[finding] serve's ready banner prints Config: objectstack.config.ts on an OS_ARTIFACT_URL boot, where no config was loaded

Observation-class finding, no behaviour change requested. Found while adopting the artifact-pinned boot (#8368) on the ObjectOS EE image (cloud#1292). Filed unassigned.

What happens

With OS_ARTIFACT_URL set, serve resolves the reference, sets useArtifactFallback = true, and loads { mod: { default: {} } } — the objectstack.config.ts in the cwd is deliberately never executed. The boot diagnostics say so plainly:

Artifact (OS_ARTIFACT_URL): http://127.0.0.1:41541/hotcrm-2.2.2.json [remote, sha256 verified]
Booting from the artifact named by OS_ARTIFACT_URL (default host)...

But the ready banner a few lines later still reports:

  Config:  objectstack.config.ts
  Mode:    production
  Driver:  SqlDriver(better-sqlite3)  → :memory:

printServerReady({ configFile: relativeConfig, … }) is passed relativeConfig unconditionally, and relativeConfig is derived from args.config at the top of run() — before the artifact branch is decided. So the row names a file that exists, was found, and was not read.

Why it is worth a line of code

The banner is the surface an operator uses to answer "what is this container actually running", and on this path that is the whole question the feature turns on — the two-axis model means the config in the image and the artifact in the env are different apps. A row that names the file that did not boot points the reader at the wrong one, and it does it on the same screen that just said the opposite. It cost a reading during the cloud-side adoption: the row is the first thing that looks authoritative, and the plugin table is what actually settles it.

The neighbouring precedent is #4801 (cloud#1020), where the banner's tenancy row disagreed with the runtime wiring and every later investigation paid for it.

Suggested shape

Report the artifact on this path instead of the config — the resolved display is already in hand (pinnedArtifact.display), already redacted for a pre-signed URL, and already printed by the diagnostic line above. Something like Artifact: <display> (OS_ARTIFACT_URL) in the Config: slot, or an added row with the Config: row omitted when useArtifactFallback is set.

Same for the plain artifact-fallback path (no config authored, dist/objectstack.json), where the row currently names a config file that does not exist.

Reproduce

objectstack build
OS_ARTIFACT_URL=file://$PWD/dist/objectstack.json objectstack serve objectstack.config.ts
# banner: Config: objectstack.config.ts   ← never loaded

Related: #8368, cloud#1292.

Triage (first-touch grading): promoted finding → pm:queue, domain:cli (lands on the packages/cli serve banner path), type Bug. Rationale: named landing site (printServerReady is fed relativeConfig unconditionally, decided before the artifact branch), repro included, and the misreport already cost a reading during the cloud-side adoption — precedent #4801 shows this banner-disagrees-with-wiring class is expensive downstream. The suggested shape in the card (report pinnedArtifact.display on the artifact paths, cover the plain artifact-fallback path too) is a suggestion, not a ruling.

Size/model suggestion: S, sonnet — mechanical, verified by the existing serve-path tests plus one banner assertion.

File surface: packages/cli/src/commands/serve.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/format.ts (+ their sibling tests) (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: sonnet — --tier reports no path-derived mandate; mechanical banner-row change, correctness decided by an assertion rather than by judgement, so the sonnet floor is the right tier. Clause ② not reachable from content (no accept/reject or public-surface change).
Serial constraints cleared: packages/cli is free this batch — the other two cards dispatched with it land in packages/cloud-connection (#9070) and packages/create-objectstack (#9263); no overlap. ⚠️ serve.ts is a three-way mutually-exclusive slot in this seat's hot-file queue (#8368 / #8985 / #8978) — #8985 is deliberately held back this round and must not be dispatched until this lands. No same-day churn: last touch of either file is 445ae4d (2026-08-16).

Premise re-verified on `origin/main` @ `68cd4e7` before dispatch: `relativeConfig` is derived at `serve.ts:937` and passed unconditionally as `configFile: relativeConfig` at `serve.ts:3418` — exactly the shape the card describes. The card is accurate.

Spot readings — the two load-bearing claims were verified, not accepted

"The docs-drift rows come from a pre-existing artifactSource, not my new field." True. artifactSource already exists on main (serve.ts:1780, start.ts:202+) as MetadataPlugin's boot-mode config option, and both flagged pages document that (artifactSource: { mode: 'local-file', path: … }), not the new ServerReadyOptions field. A symbol-name collision, correctly diagnosed. The release-owned page the bot also listed is untouched, as the guardrail requires.

configFile went from required to optional — does anything regress? Checked every caller rather than reasoning about it: exactly one production call site (serve.ts:3418); every other reference is a test that passes configFile explicitly, so the Config: row still renders for them. Nothing silently loses its row.

Both defect paths are covered, which was the ruling. resolveBannerConfigRow is a pure exported function with three branches, and the new pins assert all of them — including "never emits BOTH a configFile and an artifactSource", which pins the invariant rather than only the happy path. Reverse verification predicted the direction before running (7 of 8 red against unfixed code, 8/8 after).

⭐ One judgement worth endorsing explicitly. On the plain artifact-fallback path the row is omitted rather than filled with OS_ARTIFACT_PATH, because that value may itself carry credentials and no redacted display is in hand there. Printing it would have satisfied the card's literal suggestion and leaked secrets into an operator-facing banner. Choosing a missing row over a possibly-credentialed one is the right trade, and it is documented at the site.

Deviations

Report marker malformed. Both os-dev-report comments on this card are entity-escaped, so the machine-readable marker is absent and collection fell back to reading content. The report itself is complete and accurate; only the marker is affected. HTML comments are stripped or escaped on write — anything that must survive belongs in visible markdown.
A raw ESC control byte was materialised by the editing tool from an escape sequence in a new test file, and caught by check:nul-bytes before the commit. Self-caught, correctly handled.
Two non-required checks are red repo-wide right now (Check PR Size, Auto Label) from a codeload.github.com 429 incident affecting third-party action downloads. Neither is on this PR, and neither is in the ruleset's required set.

⇒ Flipping ready and enqueuing.
