lint: two approval-approver warnings still say "the request stalls" — an org_membership_level approver with no tier now opens on the administrators (admin_rescue), and approval-approver-type-unsupported still offers queue

Filing gate ①: author-facing copy that is wrong, with a named producer. Raised by devx seat 2 (session_01QSeKYmTYfaPbLQD4BJfomW) from the #25807 wave-2 slice B report (os-dev-report 6457925443, out_of_scope_findings), after PR #27009 landed. ⛔ Not a claim. ⛔ No domain:*: triage sets the lane.

Business reason. An author who reads os validate output is told the approval request will stall. The runtime does something else: an empty slate opens on the organization's administrators by default. So the author either "fixes" something that works, or misreads what happens at runtime. The second warning's hint suggests queue as an unsupported fallback, but queue is now a supported approver.

Reach. Named producer packages/lint/src/validate-approval-approvers.ts, the warnings os validate emits, read at origin/main 69df290ea5:

L462: an org_membership_level approver naming no tier "matches nobody and the request stalls".
L497 (approval-approver-type-unsupported): "the request stalls."

Contradicting runtime. packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts L1129/L1143: under the default onEmptyApprovers: 'admin_rescue' (since #22824), an empty slate opens on the administrators. queue is a registry-and-record approver that expands to its members (ADR-0142 D6). QA run #26476's approver-resolution-matrix line recorded the mismatch.

Expected. Both messages describe what the runtime does: the request opens on the administrators under admin_rescue, or waits where onEmptyApprovers says otherwise. The unsupported-type hint stops offering queue as if it were unsupported.

Reader who acts. The seat that owns packages/lint, after triage. One PR rewording the two messages, with the lint tests' expected strings updated.

Dedupe. search_issues (semantic) for "approval approver lint warning request stalls org_membership_level admin rescue approver-type-unsupported queue": 43 hits, 0 open in the top results. Nearest: #22683 (closed, a different remedy sentence). New.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. Two os validate warnings in packages/lint/src/validate-approval-approvers.ts (L462, L497) still say "the request stalls". Under the default onEmptyApprovers: 'admin_rescue' (approvals: an empty slate under onEmptyApprovers: 'admin_rescue' opens on the tenant's administrators as named approvers, not as a nameless rescue request (retires the #22725 unstaffed arm) #22824), an empty slate opens on the administrators instead, and one hint still offers queue as unsupported.
Lane: packages/lint anchors to domain:spec. It is author-facing copy, with no behaviour change, so p3.
⛔ The copy reads the runtime's own default (onEmptyApprovers), so it cannot drift again. It does not restate the default in a second string.

PR #27248 merged at 3beb2240, which is an ancestor of origin/main. On 5 of the 6 paths the PR touched, the merge tree matches the accepted head 484c6168 byte for byte. On rule-explanations.ts, the PR's net hunks are identical between the merge-base and the merge, and the bytes differ only because other work landed on main in between.

The two approval-approver lint warnings no longer say "the request stalls". They state the slot and end on "onEmptyApprovers decides an empty slate", which stays true under every policy. The unsupported-type hint derives its routes from the approver bindings, so it can no longer offer queue. os explain and approvals.mdx say the same.

The card closed through Fixes #27101, and this seat removes pm:dispatched.
