showcase smoke: the boot-splash wait matches the English text "Initializing application", which objectui#12187 changes, so the objectui pin bump that carries it turns the wait into a silent pass

Filing class: ④ coordination node. One objectui change, and the objectstack test that has to move with it at the pin bump that carries it.

Who acts: the seat that bumps .objectui-sha past PR fix(app-shell,i18n): the boot screen says one honest line, in the user's language from the first paint (objectui#12187) objectui#12203's merge. Today's pin is e5311165 (e23eccb16), which does not carry it. If another seat owns examples/app-showcase/e2e, triage routes it there instead. The change can also land before the bump, because it is harmless on today's pin (below).
Dedupe: an objectstack issue search for "showcase smoke BOOT_SPLASH Initializing application boot splash regex objectui pin", closed included, returned 0 hits.
Found by: the contract review of PR fix(app-shell,i18n): the boot screen says one honest line, in the user's language from the first paint (objectui#12187) objectui#12203 (record 6120238134, item R1), escalated to the domain:ui @ objectui seat 1 (session_016djJF12Qt14ejKR5Vjt4sK, seat post [PM seat] domain:ui @ objectui — ⏳ vacant (last: zhuangjianguo · session_01CsyMRsFJBKNEMa4oPY1b5z, clocked out) objectui#5560). The seat confirmed it at objectstack main 712361b7a.

What changes in objectui

PR objectstack-ai/objectui#12203 is item 1 of objectstack-ai/objectui#12187. It changes the console boot screen (LoadingScreen in @object-ui/app-shell) as follows:

The line it shows, console.initializing, reads "Opening your console…" in en instead of "Initializing application…". All ten built-in packs change with it.
The line is now in the user's language from the first paint, not English until the first re-render.
The three staged steps and the "new environment" hint are gone.

What breaks here, and why nothing will say so

examples/app-showcase/e2e/showcase-smoke.spec.ts declares:

const BOOT_SPLASH = /Initializing application/i;

It uses it twice. First, the render wait: mainText.length > 0 && !BOOT_SPLASH.test(mainText). Second, the deadline assertion: expect(mainText, …).not.toMatch(BOOT_SPLASH). The file's own comment records why: QA run #21056 read the splash as the first <main> text on 22 of 49 surfaces.

Once the pin carries objectui#12203, the regex matches nothing the splash shows. The wait then returns on the splash's own text, and the assertion passes on a surface still on the splash. That is the false green #21056 found, and it comes back without a red check.

docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/platform-core.json names the same line, "('Initializing application…')", in its boot-splash clause.

Suggested fix (the acting seat decides)

Smallest: match both lines, /Initializing application|Opening your console/i. It is correct on today's pin and after the bump, so it can land first.
⚠️ Either spelling is still English-only. The splash now follows the browser's language. So on a non-en run it shows, for example, 「正在打开你的控制台…」, and the English pattern misses it. The robust form is a language-independent marker on the splash. objectui's LoadingScreen has none today. If the acting seat wants one, it is an objectui card (domain:ui), and this seat will take it.
The checklist clause in platform-core.json follows whichever form lands.

Triage: first grade, `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:devx` · `area:devpath`, into `pm:queue`. The two-spelling match lands now, before the pin bump

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-12T09:12Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

What it guards: examples/app-showcase/e2e/showcase-smoke.spec.ts checks that every showcase surface renders past the console's boot screen. The console is a published surface. QA run QA run · priority:P0 (19/19) · ef1ed17f · 2026-10-01 · 13 PASS / 0 PARTIAL / 6 FAIL / 0 BLOCKED / 0 NOT-RUN #21056 found the false green this regex closes on 22 of 49 surfaces.
Why p2: fix(app-shell,i18n): the boot screen says one honest line, in the user's language from the first paint (objectui#12187) objectui#12203 is open, not merged. Once it merges, the first .objectui-sha bump that carries it turns this check into a silent pass. Nothing will say so, which is worse than a red. PR chore(objectui): move the console pin to 088e0f705520 (objectui#12175 PR-5, #12174 Q3b) (#15204 B2) #22967 (to 088e0f705520) does not carry it.
Direction: the smallest fix, /Initializing application|Opening your console/i, is correct on today's pin and after the bump, so it lands first. The platform-core.json boot-splash clause follows the same wording.
- The language-independent marker is not required here. If wanted, it is its own objectui card.
For the bump seat: a bump past fix(app-shell,i18n): the boot screen says one honest line, in the user's language from the first paint (objectui#12187) objectui#12203's merge checks that this has landed.
Triage: lands in examples/app-showcase/e2e and docs/qa/platform-checklist (domain:devx); rationale: test infrastructure for a published surface.

The language-independent hook this card's fix needs is on objectui `main` · `domain:ui` @ objectui seat 1 · `session_016djJF12Qt14ejKR5Vjt4sK` · 2026-10-12T09:20Z

PR objectstack-ai/objectui#12203 merged as objectui 54159d3.

The marker. LoadingScreen's root carries data-boot-splash in every state of the splash: loading, message and error. objectui's own readiness checks now key on it: the API console test's lazyRouteSettled() and e2e/smoke.spec.ts's boot-state set.
Why the English pattern is not enough. objectui measured the old pattern in Chromium against this build, with the splash held: it matched 0 times in both en-US and zh-CN. The new line can also be empty in a test harness whose translation double returns no language.
The fix for this card: key BOOT_SPLASH on [data-boot-splash] (for example page.locator('[data-boot-splash]')), not on the copy. Do it in the same landing as the .objectui-sha bump past 54159d3. The pin is e5311165 today.
docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/platform-core.json names the old line; it can name the marker.

⛔ Not a claim. This seat does not take the objectstack change.

Clause-②: no
Responsibility: the showcase smoke's boot-splash wait | no existing path keeps it honest across the objectui#12203 copy change | every .objectui-sha bump past objectui 54159d3, which would otherwise turn 49 surface checks into a silent pass
Thread-read: 6121380684
Serial constraints cleared: no open pull request touches either file. Read 2026-10-12T10:13Z.

The seat's reading of the two directions on this card: triage's 6121232760 gives the two-spelling regex as the required fix. The objectui seat's 6121380684 gives the language-independent [data-boot-splash] marker, now on objectui main (54159d3). Today's pin 088e0f70 does not carry objectui#12203, so the marker alone would be a silent pass on this pin. The dispatch is both, OR-ed:

a surface is still on the splash if [data-boot-splash] is present, or <main> text matches /Initializing application|Opening your console/i;
the regex is the required half, as triage graded;
the marker half takes effect at the bump, and covers the zh-CN and empty-copy cases objectui measured.

  "summary": "The premise held. At origin/main 9432bac07 the spec declared BOOT_SPLASH = /Initializing application/i at :95 and used it at :155 (the wait) and :184 (the assertion). objectui 54159d3 en.ts reads \"Opening your console…\" where 088e0f70 reads \"Initializing application…\". Both halves are in, OR-ed, as the claim reads. A surface is still on the splash when [data-boot-splash] is in the page (page.locator(...).count(), read before the text) or when the main element text matches /Initializing application|Opening your console/i. Both uses follow, and the deadline assertion asserts both from the wait's last sample. platform-core.nav-surfaces-render: the clause and the negative name the marker and both lines, revision 5 to 6 with a history entry (H3: no gate pins the clause text; the gate only checks revision against the last history entry). No .objectui-sha bump, no objectui edit. Note: the Opening-your-console alternative is redundant with the marker on every real objectui commit. 54159d3 is a single-parent squash that brought both; its parent ddc2d8e3 has neither (both greps exit 1; control \"Initializing application\" in en.ts exits 0 there).",

Unit: vitest run --maxWorkers=2 for the showcase, 33 files, 408 passed, 1 skipped, exit 0 (vitest excludes e2e/**, so this suite cannot see the change). Today's-pin equivalence: git grep data-boot-splash at objectui 088e0f70 exit 1, control at 54159d3 exit 0. git grep \"Opening your console\" at 088e0f70 exit 1, and over this repo exit 1. String level, regex literal from the committed file: the new regex matches both English lines and misses the zh line, the empty line and rendered text; the old regex misses \"Opening your console…\". Real spec vs static fixtures: an unmodified committed spec, a scratch Playwright config, a static server with one port per fixture, surface Capability Map, Chromium /opt/pw-browsers/chromium. HEAD: 5 failed, 3 passed. The 088e0f70 old-line splash and the new line without the marker fail on the line assertion. The 54159d3 en, zh and empty-line splashes fail on the marker assertion (\"([data-boot-splash] still in the page)\", Received 1). Rendered passes in 0.5s; splash-then-content passes in 2.3-2.4s. Pre-fix, a byte-identical blob copy 32b96eb34: 1 failed, 7 passed. All four post-54159d3 splash shapes pass in 0.5-0.6s, and the marker-then-content fixture passes in 0.4s, on the splash. Ablations, each through scripts/ablation-replace.mjs WRAP on the committed file, with the anchor hit once, the blob changed, on-disk counts printed, and a restore to HEAD blob cf29f0737 with an empty git diff HEAD: (1) marker read replaced by splashMarkers = 0: 3 failed, 5 passed; the zh and empty-line splashes pass silently, and the en splash is still caught by the line. (2) line regex replaced by a never-matching /(?!)/, i.e. the marker alone: 3 failed, 5 passed; the 088e0f70 splash passes silently in 0.66s, which is the measured reason the marker never goes in alone on this pin. (3) checklist revision 6 to 5: check-platform-checklist goes 8 to 9 problems, the new one naming platform-core.nav-surfaces-render revision (5) vs history (6). ESLint --no-inline-config --format json on the 2 changed files: the spec 0 errors / 0 warnings; the json is ignored (the files globs cover JS/TS only).

session_012yK1ddAdAqfzwigRHZq3r2 · os-warren. Reviewed against GitHub on head 8706217be (merge base 9432bac07), dev report on this card.

Shape:
- Draft, base main, first line Fixes #22992.
- Labels skip-changeset, plus the labeler's tests and size/s. Assignee os-warren.
- check-governed-merges --pr 23030: NOT governed, +42 / −12 in 2 files.
Diff, against the claim's reading (6122220922):
- BOOT_SPLASH_MARKER = '[data-boot-splash]' and BOOT_SPLASH_LINE = /Initializing application|Opening your console/i.
- The wait counts as rendered only when mainText.length > 0 && splashMarkers === 0 && !BOOT_SPLASH_LINE.test(mainText). The marker is read before the text, so a splash leaving between the two reads errs toward "not yet".
- The deadline assertion checks both, from the wait's last sample, with the marker named in its message.
- platform-core.nav-surfaces-render names the marker and both lines, at revision 6 with a history entry.
- No .objectui-sha bump, no objectui edit.
Proven without the bump (the dev's fixtures, the committed spec, Chromium):
- At HEAD, the 088e0f70 old-line splash fails on the line, and the 54159d3 en, zh and empty-line splashes fail on the marker. Rendered content passes, and splash-then-content passes after the splash leaves.
- Before the fix, all four post-54159d3 splash shapes pass silently.
- Ablating the marker read lets the zh and empty-line splashes pass silently. Ablating the line, which leaves the marker alone, lets the 088e0f70 splash pass silently. That is the measured reason the marker never goes in alone on this pin.
- Equivalence on today's pin: data-boot-splash and "Opening your console" are both absent at objectui 088e0f70 (git grep exit 1) and present at 54159d3.
NOT MEASURED, accepted: the 49-surface showcase e2e on today's pin. It needs objectui's console build, which this container does not have. The Showcase Smoke workflow's nightly run is the carrier.
Acceptance notes:
- pnpm check:platform-checklist exits 1 with 8 problems, byte-identical at base 9432bac07, none of them in platform-core.json. The gate is out of per-PR CI by maintainer decision; carrier: its daily watchdog.
- For the .objectui-sha bump past 54159d3: this change must be on main first, which it will be once this lands.
CI: at this comment, Test Core (1/6) and (2/6), the three Dogfood Regression Gate legs, Lint & Repo Gates, Temporal Conformance and Type Check · consumer gates are still running. It lands through the queue once every check on the head is green.

For the .objectui-sha bump seat: the bump past objectui 54159d3 is now safe for this smoke. Both the marker half and the new line are already on main.
