grants exist only at company, estate, and platform-project —
contract 1 §3.1 — so partial scope among SIBLING WORKSPACES of
one project is not constructible by grants and is not witnessed;
the constructible partial-scope cases are the project- and
estate-sibling ones above.) **Membership locality (§1.4):** a member-only reader queries
the workspace directly and receives its counts; the same reader
querying the workspace's parent (or any ancestor) receives the
§3.4-equivalent nonexistent-node response, and no ancestor
response for any other reader changes because of that membership.
3.**No-oracle witnesses:** the P1-only reader's estate-A1 response
above contains no field disclosing P2's or W3's existence
(closed-schema comparison against an estate-A1-granted reader's
response: identical field set, differing only in counts and
visible nodes). **Partial-scope hidden node:** the P1-only reader
— who sees estate A1 and the P1 subtree — queries hidden sibling
project P2 by its real id, and separately hidden workspace W3 by
its real id; each response satisfies the §3.4 equivalence
predicate against the same query naming a nonexistent id, under
one fixed request context with the declared volatile-field
normalization. **Cross-tenant:** an unauthorized reader naming company B receives
a response §3.4-equivalent to naming a nonexistent id. Each
equivalence check is executable byte comparison after the declared
normalization, not a shape judgment.
4.**Empty-vs-hidden witness (ruling):** a reader granted (direct
chain grant) on an empty platform-project receives it with zero
counts — every status key present at `0` (§2.5); with the grant
deleted, the same query returns the §3.4-equivalent
nonexistent-node response. An inherited-grant case: a company
grant makes an empty descendant platform-project visible with zero
counts.
5.**Cache-invalidation witnesses (conditional):** bound only if the
implementation caches — for EACH invalidator class, prime the
cache, commit one mutation of that class, and assert the next
query reflects it: a task status change, a task creation, a
membership removal (the member-readable workspace disappears from
its own node's next query), a workspace reparenting (both old and
new parent totals correct), and a grant revocation. A live
(cacheless) v1 implementation records that fact and the witnesses
bind at the PR that introduces a cache.
6.**Mutation witnesses:** the roll-up surface rejects every mutating
verb/command; a crafted attempt to issue a write through the
roll-up's database path fails at the read-only boundary (§4.2);
after any roll-up query, the row diff is empty across BOTH the
workspace tables and the hierarchy tables (contract 1 §6.7's
both-table zero-write assertion).
7.**Closed-schema witness:** the response is asserted field-exact
against the §2.5 recursive record at every depth — exactly
`id`/`type`/`name`/`totals`/`children` on every node, every typed
status present with explicit zeros, `children: []` at every
workspace record, the declared ascending-`id` ordering, no
wrapper field — and a response carrying any field outside the
record at any depth fails the assertion (carve-out boundary,
§2.3). The denial envelope is asserted field-exact against
contract 5 §4.2's envelope (§2.6).
8.**Non-authoritative and never-gate witnesses:** (a) a static
production import-graph inventory (hierarchy contract §6.3 style,
production code over `apps/` and `packages/`, tests excluded)
shows no production module imports the roll-up query module or its
result DTO into any SOT write path, any authorization/gating
decision path, or any persistence beyond the response lifetime —
asserted in both directions (the roll-up module's consumers are
enumerated and each is a presentation surface); (b) a behavioral
probe: with roll-up output artificially perturbed (test double),
no authorization outcome and no work-gating decision anywhere in
the fixture suite changes — proving no gate consumes it.
9.**Revocation witness:** after revoking the grant that made a
subtree readable, the next roll-up query excludes it (contract 2
§6.2 bound).
## 7. Drafting additions (PRD §12.1 disclosure)
Proposed drafting additions, visible here for ratification, each
severable; the aggregation itself, its authorization scope, its
read-only nature, and the no-oracle acceptance are traced to
`native-kanban-sot.md` §8 and are not additions:
1. The §3.2 node-visibility rule and the granted-but-empty behavior
(the ruling below).
2. The §3.3–§3.4 nonexistent-node response equivalence, with its
normalized-byte-equality predicate, as the concrete no-oracle
mechanism.
3. The §4.2 read-only-transaction mechanical enforcement.
4. The §4.3 cache option with transactional invalidation and the
§6.5 per-invalidator witnesses.
5. The §2.5 closed response schema as an amendment boundary.
6. The §1.4 membership-locality rule — membership-only readability
contributes at the workspace node only (this contract's
reconciliation of `native-kanban-sot.md` §8.1.3 "authorized on"
with contract 2 §3.1/§7.4's workspace-local membership).
7. The §5.3 legacy-row exclusion and the §5.3 pre-rank no-obligation
rule.
## Ruling request
Ruling requested (one decision): shall a node the reader holds an
effective chain role on (direct or inherited, §1.2) but whose
aggregation scope is empty appear in the roll-up with zero counts
(recommended — it lets the UI show a granted-but-empty subtree
honestly) — or, as the alternative, be indistinguishable from a
nonexistent node until it contains a readable workspace?
