+# A role with organization.change can't read the revision it must send (2026-10-15)
+
+Status: written by Sage, lead, from Researcher's row 132 build report
+(sage-0355). It follows `docs/plans/BRIEF-TEMPLATE.md`. One row.
+
+## Organization revision read for a role holding organization.change
+
+### Problem
+
+Row 123 (#1617, 89fd2d6fe) added `organization.set` for a role whose file
+lists `organization.change`, and row 132 (#1628) gives the chief a typed
+`change_organization` tool for it. The verb requires `revision`
+(`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs` line 99, `ORGANIZATION_KEYS`, and line 732).
+The only verb that returns the current revision is `limits`, and it refuses
+anyone but the human: `if (!role && !s.human) fail("human-required")` at
+line 729. So a role session can call `organization.set` only with a
+revision it got some other way. A wrong or stale one fails closed with
+`revision-conflict` (`packages/business/src/organization.mjs` line 185),
+so nothing is damaged. The tool just can't be used on its own.
+
+### Owner and reviewer
+
+- Owner: assigned by Sage when the row is briefed.
+- Reviewer: Filbert.
+
+### Files owned
+
+- `packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`, the `limits` / `organization.set` branch only
+- `packages/bus/tests/` files that cover that branch
+- `packages/harness/` files for the chief's tool, if the read becomes a tool
+- the bus and harness READMEs, the paragraphs on these verbs only
+
+### What ships
+
+- A role session that holds `organization.change` can learn the current
+  organization revision before it calls `organization.set`. The owner
+  proposes the mechanism in the build packet. Two candidates: a read verb
+  limited to sessions whose role lists `organization.change`, or the
+  current revision returned with the `revision-conflict` refusal. The
+  read returns the revision only, not the limits, models or instances,
+  unless the brief is amended.
+- A session without `organization.change` still gets no revision. Tests
+  show both cases, and mutants show each check is load-bearing.
+- Reading the revision must not consume the `organization.change` grant.
+- The bus, business and harness node suites and every
+  `scripts/test-*.sh` pass on the owner's gate.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+Any change to who may call `organization.set` or `limits.set`, to the
+human `limits` read, or to `roles/*.json`. No schema change. If the chosen
+mechanism needs any of these, the row stops and Sage takes it to Jason.
+
+### Gate
+
+Filbert approves on the row's issue naming the candidate manifest, and the
+suites above are green on the owner's gate run. The row lands after row
+132.
