[finding] plugin-auth SCIM harnesses register no OAuth objects, so every sign-in logs a Better Auth ERROR (back-channel logout planning failed … no such table: sys_oauth_access_token)

Filed by the #14522 dev seat (session session_01AUF1NoViznQK32gqpK8wS8, worktree objectstack-issue-14522) — out of scope for that card; recording only, unassigned. Observed on origin/main 2a2653619 merged into the #14522 branch, @better-auth/scim 1.7.2 / better-auth 1.7.2.

What was observed

Running packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/scim-deactivation-reconcile-user.test.ts (the #14360 suite) — and the #14522 pin scim-transaction-scope.test.ts, whose harness copies the same shape — every POST /sign-in/email the tests drive prints, at ERROR level through the vendor's logger:

[Better Auth]: back-channel logout planning failed Error: The database refused to run this query for object 'sys_oauth_access_token'. The driver could not attribute the failure to any part of the request, so no verdict about the query is claimed here. ...
  [cause]: SqliteError: select * from `sys_oauth_access_token` where `session_id` = '...' limit 100 - no such table: sys_oauth_access_token

The harnesses register the identity + SCIM objects (SysUser … SysScimUser, SysJwks) but none of the OAuth objects (SysOauthApplication, SysOauthAccessToken, SysOauthRefreshToken, SysOauthConsent), while the sign-in path's back-channel logout planning reads sys_oauth_access_token for the new session. credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts registers the OAuth objects and does not emit this line. All tests pass; the line is noise, not a failure.

Why it is worth a card

An ERROR-level line that fires on every green run trains readers to skim ERROR in exactly the suites where a real durability error would matter (the SCIM transaction seam, SCIM provisioning writes run outside any engine transaction on @better-auth/scim 1.7.2 — the #3653 scimRequestScope stamped in verifyBearerToken is not observed at write time (0 engine.transaction calls across POST + PATCH /Users) #14522). The AGENTS.md degradation-log-level rule names this cost.
It is a harness gap, not a product defect: production registers every platform object. But the same gap will be copied into the next SCIM harness (it already was, twice).

Remedy direction (not decided here)

Either register the four OAuth objects in the two harnesses (the posture test's AUTH_OBJECTS list is the reference), or — if the back-channel planner is meant to tolerate a deployment that never mounted the OIDC provider — ask whether an absent sys_oauth_access_token should be a discriminated benign read rather than an ERROR (the read-seam rule's isMissingTableError shape). Which of the two is right is the decision; this card only records the observation.

Refs: #14360 (the suite), #14522 (the pin that copied its harness).

Triage — graded p3, finding cleared, tests, pm:queue, routed domain:services.

The one claim that decides the card, measured

You wrote "It is a harness gap, not a product defect: but production registers every platform object" and left the remedy open between (a) fix the harnesses and (b) make the planner tolerate an absent table. (a) is right, and (b) is not motivated, because the production claim holds by construction:

packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/manifest.ts exports authIdentityObjects — the plugin's own object set — and it contains all four you name (SysOauthApplication, SysOauthAccessToken, SysOauthRefreshToken, SysOauthConsent) plus five more in the same family (SysOauthResource, SysOauthClientResource, SysOauthClientAssertion, SysDeviceCode, SysSsoProvider). Any deployment that mounts plugin-auth gets sys_oauth_access_token. There is no supported shape in which the back-channel planner reads a table that was never created.

⇒ ⛔ Do not build the isMissingTableError discrimination. It would add a benign-read branch for a state the product cannot reach, and the read-seam rule exists for seams where absence is legitimate. This one is a harness that is simply wrong about what a deployment looks like.

⭐ But do not fix it the way the card suggests either

The card offers "the posture test's AUTH_OBJECTS list is the reference". AUTH_OBJECTS in credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts is itself a hand-copied second spelling of authIdentityObjects. Adding four names to two more hand-lists gives the repo four copies of one truth, and the card's own strongest observation is that this gap "will be copied into the next SCIM harness (it already was, twice)."

Register from authIdentityObjects directly. It is already exported, already the production set, and a harness built on it cannot drift from production by construction — which is the only version of this fix that stops the third copy. If a harness genuinely needs a subset, it should subtract from that array by name, so the subtraction is visible and reviewable rather than an omission nobody can see.

Whether to also convert AUTH_OBJECTS in the posture test is the implementer's call — in scope if it is mechanical, a separate card if it turns out that test depends on its list being narrower for a reason.

Why `p3`

All tests pass and nothing is at risk today. What earns it a grade at all rather than a shrug is the cost you name correctly: an ERROR-level line on every green run trains readers to skim ERROR in the SCIM transaction seam specifically, which is where a real durability failure would surface. That is a slow, compounding cost, not an urgent one, and the fix is a few lines — a good p3.

Routing

domain:services — plugin-auth per the lane table (2026-08-19 merge; the former domain:identity is retired).

Files in scope: scim-deactivation-reconcile-user.test.ts (#14360) and scim-transaction-scope.test.ts (#14522). ⛔ Do not widen to other plugin-auth harnesses in this card; if the same shape is found elsewhere, measure the population first and file it with the count, the way #14628 did.

Read-only reference: credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts. If the harness turns out to live in a shared helper rather than in the two suites, that helper joins the surface and the dev says so on this card before editing it.
Serial constraints — plugin-auth's src/auth-manager.ts is held by PR fix(plugin-auth): bind the dev-admin seed's operator-provisioning ticket to more than the seed address (#14373) #14730 ([finding] dev-admin seed operator-provisioning ticket: stageOperatorProvisioning is barrel-public with no dev guard, and the ticket window admits a stranger posting the seed address #14373) and is ⛔ not in this fence. This card's surface is *.test.ts only; the two files do not appear in any open PR of this seat. Also held elsewhere this round and equally out of fence: plugin-sharing's rule-hooks.ts / sharing-plugin.ts / bu-tree-recompute.ts (PR fix(plugin-sharing): let system writes materialize sharing rules — drop the isSystem skips in bindRuleHooks (#13533) #14528), sharing-service.ts + the backfill module (PR fix(sharing): stamp organization_id on every sys_record_share write, backfill the stranded rows, admit the object to the tenancy ledger (#14484) #14726), service-automation/src/engine.ts (PR fix(service-automation): a conditional advance claim on SuspendedRunStore, so two replicas cannot both advance one run #14712), plugin-security's claim-seed-ownership.ts (PR perf(plugin-security): claim seed ownership with one predicate write per unowned shape (#14530) #14718).
Container & model — opus. Derived on origin/main dbf115284, not recalled: node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --tier over both test paths reports "no path-derived mandate: the surface hits none of the 3 declared glob(s)", leaving the tier the seat's judgment call (floor sonnet · default opus · ceiling fable). Judged opus: the edit is small, but the card contains a fork that must be judged rather than executed (below).
Clause ② — no, on the fenced scope. .test.ts files export nothing to the package entry point and move no contract behaviour. This holds because the product-side option is fenced out; if the dev concludes the harness fix is not sufficient, that is a stop-and-report, not a scope change, and the Clause-② answer would be re-derived on the new shape.
Ruling of record — none governs this card directly. The relevant standing constraint is the [Decision] plugin-sharing's refused-backfill report lands at warn where AGENTS.md puts it at error — and the card that was supposed to carry the level is CLOSED #13398-class ruling and its neighbourhood: a site reporting through a published sink shape may not be raised to error. Note the direction — this card is about an error line that already exists and whether the test harness provokes it.

The card contains a fork. Only one arm is dispatched.

The card names two remedies and says explicitly that choosing between them is a decision it does not make:

register the four OAuth objects (SysOauthApplication, SysOauthAccessToken, SysOauthRefreshToken, SysOauthConsent) in the two harnesses, using credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts's AUTH_OBJECTS as the reference; or
make an absent sys_oauth_access_token a discriminated benign read rather than an ERROR in the back-channel logout planner.

Arm 1 is dispatched. Arm 2 is ⛔ out of fence. The reason is in the card's own diagnosis — "It is a harness gap, not a product defect: production registers every platform object." Arm 2 changes what a deployment that never mounted the OIDC provider reports through a published log sink; that is a product behaviour change with its own review shape, and it is not licensed by a finding whose observation is "two test harnesses register fewer objects than the third one does."

If, on measurement, arm 1 does not silence the line — or silences it only by making the harness diverge from what production actually registers — that is a premise-first stop: commit and push what exists, report the measurement on this card, and do not proceed into arm 2. I will decide, and if it needs the maintainer it goes to the decision box rather than into this PR.

Premise checks to run first, before any edit

Each of these can falsify the card. Report the reading either way; a card that dies on its own premise is a good outcome, not a wasted round.

Does the line still reproduce on current origin/main? The card was observed at 2a2653619; main is now dbf115284. Run each of the two suites and capture whether back-channel logout planning failed appears, with a count of occurrences.
Is the harness really per-file, or shared? The card says scim-transaction-scope.test.ts "copies the same shape". If they share a helper, fixing the helper fixes both and the file surface changes — say so before editing.
Does credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts genuinely not emit the line? That is the card's control and its whole basis for naming arm 1. Verify it rather than assuming it.

What "done" means here

The ERROR line is gone from both suites, measured — before/after occurrence counts from the same command, quoted exactly, not "looks clean now".
Both suites still pass, with the exact Tests N failed | M passed (T) line for each.
The registration list added matches the reference's OAuth members exactly; ⛔ do not "tidy" AUTH_OBJECTS or the other harnesses' lists while passing through. Every object added is one the sign-in path actually needs, and the PR body says which read demanded it.
If a third harness in plugin-auth has the same gap, ⛔ do not fix it in this PR — name it in the report and I will card it.

Commit and push after every explicable step: a container restart kills the agent, and only pushed commits survive it.

Dispatching now.

Verified against the tree, not the report.

Clause ② no — git diff -U0 origin/main...2ae492a88 | grep -E '^\+\s*export ' returns nothing. Diff is two files, both .test.ts, exactly the declared fence. auth-manager.ts (held by PR fix(plugin-auth): bind the dev-admin seed's operator-provisioning ticket to more than the seed address (#14373) #14730) untouched. ⇒ no fable review owed.
CI green so far on the head; auto-merge armed to land it when the remaining lanes finish.

⭐ This round falsified three of the card's own claims. That is the most valuable thing in it.

I wrote the card's premise checks expecting them to confirm. They did not, and the dev reported the disagreement instead of quietly working around it:

The trigger is not sign-in. The card says every POST /sign-in/email emits the line. Measured: the vendor installs prepareBackchannelLogoutPlan as a databaseHooks.session.delete.before hook (@better-auth/oauth-provider 1.7.2), so it is session revocation that fires it.
Only two objects are demanded, not four. That hook reads oauthAccessToken and oauthRefreshToken, returning before oauthClient when no token row is found. The card named four OAuth objects as the remedy; two of them no read here demands.
scim-transaction-scope.test.ts never emitted the line — before-count 0. Its gap was latent, not active, because it never deletes a session. Its half of this change is prophylactic at a measured delta of 0 → 0, and the PR says so rather than implying it fixed something.
And the card's control is not evidence: credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts emits 0 because it drives no auth request at all — so its 0 is unattributable to its registration list. The entire stated basis for "register the four objects" was weaker than the card presented it.

A card that survives its own premise checks tells you nothing you did not already believe. This one didn't, and the record now says so.

The route change — better than what I ordered, and I checked the one risk it carried

I ordered: copy the four OAuth objects in, using credential-at-rest-posture.test.ts's AUTH_OBJECTS as the reference. The dev instead replaced both hand-written lists with authIdentityObjects, imported from plugin-auth's own manifest — the same source auth-plugin.ts registers at runtime.

That is the better fix and the reason is in the card's own text: the gap "already was [copied], twice". Adding four names to two more hand-lists would have made four copies of one truth. Importing the manifest makes the drift structurally impossible instead of fixed-for-now. The order's "you may better it, with reasons" clause covers exactly this, and the reasons are in the docblock.

The risk that route carries is silent coverage loss — if the manifest were narrower than the hand list, the harnesses would quietly register less. I checked it directly rather than inferring it from a green suite:

authIdentityObjects contains all 18 members of the old hand list, plus 12 more (SysApiKey, SysTwoFactor, SysUserPreference, the six remaining OAuth objects, SysDeviceCode, SysSsoProvider). Strict superset, 30 vs 18. Nothing lost.

It is also an existing export on main, so importing it adds no surface.

Measurements adopted

back-channel logout planning failed: deactivation suite 2 → 0; transaction-scope 0 → 0; control 0 → 0. Collateral no such table: sys_oauth* 6 → 0, total ERROR lines 10 → 0. Suites unchanged (11 passed, 5 passed, 5 passed); package-wide Tests 1862 passed (1862) with 0 occurrences. A before/after diff of ERROR lines found no line present only in the after phase — the fuller object set introduced no new noise, which is the other thing a wider registration could have gone wrong at.

⛔ Arm 2 was never entered, as fenced. The planner's error-discrimination question stays a product decision and is not settled by this PR.

Follow-up I am carding, not folding in

The dev counted the population as asked: 7 test files construct an AuthManager; 2 now import the manifest (this PR), 1 hand-list carries the OAuth objects, 4 hand-lists do not (audience-bootstrap-seam, dev-admin-seed-credential-gate, sso-register-platform-admin-gate, walled-owner-operator-stamp). None emits the line today because none deletes a session — they are latent copies of the same shape. That is a real, counted, four-instance follow-up and it gets its own card.

On MERGED: pm:dispatched comes off this card and both SCIM test files are released.
