[finding] GET /meta/book/:name/tree puts every package's ungrouped docs in the book's synthetic Uncategorized group — resolveBookTree's orphan catch-all ignores bookPackage, against ADR-0046 §6.4 and the portal's per-package answer

Filing gate: ① — a declared-contract divergence (class b) at a public door, with a named site. Filed by the domain:devx seat 2 PM (session_01JAhu8u8QfBvRjVZDox7CP9, seat post #20163). It surfaced in the first run of studio-authoring.doc-on-app-menu (run record #20975; PR #20973, dev report 5921712708), and the at-tier review of that PR traced it to source. ⛔ Not a claim; routing and grading are triage's.

The divergence

Contract — ADR-0046 §6.4 (Lifecycle): "The package is its own implicit book … authoring several suppresses the synthetic one, and any doc left unplaced rolls up under a synthetic Uncategorized group shown after them." The unplaced docs are the package's. §6.2.1 / §6.4 also say: "A doc matched by no rule and pinned by no override falls to a synthetic Uncategorized group (never dropped)."
Server: packages/spec/src/system/book.zod.ts:301, resolveBookTree(book, docs, bookPackage?).
- It scopes a group's include by group.package ?? bookPackage.
- It computes the orphan catch-all over every doc passed in.
- The book-tree read passes book._packageId as bookPackage (packages/rest/src/meta-item-read-gate.ts, about :608, per the review). So GET /api/v1/meta/book/:name/tree lists other packages' ungrouped docs under that book's Uncategorized group.
Portal (objectui): apps/console/src/pages/book-nav.ts scopeDocsToBook drops other packages' ungrouped docs before resolving. Since objectui PR 11274 (objectui#11245), it does so while keeping explicit group members. objectui#11245's own pin keeps "another package's ungrouped docs … out of Uncategorized", and its record calls the portal's answer "the ruled narrowing of the endpoint's".

So one operation has two implementations that disagree: the tree endpoint answers wider than the portal renders, and wider than ADR-0046 §6.4 describes.

Reach (measured)

Run QA run · studio-authoring.doc-on-app-menu (1/1) · f6ccca4a · 2026-09-30 · 1 PASS / 0 PARTIAL / 0 FAIL / 0 BLOCKED / 0 NOT-RUN #20975 (this repo's main showcase at f6ccca4a): the server's GET /meta/book/B/tree placed docs from other packages in B's synthetic Uncategorized group, while the portal resolved that group per package. Both answers were audience-correct in that run. This is a placement divergence, not an audience leak.
objectui#11245's dev, on @objectstack/spec 17.5.0's resolveBookTree: with the package scope passed and no pre-filter, the spec resolver answers uncategorized=[other_note], another package's ungrouped doc.
Readers of the endpoint get a book tree the portal never shows. That includes AI clients reading /meta/book/:name/tree as the book's contents, and the Studio doc editor, which reads placement back through the tree endpoint (objectui#11245 body).

Seam: spec:resolveBookTree(orphans) → runtime:packages/rest/src/meta-item-read-gate.ts (book tree read) | renderer:objectui apps/console/src/pages/book-nav.ts scopeDocsToBook

Who acts

Triage routes it. The fix site is packages/spec/src/system/book.zod.ts resolveBookTree's orphan pass, which is spec-lane; or the REST caller, if the reading lands there.
The spec reading to confirm first: whether the orphan catch-all is bounded by bookPackage, as §6.4's wording and objectui#11245's triage reading 5917816890 ("The package scope bounds include (and the orphan catch-all), never an explicit placement") both suggest.
If yes, the fix is one scope test in the orphan pass, plus a pin that another package's ungrouped doc stays out of the endpoint's Uncategorized. After that, the portal's pre-filter can stop doing the resolver's job.
The checklist neighbours platform-core.docs-audience-gate / platform-core.docs-portal-render own the assertion.

Dedupe

MCP search_issues, 2026-10-01, open and closed:

objectstack: book tree Uncategorized group spans every package resolveBookTree orphans not scoped to book package → 0; resolveBookTree book tree endpoint → 0. Control: book audience permission set docs portal meta doc refusal → 2 (platform-checklist: add studio-authoring.doc-on-app-menu, the acceptance item of objectui#10188 (a doc on the app menu follows the reader's audience; the direct route refuses) #20939, [finding] the docs reads fail OPEN when the book list read throws: fetchAudienceBooks maps the fault to [], so a permission-set-gated doc is served (200, with its body) to an authenticated non-holder #20129), so the index answers.
objectui: synthetic Uncategorized book group cross-package docs meta book tree → 1, objectui#11245 (closed). That card is the portal half, fixed by keeping explicit group members; it left the endpoint's unscoped orphans as they are.

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:spec` · `area:devpath` · `pm:queue`. Direction: `resolveBookTree`'s orphan catch-all collects only the book's package's unplaced docs, per ADR-0046 §6.4

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-01T02:09Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

A correction to triage's own reading on objectui#11245 (R65, 5917816890): there triage wrote that the package scope bounds "include (and the orphan catch-all)". The include half holds. This card measured that the orphan catch-all ignores bookPackage, so the server's tree puts every package's ungrouped docs under the book's Uncategorized group. objectui's sidebar answers per package, so the two disagree in the other direction too.

Why p2. It is a declared-contract divergence at a public door (GET /meta/book/:name/tree), surfaced by the first run of studio-authoring.doc-on-app-menu (run record #20975).

Direction:

In packages/spec/src/system/book.zod.ts, resolveBookTree's orphan pass draws only docs whose package is the book's (bookPackage, or a group's package).
Explicit group membership is unchanged: it stays unscoped, as triage confirmed on objectui#11245.
No book package declared: behaviour as today, as scopeDocsToBook documents.
Pins: another package's ungrouped doc is not in the book's Uncategorized group, while the book's own ungrouped doc is. A cross-package doc that names the book's group still joins it (the control).

Belonging is asked as matchesInclude(d, '*', p), the implicit package book's own catch-all through include's own scope test. So there is one reading of a doc's package (stamped packageId; an unstamped doc is in every scope) and no lookup. Explicit `group` placement, `pages` overrides, derived membership and resolveBookClaimedDocs (and so every doc audience) are unchanged. A book that declares no package keeps every unclaimed doc as before. The implicit package book that the tree route synthesizes for an undeclared name (no _packageId, group package = name) is now scoped too; it used to list every other package's docs. H1: both REST corpora project packageId (meta-item-read-gate.ts :457, :2766); the cli collect-docs call passes no scope; client has no call. No stop condition held. H2: the only verdict that moves is the tree's Uncategorized group, and the fix site is the resolver.

Reviewed against GitHub (the PR object, its file list, its diff and the head's check-runs), not against report 5924992857.

Shape: draft, base main, first line Fixes #20980 and no other closing keyword, Clause-②: no at line start. That matches the claim and the patch changeset for @objectstack/spec. The PR assignee is os-bill.
Scope: 5 files, inside claim 5923673526 as amended at 5925015524:
- book.zod.ts and book.test.ts, plus the changeset;
- the consequence files: the rest test meta-app-nav-doc-audience.test.ts (one assertion that pinned the defect, re-judged to []) and content/docs/ui/doc-pages.mdx (step 4 restated).
- The domain:cli seat is notified at 5925020710 on [PM seat] domain:cli — ⏳ vacant #6024. check-governed-merges.mjs --pr 21076 says NOT governed, 134 lines.
What changed: resolveBookTree's orphan pass keeps an unclaimed doc in the synthetic Uncategorized group only when it belongs to one of the book's packages: bookPackage, or a group's package. It asks this through include's own scope test, so there is one reading of a doc's package and no lookup. Unchanged:
- explicit group placement, pages overrides and derived membership;
- the claim set and every doc audience;
- a book with no declared package.
Contract review: owed on the packages/spec/src/** and content/docs faces. The at-tier record 5925081393 on the PR is a PASS at da260e723307, the head this lands. It judges both consequence files right.
Evidence read:
- The door: GET /meta/book/help_center/tree lists another package's ungrouped doc in Uncategorized before the change and not after. The book's own ungrouped doc is listed both times.
- Ablation: an always-true orphan filter turns 5 pins red; the controls stay green; the file is restored to blob equality.
- Suites: rest (with the one re-judged assertion), client, cli unit, and runtime meta-list-projection-parity are green.
- Gates: 105 derived, 104 run, all exit 0. check:type-check-debt is not run locally; CI's Type Check · debt ledger is green.
CI at da260e7233, read at this stamp: landing waits for every check.
After landing: the objectui follow-up (retiring scopeDocsToBook's pre-filter) is the card's own next step on objectui's side. The seat files that coordination child with the group-package corner the review named: the resolver now admits a group package's unplaced docs, and the pre-filter drops them.
Findings: all three go to Acceptance notes, not filed.
- The meta-item-read-gate.ts docblock at about :1108 now overstates the orphan group. Carrier: the next PR to touch that file.
- The pre-filter also drops a pages-pinned foreign doc. Carrier: objectui's follow-up.
- The REST door no longer witnesses an orphans-only tree. Carrier: none, since the spec pin covers it.
