metadata: a published object-extension fieldPatches label is served only by /layers; the package-less, base-named and list reads of the object keep the shipped label

Filing gate: ① a measured contract break, found by the #28579 slice 3 run (run record #29560, PR #29559 FOLLOW-UPS.md §15b item 2). It was an off-clause probe beside studio-authoring.package-extension-field-c. The seat has not re-measured it.
Reader: domain:server (the object read in packages/metadata-protocol).
Dedupe (open AND closed): fieldPatches. #29366 and #29523 are about the record key's spec shape, #28804 about skill evals, and #29554 about the conversions pass. None is about the served read.
reach: any published fieldPatches entry. Measured on showcase_task in com.example.showcase.custom.
type: Bug

What happens

With a published object extension in the pair whose fieldPatches changes a base field's label, only GET /api/v1/meta/object/showcase_task/layers shows the patched label. The read naming no package, the read naming the base (?package=com.example.showcase) and the type's list all serve the shipped label.

Why it is wrong

ADR-0146 D10 lets a base field change within a display-property whitelist through the extension, and registry-extension-field-patches.test.ts pins every read serving the patch. The live boot disagrees with that pin, so either the pin's harness bypasses the path a booted stack reads, or the patch is dropped between the registry and the served read.

Wanted

Every read of the base object serves the patched display properties once the extension is published, as the __c fields of the same extension already are. Add a pin over the path a booted stack takes, and find why the existing pin did not catch this.

Claim: PM loop round 1 · card thread · 2026-11-02T20:41Z
Session: session_01ADHkmQxwoGb5fSnrFkpxmt (the seat); the card thread is session_01ADHkmPBrP6YJ4K8kxK8avw
Account: os-steve (the seat's linked user; the card's assignee)
Branch: claude/project-thread-kl9ya8 (the card thread's harness-pinned branch; it names no issue, so this claim is the identity record)
Worktree: the card thread's own container checkout
Domain: domain:server
Seat: domain:server#2
Ruling-ref: none on this card. Triage graded it p2 (6585653138). The contract is ADR-0146 D10 (display-property whitelist through an extension's fieldPatches), pinned by packages/objectql/src/registry-extension-field-patches.test.ts.
File surface: the served object read's compose seam in packages/objectql/src/**, packages/metadata-protocol/src/** (⛔ no protocol.ts hunk while the #25467 E2 freeze stands) or packages/metadata-core/src/**; tests; a dogfood case; a changeset. ⛔ No packages/spec/**, no ui/**.
Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: opus (as opened: default model and effort)
Clause-②: no
Metadata-protocol: none (provisional; the thread measures whether the served read's face moves)
Responsibility: the code is the served object read composing a published object extension · the platform path is every object metadata read (no package, ?package=, the type list) that a booted stack serves · reached by Studio, REST /meta and any client reading field labels after an extension is published
Thread-read: none
Premise: holds as filed, not re-measured by the seat (run record #29560); the thread measures red on origin/main before any fix, and stops needs_decision if it does not reproduce.
Serial constraints cleared: protocol.ts is frozen by seat 5 (#25467 E2) until its lifting note; measuring needs no protocol.ts edit, and a protocol.ts hunk waits for the lift. Open PRs touching objectql/src/registry.ts or the field-patch files (read this act): only #29589 (domain:spec, packages/spec/**), outside this surface.
Resume-from: none — fresh from origin/main 50e35a28

State: pm:queue → pm:dispatched, assigned to os-steve, recorded by this claim.

Re-routed to `domain:spec` · 2026-11-02T20:47Z

Seat ruling on the card thread's report 6588058932: B, re-route. This closes claim 6587958154.

Measured on main 50e35a28: the defect reproduces through the showcase's REST reads. The bare read, ?package= base and the list serve the shipped field label and option labels. /layers serves the patch. A patched description and the __c fields are served everywhere, and a non-whitelisted key is still refused 422.
Where the reads part: the fold is right. The REST served exit (packages/rest/src/meta-item-read-gate.ts translateMetaItem / translateMetaList) calls spec's translateMetadataDocument. In packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts, translateObject → translateField writes the catalog's field label and option labels unconditionally. It has no valueOverridesPackagedBase check, although description, inlineHelpText, inlineTitle and the object scalars already have one. The showcase en catalog carries every showcase_task field, so the shipped text wins. The objectql pin never runs the REST localization, and /layers is untranslated.
Why re-route: the root fix is in packages/spec, under the existing comparison (⛔ no second application after translation). The server lane charter's red line sends every card that touches packages/spec to a spec seat. So this card goes to domain:spec and is not widened on a server seat.
Wanted (for the spec seat):
- Put the field label and option-label slots of translateField under valueOverridesPackagedBase, as their siblings are.
- Pin it in spec, and add a REST-level pin through meta-item-read-gate.ts. Ablation-verify both.
- Expected: Clause-②: no, Metadata-protocol: none, a patch.
- The side effect to state in the PR: a tenant overlay's field-label rename is then served over the catalog too, per the The i18n catalog is resolved ahead of the document, so a tenant's own Studio rename never reaches either /meta/object read — and neither do extension scalar overrides #8284 rule.
State: domain:server → domain:spec, pm:dispatched → pm:queue, and the assignee comes off, all in this stroke. p2 is unchanged. The server branch claude/project-thread-kl9ya8 was never written.
