extractWatchHints strips a module-relative literal's own depth, so unreachableReason prints false "never was a repo path" rows for files the gates really read — residue-side repair, shape pending the #12371 ruling #12299
Description
Split out of #12246 so it is not closed with it. #12246 filed three defects; its
re-dispatch fixed defects 1 and 2 (a glob in a non-final segment collapsed to a dead double
slash, and the "THE LAYOUT MOVED" misclassification that followed from it) and put this
third one explicitly out of surface. Filed unassigned, not graded.
The defect
extractWatchHints was written against .mjs gates, whose relative imports carry a leading
./. The packages/spec TypeScript gates use paths-mapped bare specifiers that look pathy,
and the extractor admits any quoted span carrying a slash:
lib/dist-freshness · lib/generated-output · lib/schema-name · src/kernel/protocol-version
data/field.zod.ts · ui/view.zod.ts · @objectstack/spec · typescript/bin/tsc
None of these was ever a repo path.
Measured, and re-measured on daae7aa396
Fleet-wide over 170 families x 754 distinct hints x 6816 tracked files: 640 inert
(check, hint) pairs, of which only 21 contain a glob at all. The specifiers carry no glob
whatsoever — this is a different function and a different mechanism from the glob collapse
#12246 fixed, which is why the two were separated there rather than folded together.
The inert hints fabricate no MATCHED pair — a hint covering zero files cannot put a gate
in any card's matched column. That was measured for #12107 and is why it landed. The cost is
confined to the residue, and it is real there: these specifiers are what unreachableReason
prints, so a family's genuine reason is displaced by literals that were never repo paths.
After #12246's fix the unreachable listing is 11 families, all of them "BY CONSTRUCTION",
and 10 of the 11 print reasons drawn entirely from this class, e.g.
- pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec run check:spec-changes [lint.yml] dead:
'src/kernel/protocol-version' — no tracked path under its first segment; never was a repo path
· 'src/migrations/registry' — … · 'src/migrations/spec-changes' — … · …
The verdicts are correct; the reasons are noise.
The warning that should become a pinned test whichever way this goes
data/field.zod.ts and
src/kernel/protocol-version are one top-level data/ or src/ directory away from covering
real files, and at that point they would fabricate in the matched column rather than in the
residue — which is the expensive direction hintCovers' docblock prices, not the cheap one.
Not asserted
No claim about the remedy. The hint set is fleet-wide, so any change here is priced the way
firstPartyImportTargets' docblock prices a widening. One shape the card that fixes it will
have to decide: whether to teach the extractor to read the owning package's tsconfig.json
paths and drop what resolves through it, or to require a leading ./ for a TS gate's
relative reads, or to leave the extraction alone and filter at the point the residue prints.

hintCovers' matching semantics — [finding]**in a hint does not match ZERO segments —scripts/**/*.d.mtsnames 3 tracked files and reaches 0, a dead hint by construction that #12300's new branch introduced #12329 is a separate open card on exactly that branch and is held serial behind you.bare-root-worklist.mjsTRIAGErow.

That outcome is a good result, not a failed dispatch.Zone 2 — my assumptions; falsify them before building on them
a.⚠️ The card's numbers (640 inert
(check, hint)pairs, 128 inert hints, 170 families / 754 hints / 6816 files) were measured atdaae7aa396.mainhas moved a long way since — #12246, #12300, #12332, #12335 and #12346 all landed in or beside this file. I have not re-measured any of them. Re-derive every term on one named current tree before using it.b. I assume the inert specifiers still fabricate no MATCHED pair, i.e. the cost is still confined to the residue. The card measured that for #12107; I did not re-check it. If it is now false the card's whole priority changes — say so rather than proceeding.
c. I have not verified which of the three remedy shapes (read the owning package's
tsconfig.jsonpaths; require a leading./for a TS gate's relative reads; filter at the point the residue prints) is the honest one. Measure first, then choose, and state why the other two lose.Zone 3 — suggested route (not binding)

PM correction — this card's named mechanism does not exist
The dev returned
premise_still_valid: falseand opened no PR. It was right, and I verified at source rather than taking the report.The title is false
This card is titled "
extractWatchHintsadmitspaths-mapped TypeScript module specifiers". There is nopathsmapping anywhere in the chain — measured atorigin/main, with a positive control:⭐ The control is the point: other tsconfigs in this repo do declare
paths, so the zero above is a real zero and not a search that silently matched nothing.tsconfig.scripts.jsonresolves throughmoduleResolution: bundler.The real class is three mechanisms — extensionless relative imports whose own depth
extractWatchHintsstrips by design, package-src-relative path tables, and genuine non-paths. Only the third matches what the residue prints. Full measurement and the remedy fork are on #12371.What was mine
I flagged the card's numbers as unverified in Zone 2a and told the dev to re-derive them. I did not flag its mechanism — and worse, I repeated it: Zone 2c listed "read the owning package's
tsconfig.jsonpaths" as a candidate remedy without ever checking that apathsmap exists to read. A remedy option whose precondition I never tested is an assumption dressed as a route. It belonged in Zone 2 with the others, marked falsifiable.The dev checked it in the first minutes and the escape held. That is the clause working, not a near miss — but the clause should not have had to carry a premise I could have tested in one command.
And one of the card's two headlines measures ZERO
The claim that inert hints "displace a family's real reason" is not a defect: across all 11 unreachable families every dead hint is the
neverkind, so the count of families where a non-neverreason is displaced by thecap=3is 0. Half of this card describes nothing.What is real, and stays real
The residue is false, not merely noisy —
unreachableReasonsays "never was a repo path" aboutpackages/spec/scripts/lib/dist-freshness.ts,packages/spec/src/kernel/protocol-version.tsandpackages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts, all of which exist and are genuinely read. And the fabrication direction is live: 31 top-level roots sit one directory away from converting an inert hint into a MATCHED-column fabrication (@objectstack279 pairs,src59,@fx58,lib36).Disposition
pm:blockedon [finding]**in a hint does not match ZERO segments —scripts/**/*.d.mtsnames 3 tracked files and reaches 0, a dead hint by construction that #12300's new branch introduced #12329, and this is mechanical rather than a preference: [finding]**in a hint does not match ZERO segments —scripts/**/*.d.mtsnames 3 tracked files and reaches 0, a dead hint by construction that #12300's new branch introduced #12329 changes the covering rule (**in a non-final segment matches one-or-more segments, never zero), and the covering rule determines the inert set. The residue-side repair describes that set. Built before [finding]**in a hint does not match ZERO segments —scripts/**/*.d.mtsnames 3 tracked files and reaches 0, a dead hint by construction that #12300's new branch introduced #12329, it is stale on arrival.pm:retriagealongside — the title and the "displaces a real reason" half both assert things the tree does not support, and re-framing a card is triage's, not this seat's. ⛔ Original labels not stripped.The

abc12cb07c) and sits upstream of most of what this card describes. Measured onorigin/mainat claim time:PR #12471's own measurement (reviewed by this seat, not re-run): 9 of 11 unreachable families moved off the false reason onto a true one. If that holds, this card's headline — "10 of the 11 print reasons drawn entirely from this class" — is now roughly 2 of 11. Its other headline was already measured at zero on #12371.
So the first deliverable is the residue count on current
main, not an implementation. Both outcomes are successes: residue ≈ 2 with true reasons ⇒ close on the reading; still false ⇒ implement B on those families only. Two sibling cards (#12322, #12310) closed exactly that way this round once ruling D landed.The full brief is in the claim comment above (

session_01PfaSTikked61BkcsB5Rn69, round 14.main@1246b4cf2✓ · first lineFixes #12299✓scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs— exactly the declared surfaceskip-changesetcorrect — internal PM tooling, publishes nothingThe measurement-first dispatch did what it was for
I dispatched this as measure, then decide, and said plainly that closing on the reading would be a success. The dev measured, and my relayed number was exactly right: 2 of 11 families still print "never was a repo path" (
check:driver-memory-census,check-test-completeness.mjs), every dead hint a bare package specifier, zero resolving to anything — the honest class (c). ⇒ By my own stated criterion the card was done and the correct move was to close it.⭐ It did not stop there, and that is the finding. Ruling A did not remove the false sentence — it moved it:
Nine families are on
mainright now advertised under "THE LAYOUT MOVED under a gate that still spells the old path — a real miss, worth triaging", about directories nothing moved out of, for files sitting right there.globInNonFinalSegment's own docblock calls that "the worst row this output can print", and #12329 landed partly to take it from 1 to 0. It came back at 9.Mechanism, and it is one character class wide:
hintCoverscompares whole segments; an ESM/TS relative import drops its extension; the resolved hint misses the tracked-prefix set by exactly.ts;deepestTrackedPrefixstops one segment short;unreachableClassreads a short prefix as a move.⭐⭐ The instrument lesson, which is the most reusable thing here
Ruling A shipped a pin that asserted only
Boolean(deepestTrackedPrefix(...))— that the hint had left the "never" branch. Leaving that branch is precisely what puts a hint into the "layout moved" branch. The pin was green for an arrival it never looked at.That belongs beside this lane's existing "beware the self-satisfying pin". Both are pins that pass while the thing they exist to protect is broken; this one is subtler, because the assertion is true — it is just not the whole transition. The fix asserts both ends on the same live specimen (departure, arrival, and the resulting class), which is the right shape.
Scope ruling — I checked this rather than waving it through
The card asks about "never was a repo path" rows; the PR repairs "layout moved" rows. In scope, and I am recording why: the card's subject is the residue states something false, the dev measured that the falsehood relocated rather than left, and repairing it where it now lives is the same defect. It stays inside the declared one-file surface, and ⛔
hintCoversis untouched — so the MATCHED column is byte-identical and no verdict moves. Teaching MATCHED to follow a dropped extension would be a fleet-wide widening owing its own pair-count measurement; the PR says so and declines it. That is the correct boundary.Spot-checks I ran on the diff myself
unreachableClassexception is exactly as narrow as claimed:!target && deepest && deepest !== collapseHint(hint). The fixture pins both directions —check:extensionless⇒by construction, andcheck:moved⇒ stilllayout moved.extensionlessModuleTargetrefuses a hint the tree already has as a path, so the "too generic" case keeps its own (more useful) message. Pinned three ways on the fixture: finds the file, refuses the tracked path, invents nothing forapplication/json..tsis first inMODULE_SPECIFIER_EXTENSIONS— correct precedence for this repo, and all 38 live resolutions land on.ts.targetfield is optional-safe: the pre-existing cap test passesdeadentries withouttarget, which reads falsy and falls through to the old branch. No crash, no behaviour change there.⭐ The narrowing is priced, and the price is pinned as an AGREEMENT rather than a count — so it survives the tree moving. Over the live fleet the strict list and "any suffix in the same directory" select the same 38 hints (costs no lead) but name a different file for 4, because a
.test.tssibling sorts first. Reporting a gate's test sibling as "the file this specifier means" would be a new false sentence replacing the old one — the exact failure being undone. And the third pin holds the justification itself to the tree, with a re-point-don't-delete instruction if those test files ever go. ⛔ That is how a rationale stops quietly evaporating.⭐ Two of the dev's own new pins failed on first run and both were real findings. A pin suite that has never failed proves nothing; this one failed usefully before it passed.
Declared narrowing — accepted, and better argued than most
Repo-wide
pnpm lintnot run locally, with a three-step argument rather than an assertion: the population is read from eslint's own config (with a positive control) showing this repo runs oneeslint.config.mjsthat never enables type-aware linting for any file;--format jsonreports 1 file, 0 errors, 0 warnings; with no type-aware linting and a one-file diff, the change cannot move the verdict on an untouched file. CI runs the farm regardless.mainhas been printing 9 false "layout moved" rows since PR #12471 landed. Not a red, not a verdict change — a reporting defect that costs a reader a hunt. It is fixed by this PR, so it needs no separate card, but it is worth knowing that a landed, reviewed, pinned change introduced it and the pin did not see it.⛔ Not flipping ready yet: every check on the PR must be green, not just the required subset. Will arm once CI lands.

On the question as asked the relayed number is exactly right and the answer is ZERO: families still printing 'never was a repo path' are 2 of 11 (check:driver-memory-census, scripts/check-test-completeness.mjs), every one of their dead hints is a bare package specifier, and NONE of them resolves to anything — pure class (c), honest. By the dispatch's own stated criterion the card was done. It is not, because the false statement MOVED rather than left: ruling A carried the other 9 families out of 'never was a repo path' (filed BY CONSTRUCTION, i.e. inert) into 'the tree stops at X; the layout moved under it' (filed LAYOUT MOVED, printed under the heading 'a real miss, worth triaging'). The tree did not move — hintCovers compares whole segments and an ESM/TS import drops its extension, so the resolved hint packages/spec/scripts/lib/dist-freshness misses the corpus by exactly .ts while packages/spec/scripts/lib/dist-freshness.ts is on disk. So the card's charter as the 21:46Z retriage wrote it (the residue asserts something FALSE about a literal that does resolve to a real file) is still live at 9 of 11, and it is now in the EXPENSIVE direction: globInNonFinalSegment's own docblock calls that row 'the worst row this output can print', and #12329 landed partly to take 'layout moved' from 1 to 0 — it came back at 9. Implemented option B sized to that: extensionlessModuleTarget names the file the tree really has, unreachableReason says so, and such a hint no longer votes for the layout-moved class. No verdict moves, hintCovers untouched, MATCHED column byte-identical; 'layout moved' goes 9 to 1 and the survivor (check:entry-nameability) is honest. HOW IT LANDED GREEN, which is the reusable lesson: ruling A's own pin asserted only Boolean(deepestTrackedPrefix(...)) — that the hint had LEFT the 'never' branch — and leaving that branch is precisely what puts a hint into the 'layout moved' one, so a departure pin was green for an arrival it never looked at.

Families printing 'never was a repo path': 2 of 11 — check:driver-memory-census ('@objectstack/driver-memory') and scripts/check-test-completeness.mjs ('@objectstack/types', '@objectstack/example-showcase', '@objectstack/embedder-openai', '@objectstack/sdui-parser', '@objectstack/cli', '@objectstack/spec', '@objectstack/runtime'); 0 of those hints resolve to any file, so both rows are HONEST class (c).

Dead-hint kind tally before the fix: never 10, too-generic 0, layout-moved 22. Class split before: layout moved 9 / by construction 2.

Each exit code captured before any pipe, each gate run under `bash scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh -c ...`: check:nul-bytes, check:agent-test-spelling, check:bash32-floor, check:cli-command-ids, check:cross-package-test-inputs, check:entry-guard, check:parse-guard, check:pnpm-filter-targets, check:pm-dispatch-gates, node scripts/check-ci-filter-parity.mjs, node scripts/check-cross-package-test-inputs.mjs, node scripts/check-self-test-wired.mjs, node scripts/pm/bare-root-worklist.mjs --self-test — ALL exit=0; wrapper line `os-verify-lock: VERDICT command-exit 0 - held the lock 80s (1m20s) - waited 0s`. Verdict lines quoted from the gates themselves, never from a bare $?: `dispatch-gates self-test: 736 cases pass.`; `check-self-test-wired: every one of the 140 script(s) CI runs that ship a --self-test has that self-test run by CI.`; `bare-root-worklist OK self-test: 46 live row(s), 39 unreachable as spelled, 39 recorded verdict(s) - none stale, none missing, none contradicted.`; `check-nul-bytes: OK (scanned 7118 text file(s) ... no raw ASCII control bytes)`. THE SCRIPT'S OWN SUITE is separately owed and was run: this file has no sibling *.test.ts (the two repo-wide *.test.ts hits on the string 'dispatch-gates' are prose mentions in packages/cli and packages/create-objectstack comments, verified by reading them), so its suite is its --self-test plus check:pm-dispatch-gates plus check-self-test-wired.mjs, all above. TWO OF MY NEW PINS FAILED ON THE FIRST RUN and both were real, which is the evidence the pins bite: (1) the extension-narrowing pin caught that a rule accepting any suffix picks the .test.ts sibling for 4 of the 38 hints (protocol-version, metadata-type-schemas, react-blocks, manifest-collection-spelling) — my earlier scratch measurement had compared only WHICH hints resolve, never WHICH FILE, so the pin found what the measurement missed; the docblock and the pin were both rewritten to the measured truth rather than to my first draft. (2) a fixture-count pin moved by my new sweep family. Re-run after the fix: 736 pass, 0 fail. NO ABLATION was performed and none is claimed. REPO-WIDE `pnpm lint` NARROWED, DECLARED, with all three pieces of evidence: (a) population read from eslint's own config, which records — measured there with a positive control — that this repo runs one eslint.config.mjs enabling type-aware linting for NO file; (b) file count read from --format json: 1 file linted, 0 errors, 0 warnings; (c) invariance: with no type-aware linting and a one-file diff, no untouched file's verdict can move.
