维护者速读

• 改了什么：非系统写在 lookup / user 字段里只能引用调用方自己读得到的记录，读不到的一律答 reference_not_found（与 master_detail 同一条规则），且先于记录校验规则；委派管理员的 adminScope 覆盖的业务单元子树，委派人可读这些单元，范围外一个不读。
• 为什么改：裁决 6663849489（A 重申 + 委派读）；检查清单该项按规则改写为第 7 版，formula/objectql: relationship traversal in predicates — a validation rule or visibility predicate reads one hop through a lookup (record.crm_account.type); replaces the removed os.lookup declaration (#18318, batch #148) #18682 的旧角色退役。
• 风险与回滚：BREAKING 收窄。依赖「引用读不到的记录」的非系统写会被拒，系统写（种子、安装、启动）豁免且顺序与结果不变；委派读只对 sys_business_unit 的读、只在调用方自己的权限集不给读时生效。回滚即撤本 PR。
• 先看：packages/objectql/src/engine.ts（三条写路径的顺序）、packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/delegated-admin-gate.ts 的 delegatedUnitReadScope、security-plugin-authz-middleware.ts 第 2/3 步。
• 两分钟验证：pnpm --filter @objectstack/objectql exec vitest run src/engine-unreadable-reference-target.test.ts，预期 99/99 绿。
• 需要你做的：无，席位落地。

Warning

BREAKING — accept-set narrowing at the write's reference check (@objectstack/objectql), served by every write door. After the upgrade, a write that is not a system write is refused 400 VALIDATION_FAILED with the field's localized reference_not_found when a lookup or user value it supplies names a record the caller cannot read.

Fixes #29029

Clause-②: yes (narrowing) — the write's reference check narrows: a non-system lookup or user value naming a record the caller cannot read is refused. The business-unit read widens: a delegated admin reads the business units inside the admin scope it holds, and no other.
Metadata-protocol: none
Skills-docs: none — no file under skills/** teaches a reference to a record its writer cannot read, or a delegate's business-unit read (a grep of skills/ for reference_not_found finds only the permission-set catalog refusal, unchanged); content/docs states the rule on four pages (below).

What changes

The rule. A write that is not a system write may name, in a lookup, user or master_detail field, only a record its caller's own read door returns. An unreadable reference target always answers reference_not_found, before the record's validation rules. A record the caller cannot read answers exactly as a record that exists nowhere, and so does one whose read by the caller fails. System writes (isSystem) stay exempt, keep the order they had and give the answer they gave; a flow run's elevated write keeps its existence check. A reference to an object the registry does not hold is not judged. tree keeps the existence check alone. A lookup or user value naming a user the caller cannot read answers reference_not_found and its ban is not asked; a user the caller can read is judged for its ban as before (#30205).

The delegate read. An admin scope over a business-unit subtree (ADR-0090 D12) grants read on the business units inside that subtree, and on no unit outside it. It applies to a read of sys_business_unit that the caller's own permission sets do not grant, on the caller's own behalf, bounded to the union of the subtrees the caller's held scopes cover. A caller with a sys_business_unit grant reads as that grant says, as before.

• packages/objectql/src/engine-referential-integrity.ts — lookup and user join master_detail on the caller's read door; referencesCheckedBeforeRules, the one predicate every write door and the validate preview read for the order.
• packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, engine-validate.ts — insert, update by id, bulk update and the validate preview check references before the record's validation rules unless the write is a system write.
• packages/objectql/src/engine-references-and-master-detail.ts, engine-master-detail-related.ts — the caller-readable reference helpers (callerReadableReferenceExists, and callerReadableReferenceRow for the user reference whose ban is also asked), and the formula/objectql: relationship traversal in predicates — a validation rule or visibility predicate reads one hop through a lookup (record.crm_account.type); replaces the removed os.lookup declaration (#18318, batch #148) #18682 docblock now states the rule.
• packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/delegated-admin-gate.ts, security-plugin-authz-middleware.ts — scopedBusinessUnitIds and delegatedUnitReadScope; the middleware admits the read and narrows it to id IN the scoped units.
• docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/records-forms.json — records-forms.predicate-relationship-traversal takes revision 7, written to the rule.
• content/docs/api/error-catalog.mdx, content/docs/data-modeling/fields.mdx, content/docs/permissions/delegated-administration.mdx — each states the rule where a sentence would otherwise have gone false.
• content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx — row 23 says where a system write's reference check runs, and the generated site register names referencesCheckedBeforeRules.
• .changeset/29029-lookup-user-caller-read.md — @objectstack/objectql and @objectstack/plugin-security, patch.

Tests

• packages/objectql/src/engine-unreadable-reference-target.test.ts (99): lookup and user × insert / batch insert / update by id / bulk update — an unreadable target is refused as one that exists nowhere; a refused read of the target object answers the same; a multi-valued field with one unreadable member; a system write; a stored value carried back; the read door before the elevated probe. Added: on all four doors and for lookup, user and master_detail, an unreadable reference answers reference_not_found before the record's validation rules while a readable one reaches them; a reference to a record that exists nowhere answers the same before them; the validate preview agrees; controls — a system write and a flow run's system write keep the rules first, and a flow run's write keeps its reference check; a read of the target that fails is refused; a reference to an unregistered object is admitted.
• packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/delegated-admin-own-name-set.posture.test.ts (33), three postures: a delegate reads exactly the units its scope covers (find, findOne, count); assigning a unit in scope is admitted; a unit outside the scope it cannot read is refused reference_not_found; controls — a writer with no scope, and an organization admin, unchanged.
• packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/write-preview-field-gate-parity.test.ts: the controls' callers read the related account; a new block drives the editor who cannot, and both doors answer the lookup's reference_not_found.
• Forced edits, rule-preserving: six plugin-security suites provision sys_user with a row per user they name (__tests__/rig-users.testkit.ts) and give organization callers the org_user_ids the runtime fills from sys_member; predicate-related-read-tenant-scope counts the rule's related reads alone, and the peer its rule reads carries an expired ban, so the rule, not the ban check, answers it; four plugin-audit suites leave the write's id-only reference-check read out of their read counters.
• packages/objectql/src/engine-banned-user-reference.test.ts (11): the rig's caller reads a user's id, as a member does; the ban is read elevated; added: a user the caller cannot read is reference_not_found, and its ban is not read.
• packages/qa/dogfood/test/predicate-relationship-traversal.dogfood.test.ts: the member who cannot read the parent is answered reference_not_found on parent, and nothing is stored.

Ablations: each through scripts/ablation-replace.mjs, restored blob equal to HEAD, git diff HEAD empty

The objectql pins import ./engine.js from source and plugin-security's vitest aliases @objectstack/objectql to source, so each mutation is read from src/.

1. delegatedUnitReadScope returns {} instead of { id: { $in: [...ids] } }: delegated-admin posture suite 6 failed | 27 passed — the exact-read pin and the outside-unit reference_not_found pin × 3 postures.
2. The middleware's admission set to null: 21 failed | 12 passed; the no-scope and organization-admin controls green.
3. referencesCheckedBeforeRules returns false: 17 failed | 82 passed — every before-the-rules pin on four doors × three field types, the exists-nowhere pins and the preview pin; controls green.
4. The same predicate returns true: 4 failed | 95 passed — the flow-run system-write order control × four doors.
5. A failed caller read returns the asked ids: 9 failed | 90 passed — the fails-closed pin and the refused-read pins.
6. An unresolvable target returns false: 1 failed | 98 passed — the unregistered-object pin.
7. After the feat(objectql,rest)!: refuse a new assignment to a banned user; count and hand over their work #30546 merge, the user reference's caller read door removed (the ban probe alone): 17 failed | 93 passed over engine-banned-user-reference and engine-unreadable-reference-target — the two ban pins on the caller's read and 15 lookup / user pins.

Deviations

• feat(objectql,rest)!: refuse a new assignment to a banned user; count and hand over their work #30546 (Offboarding: banning a user says nothing about their open work, and there is no way to hand it over #30205) landed on main during this card and changed the same reference check. Its test rig gave a non-system caller no read of sys_user at all, and one of its pins held that such a caller is still answered reference_user_banned; ruling 6663849489 answers that caller reference_not_found. The rig now gives its caller the read of a user's id a member has, that pin now holds that the ban is read elevated, and a new pin holds the ruling's answer. Ablation 7 above: 17 red.
• content/docs/permissions/system-context.mdx and packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/__tests__/rig-users.testkit.ts sit outside the named file surface: the system-context census needs a row naming referencesCheckedBeforeRules, and the tenant-audit census would otherwise count the testkit's system insert as an application write.

Acceptance notes

• packages/services/service-automation/src/runas-system-reference-check.integration.test.ts still names masterDetailHeaderExists in a comment, outside this card's surface.
• The delegate read covers a caller's own read; a read on another's behalf (delegatorSets) is not widened. Explain and canReadObject do not reflect the delegate read.

Verification

All on head 75a7c44d96 (origin/main 14c67d446e merged at 93fce6c797; the dogfood closure was rebuilt after the merge; the one commit after it edits one plugin-security test).

Suites, typecheck, lint

• @objectstack/objectql: Test Files 557 passed (557), Tests 11155 passed (11155).
• @objectstack/plugin-security: Test Files 245 passed (245), Tests 5412 passed, 45 skipped (5457).
• @objectstack/plugin-audit: Test Files 73 passed (73), Tests 1145 passed (1145).
• pnpm --filter <package> typecheck for objectql, plugin-security (its test program included) and plugin-audit: exit 0.
• pnpm lint: exit 0.

Gates

node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack over the changed paths: 97 families, each run with its exit code captured before any pipe, all exit 0. --ran: 97 derived, 97 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN.

The first pass, before the last fixes, had six non-zero exits:

• check-tenant-audit-census and its self-test: the new testkit's sys_user insert counted as an application write call site. The testkit moved to src/__tests__/.
• check:system-context-census: referencesCheckedBeforeRules reads isSystem and no row named it. Row 23 now does, and the register is regenerated.
• check:query-options-erasure: three as any on engine options in a new posture test. They are typed now.
• check:skill-examples and check:dual-build-cjs-loads: exit 3 until the workspace was built, exit 0 after.

Full dogfood battery on 75a7c44d96 under the verify lock: VERDICT command-exit 0, Test Files 420 passed, 3 skipped (423), Tests 3504 passed, 36 skipped (3540).

📓 Docs Drift Check

This PR changes 3 package(s): @objectstack/objectql, @objectstack/plugin-security, @objectstack/verify, touching 26 documentable anchor(s).

28 hand-written doc(s) name something this change touched — list omitted above 15 rows. Re-derive on the tree named below: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 4bf9a2d7eeeec7c07971aba1a8734c227acaaa3a.

⛔ 10 release-owned page(s) also affected — read-only, see AGENTS.md Documentation Guardrails.

What this run could not see

• 2 anchor(s) matched too much of the corpus to be a work list: ObjectQL (symbol, 80 pages), master_detail (literal, 40 pages)
• 3 name(s) were too generic to anchor anything (single lowercase words)
• the SDK route bridge reached 63 of 221 client-bound route-ledger rows — the other 158 have no registrar path: tail to select them, so pages documenting THEIR client methods cannot appear above, on this or any run. Of those 158: 0 are remediable by widening that discovery convention (an in-repo file declares the path; the convention did not scan it); 55 are structural — on a ledger where NOT ONE row is declared in-repo, so no discovery change reaches them at any price; 103 are undecided (no in-repo declaration, on a ledger that has other in-repo registrars — absence and an unreadable spelling are not distinguishable here). The rows themselves: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --bridge-coverage
• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.
• a key NAME is not a key, so the hand re-read the line above prescribes can land on the wrong schema. The same spelling is authorable on one governed type and a [REMOVED] tombstone on another for each of active, aria, joins, objects, template, tools and version (censused on [finding] tools is a key on BOTH AgentSchema (tombstoned, dead) and SkillSchema (live, cloud-attested), so a name-based search attributes skill examples to the agent key — it produced a false stop-the-line alarm on PR #19059 #19093 over the liveness ledger's governed types, top-level keys); nothing in a search result distinguishes the two, so a grep hit on a LIVE example reads as evidence about the DEAD key. Measured on fix(spec): the agent.tools liveness row says dead — it claimed live on a key the schema tombstoned #19059: content/docs/ai/agents.mdx was reported as contradicting the agent.tools tombstone over its tools: example at :161, which is inside the defineSkill({ block opened at :155 — the page was already correct. Settle ownership by PARSING the value against both schemas, never by the name: that literal PASSES SkillSchema, and as an AgentSchema it FAILS at tools with the tombstone prescription. ⛔ These names are not the whole class — a key retired through a .strict() guidance map leaves no tombstone in the walked shape and none of them here (tool.category, live as AIToolDefinition.category).

Coarse fallback — 35 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 4bf9a2d7eeeec7c07971aba1a8734c227acaaa3a → packageMentionDocs.

Which tree this was computed on

This run read content/docs from b6eef4c978eb120244c4e43b1b0e825f3634f9ba — the merge of head 4ba91079fb120a94b2557e75eff3e84bfabb9659 into base 4bf9a2d7eeeec7c07971aba1a8734c227acaaa3a, which is what actions/checkout gives a pull_request run. Not the PR head.

A worktree cut from an older main holds a different content/docs, so re-deriving there can legitimately return a different list — that is a different tree, not a wrong row. To answer on the same tree:

# while this PR is open — GitHub drops the merge commit once it closes
git fetch origin b6eef4c978eb120244c4e43b1b0e825f3634f9ba && git checkout b6eef4c978eb120244c4e43b1b0e825f3634f9ba
# afterwards, rebuild it from the two parents, which stay fetchable
git fetch origin 4bf9a2d7eeeec7c07971aba1a8734c227acaaa3a 4ba91079fb120a94b2557e75eff3e84bfabb9659 && git checkout -B drift-repro 4bf9a2d7eeeec7c07971aba1a8734c227acaaa3a && git merge --no-ff 4ba91079fb120a94b2557e75eff3e84bfabb9659

⚠️ That checkout carried uncommitted changes, so the commit above does not fully identify what was read.

Advisory only, and a precision-first one (#9192): a page is listed because it names a
symbol, wire route or SDK method this diff touched — not because it mentions a changed
package. Each row says which anchor put it there, so a wrong row is reportable rather than
merely annoying. To re-verify, run the docs-accuracy-audit workflow scoped to these files:
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs 4bf9a2d7eeeec7c07971aba1a8734c227acaaa3a → pass the list as
args.docs, on the commit named under Which tree this was computed on.

Security read at 75a7c44d96 (asked by domain:server#2 on mailbox #30424). This is not the contract review, which is still owed on its own.

• The PR's two stated rules hold on every door it names: an unreadable reference target answers as one that exists nowhere, ahead of the record's rules, and fails closed when the caller's read fails; the delegate business-unit read stays inside the held scopes, the caller's own behalf and the caller's own organization, and a caller's own filter cannot widen it.
• A security item is with the owner seat. Please hold this PR out of the queue until security#1 posts a clear here. No change to this PR is asked for now; if one is, it will come as a rule on this thread.
