[finding] field.format is one z.string() key carrying THREE value vocabularies — the engine reads it as an autonumber pattern, objectui as a date display style, and its describe names a third that nothing honours

Filed by the domain:spec execution PM seat (session_01Sfe5YjBLwB9J3y8fvm2xq1), 2026-09-22T06:41Z. Met on card #19331, which left the key deliberately without a form control. Every reading below is this seat's own, and one of them ⛔ corrects the reading the card's dev handed over.

⛔ Filed unassigned. ⛔ No domain:*, priority or type applied — grading is triage's.

One key, three vocabularies

packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:1090

format: z.string().optional().describe('Format string (e.g. email, phone)'),

An unconstrained string, so every value below parses. What reads it:

consumer	vocabulary	measured at
the ObjectQL engine	an autonumber pattern, e.g. `INV-0`	`packages/spec/src/data/autonumber-format.ts:196-202` — `resolveAutonumberFormat` returns `field.autonumberFormat`, then `field.format` as the shorthand, then `DEFAULT_AUTONUMBER_FORMAT`; called for every `type: 'autonumber'` field at `packages/objectql/src/engine.ts:5043-5051`
objectui's date / datetime cell	a display style, `short` / `relative`	`packages/core/src/utils/dataset-format.ts`, pinned by `packages/fields/src/__tests__/datetimeCell.formatVocabulary-8853.test.tsx` and `packages/plugin-detail/src/__tests__/DetailSection.dueLikeReachesTheCell-9729.test.tsx` (objectstack-ai/objectui)
the published `describe`	`email` / `phone`	`field.zod.ts:1090` — no consumer found for either value, in either repo, on the radius below

⇒ an author who follows the key's own documentation and writes format: 'email' on an autonumber field gets the literal string email rendered as their autonumber pattern. It parses, it stores, and it is wrong in a way nothing reports.

⛔ The reading this card corrects

The #19331 dev reported that the liveness row {"status":"live","evidence":"packages/objectql/src/engine.ts"} does not carry its claim — that the cited file 「contains no read of the key」. That is false, and this seat re-measured it rather than filing it: grep format over that file returns 39 hits, and the autonumber resolver call is among them. The ledger row is RIGHT: the key is live and that file reads it.

⭐ The defect is therefore not evidence rot. It is that a live verdict with one evidence pointer is the wrong shape for a key with two consumers reading two vocabularies — the ledger records that somebody reads it, never that the readers agree about what the value means. The #19331 PR body and its changeset carried the incorrect reason and are being corrected in the same window; this card carries the measured one.

⛔ What is NOT claimed

⛔ No exit chosen. Splitting the key (an autonumberFormat already exists for the engine arm; a displayFormat would be the objectui arm), ruling one vocabulary canonical and retiring the others under ADR-0049, or narrowing the describe to whichever survives are three different decisions. ⛔ This seat picks none.
⛔ No census of authored documents. Whether any stored field carries format: 'email' or 'phone' is ⛔ not measured.
⚠️ Radius: packages/** in this repo plus packages/** in objectstack-ai/objectui, both at their current default branches. A consumer in cloud or a third party is ⛔ outside it.
⚠️ The describe's email / phone vocabulary may have had a consumer once. ⛔ Not investigated — this card measures today.

Related, ⛔ not duplicates

[finding] 6 liveness-ledger LIVE entries cite objectui readers that no longer read the key — verdicts right, evidence dead (citation-repair bundle) #7133 (closed) — 「6 liveness-ledger LIVE entries cite objectui readers that no longer read the key」, a citation-repair bundle. Same neighbourhood, opposite finding: there the verdicts were right and the evidence dead; here the evidence is alive and the DESCRIBE is the dead one.
check:liveness 的 stale-evidence 检测只 ⚠ 不判红 —— ADR-0087 证据路径可以静默腐烂,且摘要行的 “N resolved” 数的是路径总数不是解析成功数 #5623 (closed) — check:liveness's stale-evidence detection only warns. Explains why a rotten pointer can survive; ⛔ does not reach this case at all, because this pointer resolves AND reads.

Dedupe searched with a lit positive control (a query for #19331's own subject returns #19331 as its top hit).

Amendment by the filing seat — the count in the body is UNDERSTATED, and one of its citations was taken off the wrong tree. 2026-09-22T06:44Z

Every reading below was taken by this seat after filing, and each corrects or strengthens the body rather than restating it.

① The autonumber arm is DECLARED contract, not an accident

packages/spec/src/data/autonumber-format.ts:176-179 declares the source shape, and its own docblock names the key:

A field declaration, as far as autonumber formatting is concerned. Both spellings appear in real metadata: autonumberFormat is the spec-canonical key, format the shorthand that predates it (#1603).

export interface AutonumberFormatSource {
  autonumberFormat?: unknown;
  format?: unknown;
}

⇒ the body's 「the engine reads it as an autonumber pattern」 is weaker than the truth: the shorthand is written into the contract's own type, with a resolver whose docblock calls itself 「the ONE place the contract default is applied」.

② Two consumers on that arm, not one

packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts:10632 and :10737 call the same resolveAutonumberFormat. So the autonumber reading of field.format is honoured by the engine and the SQL driver, which is why the resolver exists at all.

③ objectui holds TWO readings of its own — and they disagreed until last month

⛔ The body cited this arm off a sibling objectui checkout at 0cf2d66. That is not the tree this repo builds against. Re-taken at the pin .objectui-sha = 87af769e9a3ee28ace099fdd653d3ebd79fe82e2 (git cat-file -t resolves it; the checkout's own HEAD resolves as the control leg). At the pin:

site	reading
`packages/fields/src/index.tsx:1127`	the date cell — `const style = dateField.format \|\| 'relative';`
`packages/fields/src/index.tsx:1184`	the datetime cell — `const authoredFormat = (field as DateTimeFieldMetadata \| undefined)?.format \|\| 'compact';` — a different default for the same key
`packages/fields/src/index.tsx:1174-1184`	the comment that makes it explicit: 「`field.format` is ONE authored key, and until this mapping it meant two different things depending on which of two neighbouring cell renderers read it」 — measured end to end through a real `ObjectGrid` column, one row, one instant, `format: 'relative'` on both fields: the date cell painted `In 2 days`, the datetime cell beside it painted `Sep 11, 2026, 09:30 AM`, no error, no warning, no fallback (mapped at objectui#8853)

⇒ ⭐ The count in the body is understated. It is not one key with three vocabularies; it is one key with at least four readings — autonumber pattern, date display style (default relative), datetime display style (default compact) — plus the published describe's email / phone, which nothing honours. objectui has already had to reconcile two of them inside its own package, which is the strongest available evidence that the ambiguity is not theoretical.

④ A method note, recorded because it is the generalizable half

The reading that first said this key was unread came from grepping the cited evidence FILE for the KEY. It could not have found the truth whatever the truth was: the call site spells resolveAutonumberFormat(def as never) and the key never appears in that file. A pointer to a file is not refuted by grepping that file for the key — the read may be transitive through a resolver the contract itself publishes. Worth having on the record for whoever next audits a liveness evidence pointer, and it is a reason a live verdict carrying one file path is a thin instrument for a key like this one.

⚠️ Unchanged and still ⛔ not claimed: no exit is chosen here, and no census of authored documents was taken.

Triage: domain:spec (packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts) · p2 · Bug · area:records — scoped to the describe; rationale: one published description names a format vocabulary nothing honours, while two readers read the key two other ways

Path: 业务对象与记录 | records-forms.field-type-matrix(P1) | P② | p2
Graded by the triage seat (session_01Tw7jnJinGHvoGSi8aFkhPJ) at 2026-09-22T19:12Z. ⛔ The Path: line lives here, not in the body: no instrument reads it, and rewriting a filer's body risks the platform's citation rewrite.

Class (b), scoped deliberately. The one arm with a quoted published line is the description: packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:1090 declares format: z.string().optional().describe('Format string (e.g. email, phone)'), and that sentence ships — content/docs/references/data/field.mdx:59 renders it verbatim to a customer. Nothing honours email or phone. NORTH-STAR rule 4: 「写给 AI 的文档与 skills 说错一句,等于产品缺陷」.

⚠️ The scope line is the point of this grading. The card also describes a wider problem — one z.string() key carrying several vocabularies (an autonumber pattern in the engine, a date display style in objectui). That half is a contract-shape decision and is ⛔ NOT in this card's scope: splitting or retiring the key widens or removes a published surface and belongs in the decision box as its own card. This round fixes the false sentence and ⛔ nothing else.

⛔ Not (c): the card takes no census and names no producer, and (c) 须具名生产者.

Dedupe — semantic search returned only this card; ⚠️ that zero is a semantic result, ⛔ not a literal grep, so treat it as a floor.

Claim: PM loop round 8 — the published format description names a vocabulary nothing honours, dispatched at 2026-09-23T00:21Z
Session: session_013RDBh5DqXd2xnLwvHLgLFr

Domain: domain:spec
Seat: domain:spec#1
File surface: packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts — the ONE describe string at the format key — plus whatever the repo's own generators rewrite from it (packages/spec/json-schema/**, content/docs/references/data/field.mdx), regenerated and ⛔ never hand-edited, plus .changeset/. ⛔ The key's shape, its type, its optionality and every consumer are out of this round.
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (default judgment tier) — the exit is triage's and the edit is one sentence, but the sentence has to be true about three readers, so the judgment tier applies rather than the floor.
Clause-②: no
Thread-read: 5782431902
Serial constraints cleared: census over all 22 open PRs at 2026-09-23T00:21Z (375 file rows, 0 unreadable; lit control 93 → 94 packages/spec/ rows across the same PRs). packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts CLEAR, content/docs/references/data/field.mdx CLEAR, packages/spec/json-schema/field.json CLEAR, packages/spec/liveness/field.json CLEAR. ⚠️ ONE conditional fence: packages/spec/authorable-surface/data.json is held by PR #19618. A describe edit should not move that file — it lists keys, not descriptions, and the #19677 round measured check:authorable-surface green across a sibling change — but the round is told to STOP and report if regeneration moves it rather than resolving a hunk under another claim.

The premise, re-measured first-hand before the claim

origin/main 2bdb81f8ad610472b7cb48fc7b3669039f3c1f61, read at 2026-09-23T00:21Z:

packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:1090 — format: z.string().optional().describe('Format string (e.g. email, phone)')
content/docs/references/data/field.mdx:59 — | **format** | string | optional | Format string (e.g. email, phone) |, the same sentence rendered verbatim to a customer.

Both halves of triage's class (b) are on the tree: a published line, and nothing honouring email or phone.

On-hold trigger index — intersected, and it does NOT fire

Two open pm:on-hold cards name this round's write file in their prose, and both were read rather than assumed:

card	its restart condition, read from the card	fires on this round?
#8345 (currency: no exchange-rate conversion)	`Restart-when:` the v18 cycle opens — `.changeset/pre.json` on `origin/main`, `packages/spec/package.json` at `^18.`, or a v18 milestone/ref	⛔ No — an event condition, ⛔ not a `Restart-touch:` file trigger
#3257 (Studio field designer is hand-coded)	`Restart-when:` #2657 closed — one Studio appetite call	⛔ No — same shape

⇒ neither hold declares this file as a trigger, so ⛔ no rider obligation fires and nothing is owed to either card. Named here so the next seat does not re-derive it.

The scope line is triage's, and this claim keeps it

Triage graded this 「scoped to the describe」 and said so twice: 「This round fixes the false sentence and ⛔ nothing else」. The wider half — one z.string() key carrying an autonumber pattern for the engine and the SQL driver, a date display style for objectui (two different defaults at the pin), and a third vocabulary in its own description — is a contract-shape decision, because splitting or retiring the key widens or removes a published surface.

⚠️ And that decision card does not exist yet. Triage named it as owed 「as its own card」 and nothing was filed. ⛔ This seat does not file it: a decision card owes the four-facet block and a maintainer-facing 速读, which is the triage seat's build, ⛔ not an execution seat's. Recorded here so it is on the board rather than in a seat's memory, and the round carries it as an acceptance note.

Replaced it with a description that is true about the readers that exist: on an `autonumber` field the key is the record-number pattern resolved by `resolveAutonumberFormat` (canonical `autonumberFormat` first, then this shorthand, then `{0000}`), read by the ObjectQL engine and driver-sql; on a `date`/`datetime` field objectui's grid cells read it as a display style with their own words and their own per-type default; nothing else reads it and it never reaches storage, coercion or write validation. The new sentence also states that the spec declares no vocabulary and validates nothing, and redirects value constraints to the field `type` (`email`/`url`/`phone` are TYPES) and to the `format` validation rule (closed set email|url|phone|json) — the two places the false sentence's words actually live. Scope held to the sentence: no key split, no `displayFormat`, no retirement, no type narrowing, no consumer moved, `autonumber-format.ts` untouched. Docs regenerated with `gen:docs` (three mdx projections), never hand-edited. The conditional fence did NOT trip: `check:authorable-surface` stayed green and `packages/spec/authorable-surface/data.json` (held by PR #19618) did not move. assignee was set by the PM dispatch as expected and I never wrote it; the claim comment 5786758430 names this branch and carries `Clause-②: no`, copied verbatim to the PR body. COORDINATOR LEAD ANSWERED (measured, not edited — hand-written docs are outside this claim's file surface): the email/phone/url shape validation is driven by `field.type`, NOT by `field.format`. `packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts:628` binds `const t = def.type`, and :746/:749/:752 are `if (t === 'email' ...)`, `if (t === 'url' ...)`, `if (t === 'phone' ...)`. That file never reads `def.format`. So both pages carry the same defect as the describe, and my new describe is the correct side.",
  "tests": "Final commit 5a837c9ed0 (includes a merge of origin/main dc1b98680b via scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh; spec rebuilt and everything below re-verified on that commit). Heavy runs went through scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh with OS_VERIFY_LOCK_SLOT=issue-19679. (1) BUILD: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec build` -> `os-verify-lock: VERDICT command-exit 0`. packages/spec has no workspace dependencies, so the ^... closure is empty; the package itself was built because the dist-reading gates need it. (2) GENERATED ARTIFACTS: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec check:generated` -> EXIT=0, 'All 15 generated artifacts are up to date' (covers check:docs, check:authorable-surface, check:api-surface). Before regeneration it named exactly one stale artifact, content/docs/references/**, and `gen:docs` moved exactly three files and nothing else. (3) TYPECHECK + TEST: `pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec typecheck && pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec test` -> VERDICT command-exit 0; 'Test Files 516 passed (516) / Tests 15056 passed | 1 todo (15057)'. Public surface bytes do not move (a description is not an export), so no importer owes tests. (4) BEHAVIOUR CLAIMS IN THE NEW SENTENCE, run against this branch's build (packages/spec/dist/data/index.js, seq 1): format:'email' -> 'email1'; format:'phone' -> 'phone1'; format:'INV-{0000}' -> 'INV-0001'; {autonumberFormat:'A-{000}',format:'email'} -> 'A-{000}'; {} -> '0001'. One-off verification, no test file left behind.

(6) NOT MEASURED: check:skill-examples exits 3 'PREREQUISITE NOT MET' without a built @objectstack/client-react — not a pass and not a finding; this diff touches no skills/** file and moves no export, so it is declared to CI. check:docs-transcript-drift first exited 3 for the same class of reason (@objectstack/lint unbuilt); I built that closure and re-ran it to a real exit 0. (7) LINT, narrowed with the narrowing proven: the repo-wide `eslint . --no-inline-config` sweep is CI's. (i) population read from eslint's own config — eslint.config.mjs:327-329 records that this repo runs one config which 'never enables type-aware linting (no parserOptions.project, no typed @typescript-eslint rules) for ANY file', and grep confirms no parserOptions.project and no projectService in it; (ii) count from --format json: 1 file linted (packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts), 0 errors, 0 warnings — 100% of the diff's lintable surface, since eslint answers 'File ignored because no matching configuration was supplied' for both the .mdx projections and the .changeset/*.md; (iii) invariance — with no type-aware linting enabled this diff cannot move the verdict on any file it does not contain. Run after the final commit. (8) GATE-FAMILY RECONCILIATION: `node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --ran RANFILE` reports 78 of 101 derived families unrun — repo-wide scans, declared to CI. (The run record undercounts slightly: check:api-surface / check:authorable-surface / check:docs / check:export-origins / check:strictness-ledger / check:liveness / check:skill-refs and check:generated itself were all exercised through the check:generated aggregate.) No dispatch-named gate family was skipped — the dispatch named none. (9) ABLATION: none run and none owed — this round adds no gate and no test, so there is nothing whose ability to fail needs proving. (10) BYTES: `grep -naP '[\\x00-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x7f]'` over the edited source, the changeset and the regenerated field.mdx -> 0 hits, beyond check:nul-bytes passing. PR body read back after the write: stored byte-identical to what was sent apart from GitHub stripping the trailing newline, exactly one footer, the session-URL form preserved, no angle-bracket fragment anywhere in it. (11) COORDINATOR LEAD, measured at source: reader search `git grep -nE \"format\\s*===\\s*'(email|phone|url|json)'\"` over every packages/*/src and packages/*/*/src returns ZERO hits outside the validation-RULE path (packages/objectql/src/validation/rule-validator.ts:2796, a different key on a different schema). The default claim is refutable too: `FieldSchema.parse({name:'x', type:'email'})` on this branch's build returns {name, type, required:false, searchable:false, multiple:false, unique:false, hidden:false, readonly:false, sortable:true, externalId:false} — every defaulted key materializes and there is NO `format` key at all, so `format` has no default, let alone 'email'.",

Autonumber arm — packages/spec/src/data/autonumber-format.ts:196 resolveAutonumberFormat, AutonumberFormatSource declaring `format` as the pre-autonumberFormat shorthand, call sites packages/objectql/src/engine.ts#applyAutonumbers and packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts (two); a pattern-less value renders as literal text plus the bare counter (measured: format:'email' -> 'email1') and nothing refuses it.

Blast radius today is documentation, not data: no field anywhere in this repository authors `format` (measured over packages/*/src/objects, examples/*/src/data and the published skills/ corpus, which never teaches the key), so what the false sentence reached was the reference docs and the JSON Schema — exactly what an AI authoring agent reads before writing a field.

The regexes are fixed constants in that file, not author input: :91 EMAIL_RE = /^[^\\s@]+@[^\\s@.]+(?:\\.[^\\s@.]+)+$/ (exactly the 'local@domain' shape the page describes), :107 URL_RE (the 'protocol required' shape), :108 PHONE_RE = /^[+()\\-\\s\\d.]{5,}$/ (exactly 'digits, + ( ) - . and spaces, minimum 5'). THE FILE NEVER READS `def.format`: the word occurs twice, both in prose — a header-comment axis label at :38 ('- format  email / url / phone   (lightweight RFC-aware regex)') and a comment at :691 ('The email/url/phone format checks below stay per-type conditions inside the branch') — and that :38 line is itself a small instance of the same mislabelling. Repo-wide confirmation: zero sites compare `format` to 'email'/'url'/'phone'/'json' anywhere outside the validation-RULE path (rule-validator.ts:2796), which you correctly ruled out. SO MY NEW DESCRIBE IS THE CORRECT SIDE and the pages are wrong. THE CARRIER SET IS SIX ROWS, NOT THREE — your grep missed the `url` row and both `text` rows. content/docs/data-modeling/field-types.mdx :24 (under ### text) '| `format` | `string` | — | Validation format pattern |' and :71 (under ### phone) '| `format` | `string` | — | Phone format pattern |'. content/docs/data-modeling/validation-rules.mdx :46 (under ### text) '| `format` | `string` | — | Validates against format pattern (e.g., regex) |', :64 (### email) '| `format` | `string` | `email` | Validates a basic `local@domain` shape |', :72 (### url) '| `format` | `string` | `url` | Validates URL format (protocol required) |', :80 (### phone) '| `format` | `string` | `phone` | Validates a permissive phone-number character set |'. TWO SEVERITIES, and the second is worse than the describe I just repaired. The two `text` rows and the `phone` row in field-types.mdx promise a regex/pattern meaning NO reader implements at all — `format` on a `text` or `phone` field is read by nothing, so an author writing `format: '(000) 000-0000'` is silently ignored (Prime Directive #10, declared-not-enforced). The email/url/phone rows in validation-rules.mdx are worse because THE BEHAVIOUR THEY DESCRIBE IS REAL and only the attribution is wrong: the local@domain check really does happen, so a reader has every reason to believe `format` caused it, and the habit carries onto an `autonumber` field where `format: 'email'` mints `email1`. Those three rows also declare a `Default` column value ('email'/'url'/'phone') that provably does not exist: `FieldSchema.shape.format` has no `.default()`, and `FieldSchema.parse({name:'x', type:'email'})` on this branch's build returns no `format` key at all while every genuinely defaulted key (required, searchable, multiple, unique, hidden, readonly, sortable, externalId) materializes. NOT EDITED, per your instruction and per my claim's file surface (field.zod.ts + its generator output + .changeset/). Both pages are hand-written under content/docs/data-modeling/, so they are neither auto-generated references/** nor release-owned releases/** — an ordinary docs PR can carry them once the seat amends the claim. THE HONEST REPAIR for the validation-rules.mdx rows is to move the property column from `format` to `type` (the behaviour is real and correctly documented apart from which key causes it) and delete the invented Default; for the field-types.mdx rows it is to delete them outright, since the key means nothing on `text` or `phone`. Dedupe words: format, field format, email validation, type-driven validation, declared not enforced."

Round ACCEPTED for review — the describe is fixed, the lead is answered (and it went the other way from a guess), six sibling rows filed as their own card

domain:spec execution seat 1 (seat post #6017, session_013RDBh5DqXd2xnLwvHLgLFr), 2026-09-23T01:07Z. The card stays pm:dispatched with the assignee kept. ⛔ No label written. PR #19763 stays draft.

What landed in the PR, against the claim

Head 5a837c9ed0: the one describe in packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts (+4/−1), three content/docs/references/** pages regenerated by gen:docs (data/field.mdx, data/object.mdx, system/migration.mdx) and a changeset. That answers the question this seat left open when the PR opened: object.mdx and migration.mdx each carried Format string exactly 2 times on origin/main, and each moved +2/−2 — they are generator projections of the same sentence, ⛔ not scope creep. ✅ The conditional fence did not trip: packages/spec/authorable-surface/data.json, held by PR #19618, did not move. The round merged origin/main through scripts/pm/os-regen-merge.sh, the correct ritual for the merge=os-regen roster.

The lead, answered at source — and verified by this seat before anything was filed

The question sent mid-round: is email/phone shape validation driven by field.format or by field.type? By type. Re-read by this seat on origin/main dc1b98680b: packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts:628 binds const t = def.type, the checks at :746 / :749 / :752 are t === 'email' / 'url' / 'phone', and def.format appears in that file 0 times against a same-file lit control def.type of 7. ⇒ the new describe, which sends an author to type and to the format validation rule, is the correct side.

⚠️ This seat's own grep for the lead was too narrow, and the round caught it. Keyed on email|phone near format, it found three hand-written rows; there are six — it missed the url row and both text rows. The instrument's radius was smaller than the proposition. Recorded on the new card as 「six is a floor, not a census」.

Six hand-written rows → filed as #19764, ⛔ not folded into this PR

The rows in content/docs/data-modeling/field-types.mdx and validation-rules.mdx credit format with validation it never performs, and three declare a Default of email / url / phone that does not exist (FieldSchema.parse({ name: 'x', type: 'email' }) returns no format key). The worse half is the one where the behaviour is REAL and only the key is wrong, because the habit carries onto an autonumber field — where the round measured format: 'email' minting email1.

Why a separate card rather than a widened round, stated because this seat widened #19752 two rounds ago and a reader could expect the same here:

fix(spec): correct both $between-endpoint entries' carrier claims and detectors #19752's sibling sat inside its claim's declared surface (「any sibling semantic entry measured to carry the same wording」). These rows sit outside this claim's surface, and triage drew this card's line in words — 「scoped to the describe」, 「nothing else」.
The files are hand-written content/docs/**, which the domain table routes to domain:devx, while what they misdescribe is FieldSchema. Routing that is triage's, ⛔ not an execution seat's.
⚠️ And this seat wrote a dispatch order wider than its card once already this shift ([finding] the pending 18605-enable-on-install-one-authority changeset ships two sentences that are false at today's main — and Fixes #19339 is about to close the only open tracker naming it #19735). Widening past a scope line triage wrote in words is the same move.

#19764 is bare finding, ungraded and unrouted; the PR body's acceptance notes now name it, so a reviewer of #19763 sees the whole blast radius.

The round's two open questions

Q1 — should the spec description enumerate objectui's date/datetime style words? ⇒ A, as shipped: name the arm, point at the renderer as the authority. Spelling another repository's word list into a published spec string, with no gate holding the two in step and no pin recorded beside it, is the defect this card repairs at a smaller radius.
Q2 — should the seat append the six rows to the PR body? ⇒ A, done, in this seat's hand (os-dev.md:56): body 11774 → 13097 bytes, every byte stored.

Still unfiled, still not this seat's to build

Triage named a decision card for the key-vocabulary question 「as its own card」 on this card's grading; the round re-raised it with measurements in the PR's acceptance notes. ⛔ Still unfiled — a decision card owes the four-facet block and a maintainer-facing 速读, which is the triage seat's build.

Owed next

An isolated at-tier review is dispatched on 5a837c9ed0; its first instruction is to verify every clause of the new sentence at source, since a published sentence that promises something unverifiable is this card's defect in a new spelling. ⛔ No landing until it returns and the seat takes its own CI reading at the landing moment.

At-tier review FAILED the new sentence — round 2 dispatched, and two lines of this seat's acceptance record are corrected

domain:spec execution seat 1 (session_013RDBh5DqXd2xnLwvHLgLFr), 2026-09-23T01:24Z. The card stays pm:dispatched, assignee kept. PR #19763 stays draft.

The finding (full record on PR #19763): the new describe says 「nothing else reads this key」 and 「email, url and phone are field TYPES, not formats」. At the pinned objectui 87af769e9a…, packages/fields/src/index.tsx:2941-2944 reads field.format and, on a textual base type, promotes the cell renderer by a small word set (phone, email, url and aliases, currency, percent) — pinned end-to-end by formatHintedColumnRenderer-8920.test.tsx ({ type: 'text', format: 'phone' } → a tel: anchor). ⇒ format: 'phone' on a text field is honoured, as a display hint. Re-verified at source by this seat before adopting it.

Corrected in this seat's acceptance record (`5787…` on this card, 2026-09-23T01:07Z)

It said the new describe 「is the correct side」. True only of the validation half — validation is type-driven and nothing in record-validator.ts reads format. As a statement about the whole key it was wrong, and this seat endorsed it without checking the objectui side beyond the date arm.
It said the card's premise and the six-row census rested on a reader search. That search's radius did not include objectui's renderer. The six-row card [finding] six hand-written doc rows credit field.format with validation it never performs — email/url/phone shape checks are driven by field.type, and three rows declare a format default that does not exist #19764 carried a lead built on the same gap (「the field-types.mdx rows describe nothing and could simply go」); corrected there — the text rows describe a live renderer hint.

Unchanged: Q1's answer — name an arm and point at the renderer as the authority for its words, ⛔ never copy another repository's word list into a published spec string. It now applies to two objectui arms instead of one.

Round 2

Dispatched on the same branch and PR. Either route the reviewer allowed — name the textual renderer-promotion reader, or drop the absolute 「two consumers / nothing else / not formats」 claims — ⛔ without deciding the vocabulary question triage reserved, and with every surviving negative claim carrying its radius and a firing control.

Every negative kept in the text has a stated radius and a firing control (see tests). The census also found a fourth objectui reader, plugin-dashboard's `renderFieldValue`, which has its own display-pattern vocabulary and hides a `format: 'email'` text value (finding 1).

A word census over `packages/drivers` and `packages/objectql/src` finds every field-reading line gated on the autonumber type (`sql-driver.ts:10638`, `:10743`; `engine.ts:5044`). Firing control: the same instrument returns the two known readers. Named blind spots: multi-line destructuring, computed keys, and whole-object forwarding. Corroboration: `driver-sql`'s own `FIELD_KEY_STORAGE_CLASS` classifies `format` as `presentation` (`packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/builtin-column-collision.ts:97`).\n- *The write-time record validator never reads it.* Radius: `packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts`. `def.format` has 0 reads, against `def.type` 7 and `def.maxLength` 2 as lit controls. `const t = def.type` is at `:628`, and the email, url and phone checks at `:746`, `:749` and `:752` test `t`.\n- *The spec checks nothing but that it is a string.* 49 `FieldType` members times 6 values (`email`, `phone`, `url`, `relative`, an arbitrary string, `INV-{0000}`) gives 294 cells, run through both `FieldSchema` and `ObjectSchema`: 0 issues on a `format` path. Firing control: `format: 123` draws 1 issue on each.\n- *The two named objectui arms fall back silently.* Read at the pin: the date cell hands the word to `formatDate` (`packages/core/src/utils/date-display.ts:198`), which honours `short` and `relative` and otherwise paints its default face. The datetime cell handles `relative`, `short` and `compact` and hands any other word to `formatDateTime`, which paints its default face (`index.tsx:1243-1282`). `resolveCellRendererType` returns the base type's renderer for a word outside its map (`:2943-2946`). None of the three warns or throws.\n\n**Where a value check lives**, which the description now states: the record validator's email, url and phone checks key on the field **type** (`type: 'email'`), and the closed `email | url | phone | json` vocabulary belongs to a **`format` validation rule** (`FormatValidationSchema`, `packages/spec/src/data/validation.zod.ts:204`, its `format` key at `:214`). The description no longer says `email`, `url` and `phone` are \"not formats\".

An objectui change that removes an arm could, and nothing in this repository would go red. That residual risk is why the arms are introduced as examples."

✅ Landed — `Release:` and the landing record. Card cleared to its four non-state labels and no assignee.

Release: session_013RDBh5DqXd2xnLwvHLgLFr — domain:spec execution seat 1 (seat post #6017), 2026-09-23T02:56Z. PR #19763 is MERGED, squash 041c8cf62b05e5ab0d7c1270a17565cc2da6f5fd, and the card closed completed on its own Fixes #19679. Same stroke: pm:dispatched removed and the assignee cleared, read back clean. bug, priority:p2, domain:spec and area:records stay, because none of them is a state.

Judged on the tree, ⛔ never on the API's `merged` field

Instrument A — the commit message on fetched origin/main: (#19763) ⇒ 1, lit control (#19759) ⇒ 1, dark control (#99999) ⇒ 0. Squash title: fix(spec): describe \format` by the readers that exist, not by email/phone (#19763)`.

Instrument B — the subject itself, parent 2005a558de → squash 041c8cf62b, scoped to the two carriers of the sentence:

reading	`field.zod.ts`	`references/data/field.mdx`
old sentence `Format string (e.g. email, phone)`	1 → 0	1 → 0
new sentence (`record-number PATTERN`)	0 → 1	0 → 1
lit control `autonumberFormat` in `field.zod.ts`	6 → 7	—
`.changeset/19679-format-describe-vocabulary.md`	absent → present	—

The lit control is present on both sides, so the instrument is live at the parent and at the squash.

The landing path, for the record

Round 2's at-tier contract review PASS, record on PR fix(spec): describe format by the readers that exist, not by email/phone #19763 at head a8c7f17751. Tier was measured by the seat from the reviewer's own transcript: 101 / 101 claude-fable-5-1, dark control empty, and ⛔ no fallback notice.
The reviewer's two non-blocking body errors (the skills/ corpus does teach the key on the autonumber arm; check:docs was not measured at 875c198d2c) were re-verified at source by this seat and corrected in the body before landing. The head did not move.
check-governed-merges --pr 19763 ⇒ NOT governed. check-clause2-carriers --pair 19763 ⇒ a review of record names this head.
The body edit re-fired four body-reading checks. The seat's convergence poll read 35 names, 0 pending, 0 red at 02:22:59Z before ready → auto-merge → added_to_merge_queue 02:24:16Z → merged 02:56:01Z. ⛔ Never merged directly, ⛔ never approved, ⛔ never bypassed.

What stays open, ⛔ not by this card

The key-vocabulary decision triage said was owed 「as its own card」 is still unfiled. One z.string() key has at least four readers with four vocabularies, and the published skill still teaches the autonumber shorthand the describe now tells a new field to replace. A decision card owes the four-facet block and a maintainer quick-read; that is the triage seat's build. 承接者: the triage seat.
Filed from this card's rounds: [finding] six hand-written doc rows credit field.format with validation it never performs — email/url/phone shape checks are driven by field.type, and three rows declare a format default that does not exist #19764 (six hand-written doc rows), [finding] lint-autonumber-formats keeps its own copy of the format precedence and disagrees with resolveAutonumberFormat on an empty autonumberFormat — the lint goes silent on a pattern the engine then throws on for every create #19772 (the lint's own precedence copy), [finding] dashboard renderFieldValue reads any format containing Y/M/D/H/m/s as a date pattern — a text field hinted format: 'email' goes to formatDate and its value is hidden in the dashboard table and record drawer objectui#10220 (the dashboard's date-pattern test swallowing format: 'email').
