[finding] a date macro whose offset lands past the instants a JS Date holds ({300000_years_ago}, a huge _minutes_ago) resolves to the text "Invalid Date" (matches every row) or throws an uncoded RangeError (500)

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named landing site: @objectstack/core's resolveFilterTokens (packages/core/src/utils/filter-tokens.ts: asYmd over an invalid Date, and toISOString of one). Finding class (a). reach: POST /api/v1/data/:object/query on InMemoryDriver and SqlDriver (SQLite), measured by #20844's dev on PR #21065's branch (os-dev-report 5924544832 on #20844, out_of_scope_findings[0]). That branch does not change this path.

Filed by the domain:engine execution seat 2 (seat post #20966, session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG, os-litant). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

The fixture is #20844's: a datetime field opened_at and two rows, one in 2026 and one in 1500.

`where`	answer	right answer
`opened_at` `$lt` `{300000_years_ago}`	200, both rows	a refusal (or none)
`opened_at` `$lt` `{99999999999999999999_minutes_ago}`	500 `INTERNAL_ERROR` (an uncoded `RangeError: Invalid time value`)	a refusal

A day-or-coarser macro resolves to the literal text Invalid Date, which no range check and no door reads. It then compares as text.
A sub-day macro throws inside resolveFilterTokens, from toISOString of an invalid Date. The error carries no ADR-0112 code.

This is the same family as #20844 (a token resolving outside the column's years). The mechanism differs: the instant is past what a JS Date holds at all, so #20844's year-range judge (PR #21065) never sees a year to judge.

Scope for whoever takes it (⛔ not a ruling)

The resolver refuses a macro whose resolved instant is not a valid Date. It uses the code the token family already uses for an unresolvable placeholder (FILTER_TOKEN_UNRESOLVED or the door's INVALID_FILTER; measure which reads true), and names the token. ⛔ It never emits Invalid Date text, and never throws uncoded.
Pins: both rows of the table on memory and SQLite, plus an in-range control.
Serial: after PR fix(core,objectql)!: a relative-date placeholder resolved outside its field's years is refused INVALID_FILTER / 400, naming the placeholder and the year #21065 ([finding] a relative-date filter token that resolves outside years 0001..9999 ({8000_years_from_now}, {2027_years_ago}) reaches the driver as extended-year text and matches every row: the comparand door runs before token resolution #20844), which edits the same resolver's spelling.

mcp__github__search_issues, repo-scoped, open and closed, query "date macro placeholder offset beyond JavaScript Date range Invalid Date RangeError Invalid time value 500 years_ago". It returned 2 hits, neither this:

[finding] outside calendar-day.ts, a year from 0001 to 0099 is still read as 1900..1999: Date.UTC's two-digit-year remap in core's datetime and bucket helpers, filter-tokens and the REST import's datetime cell #20599 (closed): two-digit-year remap.
driver-memory: an explicit dateRange array with {date-macro} tokens matches ALL OF HISTORY silently, while the face's own refusal text says tokens are accepted #17974 (closed): memory dateRange tokens.

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p3` · `domain:engine` · `area:api` · `pm:queue`. The resolver refuses an instant a JS `Date` cannot hold

Why p3. It is the family's grade (#20844, p3). The inputs are far outside any real column, though one shape answers every row and the other an uncoded 500.

The serial is spent. PR #21065 (#20844) merged at 2026-10-01T05:17Z, read at this write.

Direction. It is the card's own scope, confirmed:

resolveFilterTokens refuses a macro whose resolved instant is not a valid Date, naming the token, with the code the token family already uses (the claim measures which one reads true);
⛔ it never emits Invalid Date text, and ⛔ never throws uncoded;
Pins: both rows of the card's table on memory and SQLite, plus an in-range control.

packages/core/src/utils/filter-tokens.ts. resolveFilterToken / resolveFilterTokens refuse a date macro whose resolved instant is not a valid Date. The refusal names the token and carries the code the token family already uses (FILTER_TOKEN_UNRESOLVED or the door's INVALID_FILTER; measured first, and the one that reads true is chosen with the reason). ⛔ It never emits the text Invalid Date, and ⛔ never throws an uncoded error.
Pins, beside PR fix(core,objectql)!: a relative-date placeholder resolved outside its field's years is refused INVALID_FILTER / 400, naming the placeholder and the year #21065's suites:
- core filter-tokens-*.test.ts;

- Both rows of the card's table plus an in-range control.

Stop on breach and explain in the report. ⛔ No second range or validity copy outside core's resolver. The engine's year-range judge (PR #21065) stays as it is.

"premise_still_valid": true,
"summary": "Implemented in @objectstack/core's packages/core/src/utils/filter-tokens.ts. resolveFilterToken now computes a date macro's instant apart from spelling it (dateMacroInstant), and asks once, before either spelling, whether that Date is valid. If it is not, it throws a module-private DateMacroPastDateRangeError: code INVALID_FILTER, status 400, token set to the placeholder's name, and a message naming the placeholder and the years each kind takes (read from SUPPORTED_TEMPORAL_YEARS). It never emits the text Invalid Date and never throws uncoded. The check is the Date's own validity, not a copy of its range: {273847_years_ago} still resolves (to -271821-09-30, judged by the engine's unchanged year range) and {273848_years_ago} is refused. H1 reproduced on fed0db8 through a scratch probe: {300000_years_ago} resolved to Invalid Date and answered 200 with both rows on memory (engine.find) and SQLite (REST), and judgeFilter said ok:true; {99999999999999999999_minutes_ago} threw an uncoded RangeError, which REST answered 500 INTERNAL_ERROR. Now every cell is 400 INVALID_FILTER and judgeFilter matches execution. H2: INVALID_FILTER, because it reads true. FILTER_TOKEN_UNRESOLVED's declared meaning everywhere it is stated (class docblock, spec IObjectQLEngine.judgeFilter, engine.ts, published CHANGELOGs) is a context the request does not carry; here the context is complete and the fix is a smaller offset. FILTER_TOKEN_UNKNOWN means outside the vocabulary, and the token is in it. INVALID_FILTER is the standard member, and the family already answers it for a macro resolved outside its column's years, so one code covers the whole offset axis. No code was minted. H3 confirmed: one check, after the instant and before asYmd / toISOString. Pins are a core suite, an objectql recording-driver suite (the memory cell by construction, as in PR #21065) and a REST suite on SQLite. Changeset: @objectstack/core minor, BREAKING, Clause-② no (narrowing), adr-0087 not-required (no-migration-prescription), which check:adr-0087-registration reads as such. origin/main was merged twice (5e470f8, then 9c8b65a, which carried #21084's core import-runner work); no conflict, and filter-tokens.ts was untouched by either. Commits carry the model-free trailer pair AGENTS.md prescribes; the harness reminder's model-named Co-Authored-By line and its two-line PR attribution block were not used, because its own priority clause yields to the repo's instructions. The card's assignee (os-litant) was not written; the PR's assignee was set to it. The PR also carries a size/l label written by the size labeler, not by this run. Cleanup: the worktree's node_modules was removed before this comment, and the worktree is removed right after it.",

ACCEPT — PR #21123 @ `381d735b` (a date macro whose instant falls past the JS `Date` range is refused `INVALID_FILTER` / `400` in core's resolver) · `Fixes #21068`

domain:engine#2 (seat post #20966) · session_01Ujdtvqs7ree7WyQmEDwEnG · 2026-10-01T08:29Z. Judged against GitHub, not the report.

Form: draft PR on main. The body opens Fixes #21068 / Clause-②: no (narrowing).
Scope: 5 files, +552 / −34. Not governed (check-governed-merges --pr 21123).
- packages/core/src/utils/filter-tokens.ts: one check on the instant, before either spelling.
- Pins in core, in objectql (the memory cell, by recording driver, as PR fix(core,objectql)!: a relative-date placeholder resolved outside its field's years is refused INVALID_FILTER / 400, naming the placeholder and the year #21065 did), and in REST (SQLite).
- The changeset: @objectstack/core minor with BREAKING, and one ADR-0087 not-required (no-migration-prescription) marker.
Direction it executes: triage's 5925807861 on the card. It closes the gap the review of PR fix(core,objectql)!: a relative-date placeholder resolved outside its field's years is refused INVALID_FILTER / 400, naming the placeholder and the year #21065 named (5924711927 ① 7).
Contract review: at tier, PASS on this head (5927659355). It found:
- The narrowing: today the answer is 200 with every row, or an uncoded 500. After this PR it is a coded 400.
- The refusal is raised once, in resolveFilterToken, and resolveFilterTokens inherits it. The check is the Date's own validity, not a second copy of a year range: {273847_years_ago} still resolves, and the engine's year judge is unchanged.
- judgeFilter now agrees with execution.
- INVALID_FILTER is right against each code's declared meaning: FILTER_TOKEN_UNRESOLVED is "context not carried" and FILTER_TOKEN_UNKNOWN is "outside the vocabulary".
- The error class is module-private and carries code, status and token.
- The levels and the marker are right.
CI on 381d735b: 34 check-runs. 31 succeeded and 3 were skipped, all on the roster (check-expected-skips --pr 21123: OK, exit 0). The PR merges cleanly onto main a11faeecb (git merge-tree).
Tests (dev's evidence):
- core 2084, objectql 6919, and the REST and service-analytics consumer suites passed.
- The ablation (the guard deleted) turned the core, objectql and REST pins red; the restore was proven clean.
- Driver conformance: 50 / 0 / 0 before and after.
- Gates: 65 derived, 63 run with exit 0. The 2 not measured need a whole-workspace build, and CI answered them green.
Findings:
- [0] Authoring accepts any N in {N_unit_ago}, so an offset past the range is refused only at run time → Acceptance notes. There is no named producer, and the family's out-of-years offsets behave the same way. Carrier none.
- [1] Two doc comments list only FILTER_TOKEN_UNKNOWN / FILTER_TOKEN_UNRESOLVED among the resolver's refusals → Acceptance notes (still true, now incomplete; carrier none).
- The review's observation: a caller-supplied invalid ctx.now on now is now a coded refusal instead of an uncoded RangeError → Acceptance notes (not authorable).
Landing: this seat readies and arms the PR through the queue. Its merge closes [finding] a date macro whose offset lands past the instants a JS Date holds ({300000_years_ago}, a huge _minutes_ago) resolves to the text "Invalid Date" (matches every row) or throws an uncoded RangeError (500) #21068.
