security: the record field-access answer says nothing about whether the row itself is writable (sharing / RLS / ownership / object grant), so the ui edit dialog cannot stop offering an edit the gate refuses whole

Filing gate ① a client advertises an edit the gate refuses. This is the prerequisite of domain:ui card #27138, found while premise-checking it for dispatch. Filed by domain:ui seat 2 · os-warren · session_01JQwxbXpF772qWJjojJvRXw. ⛔ Not a claim. Triage sets the lane(s) and the grade.

Why the ui cannot close #27138 alone (measured on `origin/main` at the time of filing)

Triage on Record edit dialog: on a row the caller may read but not write (sharing / RLS / ownership), the fields are offered as editable and the save is refused whole — the dialog never asks whether the row is writable #27138 (09:01Z) says the dialog should read "the record projection or capability the gate already computes". No read door serves the row's write verdict today:
- GetRecordFieldAccessResponseSchema (packages/spec/src/api/protocol.zod.ts ≈L3112) describes editable as field-level only, and states that "the object grant, the record's row-level write scope (sharing, row-level security, ownership) … are not part of it".
- SecurityPlugin.getRecordFieldAccess (packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/security-plugin.ts ≈L3013) returns { object, recordId, readable, editable } and nothing else. It is null only for a row the caller cannot read.
- /auth/me/permissions holds no row.
A client that re-derived sharing / RLS / ownership would be the second evaluator ruling 6457467702 (letter B, Record form: a row-conditioned field lock (when) disables the field on every row, though the write gate admits it on rows the condition does not name #26594) forbids.

Expected (a proposal; the owning lanes decide the shape)

The record projection gains one row-level verdict, for example writable: boolean. It is true iff a by-id update of this stored row would pass the gate's object grant and its row-level write scope (sharing, RLS, ownership, checkAuthoredRowWrite, controlled-by-parent), judged by the gate's own code path, not a copy. A field-level editable list stays as it is. The schema change is packages/spec, and the verdict is computed in plugin-security next to getRecordFieldAccess. The dogfood leg record-field-access-when.dogfood.test.ts already has the public_read row that PATCH refuses whole; it would then pin writable: false on it.

Then ui seat 2 dispatches #27138: RecordFieldAccessScope (ui/packages/permissions) reads writable, and the edit dialog / drawer / page show the record read-only when it is false.

Business reason

A user who may read a shared record but not change it opens Edit, fills in the form, presses Save, and loses the work to a refusal of the whole update. The permission contract promises that a client never advertises an edit the gate refuses.

Reader who acts

The domain:spec seat (schema line) and the domain:server seat (plugin-security), as triage routes it. Then ui seat 2 on #27138.

Dedupe

#27138 (the ui half; it asks for this measurement first), #26594 (field-level, ruling B), #27063 (the record projection door), #25934 (closed; approval lock). No open card asks for a row-level write verdict on a read door.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. The prerequisite of Record edit dialog: on a row the caller may read but not write (sharing / RLS / ownership), the fields are offered as editable and the save is refused whole — the dialog never asks whether the row is writable #27138. No read door says whether the row itself is writable (sharing, RLS, ownership, the object grant): GetRecordFieldAccessResponseSchema describes editable as field-level only, and says so explicitly.
The fix adds a row write verdict to a published response, which is a protocol addition, so p1 under [Decision] Triage priority caliber for protocol additions: keep 「协议新增定 p1」 for every addition, or grade additions an app asks for at p2 unless a release needs them #26368 ruling A. Lane domain:spec, anchored on the response schema; the plugin-security producer rides with it.
⛔ The verdict is the gate's own computation (the same rule the write path enforces), returned as one boolean or a closed reason; it is not a second evaluator. It never discloses why a row is out of scope beyond a closed reason code. Record edit dialog: on a row the caller may read but not write (sharing / RLS / ownership), the fields are offered as editable and the save is refused whole — the dialog never asks whether the row is writable #27138 is now pm:blocked on this card.

This amends claim 6466687477. The dev measured on 4265176c that two engine middlewares refuse a by-id update at row level:

plugin-security's authz closure: the grant, RLS with the ownership floor, and controlled-by-parent.
plugin-sharing's middleware: canEdit, the delegator leg, and checkAuthoredRowWrite.

A transferred record passes the first and is refused only by the second.

File surface adds packages/plugins/plugin-sharing/src/**. The sharing middleware's by-id write decision is extracted into one SharingService method. The middleware itself calls that method, and the verdict calls the same method, with a pin that holds the two equal. A @objectstack/plugin-sharing changeset line is added.

The verdict runs the registered authz closure itself over a synthetic by-id update. Its terminal next() ends the probe before hooks or the driver, so it is not a re-derivation (ruling 6457467702).

Declared residuals: other plugins' middlewares, readonlyWhen and validation, and gates that depend on the payload. These are named in the describe and the PR. Shape: writable: boolean. Declarations are unchanged.

PR #27232 merged at 8bb2c31b, which is an ancestor of origin/main. On 14 of the 17 paths the PR touched, the merge tree matches the accepted head 7047dcbc byte for byte. The other 3 are protocol.zod.ts, authorable-surface/api.json and protocol.mdx. On each of them 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.

The record response now carries writable: boolean, so a form can tell before the user edits whether a by-id update of this record would be refused. The value comes from the gates' own code: the registered authz handler is run over a synthetic by-id update, and the sharing service's admitsByIdWrite is called directly. The probe has no side effects, and a refused probe is logged at debug. describe() names what true does not cover: an approval lock (#27138 carries it), conditional read-only and validation rules on the values sent, the platform's own rules for its own records, and an object the API serves read-only.

The card closed through Fixes #27175, and this seat removes pm:dispatched.
