id: validation gap — alias list has no creation date (P5.7): signed header has no time field

Gap found by the #1075 validation audit (Phase 5, P5.7) — 2026-10-27

The plan of record (doc/2026-10-11T11-08-42Z_design_remaining_work/plan-phases.md, P5.7) specifies the alias list as (text, date, creator), with contested sets shown and shortest-unique-prefix disambiguation.

On current main 37418e56 the alias display module (pkgs/id/src/aliases.rs) implements text + creator, contested sets, pet-name/primary precedence, and unique-prefix disambiguation (pkgs/id/tests/aliases.rs — contested, primary, petname, prefix tests all present), but its own header states the remaining hole verbatim:

"The creation date is not shown, because the signed header has no time field (open)."

So the date element of the P5.7 alias list has no source and no display, and no existing issue tracks it (checked 2026-10-27: alias/date searches return only tangential items; the related user-subject hole is separately tracked as #160).

Acceptance criteria

Either: alias rows expose a creation date derived from a source the design accepts (with the source named in aliases.rs), and a test covers it; or
the plan's P5.7 row is amended to drop the date element with the reason recorded, and the "(open)" note in aliases.rs is replaced by a pointer to that decision.

Found by: queue task 1256 (slice 4 of the #1075 audit), Lane D worker shift 2026-10-27.

CODE-511

Triage verdict: confirmed — gap is real on current main

Probed origin/main 0e26fa4b3 (2026-11-02):

pkgs/id/src/aliases.rs:17 still carries the hole verbatim: "The creation date is not shown, because the signed header has no time field (open)."
Alias has only claim: Hash, text: String, author: AuthorKey — no date field; Row/Shown expose no date either.
Claim in pkgs/id/src/tag_claims.rs:83 has id, author, subject, name, value — no time/timestamp; nothing downstream could source a creation date.
No created_at|timestamp|DateTime|creation (beyond that doc line) anywhere in aliases.rs or pkgs/id/tests/aliases.rs.

Neither acceptance path has happened: no date on alias rows, and the plan row / (open) note are untouched.

Route: enqueueing a scoped follow-up packet for issue #1422 (either expose a creation date from a design-accepted source + test, or amend the P5.7 plan row and replace the (open) note with a pointer to that decision). No hard-stop labels on this issue; triage claims no files changed.

Done: triaged, follow-up enqueued

Outcome: triaged — issue stays open, gap confirmed on origin/main 0e26fa4b3.
Follow-up: task 6589 (small_fix packet) queued — expose alias creation date with test, or amend the P5.7 plan row and repoint the (open) note.
Queue labels cleared (work/assigned, queue/claimed, status/in-progress removed).
