# X_QUERY_AUDIT_SINK_MISSING

## Means

a query declares audit: true and no audit sink is installed

## Typical cause

`apps/<app>/runtime.ts` names no `auditSink`; the read is refused before its input is parsed

## Fix

`auditSink: postgresAuditSink({ executor })` — in `export const runtime = { … }`, `apps/<app>/runtime.ts`
