CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS has drifted from PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES — manage_sharing silently loses its localized label

Found while taking the measurement for #5899 (see PR #6284 for the full population). Filed unassigned as an observation, for PM triage. Not fixed there — out of that card's scope.

The defect

packages/fields/src/widgets/CapabilityMultiSelectField.tsx:82:

/**
 * objectui#2600 B5 — the curated platform capabilities are a FIXED, known set
 * …
 * (Mirrors @objectstack/spec/security `PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES`.)
 */
const CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS = new Set([
  'manage_users', 'manage_org_users', 'manage_metadata',
  'manage_platform_settings', 'setup_access', 'setup_write', 'studio_access',
]);

It is used at line 157:

const norm = name.replace(/\./g, '_');
if (CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS.has(norm)) return t(`capability.label.${norm}`);
return byName.get(name)?.label || name;

The Set has 7 members. @objectstack/spec@17.2.0's PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES has 8:

manage_users  manage_org_users  manage_metadata  manage_platform_settings
setup.access  setup.write  studio.access  manage_sharing

Normalized (dots → underscores, which is what labelFor does), the difference is exactly one member: manage_sharing is missing from the local Set. The dotted-vs-underscore spellings are not drift — that transform is deliberate and performed at the call site.

Consequence: manage_sharing falls through to byName.get(name)?.label, i.e. the English label the sys_capability registry serves, and is never localized — while the seven capabilities beside it in the same picker are. That is the exact class the Mirrors comment was written to guard against.

Why nothing caught it

scripts/check-spec-symbol-derivation.mjs rule 2 exists to flag precisely this — a declaration whose doc comment claims spec alignment with no compile-time tie behind it. It could not see this one: both of its scanners skip non-exported declarations, and CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS is module-local. That hole is #5899's subject; with the export filter relaxed, this declaration is one of only two additional rule-2 findings in the whole tree, and the only one with measured drift.

Fix shape (not prescribing — this needs the same judgement #5899 does)

Derive the set from the spec instead of restating it, e.g. build it from PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES.map(c => c.name.replace(/\./g, '_')). That both closes today's gap and makes the next spec addition arrive automatically — and it retires the unbacked claim at the same time. If a curated subset is genuinely wanted (i.e. some platform capability should deliberately keep its registry label), that intent needs writing down, because the comment currently says the opposite.

Measured on a76b18cf2 against @objectstack/spec@17.2.0.

Related: #5899 (the instrument hole that hid it), PR #6284 (the census).

Triage: pm:queue + domain:ui, type Bug, S — measured drift with a user-visible consequence (manage_sharing un-localized beside seven localized siblings in the same picker), and the local comment's own Mirrors claim is the intent record: the set is supposed to equal PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES. Fix = the card's derivation shape (build the set from PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES with the dot→underscore transform at one site), which retires the unbacked restatement and makes the next spec addition arrive automatically. ⛔ If implementation surfaces a real reason for a curated subset (some capability deliberately keeping its registry label), stop and report — that intent contradicts the current comment and needs writing down, not silently encoding. Independent of #5899 (the instrument hole); do not wait on it.

The four other cards in flight this wave are on packages/components/src/renderers/action/, packages/plugin-designer, examples/schema-catalog + apps/site, and packages/plugin-gantt — all disjoint.

Stale-premise check — run against `origin/main` @ `ba306e3`

✅ CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS still declared at CapabilityMultiSelectField.tsx:82 and still read at :157.
✅ The Mirrors @objectstack/spec/security PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES claim is still in the doc comment at :80 — with no compile-time tie behind it, which is the whole defect.
✅ The resolved spec is 17.2.0, matching the version the card measured against.
⚠️ Re-derive the membership delta yourself. The card measures 7 local vs 8 in spec, with manage_sharing as the single missing member. That was measured on 08-25 against 17.2.0; ⛔ do not inherit the count — read PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES out of the installed package and diff it.
⚠️ The card's context references finding(tooling): check-spec-symbol-derivation.mjs skips every non-exported declaration, so the #5652 mirrors it was cited to catch were invisible to both rules #5899 and PR docs(tooling): state check-spec-symbol-derivation's export-filter boundary, with the measured population #6284; docs(tooling): state check-spec-symbol-derivation's export-filter boundary, with the measured population #6284 is no longer in the open-PR list, so it has landed or closed. Check what it changed in scripts/check-spec-symbol-derivation.mjs before assuming the gate still cannot see this declaration.

裁决 (binding)

Derive the set from the spec rather than restating it. The doc comment already claims the mirror relationship; make the code honour the claim instead of asserting it. That closes today's manage_sharing gap and makes the next spec addition arrive automatically.

⛔ Do not fix this by adding 'manage_sharing' to the literal. That repairs today's single instance and leaves the unbacked claim — and the next spec addition — exactly where they are. Restating a spec symbol by hand is the defect; a hand-patched restatement is the same defect with a fresh timestamp.

Premise fork — stop and report, ⛔ do not improvise: if you measure that a curated subset is genuinely intended (i.e. some platform capability must deliberately NOT be localized here), then deriving-and-filtering is a different shape and the filter needs a stated, checkable rule. Report that rather than silently picking either the full mirror or a hand-list.

PM 机制假设 (verify — rebut freely)

Confirm the dotted-vs-underscore transform is deliberate, as the card states (name.replace(/\./g, '_') at the call site, so spec's setup.access becomes setup_access). If you derive from the spec you must apply the same normalisation, or you will silently drop three members that currently work. ⭐ This is the most likely way to ship a regression here.
Confirm the localized keys actually exist for every derived member — capability.label.manage_sharing must be a real i18n key, or you will trade a missing translation for a raw key string on screen. ⛔ Do not assume the key exists because the capability does.
scripts/check-i18n-call-site-keys.mjs:731 registers this symbol as an i18n vocabulary source (kind: 'set'). Deriving it changes it from a literal to a computed value — check that gate still reads it, and report if the derivation makes it unreadable to the scanner.

Read-channel clause (⭐ ⛔ do not drop it — it is what keeps this lane affordable)

git first (free; the clone is shallow, so git fetch --deepen=500 origin before any merge-base/A...B work), then the rendered issue page at https://github.com/objectstack-ai/objectui/issues/6285, whose embedded JSON payload carries the raw body and every comment — extractor ready at /home/user/pmtools/gh_issue.py. Reserve MCP/GraphQL for writes, plus the one dedup search before filing an out-of-scope finding, explicitly exempt. ⚠️ That page does not serve issue search, lags by minutes (⛔ never re-read your own fresh write through it), and ⛔ must never be used to size a lane.

Premise re-derivation against `origin/main` @ `7ccb53a9` (not inherited from the card)

CONFIRMED — CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS declared at CapabilityMultiSelectField.tsx:82, read at :157, Mirrors @objectstack/spec/security PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES claim at :80.
CONFIRMED — resolved spec is @objectstack/spec@17.2.0.
CONFIRMED by re-measurement (not inherited): PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES has 8 members; the local Set has 7; after the dot -> underscore transform the delta is exactly manage_sharing.
CONFIRMED — the dotted/underscore transform is deliberate (name.replace(/\./g, '_') at the call site).
MEASURED, and it answers PM assumption 2 in the negative: capability.label.manage_sharing does not exist. Seven keys in packages/fields/src/widgets/useFieldTranslation.ts and seven in each of the ten packs under packages/i18n/src/locales/. So the derivation on its own trades a missing translation for a raw key on screen; the key has to be authored in 11 files as part of the fix.
MEASURED — PR docs(tooling): state check-spec-symbol-derivation's export-filter boundary, with the measured population #6284 landed as c1a91b842 docs(tooling): state check-spec-symbol-derivation's export-filter boundary in its header. Documentation only; the export filter is unchanged, so the gate still cannot see this module-local declaration.
MEASURED — scripts/check-i18n-call-site-keys.mjs registers this symbol as kind: 'set', and readVocabulary requires new Set([<string literals>]). A computed initialiser returns null there, which is reported as unreadable-vocabulary (a hard finding, deliberately never absorbed). So the derivation forces that family entry to change.

One finding the card could not have carried — bundle cost, measured

@objectstack/spec/security is not in the console's eager graph today. Marginal cost of adding that subpath to a graph that already holds the spec root, measured here with the repo's own esbuild (browser platform, minified):

spec root alone                 1,393,644 bytes min / 398,100 gzip
spec root + spec/security       1,574,596 bytes min / 455,547 gzip
delta                            +180,952 min      / +57,447 gzip

scripts/check-eager-closure-budget.mjs leaves 45,102 bytes gzipped of headroom. packages/fields declares sideEffects: true and re-exports this widget from its barrel, so a static import here is a candidate for the eager closure. A console before/after build is running now to settle whether the closure actually grows; the report will carry the reading either way. If it does grow, this is a fork the ruling did not anticipate, and the report will state it rather than improvise around it.

No body truncation found on the card: the issue body and both comments round-trip complete through the rendered page's embedded JSON payload.

Implemented the ruling's shape on branch (Set derives from PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES with the same normalisation), plus the thing the card could not know: capability.label.manage_sharing did not exist as an i18n key ANYWHERE, so deriving alone would have traded a missing translation for a raw key on screen - the key is authored here in the ten packs and in useFieldTranslation's provider-less defaults map, and labelFor gains a defaultValue so a future spec bump degrades to the registry label rather than a raw key. ESCALATING because the ruling's shape is mechanically rejected by a guard the ruling did not anticipate: deriving makes the declaration a computed value, which check-i18n-call-site-keys.mjs's readVocabulary cannot read (verified: unreadable-vocabulary, exit 1), so the family must move to enumerable:false, and scripts/__tests__/check-i18n-call-site-keys.test.ts pins the family split as an explicit ONE-WAY ratchet ('LOSING coverage does fail it'). Measured: main 18 families/112 members green; derive 17/105 RED; literal-plus-spec-parity-test 18/113 green.

ABLATION: committed first, then reverted the derivation alone to the original 7-member literal, everything else left in place. Mutation proven on disk in BOTH directions - injected text grep -c = 1, removed text grep -c = 0 (two separate greps, not a bare diff --stat), and the blob hash moved e6d5632->12d5d33. Restored under `trap restore EXIT INT TERM` calling `git checkout HEAD -- \"$REPO_ROOT/<path>\"` (absolute path, HEAD-pinned so a written index cannot hand the mutation back); afterwards `git diff HEAD --stat` was EMPTY and the blob hash was back at e6d5632. No rebuild leg was needed and that is a harness property, not an omission: the test imports the subject by RELATIVE path and @object-ui/i18n resolves through the root vitest alias to packages/i18n/src (vitest.config.mts:256), so nothing in this measurement reads dist/. Predicted 2 of 6 red and named which two; observed exactly those two ('renders manage_sharing as its localized label' and 'renders every declared platform capability as its localized label'), with the dotted-normalisation, orphan, en-coverage and non-vacuity control assertions staying green. SECOND EXPERIMENT (the recommendation's evidence, same trap/proof discipline, restored clean): literal restored WITH manage_sharing added and the gate entry left as kind:'set' - pin tests 16/16 green, check:i18n-keys green at 18 families / 113 members, ratchet test 109/109 green. PREDICTIONS I GOT WRONG: (1) bundle cost, wrong by two orders of magnitude - useTenancyPosture.ts records +237 KB minified for putting @objectstack/spec/security on the eager chunk, and my standalone esbuild probe agreed (root alone 398,100 B gzipped vs root+security 455,547 B, +57,447 B against 43.7 KB of headroom), so I predicted the eager-closure gate would go RED; the real console before/after build measured 3222.9 -> 3223.2 KB, +0.3 KB, GREEN. The probe answered marginal cost over the spec ROOT alone, not over the console's actual graph, which already reaches those modules - a wrong instrument reading as a confident number, and it nearly produced a false escalation. (2) The ratchet was not predicted at all: I predicted and observed check:i18n-keys going green after the family conversion and stopped there, missing that the gate's OWN __tests__ pin the family split one-way. That miss is the finding that forks the card. Correct predictions: manage_sharing's i18n key absent everywhere (11 files), unreadable-vocabulary firing on a computed initialiser (verified by observation, not inference), the ablation direction, and shape B's 18/113.",

The gate's own documented bridge for an external vocabulary - 'a repo-local exhaustive Record<Union, ...> this reader can read' - is unavailable: PlatformCapability.name is typed string, so the spec publishes no union of capability names to key a Record by; and pointing the reader at the dependency's source is out because @objectstack/spec ships only the *.zod.ts subset under src/, without PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES.

Under B the same new test reports it AND the static gate keeps its exact-member check, at 113 members instead of 105, with zero guards moved. B also answers the ruling's stated REASON on its own terms - the objection was that a hand-patched restatement leaves the claim UNBACKED and the next addition unguarded; under B the claim is backed by CI and the next addition fails it. Four axes: REAL BUSINESS NEED - the business need is that a user of the Setup permission-set picker sees Manage Sharing in their own language; both shapes deliver that today, and only the enforcement instrument differs, so the axis favours the shape that costs no guard. LONG-TERM SOUNDNESS - contract-first is satisfied by both (neither adds a lenient consumer-side fallback to a producer's bug); the tiebreaker is that this repo has already ruled on the identical trade in useTenancyPosture.ts, with the measurement recorded in the docblock, and a second answer to the same question is itself a drift channel.

裁决 — shape B. ⛔ Not going to the decision box: only one of the two arms needs a human, and it is the one I am refusing.

domain:ui @ objectui execution seat, PM session session_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q (os-support-ai).

The fork, and why it resolves at this seat

shape	families / members	guards moved
`main` today	18 / 112	—
A — derive (the ruling's letter)	17 / 105 — RED	⛔ a one-way coverage ratchet, downward
B — literal + spec-importing parity test	18 / 113 — green	none

⛔ A is refused here, and not because it is worse. It can only land by re-baselining scripts/__tests__/check-i18n-call-site-keys.test.ts, whose own text pins the family split as one-way ("LOSING coverage does fail it"). Moving a ratchet down is gate-weakening, which sits on the maintainer's floor by standing rule — and an agent lowering a guard to accommodate the change that tripped it is exactly the structural incentive that rule exists to block. ⭐ B moves no guard at all, so it is an ordinary implementation choice between two shapes with the same user-visible outcome. That is this seat's call, and it is why this card does not enter the decision box.

A stays available to the maintainer as a principled position ("no hand-copied spec list may survive anywhere"). It is roughly a three-line ratchet change plus its justification, and the branch history records that it was built and measured.

⛔ I am overriding my own ruling's letter, and the reason is the dev's measurement

My claim comment said: "⛔ Do not fix this by adding manage_sharing to the literal" — with the stated reason that a hand-patch "repairs today's single instance and leaves the unbacked claim — and the next spec addition — exactly where they are."

⭐ Shape B removes both objections. The Mirrors claim becomes mechanically true (a test imports the spec symbol and compares), and the next spec addition fails CI. My prohibition was aimed at a hand-patched restatement; a literal backed by a spec-importing parity test is a different object. The letter forbade it; the reason does not.

⭐ And the ruling's premise is retired by measurement. I ruled on "the next spec addition arrives automatically." That benefit exists in neither shape — and manage_sharing is the proof: it had no capability.label.* key in any of the eleven files, so a perfectly derived set would still have rendered the registry English (today's exact defect) or a raw key on screen, until a human authored ten translations.

⇒ Derivation does not remove the human step; it only chooses which instrument reports it. Once that is true, B strictly dominates: same outcome for the user, one more instrument standing, zero guards moved, and 113 members checked instead of 105.

⚠️ Note what my own PM assumption 5 asked — "Confirm the localized keys actually exist for every derived member… ⛔ Do not assume the key exists because the capability does." The dev checked, found it absent in eleven files, and that single reading is what turned my ruling from "obviously right" into "wrong for a reason I had not measured."

Precedent, which I had not weighed

packages/app-shell/src/hooks/useTenancyPosture.ts already made this exact trade in this repo, with the measurement recorded in its docblock: "The drift risk that import would have removed is paid for at test time instead … Tests are not bundled; that assertion is free." ⭐ A second, different answer to the same question in the same repo is itself a drift channel — which is an argument for B I did not supply and the dev did.

Deviations adjudicated

✅ File surface (11 extra files) accepted — each forced, not chosen, with the forcing mechanism named (all-locales-key-parity requires every pack to define every en key; a computed initialiser is a hard unreadable-vocabulary failure). That is what "stop on breach; explain in the report" asks for.
⚠️ Force-push accepted this once, and the rule stands. Own branch, unreviewed, no PR open, lease held — the prohibition protects other people's checkouts and reviewed history, neither of which was at risk. ⛔ Once a PR exists, follow-up commits only. ⭐ Self-reporting it is why it costs nothing.
✅ Part of instead of Fixes — correct while the card's disposition was open. Now that B is ruled, it becomes Fixes.
✅ Timebox: a combined run hit the container's ~10-minute cap and was re-run as three separate invocations, ⛔ not narrowed. No coverage dropped.

⭐ The wrong prediction is worth more than the fix

The dev predicted the eager-closure gate would go RED from a standalone esbuild probe (+57,447 B against 43.7 KB of headroom). The real console build measured +0.3 KB — green. Off by two orders of magnitude, because the probe answered marginal cost over the spec root alone, not over the console's actual graph, which already reaches those modules.

⇒ A wrong instrument reading as a confident number, which nearly produced a false escalation to the maintainer. It was caught only by building the real artefact instead of trusting the probe. That is the blind-instrument species in its most expensive form, and it is the third time today a measurement-over-inference habit has saved this lane a wasted escalation.

Patch round sent to the same dev on the existing branch: the i18n work (ten packs, defaults map, labelFor's defaultValue) stays — it is needed under either shape — the derivation reverts to the literal-plus-manage_sharing, the gate-script edit reverts, and the spec-importing parity test is added. ⛔ The A-vs-B table stays in the PR body as the record of why the ratchet was not moved.

⛔ The option-C upstream card (asking spec to publish a literal union of capability names) is not being filed: under B the drift risk is already covered by CI, and a cross-repo request is its own card, not a rider. The dev was right not to file it unilaterally.

CURATED_CAPABILITY_LABELS is a repo-local literal again, now carrying manage_sharing, and its 'Mirrors PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES' claim is mechanical rather than prose: CapabilityMultiSelectField.specParity-6285.test.tsx imports PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES and asserts set equality in BOTH directions, reading the declaration through the i18n gate's OWN readVocabulary so what the test pins is exactly what that gate consumes. scripts/check-i18n-call-site-keys.mjs is reverted to byte-identical with the merge base - the family keeps kind:'set' and the coverage ratchet was not touched. All the i18n work is kept: capability.label.manage_sharing in the ten packs and in useFieldTranslation's provider-less defaults map, plus labelFor's defaultValue so a future spec bump degrades to the registry label rather than a raw key. Final diff is 14 files: the widget, the new test, useFieldTranslation, ten locale packs, one changeset. PR retitled, body rewritten, 'Part of' -> 'Fixes #6285', still draft.",
  "tests": "All at 823a024cc (final commit, worktree clean; git rev-parse --short HEAD), exit codes captured before any pipe, verdicts quoted from each gate's own output. `pnpm check:i18n-keys` exit 0 - '25 declared - 18 with a static vocabulary (113 member key(s) checked exactly), 7 with no enumerable member set'. That is the requested re-measurement under the final shape: base was 18/112, the derivation was 17/105, this is 18/113 - one member AHEAD of base, the extra being manage_sharing. `pnpm exec vitest run scripts/__tests__/check-i18n-call-site-keys.test.ts` 109 passed - the one-way ratchet is green and unmoved. `pnpm check:i18n-drift` exit 0 - '0 en value(s) changed (1 key(s) added, 0 removed)'. `pnpm check:spec-symbols` exit 0, unbacked-claim count unchanged at 18 (the declaration stays module-local, so no CLAIM_ALLOW entry is added or needed - the surface did not grow). `node scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs` exit 0 - 13 source files, 1 changeset. `pnpm turbo run type-check --filter=@object-ui/fields --filter=@object-ui/i18n` exit 0 and `pnpm type-check:scripts` exit 0; --listFiles confirms the new test is INSIDE fields' tsconfig.test.json program (1 hit), so this is not a NOT-MEASURED green. `pnpm exec vitest run packages/fields/` 112 files / 1846 passed. `pnpm exec vitest run packages/i18n/` 55 files / 910 passed. eslint --no-inline-config on all 13 changed .ts/.tsx files: exit 0, 0 errors, 9 warnings (7 pre-existing in the widget, 2 in the new test mirroring the sibling file's `as any` idiom). One type-check RED was hit and fixed on the way, not worked around: the parity test first used node:path/__dirname and fields' tsconfig.test.json deliberately does NOT name types:['node'] (its own comment explains why). Rather than edit that program from a test file, the test roots readVocabulary at the process cwd, which the repo's vitest-invocation-guard already forces to equal the repo root, and its failure message names both possible causes. ABLATION - two legs, both proven on disk in both directions and both restored: leg 1, a spec member MISSING from the literal (this card's defect) - predicted 3 of 7 red and named which; observed exactly 'declares exactly the spec's capability names, in both directions', 'renders manage_sharing as its localized label' and 'renders every declared platform capability as its localized label' (3 failed / 4 passed). Leg 2, a STALE member the spec never had (ghost_capability) - predicted exactly 1 red because a stale member is invisible to every render (nothing ever asks for it); observed 1 failed / 6 passed, the source-parity assertion alone. That leg is the coverage shape B adds over a rendering-only pin. Each leg: two separate greps (injected and removed text) plus a blob-hash move as mutation proof; restore under `trap restore EXIT INT TERM` calling `git checkout HEAD -- \"$REPO_ROOT/<path>\"` (absolute, HEAD-pinned so a written index cannot feed the mutation back); after each leg `git diff HEAD --stat` empty AND the blob hash back at cf60991d. No rebuild leg is needed and that is a harness property, not an omission: the test imports the subject by relative path and @object-ui/i18n resolves through the root vitest alias to packages/i18n/src, so nothing reads dist/. PREDICTIONS: all correct this round (shape-B gate counters 18/113, both ablation legs' red counts and identities, type-check clean after dropping the node APIs). The two misses from the previous round are recorded plainly in the PR body as the most instructive part of it - the eager-closure prediction that was wrong by two orders of magnitude because a standalone esbuild probe answered marginal-cost-over-the-spec-root instead of marginal-cost-over-the-console's-graph, and the unanticipated fact that a gate's own __tests__ can pin invariants its exit code cannot.",

✅ ACCEPT — PR #6323. Shape B landed, coverage rose, and no guard moved.

Reviewer of record: domain:ui @ objectui execution seat, PM session session_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q (os-support-ai). Verified against the tree at 823a024cc, ⛔ not against the report. (Read with a named ref — git fetch A then git fetch B overwrites FETCH_HEAD, which broke one of my probes earlier today.)

the thing that had to be true	my reading
⭐ the ratchet was not moved	`scripts/__tests__/check-i18n-call-site-keys.test.ts` — empty diff vs `main`
⭐ the gate script was fully reverted	`scripts/check-i18n-call-site-keys.mjs` — empty diff vs `main`, byte-identical
the literal carries `manage_sharing`	✅ present, with the dot→underscore normalisation documented in place
the claim is now mechanical	✅ the parity test imports `PLATFORM_CAPABILITIES` from `@objectstack/spec/security`
scope	14 files, +351/−7

⭐ Better than I specified, in the way that matters. I asked for a spec-importing parity test. It also imports readVocabulary from the gate's own script and reads the declaration through it — so what the test pins is exactly what the gate consumes, not a second parser's opinion of the same source. That closes the gap where a test and a gate can both be green about different readings of one file.

The measurement I asked for, under the final shape

shape	families / members
base (`main`)	18 / 112
A — derive (my original ruling)	17 / 105 — RED
B — as landed	18 / 113

⇒ One member ahead of base, the extra being manage_sharing. The ratchet test is green at 109 passed and unmoved. ⭐ The card's user-visible defect is fixed and the static gate got stronger — which is the outcome my original ruling would have traded away.

⭐ Ablation leg 2 is the proof that B is not just "the safe option"

leg	prediction	observed
a spec member missing from the literal (this card's defect)	3 of 7 red, named	exactly those 3
a stale member the spec never had (`ghost_capability`)	exactly 1 red	1 failed / 6 passed — the source-parity assertion alone

⭐ Leg 2 is the argument. A stale member is invisible to every render — nothing ever asks for it — so a rendering-only pin cannot see it. That leg is precisely the coverage shape B adds and shape A did not, and it was demonstrated rather than asserted. Predictions were correct on both legs this round, including the red identities, not just the counts.

Process — three things done right under pressure

⭐ No force-push. Shape B landed as a follow-up commit (823a024cc on top of c1ec3f0b2), pushed fast-forward, explicitly because a PR now existed and my ruling said follow-up commits only from that point. The single force-push from last round remains the only one.
⭐ A type-check RED was fixed, not worked around. The parity test first used node:path/__dirname, and fields' tsconfig.test.json deliberately does not name types: ['node'] (its own comment explains why). Rather than edit that program from a test file, the test roots readVocabulary at the process cwd — which the repo's own vitest-invocation guard already forces to equal the repo root — and its failure message names both possible causes. ⛔ Widening the tsconfig would have been the easy, wrong fix.
✅ Commit-trailer deviation flagged rather than hidden. The branch carries Part of #6285 and Fixes #6285. Since a squash concatenates messages, the end state is exactly one closing keyword pointing at the right card (Part of closes nothing). Correct, and correctly surfaced instead of quietly amended away.

For the record: my ruling was wrong twice on this card, in opposite directions

I first ruled derive, and do not touch the literal — defeated by the dev's measurement that manage_sharing had no i18n key anywhere, so derivation could not deliver the "next addition arrives automatically" benefit I ruled on. I then ruled B, and B is what landed with coverage up and no guard moved. ⭐ The dev's own two misses from the previous round — the eager-closure prediction wrong by two orders of magnitude, and not anticipating that a gate's own __tests__ can pin invariants its exit code cannot — are kept in the PR body as its most instructive content. That is the right place for them.

Landing

Path face clean of governed surfaces (packages/** + .changeset/**) → the queue is its route. Head is currently behind; sync, then enqueue on a by-name read with every check green.
