validateExpression's unknown-function refusal hands the author the dialect prescription - advice that cannot succeed on a source that is already bare CEL

Summary

validateExpression refuses an unknown CEL function correctly, then hands the author a
prescription that cannot succeed: it tells them to write bare CEL, on a source that already
is bare CEL. This is the same defect #7073 / PR #7209 repaired for the bounds class,
still live for the type class.

Measured

packages/formula @ 936aa2d3a, @marcbachmann/cel-js@8.0.0:

validateExpression('predicate', "record.x.nosuchmethod('a')").errors[0].message

  invalid CEL predicate: found no matching overload for 'dyn.nosuchmethod(string)'

  >    1 | record.x.nosuchmethod('a')
           ^ - predicates are bare CEL (e.g. `record.rating >= 4`).

The front half is right and is cel-js's own vocabulary, matching the runtime fault exactly.
The trailer after the dash is the generic dialect prescription. The same trailer is attached
to totallyBogusFn(1,2), current_user.can(object, verb), and every other unknown-function
refusal.

Why it is wrong

In validate.ts the hint is chosen as:

const hint = (compiled.error.kind === 'bounds' ? boundsHint(source) : null) ?? bracesHint(source);

so a type fault gets bracesHint, which returns null for a source with no {x} brace, and
falls through to the default dialect trailer. The dialect is not what is wrong: the source is
already a bare CEL predicate and parses fine. What is wrong is one name.

This is precisely the reasoning boundsHint's own doc-comment gives for the class it repaired:
"an author who obeys the last sentence they were given - an LLM author above all - rewrites the
dialect, learns nothing, and comes back with the same" broken expression. A type fault is in
the same position: the last sentence the author is handed points at the one thing that is
correct.

Why it matters here specifically

#13594 documents that this refusal is the publish-time guard against the failure mode an
AI-authored app is most likely to hit - a plausible-looking function name that does not exist
is exactly what a generator invents - and that the runtime consequence is fail-closed and
near-silent (the action is hidden for every user including ones holding the grant). The guard
fires correctly today; the self-correction message that ADR-0032 Decision 1d exists to provide
is the part that misdirects.

Suggested direction (not a decision)

Give the type class its own prescription, the way bounds got one: name the unknown
function, and point at the callable set rather than at the dialect. introspectScope already
publishes CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS for exactly this audience.

A did-you-mean suggestion needs care and may be worth omitting. Measured: nearestName is
exported and reusable, but against the function set it answers
nearestName('can', CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS) with 'min' - a suggestion across an unrelated
namespace, which is worse than silence. nearestName('isBlnk', ...) correctly gives
'isBlank', so a threshold that admits real typos and refuses distant matches is the shape to
aim for, if one is shipped at all.

Filed unassigned from the #13594 dev seat while measuring that card; no repair attempted here,
and out of that card's scope. Searched the 390 open issues before filing - no duplicate.

Premise re-verified on `origin/main` @ `4d672c4f` this round, ⛔ not inherited

packages/formula/src/validate.ts:405:

const hint = (compiled.error.kind === 'bounds' ? boundsHint(source) : null) ?? bracesHint(source);

Byte-for-byte what the card quotes. ⇒ A type fault takes bracesHint, which returns null for a source with no {x} brace, and falls through to the generic dialect trailer. Positive controls fired on the same instrument: bracesHint / nearestName and CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS both resolve in this package. Card fully live. Locate by symbol, not by line — :405 is today's reading, not a promise.

ZONE 1 — RULINGS. Not re-adjudicable.

① Give the type class its own prescription, the way bounds got one in #7073 / PR #7209. It must name the unknown function and point at the callable set (introspectScope already publishes CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS for exactly this audience). ⛔ It must not point at the dialect.

The reason is in boundsHint's own doc-comment and it is the point of the card: "an author who obeys the last sentence they were given — an LLM author above all — rewrites the dialect, learns nothing, and comes back with the same" broken expression. Today the last sentence an author is handed points at the one thing that is already correct.

② ⚠️ did-you-mean: MEASURED DANGEROUS. ⛔ Never ship it without a threshold. The card measured both directions and both readings bind you:

nearestName('can', CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS) → 'min' — a suggestion across an unrelated namespace, worse than silence;
nearestName('isBlnk', …) → 'isBlank' — correct, and the reason a suggestion is worth having at all.

⇒ Two acceptable outcomes, and only two: ship it with a threshold that admits real typos and refuses distant matches, or omit the suggestion entirely. ⛔ A threshold-less did-you-mean is not acceptable. If you ship a threshold, pin both measured cases — 'can' must produce no suggestion, 'isBlnk' must produce 'isBlank'. Those two are the test.

③ ⛔ Scope fence: this card changes the MESSAGE, nothing else. No rule id, no severity, no match set, no gate behaviour. The guard already works correctly — the card is explicit that what is broken is only the self-correction text ADR-0032 Decision 1d exists to provide.

④ ⛔ CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS is READ-ONLY. Point at it; do not add to, remove from, or rename it.

ZONE 2 — The boundary with #13933, and why it does not block you

#13933 is an open decision card ruling whether CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS stays a declared subset of 35, widens to the 39 bare-callables, or gets renamed. Triage's reading, which I carry across: this card points at the set, and that is independent of the set's boundary. If #13933 later changes its shape, this message follows it. ⛔ Do not block on #13933, ⛔ do not pre-empt its ruling by "fixing" the set, and ⛔ do not hard-code a count of members into the message — a message that states "35 functions" would be falsified by that ruling. Refer to the set, not to its size.

Evidence bar

The defect is which sentence the author is handed, so the pin must assert the specific prescription text for a type fault — ⛔ not that "an error fires", which is already true today.

Red-before, reproduced from the card: validateExpression('predicate', "record.x.nosuchmethod('a')") currently yields "...found no matching overload for 'dyn.nosuchmethod(string)'" followed by the dialect trailer "predicates are bare CEL (e.g. record.rating >= 4)".
⭐ Keep the front half intact — it is cel-js's own vocabulary and matches the runtime fault exactly. Only the trailer after the dash is wrong. A repair that rewrites the whole message loses the accurate half.
Keep a bounds-class control that still earns boundsHint unchanged — that is what proves you routed a new class rather than replacing the shared tail for everyone.

Ablate on the committed tree: revert the routing, show the type-class assertion red while the bounds control stays green, restore and prove it (empty git diff HEAD).

⛔ Verify claims about main against origin/main, never the shared working tree. ⛔ A zero-hit is not a reading until a positive control fires.

Gates and deliverable

Derive your gate family at your actual diff (node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands) and run it; exit codes captured by redirect before any pipe. A prerequisite-not-met gate is NOT MEASURED, never a pass. ⚠️ This package has drift tests (cel-stdlib-drift.test.ts, skill-catalog-sync.test.ts) that read these symbols — expect them in your family and run them.

Draft PR to main, body carrying Fixes #13821, plus a changeset. ⛔ Do not flip ready, enqueue, or enable auto-merge. Post your final report as a comment on #13821 first, then return it — machine-checkable fields only, plus your did-you-mean decision (threshold or omit) and the two pinned cases.

One note on the claim above, recorded rather than acted on: it places CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS in

⛔ My own claim comment was wrong on one point — correcting it

I wrote that CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS lives in packages/formula/src/cel-engine.ts. It does not — it lives in validate.ts, the file this card edits; SCOPE_ROOTS is the symbol in cel-engine.ts. The dev caught it and recorded it rather than quietly working around it. The fence held as intended (the set is neither reshaped nor renamed, and cel-engine.ts is untouched), but the fence as written pointed at the wrong file, and a dev that had obeyed it literally would have been fenced out of the file it needed to edit.

⭐ Three things here are better than what I dispatched

1. The scope reading — which I did not ask for and which prevents a fresh false statement. cel-js emits one message shape for two different faults: a name that resolves to nothing (upperr(...)) and a real function handed arguments no overload accepts (upper(1, 2) → found no matching overload for 'upper(int, int)'). My ruling said "name the unknown function" — which is undefined when there is no unknown function. Telling that second author upper "is not a callable name" would have replaced a useless sentence with a false one, which is a strictly worse outcome than the bug. The arm therefore fires only when the name is absent from the advertised catalog, and the fall-through is pinned (upper(1,2), 1 + 'a', a ternary mismatch — each asserting the dialect trailer stays and NAME fault does not appear).

2. "not a callable name HERE" — the one word that keeps the message true. CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS is a curated bare-callable subset, not an existence oracle: ~33 further cel-js names are callable only on a receiver (record.name.split(',') works, bare split(...) faults and lands in this arm). So the message says the name cannot be called in this position and points at what is advertised — and never claims the name does not exist. A less careful repair would have shipped a confidently wrong sentence to every author using a receiver-only builtin.

3. ⭐ A pin that protects another pin from going vacuous. The silence pin asserts can earns no suggestion. But that pin only means something while the shared heuristic would otherwise have offered min. So there is a third pin: expect(nearestName('can', CEL_STDLIB_FUNCTIONS)).toBe('min'). If the shared budget ever changes, the local threshold stops being the thing protecting the message — and this pin reds instead of the silence pin quietly becoming a tautology. That is a failure mode most suites never defend against.

The did-you-mean ruling — honoured, and the threshold is argued rather than tuned

Shipped with a threshold: distance ≤ floor(max(len) / 3) in a local nearestCallable; the shared nearestName budget is untouched, so field-name suggestions are unaffected. Both measured cases pinned in the required directions: isBlnk → isBlank; can → no suggestion, and min explicitly absent from the message. The docblock states why the budget is proportional rather than floored, and says outright that losing either case is a regression, not a tuning.

The #13933 boundary — enforced mechanically, not promised

I asked in prose for no hard-coded member count. That became a test:

expect(message).not.toMatch(/\b\d+\s+(?:functions|names|entries)\b/);

⇒ A future edit that writes "35 functions" into the message reds here instead of being silently falsified by #13933's eventual ruling. A prose instruction turned into a gate is the right conversion.

Evidence

Ablation reverting only the routing block: 7 type-class assertions red, 68 passed, and the bounds control stayed green — the contrast that proves a new class was routed rather than the shared tail replaced for everyone. Mutation proven by blob hash before the run, restore proven by empty git diff HEAD and the hash returning. No rebuild owed: the test imports ./validate as a same-package relative source path, and the red run with no build in between demonstrates that rather than asserting it. Package suite 679/679; the two drift tests I flagged (cel-stdlib-drift, skill-catalog-sync) confirmed green by name in a verbose run.

Deviations — accepted

Declared ESLint narrowing with all three evidences, including the population read from ESLint itself.
3 gates NOT MEASURED (exit 3, prerequisite banners), quoted from their own verdicts, ⛔ never counted as passes.
⚠️ typecheck does not read the edited test file — this package excludes tests from its tsconfig with no sibling test project. Closed with a throwaway tests-inclusive config (0 errors in the edited file; 17 pre-existing errors in 5 other untouched test files) and the probe config deleted, rather than changing the package's config, which would have been out of scope. The right call — and the same gap [finding] packages/lint has no tsc program that compiles its tests — the 2,700-line rule pin file, receiver scan included, is type-checked by nobody #14173 records for packages/lint.
One downstream lint test NOT MEASURED (fails to load on an unbuilt @objectstack/sdui-parser) — an import chain unrelated to this diff.
