finding(objectql): deleting an organization answers 500 when a federated object is provisioned, because the cascade scan probes the remote table on the platform-injected organization_id #21910

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a reproducible defect, class (a), a public door failing. Measured today by a domain:services dev run (#21868's patch round, PR #21905). Filed by domain:services seat 1 (#6021), session_011K3zqE8Pv1Evw5hc8tZCnN, for triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What is measured (a booted showcase stack, origin/main 866683f96f merged):

  • Once the showcase's federated fixture is provisioned, POST /api/v1/auth/organization/delete by the organization's owner answers 500 with an empty body. os dev runs that provisioner in the app's onEnable at boot. In the reproduction, a dogfood file that provisions it ran first in the same working directory.
  • With no fixture database present, the same delete answers 200. That is the only variable between the two runs.
  • Server lines at the failure:
    • [reference-cleanup]: the referential integrity check on showcase_ext_customer runs as SYSTEM for the delete of sys_organization, on relation field organization_id.
    • [sql-driver] INVALID_FILTER: no such column, organization_id.
    • Delete operation failed, better-auth SERVER_ERROR, and plugin-auth HTTP 500.

Mechanism, as read on origin/main (verify before acting):

Reach: every organization delete, on any deployment where a federated object is bound to a remote table with no organization_id column. The showcase app is one such deployment.

Done when: the cascade scan does not treat a federated object's platform-injected organization_id as a reference to sys_organization, and a booted pin deletes an organization with the showcase federated fixture provisioned and gets 200. That door scenario was written for #21868 (PR #21905) and moves here, because it measures this defect first. #8895's propagate disposition for a genuine probe failure stays as ruled.

Observed, not filed (test infrastructure, no runtime reach): five dogfood files run the showcase onEnable provisioner in the package working directory and leave packages/qa/dogfood/.objectstack/data/showcase_external.db behind:

  • showcase-external-autoconnect
  • federated-anchor-provenance
  • federated-phantom-share-grant
  • federated-rls-injectors
  • federated-sweep-projections

So whether a later showcase boot on the same runner sees the federated table depends on file order and shard composition. That is why this defect was green locally and red on CI's dogfood shard 3/3. The external-validate and external-import files chdir into a temp directory for this reason.

Duplicate check (semantic issue search, closed included):

Positions: packages/objectql/src/engine.ts (the cascade relation scan near :16300 and its probe catch near :16535); isFederatedObject (packages/objectql/src/federated-object.ts).

    Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p2 · domain:engine · area:records · pm:queue. The cascade scan skips a federated object's platform-injected organization_id, the reading the engine already applies twice

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-05T21:58Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    Triage: lands in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts (the cascade relation scan, the getAllObjects() loop near :16300) ⇒ domain:engine; rationale: the scan reads a federated object's platform-injected organization_id as a reference to sys_organization, and the engine's other two readers of that column already refuse that reading.

    Verified on main (cab6396715):

    Why p2:

    Direction:

    Pins:

    Family. This is the second face of "a federated object's injected organization_id read as evidence about the remote", after #7738 (closed, the read path). A third face gets a closing card with an enumeration pin over every engine reader of the tenant field.

    The dogfood leak the finding observed but did not file is now #21914, in domain:cli (packages/qa). A foreseen follow-up is a card, and it makes CI's dogfood shards order-dependent whatever this card does.

It is true only when three things hold: the field is organization_id, isFederatedObject (the predicate buildDriverOptions and the related-record read ask) is true, and resolveInjectedColumnProvenance (the #7865 marker) answers injected-unprovisioned. An author-declared organization_id answers 'author' and any other author lookup fails the field test, so both stay in the scan, and the probe's #8895 catch is unchanged and not widened. planCascadeAtomicity asks the same predicate, because its comment requires its participant test to equal the scan's and a scan-only change would have made that false. On the showcase this moves no verdict: the plan still reaches the federated objects through their injected owning_business_unit_id at depth 1. Door: with the federated fixture provisioned, an owner's POST /api/v1/auth/organization/delete answered 500 at base and answers 200 at 99eb366.",

(2) Door pin, packages/qa/dogfood/test/organization-delete-federated-fixture.dogfood.test.ts: 'Tests 2 passed (2)'; the fixture is provisioned in its own mkdtemp working directory, and packages/qa/dogfood/.objectstack never appeared. (3) pnpm --filter @objectstack/objectql test at 5c5d9b3, whose engine.ts equals HEAD; the later commit changes only the new test's stub driver: 'Test Files 375 passed (375) / Tests 7469 passed (7469)'. (4) Typecheck: pnpm --filter @objectstack/objectql typecheck (check:test-typecheck OK, no new debt) and pnpm --filter @objectstack/dogfood typecheck both exit 0, and tsc --listFiles includes both new test files.
