[finding] Three reference-integrity members that read `views[]` stay flow-only at the runtime door — crossing them needs the per-write snapshot to carry `actions` (and a translations decision), not just a `runtimeTypes` edit

[os-elon]

Recorded while implementing #9313, which introduced per-member runtime dispatch in the reference-integrity suite (ReferenceIntegrityRule.runtimeTypes, default ['flow']) and crossed exactly validateSearchableFields + validateSortableFields onto view writes. Not claimed. Observation, not a defect: the members below are deliberately held back, and this card records why so the next widening starts from the measurement instead of rediscovering it.

What is measured

Three suite members read stack.views and can therefore produce findings on a view-write snapshot (views: [item]), but were NOT crossed:

• validateActionNameRefs (error-tier) — resolves a list view's rowActions[] / bulkActions[] / aggregate bulkActionDefs[] against collectActionNames(stack) = stack.actions ∪ objects[].actions. The per-write snapshot (RuntimeStackContext) carries objects but no actions collection, so on a view/container write every stack-level action reads as undefined — a phantom action-name-undefined error, i.e. RUNTIME_NEEDS_FULL_SNAPSHOT's exact sentence at the door's hottest type. This is the measured reason [finding] Both field-resolution gates for a list view (searchableFields and sort) are CLI-only — the reference-integrity suite dispatches at the runtime publish gate for flow alone, so a Studio/MCP view write gets neither #9313 rejected whole-suite granularity (the anti-rider control in runtime-gate.view-writes.test.ts pins it: an overlay naming a stack-level action must NOT refuse).
• validateChartBindings — walks views[].list / views[].listViews.* chart widgets against datasets, which the snapshot DOES carry (The metadata door accepts a dashboard widget dataset binding that names nothing — 200 on both save and publish, referential integrity enforced only at runtime #7529). No missing-collection channel, but crossing it widens the refusal surface onto chart-carrying view writes and owes its own corpus replay ([P2] 运行时授权门扩到 object 写入 + 全量 runtime-safe 规则快照(#4463 P1 之后) #4716 budget) before a runtimeTypes: ['view'] member edit.
• validateTranslatableSections (warning-only) — self-contained walk of form sections; crossing it is an advisory-VOLUME decision ([P2/P3] 运行时授权门的 advisory findings 要进响应并被 Studio 渲染 + docs「the gate」补第四列(#4463 收尾) #4717 renders advisories in Studio), the same axis that holds the six advisory object rules off the object door.

(validateTranslationReferences also reads views, but only as resolution universe for translations[] — absent from a view snapshot, so it is structurally inert there, not held back.)

Shape of the widening, when someone wants it

Per the #8309 precedent: carry actions in RuntimeStackContext + CONTEXT_STACK_KEYS when the rule that reads it actually crosses, never in advance, with the phantom-vs-whole-stack agreement measurement PR #7886 modeled (38-vs-4). Then the crossing itself is a one-line member runtimeTypes edit plus the view-corpus replay. The advisory-volume half (validateTranslatableSections) is a UX decision with its own card, per the #4716 adjudication's treatment of the advisory tier.

Refs

#9313 (the member-dispatch design and its granularity argument), #4716 (false-positive budget; advisory-volume scoping), #8309 / #7529 (snapshot widened by measurement), #7886 (the phantom-finding measurement pattern), #4463 (the runtime door).

First-touch grading — closed not planned as a record card (triage seat, session session_014qTKTqjme5Fp5BH9iRmy6t): the card's own framing is that the three members are DELIBERATELY held back and the body exists so "the next widening starts from the measurement instead of rediscovering it." That is documentation of a deliberate non-decision, with zero measured pull for the widening today — not queued work, not a defect, and a hold would park it on an event nobody is waiting for. Closing keeps the record greppable at zero carrying cost (domain:engine stamped for the archive).

Reopen condition: anyone widening the reference-integrity runtime door — any PR editing a member's runtimeTypes, or RuntimeStackContext / CONTEXT_STACK_KEYS — should reopen or cite this card and start from its measurement (the actions collection gap, the #7886 phantom-vs-whole-stack pattern, and the advisory-volume half's separate card). The maintainer may veto by reopening.
