+fix(engine-core): disabling a package now stops its objects being served, and a failed uninstall stops answering 200 (#7557)
+
+## Disabling a package is now an enforcement for its objects
+
+A package at `status: 'disabled'` had its nav entries and views correctly
+dropped, while `GET /api/v1/data/<object>` still answered **200 with every
+row** and `GET /api/v1/meta/objects` still listed the object. The status was
+consulted by some readers and skipped by others, so "disabled" meant different
+things depending on which surface you asked.
+
+Both skips were deliberate and both gave the same reason — filtering objects
+"would break data queries that depend on their schema". That conflated two
+different kinds of reader, and they are now separated explicitly:
+
+- **Resolution readers keep serving.** `registry.getObject` and
+  `registry.listItems('object')` still return a disabled package's objects.
+  Migrations, cross-package references and the runtime authoring gate's object
+  universe all resolve through them, and blanking them would break authoring
+  that has nothing to do with the disabled package. Disable remains reversible
+  and still destroys no data.
+- **API readers now stop.** The `/meta/*` listing drops the objects (the
+  `object`/`objects` exemption in `getMetaItems` is gone; `package` is still
+  never filtered, or a disabled package could never be re-enabled), and the data
+  plane refuses.
+
+**The data-plane refusal is loud, not silent.** `assertObjectRegistered` — the
+single gate every `findData`/`getData` entry point funnels through — now answers
+a new error code:
+
+```
+404  { "error": { "code": "OBJECT_PACKAGE_DISABLED",
+                  "message": "Object 'x' belongs to a disabled package and is not
+                              being served. Re-enable the package to restore access." } }
+```
+
+The 404 status matches the closest existing sibling, `OBJECT_API_DISABLED` for
+`enable.apiEnabled: false`, so "this object exists but is switched off" keeps
+one status across both switches. The distinct **code** is what makes it
+actionable: a bare `OBJECT_NOT_FOUND` sends a caller — an AI agent especially —
+hunting for a typo or re-creating an object that is merely switched off, while
+this one names the cause and therefore the fix. `OBJECT_PACKAGE_DISABLED` is
+registered in the ADR-0112 ledger under `@objectstack/metadata-protocol`.
+
+If you have a client that treats a disabled package's objects as queryable, it
+now receives a 404 with the code above instead of rows. Re-enabling the package
+restores every surface.
+
+## A failed uninstall is no longer wrapped in a 200
+
+`DELETE /packages/:id` on the dispatcher door stated `success: true`
+unconditionally and forwarded the protocol's own `{ success: false,
+deletedCount: 0 }` underneath it, so the status line and the payload disagreed
+and any caller reading the status recorded an uninstall that had not happened.
+Per-item failures now answer **400 `PACKAGE_DELETE_PARTIAL`**, carrying the
+failed items and the uninstall cleanup outcomes (a failed permission revocation
+is a ghost grant, so it must survive the failure path).
+
+The rule is copied deliberately from the direct-mount REST door of the same
+route, which already answered this way — two doors to one route answering
+differently is how the divergence arrived. That includes its carve-out: **zero
+metadata rows is still a successful uninstall**, because a runtime-registered
+package that never published metadata has nothing in `sys_metadata`. The
+failure predicate is therefore `failedCount > 0`, not `!persisted.success`.
+
+An all-rows-failed uninstall now answers 400 rather than the 404 its zero
+`deletedCount` previously implied.
+
+**Not fixed here:** the separate persistence defect where `deletePackage` finds
+zero rows while package-bound `sys_metadata` rows demonstrably exist, leaving
+them behind on an otherwise-clean uninstall. That is a `sys_metadata` query
+defect one layer below this handler and is reported for its own fix; see #7557.
