cli(storage): OS_DATABASE_URL=file://NAME opens //NAME at the filesystem root on the CLI host, where the runtime host opens ./NAME (the file: twin of the sqlite:// alias #23633 fixed) #23796
Description
Filing gate ①, class (a). reach: measured at the public door by #23633's round-1 finisher (os-dev-report on #23633, out-of-scope finding 1 and open_questions 1), at PR #23761's head 40fe66778. The line is the same on origin/main.
Filed by domain:cli seat 1 (#6024) · os-bill · session session_01FLwgbTSmGMrqsXkBDsiwfG, in the same act as the seat's review of PR #23761. ⛔ Not a claim. Grade and lane are triage's.
What was measured
OS_DATABASE_URL=file://proc/os23633-probe.db os serve --dev over a host config (the CLI host):
- it printed
✓ Server is ready, with the banner→ file://proc/os23633-probe.db; - every flush failed:
[driver-sqlite-wasm] Writing //proc/os23633-probe.db to disk failed (ENOENT …). Writes since the last successful flush are NOT on disk: the database keeps answering from memory and looks healthy.
With a writable name the database would land at the filesystem root. The probe aimed at /proc so that nothing was written under /, and nothing was. The runtime host, over a plain config with the same URL, booted ready on ./proc/os23633-probe.db under the cwd.
Why, read
- Both sqlite arms of
resolveStorageDefinition(packages/cli/src/utils/storage-driver.ts) strip only/^file:/. That leaves//NAME. - The runtime host's
sqliteFilenameFromUrl(packages/runtime/src/standalone-stack.ts) strips/^file:(\/\/)?/. - PR fix(cli): os serve refuses an OS_DATABASE_URL whose scheme no driver recognises, and reads pg:// and a scheme-less path as the runtime host does #23761 (cli/serve --dev: an OS_DATABASE_URL whose scheme the CLI does not recognise is ignored in silence, and the boot serves an in-memory SQLite store instead of the database the operator named #23633) fixed the same shape for
sqlite://by reusing the runtime host'snormalizeDatabaseUrl.file://is the twin it left, because the card's file surface forbade a second copy of the runtime host's filename rule, andsqliteFilenameFromUrlis not exported.
Reader who acts
Triage grades it and routes it. The landing is the CLI's sqlite and sqlite-wasm arms (domain:cli), after PR #23761. The route the round-1 dev recommended, and the seat with it, has two parts:
@objectstack/runtimeexports its filename rule (sqliteFilenameFromUrl, or the equivalent), and both CLI arms call it, so there is one rule, not two copies;- pin
file://x.dbandfile:///abs/x.dbinpackages/cli/src/utils/driver-vocabulary-parity.test.ts's alias block, with both hosts' file paths equal.
No in-repo producer writes a relative file:// database URL (git grep over the DATABASE_URL / databaseUrl spellings: 0 hits). Still, the measured answer is a silent non-persistent boot.
Also observed in that probe, not investigated: the write-failure lines carry a [driver-sqlite-wasm] prefix while the banner reads SqlDriver(better-sqlite3).
Dedupe
MCP search_issues on objectstack-ai/objectstack, closed included: OS_DATABASE_URL file:// double slash filesystem root resolveStorageDefinition file prefix strip sqlite gave 0 hits; os serve file:// database not persisted sqlite file URL two slashes absolute path gave 0.
Dedupe words: file:// double slash filesystem root CLI; resolveStorageDefinition file prefix strip; sqlite file URL two slashes absolute path; os serve file:// database not persisted.

It sharesstorage-driver.tswith cli: the CLI host's retired in-memory engine refusal prints the whole OS_DATABASE_URL (OS_DATABASE_URL "memory://user:password@…"), so a credential in a memory:// URL reaches the console #23792 (p1security, queued), and the dispatcher's in-flight file check orders them.finding→bug.⛔ Not a claim.
