+
+The percent EDIT WIDGET reads `scale` for its fraction width, not `precision`
+(objectui#9568).
+
+`PercentField` took `precision` as the decimal-place count for three things at
+once: the readonly face's `toFixed` width, the number input's `step` attribute
+and the slider's step. `@objectstack/spec` declares the pair on the field face
+in its own words — `precision` is "Total digits (non-negative integer)" and
+`scale` is "Decimal places (non-negative integer)" — so a percent field carrying
+an accurate `decimal(p, s)` pair was padded out to the column's TOTAL width. A
+`decimal(10, 2)` percent field rendered `25.0000000000%` readonly and offered
+`step="0.0000000001"` while editing, with a slider that moved in `1e-10`
+increments. The step half is not cosmetic: it makes the control unusable for the
+value it is declared to edit.
+
+This is the correction `NumberField` beside it already carried for its own step,
+and the one objectui#9295 made on the read-only cell, the grid summary footer
+and the record summary chip. The edit widget is the face that did not move.
+
+**Behaviour moves in two directions**, for percent fields that declare these
+members:
+
+- A percent field declaring `scale` now honours it, in all three places.
+  Declaring `scale: 0` previously rendered `25.00%` and stepped by `0.01`; it
+  now renders `25%` and steps by `1`.
+- A percent field declaring `precision` no longer pads to it. Declaring
+  `precision: 10` previously rendered `25.0000000000%` and stepped by `1e-10`;
+  it now falls to the widget's own two-decimal default.
+
+**Migration.** Restate the intended fraction width as `scale`, the member the
+contract has always declared for it. Metadata carrying an accurate
+`decimal(p, s)` pair — both members, as a database column exposes them — needs no
+change and simply stops being padded.
+
+**Unchanged: a percent field that declares neither member.** The absent-`scale`
+width stays this widget's own two decimals (`12.35%`, `step="0.01"`), so the
+repair is invisible to metadata that declares nothing, and the whole-percent
+convention this widget detects from a declared `max` above 1 is untouched.
+
+⚠️ That default is deliberate and it is NOT the cell's: `PercentCellRenderer`
+spells the same absence as zero fraction digits. The two faces therefore still
+disagree for a field that declares nothing — `12%` in a grid cell against
+`12.35%` in the editor — as they did before this change. objectui#9568 declines
+to make widget-versus-cell agreement a premise, and closing that gap needs its
+own ruling rather than arriving as a side effect of moving the member that is
+read.
+
+`CurrencyField`'s own read of `precision` is untouched and is not the same
+shape: there the competing source is the currency's ISO 4217 minor-unit count,
+and objectui#4361 ruled an authored `precision` wins over that. It ruled nothing
+about `scale`. `CurrencyConfigSchema.precision` is a third surface again, with
+the opposite convention and its own `scale` alias, and the spec warns against
+conflating it with the field face.

+ * objectui#9568 — the percent EDIT WIDGET read `precision` as a fraction
+ * width, so a `decimal(10, 2)` percent field showed `25.0000000000%` and
+ * stepped by `1e-10`.
+ *
+ * `@objectstack/spec` declares the pair on the field face in its own words —
+ * `precision` is "Total digits (non-negative integer)" and `scale` is "Decimal
+ * places (non-negative integer)" — so the member a decimal-place width comes

+ * correction for its step, and objectui#9295 made it on the read-only cell,
+ * the grid summary footer and the detail summary chip. This widget is the face
+ * that did not move, and the one the user TYPES into.
+ *
+ * ── Why the assertions are on the rendered control ──────────────────────
+ * The defect is what the user sees and what the spinner offers, so every row
+ * below goes through the component and reads the DOM it produced: the readonly
+ * span's text, and the `step` attribute the browser's spinner and keyboard
+ * affordances obey. The slider's step is not a DOM attribute, so it is driven
+ * instead — one keyboard increment, whose emitted value IS the step.
+ *
+ * ── What fails before the repair ────────────────────────────────────────
+ * Every `scale`-declaring row. `{ precision: 10, scale: 2 }` rendered
+ * `25.0000000000%` readonly, `step="0.0000000001"` editable, and a slider
+ * increment of `1e-10`; `{ scale: 0 }` was ignored outright because
+ * `precision` was absent, so the width fell to the widget's own 2.
+ *
+ * ── The ABSENT-`scale` case is a DECISION, not a leftover ───────────────
+ * It keeps this widget's own 2 (`12.35%`, `step="0.01"`), so the repair is
+ * invisible to a percent field that declares neither member — pinned below as
+ * a MUST-NOT-CHANGE control. ⚠️ `PercentCellRenderer` spells the same absence
+ * `0` and pins that, so the two faces still disagree when nothing is declared.
+ * objectui#9568 declines to make widget-versus-cell agreement a premise; this
+ * change neither widens nor closes that disagreement.
