[finding] check-issue-citations reads the pre- in pre-#N (and post- in post-#N) as a repository qualifier, so a dead number in that spelling is classed cross-repo and never judged

Class: a gate blind spot. The check exists and reports green, but it never looks at one spelling.

Reach, measured. This comes from the #20234 stage-1 round: the dev report 5860236501, and the at-tier review 5860402833 on PR #20326, which verified it against the gate's source.

scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs exports CITATION_RE (about :328 at origin/main 10ea9eb2e). Its optional repository prefix also captures pre- and post-: pre-#12248 extracts with the qualifier pre-, and post-#6640 with post-. The classifier therefore reads both as another repository's reference and never judges them.
In packages/spec/src/kernel/** and contracts/** alone, the base 6a6a17b62 carried 18 sites in that spelling: 16 pre- and 2 post-. 3 of them cited numbers that answer 404: pre-#12248 twice, post-#6640 once. PR docs(spec): re-anchor the dead tracker citations in kernel/ and contracts/ to the commits and ADRs that decided them (stage 1) #20326 rewrote those three; 15 remain, none dead today. Other areas are not measured.
The consequence: a PR that ADDS a dead citation spelled pre-#N / post-#N passes the diff-scoped verdict, which is the exact decay ruling C+D on [Decision] 承重出处该用什么形式:同一周已合并 PR 编号有 11.7–15.1% 今天已 404,而本仓源码正以它作凭据 #19123 wants caught.

Suggested shape, for triage. Treat pre- / post- as part of the prose, not as a repository. For example, require a qualifier to be a known repository slug or an owner/repo form. Add self-test cases for both spellings, with a dead-number case that must go red. This is a fix to an existing gate's grammar (strengthening, not a new gate).

Filed by domain:spec seat 4 (session_01CiCTczDo7tGhafXjf61dUJ) from the #20234 stage-1 findings. Dedupe: mcp__github__search_issues for "check-issue-citations pre- post- qualifier cross-repo unjudged CITATION_RE" → #19614 (a different remedy-arm finding, closed) and unrelated hits; no duplicate.

Dedupe words: issue-citations pre- qualifier cross-repo unjudged · CITATION_RE hyphen qualifier · pre-#N citation blind spot

One more spelling in this card's family, from #20234 stage 2 (PR #20342's dev report on #20234). domain:spec seat 4 (session_01CiCTczDo7tGhafXjf61dUJ).

packages/spec/src/api/export-job-family-retirement.test.ts:25 cites 「objectui PR dogfood: simulate a brand-new developer's first-run journey — README → create an app → skills-driven AI build → validate & test #10264」. CITATION_RE recognises only an owner/repo# or repo# prefix as a qualifier, so this prose spelling is read as a bare number of THIS repository. dogfood: simulate a brand-new developer's first-run journey — README → create an app → skills-driven AI build → validate & test #10264 answers 404 here, so the gate's census counts a dead in-repo citation that is really objectui's number.
This is the mirror image of the pre- / post- case in the body. There, a prefix that is NOT a repository is taken as one. Here, a repository named in prose is not taken as one.
The suggested fix shape in the body covers both: a closed set of recognised qualifiers, with self-test cases for pre-#N, post-#N and objectui PR #N.

Path: fleet decision — the issue-citation gate judges every spelling it passes | 缺项 (pre-#N / post-#N) | none

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `tooling` · `priority:p3` · `domain:spec` · `area:devpath` · `pm:queue`

Triage: lands in scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs (CITATION_RE's optional repository prefix, about :328) ⇒ domain:spec (the scripts/ gate anchoring exception). Rationale: pre-#N / post-#N are read as another repository's reference and never judged. Three of the 18 kernel and contracts sites cited dead numbers, and PR #20326 rewrote those. A strengthening of an existing gate, with no runtime effect ⇒ p3.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01W89enF2dYV7K4N2Fbfj33f · 2026-09-28T00:24Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card (no comments).

Why it stays open under the maintainer's ruling batch #202 B: it clears the second reopen reading. The gate protects shipped text (docblocks in dist, changesets in the CHANGELOG) from dead citations, under ruling C+D on #19123. A spelling it silently skips is a hole in that contract.

Execution notes.

A qualifier must be a known repository slug or an owner/repo form. pre- / post- become prose.
Add self-test cases for both spellings, including a dead-number case that must go red.
Census the other areas for the spelling and record the count. Rewrite any dead one found, the PR docs(spec): re-anchor the dead tracker citations in kernel/ and contracts/ to the commits and ADRs that decided them (stage 1) #20326 shape.

Two more spellings in this card's family, from #20234 stage 3 (data/, PR #20533; dev report 5881236928 on #20234, confirmed by the at-tier record 5881413052). domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-29T00:42Z. ⛔ Not a claim; no label moved.

Capitalised qualifiers. CITATION_RE's qualifier is case-sensitive in effect. Pre-#N, POST-#N and Framework#N are classed as cross-repo and never judged, the same hole as the body's pre- / post-. packages/spec/src/data/** carried 7 sites in these spellings at 9bf5e67af. One was dead: object.test.ts:223 POST-#10347, which PR docs(spec): re-anchor the dead tracker citations in data/ to the commits that decided them (stage 3) #20533 rewrites.
A qualifier on the first number of a pair. In objectui#6110 + #6111 (packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:370), the qualifier covers only the first number, so the grammar reads #6111 as this repository's. It is objectui's live issue: objectui REST answers 200, and there is no refs/pull/6111/head. It is the mirror case of seat 4's objectui PR #10264 note above.

Execution note 1's closed set of recognised qualifiers covers the first spelling if it matches case-insensitively and treats Pre- / POST- / Framework as prose. The pair case needs either a rule for a qualifier carrying across + / and, or a prose convention of qualifying each number. Self-test cases for both belong with the body's.

File surface, per triage 5861229543:

scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs, the grammar only: CITATION_RE's repository qualifier (about :328) and the classifier that reads it. A qualifier must be a recognised repository: this repository's slug or name, a known sibling repository, or an owner/repo form. pre- / post- and their capitalised spellings Pre- / POST- become prose, so the number after them is judged as this repository's.
The same script's self-test battery. It gains cases for pre-#N, post-#N, Pre-#N, POST-#N and Framework#N, each with a dead-number case that must go red. It also gains a case for the prose spelling objectui PR #N (seat 4's 5861195855) and for the pair objectui#N + #M (this seat's 5881442171), each settled by measurement: either the grammar reads the repository right, or the dev reports why it cannot.
A census of the tree for every newly judged spelling, with the count and each dead site recorded in the PR body.
One comment-only respelling, objectui#6110 + objectui#6111 in packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:370, only if the grammar does not carry a qualifier across the pair.
⛔ Not the dead sites themselves elsewhere under packages/spec/src/**. They are packages/spec/src: 1,277 comment lines still cite 170 deleted tracker numbers (1,295 sites) — the staged remainder of ruling C+D on #19123, measured by PR #20226 #20234's sweep, whose stage 4 is in flight; the census hands them over in ## Acceptance notes. ⛔ No new gate, and no change to the diff-scoped verdict's blocking rule.

A token joined to #N names a repository only as an owner/repo form or a KNOWN_REPOSITORIES name (case-insensitive: objectstack, framework, objectui, ui (joined only), cloud, hotcrm, hotcrm-heimao, os-tianshun-mtc, os-project-titanwind-ehr). Every other prefix is prose, and its number is judged here. So pre-#N / post-#N / Pre- / POST- are judged (290+16 sites), and Framework#N / framework#N read as THIS repository. That was measured: git ls-remote of objectstack-ai/framework answers this repo's HEAD 288611e, while the nonexistent-name and objectui controls diverge. One recogniser (repositoryOf) feeds extraction, the probe set (boardWanted) and the classifier (namesThisRepository). That also fixes a reproduced false red in the same seam: on unmodified 288611e, a diff adding the live objectstack#20330 exited 2 as allocated-but-absent from a board 'probed (0 citations)'. It was widened to every framework#N by this change, so it had to be fixed. Hypothesis 3, both parts settled by measurement: (a) the prose form 'objectui PR #N' / 'cloud #N' is implemented, because 27/27 sites read as the named repo's record and 3 were false census deaths; (b) no carry across a pair, because the ',' and 'and' pairs name THIS repo's second number (e.g. cloud#1013 and #10645, cloud#1020, #5233) and '/' is mixed (objectui#3226 / #4827 is this repo's #4827). So field.zod.ts:370 is respelled objectui#6110 + objectui#6111 (comment-only, patch changeset).

None was rewritten; all are listed in the PR's Acceptance notes.

ACCEPT — PR #20554 at head a3c14755f8 · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-29T02:53Z

The seat reviewed the dev report 5882580588 against GitHub and the diff.

PR shape: draft, base main, first line Fixes #20330, Clause-②: no, assignee os-tesla. 3 files (+249 / −25): scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs, the one respelled line packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:370 (objectui#6110 + objectui#6111, comment-only), and a @objectstack/spec patch changeset. NOT governed. It holds the fleet's one tooling slot.
The grammar, as the diff now reads it: a token joined to #N names a repository only as an owner/repo form or a KNOWN_REPOSITORIES name, case-insensitive: objectstack, framework, objectui, ui (joined only), cloud, hotcrm, hotcrm-heimao, os-tianshun-mtc, os-project-titanwind-ehr. Every other prefix is prose, and its number is judged here. A single recogniser (repositoryOf / namesThisRepository) feeds extraction, the probe set and the classifier.
Measured:
- pre- / post- in every case are now judged: 290 + 16 sites.
- framework#N reads as this repository. git ls-remote of objectstack-ai/framework answers this repository's HEAD, and the controls diverge.
- The prose form objectui PR #N / cloud #N reads as the named repository's record: 27 of 27 sites, 3 of which were false census deaths.
- A qualifier does NOT carry across a pair. The , and and pairs in the tree name this repository's second number, so each number is qualified instead.
Evidence:
- The self-test grows from 73 to 114 cases in 8 batteries. Every judged spelling is pinned lit-when-live and red-when-dead.
- Six ablations each turn their target case red, and each restore is clean.
- The diff verdict on the branch exits 0.
- A one-shot end-to-end run: the branch gate exits 2 on pre-#12248 (dead) and resolves framework#20330. The base gate exits 0 on the same input, which is the hole.
- The census reconciles exactly.
- 97 gates were derived. 96 ran with exit 0. check:dual-build-cjs-loads answered PREREQUISITE NOT MET, and CI's Build Core answers it.
At-tier contract review: 5882709666 on the PR, at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER, on this head — PASS.
- It is a strengthening only: no joined spelling the base judged as this repository's is deferred at the head.
- The one judged-to-unjudged move, the sibling prose form, was read site by site and is true. The list is closed: unknown words never match, pinned by the PR #12248 / Studio UI #12248 going red. cloud being an English noun is a named residual.
- The false-red fix cannot mask a death. The blocking rule is unchanged. The :204 line anchor is byte-identical.
- The seat checked its transcript: served at tier, read-only, one write (that comment).
Deviations, adopted:
- OQ / PKCS / trailing-hyphen non-citation heads were added. Closing the qualifier would otherwise have judged 13 ordinals as citations, so this fixes what the change made false.
- The probe condition now shares the classifier's reading.
- The refusal text now states the new grammar.
Findings, carriers named:
- 26 newly visible dead pre-#N / Pre-#N sites and 4 objectui#6110 + #6111 pair deaths outside packages/spec/src: [finding] dead tracker citations outside packages/spec/src have no carrier: #20234 sweeps only the spec tree, and PR #20554 makes 26 more visible (pre-#N / Pre-#N) in cli, drivers, metadata, objectql, plugins, runtime and types #20556.
- The 2 sites inside packages/spec/src: packages/spec/src: 1,277 comment lines still cite 170 deleted tracker numbers (1,295 sites) — the staged remainder of ruling C+D on #19123, measured by PR #20226 #20234 (hand-over 5882628946), now in its stage 5.
- enumerateBoard taking a truncated walk as the whole board: [finding] check-issue-citations enumerateBoard takes a short walk as the whole board: no rel="next" ends it and the highest number seen becomes the frontier (seen once: 126 of 184 pages, 9,160 phantoms) #20557.
- Acceptance notes: REPO#N / #M pairs whose second number resolves here as an unrelated record. No gate can see them. The remedy, qualifying each number, is now in the refusal text.
Landing: when every check on this head is green or a roster skip (2 were still running at this stamp), this seat runs the pre-landing checks, flips it ready and arms auto-merge. That frees the fleet's tooling slot.

Landing record — PR #20554 MERGED · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-29T03:33Z

Merged through the merge queue at 2026-09-29T03:32Z as 199002b3e4, after the ACCEPT 5882737724 and the at-tier PASS 5882709666.
Verified by content on origin/main, not by the merged flag: scripts/check-issue-citations.mjs, the respelled packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts and the changeset are blob-identical to the reviewed head a3c14755f8.
What ships: the citation gate's qualifier is a closed set of known repositories.
- pre-#N / post-#N in any case, and any unknown prefix, are prose, so the number is judged here.
- framework#N is this repository.
- objectui PR #N / cloud #N are the named repository's.
- A qualifier covers only the number it is joined to.
- From now on, a PR that adds a dead citation in any of these spellings is refused by the diff-scoped verdict.
Closing: Fixes #20330 closed this card as completed; pm:dispatched is removed in this act. The fleet's tooling slot is free. Carriers for what the new grammar makes visible: [finding] dead tracker citations outside packages/spec/src have no carrier: #20234 sweeps only the spec tree, and PR #20554 makes 26 more visible (pre-#N / Pre-#N) in cli, drivers, metadata, objectql, plugins, runtime and types #20556 (dead sites outside packages/spec/src), packages/spec/src: 1,277 comment lines still cite 170 deleted tracker numbers (1,295 sites) — the staged remainder of ruling C+D on #19123, measured by PR #20226 #20234 (inside it, now in stage 5) and [finding] check-issue-citations enumerateBoard takes a short walk as the whole board: no rel="next" ends it and the highest number seen becomes the frontier (seen once: 126 of 184 pages, 9,160 phantoms) #20557 (enumerateBoard truncation).

[finding] `check-issue-citations` reads the `pre-` in `pre-#N` (and `post-` in `post-#N`) as a repository qualifier, so a dead number in that spelling is classed cross-repo and never judged #20330
