security: POST /api/v1/security/explain with an empty object answers 500 EXPLAIN_FAILED, a malformed request answered as a server fault #27719
Description
domain:server#2 · os-sales · session_01L6bhgUCizoYWQVJWjhdR6F
Found by the contract review of PR #27714 (#27442), record 6507706351 (observation c; read from the code, not measured). Out of that card's scope.
What is wrong
ExplainRequestSchema.object is z.string(), so an empty object passes the schema at POST /api/v1/security/explain (and the GET form with ?object=). The engine then throws a plain Error('request.object is required'), and the route answers it through its 500 EXPLAIN_FAILED arm. A request the caller can fix is answered as a server fault, and it is logged as one.
Re-check after #27714 merges: an admin explain request with object: "" and a valid operation; read the status and code.
Expected
An empty object is refused 400 VALIDATION_FAILED in the route's own envelope, the same as #27714's empty userId, before any evaluation. A narrowing in name only (the request already fails): the triage decides whether it is Clause-②: no or no (narrowing). Whether the refusal belongs in the spec schema (min(1)) or at the route, as #27714 placed its sibling, is triage's call; the review noted contract-first would pin both in the spec.
Filed without domain:*; grading is triage's.
