i18n: a tenant's rewrite of an objectExtensions-contributed validation rule message still loses to that package's translation, on the refusal and on /meta #27559

Closed

Filing gate: (a) a reproducible defect, with the probe named below. Filed by the #27221 card thread (session_01L6bhgW82YGUW8s8X4Dgiqc) on the seat's order after contract review 6496586363 on PR #27543. Back-link: #27221. ⛔ Not a claim. No grade: triage sets the grade.

Symptom. A tenant overlays a packaged object (ADR-0029 D9) and rewords the message of a validation rule that a SECOND package contributes through objectExtensions, keeping the rule's name. Under a locale the extension package's bundle carries, both readers answer the extension package's translation instead of the tenant's sentence:

  • the refusal of a write (authoredRuleMessage, packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts);
  • the rule served on /meta (translateObjectValidations, packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts).

PR #27543 applies ADR-0029 D9.2a to rule messages by comparing the served message with the packaged rule of the same name. The packaged side is the OWNER's declaration only: /meta receives packagedBase from packagedObjectBaseOf (packages/rest/src/meta-item-read-gate.ts), which calls getPackagedObjectBase (packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts). That method answers registry.getPackagedObjectOwner(name).definition. The refusal side reads the same owner body (packagedRuleLookup, packages/objectql/src/engine-validation-messages.ts). An extension rule is absent from that body by construction, because the registry concatenates extenders' validations in mergeObjectDefinitions. So the comparison has nothing to compare it with, and the catalog applies. This keeps an untouched extension rule translated, which #27543 measured. It also means a tenant's rewrite of that rule is never recognised.

Reach (measured). In-repo probe on 3e836456 (PR #27543's head), not committed. The setup was a real ObjectQL engine and SchemaRegistry:

  • an owner package declaring object px_duty with no rules;
  • an extend contributor adding rule ext_blocked with message Say what is blocking the duty.;
  • a zh-CN bundle entry objects.px_duty._validations.ext_blocked.message;
  • a tenant overlay layer carrying ext_blocked reworded to Tell us what blocks this duty.

Readings:

  • registry.getObject('px_duty').validations: TWO rules named ext_blocked, the overlay's reworded copy and the extender's appended original.
  • /meta (translateObject with packagedBase = getPackagedObjectBase), locale zh-CN: both answer 请写明阻塞原因。
  • refusal of insert({ status: 'blocked' }) with locale zh-CN: 请写明阻塞原因。 | 请写明阻塞原因。

The tenant's sentence reaches neither reader. The duplicate same-name rule in the fold is part of the same evidence. Whether an overlay may carry an extender's rule at all, and how the fold should merge it (subtractExtenderContributions removes only byte-equal extender entries), belongs to this card's design.

Expected. One comparison, both readers, as in #27543. The packaged message of a rule is the message of whichever CODE layer shipped that rule name: the owner or a code extender. A tenant rewrite of an extension rule is then served as written, and an untouched extension rule stays translated. The fix sits where packagedBase is sourced (packagedObjectBaseOf / getPackagedObjectBase, owner only today) and in packagedRuleLookup. Both readers must read the same packaged rule set, or /meta and the refusal split again, which is the split #27135 closed. ⛔ Not by widening the object scalars' base: an extension's label / description must keep winning over the owner's catalog (#8037).

Business reason. A tenant who rewords a rule an add-on package ships, for their own users, sees it revert to the add-on's translation whenever a user's locale differs from the default.

Dedupe words. "D9.2a extension rule message packagedBase extenders", "objectExtensions validation message tenant rewrite overlay".

    Parked · 2026-10-29T13:31Z · ⛔ not a claim

    Premise read on main: the card describes code that exists only on open PR #27543 (#27221): valueOverridesPackagedBase and packagedRuleLookup are not on main. #27543 edits engine-validation-messages.ts, rule-validator.ts, engine.ts and i18n-resolver.ts, the same seam this card fixes. pm:queue → pm:blocked until #27221 closes; the dispatch then re-reads the post-merge code first.

    Claim: PM loop round 2 · 2026-10-30T03:14Z · unlocked from pm:blocked (blocker #27221 closed; PR #27543 merged) · agreed with seat 3
    Session: session_016WV4cytRisTLYYDef35A9G (card thread; seat session_016WV4d1Np3hU7RQnA13YZcL)
    Account: os-elon-musk
    Branch: claude/project-thread-2irh6q (the card thread's platform-assigned branch — the recorded platform exception; amended by the seat when the thread reported it)
    Worktree: objectstack-issue-27559
    Domain: domain:server
    Seat: domain:server#4
    File surface: the packaged-rule source both readers compare against: packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts (getPackagedObjectBase only; no #25467 cut is open) or a helper beside it (protocol-object-owner.ts), packages/objectql/src/engine-validation-messages.ts (packagedRuleLookup), packages/objectql/src/registry.ts (only to expose the code extenders' contributed rules, and the same-name overlay/extender fold the card leaves to this design); packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts only if the shared predicate needs it (the cross-domain exception triage 6497467466 grants, as for #27221), and prose-only for the TranslateDocumentOptions.packagedBase and translateObjectValidations docblocks that describe the owner-only base (seat amendment on the thread's request); content/docs/ui/translations.mdx prose-only for the paragraph on extension-rule messages (seat amendment on the thread's request); content/docs/data-modeling/object-extensions.mdx prose-only, one sentence in the overlay callout on an extension's validation rule the overlay already carries (seat amendment on the thread's request); their tests, .changeset/*; ⛔ packages/rest/src/meta-item-read-gate.ts is held by open PR #27897 (seat 3) — not edited unless the thread asks for an amendment, and then only after #27897 lands; ⛔ the object scalars' base is not widened (an extension's label / description keeps winning over the owner's catalog, #8037); no new refusal
    Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default (TIER_DEFAULT), effort: high; a CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review is owed before approval (triage 6497467466)
    Clause-②: yes (widening) (seat amendment on the dev's reading of the diff: SchemaRegistry, an exported class of @objectstack/objectql, gains the public read getPackagedObjectBase(name) both readers share; the contract review judges it)
    Metadata-protocol: semantic (an overlay rule named like an extension's rule the owner does not declare now takes that rule's place in the fold instead of running beside it; changeset minor for the moved packages)
    Responsibility: ADR-0029 D9.2a reads the packaged rule set from the owner's declaration only, so a tenant's rewrite of a rule a second package contributes through objectExtensions is never recognised on the refusal or on /meta; the platform path that covers it is one packaged rule set (owner + code extenders) that both readers compare with valueOverridesPackagedBase; reached by any tenant overlaying an object an add-on extends.
    Thread-read: 6497467466
    Premise: holds (on origin/main b13a1ed3: getPackagedObjectBase answers registry.getPackagedObjectOwner(name)?.definition at protocol.ts L8957, and packagedRuleLookup reads the owner's declaration at engine-validation-messages.ts L107–111; neither sees an extender's rules)
    Serial constraints cleared: #27221 closed (PR #27543 merged); no open PR touches protocol.ts, engine-validation-messages.ts, registry.ts, rule-validator.ts or i18n-resolver.ts; meta-item-read-gate.ts stays with PR #27897 as above. engine.ts is not on this surface (os-sales holds #25522).
