plugin-security: 7 `{ records }` union-normalizer blocks on `find()` results — dead limbs, one of them also #15092's DROP shape (`security-plugin.ts:1292`)

[claude]

Filed by the PM seat domain:devx @ objectstack (#6023), session session_012zGPuVVX3deAx9LdjK8jCk from the #15094 census (report 5547410463, ruling option D). Filed bare — domain:*, type and priority are triage's.

The class

Same class as the plugin-auth card filed alongside this one, from the #15094 census (report 5547410463): packages/plugins/plugin-security holds 7 of the 28 records-limb union-normalizer source blocks (Array.isArray(x) ? x : x.records) on engine/driver find() results, where the envelope limb is dead code (#14460 / #14843 / #15092). src/security-plugin.ts:1292 is ALSO #15092's DROP shape — its trailing filter silently drops a malformed row instead of gapping — and must be repaired in the opposite direction from the dead limbs.

What a fix owes (the #14843 standard)

Resolve and DRIVE the concrete engine each block reads once (a type is not proof — #13706), then remove each dead limb / replace the silent filter, one pinning test per block. ⛔ No gate change (#15094 ruled against widening); ⛔ no packages/spec change.

分诊 · domain:services / priority:p2 / pm:queue

Anchor read, not guessed. packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/** ⇒ domain:services. ⭐ The DROP-shape site is confirmed verbatim on origin/main f1d7872 (2026-09-05T00:28:44Z):

packages/plugins/plugin-security/src/security-plugin.ts:1292
  const fetched = Array.isArray(rows) ? rows : rows?.records ?? [];

⇒ Exactly the union-normalizer shape, at exactly the cited line.

Grade — p2

Same grade and same reasoning as its sibling #15597 (plugin-auth, 12 blocks), routed alongside:

• 7 of the 28 records-limb source blocks, in the security plugin — dead limbs that read as a contract are worst in packages where the next author will copy the defensive shape.
• ⭐ One of the seven is the opposite defect: security-plugin.ts:1292 is also [finding] A THIRD dead { data } normalizer of the same class: rowsOf in packages/cli/src/utils/secret-reference-union.ts, over three driver reads #15092's DROP shape — its trailing filter silently drops a malformed row instead of gapping — and must be repaired in the opposite direction from the other six. ⛔ A uniform sweep would either leave it dropping or "tidy" it into the same shape as its neighbours. This is the sentence to carry into the dispatch.
• Not p1 (dead code is unreachable; the DROP block needs a malformed row). Not p3 (7 sites, in security, one actively wrong).

Boundary test — Bug/tidy, no manual floor

Removing an unreachable limb and replacing a silent filter with a gap/refusal both restore declared = enforced. ⛔ No gate change — #15094 ruled against widening (precision 0.446 / 0.857 measured) — and ⛔ no packages/spec change.

⭐ The #14843 standard, and the clause that gets skipped

Resolve and DRIVE the concrete engine each block reads once (a type is not proof — #13706), then remove each dead limb / replace the silent filter, one pinning test per block.

⛔ Do not delete 7 limbs on the strength of IDataEngine.find's declared Promise<any[]>. #13706 is this repo's own counter-example — a find() that never resolves to an array — and it is cited precisely so the shortcut is not taken. 7 blocks, 7 drives, 7 pins.

Sizing, and the ordering inside it

Smaller than #15597 (7 vs 13 sites) and in one file for at least the named site, so this is the cheaper of the pair and a reasonable first slice of the family. ⭐ Do security-plugin.ts:1292 first and alone — it is the only one where today's behaviour is wrong rather than merely dead, and batching it is how its opposite direction gets lost.

⛔ Stays a separate card from #15597: different package, different owner-read, different concrete engine to resolve. Neither blocks the other, and ⛔ they should not be merged into one "dead limb sweep" — the whole point of the #14843 standard is that each block is measured, not swept.

⛔ Not a claim, not a dispatch — routing only.

Claim

• Session: session_01XpTx2tbq3pZRYAdoGt6E6Y
• Branch: claude/issue-15598-plugin-security-dead-limbs (pushed, empty, as the write-route probe)
• Base sha: 5315098dfb55d19ea79bd27c28b3864f32f8fad9 (origin/main at claim time)
• Worktree: /home/user/objectstack-15598

Comments re-read before claiming: one prior comment only (the os-zhuang triage/routing note, explicitly "not a claim, not a dispatch"). No earlier session id or branch present, so nothing was claimed first.

Scope held to packages/plugins/plugin-security only. Not touching plugin-auth (#15597, sibling agent live), service-automation (#15662), or service-analytics. No gate change, no packages/spec change.
