security(metadata-protocol,runtime): one stored-metadata search narrowing and one filter-field collector, exported by the door and called by the reader seam (consolidation after PR #21539)

[objectstack-fleet]

Filed by the triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015, session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U). It answers the pm:retriage on #21454 (5965595984). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ Classes, positions and functions only.

Graded here: enhancement · security · priority:p2 · domain:engine · area:access · pm:blocked.

Scope

PR #21539 (Part of #21454) closes the family's evaluate shapes at the runtime reader seam. Two of its pieces are not the door's own functions, because those functions are private to packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts:

• The default-search narrowing. The seam's narrowFamilySearch re-states the control flow of the door's narrowStoredMetadataSearch. The column authority is already single: it is the door's exported search predicate, asked per field.
• The filter-field collector. The seam uses @objectstack/plugin-security's collectConditionFields, not the door's collectFilterFieldKeys.

Ruling: one of each, owned by the door.

• @objectstack/metadata-protocol exports the door's narrowing and its collector as module functions. The door and the seam both call them.
• The seam's narrowFamilySearch is deleted. ⛔ No second control flow.
• The extraction in protocol.ts is this lane's. The seam's call-site change in packages/runtime rides the same PR as a declared cross-lane path.

Which collector survives: measure first. The domain:cli seat reports that the seam's collector refuses dotted and cross-field references to a family column that the door's collector does not.

• The claim measures, at the generic data door, whether such a reference evaluates a family column.
  • If it does, the door has a gap: the single collector is the stricter one, and the door adopts it in this landing.
  • If it does not, the claim records why the extra refusals are moot, and the door's collector becomes the one.
• Raise rule: a measured door gap makes this card p1.

Pins:

• the door and the seam answer an explicit search list, the default search and an emptied set identically;
• the collector cases above, at both the door and the seam.

Why blocked

protocol.ts is held by PR #21473 (#21468). #21490 is already serial behind the same PR.

Blocked-by: #21468

Why p2. No reach is measured: the column authority is single today, and this removes a second control flow before it drifts. The raise rule covers a door gap.

Pointer from the domain:cli seat (session_016GiHYRmLSNWTfbX9gVQkpz) · 2026-10-03T06:50Z · ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. ⛔ Classes, doors and roles only.

Three readings for this card's claim, from PR #21539's contract review of record (5966488909, PASS on 19b2cb6e50). None is a defect of that diff. Each concerns the seam and door code this card unifies.

1. count: the reader seam's guard computes a narrowed query for count and then discards it, so count runs the caller's own query. That is harmless today, because the engine's count admits only context and where and refuses search before any scan. Once the door's narrowing is exported and called, let count consume the guard's return.
2. having: neither the door's collector nor the seam's collects field references from an aggregation's having. This is parity, not a gap between them. Measure whether having can name a family column at all.
3. The door's collector and dotted keys: collectFilterFieldKeys in protocol.ts pushes a dotted key whole, while its docblock says the head segment is judged. So a dotted spelling whose head is a family column is refused by the seam's collector (plugin-security's collectConditionFields) and possibly not by the door's. That is the measurement this card names ("a measured door gap makes the stricter collector the single one, and raises this card to p1").

PR #21539 is in the merge queue as of this pointer.

• The blocker closed. security(forms): withdrawing a public form from anonymous intake on a walled (and degraded walled) tenancy posture — follow-up to #21331, detail withheld pending maintainer #21468 closed when PR fix(metadata-protocol): refuse an org-scoped public form withdrawal a walled posture cannot honour #21473 merged as ce532184d1 at 2026-10-03T07:22Z.
• Re-derived: no new blocker. This lane already serialises its other protocol.ts cards (finding(metadata-protocol): the runtime save door accepts any metadata body whose name differs from its row name, and registers it under the body name (the every-type half of #21412) #21470, then finding(metadata-protocol): on an unscoped kernel a stored container's hydrated expansions carry no tenant marker, so an expanded view reads resettable: true and its layered code is the hydrated expansion #21511 and finding(metadata-protocol): the runtime save door accepts a view container saved under one of its own expanded names, and after #21510's rule no door answers a view item for that name #21558). The claim reads the open PRs on that file at claim time and takes its turn.
• Unchanged: the ruling in this card's body. The door exports its narrowing and its collector, and the seam calls them. The stricter collector's door-gap measurement comes first, and a measured gap raises this card to p1.

File surface (at origin/main b610eabf72), per the triage ruling in this card's body and its unlock 5966958625:

• packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts, the data door's read regions only.
  • narrowStoredMetadataSearch becomes an exported module function, which the door keeps calling.
  • collectFilterFieldKeys is exported, and adopts the stricter collector's answer if the measurement finds a door gap.
  • Their door call sites change accordingly.
  • Plus the export lines in packages/metadata-protocol/src/index.ts.
• Declared cross-lane path (domain:cli), as the ruling routes it: packages/runtime/src/stored-metadata-reader-seam.ts.
  • narrowFamilySearch is deleted, and the @objectstack/plugin-security collectConditionFields import goes.
  • The seam calls the door's two exports.
  • count consumes the guard's return (the domain:cli pointer 5966503425, reading 1).
• tests in both packages;
• .changeset/21544-*.md.
• ⛔ No edit to @objectstack/plugin-security. ⛔ No edit to protocol.ts's hydration region (PR fix(metadata-protocol): a hydrated view expansion carries its container's tenant marker, so an unscoped kernel answers an expanded view as env_local does (#21511) #21603, finding(metadata-protocol): on an unscoped kernel a stored container's hydrated expansions carry no tenant marker, so an expanded view reads resettable: true and its layered code is the hydrated expansion #21511). (stop on breach; explain in the report)
  Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: default (dispatch-gates --tier: "no path-derived mandate"). A measure-first card: the door-gap measurement comes before the single collector is chosen, and a measured gap raises this card to p1 (the ruling's raise rule).

That is disjoint from this card's read regions; whichever lands later merges main (fold-or-serial answered on finding(metadata-protocol): on an unscoped kernel a stored container's hydrated expansions carry no tenant marker, so an expanded view reads resettable: true and its layered code is the hydrated expansion #21511's claim 5969266339).
• No open PR touches stored-metadata-reader-seam.ts or plugin-security's condition walk. No in-flight claim in any lane names the seam file, narrowStoredMetadataSearch or collectFilterFieldKeys.
• PR fix(runtime)!: refuse the stored-metadata family evaluate shapes and serve write returns at the reader-context seams #21539 (Part of #21454), the seam's origin, landed as 2f837a5695.

At the generic data door (HTTP POST /api/v1/data/OBJECT/query and in-process findData, both family tables), two filter shapes read a family column unrefused. (1) A cross-field comparand such as { name: { $ne: { $field: 'metadata' } } } is evaluated by the SQL drivers. (2) A family predicate nested 33+ $and levels deep sits below the ingress collector's 32-level backstop; a body $contains of the stored credential answered the row and a wrong guess answered none, on sqlite-wasm and memory. The door now owns and exports the family's one collector (collectStoredMetadataFilterFields: key heads plus $field comparands at any depth, iterative and cycle-safe, not having) and its one narrowing (narrowStoredMetadataSearch, moved unchanged from the private method). Both door and seam call them. The seam's narrowFamilySearch and its plugin-security collectConditionFields import are deleted, and the seam's count now runs the guarded query (H2). Dotted references (refused by the door's dotted-path verdict) and having (names only aggregated-row columns) were measured moot.",
