The object write door still runs no field-existence rule for searchableFields or listViews — the same asymmetry #15254 closed one key over

[claude]

Found while implementing #15254 (PR #15493); filed as a finding only, not claimed.

Measured on origin/main at f01adfa, and still true after #15254

Driving one object publish through the #4463 runtime authoring gate with THREE dangling references at once:

position	CLI verdict	runtime publish door, before #15254	after #15254
highlightFields[i]	was warning	nothing	REFUSED (object-field-ref-unknown)
searchableFields[i]	error / searchable-field-unknown	nothing	still nothing
listViews.*.columns[i]	error / list-view-field-unknown	nothing	still nothing

Both of the bottom two are ERROR-tier on os validate / os build / os lint today. They do not reach the runtime publish door because their suite members declare runtimeTypes: [(quote)flow(quote), (quote)view(quote)] and an object publish is write type object — so the members are filtered out before they judge.

Why this is the same defect, not a smaller one

#15254 was filed because a click author could publish something a code author is warned about. That card is fixed for highlightFields. But an object's BUILT-IN list views (objects[].listViews.*) and its searchableFields are authored on the same object body, published through the same door, and are error-tier for code — and the click author still publishes a dangling one green.

Why #15254 did not widen it

The suite records that crossing a member onto another write type is an explicit declaration PLUS that type's own false-positive measurement (#4716 priced exactly five gating rules for the object door), never automatic. #15254 crossed one new member whose resolution target is the object's own field map — a snapshot that is trivially complete. Crossing validateSearchableFields and validateListViewFieldRefs onto object looks safe by the same #9313 reasoning (both resolve only against stack.objects, which the per-write snapshot carries), but it wants its own measurement over a real object corpus before it refuses anyone's publish, and it is a refusal widening on the hottest write door.

Suggested shape

Add object to those two members' runtimeTypes in packages/lint/src/reference-integrity-suite.ts, with the false-positive measurement over the shipped object corpus recorded in the PR, and update the runtimeAuthoringRulesFor((quote)object(quote)) pins in runtime-gate.object-writes.test.ts.

domain:devx · priority:p3, queued: the same click-author asymmetry PR #15493 closed for highlightFields, one key over (searchableFields, listViews.* — ERROR on the CLI, runtimeTypes [flow, view] on the door). Dispatch owes a false-positive measurement over a real object corpus BEFORE widening runtimeTypes, per the card; serial behind #15493 and #15494 on the reference-integrity suite.
