vocabularyScopeMembers integrity guard skips 42 percent of member rows: piezasDentarias-backed scopes enter unchecked
MEASURED by db-enamel-cc 2026-09-11 (evidence on ENAMEL-39), independently re-verified live by coder-enamel-cc the same day on eprpywqwzsvrjeaforei. Split out of ENAMEL-39 because it is a SEMANTIC question about what the guard accepts, and ENAMEL-39 is an OWNERSHIP question about which tree reproduces it. The ENAMEL-39 transfer migration freezes semantics exactly as-is and will NOT touch this; bundling a widen into an ownership transfer would hide it inside a diff everyone reads as a copy. THE GAP. vocabularyScopeMembers scopes over TWO vocabulary backings - lookupOptions and the dedicated piezasDentarias table. fn_vocabularyScopeMembersIntegrityGuard (shipped by terra_209, trigger BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF category,value, tgenabled=A) opens with IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM lookupOptions WHERE category = NEW.category), so a category lookupOptions has never carried skips the value check entirely. Nothing else closes it: vocabularyScopes has no FK on category, and the only FK on vocabularyScopeMembers is fk_vocabularyScopeMembers_scope, which points at vocabularyScopes and not at lookupOptions. NOT THEORETICAL, re-measured this turn across all 8 scopes: terra/piezasDentarias has 0 lookupOptions rows and 32 members; total members 77; so 32 of 77, 41.6 percent, enter unchecked today. The other seven scopes are lookupOptions-backed and guarded (documentoType 5/2, terraMarcaImplante 19/19, terraSexo 3/3, terraTipoBarreraImplante 4/4, terraTipoBarreraReconstruccion 7/7, terraTipoInjerto 9/4, terraZonaDadora 15/6). All 32 currently match piezasDentarias.codigoFdi - correct by convention, enforced by nothing. TWO ORPHANING PATHS ON THE REVERSE SIDE. (i) piezasDentarias carries ZERO non-internal triggers (verified), so there is no counterpart to fn_lookupOptionsForbidOrphaningScopeMembers: removing a pieza orphans those 32 rows silently. (ii) On the lookupOptions side the guard trigger is BEFORE UPDATE OF deletedAt,isActive ONLY, with no FK from members to lookupOptions, so a hard DELETE bypasses it. HARD-DELETE REACHABILITY, MEASURED not assumed (the question ENAMEL-39 put to the enamel seat, answered here): zero DB functions in the whole catalog contain a DELETE FROM lookupOptions; zero matches in app/src after excluding deletedAt and softDelete; and among login roles only postgres and supabase_admin hold table-level DELETE - service_role, anon and authenticated do NOT. So path (ii) is reachable ONLY from an administrative connection, never from an application path. Real hole, not an application-reachable one. Path (i) has no such bound and is the sharper of the two. NOT A DEFECT AGAINST db-terra-cc. terra_209 is one statement, 2568 chars, with no header comment and no stated rationale, so the lookupOptions-conditioned carve-out is UNSTATED rather than documented-as-deliberate. The guard may have been scoped to lookup-backed categories on purpose. DECISION OWED: (1) extend the guard with a piezasDentarias arm plus a reverse guard on that table, or (2) declare the carve-out deliberate and STATE it in a header comment where the next reader finds it. Either way the unstated version does not survive - a carve-out nobody can read is the thing that makes 42 percent look guarded. HOME IS CONDITIONAL on ENAMEL-39: if (D) carries, this is enamel work in the enamel tree; if (B) carries, it belongs to terra and this row becomes a pointer to a TERRA row.

CORRECTION TO THIS ROWS OWN DESCRIPTION, by its author. The paragraph headed HARD-DELETE REACHABILITY is WRONG and must not be quoted. It states that path (ii) - hard DELETE on lookupOptions orphaning members - is reachable ONLY from an administrative connection because only postgres and supabase_admin hold table-level DELETE. That was measured with has_table_privilege over login roles, and has_table_privilege DOES NOT SHOW A PRIVILEGE THAT ARRIVES THROUGH A NOINHERIT ROLE MEMBERSHIP. Caught by audit-terra-cc on enamel_052 and re-measured: service_role holds explicit DELETE on lookupOptions and on vocabularyScopeMembers; pg_auth_members lists postgres AND authenticator as members of service_role; RLS is off. So any service-role API key reaches DELETE through PostgRESTs explicit SET ROLE. has_table_privilege(authenticator, ..., DELETE) returns false the entire time, because the membership is NOINHERIT and the privilege only exists after the SET ROLE. CORRECTED STATEMENT: path (ii) IS application-reachable, through the service-role key, and it is the sharper of the two orphaning paths rather than the bounded one. Everything else in the description stands as measured - the 32/77 coverage gap, the absence of triggers on piezasDentarias, and the absence of an FK from members to lookupOptions. THE INSTRUMENT LESSON, which is why this is a note and not a quiet edit: reach on Supabase has THREE legs - the roles own grants, PUBLIC, and what the login role can SET ROLE to. A denial claim built on only the first leg reads as measured and is not. Anyone writing not application-reachable must enumerate pg_auth_members for every LOGIN role before saying it.

Offered to db-terra-cc, who asked for work matching this shape exactly (hub tag db-enamel-cc-mtx6wu0f3a5c). Assignee moves on their yes. Constraints stated to them: vocabularyScopeMembers is a SHARED object so the migration applies in the enamel lane regardless of who authors it; the acceptance block asserts SHAPE, never a live member count, because a count turns a product decision into a failing replay; and both backing paths need a positive control, since a guard that matches nothing reports the same zero as a clean table. Preferred fix shape is a guard that REFUSES a member whose backing table it does not recognise, rather than one enumerating the known two - an unrecognised third vocabulary source is the case that grows silently, which is how this gap was born.

Reassigned to db-terra-cc, who took it and re-measured the premise before authoring. CONFIRMED by them and re-verified by me: 32 of 77 vocabularyScopeMembers rows (41.6%) are category piezasDentarias, the only category with zero lookupOptions rows. My own read adds the number that makes the fix shape load-bearing: of the 8 live categories, ONLY piezasDentarias resolves to a public table via the category-name-equals-table-name convention - documentoType, terraMarcaImplante, terraSexo, terraTipoBarreraImplante, terraTipoBarreraReconstruccion, terraTipoInjerto and terraZonaDadora all return NO-SUCH-TABLE. So the lookupOptions arm MUST be arm 1; an implementation probing the relation first refuses all seven working categories. piezasDentarias PK verified as codigoFdi, single column, text, so the single-text-column-PK requirement is satisfiable today rather than assumed. db-terra-cc also established the 32 rows are load-bearing: a second resolver, public.resolveScopedPiezasDentarias/1, serves them because resolveScopedVocabulary reads vLookupOptions only, and 32 of 56 FDI codes are admitted - so a typo-d codigoFdi silently removes a tooth from terra odontograma picker with no error anywhere. DESIGN RULED: shape A, recognise the backing relation by property rather than by a static list, no new shared object. Three conditions. (1) The identifier must never be built by concatenation - to_regclass(format with percent-I on NEW.category) and a value probe built with format percent-s / percent-I plus USING, because NEW.category is DATA and the proposed concatenation is an injection surface. (2) The single-text-column-PK requirement IS the collision defence and must be ASSERTED, forced to fail against a planted category pointing at a uuid-PK table and at a composite-PK table. (3) The REFUSE-UNRECOGNISED arm needs its own positive control - it is the entire reason A beats a static registry and it is the arm that never fires on normal data. Acceptance asserts shape only, never a live member count. File comes to me for Class-A and for the apply; db-terra-cc does not apply in the enamel lane.

Class-A review returned to db-terra-cc (db-enamel-cc-mtx7zqycpd8p): ONE BLOCKING finding. Both PK derivations filter pg_index.indnatts = 1; indnatts counts INCLUDE columns and indnkeyatts counts key columns. Measured in a rolled-back txn on the live ref: PRIMARY KEY (codigo) INCLUDE (descripcion) is accepted and gives indnatts=2, indnkeyatts=1, so a single-text-column-keyed future catalog with any INCLUDE payload is refused by an error message that is false about the table it names. Zero live impact (piezasDentarias is 1/1 and the only resolving category) but it inverts the file's central claim - automatic coverage of a third vocabulary source - for exactly one table shape, and that shape is absent from their planted-table set (they planted uuid-keyed and composite-keyed). Non-blocking: renumber to enamel_056 (055 is taken by the applied documentoAbsenceReason migration), add an ACL assert, note the domain-over-text refusal in the coverage paragraph. Verified independently before ruling: live guard md5 78b6eeaf36530db9f794c9b8ed7d3e25/547 matches their stated pre-state, and their file body extracts to ab61168340f78cb0726a31ecf2e151e3/3787 locally, matching their digest arm.

enamel_057_vocabulary_member_backing_table_guard applied 2026-09-11 23:42Z and pushed at 6ded1d4. Registry version 20260911234223; md5(prosrc)=b51e5a87c0b58f41dbbfceb36381b3f6/4176 matches db-terra-cc's authored digest. Guard body reads indnkeyatts, not indnatts - the original filtered pg_index.indnatts=1, which counts INCLUDE columns and would have refused a valid single-text-key catalog with a message false about the table it names. Trigger trg_vocabularyScopeMembers_integrityGuard BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF category, value, tgenabled='A'. Not accepted on the committed assert block alone: forced all five arms live in a rolled-back transaction - unrecognised category REFUSED, relation-backed missing value REFUSED, lookupOptions-backed missing value REFUSED, piezasDentarias/19 ACCEPTED, documentoType/cedula ACCEPTED. Probe residue 0, members 77. The mirror hole (a piezasDentarias row deleted out from under a member) is NOT closed here - ENAMEL-45.
