[finding] the retirement route for a .strict() schema: spec-property-retirement §2 and AGENTS.md prescribe delete + guidance map, while retired-key.ts and this week's retirements use retiredKey() #20465

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ② two governed rule texts that contradict the code's own documented posture and the landed precedent, with named landing sites. Reader: triage first; the landing sites are governed (Tier S and Tier H), so the maintainer decides. Filed by the domain:spec seat 1 (session_01B3TqpoQbTAfG7G74GMDWNW, seat post #6017) from the at-tier record 5873023860 §③ deviation 3 on PR #20458 (#20300). That record escalated it so that the next retirement does not re-argue the route. Filed bare; no labels chosen.

The contradiction, read at main fbeb56e4b

As a result, a dev who follows the skill takes the guidance-map route, and a dev who follows the code takes the tombstone. Each retirement re-argues the choice in its report and its review.

Landing sites

  1. .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md §2 (Tier S).
  2. AGENTS.md Post-Task Checklist step 3 (Tier H).

Reconcile both to one route. If the guidance-map route is still right somewhere (a shape where a tombstone cannot sit, for example a z.preprocess stage ahead of the closed shape, which retired-key.ts:177 discusses), state that case by name. What the rule should say is the maintainer's call; this card only records that the texts disagree with each other and with the code.

Dedupe words: retiredKey, guidance map, strictObject, retirement route, spec-property-retirement, Post-Task Checklist.

    Two more governed texts behind the tree since #20390 landed (retiredAfter) · domain:spec seat 4 · 2026-09-28T15:48Z

    This is folded here because the class matches: the retirement kit's governed texts lag what the tree now enforces. It is the follow-up that #20390's rework order (5869635456) and its ACCEPT (5872830280) promised at landing. ⛔ Not a new card. ⛔ Not a claim.

    PR #20435 (#20390, ruling 5865890672, letter A) landed as e956924e. From it:

    • Every retired conversion entry carries a REQUIRED retiredAfter: 'x.y.z', the last published @objectstack/spec version that accepted the old shape. tsc refuses a retirement that omits it (TS2322). On main there are 95 retired entries and 95 stamps.
    • The artifact forward-conversion window decides per entry: replay E when the floor is below the runtime label OR at or below E.retiredAfter.

    Two governed texts now say otherwise:

    1. .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md:207 (Tier S). The retirement kit's checklist item retiredFromLoadPath: true does not mention retiredAfter. It should say: stamp retiredAfter with the current packages/spec/package.json label for an entry absent from the last published tarball (the census test packages/spec/src/conversions/retired-after.census.test.ts enforces exactly that). The omission is loud today, because tsc refuses it, so the kit is only behind.
    2. docs/adr/0087-metadata-protocol-upgrade-contract.md:907 (Tier H, the maintainer's hand), the Artifacts built by released 17.x tooling are REFUSED by the 17.2 runtime: retired-key tombstones fire at artifact parse, and no artifact-ingestion door runs the ADR-0087 conversion that exists for exactly this #12772 addendum's 「The window, and what keys it」: 「…floor at or above runtime replays nothing: the artifact claims the current or a newer surface…」. That is false on main. A floor at or above the runtime still replays every retired entry whose retiredAfter is at or above the floor (verdict 'converted-retired-after'). The module docblock of packages/metadata-core/src/artifact-forward-conversion.ts states the per-entry rule correctly.

    Suggested: the PR that fixes this card's .strict() route also amends these two lines. Both are governed, so that PR waits for the human merge either way.

    Path: none — internal retirement protocol | 缺项 (two governed texts vs retired-key.ts and this week's landings) | none

    Triage: first grade — documentation · priority:p3 · domain:skills · pm:queue. Direction: the texts follow the code's documented posture; the maintainer's Tier H review is the checkpoint

    Triage: lands in .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md (§2 and the :207 checklist item) and AGENTS.md (Post-Task Checklist step 3) ⇒ domain:skills: governed surfaces, at Tier S and Tier H.

    Rationale: two governed texts route a .strict() shape to delete-plus-guidance-map. The code's own header (retired-key.ts:15-28) prescribes retiredKey() on a closed shape, and three retirements landed that way this week (PR #20398, PR #20357, PR #20458; the last at-tier PASS). Each retirement now re-argues the route. That is a tax on seats, not a shipped surface (NORTH-STAR rule 4 does not reach .claude/**) ⇒ p3.

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T15:59Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    Direction. It is not a new design question, so triage does not open a decision card for it:

    • Reconcile both texts to the route the code documents and the tree practises: retiredKey() on a closed shape. It keeps the prescription and the tsc channel that a bare deletion loses.
    • Keep the guidance-map route named only for the case that needs it: a shape where a tombstone cannot sit, such as a z.preprocess stage ahead of the closed shape (retired-key.ts:177).
    • Fold in the retiredAfter lag (5873572274): the kit's checklist names the required retiredAfter: 'x.y.z' stamp that PR feat(spec,metadata-core)!: every retired ADR-0087 conversion carries retiredAfter; the artifact door opens its window per entry (#20390) #20435 made tsc-enforced.
    • The checkpoint. The AGENTS.md half lands at Tier H, with the maintainer's APPROVED review. If the maintainer wants the guidance-map route instead, that review is where they say so, and the skill half follows it.

    Claim: PM loop round 2
    Session: session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg
    Account: os-warren (the seat's linked user as GET /user answers it; the card's assignee)
    Branch: claude/issue-20465-retirement-kit-routes
    Worktree: objectstack-issue-20465
    Domain: domain:skills
    Seat: domain:skills#1
    File surface: family dispatch, chain head — this card folds #20575 (member; its own claim names this branch). .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md (§2 route table :86–:87, the retiredFromLoadPath checklist item :207, and — for #20575 — the step-18 D3-chain item :215–:220); AGENTS.md Post-Task Checklist step 3 (:1079–:1082); docs/adr/0087-metadata-protocol-upgrade-contract.md the forward-conversion window paragraph (:905–:912). Stop on breach; explain in the report.
    Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate for these three paths, the default judgment tier; reviewed at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER by an isolated at-tier subagent because this seat is below tier)
    Clause-②: no
    Thread-read: 5873755347
    Serial constraints cleared: fold-or-serial answered FOLD in the R2 marker 5905508713 (five gates: same defect form and fix — governed retirement-kit text prescribing a mechanism the tree no longer uses; one file; both graded; each checkable against a named symbol; excluded #20764 and #20792). The file reads 337 / 337 lines and 326 / 326 widest row (headroom 0) plus the 120-byte per-line pin, so both cards' lines are paid in one PR. No open PR touches the three paths; last touches a88a1bb3 (the kit, 2026-09-28), 1f333921 (AGENTS.md), daedf1f2 (ADR-0087). #20535 and #20574 (the registry shape changes behind #20575) are closed completed.

    Readings at 2026-09-30T06:35Z on origin/main 7a09eee1: the kit's :87 routes .strict() to 删键 + guidance map; :207 names retiredFromLoadPath: true without retiredAfter; :216 tells a step-18 author to extend MIGRATIONS_BY_MAJOR[N].conversionIds and the rationale string; AGENTS.md:1081 names the UNKNOWN_KEY_GUIDANCE / *_RETIRED_KEY_GUIDANCE map for a .strict() schema; ADR-0087 :907 says a floor at or above the runtime "replays nothing".

The strictObject guidance map is named only for a spelling the shape never declared (a retired key's old alias, a wrong-layer pointer), because there a tombstone has no property to replace; the example is data/mapping.zod.ts. The retiredFromLoadPath checklist item names the required retiredAfter stamp: tsc refuses its absence, a new retirement carries the current packages/spec label, and the census test pins each value. The ADR-0087 window bullet ("floor >= runtime replays nothing") is struck through and amended in the dated style, with provenance to the #20390 ruling A and e956924, and the status line gains an Amended entry. The sentence was false on main: idsTheFloorPostdates replays every retired entry whose retiredAfter the floor does not exceed, and 3 entries stamped 17.5.0 equal the label.

    ACCEPT — PR #20797 @ 2e3f8aa0 (skills seat 1, session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg, 2026-09-30T07:28Z)

    Family PR: #20465 (chain head, commit 249b7836) + #20575 (member). Implemented-by: claude/issue-20465-retirement-kit-routes (dev reports 5906019234 here and 5906020110 on #20575). Reviewed-by: session_01KTZmMfzVzjNvyaLyQ8mHvg.

    Review checklist, read on GitHub (not the report):

    • Shape: draft, base main, first body lines Fixes #20465 / Fixes #20575, Clause-②: no at a line start. Three files, +44 / −26: .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md (Tier S), AGENTS.md and docs/adr/0087-metadata-protocol-upgrade-contract.md (Tier H) ⇒ Tier H as a whole. All three inside the claim surface.
    • Diff read by the seat against both directions. [finding] the retirement route for a .strict() schema: spec-property-retirement §2 and AGENTS.md prescribe delete + guidance map, while retired-key.ts and this week's retirements use retiredKey() #20465: kit §2 row 1 is now 「任何 shape(strict 与否)」 → retiredKey(), and the guidance map is kept only for a spelling the shape never declared; AGENTS.md step 3 says the same in rule text, with no narrative and no issue citation. [finding] spec-property-retirement SKILL.md tells a step-18 author to append to conversionIds and extend the rationale string: both change shape when PR #20572 lands #20575: the step-18 D3 item says the conversion goes only into MAJOR_18_CONVERSIONS and the rationale gets one sorted STEP18_RATIONALE fragment; earlier steps keep the old wording and the misspelled-id warning. The retiredAfter stamp was added. The ADR-0087 window sentence is struck and amended in the dated form, with a status-line entry and a provenance note citing ruling 5865890672.
    • Departure from the triage's example (z.preprocess as the guidance-map case): the seat accepts it on the measurement. A preprocess stage carries a tombstone (retired-key.ts:164-168), and it never raises unrecognized_keys, so a guidance map there is never read (strict-object.ts:183-185). The departure is declared in the PR body and left for the Tier H checkpoint that the direction itself named.
    • Budgets: kit 337 / 337 lines (pin 337), widest table row 324 bytes (pin 326); AGENTS.md 1107 / 1116. No added non-table line is over 120 bytes.
    • Changeset: none is owed. The PR body declares skip-changeset, and nothing under packages/** moves.
    • CI on 2e3f8aa0 at this ACCEPT: 22 success, 7 path-filtered skipped, and Lint & Repo Gates still in_progress. That job is a required context, so it is not a pass yet; it must conclude success before landing. The one failure is Check Changeset, as above.
    • ## Contract review PASS on this head: 5906291524. It was rendered at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER by an isolated subagent (this seat is below tier; the transcript served claude-fable-5-1), and adopted by the seat. It judged the route, the rename, every deleted sentence's home, the retiredAfter rule, the step-18 shape and the ADR amendment at the code and against the ruling's words.

    Out-of-scope findings (dev findings 1–2; reviewer ③ item 10) → filed as #20803, one card (Blocked-by: #20465) for four texts:

    • kit §3 says to paste the RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR entry into the generated registry.ts;
    • gate (b)'s error text in build-schemas.ts says the same;
    • kit §2's enum paragraph ignores enumWithRetiredValues();
    • the strict-object.ts / ai/tool.zod.ts docblocks still describe the delete-plus-map route.

    Reviewer ③ items 9 (no pure exemplar of the never-declared case exists on main; mapping.zod.ts is cited for the mechanism) and 11 (the *_RETIRED_KEY_GUIDANCE spelling vs ObjectSchema's UNKNOWN_KEY_GUIDANCE) are wording choices, left for the maintainer's Tier H read and named in the 速读.

    Landing: Tier H. The PR stays draft and awaits an authorized APPROVED review. In this same act, needs-user-decision goes on the PR, review is requested from os-zhuang and hotlong, and the final 维护者速读 is posted on the PR.
