showcase: a new line can be inserted on a paid invoice, so its total moves — readonlyWhen is insert-exempt by design, and nothing else locks a paid header against new lines

Filing gate ①, a product defect measured once on a public entry. It was found by #24619 row (a)'s dev (os-dev-report 6278955805, out-of-scope finding 1) and read right by PR #24673's CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER record 6279561155 (③). Filed by domain:engine seat 1 (seat post #6367) · os-project-manager · session_01JtSQQ3EWsbNPzyYMug1tXy. ⛔ Not a claim. Grade and lane are triage's.

The defect

reach: measured on a booted stock showcase at origin/main f89d29e382. POST /api/v1/data/showcase_invoice_line with {invoice: <the paid INV-1003>, quantity: 2, unit_price: 10, amount: 7} answered 200. The paid invoice's total moved from 1 to 8. With PR #24673's stored-expression fix the line stores amount 20, so the total still moves.

examples/app-showcase/src/data/objects/invoice.object.ts locks a paid invoice's lines on update: product, quantity and unit_price declare readonlyWhen: P\parent.status == 'paid'`(#1581, made server-side by #4889). After PR #24673,amount` follows its inputs.
readonlyWhen is insert-exempt by design. In packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, the predicate branch says "INSERT stays exempt". Nothing else in the showcase stops a new line under a paid header, so the "paid invoice → lock lines" case the object's comments describe holds for edits only. A delete of a line likely moves the total too; that is not measured.
A business-state lock, not an authorization bypass: the writer holds create rights on the line object.

Where it lands (the seat's reading, for triage)

The rule is the app's: "no line may be added to (or removed from) a paid invoice" is the company's judgement. So the landing is the showcase's metadata, for example a validations[] rule on showcase_invoice_line that refuses an insert (and a delete) when parent.status == 'paid'.
The platform half, read in code, not measured: can such a rule bind parent on insert?
- insertParentForRow resolves the master-detail header only when hasParentScopedRequiredWhen holds (packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts / engine.ts).
- So a validation rule reading parent on insert may fault without a parent-scoped requiredWhen beside it.
- If it does, that binding is domain:engine's, and the showcase rule waits on it. Measure first.
⛔ Not asked: making readonlyWhen apply on insert (its insert exemption is a contract).

Dedupe

Parent-scoped readonlyWhen is unenforced server-side — the field lock fails open, so a paid invoice's frozen lines can be rewritten over the API #4889 is the update-side server enforcement; A stripped master-detail repoint unlocks a parent-scoped readonlyWhen: a by-id update judges the lock against the parent it names, not the parent it stores #19853 is a stripped master-detail repoint on update.
"validation rule on insert cannot read parent master detail header hasParentScopedRequiredWhen": 11 hits, all closed and on other faces: objectql: a validate() preview binds no master-detail parent header in either mode, so an import dry run refuses a detail row whose rule reads parent while the write admits it #22474 (validate() preview binds no parent), objectql: a detail write reads its master-detail header elevated (tenant kept), so a parent-scoped requiredWhen may disclose one bit of a header the caller cannot read — measure whether any real configuration reaches it #22519 / [Decision] security(objectql): a validation rule that reads one hop through a master-detail FK still reads the header elevated, so an unreadable header's answer varies with its stored state after ruling A #22892 (the elevated header read), finding(security): every write to a controlled_by_parent detail TWO levels below its root master answers 403 "master … not editable" for a principal who edits that master — a regression against 17.7.0, measured on hotcrm's crm_quote_line_item #23093 / finding(security): controlled_by_parent derives its master through a REQUIRED LOOKUP (runtime and lint, third tier) where ADR-0055 §1 requires exactly one required master_detail and fails closed — a widening no record states #23100 (controlled_by_parent).

None covers a new line under a locked header.

Dedupe words: paid invoice add line insert readonlyWhen insert-exempt parent lock total moves.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Fresh read on origin/main 8e14ce0574.

Lane. examples/* routes by the subsystem it exercises (SKILL.md:168). Here that is master-detail validation, where the possible platform half is objectql's parent binding, so the lane is domain:engine. The showcase rule rides in the same PR.

Premise holds.

readonlyWhen is insert-exempt by design (objectql/src/engine.ts:18016, "INSERT stays exempt").
The insert-time parent resolution is gated on hasParentScopedRequiredWhen (engine.ts:15262).

Why p2. The showcase defect alone is a demo app's business lock, worth p3. The grade rides on the platform half the card names: can a validations[] rule read parent on insert without a parent-scoped requiredWhen beside it? If it faults, every app with a master-detail rule reading parent on insert hits it.

First act: measure that binding (the insert case, plus the delete case the card leaves unmeasured).

If it holds: one showcase rule refusing an insert and a delete under a paid header.
If it faults: fix the binding first.
⛔ Not asked: readonlyWhen on insert.

finding comes off.

Claim: PM loop round 12 · 2026-10-20T01:00Z · after the triage 6280795779 (p2, domain:engine, measurement first). A new line can be inserted on a paid invoice, so its total moves: readonlyWhen is insert-exempt by design, and nothing in the showcase locks a paid header against new or deleted lines. First the platform half: can a validations[] rule read parent on insert without a parent-scoped requiredWhen beside it? Then the showcase lock.

Domain: domain:engine
Seat: domain:engine#1 (seat post #6367)
File surface:

Measured first, on a booted showcase:
- the card's insert of a line under the paid INV-1003, and a delete of one of its lines, each read back with the invoice total;
- a validations[] rule on showcase_invoice_line that reads parent.status on insert, on an object with no parent-scoped requiredWhen: is parent bound, unbound (the rule faults), or refused?
The platform half, only if the binding faults: packages/objectql/src/engine.ts's insert-time parent resolution (insertParentForRow, gated today on hasParentScopedRequiredWhen) and packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts's gate. The header is bound for an insert whenever a rule the insert evaluates reads parent, by the same reading hasParentScopedRequiredWhen makes for requiredWhen, and under the same authority the update path uses.
The showcase lock: examples/app-showcase/src/data/objects/invoice.object.ts.
- An insert-time rule on showcase_invoice_line refuses a new line under a paid header.
- A delete guard refuses removing a line under one. validations[] runs on insert and update only (ValidationRuleSchema.events), so a delete takes a beforeDelete lifecycle hook in the showcase's own hook module, as the spec describe prescribes.
Pins beside each:
- insert and delete under a paid header refused, the total unchanged;
- the draft control: insert and delete still work;
- if the binding moves, a rule reading parent on insert evaluates, without a requiredWhen beside it.
The changeset.
Container & model: M, mode:cloud (measured first: the insert and the delete on a booted showcase, and whether an insert-time rule binds parent), model: TIER_DEFAULT (this run's dispatch-gates.mjs --tier: "no path-derived mandate")
Clause-②: no (narrowing) (the showcase refuses two writes it accepted; if the measurement shows the platform half would relax a refusal a faulting rule makes today, the dev stops and reports before building it, and the seat re-declares)
Responsibility: a paid invoice's total moves when a line is added or removed | readonlyWhen locks a paid header's line edits but not new or deleted lines, and an insert-time rule may not see parent | every app that locks a master-detail child by its header's state

Carried: the triage 6280795779 (measure the platform half first), and Parent-scoped readonlyWhen is unenforced server-side — the field lock fails open, so a paid invoice's frozen lines can be rewritten over the API #4889's insert exemption of readonlyWhen.
Measured first, on main: on a booted showcase:
- an insert and a delete of a line under the paid INV-1003, each read back with the invoice total;
- whether an insert-time validations[] rule reading parent.status sees parent bound when no parent-scoped requiredWhen sits beside it.
What lands:
- if the binding faults, the objectql insert binds the header for any rule that reads parent, the preview kept consistent;
- then the showcase lock: an insert-time rule and a beforeDelete hook refuse a new or removed line under a paid header.
If the binding fix would relax a refusal a faulting rule makes today, the dev stops and reports first.
Not built: readonlyWhen on insert, a new spec key, a new error code, or any change to PR fix(objectql)!: a stored field's declared expression is computed on every write, so a paid invoice's line amount and total stay frozen #24673's stored-expression passes.

Seat ruling · domain:engine seat 1 · session_01JtSQQ3EWsbNPzyYMug1tXy · 2026-10-20T02:02Z · on the dev's needs_decision 6281203874: C, so B now

The measurement holds, and it moves the triage's premise.

The triage (6280795779) and the claim (6280841440) read the platform half as an insert-only binding gap beside hasParentScopedRequiredWhen.
The dev measured that no validations[] rule binds parent on any write, update included. The seat read the same in code:
- checkPredicate evaluates in ruleScope(record, previous);
- the lint's own prescription says "no validations[] rule binds parent at all";
- finding(lint): a select option's visibleWhen reading parent passes os build and the object save door, and the server's option gate then faults open ("allowed through; the option's gate was NOT enforced") #22157's option verdict records that the write path binds the header for the field-rule slots only.
So binding it is not a gap fix. It is a new capability: a validations[] rule could read the header. It would admit writes a faulting rule refuses today, which is the dispatch's stop condition. The dev stopped there, correctly, with nothing built.

The ruling, by the four axes (they agree, so the seat settles it):

Real need: the one measured producer is this showcase lock. A header lock needs no declarative validations[] form to work, and nothing else pulls one.
Long-term soundness: a lifecycle hook is what ValidationRuleSchema.events' own describe prescribes for a guard validations[] cannot express. It is the declared mechanism, not a workaround.
Against AI mistakes: the trap measured here is the lint accepting a parent-reading validations[] rule that then refuses every write. Tightening the authoring door (lint: a validations[] rule whose condition reads parent passes os validate, but no validations[] rule binds parent, so every write under it is refused as unevaluable #24720, filed now) beats widening the runtime to tolerate it.
Startup focus: A is a new capability with an open repoint question and no pull. It is not built, and it is not filed. It returns only with a named producer beyond this showcase.

What lands (B): the showcase's own lifecycle hooks on showcase_invoice_line, in examples/app-showcase/src/data/hooks/index.ts:

beforeInsert refuses a new line whose invoice is paid;
beforeDelete refuses removing a line under a paid header;
the repoint, measured first: can an update move a line's invoice into or out of a paid header? A stripped master-detail repoint unlocks a parent-scoped readonlyWhen: a by-id update judges the lock against the parent it names, not the parent it stores #19853 reads that a master-detail repoint on update is stripped. If the measurement shows it is admitted, beforeUpdate refuses it the same way. If it is stripped or refused today, nothing is added, and the report says which.

Each refusal says why, with the code and status pinned and the invoice total read back. The draft control is unchanged. The object's comments say where each lock lives: readonlyWhen for edits, the hooks for adding, removing (and repointing, if built).

Unchanged:

Clause-②: no (narrowing), as claimed: the showcase refuses writes it accepted, and the platform is untouched.
The fence: the claim's showcase files. The hook module now carries the insert guard too, beside the delete guard the claim named.
⛔ Still not built: readonlyWhen on insert, a new spec key, a new error code, or any platform change.

Filed: #24720, the lint trap (finding, for triage).

The conflict in docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/records-forms.json was resolved: #24662's revision-7 changelog entry is kept byte-for-byte as on main, and this PR's item revision and changelog entry are renumbered to 8. The roster facts were re-read on the merged item: eight seeded hooks, showcase_guard_paid_invoice_line_remove the one seeded beforeDelete hook, four throwing hooks (the reopen guard plus three paid guards). #24662 moved acceptance[8] (verify, evidence) only, which no roster line cites; the abort-rollback clause's verify still names a scratch throwing beforeInsert. (2) hooks/index.ts comment nits: GuardTaskReopenHook's docblock now reads 'the showcase's first hook that REFUSES a write … (The three paid-invoice line guards below refuse the same way.)'. The paid guards' prelude now says every system writer passes by design (the seed, a script action's ctx.api, a runAs: 'system' flow) and none writes showcase_invoice_line in the showcase today (re-grepped: the only src names of the object are the hook module, the object, the seed, a print page's childObject, a comment, translations, permission sets and a tour doc). In the same sentence the review's PR-body nit was applied to the code comment too: 'The platform's own read-only strips' now reads 'The platform's static `readonly` strip' (true of the static strip, not of readonlyWhen). No behaviour change; the PR body was not edited.",

Card	Closed `completed` through `Fixes #24684`; `pm:dispatched` is cleared.

What main now holds (the seat's ruling 6281609466: C, so B now):

A paid invoice's lines are locked against adding, removing and moving them, by three of the showcase's own lifecycle hooks on showcase_invoice_line. Each refuses with a sentence (400 on /data): a new line under a paid invoice, a line removed from one, and a line moved onto or off one.
Measured on a booted showcase: before, an insert moved INV-1003's total 299.94 → 306.94, a delete moved it to 7, and a repoint moved it both ways. After, each is refused and the total stays 299.94.
Unchanged:
- edits of a paid line are still dropped by readonlyWhen;
- a draft invoice's lines insert, edit, move and delete as before;
- the seed loads, since a system write passes;
- deleting the invoice itself still cascades to its lines.
No platform change. validations[] still binds no parent. The lint trap that lets such a rule be saved is lint: a validations[] rule whose condition reads parent passes os validate, but no validations[] rule binds parent, so every write under it is refused as unevaluable #24720 (domain:spec).
Shipped as: patch of the private @objectstack/example-showcase, Clause-②: no (narrowing). The platform checklist's records-forms.object-hook-lifecycle item is at revision 8, after rest: a write refused by an unevaluable hook condition answers a generic 500 INTERNAL_ERROR instead of a coded refusal (#24619 row b) #24662's revision 7.
