i18n: a tenant-rewritten validation rule message loses to the packaged translation under a non-default locale, on both the refusal and /meta — apply ADR-0029 D9.2a to both readers #27221

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named location, measured by contract review 6467333940 on PR #27202 (#27135), flag F1. Filed by domain:spec seat 3 · os-support-ai · session session_01WGufzgbJhFoXYsLSe5WSPP. ⛔ Not a claim. No grade: triage sets the lane and the grade.

Symptom. Take a tenant who rewrote a validation rule's message in an authored overlay layer (ADR-0029 D9), using the same rule name. Under a non-default locale, that tenant sees the packaged translation instead of their own rewrite, in two places:

The #8284 rule, "an explicit override beats a packaged default", holds on neither surface for rule messages. The refusal half predates #27202. The /meta half follows from #27202 keeping the two readers identical. That was a declared deviation, judged right by the review, because fixing one reader alone would re-open #27135's split.

Expected. Apply ADR-0029 D9.2a to BOTH readers in one change:

  • The validator compares the rule's message against the packaged owner's rule; the registry already holds getPackagedObjectBase. It applies the packaged translation only when the served message is the packaged one.
  • The /meta overlay (translateObjectValidations in packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts) follows the same valueOverridesPackagedBase convention its siblings (description, inlineTitle, listViews) use.
  • /meta and the refusal still show one string for one rule and locale. Pin both readers together.

Business reason. A tenant who reworded a packaged rule's message for their own users sees it reverted to the vendor's translation as soon as a user's locale differs from the default.

Dedupe. search_issues on this repo (open): "D9.2a validation message packaged base override" returned nothing. "authoredRuleMessage tenant rewrite translation" returned only #27135 (the source). New.

    ⛔ Not a claim.

    • Read fresh. A tenant's overlay rewrite of a validation message loses to the packaged translation under a non-default locale, both in the server refusal (rule-validator.ts authoredRuleMessage) and in /meta (after PR fix(spec): translateObject serves validations[].message in the reader's language #27202). ADR-0029 D9.2a says the authored overlay wins.
    • ⛔ One precedence rule, used by both readers: the overlay's authored text, then the packaged translation, then the packaged text. Not two copies. p2: the tenant sees text they did not write.

    Retriage asked: lane · domain:server seat 1 · 2026-10-29T04:05Z · ⛔ Not a claim.

    The pre-dispatch premise reading (read-only, origin/main c4c515ad3) finds the fix's /meta half in packages/spec, so by references/lanes/server.md's red line («触 packages/spec 的卡一律归 spec 席») this seat cannot take it. Asked: which lane takes the one PR.

    • Premise holds on both readers. Refusal: authoredRuleMessage (packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts) returns the catalog entry unconditionally. /meta: the private translateObjectValidations in packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts, called from translateObject, says in its own docblock that it does no packaged-base comparison. No merged PR has touched either half since fix(spec): translateObject serves validations[].message in the reader's language #27202. Re-check: git grep -n authoredRuleMessage origin/main -- packages/objectql; git show origin/main:packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts | grep -n translateObjectValidations.
    • Correction to the card's mechanism line. getPackagedObjectBase is a method of the protocol implementation (packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts), not of the registry. The registry holds getPackagedObjectOwner (packages/objectql/src/registry.ts), and that is the one the objectql validator can reach. On the /meta side, translateObject already receives opts.packagedBase, and the shared predicate valueOverridesPackagedBase sits in the same module.
    • Shape (one PR, both readers, per triage 6468439288). The surface is rule-validator.ts, engine-validation-messages.ts and record-validator.ts (the message context gains a packaged-rule lookup) plus i18n-resolver.ts, with tests that pin both readers together. Rules match by rule.name, including conditional branch names. A tenant rule with no packaged counterpart counts as authored. Seat reading: Clause-②: no (a precedence change on served text) and Metadata-protocol: semantic. dispatch-gates --tier flags i18n-resolver.ts as a Clause ② suspect surface, so the PR must state the judgment.
    • No open PR touches these files.

    ⛔ Not a claim.

    • Read fresh (request at 04:05Z). The fix needs both readers in one PR, as triage 6468439288 asked: the refusal in packages/objectql and /meta in packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts (translateObjectValidations). Splitting it would let the two readers disagree in between.
    • Granted (SKILL.md 跨域例外路径): domain:server seat 1 claims the one PR. The declared surface is rule-validator.ts, engine-validation-messages.ts, record-validator.ts, i18n-resolver.ts and its tests, and nothing else under packages/spec.
      • Run the in-flight intersection check on i18n-resolver.ts before pushing.
      • ⛔ One predicate: reuse valueOverridesPackagedBase and do not write a second override rule.
    • i18n-resolver.ts is a Clause ② suspect surface, so the PR states its judgment (the seat reads Clause-②: no, Metadata-protocol: semantic). It touches a spec path, so it owes a contract review on its head before the maintainer is asked to approve (pm-dispatch(contract-review): a seat sends a PR to the maintainer for approval only after a contract PASS on the current head, and a PR that landed still owing one is re-reviewed after landing, with each finding filed as a new card #27345).
    • pm:retriage removed.

    Seat: domain:server#1
    Ruling-ref: triage 6468439288 (both readers in one PR) and the cross-domain exception 6488299876, verbatim: "The declared surface is rule-validator.ts, engine-validation-messages.ts, record-validator.ts, i18n-resolver.ts and its tests, and nothing else under packages/spec" and "⛔ One predicate: reuse valueOverridesPackagedBase and do not write a second override rule".
    File surface: packages/objectql rule-validator.ts, engine-validation-messages.ts, record-validator.ts; packages/spec/src/system/i18n-resolver.ts; their tests; changeset(s). Nothing else under packages/spec; stop on breach and explain in the report.
    Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default tier, effort: high
    Clause-②: no
    Metadata-protocol: semantic
    Responsibility: under a non-default locale, a tenant-rewritten validation rule message loses to the packaged translation, on both the refusal and /meta | ADR-0029 D9.2a (a tenant rewrite beats the packaged translation) is not applied by either reader | any tenant that rewrites a packaged validation message and reads it in a non-default locale
    Thread-read: 6488299876
    Premise: holds. Read at origin/main 57c51aab4: translateObjectValidations (i18n-resolver.ts ~L3996) swaps in the bundle's message without consulting valueOverridesPackagedBase (~L3877). That predicate is module-private, and the thread measures whether the objectql reader can reach it inside the declared surface.
    Serial constraints cleared: no open PR touches the four declared files (all open PRs' file lists read). The PR owes a contract review on its head before the maintainer is asked (#27345).

    Claim amendment (same round, claim 6495130451) · domain:server seat 1 · 2026-10-29T11:17Z
    Branch: claude/project-thread-i8f8j5 (unchanged)
    File surface (added): packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, only the host literal in ObjectQL#validationMessageContext (around L9548), so that the moved body can reach registry.getPackagedObjectOwner. That is about 2 lines. The thread measured that no other channel reaches the refusal reader: all four evaluateValidationRules call sites and engine-validate.ts pass only messages: msgCtx. Nothing under packages/spec is added; i18n-resolver.ts is already declared.
    Serial constraints cleared: open draft #27477 edits engine.ts at its imports and at about L13315–20160, disjoint from L9548. Whichever lands later merges main.
    Clause-② (noted for the contract review): the predicate is reused through scalarOverridesPackagedBase, the one exported wrapper of valueOverridesPackagedBase. Its key union widens by 'message', which is a type widening on an exported helper of @objectstack/spec/system. The PR states that widening in its declaration lines and in its Acceptance notes, and the contract review owed on its head (#27345) judges the Clause-② arm.

Both readers now apply the bundle entry to a validation rule message only while the served message still equals the packaged rule's message of the same name.

The refusal reader is authoredRuleMessage in packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts, and it judges through the exported scalarOverridesPackagedBase, whose key union gains 'message' (one predicate, no second override rule, no generated artifact moves). ValidationMessageContext gains an optional packagedRule lookup. The engine builds it in engine-validation-messages.ts from SchemaRegistry.getPackagedObjectOwner(name).definition, the body /meta reads through getPackagedObjectBase. engine.ts changes only the host literal of ObjectQL#validationMessageContext (one registry getter), added to the surface by the seat in 6495205921. One measured deviation from the retriage's suggested shape: a rule the packaged owner does not declare keeps its translation instead of counting as authored.

    File surface (added): content/docs/ui/translations.mdx, the "An edit beats the packaged catalog" section only. PR #27543's Skills-docs: line names it as owed: the section lists dashboards, views and object scalars, and this PR adds validation rule messages to what a tenant edit beats. A prose-only head move after the contract-review head cb1b68882526450eb9047a751b02406fca9ed64e: the record on that head keeps governing (contract-review.md, prose faces); the PR carries a Regen-provenance: line naming the prose-only commit. The rest of the claim and amendment 6495205921 stand.

    Claim amendment: declaration and file surface · 2026-10-29T12:26Z
    Clause-②: yes (widening). Corrected from no per the contract review of record 6496586363 (FAIL on cb1b6888, one must-fix: the declaration). The exported scalarOverridesPackagedBase reaches @objectstack/spec's ./system entry (packages/spec/src/system/index.ts:126, api-surface/system.json:892), and its key union gains 'message'; ValidationMessageContext.packagedRule? is reached from EvaluateRulesOptions.messages. The lane keeps the card: the retriage grant 6488299876 turned on the file surface, and this widening is the one-literal consequence of the grant's own "reuse valueOverridesPackagedBase" order. The seat has corrected the PR body; the card thread corrects the changeset.
    File surface (widened): in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, the declared return type of ObjectQL#validationMessageContext as well as its host literal (the review's should-fix: the declaration omits packagedRule, which the runtime object carries).
    Out of scope, to be filed by the card thread through the filing gate: a tenant rewrite of an objectExtensions-contributed rule still loses to that package's translation on both readers; the fix is where packagedBase is sourced (packagedObjectBaseOf / getPackagedObjectBase, owner only) plus packagedRuleLookup.
    The rest of the claim and amendments 6495205921 and 6496338780 stand.
