[Decision] flows and records: may a flow start input declare a record reference (A), and does a non-system create stop choosing the new record's id (C)? #29425
Ruled: 6663860762 · letter A + C0 (C withdrawn) · 2026-11-05T16:47Z (supersedes 6580257050)
Filing gate: ② a decision only the maintainer can make. It is a follow-up to #29050 (closed) and PR #29365 (merged dfbe34d887), handled under ruling C. This card states rules only. The seat holds the reasoning in the project and gives it to the maintainer there, not here. Filed by domain:server seat 5. ⛔ Not a claim. Suggested grade: p2.
Maintainer quick-read
PR #29365 made every door that starts a flow by name check a start input that the flow definition visibly reads as a record id. The check loads the record with the caller's own permissions before the run exists. It covers only inputs the definition reads that way in plain sight. Two further rules would make the check complete. Each one is a product choice, so the seat does not pick for you.

Work
A — declared record reference
A flow start input may declare "this is the id of a record of object X". Every start door then checks a declared input the same way #29365 checks a visible read: loaded with the caller's permissions, before the run exists.
Flow authors gain one optional key. Flows that don't use it behave as today.
domain:spec key first (1 PR), then domain:server doors (1 PR). Precedent: PR #29365, 967 lines in 8 files.
C — engine-chosen ids on create
When a non-system caller creates a record, the platform chooses the new record's id. A caller-supplied id is refused with 400 naming id. System callers (import, migrate, seed, platform services) keep choosing ids.
API and SDK clients that send their own id on create start failing loudly. This is BREAKING (narrowing). Not yet measured: which shipped clients, connectors or examples send an id today. The PR measures that first.

A + C (seat recommends)
Both.
Both of the above.
3 PRs, spec first.
Neither
Keep #29365's rule as shipped: only visibly read inputs are checked.
Nobody.
None.
Why A + C: A extends the shipped rule to every input an author declares. C removes a whole class of question at the source, rather than checking each consumer. Both are rules a reader can state in one sentence.
Protocol: A adds a key (Clause-②: yes (widening), Metadata-protocol: added, spec lane). C narrows an accept set (Clause-②: no (narrowing), BREAKING, ADR-0087 marker).
State: needs-user-decision. The seat dispatches the ruled letter privately under ruling C. Public PRs state the rule only.
C — engine-chosen ids on create. When a non-system caller creates a record, the platform chooses the id; a caller-supplied id is refused 400 naming id. "System caller" means the system identity only (runAs: system, import, migrate, seed, platform services). An administrator account is a non-system caller and is refused the same way. The refusal names the alternative: upsert by a declared external key.
C: domain:server one PR, BREAKING banner, ADR-0087 marker, full dogfood. Before it lands, its body states the measurement the card promised: which shipped clients, connectors, examples and Console paths send an id on create today. If that measurement finds a shipped caller sending ids, those callers move first and C lands after them.
Execution
Server seat 5 dispatches under rule C as the card says: public surfaces state the rule only.
Confidence gaps carried from the brief: the private security reasoning behind C was not read by this seat; the population of id-sending clients is unmeasured until the C PR measures it.

"A: C stands. A superseding ADR-0120 amendment (Tier H, draft) lands with the code. The import runner moves first, server-only: its own minted ids are admitted through an in-process platform mark that no request can carry, and a file-supplied id on a create row is refused per row with 400 naming id. Existing-row round trips keep working, because an update matched on id is not a create. Clone overrides.id and the batch upsert create arm are refused too, so a by-id upsert becomes: update a readable row, otherwise 400. The refusal names the import door's upsert (writeMode 'upsert' + matchFields) as the alternative. Work: ADR amendment PR plus one server PR (objectql insert door, core import runner, forced dogfood edits, http-protocol.mdx text). BREAKING, no landed precedent.",
"B: A, plus a real external-key upsert on the API. The batch upsert reads its declared externalId against a declared key field, so the refusal names a door on the same surface. Adds a spec-lane card (the field flag's meaning) and a server PR, landed before the C door.",

Order: the ADR-0120 amendment and the spec-lane card for the external-key upsert first, then the server PR that makes the batch upsert read its key, then the C PR (import runner moves, insert door refuses).

Needs decision · #29425 letter C · 2026-11-02T15:23Z
Ruling 6580257050 told the C PR to measure first, and to move any shipped caller that sends an id on create before C lands. The dev's measurement (report 6580899246, static reading on maina6441636) found three stop conditions, so letter C returns to the maintainer. Letter A is unaffected: spec #29442 proceeds.
What stopped it (read in the report and spot-checked by the seat in the ADR text):
A shipped caller. The shared import runner creates rows with an id as the requester. That covers POST /data/:object/import, import jobs, the Console Import wizard and the SDK import. Clone (overrides.id) and the batch-upsert create arm do the same.
An accepted ADR says the opposite. ADR-0120's amendment of 2026-11-01 (maintainer 「同意」) states that every create door accepts a caller-supplied id, and it lists this exact refusal as a rejected option, with a bar for reopening it: import round trips must keep working without an exemption that reopens the door. Two dogfood files and http-protocol.mdx pin that contract. C would need a superseding ADR amendment (Tier H).
The named alternative doesn't exist on the API. The batch upsert declares externalId but keys on id only, and the field-level externalId flag is described as not read. The only key-matched upsert a non-system caller has is the import door, which is caller 1.
Options (maintainer):

C0 — withdraw C (seat recommends)
Keep ADR-0120 as amended: a caller-supplied id is accepted, and a collision answers 409. Letter A still lands.
Nobody.
None on this letter
A′ — C with the ADR amendment
A superseding ADR-0120 amendment. The import runner moves first: its own ids carry an in-process platform mark, and a file id on a create row is refused per row. Clone and the by-id upsert create arm are refused. The refusal names the import upsert as the alternative.
Import files that carry ids for new rows, clone, and API clients keyed by their own ids.
ADR PR (Tier H) + 1 server PR, BREAKING, no precedent
B′ — A′ plus an API external-key upsert first (the dev recommends this)
The batch upsert reads a declared external key, so the refusal names a door on the same surface.
Same as A′, but API clients keep a keyed path.
Spec card + 2 server PRs + ADR PR
Why the seat recommends C0: the maintainer amended ADR-0120 to accept caller ids one day before this ruling, against the same bar the ruling now meets. Letter A plus the shipped rule (#29365) already judge every input a flow reads as a record, as the caller, so C is defence in depth rather than the fix. A′ and B′ break import, clone and by-id upsert for a gain the flow-door rule already covers. If the long-term identity model should be engine-chosen ids, B′ is the honest shape, but as its own ADR-level project, not a follow-up to this card.
A second question is moot under C0. Under A′ or B′: does a context-less engine insert (no principal, not isSystem) count as a system caller? The dev and the seat both say no, read literally, which is ADR-0096 D5's fail-closed direction.
State: pm:dispatched → needs-user-decision. The card thread stays parked on claude/project-thread-li91rx with no diff.

The maintainer answered batch 1 of the 总监决裁 presentation in the project thread (five cards, one recommendation each) with 「29029 29425 29918 30461 29466 同意」, read as the recommended letter on every card. Presentation: /mnt/project-files/director-batch/2026-11-05-batch-1.md (project files). ⛔ Not a claim.
What the ruling binds
This answers the re-escalation 6580937975 on letter C.
C is withdrawn (C0). ADR-0120's 2026-11-01 amendment stands as written. Every create door accepts a caller-supplied id, a fresh one lands as given, and a collision answers 409 UNIQUE_VIOLATION, the same for every visibility of the holder. The C half of ruling 6580257050 is superseded. Its A half is not.
The second question in the dev report (is a context-less insert a system caller?) is moot under C0.
Not A′ or B′: both break id-preserving import, clone and by-id upsert today. If the platform ever moves to engine-chosen ids plus a declared external-key upsert, that is its own ADR-level project, not a follow-up to this card.
Workload of the letter
C0: none. The C card thread (claude/project-thread-li91rx, no diff) closes with no PR. A's server half: one domain:server PR, precedent PR #29365 (967 lines / 8 files).

The domain:server seat dispatches A's server half; label strokes are the lane seat's.
Claim: PM loop round 14 — letter A, server half (ruling 6663860762; C withdrawn, its thread closes with no PR)..

(3) 'Upsert by a declared external key' does not exist for an API caller: the batch upsert declares externalId but keys on id only, and the field externalId flag is described as not read; the only key-matched upsert a non-system caller has is the import door (writeMode 'upsert' + matchFields), which is caller (1).

The import runner moves first, server-only: its own minted ids are admitted through an in-process platform mark that no request can carry, and a file-supplied id on a create row is refused per row with 400 naming id. Existing-row round trips keep working, because an update matched on id is not a create. Clone overrides.id and the batch upsert create arm are refused too, so a by-id upsert becomes: update a readable row, otherwise 400. The refusal names the import door's upsert (writeMode 'upsert' + matchFields) as the alternative. Work: ADR amendment PR plus one server PR (objectql insert door, core import runner, forced dogfood edits, http-protocol.mdx text). BREAKING, no landed precedent.", "B: A, plus a real external-key upsert on the API.

Order: the ADR-0120 amendment and the spec-lane card for the external-key upsert first, then the server PR that makes the batch upsert read its key, then the C PR (import runner moves, insert door refuses).

Needs decision · #29425 letter C · 2026-11-02T15:23Z
Ruling 6580257050 told the C PR to measure first, and to move any shipped caller that sends an
idon create before C lands. The dev's measurement (report 6580899246, static reading onmaina6441636) found three stop conditions, so letter C returns to the maintainer. Letter A is unaffected: spec #29442 proceeds.What stopped it (read in the report and spot-checked by the seat in the ADR text):
POST /data/:object/import, import jobs, the Console Import wizard and the SDK import. Clone (overrides.id) and the batch-upsert create arm do the same.id, and it lists this exact refusal as a rejected option, with a bar for reopening it: import round trips must keep working without an exemption that reopens the door. Two dogfood files andhttp-protocol.mdxpin that contract. C would need a superseding ADR amendment (Tier H).externalIdbut keys onidonly, and the field-levelexternalIdflag is described as not read. The only key-matched upsert a non-system caller has is the import door, which is caller 1.Options (maintainer):
Why the seat recommends C0: the maintainer amended ADR-0120 to accept caller ids one day before this ruling, against the same bar the ruling now meets. Letter A plus the shipped rule (#29365) already judge every input a flow reads as a record, as the caller, so C is defence in depth rather than the fix. A′ and B′ break import, clone and by-id upsert for a gain the flow-door rule already covers. If the long-term identity model should be engine-chosen ids, B′ is the honest shape, but as its own ADR-level project, not a follow-up to this card.
A second question is moot under C0. Under A′ or B′: does a context-less engine insert (no principal, not
isSystem) count as a system caller? The dev and the seat both say no, read literally, which is ADR-0096 D5's fail-closed direction.State:
