+feat(spec,metadata-protocol): the runtime authoring gate's advisory findings reach the save response (#4717)
+
+#4463 put the shared author-time rule registry on the runtime write path — the
+fourth door, and for a Studio tenant or an MCP/AI author the ONLY one, because a
+`sys_metadata` overlay row is not in the CLI's config file and there is no
+`os lint` to run against it. It gated on `error` findings only. The rest — the
+advisory half — were produced, walked into a `console.warn` deduped once per
+process per `type|name|rule|path`, and then went out of scope. #4715 named that
+honestly when it shipped: running a rule and discarding its conclusion is a
+smaller version of the hole the gate was built to close.
+
+That case is reachable today, not theoretical. A flow whose only defect is a
+`delete_record` node declaring `multi: true` with no `filter` yields
+`errors = 0 / advisories = 1`: the write **succeeds**, the row persists, the
+flow registers, and the author never learns that their nightly sweep deletes
+every row of the object on every run.
+
+**What changed**
+
+- `SaveMetaItemResponseSchema` declares an OPTIONAL `advisories` array, whose
+  element is the newly-declared `RuntimeAuthoringIssueSchema` — the SAME
+  `rule` / `path` / `where` / `message` / `hint` / `severity` shape the 422
+  `invalid_metadata` envelope already carries (#4463 D3, "reuse the Zod
+  envelope"). It is declared once: `@objectstack/metadata-protocol` re-exports
+  it as its `RuntimeAuthoringIssue` instead of keeping a second hand-written
+  interface for the same six keys, so the refusal and the success channel
+  cannot drift into two dialects.
+- `evaluateRuntimeAuthoringGate` returns a `RuntimeAuthoringVerdict`
+  (`{ error, advisories }`) instead of `Error | null`. This is an ADDED return
+  channel, not a threaded value: the success path previously returned `null` and
+  had nowhere to put a verdict at all.
+- `saveMetaItem` attaches the advisories to its success response.
+
+**Additive and conditional.** The key is emitted ONLY when at least one advisory
+was raised — never as `[]` — so a clean save's response bytes are byte-for-byte
+what they were before, and a caller that ignores the field behaves exactly as
+today. Absence means "nothing to report", never "the gate did not run".
+
+**`rulesRun` is deliberately NOT on the response.** The gate appends its own
+`PLATFORM_SCHEDULE_CREATE_RECORD_ORG_MISSING` when the type is `flow`, so not
+every id it would list resolves in the lint registry; exposing the array would
+need the declaration to say the ids are *gate* ids. A field can be added later,
+not removed.
+
+**⚠️ Save door only — the asymmetry is deliberate, not an oversight.** The gate
+runs on BOTH write doors: `saveMetaItem` and the draft→active promotion, on
+purpose, so `?mode=draft` followed by publish is not a bypass (#4463 D1).
+Studio's designer uses draft-then-publish on every edit, so the publish door is
+the dominant Studio flow and it does **not** carry this field yet. That door's
+own response contract only just landed (#7294); carrying the advisories over is
+tracked separately rather than bundled here, so this change stays one optional
+field on one already-declared envelope.
+
+Rendering the findings in Studio is the objectui half of #4717 and is queued in
+that repo behind this change.
