console: a member opening an app they may not access at its package-id URL gets "This app can't be opened" instead of the access-denied screen — the access probe asks the by-name route with the package id and reads its 404 as not found #12285

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing-gate category ① (product defect, named landing point) and ③ — the maintainer's order in the dispatching session, verbatim: 「测试遇到的问题,可以提交issue」.

QA-source: objectstack-ai/objectstack#23104 · platform-core.builtin-apps-nav-render · A2

Reader who acts: the objectui domain:ui execution seat (console app shell). Dedupe: semantic issue search on this repo, closed included, "console app access probe package id URL segment access denied screen unreachable shows app not found for member Setup" — 2 hits, neither this shape (objectui#4473, objectui#2794, both closed).

Verified twice: the runner reproduced it on two fresh browser contexts; the PM seat re-derived it independently from source at the pin (RUNNER rule 7, P0 item).

Environment

objectstack 36b2889c with the console built from objectui 1fb1ced36243 (the pin hop of objectstack-ai/objectstack#23104 / PR objectstack-ai/objectstack#23110), stock examples/app-showcase, --seed-admin, member persona phone.demo@example.com (positions org_member, everyone).

Reproduction

  1. Sign in through the console form as the member; GET /api/v1/auth/get-session answers 200 for that user.
  2. Navigate to /_console/apps/com.objectstack.setup — the package-id URL segment the admin's own Setup links use (ADR-0048 URL form).
  3. Network: GET /api/v1/meta/app 200 (Setup absent from the member's list, correctly), then GET /api/v1/meta/app/com.objectstack.setup → 404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.
  4. The page renders [data-testid=app-not-found]: "This app can't be opened — The server did not return this app for your account".

Expected: [data-testid=app-access-denied] "You don't have access to this app" — the screen AppContent renders for a denied verdict (objectui#4252 / objectstack-ai/objectstack#8013).
Control: the same member, GET /api/v1/meta/app/setup (by NAME) → 403 PERMISSION_DENIED, "You do not have permission to open the 'setup' app." No Setup content leaks either way; this is the wrong verdict screen, not an access hole.

Mechanism (objectui 1fb1ced36243)

  • packages/app-shell/src/console/AppContent.tsx: const { appName } = useParams(); — the URL segment, which may be a package id; the probe effect calls probe.call(dataSource, appName) with it.
  • packages/data-objectstack/src/index.ts probeAppAccess(appName) → probeMetaItemAccess('app', appName) → the by-name route, which keys on the app NAME. A package-id segment therefore answers 404, read as not_found, so the denied branch is unreachable from every package-id app URL.

Where the fix lands

Either the console resolves the segment to an app name before probing (the member's app list does not carry withheld apps, so it cannot do that from the list alone), or the backend's by-name app read also answers for the package id. Which side owns the mapping is the fixing seat's call; if it is the backend, this becomes a seam with objectstack-ai/objectstack.

    Triage: first grade, bug · priority:p3 · domain:ui · area:access, into pm:queue. The access probe asks by the app's routing key. A server half is a seam card only if no declared read exists

    Triage seat (seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-13T02:56Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    • Why p3: it shows the wrong verdict screen and leaks nothing. The member gets "can't be opened" where "no access" is right, and no Setup content is served either way, as the card's control shows.
    • The baseline: ADR-0048 §3.1 makes the package id the app's routing key (/apps/<packageId>). So the console's denied-or-missing verdict has to be answerable for that key. Asking the by-name route with a package id is the defect.
    • Direction, in order:
      1. The claimant measures whether a declared server read already answers 403 or 404 for an app by package id. The ?package= reading every /meta door has (objectstack #22188) is the first candidate. If one does, the console probes a package-id segment through it, and the fix is objectui-only.
      2. If none does, the claimant files the objectstack seam card ("the app access verdict is answerable by package id, per ADR-0048 §3.1"), and this card goes pm:blocked on it.
      • ⛔ The console does not guess. An unresolved segment is not shown as "denied" on assumption.
      • ⛔ No alias acceptance is added to the by-name route here. That would widen a published door's accept set, which is a spec-lane decision, not a UI fix.
      • Pins: a member on a withheld app's package-id URL sees the access-denied screen; an unknown package id still shows not-found; the by-name control is unchanged.
    • Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/console/AppContent.tsx and packages/data-objectstack (probeAppAccess) (domain:ui); rationale: probe by the key the URL carries.

    Claim: PM loop round 1 (as triage 6137196505 directs, in its order: the claimant first measures whether a declared server read already answers 403 or 404 for an app by package id, the ?package= reading of the /meta doors (objectstack-ai/objectstack#22188) being the first candidate; if one does, the console probes a package-id segment through it, objectui-only; if none does, ⛔ no code, and this seat files the objectstack seam card and blocks this card on it)
    Session: session_01RZYixBnXPWvcm2YenWo6eJ
    Account: os-support-ai (the seat's linked user as GET /user answers it; the card's assignee)

    Worktree: objectui-issue-12285
    Domain: domain:ui
    Seat: domain:ui#2
    File surface, on objectui main f0532d8:

    • The measurement (read-only, first): objectstack's /meta app reads, by name and with ?package=, on objectstack main and on the newest published @objectstack/* release, as source and, where the dev can boot it, as a live answer for a member on a withheld app.
    • Only if a declared read answers, the probe: packages/app-shell/src/console/AppContent.tsx, the access-probe effect (const probed = appName; then probe.call(dataSource, probed), near :377–:378), and packages/data-objectstack/src/index.ts, probeAppAccess (:6256) and probeMetaItemAccess (:6283).
    • Co-located tests, and .changeset/12285-probe-by-package-id.md (@object-ui/app-shell, @object-ui/data-objectstack if touched; ⛔ never major).
    • ⛔ No alias acceptance on the by-name route, no server change, and no "denied" shown for a segment the server did not answer.
    • (Stop on breach; explain in the report.)
      Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: default tier — dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui: "no path-derived mandate"
      Clause-②: yes
      Responsibility: objectui's console app shell (@object-ui/app-shell AppContent's access probe, through @object-ui/data-objectstack probeAppAccess), which asks the by-name app route with a package-id URL segment and reads its 404 as not_found | the access-denied screen exists (objectui#4252), and the by-name route answers 403 for a name (the card's control); whether a package-id read answers is the measurement | every member opening a withheld app at its package-id URL, the ADR-0048 form the admin's own Setup links use (reproduced twice on the card)
      Thread-read: 6137196505
      Serial constraints cleared: read at 2026-10-13T05:34Z on objectui main f0532d8:
    • The files: no open PR touches AppContent.tsx or packages/data-objectstack/src/index.ts (4 open PRs read: objectui#12309 grid saves, two dependabot next bumps, the release PR objectui#11600). Neither file has changed on main since 2026-10-12T05:00Z.
    • The carried hot-file note: seat post objectui#9771 §3 carries AppContent.tsx (findFirstRoute) as not re-measured. Re-measured now: no open PR and no in-flight claim names it. This card's region is the access-probe effect, not findFirstRoute.
    • Neighbours: seat 1's in-flight objectui#12292, objectui#12300 and objectui#12302 share no file. This seat's objectui#12301 and objectui#12288 share none.
    • Clause-②: yes covers a probe input that may widen probeAppAccess on the published adapter. If the measurement blocks the card, or the fix moves no published signature, the report narrows it to no and says why.

Per the dispatch no fix code was written and no PR opened; the branch holds only the empty probe push (head f0532d8 = objectui origin/main). Readings on main e540e7ffb: (1) By-name item read GET /api/v1/meta/app/NAME, RestServer (packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts, handler of the `${metaPath}/:type/:name` route, uncached arm `const envelope = await p.getMetaItem(itemRequest)` with `name: req.params.name`): addressed by the app's snake_case NAME. The spec declares exactly that (packages/spec/src/api/protocol.zod.ts GetMetaItemRequestSchema: name 'Item name (snake_case identifier)', packageId 'Optional package ID to filter items by'). `?package=` is read through `metaItemPackageBinding` (objectstack-ai/objectstack#22188 reading) and only NARROWS: it reaches `getItem(type, name, currentPackageId)` (packages/objectql/src/registry.ts, ADR-0048 3.3 prefer-local), which tries the bare key, then the `PKG:NAME` composite, then any key ending in `:NAME`. The name stays the key, so /meta/app/com.objectstack.setup?package=com.objectstack.setup asks for an app NAMED com.objectstack.setup and answers 404 exactly as the card's step 3 did; the runtime dispatcher's /meta item read (packages/runtime/src/domains/meta.ts) asks `protocol.getMetaItem` the same way. (2) List GET /api/v1/meta/app?package=ID: `?package=` scopes `getMetaItems`, then `createMetaListReadGate`'s app arm maps `filterAppForUser` over the items and drops nulls (packages/rest/src/meta-item-read-gate.ts, `.filter((it: any) => it != null);`). A member on a withheld app is answered 200 with that app left out, byte-identical to an unknown package id (200, empty): the collapse the card describes, so it does not answer the verdict. (3) List `?id=` (objectstack-ai/objectstack#7566) narrows by `a.name === appIdFilter` AFTER that gate: by name, and the same collapse. (4) GET /api/v1/packages/:id (packages/runtime/src/domains/packages.ts, `requireReadCapability`) refuses 403 'Reading packages requires the `studio.access` or `setup.access` capability.' BEFORE reading, so a member gets that 403 for every id, existing or not: a package-read capability answer, not an app verdict; probing it would show 'denied' for an unknown package id and break pin 2. (5) Census: the two route ledgers (packages/rest/src/rest-route-ledger.ts, packages/runtime/src/route-ledger.ts) list 165 routes; every item-addressed /meta GET keys on :name; the only package-keyed GETs are /packages/:id, /commits, /export (all behind the same gate). Readings on published 17.7.0 (npm 'latest' dist-tag of @objectstack/rest and @objectstack/client, published 2026-10-06; objectui's pnpm-lock.yaml resolves @objectstack/client, spec, core, formula, lint 17.7.0; read from `npm pack` tarballs): rest dist/index.js list `const packageId = req.query?.package || void 0;` and item read `const envelope = await p.getMetaItem(itemRequest);` by `name: req.params.name`; list gate `filterAppForUser(it, sysPerms, serviceGate, servabilityGate, docAudienceGate)).filter((it) => it != null)`; `a.name === appIdFilter`; metadata-protocol dist `this.engine.registry.getItem(request.type, request.name, request.packageId)`; runtime dist 'Reading packages requires the `studio.access` or `setup.access` capability.' 403. objectstack-ai/objectstack#22188 is NOT in 17.7.0 (`metaItemPackageBinding` 0 hits in rest@17.7.0 dist/index.js vs `createMetaListReadGate` 3 hits in the same file), which changes only how `?package=all` reads, not the name keying. H4 (segment kinds): the console CAN tell them apart without guessing, by spec grammar: an app name is SnakeCaseIdentifierSchema /^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$/ (no dot, packages/spec/src/shared/identifiers.zod.ts; AppSchema name in packages/spec/src/ui/app.zod.ts) and a package id is MANIFEST_ID_PATTERN /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*(\\.[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*)+$/ (at least one dot, packages/spec/src/kernel/manifest.zod.ts): disjoint. It CANNOT map a withheld app's package id to its name: `matchAppBySegment` (packages/app-shell/src/utils/appRoute.ts) resolves `_packageId` then `name` over the member's list, and the withheld app's row is absent from that list. Premise still valid on objectui main f0532d8: AppContent's access-probe effect passes the raw URL segment (`const probed = appName;` then `probe.call(dataSource, probed)`), and `probeMetaItemAccess` asks `this.client.meta.getItem(type, name)`; Setup declares `requiredPermissions: ['setup.access']` (packages/platform-objects/src/apps/setup.app.ts on objectstack main), the withheld reason that by-name answers 403 for.",

Controls: `metaItemPackageBinding` 0 hits in rest@17.7.0 dist/index.js vs `createMetaListReadGate` 3 hits in that same file vs 16 hits in main's rest-server.ts; the route census read 165 routes with the known `GET /api/v1/meta/:type/:name` present. NOT MEASURED: live answer, reason: /home/user/objectstack has no node_modules and no dist (never installed or built in this container); a showcase boot with the member persona needs a full objectstack install plus a CLI-closure build in a separate worktree under the shared verify lock while two sibling devs run, for reads the source at both shas fixes structurally (the item read keys on :name, `?package=` only narrows, the list gate drops withheld apps).

    State: pm:dispatched → pm:blocked on objectstack-ai/objectstack#23183 · domain:ui seat 2 · session_01RZYixBnXPWvcm2YenWo6eJ · 2026-10-13T05:56Z

    The measurement triage 6137196505 ordered first is done, and it lands on step 2. Inputs: claim 6139077736 and the dev report 6139227357 (status: blocked, pr: null, no commit).

    • The reading, re-checked by the seat on objectstack origin/main e540e7f (the dev's report, not this comment, carries the full evidence):
      • The app item read keys on the name: rest-server.ts builds the request with name: req.params.name, and the spec declares name as "Item name (snake_case identifier)".
      • ?package= only narrows.
      • The list read's app gate drops a withheld app (.filter((it: any) => it != null) in meta-item-read-gate.ts), so a member gets 200 without it, the same answer as for an unknown id.
      • GET /packages/:id refuses every caller without studio.access / setup.access before reading.
      • No declared read answers 403-or-404 for an app by package id. The published 17.7.0 reading is the dev's, from the tarballs, and was not re-measured here.
    • Seam card filed: Seam: the app access verdict is answerable by package id, per ADR-0048 §3.1 — no declared /meta read answers 403 or 404 for an app keyed by its package id, so the console cannot tell a withheld app from a missing one at /apps/PACKAGE_ID objectstack#23183 ("the app access verdict is answerable by package id, per ADR-0048 §3.1"), bare for objectstack triage to grade and route.
    • The dev's open question (A: keep the console unchanged while blocked; B: an interim unknown screen for dotted segments): answered A. Triage's direction already decides it: "⛔ The console does not guess", and pin 2 needs not-found for an unknown package id, which only a server read can tell apart from withheld. No decision card is opened.
    • Clause-② narrows to no for this round: no PR was opened, and no published signature moved.

    Release: session_01RZYixBnXPWvcm2YenWo6eJ (account os-support-ai) releases claim 6139077736.
