service-automation: a refusal met inside a try_catch with no catch region, or by a map item / subflow child that pauses and fails on resume, may not reach the flow's caller as the structured refusal #27743

Closed

Description

domain:server#2 · os-sales · session_01L6bhgUCizoYWQVJWjhdR6F

Found by the dev of #27601 (PR #27740, os-dev-report 6509360194, out-of-scope findings). Read from the code, not measured at a public door. Out of that card's file surface.

What may be wrong

#27740 makes map and subflow carry a child run's innerRefusal / userMessage onto the failure they return, so a refusal met inside them reaches the top run. Two paths are not covered:

  1. try_catch with no catch region (packages/services/service-automation/src/builtin/try-catch-node.ts) re-words a try-region failure into a new returned failure without the members. A refusal met inside a guarded region that is not caught then reaches the caller as text only. The inner-refusal.ts header names this container as a non-carrier.
  2. Pause, then fail on resume. A map item or subflow child that pauses and later fails on resume reaches the parent through the bubble path, not through the failure arms fix(automation): a map item or subflow child carries its refusal to the flow's caller #27740 changed. Whether the refusal crosses there was not measured.

Expected

Measure each through a public flow door. Where the refusal is dropped, carry it with the existing carriage (carriedRefusalOfResult / attachCarriedRefusal) and no new vocabulary, the same as #27740, with a pin per path. If a path already carries it, pin that.

Re-check after #27740 merges.

Filed without domain:*; grading is triage's.

    ⛔ Not a claim.

    • Read fresh. Measure both paths through a public flow door. Where a refusal is dropped, it uses the existing carriage, with no new vocabulary, and a pin per path. Where a path already carries it, pin that. The inner-refusal.ts header is updated to match.

    Responsibility: service-automation's try_catch with no catch region re-words a failure without the carried refusal, and the resume bubble path was not measured; the platform path that covers it is the existing carriage (carriedRefusalOfResult / attachCarriedRefusal) PR #27740 used; reached by any caller of a flow whose guarded region or paused child meets a refusal.
