The console renders no toast for a failed script action — and the status was NOT the cause: on main a 500 already enters the same toast path a 400 does, so objectstack#17265's fix will not close this #9151

Clause-②
yeson the "not sure ⇒ yes" rule: the landing zone ispackages/core/src/actions/**(and possiblypackages/react/src/utils/), both published libraries.⭐ Two candidates are already ruled out — ⛔ do not re-derive them
- The card ruled out its own candidate: it was asked "① alone may be enough … check that before filing a separate UI card", it checked, gave three verbatim readings, and the answer was no. ⛔ This is not a card handed over — it arrived with an answer.
- Triage measured candidate 1 and it came back NEGATIVE, against its own expected ordering. The card ranked "is the shipped 17.4.0 console older than the code on main? if so ⇒ pin bump, not a code change" as "cheapest to check and it would explain everything." Triage resolved
.objectui-sha=53ded82bf7a494f54e344e19099dbf00854b8694(⚠️ a shallow clone could not resolve it untilgit fetch --depth 1 origin <sha>) and comparedActionRunner.tsat the pinned rev vsorigin/main:showOnError3 vs 3, withshowOnSuccessas a lit control at 3 vs 3.
⇒ ⛔ not a stale pin. Start from that, and ⛔ do not spend a round re-testing it.
⚠️ Re-measure everything else on today'sorigin/main— main has moved a long way tonight.

{ "issue": 9151, "status": "rework", "branch": "claude/issue-9151-failed-action-toast", "pr": "https://github.com/objectstack-ai/objectui/pull/9252", "premise_still_valid": false, "summary": "The card is a bug card against objectui, and on today's origin/main (2f073f153) objectui's script-action failure-to-toast chain is correct end to end, measured rather than read. Driving the real chain (ActionRunner.execute -> the registered script handler = createConsoleServerActionHandler -> core's createServerActionHandler -> interpretActionResponse -> ActionRunner.handlePostExecution), a 500 whose body carries the hook's business sentence produces exactly ONE toast, type error, carrying that sentence verbatim; an identical body under 400 produces an identical toast; an unparseable 500 body still toasts on the 'failed (HTTP 500)' fallback. So result.error is never empty after a non-ok response and the reported 'zero toast elements' cannot originate in this chain. That closes the preimage of zero toasts to exactly two shapes, both now pinned: (A) the action declares toast.showOnError false, and (B) a handler returns {success:false} with no error (the deliberate 'I already messaged the user' convention). Both are app-side, i.e. triage's candidate 3 and candidate 2 respectively — which is the case triage's acceptance note 3 anticipated, so no ActionRunner change was made. Also extended triage's not-a-stale-pin reading from one file to the whole chain: git diff 53ded82b..HEAD over packages/core/src/actions/, consoleServerAction.ts, useConsoleActionRuntime.tsx, RecordDetailView.tsx, ActionContext.tsx, useActionRunner.ts and error-message.ts shows consoleServerAction.ts, serverActionHandler.ts, actionResponse.ts, actionErrorDetail.ts, ActionContext.tsx, useActionRunner.ts and error-message.ts UNCHANGED; ActionRunner.ts moved 3 lines (a docblock), actionKeys.ts 18 (two spec key-inventory entries), and RecordDetailView.tsx 75 lines of which zero touch toast/onToast/serverActionHandler/script/ActionProvider. Candidate 4 (toastHandler never wired) is dead on a direct reading: flowHandler and the script handler both return their failure through the SAME post-execution hook, so 'flows do toast' is positive evidence the sink is wired for scripts too. Deliverable is a draft PR carrying the characterization as a permanent pin plus the written diagnosis; status is rework because triage acceptance item 2 ('name the dispatch path that action actually takes') CANNOT be satisfied from here: objectstack-ai/hotclm is unreachable in this session (repo-scoped REST answers 403 and attaching the repo was refused), so choosing between candidate 2 and candidate 3 needs the hotclm action metadata. Bump call: NO RELEASE — empty-frontmatter changeset. The diff is one new test file plus that changeset; nothing under any package's files[] moves, no publish-contract field moves, and no capability a consumer could newly rely on appears. Assignee was os-tesla on arrival (set by the PM seat); not touched.", "tests": "ALL readings at branch head e9fc1e59d, exit codes captured by redirect-then-capture, verdict lines read rather than a bare $?. (1) New pin: `pnpm exec vitest run packages/app-shell/src/utils/__tests__/consoleServerAction.errorToast.test.ts` -> EXIT=0, 'Test Files 1 passed (1)', 'Tests 6 passed (6)' — collected as one file, not zero. (2) Package suite under the shared verify lock: `pnpm --filter @object-ui/app-shell test` -> 'VERDICT command-exit 0', 'Test Files 687 passed (687)', 'Tests 6644 passed | 1 skipped (6645)'. (3) Dependency closure + type-check: `turbo run type-check --filter=@object-ui/app-shell --concurrency=2` -> 'VERDICT command-exit 0', 'Tasks: 30 successful, 30 total' (29 ^build tasks plus the type-check; load-bearing because app-shell's tsconfig.test.json sets paths:{} so tests compile against built .d.ts). Re-run after the second commit: `pnpm --filter @object-ui/app-shell type-check` -> 'VERDICT command-exit 0'. NOT a NOT-MEASURED green: `tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFilesOnly` lists the new file, 1 of 4505 program files. (4) ABLATION — a runtime assertion is enforced by vitest, so each leg was read through vitest. vitest.config.mts aliases @object-ui/core to packages/core/src, so the mutated SOURCE is what the pin executes and no dist rebuild stands between mutation and reading (the dist-preflight step does not apply on an aliased-to-src resolution; the on-disk proof was done anyway). On-disk mutation proof per leg: marker count 0 before / 1 after, and `git hash-object` on the target differing from the HEAD blob 65f748167744b543e18cbe167637b12962c8aa20 (M1 -> 6e08ed257dc1bf7888b0e59607c0a513bc63c272, M2 -> 0c951d800348754071b58895cd346ddc2fae1202). M1 = the whole error arm of handlePostExecution short-circuited to false -> vitest exit 1, 3 failed / 3 passed, and the three failures are exactly the three error-toast readings while the success control and both zero-toast pins stay GREEN. M2 = the `showOnError !== false` term dropped -> vitest exit 1, 1 failed / 5 passed, the failure being exactly the showOnError:false pin. PREDICTED DIRECTION was 'turns red', and that is what was observed, with the failure SETS matching the predicted preimage. Restore legs: `git checkout HEAD -- ABSOLUTE_PATH` (never a bare checkout), proved by blob equality with the HEAD blob AND an empty `git diff HEAD`, never by an exit code; script carried `trap RESTORE EXIT INT TERM` with an absolute REPO_ROOT path. Restored control leg: vitest exit 0, 6 passed. The whole ablation was re-run at the final head e9fc1e59d with identical numbers. (5) Gates, all exit 0: check:control-bytes, check:vi-mock-specifiers, check:vi-mock-inherit, check:vi-mock-override-shape, check:test-path-roots, check:new-line-citations, check:action-ref-convention, check:changeset-claims, check:unreferenced-sources, check:phantom-deps, check:unused-deps, check-changeset-no-major.mjs, check-type-check-coverage.mjs, check-changeset-presence.mjs (reads the empty frontmatter as the explicit exemption), check-governed-queue-guard.mjs --test (NOT GOVERNED). Plus a manual control-character sweep over both changed files: zero hits. NOT MEASURED: scripts/pm/check-half-states.mjs exits 3 PREREQUISITE NOT MET (this container's token is not a GitHub credential; its own message states nothing was swept) — neither a clean board nor a dirty one, and a board sweep rather than a diff gate. (6) LINT, narrowed with the three readings that make a narrowing a measurement: population read from eslint.config.js itself (`**/*.{ts,tsx}` minus its own ignores list, which holds only build output); count read from `--format json` = 1 file, 0 errors, 0 warnings (was 0/1 before the second commit removed a copied `any`); invariance = the config enables no type-aware linting (no projectService, no parserOptions.project, no tsconfigRootDir anywhere), so no untouched file's verdict can move. Stated caveat: two repo-local rules (no-line-address-in-test-name, no-synthetic-event-trigger) do read the filesystem. Repo-wide scans are CI's run. (7) Shape gates named in the dispatch that do NOT apply and why: no new scripts/ entry point (check-entry-guard), no edited README fence (check-doc-snippet-types / check-doc-example-types).

The seat measured that on today's
origin/mainthe objectui chain is correct end to end — a 500 carrying the hook's business sentence produces exactly one toast, typeerror, with that sentence verbatim; the same body under 400 behaves identically; an unparseable 500 body still toasts on thefailed (HTTP 500)fallback. It then pinned the only two shapes that could still yield zero toasts. Both are now ruled out on the app side.⇒ No surviving explanation is consistent with all three readings. One of the inputs must be wrong, and it is no longer any of the four candidates. The remaining suspects, none of them measured:
- The deployed artifacts are not the ones compared. Triage ruled out a stale
.objectui-shaforActionRunner.ts, and the seat extended that to the whole chain by diff — but both compared source revisions, not the console build actually serving the user. - The observation itself needs re-taking. "Zero toast elements" was reported from a browser; whether the 500 shown was the same request the toast assertion was made against is not established anywhere in this card's chain.

⚠️ The bounds of what I measured, stated so nobody inherits more than I took- I read
hotclmat14c899f, a depth-1 clone of the default branch, today. ⛔ I did not establish what revision was deployed when the symptom was seen — that is suspect 3 and I cannot close it from here. - ⛔ I did not run
hotclmand I did not reproduce the symptom. These are static readings with lit controls, nothing more. - ⛔ This does not say the user's report was wrong. It says the four candidates enumerated to explain it are all false, which is a statement about the enumeration.
Disposition
PR objectui#9252 is worth landing on its own terms: it carries the characterization as a permanent pin — both zero-toast shapes and the three positive error-toast readings — so whoever re-takes the observation has an instrument instead of a fresh investigation. Its
reworkstatus was blocked solely on the question answered above.⇒ This card cannot be closed by code in this repo, because no defect in this repo survived measurement. Routing it back with the readings rather than leaving it open against objectui: the next act is re-observing the symptom against a known console build, and that is the requester's, not a renderer fix.
⭐ Worth recording for the lane: this is the second time tonight an investigation's real product was an enumeration proven exhausted rather than a fix. That is a result, not a dead end — but it only counts as one because every arm was measured with a control that could have fired.

Blocked on a repository this board cannot reach — stating the unlock condition instead of leaving it dispatchable
PR objectui#9252 (
Part of #9151) landed the diagnosis and its pins: the console-side chain was measured correct end to end, so the toast that never appears is ⛔ not anActionRunnerdefect. ⭐ No production change was made to have something to show — the deliverable was the diagnosis, and the durable form of a diagnosis three readers each re-derived is a test.What is left is two candidates, and both live outside this repository:

scripthandler at all; - candidate 3 — the action's metadata carries

⭐ Checked, and the answer is NO — ① will not close this
The status half (objectstack#17265 / PR objectstack#17679) makes the route answer 4xx instead of
500 INTERNAL_ERROR. That changes nothing for this defect, because nothing on the console's toast path reads the status. Three readings onmain@049f095, quoted verbatim:1. The toast fires on a non-empty message, ⛔ not on a status or a code —
