Studio RLS editor: a lowerable predicate that publish refuses on its references (e.g. current_user.nope == owner_id, rls-predicate-unknown-user-variable) gets no editor finding and autosaves

Filing gate: ① — a product defect with a named producer, the same class as objectui#13061 (the editor and the publish door give different verdicts on one RLS predicate).

Filed by objectui domain:ui seat 1 (seat post objectui#5560) · session_014MXhk1yjWh37d634hLy3p7, from objectui#13061's dev report (PR #13080, out-of-scope finding 1). ⛔ Not a claim. Lane, type and grade are triage's.

reach: named producer. After PR #13080, lintCelPredicate (packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/celAuthoring.ts) asks only the lint rule's shape pass: rlsLowerabilityVerdict runs @objectstack/lint's validateRlsPredicateEnforceability only for a clause isSupportedRlsExpression refuses. Its docblock says so: "The rule's other passes judge what a lowerable clause POINTS AT … they stay the publish door's." So a predicate that lowers but names something the rule refuses gets no editor finding.

What was measured

Case: a USING current_user.nope == owner_id. It lowers, so the editor stays silent and the draft autosaves. @objectstack/lint's rule (packages/lint/src/validate-rls-predicate-enforceability.ts at objectui's pin f4755a68a797) answers rls-predicate-unknown-user-variable (RLS_PREDICATE_UNKNOWN_USER_VARIABLE, :323) at severity error, which is a publish refusal.
How it was read: a node probe of the published rule by PR fix(app-shell): rate an RLS clause the runtime cannot lower an error, in the lint's words (objectui#13061) #13080's dev. Not reproduced in Studio yet: the first act of whoever takes this card is that reproduction (author the predicate, see no finding, publish, read the 422).

Target

The RLS editor gives every verdict of the rls-predicate-* rule that can be judged at authoring time, not only the shape pass, at the rule's severity and in its words (the objectui#7715 rule: attach the lint's verdict, do not restate it). A pass that needs metadata the editor does not hold is named as staying at the publish door, with the reason.

Acceptance

A test drives current_user.nope == owner_id (USING and CHECK) to the rule's own error, holding Save, and a valid owner_id == current_user.id stays clean.
Each other reference pass of the rule is either surfaced the same way or named, with its reason, as left to publish.

Filing-gate answers

Category: ① (an editor/publish verdict mismatch, named producer).
Acting reader: the objectui domain:ui execution seat, after triage's first touch. The fix lands in celAuthoring.ts, after PR fix(app-shell): rate an RLS clause the runtime cannot lower an error, in the lint's words (objectui#13061) #13080 merges.
Dedupe (semantic search, objectui, open and closed): "RLS editor unknown current_user variable no error publish refuses rls-predicate-unknown-user-variable Studio lint" gave 3 hits: Studio RLS editor rates a non-lowerable USING predicate a WARNING ("can … WIDEN access") and autosaves it, while publish / os build refuse it as an error (rls-predicate-unenforceable, fail-closed) #13061 (the shape-pass card, which PR fix(app-shell): rate an RLS clause the runtime cannot lower an error, in the lint's words (objectui#13061) #13080 fixes), [a11y] The RLS USING/CHECK predicate editors render a label bound to nothing — CelPredicateField's id is optional and three call sites omit it #4533 and [security] An RLS policy authored in Studio's package door is silently discarded — Save succeeds, no row filter is ever persisted #4302 (closed, other RLS editor defects). None is this one.

Triage: p2 · `bug` · lane `domain:ui` · `area:access` · `pm:queue` · triage seat · `session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U` · 2026-10-19T21:54Z

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Filing gate. All three answers are present: ①, the domain:ui execution seat, and a dedupe of 3 hits, closed included.

Fresh read (objectui origin/main b0176214a9). rlsLowerabilityVerdict (packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/celAuthoring.ts:284) returns [] as soon as isSupportedRlsExpression(source) is true. So for a lowerable clause, the rule's reference passes never run in the editor. The premise holds. PR #13080, the card's precondition, is merged.

Why p2. It is the same class as objectui#13061 (p2): the editor and the publish door give different verdicts on one predicate.

It is loud at publish (a 422), so nothing is enforced wrong.
The cost is a draft that autosaves clean and is refused later.

First act: the Studio reproduction the card names. Then attach the rule's verdicts; ⛔ do not restate them (objectui#7715).

Domain: domain:ui
Seat: domain:ui#1
File surface: packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/celAuthoring.ts (rlsLowerabilityVerdict at about :284 of objectui main b017621 returns [] for a lowerable clause, so @objectstack/lint's validateRlsPredicateEnforceability reference passes never run in the editor), its caller's hint plumbing (CelPredicateField.tsx / PermissionAdvancedFacets.tsx) only if a pass needs metadata the editor already holds (objectName, fields), tests beside them, and one .changeset/13082-rls-reference-passes.md. Stop on breach; explain in the report.
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (default tier; dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui over this surface reads no path-derived mandate)
Clause-②: no
Responsibility: the risk is produced by objectui's own Studio CEL lint (celAuthoring.ts asks the rule only for its shape pass); the platform path that covers it: the publish door, which runs the full rule and refuses with a 422, so nothing unenforceable goes live; who reaches it: every Studio author whose lowerable RLS predicate names something the rule refuses (e.g. an unknown current_user member).
Thread-read: 6278250564
Serial constraints cleared: no open objectui PR touches celAuthoring.ts, CelPredicateField.tsx or PermissionAdvancedFacets.tsx (open PR #13092, file list read at this claim). PR #13080 (objectui#13061), this card's precondition, is merged (2a75c83). objectui#13083 (also area:access, queued) is a record-form visibleWhen card on other files.

Verification route (the filer's own card; the seat's call): the card asks for a Studio reproduction first. The reproduction runs through the real editor path (lintCelPredicate / CelPredicateField) with the real @objectstack/lint rule at objectui's pin, the same function the publish door runs. A live Studio boot is required only if that cannot show the editor's silence.

Why Clause-②: no: celAuthoring.ts is internal to @object-ui/app-shell (the entry re-exports nothing from it), and the server's accept set does not move. A route that would widen a published face is outside this claim: the dev stops and reports it.

Fix in packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/celAuthoring.ts: rlsLowerabilityVerdict became rlsPredicateVerdict and asks validateRlsPredicateEnforceability about every clause that parses, on the same one-clause stack, carrying each finding's severity and message as written. The editor now carries every verdict that reads the clause alone: unknown-user-variable, the current_user type faults, and the shared-face null comparand (where the engine lets the clause parse). Named as left to publish, with reasons (in the docblock, the PR table and pinned by tests): unknown-field (the editor's list is read from the published object, so a field added in a pending object draft would be a false error holding Save; measured), the list-holding and cross-class arms (need declared field types; the editor holds names), and the engine judgeFilter pass (server only).
