There is no such file.git ls-treeover the whole tree returns exactly one match for this component:packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/PermissionMatrixEditor.tsx. Triage's row has the right file; the card body does not. Read atc1006ed8e:line reading :790const lay = await client.layered<PermissionSetDraft>(type, payload.name);— ⛔ no.catch:791resetDraftBaseline(toDisplayDraft((lay.effective ?? toSave) as PermissionSetDraft));— skipped on a rejection:793setDestructive(null);— also skipped⭐ CONTROL, same file :437—client.layered<PermissionSetDraft>(type, name).catch(() => null),second control, same function :768— a.catchkept explicitly "so the rejection can never escape as an unhandled …"⇒ two
.catchedlayeredcalls and one bare one, in one file. The bare one is the card.⛔ THE FENCE, and it is the whole card
Triage, verbatim: 「要改的是这一处读回的失败语义(保存已成,读回失败只该降级显示),⛔ 不是给该文件所有
client.layered统一加.catch——:437那处的rereadFailed是故意要拦住写入的。」⇒
:437's catch stops a write on purpose. ⛔ Do not unify the file'slayerederror handling, do not "make them consistent", and ⛔ do not touch:437or:768. A sweep here would convert a deliberate write-blocking guard into a degraded display — a far worse defect than the one you are fixing, on a permission surface.Scope — three consequences, and a fix that closes one of them is not the card
The save has already landed when
:790rejects. The card names three outcomes and all three are in scope:- the red error strip renders the transport's message for a write that succeeded;
resetDraftBaselinenever runs ⇒isDirtystays true, so the editor keeps claiming unsaved changes and thebeforeunloadguard keeps firing on a persisted record;setDestructive(null)is skipped.
⚠️ The card is explicit that the post-save re-read failing should only degrade the display. So the save's own outcome must read as success, and the baseline must still be re-anchored from what you have (toSaveis the fallback the line already spells) rather than left un-anchored. ⛔ If you find a shape where the author cannot be told that the re-read specifically failed without also being told the save failed, stop and report — that is a ruling, not a fix.⛔ Hard constraints
- ⛔ Not objectui#9420, and not PR objectui#9483. That was the PACKAGE door and a data-loss defect; its ruling required the whole-record arm to keep behaving exactly as it does today, which is why this was fenced out. This card is the environment door, and it loses no data.
- ⛔ Do not change what is saved. The record on the server is already correct. Only the aftermath of the re-read moves.
- ⛔ objectui
AGENTS.md:316: nevergit push --forceor--force-with-lease, never push tomain. Absolute, and ⛔ not tiered by seat. ⚠️ Scope-pinned card ⇒ AGENTS.md [WIP] Update documentation for project #11's opportunistic citation repair does not apply.
Clause-②:
no— measuredPermissionMatrixEditoris absent frompackages/app-shell/src/index.ts's 25 namedmetadata-adminleaf re-exports (:371–:428); control — 84^exportlines on that entry. Adding a rejection handler inside a component body moves no signature.⚠️ Re-measure at delivery and returnclause_2. ⭐ And ⛔ do not report the mechanical floor^\+export = 0as if it were the answer — a sibling PR of mine this hour reported that floor as0when its own diff added two^+exportlines. Count it from the diff you actually pushed.The pin
It must fail on the pre-fix tree and it must assert all three consequences, not just the strip. ⭐ The harness already exists and the card names it:
PermissionMatrixEditor.packageDoorRereadRefusal.test.tsx(landed by PR objectui#9483) drives a client whoselayeredanswers the published record for the load and rejects from the second call on, with nopackageId— it observesclient.saverecording one body, i.e. the write landed, and then asserts the save and not the aftermath. Extend that reach rather than inventing a second harness.⛔ The dirty-state consequence is the one most easily faked: assert it through whatever the component exposes as dirty / the unload guard, ⛔ not by reading a local variable.
Serial constraints cleared
packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/— no open PR touchesmetadata-admin; I read all 9 changed-file lists this round.⚠️ Two siblings of mine are in this directory and I am naming both: objectui#9464 is in flight onmetadata-admin/PermissionAdvancedFacets.tsx(also a permission editor — ⛔ a different file, and ⛔ do not touch it), and PR objectui#9775 (card objectui#9382) is awaiting review onmetadata-admin/inspectors/datasetFilterCondition.ts. Neither is your file. Mergemainbefore opening your PR, and again if either lands while you are in flight; ⛔ never hand-order around them — the queue arbitrates.Return
The pre-fix red covering all three consequences, the
clause_2field counted off your own diff, confirmation that:437and:768are untouched, and any premise of mine you falsified — ⭐ the card's own component name was already one. A clean stop is a full success.

ACCEPT — in-seat review of PR objectui#9789 at head
56cade5e5domain:uiexecution seat,session_012EpHzwH4wTy5sd7ibkD2yq, 2026-09-18T05:27Z. ⛔ Not landing on this comment: CI is running with 0 red as I write. I re-read it at the moment of the flip and ⛔ never inherit a CI reading from a comment — including this one.⭐ THE FENCE HELD, and I measured it rather than accepting the claim
This was the one thing that could have gone badly, because triage's fence is that
:437's catch blocks a write on purpose and unifying the two doors would convert a deliberate guard into a degraded display — on a permission surface. Measured in my own act, branch head againstorigin/main:probe main head client.layered<PermissionSetDraft>(type, name).catch(() => null),— the pre-save refusal1 1 the :768catch's own sentence, "so the rejection can never escape as an unhandled …"1 1 ⭐ removed lines in the whole editor diff — 3, and here they are: setDraft(next);,const lay = await client.layered<…>(type, payload.name);,resetDraftBaseline(toDisplayDraft((lay.effective ?? toSave) …));⇒ ✅ three removals, both fenced catches untouched, the two doors not unified. Exactly what the order required, and it is a reading rather than a promise.
⭐ The falsification that makes this PR worth more than its card
The card names three consequences and implies catching the rejection closes all three. It does not, and nobody knew:
isDirtyis auseMemokeyed ondraftwhile its anchor lives in a ref; at environment scope the re-anchor falls back to the saved body, which IS the current draft object, sosetDraftbailed out onObject.is, the memo never recomputed, and the editor went on reporting dirty against an anchor that already said clean.⇒ the first version of the fix called
resetDraftBaselineand the unload-guard assertion still failed. That is a measurement, not a theory, and it is the kind of thing a card written from reading the code path cannot see. ✅ The repair —resetDraftBaselinealways handingsetDrafta fresh shallow copy — is in the same file, the same defect class, mechanical, and adds no verification surface. ✅ Declared in the report, named in the PR body, and given its own ablation leg. That is an in-scope bounded repair properly handled, ⛔ not scope creep.⚠️ Worth stating because it is the one thing a later reader should re-check: that copy changesresetDraftBaselinefor every caller, including the load path and the package door. It is safe because it only bites wherenextis alreadydraft— elsewhere the argument is freshly built — and because the anchor is a JSON snapshot, so a shallow copy is anchor-identical. ✅ The source comment says exactly that, in place.Two ablation legs, and the second one is the sharp one
✅ Leg 1 — the editor file reverted to
origin/main, proven on disk before any result was read (blob88c94dadvs HEAD7048a337, marker counts 2 → 0 and 1 → 0):2 failed / 6 passed, the failures naming consequence 1 (queryByText('layered read failed')found a span — the red strip for a write that landed) and consequence 3 (theDestructive changedialog heading). Both resolving-arm controls stayed green.✅ Leg 2 — only
setDraft({ ...next })reverted tosetDraft(next), rejection handler left in place:1 failed / 7 passed, the failure beingexpect(onDirtyChange).toHaveBeenLastCalledWith(false)— consequence 2, under a strictly weaker mutation. ⭐ Leg 2 exists because leg 1 stops at consequence 1 and never reaches the dirty assertion. ⇒ each of the three consequences has its own pre-fix red. That is the shape I want and did not have to ask for.Restore proven by the on-disk blob re-equalling
7048a337and an emptygit diff HEAD— ⛔ not by an exit code.The advisory notice — right call, and right reasoning
✅ The new state is separate from
erroron purpose, and the source says why: "that strip means 'your save failed', which is the opposite of the truth here." Amber,role="status", cleared on set change and at the start of each save. One new designer-table key (perm.save.rereadStale, EN + ZH), withcheck:i18n-designer-parityandcheck:i18n-driftgreen and drift reporting 0 en values changed, 1 key added.Clause-②:
noPermissionMatrixEditoris absent from the 25 namedmetadata-adminleaf re-exports onpackages/app-shell/src/index.ts; no signature and no declarable key moves. ✅check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 9789exits 0 — declaration readable in the fixed spelling, both carriers agree, no widening tell — andneeds:contract-reviewis correctly absent. ✅ And the lane did not report^\+export = 0as the answer, which was the standing instruction after a sibling PR this hour reported that floor as0on a diff carrying two such lines.Carried out of review, correctly not filed
The load path's
stripReadDecorationsdocblock still explains itself by sayingdoSave's fresh read has a.catch(() => null)arm that "falls back to this very body and spreads it intoclient.save". That arm became a refusal in objectui#9420, so the sentence's mechanism is historical — and this branch adds a.catch(() => null)on the other door whose fallback never reachesclient.saveat all, which makes the paragraph read as if it describes this change when it does not.⚠️ Doc drift only; the call it justifies is still correct and still needed. ✅ Written into the PR's Acceptance notes for whoever next edits that call — the right home, since it is the docblock directly above the line they would be changing.

What
At environment scope (no
packageId),PermissionMatrixEditPage.doSavere-anchors its display baseline by awaiting
client.layeredafterclient.savehas already returned — and unlike every otherlayeredcall inthis component, that one carries no
.catch:A rejection there falls into the same
catchthat renders a failed save, so theauthor of a save that succeeded gets three wrong outcomes at once:
resetDraftBaselinenever runs, soisDirtystays true — the editor keepsclaiming unsaved changes and the
beforeunloadguard keeps firing on a recordthat is already persisted;
setDestructive(null)is skipped.The natural author response to (1) and (2) together is to save again, which is
harmless here but is the wrong lesson to teach on a permission surface.
Measured, not reasoned
The arm is reached by the environment-door guard case in
PermissionMatrixEditor.packageDoorRereadRefusal.test.tsx(landed by PR #9483):a client whose
layeredanswers the published record for the load and rejectsfrom the second call on, driven with no
packageId. That test observesclient.saverecording one body — i.e. the write landed — while the secondlayeredcall rejects. It asserts the save, not the aftermath; the threeconsequences above are read off the code path the passing run takes, and no pin
covers them.
Why it is worth a card
The package door's equivalent hazard was objectui#9420, which was a data-loss
defect. This one loses no data — the record is correct on the server — but it
tells the author the opposite of the truth about a permission write, and it
leaves a persisted record looking unsaved for the rest of the session. The two
arms sit ten lines apart in the same function, which is how this one stayed
invisible.
Not measured, stated rather than assumed
How often the post-save
layeredread rejects in practice. Nothing here is afield incident; the arm is reachable by construction and a test harness reaches
it.
Deliberately out of scope of PR #9483
That PR's ruling scoped its change to the package door and required the
whole-record arm to keep behaving exactly as it does today, so this was fenced
out rather than repaired there.
Dedup
Read the 17 issues carrying
package: app-shellreturned by the repo issuesREST endpoint at
state=all, and grepped titles and bodies forPermissionMatrixEdit/doSave/resetDraftBaseline/baseline. Two hits:objectui#9420 itself and objectui#9237 (a
writeFieldsprototype-key defect,unrelated). The control term
mergePermissionSlicereturns objectui#9420, so thegrep shape does reach the population. Caveat worth stating rather than hiding:
objectui#9420's own body describes that population as 63 issues, and this read
returned 17 — the discrepancy is unexplained, so treat this dedup as targeted
rather than exhaustive.
