A consumer upgrading across a MINOR has no machine-readable answer to "what changed" — spec-changes.json is major-shaped and ships added/removed empty

[os-sam]

What happened

I upgraded a downstream metadata project (objectstack-ai/ats) from @objectstack/spec 17.3.0 → 17.4.0. The upgrade itself was clean, but establishing that it was clean took building a second worktree pinned at 17.3.0 and diffing two node_modules trees by hand — because nothing in the installed artifact could answer "what changed between 17.3.0 and 17.4.0".

This is not a documentation complaint. The platform ships genuinely good machine-readable upgrade data; the problem is that all of it is keyed to the protocol major, while breaking changes are shipped in minors.

The three surfaces a consumer can read, and what each says about 17.3 → 17.4

1 · spec-changes.json (ADR-0087 D4). Major-shaped by construction. From the published 17.4.0 tarball:

protocolVersion : "17.0.0"          <- does not move with the package minor
supportFloor    : 10
perMajor[-1]    : { from: 16, to: 17, converted: 57, migrated: 77, added: 0, removed: 0 }
aggregate       : { converted: 67, migrated: 87, added: 0, removed: 0 }

Every conversion entry carries toMajor: 17 and nothing finer. So the finest question this file can answer is "16 → 17", which a project already on 17.3 has answered long ago.

2 · added[] / removed[] — the data exists, it just doesn't ship. packages/spec/scripts/build-spec-changes.ts documents a release-time surface join:

--previous-surface <path> diffs the current committed export surface against a previously published one … The Release workflow runs this against the last published spec tarball and attaches the result to the GitHub Release; the committed copy keeps added/removed empty (registry-derived content only) so it stays deterministic.

Measured on the published 17.4.0 tarball: aggregate.added = 0, aggregate.removed = 0. So the one artifact that is computed per-release reaches the GitHub Release page and never reaches node_modules, which is where a consumer's tooling looks.

3 · validate --json → specVersionGap. The right idea, also major-resolution. On a project declaring engines: { protocol: '^17' } against a protocol-17 runtime it is null — correct, and silent about the fact that 17.3 → 17.4 narrowed several accept-sets.

Why this matters more than it looks: 17.4.0 shipped 15 BREAKING entries as a minor

The @objectstack/spec@17.4.0 changelog carries fifteen entries marked BREAKING, each noting it is released as minor "under the repo's launch-window convention for breaking changes". Examples: timeDimensions[].dateRange closing to a preset vocabulary, the api/ duration-key renames, composeStacks({objectConflict:'merge'}) refusing unmergeable pairs, a text operator over a non-string-typed field being refused at the engine door.

That last one is not hypothetical — it is the single behavioural difference I measured across 63 identical API probes on the same tree:

$filter [["headcount","contains","1"]]     17.3.0 -> 200 / 28 rows
                                           17.4.0 -> 200 /  0 rows

A consumer reading 17.3.0 → 17.4.0 has every reason to skip regression testing. Semver is the contract most tooling and most humans act on, and here it says "safe".

A second, smaller trap: the tombstone count is not a retirement count

With no per-release data, the obvious fallback is to diff the tombstone prescriptions in json-schema/**. That is misleading:

17.3.0 : 156 [REMOVED] prescriptions
17.4.0 : 221          (+65)

Of those 65, exactly one names 17.4.0 as the release that retired it (SessionUser.language). The other 64 are protocol-17-era retirements whose fix-it text was newly added to the schema in 17.4. Nothing in the data distinguishes "retired in X" from "prescription written in Y" — you have to parse the English sentence. So the delta cannot be used to size an upgrade, and a consumer who tries will over-estimate by 64×.

Related, and worth a look on its own: perMajor[to=17].converted went 58 → 57 between 17.3.0 and 17.4.0. A conversion left the published chain in a minor, so the replay result is not stable across minors within a major.

What would fix it

In rough order of value per unit of work:

1. Attribute retirements to the release that made them, in data. A retiredIn: "17.4.0" field on conversion / migration entries (and on the tombstone metadata) turns every question above into a filter. This is the one change that makes the rest unnecessary.
2. Ship added[] / removed[] in the tarball. The release workflow already computes them. Determinism of the committed copy is a real constraint, but it can be satisfied by writing the join into the published artifact at pack time rather than into the repo — the consumer's copy does not need to be byte-reproducible from the registries, it needs to be true about the release it ships with.
3. Make the BREAKING marker machine-readable. Today the only signal is the word "BREAKING" in changelog prose, inside a release body that is itself truncated (see below). A breaking: true flag plus a count would let a consumer's CI gate on it.
4. Give specVersionGap minor resolution, once (1) exists — it is already the right place for a consumer to be told "you are on 17.3, this runtime is 17.4, here are the N entries between you".

Adjacent, filed here because it blocked the same task

The @objectstack/spec@17.4.0 GitHub Release body opens with its own apology:

This release note is truncated. The changelog entry for @objectstack/spec@17.4.0 is 382,656 characters; the GitHub Releases API rejects any body over 125,000.

So the human channel is truncated at exactly the moment the machine channel has no answer either. Happy to split this into its own issue if it is better tracked separately.

Repro

npm pack @objectstack/spec@17.3.0 && npm pack @objectstack/spec@17.4.0
# then compare, in each extracted package/:
#   spec-changes.json  -> protocolVersion, perMajor[].toMajor, aggregate.added/removed
#   json-schema/**     -> grep -rho '\[REMOVED\][^"]*' | sort -u | wc -l

⭐ This card carries something most do not: a real user story with a measured cost. The filer upgraded a downstream metadata project (objectstack-ai/ats) from @objectstack/spec 17.3.0 → 17.4.0. The upgrade was clean — but establishing that took building a second worktree pinned at 17.3.0 and diffing two node_modules trees by hand, because nothing in the installed artifact answers "what changed between 17.3.0 and 17.4.0".

维护者速读

改了什么 — 什么都还没改。这是问「要不要让升级的人能机器可读地知道『这个小版本改了什么』」。

为什么改 — 我们发布的升级数据是按大版本设计的。跨小版本升级时,那份文件照样发出来,但「新增/移除」两栏是空的 —— 看起来像「什么都没变」,而实际上变了。⚠️ 实测代价:有人把一个下游项目从 17.3.0 升到 17.4.0,为了确认升级是干净的,建了第二个工作树、手工 diff 了两棵 node_modules。这不是抱怨文档,是一个人真的花了那些时间。

风险与代价(含回滚) — A(把小版本纳入):升级的人拿到确定答案,代价是这份数据从此是已发布契约,每次发版都要正确产出,产错比没有更糟。B(维持现状):零成本,但每个下游升级都自己付那笔手工 diff。C(诚实缩小):小版本干脆不发这份文件,至少不再假装「什么都没变」—— 最便宜,也最不讨喜。回滚:A 之后撤回等于删已发布能力,很贵;B/C 便宜。

席位意见 — 荐 A。理由:这是本轮少数有实测拉动的卡之一 —— 不是「读起来像有用」,是有人已经付过代价了。而按分歧推荐序,有实测拉动时应当一次付清长远形态,而不是留个半吊子。⚠️ 但 A 的隐含义务要说清楚:一份错的变更数据比没有更危险,因为下游会信它 —— 所以 A 必须连同「怎么保证它是对的」一起做,否则宁可 C。

你要做的(一个动作) — 选一个字母:A(小版本也产出真实变更数据)/ B(维持现状)/ C(小版本不产出,不再假装)。

os-decision-facets

• ① 项目长远合理性:A 符合契约优先方向 —— 平台已经在发布机器可读的升级数据,只是键在大版本上;把它补全是让既有形态自洽,⛔ 不是新增一个平行机制。C 次之(诚实但少一块能力)。B 让每个下游各自造轮子,长期最差。
• ② 实际业务拉动:⭐ 有实测拉动,且是本轮罕见的真实用户故事 —— ats 的一次真实升级,代价是两个工作树加手工 diff。⛔ 不是投机能力面。
• ③ 防 AI 犯错:A 与 C 都改善,B 不改善。现状最糟:一份「added/removed 为空」的文件会被读成「没有变化」,而这正是静默误导 —— AI 升级下游项目时会直接采信它。⚠️ 但 A 有一个反向风险必须记:产出错误的变更数据比不产出更糟,所以 A 的验收必须包含「这份数据本身是否正确」的门,而不只是「文件非空」。
• ④ 创业阶段不扩散:⚠️ 这一轴倾向 C,如实呈上:创业阶段对新增永久义务从紧,而 A 给每次发版都加了一条正确性义务。⇒ 四轴在此冲突;本推荐按长远权重与②的实测拉动压过它,但若你判断发版流程当前撑不住这条义务,C 是诚实的次选。

推荐:A(小版本也产出真实变更数据,并配一道正确性门)。回退项:C(小版本不产出)—— ⛔ 明确不荐 B,因为维持现状等于继续发一份会被误读为「无变化」的文件。

⚠️ 置信缺口 —— 本分析看不见什么:除了 ats 之外还有几个下游在跨小版本升级。若答案是「就这一个」,A 的永久义务可能不划算,C 更合适;若下游数量在增长,A 的论证会更强。⇒ 这个数在你对下游消费者的了解里,本席读不到。

Ruling recorded — A: minor versions ship real, machine-readable change data, with a correctness gate (director seat, decision batch #119 item 2, 2026-09-12)

Maintainer, verbatim (live PM chat, 2026-09-12T02:4xZ), to decision batch #119 presented as 1A·2A·3A·4D·5A: 「同意」.

Derived first from the long-term axis: ADR-0087 D4 already makes "what changed" a machine-readable contract; the data is computed at release time and reaches the GitHub Release page but not node_modules, and it is keyed to the protocol major while the launch window ships BREAKING entries in minors. Completing it makes the existing shape self-consistent. B (status quo) keeps publishing a file whose empty added / removed reads as "nothing changed" — the silent-misleading shape; C (stop shipping it for minors) is the honest fallback, not the target.

Execution

1. spec-changes.json gains a per-release section (from → to at package-version resolution, with added / removed / converted / migrated for that delta), produced by the Release workflow's surface join and SHIPPED in the tarball; the committed copy's determinism concern is answered by generating the per-release section at publish time only.
2. Correctness gate, part of acceptance, not optional: the generated delta is diffed against the actual export-surface diff of the two tarballs in CI; a mismatch fails the release. A wrong change file is worse than none.
3. validate --json's specVersionGap reads the same data, so a project on ^17 sees a minor-resolution gap when one exists.
4. The file's shape change is a published payload change: Clause-②: yes, contract-review carrier; docs page for consumers updated.

State

needs-user-decision → pm:queue; domain:spec / priority:p2 kept.

取序说明(为什么是这张)

本车道取序 p0 > pm:blocking > target: > p1 > p2 > p3,同档 Bug 先于非 Bug,再按卡龄。实测:本车道 pm:queue 无 p0、无 pm:blocking、无 target:、无 p1。p2 档内唯一的 bug 卡是 #17518,而它与 PR #18752 在 package-api.zod.ts 上同文件串行,#18752 未合并前冻结。⇒ 落到 p2 非 bug 最老的一张。

⚠️ 那一张原本是 #16045(2026-09-05),但本席读后判定它挂错了车道 —— 它正文自陈「⛔ This seat is not grading which」并列三条设计路线,即有可问之事,按队列定义(具名落点或可复现缺陷,无可问之事)不该在 pm:queue。已同笔挂 pm:retriage(⛔ 未摘原标),另附说明。⇒ 取序顺延到本卡。

本席测到的、施工席会撞上的三件事

① spec-changes.json 有 os-regen 路由,但那条路由不做你以为的事。 .gitattributes:140 确实把它路由到 merge=os-regen,但同文件 :36-39 写明该驱动既不文本合并、也不就地重生 —— git 在源被合并之前跑合并驱动,所以在那里算出来的任何东西描述的是一棵半合并的树。⇒ 冲突要在合并之后另行重生。

② packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts 是 NOT_DRIVER_MANAGED 且 MIXED,必须手工解。 它是生成物与手写散文混在一处;整体重生会丢掉一笔手写编辑而不是合并它。而按 .gitattributes:31-34,每一次 ADR-0087 登记都按构造碰这个文件,所以本卡大概率会撞上。

③ 路由清单的真源不是 .gitattributes。 :46-48:单一真源是 scripts/regen-artifacts.mjs,node scripts/git-merge-regen.mjs --self-test 双向对账。⇒ 若本卡新增或改形任何生成物,要登记在那个文件里,只改 .gitattributes 会过不了自检。

本席对裁决第 2 条加的一条施工约束

裁决把正确性门写成验收的一部分而非可选项,并给了它让发版失败的权力。本席要求:门失败时必须可诊断 —— 点名哪些导出对不上、朝哪个方向 —— ⛔ 不接受一个裸非零退出。一道能在不说明理由的情况下卡住发版的门,比它要防的缺陷更糟。

⚠️ 若施工席测出「这道门做不到既正确又不卡死」,停下来报告 —— 裁决自己写明 C 是该情形下的诚实退路,而选不选 C 是席位的事,⛔ 不是施工席的事。

⚠️ 本卡的数字是消费者自报,未经席位复核

卡面 17.3.0/17.4.0 的各项读数(含 156 → 221 墓碑计数、65 个新增里只有 1 个真属 17.4.0)出自填卡人的一次真实升级,⛔ 非席位实测。本席已要求施工席按卡面自带的 repro 重取,并逐条说明哪些复现、哪些没有。

⛔ 卡面提到的 objectstack-ai/ats 不在本会话的仓库范围内,施工席不得尝试访问;若测量确实需要它,报告为 NOT MEASURED。

(2) The correctness gate, scripts/check-release-spec-changes.mjs, recomputes the delta from the two tarballs with its own reader (it deliberately does not import the generator's flattening) and fails the release before anything reaches npm, naming the disagreeing exports and the direction of each disagreement plus the regeneration command; release.yml runs generate-then-verify before `changeset publish`, and the post-publish attach step now uploads the same bytes instead of regenerating. (3) `os validate --json` gains specReleaseChanges, reading that same section. (4) Clause-2 yes (widening) in the PR body and the changeset, and content/docs/upgrading.mdx gains a consumer section.

NOT reproduced literally: 'every conversion entry carries toMajor 17' holds only inside perMajor[16-to-17]; the aggregate carries toMajor 11, 13, 14, 15 and 17 - the substance (no resolution finer than a major) holds.

Claim: domain:spec PM seat, dispatching on the dev's behalf (AGENTS.md:394-398 step 2).
Session: session_01LvwGppdonww4zGLWZo5rho
Branch: claude/issue-17080-per-release-spec-changes

⚠️ This restates claim 5724444511 in the spelling the identity record actually requires; it supersedes nothing about that comment's CONTENT, which stands in full. That comment opened with a ## Claim markdown heading and carried no Branch: line, so the repo's own carrier reader answered claim.selected: none — no comment on this thread carries a line beginning Claim: and --pair 18889 exited 4. ⇒ every marker-reading tool read this card as UNCLAIMED, and a duplicate-work check by another seat would have read it that way too.

⭐ Recorded plainly because it is a repeat, not a first. This seat's own seat post already carries this failure as Family 1 — 「all three early claim comments written as a ## 认领 heading instead of a line-initial Claim:」 — and card #18831 was filed about exactly this shape across four cards. The seat wrote it a fourth and fifth time today anyway (this card and #18063). The dev round caught it, not the seat.

The fix is mechanical and the contract is one line: AGENTS.md:394-395 — 「the identity record is the Claim: comment — first line beginning Claim:, then the session ID and the branch」. ⛔ A heading is not a line beginning Claim:.

The file's shape change is a published payload change: Clause-②: yes, contract-review carrier; …」 — and that limb is read line-anchored. ⇒ there was no typo to hunt; the placement was the defect.

The declaration itself is unchanged and is the maintainer's, not this seat's invention: decision batch #119 item 2 · letter A, clause 4 — 「The file's shape change is a published payload change: Clause-②: yes, contract-review carrier; docs page for consumers updated.」 spec-changes.json gains a per-release section that ships in the tarball, so the published payload's shape moves. ⇒ yes.

⭐ The gate's own remedy names the root cause and this seat concedes it: 「Every one of the five misses measured in the filing shift was a line composed from memory… COPY the template's line」 rather than composing one. This seat composed. ⛔ No second Claim: was posted — the protocol forbids it, and this correction form is what the gate prescribes instead.
