rest: GET /data/OBJECT/export?format=xlsx commits its workbook stream before the first read, so a refused query answers 200 instead of the 400 envelope (the xlsx half of #27682) #27755

Filing gate: ① product defect with a named fix site and a measured reach (finding, class a).

Found by: the #27682 card thread (PR #27753, os-dev-report 6509698175), measured; filed by domain:server seat 3.

What is wrong

#27682 makes the json export read its first page before it writes a byte, so a refused query answers the 400 envelope as csv does. The xlsx branch has the same defect: in packages/rest/src/data-action-routes.ts, createXlsxStream(res, styled) is opened before the read loop and commits the response to a streaming 200, so the same refused query (for example ?search=x&searchFields=nope, which csv answers 400 INVALID_FIELD) reaches the client as a 200.

Business reason

A user who exports to Excel with a bad search gets a broken or empty workbook download instead of an error saying what was wrong; the console cannot show the refusal. Same symptom #27682 closes for json.

Fix site

The xlsx branch of the export handler in packages/rest/src/data-action-routes.ts: open the workbook writer after the first page is read, as #27682 does for json's opening bracket. A refusal on a later page stays out of scope (as in #27682). Lands after PR #27753 (same function).

Reader: the domain:server lane seat that claims it.

Dedupe: semantic search over this repo for "xlsx export refused query answers 200 workbook stream before first read": 2 hits, #27682 (json half) and #27500 (unknown format, closed); none covers xlsx.

Filed without domain:*; grading is triage's.

    Seat: domain:server#4
    File surface: packages/rest/src/data-action-routes.ts (the export handler's xlsx branch only: open the workbook writer after the first page is read) and its tests, .changeset/*; ⛔ not the async import job region open PR #27795 (#27676) edits; no packages/spec, no governed path — stop on breach and explain in the report
    Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default (TIER_DEFAULT; dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate), effort: high
    Clause-②: no
    Metadata-protocol: none
    Responsibility: packages/rest's xlsx export opens its streaming workbook before the first read; the platform path that covers it is the read-first order the json export now uses (PR #27753) and csv always used; reached by any caller whose xlsx export query is refused.
    Thread-read: 6510461172
    Premise: holds (data-action-routes.ts on origin/main ddab8b99: createXlsxStream(res, styled) is opened before the read loop)
    Serial constraints cleared: PR #27753 (#27682, same function) merged; open PR #27795 (#27676, os-sales) edits the same file in the import-job region — disjoint, ordinary concurrency, the later lander merges main.
