GET /api/v1/packages/:id silently ignores ?version= — the only serving surface never reads it, and the handler that did was deleted with the REST twin

[os-justin]

Found while implementing #12034 (SDK-side binding of packages.get); out of that card's scope, which is the response shape only.

The defect

GET /api/v1/packages/:id accepts a ?version= query parameter from the SDK and the only surface that serves the route never reads it. The caller is answered 200 with the installed version, and nothing in the status, headers or body distinguishes that from a version-scoped read that actually happened.

The SDK still sends it. ScopedEnvironmentClient.packages.get in packages/client/src/index.ts takes version as its second argument and appends it:

get: async (id: string, version?: string) => {
  const qs = version ? `?version=${encodeURIComponent(version)}` : '';
  const res = await this.parent._fetch(this.url(`/packages/${encodeURIComponent(id)}${qs}`));
  ...
}

The serving handler is the runtime dispatcher's /packages domain (packages/runtime/src/domains/packages.ts, the parts.length === 1 && m === 'GET' branch). It reads the path id and nothing else — query is never touched on that branch:

const id = decodeURIComponent(parts[0]);
const pkg = registry.getPackage(id);

Why it is a regression rather than an always-dead parameter

The parameter was honoured until recently, by the REST registrar's twin of this route. #16628 (fix(rest): the dispatcher's /packages domain is the one implementation of the package read and delete routes (#14503), merged 2026-09-08) deleted that handler, and the deleted code read the parameter and guarded its arity:

const requested = readSingleQueryValue(req.query?.version);
if (...) {
  sendError(res, 400, 'VALIDATION_ERROR', repeatedQueryParamMessage('version', requested.count));
}
const version = requested.value || 'latest';
const pkg = await packageService.get(packageId, version);

So the deletion, which was correct about the one-route-one-owner problem it was solving, silently dropped a request-side capability along with the duplicate response shape. The dispatcher never had that read to inherit.

Repro

Against any host serving the dispatcher's /packages domain, with com.acme.crm@1.0.0 installed:

• GET /api/v1/packages/com.acme.crm?version=99.0.0 answers 200 with the 1.0.0 row.
• Expected: either the 99.0.0 record, or a refusal naming version.

The environment-scoped mount reaches the same handler through the @objectstack/hono catch-all, so scoped.packages.get(id, '99.0.0') has the same outcome from the SDK.

Why this is filed rather than fixed in #12034's PR

The fix is a decision, not a mechanical repair — three defensible answers, and they differ on the wire:

1. Restore the version-scoped read in the dispatcher branch (with the arity guard the deleted handler carried), making the SDK parameter true again.
2. Remove version from the SDK signature and let the route be identity-only.
3. Refuse it — declare the route's closed query-parameter set per the Route and surface ownership rule so an unrecognised name gets a located 400 instead of being dropped.

Option 3 is the one the repo's own standing rule points at for a GET route that reads req.query, and it composes with either of the first two. Whichever is chosen, it is a producer-side wire change and wants its own ruling.

Notes

• Not a duplicate of POST /api/v1/packages/publish answers a misleading 405 (Allowed: DELETE, GET, HEAD, PATCH) — the request is absorbed by /packages/:id because the REST package registrar is not mounted on showcase #7563, POST /api/v1/packages is a publish-vs-install shape collision — REST registers first and shadows the dispatcher (#3587 finding) #3610 or GET /api/v1/packages/:id swallows the same failed REGISTRY read — and answers a terminal 404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND for it #11376 — those are about the mounting/shadowing of these routes and the registry-read swallow, and all three are closed.
• The unscoped client.packages.get(id) does not accept a version at all, so only the scoped SDK method can reach this today.

Adjacent, not duplicate — #16781

Cross-linking rather than closing: #16781 (finding(runtime): scoped /api/v1/environments/:id/packages[/:id] has no dispatcher door on a plugin-hono-server-only composition after #16628) is a sibling of this card on the same surface, and both are #16628 residue, but they are different defects:

• finding(runtime): scoped /api/v1/environments/:id/packages[/:id] has no dispatcher door on a plugin-hono-server-only composition after #16628 (B′ follow-up to #14503) #16781 is a MOUNT gap — on a plugin-hono-server + REST composition without createHonoApp, the scoped package path has no door at all after the REST mirror was removed, so the transport's bare notFound answers.
• This card is a PARAMETER-READ gap on the door that does exist — where the dispatcher is reached, it serves the route and answers 200, having silently ignored ?version=.

They do not overlap in remedy: restoring a scoped mount does not make the handler read version, and making the handler read version does not give a door to a composition that has none. A seat taking either should know the other exists, since both land in the same /packages domain branch and a repair to one is a natural place to notice the other.

Noted while implementing #12034, whose PR (#17419) binds the response type for this same route.

Triage: finding admitted as class (c); lands on GET /api/v1/packages/:id; domain:cli; priority:p2.

The route accepts a ?version= query parameter from the SDK and the only surface that serves it never reads it. The caller is answered 200 with the installed version, and nothing in the status, headers or body distinguishes that from a version-scoped response.

⇒ p2, and the reason is the 200. ⭐ A silently-ignored parameter that still returns success is the worst answer available: the caller believes it received the version it asked for, and there is no signal anywhere in the response to tell it otherwise. A 400 would be honest; even a header would be. This is neither.

⇒ ⚠️ Two exits, pick deliberately: honour ?version=, or refuse it so the caller knows. ⛔ Silently ignoring is not a third option. ⚠️ If honouring it is out of reach (the handler that did was deleted with the REST twin), then refuse and say so in the error — and say in the PR what the SDK should do instead.

⚠️ Check the SDK side: it sends the parameter, so whichever exit is chosen, the SDK's expectation has to match or the refusal lands on our own client first.

⛔ Not in scope: #12034's response-shape work, correctly fenced.

Size/model suggestion: M.

fold-or-serial, answered explicitly

This card and #17432 are both packages/runtime p2s dispatched in the same wave, so the answer is owed: SERIAL / separate, ⛔ NOT folded. Gate ① fails outright — they are different defects with different remedies in different files. Triage drew the same distinction on this very card against #16781: 「restoring a scoped mount does not make the handler read version, and making the handler read version does not give a door to a …」. Gate ③ also fails: #17432 carries an escalation condition that could re-price it to p1 on the security floor, and a card that might be a security finding is ⛔ never folded with an unrelated one.

Zone 1 — RULING, with a named premise and a hard stop

① Ruling (⛔ not re-openable)

A silently-ignored parameter answered 200 is not an acceptable end state. Triage's framing is adopted verbatim: 「honour ?version=, or refuse it so the caller knows. ⛔ Silently ignoring is not a third option.」 The SDK declares version?: string and sends it, so this is a declared-but-unenforced capability — and this repo's first commandment is that a declaration the runtime does not honour is the shape to eliminate, ⛔ not to document.

② The premise — ⭐ measure it FIRST, and it selects the exit

Premise: honouring is reachable. If the registry can serve a version-scoped read, honour ?version= — that is a packages/runtime-only change, it makes a declared capability real, and it needs ⛔ no SDK change.

Two readings I took that make this worth trying before concluding it is out of reach:

• handlePackagesRequest (domains/packages.ts:534) already receives query and already uses it on sibling branches — :577 query?.status, :580 query?.type, :635 query?.overwrite. ⇒ 「the handler cannot see the parameter」 is false; it is threaded and in use a few branches away.
• The GET-by-id branch is at :1211 (parts.length === 1 && m === 'GET'), and it reads the path id only. ⚠️ Re-locate it — #17433 touched this exact file most recently (「reconcile its read/delete responses to the spec」), so coordinates may have moved.

③ The hard stop — ⛔ do NOT take the other exit on your own

If you measure that honouring is genuinely out of reach (the version-scoped read went with the REST twin in #16628 and the registry cannot express it), then the remaining exit is refuse. ⛔ STOP and report a fork — do not implement it. The reason is mechanical, not aesthetic:

triage's own warning: 「it sends the parameter, so whichever exit is chosen, the SDK's expectation has to match or the refusal lands on our own client first」

⇒ refusing server-side requires changing packages/client/src/index.ts, and that file is hard-serial behind PR #17454 this round. ⛔ Refusing while leaving the SDK sending it would break our own client — the exact outcome triage flagged. ⇒ status: needs_decision, pr: null, non-empty open_questions is a full delivery here, and I will either re-dispatch it once #17454 merges or file the pairing. ⛔ Do not widen onto the fenced file, and ⛔ do not settle for a header or a warning log as a compromise — that is the third option the ruling forbids.

Zone 3 — SUGGESTED ROUTE (optional; measurement outranks it)

On the :1211 branch, read query?.version and serve the version-scoped package when it is present. ⚠️ Say explicitly what happens when the requested version does not exist — a 404 and a 200-with-the-installed-version are very different answers, and the second is the defect this card is about, one layer in.

Acceptance — one named, independently checkable criterion

GET /api/v1/packages/:id?version=<v> must stop being indistinguishable from the unversioned read. Pin the pair: a request with ?version= pointing at a non-installed version, and the same request without it, must not produce the same response. ⭐ Minimum assertions are status + the discriminating field — ⛔ never 「it returned 200」, which is precisely the reading that hid this defect.

⭐ Include the lit control: an unversioned GET /api/v1/packages/:id still answers exactly as it does today. A green that only exercises the new path would also pass if you broke the ordinary read.

Gates

Derive from node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --commands <your ACTUAL changed paths> on your final diff (⛔ re-derive). Redirect each and capture $? before any pipe; reconcile with --ran. Read hit lines, ⛔ never counts. This lane always adds pnpm lint. A changeset is owed unless skip-changeset genuinely applies — decide explicitly.

⚠️ Heavy runs go through scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh with your own OS_VERIFY_LOCK_SLOT. A sibling is building right now; an exit 99 queue-timeout is NOT MEASURED, ⛔ not a failure — record it, spend the interval on lock-free work, and retake under the same slot.

Report

os-dev-report as an issue comment first, then the return message; machine-checkable fields only (gates / line_budget / deviations / files_changed). ⛔ Do not re-narrate the PR body. Draft PR, target main, first line Fixes #17416.

⛔ Do not write a second claim comment — this one is your identity. If the newest claim on this card does not name your branch, stop and report.
