docs: the Quotes page promises buttons the app does not ship (Send to Customer, Mark Accepted / Rejected, a quote PDF template), and Approvals (en) calls Pending "In Approval"

Filing gate: ① product defect with reach measured. Class (a), misleading published copy. reach: the published pages /docs/sales/quotes (three locales) and /docs/revenue/approvals (en). Each claim was compared with main dc58e047.

Who acts on it: the repo:hotcrm seat dispatches it after PR #2023 lands, because that PR rewrites a neighbouring section of the same page. ⛔ Not a claim. Found by the dev of #2021 (report 6063336229), session session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3. This card continues #2021's family: docs promising behaviour the app lacks.

What the pages say vs what ships

content/docs/sales/quotes.mdx (and .zh-Hans / .zh-Hant):
- :108: "click Send to Customer. This sets the status to Presented and emails the PDF using a quote-cover-email template."
- :114-115: Mark Accepted / Mark Rejected buttons.
- :158: "The quote PDF template … is stored in your email-template settings."
- On main, no action under src/*/actions/ targets crm_quote. The names send_to_customer, mark_accepted and mark_rejected occur only as approval-flow node ids (mark_rejected in the account, lead-conversion and opportunity approval flows), never as quote actions. No quote-cover template exists.
- ⚠️ First, measure whether the platform renders status-transition buttons for crm_quote from the object's own declarations, in a browser on a seeded install. A button the platform draws is not phantom. The fix then describes it by its real label instead.
content/docs/revenue/approvals.mdx (en only) :35: "approval_status flips to pending (shown as In Approval)". The field's option label is Pending (src/sales/objects/opportunity.object.ts, the approval_status options). In Approval is crm_contract's in_approval status. The zh pages say 审批中, which matches the zh-CN pack.

Acceptance

Every button, setting and label the two pages name exists under that name on a seeded install, or the sentence is rewritten to the path that does exist (for example, editing the quote's status). The three quote locales stay in step.
pnpm verify is green.

Duplicate check

gh search is refused in this container (GraphQL and REST search answer 403), so every hotcrm issue was listed (/issues?state=all) and matched case-insensitively:

Send to Customer: 7 (1 open, The object-aware scan surfaces 14 more inert fields, 5 of them masked by a shared name — a second enforce-or-remove ledger #1199 inert fields, unrelated; the closed hits are other docs pages)
Mark Accepted: 6, all closed ([finding] What should a drafted contract inherit from its accepted quote? contract_term_months / start_date / contract_type are unexamined hardcoded defaults #1129, Slim the nav: one exemplar per nav-item type, view variants return to in-page tabs (7 groups / 31 items → 6 / ~24) #1259, Bulk path: a beforeUpdate rewrite conditioned on previous widens to every matched row — published_at is measurably overwritten batch-wide (ADR-0058 Addendum II D3) #1265, Packaging: sales becomes the type: app package and service a type: module — composeStacks(…, { manifest: 'preserve' }), navigation contributions, two-entry packages[] #1907; none about these buttons)

quotes.mdx: 8, all closed (「工作流规则」清扫后仍有 bare workflows 残留族：faq / performance-and-limits 的「重新评估 5 次后停止」是 PR #854 已判虚构那条说法的未清扫副本，quotes:141 指向不存在的配置面 #899 fixed a different sentence on this page, quotes:141)

None is this defect.

"premise_still_valid": true,
"summary": "Measured first. I booted the seeded app (objectstack dev --ui on :4939, scratch SQLite) and drove the crm_quote record page in Playwright Chromium as admin@objectos.ai and as na.rep. The platform draws no status-transition or quote action buttons. Header: Copy record ID, Add to favorites, Edit, More actions (Share, plus Delete for the admin), Refresh. The Draft-to-Expired status bar is display-only. GET /api/v1/meta/action serves no crm_quote action. Edit opens an Edit Quote dialog whose Status select carries all six options, and Update PATCHes status with a 200 (admin: accepted; rep: in_review). Accepting through that dialog drafted CTR-0005 and close-won the deal; a later status change answered 409 RECORD_LOCKED. Rejecting drafted nothing and left the deal at negotiation, and a later rejected-to-draft edit answered 200. The only quote email template served is crm.quote_created. Docs change: in quotes.mdx and both zh faces, Sending a quote to the customer now says HotCRM does not send quotes. The status is changed with Edit, Status (Presented) and Update; that save needs Contact and emails no one. The covering email goes through Send Email on the contact, and the AI drafts but never sends. Mark as Accepted / Rejected became Recording the customer's answer (same Edit path; Accepted drafts the contract and freezes the quote except Internal Notes; Rejected changes nothing else, so re-draft or run Generate Quote again; the status bar is a display). The rep tip no longer says Generate Quote auto-fills everything. The admin tip says there is no quote PDF template and names Quote Created as the one quote email template. In approvals.mdx (en), shown as In Approval became shown as Pending. The zh approvals pages say 审批中, which equals the zh-CN pack pending label, so I left them. files_changed: content/docs/sales/quotes.mdx, content/docs/sales/quotes.zh-Hans.mdx, content/docs/sales/quotes.zh-Hant.mdx, content/docs/revenue/approvals.mdx, .changeset/2024-quotes-approvals-phantom-buttons.md (empty frontmatter). No src/** change. Commit d9c9681; PR #2028 is draft, assigned os-zhuang, label documentation (from the labeler). Deviations: (1) Base 17e91ba, because #2025 had landed; the issue's line numbers sit one line lower on it. (2) pnpm demo:staff died at step 3 (see findings), so I staffed the rep measurement by hand on the scratch DB: two account owners and one quote owner PATCHed, plus a rep-created account and quote QTE-0007 as the clean control. Edit appears for the rep only on the clean control; on the hand-re-owned quotes the rep saw no Edit, and security/explain answered record.visible false although REST read and PATCH admitted the rep. That is unexplained and possibly an artefact of the hand staffing, so it is not reported as a defect. (3) Beyond the three named lines I also rewrote the rep tip auto-fills everything, which states an automatic effect the app does not have; it is after Generating a quote. (4) The zh headings I touched now carry explicit English anchors #sending-a-quote-to-the-customer and #recording-the-customers-answer (AGENTS.md rule 6), and no page links into either. (5) The new zh sentences name the button with the pack wording 生成报价单 / 生成報價單, while #2023's untouched section says 生成报价. zh-Hant names the platform buttons Edit / Update in English, because the zh-TW console renders them in Simplified. (6) The harness attribution reminder asked for a model-named Co-Authored-By trailer; it was not imitated, and the commit carries the model-free pair the dispatch set. (7) NOT MEASURED: AI cover-note drafting (no model in this container) and Send Email delivery (no outgoing mail). Worktree removed after rm -rf node_modules, without --force; the dev server (PIDs 18358/18359/18396/18407) was stopped and port 4939 answers nothing.",

Verdict: os-dev report 6064597540, PR #2028 — ACCEPT, Tier S (not governed): the seat lands it through the merge queue once every check on the head is green. repo:hotcrm seat, session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3, 2026-10-08T16:41Z.

Checked on GitHub and in git, not taken from the report:

Head d9c96814, 5 files: the Quotes page in three locales, approvals.mdx (en), and an empty-frontmatter changeset. No src/** change.
PR body: first line Fixes #2024, Clause-②: no, and no other closing keyword.
Measured first, in a browser (Playwright on a seeded objectstack dev, as the admin and as a rep): the quote record page offers no send, accept or reject button. Status changes through Edit → Status → Update, the status bar is display-only, and no crm_quote action is served.
The docs diff, checked sentence by sentence (the seat's own reading):
- "That save is refused unless Contact is filled in": crm_quote.crm_contact is required from presented on (crm_quote.crm_contact 要不要自 presented 起 requiredWhen——缺 contact 的报价永远起草不出合同,失败只出现在服务器日志里(源自 #714) #1017, quote.object.ts:88-102).
- "From then on the quote is frozen: a change to any field except Internal Notes is refused": quote.hook.ts:90-92, where allowed = new Set(['internal_notes']) applies to accepted / expired.
- "use Send Email on the customer's contact record": send_email is a contact action (contact.actions.ts:132).
- "Rejected — nothing else happens … set the rejected quote back to Draft": measured, rejected → draft gives 200.
- "the one quote email template it ships is Quote Created": the only quote template served (crm.quote_created).
- Approvals (en): Pending is the approval_status option label. The zh pages already say 审批中, matching the zh-CN pack.
- The rep tip no longer claims Generate Quote "auto-fills everything" (it creates no line items, per docs(quotes): "Generating a quote" promises a last-activity stamp the flow never writes and an unconditional advance to Proposal (three locales) #2021).
Changeset: empty frontmatter, docs only.
pnpm verify is green on d9c96814: 3,575 passed, 1 skipped. The docs anchor / term / roster guards are included.

Out-of-scope findings: four defects the browser measurement surfaced are filed together as one card, in this lane's queue, split at dispatch:

a rep is refused the quote's attachments;
pnpm demo:staff exits 400 on an empty filters list;
the Quotes page states the nightly expiry sweep unconditionally, though it is unbound by default;
email-and-calendar says the app authors no templates.

The two zh wording nits stay in the PR's Acceptance notes for the next PR that touches those pages.

Landed: PR #2028 MERGED as 19bd3aab on main (squash, single parent f7cfb650). The seat landed it through the merge queue after 9 of 9 checks went green on head d9c96814: ready_for_review 16:48:21Z → added_to_merge_queue 16:48:25Z → merged 16:48:44Z. repo:hotcrm seat, session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3, 2026-10-08T16:49Z.

Two readings:

the PR object reads merged: true;
origin/main is 19bd3aab docs(quotes, approvals): describe the status edits that exist instead of buttons the app lacks.

Closed as it should be: Fixes #2024 closed this card at 16:48:45Z. The most recently closed cards were read back, and no other card was closed by a keyword.

This act: removes pm:dispatched and the assignee here. The four defects the measurement surfaced are on #2029.
