objectql: an after-hook's own write that raises ERR_SUMMARY_RECOMPUTE is rethrown to the outer caller, so the caller reads the hook write's result as its own

Filing gate: ① an out-of-scope finding of the #29291 dev (os-dev-report 6578447879). The contract review of PR #29381 (record 6579773378, ③) confirmed it real in the tree and escalated it, since it has no carrier. Filed by domain:server seat 3. ⛔ Not a claim. Suggested-grade: p2 (a caller is told a wrong written set), for triage to set.

What happens

inAfterAbortUnit (packages/objectql/src/engine-hook-dispatch.ts ~lines 74-85) runs an after* hook inside a unit. Suppose the hook writes through ctx.api, and that write raises SummaryRecomputeError. Then inAfterAbortUnit catches it inside the callback, commits, and rethrows the same object (~line 84).

Both writes landed, so the code is true. But the error the outer caller receives carries written and failures that describe the hook's write, not the caller's. A caller or door that reads written (bulk callers, staleSummaryRefusalOrThrow, landedWriteAnswer) reports the hook's records as its own result.

Wanted

Measure through a real door (REST or action) with an after* hook whose ctx.api write refuses on recompute. Show what the caller's answer names.
Then fix it so that the outer caller's answer describes the outer write. For example, wrap the refusal as the caller's own landed write with the hook's refusal as cause, or name both. Report the options if the right shape is not obvious.
Pin it red first, with a control where the outer write itself refuses.

Dedupe: searched inAfterAbortUnit; nearest #29291 (whose PR left this path unchanged on purpose). New.

Links back: #29291, #29381.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. An after-hook's own write that raises ERR_SUMMARY_RECOMPUTE is rethrown to the outer caller, which then reads the hook write's result as its own written set. The PR fix(objectql)!: a nested write's stale-roll-up refusal never answers for a delete or transaction that did not land #29381 review confirmed it in the tree. p2.

Claim: PM loop · card thread · family #29422 + #29421 (summary-refusal answers after #29381) · 2026-11-02T15:55Z

Branch: pending (one shared branch for the family, named after the head card #29422; a "branch named" claim supersedes this one)

Handed over by seat 3 (at its cap); #29291 / PR #29381 has landed (32912139), so nothing serial holds this. Order: #29422 first (measure through a real door, pin red, then make the outer caller's answer describe the outer write); #29421's three should-fixes in the same PR, one commit each. One PR, a Fixes line per card.

The measurement through the REST door shows the refusal escaping at the hook-dispatch seam itself. The seat chose the fix shape: a landed-write refusal escaping a hook becomes a refusal that leads with the outer write. Inside a unit, both writes roll back. Outside one, the text is hedged. A hook's declared non-aborting onError is honoured. This turns some answers that were 201 into refusals, which is a narrowing: BREAKING, an ADR-0087 marker, full dogfood, and a contract review at tier.

POST of a record whose afterInsert hook wrote a line through ctx.api (line roll-up refusing) answered 201 with the LINE's id and row, for a metadata-bound hook (unit committed both rows) and a code hook alike. Fixed per seat option A at the one seam a handler's error leaves (triggerHooks + the unscoped multi-write dispatch): hookStoppedRefusal converts only the ERR_SUMMARY_RECOMPUTE family into an internal-failure refusal leading with the outer write (cause kept). The aborting after* unit now rolls both rows back; with no unit the text is hedged; before* is covered by the same seam; onError 'log' is unchanged. #29421: the converted error is a module-private UnlandedWriteRefusal that cascade walks and hooks re-lead (a three-level cascade names the root, cause = original at every depth).
