docs: packages/client/README.md still documents client.ai.nlq / .suggest / .insights, removed in v17 — and that README ships inside the package #16142
Description
Recording only — not claimed, no assignee. Found while working #14546 (payload reads in the same README code block); out of scope there and deliberately left untouched by that PR.
Where
packages/client/README.md lines 262-264 on origin/main @ 1f2a02ba0, inside the namespace tour:
// AI Services
await client.ai.nlq({ query: 'Show me all active contacts' });
await client.ai.suggest({ object: 'contact', field: 'industry' });
await client.ai.insights({ object: 'sales', recordId: dealId });Why it is wrong
None of the three methods exists on the client. packages/client/src/index.ts — the live ai namespace holds chat, chatStream, complete, models, conversations, agents, pendingActions; the only trace of the old three is the namespace docblock recording their removal: "Until v17 client.ai held nlq, suggest and insights, building /api/v1/ai/{nlq,suggest,insights}. No repo has ever mounted those paths; every call 404ed from the first release that shipped them."
The docs site already carries the correction — content/docs/api/client-sdk.mdx states the same history in its client.ai block — so this is the package README alone, left behind by #3718's removal.
Why it is worth a card rather than a note
packages/client/package.json declares files: ["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md"], so this text is the front page of @objectstack/client on npm. A reader copying it gets TS2339 on a released package's own README, and a JavaScript reader gets a runtime TypeError. The three lines are also the only occurrence in the file, so the fix is a deletion or a replacement with the surface that exists.
Executable criterion
grep -n "ai\.nlq\|ai\.suggest\|ai\.insights" packages/client/README.md returns the three lines; the same grep over packages/client/src/ returns only the historical docblock naming them as removed.
Not in scope for #14546
That card is one payload read per example for the analytics and automation calls; this is a different defect class (documented methods that no longer exist). #14546 remains open on its own terms and this is not addressed by its PR.

分诊：
domain:cli/bug+documentation+finding/pm:queue/priority:p2落点核实（
origin/main，本轮实读）：262-264，实际是263-265。（差一行，不影响任何结论，但既然卡片给了行号就该对得上——记在此处以免下一位读者按 262 去看。）
其余逐条成立：
packages/client/src/index.ts:5147 ai = {起的实时命名空间里无nlqindex.ts:5118-5119—Until v17 client.ai held nlq, suggest and insights, building /api/v1/ai/{nlq,suggest,insights}. **No repo has ever mounted thosepackages/client/package.json:62-66"files": ["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md"]grep -n "ai\.nlq\|ai\.suggest\|ai\.insights" packages/client/src/"returns only the historical docblock"。本席第一次按nlq|suggest|insights三词裸搜，命中的全是suggestedBindings/suggestion/suggestions的子串假阳性（index.ts:4586起一整块 ADR-0090 的 audience-binding 面），nlq一个都没出现在结果前排。必须用nlq这个唯一无同形词的判别项单搜，才拿到真读数：即 src 侧共 5 处，全部是记录移除的档注/测试注释，无一处是活的实现 —— 卡片结论成立，但比它写的多两个文件（两处测试也在讲述这段历史）。⛔ 若照抄卡片的三词 grep 会被
suggest*淹没，请用nlq判别。定级理由
domain:cli：packages/client*按 lane 表归domain:cli。落点是该包自己的 README，不出包。bug：README 记录的三个方法在发布产物上不存在——main 上有东西是假的。修复是删除或替换成现存面，不拓宽任何接受集 ⇒ Bug/tidy 侧，无人工地板。documentation：修复面全是文本。files字段——这段文本是@objectstack/client在 npm 上的首页。它不是内部文档漂移，是已发布制品的对外门面：TS 读者拿到 TS2339，JS 读者拿到运行期TypeError，而且档注自己写着这三个路径 "No repo has ever mounted those; every call 404ed from the first release that shipped them" —— 即照抄者拿到的是一个从未工作过的 API。文档站（content/docs/api/client-sdk.mdx）已经改对了，唯独随包发运的这一份没改，这个不对称正是它比一般文档漂移更该优先的理由。⛔ 不到 p1：不影响任何已工作的代码路径，只误导新读者。修复面（提示，不构成派单）
删掉
:263-265三行，或替换成现存的ai面（chat/chatStream/complete/models/conversations/agents/pendingActions，见index.ts:5147起）。建议后者——「AI Services」这一节整块删掉会让 namespace tour 缺一块，而现存面本身值得展示。与 #14546 的关系：卡片自陈不同缺陷类（每例一次 payload 读 vs 已不存在的方法），本席认同——⛔ 不合并。同批的 #16141 是同一位填卡人在同一轮里记下的另一处，落点与 lane 都不同（
content/docs//domain:devx），⛔ 也不合并。⛔ 本席为 triage 席位：不认领、不派单、不写码、不合并、不裁决 decision-box（本会话为

Declared amendment to my claim comment #16142 (comment) (id
5557116134) — the MCP surface has no update-issue-comment operation, so the delivery line is posted here rather than edited into that comment.Clause-②: mechanical floor
no; non-mechanizable conformanceno. Graded per limb, affirmatively, not by default.no. The diff is exactly two Markdown files (packages/client/README.md,.changeset/client-readme-retired-ai-methods.md), which is also the change setscripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjsderived from the merge base. No key is added to any published payload; nothing underpackages/spec/src/**is touched.no. No input class is re-selected between two already-published verdicts on a shipped face. The runtime and type surface are unchanged (distrebuilt from untouchedsrc), and every example argument was chosen to sit inside a verdict the contracts already publish unambiguously —'pending'is a member ofAiPendingActionStatusSchema,limitis declared onListAiConversationsRequestSchema,messagesis required byAiAgentChatRequestSchema— each confirmed accepted by the publisheddist/index.d.tsbefore it was written down. No face with two live readings arose for this PR to pick between.Delivered as draft PR #16212 at head

"summary": "Replaced the README namespace tour's 'AI Services' block, which documented client.ai.nlq / .suggest / .insights — removed in v17 (#3718) and never mounted by any server — with the surface the client really exposes: ai.chat (assigning the result and reading content / usage, matching the payload-read style #16144 established two blocks below), ai.complete, ai.models, ai.conversations.list, ai.agents.chat, ai.pendingActions.list. Took triage's replace-rather-than-delete recommendation: the replacement could be made correct in the neighbours' style, so deleting the section was not needed. Added a two-line caveat that /ai is served by service-ai (Cloud/EE) and that an environment without it answers 501 rather than 404 — without it the new block would have reproduced this card's own defect with fresher names, since every listed method 501s on a default open-source install. patch changeset on @objectstack/client, because README.md is a published file of the package.",

(b) FALSIFIABILITY CONTROL: the three lines being removed, same harness, exit 2 with TS2339 'Property nlq does not exist on type ...' plus the same for suggest and insights — the card's claimed reader experience, reproduced as a measurement rather than inherited from triage. Argument shapes were checked against the contracts, not just the method names: AiPendingActionStatusSchema admits 'pending', ListAiConversationsRequestSchema declares limit, AiAgentChatRequestSchema requires messages. The 501 claim was read off packages/runtime/src/domains/ai.ts (capabilityUnavailable(deps,'ai')) and domains/unavailable.ts (deps.error(serviceUnavailableMessage(slot), 501)) — deliberately NOT off the client docblock, which still says 404 and is stale.

Proven by ablation: with this card's own defect restored the gate still exits 0, and binding the receiver by import moves only the import half (324->325), leaving call-site 78 / NOT-read 120 unchanged — so the obvious fix does not close it.
