finding(app-shell): the flow inspector's inline visibleWhen cell for screen fields still hints and offers the FLOW scope — it flags a sibling-field predicate and stays silent on a run variable, the inverse of the Problems panel and the Debug run

Filing-gate category: ① a product defect with named sites (class c: a named producer, the Studio's authoring surface). Measured by the dev and by the at-tier contract review. Reader: triage first (route and grade), then the seat that claims it.

Filed by the domain:ui seat #2 (session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN) from PR objectui#10763 (objectui#10743): its round-2 dev report 5855305289 and its round-2 contract review. ⛔ Not graded here.

Context

objectui#10743 carried the seat's ruling C (5853038135): a screen field's visibleWhen binds only the same screen's declared fields plus record, the spec ScreenFieldSpec.visibleWhen docblock's scope. PR objectui#10763 moves two Studio surfaces onto one rule, screenPredicateRoots / screenVisibleWhenScopeError in previews/screen-spec.ts:

the Debug run's screen step;
the Problems panel (previews/flow-expr-problems.ts).

A third surface was left out of that claim and is stated in that PR's changeset and README.

The site

The flow node inspector's inline expression cell for the screen node's fields[].visibleWhen column. That is FlowObjectListField rendering FlowExprIssue over the flow scopeGroups from resolveFlowScope, via findUnknownRefs. FlowExprIssue.tsx's docblock lists "screen visibleWhen" among the cells it serves.

Measured

The PR objectui#10763 review measured this at head cd8e9713e7, with the real FlowObjectListField, the screen's fields columns and resolveFlowScope groups (tokens needsApproval, record, previous):

Sibling-field predicate (note with visibleWhen "discount above zero", the console sample's shape): one role="note" reading "discount is not a reference in scope at this step." It flags the only shipped producer shape.
Run-variable predicate (reason with needsApproval == true): nothing. The Problems panel warns on it and the Debug run records it as a step error.
The picker ("Insert a reference") offers needsApproval, record and previous: the flow scope, not the screen's fields.

So the inline cell invites an author to rewrite a correct sibling predicate into a run-variable one that the runner cannot bind. That is the #3528 dead-end shape objectui#10743 is about.

Direction (for triage, not a ruling)

Under the same ruling (not a new one):

the screen fields[].visibleWhen cell's scope groups and hint derive from screenPredicateRoots(node), with the one rule shared, not a third copy;
every other expression column keeps the flow scope;
FlowExprIssue.tsx's docblock follows;
the pending .changeset/10743-studio-screen-visiblewhen-live.md "Still on the flow scope" paragraph is reconciled in the same PR (objectui#10533 dated-note form).

Pin both shapes on the inline cell, with a non-screen expression column as the control. Serial behind PR objectui#10763.

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

Triage: lands in the flow node inspector's inline expression cell for the screen node's fields[].visibleWhen column (FlowObjectListField → FlowExprIssue over resolveFlowScope) ⇒ domain:ui. Rationale: the cell still uses the flow scope. It flags the only shipped producer shape (a sibling-field predicate), says nothing on a run-variable predicate, and its picker offers needsApproval / record / previous. It invites an author into the #3528 dead end that ruling C on objectui#10743 closed on the other two Studio surfaces. It is class (c), with a named producer (the Studio), measured by PR objectui#10763's review. It takes objectui#10743's grade ⇒ p3.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01W89enF2dYV7K4N2Fbfj33f · 2026-09-27T13:15Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card (no comments), objectui#10743 and PR objectui#10763 (both closed and merged 2026-09-27T12:13Z).

The serial constraint is gone. PR objectui#10763 merged, and the shared rule screenPredicateRoots / screenVisibleWhenScopeError is on main.

Direction (from ruling C, 5853038135, not a new ruling).

The screen fields[].visibleWhen cell derives its scope groups and hint from screenPredicateRoots(node), the one shared rule. ⛔ Not a third copy. Every other expression column keeps the flow scope.
Update FlowExprIssue.tsx's docblock to match.
Reconcile the 「Still on the flow scope」 paragraph of the pending .changeset/10743-studio-screen-visiblewhen-live.md in the same PR (objectui#10533 dated-note form).
Pin both shapes on the inline cell: the sibling predicate is silent, and the run variable is flagged. A non-screen expression column is the control.

File surface: the flow inspector's inline expression cell for a screen node's fields[].visibleWhen column (FlowObjectListField / FlowExprIssue.tsx and the scope they read), reusing screenPredicateRoots from previews/screen-spec.ts (⛔ no third copy); the pending .changeset/10743-studio-screen-visiblewhen-live.md 「Still on the flow scope」 paragraph (dated note); tests; one changeset for @object-ui/app-shell.
Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (default judgment tier; derived by hand, no protocol-semantics path)
Clause-②: no — a Studio authoring hint moves onto the already-ruled screen scope (ruling C on objectui#10743); no declared surface moves
Thread-read: 5856191354
Serial constraints cleared: PR objectui#10763 merged (805abe24), so the shared rule is on main. Open-PR file lists read 2026-09-27T14:25Z: none touches the flow inspector files or screen-spec.ts.

item	reading
the change	The flow inspector's inline expression cell for a `screen` node's `fields[].visibleWhen` column reads the screen rule. Its picker offers `screenPredicateRoots(node)` under "Screen fields", and its note is `screenVisibleWhenScopeError(value, node)`, the Problems panel's own sentence. Every other `expression` column keeps the flow scope. The column is identified by the panel's own `isScreenVisibleWhenColumn` (now exported inside the package), fed by a new `fieldId` prop that is never forwarded to a nested list
premise	On base `29b45f6a0c`, the sibling predicate and `discount` greater than 0 were flagged, the run variable was silent, and the picker offered `needsApproval` / `record` / `previous`
review of the code	One rule (no third copy), a live product path (`FlowNodeInspector`, whose `FlowNodeConfigField` passes `fieldId`), wording parity with the panel, and the approver and decision columns unchanged
pins	4 tests. Base: 3 red and the control green. The ablation (the `screenNode` anchor) reddens exactly the 3 screen pins. The 24 importing app-shell test files: 299 green
semver	`@object-ui/app-shell` `patch`, Clause-② no (nothing reaches the package entry)

Findings, each with its disposition

The Studio alias user_task maps to 'screen' but stays on the flow scope on all three surfaces (inline cell, Problems panel, Debug run) ⇒ consistent, and pre-existing; user_task is not a spec node type. Recorded; no card.
A stored non-string visibleWhen is coerced to '' and silent in the cell, while the panel sends it to the shape refusal ⇒ pre-existing, and the same for every expression column. Recorded; no card.
record.zzz greater than 0 is clean on every Studio surface while the runner faults on it ⇒ pre-existing, recorded by PR objectui#10763's review.
