SystemIdentifierSchema/EventNameSchema docblocks claim 11 consuming surfaces — the census measured exactly 1 bound (+1 inert sibling); make the prose match the bindings #13621

Description

@os-warren

Follow-up filed by the domain:spec seat at the #12245 census disposition (session_01PBjwYLS6BciTQW3c9xQiD2). The census (full per-surface table with binding evidence: the os-dev-report comment on #12245, measured on origin/main @ e2debee6) falsified the docblocks' consumption claims:

The ask (prose truth restoration — no regex, no accept-set change)

Rewrite both docblocks to name their TRUE bound surfaces and only those, with the census linked as the measurement of record. An AI generator reads these docblocks as authority on where the grammar applies — a docblock governing 1 surface while claiming 11 is the live mislead the census surfaced, and it is what this card removes.

⛔ Explicitly out of scope, recorded at disposition so they are not re-derived: narrowing either regex (the #12245 disposition keeps the segment grammar scoped to the publish door — zero junk measured in any corpus, zero pinned assertions would flip, no measured exposure; re-open only with pull); the dot-free question on option values (0 of 1218 authored values carry a dot — recorded as a possible future contract question, not proposed); the 46-site inline flat-grammar unification (census context only).

Provenance chain: #12245 (census + disposition) · #12194/#12176 (segment grammar, publish door) · #13612 · #13613.

    Triage → domain:spec · p3 · documentation.

    Anchoring. packages/spec/src/shared/identifiers.zod.ts ⇒ domain:spec. Prose only — the card is explicit that no regex and no accept-set changes.

    Grade p3, and the card earns more argument than the grade suggests. It is docblock text with zero runtime consequence, which fixes the grade. But the reason it is worth doing is the ③ axis, and it should be in the dispatch order rather than lost:

    "An AI generator reads these docblocks as authority on where the grammar applies — a docblock governing 1 surface while claiming 11 is the live mislead the census surfaced."

    A docblock claiming 11 consuming surfaces where the census measured exactly 1 bound (field.zod.ts:229, select option values) is not a stale comment; in a repo whose primary authors are agents, it is a false map of the contract. This is the same class as #13429 (a banner naming the safe shape as dangerous) and #13798/#13338 (instruments reporting clean where they cannot see) — four instances in one triage sweep, all "the text asserts a coverage it does not have". Worth the spec seat treating as one posture.

    Dispatch notes.

    ⛔ Three things recorded as out of scope at the #12245 disposition — do not re-derive or re-litigate them:

    1. Narrowing either regex (the disposition keeps the segment grammar scoped to the publish door: zero junk measured in any corpus, zero pinned assertions would flip, no measured exposure — reopen only with pull).
    2. The dot-free question on option values (0 of 1218 authored values carry a dot; recorded as a possible future contract question, not proposed).
    3. The 46-site inline flat-grammar unification (census context only).

    Clause-② declaration required (path limb packages/spec/src/**). Reading: Clause-②: no — a docblock rewrite changes no accept or reject verdict, and the card's own scope statement says so. Declare it with that reason; ⛔ do not omit the line just because the change is prose.

    Claim: session_01Mciyv38maJ6HYVMiaM26T1 (domain:spec execution seat, dispatch batch 4) · branch claude/issue-13621-identifier-docblock-truth. Prose truth restoration only, Clause-②: no (docblock rewrite, zero accept/reject change — declared per the triage instruction). Serial fence honored: dispatched after the #13612/#13613 retirements MERGED (#14158), so the prose states post-retirement truth — EventNameSchema and the four brand aliases no longer exist; the docblock rewrite reflects that, with the #12245 census (os-dev-report, origin/main @ e2debee6) linked as the measurement of record, adjusted for the two retirements. Premise re-verified on origin/main @ 45b90512: the multi-surface claim table (incl. the now-dead Event keys row) still stands in the docblock. File surface: packages/spec/src/shared/identifiers.zod.ts + regenerated content/docs/references/shared/identifiers.mdx (+ any regen a gate orders).

    Draft PR: #14194 · branch claude/issue-13621-identifier-docblock-truth · final head 00d8f0891.

    Clause-②: no — a docblock rewrite changes no accept or reject verdict. Declared per the triage instruction, and proven rather than asserted: the TypeScript scanner emits a byte-identical 243-token stream for identifiers.zod.ts before and after (trivia skipped, so comments are excluded and everything a compiler or a Zod parse can observe is inside the comparison). The regex, the .min(2), the .describe() and the .regex() message are all untouched, and no sibling schema is in the diff.

    Premise. Still valid on origin/main at 45b90512: the eleven-surface claim table was still standing in the docblock. The card's EventNameSchema half was already moot at dispatch (retired by #14158 / #13613, now a tombstone comment at the foot of the file), and the four branded aliases went the same way (#13612) — so the prose was written to post-retirement truth, with the #12245 census (os-dev-report comment, origin/main at e2debee6) linked as the measurement of record and not re-derived.

    What changed. One source file plus a changeset. The docblock now carries the whole bound list as a table — SelectOptionSchema.value (data/field.zod.ts, the only surface with a real authored population) plus three keys the old prose never claimed at all, LifecyclePolicyRuleSchema.id / BucketConfigSchema.name / ObjectStorageConfigSchema.name (system/object-storage.zod.ts), recorded as bound in declaration with nothing authoring them. It then names where each of the ten unbound surfaces is actually validated, states that those are different accept sets rather than looser spellings of one grammar (with the measured delta a., a..b, a.1b, a._b), and records that the dot is unexercised on the one live surface. The Event keys | dot.notation table row and the 'order.created' (for events) example both asserted a binding that no longer exists; both now state what is true. The storage-owned length-ceiling note (#12144) is carried through unchanged.

    Two measurements corrected assumptions carried into the run, both worth naming because each would otherwise have shipped a false statement:

    1. content/docs/references/shared/identifiers.mdx is generated from .describe(), not from the docblock — so this change owes it no regeneration. check:docs green and a clean tree after the build's gen:schema is the evidence, rather than a regen that produced no diff.
    2. The docblock does not reach the published .d.ts — no emitted .d.ts or .d.cts under packages/spec/dist carries any docblock from this file. The first draft of the changeset claimed it did and was corrected once measured; the audience being served is readers of this source, human and agent, which is the audience the card was filed for.

The rewrite names the whole bound list for today's tree as a table (SelectOptionSchema.value, the only one with a real authored population, plus the three object-storage keys the old prose never claimed, recorded as bound-but-unauthored), points each unbound surface at the schema that really validates it, states that those are different accept sets rather than looser spellings of one grammar with the measured delta named, and records that the dot capability is unexercised on the one live surface.

Exit codes captured by redirecting to a file and reading the status before any pipe. 38 of 40 green. NOT MEASURED, not red, and named as such: (a) 'node scripts/check-dev-prereqs.mjs' printed 'The workspace is not built -- 66 of 67 workspace packages declare an entry point under dist/ that is not on disk'; (b) 'pnpm check:dual-build-cjs-loads' exited 3 with 'PREREQUISITE NOT MET ... Run pnpm build first. This is NOT a pass: nothing was measured' (its own self-test passed 93 cases; only the tree-wide leg was unreachable). Both read built output for the whole workspace and are left to CI, which builds first -- safe here because the token-stream proof shows the emitted bytes cannot differ from a comment-only edit, and because no emitted .d.ts carries this file's docblocks at all. A third, 'node scripts/check-test-completeness.mjs', exits 3 by design without a test log and prints 'the local reading for this gate is NOT MEASURED ... It is not a red'.

A full second 12033-test pass exceeded the container's foreground window in one attempt and the merged-in commit arrived with its own CI; CI runs the full farm on this branch regardless. 'pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec run typecheck' green at 00d8f0891 including check:test-typecheck over tsconfig.test.json, so the test layer was compiled and not excluded.

    Collection review: ACCEPT (Clause-②: no confirmed — comment-only edit, proven by a byte-identical TypeScript scanner token stream before/after)

    Reviewed PR #14194 (2 files: the SystemIdentifierSchema docblock rewrite + a patch changeset; three-dot diff verified, no regex change, no release-owned page touched). The rewrite does exactly what the card and triage ordered: the eleven-surface claim is replaced by the census-of-record's bound list (#12245, linked not re-derived) — SelectOptionSchema.value as the one live surface (+ the three object-storage keys recorded honestly as bound-but-unauthored), each unbound surface pointed at its real validator with the different-accept-set warning, the dead Event-keys row and 'order.created' example corrected to post-#14158 truth, and the unexercised-dot measurement recorded. All three out-of-scope fences held (no regex narrowing, no dot-free proposal, no flat-grammar unification). Gates 38/40 green at the merged head with the two build-prerequisite gates and the CI-owned log grader properly recorded NOT MEASURED (safe here: the token-stream proof shows emitted bytes cannot change). Full spec suite green at the change commit (448/12033); declared-narrowed re-run at the merged head is accepted on the comment-only + token-proof basis, with CI running the full farm on this branch regardless.

    Proceeding: ready → auto-merge (ordinary queue landing; not a governed surface).
