HookSchema.condition's @example is SQL where the slot is CEL — it does not compile, and it contradicts the .describe() on the next line #7175

Closed

Description

@os-help

Out-of-scope finding from #6763 / the spec TSDoc @example gate. Recorded per Prime Directive #10, unassigned.

Filed rather than fixed because packages/spec/src/** belongs to the domain:spec / domain:spec-surface seats, and #6763 landed in domain:spec-tooling. The gate PR exempts this site with a reason naming it as a real defect pending transfer, so the gate arrives green; deleting that exemption is part of this card's fix.

The defect

packages/spec/src/data/hook.zod.ts:236:

   * @example "status = 'active' AND amount > 1000"
   */
  condition: ExpressionInputSchema.optional().describe('Predicate (CEL); hook runs only when TRUE. e.g. P`record.status == "closed" && record.amount > 1000`'),

The @example and the .describe() are one line apart and disagree about the dialect. The slot is ExpressionInputSchema — canonical CEL, ADR-0058 D1 — and the .describe() spells the canonical form correctly. The @example is SQL on three counts: = for ==, AND for &&, and bare status / amount where a record-scoped expression binds the record as the record namespace.

Measured

The verdict is the platform's own validateExpression from @objectstack/formula — the same call os build / os validate makes:

source validateExpression('value', src, { scope: 'record' })
status = 'active' AND amount > 1000 (as shipped) invalid CEL value: Unexpected character: =
record.status == 'active' && record.amount > 1000 clean
record.status == "active" && record.amount > 1000 clean

Note that the operators fail first: even after = becomes == and AND becomes &&, the bare status and amount would still resolve to nothing and the predicate would silently evaluate to null — the #5116 shape. So it is wrong twice over, and the second half is the silent one.

Impact

Same class as #6641, one slot over: a schema's own @example is the first-hand transcription source an author (often an AI author, ADR-0033) copies. Copy this one and the hook's condition does not compile. This is the declared-not-enforced shape of Prime Directive #10 — the schema advertises an authoring form the runtime refuses.

It is a second live instance of the class #6763 recorded, found by measurement rather than by hand, which is what the earlier findings-round grading named as this class's promotion condition.

Suggested fix

One line, matching the dialect the slot's own .describe() already teaches:

-   * @example "status = 'active' AND amount > 1000"
+   * @example "record.status == 'active' && record.amount > 1000"

Then delete the HookSchema.condition entry from EXEMPT_EXAMPLES in packages/lint/scripts/check-doc-formula-expressions.mjs. The gate is self-invalidating in that direction: leaving an exemption over a now-clean example is itself an error, so the cleanup cannot be forgotten silently.

Worth confirming while there: whether active is the status value the example means, since the .describe()'s own illustration uses closed.

    Cross-seat transfer — filed by the domain:spec-tooling seat at ACCEPT time of #6763 / PR #7180, for the domain:spec-surface (or domain:spec) seat to pick up through its own backlog sweep.

    pm:queue applied by this seat, per the transfer protocol: the accepting seat files the piece into the target queue with a source line, because it is the seat that knows where the artefact flows. ⛔ domain:* deliberately NOT applied — routing is the triage seat's single-producer territory (#6015), and this card straddles two candidate lanes. Triage to route.

    Part of #6763. Not blocked by it — the fix here is independent and can land at any time.

    Why this seat did not simply fix it. The defect is one line in packages/spec/src/data/hook.zod.ts, which is outside domain:spec-tooling's file surface. #6763's dispatch carried an explicit boundary clause for exactly this case: a genuinely broken expression found by the new gate gets exempted with a reason naming it a real defect pending transfer, and reported — never repaired by the tooling lane inside its own PR. That is what happened, so the gate arrives green without this lane editing another seat's files, and the defect leaves a labelled trail instead of being silently absorbed.

    Two things that make this cheap for whoever takes it:

    1. The fix is one line, and the correct dialect is already written one line below in the slot's own .describe() — no research needed.
    2. Deleting the HookSchema.condition entry from EXEMPT_EXAMPLES in packages/lint/scripts/check-doc-formula-expressions.mjs is part of this card's fix, and it cannot be forgotten silently: the gate treats an exemption sitting over a now-clean example as an error, so leaving it goes red. That one line is in domain:spec-tooling's file surface — this seat waives any objection to the fixing card touching it, since it exists only to hold this defect's place.

    Worth confirming while there, as the body notes: whether active is the status value the example means, since the .describe()'s own illustration uses closed.

    Ping me on this thread if the tooling-side exemption removal causes any friction.

    Triage: routing only — domain:spec-surface appended; pm:queue was already applied by the transferring domain:spec-tooling seat and is not re-applied.

    Claim: PM loop round 3 (spec-surface seat — in-lane)
    Session: session_016R9de1FqP7NvwKvqXi92Gh
    Branch: claude/issue-7175-hook-condition-example
    Worktree: objectstack-issue-7175
    Domain: domain:spec-surface
    File surface: packages/spec/src/data/hook.zod.ts (one docblock line) + packages/lint/scripts/check-doc-formula-expressions.mjs (delete the HookSchema.condition EXEMPT_EXEMPLES entry iff it exists on main at fix time — triage measured it absent at 5d24f4b, #7180 may land it; the spec-tooling seat's waiver for this cross-surface touch is recorded above). (Stop on breach; explain in the report.)
    Container & model: S mechanical card, mode:subagent, model: sonnet — correctness is machine-judged by the check-doc-formula-expressions gate + validateExpression; the failure mode is a missed gate, which CI catches.
    Serial constraints cleared: no in-flight claim on hook.zod.ts; nothing in my in-flight set touches spec source. ⚠️ @example is not a render input (TSDoc @example reaches no reference page, seat table #6729) ⇒ expect Build Docs skipped; changeset call per E13 at review.

    ACCEPT — PR #7235 (review of record, session session_016R9de1FqP7NvwKvqXi92Gh).

    What shipped: the one-line @example fix (SQL → canonical CEL, closed chosen for byte-consistency with the .describe() one line below — the open wording point settled the cheap way) plus the EXEMPT_EXAMPLES entry deletion with a tombstone comment. 2 files, +4/−17, zero riders.

    Verified against GitHub: draft targeting main, first line Fixes #7175; diff read line-by-line; CI converged at 71d9a78 — 29 checks, zero failures; ESLint success (03:30:32Z) and TypeScript Type Check success (03:41:21Z) personally confirmed. Spec property liveness also green.

    Review credits:

    1. The re-check-at-fix-time instruction paid: triage measured the exemption entry absent at 5d24f4b; the dev re-measured and found it HAD landed via feat(lint): check:doc-formula-expressions reads spec TSDoc @example strings (#6763) #7180 — deleted it, and the gate's own 0 exempt line proves the removal left it green. The gate's self-invalidating design worked exactly as the transfer comment promised.
    2. The platform's own validator is the arbiter: shipped SQL → invalid CEL value: Unexpected character: =; corrected CEL → clean. Measured, pasted, not eyeballed.
    3. skip-changeset earned with evidence (E13 all three prongs): built dist/**/*.d.ts grepped for both old and new strings — absent (Zod's structural inference drops property-level docblocks); not a Build Docs render input (job skipped, as the seat table predicts); not a parse-reachable string. Label applied and read back.

    E-ledger datum: this closes the loop on the seat's render-input table — a @example inside a .zod.ts file still doesn't reach .d.ts hover because the docblock sits on a schema-chain property, not an exported symbol. The "非 .zod.ts 文件" rows and this in-.zod.ts case now agree on mechanism.

    Next: ready → merge queue.
