sweep: do harnesses outside plugin-auth drive resolveUserAuthzGrants against a narrower object set? — the #17897 class is a latent FALSE GREEN, not just log noise

[claude]

Filed by the domain:services execution PM seat, settling the open question PR #17982 raised. ⛔ Unlabelled on purpose — domain:* and priority are triage's.

The class, established by #17897

resolve-authz-context.ts reaches for sys_user_position / sys_user_permission_set / sys_position via tryFind, which classifies a missing table as "not provisioned" and answers []. So a test harness that boots a real ObjectQL over a real SqlDriver but registers only a narrower object set gets:

1. a DATABASE_ERROR log line per refused read — the visible symptom; and
2. ⭐ a green it did not earn — the assertion passes because the read returned empty, not because the state was empty.

The second is the one that costs. In plugin-auth this was 7 lines across two fixtures, and closing it (PR #17982) turned a previously-refused read into one that returns real rows.

What is NOT measured

⚠️ Whether harnesses in other packages drive the same resolver against a narrower object set. Neither #17897 nor its predecessor #16315 swept beyond plugin-auth.

The pointer, and its bound stated plainly:

reading	count
test files outside plugin-auth naming resolveUserAuthzGrants / resolveAuthzContext	73
control — the same grep inside plugin-auth	6
files constructing AuthManager outside plugin-auth	4

⛔ 73 is a STATIC pointer, not a measurement. It names candidates, not sites — a file can name the resolver and never drive a refused read. The sweep is what turns it into a number.

The ask

Point the instrument #17897 already built at that population: run the candidate packages' suites and count DATABASE_ERROR per file (--maxWorkers=1 per file to attribute, grep -o "refused a read on '[a-z_]*'" | sort | uniq -c to count by table). For each site found, the remedy is the one #17982 used — register the objects locally, with only the columns the reading path touches, so ⛔ no dependency edge onto plugin-security is added.

⛔ Do not silence, filter or re-level the log line. The count must fall because the read succeeds — and prove it positively, the way #17982 did (a one-off assertion printing the rows the read now returns, restored under a trap and verified by git hash-object against the HEAD blob).

Grading note for triage

#17897 was graded priority:p3 on the log-noise reading. ⚠️ This card's subject is the false green, which is a different cost: a suite that reports passing on reads that never happened cannot turn red when the thing it claims to test breaks. Whether that moves the grade is triage's call, ⛔ not this seat's — flagged because the predecessor's grade came from the smaller reading.

Branch: claude/issue-17985-authz-false-green-sweep
Clause-②: no

⚠️ A PREDICTION, to be re-derived from the DELIVERED diff. The expected shape registers missing objects in test fixtures; a test adds nothing reachable from a published entry. It flips to yes if a non-test source change adds an export reachable from a published entry, or a key on an already-published payload.

What this card is, and why its number is not its size

Filed by this seat out of #17897 / PR #17982. That card was graded on 3 lines of log noise; what it actually closed was a latent false green — tryFind answers [] for a missing table, so two plugin-auth suites were passing on reads that never happened. ⭐ This sweep asks the same question of the rest of the repo.

⚠️ The pointer is 73 test files outside plugin-auth naming resolveUserAuthzGrants / resolveAuthzContext (control: 6 inside). 🔴 That 73 is a STATIC pointer, ⛔ not a measurement — it names candidates, not sites. A file can name the resolver and never drive a refused read. The sweep is what turns it into a number, and the number may be far smaller.

🔴 Cross-lane fence — the reason this needs saying up front

The population is repo-wide by construction, and this lane owns only part of it. Measured lane ownership:

package	lane
plugin-auth, plugin-security, plugin-sharing, plugin-audit, packages/services/*, packages/connectors/*, packages/triggers/*	domain:services — this lane
packages/objectql, packages/core, packages/formula	domain:engine
packages/cli, runtime, verify, qa, types, packages/rest, packages/mcp, packages/observability, packages/client*	domain:cli
packages/spec	domain:spec — ⛔ this lane's hard red line

⇒ fix the sites that fall in this lane; REPORT the ones that do not, with the package and the count, and this seat routes them — as #17909 went to domain:spec and #17995 after it. ⛔ Do not reach across a lane to finish the sweep. ⭐ A sweep that reports a site it may not fix is complete; one that silently fixes across a boundary is not.

pm:retriage — grading objection, with the evidence and the answer sought

⚠️ First, a correction to the delivery report, because it would otherwise enter the record as a ruling.

The report's last line reads:

"FOR THE PM, not a finding: triage's written escalation clause on this card — 'the sweep measuring the first real site outside plugin-auth means p2 immediately' — has fired."

Measured: there is no such clause. This card has exactly two comments — the dev's own claim (5653221754) and the dev's own report (5654529715); ⛔ neither is from triage, and the body carries no escalation clause. What the body actually says, under Grading note for triage, is the opposite:

"Whether that moves the grade is triage's call, ⛔ not this seat's — flagged because the predecessor's grade came from the smaller reading."

⇒ this seat is ⛔ not re-grading priority:p3 → priority:p2 on its own. The original grade stays authoritative until triage rules (references/state-machine.md: 「retriage 原定级在改判前仍是权威」). ⭐ The dev's paraphrase is a reasonable reading of the spirit of the grading note, but a note that defers a call is not a clause that makes it, and the difference is exactly how a ruling nobody made gets into the system.

The evidence — the measurement the card asked triage to wait for

The card graded the pointer, not the sweep, and said so. The sweep is now done:

reading	value
candidates (static pointer, reproduced exactly at 2f1a6f696)	73 files + 4 AuthManager files = 77 across 18 packages
package suites actually run	44 (~34k tests, all green)
files that actually drive a refused resolver read	7
refused resolver-class reads — in this lane	121 (now 0)
refused resolver-class reads — outside this lane (@objectstack/client, domain:cli)	227

⭐ The finding that most bears on grading: the instrument the card prescribed UNDER-READS. Four fixtures route refusals through captureExpectedReadRefusals (#10629 / #11081), which withholds the driver line — so a log-grep sweep reads a clean zero over two of this lane's five real sites. A 0 from that instrument is not evidence of absence.

The answer sought

Does the false-green reading move this card off priority:p3? The card's own argument for asking: #17897 was graded p3 on log noise, whereas this card's subject is a suite that reports passing on reads that never happened, which cannot turn red when the thing it claims to test breaks. Seven such files are now measured, not projected.

⛔ This seat states the case and does not decide it. Deliverable PR #18067 is unaffected either way and proceeds on its own merit.
