File surface:packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/(the approvals REST route's query parsing + tests). Stop on breach.
Container & model: S/M REST-ingress change with one contract judgment (closed parameter set),mode:subagent,model: opus.
Serial constraints cleared: #7278 / PR #7592 (same package) merged at 07:0xZ and content-verified onorigin/main— the serial gate this card was explicitly held behind is now open. No other open PR or in-flight claim touchesplugin-approvals.Direction set at dispatch (premise-carrying ruling, not maintainer-escalated — restore-invariant class): refuse the unknown parameter with a located
400naming the supported filters, per the #5714/#5931/#7463 family norm (silent acceptance of a request the server does not understand is the anti-pattern, and honouringassignedToMeas a new alias would be pull-less surface expansion — the console already asks this question viaapproverId=…,role:user, as the card itself measured). Premise, to verify before implementing: nothing consumesassignedToMe. If a real consumer surfaces, stop and report the fork instead of implementing either way. The card's wider "reject unknown query params as one policy across all endpoints" suggestion is out of scope — that is a cross-lane REST-ingress policy question; report it as a finding for triage rather than implementing it here.

ACCEPT — PR #7607, reviewed against GitHub rather than the report's own claims.
The location deviation is the headline, and it is the #5586 shape handled correctly. The card guessed the fix face was
packages/plugins/plugin-approvals("root cause: not located in this run") and the dispatch repeated that guess as a mechanism assumption. The dev measured:GET /api/v1/approvals/requestsis registered byregisterApprovalsEndpointsinpackages/rest/src/rest-server.ts— plugin-approvals supplies the service behind it and owns no route. Fixing at the real producer instead of patching the declared surface is the os-dev contract-first duty working as designed; the breach is loudly declared in its own PR section, forced by where the code lives, and unsplittable. All four changed files are inpackages/rest— which isdomain:cli's package, so the cross-seat declaration goes to the cli seat (#6024), posted alongside this ACCEPT.The dispatch-time ruling held, and its premise was verified:
assignedToMerefused rather than aliased. Grep across all packages,examples/**, and the prebuilt console package: zero consumers; the client SDK sends only a strict subset of the closed set. The fork condition never fired.Verified in the diff:
- Closed set measured off the handler's own reads, exported (
APPROVAL_REQUEST_LIST_PARAMS) so pins assert against the real list, not a copyable second one. Paging inside the set on purpose — a filters-only whitelist would have traded silent widening for a loud paging outage; the dispatch's one warned trap, avoided. - Refusal speaks the route's existing dialect: located
400, ADR-0112 nested envelope, sameVALIDATION_ERRORposition as thepackages/rest的其它req.query.*读取点同样把string | string[]当字符串用(#6307 的未扩大部分) #6877 repeated-parameter refusal on this very handler — one route, one malformed-request dialect. Message names the unknown parameters and lists every supported one. - 13 cases assert the right things:
statusAND nestedbody.error.codeAND the located message AND the service was never asked — because on the unfixed code the answer was an ordinary200, so status-only or throw-shaped assertions are worthless here. The misspelling class (assignee,mine,approver…) is covered, not just the one reported name. - Reverse verification reproduces the defect verbatim: gate removed →
expected a 400 refusal for assignedToMe, got 200 with body {"data":[…both rows…]}— a pin on this bug, not on "something changed". §2 controls (approverId narrowing asserted on the service argument, no-param full list, paging, aliases) stay green under the revert, correctly. - Regression held:
@objectstack/rest83/1357,plugin-approvalsat the fix(approvals): one decision, one dialog — carry reject/recall confirm questions ondescription#7592 baseline 21/458 (after building its closure — the unbuilt-dep trap diagnosed, not papered over), typecheck clean. - Scope discipline: the cross-endpoint unknown-parameter policy is NOT implemented here — filed as [rest] Unknown query parameters are silently dropped on every REST route except
/approvals/requests— decide whether the closed-parameter-set rule becomes ingress policy #7606 for triage (dedup-searched), with the helper introduced and proven on one route so that decision, if taken, starts from working code.
CI at review time: converging. Driving to landing: gate conclusions → ready → arm → queue verify.

Implemented the ruling as written — a closed parameter set on this route, refusing anything outside it with a located 400 in the ADR-0112 nested envelope ({ error: { code: 'VALIDATION_ERROR', message } }, the same shape the #6877 repeated-parameter refusal on this same handler already answers with); the message names the unrecognised parameters and lists every supported one. The dispatch PRECONDITION was verified before implementing and holds: grep over the whole worktree (all packages, examples/**, the packages/console prebuilt-SPA package) returns ZERO consumers of assignedToMe in any file type, and the client SDK's approvals.listRequests sends only a strict subset of the closed set — so no fork, no alias. ⚠️ ONE PM MECHANISM ASSUMPTION FALSIFIED, and it moved the file surface: the route is NOT in packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/ (the card said 'not located in this run' and guessed the same). GET /api/v1/approvals/requests is registered by registerApprovalsEndpoints in packages/rest/src/rest-server.ts approx. line 9200; plugin-approvals supplies only the service behind it and is UNMODIFIED by this PR. I read the declared file surface as derived from that assumption rather than as an independent constraint — the fork the claim comment told me to stop on was 'a real consumer exists', which did not occur — so I implemented at the true location and am flagging the move here rather than silently. If the PM wants the surface breach adjudicated before this lands, that is the one thing to look at. The closed set was measured from the handler's own reads, not from the card: 5 filters + q + limit/offset + the 3 snake_case aliases; paging is inside the set on purpose, since a filters-only whitelist would have traded a silent-widening bug for a loud paging outage." , "tests": "Build closure FIRST (toolchain trap 2): pnpm --filter '@objectstack/rest^...' build → success.

Full package: pnpm --filter @objectstack/rest test → 'Test Files 83 passed (83) / Tests 1357 passed (1357)'. pnpm --filter @objectstack/rest typecheck → clean (tsc --noEmit, no output). Regression on the same-day #7592 package: pnpm --filter @objectstack/plugin-approvals test → 'Test Files 21 passed (21) / Tests 458 passed (458)' — the stated 21/458 baseline, held. (First attempt showed 5 files failing at COLLECTION with 'Failed to resolve entry for package @objectstack/service-automation' — the unbuilt-dependency trap, not this change; green after pnpm --filter '@objectstack/plugin-approvals^...' build.) Gates: pnpm check:docs-audit-scope → pass (56 + 22 self-tests, 179 docs, 9 release pages read-only); node scripts/check-nul-bytes.mjs → 'OK (scanned 7023 text file(s) ... no raw ASCII control bytes)', plus a widened self-scan grep -naP over both new files → clean. No new fake engine double, so check:engine-double-contract is not implicated. REVERSE VERIFICATION, direction predicted BEFORE running (red on §1, green on §2/§3): gate removed via Edit (never git stash) → 'Tests 5 failed | 8 passed (13)', and the red reproduces the reported defect verbatim rather than failing generically — 'expected a 400 refusal for assignedToMe, got 200 with body {\"data\":[{\"id\":\"req_1\"},{\"id\":\"req_2\"}]}' — while the card's own control ('approverId=u_42,role:user still narrows') and the unparameterised full-list case stayed green; the ordering case flipped to the multiplicity message, proving the precedence. Fix restored and re-confirmed (git diff --stat = rest-server.ts only, +35). CI at report time (snapshot, NOT converged — PM owns convergence): 9 jobs completed success (Auto Label, Check PR Size, ADR maintainer approval, Console Pin Freshness, Check Documentation Links, Flag docs affected, filter, same-issue-claim gate, Vercel), 2 skipped; ESLint, TypeScript Type Check, Check Changeset, Test Core (1-3/3), Build Core and the Dogfood gates all still in_progress.

Filed standalone (not a sub-issue of #7527: it does not fall inside this card's completion scope), unassigned and UNLABELED for PM triage — it is a concrete defect class users hit today, not observation-class, so no `finding` label. Duplicate search run first (semantic search on both the policy wording and the symptom wording, plus a code search for refuseUnknownQueryParams): no existing twin; the nearest neighbours are #7534 (same anti-pattern on the where/$filter face, already closed) and this card. The body records the four costs that make it a decision rather than a chore — per-route closed sets must be measured not swept (~50 read points), it is breaking for traffic we cannot measure precisely because we drop it silently, it changes the forward-compat stance for older servers, and it needs to agree with #7534 on envelope and message shape." ] }

Symptom
GET /api/v1/approvals/requests?assignedToMe=trueanswers 200 with every request the caller can see — the parameter is neither honoured nor rejected, it is silently dropped. A caller who believes they are asking for "the requests assigned to me" gets the unfiltered list back and has no way to tell, because an unfiltered result is indistinguishable from a genuinely broad one.The filter the console actually uses for that question is
approverId=…,role:user. So the capability exists;assignedToMeis simply not a parameter the endpoint knows, and unknown parameters are dropped rather than refused.Silent-ignore of an unknown filter is the same anti-pattern as defect 2 in the api-backend run, #7463 — "unknown field inside
where/$filteranswers 200/0 instead of400 INVALID_FIELD". Same failure mode, opposite direction: there an unknown key silently narrows to zero, here an unknown parameter silently widens to everything. Both are wrong in the same way — the server accepts a request it does not understand and returns a plausible-looking answer. Worth fixing as one policy (reject unknown query parameters with a located400) rather than one endpoint at a time.Root cause
Not located in this run. Behaviourally: the approvals request-list route reads its known parameters (
approverId,role, and the rest) off the query string and ignores the remainder, with no unknown-parameter rejection at ingress. The fix face is the approvals REST route's query parsing inpackages/plugins/plugin-approvals.Reproduction

GET /api/v1/approvals/requests?approverId=…&role=userdoes narrow correctly to the caller's assigned slate, confirming the filter capability itself works and only the parameter name is unrecognised.Expected: either honour
assignedToMe=trueas an alias for the caller's own approver slate, or refuse the unknown parameter with a located400naming the supported filters. Silently returning everything is the one answer that cannot be detected by the caller.Source
