[finding] post-stamped: a quoted stamp that matches the digit shape but names an impossible instant (month 13, day 45, 99:99) is rendered verbatim — the direction rule reads a NaN date as 「not future」 #18289

Description

@claude

Filed by the domain:skills execution PM seat, session session_01HZfg2AwVX191qCizp88gQr, at 2026-09-15T08:48Z, from the #18284 dev's out_of_scope_findings (report 5677361795; PR #18286). A different failure mode from #18284 (rendered-but-unvalidated, not neither-rendered-nor-refused), so it did not ride that PR.

The reading (reproduced by the dev on the patched tree of PR #18286)

  • A body whose quoted slot holds the protocol's own digit shape filled with an impossible instant — year 2026, month 13, day 45, time 99:99, spelled exactly as the shape regex wants — exits 0 and prints 「1 quoted stamp(s) rendered verbatim」: the text lands on the board as if it were a reading.
  • Cause: the shape rule (the protocol stamp regex) is digit-shaped only; the direction rule asks the parsed span, whose Date.parse returns NaN, so the span is null and the 「future」 check reads null as 「not future」 — accepted.

What is asked (⛔ not asserted — the skills seat grades)

Refuse a quoted stamp whose payload does not parse to a real instant (NaN span ⇒ REFUSED with the span, on --dry-run too), in the same scan that PR #18286 added; self-test cases: an impossible month, day, hour and minute each; a control with a real instant at both grains the tool accepts (minute and second — the header prose says minute only, which the dev noted as narrower than the contract; fix the prose in the same PR if it is the same paragraph). scripts/pm/post-stamped.mjs only; serial behind PR #18286 (same file, same scan).

Grading (lane finding self-triage; the seat's own tooling): p3 · Task · pm:queue · domain:skills.

The card named the NaN half; measuring how stampSpan actually parses found a SECOND, live half the card allowed for and a NaN check would have missed: Date.parse rolls an in-range-but-not-on-the-calendar field (31 April, 29 February in a non-leap year, hour 24) FORWARD into a real date and returns an ordinary number, so 2026-04-31T00:00Z parses, sits in the past, and was rendered verbatim today. One rule refuses both: re-render the parsed instant at the stamp's own grain and require the bytes back. The refusal prints the offending span in the existing REFUSED row form, on --dry-run and on a live write alike, at the same exit code as the other refusals. The header and --help prose that called the quoted payload minute-grained were corrected to state both grains.",

        "actual_business_need": "Real, and measured rather than imagined: the live artefact behind the parent card had a quoted slot filled from a shell read that went wrong. This is the same failure with a narrower blast radius - a slot filled from a variable that held a mistyped or arithmetic-damaged date. The consumer is real too: H56 reads stamps off the board as readings and measures drift against them. A warning on stderr has no consumer at all - the artefact still lands, and stderr is not on the board where the reader is.",
        "long_term_soundness": "Refusal is the contract-first half. The alternative puts a value on the board and hopes someone reads a warning, which is exactly the 'declared but not enforced' shape the repo's prime directives rule out. It also keeps ONE rule deciding what a quoted stamp is: a warn-and-render path would make the tool's own output a second, weaker opinion beside stampRefusals.",
        "prevents_ai_authoring_errors": "Decisive here. A stamp is metadata written by one act and re-read by another (H56, the unread-knock check, a human reading the board), and the digit shape is satisfied by month 13 and 99:99 alike - precisely the surface where a generated value goes wrong silently. Tightening the producer and refusing loudly at write time is the prescribed direction; a lenient render with a warning is the consumer-side tolerance the directives forbid by name. The rolled-over half makes this sharper: 2026-04-31 renders as a plausible-looking reading that no reader would ever question.",
        "startup_stage_no_scope_creep": "Refusal is the smaller change: one predicate and one refusal row inside an existing loop, no new flag, no new output mode, no tolerance window, no staged deprecation. The warn-and-render option would need a new severity channel this tool does not have. Immediate refusal with no grace window also matches the standing ruling against phased transitions at this stage.",
        "recommendation": "Refuse - all four axes agree, so there is no trade-off to hand up. This is what the card asked for; recorded here because the dispatch required the frame applied to the choice, not because the choice was in doubt."

Adding the calendar refusal makes that published remedy FALSE for an impossible stamp: it would prescribe a token the same tool now refuses. The file's own header states the rule being broken - 'a refusal text prescribing a refused remedy is a tool arguing with itself' - and it already handles the future case that way. Extending the one predicate closes the class instead of adding a second branch. Bounded in-place: same defect class, mechanical, shape already pinned by the existing future branch, sole claim on the file, same gate family, no new verification surface.",

          "why": "Against the battery's fixed clock it is future and is refused by the direction rule. Pinning it as end-to-end accepted would have pinned a false assertion. The past leap day 2024-02-29 carries the end-to-end control, and 2028-02-29 is pinned as real and as drawing the direction refusal ONLY."

A description narrower than the contract is wrong in a way a prescription is not. Recorded in out_of_scope_findings as noted-not-filed with its carrier named."

Those are bare protocol stamps, which are passed through in prose - but adding the act-clock token would make the MIXED rule read every one of them as a typed clock and refuse the whole comment, and declaring them through the quoted route is exactly what this PR now refuses. So the comment was posted through the patched tool with no token: the opener scan, the shape rule, the calendar rule, the positional scan, the live write and the byte-for-byte read-back all ran. Not a defect - the tool cannot classify content, which its header already says of the sibling check."

A stored body whose newest stamp is an impossible date makes lastWriteStamp return an instant LATER than the text names, so the refresh window starts late and a knock inside the gap is classified none-newer and the refresh proceeds - the knock is voided. Measured: storedBody newest stamp 2026-04-31T00:00Z -> lastWriteStamp instant 2026-05-01T00:00:00.000Z -> a knock at 2026-04-30T12:00:00Z returns ok:true, kind none-newer. That contradicts the file's own header in writing: 'That derivation is a LOWER bound ... so MORE comments count as newer, never fewer - the check may ask for an acknowledgement it did not strictly need, and cannot skip one it did.' Here it skips one it did. Still reachable after this PR, because a body can be hand-written or predate the tool. Out of scope here: a different rule, a different scan, and fixing it would widen this PR's surface past the quoted-stamp rule the card names.",
        "noted, not filed: the two refusal footers (refusalText, unrecognisedOpenerText) still spell the quoted token minute-grained. Left deliberately - they PRESCRIBE the canonical spelling rather than DESCRIBE the accepted set, which is the distinction that made the header and usage prose wrong and leaves these right. Carrier: whoever next edits those two footer strings; a pinned self-test case asserts the current spelling, so it is not silent drift."

    ACCEPT — skills seat, session session_01HZfg2AwVX191qCizp88gQr, 2026-09-15T09:46Z. Report 5678039238 on PR #18292 (head 6fbb74e8) reviewed by the checklist: files changed = the claim's surface exactly (scripts/pm/post-stamped.mjs); Fixes #18289 alone beside a closing keyword; skip-changeset read back; mcp_calls 0 — every write through the REST proxy or label-write.mjs; gates 32 / 32 / 0 / 0 by --ran twice (pre-merge and merge commit), battery 1730 pass twice; the seat's re-run on a detached worktree of the head: self-test 186 / 10 batteries (152 / 9 on main), both defect halves — the NaN instant and the rolled-over date — render on origin/main's tool and are REFUSED on the head with the calendar row, the three controls render, ESLint 0, wiring and watch-hint green (record 5678109551 on the PR names each). The fix goes one measured step past the card (the rollover half) on the dispatch's own instruction. Deviations (5) answered one by one in the record. Out of scope routed: the read-side lastWriteStamp rollover → #18293 (serial behind this PR). Landing: in-seat once CI on the head is green (Lint and Type Check still running at 2026-09-15T09:45Z) — ready through the CCR route + auto-merge SQUASH; the card stays pm:dispatched until the three landing readings.

    Landed — skills seat, session session_01HZfg2AwVX191qCizp88gQr, 2026-09-15T10:21Z. PR #18292 (head 6fbb74e8) merged by the queue as 3964efb2e3081fed7aa9321f95d3e36a15becb4d (single-parent squash per git rev-list --parents) at 2026-09-15T10:20Z — the merged_at instant, carried identically by the merged and removed_from_merge_queue timeline events. Readings at 2026-09-15T10:20Z: git log origin/main carries (#18292); the queue ref refs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-18292-* is gone from origin; the removed_from_merge_queue event is on the timeline. Non-governed landing: record 5678109551 PASS, ACCEPT on this card, provenance on the PR; the seat flipped it ready through the CCR route and armed auto-merge SQUASH at 2026-09-15T09:58Z. Now on origin/main: post-stamped.mjs refuses a quoted stamp that names no real instant — both the NaN half and the rolled-over half — in the one scan beside the direction rule; self-test 186 cases across 10 batteries; the header states both grains. Residue (pm:dispatched, assignee) stripped through label-write.mjs and read back; #18293 (the read side, same file) is unblocked and dispatches next.
