os lint's naming/namespace-prefix reports a legitimate cross-package name reuse as an intra-package duplicate, contradicting the ADR-0048 §3.4 sentence in its own message #17821
Description
Symptom
os lint's intra-package duplicate advisory (naming/namespace-prefix, packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts) reads ONE flattened array per collection key and has no idea which package each item came from. On a composed multi-package stack the flattened array carries both packages' items, so two packages that each legitimately declare home are reported as one package declaring it twice — and the warning's own last sentence says the opposite.
The rule's in-code comment states the contract it is implementing:
ADR-0048 §3.4 retired the per-item CROSS-package throw: package ids are globally unique, so two installed packages shipping the same bare name (e.g.
page/home) legitimately COEXIST under distinct composite keys and each caller resolves to its own via package-scoped resolution. A bare name is therefore NOT a collision risk and must not warn on its own.
[…] We only see one package's config here, so the legitimate signal is a genuine duplicate(type, name)pair within it — never a unique bare name.
"We only see one package's config here" is false for a composed multi-package project, which is exactly the shape composeStacks(…, { manifest: 'preserve' }) emits.
Minimal repro — two packages, one bare name each
objectstack.config.ts, today's additive shape (flattened top level PLUS packages[], i.e. what the platform emits):
const appA = { name: 'home', label: 'Home A' };
const appB = { name: 'home', label: 'Home B' };
const obj = { name: 'ob_order', label: 'Order', sharingModel: 'private', nameField: 'number',
fields: { number: { type: 'text', label: 'Number' } } };
export default {
manifest: { id: 'com.example.a', name: 'a', version: '1.0.0', type: 'app', namespace: 'alpha', engines: { protocol: '^17' } },
apps: [appA, appB], objects: [obj],
packages: [
{ manifest: { id: 'com.example.a', name: 'a', version: '1.0.0', type: 'app', namespace: 'alpha', apps: [appA], objects: [obj] } },
{ manifest: { id: 'com.example.b', name: 'b', version: '1.0.0', type: 'module', namespace: 'beta',
dependencies: { 'com.example.a': '^1.0.0' }, apps: [appB] } },
],
};Measured through the real binary on origin/main c9eb773ba, os lint, exit 0:
Warnings (1)
⚠ App "home" is declared more than once in this package (also at apps[0].name). Two items of the
same type sharing a bare name within one package shadow each other on the registry key
(ADR-0048 §3.4) — rename one, e.g. "alpha_home". Distinct packages may reuse the same name
freely; the namespace prefix is an optional convention, not a collision-avoidance requirement.
naming/namespace-prefix at apps[1].name
The two declarations are in com.example.a and com.example.b. Nothing shadows anything: they occupy distinct composite registry keys, which is precisely what the message's own final sentence says. The prescribed remedy (rename one, e.g. "alpha_home") asks the author to rename a name that is already correct, and alpha_ is the namespace of the OTHER package.
Cause, located
packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts, the PREFIXED_TYPES loop:
const items: any[] = Array.isArray(stack[key]) ? stack[key] : [];One array, one firstSeen map, no package boundary. The reader never sees which packages[i] an item came from, so "within ONE package" cannot be evaluated at all — it is asserted by the comment, not computed.
Scope note
Measured in both ADR-0130 D4 shapes, with and without #17528's fold (which moves that read from config to the union-folded stack):
| stack shape | before #17528 | after #17528 |
|---|---|---|
| additive (today's emitted shape) | 1 false positive | 1 false positive |
packages[]-only (option B) |
0 (the family read an empty stack) | 1 false positive |
So this is pre-existing on the shape the platform emits today and independent of that card: #17528 only brings the option-B spelling into parity with the additive one, which is its acceptance. Filed separately rather than folded in, because the fix is not mechanical — the advisory needs per-item package attribution (or to run per package body, as compile.ts's step 3b-ii rule run already does), and which of those is right is a design decision, not a wiring detail.
Found while driving #17528's parity controls.
⛔ Deduplication: REST /search/* is refused by this session's egress proxy (HTTP 403, sessions are bound to their configured repositories — verified this session), so one targeted MCP search_issues over open and closed, channel switch declared. 4 results, all read. Positive control fired: #5510 and #17069 both returned. Nearest neighbours rejected: #5510 (closed — the SAME rule false-positiving, but on actions whose dedup key omitted objectName; an intra-package, per-object axis, and its fix is the registryKey hook that is still in the code), #17069 (closed — which stack the rule table is handed, not how this advisory interprets it), #16565 (open — docs about one app per type: 'app' package), #4698 (closed — declared-but-never-read metadata). No card names the cross-package attribution axis.

The order's correction of triage is confirmed by measurement, not assumed: the cause line is lint.ts:428 `const items: any[] = Array.isArray(stack[key]) ? stack[key] : [];`, and BOTH ADR-0130 D4 stack shapes false-positive on today's main (1 warning each through the real binary, exit 0), so the additive-only fix would have been half a fix. Ported the ruled shape rather than inventing one: compile.ts's `artifactPackages` + `packageBodyAsStack` move verbatim to packages/cli/src/utils/artifact-packages.ts and lintConfig calls the same pair, evaluating the advisory per package. Fewer than two packages keeps today's read verbatim (a stack with no `packages[]` is one package; with exactly one, the flattened top level is that package's collections and nothing else), which is what leaves single-package judgement byte-identical -- #17528's own parity pin holds the whole issue object equal across shapes and stays green. With two or more packages the path is written whole (`packages[1].manifest.apps[1].name`) so it resolves in either shape; a bare `apps[1]` would, on the additive shape, point at a different item than the one reported. The advisory is not silenced, narrowed, or opted out of anywhere: `compile.ts:118`'s fence is quoted in the code at the new call site.

FALSE-POSITIVE SIDE: card's repro, two packages each declaring `home` -- additive 1 -> 0; packages[]-only 1 -> 0; actions cross-package (one `log_call` on the same objectName per package) 1 -> 0. TRUE-POSITIVE SIDE (must warn before AND after): two `home` apps inside ONE package -- additive 1 -> 1; packages[]-only 1 -> 1; two same-named actions on one objectName inside one package -- 1 -> 1. The surviving true positive's prescription also changed from `alpha_portal` (the namespace of the package that does NOT own it -- the card's exact complaint) to `beta_portal`. PINS: packages/cli/test/lint-namespace-prefix-per-package.test.ts, 15 cases, both shapes, incl. actions cross-package and actions same-package, the HotCRM 5 objects x 3 actions shape inside one package of a two-package artifact (0 findings), and the GLOBAL_ACTION_OBJECT_KEY fallback per package.

Result: 12 of the 15 new pins RED (vitest exit 1 via the lock's VERDICT line) while BOTH pre-existing files (lint-namespace-prefix.test.ts, lint-handwritten-checks-package-fold.test.ts) stayed GREEN -- which is why the new file had to exist. ABLATION 2 (the silencing leg, direction predicted: true positives RED / false positives GREEN): early `return issues;` in duplicateNameIssues. On-disk proof: blob -> c8d25f034af9bd95881110b3682af5ef7db04873, injection observed at the intended anchor only (the second `const issues` site untouched). Result exactly as predicted: every TRUE-POSITIVE row red, every card's-repro row green -- the signature the fence forbids, and what the paired pin detects. RESTORE PROVEN on both legs: `git checkout HEAD -- packages/cli/src/commands/lint.ts` (never a bare `git checkout --`), blob back to 5c0e752d..., `git diff HEAD` empty. Both legs ran under a trap with absolute paths. No dist is on this consumption path: the tests import ../src/commands/lint by relative specifier, so no rebuild step applies to the mutated module. SUITES: pnpm --filter '@objectstack/cli^...' build -- VERDICT command-exit 0. pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli typecheck -- VERDICT command-exit 0 (includes check:test-typecheck). pnpm --filter @objectstack/cli exec vitest run --project unit --maxWorkers=2 -- VERDICT command-exit 0, 205 files / 2950 tests passed. integration tier DECLARED TO CI: the diff touches no spawn entry, no test/helpers/serve-process.ts and no driver/kernel boot path. pnpm lint (repo-wide, eslint . --no-inline-config) -- exit 0 in 96s, NOT narrowed, so no narrowing evidence is owed.

Two extra ran outside the derivation (check:stack-collection-maps, check:scaffold-emission-policy), both exit 0. Heavy runs serialised through scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh slot dev-17821; every verdict read from its VERDICT command-exit line, never a bare $?; no exit 99 occurred. NOT MEASURED: origin/main advanced to bd25e897d while I worked and scripts/check-cli-test-child-env.mjs changed there, so my local run of that family read this tree's older copy -- CI runs the current one.
