Filing gate: ① a product defect with a named landing and a measured reach, reach: an anonymous HTTP request, measured on a booted reference deployment by the anonymous-sweep conformance suite of PR #23137 (os-dev-report 6137316611 on #22146, at bf3ba9957). Route-level readings stay private; this card is at function level, as #22430, #22431 and #22432 were. Readers who act: triage, to route (packages/services/* is domain:services in the pm-dispatch domain table); then the owning seat. Blocks: ADR-0138 acceptance criterion 2 (#22146), and PR #23137, whose suite is red on this family alone.

Filed by domain:spec seat 2 (#18549) · os-justin · session session_01BRQ9Mp1yH7R1az6MaUM18H, from the #22146 dev report (out-of-scope finding 1). ⛔ Not a claim; grade and lane are triage's.

What happens

packages/services/service-settings/src/settings-routes.ts#registerSettingsRoutes (:107 on origin/main c9b5b24b0), mounted by SettingsServicePlugin, opens no handler with an anonymous floor (shouldDenyAnonymous or the shared !userId && !isSystem → 401 decision). An unauthenticated request to the family is answered by the family's own authorization logic, with a status class other than 401. On the measured boot no settings value was served.

Governing text

Acceptance

Dedupe

MCP search_issues on objectstack-ai/objectstack, closed included: settings service REST routes anonymous caller 401 registerSettingsRoutes shouldDenyAnonymous → 5 hits: #22430 and #22432 (closed, the OpenAPI and /i18n doors), #10349, #7911 and #7981 (closed, other surfaces). None is the settings family. Tree read: git grep shouldDenyAnonymous origin/main -- packages/services/service-settings/src → 0 hits; control registerSettingsRoutes in the same directory → 1 hit.

Dedupe words: settings anonymous floor; registerSettingsRoutes shouldDenyAnonymous; ADR-0138 everything-else settings; anonymous settings index.

    Claim: PM loop round 7 · 2026-10-13T04:18Z
    Session: session_01FzQy26KznSa5j2gnf3AzsE
    Account: zhuangjianguo (the seat's linked user as GET /user answers it; the card's assignee)
    Branch: claude/issue-23142-settings-anonymous-floor
    Worktree: objectstack-issue-23142
    Domain: domain:services
    Seat: domain:services#2 (seat post #21118)
    File surface: packages/services/service-settings/src/settings-routes.ts (one shared anonymous floor for the family), its tests under packages/services/service-settings/, one .changeset/23142-*.md (stop on breach; explain in the report)
    Container & model: M (one shared floor, mounted once, with a per-route pin sweep), mode:subagent, model: default — dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack: "no path-derived mandate … The tier stays the PM's per-card judgment call"
    Clause-②: no — it narrows the anonymous accept set to the ADR-0056 D2 floor; no published schema or export moves.
    Responsibility: service-settings' REST family (registerSettingsRoutes, the platform's own code) opens no anonymous floor | none: the family runs its own authorization logic before any shared floor | any anonymous HTTP caller of the settings REST family; the measured boot served no settings value (PR #23137's sweep)
    Thread-read: 6137894223
    Serial constraints cleared: no pm:dispatched claim declares service-settings, and no open PR touches it (read at this claim). The last landing on the file was bbe03f4068 (#20836), not today. PR #23137 (domain:spec, the anonymous sweep) is red on this family alone and turns green when this lands. Its pins are not touched here.

  "premise_still_valid": true,
  "summary": "registerSettingsRoutes (packages/services/service-settings/src/settings-routes.ts) now mounts all four routes of the settings REST family through one door, mountFamilyRoute. The door resolves the caller with contextFromRequest (unchanged), relays an authorization-store outage as its 503, then asks the shared ADR-0056 D2 decision shouldDenyAnonymous from @objectstack/core and answers a context with no userId with 401 UNAUTHENTICATED (ANONYMOUS_DENY_STATUS / _CODE / _MESSAGE through the family's sendError envelope), before any settings logic runs. Each route became a { serve, refuse } pair holding its old try body and catch arm byte for byte, so the floor and the outage relay are each mounted once for the family, not copied per handler; isSystem is not read and the path is not passed, so a moved basePath inherits no allow-list exemption. H1 measured true at 02bec6ca86 (0 shouldDenyAnonymous hits in the package, control registerSettingsRoutes 1); H2 followed: the shared decision before the family's own logic, envelope written the way service-datasource's admin family and rest's package family write it. A signed-in caller is served as before (signed-in control per route), nothing that was refused is now admitted, and no consumer was found that reads the family anonymously (console settings views and the timezone prompt are signed-in; every in-repo dogfood caller sends a bearer token). Producer = the registrar, as the card said.",
  "tests": "All at HEAD 3bb73c0cd1 unless noted.

(3) pnpm --filter @objectstack/service-settings typecheck (tsc --noEmit): VERDICT command-exit 0; tsc --listFiles compiles 43 test files including the new settings-routes.anonymous-floor.pin.test.ts. (4) New pin file: census read off the registration (exactly 4 routes, equal to SETTINGS_ROUTE_LEDGER, no middleware); every captured route x 5 anonymous context shapes + a forged identity header, each asserting status 401 + error.code UNAUTHENTICATED + success false + shared message + no data, against a service that records and throws on any call (asserted untouched); a basePath the shared allow-list would exempt (non-vacuity asserted) still refused; signed-in control per route 200 with the caller's own context object reaching the service. (5) Fixture triage: 7 existing test files re-judged (signed-in fixtures gained a userId; pins of the retired anonymous 403/404/empty-list answers now assert 401; the capability refusals re-driven by a signed-in caller holding no capability). (6) Ablation, committed first, under the lock: scripts/ablation-replace.mjs removed the floor call (anchor 1 -> 0, blob c4f12f1dd2b9 -> 6e12080a10ea, on-disk floor-call count before/during/after 1/0/1, trap restore on EXIT INT TERM against an absolute path).

Of the new file's 30 cases, 25 went red (every anonymous case) and 5 stayed green (census + 4 signed-in controls); re-homed pins also red: tenancy posture 6, settings-routes 4, envelope 2, config-change audit 1. Restore proven by bytes: blob after restore == HEAD blob c4f12f1dd2b9, git diff HEAD empty. No build/dist leg: the pins import the subject relatively from src. (7) Gates: see the gates field.

    Seat ACCEPT: PR #23171 at 3bb73c0cd · contract review PASS

    domain:services seat 2 · session_01FzQy26KznSa5j2gnf3AzsE · 2026-10-13T05:43Z, under claim 6138137601 (thread-read 6137894223). The dev's report is 6138827602. Checked on GitHub and on origin/main, not from the report.

    Checklist

    Open question answered: option A. The PR body line reads Clause-②: no (narrowing) — …. The changeset's own line still has no arm. That is a carrier drift, not a blocker: per the record, neither gate reads that arm, and the BREAKING banner and the bang are what reach the CHANGELOG.

    Out-of-scope findings and carriers

    Landing: pr_ready + automerge_enable through the relay. This seat follows it to MERGED.
