Seat post for the repo:objectos execution seat. Body is authoritative; title and assignee are derived views. Single writer: the sitting PM.

❗ Reference convention — this post lives in objectstack, but almost every card it names is in objectos. A bare #N here resolves to an objectstack issue, and those numbers are all taken by unrelated real issues, so a bare reference renders as a working link to the wrong thing. objectstack-ai/objectos#261 is verbose and correct; #261 is short and silently wrong (it points at a January link-checker bot card). Previous tenures used bare numbers throughout — corrected 2026-09-04. Keep objectos references fully qualified. Bare numbers below are genuine objectstack issues.

1. Scope

• Repo: objectstack-ai/objectos (docs site + marketing surface; no packages/, no changeset flow; merge queue configured but not enforced on main — a direct merge succeeds).
• Single-lane repo — this seat self-serves the mechanical three (sweep, type, finding first-touch grading). It ⛔ does not produce domain:*. Cross-repo dedup / shadow checks remain central triage's.
• packages/spec work is never this seat's — it routes to the spec seat ([PM seat] domain:spec — 🟢 os-project-manager #6017). Sibling whole-repo seats: repo:objectui [PM seat] repo:objectui — 🔴 收班 vacant · 上一班 session_014zHsbJoTkTZeJQ5DLbRXrE (domain:ui) R26 · 落地 20 · 在飞 0 · 决策箱 14+ #6025, repo:cloud [PM seat] repo:cloud — 🟢 session_01EK4Q5Nrx779cxjdeTxsK7P · R36 · 落地 20 PR / 19 卡 · 待落地 1(#1981 已 arm)· 在飞 0 · 队列 1 · 决策箱 5 · 等人合 1 · ⚠️ #1834 治理审计待认领 #6026.
• ❗ MERGING TO main PUBLISHES THE PRODUCTION DOCS SITE. As of 2026-09-04 that path is ci.yml → deploy-docs.yml (a workflow_call reusable workflow, gated on needs: [node-floor, build]). A docs-content PR and a production release are still the same act — but the act is now verified. No human gate, by the maintainer's decision (2026-09-04, 「网站能正常发布，我也不想审核」): detection replaced prevention, see §5.

2. Current PM

🟢 Held — session_01GkauAsZBEemRbco2rEX9Lx, identity os-project-manager, seated 2026-09-04T11:40Z on the maintainer's direct /pm-dispatch objectos. R3 closed 15:50Z. Nothing in flight. Dispatch unfrozen (§6).

⚠️ os-zhuang is a shared identity; the session ID in each Claim: comment is the only holder identity. A dev subagent shares its parent PM's session ID — branch name is the discriminator.

5. Standing commitments

❗❗ 2026-09-04 incident — this seat published a broken production site by merging a reviewed PR

PR objectstack-ai/objectos#263 fixed a real defect (the MDX corpus was inlined once per server entrypoint, 5×). Measured, ablation-verified under real workerd, green on every check, non-governed. I merged it. The upload was accepted — the first in 36 attempts — and the site went down. The maintainer found it, not me.

The error was an ordering decision, not a technical one. I had written on the PR that a green deploy proves the upload was accepted, not that pages render. I had filed objectstack-ai/objectos#265 recording that rendering cannot be verified pre-merge. I then judged the residual risk low and merged. I knew the gap, named the gap, and shipped past it. When I could not meet my own acceptance bar, I was also the person who got to lower it — no independent check existed.

❗ Correction of record. I initially told the maintainer I had introduced the bug. That was wrong and is corrected here. The defect was dynamicParams = false on the docs route (landed 2026-08-26, nine days earlier) combined with defineCloudflareConfig() called with no arguments, selecting the "dummy" incremental cache whose get() always throws → every prerender lookup misses → NoFallbackError → _not-found → every page 404s. PR #263's async: true was innocent; it was merely the first upload small enough to be accepted, so it delivered a defect that had been sitting on main for nine days. The process error above stands unchanged — the merge decision was wrong regardless of whose commit the bug was.

Rules that follow, all mechanical:

• ⛔ A green Deploy Docs run is NEVER the acceptance criterion for a change to the rendering path. The criterion is a rendered page. If you cannot load one, you cannot accept the change — no risk-weighing, because "it can be weighed" is exactly how this failed.
• ❗ A rejected deploy does not roll back — and that cuts both ways. Rejection lands on version creation, so a failed upload leaves the previous version serving (which is why the site survived 36 red deploys). The corollary traps you: once a bad version is accepted, git revert only rebuilds a bundle that is rejected again, leaving the bad version live. Recovery is Cloudflare-side against a version id — rollback-docs.yml exists for exactly this and needs no local credentials.
• After a rollback, revert the offending commit too, or the next merge redeploys the broken build.
• ❗❗ Every "protection" here was maintained by another layer's failure. The size ceiling was masking a total-404 defect for nine days. Fix any one layer and you immediately expose the next. The first successful deploy after a long outage is inherently the highest-risk deploy — it is the first time in weeks that anything reaches production at all. Treat it that way.

The verification layer — built 2026-09-04, and what it does not cover

CI here is heavy — build, Node floor (17+24+18 cases), check-locale-surface, check-translations, check-translation-output (29 rules, each proven able to fail), check-translation-ownership, gen-zh-hant --check (73 files byte-for-byte), half-states self-test (1551 cases). Until 09-04, none of it ever touched the website. Four blind spots were named; three are now closed:

1. ✅ Nothing checks the site renders → .github/scripts/smoke-docs.mjs, 4 live pages, 12 structural rules, plus a live negative control every run. First green run 15:47Z.
2. ✅ Nothing notices deploy failures → a failed deploy or smoke check files/updates a deploy-failure card, and auto-dispatches rollback.
3. 🔴 Nothing weighs the Worker bundle — still open, Nothing measures the docs Worker bundle before deploy, so exceeding Cloudflare's 64 MiB limit fails silently after merge objectos#262. Baseline 58555.94 KiB / 89.35 % / 6980.06 KiB headroom against 65536 KiB.
4. ✅ deploy-docs.yml had no needs: → it is now a workflow_call reusable workflow invoked by ci.yml under needs: [node-floor, build], and it publishes the artifact build produced, not a second untested rebuild. workflow_dispatch survives but can no longer deploy.

Also still open: objectstack-ai/objectos#274 — rendering is checked after deploy, never before, so the first observer of a broken render is a live visitor (window ≈ 1 minute, auto-recovered).

⚠️ The site was protected only by the bug. Those 36 rejected deploys are what kept the broken-since-08-25 pipeline from shipping anything.

Reading gates and runtimes

• Read the gate job's own conclusion, never an aggregate. "No failed jobs found" on an in-progress run means not failed yet.
• ❗ In deploy-docs.yml the deploy step runs under set +e on purpose. Its exit code is evidence, not verdict — the arbiter is the later Assert a new version is serving step, which compares the serving version id before and after. Run Complete ObjectStack Protocol implementation in MSW plugin #414 is the proof: deploy exited 0, the assert step went red, and it was right.
• ⚠️ A post-merge workflow appears on no PR's check list. Every gate rule in the skill reads a PR's checks.
• ⚠️ A green runtime is not the runtime you ship to. next start is Node; this ships to workerd. opennextjs-cloudflare preview runs workerd locally with no credentials and — since PR 🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #273 — now serves real pages, so pre-merge rendering checks are possible (CI can now smoke-check a rendered page BEFORE merge, and nothing wires it up — prevention is still missing from the deploy pipeline objectos#274).
• An absent gate is not a failed gate and not a passed one. Ownership & freshness is filtered to content/docs/**; Live half-state sweep to the sweeper.
• ⚠️ A probe that cannot fail is indistinguishable from one that passed. Four instances in one day: ss returns nothing in this container; an ablation returned 500 only because the server never started; the UNRECOGNISED scan returned nothing because check-half-states exits 3 (invalid token); and a grep -c TEMP probe that matched $RUNNER_TEMP. This is why smoke-docs.mjs carries a live negative control and why its text floor is measured after stripping script/style — a byte floor passes an empty shell.
• ❗ Sampling a paginated API is not enumerating it. Run Update examples to demonstrate latest protocol features #41 read off the top of one page was published as "newest success anywhere" — it was newest on that page; [WIP] Create a new version release #42–🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #105 were all green. Off by 64 runs and 65 days. A page boundary is not a data boundary.

Measurement discipline

• Capture exit codes before any pipe. cmd | grep …; echo $? reads grep.
• ❗ A line-oriented grep cannot see a phrase wrapped across a newline; a control probe is blind the same way.
• Answer a question about absence by diffing, not by enumerating.
• ❗ A declared file surface is a hypothesis about where the defect lives. The docs site cannot publish — the Worker exceeds Cloudflare's 64 MiB limit and every deploy is rejected objectos#261's dispatch named four config files, none of which could reach apps/docs/source.config.ts where the defect was.
• Boot the previous version as a control, pinned to an exact version, and read the resolved versions back to prove the pin held.
• ❗ Projections are not measurements. PR 🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #263 projected ~82.7 % of the size limit; measured was 89.3 %, off by 4.3 MiB the wrong way.
• ❗ One ceiling per card. I used 64000 and 65536 KiB in a single card and invented ~1.5 MiB of phantom headroom. The limit is 65536 KiB, taken from run 🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #140's own rejection text.

Platform traps in this container

• ⚠️ REST reads work (GET /repos/… → 200); REST writes 403; log downloads 403; /repos/…/environments is blocked by the proxy. Test the specific verb.
• ⚠️ Outbound HTTPS to the live sites is blocked (403 CONNECT tunnel failed on both hosts, via curl and WebFetch). This seat cannot see the site it publishes — which is why the smoke check lives in CI, where runners can reach it.
• ⚠️ Branch deletion is refused by this container's push route (send-pack: unexpected disconnect, reproduced independently). Stale claude/* branches accumulate and only the maintainer can clear them.
• ⚠️ enable_pr_auto_merge refuses a PR whose checks are already green. Flip ready before checks converge to enqueue; otherwise you merge directly and produce a merge commit where this repo's history is squashes.
• ✅ GITHUB_TOKEN can dispatch a workflow in this repo — proven 09-04; ci.yml → deploy-docs.yml works without a PAT.
• ⚠️ turbo 2 strict env mode drops undeclared env vars. NEXT_PRIVATE_STANDALONE=true must also be declared in turbo.json build.env — and declaring it puts it in the cache key.
• Part of beats Fixes for any card whose acceptance is a post-merge signal. GitHub's parser matches a closing keyword inside backticks and under a negation.
• The GitHub body sanitizer eats a leading HTML-comment report marker. Read back with GET, never PATCH.
• Kill servers by explicit PID via /proc, ⛔ never pkill -f. Shared verify lock: /home/user/objectstack/scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh.
• A Fixes #n auto-close does not remove pm:*. Nineteen times now.
• Governed surface = docs/adr/**, .claude/**, skills/**, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md. .github/** and scripts/** are not. ⛔ This seat never approves a governed PR.

✅ Dispatch unfrozen. The freeze existed because merging published unverified; it now publishes verified. Four queue cards are dispatchable, two of them (#262, #274) serial on ci.yml.

Production state — reading taken 2026-09-04T15:50Z. Worker version 2170b929-5879-4b3f-b7a2-9eda750158dd, published 15:47:00Z from 0e26657f by run 33891143864, replacing 69c79ee3-… which had served since 2026-08-25. Total Upload: 58555.94 KiB / gzip: 8799.28 KiB; startup 47 ms; 1659 assets. Live smoke green on 4 pages with the negative control tripping [status error-shell too-little-text few-links]. Auto-rollback skipped — correctly, nothing to undo; its failure path was exercised on run #414.

Health. Dispatchable inventory 4. Decision inbox 5, no reply since 09-02. Bare finding 0 · bare cards 0. Deploy health: 🟢 GREEN — first accepted upload in 10 days, verified rendering.

Governed-merge audit (--since 2026-09-02): objectos 0, clean. objectstack: 70, all merged_by os-zhuang (authorised, shared identity, via env-token) — ⛔ not this seat's to adjudicate; routed to the director seat. Coverage 1/5 → 2/5 after two script-named remedies; objectui/cloud/hotcrm have no checkout here and remain UNAUDITED, which is not clean. Next window: --since-ref objectstack=cd1f8ee968d8 --since-ref objectos=94a4126096d2.

UNRECOGNISED scan: NO READING TAKEN. check-half-states.mjs is the only script here emitting the token and it exits 3 — PREREQUISITE NOT MET, the token in the environment is not a valid GitHub credential. Its 1551 self-test cases pass, so the script is healthy; that says nothing about the board. ⛔ Do not record as "no unrecognised items".

Still on the maintainer: #242 · #256 · #251 · #68 · #171 · #197 · making Node floor required · deleting the stray branch claude/issue-269-plumbing-probe and ~105 stale claude/* branches (this container cannot delete branches).

Round 2 — opened by the @objectstack/cli@17.1.0 publish

Maintainer instruction this round: the 17.1 publish lands on both doc sites and both need updating.

The event

@objectstack/cli@17.1.0 published 2026-08-20T11:21:17.400Z. This discharged the executable hold criterion standing on objectos#94 since round 1.

The criterion was satisfied literally by the version number, but its purpose was that the published package carry objectstack#9736 — and a version number is not evidence of that. Verified against the published tarball instead of the merge date:

npm pack @objectstack/cli@17.1.0

dist/commands/init.js:180        sharingModel: 'private',
dist/commands/init.js:245        sharingModel: 'private',
dist/utils/scaffold-validate.js:42   export const SCAFFOLD_RULE_COMMAND = 'build';
dist/commands/serve.js:3125      // #8978 — the Config:/Artifact: row must name what actually booted,

Both fixes are in. The same probe settled objectstack#9347 as a free side effect, so both publish-time triggers enumerated on objectos#141 fire on this one release rather than one of them.

Recorded as a standing commitment: a hold released by a version number is not released until the artifact is opened. Merged ≠ published was round 1's falsified premise; published ≠ contains-the-fix is the same error one step later.

Dispatched

• objectos#94 — pm:on-hold → pm:dispatched, tier opus, Clause-② no. Full residue: re-transcribe Path A, measure and transcribe Path B (the half PR 🔗 Broken links detected in documentation #140 could not take), delete the expired Warning admonition, move the version pin. In flight.

Filed, not dispatched

The maintainer's "both sides" crosses a seat boundary. objectstack has no repo: seat — it is sliced by domain:* — so this seat filed with measurements and left routing to triage rather than dispatching into another lane. Both are unassigned, finding, no domain:*, no type.

• objectstack#10229 — the 17.1.0 bump left three prose version claims behind and check:docs-image-tag is green over them. self-hosting.mdx now contradicts itself: four anchored pins at 17.1.0, two prose claims 17 lines above still at 17.0.0. One of them is false, not stale — line 60 says the rolling 17.0 tag "moves with every stable publish", and after 17.1.0 it is frozen. Line 59 misses the gate's anchor by one character (@objectstack/cli + space + "versions", where the anchor is @objectstack/cli@); deployment/index.mdx is not an enumerated surface at all. Explicitly not a request to loosen the gate into a glob — that would redden the ~30 historical sentences it was designed to spare.

• objectstack#10232 — 17.1.0 published a 69-package train with no curated notes. releases/v17.mdx ends at ## Landed since 17.0.0-rc.6; releases/index.mdx:21 still calls 17.0.0 "current series". The repo's own convention says minors belong there — the v16 index entry documents 16.1 in exactly that form. Second occurrence of the class after docs(releases): v17.0.0 shipped on 2026-08-14 but the release page still says the train is in pre-mode with an open rc.6 window #8882.

• objectos#142 — pm:blocked on objectstack#10232. changelog.mdx's "Recent highlights" ends at 17.0. Blocked rather than queued on purpose: the page names /docs/releases/v17 as its source of truth, and nothing is authored there. Having a dev compose the narrative from 69 generated changelogs would make objectos the de-facto author of the platform's release notes. The mirror follows; it does not lead.

Corpus discipline exercised

The objectos sweep found twelve version-shaped claims outside quickstart.mdx. Eleven are "Since ObjectStack 17.0 …" — historical facts that stay true forever and must not be touched; exactly one is live. Enumerated on objectos#142 so the next agent does not bulk-bump ten true sentences to fix one. Pathspec verified with a control probe for the top-level-file blind spot recorded in round 1.

Stale-checkout note, for anyone reproducing

The shared objectstack working checkout is at 9ff11921a with packages/cli 17.0.0, while origin/main is 04096f17e with 17.1.0. Running check:docs-image-tag in the shared tree reports "compared against … 17.0.0" and goes green on a corpus that is internally consistent at the old version — it cannot show the drift. Every measurement above was taken against origin/main.

Outstanding on the maintainer

Unchanged from round 1, plus one: objectstack#10232's item 4 asks whether "a published version with no release-notes section" is worth mechanising. Carried as a question, not adjudicated — this seat does not answer product questions on the maintainer's behalf.
