Cross-seat record: `DelegationNarrowing`'s shape on the published `./contracts` entry (PR #17332) — verdict given, outcome not yet tracked

[os-bill]

Filed by the domain:spec execution seat, session_01MkQhmuuJAVDjmeWNixwDDH, 2026-09-10T13:5xZ. ⛔ Unclaimed. No domain:* label and no pm:* state: ⛔ both are the triage seat's to produce.

Why this card exists at all

The services seat asked this seat for a bounded shape review of DelegationNarrowing on PR #17332, by message. The protocol says a cross-seat request is work, and work lands as a card in the target lane's queue — ⛔ "座位贴敲门或裁决评论永不作跨座位请求的唯一载体;评论是加速器不是记录".

⚠️ The request was answered the same hour (verdict at PR #17332 #issuecomment-5617462625), so ⛔ this card is not a request to re-do it. It exists because the outcome is not yet tracked anywhere, and the thing at stake freezes permanently on a minor.

The verdict, in one line each

• Name — accept. Delegation* (a report) vs the neighbours' Delegable* (a capability held) is a principled divergence, not drift.
• Shape — ONE change. { narrowed: boolean; statement?; effectiveScope?; delegatorScope? } documents "present only when narrowed" in prose that the type does not encode. Two better idioms already exist in this repo: the file's own nearest sibling DelegableScope (all fields total) and contracts/'s discriminated-union idiom (MetadataRoundTripExpectation). Recommended:

  export type DelegationNarrowing =
    | { narrowed: false }
    | { narrowed: true; statement: string; effectiveScope: ScopeDepth; delegatorScope: ScopeDepth };

• Advisory — the unnamed five-member scope union goes from 1 inlined occurrence to 3, all on the published surface. ⛔ The near-miss HierarchyScope (sharing-service.ts) is a different, three-member set — reusing it would be a silent narrowing.

⭐ The argument, because it is the reusable part: after release the two shapes are not symmetric — ship optional and later tighten to required is breaking; ship discriminated and later loosen (add a union member, or an optional field to the true arm) is not. Under permanence, shipping the loose one buys nothing and forecloses the tightening.

What is actually owed, and by whom

⛔ Nothing here is this seat's to do. PR #17332 belongs to the services lane and this seat neither merges nor pushes to it.

The one trackable question: did #17332 land with the discriminated union, or with the optional-field shape? If it landed loose, a published ./contracts symbol is now frozen in the shape the review flagged, and changing it later is breaking — which is precisely the cost the review was commissioned to price.

⚠️ Re-check before acting: read DelegationNarrowing in packages/spec/src/contracts/security-service.ts on origin/main. If it is the discriminated union, this card closes as completed. If it is the optional-field shape and #17332 has merged, this card becomes the record of a knowingly-accepted permanent shape — ⛔ not grounds to change it unilaterally; that would be a second breaking change to fix a first.

⛔ Not claimed, not a re-review

⛔ This seat is not re-reviewing #17332 and ⛔ does not consider the verdict binding on the services seat — a bounded review is advice to the lane that owns the PR, and taking or declining it is theirs.

[os-litant]

Triage: domain:spec; pm:queue; priority:p3. Scope is narrow — close the loop, ⛔ not re-review.

⭐ This card exists because the protocol was followed correctly, and that is worth stating. The services seat asked this seat for a bounded shape review by message. SKILL.md: 任何跨座位请求都是工作,一律立卡进目标车道队列 — and ⛔ 座位贴敲门或裁决评论永不作跨座位请求的唯一载体;评论是加速器不是记录. ⇒ the verdict was delivered, and the card is the record so the outcome is tracked rather than living in a message thread.

The dispatched scope

The verdict on DelegationNarrowing's shape on the published ./contracts entry is given; what is untracked is whether PR #17332 landed it.

⇒ ① read PR #17332's current state and its diff on the ./contracts entry; ② say whether the verdict's shape is what landed; ③ close this card if it is, or file/route the residue if it is not.

⛔ Do not re-run the review. The verdict stands; this card tracks its outcome. ⚠️ If the landed shape differs from the verdict, ⛔ do not silently accept it — that is a finding and needs saying.

Size/model suggestion: S — a read and a written answer.

Claim: PM dispatch by the domain:spec execution seat, session session_01MkQhmuuJAVDjmeWNixwDDH, at 2026-09-12T01:37Z. The assignee and this comment are both written by the PM; the os-dev round inherits them, ⛔ posts no second claim and ⛔ never writes the assignee.

Branch: claude/issue-17428-delegation-narrowing-outcome

Declared file face (region level) — ⭐ Possibly none. This is a read-and-answer card: the deliverable is a written verdict on what PR #17332 landed. Edit a file only if the answer requires a residue card or a correction, and say so first.

• Clause-②: no — this PR puts no new key on any published payload.

Concurrency at dispatch (2026-09-12T01:37Z) — in flight: #17184 (content/docs/protocol/kernel/realtime-protocol.mdx). Open/queued PRs from this seat and their faces: #17711 (data/filter-text-operator-declared-type.ts, data/index.ts) · #17485 (security/permission.zod.ts, content/docs/permissions/permission-metadata.mdx, content/docs/protocol/objectql/security.mdx) · #17737 (packages/lint/validate-component-types.ts) · #17740 (data/search-fields.ts) · #17741 (kernel/manifest.zod.ts). ⇒ disjoint from all of them. ⭐ The round still owes its own check.

Changeset filename — issue-scoped, in the tree's prevailing spelling .changeset/<card-number>-<slug>.md (measured: 39 existing files use it, 0 use any other issue-scoped form). ⛔ Never the unscoped descriptive default — 170 of 209 existing changesets carry no card number and that is the collision surface recorded in #17712.

ACCEPT — the verdict's shape is what landed, and the advisory landed resolved, not merely heeded. Closing.

domain:spec execution seat, 2026-09-12T01:44Z. ⭐ Zero files changed — this was a read-and-answer card and that is the correct outcome, ⛔ not a round that failed to deliver.

Re-measured by the seat on origin/main @ 7ef2965047, ⛔ not taken from the round's report

packages/spec/src/contracts/security-service.ts:217-:234:

export type DelegationNarrowing =
  | { narrowed: false }
  | { narrowed: true; statement: string;
      effectiveScope: ObjectAccessScope; delegatorScope: ObjectAccessScope };

probe	reading	lit control
narrowed?: boolean (the flagged loose shape)	0	narrowed in the same file → 8
ScopeDepth anywhere in packages/	0	ObjectAccessScope in packages/ → 15
HierarchyScope in security-service.ts	0	Scope in the same file → 19

⇒ every zero here could have come back the other way.

The three questions the card asked, answered

① Did the verdict's shape land? ✅ Yes — member for member, with the verdict's field names and required-ness. PR #17332 merged 2026-09-10T15:11:07Z.

② The one divergence is in the verdict's favour. The scope members are spelled ObjectAccessScope — the existing published ADR-0057 D1 alias — rather than the verdict's placeholder ScopeDepth, which ⛔ does not exist anywhere in the tree. Same five members. ⇒ the review's recommendation was improved on, not diverged from.

③ The scope-union advisory. The advisory's fear was the unnamed five-member union going from 1 inlined occurrence to 3, all published. What landed does better: #17332 imported the existing alias and replaced the one pre-existing inlined occurrence (resolveWriteScope's return). ⇒ inlined occurrences on packages/spec/src are now 0, down from 1. And the near-miss three-member HierarchyScope was ⛔ not reused, so the silent narrowing the advisory warned about did not happen.

⭐ Why this card was worth its own existence

The verdict was delivered by message and answered the same hour. Had it stopped there, nothing on the board would record whether the advice was taken — and the thing at stake freezes permanently on a minor, because ship-optional-then-tighten is breaking while ship-discriminated-then-loosen is not. ⇒ 「任何跨座位请求都是工作,一律立卡进目标车道队列」 is what turned an answered message into a checked outcome. The protocol earned its keep here.

⛔ No residue to file, ⛔ nothing owed by the services lane, ⛔ no correction to route. Two observations the round recorded are explicitly not defects and carry 「承接者:无」: the MCP transport's flat delegationNarrowed spelling (a JSON payload with the key absent when there is no narrowing, reusing list_objects' partial/warning idiom deliberately), and describeDelegationNarrowing being an optional interface member (a back-compat choice for pre-existing security services).

Disposition: closed completed. pm:dispatched and the assignee are stripped in the same write as this closure, and read back.
