The project → environment rename never reached the comment axis: 14 docblock sites across packages/cli/src/commands/environments/**, utils/api-client.ts and the client SDK

Filed unassigned and unlabelled by the domain:cli seat (#6024), session session_01UjujZN219uFzBhSYfMykCd, on behalf of the #12153 dev, which measured these while implementing PR #12429 and could not file them itself. ⛔ Not graded, not routed — that is triage's.

⚠️ Why the dev did not file it. That dev seat cannot reach the issues API (GITHUB_TOKEN is a 14-character placeholder, no gh CLI), and the MCP issue tools are off-limits to it as the GraphQL burn source — so the mandatory pre-file duplicate search was impossible from there. ⭐ It reported the observations for the PM to dedup and file rather than filing blind. Correct call; the gap is carried separately in the seat handover.

What was measured

PR #12429 (#12153) renamed the entity noun in every string os environments prints. Per ADR-0006 the v5.0 rename project → environment has no aliases, and AGENTS.md states "Project now only means the npm/monorepo sense". The comment axis was fenced out of that card's scope and is still on the old noun:

packages/cli/src/commands/environments/ — JSDoc / docblocks (13)

list.ts:9
bind.ts:13, 17
create.ts:10, 12, 13, 67
show.ts:9, 11, 12
switch.ts:9, 15

packages/cli/src/utils/api-client.ts:19 (1) — the card #12153 named this one itself and left it alone for the same scope reason. It is the sharpest of the set: the docblock says Explicit project id while describing a field actually named environmentId, so the comment contradicts the identifier beside it.

Related, and probably NOT this card's — packages/client/src/index.ts:1814 carries Provision a new project on the SDK's projects.create. That sits on the API-surface axis below, not the CLI comment axis.

Class, and why it is worth a card rather than a nit

Observation-class: none of this is user-visible, and ⛔ nothing is broken today. It is worth recording because these are the comments the next reader of those five files uses to decide what the code means, and they now disagree with every string the same file prints — the shape where a comment becomes the most authoritative wrong thing in the file. Same family as #11032 and #11735 (a load-bearing comment that is accurate about behaviour and inaccurate about the governing decision), one notch lower in severity.

⛔ Deliberately NOT folded in — the API-surface axis needs its own decision

client.projects.* (the @objectstack/client SDK method names), the res.project / res.projects control-plane response fields, and the locals bound directly from them. #12153's body already lists these as needing their own card, and they are real API surface in other packages — a rename there is a breaking change with a migration story, not a comment sweep. ⛔ Do not let this card absorb them. The index.ts:1814 JSDoc above travels with that decision.

Duplicate check

Searched this round against the open domain:cli inventory and by keyword. Nearest neighbours are all closed and all covered the command name or README rather than the comment axis: #10967 / PR #11227 (command names in these same five files), #10881, #10927 (README os projects). No open card covers this. ⚠️ ⛔ The keyword search was not exhaustive against domain:devx.

Re-check

git grep -n -i "project" origin/main -- packages/cli/src/commands/environments/
git grep -n "Explicit project id" origin/main -- packages/cli/src/utils/api-client.ts

⛔ Reverse-check any zero with a term known present in the same file — and not a substring of project.

Container & model: S, mechanical, mode:subagent, model: sonnet. Adopting triage's "S-tier mechanical comment sweep" read; ⛔ no open judgement call remains once the API-surface axis is fenced out (below).
Clause-②: no — comment text only; no schema, key, or acceptance boundary.
Serial constraints cleared: nothing holds this surface. ⛔ packages/cli/src/commands/environments/** was last touched by PR #12429 (#12153), merged — released by the merge, not the arming (ruling ①). R39 siblings are #12281 (packages/runtime/src/dispatcher-plugin.ts) and #12404 (packages/types/src/response-envelope.ts), both disjoint. Surface does not intersect the #7898 H17 index.

⭐ Correcting this seat's own earlier reading, recorded because it changed the dispatch decision: this card was set aside a round ago as "partially fenced by PR #12421" on the belief that packages/client/src/index.ts:1814 was one of its sites. It is not. Triage's routing is explicit — "every named site lands in packages/cli/src/** (13 docblocks plus utils/api-client.ts:19)" — and the card's own body already places the SDK JSDoc on the API-surface axis, not the comment axis. ⛔ A card is not fenced by a file it does not touch, and this seat nearly left a fully-free card sitting behind a fence that was never on it.

⛔ The API-surface axis stays OUT, and it now has its own card

Triage's fence, held:

"⛔ the API-surface axis (client.projects.* SDK methods, res.project/res.projects response fields, packages/client/src/index.ts:1814) stays OUT — that is a breaking-change decision needing its own card … do not let this card absorb it."

That card is now #12473, filed by this seat. ⚠️ It was owed at #12153's acceptance and was not filed then — recorded on that card as late rather than quietly backdated.

Same-day churn

⚠️ PR #12429 merged today in these exact five files and rewrote 25 user-visible strings in them. The card's 14 docblock sites were censused before that landed. ⛔ Re-grep on current origin/main; ⛔ do not trust the card's line numbers or its count.

Proceeding per PM dispatch: comment-axis-only rename in the six named files (packages/cli/src/commands/environments/{list,bind,create,show,switch}.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/api-client.ts). Re-censusing on current origin/main before editing, since PR #12429 landed in these same files today.

Two candidate sites from the card's own 13+1 count, create.ts:12 and show.ts:12, were classified as quoting real identifiers (ProjectProvisioningService.provisionProject, client.projects.get(id)) rather than prose, so left untouched; api-client.ts:55 (a bare // comment) was a new site the card's JSDoc-shaped census missed.

核对 — verified against the diff on GitHub, not against the report:

6 files, 12 insertions / 12 deletions, every one of them inside a comment. Zero string literals, zero identifiers, zero behaviour. Surface held exactly.
裁决 2/3 hold on the delivered diff: the API-surface axis is untouched — client.projects.*, res.project/res.projects and every local bound from them survive verbatim, and the API-surface decision stays on [decision] Does the v5.0 project → environment rename extend to the API surface — client.projects.* and the res.project / res.projects response fields? #12473 where this seat filed it. The diff is legible on exactly this point: create.ts still reads "Delegates to ProjectProvisioningService.provisionProject" and show.ts still reads "same shape as client.projects.get(id)", beside prose that now says environment.
The 12 ≠ 13+1 gap is explained by a better classification than the card's, not by under-delivery, and the classification is the card's whole point: create.ts:12 and show.ts:12 were held back because they quote real identifiers, and api-client.ts:55 — a bare // comment — was added because the card's JSDoc-shaped census could not see it. ⭐ A census shaped by the comment syntax it expects will miss the comments written the other way; that is worth carrying to the next card in this family.
api-client.ts:19 confirmed exactly as the card described it: a docblock reading "Explicit project id" over a field named environmentId. That is the sharpest instance of the defect in the set.
Reverse-check is a reading, not a ritual: the post-edit project sweep returns only API-surface and identifier lines, and the positive control (environment → 85 hits over the same six files) proves the instrument was not merely silent.
check:i18n-coverage returning COULD NOT MEASURE on an unrelated missing dist/ is correctly reported as NOT MEASURED rather than laundered into green or red. That is the right call and it is what this seat wants to see; CI builds fresh and measures it there.

CI: 33 check runs, none red at the time of writing, several still in flight. Arming when every check is green — every check, not the required subset.
