fix(schema): resolve main-spec reads against the store-aware root - #1703
Conversation
The spec-driven `specs` instruction named
`openspec/specs/<capability-path>/spec.md` — a cwd-relative path — for the
two operations that touch a capability's main spec: step 1 of the MODIFIED
workflow ("locate the existing requirement") and the edit that fixes a
leftover TBD Purpose.
When the change lives in a registered store, the main spec is under the
store root. Verified against one: `openspec instructions specs --store
mystore --json` returns `planningHome.root` pointing at the store while the
instruction sent the read to the working repo, where the capability does
not exist. Where a local capability happens to share the name it is worse
than a miss — the read succeeds against a different capability and step 2
copies the wrong requirement block into the delta, silently.
Both now use `<planningHome.root>/openspec/specs/...`, the root the same
JSON already returns, matching what sync-specs.ts and archive-change.ts
have said since they were written: use the store-aware root, not a
hardcoded repo path.
Guidance text only — no CLI, parser, or archive behavior changes. The two
remaining `openspec/specs/` mentions describe the shape of a capability
path rather than a file operation, and are left alone.
Closes #1702

…solves Two hardening findings. The wording said the root "points at the store when a store is selected." Verified across all four root configurations, that undersells it: a project `store:` pointer (source `declared`) and a global default store (source `global_default`) both resolve to the store with no `--store` flag passed. An agent reading the old sentence could conclude the case did not apply to it and fall back to a repo-relative path. It now says to always use the field and not to reason about which case applies. The test only pinned the placeholder text, which would still pass if `planningHome.root` were renamed or the suffix were wrong. Added a guard that substitutes the placeholder with a real resolved planning home and asserts the composed path lands on an actual main spec. Mutation-tested: inserting a path segment and renaming the field each fail it. Verified end to end that the composed path exists under all three store-selecting configurations, and under a plain local repo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The guard substituted `planningHome.root` into a template spelled with forward slashes. On Windows that yields a mixed-separator path, so the assertion passed because Node accepts forward slashes there rather than because the path was built correctly. Windows CI was green either way; this makes the construction right instead of merely tolerated. The suffix is now captured on its own and joined to the root with path.join, so the assertion uses native separators everywhere. All three mutations (cwd-relative path, extra segment, renamed field) still fail the guard. Addresses CodeRabbit review on #1703. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixed in 9f47c02 — the finding was valid. The guard substituted The suffix is now captured on its own and joined with Re-ran all three mutations against the rewritten guard to confirm it still bites — cwd-relative path, extra path segment, and renamed field each fail it; restored, 3 pass. Full suite unchanged at 3970 passed with the two pre-existing environment-specific failures. |

Risk: low. Two lines of guidance text. No code changes.
What was wrong
The
specsinstruction namedopenspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md— a path relative to the current directory — for the two operations that read a capability's main spec. When the change lives in a store, the main spec is under the store root, so that path doesn't point at it.Two outcomes, and the second is the dangerous one:
What changes
Both operations now use
<planningHome.root>/openspec/specs/..., with a sentence saying where that value comes from.Why it's safe
This isn't a new convention — it's the one the workflow templates already use (
sync-specs.ts:44). The schema instruction was simply the site that was missed.Proof
Verified against a real registered store:
openspec instructions specs --store mystore --jsonreturns the store root in the same response that carried the wrong path. Mutation-tested regression guards; composed path checked in every root configuration. CI green on all three platforms.Closes #1702
