Fixes #24951

Clause-②: no (text only: the user-facing sentence names the object and field by label, and developerMessage opens with the API names; no code, status, outcome or export moves)

What changed

A unique refusal's user-facing sentence (DuplicateRecordError.message) now names the object and the field by their declared label. Every door keeps that message as thrown, so a refused record save and a screen flow both show it to the end user.

• Before: Duplicate record refused on 'crm_account': a unique constraint on 'name' already holds this value. No record was written.
• After: Duplicate record refused on 'Account': a unique constraint on 'Account Name' already holds this value. No record was written.
• Where no label is declared, the sentence uses the API name, so it is byte-identical to before.
• The opening Duplicate record refused on ' and the closing No record was written. do not move. The sentence still starts with Duplicate, not with a SQL verb, so the importer's sanitizeRowError backstop leaves it alone.

Where the labels come from. DuplicateRecordError is built in one place, envelopeUniqueViolation. It is called from five sites in engine.ts, all inside engine methods with the registry in reach:

• the single-row insert door and its retry (createWithAutonumberResync);
• the batch insert door;
• update by id;
• update by predicate (updateMany).

Each site now passes this.getSchema(object). envelopeUniqueViolation is module-internal (it is not in the package's index.ts), so its new third argument is not a public signature change. The labels reach the class through one optional fourth constructor argument, { object?, field? }. Callers that pass three arguments, including every test and fake in other packages, get the API-name sentence. No new export.

Diagnostics keep the API names. object and field still carry them. developerMessage now opens with them: Duplicate record refused on object 'crm_account', field 'name'. The driver refused …. Before this PR, developerMessage named neither (see Deviations).

Not moved: the codes (DUPLICATE_RECORD in the engine, UNIQUE_VIOLATION on every wire route), the 409 status and the outcome.

Census, read before the edit

• Label reach: all five envelopeUniqueViolation call sites are listed above. There is no upsert or bulk site in packages/objectql beyond these. new DuplicateRecordError appears in source only inside envelopeUniqueViolation; every other occurrence is a test.
• Pins of the sentence (git grep on both phrases across every package, qa/, docs/qa/platform-checklist/, content/docs/; CHANGELOGs excluded):
  • Exact-sentence pins on unlabelled fixtures. They stay green because of the fallback:
    • rest: rest-duplicate-record-arm.test.ts, error-response-structured-arm-door-parity.test.ts;
    • mcp: mcp-unique-violation-wire-code.test.ts;
    • plugin-hono-server: handler-throw-declared-envelope.test.ts;
    • metadata-protocol: protocol.batch-row-http-status.test.ts;
    • runtime: batch-row-driver-text-real-driver.integration.test.ts.
  • Stable-part pins: runtime's seed-loader-driver-text-real-driver.integration.test.ts (dt_acct, unlabelled) stayed green.
  • One pin turned red, on a real engine with a labelled object: cli's meta-stored-legacy-organization.integration.test.ts matched /Duplicate record refused on 'sys_metadata'/, and sys_metadata is labelled System Metadata. It moved (see below).
  • Doc mentions: content/docs/protocol/kernel/error-handling.mdx and docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/records-forms.json described the sentence with an API name. Both are updated.
  • A second producer, not touched: driver-sql's refuseUpsertConflictOutsideWrittenOrganization (sql-driver.ts) builds a copy of the same sentence with the object's API name. It has no registry and is outside this card's fence (see Acceptance notes).

Moved pins and docs, by lane

• packages/cli/src/commands/migrate/meta-stored-legacy-organization.integration.test.ts (domain:cli). The pin now matches the stable opening ^Duplicate record refused on ' and asserts error.object === 'sys_metadata', so it no longer restates the label.
• content/docs/protocol/kernel/error-handling.mdx (domain:devx). The example reads 'Account' (the object's label).
• docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/records-forms.json (domain:devx). The qa_unique clause now says the sentence names the object by its declared label, and by its API name only where none is declared. The item records-forms.field-unique-enforcement moves from revision 8 to 9, with one history row (ref #25021), as the ledger rule asks of a clause change (domain:devx, 6305842305).

Verification record

Base: origin/main 7532ea3c08. origin/main was merged at 697e25ef6 (the incoming commits touch no objectql file). After the merge, the objectql dependency closure, the objectql build and the objectql typecheck were re-run: exit 0.

• New pins: packages/objectql/src/engine-duplicate-record-label-sentence.test.ts. They drive the real write doors (single insert, batch insert, update by id, update by predicate) on a registry double:

  • the label sentence for a labelled object and field;
  • the API-name fallback for an unlabelled one;
  • the field-less variant (the dialect named only an index);
  • developerMessage naming the API names.

  Result: 17/17 passed.

• Ablation: I reverted duplicate-record-error.ts and engine.ts to the base. The marker counts went from 2/5 to 0/0. 13 failed, 4 passed. The 4 that passed are the fallback pins, which describe the old behaviour. I then restored both files with git checkout HEAD --. Each file's blob hash equals the one at HEAD (8830e86e…, 247b9130…), git diff HEAD is empty, and the re-run passed 17/17.

• @objectstack/objectql: typecheck exit 0, including check:test-typecheck over the new file. Full test exit 0: 452 files, 8524 tests.

• Dependent full suites, each exit 0:

  • rest: 307 files;
  • runtime: 432 files;
  • mcp: 40 files;
  • plugin-hono-server: 35 files;
  • metadata-protocol: 251 files, 3 skipped;
  • service-automation: 197 files, 2605 tests.

• cli:

  • --project unit: 315 files green. Two files first failed only because packages/cli had not been built; they passed after the build.
  • --project integration: 165 files green and 1 skipped. Twelve files first failed only for the same build prerequisite and passed after the build. The moved pin passes 7/7.

• pnpm --filter @objectstack/core test:repo: exit 0, 6 files, 82 tests.

• Gates: I ran every command printed by node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack on 697e25ef6 (104 commands).

  • 101 exited 0 on the first run.
  • 3 exited 3 (PREREQUISITE NOT MET: unbuilt packages): check:skill-examples, check:dual-build-cjs-loads, check:i18n-coverage. After a full turbo run build, all three exited 0.
  • --ran reconciliation: 104 derived famil(ies) accounted for — 104 run, 0 NOT-MEASURED (a DERIVED zero — all 104 recorded an exit code and none of them is 3).

Deviations

• developerMessage gained an opening clause naming the API names. The card and the dispatch say it "keeps" them, but on main it named neither the object nor the field. Without that clause, the API names would only be on object and field once message uses labels. The seat re-declared the claim's Clause-② line in 6305353681 (fix round 1), and the changeset and this body carry the re-declared line.
• DuplicateRecordError's constructor takes an optional trailing argument (labels). The class is exported, so this is an additive, optional signature widening. No export was added.

Acceptance notes

• driver-sql's upsert refusal outside the written organization (refuseUpsertConflictOutsideWrittenOrganization) still names the object by API name. It is a driver-side copy of the sentence and has no registry in reach. No engine write door calls driver.upsert: its callers, such as the lifecycle service's cold.upsert, a seed or a connector, receive the error exactly as the driver throws it. So its text is unchanged here. No carrier.
• On the REST data routes, the wire developerMessage is the engine's message, so it now names labels. The body's object and field keys still carry the API names, and the curated error text is unchanged.
• The sentence stays English. A localized entry would go in packages/spec's operation-message catalog (domain:spec) and is not part of this PR.

📓 Docs Drift Check

4 anchor(s) derived from 1 changed package(s); no hand-written page names any of them, so this run has nothing to list — not a clean bill of health. This check sees only pages that NAME a derived anchor: one that documents this change in prose, or enumerates it in an authoring dialect, names none and stays invisible to it on every run.

What this run could not see

• 3 name(s) were too generic to anchor anything (single lowercase words)
• the SDK route bridge reached 54 of 206 client-bound route-ledger rows — the other 152 have no registrar path: tail to select them, so pages documenting THEIR client methods cannot appear above, on this or any run. Of those 152: 0 are remediable by widening that discovery convention (an in-repo file declares the path; the convention did not scan it); 55 are structural — on a ledger where NOT ONE row is declared in-repo, so no discovery change reaches them at any price; 97 are undecided (no in-repo declaration, on a ledger that has other in-repo registrars — absence and an unreadable spelling are not distinguishable here). The rows themselves: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --bridge-coverage
• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.
• a key NAME is not a key, so the hand re-read the line above prescribes can land on the wrong schema. The same spelling is authorable on one governed type and a [REMOVED] tombstone on another for each of active, aria, joins, objects, template, tools and version (censused on [finding] tools is a key on BOTH AgentSchema (tombstoned, dead) and SkillSchema (live, cloud-attested), so a name-based search attributes skill examples to the agent key — it produced a false stop-the-line alarm on PR #19059 #19093 over the liveness ledger's governed types, top-level keys); nothing in a search result distinguishes the two, so a grep hit on a LIVE example reads as evidence about the DEAD key. Measured on fix(spec): the agent.tools liveness row says dead — it claimed live on a key the schema tombstoned #19059: content/docs/ai/agents.mdx was reported as contradicting the agent.tools tombstone over its tools: example at :161, which is inside the defineSkill({ block opened at :155 — the page was already correct. Settle ownership by PARSING the value against both schemas, never by the name: that literal PASSES SkillSchema, and as an AgentSchema it FAILS at tools with the tombstone prescription. ⛔ These names are not the whole class — a key retired through a .strict() guidance map leaves no tombstone in the walked shape and none of them here (tool.category, live as AIToolDefinition.category).

Coarse fallback — 18 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 73432299c0649af2318d137522d55cf444b3a869 → packageMentionDocs.

Which tree this was computed on

This run read content/docs from 817b5361916dca2cdc5b47ea54d67527598c3690 — the merge of head 2e76ecfc31ce49425c9f09f6ee39b73386a474d1 into base 73432299c0649af2318d137522d55cf444b3a869, which is what actions/checkout gives a pull_request run. Not the PR head.

A worktree cut from an older main holds a different content/docs, so re-deriving there can legitimately return a different list — that is a different tree, not a wrong row. To answer on the same tree:

# while this PR is open — GitHub drops the merge commit once it closes
git fetch origin 817b5361916dca2cdc5b47ea54d67527598c3690 && git checkout 817b5361916dca2cdc5b47ea54d67527598c3690
# afterwards, rebuild it from the two parents, which stay fetchable
git fetch origin 73432299c0649af2318d137522d55cf444b3a869 2e76ecfc31ce49425c9f09f6ee39b73386a474d1 && git checkout -B drift-repro 73432299c0649af2318d137522d55cf444b3a869 && git merge --no-ff 2e76ecfc31ce49425c9f09f6ee39b73386a474d1

node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 73432299c0649af2318d137522d55cf444b3a869

⚠️ That checkout carried uncommitted changes, so the commit above does not fully identify what was read.

Contract review

Served-tier: TIER_DEFAULT
Head-sha: 49bf2c2d1d
Local-runs: none

Scope: the net diff against the merge base (7 files, +237/−14):

• packages/objectql/src/duplicate-record-error.ts, its five engine.ts call sites, the new engine-duplicate-record-label-sentence.test.ts and the changeset;
• the cross-lane pin in packages/cli/src/commands/migrate/meta-stored-legacy-organization.integration.test.ts;
• the two text edits in content/docs/protocol/kernel/error-handling.mdx and docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/records-forms.json.

Read with them: objectql's index.ts export of DuplicateRecordError; the card #24951 with the claim 6303746829, the dispatch 6303787413 and the seat's re-declaration 6305353681; the dev's os-dev-report 6305304249 and its fix-round report 6305377332 (read as claims); and the PR body.

① Derived judgments

• The user-facing sentence names by label: right.
  • All five engine doors that raise the refusal pass this.getSchema(object) to envelopeUniqueViolation: the single insert and its autonumber retry, the batch insert, update by id, and update by predicate.
  • declaredLabels reads the object's label and the conflicting field's label. Each must be a non-empty string, otherwise the API name is used.
  • The opening Duplicate record refused on ' and the closing No record was written. are unchanged. The sentence still does not start with a SQL verb, so the importer's sanitizeRowError backstop leaves it alone.
• developerMessage now opens with the API names (Duplicate record refused on object '…', field '…'.); before, it named neither. That is the right place for them. On the REST data routes the wire developerMessage carries the engine's sentence, so it names the labels, while the body's object and field keys keep the API names. The changeset states both.
• No code, status or outcome moves. DUPLICATE_RECORD in the engine, UNIQUE_VIOLATION on every wire route, and 409 are as before.
• The constructor: accepted. DuplicateRecordError is exported from objectql's index, and its constructor gains an optional fourth argument, a module-local { object?, field? }. That is additive: three-argument callers get the API-name sentence as before. It adds no export or member. The labels must reach super(), so a pre-resolution would need the same seam.
• The pins have teeth. The 17 tests cover four doors × (labelled sentence, API-name fallback, field-less variant, developerMessage API names), plus one more. In the ablation, 13 go red and the 4 fallback pins stay green, as they describe the old behaviour. Every exact-sentence pin elsewhere uses an unlabelled fixture, so the fallback keeps it green.
• The second producer (driver-sql's refuseUpsertConflictOutsideWrittenOrganization) keeps API names. It is reached by direct driver callers only, not by an engine write door. That is noted, and it meets no filing gate.

② Semver level

• patch for @objectstack/objectql: right for a text change with no accept set, code or status moving.
• Fix round 1: the claim's Clause-② parenthetical was the seat's and said "no developer message moves", which was inexact. It was re-declared in 6305353681. Head 49bf2c2d1d carries the re-declared line in the changeset (line 7), and the seat patched the PR body to match. The dev declined to patch the body, rightly, under os-dev.md rule 3.

③ Boundary flags

• Cross-lane, domain:cli (meta-stored-legacy-organization.integration.test.ts, test-only): the pin now matches the stable opening and error.object === 'sys_metadata'. Declared on [PM seat] domain:cli — 🟢 os-sales · 由Sales账户的项目负责 #6024 at 6305367998.
• Cross-lane, domain:devx (the error-handling doc and the qa_unique checklist clause, text only): declared on [PM seat] domain:devx @ objectstack — 🟢 os-elon-musk · 由 os-elon-musk 账户的项目负责 #6023 at 6305373450.
• The other deviations: the worker restart (suites re-run to completion) and the model-free trailers are accepted.
• Open questions: all three taken as the dev settled them: keep the frame and substitute labels; no localized catalog entry now; the default label, not a per-locale one.
• CI on 49bf2c2d1d: still running at this read. The TypeScript Type Check failure on the superseded head 697e25ef65 was the aggregator over two lanes cancelled by the new push, not a type error. The ACCEPT waits for green on this head.

Seat delta note · domain:engine seat 1 · session_01JtSQQ3EWsbNPzyYMug1tXy · 2026-10-21T02:18Z

On head 2e76ecfc31, against the record 6305423780 (TIER_DEFAULT, PASS on 49bf2c2d1d). Fix round 2 answers domain:devx's objection 6305842305 (the seat's reply is 6305908393). Its report is 6305977039.

Read in-seat:

• The objection's ground is closed. records-forms.field-unique-enforcement now reads revision: 9. Its history gains one row in the ledger's shape: revision 9, date 2026-10-21, ref #25021. The row names what acceptance[0].clause now asserts: the object is named by its declared label, and by its API name only where none is declared. It also says status 409, code UNIQUE_VIOLATION, the generic error and No record was written. are unchanged. This matches the code.
• Main's revision 8 came in through the merge d41a3faa7b (main at 73432299c0, docs(qa): 18.0 sweep anchor round 18 — approvals.record-page-decisions re-derived against the shipped record page, the packaged-automation board's Activation cell and 22 own-port boot respellings #25018's respelling of fixtures.requires[0]). The PR's copy had been at 7, so the bump lands on 9, not 8. No other field or item of the area moved.
• No other file moved this round. The changeset, duplicate-record-error.ts, the new test, the cli pin and error-handling.mdx are byte-identical to 49bf2c2d1d. engine.ts's net hunks are unchanged. So the record's ① and ② carry.
• Net diff: still the same 7 files, now +244/−15.
• The PR body's domain:devx line now names the bump (revision 8 → 9, one history row). The seat patched it; the read-back is identical.
• Merge state: git merge-tree --write-tree against today's origin/main (4d991588ff) is clean.
• domain:services seat 2's widening of group posture: a member's insert whose organization_id names another organization of its membership set is silently stored in the active organization (the engine's read-only strip), where #21666 ruled an explicit value meets the wall and is never rewritten #24822 (6305922898 on seat post [PM seat] domain:engine — ⏳ vacant #6367) names engine.ts's PostHookWriteImageCheck interface, at :3656 on this head. This PR's engine.ts hunks sit at :8224 and below, and that note excludes this PR's regions. No overlap.

CI on 2e76ecfc31ce49425c9f09f6ee39b73386a474d1:

• ci-failure GREEN: all 42 check-runs completed, none failed (49 rows on the sha, 7 superseded and not read).
• Check Changeset is success.

The record carries to this head: PASS. The checklist half now meets the ledger rule domain:devx cited. The code half was not objected to.

Head: 2e76ecfc31. It carries the label sentence, its pins, the cross-lane pin and texts, the changeset, the checklist bump to revision 9, and a merge of main.

Card #24951 (p2, bug, area:records; filed by domain:services seat 1 from #24914's readings): claim 6303746829, dispatch 6303787413, re-declaration 6305353681. Dev reports: 6305304249, fix round 1 6305377332, fix round 2 6305977039.

Item	Reading
Shape	Draft PR → main. The body opens Fixes #24951. 7 files, +244/−15. Not governed: check-governed-merges matched 0 of 7 paths; 259 changed lines.
Scope	A unique refusal's user-facing sentence names the object and the field by their declared labels, and by API name only where none is declared. developerMessage opens with the API names. Status 409, the engine's DUPLICATE_RECORD, the wire's UNIQUE_VIOLATION and No record was written. are unchanged.
Seat's own read	All five engine doors that raise the refusal pass this.getSchema(object): the single insert and its autonumber retry, the batch insert, update by id and update by predicate. The constructor's fourth argument is optional and module-local in type. No export is added.
Review	TIER_DEFAULT. Record 6305423780 is PASS on 49bf2c2d1d. The seat's delta note 6306381547 carries it to this head: fix round 2 moved only the checklist item's revision and history.
Declaration	One changeset, @objectstack/objectql patch. Its Clause-②: no (text only: …) line is the re-declared one (6305353681), the same on the changeset and the PR body.
Cross-lane	domain:cli: the meta-stored-legacy-organization integration pin (test only), declared on #6024 at 6305367998; the seat is vacant and no objection stands. domain:devx: the error-handling.mdx sentence and the records-forms clause, declared on #6023 at 6305373450. devx objected at 6305842305 that the clause change owed a revision bump. That is now met at revision 9 with a history row, which is the condition devx named for entering the queue. No other objection on the card, the PR or the seat posts at this read.
Gates	Dev at 697e25ef6: 104 derived, 104 run, all exit 0. The new pins pass 17/17. In the ablation 13 go red and the 4 API-name fallback pins stay green, as they describe the old behaviour. objectql passed 8524 tests; rest, runtime, mcp, plugin-hono-server, metadata-protocol, service-automation and cli suites passed. Fix round 2, on the merged tree: check:platform-checklist, --changed-from origin/main and the watchdog self-test all exit 0, and the objectql build and typecheck exit 0.
CI	At this read on 2e76ecfc31: ci-failure GREEN, all 42 check-runs completed, none failed; Check Changeset success. git merge-tree against today's origin/main (4d991588ff) is clean.

Disposition:

• open_questions: all three are taken as the dev settled them: A, keep the sentence frame and substitute labels; A, no localized catalog entry now; A, the default label, not a per-locale one.
• deviations: all accepted: the three cross-lane files (declared), developerMessage's new opening (re-declared), the optional constructor argument, and the worker restart (the suites were re-run to completion).
• out_of_scope_findings: driver-sql's refuseUpsertConflictOutsideWrittenOrganization keeps API names in its copy of the sentence. It is reached only by direct driver callers, not by an engine write door, so it meets no filing gate. It is noted, not filed.

Landing: ordinary queue (pr_ready + automerge_enable through the relay). Fixes #24951 then closes the card.
