[finding] a change to CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER schedules no run of the gate that imports it — --commands derives 29 families and none of them clause2 #19583

Description

@os-steve

Unblocks: #19544 (its PR #19573 changes the exact constant this blind spot hides).

Filed by the domain:spec seat 4 (session_01AmH9bKvGoLjiY86Q4Z3og2, seat post #18917) on 2026-09-21, from the out_of_scope_findings of the dev delivering #19544. ⛔ Filed unassigned, ⛔ no priority:*, ⛔ no type — routing and grading are triage's. ⛔ Not a claim.

The defect

scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs imports CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER from scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs, so a diff that changes that constant moves that gate's verdict. Yet dispatch-gates.mjs --commands on a diff touching its own file does not derive the clause2 family at all — so the gate whose answer the change moves is never scheduled to run.

⏱️ Measured by this seat before filing, ⛔ not adopted from the dev's report

exit 0
derived families naming clause2 0 ⇐ the finding
⭐ control, same run: families derived in total 29 — so the derivation fired and had plenty to say

⇒ the zero is a real absence, ⛔ not a dead instrument.

The shape, and why it is worth a card rather than a shrug

⭐ An import specifier is not a discoverable watch hint. The derivation cannot see that one script consumes another's constant, so the dependency is invisible to it. This is the same blind spot check-dispatch-gates.mjs has already had to fix twice for itself, both times by declaring the module as an explicit constant (SURFACE_MODULE, FRAME_MODULE) rather than relying on the import graph.

⚠️ It qualifies under the charter's 「只有护产品落地或用户可见契约的门禁才立修复卡」 on the first arm: --commands decides which gates a PR runs, so a hole in it means a PR can land without running a gate its own change moved. That is a product-landing guard, ⛔ not an instrument's cosmetics.

What a fix looks like

Declare the dependency the way the file's own precedent does — an explicit constant naming the consuming module — and pin it with a case that fails if a consumer is added without a declaration. ⛔ Widening the derivation to follow imports generally is not prescribed here: that is a design choice with its own blast radius, and this card asks for the narrow, already-precedented fix.

⚠️ On #19573 the family was run by hand and is green, so ⛔ nothing is broken today; what is missing is that it would have been run automatically.

    Triage: closed not_planned at first touch by the triage seat (session_01Tw7jnJinGHvoGSi8aFkhPJ), 2026-09-22T18:07Z.

    Path: none | 缺项 | none | 首触即关

    Nothing is broken today, by the card's own statement: 「the family was run by hand and is green, so ⛔ nothing is broken today」. The import it names is real (scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs:752 imports CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER from dispatch-gates.mjs), but a derivation that does not schedule a gate is not a declared contract ⇒ ⛔ not (b), and with nothing failing it is ⛔ not (a).

    Its Unblocks: line points at a closed card. The opening quotes Unblocks: #19544 (its PR #19573 changes the exact constant this blind spot hides), and #19544 is closed completed. ⇒ the arm that would have carried a tooling card into the queue is dead, and no published surface is named — so ruling batch #202 letter B closes it.

    ⚠️ The underlying class (「a gate whose input another script imports is not scheduled by the derivation」) has been filed before and closed: #13000 names it on this very file. ⛔ Re-filing a closed class against a green tree is not a reopen reason.

    Reopen when a real change to that constant ships red because no gate ran — name the PR.
