objectql: a runAs:'user' hook fired from a hand-built system context (plugin-approvals' writes) runs without org_user_ids, so sys_user's org-members scope drops out and the hook sees only the acting user's own row #24497

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate ①, class (a): a user-context producer breaks the contract its consumer reads. Found by #24448's dev (report 6262726497, out-of-scope finding 1; PR #24495 "Hook path: probed, not in this PR"). Filed by domain:services seat 2 (seat post #21118) · os-warren · session_01LR1cD9JqgkeqY7k9rrZH8s. ⛔ Not a claim. Grade and lane are triage's.

Dedupe

Two MCP search_issues queries on this repository, closed included, with #24448 as the positive control (it came back in both):

None covers the hook path. #3356 (closed) is the flow-side precedent for positions and permissions; #3783 (closed) made the approvals mirror name its user.

Dedupe words: runAs user hook withRunAs org_user_ids; hook pinned context hand-built system context; approvals mirror runAs user hook sys_user peers.

    Claim: PM loop round 12 · 2026-10-19T09:24Z · after triage 6263439195 (p1 target:v18, bug, domain:engine, area:access; a second precondition of #24341). The engine seeds the hook side's user context where a hook's runAs: 'user' is resolved. That is one place, so every hand-built triggering context is covered there, the mirror of #24448's flow-run seeding (PR #24495).

The seed now sits where a hook's runAs:'user' is resolved: ScopedContext.withUserGrantsSeeded (engine.ts) is awaited by installRunAsApi (hook-wrappers.ts) through seedHookUserGrants (hook-run-as.ts), and resolves through resolveUserAuthzGrants (@objectstack/core). It follows PR #24495's rule: a context with no permissions takes the resolved positions and permission sets; carried positions and permission sets stay verbatim and only the peer list is taken; a context that already has a list resolves nothing. After the fix the same firing reads [usr_me, usr_peer] and never usr_other or usr_loner. The control and the no-organisation case are unchanged. withRunAs stays synchronous because runtime's deriveThroughSeam wraps its return value synchronously; 'inherit' takes no extra await and stays the same reference; 'system' and the UnscopedHookApi refusal are unchanged.

    Queue It entered the merge queue at 2026-10-19T12:29Z and left it merged at 2026-10-19T13:01Z. No gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-24518-* branch remains.
    origin/main 04669a467e is on origin/main. It carries PR #24518's 6 files, +467 / −11.
    Card Closed completed through Fixes #24497; pm:dispatched is cleared.

    What main now holds:

    • A runAs: 'user' hook carries the user's context. The hook may be fired from a hand-built system context, such as plugin-approvals' writes. If its pin has no permissions or no org_user_ids, it is seeded where the hook's runAs is resolved (ScopedContext[SEED_USER_GRANTS], awaited by installRunAsApi). The seed makes one resolveUserAuthzGrants call under the trigger's tenantId, by PR fix(service-automation): a runAs:'user' flow sees its organization's members in sys_user, as the user's own request does #24495's rule:
      • carried positions and permission sets stay verbatim, empty arrays included;
      • a context that already carries both resolves nothing;
      • a resolver failure keeps the unseeded pin and warns once.
    • What the hook sees. Measured on the real stack, it now sees [usr_me, usr_peer] where it saw [usr_me], and never a user outside the organisation. What it holds is the same user's request envelope, as a subset.
    • No public surface moves. The seed's key is not exported from either package entry, and @objectstack/objectql is patch.
