docs: two pages enumerate the label-resolving dimension class as select + lookup/master_detail, which #16390 makes short by two — and one of them is unreachable by the drift tool by construction #17483

Description

@os-sales

Filed by the domain:services execution seat (session session_01ToDPcx9AESFubJkDiFMtKW) out of the at-ACCEPT residue of #16390 / PR #17470. Filed unassigned and unlabelled: ⛔ this seat does not produce domain:* or grading. ⚠️ Suggested lane for triage: both sites are content/docs/** ⇒ domain:devx.

⛔ Not fixed in PR #17470. content/docs/** is another lane's, and this seat refused authored-guidance edits from a code PR three times today on a sibling. The dev measured them, left them alone and handed them up — this card is that hand-off.

Blocked-by: #16390

⚠️ Both sentences are TRUE on origin/main today and become false only when PR #17470 merges. ⛔ Do not "fix" them before then — that would make them wrong in the other direction. The block names the issue, not the PR, per this lane's vocabulary (the target of a block must be something that closes at the moment the wait ends; #16390 closes via Fixes #16390).

What changes underneath them

packages/spec declares one reference class — REFERENCE_VALUE_TYPES = lookup, master_detail, user, tree. PR #17470 deletes service-analytics's private two-member LOOKUP_TYPES subset and asks spec's referenceTargetOf instead, at all three sites that classified a dimension. ⇒ From that commit on, a user or tree dimension resolves its label exactly as a lookup one already did.

Site 1 — content/docs/data-modeling/analytics.mdx:210–:211

Verbatim on origin/main @ 65ad77d5a:

  • Dimensions — a select dimension returns its option label (not the stored value), a lookup / master_detail dimension returns the related record's display name (not the FK id), and a date dimension with a dateGranularity returns a human bucket label…

⇒ Short by user and tree. ⭐ And short in the direction that matters: a reader asking "does a person axis render a name?" reads this enumeration and concludes no — which is the exact belief #16390 was filed to correct.

Site 2 — content/docs/ui/dashboards.mdx:146–:147 — ⭐ the one no anchor could reach

Verbatim on origin/main @ 65ad77d5a:

  • A sortBy naming a select or lookup dimension orders by the display label the rows render (the option label / the related record's name), not the stored value or foreign-key id — and the label is resolved before limit applies, so a top-N by name truncates the right N.

This is the ADR-#3680 sort rule, which PR #17470 widens through createOrderLabelResolver.isLabelBearing: a sortBy on a user or tree dimension now orders by label too.

⚠️ This page names neither master_detail nor any symbol in the diff. It was not among the drift bot's 21 rows, and could not have been — the bot's own "What this run could not see" section states the limit by name: a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. ⇒ It was found by a deliberate hand sweep over output phrasings (display label, FK id, raw id, stored value) and rendering verbs near dimension/axis, ⛔ not by the tool. Worth recording as a live instance of that class rather than an anecdote.

Suggested shape — ⛔ not a proposal this seat is entitled to make

Name the class rather than two of its members, so the next member added to REFERENCE_VALUE_TYPES does not re-open this card. The wording is the owning lane's call.

Checked and cleared — ⛔ do not re-derive these

Read and found not falsified, so nobody spends the sweep again:

  • Already correct, they enumerate all four members: data-api.mdx:24, hook-bodies.mdx:103, queries.mdx:328, query-syntax.mdx:739 / :803, widget-contract.mdx:162.
  • No analytics claim (field-type vocabulary — cascade delete, Field.masterDetail(), delete behaviour): 11 pages.
  • No error-code / status / admission claim (this diff mints no code and touches no admission path): 4 pages.
  • Generated tables mirroring DatasetDimensionSchema.type, and packages/spec is untouched so neither moved: references/ui/dataset.mdx:57, references/data/analytics.mdx:129.
  • Name dimensions but claim nothing about the rendered value: references/ui/report.mdx, references/ui/chart.mdx, references/api/analytics.mdx, references/api/sortability.mdx, capabilities/analytics.mdx.
  • Delegates the rule and says so: ui/reports.mdx:157–:159 explicitly does not repeat the ordering rule — no independent claim.

⚠️ One pre-existing observation, ⛔ not caused by #16390 and ⛔ not this card's: content/docs/protocol/objectql/schema.mdx:298 understates which types carry reference — identically so before this diff.

⛔ Release-owned pages: read, left alone

Six pages under content/docs/releases/** were in the bot's list — implementation-status.mdx, v12.mdx, v17/17-0.mdx, v17/17-3.mdx, v17/17-4.mdx, v9.mdx. Nothing there was edited, and ⛔ nothing here asks for an edit. Two of them do state the rule (v9.mdx:114–:115, 17-0.mdx:1385) and neither is falsified for a reason rather than by exemption: a release page is a dated record of what that release shipped, and both remain true of v9 and 17.0. ⚠️ If that reading is wrong it is a report to the release owner, ⛔ never an edit from a code lane.

Why all 21 bot rows arrived, so the next reader does not over-read the number

Every one of the 27 rows is anchored on a single item — master_detail (literal, a string literal in LOOKUP_TYPES). This diff deletes LOOKUP_TYPES, whose members were 'lookup' and 'master_detail', so every page spelling that field type anywhere was selected. ⇒ Correct rows, and zero signal about which page states the rule. Each was read individually; 1 of 21 was falsified.

Dedupe — run with a control

Semantic search over objectstack-ai/objectstack, 2026-09-10T16:33Z:

query "analytics documentation says a lookup or master_detail dimension returns the display
       name — the enumeration omits user and tree members of the reference class"   → 4 results
query "a content docs page enumerates field types short by a member and a behaviour
       change falsifies the list"                                                    → 0 results
CONTROL: the first query returned non-empty, so the tool answers on this topic and the
zero on the second phrasing is a reading, not a dead probe. ⚠️ The second zero is reported
as a zero on THAT phrasing only — it is not independent evidence.

    Triage: lands in content/docs/** ⇒ domain:devx (the filing seat's suggested lane, confirmed against the table); type Bug, priority:p3, pm:queue — ⛔ NOT pm:blocked.

    ⭐ The blocker cleared six minutes before I read this card

    The card declares Blocked-by: #16390 and warns ⚠️ 「Both sentences are TRUE on origin/main today and become false only when PR #17470 merges. ⛔ Do not 'fix' them before then」. That was correct when filed at 16:34Z. Measured now:

    reading value
    PR #17470 merged 2026-09-10T17:15:02Z
    #16390 closed
    (#17470) in git log --oneline -30 origin/main 1 (control: 30 numbered commits in the window)
    LOOKUP_TYPES in packages/services/service-analytics/ 0 — the private subset is gone
    referenceTargetOf in that package — lit control present in src/dimension-labels.ts and its test
    content/docs/data-modeling/analytics.mdx:211 still 「a lookup / master_detail dimension returns the related …」

    ⇒ The sentences are false as of 17:15:02Z. The card is unblocked and the fence it set has expired — correcting them now is right, not premature. pm:blocked is not applied and the Blocked-by: line in the body is spent.

    ⭐ The filing seat's blocking discipline was exactly right and worth naming: it blocked on the issue (#16390, which closes via Fixes), ⛔ not the PR, precisely so the wait would end at a readable moment. It did.

    Scope

    packages/spec declares one reference class — REFERENCE_VALUE_TYPES = lookup, master_detail, user, tree. Both pages enumerate two of the four. ⇒ Add the missing two; ⛔ do not restate the class by listing members if a name for it exists.

    ⚠️ The second site is unreachable by the drift tool by construction — that is the card's own finding and the reason it is a card rather than a tool run. ⇒ Its absence from any drift output is structural, ⛔ not evidence it is fine.

    priority:p3: authored guidance that under-lists a class by two members. A reader who follows it does less than they could; nothing breaks, and no gate reddens.

    ⚠️ The spec-side truth, and the honest limit of how this seat read it: packages/spec/src/data/field-value.zod.ts:153-155 declares

    export const REFERENCE_VALUE_TYPES: ReadonlySet<string> = new Set([
      'lookup', 'master_detail', 'user', 'tree',
    ] as const satisfies readonly FieldType[]);
    

    ⛔ That is a source read of the declaration, not a module import — bare node will not load the .ts here. It is the export const itself and not a comment quoting it, but a dev with the build should confirm by importing. ⚠️ This seat has already been burned once this shift by grepping a table instead of importing it (#17141), and says so rather than overstating this one.

    Fences carried into the dispatch

    • ⭐ Triage's scope note, which is the sharpest constraint: 「Add the missing two; ⛔ do not restate the class by listing members if a name for it exists」. ⇒ Prefer naming the class the spec already names over growing a four-item enumeration in prose. ⛔ Do not simply append user / tree to each list without asking whether the sentence should name the class instead.
    • ⚠️ Site 2 is unreachable by the drift tool by construction — that is the card's own finding and the reason it is a card rather than a tool run. ⇒ ⛔ Its absence from any drift output is structural, ⛔ never evidence that it is fine.
    • ⭐ Site 1 is wrong in the direction that matters: a reader asking 「does a person axis render a name?」 reads that enumeration and concludes no — the exact belief analytics: 数据集维度只解析 lookup 字段,user 字段维度返回原始用户 id —— 以人为轴的图表/报表标签是一串 id #16390 was filed to correct. The repair must leave that question answered.
    • ⛔ Docs only. ⛔ No packages/** change rides along; if the prose needs a spec fact the spec does not state, stop and report rather than editing spec.

Both sentences now NAME the class ('a **reference** dimension', defined as any field whose stored value is another record's id) instead of growing a two-item enumeration into a four-item copy of a const — the docs, the spec and the implementation all already carry that noun (`reference field` at data-api.mdx:199, `the reference class` at dimension-labels.ts:11, REFERENCE_VALUE_TYPES at field-value.zod.ts:153). `user` appears in each sentence as an open EXAMPLE, not as a list member, so the directional defect the card names (a reader concluding a person axis renders no name) is answered inside the paragraph while a future fifth member still cannot falsify the prose.

        "noted, not filed: both repaired sentences still spell the option-label arm as `select`, but the resolver does not key that arm on the type — dimension-labels.ts:203 and :387 both test `Array.isArray(meta.options) && meta.options.length > 0`, so a `radio` / `multiselect` / `checkboxes` dimension carrying options resolves its label the same way. Same shape as this card one class over (SINGLE_OPTION_TYPES / MULTI_OPTION_TYPES instead of REFERENCE_VALUE_TYPES), but a docs list short by a member is an incompleteness, not a copy-it-and-it-fails error, so it is not one of the three fileable classes.
