fix(tier0,tier1): the contracts that said "never throws" threw, and a gate that was never enforced - #147
Conversation
… gate that was never enforced
A five-agent audit swept tiers 0 and 1. This is the tier-ordered first slice: imports
only go down, so the packages everything else imports land before their consumers adopt
them. 22 findings, every one with a test that fails without the fix.
The pattern that showed up four times: a function documents a total contract and reads a
value the framework did not build.
- SECURITY: `isTenantScoped` compared the `org/` prefix exactly, so `Org/org-2/secret.png`
read as not-tenant-scoped and skipped the org check — and `Org/` and `org/` are one
directory on APFS and NTFS, so the local driver opened the other tenant's file. Folding
case at the shared predicate also closes it in two `x dev` routes where the key is
client-supplied with no signature at all. Nine spoof keys are pinned refused, each one
signed with the real secret so no refusal leans on the HMAC.
- No signed storage URL verified under the documented defaults: the driver signed under
`/_storage/local` and the verify side defaulted to `/_storage`. The base is now stated
once, and an app's own shared assets are readable again — `path.ts` had already written
down that "the pair is the question" and shipped `isTenantScoped` for it.
- `t('valueOf')` threw `TypeError: template.includes is not a function` out of the
translator whose header says "never throws", and `t('constructor')` returned a function
through a signature typed `string`.
- `invalidateTags()` ("a dead Redis must not fail the write") and `bestEffort` ("absorbs
its refusal") both rendered the caught value with `instanceof`/`String` — and on a
hostile throwable *both halves* throw. `checkDb` had the same line and backs `/readyz`.
- A rejecting `drain()` was an unhandled rejection: the handler observed it with `.then()`
alone, so an app logger that throws left `state` short of `stopped`, made the memo
re-reject forever, and stopped `release()` running at all.
- `0 3 * * sat-tue/2` walked an 8-day week — day-of-week is 0-7 with two spellings of
Sunday — so a `task` declaring a wrapping stepped range fired on the wrong days.
Also: `rollback({ steps: -1 })` reverted all but the last migration; a deleted migration
was invisible to the ledger audit in dev and CI; `reapBranches` dropped a branch whose
timestamp would not parse; `applyFlagSnapshot` left a snapshot half-applied; `formatMoney`
cached formatters unbounded on a request-supplied locale; `coerce` read submitted values
off the prototype chain.
Two declarations that could not work are deleted rather than documented: `DESCRIPTION_MIN_LENGTH`
(exported, documented as enforced, read by no validator) and `SchemaProvider`'s doc clause
naming a `toJsonSchema` member the interface does not declare. `requireChecksum` went the
other way — `validateUpload` honours it correctly, so the missing field was threaded through.
`cachedFormatter` moved to core because `money` needed the bound and `money -> time` is a
sideways tier-1 import; one mechanism in tier 0 beats a second copy of it.
Deferred and tracked, not dropped: #143 #144 #145 #146.

Use coded test errors.
Replace these bare Error throws with a test UltimateError subclass that has a stable code, cause, and executable fix:. The tests do not assert native Error behavior.
As per coding guidelines, “do not throw bare Error.” As per path instructions, “throw new Error(...) is blocking.”

Do not throw a bare Error in this test.
Line 120 violates the error contract. Use a coded UltimateError test fixture, then assert that the caller receives that same instance without DbError wrapping. This preserves the observer-propagation assertion and keeps failures actionable.
As per coding guidelines: “Do not throw bare Error; use an UltimateError subclass with a code, a cause, and a fix:.” As per path instructions: “throw new Error(...) is blocking.” Based on learnings: bare Error simulation is explicitly permitted for database lifecycle cleanup tests; this observer test is outside that exception.

…y moving it Six of CodeRabbit's eight comments on #147. Two are declined on merit, below. The one that mattered: the three `rollback({ steps })` tests asserted only that it throws, so they would have passed identically if validation ran AFTER the advisory lock and the ledger read — which is the property the fix exists to establish. Proven by moving the guard inside the lock scope: all three now fail, naming the two statements that should not have run. A test that cannot fail in the dimension it claims to cover is the thing the file was arguing about. - `reapBranches` now requires the timestamp to round-trip through `toISOString()`. `Number.isFinite` does not catch truncation: `2026-08-18T10:00` parses to a valid but different instant, so the branch was reaped or spared on a date nobody wrote. `createBranch` is the only writer and emits canonical ISO, so nothing legitimate is stranded. - `cachedFormatter` decides membership with `has`, not `!== undefined`: `T` is caller-chosen, and one that includes `undefined` got a cache that never hit. Latent — no shipped caller stores `undefined` — but it is an exported tier-0 helper and the generic contract should hold for the type it advertises. - The statement-observer test asserts the throw arrives as the *same instance*, not as an equal message; a re-wrapped copy passed the old assertion. - The metric-redeclaration test checks it caught an `UltimateError` before reading `.code`, so a missing throw reports itself instead of dying with a `TypeError`. - The measured retention figures are dated `As of 2026-08` and reconciled: three copies said 55 MB, 55 MB and 55.1 MB. `intl-cache.ts`'s header is back under the 4-line ceiling, with the evidence in the README where a reader looks for it. Declined, both asking to replace a bare `Error` in a test with an `UltimateError`: `lifecycle-logging.test.ts` and `client-observer.test.ts` inject app-supplied code (a logger, a statement observer) and assert the framework survives an ARBITRARY throwable — a coded error narrows exactly what is under test. `packages/db/CLAUDE.md` already states this: "a `DbError` there would prove the narrower thing". Issue #132 separately records the rule as deliberately unenforced in test files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
