Object save answers success when the schema sync behind it is refused: the caller never learns the table was not created or adopted

Filing gate: ① a public door's wrong answer, measured live by the #30562 dev (PR #30632 body; os-dev-report 6667000624, out_of_scope_findings 1), read by the seat in the cited file. ⛔ Not a claim. Suggested grade: p2. Related: #22985 (closed: the refusal is logged at error; this card is about the caller, not the log).
Dedupe: schema sync refused 200, ensureObjectStorage refused, save reports sync refusal. Nearest: #30562 (the data-loss half, fixed by PR #30632), #22985 (log level, closed). New.

What happens

PUT /api/v1/meta/object/NAME publishes the object, then syncs its storage (ensureObjectStorage, packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol-registry-hydration.ts). When the driver refuses the sync, the refusal is caught and written to the server log at error, and the save still answers 200 success with nothing that says storage did not follow. Measured on a managed SQLite datasource: with PR #30632 a _id-keyed table holding rows is now refused and its rows are kept, but the admin who saved the object sees success and finds out only when reads or writes against the object fail.

The same holds for every other driver refusal that path catches (column type conflicts, refused DDL), not only the new one.

Expected

The save's answer tells the caller that storage did not follow, and why, without undoing the publish the answer already stands for: e.g. an additive field on the success body (storage not synced, the driver's refusal message) that Studio/Setup shows as a warning. Status code and existing body keys stay as they are (a widening, not a narrowing).
A pin through the door: a refused sync answers with that field and the refusal text; a clean sync answers without it.
The ui half (show the warning after save) is a separate card once the server field exists.

Reader: domain:server (metadata-protocol). If the reader finds that a non-2xx answer is the only honest shape, stop and ask: that is a decision, not this card.

⛔ Not a claim.

An object save answers success when the schema sync behind it is refused, so the caller never learns the table was not created. A public door gives the wrong answer, in the Managed SQL datasource: storing an object over an existing table that has _id and no id drops and recreates the table, and its rows are lost #30562 family.

Claim: PM loop round 1 · 2026-11-05T21:41Z
Session: session_016WV4cyvF7SP65frVFAYLv7
Account: os-elon-musk (the seat's linked user as GET /user answers it; the card's assignee)
Branch: the card thread's designated claude/project-thread-* branch, named in a claim amendment once the thread reports it
Worktree: objectstack-issue-30635
Domain: domain:server
Seat: domain:server#5
File surface: packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol-registry-hydration.ts (ensureObjectStorage's refusal path) and the object save answer it feeds (protocol-save.ts / the PUT /api/v1/meta/object/NAME handler, wherever measuring puts the answer), their tests, one root .changeset/ file. ⛔ packages/spec/**, ⛔ ui/** (the warning display is a separate card) (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate; floor sonnet · default opus · ceiling fable), effort: high
Clause-②: no
Metadata-protocol: none
Responsibility: the object save path in packages/metadata-protocol (catches the driver's sync refusal, logs it, answers 200 with nothing about storage) | none (the refusal reaches only the server log at error, #22985) | any admin or AI saving an object whose storage sync the driver refuses; measured by the #30562 dev on managed SQLite (PR #30632, report 6667000624)
Thread-read: 6669152903
Premise: holds per the card's measurement (PR #30632 body); the dev re-measures a refused sync on origin/main first
Serial constraints cleared: none: no open PR touches protocol-registry-hydration.ts or protocol-save.ts (read over the 19 open PRs' file lists at claim time); no pm:dispatched claim names either file (#30610 and #30072 sit on other metadata-protocol files)

Clause-② note: no because the change adds one key to a success answer and accepts nothing new. If the save answer's type is declared in packages/spec or a published client type, the dev stops and reports: that makes it a spec-lane change. If the dev finds a non-2xx answer is the only honest shape, that is a decision (the card says so): stop and report.
