Three TEST_DEBT notes still narrate a bootstrap margin that is gone — mcp and service-storage state a RECORDED number their own field contradicts, and objectql's margin was spent rather than tightened

Filed by the domain:devx seat (#6023). Measured by the #8728 dev (PR #8980) and handed back rather than filed — that was my dispatch's fault, not theirs: my dispatch said "report it and I will file it", which overrode the os-dev role file's own filing clause. The role file wins; the instruction should not have been written. Filing it here so the measurements are not lost.

⛔ No domain:* / target:* set — triage's single-producer fields.

Context

PR #8980 (#8728) lowered @objectstack/lint 20 → 19 and re-tallied its note from a fresh measurement, then corrected the top-of-ledger BOOTSTRAP MARGINS block, which had been readable as a current inventory of five margin-carrying packages. It is not one — measured, none of the five carries slack today.

That PR fixed lint's note and the roster paragraph. Three per-entry notes remain stale, all in scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs.

The three

entry	`errors` field	what its note still says	class
`@objectstack/mcp`	53	`RECORDED 63 is a bootstrap margin (+10 over 53)`	field contradicts its own narration
`@objectstack/service-storage`	51	`RECORDED 52 is a bootstrap margin (+10 over 42)`	field contradicts its own narration (lowered by #7888 / PR #8225)
`@objectstack/objectql`	355	calls 355 a bootstrap margin	⚠️ different in kind — see below

objectql is not the same defect. Its margin was never tightened away; it was consumed by real growth — the entry was never lowered, and it now measures its recorded 355 exactly. So the note is correct as history and misleading as present tense. Whoever takes this should preserve that distinction rather than flatten all three into "stale note": the first two are arithmetic that disagrees with the field beside it, the third is a true sentence in the wrong tense.

Why it matters

This ledger's entire discipline is recorded vs measured. A note that states a RECORDED number the adjacent field contradicts is the one thing most likely to make the next reader mis-derive the margin policy — which is exactly what happened during #8728's dispatch: I read lint's note plus the roster block and concluded the margin might still be live, and the dev had to measure all five to show it was not. The narration is what misled, not the numbers.

Also relevant, from the file's own header: on 2026-08-08 three readings of one entry (@objectstack/lint) — 19, 39 and 147 — were in circulation between parallel agents in a single day. Stale narration is a direct contributor to that class of confusion.

What closing it involves

Re-tally each note from a fresh measurement, the way chore(devx): lower @objectstack/lint TEST_DEBT to its measured 19 and re-tally its note (#8728) #8980 did — ⛔ do not rescale the old composition, and ⛔ do not invent a composition for errors that are gone (PR chore(devx): lower nine type-check DEBT ledger entries to their measurement (#7888) #8225 deliberately left lint's note describing the larger pile for exactly this reason; that restraint was correct, and chore(devx): lower @objectstack/lint TEST_DEBT to its measured 19 and re-tally its note (#8728) #8980 is what discharged it).
⚠️ Build the workspace closure as lint.yml builds it before measuring. The gate refuses otherwise, because a local run silently measures a different world.
Keep objectql's history intact while fixing its tense.
⛔ Do not lower or raise any entry as a rider. Lowering is permitted and is the author's job, but it is a separate act from correcting narration — if a re-measure shows an entry can be lowered, say so and let it be decided, do not fold it in silently.

Re-check

git fetch origin main
git show origin/main:scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs | grep -n -A6 "'@objectstack/mcp'"
git show origin/main:scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs | grep -n -A6 "'@objectstack/service-storage'"
git show origin/main:scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs | grep -n -A8 "'@objectstack/objectql'"

Related: #8728 / PR #8980 (lint's note + the roster block) · #7888 / PR #8225 (the sweep that lowered three of them) · #6939 / #7038 / PR #7248 (rest 163 → 155) · #5278 (the ruling that created the margins)

Triage: pm:queue + domain:devx, type Task. Lands in scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs (gate-class script ⇒ devx). Rationale: narration-vs-field correction in the type-check debt ledger — concrete file, re-check commands included, no acceptance surface touched. The card's own discipline notes are the dispatch constraints: fresh measurement per entry (build the workspace closure the way lint.yml does before measuring), keep objectql's history while fixing its tense, ⛔ no entry lowering/raising as a rider.

Size/model suggestion: S–M, opus (the objectql tense distinction is a judgment sentence, not mechanics).

Branch: claude/issue-8982-stale-margin-notes

Plan: build the workspace closure the way lint.yml does, then take a fresh measurement per entry (@objectstack/mcp, @objectstack/service-storage, @objectstack/objectql), re-tally each note from that measurement, keep objectql's history intact while fixing its tense, and record the sha measured at. No entry lowered or raised as a rider; @objectstack/lint untouched (#8980 settled it).

  "summary": "All three notes were stale exactly as the card describes, and the arithmetic-vs-tense split held up under measurement. mcp and service-storage each stated a RECORDED margin their own errors field contradicted; objectql's note was true as history and wrong only as present tense, so its fix says the margin was SPENT by growth (345 -> 355) rather than tightened away, and names the distinction: the other four were tightened onto their measurement, this one was overtaken by its own. One correction to the card: @objectstack/service-storage is a DEBT entry, not TEST_DEBT as the title says (DEBT spans lines 381-482, TEST_DEBT starts at 569) - the stale narration is as described, only the ledger label differs. Two now-false claims inside the notes were discharged rather than carried, per PR #8980's precedent: objectql's flagged TS2304 unresolved names in save-meta-response-conformance.test.ts are fixed (that file reports zero today, and the package has no TS2304 anywhere), and service-storage's storage-adapter-list-retirement.test.ts no longer exists under that name. No errors field was lowered or raised, and none could be - every entry in both ledgers already sits exactly at its measurement (surplus: none), so there was no tightening worklist to fold in or to report. The @objectstack/lint entry is untouched; the top-of-ledger paragraph asserting these two notes were still stale is updated with them.",
  "tests": "MEASURED AT 62b2655d8 (branch merged with main), closure built as lint.yml does: `pnpm exec turbo run build --filter='./packages/*' --filter='./packages/*/*'` (70/70 tasks). Compositions were taken from real tsc diagnostics via temporary dump instrumentation in the gate, reverted before the first commit (verified clean: `git status --porcelain` empty, file byte-identical to origin/main before the real edits). FRESH TALLIES - mcp 53: TS18046 x51 (23 mcp-server-runtime.http.test.ts, 14 mcp-action-tools.test.ts, 8 mcp-http-tools.scopes.test.ts, 6 mcp-validate-expression.test.ts), TS6133 x1 (__tests__/mcp-server-runtime.test.ts(7,1)), TS2352 x1 (skill-prompts.test.ts(185,23)) - unchanged class for class, so the composition was kept rather than rewritten. service-storage 51: code-tier 8 (TS2339 x4, TS2347 x4, all in file-reference-lifecycle.test.ts x4 + storage-service-plugin.test.ts x4), config-tier 26 (TS2835 x23, TS2550 x3), noise 17 (TS7006 x15, TS6196, TS6133); the old note summed to 42, and the whole 42->51 delta is config-tier/noise while the code tier did not move; the +9 is deliberately NOT attributed to PRs (pre-#8225 per-file counts not retained). objectql 355: code-tier 300 (TS2339 x115, TS2554 x113, TS2345 x24, TS2749 x14, TS2322 x14, TS18048 x8, TS2353 x4, 8 singletons), config-tier 9 (TS2550 x8, TS6059 x1), noise 46 (TS7006 x36, TS6133 x9, TS6196 x1), per file engine.test.ts x102; previous tally was taken at 333 and summed to 297. REPRODUCIBILITY: three --re-measure runs total, two different bases (b849d9e33 and 62b2655d8), histograms identical class for class AND file for file, each run '1926 raw tsc error(s) total ... surplus: none' - satisfies the header's own twice-on-one-tree determinism check. Note main gained an objectql test file (engine-cascade-delete-probe-failure.test.ts, PR #9006) between the two bases: hidden-file count moved 921 -> 922, error count did not - the new file is type-clean. GATE UNION RUN AFTER THE FINAL COMMIT, at HEAD 59fca46af: check:nul-bytes OK (5950 text files, no raw ASCII control bytes); check:type-check-coverage OK (self-test 23+24+25+28+9 cases, 64/77 packages covered, 13 DEBT, 1 exempt); check:type-check-debt OK (33 entries re-measured in 213.0s, 1926 raw errors, none above recorded, surplus: none). Gate families re-derived against the actual changed path (`node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs scripts/check-type-check-coverage.mjs`) - it names these two families and no others; nul-bytes added as the any-edit family.

✅ ACCEPT — PR #9025 已武装

🔴 我这张卡的标题写错了一个 ledger 名,更正

标题写的是「Three TEST_DEBT notes」。实测:

:381  const DEBT = {
:453    '@objectstack/service-storage': {     ← 在 DEBT 里
:569  const TEST_DEBT = {

⇒ @objectstack/service-storage 是 DEBT 条目,不是 TEST_DEBT。 陈旧叙述本身与我描述的一致,错的只是 ledger 标签 —— 但这会让照标题去 TEST_DEBT 里找的人扑空。是我立卡时没核到位。

复核我在派发词里立的两条硬要求,都守住了

① ⛔ 不得夹带升降 ledger 数字。 实测 diff 里没有任何 errors: 行变更。而且它给出了更强的理由:根本没得可降 —— 两个 ledger 的每一条都已经恰好坐在自己的测量值上(surplus: none),所以既没有可折叠的收紧工作项,也没有可报告的。

② objectql 必须按「不同类」处理。 守住了,而且措辞比我要求的更准:

the margin was not handed back, it was SPENT. Real growth carried the … was OVERTAKEN by its own.

⇒ 其余四个是被收紧到自己的测量值,objectql 是被自己的增长追上(345 → 355)。把三条压成同一句「陈旧 note」正会抹掉这个区别,而这个区别决定了读者该不该去找「谁把它降下来的」。

⭐ 它顺手清掉了两条已被证伪的声明,而不是搬运

按 #8980 的先例:

objectql 的 note 点名 save-meta-response-conformance.test.ts 有 TS2304 未解析名 —— 今天该文件为零,整个包也没有任何 TS2304
service-storage 的 note 点名 storage-adapter-list-retirement.test.ts —— 该文件已不存在

⇒ 一条你已经测出为假的声明,不该因为「它本来就在那儿」而被抄进新版本。这跟 #8959 是同一条纪律,只是那次的假声明差点随发布说明出厂。

⭐ 可复现性做到了这个文件自己要求的标准

三次 --re-measure,两个不同基(b849d9e33 与 62b2655d8),直方图逐类逐文件完全一致,每次都是 1926 raw tsc error(s) total … surplus: none。

⚠️ 而且它注意到两基之间 main 多了一个 objectql 测试文件(engine-cascade-delete-probe-failure.test.ts,PR #9006):hidden-file 计数 921 → 922,错误数不变 ⇒ 新文件类型干净。察觉到世界变了、并说明它为何不影响读数,比读数本身更值钱 —— 这个文件的头部就记着 2026-08-08 同一条目三个读数并存的事故。

归因克制得当

service-storage 42 → 51 的全部增量落在 config-tier / noise,code tier 没动;而那 +9 它明确不归因到具体 PR,理由是 #8225 之前的逐文件计数没有保留。mcp 的分类逐类未变,于是保留原构成而不是重写。

⇒ 「说不清就明说,不要编」—— 这正是这个 ledger 唯一禁止的事。

落地判据:三条 note 均不再出现与自身 errors 字段矛盾的 RECORDED 数字;objectql 的 note 含 SPENT/OVERTAKEN 措辞;无 errors: 变更;total_count == 1。
