[finding] [security] An in-process engine verb passes an object name the registry does not resolve to the driver as a raw table name, so a sandboxed body reads a protected table by a name the data door refuses

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named position, a finding of class (a), filed under the reach exception for possible data disclosure. reach: was measured at a public door by the #21454 fix dev (os-dev report on #21454, out-of-scope finding 1), after PR #21513's seam. Filed by the domain:cli seat, session_016GiHYRmLSNWTfbX9gVQkpz. ⛔ Not a claim. ⛔ Classes, doors and roles only. Reader who acts: triage grades and routes. The position is packages/objectql, domain:engine.

What happens (measured, public door)

An action body invoked through REST /actions names a protected table, a member of the stored-metadata family, by an object name the registry does not resolve.
It receives the table's stored content, unprojected, whether a member or an administrator invokes it.
The generic data door answers 404 OBJECT_NOT_FOUND for the same name.

Why (read from source at `origin/main`)

packages/objectql/src/engine.ts:9207-9213, resolveObjectName: a name with a registered schema resolves through StorageNameMapping.resolveTableName(schema). Any other name falls through to StorageNameMapping.resolveTableName({ name }), so it is handed to the driver as a raw table name.
Every in-process guard keyed by a REGISTERED object name is therefore bypassed by spelling the target another way. That includes PR fix(runtime): a sandboxed body or an action handler reading the stored-metadata tables is served the data door's form (#21454) #21513's reader seam, which judges the family by name exactly as the door does.

Direction (⛔ not a ruling)

An in-process engine verb refuses a name the registry does not resolve, with the data door's own OBJECT_NOT_FOUND, rather than treating it as a table. The platform's internal readers that address tables directly would need a measured census first.

Dedupe

MCP search_issues, repo-scoped, open and closed: 「engine in-process verb unregistered object name passed to driver as raw table name bypasses guards resolveObjectName resolveTableName OBJECT_NOT_FOUND」 gave 10 hits, all closed and on other subjects (#21385, #20805, #21274, #20107, #19976, #18408, #14121, #11377, #8738, #8682). None covers this.

Dedupe words: unregistered object name reaches driver in-process engine verb; resolveObjectName unregistered raw table name; name-keyed guard bypass in-process find.

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `security` · `priority:p1` · `domain:engine` · `area:access` · `pm:queue`. An in-process verb refuses a name the registry does not resolve, as the door does

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-03T02:08Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

Why p1. It defeats every name-keyed in-process guard, including the p1 family seam that #21454's PR #21513 adds. Reach is measured at a public door with a member invoking.

Routing: packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, resolveObjectName, so domain:engine.

Ruling: one name space for the in-process verbs and the door.

An in-process engine verb resolves its target only through the registry. A name the registry does not resolve is refused with the data door's own not-found. ⛔ Never treat it as a raw table name.
A census comes first. The claim enumerates every platform-internal reader that addresses a table by a name the registry does not hold. Each one moves to a declared internal path that a body cannot reach. ⛔ No allow-list keyed by spelling.
If the census finds a legitimate internal reader that cannot move, the claim stops and reports.

Pins:

the measured exit, which now answers not-found for a member and an administrator;
a registered name as the control;
the [finding] [security] An action/automation body's object API and an action handler's engine handle read the stored-metadata family outside its body projection and keyed serve (reach NOT MEASURED) #21454 seam's pins stay green.

finding comes off in this act.

Worktree: objectstack-issue-21516
Domain: domain:engine
Seat: domain:engine#1 (seat post #6367)
File surface: census first, ⛔ no refusal before it exists (triage 5964437602).

The census: every platform-internal reader that hands an in-process engine verb a name the registry does not resolve (the resolveTableName({ name }) fall-through in resolveObjectName, packages/objectql/src/engine.ts about :9207 at origin/main ad7c351898), read across the repository and measured where a read is ambiguous. The PR records the census.
Then the engine: resolveObjectName and its in-process callers in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts refuse an unresolved name with the data door's own OBJECT_NOT_FOUND. ⛔ Never treat it as a raw table name. ⛔ No allow-list keyed by spelling.
Each census reader moves to a declared internal path a body cannot reach. Its call site joins this surface, named in the report. If a reader is in an open PR's file list, or cannot move, stop and report.
The pins' test files in packages/objectql, plus the measured public-door exit.

Revision 2 (after the seat's answer 5965797270, Q1 A with three corrections):

The factory: objectNotFoundError lives in @objectstack/core (src/utils/object-not-found.ts, exported from its entry), and both doors build the refusal from it.
The census readers moved:
- metadata-protocol: seed-loader.ts resolveSoleOrganizationId, and sys-metadata-repository.ts nextItemVersion / nextEventSeq;
- protocol.ts: only the data door's existence gate, which now builds from the factory.
The spec docblock: the IObjectQLEngine docblock in packages/spec/src/contracts/objectql-engine.ts, comment only.
The test migration: test files only, in objectql, runtime, and any package whose suite measures fallout (cli, services/**, plugins/**, rest), each named in the PR.
Stop rules:
- ⛔ If a PRODUCTION reader anywhere relies on the fall-through, stop and report.
- ⛔ No ADR text is edited.
- ⛔ No finding: after the #7598 Q1=B ruling, a read scope with a driver-refused field reference answers 400 from the driver — which cuts across #5367's attribution argument on that one path #7929-ruled pin changes what it asserts.

⛔ Not PR #21513's reader seam (#21454, landed at abe8f289e8): its pins stay green and its code is not edited. Stop on breach; explain in the report.
Container & model: M (a census with a conditional fix), mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate for engine.ts, floor sonnet · default opus · ceiling fable)
Clause-②: yes (narrowing)
Thread-read: 5964437602
Serial constraints cleared: read at 2026-10-03T03:09Z against origin/main ad7c351898. No open PR's file list carries packages/objectql/src/engine.ts. No other card of this lane holds resolveObjectName's region; #21470 (in flight) is in metadata and metadata-protocol. Clause-②: yes (narrowing) (revision 2): in-process verbs refuse names they accepted, and @objectstack/core gains the objectNotFoundError export. The at-tier contract review is owed before ACCEPT (the spec docblock, and Clause-② yes).

Seat answer to os-dev report 5965771442 (`needs_decision`): Q1 A, with three corrections

domain:engine#1 · session_01DDZNkDVwPQnevTFcYE47H3 · 2026-10-03T05:05Z. The seat re-read the following:

PR fix(objectql): an in-process engine verb refuses an object name the registry does not resolve (#21516) #21545 at 5e876116af: 7 files, +140/-41;
the case-B pin in packages/objectql/src/protocol-unregistered-object.test.ts on origin/main;
seed-loader.ts's seed-loader resolveSoleOrganizationId swallows every sys_organization read failure behind a comment naming one benign cause, so a transient outage silently seeds org-less rows #12852 block;
the three packages' declared dependencies;
the new @objectstack/core export, and recordNotFoundError's precedent named in its header.

Why the seat answers this rather than escalating:

Triage 5964437602 already ruled the product semantics: "an in-process engine verb resolves its target only through the registry … ⛔ Never treat it as a raw table name."
What is left is how far this PR carries the test surface that encodes the old mechanism. That is verification scope, a class the seat answers.
B cannot land: a PR whose own suites are red is not green, and a p1 security fix would wait behind a chore.
C is ruled out by the ruling, as the report says.
The maintainer can overrule; the card stays on this claim.

Governing text:

triage 5964437602 (the ruling, the census-first clause, the three pins);
references/contract-review.md (which surfaces owe the at-tier review);
.claude/skills/pm-dispatch/SKILL.md (four-axis framework, escalation classes).

What the "recorded decisions" are, read on origin/main:

曝露 gate 对未知对象放行所依赖的「data path 会 404」并不成立 —— findData 无存在性校验(#3545 同类前提) #3770's "the engine does not reject unregistered names": a description of the mechanism at that time, in a pin's header and in case B's last assertion ("the row really is reachable through the engine"). It is not a ruling. 曝露 gate 对未知对象放行所依赖的「data path 会 404」并不成立 —— findData 无存在性校验(#3545 同类前提) #3770's ruling is the data door's existence gate, which this PR keeps and now builds from the same factory.
- Case B's door assertion stays.
- Its engine assertion flips, by design, to the refusal, and the header's ② gets one sentence naming [finding] [security] An in-process engine verb passes an object name the registry does not resolve to the driver as a raw table name, so a sandboxed body reads a protected table by a name the data door refuses #21516.
seed-loader resolveSoleOrganizationId swallows every sys_organization read failure behind a comment naming one benign cause, so a transient outage silently seeds org-less rows #12852: the seed-loader rule that only the absence of sys_organization is benign, and every other read failure propagates. The PR keeps it.
- A refusal attributed to sys_organization on the error's own object is that same absence.
- A refusal naming another object, and every driver fault, still throw.
finding: after the #7598 Q1=B ruling, a read scope with a driver-refused field reference answers 400 from the driver — which cuts across #5367's attribution argument on that one path #7929: the maintainer ruling of 2026-08-12 (option B), that a cross-field refusal withholds its predicate. This PR does not touch what that ruling protects.

Answer: Q1 → A. Complete the migration in this PR.

Test files that encode the raw-table fall-through: assert the refusal where the probe of an unregistered name is deliberate. Register the stored-metadata family a harness writes through where the fall-through was incidental.
The runtime org-probe noise pins: reshape them to the new mechanism and keep each pin's subject. The probe stays quiet for an absent organization object, and a real fault still propagates.
The unmeasured packages: measure cli, services/**, plugins/** and rest by running their suites on the branch.
- Test-only fallout there is fixture triage, in this PR, named in its body.
- ⛔ If a PRODUCTION reader in any package relies on the fall-through, stop and report: that is triage's stop clause.
Stop rules:
- ⛔ No ADR text is edited. ADR-0053's type-blind lowering for a REGISTERED field-less object stays; if a sentence of any ADR becomes false, stop and report.
- ⛔ No pin under the finding: after the #7598 Q1=B ruling, a read scope with a driver-refused field reference answers 400 from the driver — which cuts across #5367's attribution argument on that one path #7929 ruling changes what it asserts about withholding.

Correction 1 — Clause-②: the line reads Clause-②: yes (narrowing), not the claim's no (narrowing).

@objectstack/core's entry gains objectNotFoundError, a new export on a published exports path, so the surface widens.
The accept set of the engine's in-process verbs narrows.
recordNotFoundError is the precedent for the factory's home (ADR-0076 D2's boundary ratchet), so the home is right.
Changesets:
- @objectstack/core: minor, Clause-②: yes;
- @objectstack/objectql: minor, with the BREAKING banner, Clause-②: no (narrowing), and an ADR-0087 disposition;
- @objectstack/metadata-protocol: its arm per what its diff publishes;
- @objectstack/spec, for the contract docblock: as the repository's rules grade a docblock that reaches dist.
Each changeset is true sentence by sentence.

Correction 2 — at-tier contract review: owed before the seat's ACCEPT, on two surfaces:

the diff touches packages/spec/src/contracts/objectql-engine.ts, a non-test file;
the PR declares Clause-② yes.

The seat runs it on the completed head.

Correction 3 — the closing line: when the migration is complete and the suites are green, the PR body's first line becomes Fixes #21516. Part of was right for the head the report left.

Pins, unchanged from triage:

the measured exit answers not-found for a member and an administrator;
a registered name is the control;
the [finding] [security] An action/automation body's object API and an action handler's engine handle read the stored-metadata family outside its body projection and keyed serve (reach NOT MEASURED) #21454 seam's pins stay green.

The census table stays in the PR body as reported.

Out of scope: the report's two findings are this PR's completion. They are not filed.

Next: a completion round on this claim and branch (claude/issue-21516-unresolved-name-refusal, PR #21545). The claim's file surface is revised to match this answer.

The write half now rides on this card too. PR #21563 (#21520, ruling A) refuses a sandboxed body's WRITE of the stored-metadata tables at the reader-context seam. Like the read seam (PR #21513 and PR #21539) and the generic data door, the refusal is keyed on the object NAME a body passes, judged by the family predicate.

The route this card carries applies to both halves the same way: a name the registry does not resolve reaches the driver as a raw table name. PR #21563's contract review of record (5967280729, PASS) names it, and agrees ⛔ no name normalisation belongs in the seam, because the engine is the one authority for a name. When this card's fix lands, the seam's write refusal is covered by it, with no change on this lane's side.

ACCEPT, pending the at-tier contract review — PR #21545 at head `6752a29827` · handed over for review and landing

domain:engine#1 · session_01DDZNkDVwPQnevTFcYE47H3 · read at 2026-10-03T10:05Z. On the maintainer's order this seat goes off shift once the development is done; the at-tier contract review is the director's. ⛔ This is not the contract review, and the PR is not ready until one PASSes on its head.

The seat's own read (the dev's completion-round report is not yet posted on this card; this read is of GitHub):

Shape: draft, base main, mergeable_state clean.
- The first body lines are Fixes #21516 and Clause-②: yes (narrowing), the seat's answer 5965797270, corrections 1 and 3. The body was patched at 2026-10-03T09:18Z.
- No other card number stands beside a closing keyword, and the Part of paragraph is gone.
- check-governed-merges.mjs --pr 21545: NOT governed; 1277 changed lines (+1065/-212) in 80 files.
CI on this head: 36 success. 5 skipped, all roster skips: Build Docs, Console Pin Gate, Packed-tarball smoke, Auto Label, Check PR Size. One stale red: the Part-of PR must not also close its card run from 2026-10-03T08:44Z, which re-ran at 2026-10-03T09:18Z after the body patch and is success.
The file surface: the claim's revision 2 (5964938685).
- The engine refusal is in objectql.
- The factory objectNotFoundError is in core (src/utils/object-not-found.ts and the entry).
- metadata-protocol holds the existence gate and the two readers.
- The spec change is the IObjectQLEngine.judgeFilter docblock, comment only.
- The test migration covers objectql (26 files), runtime (19), rest (14), plugins/*, services/service-settings, triggers/trigger-record-change, qa/* and cli, all test files.
The four changesets, checked sentence by sentence against the seat's answer:
- core: minor, Clause-②: yes, the new export objectNotFoundError. Its envelope is code, status, object and the door's message, and nothing that existed changes.
- objectql: minor, with the BREAKING banner, Clause-②: no (narrowing) and ADR-0087 not-required. It covers the eight verbs, the refusal before any hook, middleware or driver, judgeFilter unchanged, the org probe asking the registry first, and the driver path for host code.
- metadata-protocol: patch, Clause-②: no. The gate's bytes are unchanged, and the two readers treat a refusal of their own object as absence.
- spec: patch, Clause-②: no. The docblock ships in dist/*.d.ts.

Owed before landing — the at-tier contract review (director):

Why it is owed: the diff touches packages/spec/src/contracts/objectql-engine.ts (non-test), and the PR declares Clause-② yes. needs:contract-review is hung on PR fix(objectql): an in-process engine verb refuses an object name the registry does not resolve (#21516) #21545 in this act.
What it must judge:
- the new @objectstack/core export, with the precedent recordNotFoundError and ADR-0076 D2;
- the accept-set narrowing of the engine's in-process verbs, and the OBJECT_NOT_FOUND envelope's byte identity at the data door;
- the readers' absence rule (attributed on the error's own object; every other failure propagates, seed-loader resolveSoleOrganizationId swallows every sys_organization read failure behind a comment naming one benign cause, so a transient outage silently seeds org-less rows #12852);
- the test migration's reach: the 曝露 gate 对未知对象放行所依赖的「data path 会 404」并不成立 —— findData 无存在性校验(#3545 同类前提) #3770 case-B pin's engine assertion flips, and no finding: after the #7598 Q1=B ruling, a read scope with a driver-refused field reference answers 400 from the driver — which cuts across #5367's attribution argument on that one path #7929-ruled pin changes what it asserts;

Caretaker: the director seat (#12708), for the contract review and the landing. This seat's dev run on this branch, mode:subagent under session_01DDZNkDVwPQnevTFcYE47H3, may still post its completion-round os-dev-report here. Its readings are the dev's; the head above is what is reviewed.

Seat: the director seat, summon #32. It is the caretaker named in the handover 5968082941 ("the director seat (#12708), for the contract review and the landing"), and it acts on the maintainer's order in the live director chat, verbatim 「21545 契约复审，并跟进到合并」. The contract review is PASS (5969221098 on PR #21545).
File surface: the merge-queue failure only.

Merge origin/main into the branch, as a merge commit: fix(cli): the rest of the read-only data doors answer a project with no database yet with empty work (#21552) #21570 (fixing [finding] The rest of the read-only data-command family exits 1 on a project with no database yet: migrate account-issuer, audit-metadata-bodies, meta --stored, secret orphans and rewrap, storage orphans read tables their boot deferred #21552) and fix(cli,runtime): os migrate resume, recorded-by and value-shapes answer a project with no database yet with empty work #21550 landed after the PR's base 1ca1eb0972.
Reproduce packages/cli/src/commands/migrate/data-commands.absent-database.integration.test.ts › "[[finding] The rest of the read-only data-command family exits 1 on a project with no database yet: migrate account-issuer, audit-metadata-bodies, meta --stored, secret orphans and rewrap, storage orphans read tables their boot deferred #21552] the rest of the family: a project with no database yet is empty work, exit 0". In merge-queue run 37123511365 it exits 1 where 0 is pinned.
Fix it at the root, in the read-only data-command family's absent-database handling, or wherever the engine's new OBJECT_NOT_FOUND meets it. Keep fix(objectql): an in-process engine verb refuses an object name the registry does not resolve (#21516) #21545's absence rule: a refusal counts as absence only when it is attributed on the error's own object, and every other failure propagates (seed-loader resolveSoleOrganizationId swallows every sys_organization read failure behind a comment naming one benign cause, so a transient outage silently seeds org-less rows #12852).
Pins, plus a changeset sentence if a published package's behaviour moves.

⛔ No weakened or skipped test. ⛔ No widening of the engine refusal.
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus
Clause-②: yes (narrowing), carried from the PR.
Thread-read: 5968082941
Serial constraints cleared: read 2026-10-03T13:06Z. domain:engine#1 (session_01DDZNkDVwPQnevTFcYE47H3) handed the landing over in 5968082941 and is off shift. domain:cli's pointer 5967297021 (PR #21563) rides on this engine refusal and is unchanged.

"summary": "Merged origin/main (901e7cf, which carries #21570 for #21552) into the PR branch as merge commit b5cec3d. The merge was clean and left no pending regeneration. The three queue failures reproduced locally, and all three were os migrate account-issuer: the absent-database --json case, the human case, and the booted control. Each exited 1 with the document {"error":"Cannot enumerate sys_account: Object 'sys_account' not found. Refusing rather than reporting an unread table as clean.","code":"RESOURCE_CONFLICT"}. That is the engine's new OBJECT_NOT_FOUND for sys_account, which this command's read-only boot does not register because it composes no auth plugin, wrapped by the probe's own refusal. The fix is in packages/cli/src/commands/migrate/account-issuer.ts only (commits ffc0e5b and 2df18ea, head 2df18ea). The pre-flight now reads sys_account through the driver the engine routes that name to (getDriverForObject, the host-code path the objectql changeset prescribes) instead of the engine's find. #21570's mechanism for this table is kept unchanged: the driver's missing-table refusal, recognised with the shared isMissingTableError for sys_account only, reads as no rows, and every other failure still becomes the probe's refusal. A missing driver is also a refusal, never a clean report. CHOICE, per the ruling zone: neither of the two named options fits this door. (1) 'Not asked' cannot apply: the boot cannot measure an unregistered table, so tableAbsent('sys_account') is false on every database. (2) Treating the attributed OBJECT_NOT_FOUND as absence would be wrong: in this composition the refusal says only that the boot registers no sys_account, and nothing about the database. Read as absence, it answers the booted control (2 rows) as 0 and reports a table full of accounts as 'Pre-flight clean', which authorises the destructive issuer drop. The command also inventories the physical table in its legacy shape: issuer is the very column the registered sys_account schema no longer declares. So the read belongs on the driver, not on the engine's registry. The engine refusal and the readers' absence rule are untouched, and no test was edited, skipped or weakened. No changeset sentence was added: the cli's observable answers are byte-for-byte the ones main gives, as the #21552 pins (written against main) measure, and no other published package moved. PR body is not edited (dev writes it once). Suggested sentence for the seat to add: 'Merge-queue fix: os migrate account-issuer reads sys_account through the driver the engine routes that name to, because its read-only boot registers no sys_account and the engine now refuses an unregistered name; the refusal is not read as absence, which would report a table full of accounts as a clean pre-flight.' The worktree has been removed.",
"tests": "All runs are at head 2df18ea unless noted, and all heavy runs went through os-verify-lock. (1) REPRODUCTION at merge b5cec3d: pnpm exec vitest run --project integration --maxWorkers=2 src/commands/migrate/data-commands.absent-database.integration.test.ts in packages/cli -> 'Tests 3 failed | 33 passed (36)'. The failures were x 'migrate account-issuer --json: empty work, exit 0, no refused read of its own tables', x 'migrate account-issuer (human): exit 0 on the empty-work sentence' and x 'migrate account-issuer: the control, a booted database, is READ and its row reported'. A direct run, node bin/run-dev.js migrate account-issuer --json --database-url file:ABSENT, gave EXIT=1 with the OBJECT_NOT_FOUND-wrapped document quoted in summary. (2) AFTER: the same file gives 'Test Files 1 passed (1) / Tests 36 passed (36)', VERDICT command-exit 0. The direct run gives EXIT=0 with {scanned:0, keys:0, collisions:[], ok:true} and the stderr line 'sys_account has no table in this database yet ...'. (3) ABLATION, through node scripts/ablation-replace.mjs WRAP under the lock. Anchor 'return await driver.find(object, query);' x1 -> x0, replaced by a read through the engine's find (the pre-fix reader). Blob bfc270d279f1 -> def23a1578cf, and on-disk grep counts mutation 1 / anchor 0. Result: the same 3 account-issuer cases red, 'Tests 3 failed | 33 passed (36)', direction red as predicted. Restore: blob after restore bfc270d279f1 == HEAD blob, git diff HEAD empty, independently re-read with git status --porcelain (empty) and git hash-object (bfc270d279f1...). The subject runs from src through tsx (bin/run-dev.js), so no dist leg applies. (4) cli unit tier: vitest run --project unit gave 251 passed plus 2 PREREQUISITE NOT MET (published-subpath-console and -hook-body pins need cli dist). After pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli build those 2 gave 'Test Files 2 passed / Tests 29 passed'. Unit total: 253/253 files, 3689 tests passed, 29 pre-existing skips. (5) cli typecheck: pnpm typecheck (tsc --noEmit plus check:test-typecheck OK), exit 0. (6) cli integration siblings: resume.recorded-by, preview-read-only, plan.deferred-reads, schema-migrate.one-shot-family (drives account-issuer), schema-migrate.readonly-probe, duplicates, meta.stored-flow-resolution gave 'Test Files 7 passed / Tests 101 passed | 1 skipped'. The skip is the pre-existing env-gated live-dialect cell. Main's new artifact-flag-precedence and package-install-local-uninstall-cleanups, plus schema-migrate.host-composition and test/exit-signal.pin (drives account-issuer with a fake engine), gave 'Test Files 4 passed / Tests 149 passed'. The nightly-tier e2e files json-stdout-purity (account-issuer member) and migrate-apply-refuses-before-ddl, run with OS_TEST_TIERS=nightly, gave 'Test Files 2 passed / Tests 57 passed'. (7) packages/objectql full: 'Test Files 367 passed (367) / Tests 7384 passed'. packages/metadata-protocol full: 'Test Files 207 passed | 3 skipped (210) / Tests 3192 passed | 19 skipped'. (8) Overlap with main's merged tests: cloud-connection install-local-uninstall cleanups and withdrawal (2 files / 14 tests); rest public-form intake, routes and withdrawal (4 / 62); runtime stored-metadata-body boundary, pin and writes (3 / 25); metadata-core anonymous-form-intake (1 / 13). All passed. (9) GATES: node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands derived 98 commands over the PR's 81 paths, and all 98 were run sequentially with exit codes recorded. --ran reconciliation: '98 derived, 96 run, 2 NOT-MEASURED (DERIVED from a recorded exit 3)'. 95 exited 0. NOT MEASURED: check:dual-build-cjs-loads, reason PREREQUISITE NOT MET (dist absent for studio, client-react and 7 other packages outside the cli closure). NOT MEASURED: check:i18n-coverage, reason partial round, exit 3. NOT MEASURED: check-engine-split-ratio --days 90, exit 2, reason the shallow clone's oldest commit (2026-08-31) sits inside the 90-day window and the gate refuses. (10) LINT, narrowed: eslint --no-inline-config --format json packages/cli/src/commands/migrate/account-issuer.ts gave 1 file (count read from the json output), 0 errors, 0 warnings. The file is in eslint's population (--print-config exit 0, not reported ignored). Invariance: eslint.config.mjs sets no parserOptions.project, so type-aware linting is off and this diff cannot move any untouched file's verdict. Full pnpm lint is CI's.
