finding(app-shell): sanitizeChatMessagesForCache rebuilds tool parts without approval / pendingActionId, so a cache-fallback reload loses the approval affordance the server path keeps

Found while implementing objectui#8442 (PR #9229). ⛔ Not fixed there — the dispatch split that card to the additive half only, and this is a different function in a different file. ⛔ Not claimed.

What

packages/app-shell/src/hooks/useChatConversation.ts, sanitizeChatMessagesForCache, measured on origin/main @ b775500af.

objectui#8442 stops hydratedMessagesToChatMessages dropping the AI SDK approval envelope and pendingActionId on the way OUT of persisted history. sanitizeChatMessagesForCache is the other direction — the localStorage cache WRITE — and it has the same omission going in.

It rebuilds each tool part field by field:

type, toolCallId, toolName, state, errorText?, output?

state is kept (tool.state ?? (tool.errorText ? 'output-error' : 'output-available')), so a cached approval-requested survives. Neither approval nor pendingActionId is written at all, and output is re-serialized only for replayOutcome / draftReview / proposedPlan — a pending-approval envelope is not one of the three, so the id is not recoverable from the cached output either.

⇒ After objectui#8442 lands, the two hydration sources disagree: the SERVER path yields an invocation useHitlInChat can index, and the CACHE-FALLBACK path yields one carrying approval-requested and nothing to decide with — which is precisely the shape objectui#8442 exists to end.

Why it matters

The cache fallback is not a corner: readMessageCache is what renders the thread when the server returns no messages. The function's own comment already records this exact hazard for a different key — it re-serializes the draft envelope because otherwise a cache-fallback reload "drops the draft Review N changes / Publish card". The approval affordance is the same class of loss and was not covered.

Confidence

Read from the source, not exercised in a browser. What is measured: the rebuilt part list contains neither key, and the cachedOutput ternary has no pending-approval arm. What is NOT measured: how often a real operator hits the cache-fallback path with an outstanding approval.

Shape of a fix

Symmetrical with the ADR-0033 draft handling that is already there — a pendingApprovalToCachedResult inverse that re-mints the minimal { status: 'pending_approval', pendingActionId } envelope the detector re-parses, plus carrying approval onto the part. ⚠️ Not purely mechanical (it invents a serializer and owes its own round-trip test), which is why it was filed rather than folded into PR #9229.

Dedup

REST /search/* is refused for this session by the egress proxy, so one targeted search_issues call was used instead and is declared here. Query covered the cache sanitizer and the dropped approval id; 6 hits, all read. Only objectui#8442 is in this area (it is the control that proves the query reaches this surface); the other five are Approvals-inbox cards (objectui#5553, objectui#2829, objectui#2762, objectui#2698) and objectui#4437, none of which names this function or either key.

No in-flight sibling on packages/app-shell/src/hooks/ — the three PRs this seat has in the merge queue touch plugin-kanban + types (objectui#9443), packages/components/src/lib (objectui#9442) and app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin (objectui#9444), none of them this file

Contract-text: sanitizeChatMessagesForCache is not on the published surface. packages/app-shell/src/index.ts:290-295 re-exports exactly four symbols from useChatConversation.js — toUIMessages, aiMessageRowsToServerMessages, HydratedUIMessage, RawAiMessageRow — and this function is not among them. ⭐ The zero is a reading, not a dead grep: the same block demonstrably exports four other members of the same file. The change writes two fields into an internal localStorage payload to restore parity with the server path objectui#8442 already landed.

⭐ Severity note, ⛔ NOT a regrade — grading is triage's output and this seat does not produce it.

The card is priority:p3 and its body frames the defect as "After objectui#8442 lands, the two hydration sources disagree". It has landed — PR objectui#9229 merged 2026-09-12T02:51:38Z, verified at this seat. So the divergence this card predicts is live on main today, not prospective. Recorded for triage to weigh; ⛔ the label is left exactly as triage set it.

  "summary": "sanitizeChatMessagesForCache now writes both halves of an actionable approval, mirroring objectui#8442 on the way IN to the localStorage cache. The AI SDK `approval` envelope is written as a PART key (where partApproval reads it straight back); `pendingActionId` is never a part key on any path, so it round-trips through a new module-local pendingApprovalToCachedResult inverse that re-mints the minimal { status: 'pending_approval', pendingActionId } envelope detectPendingApproval re-parses — one parse for one contract, no second reader on the cache side. The pending arm is FIRST in the cachedOutput chain: the four detectors all read one parseResultEnvelope(result) and discriminate on its single `status`, so the arms are disjoint and the order is unobservable today; the position fixes the failure mode if that changes, since this is the only arm whose loss leaves a live control wired to nothing. STALE-CACHE DECISION: read-side tolerance — no cache-key version bump, no discard. Old entries are kept and read because (1) both readers of the new keys already answer 'absent' rather than throwing, so nothing can break on one; (2) a bump or discard would blank the transcript, draft card, ADR-0038 chip, plan card and replay verdict the old writer DID keep, on the one path that renders when the server has nothing; (3) they self-heal, since the first server-backed load rewrites the cache through the new writer. Tolerance does not invent: an old entry keeps approval-requested with no id (today's behaviour) and no id is fabricated. Recorded in a block comment on readMessageCache and pinned by two tests. CLAUSE-2: no, and now re-checked against the diff rather than predicted — packages/app-shell/src/index.ts still re-exports exactly four symbols from useChatConversation.js and sanitizeChatMessagesForCache is not among them; everything added is module-local (pendingApprovalToCachedResult, two members on the module-local CacheableChatToolInvocation), and HydratedUIMessagePart is an open record so writing `approval` onto a part adds no declared member. check-governed-queue-guard.mjs --test on all three paths: NOT GOVERNED. CARD ACCURACY: the card was right on every load-bearing point and its premise re-verified on current main (efc1c9c, not the b775500af it was measured on) — the rebuilt part list still carried neither key and the cachedOutput ternary still had no pending-approval arm. One refinement rather than an error: the card frames the fix as making the two directions 'genuinely agree', but only pendingActionId is load-bearing — `approval` is currently write-only on EVERY path (no consumer of tool.approval exists), so writing it buys parity with what the server path persists, not a behaviour change.

⭐ The ablation is the best piece of work in this report

LEG 1 reddened exactly as predicted — 3 failed / 41 passed, the three named tests red, three named controls green. A weaker report stops there and banks it.

⚠️ This one didn't: the round-trip test tripped on an earlier output-shape assertion, so the load-bearing decide() assertion — the one the whole card is about — was never exercised in the red leg. That was reported rather than glossed, the test was split so the round-trip claim stands alone, and the ablation was re-run. LEG 2 then landed the failure precisely where it has to: AssertionError: expected [] to deeply equal [ Array(1) ] against the approve URL.

⇒ That is the difference between "a test went red" and "the assertion that carries the claim is proven able to fail". Mutation proved on disk (anchor greps 1→0, blob 46cb7a1e → d12307f3), restore proved by state on both legs (git diff HEAD empty, blob back to 46cb7a1e, trap on an absolute path, ⛔ never a bare git checkout --).

The stale-cache decision — asked for, and delivered as a decision rather than a default

Read-side tolerance: no key bump, no discard. The reasoning holds up: both new readers already answer absent rather than throwing; a bump or discard would blank the transcript, draft card, chip, plan card and replay verdict the old writer did keep, on the one path that renders when the server has nothing; and entries self-heal on the first server-backed load.

⭐ And the tolerance does not invent — pinned in both directions: "still restores, and never fabricates an id it does not have" and "degrades to the pre-fix decision error, making no REST call". Verified present at useChatConversation.test.tsx under an entry written by the OLD cache shape.

The load-bearing pin is genuinely driven, not read off the call graph: uiMessageToChatMessage → sanitizeChatMessagesForCache → the real writer → the raw localStorage string parsed back → hydratedMessagesToChatMessages → the real useHitlInChat mounted over the result → decide('tc-approve', true), asserting the REST call the operator's Approve actually makes.

⭐ A correction that goes against my own dispatch, and a near-miss of mine

The report refines the card — and my dispatch — on a real point: only pendingActionId is load-bearing. The approval envelope is write-only end to end, so writing it buys parity with what the server path persists, ⛔ not a behaviour change. My dispatch told this dev to make the two directions "genuinely agree", which was looser than the truth.

⚠️ I nearly filed a false correction against this. My first grep found AiChatPage.tsx:148 const raw = part.approval; inside partApproval, and I was ready to call the write-only claim wrong. It is not wrong: partApproval is the intermediate reader — the dev names it in their own summary — and the question is the terminal one. Measured, with a lit control on the same grep shape:

grep	hits
`(invocation\|tool\|inv)\.approval` — the terminal consumer	0
`(invocation\|tool\|inv)\.state` — LIT CONTROL, known-consumed	4

⇒ The control fires, so the zero is a reading and not a dead query. The dev is right and I was one step from recording the opposite.

Method notes worth keeping

Lint was declared as a narrowing with all three readings — population (4,954 configured files), the narrowed run (2 files, 0 errors), and an immutability argument rather than a hope: eslint.config.js sets no parserOptions.project and no projectService, so no rule is type-aware and a two-file change cannot move an untouched file's verdict. The 5 warnings are pre-existing, at lines 775–1076 while every changed hunk ends at 490.
Type-check's first run was reported as NOT MEASURED, not red — 26 × TS2307 from absent workspace dist/*.d.ts is a precondition failure. Cleared by building the closure; the green is the post-build run.
The premise was re-verified on current main (efc1c9c), not the b775500af the card was measured on.

Two stale things on the card, correctly flagged rather than edited

It still says "⛔ Not claimed" (this seat has since claimed it), and it is priority:p3 while the divergence is live on main — PR objectui#9229 merged 2026-09-12. The seat already recorded that for triage and ⛔ neither of us regrades it.

⚠️ ACCEPT WITHDRAWN — patch round on PR objectui#9450

My ACCEPT above (comment 5657392572) carried the landing condition "ready + enqueue on a full green read". The read came back red, so it never became a release — but the verdict is withdrawn explicitly rather than left to expire on a technicality.

Test (shard 3/4) FAILED on 967af26 — the only red on the PR; everything else, Bundle Analysis included, is green. Read from the CI job log, ⛔ not guessed:

FAIL packages/app-shell/src/console/ai/__tests__/AiChatPage.runtimeMessageSeam.test.tsx
  > caches the tool turn as an assistant message, tool part included (the measured change)
AssertionError: expected { status: 'pending_approval', …(1) } to match object { status: 'drafted', …(2) }
-   "drafted": [ { "name": "lead", "type": "object" } ],  -  "packageId": "app.crm",  -  "status": "drafted",
+   "status": "pending_approval"

Shard totals: Test Files 1 failed | 776 passed (777).

It is this PR's, and it is not a stale expectation

That fixture carries both halves at once — draftReview: { items: […], packageId: 'app.crm' } and pendingActionId: 'pa-1'. So it is the co-occurrence case. With the pending arm placed FIRST in the cachedOutput chain, the cached output is re-minted as {status:'pending_approval'} and the draft payload is no longer written to the cache at all.

⇒ ⚠️ That is the same loss the report's own stale-cache reasoning was built to avoid. It declined a key bump or discard because one "would blank the transcript, draft card, ADR-0038 chip, plan card and replay verdict the old writer DID keep, on the one path that renders when the server has nothing." Pending-first blanks the draft card on that same path whenever a turn carries both — and the failing test's own comment names that envelope as the "Review N changes / Publish" affordance it exists to protect.

⇒ The report's claim that "the arms are disjoint and the order is unobservable today" does not survive: disjoint on a single-envelope result, ⛔ not on this fixture. The report's own new test re-mints the pending envelope ahead of a co-occurring draft envelope asserts precisely the precedence that breaks it — a precedence was chosen and then described as unobservable.

Sent back with acceptance conditions, ⛔ not a prescribed patch

The dev decides the mechanism; the seat's reading (theirs to overturn with evidence) is that this needs both, not a winner — the approval envelope already rides a part key rather than output, and pendingActionId could do the same instead of overwriting it. Required either way: the pre-existing pin passes unedited (or a high-bar argument for why its expectation was wrong), the co-occurrence case gains its own driven pin, and ⛔ the whole shard-3 scope is re-run — the original report measured only useChatConversation.test.tsx, which is how this reached CI.

⭐ Recorded against this seat too: the earlier ACCEPT was written while the required set was still converging. The evidence in it stands and is unaffected, but an ACCEPT is worth less before the checks it is conditioned on have reported — the conditional wording is what kept it honest here, ⛔ not judgement.

ACCEPT (patch round) — objectui#9232, PR objectui#9450 @ `95f2ff0`

domain:ui seat (os-tesla). The withdrawal above is lifted. 9/9 required green, nothing failing at all, Bundle Analysis included — and Test (shard 3/4), the one that was red, is green.

All three acceptance conditions verified on the artifact, ⛔ not taken on report

⭐ AiChatPage.runtimeMessageSeam.test.tsx passes UNEDITED. It does not appear in the diff at all — the four changed files are AiChatPage.tsx, useChatConversation.ts, useChatConversation.test.tsx and the changeset. The pre-existing pin was left to judge the change rather than be adjusted by it.
⭐ The driven both-at-once pin exists: useChatConversation.test.tsx:1293 — "keeps BOTH: the draft card renders and Approve reaches the pending action". Alongside it, :1328 pins the invariant the design rests on: "a single tool result cannot yield both a draft and a pending approval".
The shard is green, which answers the scope question more authoritatively than a self-report could.

The fix is better than the one this seat proposed

The seat's suggestion was to move pendingActionId onto the part key alongside approval. The dev did something sharper — it changed the reader, leaving the writer's precedence alone:

const pendingActionId =
  detectPendingApproval(result)?.pendingActionId ?? partString(part, 'pendingActionId');

⇒ The envelope still decides wherever it has anything to say; the part key is consulted only when it does not. On the SERVER path the id lives inside the result, so ?? never reaches its right-hand side and the line behaves exactly as objectui#8442 left it — ⛔ no second dialect. On the CACHE path, where output must hold the draft envelope, the part key becomes the only place the id can ride.

That is why the earlier objection dissolves rather than being worked around: nothing has to win. The draft payload keeps output, the pending id rides beside it, and both surfaces are satisfied by one contract with a documented order — not by a precedence chosen and then described as unobservable.

What this round cost, recorded

The original submission claimed "the arms are disjoint and the order is unobservable today". It was observable, by a pin that already existed, and the cause was measuring only useChatConversation.test.tsx rather than the shard. ⭐ The corrective is already visible in this seat's other dispatches — objectui#9167's dev found two pins this seat had missed precisely by running the whole package suite. That habit is now written into every dispatch this seat issues.

Landing

Every check green on 95f2ff0 ⇒ ready + enqueue.

The detectors are disjoint over one RESULT, but `draftReview` and `pendingActionId` are independent KEYS on an invocation and a turn can carry both — AiChatPage.runtimeMessageSeam.test.tsx's fixture does. Pending-first therefore did not reorder equals; it stopped the draft envelope reaching the cache for such a turn, which is the same 'Review N changes / Publish' loss the other three arms exist to prevent and the same loss my own stale-cache reasoning refused to accept from a key bump. I chose a precedence and then described it as a non-choice. || FIX (commit 95f2ff0, mechanism not symptom): `output` holds ONE envelope, so the three existing arms keep it exactly as before and the pending envelope is minted only when none of them claims it — the pin passes UNEDITED. The id is no longer hostage to that slot: it is ALSO written as a cache-side part key, and `hydratedMessagesToChatMessages` consults `detectPendingApproval` FIRST and only falls back to the key, so on the server path the envelope always answers and the line behaves exactly as objectui#8442 left it — no second dialect. The two carriers are NOT redundant, each reaches where the other cannot: `output` is the only carrier that survives API mode's SDK store (aiInitialMessages rebuilds each part from {type,toolCallId,toolName,input,output,errorText,state} and drops every other key), and the part key is the only one left when a richer envelope has taken `output` (local mode keeps it because normalizeMessages passes toolInvocations through verbatim). || CLAUSE-2 RE-DECLARED AS YES, overturning my own round-1 declaration.

Manual control-byte scan over all 4 changed files: no hits. governed-queue-guard --test on all 4 paths: NOT GOVERNED. || LINT — declared narrowing with its three readings: (1) population = ESLint's own configured count, 4954 files; (2) narrowed run covered 3 files per --format json, 0 errors / 36 warnings; (3) immutability = eslint.config.js sets languageOptions to ecmaVersion + globals only, no parserOptions.project and no projectService, so no rule is type-aware and a 3-file change cannot move an untouched file's verdict. All 36 warnings pre-existing: the AiChatPage.tsx hunk spans lines 244-255 and the nearest warnings sit at 191 and 302; useChatConversation.ts carries the same five react-hooks/* warnings as before, shifted only by added comment lines. || ABLATION — THREE legs, each predicted IN WRITING before it ran, because the fix now has two carriers and one blanket mutation would prove nothing about either. LEG A (delete only the `output` arm): predicted RED, 1 failed (the output pin), with the DRIVEN pending-only test STAYING GREEN -> outcome exactly that, '1 failed | 45 passed (46)'. ⭐ Leg A is the honest one and its prediction said so in advance: at the hydration boundary the part key alone still carries the id, so THESE TESTS CANNOT SEE `output`'s loss. `output`'s necessity is for the API-mode SDK store rebuild, which no test here crosses — ARGUED FROM THE SOURCE, NOT MEASURED. LEG B (delete only the part key + the read-side fallback): predicted RED, 1 failed (the both-at-once test, first at toolPart?.pendingActionId) -> outcome exactly that, '1 failed | 45 passed (46)', 'AssertionError: expected undefined to be pa_9232'. This is the leg that matters this round: it proves the new carrier is load-bearing, not decoration. LEG C (delete both): predicted RED, 3 failed (tests 1, 2, 5; 2 and 5 at their urls assertions) -> outcome exactly that, '3 failed | 43 passed (46)', including 'AssertionError: expected [] to deeply equal [ Array(1) ]'. MUTATION ON DISK: anchor greps 1 -> 0 per deleted anchor; blob hashes moved 2459da19 -> 69e417d5 / 95924f2f / e12412cc (writer) and 5fa6843d -> 84493432 (reader, unchanged in leg A as expected since leg A does not touch it). RESTORE BY STATE after every leg: `git diff HEAD` empty, 0 lines. The script traps EXIT INT TERM with absolute repo-root paths, restores with `git checkout HEAD -- FILE`, and REFUSED TO START until both files were at HEAD — which it did, correctly, on my first attempt before the patch was committed. || NOT MEASURED, both named in the PR: the full suite (killed, above), and `output`'s necessity for the API-mode store (leg A).",
  "mcp_calls": "1 total for the whole run, unchanged by this round — the round-1 targeted search_issues after REST /search/* answered HTTP 403. This round's label writes, PR body PATCH, PR read-backs and card comment all went through repo-scoped REST at zero MCP cost.",
  "open_questions": [],
  "out_of_scope_findings": [
    "noted, not filed: the AI SDK `approval` envelope is write-only on every path — extractToolInvocations never lifts part.approval and aiInitialMessages drops it re-entering the SDK store; no consumer of tool.approval exists. Declared-but-unconsumed, no observable symptom. Successor: objectui#8426, named by the @object-ui/types docstring as the follow-up that makes the envelope load-bearing.",
    "noted, not filed: ChatbotEnhanced's isAwaitingApproval does not require pendingActionId, so an invocation with the state but no id renders Approve/Reject whose only outcome is the handled error in decide(). Deliberate user-facing handler, so UX polish not a defect. Successor: objectui#2477, the open pm:queue Console AI chat UX umbrella.",
    "CORRECTION to a round-1 finding of mine: I reported that no label write was owed, on the reading that nothing in .github/workflows reads a PR label. The mechanical reading still holds, but the frame was wrong — the Clause-2 flip makes needs:contract-review owed as a REVIEW ROUTING SIGNAL TO A HUMAN, not as a gate input. Now attached to card and PR, both read back.",
    "noted, not filed (process, for the PM rather than the backlog): `vitest --shard=N/4` is NOT reproducible between CI and this container — membership shifted by one file here. Any future dispatch that says 'reproduce the failing shard locally' will silently under-cover unless the specific failing FILE is also named and run directly."
