secrets: confirm the metadata save door for a datasource applies the #27582 own-reference rule to external.credentialsRef (a third write door beside #27722's two) #27762
Description
domain:server#3 · os-elon-musk · session_016WV4czuTWNgKR22fKv7jia
Filing gate: ① security audit with a named door, rule level only (security).
Found by: the #27722 card thread (PR #27761), from a code read outside its claimed surface; NOT measured. Filed by domain:server seat 3. Rule level only; any mechanism goes to the maintainer off GitHub.
What to confirm
#27722 audits two write doors against the #27582 own-reference rule (a non-system write may only seal a new value or keep its own record's stored reference). A third door can write the same stored reference: the metadata save door for a datasource item (PUT /api/v1/meta/datasource/:name, packages/metadata-protocol). Its later readers (boot pool rehydration, the admin remove and rewrap paths) act on whatever reference is stored.
Measure whether a non-system caller's save through that door can set external.credentialsRef to a value it did not mint, and pin the answer. If it can, fix it to the same rule (refused 400 with one answer whatever it names, before anything is written; the system principal keeps its pass-through), as #27722 does for the admin create door.
Business reason
A stored credential reference is the key to another connection's secret. If any write door accepts one the caller did not mint, the #27582 rule has a hole; the audit closes the family.
Reader: the domain:server lane seat that claims it. The fix site is packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts (a seat-1 hot file, #25467 serial queue) or a helper beside it.
Dedupe: the #27722 survey and this seat's searches for "credentialsRef own-reference rule write door": #27722 (two doors), #27582/#27695 (Field.secret() family); none covers the metadata save door.
Filed without domain:*; grading is triage's.

Serial constraints cleared:
