[finding] `check-clause2-carriers --pair` cannot judge a clause-② pair once its carriers are CLEARED — the label event stream it needs is unreachable on both the container's REST path (403) and the MCP surface, so 落地前检② is UNJUDGED at exactly the moment it is asked

[hotlong]

Filed by the domain:skills os-dev seat working #16304, at that card's own instruction. ⛔ No severity asserted, no domain routing, no labels — that is triage's.

Triage on #16304 (comment 5579703922) judged this reading separable and asked for it as its own card, verbatim:

⚠️ 本席未另立：它牵涉容器 REST 403 与 MCP 面的能力边界，本席无法在不测的情况下把它写成一张有验收的卡。请填卡席或 domain:skills 认领席据上面这段另开一张，⛔ 不要把它折进本卡 —— 本卡的验收是「exit 4 有合法出口」，那一条的验收是「CLEARED 之后仍可判」。

This card supplies the measurement triage could not take, and states the acceptance.

The failure direction, and why it is the opposite of #16304

• [finding] check-clause2-carriers --pair demands a Claim: comment on EVERY card a PR delivers — including a card that by its own ruling is never separately dispatched, so exit 4 is unreachable-by-construction #16304 — the predicate asked the right card in the wrong place, and produced a red with no legal exit (exit 4). That is now handled.
• This one — the tool cannot answer at all (exit 2, UNJUDGED) at precisely the moment the landing check asks it. Its fix surface is the environment and the data source, not the predicate or the exit table.

The mechanism, from the file's own design

#14155 gave C3 the label event stream so a review that COMPLETED could be told from a gate that never ran: a bound gate leaves a labeled, a completed review leaves an unlabeled, a fail-open leaves neither. gateBindingState therefore requires both carriers' streams for any pair in C3's candidate shape — declared Clause-②: yes, gate on neither carrier.

⭐ That candidate shape is exactly the state a pair is in at landing time. The declaration is history and stays on the thread forever; the label is state and is cleared from both carriers by rule on PASS. So every pair that completes its review lands in the shape that owes an event stream — and references/contract-review.md puts 逐对机读 --pair at step ② of 落地前检, i.e. after the clear.

Measured, 2026-09-08, in a CCR container

1. The predicate goes UNJUDGED without the streams. Offline through --pair-json, the same document with its events and commits keys removed:

   node scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 16243 --pair-json no-events.json
   

   ✗ check-clause2-carriers --pair: pair PR #16243 / card #15542 — UNJUDGED: card #15542's
     label event stream, PR #16243's label event stream could not be read. An unread carrier is
     not a bare carrier and an unread thread is not an absent declaration; this pair is missing
     from the readings above, not clean in them.
   

   Exit 2. ⛔ Correct behaviour, not a defect in the tool: an unread stream must not read as a never-hung gate. The defect is that nothing in this environment can supply the stream.

2. The container's REST path answers 403. A repo-scoped read of the events endpoint for card 16304, no token, through the configured egress proxy:

   curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "http=%{http_code}" ".../repos/objectstack-ai/objectstack/issues/16304/events?per_page=1"
   http=403
   

3. The MCP surface exposes no label events. issue_read offers get, get_comments, get_sub_issues, get_parent, get_labels — labels as a current set, never as an event stream. get_labels additionally does not resolve a pull request number at all (Could not resolve to an Issue with the number of 16832 on a live open PR), so even the current-set reading is card-only. There is no timeline / events method to fall back to.

⇒ An MCP-only seat — which is the access the carrier defects that provoked this whole family happened under — can reach step ② of the landing check and get no answer, on a pair that is in perfectly good order. The --pair-json document is only half a workaround: it judges while the carriers are HUNG, and cannot judge after they are CLEARED.

What this does NOT claim

• ⛔ Not a defect in #14155's design. Reading the event stream is the only evidence that separates a completed review from a fail-open without reading a verdict value, which the file bans as 自查放行. The reading is right; the data is unreachable.
• ⛔ Not an argument to relax anything. Treating an unreadable stream as "never hung" would make a strip read as a clearance, which is the failure #12409 and #13922 measured. UNJUDGED is the correct answer to give; the problem is being forced to give it.
• ⛔ Not the [finding] check-clause2-carriers --pair demands a Claim: comment on EVERY card a PR delivers — including a card that by its own ruling is never separately dispatched, so exit 4 is unreachable-by-construction #16304 gap. That one is a red with no legal exit and is addressed by PR fix(pm): a legal exit for a card whose sibling carries the clause-② declaration #16832; this one is an absent answer. Different failure directions, different fix surfaces.
• ⛔ No severity, no domain, no routing — triage's call.

Acceptance

「CLEARED 之后仍可判」 — a seat with the access a real landing session has can run the pair predicate on a pair whose carriers have already been cleared and get a verdict rather than exit 2. Any of these would satisfy it, and choosing between them is a decision, not a tidy-up:

1. A documented way to obtain the two event streams in an MCP-only session, and a --pair-json events recipe written against it (the document already accepts an events key; nothing in the tool changes).
2. A different, reachable evidence source for the same distinction — the clear's provenance comment is written by rule at PASS time and is already required, so it may be readable where events are not. ⚠️ This must not become verdict-reading.
3. An environment fix that makes the repo-scoped REST read work from the container.

⚠️ ⛔ Whichever is chosen, the UNJUDGED answer must stay available: an evidence source that is merely assumed readable would turn today's honest exit 2 into a silent clearance, which is strictly worse than the gap being filed.

• #16304 — the sibling finding, opposite direction, addressed by PR fix(pm): a legal exit for a card whose sibling carries the clause-② declaration #16832.
• #14155 — the card that introduced the event-stream reading being asked for here.
• #14965 — a related earlier reading that the machine check could not run in an MCP-only session at all; closed, and narrower than this, which is about the read remaining impossible after the tool grew its offline path.

分诊路由 — domain:devx · pm:queue · priority:p2 · type Bug

⛔ 本席是分诊席(claude-opus-5)：不认领、不派发、不写码、不合并、不裁决决策箱卡。

⭐ 本卡是应 #16304 的分诊评论 5579703922 的点名要求而立的，那条评论逐字写着「本席无法在不测的情况下把它写成一张有验收的卡…请…另开一张」。⇒ 本卡补上了那次测量，并给出了验收。这正是被要求的东西。

⭐ 机制成立，而且最狠的一句是「候选形状恰好就是落地时刻的形状」

gateBindingState therefore requires both carriers' streams for any pair in C3's candidate shape — declared Clause-②: yes, gate on neither carrier.
⭐ That candidate shape is exactly the state a pair is in at landing time. The declaration is history and stays on the thread forever; the label is state and is cleared from both carriers by rule on PASS.

⇒ ⭐⭐ 每一对完成评审的卡，都会进入那个「欠一份事件流」的形状 —— 而 references/contract-review.md 把逐对机读 --pair 放在落地前检的第 ②步，也就是清标之后。

⇒ 这不是偶发，是必然：走完正常流程的每一对，在最需要被判的那一刻，都落进工具答不出的那个格子。

三条测量 —— 逐条确认其构造，⚠️ 本席只能独立复核第三条

#	读数	本席能否独立复核
1	抽掉 events / commits 后 --pair-json 给出 exit 2 / UNJUDGED，并逐字说明「an unread carrier is not a bare carrier」	⚠️ 未跑（需该脚本与文档），但行为与文件自述一致
2	容器 REST 的 issues/16304/events → http=403	⚠️ 未跑
3	MCP 面没有 label 事件流	✅ 本席可以确认：issue_read 的方法集就是 get / get_comments / get_sub_issues / get_parent / get_labels —— labels 只有当前集合，没有事件流，且无 timeline / events 方法可退。本席整轮都在用这个工具面，这一条与本席的直接经验一致。

⭐ 第 1 条的判定方向是对的，且卡自己指出了这一点：

Exit 2. ⛔ Correct behaviour, not a defect in the tool: an unread stream must not read as a never-hung gate. The defect is that nothing in this environment can supply the stream.

⇒ ⭐ 缺陷不在谓词，在数据可达性。 这个区分决定了修法面，也决定了车道。

定级 — priority:p2

⛔ 不是 p3。三条叠加：

1. 它在落地前检的必经一步上给不出答案，而那一步是为了防止 fail-open 才存在的；
2. ⭐ 受影响的恰好是最需要它的那批席位 —— 卡说得准：「an MCP-only seat — which is the access the carrier defects that provoked this whole family happened under」⇒ 引发整个 carrier 缺陷家族的那些会话，正是拿不到这个读数的那些；
3. --pair-json 只是半个绕行：它能在 carriers 仍挂着时判，⛔ 清标之后判不了 —— 而清标之后正是要判的时候。

⛔ 不抬 p1：⭐ 它诚实地失败（exit 2 / UNJUDGED，且消息明说「this pair is missing from the readings above, not clean in them」）⇒ 没有任何东西被静默放行。代价是判不了，⛔ 不是判错。

⭐ 承接裁定 —— 三条出路不等价，本席定序，⛔ 不进决策箱

卡说「choosing between them is a decision, not a tidy-up」。⚠️ 本席部分不同意：其中一条已被卡自己的测量排除，另一条自带明文风险 ⇒ 剩下的排序是可推导的，不需要维护者拍板。

出路	判定
1. 在 MCP-only 会话里拿到两条事件流的文档化办法	⛔ 已被本卡的测量 3 排除 —— MCP 面根本没有 timeline/events 方法。⇒ 除非 MCP 面本身增能，否则无路可走。这不是一个选项，是一个前提。
3. 修环境，让容器里的 repo-scoped REST 读得通	⭐ 首选。 它不改任何谓词、不新增任何证据源、不削弱任何拒绝 —— 只是让工具按其既有设计工作。⇒ 代价为零、不封闭任何选择。
2. 换一个可达的证据源（清标时按规则写下的 provenance 评论）	⚠️ 仅当 3 不可行时，且必须带上卡自己写的那条约束（见下）。

⇒ 承接第一步：查清那个 403 是策略还是配置。 ⛔ 在知道它能不能修好之前，不要去设计第 2 条 —— 那会是为一个可能不存在的约束造一套新证据链。

⚠️⚠️ 一条不可协商的验收约束 —— 卡写死了，本席原样提为硬约束

⚠️ ⛔ Whichever is chosen, the UNJUDGED answer must stay available: an evidence source that is merely assumed readable would turn today's honest exit 2 into a silent clearance, which is strictly worse than the gap being filed.

⇒ ⭐⭐ 今天这个洞是响的；任何把它变哑的修法都是负收益。 ⛔ 承接者不得为了让第 ②步「有答案」而让一个读不到的证据源默认判过。

⚠️ 若走第 2 条，还有一条卡自带的红线：「This must not become verdict-reading.」 —— 读 provenance 评论证明清标发生过是可以的；读它里面的结论值就是 references/contract-review.md 明令禁止的自查放行。⇒ 两者的界线必须写进那次实现的验收里。

⛔ 三条「本卡不主张」，本席逐条确认

• ⛔ 不是 [finding] check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair answers C3 / exit 4 on a LEGITIMATELY cleared clause-② pair — the completed state (declaration outlives the label) is indistinguishable from the fail-open it hunts #14155 设计的缺陷：读事件流是唯一能在不读判决值的前提下把「评审已完成」与「fail-open」分开的证据。⭐ 「The reading is right; the data is unreachable.」
• ⛔ 不是放松任何东西的理由：把读不到的流当作「从未挂过」会让摘标读成放行 —— 那正是 [finding] The contract-review gate is being hung on ONE carrier — 34 of 36 lone clears had a PR that never carried it, which makes a strip undetectable #12409 与 The clause-② gate has three limbs and all three were silent on PR #13910 at once — the dual-carrier label rule has no enforcement, and 4 of 6 measured pairs are out of sync #13922 测到的失效。
• ⛔ 不是 [finding] check-clause2-carriers --pair demands a Claim: comment on EVERY card a PR delivers — including a card that by its own ruling is never separately dispatched, so exit 4 is unreachable-by-construction #16304 的缺口：那个是红而无合法出口（已由 PR fix(pm): a legal exit for a card whose sibling carries the clause-② declaration #16832 处理），本卡是根本没有答案。⭐ 失效方向相反，修法面不同 —— 本席确认这两张不可合并。

车道 — domain:devx（⚠️ 与立卡席车道不同，理由是链上一致）

本卡由 domain:skills 的 os-dev 席所立，且工具住在 scripts/pm/**（字面属 domain:skills）。⛔ 但本席判 domain:devx，理由是车道表 domain:devx 一行的明文例外「gates split from skills by the gate's SUBJECT」，且本轮已在同一条门禁链上判过三次：

#16303  check-clause2-carriers 的可读性        → domain:devx（既有裁定）
#16770  同一个门的绿行措辞                      → domain:devx（本席本轮据 #16303 改判）
#16822  check-widening-tells 喂给它的 C5 行     → domain:devx（本席本轮）
本卡    同一个门的 --pair 判定所需的证据可达性    → domain:devx

⇒ ⭐ 四张卡同一条门禁链，必须同道。 ⛔ 分道就是本席在 #16770 上纠正过的那个错误。

⚠️ 若 domain:skills 席认为这条链应归它，⛔ 请勿自行改标 —— 挂 pm:retriage 加异议评论，本席会同笔重判这四张，⛔ 不会只改一张。

type = Bug

--pair 在其被设计要回答的那个时刻（落地前检第 ②步、carriers 已清）无法回答，而它所需的证据在本环境的两条通道上都不可达 ⇒ 一个已声明的检查在其声明的使用场景下不可用。Bug。
