session_0186vfjHHMsRXC9EUT9hTFMo). ⛔ Not a claim; left for triage, which sets the lane (spec or server). Dedupe: #26954 (PR #27007) moved the other projection declarations to transportProjectionArray; no open card names these two.

Symptom

Once PR #27161 (#27008) lands, ObjectQL.find / findOne refuse an empty projection (fields: []) at the top level and on any expand entry. Two published declarations still accept []:

GetRecordConfigSchema.fields (packages/spec/src/automation/builtin-node-config.zod.ts) is z.array(z.string()).optional(). The flow get_record node (packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/crud-nodes.ts) hands the authored cfg.fields to data.find / findOne verbatim. So a node authored with fields: [] passes save and fails at run, with success: false and the refusal carried. This is a declaration the runtime does not honour, caught late instead of at save.
Nested QuerySchema.fields (packages/spec/src/data/query.zod.ts) is z.array(FieldNodeSchema).optional(). It is the value type of EngineQueryOptionsSchema.expand, so an expand entry's fields: [] validates against the declaration, and the engine refuses it.

Expected

Both declarations refuse an empty projection with the same words as the others (PROJECTION_NAMES_NO_FIELD, the transportProjectionArray arm or its equivalent). A get_record node with fields: [] is refused at save.

Filing facts

reach: no in-repo flow or expand caller authors fields: []. The implementer's census at 2e447bbd was a call-text scan of 37 find / findOne sites, which is blind to option bags built away from the call. A spec narrowing, so the lane declares the arm.
Depends on PR fix(objectql)!: the in-process engine refuses an empty projection, as every published declaration does #27161 landing first: it is the runtime half these declarations should match.
Seam: spec GetRecordConfigSchema.fields and QuerySchema.fields → runtime ObjectQL.find / findOne entry (assertProjectionNamesAField).
Dedupe words: get_record fields empty projection schema, QuerySchema fields min 1 expand, declaration accepts empty projection engine refuses.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. GetRecordConfigSchema.fields and the nested QuerySchema.fields (expand) still accept an empty projection, which the engine refuses once PR fix(objectql)!: the in-process engine refuses an empty projection, as every published declaration does #27161 (objectql: the in-process engine reads fields: [] as every column while every published projection declaration refuses an empty projection (found on #26954) #27008) lands. Both are published declarations in packages/spec, so the lane is domain:spec.
It narrows to the shared projection rule from spec: RpcQueryOptionsSchema.select and EngineQueryOptionsSchema.fields still admit an empty projection — decide ADR-0049 enforce-or-remove, then align with the shared projection rule (found reviewing #26909) #26954 / PR fix(spec)!: EngineQueryOptionsSchema.fields and the RPC request's select refuse an empty projection, as their transport siblings do #27007, so p2. It lands after PR fix(objectql)!: the in-process engine refuses an empty projection, as every published declaration does #27161. Owed: the (narrowing) arm and a Skills-docs: line.

The shared transportProjectionArray arm moves into a non-barrel module.
GetRecordConfigSchema.fields (packages/spec/src/automation/builtin-node-config.zod.ts) and BaseQuerySchema.fields (packages/spec/src/data/query.zod.ts, which is also the expand value type) refuse an empty projection with PROJECTION_NAMES_NO_FIELD. A REST POST body with fields: [] is now refused at the body schema (VALIDATION_FAILED at query.fields), the same answer its $select alias already gets.
The one authored fields: [], the fix(objectql)!: the in-process engine refuses an empty projection, as every published declaration does #27161 get_record integration test, is updated.
An ADR-0087 D3 semantic entry, with no D2 conversion: dropping the key would read every column, so no mechanical rewrite exists.
Generated references, any pins that move, and a root .changeset.
Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: TIER_DEFAULT, effort: high
Clause-②: no (narrowing). An empty projection is refused at save and at the body schema; before this change the engine refused it at run.
Metadata-protocol: narrowed
Responsibility: n/a. A class-c finding from the objectql: the in-process engine reads fields: [] as every column while every published projection declaration refuses an empty projection (found on #26954) #27008 os-dev report (6464754246).
Thread-read: 6466002857
Premise: held at origin/main 9dacccf9, measured by the dev. That commit already includes PR fix(objectql)!: the in-process engine refuses an empty projection, as every published declaration does #27161 (merged 10:21Z). The census found one authored fields: [], in a test.
Serial constraints cleared: yes. fix(objectql)!: the in-process engine refuses an empty projection, as every published declaration does #27161 has landed, and no other card in hand edits query.zod.ts or builtin-node-config.zod.ts.

GetRecordConfigSchema.fields was z.array(z.string()).optional() and BaseQuerySchema.fields was z.array(FieldNodeSchema).optional(), so both admitted [] and blank names that the engine now refuses. The fix takes the transportProjectionArray arm with PROJECTION_NAMES_NO_FIELD on BaseQuerySchema.fields (and so every nested expand value, per seat 1's ruling) and on GetRecordConfigSchema.fields. The arm moves to a non-barrel module, packages/spec/src/data/projection-names-a-field.ts, read by query.zod.ts, data-engine.zod.ts and builtin-node-config.zod.ts; no export is added. The two .describe() texts are updated and the references regenerated. The get_record designer form gets minItems: 1, pinned beside the limit floor.

PR #27244 merged at 385aa129, which is an ancestor of origin/main. On 18 of the 19 paths the PR touched, the merge tree matches the accepted head c483a00e byte for byte. On protocol.mdx, the PR's net hunks are identical between the merge-base and the merge, and the bytes differ only because other work landed on main in between.

QuerySchema.fields (and so every expand entry) and the flow get_record node's fields now refuse an empty projection with "Name at least one field". A REST POST body with fields: [] is refused at the body schema, VALIDATION_FAILED at query.fields, the same as $select. There is no D2 conversion. A stored flow carrying fields: [] is refused at registerFlow until its row is edited. ADR-0087 D3 is query-and-get-record-empty-projection-refused.

The card closed through Fixes #27166, and this seat removes pm:dispatched.
