finding(react): the published InlineEditContextValue.draft JSDoc prescribes draft[name] ?? data[name], which reads the SAVED value for a field the user emptied #10466

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing-gate category: ① a defect with a named site and a measured consequence (class a). The site is a published type's documentation, and there is no in-tree victim today. Reader: triage first (route and grade), then the seat that claims it. The site is packages/react/src/context/InlineEditContext.tsx, the draft member's JSDoc on the exported InlineEditContextValue.

Filed by the domain:ui execution seat (seat 1, session session_01BA3nKVUwKQJf8DBxrSVtNC) from the os-dev-report of objectui#10291 (PR objectui#10464). ⛔ Not graded and not routed: domain:*, priority:* and type are the triage seat's.

Fact (read on origin/main at e6203d756)

The JSDoc reads: "Draft of user-edited values. Holds ONLY the keys the user actually changed … Read a field's live value as draft[name] ?? data[name]."

?? falls through on null and undefined. A field the user (or a cascade clear) emptied is staged as an OWN draft key whose value is empty. The prescribed read then returns the SAVED value: the host shows, and hands its widgets, a value the user just removed. After PR objectui#10464 a cascade-cleared single select or radio stages null, so this is exactly the value that falls through.

The measured consequence (relayed, ⛔ not re-run by the seat)

objectui#7190's prune probe measured this read rule on the record page's highlights strip at cfd1f8c5. An option widget pruned an inadmissible value, the host handed it the saved value again, and it pruned again on every render: an endless loop. The strip was fixed by reading an own draft key even when its value is empty. The strip's own comment says so ("An OWN draft key wins even when its value is undefined"), which contradicts the JSDoc. DetailView and HeaderHighlight both read with the spread, so nothing in-tree follows the JSDoc today. The trap is for a host author who copies the published doc.

Grading notes (for triage, not a grade)

  • The shape of the fix is the JSDoc sentence only: an own key wins even when empty (name in draft ? draft[name] : data[name], or the spread { ...data, ...draft }[name]). ⛔ No runtime change.
  • @object-ui/react is published, so the doc ships in dist typings.

Dedupe

REST page walk over the 1000 most recently updated objectui items (oldest updated_at 2026-09-18). InlineEditContext ⇒ 0. draft[name] ?? data ⇒ 0. useInlineEdit near draft or saved value ⇒ 0. Must-hit control InlineEdit ⇒ 6 hits.

Dedupe words: InlineEditContext draft ?? data live value · useInlineEdit emptied field saved value fallback · draft own key undefined null prune loop

    Triage: first grade — bug · documentation · priority:p3 · domain:ui · area:records · pm:queue (finding removed — graded)

    Triage: lands in packages/react/src/context/InlineEditContext.tsx (the draft[name] ?? data[name] sentence on objectui origin/main d999617) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: the published JSDoc of InlineEditContextValue.draft prescribes a read that returns the saved value for a field the user emptied (measured as an endless prune loop on the highlights strip). It ships in dist typings, so a host author, or an AI, copies it; no in-tree victim today ⇒ p3.

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01CRZSc7dU8oDStbTbSwhuZe · 2026-09-25T06:38Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card and its full thread, and objectui origin/main d999617. Dedupe by this seat over 739 objectui cards (open, plus closed since 2026-09-18): InlineEditContext → 1 hit (this card).

    Execution note: the JSDoc sentence only (an own key wins even when empty); ⛔ no runtime change.

    Seat: domain:ui#1
    File surface: packages/react/src/context/InlineEditContext.tsx (the InlineEditContextValue.draft JSDoc sentence ONLY), a pin under packages/react/src/ if the repo's convention pins published doc text, and one .changeset/10466-…md (stop on breach; explain in the report)
    Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (default judgement tier) — priority:p3: a published JSDoc that prescribes a read returning the saved value for a field the user emptied
    Clause-②: no
    Thread-read: 5828062686
    Serial constraints cleared: open-PR file lists read 2026-09-25T07:26Z ⇒ none names InlineEditContext.tsx; no live pm:dispatched claim names it.

    Scope

    The triage (5828062686): 「the JSDoc sentence only (an own key wins even when empty); ⛔ no runtime change.」

    • The sentence prescribes the read that the in-tree hosts already use for an emptied field: an OWN draft key wins even when its value is empty (null, undefined, ''), and data[name] is read only when the key is absent. ⛔ It does not name ??.
    • ⛔ No runtime change, and no new exported helper unless one already exists to point at.

    ⇒ Fixes #10466.

I measured the in-tree readers of the inline-edit draft first. DetailView hands every section { ...data, ...editedValues } (DetailSection reads that merged data and takes only fieldErrors from the session), and HeaderHighlight reads stagedRecord = { ...data, ...draft }. The two agree on the spread; none uses an own-key test (in draft, hasOwnProperty, Object.hasOwn), no exported helper does the merge, and the form hosts never call useInlineEdit(). So only the JSDoc sentence changed: it now names the staged-record spread, says an own draft key wins even when its value is empty (null, undefined, '') and data[name] is read only when the key is absent, and does not name ??; no runtime change and no new export. This package already pins prescriptive doc text by reading the source (LazyPluginLoader.jsdocExample, useNavigationOverlay.docExampleRecordSource-7638), so I added one loose source-text pin over the comment's code spans (packages/react/src/context/__tests__/InlineEditContext.draftReadRule-10466.test.ts) and a patch changeset for @object-ui/react. Housekeeping: claim 5828676164 confirmed (branch matched; Clause-②: no copied to PR line 2). Assignee os-bill is the PM's and I left it alone.

(3) Closure build: pnpm --workspace-concurrency=2 --filter '@object-ui/react^...' build (types, core, data-objectstack, i18n) gave command-exit 0. Then pnpm --filter @object-ui/react type-check (echoed tsc --noEmit && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json) gave command-exit 0; the test project's --listFiles includes the pin (1 of 96 test files). (4) Gates, all exit 0: check:control-bytes (OK, 8602 tracked text files); check:new-line-citations (0 new citation(s)); check-changeset-presence (2 source files of 1 released package, 1 changeset declared); check:changeset-claims (nothing flagged: the born-false reading found 0 line addresses, the self-contradiction reading was clean, and no pending changeset names a touched file); check:pending-changeset-literals; check-changeset-no-major, -fixed and -overwrite; check:test-path-roots; check-type-check-coverage; check:spec-symbols; check:shell-escape-residue. I derived this list by hand from package.json and .github/workflows, because dispatch-gates.mjs is objectstack-only; the workflow enumeration matched origin/main's ls-tree (41 = 41). (5) eslint --no-inline-config, narrowed to the touched files, with all three pieces of evidence: the population comes from eslint itself (the changeset .md reads 'File ignored because no matching configuration was supplied'); the --format json count is 2 files, 0 errors and 5 warnings, and the same file at BASE gives the same 5 (no-explicit-any x4, react-refresh/only-export-components x1), so none is new; eslint.config.js enables no type-aware linting (no projectService, parserOptions or TypeChecked preset; typescript-eslint appears 9 times as a control), so this diff cannot move a verdict in an untouched file. Repo-wide pnpm lint is left to CI. Ablation, run after the fix was committed at a0bef54: ablation-replace.mjs in wrap mode, with a bash trap as a backstop that restores via git checkout HEAD -- on the absolute path. The mutation turned the new doc lines back into the old sentence, and I checked first that it rebuilds the BASE file byte for byte. On disk: the anchor went from x1 to x0 and the replacement from x0 to x1, the blob from 8457b8281762 to 0239d8089256, and by grep the spread spans went 1 to 0 and the fallback spans 0 to 1. I predicted red; the run gave Tests 2 failed | 3 passed (5): the two assertions on the real comment failed and the three controls stayed green. Restore: the blob equals HEAD's (8457b8281762) and git diff HEAD is 0 bytes. No dist sits in the path (the pin reads the .tsx source). CI at one read: 42 check runs (total_count 42 equals returned), 20 success, 3 skipped, 19 in_progress, 0 failure, so CI is in_progress and I did not wait for it.",

    ✅ ACCEPT — PR objectui#10543 at a0bef54ea · entering the merge queue once CI is green

    domain:ui seat #1, session_01BA3nKVUwKQJf8DBxrSVtNC. The seat read the dev report and the diff against the triage 5828062686 and the claim 5828676164. No review-tier record is owed, because Clause-②: no holds: one JSDoc sentence on a published type, with no runtime change.

    the premise, measured The JSDoc ended "Read a field's live value as draft[name] ?? data[name]", word for word on origin/main
    the host reading Measured before writing, as the claim asked. DetailView hands every section { ...data, ...editedValues }, and HeaderHighlight reads { ...data, ...draft }. Both are spreads and they agree. No host uses an own-key test, no exported helper exists, and the form hosts never call useInlineEdit(). The seat re-read the DetailView spreads on main

    pin This package already pins prescriptive doc text by reading the source (LazyPluginLoader.jsdocExample, useNavigationOverlay.docExampleRecordSource-7638), so the new source-text pin follows an existing convention. Ablation: the old sentence restored byte for byte gives 2 red / 3 green. Restored by blob 8457b8281762
    tests + gates packages/react/ 96 files / 1303 tests passed. Type-check passes after the closure build. eslint matches base (5 warnings, 0 errors). Control bytes, new line citations, changeset presence / claims / no-major and pending-changeset literals exit 0. Changeset: patch on @object-ui/react (the comment ships in dist typings)
