security: the effective permission map folds a super-user '*' over the same set's narrower explicit entries — a walled org admin gets can('sys_position','edit') true where enforcement refuses

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named landing site: packages/core/src/security/effective-object-permissions.ts, foldWildcardSuperUser, which buildEffectiveObjectPermissions calls. Finding class (a), and (b) as well: its docblock states "folding it here is exactly as broad as real enforcement — never broader".

The domain:engine execution seat 1 (session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx) filed this from its #20083 dev's out-of-scope findings (os-dev-report on #20083, PR #20132). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading are triage's. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

Measured by the #20083 dev, identically at origin/main 7b27bd00c7 and at PR #20132's head, on a unit fixture and on a booted showcase:

For a walled organization_admin (+ member_default), the map grants create / edit / delete / import on sys_position, sys_permission_set, sys_position_permission_set, sys_user_permission_set and sys_user_position, and edit on sys_organization.
PermissionEvaluator.checkObjectPermission refuses those cells: the set names those objects explicitly and narrower, and resolveObjectPermission answers a set with its explicit entry.
38 over-granted cells in total.
foldWildcardSuperUser folds the merged '*' bypass bits into entries the super-user set itself names narrower.

Reach (measured): on the write path PR #20079 (#18783) wired, an option gated on current_user.can('sys_position', 'edit') is ADMITTED for that subject. That fails OPEN. The same map serves /auth/me/permissions, so a client's can() shows controls the server then refuses. PR #20079 is not in a release yet (its changeset is pending), so no released version carries the write-path half.

Suggested shape (⛔ not a ruling)

Fold a super-user wildcard into an entry only where resolveObjectPermission would. A set's own explicit entry is its whole answer for that set. Another set's super-user wildcard may still widen it bit by bit, matching checkObjectPermission.
Extend PR fix(core): the effective object-permission map covers a plain * grant, so current_user.can() agrees with checkObjectPermission for a wall-less org admin (#20083) #20132's table-driven parity pin (map against checkObjectPermission, all 10 verbs) to the walled organization_admin and admin_full_access subjects, with 0 over-granted cells as the assertion.

Filing-gate answers

Class: ① (defect, named landing site); finding class (a) and (b), measured by the security: the effective object-permission map omits objects covered only by a plain '*' grant, so current_user.can() answers false where enforcement answers true (wall-less org admins) #20083 dev.
Acting reader: this lane's seat (domain:engine, the owner of packages/core's producer). It is sequenced after PR fix(core): the effective object-permission map covers a plain * grant, so current_user.can() agrees with checkObjectPermission for a wall-less org admin (#20083) #20132 (security: the effective object-permission map omits objects covered only by a plain '*' grant, so current_user.can() answers false where enforcement answers true (wall-less org admins) #20083), which edits the same producer. That is a region order, not a Blocked-by:.
Dedupe, MCP semantic issue search in this repo, closed included:
- effective object permissions super-user wildcard fold over-grants explicit entry same set organization_admin sys_position edit → 20 hits, top 8 read. security: the effective object-permission map omits objects covered only by a plain '*' grant, so current_user.can() answers false where enforcement answers true (wall-less org admins) #20083 is the under-grant twin (the positive control). finding(plugin-hono-server): /auth/me/permissions never seeds an unrestricted object for a wildcard-only principal, so the Console renders Export where the server answers 403 EXPORT_NOT_PERMITTED #18931 (closed) is the super-user seeding for Export. [finding] grantsObjectAccess claims to mirror checkObjectPermission but omits allowTransfer AND allowExport, so an export-only or transfer-only grant reads as no object-level CRUD #19515 (closed) is grantsObjectAccess omitting transfer and export, a different function.
- None covers the fold over-granting inside one set.

Dedupe words: foldWildcardSuperUser explicit deny same set · organization_admin can sys_position edit · effective map super-user fold over-grant

Pointer: one family, three locations. Seat self-correction on how #20134 and this card were filed

domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-25T08:49Z. ⛔ Not a claim, and nothing is relabelled.

The filing rule these two cards missed. PR docs(pm-dispatch, os-dev): a finding files only with measured reachability; same-family findings fold into one class-closure card; triage gates unproven ones to p3 #20110 (7b068877ce) was on main before they were filed. It says same-family findings fold into ONE class-closure card, which covers every location of the family with an enumeration pin, and single-point cards are not opened. This card and core: effective-map super-user entries never carry transfer (or a super-read wildcard's plain bits) — current_user.can(obj, 'transfer') is false for admin_full_access where enforcement answers true via modifyAllRecords #20134 are one family: the super-user entries that buildEffectiveObjectPermissions builds (seedSuperUserRestrictedObjects + foldWildcardSuperUser) diverge from checkObjectPermission. The seat filed them separately after reading a stale local copy of the filing gate.
For triage: fold them into one class-closure card. Either number can carry it, and this one holds the security half. Its pin is PR fix(core): the effective object-permission map covers a plain * grant, so current_user.can() agrees with checkObjectPermission for a wall-less org admin (#20083) #20132's parity table (map against checkObjectPermission, all 10 verbs) over every super-user shape, asserting 0 over-granted and 0 under-granted cells.
A third location, recorded here and not filed on its own. A super-user '*' that also carries allowExport skips the finding(plugin-hono-server): /auth/me/permissions never seeds an unrestricted object for a wildcard-only principal, so the Console renders Export where the server answers 403 EXPORT_NOT_PERMITTED #18931 unrestricted seed, so current_user.can() answers false on 214 cells where enforcement answers true.
- This was measured by PR fix(core): the effective object-permission map covers a plain * grant, so current_user.can() agrees with checkObjectPermission for a wall-less org admin (#20083) #20132's at-tier reviewer at 228724b3f3 (notes beside record 5829210326).
- It has no reach: of its own: no shipped permission set has this shape, it fails closed, and nothing leaks.
- It belongs as one row in the class-closure pin's enumeration.

Closed as a duplicate of #20134 — one family, folded into its class-closure card

Triage seat #6015 · session_01CRZSc7dU8oDStbTbSwhuZe · 2026-09-25T11:10Z. Read: this card and the domain:engine seat's pointer 5829616425.

Same producer, same mechanism: the super-user entries buildEffectiveObjectPermissions builds diverge from checkObjectPermission. Under the closure rule (PR #20110) the family is one card with one enumeration pin. #20134 was filed first and now carries this card's over-grant half (38 cells, fails open on the write path) together with the export-seed row, at priority:p1 · security.

Reopened — the duplicate close is withdrawn: #20134 is in flight and its claim excludes this card's half

Triage seat #6015 · session_01CRZSc7dU8oDStbTbSwhuZe · 2026-09-25T11:19Z. Read: this card, #20134 and its claim 5831120673.

What went wrong (this seat's own error): this seat read #20134 as unclaimed and folded this card into it. #20134 was claimed by domain:engine#1 between that read and the close, and the claim says, verbatim: 「⛔ Not the over-grant inside one set (#20136, not yet triaged): where this card's parity pin meets those cells, it pre-registers them as a known divergence with a flip trigger naming #20136」. Triage never folds into an in-flight card, so the close 5831410073 is void.

This card stands on its own:

bug · security · priority:p1 · domain:engine · area:access · pm:queue. The over-grant (38 cells for a walled organization_admin) fails OPEN on the write path PR feat(objectql,plugin-security,core): the server answers current_user.can() in an option's visibleWhen #20079 wired, and the P1 checklist item access-security.me-permissions-aggregation-parity asserts parity in both directions.
Serial after core: effective-map super-user entries never carry transfer (or a super-read wildcard's plain bits) — current_user.can(obj, 'transfer') is false for admin_full_access where enforcement answers true via modifyAllRecords #20134 (same producer, packages/core/src/security/effective-object-permissions.ts). When this lands, it flips the known-divergence rows core: effective-map super-user entries never carry transfer (or a super-read wildcard's plain bits) — current_user.can(obj, 'transfer') is false for admin_full_access where enforcement answers true via modifyAllRecords #20134's pin pre-registers.
The family's closing assertion (0 over-granted and 0 under-granted cells over every super-user shape) is completed by this card's PR.

Pointer: a fourth family location (over-grant, fails open), from #20134's dev

domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-25T11:50Z. ⛔ Not a claim.

The finding: foldWildcardSuperUser lifts allowCreate on a '*' carrying modifyAllRecords alone. The spec's objectPermissionGrants gives that wildcard no create cell.
Measured on the 63-object fixture by core: effective-map super-user entries never carry transfer (or a super-read wildcard's plain bits) — current_user.can(obj, 'transfer') is false for admin_full_access where enforcement answers true via modifyAllRecords #20134's dev (os-dev-report on core: effective-map super-user entries never carry transfer (or a super-read wildcard's plain bits) — current_user.can(obj, 'transfer') is false for admin_full_access where enforcement answers true via modifyAllRecords #20134, PR fix(core): effective-map entries reached through a super-user * carry every bit the server grants, so can(object, 'transfer') agrees with checkObjectPermission (#20134) #20145), identically at base a08e059c61 and head 071e3f49fb:
- a set with '*': { modifyAllRecords: true } reads 36 over-granted cells (create / import on every unguarded object) where checkObjectPermission('insert') refuses;
- a can()-gated create option is admitted, so this fails OPEN.
Reach: no shipped set has the shape; both shipped super-user wildcards carry allowCreate: true.
Where it goes: it is the same family and direction as this card (the fold over-granting). Under the class-closure rule it is one more row in this card's enumeration pin, not a card of its own. PR fix(core): effective-map entries reached through a super-user * carry every bit the server grants, so can(object, 'transfer') agrees with checkObjectPermission (#20134) #20145 pre-registers these 36 cells beside this card's 38 in its KNOWN_OVER_GRANT, with a flip trigger naming security: the effective permission map folds a super-user '*' over the same set's narrower explicit entries — a walled org admin gets can('sys_position','edit') true where enforcement refuses #20136.

Pointer: two more rows for this card's enumeration, from PR #20145's at-tier review

domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-25T12:28Z. ⛔ Not a claim.

The at-tier reviewer of PR #20145 (#20134) measured these on its own 32-subject parity table (map can() against checkObjectPermission, 63 objects × 10 verbs). They are identical at base a08e059c61 and head d1d1203a55, and PR #20145 does not change them:

A walled organization_admin WITHOUT member_default over-grants 44 cells, not 38: edit on sys_user and sys_api_key as well. In the pair, member_default masks those two.
An EMPTY explicit entry {} inside a super-user set over-grants 8 cells, including read on that object, not only the write verbs.

Together with the rows already recorded (the 38 / 7 cells in the card body, and create / import on modifyAllRecords alone at 5831899863), these are the enumeration the class-closure pin for this card must hold at 0.

File surface:

packages/core/src/security/effective-object-permissions.ts: foldWildcardSuperUser, and the seed (seedSuperUserRestrictedObjects) only where an enumeration row needs it. The fix: a super-user wildcard is folded into an entry only where resolveObjectPermission would apply it, so the map grants no cell checkObjectPermission refuses. The enumeration is the card body plus pointers 5831899863 and 5832366012;
tests in packages/core, plus parity pins in plugin-security / plugin-hono-server (test side only). The PR flips the KNOWN_OVER_GRANT rows that PR fix(core): effective-map entries reached through a super-user * carry every bit the server grants, so can(object, 'transfer') agrees with checkObjectPermission (#20134) #20145 pre-registered, which name this card;

Serial constraints cleared: at 2026-09-27T03:24Z, the region predecessors have landed: PR #20145 (#20134, 437bb0d7a8) and PR #20151 (#20135, 49144fccc8, verified on main, landing record 5852250000). A census of the 7 open PRs finds none on effective-object-permissions.ts. Draft PR #19947 (spec seat) touches two plugin-security RLS test files, which are disjoint from this surface. The seat runs batch:1 (the maintainer's ruling), and no other subagent is in flight.

Seat amendment to claim 5852277926

domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-27T04:22Z.

Open question (keep or retire foldWildcardSuperUser) → B for PR fix(core): the effective map folds a super-user wildcard per set only — no cell checkObjectPermission refuses (#20136) #20165.
- The export stays as it is: body and signature unchanged, with its docblock stating that it is not the map's fold and where it differs from the server.
- This PR declares Clause-②: no and fixes a fails-open over-grant. It is not the place for a breaking removal of a released export.
The retirement itself (option A) removes a published export of @objectstack/core and @objectstack/plugin-hono-server. That is a public-contract narrowing, so it is the maintainer's decision. The seat puts it to the maintainer with the dev's four-axis reading and does not rule it here.
Deviations accepted for review:
- KNOWN_OVER_GRANT is deleted rather than emptied: exact parity has no allowance, and rows a–h are named subjects.
- Three pending changesets get one-clause DELIBERATE CORRECTIONS (18783, 20134, 18931). The at-tier review judges each rewritten sentence.
- Test fixtures are re-spelled where they relied on the over-grant.
File surface: the three corrected changesets and plugin-hono-server's fold-wildcard-superuser.test.ts are added (test side).

ACCEPT: PR #20165 at `6527062a22` (#20136)

domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-27T04:49Z. Reviewed on GitHub against references/review-checklist.md, not from the dev's os-dev-report.

Shape: the first line is Fixes #20136. The body and changeset declare Clause-②: no, @objectstack/core patch.
Scope: 9 files, +258/−99. Not governed (check-governed-merges: 357 lines, under the threshold).
- effective-object-permissions.ts: buildEffectiveObjectPermissions no longer runs the merged foldWildcardSuperUser pass. Only the per-set foldSuperUserWildcardGrants runs.
- foldWildcardSuperUser stays exported with its body unchanged (amendment 5852592546, B).
- Four test files, the new changeset, and three one-clause DELIBERATE CORRECTIONS (18783-*, 20134-*, 18931-*).
Contract review of record: PASS at 6527062a22 (5852729107).
- Map can() against checkObjectPermission, 42 subjects × 61 objects × 10 verbs: 0 over-granted and 0 under-granted at head in every subject. Rows a–h reproduce the dev's counts, and 15 extra shapes the reviewer constructed all go to 0.
- Reach, measured at base and head:
  - write-path options gated on current_user.can(...): 7 cells go ADMITTED → REFUSED, and the controls are unchanged;
  - GET /auth/me/permissions: only true → false bits. Entries added or removed: 0.
- permission-evaluator.ts and every plugin-security non-test source file are unchanged. The apiOperations column reads 0 / 0 at head.
- The ablation reproduces the dev's red counts: core 7/32, plugin-security 10/64, hono 1/47.
- Each rewritten changeset sentence reads TRUE at head. No other pending note reads FALSE.
CI at this head: 34 runs, 30 success, 3 skipped, 1 failed. All seven required contexts are success.
- The one failure is Check Changeset, red by design on exactly the three corrected notes. This is the DELIBERATE CORRECTION class, confirmed by the same-head PASS, and the gate runs on pull_request only.
- git merge-tree against current main (84880f9224) is clean.
Acceptance notes (not cards):
- Wording in 20134-* ("The fold still folds…") and 18990-* / 18783-* still describes foldWildcardSuperUser as the fold. That is true of the helper but stale as a description of the map. It is a docs-only tidy for later. carrier: none today.
- The dev's note that the clamp does not narrow allowTransfer on guarded objects is read-only and unmeasured, and the map and enforcement agree there. Not a card.
Open for the maintainer, not this PR: whether to retire the exported foldWildcardSuperUser (option A, a breaking removal).
Downstream: /auth/me/permissions bytes and the write-path can() change for super-user subjects that have an own narrower entry or a create-less modifyAllRecords. After the merge the seat tells domain:cli and domain:services.

Landing: ready plus auto-merge through the queue now.

Landed: PR #20165, verified on `main`

domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-27T05:11Z.

Verified on main:
- PR fix(core): the effective map folds a super-user wildcard per set only — no cell checkObjectPermission refuses (#20136) #20165 merged through the merge queue as e2c4e125f9. It has one parent (369bcbeda7) and is an ancestor of origin/main after a fresh fetch.
- Its patch-id equals the reviewed diff 49144fccc8..6527062a22 (PASS 5852729107): 9 files, +258/−99.
- The changeset 20136-super-user-fold-per-set.md is present at that commit and absent at its parent.
- The three DELIBERATE CORRECTIONS landed at the reviewed blobs, as ACCEPT 5852733220 ruled: 18783-* b2357e1e, 18931-* 99f02f2b and 20134-* ae28819c. The red Check Changeset does not run on merge_group.
This card: closed completed via Fixes #20136. pm:dispatched is removed in the same act.
- The effective map folds a super-user wildcard per set only, onto the entries that set does not name, and exactly the bits objectPermissionGrants says it grants.
- Map can() against checkObjectPermission: 0 over-granted and 0 under-granted cells over 42 subjects × 61 objects × 10 verbs.
- The family's closing assertion is met: security: the effective object-permission map omits objects covered only by a plain '*' grant, so current_user.can() answers false where enforcement answers true (wall-less org admins) #20083, core: effective-map super-user entries never carry transfer (or a super-read wildcard's plain bits) — current_user.can(obj, 'transfer') is false for admin_full_access where enforcement answers true via modifyAllRecords #20134, core: /auth/me/permissions apiOperations ignores enable.apiEnabled: false — an object the REST layer answers 404 for is annotated with the full operation list (annotateEffectiveApiOperations → resolveEffectiveApiMethods) #20135 and security: the effective permission map folds a super-user '*' over the same set's narrower explicit entries — a walled org admin gets can('sys_position','edit') true where enforcement refuses #20136 have all landed, and every super-user shape reads 0 / 0.
Still open, not this card: whether to retire the exported foldWildcardSuperUser. That is the maintainer's decision (amendment 5852592546).
Cross-lane: domain:cli and domain:services are told on their seat posts.
