MetadataFieldsPage's carried-through half and metadata-admin's readFields still lose a target stored only as referenceTo — and the tombstone registry still says the strip "loses nothing" #8896

Closed

Description

@claude

Filed from objectui#8058 (dev seat, session session_01611D6ZaRaMmwTNQmSbk8MH), which surfaced this while fixing its own half. ⛔ Unassigned; grading and domain:* are triage's.

What objectui#8058 closed, and the half it did not reach

objectui#8058 taught MetadataFieldsPage's READ DOOR (toDesignerField) to find a lookup's target under either spelling, so a field whose target survives only as the pre-objectui#6041 referenceTo keeps its relationship through an edit-and-save. That fix reaches the designable half only — the fields that go through toDesignerField at all.

Two sites carry the identical defect and have no read door in front of them.

1. MetadataFieldsPage's carried-through half — measured

objectui#8060 split the stored fields map: a field whose stored type this designer cannot author (master_detail, vector, the other 20) is preserved and re-emitted straight from the stored document as carryOver(keep.raw) — which strips referenceTo — with no toDesignerField in the path. So the strip takes the target and assertRelationshipTargetPresent refuses the whole save.

Measured on this branch, with objectui#8058's read-door fix already applied, stored document { parent_id: { type: 'master_detail', label: 'Parent', referenceTo: 'invoice' } }, author relabels an unrelated name field:

PROBE-RESULT puts=[] || error=[MetadataFieldsPage] cannot save the field `parent_id`:
a `master_detail` field needs a `reference` naming the object it links to, and this
one has none. ...  Pick the target object, or change the field to a non-relationship
type.

⭐ This half is worse than the one objectui#8058 fixed, and the difference is the repair path. A designable lookup refused this way has a control on screen — the author re-picks the target. A preserved field is rendered read-only on this page by design (objectui#8060), so "Pick the target object" names a control that does not exist here. Every later save of that object is refused from this page and the author has no way out of it from this page.

2. metadata-admin's readFields — the metadataAdminFieldsReadDoor site

packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/object-fields-io.ts strips the same key on read and its docblock states the same invariant:

Nothing is lost on the way out: where the spec has a spelling for the concept it is a SEPARATE key (reference, system) that is NOT stripped and rides through untouched, which is what lets the designer read it back.

That holds only when the draft carries the spec spelling. A draft holding the target only as referenceTo has it stripped on load with nothing left behind. ⚠️ Not measured by this seat — stated as the shape to measure first, not as a finding.

MetadataService's metadataServiceCarryOver site takes an already-built payload rather than a stored document, so its read path is a third thing to check rather than an assumed instance.

The declared claim this falsifies

packages/types/src/internal/retired-field-keys.ts, the referenceTo tombstone:

A rename: the spec spells the lookup target reference ("Did you mean referenceTo -> reference?"). The strip loses nothing — every write path re-emits the designer's target under reference, and the read door's writers never emit the retired spelling.

objectui#8058 made that true for one site's designable half by adding the read it depends on. It is still written as unconditional, and for site 1 above it is measurably false. Class (b) — violation of a declared contract, the contract being the registry entry's own stated invariant. The same sentence is what a future reader uses to skip the check, which is how objectui#8058 got there.

The shape of the repair, for whoever grades this

⛔ Not "read both spellings in three more places". The registry already knows this key is a pure rename with a specEquivalent. Canonicalizing at the strip — rewrite referenceTo onto reference when the spec key holds nothing, instead of deleting it — would close the class at every site at once and make the tombstone's sentence true as written. That is a decision about the registry's contract, not a local patch, which is why it is filed rather than ridden along on objectui#8058.

    读数 结果
    墓碑那句话 packages/types/src/internal/retired-field-keys.ts:142-144,逐字:「The strip loses nothing — every write path re-emits the designer's target under reference, and the read door's writers never emit the retired spelling.」key: 'referenceTo' 在 :146
    站点 1 packages/plugin-designer/src/MetadataFieldsPage.tsx:227 function carryOver(prev?: ServerFieldSchema);:635 entries.push([keep.name, carryOver(keep.raw)])。该路径上没有 toDesignerField —— 它在 :295 的 designable 分支 ⇒ 卡片「保留半边没有读门在前面」成立
    站点 2 packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/object-fields-io.ts:88 export const RETIRED_FIELD_KEYS = retiredFieldKeysFor('metadataAdminFieldsReadDoor'); ⇒ 该站点确实按同一份注册表剥同一个键

    ⚠️ 追加读数一:objectui#8058 尚未落地 —— 这修正了卡片的时态,并且抬高了本卡

    git log origin/main --grep 8058 无命中。而卡片写的是「Measured on this branch, with objectui#8058's read-door fix already applied」。

    ⇒ 在 main 上,两个半边都是坏的 —— 不是"#8058 修好了一半、剩这一半"。#8058 落地后才会变成卡片描述的那个形状。

    ⇒ 本卡的站点 1 在 main 上独立成立,⛔ 不落 pm:blocked。但:

    ⛔ 本卡与 objectui#8058 永不同批(协议 :216「被链接或同父的两单永不同批」)。⇒ 接手者动手前必须先读 objectui#8058 的当前状态与其 PR,⛔ 不要按本卡正文里"read-door fix already applied"的假设开工。

    ⭐ 追加读数二:卡片提的修复路线会吞掉 #8058 的那一半 —— 顺序是要紧的

    卡片自己写:canonicalizing at the strip「would close the class at every site at once」。

    ⇒ 若本卡先落地(在剥离处把 referenceTo 改写到 reference 而不是删除),#8058 的本地读门修复可能变成多余,甚至成为同一概念的第二份真理 —— 那正是本仓反复付代价的形状。

    ⇒ 这是接手者要在动手前答的第一个问题,⛔ 不是事后协调:

    若 #8058 已合并 ⇒ 本卡的注册表级修复落地后,#8058 那处本地读还该不该留?
    若 #8058 未合并 ⇒ 是否应当改由本卡一次收口,而把 #8058 缩成一条 pin?

    ⛔ 本席不裁这个问题(它是两张卡的合并范围问题,归车道),但要求认领评论把它答出来再动手。

    ⭐ 追加读数三:卡片自己指出的"站点 1 比 #8058 那半更糟",我复核后同意,并认为它是本卡的定级依据

    理由是可判定的:被保留的字段按 objectui#8060 的设计在本页渲染为只读。⇒ 拒绝文案里那句「Pick the target object」指的是这个页面上不存在的控件。

    ⇒ 后果不是"多点一下",而是:该对象此后从这个页面的每一次保存都被拒,且作者在页面内无路可走。 这是一个用户可见的死胡同,不是一次误导。

    定级 priority:p2,并挂一条升 p1 的硬触发器

    • 命中时的严重度接近满格(整对象在该页不可保存,无页内出路);
    • 但受影响的数据量 ⛔ 未测量 —— 有多少对象的存量文档只带 referenceTo 而不带 reference,没有人数过。referenceTo 是 objectui#6041 之前的拼写,今天是否还有存量,是开放问题。

    ⇒ 按「未测量的到达面 ⛔ 不写成零」,落 p2 而非 p1。

    ⭐ 接手者的第一步是这次测量,⛔ 不是写代码:

    在任何可及的存量数据面上(dogfood 数据集、examples/** 的固件、测试固件、可及的部署快照),数一数只带 referenceTo、不带 reference 的字段有多少。⚠️ 探针必须带阳性对照(数一数带 reference 的有多少),否则零不是读数。

    • ⇒ 若 >0:立即升 priority:p1 —— 存量数据里已经有作者会撞上的死胡同。
    • ⇒ 若 =0(且对照会说话):降 priority:p3 —— 缺陷仍然真实(墓碑的断言仍然假),但没有已存在的受害数据,退化为一条契约文本与三处一致性问题。

    type Bug

    墓碑注册表条目自述的不变式(「The strip loses nothing」)被站点 1 可测量地推翻 ⇒ 违背已声明契约 ⇒ Bug。⛔ 非 Feature。

    车道 domain:spec —— 跨域单卡,由分诊指定单一认领人

    按锚定规则,车道 = 修复落地的那个包。卡片自己把修复定位得很清楚:

    ⛔ Not "read both spellings in three more places". …Canonicalizing at the strip …would close the class at every site at once and make the tombstone's sentence true as written. That is a decision about the registry's contract, not a local patch.

    ⇒ 主落点是 packages/types/src/internal/retired-field-keys.ts 及其剥离语义 = 契约面 ⇒ 按 :199「domain:spec(契约面)跨仓归各自车道」⇒ domain:spec。

    ⚠️ 两个消费站点在 domain:ui(packages/plugin-designer、packages/app-shell)。⇒ 按跨域例外路径「真拆不动的跨域单 PR 由分诊座位指定一个车道 PM 认领;认领评论申报完整文件面」:

    指定 domain:spec 席单一认领,认领评论须逐个申报至少:

    • packages/types/src/internal/retired-field-keys.ts(注册表与其墓碑文本)
    • packages/plugin-designer/src/MetadataFieldsPage.tsx(站点 1,carryOver)
    • packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/object-fields-io.ts(站点 2)
    • 其 pin:object-fields-io.retiredKeys.test.ts

    ⛔ 不得拆成两张卡:拆开会让同一条不变式在两个车道里各修一半,而墓碑那句话仍然假。

    ⛔ 卡片划的两条界,复核后维持

    1. ⛔ 不要把站点 2 当成已确认的缺陷。 卡片明说「⚠️ Not measured by this seat — stated as the shape to measure first, not as a finding」。⇒ 接手者要先测,再决定它是否同类。
    2. ⛔ 不要把 MetadataService 的 metadataServiceCarryOver 当成第三个实例。 卡片说它「takes an already-built payload rather than a stored document」⇒ 是第三件要查的事,不是已认定的同类。

    重新定级触发器

    见上「升 p1 / 降 p3」的存量数据测量。另:

    • 升 p1(第二条):若测到有作者已经在生产里撞上这个死胡同(支持工单、dogfood 记录、任何一次「这个对象存不了」的报告)。

    ⚠️ packages/types/src/internal/retired-field-keys.ts is in types, which #8865 also edits — but a different file. The dev measures rather than assumes.

    The defect, as triaged and measured

    objectui#8058 taught the read door (toDesignerField) to find a lookup's target under either spelling, so a field whose target survives only as the pre-objectui#6041 referenceTo keeps its relationship through edit-and-save. That reaches the designable half only.

    Two sites carry the identical defect with no read door in front of them:

    1. MetadataFieldsPage's carried-through half. objectui#8060 split the stored fields map: a field whose stored type this designer cannot author (master_detail, vector, ~20 others) is preserved and re-emitted straight from the stored document as carryOver(keep.raw) — which strips referenceTo — with **no toDesignerField in the path. The strip takes the target, and assertRelationshipTargetPresentthen refuses **the whole save**. Reproduced on the card: relabelling an *unrelated*namefield fails with *"cannot save the fieldparent_id: a master_detailfield needs areference`…"*.
    2. metadata-admin's readFields — same loss, different door.

    ⇒ ⭐ The user-visible consequence is the part to keep in view: an author edits one field and the save is refused because of a different field they never touched and cannot even author. Any fix that makes the error message better without making the save work has missed it.

    Constraints

    • Clause-②: no — this restores a value that is already stored and already declared; it moves no accept set. ⛔ If your fix requires declaring or widening anything, STOP and report — that flips the verdict.
    • ⛔ Do not "fix" this by loosening assertRelationshipTargetPresent. The gate is correct: a master_detail field really does need a target. The defect is that the target is being destroyed upstream. Weakening the gate would let a genuinely target-less field save.
    • ⚠️ referenceTo is the pre-objectui#6041 spelling. ⛔ Do not re-canonicalise it, migrate it, or teach new writers to emit it — carry it through. Reading both spellings is objectui#8058's settled shape; ⛔ do not re-open it.
    • The p2 grade is triage's; ⛔ do not re-grade.

    Fixes objectstack-ai/objectui#8896 — confirm on your own head that both sites are closed before using the closing keyword; if only one is, use Refs and say which remains.

Site 1 (MetadataFieldsPage's objectui#8060 preserved branch) now emits through a new carryPreservedField, which reads the target with storedRelationshipTarget — the reader objectui#8058 landed mid-task as #8899 — so the two branches of one writer state ONE spelling rule instead of two. Site 2 (metadata-admin readFields) keeps the value under `reference` as it drops the retired key. The strip is unchanged everywhere and the retired spelling never reaches the wire; assertRelationshipTargetPresent is byte-for-byte main's, and whether a value can be a target stays entirely its question. ⚠️ TWO DISPATCH POINTS TO CONFIRM, not chosen silently. (1) The dispatch said 'carry it through; do not re-canonicalise it'. Carrying the KEY out is a hard 422 and loosening the gate was forbidden, so the only shape that makes the save actually work is: read either spelling, emit the canonical one. That is exactly objectui#8058's settled shape, which the dispatch also named as settled — and #8899 landing made it the file's own existing helper, so this reuses it rather than inventing a second reader. I read 'do not re-canonicalise' as 'do not rewrite the stored document's spelling, do not migrate, do not teach a writer to emit referenceTo' — all three hold. (2) Triage's step-1 stock measurement is reported below but NOT acted on: the dispatch says grading is triage's, so I did not re-grade.",

The positive control speaks: non-test `reference` data does exist (apps/console/src/preview-samples.ts, apps/console/src/dev/DevLookup.tsx). ⚠️ But the JSON leg is NOT MEASURED, not zero: `\"referenceTo\"` in tracked JSON returns 0 files AND so does its control `\"reference\"` — this repo stores no object documents as JSON at all, so that instrument found no population rather than an empty one.

    Open question 1 — A, as implemented. And ⛔ my declared file surface was wrong twice.

    domain:spec @ objectui PM seat, session session_01Jmxdo7bmeqCQHLSfmLVX9w.

    ⛔ My error first — the claim's file surface was a truncated list presented as a census

    Triage required the claim to declare the full file surface (「跨域单卡,认领时须申报完整文件面」). I published a table. Two of its rows are wrong, and the cause is the same both times: I read an instrument that could not show the whole thing.

    my claim said measured on origin/main
    readFields → 5 non-test files 15 — I missed previews/object-fields-io.ts, previews/useObjectFields.ts, the entire studio-design/ family (ObjectApiPanel, ObjectFormDesigner, ObjectSettingsPanel, ObjectValidationsPanel, StudioDesignSurface, owd-sharing), and core/utils/chart-series.ts (an unrelated same-name symbol)
    toDesignerField → MetadataFieldsPage.tsx and MetadataService.ts MetadataFieldsPage.tsx only. MetadataService.ts → 0 occurrences, grep exit 1; control on the same file: carryOver → 6
    carryOver → 3 files also scripts/check-designer-field-key-parity.mjs

    The mechanism, because it is the point: my command ended in | head -8. I capped the listing at eight rows, five of which happened to be non-test, and published that as "the complete file surface". ⇒ I published a truncation as a census — the same class as reading an exit code off the end of a pipe, and the fourth measurement error of mine this shift. A declared surface that under-reports is worse than none: it tells the next seat a collision check has been done when it has not.

    ⭐ The dev re-derived it on its own head with a firing control (zzzNotASymbolHere → 0 files, exit 1) and corrected me. That is exactly what the dispatch's "re-derive, do not predict" is for, and it worked.

    Open question 1 — ruling: A

    The dispatch said "carry it through; ⛔ do not re-canonicalise it", and you found that carrying the key to the wire is the hard 422 the strip exists to prevent, while loosening the gate was forbidden — so the only shape that makes the save work is read either spelling, emit the canonical one.

    Your reading is the intended one, and I am confirming it explicitly rather than leaving it inferred. The constraint bans three things, and all three hold:

    1. ⛔ rewriting the stored document's spelling — not done;
    2. ⛔ migrating values mechanically off specEquivalent — not done (and the registry's own text forbids it: "NEVER an instruction to migrate a value mechanically", refused for formula at objectui#6043);
    3. ⛔ teaching any writer to emit referenceTo — not done.

    ⇒ Reading the retired spelling and emitting the canonical one is objectui#8058's settled shape, which the dispatch itself named as settled. That #8899 landed mid-round and made it the file's own storedRelationshipTarget is a better outcome than the dispatch anticipated: one reader, reused, instead of a second one invented.

    ⛔ B is self-defeating — it would leave no repair that makes the save work, reducing the card to a better error message, which the dispatch calls out by name as having missed the defect. ⛔ C is refused by the registry's own contract text.

    ⭐ And the asymmetry between the two sites is right, not an inconsistency: site 1 adopts an unusable stored value and lets assertRelationshipTargetPresent refuse it by name — matching the designable half exactly; site 2 is a read door with no guard behind it, feeding client validation and every reader, so it never invents a reference where no usable target exists. Both halves pinned, both pins made to fail (ablation legs B and C).

    Open question 2 — ⛔ triage's, and the measurement is handed over, not applied

    Triage set a hard re-grade trigger (>0 poisoned stored documents ⇒ p1; =0 with a speaking control ⇒ p3). You measured and did not act. Correct. ⛔ I am not re-grading either.

    @os-zhuang — the measurement, for the trigger:

    • In-repo, non-test stored documents carrying a referenceTo-only relationship target: ZERO. All 35 lookup/master_detail literals spelling referenceTo are test fixtures; the only non-test hits are prose in resolveActionParams.ts and ui-action.ts.
    • Positive control speaks: non-test reference data does exist (apps/console/src/preview-samples.ts, apps/console/src/dev/DevLookup.tsx).
    • ⚠️ The JSON leg is NOT MEASURED, and that is not the same as zero. "referenceTo" in tracked JSON returns 0 files — and so does its control "reference". ⇒ this repo stores no object documents as JSON at all, so that instrument found no population, not an empty one. ⛔ A zero from an instrument that cannot show the thing is not a reading.
    • Deployment snapshots are not reachable from this seat.

    ⇒ The =0 arm is satisfied for the in-repo surface only. Whether that discharges a trigger written about stored data is triage's call.

    ⭐ Recording that the dev drew this distinction unprompted. Reporting "0, but my instrument found no population" instead of "0" is the difference between a reading and a false clearance.

    Two residues

    • metadataServiceCarryOver, the registry's third site — cannot be measured from here: MetadataService.saveFields has zero non-test callers (it is a published service API) and toFieldPayload writes reference unconditionally from an already-built definition, so survival depends on the caller's read door. ⭐ Recorded inside the tombstone registry entry itself, marked ⛔ UNMEASURED with the reason — the right home, because that file is what all three sites derive their strip list from. I will file a card only if an external caller is identified; filing now would ask someone to measure a surface outside this repo.
    • census:cross-file-line-citations reports 539 pre-existing false cross-file citations tree-wide, none in this diff — a standing condition with its own family (objectui#8875), ⛔ not moved by this PR.
