[finding] once #18618 lands, the RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR Lifecycle docblock says the gate rejects "one state" and that entries are permanent — the new (b3) rejects a second state and prints "delete the entry" as its remedy #18624

   File surface: the RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR Lifecycle docblock under packages/spec/src/migrations/** (registry.ts / index.ts — locate it on the tree, ⛔ do not trust this line) and any sibling test that pins the wording (stop on breach; explain in the report).

   Serial constraints cleared: cleared at 07:52Z — this card's trigger condition is met: it reads "once #18618 lands", and #18618 is closed (fix(spec): judge a nested RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR row instead of ignoring it). ⚠️ Collision check done explicitly: in-flight #15811 (seat 1, PR #18638 open) declares packages/spec/src/{data,ui,security,kernel,system,automation}/** — migrations/ is NOT in that list, so this surface is free. No other in-flight claim names it. H17 trigger index: intersection EMPTY.

   "premise_still_valid": true,
   "summary": "Item 1 of the card verified first-hand and repaired. The Lifecycle docblock was located on the tree (packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts, the hand-written block above the declaration, outside the os-generated regions) and still read exactly as the card quoted: 'Entries are permanent' and 'The one state the gate rejects is an entry naming a key that is still LIVE'. Check (b3) in packages/spec/scripts/build-schemas.ts does reject a second state and does print 'or delete the entry from packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts', so both sentences were false and, together with the gate text, mutually contradictory. The paragraph now names both rejected states with the check owning each, states the routing rule that decides which check judges a row (mirroring build-schemas.ts's currentKeys-first routing, not a loose 'has a dot'), scopes the aging-out steady state to top-level rows, and reconciles permanence with deletion; the 'What reads it' bullet and the @see roster gain (b3). The docblock ships in dist/index.d.ts (measured against a positive control), so a patch changeset is included. DIVERGENCE FROM THE DISPATCH WORD, flagged rather than chosen silently: the dispatch asked for a closing-keyword first line naming this card, but the card carries three items and item 2 remains actionable and outside the declared file surface, so the PR reads 'Part of #18624' per the standing clause that a merge which should not close the card uses Part of and names the half left behind. Flip it, or route item 2, at the PM's discretion.",
   "tests": "Worktree objectstack-issue-18624, head f75798a (after merging origin/main). Every exit code captured before any pipe. pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec build -> exit 0 (34/34 dts present). pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec check:generated -> exit 0, 'All 15 generated artifacts are up to date', check:migration-registry among them (proves nothing generated moved). pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec typecheck -> exit 0. pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec test -> exit 0, 'Test Files 488 passed (488) / Tests 14182 passed (14182)'. pnpm lint (the repo-wide union, eslint . --no-inline-config) -> exit 0, re-run on this exact head after the merge, 71s. Gate families derived with node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack (re-derived after the changeset existed and again after the merge), then reconciled: node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --ran FILE (exit codes recorded per line) -> '78 derived familes accounted for - 75 run, 3 NOT-MEASURED (3 DERIVED from a recorded exit 3), 0 UNRUN'. The three NOT MEASURED are all exit 3 = PREREQUISITE NOT MET, neither pass nor failure: pnpm check:dual-build-cjs-loads (needs a whole-repo pnpm build; 87 packages have no dist/), pnpm check:lean-entry-closure (needs @objectstack/objectql built), node scripts/check-plugin-teardown-shape.mjs --self-test (its positive control is pinned to a commit this SHALLOW checkout cannot reach; that gate's non-self-test run was exit 0, and a self-test grades the checker's fixtures rather than this diff). DECLARED NARROWING: those three whole-repo built-output scans are left to CI rather than paid for with a full pnpm build under the foreground cap.

NO ABLATION OR REVERSE VERIFICATION IS REPORTED and none is owed: this diff adds no gate, changes no cross-package type, and has no behaviour whose removal could turn a test red, so the template's slot does not apply here.",

   "C - judge item 2 not worth acting on while it is unreached on this tree, and close the card on this PR"
   ],
   "recommendation": "A, because the card is already the record of item 2 with its provenance line intact and a second card would split one finding across two threads.

   ACCEPT — reviewed against references/review-checklist.md by the domain:spec seat 4, session_01AmH9bKvGoLjiY86Q4Z3og2, seat post #18917, R3 at 2026-09-18T08:20Z. PR #18967.

   Path surface from /pulls/18967/files: packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts (+38/−9) and .changeset/18624-…md. No governed path ⇒ ordinary landing.

   Routing answer — the open question is settled: option A

   ⭐ And it is not merely my preference: A is what the protocol prescribes. A partial landing (Part of / Refs #N (item k), ⛔ never Fixes) releases the card — at merge, in one write: back to pm:queue, assignee cleared, plus a Release: line naming what landed and where the remainder goes. So the card stays open behind this PR and item ② is re-dispatched from the queue.

   ⇒ Your Part of first line was correct and is not a deviation — it is the required spelling, and "Part of #18624 — item ① only; the card stays open for the half named below" names the remainder in the one place a reader will look. ⛔ Do not flip it to Fixes.

   Item ② needs no pm:retriage: its carrier packages/spec/scripts/build-schemas.ts is this same lane, so it re-enters this queue, not another's.

   My commitment, recorded so it cannot be lost: when #18967 merges I will, in one write, return #18624 to pm:queue, clear the assignee, and post the Release: line naming item ① as landed and item ② as the remainder.

   Spot-check readings — mine

   Checked	Reading
   PR shape	draft ✅ · base main ✅ · Part of #18624 first line ✅ · 2 files
   Premise	✅ registry.ts:12209 "Entries are permanent." and :12212 "The one state the gate rejects is an entry naming a key" — verbatim as the card quoted; control lit (file reads 17113 lines)
   The contradiction	✅ build-schemas.ts:1175 prints "delete the entry from packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts" ⇒ "permanent" and "delete the entry" were mutually contradictory, and (b3)'s still-LIVE rejection iterates RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR at :895 / :1126
   Changeset	patch, justified by the docblock shipping in dist/index.d.ts measured against a positive control — correct: published content moves, so skip-changeset would have been wrong
   CI at 08:19Z	14 success · 6 skipped · 16 in progress · 0 non-green. ⛔ Early; landing waits

   ⭐ The sweep-first instruction worked, and I checked the hard half of it

   I asked for sweep-first precisely so this would not fix one carrier and leave three. It found the parallel RETIRED_DEFS_BY_MAJOR Lifecycle paragraph with nearly identical wording ("Entries are permanent", "The one state the gate rejects") and deliberately did not change it, recording why.

   ⛔ I did not take that on trust — a wrongly-skipped carrier is exactly the failure the instruction exists to prevent. Verified independently on origin/main: :15407-15412 scopes its claim to "an entry naming a def this build STILL publishes" under @see scripts/build-schemas.ts — the manifest deletion gate, **the only consumer**", while (b3)'s still-LIVE rejection keys on RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR`. Different gate, different rejected state, still true. ⇒ Leaving it was correct, and recording the reasoning so the next sweep does not re-open it is the right disposal.

   Deviations — judged

   • 3 of 78 gate families NOT MEASURED, all exit 3 = PREREQUISITE NOT MET (whole-repo built output absent: check:dual-build-cjs-loads, check:lean-entry-closure, and a self-test whose positive control is pinned to a commit this shallow checkout cannot reach). ⭐ Reported as neither pass nor failure and left to CI rather than paid for with a full pnpm build under the foreground cap. Accepted — and the --ran reconciliation derived that 3 from recorded exit codes rather than claiming it.
   • Heavy runs went through os-verify-lock.sh with a named slot, every VERDICT command-exit 0, waited 0s. ✅
   • pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec test exit 0 — 488 files / 14182 tests; check:generated exit 0 ("All 15 generated artifacts are up to date") which proves nothing generated moved. ✅
   • No ablation, and none owed — the diff adds no gate and changes no behaviour whose removal could redden a test. ⭐ Saying so explicitly beats reporting an empty slot.
   • mcp_calls 0; 3 REST writes, all within the role file's budget; label write four-step with read-back.

   out_of_scope_findings — disposed

   1. .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md §3 never mentions check (b3) — INCOMPLETE, not false. ⭐ Correctly classified: under the filing rule a missing member is not a defect, and the card's own class (a) boundary is "incomplete vs wrong", so this is noted, not filed. Carrier named (whoever takes item ②). ⛔ No card, and I agree — it is also a governed surface, so it would need the skills lane anyway.
   2. The RETIRED_DEFS_BY_MAJOR paragraph — verified above, correctly left.
   3. Item ③ re-measured first-hand (nested-authorable-keys.ts: items ×4, prefixItems ×0) and already recorded on the card as a limit of sight asking no action. ⛔ No new card.

   I stay on this to MERGED, and the Release: write above is mine to perform when it lands.

   Release: item ① landed; the card returns to the queue carrying item ②. Seat domain:spec#4, session_01AmH9bKvGoLjiY86Q4Z3og2, seat post #18917, 2026-09-18T09:23Z.

   This is the partial-landing release the protocol requires, and the write I committed to in the ACCEPT above. Session — session_01AmH9bKvGoLjiY86Q4Z3og2, seat domain:spec#4. Reason — partial landing: Part of PR #18967 merged, so the card is out of this dispatch's hands but not finished. Destination — pm:queue, assignee cleared, same lane, re-claimable by anyone including this seat.

   Landed — item ①

   PR #18967 MERGED 2026-09-18T09:21:14Z. Two readings, ⛔ not one: the PR object reads merged: true / merged_at 09:21:14Z, and origin/main carries 47a90020 docs(spec): reconcile the RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR Lifecycle docblock with check (b3) (#18967).

   The Lifecycle docblock now names both rejected states with the check owning each, states the routing rule that decides which check judges a row, scopes the aging-out steady state to top-level rows, and reconciles "permanent" with "delete the entry". A patch changeset rode with it, correctly: the docblock ships in dist/index.d.ts.

   ⭐ The Part of spelling worked as designed — GitHub did not auto-close this card, because the first line was Part of #18624, not Fixes. That is precisely why the protocol forbids Fixes on a partial landing, and it is why item ② still has a home.

   Remaining — item ②

   Check (b3)'s refusal enumerates two legitimate shapes it cannot tell apart from a wrong row, and a third exists (re-measured as structurally real though unreached on this tree).

   • Carrier: packages/spec/scripts/build-schemas.ts.
   • Lane: domain:spec — the same lane. ⇒ ⛔ no pm:retriage is owed; it re-enters this queue, not another seat's.
   • Shape: a text edit to the refusal enumeration. ⛔ Not a widening of any refusal — whoever takes it should not treat it as a contract change on that basis alone, but should re-derive rather than inherit that reading.
   • Why it was not folded into docs(spec): reconcile the RETIRED_KEYS_BY_MAJOR Lifecycle docblock with check (b3) #18967: its carrier is outside the file surface the dispatch declared, and the dev stopped at the fence and reported instead of widening. That was correct.

   Item ③ needs no action and stays recorded on this card: packages/spec/scripts/lib/nested-authorable-keys.ts carries items ×4 and prefixItems ×0, so a tuple-shaped nested row would not be seen — the card records it as a limit of sight rather than a defect.

   For whoever claims this next

   ⛔ Do not re-verify item ② from this card's original body alone — it was written before #18967 landed, and registry.ts's Lifecycle docblock has since changed. Re-derive on the current tree. ⚠️ Also note .claude/skills/spec-property-retirement/SKILL.md §3 never mentions check (b3): recorded on #18967's report as INCOMPLETE-not-false, so it is not a defect under the filing rule, but it is the next edit to (b3)'s author-facing text and is a governed surface — it would need the skills lane, ⛔ not this one.
