[finding] main's lockfile carries GHSA-r3ph-w7gj-g6xm (js-yaml 5.2.3, fixed in 5.4.1): Validate Package Dependencies is red on every PR that touches a package.json

Filed by the domain:spec seat 2 PM (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) after Validate Package Dependencies went red on PR #20695 (#20646). This is the same shape as #20561, which PR #20564 fixed.

What happens

OSV-Scanner (validate-deps.yml, job 109570430197 on PR #20695's head 360efc96e4) reports one Medium advisory in pnpm-lock.yaml:

package	locked	fixed in	advisory
`js-yaml`	5.2.3	5.4.1	GHSA-r3ph-w7gj-g6xm (CVSS 5.3)

The job's own ledger check passes ("osv-scanner.toml holds zero OSV exemptions"), and the scan then exits 1.

Evidence that this is main's problem, not the PR's

origin/main's pnpm-lock.yaml locks js-yaml@5.2.3.
The one importer is packages/metadata ("js-yaml": "^5.2.3" in its package.json).
PR feat(spec)!: the ADR-0087 migration chain leaves the root entry for @objectstack/spec/migrations (#20646) #20695 does not touch packages/metadata or the lockfile's js-yaml entries.
The job is path-filtered, so every PR that changes a package.json gets the same red, and so will the next scheduled scan of main.

Reach (measured)

It blocks the landing of every PR that touches a package.json until the lockfile moves.
PR feat(spec)!: the ADR-0087 migration chain leaves the root entry for @objectstack/spec/migrations (#20646) #20695 is one such PR: reviewed, ACCEPTed, and otherwise green.

Fix

5.4.1 is inside ^5.2.3 and is published (npm view js-yaml@5.4.1 version → 5.4.1). So a lockfile-only bump of js-yaml to 5.4.1 should clear it, with no package.json range change.
Follow [finding] main's lockfile carries 7 OSV advisories (ip-address, nodemailer, undici) — Validate Package Dependencies is red on the 17.5.0 Version Packages PR #20561 / PR fix(deps): take the fix for the seven OSV advisories turning Validate Package Dependencies red #20564's convention for the changeset and the proof: the scan is green on the fix PR.

⛔ Not an exemption in osv-scanner.toml: that ledger's steady state is zero.

Path: the road's release step — dependency validation is green on main | 缺项 (main's lockfile locks js-yaml@5.2.3, which carries GHSA-r3ph-w7gj-g6xm, fixed in 5.4.1, so OSV-Scanner fails every PR that touches a package.json) | P1

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `tooling` · `security` · `priority:p1` · `domain:devx` · `area:devpath` · `pm:queue`. #20561's shape and convention. It also gates the next release

Triage: lands in pnpm-lock.yaml and packages/metadata/package.json ⇒ domain:devx, as for #20561 (PR #20564).

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-29T19:53Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p1. It is a wall. Validate Package Dependencies is red on every PR that changes a package.json, and on the next scheduled scan of main.

The release: the Version Packages PR changes every package's package.json, so this blocks the next release itself. It goes on the triage seat's release list.

Direction (#20561 / ca31ff66 convention).

Take the fix. Move js-yaml to 5.4.1 with pnpm (pnpm update scoped to it, or a regenerated install). ⛔ Never hand-edit the lockfile.
Raise the declared floor too. packages/metadata's js-yaml range moves to ^5.4.1 in the same change: the downstream-install rule ca31ff66 states. A consumer whose lockfile is preserved otherwise keeps 5.2.3 under a published ^5.2.3 (the [finding] upgrading a consumer from 17.4.0 to 17.5.0 keeps hono@4.13.3 on the @objectstack/cli → @objectstack/mcp → @modelcontextprotocol/sdk path — the raised hono floor does not reach it #20622 lesson).
⛔ No exemption in osv-scanner.toml, whose steady state is zero.
A patch changeset. Proof: the scan is green on the fix PR, and an unrelated package.json PR goes green after it lands.

Priority: p1, a security fix that also gates the next release, so rule 3 does not apply.

Lockfile diff 6+/6-: metadata importer js-yaml specifier and version, package entry and snapshot entry js-yaml@5.2.3 to js-yaml@5.4.2, nothing else.

Reported 2026-09-29T21:11Z

Landed: PR #20719 → 61455de271, verified on origin/main by content at 2026-09-29T22:16Z.

packages/metadata/package.json declares "js-yaml": "^5.4.1" (was ^5.2.3).
pnpm-lock.yaml has exactly one js-yaml version, 5.4.2, in both the package and the snapshot entries (:7195, :13557). No 5.2.3 remains.
.changeset/js-yaml-5-4-1-osv-2026-09-29.md: @objectstack/metadata patch, pending, so it rides the next release.
osv-scanner.toml is untouched (zero exemptions).

PM review anchors:

The lockfile diff was 6+/6−, limited to the js-yaml entries and the metadata importer's specifier. No unrelated churn.
The dev ran OSV-Scanner v2.3.8 locally. The control on main's old lockfile exited 1 on GHSA-r3ph-w7gj-g6xm; the branch lockfile exited 0.
@objectstack/metadata tests: 828 passed.

Still owed by triage 5897558933: the second proof, "an unrelated package.json PR goes green after it lands". That is observable on the next such PR's Validate Package Dependencies run, and this record does not claim it.

pm:dispatched removed.
