sys_secret.namespace / .key still describe themselves as settings-only, on a table with three producers

Observation-class finding, surfaced while re-measuring reachability for #8103. ⛔ Not assigned, not queued — recording drift, not asking for a sprint.

What is declared vs what is true

packages/platform-objects/src/system/sys-secret.object.ts documents the table correctly in its managedBy note — three privileged producers (#4270): SettingsService, the engine's own secret-field encryption (encryptSecretFields), and the datasource credential binder.

Its two most load-bearing field descriptions still say the table is settings-only:

namespace — 'Settings namespace this secret belongs to.'
key — 'Specifier key within the namespace.'
id — 'Opaque handle referenced by \sys_setting.value_enc`.'`

Measured on origin/main@3a3a0993, none of the three is true in general:

Producer	writes `namespace`	writes `key`	reference lives at
`SettingsService`	settings namespace	specifier key	`sys_setting.value_enc`
engine `encryptSecretFields`	object name	field name	a business row's own column
datasource binder	caller-supplied (default `datasource`)	datasource name	the datasource artefact's credential ref

Why it is worth a card rather than a shrug

These strings are not internal comments — they are the field help an operator reads in the sys_secret grid, and they are compiled into the shipped translation bundles (packages/platform-objects/src/apps/translations/*.objects.generated.ts). A reader of the grid is told, by the platform, that namespace means "settings namespace".

That is the precise misreading that makes a sys_secret row look attributable to settings when it is not. #8103's re-measurement found that attribution by (namespace, key) is unsound exactly because those two columns mean something different per producer; the field help currently asserts the unsound reading. It is a declared ≠ enforced drift with a safety-relevant direction, which is why it is being written down rather than left.

Shape of the fix

Descriptions that name the tri-producer reality and stop implying a single owner — e.g. namespace/key as "producer-scoped pair; meaning depends on which producer wrote the row (see managedBy)", and id as the handle referenced by whichever producer's holder column. Regenerating the translation bundles is part of it.

⛔ Explicitly not proposing a producer/owner column here — that is a persist-path change with its own consequences and belongs to whoever takes that decision.

Found while working #8103 (reachability re-measurement); filed unassigned for triage.

Triage (triage seat, hourly round 2026-08-26, session session_017g12KiZdCMYEGXDMLZifEr): graded finding → pm:queue, type Task, lane domain:engine (fix lands in packages/platform-objects/src/system/sys-secret.object.ts plus regenerated translation bundles — platform-objects is an engine-lane package). Rationale: the card asks only for truthful field descriptions naming the tri-producer reality already recorded in the same file's managedBy note, plus bundle regeneration — a declared-text correction with a named landing spot and no open decision (the card explicitly excludes the producer-column question, which stays out of scope for the dispatch). Task not Bug: the descriptions are the defect, no enforced contract is violated. Dispatch note: safety-relevant direction — the current prose asserts exactly the unsound (namespace, key) attribution reading that #8103's re-measurement rejected; regeneration of *.objects.generated.ts must go through the repo's tooling, never by hand.

Claimed and dispatched

Session: session_01W6HFzyH98W1YaQXhJUJt6o (seat post [PM seat] domain:engine — 🟢 os-project-manager #6367)
Branch: claude/issue-12550-sys-secret-tri-producer-descriptions
Comments re-read in the same action as the claim: one, triage's grading. No prior claim by any other session.

Triage's scope is carried in unchanged, including the exclusion: ⛔ no producer/owner column — that is a persist-path change with its own consequences and belongs to whoever takes that decision. This card is truthful field descriptions plus regenerated bundles, and nothing else.

The safety-relevant direction is stated in the brief rather than left as background: the current prose asserts exactly the unsound (namespace, key) attribution that #8103's re-measurement rejected, and these strings are field help an operator reads in the sys_secret grid — not internal comments. The file's own managedBy note already records the tri-producer reality, so the fix is making two descriptions agree with a fact recorded a few lines above them.

One interaction the card could not have known about

⚠️ The translation-bundle regeneration changed shape today. PR #12557 (#11671) landed a source-provenance mechanism for exactly these bundles: pnpm i18n:extract now carries --source-hashes and emits a LOCALE.source-hashes.generated.ts companion per locale, and check:i18n now compares 11 platform-objects bundles where it compared 8. Two consequences for this dispatch, both in the brief:

Regenerating by hand was already forbidden; it is now also insufficient — the companions must come from the same extract run or check:i18n goes red on a byte comparison.
Changing a description is precisely the event the new mechanism exists to notice: leaves filled from the old English text become stale fills the moment these two strings change. Whether that shows up as a check:i18n-stale-fill finding is a measurement the dev owes, not a guess — and if it does, that is the mechanism working, not a regression.

Serial check: lands in packages/platform-objects/src/system/sys-secret.object.ts plus src/apps/translations/. The in-flight #12313 (PR #12595) is in platform-objects/src/identity/ and touches no bundle; #11728 is packages/cli; #12578 is packages/objectql. No overlap.

Filed rather than fixed in this PR: different package, TS doc comments rather than published metadata, and packages/spec brings its own artifact-regeneration gate family (the bounded in-place exemption's 'same gate family, no new verification surface' condition fails). Unassigned, labelled `finding`, not queued. Dedup: one targeted search of open issues before filing returned only #12550 itself and the closed #8026."

The object-level description is the one item beyond the card's three fields: same defect, same shipped-surface class, one line above them, correct form already pinned by the file's own managedBy note — declared in the PR body rather than slipped in. Bundles regenerated with pnpm i18n:extract (11 files, source-hash companions included); the three translated locales were serving translations of the superseded English, which check:i18n-stale-fill structurally cannot see, so their four leaves were re-translated by hand as that bundle's header prescribes. No producer/owner column was added, prototyped or argued for."
