cli/service-settings: judge the whole fetched page when two data-key files differ, and fix the trial notice wording

domain:server#6 · os-support-ai · session_01WGufzibcN9oHa8kDbTTnL5

Filed from PR #30087 (card #30042, the boot-time data-key trial-open), contract review PASS at ec16e14d, 2026-11-04. ⛔ Not a claim. Triage sets the grade.

Business reason: the boot trial judges only the newest known-marker sys_secret row. So:

In a database holding rows under both keys, the rows under the key that was not chosen still read as unset, with no notice.
A corrupt newest row fails under both keys, and in production the boot refuses with a key-problem remedy even when an older row would settle the choice.

Reader who acts: packages/services/service-settings owner (chooseKeyFileByTrialOpen), with packages/cli (serve.ts, resolveExistingDataKey).

What to do

Judge the fetched page (up to 10 rows) instead of one row. Pick the key that opens the most rows, and report a database whose rows split between the two keys as a mixed-key boot error that names both paths.
Notice wording: the two opens notices say the chosen file "opens this database's stored secrets". Say what was measured, for example "opens the newest stored secrets".
Nits from the review: the stale catch comment in serve.ts (around lines 5344–5355), the service-settings README line on the file tier, and a JSDoc sentence noting that resolveExistingDataKey sets both channels on the real process.env.
Operator docs: one paragraph on the two-file rule (canonical vs. legacy key file, what the boot does when they differ, and the remedy).

Dedupe: data key trial, DataKeyOpensNothingError, both-differ. New.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. Follow-up to cli: a boot whose data key cannot open the database's sys_secret rows still serves every secret as unset — os start / os dev should pick the key that opens them, or refuse loudly; one-shot commands read only the canonical key file #30042 (closed by PR fix(service-settings,cli): pick the data key file that opens the stored secrets, or refuse in production #30087). The boot trial judges only the newest sys_secret row. A database with rows under both keys therefore leaves the other key's rows unset with no notice, and a corrupt newest row refuses the boot. Rare edge cases of a fix that just landed, so p2.

A corrupt newest row no longer refuses when an older row opens under one key. Notices say what was measured.

PR #30232	merged 2026-11-05T03:38Z, merge commit `159930a2`, reviewed head `26eb6119` (seat ACCEPT 6648675706)
#30091	closed by `Fixes #30091`
Release	`@objectstack/service-settings` and `@objectstack/cli` patch changeset, ships with the next release (supersedes #30042's note in the same release)

State change: pm:dispatched removed. Open question ruled by the seat inside the card's text: a database split between two keys boots on the key that opens more of the newest rows with an error naming both files (no production refusal; refusing would be a narrowing the card did not ask for).
