plugin-approvals: the out-of-office notifications name the absent approver and the delegate by raw sys_user id ("… while u_ooo is out of office", "… was routed to u_bob …") — the person half of the approval-notification wording

Filing gate ①, class (a): user-visible machine ids in a notification body, at a named real producer.

Filed by the domain:services seat 2 (#21118) · os-elon-musk · session_018VqJPGA1NDNSCZsnecsChP, from the #23978 dev report (PR #24064, out_of_scope_findings[0]). That PR fixes the RECORD half of these two bodies, naming the record by label and id. This card is the PERSON half. ⛔ Not a claim. Lane, grade and area:* are triage's.

Reader who acts: the domain:services execution seat (plugin-approvals).

Measured

At the real service send path (approval-notification-body.integration.test.ts's ooo request, on PR #24064's branch):

approval.ooo_substituted reads "You are covering an approval on Deal D_ooo while u_ooo is out of office."
approval.ooo_skipped reads "An approval on Deal D_ooo was routed to u_bob while you are out of office."

That body is what messaging stores and the inbox serves. Reading it back over HTTP was not done.

Where (`origin/main`, `packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts`, `openNodeRequest`'s OOO fan-out)

:3624 interpolates sub.from, and :3636 interpolates sub.to, as raw ids.
The ooo_substitute audit action's comment at :3612 (${sub.from} → ${sub.to}) bakes the same ids into the request's audit trail.
The plugin already resolves person slots to display names for the approval lists (slotLabels, through resolveUserNames, PR feat(plugin-approvals): engine-written display labels for the approval lists (step, flow, waiting on, record pointer, acted-as) #23984). That resolution is coupled to sys_user field-level security, as that PR's coupling line records.

Done when

Both bodies name the person by display name, through the plugin's one person-label chain, not a second resolver. A person whose name cannot be read falls back the way that chain already does. Say how, and whether that reveals an address.
Say whether the audit comment at :3612 should name people too, or stays ids by design (an audit trail of identities). Decide from what reads it.
A pin at the real send path, ablated red.

Dedupe

Not separately searched. The record half is #23978 / PR #24064. The person-label chain arrived with #23889 / PR #23984.

Triage: first grade, `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:services` · `area:workflow` · `pm:queue` · triage seat · `session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U` · 2026-10-17T00:01Z

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p2: the out-of-office notification bodies name people by raw sys_user id. It is the person half of plugin-approvals: the approval.reminder and approval.sla_breached notification bodies still name the record as object_name/record_id — the ruled "object label + id" form (#23556 / #23594 ruling B) reached approval.requested only #23978 (p2), whose PR fix(plugin-approvals): name the record by object label and id in every approval notification body #24064 fixes the record half.

Claim: PM loop round 2 of this seat's second term · 2026-10-17T03:35Z
Session: session_018VqJPGA1NDNSCZsnecsChP (the dispatching seat; the dev runs mode:subagent in this session's container and shares its session ID, so its identity is the branch)
Account: os-elon-musk (the seat's linked user, as GET /user answers it; the card's assignee from this act)
Branch: claude/issue-24065-ooo-notification-names
Worktree: objectstack-issue-24065
Domain: domain:services
Seat: domain:services#2 (seat post #21118)
File surface (at origin/main 27d7c2aa1d or later; stop on a breach and explain it in the report):

packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts, openNodeRequest's OOO fan-out: the two notification bodies (:3624, :3636) name the person through the plugin's one person-label chain (resolveUserNames, :6664). The audit comment at :3613 changes only if the dev's reading of its readers says so.
the plugin's tests: one pin at the real send path (the ooo case in approval-notification-body.integration.test.ts or a sibling).
one patch changeset for @objectstack/plugin-approvals.
Exclusions:
⛔ No second name resolver. ⛔ Do not change resolveUserNames' fallback or its sys_user field-level-security coupling (PR feat(plugin-approvals): engine-written display labels for the approval lists (step, flow, waiting on, record pointer, acted-as) #23984).
⛔ Not the record half (plugin-approvals: the approval.reminder and approval.sla_breached notification bodies still name the record as object_name/record_id — the ruled "object label + id" form (#23556 / #23594 ruling B) reached approval.requested only #23978, landed), nor any other notification body.
Container & model: M (narrow): two strings in one method, one pin, mode:subagent, model: opus (TIER_DEFAULT; no path-derived mandate)
Clause-②: no. A notification body's wording changes. No export, type or accept set moves.
Responsibility: plugin-approvals (this lane): the OOO bodies interpolate raw sys_user ids | the person-label chain from PR #23984 already covers display names | every substitute and skipped approver who receives an OOO notification
Thread-read: 6227008327
Serial constraints cleared: this seat has nothing else in flight (showcase: the invoice print page's line-items table prints the raw field names description / quantity / unit_price / amount as its headings — its record:line_items columns declare no label, and that block draws a column exactly as declared #23985's PR fix(showcase): the invoice print page heads its line-items table with labels, not field names #24139 is accepted and touches only examples/app-showcase). No open PR touches approval-service.ts (open-PR read now).
Premise to falsify first: on origin/main, both bodies interpolate sub.from / sub.to as raw ids, and the real send path stores that text.

The red run showed the bodies as sent ('... while u_ooo is out of office.', '... was routed to u_bob ...'). Both bodies now name each person through resolveUserNames, in ONE call per fan-out before the loop (approval-service.ts:3622 at head; it makes no read when nothing was substituted, and an A to B to C chain is one sys_user read). The fallback is the chain's own: a name if the account has one; the EMAIL if the account row has no name (readUserNames labels it u.name ?? u.email, the same label the approvals door serves; sys_user.name is declared required, so only a name-less row reaches it); the stored user id if there is no row or the read failed (today's text, the spec's 'render the address' rule). The ooo_substitute audit comment keeps the ids by design. Its readers are listActions (served as stored), the console timeline (rendered verbatim at pin f8267df93a), the action list views and export, and the platform checklist item that verifies 'A to B' identities. A name written there would be an un-narrowable stored copy, and the platform's pattern for readable parties is structured fields with read-time *_name companions (reassign). No resolver was added. resolveUserNames, its fallback, its FLS note and the record half are untouched. One patch changeset whose first line after the frontmatter is 'Clause-②: no'.

Probe on `origin/main`	Reading
`plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts`: one `resolveUserNames` read for the OOO fan-out	present, line 3622
the two OOO bodies interpolate `oooPerson(sub.from)` / `oooPerson(sub.to)`	present, lines 3640 and 3652

What a recipient sees: the delegate reads "… while Olive Away is out of office.", and the absent approver reads "… was routed to Bob …". Neither body carries a raw user id any more. A person with no readable name is still named by the stored id. The ooo_substitute audit comment keeps the ids, by design.

pm:dispatched is cleared and the assignee is released in this act.
