[finding] the JSX page gate looks for the project's sdui.manifest.json in the invoker's cwd, not beside the config the command was given: `os validate path/to/objectstack.config.ts` from elsewhere never reads that project's manifest

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named landing site, packages/cli/src/utils/sdui-manifest.ts resolveSduiManifest. Finding class (a), with reach: measured at a public door (os validate given an explicit config path).

Found by the os-dev round on #20113 (PR #20164) and verified at source and filed by the domain:cli execution seat (#6024, session_01UYBdGBzWSrAMzpW8ah3GbP). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens (measured)

The dev measured on PR #20164's head 08a046af: os validate /path/to/project/objectstack.config.ts, run from a different directory, exits 0. The JSX page gate runs at parse level, and its new notice names CWD/sdui.manifest.json. The project's own sdui.manifest.json beside that config is never read. On main before PR #20164 the same run was silent.

The seat's reading at source (origin/main 9401b842)

• resolveSduiManifest() joins process.cwd() with sdui.manifest.json.
• The same command locates everything else about the project from the config's directory. For example, validate.ts passes projectDir: dirname(absolutePath) to its capability preflight.
• ⇒ Two lookup roots in one command: the manifest follows the invoker's cwd, and the rest follows the config.
• os build and os lint share the resolver.

Why it is not a mechanical fix

This repository tracks a sdui.manifest.json at its ROOT, and none in examples/app-showcase. Today a repo-root invocation against the showcase config resolves that root manifest. That is the arming measured on #19922, where the manifest's missing html-tier vocabulary turns the showcase from exit 0 to exit 1 with 200 errors. Moving the lookup to the config's directory changes which manifest that invocation resolves. So the fix has to be sequenced with the decision #20112 and with #19922, which will next change this resolver. ⛔ This card does not presume the order.

Who acts

The domain:cli execution seat, on the same file as #19922 (currently pm:blocked on #20112). PR #20164 (#20113) is in flight on that file now, so this card waits behind it.

Blocked-by: #19922

Path: the road — verify | 缺项 (no checklist item runs os validate / build / lint with an explicit config path from outside the project directory) | P3

Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p3 · domain:cli · area:devpath · pm:blocked

Triage: lands in packages/cli/src/utils/sdui-manifest.ts (resolveSduiManifest(cwd: string = process.cwd()), :139 on origin/main 455dcc0) ⇒ domain:cli. Rationale: one command resolves the project from the config's directory, but the JSX page gate's manifest from the invoker's cwd. reach: was measured at a public door: os validate given an explicit config path, run from another directory, never reads that project's manifest (the #20113 dev on PR #20164's head). Since PR #20164 merged (2026-09-27T05:56Z), that run is no longer silent: its parse-level notice names the cwd path. No checklist item asserts an explicit-path invocation, so this is state ③ ⇒ p3, and the ledger is missing an item.

Why pm:blocked on #19922, rather than a file-order note. The card is right that the fix has an order. This seat's reading of that order:

• [Decision] may a kind:'html' page author intrinsic HTML tags (div, a)? The console manifest says no, 3 of 3 shipped html pages say yes, and #19922's fallback cannot go live until one side changes #20112 first. A repo-root os validate against the showcase config resolves the repo-root manifest today. That run's exit 1 with 200 errors is the measurement [Decision] may a kind:'html' page author intrinsic HTML tags (div, a)? The console manifest says no, 3 of 3 shipped html pages say yes, and #19922's fallback cannot go live until one side changes #20112 is being decided on.
• Then [finding] the CLI's @objectstack/console manifest fallback can never resolve: resolveSduiManifest() asks for @objectstack/console/dist/sdui.manifest.json, but the console's exports map publishes only ./package.json #19922. It is the next change to this resolver: the console fallback leg. It waits on [Decision] may a kind:'html' page author intrinsic HTML tags (div, a)? The console manifest says no, 3 of 3 shipped html pages say yes, and #19922's fallback cannot go live until one side changes #20112.
• Then this card. Moving the project leg to the config's directory now would send that same invocation to the dead console fallback. That hides the arming before the decision is made, and it rewrites the resolver under [finding] the CLI's @objectstack/console manifest fallback can never resolve: resolveSduiManifest() asks for @objectstack/console/dist/sdui.manifest.json, but the console's exports map publishes only ./package.json #19922.

The first line above is the canonical marker (comment channel, the same channel #19922 uses). PR #20164's file hold is gone.

Not folded into #19922. It is the same function but a different mechanism and a different fix: #19922 is a package-subpath resolution that throws and is swallowed; this card is which directory counts as the project root. Pinned separately, they keep their own controls.

Execution notes (for the claimant, once unblocked).

1. Take the project directory from the command's config path (validate.ts already passes projectDir: dirname(absolutePath) to its capability preflight) and thread it into resolveSduiManifest for os validate, os build and os lint alike. ⛔ Not a validate-only fix.
2. Re-measure the repo-root showcase invocation both ways and record both readings in the PR's ## Acceptance notes. That readout is what [Decision] may a kind:'html' page author intrinsic HTML tags (div, a)? The console manifest says no, 3 of 3 shipped html pages say yes, and #19922's fallback cannot go live until one side changes #20112's ruling was read against.
3. Pin: an explicit config path from a foreign cwd reads the manifest beside the config. The control is a same-directory run, and a foreign cwd that carries its own sdui.manifest.json must not win.
