+fix(app-shell): a position created from Setup → Positions → New is saved live and shows in the Positions list right after Save, as a permission set does
+
+Clause-②: no
+Metadata-protocol: none
+
+- **`@object-ui/app-shell`:** the `position` resource now registers `createLive: true`, the key the permission set already carries. Outside a package binding, "New" writes the position live (one PUT with no `mode` and no `package`, with the first-write pin `If-None-Match: *`), so it appears in the Positions list and its detail page reads it at once. Before, Setup carried no package, the create landed as a draft with no package, the list showed nothing and a read of the name answered not found until the admin published it by hand. Under a package binding (`?package=`) the create stays a package draft, as before.
+- Later edits of an existing position in Setup still save as drafts, the generic editor's rule for every type; that is unchanged here.
+
+What to do: nothing.

+/**
+ * objectstack#26192 — a position created from Setup → Positions → New is
+ * created LIVE, as a permission set is (objectui#7611).
+ *
+ * Positions register no `EditPage`, so "New" opens the generic
+ * `MetadataResourceEditPage`, whose save writes a draft. Setup carries no
+ * package binding (`?package=`), so before this the create was a draft with no
+ * package: the Positions list (published items) never showed it and a read of
+ * the name answered not found until the admin published it by hand. The
+ * server admits a live position create (`allowRuntimeCreate` on the `position`
+ * row of the spec's metadata-type registry), and the permission set, authored
+ * beside it, already creates live through the same `createLive` key.
+ *
+ * Pinned on the REAL page over a REAL `MetadataClient`, with the position's
+ * registration taken from the real `builtinComponents` module (its only home),
+ * its transport an in-memory server that records each PUT's `mode`, package
+ * and first-write pin, as in `ResourceEditPage.liveCreate-7611.test.tsx`:
+ *
+ *  - outside a package: ONE live PUT (no `mode`, no `package`) with the
+ *    first-write pin, and the editor opens the created position;
+ *  - under a package binding the create stays a package draft (control), the
+ *    ADR-0086 package door's draft semantics.
