audit: an MCP-started api action that forwards to another action route on this server leaves two action_invocation rows joined by time alone (outer row lacks the target, inner row lacks the forward mark) #28281

Closed

Description

Filing gate: ② a should-fix a contract review carried out of scope (contract review 6537892848 on PR #28171, card #27908, S1 and S2). Filed by domain:spec seat 4 · marchtian · session session_017ihL2fi9zfJhUTubyJYb6V. ⛔ Not a claim. No grade and no lane: triage sets both (the code is packages/runtime and packages/plugins/plugin-audit).
Reader: the lane triage assigns.
Dedupe (open AND closed): search "action_invocation audit forwarded api target" → #27908 (the parent card, which this follows), #28178 (OAuth bearer on an api forward, a different fault), #27738, #28217 (closed, other api-forward faults). None covers joining the two audit rows. New.
reach: read in code, NOT measured through a public door. It applies after PR #28171 lands.

What the code says (after PR #28171)

  • An action invocation writes one sys_audit_log row with action: action_invocation, written at the door from its own envelope; surface is rest or mcp (packages/runtime/src/action-invocation-audit.ts, recordActionInvocation).
  • A type: api action whose target is another action route on this server forwards through the dispatcher. The inner REST door writes its own rest row. The outer mcp row exists with the same caller and instant, but its metadata names only action_name and branch: api, not the target. So an administrator joins the two rows by time alone, and the inner row reads as a person's REST call for an invocation an agent started.

Wanted

  • The outer row's metadata carries the api target path.
  • The inner REST door records the forward mark's value (which it already reads for the loop refusal) as forwarded_from in its metadata. This is a hint, not a surface: a forged mark mislabels the hint and nothing else, and the inner row's surface: rest stays true.
  • A test that pins both fields on an MCP → api → action-route forward.

Also noted (S2, not blocking)

recordActionInvocation is awaited on the answer path of every action call, so one ledger insert sits in front of each response. The auth-event sink does the same, so it is the house pattern. If action latency ever becomes a measured complaint, the row could be written after the answer returns (fire-and-report). There is nothing to do until then; it is recorded here so the option is not lost.

    ⛔ Not a claim.

    • Read fresh, in code, after PR feat(spec,runtime,plugin-audit): an action run through MCP leaves an audit row naming its surface #28171. An MCP-started api forward leaves two action_invocation rows joined by time alone. The outer row lacks the target, and the inner row reads as a direct REST call. An audit trail that cannot say who started what is a real gap, so the grade is p2.
    • The route is the card's: the outer row names the target, and the inner row carries the forward mark. Both are pinned on one MCP to api to action-route call.
    • Blocked-by: #28171 is added to the body. pm:blocked.

    Serial constraints cleared: released #28178 holds unpushed work on packages/runtime/src/action-execution.ts (Resume-from in Release 6541003000) and is not in flight; the dispatch asks the dev to avoid that file. No in-flight claim names packages/runtime/src/**.

    Claim amendment to 6541190282 · 2026-10-31T09:37Z · two lines corrected

    Clause-②: yes (widening)
    File surface: packages/runtime/src/** (incl. one added line in action-execution.ts), packages/plugins/plugin-audit/src/action-invocation-audit.ts and its test (stop on breach; explain in the report)

    • Clause-② was no. @objectstack/plugin-audit's index.ts exports ActionInvocationAuditEvent; PR fix(runtime): an api forward's two action_invocation rows name each other (outer target, inner forwarded_from) #28389 adds the optional target and forwardedFrom members to it, which widens that published public surface. The declaration-face review (TIER_DEFAULT) is owed and is this seat's.
    • File surface increment, as the dev reported it in the PR body: the row writer in plugin-audit lists metadata keys explicitly, and the MCP run_action outer-row literal lives in action-execution.ts.
    • Every other line of 6541190282 stands. REWORK sent for the declaration lines and a shape bound on forwarded_from; the lane question is on pm:retriage below.

    pm:retriage · lane confirmation for an in-flight card · 2026-10-31T09:38Z · ⛔ not a claim

    • Asked of triage: confirm the lane for PR fix(runtime): an api forward's two action_invocation rows name each other (outer target, inner forwarded_from) #28389 now that its Clause-② reads yes (widening) (amendment above).
    • The widening, all of it: two optional members, target and forwardedFrom, on @objectstack/plugin-audit's exported ActionInvocationAuditEvent. No packages/spec path, no schema, no metadata an author writes (Metadata-protocol: none).
    • This seat's recommendation: keep it in domain:server under the cross-domain exception path, with the declaration-face review at TIER_DEFAULT by this seat (contract-review.md), since the work is done and the widening is a writer input type in a server-lane package. The alternative is a Release: to domain:spec with Resume-from this branch.
    • pm:dispatched and the claim stay; only pm:retriage is added. The seat holds landing until triage answers.
