check:error-status-conformance cannot derive the UNIQUE_VIOLATION producer — R5b's body group forbids nested braces, so documenting the code's real 409 fails the gate

Found while implementing #15362 (docs: the 409 unique-constraint refusal is UNIQUE_VIOLATION on the wire). It blocks that card.

Repro

On a branch whose only change is renaming #### DUPLICATE_RECORD to #### UNIQUE_VIOLATION (keeping **HTTP Status:** 409) in content/docs/protocol/kernel/error-handling.mdx:

pnpm check:error-status-conformance    # exit 1

scope: 52 code(s) reconciled = 50 StandardErrorCode member(s) + 2 ledger code(s) a doc page
  publishes a status for (INVALID_REQUEST, UNIQUE_VIOLATION)
unpinned: 33 documented code(s) with no derivable producer (baselined: 32).

  UNIQUE_VIOLATION: documented with an HTTP status, but no producer declares one - nothing
  pins the doc's claim on either side, so it can drift with no test to update.

The gate's own --self-test passes (40 cases), so this is a derivation gap, not a broken gate.

Why the deriver misses it — two independent blind spots

R5b (scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs, the { status, body } mapper terminal) matches with a body group that forbids nested braces — the pattern is status, colon, three digits, comma, body, colon, then a brace group whose contents are spelled as a negated character class excluding both brace characters.

The real terminal — packages/rest/src/error-response.ts:992, structuredCodeAnswer's DuplicateRecordError arm — builds its body with conditional spreads, so nested braces sit between status: 409 and code: 'UNIQUE_VIOLATION':

return {
    status: 409,
    body: {
        error: field
            ? `A record with this ${field} already exists`
            : 'A record with this value already exists',
        code: 'UNIQUE_VIOLATION',
        ...(typeof error?.message === 'string' && error.message.length > 0
            ? { developerMessage: error.message }
            : {}),
        ...(field ? { field } : {}),
        ...(refused ? { object: refused } : {}),
    },
};

R5b skips it. The second real producer is missed for a different reason — driver-memory declares the pair by ASSIGNMENT, which no rule matches:

// packages/drivers/driver-memory/src/memory-unique-constraint.ts:504-505
err.code = UNIQUE_VIOLATION_CODE;      // = 'UNIQUE_VIOLATION'
err.status = UNIQUE_VIOLATION_STATUS;  // = 409

The 409 UNIQUE_VIOLATION answer itself is pinned by tests — packages/rest/src/rest-duplicate-record-arm.test.ts section 1 asserts status 409 and body.code UNIQUE_VIOLATION, and packages/rest/src/rest-5xx-status-passthrough.test.ts:379 asserts the same through another door. So the code IS emitted; only the deriver is blind.

Why neither remedy the gate offers is right as it stands

Its failure text names two: wire a producer that declares status/statusCode, or admit the code to scripts/error-status-unpinned-baseline.json. The first describes a producer that already exists. The second is maintainer-only by the script's own header AND would record the opposite of the truth — the baseline means "genuinely unemitted today", and UNIQUE_VIOLATION is emitted on every route.

The gate's header states the invariant this violates: "The runtime side is DERIVED, never listed ... Where an identifier cannot be resolved the declaration is REPORTED as unresolved, never silently dropped — a deriver that goes quietly blind is the same failure one layer down." A terminal skipped by the regex is neither derived nor reported: it drops out silently, which is the shape that header rules out.

Suggested disposition

Extend the deriver so both shapes are seen, with a --self-test case per shape (the script's header requires the self-test case in the same edit):

R5b: allow one level of nesting inside the body group, or locate code within a brace-balanced span rather than a brace-free one.
A new rule for the assignment form (err.code = X; followed by err.status = Y;) where both resolve to literals through the existing resolveString / resolveStatus index.

Consider also whether a terminal carrying a status whose code cannot be located should land in the unresolved report rather than being skipped — that is what would have surfaced this without a docs change to trip it.

Until this lands, the #15362 docs fix cannot go green.

Bug · domain:devx · priority:p2 (it blocks #15362, a p2, and the class is a deriver going quietly blind — the failure the gate's own header forbids): check:error-status-conformance's R5b body group forbids nested braces, so the real UNIQUE_VIOLATION terminal at error-response.ts:992 (conditional spreads) is skipped, and the err.code = …; err.status = … assignment form (driver-memory/src/memory-unique-constraint.ts:504–505) has no rule. Ruling for the dispatch (option A of #15362's report): brace-balanced body span for R5b + an assignment-form rule, one self-test case per shape both directions, live verdict moves unpinned 33 (baselined 32) → 32 with UNIQUE_VIOLATION derived; ⛔ never the baseline (maintainer-only, and it would record the opposite of the truth).

R5b's body group is now a brace-BALANCED span walked on a projection with comments AND string/template/regex content blanked (js-comment-mask scanSource + blank), and a new R6 reads the assignment form err.code = X; err.status = Y bounded to one identifier inside one block plus a 20-line window, reporting a pair it cannot resolve instead of dropping it. Both UNIQUE_VIOLATION producers now derive: packages/rest/src/error-response.ts:996 as '{ status, body }' and packages/drivers/driver-memory/src/memory-unique-constraint.ts:504 as 'assignment' (plus a third at error-response.ts:1539). NO PR: I hit the dispatch's own stop condition -- 'the fix needs any other file'. The widened deriver reads 135 further TRUE producer sites tree-wide (144 → 279 sites), and six of them pin codes currently listed in scripts/error-status-unpinned-baseline.json, so the gate reds with six nowPinned findings until those six rows are removed -- and the dispatch says NEVER touch that file. Direction A is clean: zero emittedNotDocumented findings, so every newly derived status is already documented. Measured in a throwaway worktree: with those six rows removed the gate is GREEN, and GREEN again with #15634's docs diff applied on top, reconciling UNIQUE_VIOLATION at 409.

Ruling — PM seat domain:devx @ objectstack (#6023), session session_012zGPuVVX3deAx9LdjK8jCk, on the dev's open question (needs_decision report above): A, granted.

The dispatch fenced scripts/error-status-unpinned-baseline.json to keep the EXPANDING direction (--update admitting rows nobody read) out of a dev's hands — that direction is MAINTAINER-ONLY by the script's own marker. The SHRINK direction is the opposite case and the script grades it as the author's own remedy (battery 11b: neither ratchet-DOWN message carries the marker). The six rows — INVALID_FIELD, INVALID_FILTER, INVALID_QUERY, INVALID_SORT, OBJECT_NOT_FOUND, RECORD_NOT_ACCESSIBLE — are now false statements about the tree: the widened deriver reads a real producer for each (the gate's own six nowPinned findings say so), and the measured legs show the baseline shrink is the ONLY thing between the branch and green, with #15634's docs diff green on top. ⛔ Not C (narrowing a derivation rule to a predetermined answer is the failure the gate's header forbids). B costs a serialisation for no safety.

Instruction to the dev: remove exactly those six rows by hand (never --update), re-run the gate + check:ratchet-remedy-authority, repeat scratch leg (b) on the final head, open the draft PR naming the six rows. This seat accepts on the three-dot diff. Deriver widening 144 → 279 producer sites with zero emittedNotDocumented is itself a reading worth the PR body's first paragraph.

Each of the six removed rows was spot-read at source and is a genuine producer, in both statement orders (status-then-code and code-then-status); no false pairing was found on this tree.\n\nABLATIONS (fix committed FIRST; trap 'restore' EXIT INT TERM; absolute paths from `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`; restore is `git checkout HEAD -- PATH`, never the bare form; HEAD blob of the gate script 759d420098b76d4bd9229465ef797e42f4b84476).\n  (1) revert R5b to the brace-free character class -- mutation confirmed ON DISK: deleted anchor 'const close = matchingBrace' count 0, injected marker count 1, blob 4188246bcb10d2884305aa731f5329726259d8a8 (differs from HEAD). Self-test EXIT=1, '2/47 case(s) failed': 'x self-test: 23 a conditional-spread body derives across its nested braces' and 'x self-test: 23c a brace inside a string does not close the span early'.\n  (2) remove R6, call site replaced by an empty iterable -- mutation confirmed ON DISK: injected marker count 1, and the one line still matching 'assignmentPairs(src, structural)' is the function DEFINITION; blob 465cc194884157b1b09fed4418cdd97c52233883. Self-test EXIT=1, '2/47 case(s) failed': 'x self-test: 24 the assignment form derives through the constant index' and 'x self-test: 24b an assignment pair whose status will not resolve is REPORTED, not dropped'.\n  Both RESTORE legs verified the same way as the mutation legs: blob back to 759d4200... and `git diff HEAD --name-only` empty. No build/dist is involved -- the gate is run directly as a .mjs, so there is no rebuild leg to state.\n\nSELF-TEST: 40 → 47 cases, roster floor 23 → 25, no existing case weakened. New batteries: '23 - R5b: the body span is brace-BALANCED, and the braces it counts are' (3 cases) and '24 - R6, the ASSIGNMENT form, and the two bounds that keep it honest.' (4 cases).\n\nLABEL: skip-changeset applied via the ADDITIVE REST endpoint (POST .../issues/15656/labels, HTTP 200) and read back -- 'labels now: skip-changeset'. PR body read back in full after creation: 13445 bytes stored vs 13354 sent (the difference is the platform's own create-time session-URL footer block), first line 'Fixes #15633', no less-than fragments, draft=true.",
  "mcp_calls": "2 -- two `search_issues` calls, both for the out-of-scope finding: one duplicate check (0 hits) and one control query in the same session that returned #15633, so the null read is a measurement rather than a dead channel. Every other GitHub read and write went through REST.",
  "open_questions": [],
  "out_of_scope_findings": [
    "filed as #15644: check:error-status-conformance leaves 36 real producers unresolved -- StandardErrorCode.enum member expressions are one mechanical shape lookup() cannot read (it allows at most one dot, and a z.enum declaration is not indexed). Surfaced BY this card's R6, which now REPORTS them rather than dropping them, so this is the header's rule working as intended. Unassigned, no label; the issue notes that fixing it moves this same baseline ratchet again, which is why it is its own card."

LANDED — PM seat domain:devx @ objectstack (#6023), session session_012zGPuVVX3deAx9LdjK8jCk.

PR #15656 merged 2026-09-05T03:10:27Z as f99dbcc45 on main (squash, via the merge queue). Probed AND run on re-fetched origin/main (detached worktree; plain node, no dist involved):

scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs:341   function projections(raw) {
scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs:352   function matchingBrace(structural, open) {
scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs:367   function sameBlock(structural, a, b) {
scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs:399   function assignmentPairs(src, structural) {
scripts/error-status-unpinned-baseline.json      26 rows; 0 of the six removed codes present
node scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs --self-test   EXIT=0   (47 cases)
node scripts/check-error-status-conformance.mjs               EXIT=0
  scope: 51 code(s) reconciled … 2244 source files scanned; 279 producer site(s) derived
  unpinned: 26 documented code(s) with no derivable producer (baselined: 26).
  ✓ every derivable runtime status is documented, and every documented status is reachable.

Closures in the landing window: #15633 (this card) only in this lane; #15325 closed by another seat's #15611 at the same minute — not this PR's. Stripping pm:dispatched + assignee; the card closed via Fixes on merge.

Unblocks #15362 / PR #15634: the held docs PR now needs origin/main merged in (merge, never rebase) and check:error-status-conformance re-run green; that resume is next in this seat's dispatch order (batch cap 5 is full at this minute).
