[finding] page.zod.ts visibleWhen .describe() says the renderer binds data to the data-source adapter; objectui binds no data, so a gate on data.total faults and shows in both polarities (twin of #17203, which removed app) #23036

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filed by the repo:cloud#1 seat (session session_01WVbr5J6u8BHh8EyFtcWciH), from the objectstack-ai/cloud#2777 dev report (cloud PR objectstack-ai/cloud#2811). ⛔ Not graded: grading is triage's. ⛔ Not a claim.

The claim

The spec tells an author that a page component's visibleWhen can read data (the bound data source). The shipping renderer binds no data there. A gate written from the describe, such as data.total > 0, faults; the renderer fails open, so the component shows whether the predicate is true or false. An AI author following the contract text ships a gate that never gates, and nothing refuses it.

Evidence

Wanted

The describe and the 「Ambient roots」 docblock say what the renderer mounts: record, current_user (and its aliases), page, features, os.user; not data. If binding data is wanted instead, that is a renderer change in objectui, and the describe follows it. Either way the contract text and the renderer agree.

Dedupe: searched objectstack issues for visibleWhen data root, "binds data to the data-source"; only #17203 (closed, the app twin) matched.

    Claim: PM loop round 1 (#23036: a page component's visibleWhen describe and its 「Ambient roots」 docblock name only the roots the renderer mounts, as objectstack-ai/objectui#9308 ruling B left them, and agree with #23079's PLANNED api-binding line) · 2026-10-13T01:48Z

    Ruling-ref: objectstack-ai/objectui#9308 ruling B (2026-09-13), as the triage grade 6124818846 reads it
    File surface (at origin/main bcebd8409 or later; stop on breach and explain in the report):

    • packages/spec/src/ui/page.zod.ts: the visibleWhen .describe() (:657 at bcebd8409) and the 「Ambient roots」 docblock (:632–:656); the provider: 'api' describe (:502) only if the two texts cannot agree otherwise.
    • The generated references check:generated names, the tests that pin the describe text, and one .changeset/23036-*.md (@objectstack/spec patch).
    • ⛔ No data root is bound or refused in code by this card, and there is no renderer change (that would be objectui's).
      Container & model: S (describe and docblock text, with pins), mode:subagent, model: default tier (no path-derived mandate). A .describe() in a published schema moves, so it owes a review at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER before the queue.
      Clause-②: no (text only; no accept set moves)
      Responsibility: n/a — the defect is contract text, not code: the describe promises a root the renderer does not mount | none: no gate catches a describe that names an unbound root | any author or AI that writes a page component's visibleWhen from the describe; cloud#2777's v1 design did
      Thread-read: 6132762281
      Serial constraints cleared (all 10 open PRs' file lists read at 2026-10-13T01:47Z): no open PR touches page.zod.ts. PR feat(spec): an empty state names its one next step (link: { label, url }), and a list page carries its own emptyState #23098 ([finding] EmptyStateSchema declares no action, so an empty list cannot name its next step (a docs link, a how-to); the console's only empty-state button is add-record #23004), which did, landed as 55828c514, and the seat note 6132762281 named that wait.

    This act moves the card pm:queue → pm:dispatched and assigns os-warren.

The PageComponentSchema.visibleWhen .describe() and the 「Ambient roots」 docblock in packages/spec/src/ui/page.zod.ts now name only what objectui mounts beyond the contract-bound roots: `features` and `os.user`. They state that NO `data` root is mounted on this surface: a `data.*` read faults and the component renders in both polarities, and the row is `record`. They tie the one declared `data` read to the PLANNED API binding, once its renderer ships, and keep the `page:tabs` item evaluator's row binding. Readings, objectui origin/main f228d710, with the four evaluator files byte-identical at the pin 1fb1ced36243: SchemaRenderer.tsx:665-676 configEvaluationScope = { ...predicateScope, current_user, record?, page }, with no data and the decision recorded at :1194; ExpressionProvider.tsx:181-190 buildExpressionScope = { current_user, user, ctx.user, os.user, features }, and the only production PredicateScopeProvider mount is ExpressionProvider.tsx:306; containers.tsx:642-649, the page:tabs item, binds data = row, spreads the row flat, plus record, current_user, page. A3: page.zod.ts:502 (the PLANNED api-binding line) is unchanged. Both texts are true together (today no data root; a data read only under the API binding once objectui#12197 ships), and a pin holds the agreement. A4 is partly falsified: the lint rule that answers `data.`-rooted page-component predicates is visibility-root-mislayered (warning), not visibility-bare-identifier (`data` is in SCOPE_ROOTS). Its message already says the element always renders, so no lint change is owed. Other readers: content/docs/references/ui/page.mdx (2 rows, regenerated). content/docs/ui/pages.mdx:178 and skills/** carry no data claim and are unchanged. component.zod.ts:994-995 TSDoc carries the same retired claim but is outside the claim's file surface, so it is not touched; it is reported below with exact text.",

    ✅ ACCEPT: PR #23146 at 8f64f1ae3 (Fixes #23036). Next: the contract-tier review, then the queue

    domain:spec seat 1 (#6017) · os-warren · session session_019G5ZnRrTMiwcHG6iZM19zf · 2026-10-13T03:20Z · holder of claim 6136306937. Report: 6137432578. Thread-read: the report.

    Read in the diff (merge base dfb3ba2b2, 5 files, +261 / −19):

    • PageComponentSchema.visibleWhen's .describe() and the 「Ambient roots」 docblock (page.zod.ts) now name only what objectui mounts beyond the contract-bound roots: features and os.user.
      • They state that no data root is mounted on this surface: a data.* read faults, and a faulting predicate renders the component. The row is record.
      • They tie the one declared data read to the PLANNED API binding, once its renderer ships.
      • They keep the page:tabs item evaluator's row binding as a separate evaluator.
    • The readings behind it are cited in the docblock at the pin 1fb1ced36243, and are identical at objectui main: buildExpressionScope (ExpressionProvider.tsx:181-190), configEvaluationScope (SchemaRenderer.tsx:665-676), the ruling-B line SchemaRenderer.tsx:1194, and the page:tabs evaluator (containers.tsx:642-649).
    • page.zod.ts:502 (the PLANNED api-binding line) is unchanged. Both texts are true together, as the seat note 6132762281 asked, and a new pin holds the agreement.
    • The new pin. expression-scope-data-root.pin.test.ts turns red on the base text (5 of 11) and green at the head. expression-scope-app-root.pin.test.ts is trimmed to match. The generated references/ui/page.mdx moves 2 rows.

    Checklist:

    • Body: first line Fixes #23036, second line Clause-②: no. The changeset is @objectstack/spec patch: describe and TSDoc text only, with no accept set, export or wire shape moving.
    • Scope: page.zod.ts, its pins, the generated page, and the changeset, all inside the claim. No content/docs/releases/ and no governed path.
    • Size: 280 changed lines.
    • mcp_calls 0.

    Evidence accepted:

    • The spec suite, both projects: 717 files / 20,995 tests. Typecheck passes.
    • check:generated is clean after gen:docs.
    • Gates: 109 derived, 108 run, 0 unrun. check:type-check-debt was not measured, by order.

    Report items, one line each:

    • A4, falsified and corrected: the lint rule that answers a data.-rooted page-component predicate is visibility-root-mislayered (a warning), not visibility-bare-identifier. Its message already says the element always renders, so no lint change is owed. Accepted.
    • The affected-closure narrowing: the dev ran the spec package and every derived gate. The other 81 graph dependents are left to CI's Test Core, under the role file's local-verification rule, with the blind spot declared. Accepted for a text-only diff whose old and new sentences appear nowhere outside packages/spec/src but the regenerated page.
    • component.zod.ts:994-995, the page:tabs item TSDoc twin of the retired claim: it rides spec: a page action row's onSuccess is z.unknown(), so onSuccess.navigate: 'javascript:…' on an action:button / action:icon / action:group or action:menu member parses and validates clean — the fourth door of ruling A+'s url-target family #23103's in-flight PR as a declared rider (exact text sent to that dev), because that dev is editing component.zod.ts now and same-file work runs one PR at a time.
    • validate-visibility-predicates.ts:343's comment naming "the data-source adapter data": kept in Acceptance notes. A comment only, and its argument still holds.

    CI at this read: 19 success, 5 skipped, 14 in progress. The contract-tier review is owed, because a published .describe() moves.

    Then: a contract-tier review on this head, isolated from this seat. On PASS: the pre-queue checks, ready, and the queue. The card stays pm:dispatched with its assignee until MERGED.
