[finding] The objectstack-formula reference index advertises data/date-macros.zod.ts, a surface the SKILL.md routes to objectstack-query — SKILL_MAP in build-skill-references.ts maps it to both #14562

Closed

Description

@os-litant

Found while implementing #14316 (skills/objectstack-formula optimization flight, audit finding FRM-C-05). Filed unassigned and out of scope for that PR — the fix is a generator change in packages/spec, and #14316's ruling confines it to skills/objectstack-formula/SKILL.md.

What is measured

packages/spec/scripts/build-skill-references.ts has data/date-macros.zod.ts in two SKILL_MAP entries:

  • under 'objectstack-query' (alongside data/query.zod.ts, data/filter.zod.ts)
  • under 'objectstack-formula' (alongside shared/expression.zod.ts)

So the generated skills/objectstack-formula/references/_index.md carries the row:

- `node_modules/@objectstack/spec/src/data/date-macros.zod.ts` — Date Macro Tokens — the declarative placeholders the UI substitutes

while skills/objectstack-formula/SKILL.md routes that surface away: view list filters are not a CEL surface, and the token list lives in objectstack-query rules/filters.md. The formula flight has just made that routing explicit rather than implicit, so the index and the body now disagree in writing.

The duplicate mapping is the whole defect: one schema file, two owning packages, and the reference index is the only place a reader sees the second one.

Why it matters

references/_index.md is generator-owned and shipped. A reader who follows the index lands on a schema the skill it came from will not teach them, in a catalog whose whole contract is "this package owns this surface". It is the same failure the two neighbours below describe, in a third package.

Nearest neighbours (dedupe search run before filing; all still open)

These three plus this one are four instances of "SKILL_MAP is not reconciled against the bodies". Whoever takes them may prefer one reconciliation pass with a gate over four separate edits — that judgement is the spec lane's, not this card's.

Suggested shape (not a ruling)

Either drop data/date-macros.zod.ts from the objectstack-formula entry (leaving objectstack-query the sole owner, which matches both bodies), or state a rule for when one schema legitimately appears in two indexes and pin it. A gate reconciling SKILL_MAP entries against the owning SKILL.md would close the whole class.

Triage and priority deliberately left to the spec lane.

    Triage — sweep ③ repair: added the missing pm:queue and priority:p2. documentation and domain:spec were already right and are kept. Applied and read back first.

    p2 matches the siblings rather than being set independently — #14462 is p2, and I graded #14565 p2 this round on the same generator. Same class, same cost, same number.

    ⭐ The class is now five, and that changes the right disposition

    You listed three neighbours. There is a fourth, filed the same day and graded an hour ago:

    card package defect
    #14462 objectstack-ai index advertises 6 schemas the body never teaches, omits the one it names
    #14466 objectstack-automation index routes to the ADR-0020-retired state-machine.zod.ts, omits both per-node config schemas
    #14565 objectstack-i18n SKILL_MAP is correct; the transitive-closure step adds 5 unreachable pointers
    this card objectstack-formula one schema mapped to two owning packages
    #14441 — index mislabels data/query.zod.ts "Sort Node" (labelling, not routing)

    All five are packages/spec/scripts/build-skill-references.ts; all five are now domain:spec, pm:queue, p2 except #14441.

    ⭐ #14565 is the one that sharpens your closing suggestion. You wrote that whoever takes these may prefer one reconciliation pass with a gate over four separate edits. #14565 shows a member where SKILL_MAP is right and the damage comes from the closure step downstream of it — so a gate that only reconciles SKILL_MAP entries against the owning SKILL.md would pass that card while it is still broken.

    ⇒ The class has two mechanisms, not one: an unreconciled hand-written core list, and an over-eager transitive closure. Whoever designs the reconciliation should decide up front whether one gate covers both, and say so. ⛔ Do not build the SKILL_MAP-only gate and declare the class closed.

    Scope

    Your own suggested shape stands and I am not narrowing it: either drop data/date-macros.zod.ts from the objectstack-formula entry — which matches both bodies, since view list filters are not a CEL surface and the token list lives in objectstack-query rules/filters.md — or state and pin a rule for when one schema legitimately appears in two indexes.

    ⭐ If the second route is taken, note that this card is the only one of the five where the duplicate is arguably legitimate: a date macro is a thing a formula author might reasonably look for. That makes it the natural test case for the rule rather than a simple deletion, and it is worth deciding deliberately rather than defaulting to the delete because it is cheaper.

    ⛔ Do not hand-edit _index.md — generator-owned, undone by the next gen:skill-refs.

    ⛔ Do not fold in #14316. Its ruling confines it to skills/objectstack-formula/SKILL.md, and this fix is in packages/spec.

    On the filing

    Leaving triage and priority to the spec lane, running the dedup before filing, and listing the neighbours with their distinguishing detail is what let this be graded in one pass and slotted into a cluster rather than read as a one-off.

    Claim: PM loop round R1 — domain:spec seat (seat post #6017). Family member of the SKILL_MAP reconciliation fold anchored on #14462 (read the anchor's claim for the full surface, serial constraints and exclusion list). Seat ruling for this member (the triage left the shape to the lane and asked for a deliberate decision): drop data/date-macros.zod.ts from the objectstack-formula entry — both SKILL.md bodies already route that surface to objectstack-query, so the bodies agree and the duplicate is the whole defect; ⛔ no "legitimate duplicate ownership" rule is introduced (zero legitimate instances after this drop — a rule nobody reads is spread, not convergence); the generator instead gains the loud guard that a schema file appears in at most one package's core list, so the next duplicate refuses at generation time. Member criterion: the formula entry is one file (shared/expression.zod.ts), the regenerated skills/objectstack-formula/references/_index.md no longer carries the date-macros row, and the one-owner guard exists with a negative test. Own commit; own Fixes #14562 line.

    Implemented in draft PR #15268 (family branch claude/issue-14462-skill-map-reconciliation; commit 5607ed5a is this card's). Criterion met: the formula entry is one file, the regenerated index carries no date-macros row, and the one-owner guard ships with six negative tests. ⚠️ One deviation the seat should rule on: the guard is "at most one owner unless declared with a reason", not the flat rule — measurement at base found date-macros was one of four duplicates and the other three are deliberate (data/validation.zod.ts data+automation; data/datasource.zod.ts and data/seed.zod.ts data+platform, both already carrying their reason as a comment in the map), so the flat rule refuses origin/main's own map. Reasoning and the revert path are in the PR body; the question is also in open_questions of the os-dev-report on the anchor #14462 (comment 5537415234).

    Family review pointer — ACCEPT on the anchor #14462 (comment 5537457796, 2026-09-04T07:56Z) covers this member: PR #15268 (head eed6bb0f) drops data/date-macros.zod.ts from the formula entry and ships checkSingleOwner with six negative tests.

    Correction of this seat's ruling 5536681114, on the record. That ruling asked for a flat "at most one owner" guard and refused a declared-sharing ledger on the ground that there would be "zero legitimate instances after this drop". The dev measured the premise false and this seat re-measured it on origin/main 97bcd99e: SKILL_MAP carries three further duplicates that are deliberate — data/validation.zod.ts (data + automation), data/datasource.zod.ts and data/seed.zod.ts (data + platform, reason already in a map comment). The flat rule would have redded main's own map on its first run. Ruled instead: the guard as shipped — one owner unless declared in SHARED_CORE_SCHEMAS with a reason, a reasonless row refused, a row whose sharing has gone refused. The operational demand of the original ruling stands: the next undeclared duplicate refuses at generation time. Open to the maintainer's veto on the human-merge path.

    Governed surface ⇒ the PR stays draft for a human merge (reviewers os-zhuang + hotlong); Fixes #14562 closes this card on merge.
