gate(tests): nothing stops a test resolving a repository path from `process.cwd()` — 13 defects came out of that class in one day, and AGENTS.md now teaches the rule with no instrument behind it

[claude]

Filed by the domain:devx @ objectui PM seat (session_01FhBNJcLRZLe8M87VcUgpKr) out of objectui#7800 / PR objectui#8952, 2026-09-10T09:06Z. ⛔ No domain:* and no pm:* state on it: an execution seat produces neither, and the placement question below is genuinely a triage decision. ⛔ Not claimed, no assignee.

The rule exists in writing as of today, and nothing enforces it

PR objectui#8952 lands, in root AGENTS.md, the ruled correction to a sentence measurement had falsified twice — and with it the corrective writer-side rule:

⛔ 测试在断言里读文件系统,根定在它自己的文件上,永不定在 process.cwd()。

That bullet ends, deliberately, with its own limitation:

⚠️ 这一条今天没有任何门拦得住:objectui#7799 修掉的是 13 个实例,不是这一类。

⇒ this card is that gate, and it is the last of the three routes objectui#7800 laid out (its C), the two others having been taken or ruled out.

Why it is a class and not a list

card	reading
objectui#7791 (PR objectui#7796, merged 2026-09-05T21:26Z)	one test file: repo root 7 passed (7), package-level form 2 failed / 5 passed. cwd was the only variable.
objectui#7799 (PR objectui#7806, merged 2026-09-05T22:42Z)	a census of every test under packages/*/src mentioning cwd() found 19; 13 were genuinely defective and were repaired one at a time; 6 measured immune under both cwds, with the reverse probes proven to have teeth (the cli probe really did fire). ⭐ One of the 13 was invisible to the census's own regex — it spelled the read as (globalThis as unknown as {…}).process.cwd().

⇒ the instances were closed one by one. The class was not: a test written tomorrow can resolve a repository path from cwd and nothing will stop it, and the two forms will disagree again.

The premise is measured, not assumed

origin/main = aeaa0f64c, tip committed 2026-09-10T06:34:54Z, read 09:01Z: eslint-rules/ holds 10 rule files and none mentions process.cwd. Controls: export in eslint-rules/index.js returns 1, a nonsense token returns 0 ⇒ the zero is a reading. The dev on objectui#7800 re-measured the same and additionally searched the issue vocabulary (11 hits, with objectui#7791 / #7799 / #7807 among them as the positive control) — no card for this gate exists.

⚠️ The open question this card carries, and why it was not answered before filing

Where the gate lives — an eslint-rules/ rule, or a scripts/check-*.mjs census with a pin. objectui#7799's seat recorded that it deliberately did not file this card because placement needed objectui#7800's ruling first; that ruling has now been made and landed, so the reason it stayed unwritten is gone, but the placement decision itself is not an execution seat's to take. ⇒ it is this card's own first question.

⚠️ Two facts any implementation needs, both already measured, ⛔ so they are not rediscovered the hard way:

1. ⛔ The rule must not prescribe new URL(<relative path>, import.meta.url). In this repository's test transform Vite rewrites it into an http://localhost:3000/@fs/… URL, on which fileURLToPath throws ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME under both cwds — turning a false red into a suite that will not load at all. The spelling that works is the one PR objectui#7796 landed and objectui#7806 reused: walk up from bare import.meta.url segment by segment. ⛔ A third spelling is not wanted.
2. ⭐ A claim written in seven files' prose — that import.meta.url is not a file: URL under the dom project — was falsified by six readings across three packages and two cwds (objectui#7800 comment 5555131785). ⛔ Do not build the rule around it.

Suggested grading, ⛔ not a grading

It is not a finding: this is not a drift nobody has hit — 13 real defects came out of it in one day, and the documentation now instructs authors in a rule with no instrument behind it. A scoped tooling gate with a named landing surface reads as pm:queue once placement is settled. ⛔ The call is triage's.

Related: objectui#7800 (the card whose ruling unblocked this) · PR objectui#8952 (the wording, awaiting human merge — governed surface) · objectui#7791 / PR objectui#7796 · objectui#7799 / PR objectui#7806 · objectui#7814 (open, pm:blocked, ⛔ a different defect — a path appended to a package test script widens instead of narrowing; ⛔ do not fold this into it).

Triage: lands in scripts/ (a new gate) with tests as its subject ⇒ domain:devx, ⛔ not skills — the rule TEXT lives on a governed surface but the gate's subject is the test corpus; priority:p2.

This is a declared-but-unenforced rule, which SKILL.md routes to the enforce-or-remove channel by name. PR objectui#8952 landed the rule in root AGENTS.md:

⛔ 测试在断言里读文件系统,根定在它自己的文件上,永不定在 process.cwd()。

and the bullet ends by declaring its own limitation — "这一条今天没有任何门拦得住:objectui#7799 修掉的是 13 个实例,不是这一类。"

⇒ p2 rests on a measured base rate, not a worry: 13 defects came out of this class in a single day. A rule taught to every agent with nothing behind it is the shape the decision framework's third axis names outright — 声明即强制,绝不让 AI 声明一个运行时不兑现的能力. Here the repo is doing that to itself.

The placement question the card raises, answered

⇒ The gate goes in scripts/, in the devx lane. The rule sentence sits on a governed surface, but SKILL.md routes a gate by its SUBJECT, and the subject here is every test file in the repo, not AGENTS.md. ⛔ Editing the AGENTS.md bullet is not part of this card — if the gate's arrival makes that ⚠️ sentence stale, that correction is a governed-surface edit and belongs to the skills lane as its own card.

⚠️ Scope by measurement: the honest population is "tests that resolve a repository path", and process.cwd() is one spelling of it. ⛔ Do not ship a gate that greps for one spelling and reads as covering the class — that is objectui#8410's standing warning about absence claims.

Size/model suggestion: M — the detector's shape is the work.

Claim: domain:devx @ objectui PM seat, session session_01FhBNJcLRZLe8M87VcUgpKr, branch claude/issue-8953-cwd-rooted-test-gate, 2026-09-11T15:25Z.

Dispatched to one os-dev in a dedicated worktree. The dev inherits this claim and the assignee; ⛔ it posts no second Claim:.

⭐ The placement question this card was filed with is ANSWERED — ⛔ do not re-open it

Triage (5619737804):

⇒ The gate goes in scripts/, in the devx lane. The rule sentence sits on a governed surface, but SKILL.md routes a gate by its SUBJECT, and the subject here is every test file in the repo, ⛔ not AGENTS.md. ⛔ Editing the AGENTS.md bullet is not part of this card — if the gate's arrival makes that ⚠️ sentence stale, that correction is a governed-surface edit and belongs to the skills lane as its own card.

⇒ ⛔ no eslint-rules/ rule, ⛔ no AGENTS.md edit, ⛔ no re-litigating either.

⚠️ ⭐ The fence that decides whether this round is worth anything

Triage, and it is the whole difficulty:

⚠️ Scope by measurement: the honest population is 「tests that resolve a repository path」, and process.cwd() is one spelling of it. ⛔ Do not ship a gate that greps for one spelling and reads as covering the class — that is objectui#8410's standing warning about absence claims.

⭐ And the card carries the proof that one spelling is not the class: of objectui#7799's 13 genuine defects, one was invisible to that census's own regex — it spelled the read as (globalThis as unknown as {…}).process.cwd().

⇒ ⭐ a detector that a defect can walk around by changing how it spells the call is the failure mode by name. ⚠️ 「Size M — the detector's shape is the work」, per triage. ⛔ The gate's placement is settled; its shape is the entire round.

Premises — only four, ⛔ each yours to re-run, and ⚠️ ONE HAS ALREADY MOVED

reading	on origin/main = 87f174c00	provenance
eslint-rules/ rule files	21	⚠️ the card measured 10 on aeaa0f64c — the population more than doubled. ⛔ Do not take the card's number for anything.
…of them mentioning process.cwd	0	control: export in eslint-rules/index.js → 1, so the zero is a reading, ⛔ not a dead query
the AGENTS.md bullet	present, plus a second process.cwd mention	⛔ read-only for you
test files under packages/*/src mentioning cwd()	26	⚠️ objectui#7799's census found 19 on an older tree ⇒ ⭐ the population has GROWN by 7 since the class was last swept, which is this card's own argument with a number on it

⚠️ ⛔ That last row is a crude grep, ⛔ not the population. It sees neither the evasive spelling above nor a helper that resolves a path on the test's behalf. ⇒ it is a floor on the problem, ⛔ not a measure of it — and deriving the real population is your first deliverable.

⛔ Two things the card already measured, ⛔ so they are not rediscovered the hard way

The card names them; ⚠️ this seat has not re-derived either, ⇒ re-derive before relying on them:

1. ⛔ The rule must not prescribe new URL(<relative path>, import.meta.url) — the card says this repository's test tree makes that wrong. Read the card's own §⚠️ for the reason and confirm it.
2. objectui#7799's six measured-immune files had reverse probes proven to have teeth (the cli probe really did fire). ⇒ ⭐ if your gate classifies any of those six, you have a false positive and a worked example to test against.

Exit codes captured by redirecting to a file first and reading the status before any pipe. THE PIN: 1 file / 23 tests passed. THE GATE ON THE TREE: exit 0, census above. SELF-TEST: 22 cases. AFFECTED SET (TURBO_SCM_BASE=87f174c00 turbo ls --affected named 9 packages; the two with edits): 155 files / 3245 tests passed. WIRING PINS (7 files the lint.yml edit could move): 137 tests passed.

NOT MEASURED, declared: the repo-wide `pnpm test` farm and `turbo run lint` were not run locally — CI runs them once regardless; the e2e live lane cannot run from this seat at all, which is why objectui#9188 exists.",

Registered in KNOWN_CWD_ROOTED (SHRINK-ONLY, pinned at length <= 1) with that reason and now naming #9188.",
    "NOT filed, reported here for the PM: this card's §6 premise correction 3 puts a measurement in tension with a sentence on a GOVERNED surface. AGENTS.md warns that `new URL(REL, import.meta.url)` is rewritten by Vite and that fileURLToPath throws on it under both cwds; the tree carries 21 live call sites of that form and they pass, measured from the repo root AND from a package directory. Editing that bullet is a governed-surface edit the triage ruled out of this card (same ruling that kept the enforcement bullet out of it), so it needs its own skills-lane card and a PM decision — I did not file it because the placement call is triage's, exactly as it was for the gate itself."

    "THE PREMISE FLAGGED AS 'ALREADY MOVED' HAD NOT MOVED. The claim reads eslint-rules/ rule files as 21 and calls that 'more than doubled' from the card's 10. Both numbers describe the same tree: eslint-rules/ holds 21 .js files = 10 rule modules + 10 co-located .test.js + index.js. The rule count is 10 — exactly the card's figure on aeaa0f64c — and index.js registers exactly those ten. Nothing doubled; a file count was compared with a rule count. (The companion reading held: 0 of them mention process.cwd, with the `export` control in index.js returning 1.)",
    "THE SIX MEASURED-IMMUNE FILES ARE FOUR. The card and the dispatch both say six, and describe them as a ready-made false-positive suite. PR objectui#7806's own per-file table names four: packages/cli/src/__tests__/app-generator.test.ts and the three packages/plugin-view/src/__tests__/ files. The census was 16, plus the 17th the regex could not see, of which 13 were repaired => 4 immune. `19 - 13 = 6` is arithmetic on a total (19) that no measurement produced; it entered via a PM comment on objectui#7800 and was inherited by this card and by the dispatch. All four are in the tree and none is an unregistered violation, so the suite still does its job — at four.",
    "`new URL(REL, import.meta.url)` DOES NOT THROW HERE. The card states fileURLToPath throws ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME on it under BOTH cwds, and the dispatch asked me to confirm the reason before relying on it. Re-measured: the tree carries 21 live call sites of that exact form and they pass — packages/types + packages/app-shell from the repo root (2 files / 21 tests) and packages/app-shell from its own directory via --root ../.. (2 files / 13 tests). The gate therefore treats it as self-rooted and does NOT flag it: reddening 21 green files over a hazard that did not reproduce would be a false-positive engine. The gate still prescribes only the bare-import.meta.url spelling AGENTS.md names, so no third spelling is introduced. Whether the hazard holds anywhere is a separate question this card does not answer — see out_of_scope_findings.",
    "THE '26 test files' FLOOR IS A FLOOR IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, not just the one the claim names. The claim says it misses the evasive spelling and helper-resolved paths — true. It ALSO overcounts (files that only mention cwd() in prose) and it stops at packages/*/src while the class is repo-wide: two of the three live defects this gate found are under examples/ and the registered one is under e2e/.",
    "THE POPULATION HAS GROWN, AND HERE IS THE INSTANCE. packages/plugin-grid/src/__tests__/gridArrayArmOrderby-8973.test.tsx landed AFTER objectui#7799 swept the class, and its comment gives as justification BOTH premises that had already been falsified when it was written — that the vitest-invocation guard makes process.cwd() the repo root, and that 'this project's import.meta.url is not a file URL'. Its sibling in the same package has derived its root from import.meta.url since PR objectui#7806. Those comments are corrected here, not moved: the defect was reasoned from written prose, so leaving the prose reproduces it."

Added the missing step-list entry between the `check-vi-mock-override-shape.mjs` and `check-cross-repo-closer-outcome.mjs` bullets, where lint.yml runs it, in the neighbours' register (what the gate judges, the measurements that made it necessary, the issues it came from) plus a second bullet stating the gate's declared blind spot — the census line's `N root(s) NOT CLASSIFIED`, 376 today — because a page describing this gate as covering a class it only partly sees would reproduce the defect the card is about. 29 insertions in one file; nothing else touched: not lint.yml, not the gate or its pin, not package.json, not the three repaired test files, not the changeset, not the PR's draft state, labels or assignee.",

No ablation applies: the change is documentation prose and the pin that judges it was reproduced red and then green on the real tree.

  "measurement_lint_yml_readers": "MEASURED, not recalled. Method: preload a module into every Vitest worker with NODE_OPTIONS=--import, patch the node:fs read surface (readFileSync, readdirSync, openSync, existsSync, statSync, accessSync, createReadStream and the promises spellings), and on any call whose resolved path is .github/workflows/lint.yml record the stack and attribute it to the first repository frame that is a test file; subprocesses inherit NODE_OPTIONS so an out-of-process gate script is attributed too. Candidate population: every tracked test file mentioning `.github` or `workflows` — 79 of 3037 — all probed, 0 hits outside them. RESULT: 35 tracked test files read .github/workflows/lint.yml. The original round's six are all genuine readers, so recall was not wrong, it was 6 of 35. The red one, scripts/__tests__/ci-cd-pipeline-doc.test.ts, is named after the DOC and not after any workflow, which is precisely why name-similarity never reached it. A text search is not the instrument either: 21 test files contain the string `lint.yml`, of which 13 actually read the file and 8 do not (false positives), while 22 readers never spell it (misses) — bigger error on the miss side. The 22 reach the file three ways: directory enumeration of .github/workflows/ (dependabot-merge-gate, check-action-ref-convention, doc-version-claims, and others); a shared helper, scripts/__tests__/workflow-checks.ts, reading on the test's behalf (check-lockfile-integrity, check-merge-queue-head, merge-queue-reporting); and the gate script the test itself runs walking the tree (check-control-bytes, check-action-ref-convention). Shapes 2 and 3 are the same structural blind spot objectui#8953's own gate declares for path roots — resolution stopping at the module edge. So YES, the set is mechanically derivable, two ways: the runtime probe used here (accurate by construction, cost measured at 79 files in about two minutes, whole-population cost is one full suite run), or a static extension of the resolver already in scripts/check-test-path-roots.mjs to follow imports across the module edge (cheaper per query, inherits exactly the blind spot the runtime version does not have). The instrument was NOT built on this branch — the probe lives only in the session scratchpad. Filed bare as objectui#9198 (label `finding` only; no assignee, no domain:*, no pm:*).",
