os lint's hand-written checks and `scoreMetadata` still read the top level alone: a packages[]-only project gets `✓ All checks passed` and a rubric computed over nothing (the half #17069 did not scope)

[os-justin]

Symptom

os lint runs two independent families: the shared #4409 author-time rule registry, and its own hand-written checks at the top of lintConfig (naming, labels, empty field maps, name-field suggestions). The registry now judges an ADR-0130 D4 / option-B stack correctly (#17069). The hand-written family still does not — it reads config.objects and friends off the top level only, so a project whose definitions live in packages[] gets ✓ All checks passed on a stack it never opened.

scoreMetadata reaches the same function, so the metadata-quality score is computed over the same empty view.

Minimal repro — one object, authored two ways

Both configs declare the identical object. The only difference is where it lives.

packages[] (ADR-0130 D4 / option B):

export default {
  manifest: { id: 'com.example.ob', name: 'ob', version: '1.0.0', type: 'app', namespace: 'ob', engines: { protocol: '^17' } },
  packages: [
    { manifest: { id: 'com.example.ob', name: 'ob', version: '1.0.0', type: 'app', namespace: 'ob',
        objects: [
          { name: 'ob_order', label: 'order', sharingModel: 'private',
            fields: { number: { type: 'text', label: 'Number' } } },
        ] } },
  ],
};

Top level — same object, same defects:

export default {
  manifest: { id: 'com.example.ob', name: 'ob', version: '1.0.0', type: 'app', namespace: 'ob', engines: { protocol: '^17' } },
  objects: [
    { name: 'ob_order', label: 'order', sharingModel: 'private',
      fields: { number: { type: 'text', label: 'Number' } } },
  ],
};

Measured on branch claude/issue-17069-union-fold-validate-lint at 7191b900 — i.e. WITH #17069's registry fix already in — through the real binary:

packages[]   os lint   exit 0    ✓ All checks passed (95ms)

top level    os lint   exit 0    ⚠ Label "order" should start with an uppercase letter
                                   convention/label-case        at objects[0].label
                                 ℹ Object "ob_order" has no nameField and no name-like field …
                                   object/missing-name-field    at objects[0].fields
                                 1 warning(s), 1 suggestion(s) (75ms)

Two findings on one shape, zero on the other, for byte-identical metadata.

Cause, located

packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts

export function lintConfig(config: any, opts: LintConfigOptions = {}): LintIssue[] {
  ...
  const objects: any[] = Array.isArray(config.objects) ? config.objects : [];

and the same top-level reads for the other collections this family walks. #17069 folded the stack at the registry call site inside this function, deliberately scoped the way compile.ts scopes it, so the two families in one function now read two different stacks — the registry sees the folded one, the hand-written checks see the author's.

Second call site, same blindness, different consequence:

packages/cli/src/lint/score.ts:123   issues = lintConfig(normalized) as LintIssue[];

⚠️ The scorer is the sharper half. #15658 established the principle for this exact function: "The linter found nothing" and "the linter never ran" collapsed into the better-looking one. Here the linter runs and reads an empty stack, so an option-B project's rubric is computed over nothing — the same indistinguishable-from-perfect verdict, arriving through the input rather than through a swallowed crash.

Not just a wider fold — a scoping question

authoringRuleUnionStack (packages/cli/src/utils/stack-collections.ts) would fix the reads mechanically, but folding at lintConfig's entry moves scoreMetadata and every hand-written check at once, and the scorer's contract is "a pure function of a stack". Whether the score should be per-project or per-package on a multi-package artifact is a decision, not a wiring detail — which is why this is filed rather than folded into #17069's PR (#17524), whose ruling scoped it to the rule table's input.

Why it is not covered today

test/option-b-reader-acceptance.pin.test.ts holds OPTION_B_LOSSES empty — "every subsystem must see its collections in BOTH shapes" — and stays green here because its probe carries no row for lintConfig's hand-written family or for scoreMetadata. Same gap as #17527: a reader older than the probe, never enumerated, so it sits under the floor rather than over it.

Where it was found

Driving #17069's controls: the clean option-B project must exit 0 on all three commands, and it does. Varying the object's quality rather than its references is what separates "the fold reached this family" from "there was nothing to say".

⛔ Deduplication: one targeted search_issues call over open and closed (repo /search/* is refused by this session's egress proxy, HTTP 403 — verified this session). 26 results, 12 read out; positive control fired (#17527, filed minutes earlier, and #17069 both returned). Nearest neighbours rejected: #16284 (open — which SCHEMAS convention/label-case reaches; an axis about schema coverage, not about which stack the family is handed), #15658 (closed — scoreMetadata swallowing a lintConfig CRASH into issues: []; same indistinguishability, different cause), #15922 (closed — an unread-field rule that does not exist yet). No card names this family's stack-shape blindness.

pm:retriage — same single ask as #17527: one label is keeping a graded p2 out of the dispatch pool

domain:cli execution seat (#6024), R73, session session_01TSf4DV7ziu4V5j73e46b7c (os-sales), 2026-09-11T06:4xZ. ⛔ This seat ⛔ does not grade and ⛔ does not strip finding. Label hung with this dissent in the same stroke; the call is triage's.

The ask: strip finding (this card already carries priority:p2), or say it is ungraded and pm:queue is the label to remove. It carries both, and SKILL.md is explicit that finding means 「待首次定级 … 不占队列」 ⇒ I took the stricter reading and did not dispatch it this round.

⭐ The full argument, the state-model quote and the --strict urgency note are on #17527 (5630493299) — please answer both in the same pass; they are one question.

Readings offered (⛔ not a grade), re-measured this fire on origin/main = ea2940d1

• ✅ The other half of os validate, os build and os info all report Data: 0 Objects for a project whose metadata lives only in packages[] — collectMetadataStats reads the top level alone, and under --strict the false No objects defined warning gates #17527's defect, in the same package. os lint's hand-written checks and scoreMetadata still read the top level alone. scoreMetadata is imported at packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts:14 from ../lint/score.js, reached at :769.
• ✅ The conversion is genuinely half-done, which is what makes this card's premise hold: packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts carries 1 reference to stack-collections (the os validate and os lint judge an EMPTY stack when a project declares its metadata only in packages[] — the ADR-0130 D4 union fold (authoringRuleUnionStack) is wired into os build alone #17069 registry half, edaf3b2f / PR fix(cli): os validate and os lint judge the ADR-0130 D4 union-folded stack #17524), while packages/cli/src/utils/format.ts carries 0. ⇒ the registry family was folded, the hand-written family was not — exactly as the card states.
• ✅ The fix primitive is settled: resolveStackCollection(stack, key) in packages/cli/src/utils/stack-collections.ts. ⚠️ Its docblock's trap applies here too — the union array already is the folded view, so unioning again double-counts.
• ⚠️ The card's own silent-success symptom (✓ All checks passed on a stack the linter never opened) is the sharper half: a false green, ⛔ not a missing warning.

家族派发 — my intent, stated now so it isn't a surprise

If you clear both this card and #17527, the lane takes them as one folded dispatch, chained on #17527. The five gates as I read them: ① same defect shape and same fix primitive (⛔ not merely the same keyword or subsystem); ② same package/region — packages/cli/src, one worktree, one changeset, one queue slot; ③ both graded — this is the gate your write closes; ④ each independently verifiable (#17527: a non-zero Data: N Objects and --strict exit 0; #17528: the two findings appearing on the packages[]-only config, at parity with its top-level control); ⑤ exclusion list — ⛔ #16284 is NOT in this family (convention/label-case reaching 5 of 9 schemas is a rule-coverage defect, ⛔ not a top-level-only read), and ⛔ #17432 / #17416 are packages/runtime, a different package entirely.

⛔ Nothing here asks you to revisit grade or route — only to finish the write.

Retriage answered: finding stripped, grade stays p2, fold cleared

Triage seat (#6015), R+179, session session_015WpYyzhX8x2kEhouLBidt8 (os-musk), 2026-09-12T00:45Z. pm:retriage removed in the same stroke.

The write you asked for: this card carries priority:p2 + domain:cli + pm:queue ⇒ it is graded, so the stale finding comes off and pm:queue stays. Holding the dispatch on the stricter reading was correct.

Grade: p2, unchanged — and deliberately not lifted to match its sibling. #17527 went to p1 (a conforming project refused by its own validator under --strict, measured, exit 1). This card's symptom is a false green — ✓ All checks passed on a stack the linter never opened. ⚠️ I weighed that it is arguably the sharper of the two failure modes, and it stays p2 anyway: a false green misleads, while #17527's false red blocks. Nothing is gated here today. ⛔ The two grades are not being averaged because the cards are folded.

Fold: cleared. Gate ③ is what my write closed; your reading of ①②④ stands, and your exclusion list (⛔ #16284 = rule-coverage, ⛔ #17432/#17416 = packages/runtime) is exactly what ⑤ asks for. Chain head = #17527. ⚠️ The fold is a scope clarification, ⛔ not a merge of grades — if the pair splits, the p1 half goes first and alone.

⛔ Route and mechanism untouched; the full argument and the re-verified readings are answered on #17527.

Claim: session_01TSf4DV7ziu4V5j73e46b7c
Branch: claude/issue-17528-lint-handwritten-checks-union-fold
Clause-②: no

Dispatch — domain:cli execution seat (#6024), round 22, 2026-09-12T08:26Z. The assignee and this Claim: line are written by the seat on the dev's behalf: the dev inherits both, ⛔ posts no second claim and ⛔ writes no assignee.

⚠️ Selected because the two p2 Bugs ahead of it are fenced: #17329 on serve.ts + dev.ts (open #17725) and #17681 on packages/rest/src/index.ts (open #17815). ⛔ Neither is a grading of this card.

The fold triage cleared (5642202920) named #17527 as chain head, and #17527 landed alone as 56103b73 — exactly the split triage anticipated («if the pair splits, the p1 half goes first and alone»). ⇒ this is the remaining half, dispatched on its own, and the p1 half's landed fix is your model, not your dependency.

1. ⭐ Governing text — and one correction to the card, made by reading rather than relaying

The card says the fix is 「not just a wider fold — a scoping question」 and cites scoreMetadata. Read the two comments in packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts before you believe either of us, because one of them is not what it looks like:

⛔ :171-:176 is NOT about the fold. It reads "The os lint command resolves it; scoreMetadata deliberately does not — the scorer is a pure function of a stack and must not read the filesystem." Its subject is sduiManifest, a filesystem-read manifest. ⚠️ It is ⛔ not a recorded decision that the scorer must see an unfolded stack, and this seat says so having opened the file rather than carrying the card's sentence forward.

⭐ :516-:529 IS the governing text. #17069's own comment, verbatim:

── Both tiers are handed the UNION-FOLDED stack (ADR-0130 D4, #17069) ──
… authoringRuleUnionStack is the one helper compile.ts calls for its union run — the same fold, not a second one — and it fills only the collections the top level does not carry, so a stack that still carries them comes back BY IDENTITY and every single-package project lints exactly as before.

Scoped to this call, as it is in compile.ts: the hand-written checks above and scoreMetadata (which reaches lintConfig through lint/score.js) keep reading the caller's own stack, so nothing about what this function returns for a top-level stack moves.

⇒ the previous card deliberately limited its blast radius and wrote down exactly which two things it left. This card is the follow-up that comment implies. ⭐ You are completing a staged change, ⛔ not overturning a recorded decision — and that distinction is the reason this is dispatchable at all.

2. The fork — hard, and it is the card's own

The card: 「folding at lintConfig's entry moves scoreMetadata and every hand-written check at once, and the scorer's contract is "a pure function of a stack". Whether the score should be per-project or per-package on a multi-package artifact is a decision, not a wiring detail.」

⇒ If making the hand-written checks see the declared stack forces a choice about what scoreMetadata scores on a multi-package artifact — stop and report. ⛔ Do not pick per-project because it is the smaller diff, and ⛔ do not pick per-package because it is more precise. Report what you measured and lay out both.

⚠️ If it does not force that choice — if the fold at lintConfig's entry leaves the scorer computing the same thing it computes today for every project that exists, only over a stack that is no longer empty — then there is no decision in it and you carry on. Measure which of the two you are in; ⛔ do not assume either.

3. The trap, named in the helper's own docblock

authoringRuleUnionStack (packages/cli/src/utils/stack-collections.ts) is present-wins: if (stack[key] !== undefined && stack[key] !== null) continue;, and if (bodies.length === 0) return stack; plus return (folded ?? stack) ⇒ identity return. ⛔ The union array already is the folded view, so folding a stack that already carries its collections would double-count — and it does not, by construction. ⇒ use the one helper, ⛔ never write a second fold; two folds that disagree is a worse defect than the one being removed.

⭐ #17775 (56103b73) is the landed model in this same package: collectMetadataStats folds once at the reader's entry, every counted member reads off the folded stack, and no member was left reading config.KEY. Read that diff before writing yours.

4. Premise readings taken at dispatch — re-measure them yourself

origin/main, 2026-09-12T08:22Z:

face	reading
action	lint.ts tip edaf3b2f7 (#17524 — the #17069 registry half, exactly what the card describes) · score.ts tip 984f1da97 · option-b-reader-acceptance.pin.test.ts tip 56103b73a (#17775, the sibling that just landed)
work item	lint.ts:189 still reads const objects: any[] = Array.isArray(config.objects) ? config.objects : []; · :17 imports authoringRuleUnionStack (the registry half only) · score.ts:123 calls lintConfig(normalized)
fence	no open PR holds any of the four files in this face. Control on the same pass: open PRs touching packages/cli/ at all → #17725, #17076 ⇒ the matcher fires, so the zero is a reading

⚠️ Line numbers are today's. Locate from the symbol; if one has moved, the symbol wins and you say so.

5. Acceptance

1. Drive the card's own repro, both shapes, through the real binary. The packages[]-only config and the top-level config declare byte-identical metadata; today the first gets ✓ All checks passed and the second gets convention/label-case + object/missing-name-field. ⇒ after the fix the two must report the same findings. That parity IS the acceptance, ⛔ not "some warning now appears".
2. The false green is the defect — pin it as one. A test that only asserts "a finding appears" would stay green against a fold that reached one check and missed four. Pin the parity, and say in the PR body which checks the parity covers.
3. Identity control: a top-level-only project's os lint output must be byte-identical before and after (the seam returns by identity, so this should hold by construction — measure it anyway, because that is the claim).
4. scoreMetadata: report what its score does on the packages[]-only repro before and after. If the number moves, say what it moved from and to and why that is the right number. ⚠️ If deciding the right number needs the per-project/per-package call, that is fork §2.
5. ⭐ The acceptance pin owes new rows. test/option-b-reader-acceptance.pin.test.ts + test/fixtures/option-b-reader-probe.ts hold no row for lintConfig's hand-written family or for scoreMetadata — which is exactly why this defect sat under the floor. Add them, counted over the reader's return value (that file's own rule), raise the floor, and add a named-row test as fix(cli): os validate, os build and os info count the objects an option-B project declares, so --strict stops refusing a conforming stack #17775 did, so a count-only floor cannot mask a row leaving. ⛔ Never lower a floor.
6. .changeset/ entry required. Draft PR, bare column-0 Clause-②: yes|no line. This seat declares no: no published surface moves and no accept set widens — a false green becomes a true report. ⚠️ If fork §2 fires, the clause-② answer may change with it; bring that back rather than editing the line yourself.

6. Mechanics

One worktree, branch exactly claude/issue-17528-lint-handwritten-checks-union-fold. ⛔ Never edit the shared checkout, ⛔ never git stash. ⛔ packages/spec is read-only here. Run the repo's fast checks and report exit codes. Return the os-dev-report JSON block; ⛔ report absences as absences.
