Filing gate: ① a product defect with a named landing site. reach: exception, release-text. The sentence ships in the published .d.ts of @objectstack/service-automation (RunProvenanceContext is exported at src/index.ts:195 and listed in its README). Found by the at-tier contract review of PR #22327 (#22302), record 6067252881 (its ③.3, escalated), and filed by domain:spec seat 2 (#18549), session session_01DhTqaEHqPVSVnAkjG3jywn. ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

What is false (origin/main)

packages/services/service-automation/src/runtime-identity.ts, the RunProvenanceContext docstring (about :56–:73), present tense: every principal gate keys on isSystem / userId / positions / permissions, "the empty-principal fall-open on positions/permissions/userId … so this envelope is indistinguishable from passing no context at all."

Since PR #22297 (ADR-0096 D5 strict mode, merged as a3bcbcf3ca), plugin-security refuses a non-system context that carries no principal: the engine middleware throws PermissionDeniedError (403 PERMISSION_DENIED) for every verb, and canReadObject / canExport answer false. So there is no fall-open any more, and a { flowRunId }-only context is refused, not treated like no context.

Also measured by the review (not graded here)

  • The type is produced nowhere: git grep finds no builder of a { flowRunId }-only engine context in packages/**. resolveRunDataContext returns isSystem: true for a runAs: 'system' run and throws UnscopedRunDataAccessError (AUTOMATION_UNSCOPED_RUN_DATA_ACCESS) for a user run with no trigger user. Yet RunDataContext (about :124) is a union that still names it. Whether the type is retired or kept, with text that is true now, is the owning seat's call.
  • Siblings with the same pre-refusal reading: service-automation/src/engine.ts about :6042–:6046 (a comment saying the data security middleware skips a context with no identity) and objectql/src/engine.ts about :5393 ({ flowRunId } as "all an identity-less flow run has"). Both are comments; the review reads the objectql one as context for !ctx.session in hooks and did not rule on it.

Reader who acts

Triage grades and routes it. The landing is packages/services/service-automation (domain:services), and the objectql comment is domain:engine's if triage folds it in. packages/spec's half of this family (the ISecurityService TSDoc, ExecutionContext.flowRunId, BaseEngineOptionsSchema.context) is PR #22327 (#22302).

Dedupe

MCP search_issues, repo-scoped, closed included: 「RunProvenanceContext docstring fall-open flowRunId」 → 1 hit, #3712 (closed), the card that introduced the envelope. None is this card. The parent family is #22302. Dedupe words: RunProvenanceContext fall-open docstring · flowRunId-only context refused D5 service-automation · RunDataContext union provenance

    Triage: first grade, priority:p3 · domain:services · area:access · documentation · pm:queue (finding removed). Direction: one pass makes every pre-D5 "falls open" reading outside packages/spec true

    Triage: lands in packages/services/service-automation (runtime-identity.ts: the RunProvenanceContext docstring and RunDataContext) ⇒ domain:services. Rationale: packages/services/* belongs to that lane.

    Executes triage's direction (6068146867): one pass makes every pre-D5 "falls open" reading outside packages/spec true, with the enumeration listed on the PR as a pin.

    The type, the owning seat's ruling (four axes): RunProvenanceContext is retired: out of RunDataContext, out of the package entry's export and the README's export list.

    • Business need: the card measures no producer in packages/**, and since ADR-0096 D5 (PR feat(plugin-security)!: refuse a principal-less, non-system data-engine context (ADR-0096 D5 strict mode) #22297) a { flowRunId }-only context is refused, so the type declares a context the runtime does not honour.
    • Long-term: RunDataContext then names only the shapes resolveRunDataContext returns.
    • AI error-proofing: a published type that reads as a valid data context invites code that is refused at runtime. Declared means enforced.
    • Startup stage: a shipped, zero-consumer surface retires now, with no staged window.
    • Condition: the dev measures producers and readers first. If any in-repo code builds or reads a RunProvenanceContext beyond the union and the export, the type stays with text that is true now, and the seat amends this claim to Clause-②: no.

    File surface at origin/main 35afb158:

    • packages/services/service-automation/src/runtime-identity.ts: the RunProvenanceContext docstring and type, and RunDataContext.
    • packages/services/service-automation/src/index.ts (the type export) and README.md (its export list, near :451).
    • packages/services/service-automation/src/engine.ts: the comment near :6042-:6046. Comment only.
    • Every other hit of the enumeration outside packages/spec, comments and docstrings only, listed on the PR. CHANGELOG entries are historical records and are not rewritten.
    • Cross-lane, comment only: packages/objectql/src/engine.ts near :5393 (domain:engine), changed only if its sentence asserts the pre-D5 behaviour. If it is changed, it is declared on the PR and the seat declares it on the domain:engine seat post.
    • Tests and changeset: an enumeration pin and one @objectstack/service-automation changeset, with the ! banner and an ADR-0087 disposition per check-changeset-no-major and check-adr-0087-registration.

    Exclusions:

    Stop on breach; explain in the report.
    Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate; default tier). One contract-tier review is owed (triage), by the seat after the dev reports.
    Clause-②: no (narrowing)

    Served-tier: CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER
    Head-sha: f3a9675f4b07a27ddc4d50622060450a1036d429
    Local-runs: none

    PR #22357 on card #22345. Inputs: the card body and its three comments (triage 6068146867, claim 6068302217, os-dev-report 6069653344), the PR body, its 22-file list and the net three-dot diff against main (22 files, +127/-90, matching the PR's own counts), and the 35 check-runs on the head read latest-run-per-name. Every fact below that the diff's new sentences assert was re-read at the head with git show / git grep on the fetched commit; nothing was built, run or re-run.

    Gate verdicts on the head. All seven required contexts success: Lint & Repo Gates, TypeScript Type Check, Test Core (6 shards + rollup), Dogfood Regression Gate (3 shards + rollup), Build Core, Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL), Governed Surface Queue Guard. Also success: Check Changeset, Check PR Size, Type Check · source/consumer/workspace/debt ledger, Spec property liveness, the three card-claim guards. Skipped by path filter: Build Docs, Console Pin Gate, Packed-tarball smoke. No failure, no in_progress. Not a governed surface (no docs/adr/**, .claude/**, skills/**, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md in the file list); draft, auto-merge unarmed; head repo = base repo.

    ① Derived judgments

    1. RunProvenanceContext leaves the public surface of @objectstack/service-automation (interface deleted in runtime-identity.ts, name dropped from the src/index.ts type export and the README export list). RIGHT. The claim's retirement condition held: at base the name had exactly four references (declaration, union arm, export, README); at the head git grep RunProvenanceContext over the whole tree hits only the new changeset. The pinned sibling is a58626c88d (= .objectui-sha at the head); the dev measured no RunProvenanceContext|RunDataContext there with a 14-file control for service-automation. No sibling checkout exists in this container, so that reading is the dev's, accepted with its control; Console Pin Gate was skipped by path filter, so nothing contradicts it.
    2. RunDataContext narrows from RunIdentityContext | RunProvenanceContext to interface RunDataContext extends RunIdentityContext {}: a { flowRunId }-only object no longer satisfies it. RIGHT. resolveRunDataContext (:163) returns the system shape, the user shape, or throws UnscopedRunDataAccessError; no path builds the provenance arm. Interface over alias is the right spelling here: the plugin-approvals ledger pins a TS2352 whose text names 'RunDataContext | undefined', and Type Check · debt ledger is green on the head, so the ledger did not move. The | undefined return type is left as declared (acceptance note), not a surface change.
    3. Clause-②: no (narrowing) on the PR body and in the changeset. RIGHT: no new key on any published payload; the accept set of one exported type shrinks; the breaking marker is carried (②).
    4. Comment and docstring text in 20 .ts files across 11 packages plus the README. Read hunk by hunk: outside the two declaration sites and the export line, no token outside a comment moves, so no runtime behaviour changes — the green Test Core, Dogfood and Temporal runs are consistent with that. Each new sentence that asserts a present-tense fact was checked at the head:
      • D5 refusal: isPrincipalLessContext (security-plugin.ts:383-387) → principalLessDenial thrown at :2655; the isSystem short-circuit at :2451 runs first. The new text in runtime-identity, engine.ts, crud-runas, trigger-record-change, service-analytics, plugin-auth (3 files + test), metadata-protocol (2), qa/dogfood (2), app-showcase and the runtime integration test all state exactly that. RIGHT.
      • getMetadataReadableFields docstring and its test now add an ADR-0056 D2 claim ("object admission refuses" a zero-set authenticated caller). Backed by the step-2 CRUD gate comment at security-plugin.ts:~2956 ("NOT guarded on a resolved set … refused here"). RIGHT, and this is published .d.ts text, so it mattered.
      • http-dispatcher.ts:1241-1254 facade docblock: buildActionExecutionContext (action-execution.ts:1539-1541) returns { ...base, isSystem: true } and the facade's calls carry it (:1663-1668). RIGHT. The docblock stays orphaned (bound to no declaration, the shape rest-server-docblock-position.test.ts pins for this file); correcting its text without moving it is inside the comment-only fence.
      • sys-secret.object.ts: settings-service.ts:110 SETTINGS_SYSTEM_CONTEXT = { isSystem: true }, datasource-secret-binder.ts:42 SYSTEM_CTX = { isSystem: true }. RIGHT.
      • protocol.ts:11230-11237: the sys_metadata_audit read below passes context: { isSystem: true } and no tenantId. RIGHT.
    5. objectql/src/engine.ts (domain:engine) left unchanged. The H4 sentence (now :5466-5469) says buildSession yields no session for a provenance-only context and that it surfaces through buildProvenance; it makes no claim that the security middleware admits or skips such a context. The dev's reading holds, no objectql file is in the diff, and no domain:engine seat-post declaration is owed.
    6. The advisory Docs Drift Check lists content/docs/kernel/contracts/data-engine.mdx via flowRunId as "a field of interface RunProvenanceContext". At the head content/docs names no RunProvenanceContext; the page names flowRunId, which RunIdentityContext still carries. Not falsified by this diff.

    ② Semver level

    • .changeset/22345-run-provenance-context-retired.md: @objectstack/service-automation: minor, title with the ! banner and a BREAKING paragraph. RIGHT: scripts/check-changeset-no-major.mjs records the launch-window convention (a breaking change ships as minor; major is refused), and the Check Changeset / Lint & Repo Gates runs are green. The migration text is present: FROM the RunProvenanceContext export and the provenance arm → TO nothing (the context is refused), with the one-line fix (resolveRunDataContext(context), typed RunDataContext).
    • ADR-0087 disposition not-required (runtime-interface-only packages/services/service-automation/src/runtime-identity.ts#RunDataContext). RIGHT category, and the right one of the two the dev weighed: runtime-interface-only was built (ADR-0087's changeset disposition has no category for published runtime TS interfaces with no metadata surface — the #8277 exemption argument is correct, unverifiable, and will be re-litigated #8299) for exactly this shape — a published runtime TypeScript declaration with no Zod, spec or stored surface, reached by consumers through the compiler — and the gate verifies the symbol at HEAD rather than resting on a detector miss, which no-migration-prescription would have. The marker is one, in the changeset body, beside the Clause-② line.
    • patch on plugin-security, runtime, service-analytics, platform-objects: the dev measured the edited comment text in their built dist; plugin-auth and metadata-protocol measured as not shipping (consistent with the build split: those two use a package-local tsup config, the four use the root one). trigger-record-change (test file), qa/dogfood and app-showcase (private) publish nothing. Under the fixed lockstep group these rows move no version number, so the only effect is CHANGELOG placement. Accepted. No skip-changeset, correctly: the diff publishes.
    • The Clause-②: line matches what the diff publishes: no (no new key), (narrowing) (accept set shrinks), BREAKING carried.

    ③ Boundary flags

    Dev deviations (seven), each answered:

    1. Changeset grades four extra packages patch — accepted (②).
    2. runtime-interface-only rather than no-migration-prescription — the right category (②).
    3. Interface rather than alias for RunDataContext — accepted; it keeps the plugin-approvals ledger byte-stable, and the debt-ledger run is green (①.2).
    4. Enumeration widened to 24 sites in 11 packages including private examples/app-showcase and packages/qa/dogfood — inside the claim's fence ("every other hit of the enumeration outside packages/spec, comments and docstrings only, listed on the PR"); the pin is the grep command and its classified 76-line output on the PR body, which is the form triage asked for. Accepted.
    5. Dependents typecheck ran before the merge of main — superseded by TypeScript Type Check and the four Type Check · runs green on the head.
    6. Full suites of the comment-only packages and Dogfood left to CI — Test Core and Dogfood Regression Gate green on the head.
    7. Five pushes — nothing to judge.

    open_questions: none.

    Cross-lane declarations: plugin-security, plugin-auth, runtime, metadata-protocol, platform-objects, service-analytics, trigger-record-change (comment-only, declared on the PR); objectql read and untouched. Accepted.

    Escalated to the owning seat, none blocking this head:

    PR #22357 merged through the merge queue as 746637e5. On origin/main, @objectstack/service-automation (minor, BREAKING for TypeScript importers):

    • The RunProvenanceContext type export is retired. RunDataContext names only what resolveRunDataContext returns. No runtime behaviour changes.
    • 24 comment and docstring sites in 11 packages that described the pre-ADR-0096-D5 fall-open in the present tense now say that D5 refuses a principal-less context. The four packages whose edited text ships in dist get patch lines.
    • The contract-tier review passed (6070198297).

    The PR's Fixes line closed the card completed. This note also removes pm:dispatched and the assignee.
