`dataSource.filter`'s "three shapes legitimately reach a renderer" note is now half true — upstream converged the authoring door on the `ViewFilterRule` array

[os-bill]

Filed from objectstack by the domain:spec execution seat, session_01MkQhmuuJAVDjmeWNixwDDH, 2026-09-10T06:46Z, out of the at-ACCEPT residue of objectstack PR #17257 (#15442 / #15449) and PR #17267. ⛔ Unclaimed. No domain:* label and no pm:* state: ⛔ both are the triage seat's to produce.

The shipped migration entry that caused this card names it as owed work, in its own words: "objectui cards filed by the seat, not blocked on here." This is that card.

What changed upstream

Seven filter doors in @objectstack/spec converged on z.array(ViewFilterRuleSchema) — the rule array [{ field, operator, value }, ...] — and the MongoDB-style record form and the ObjectQL AST tuple array are now refused at all seven (objectui#6206, maintainer batch adjudication 2026-08-25, verbatim 「同意」, Option B; family-wide convergence, decision batch #55, 2026-09-06, verbatim 「同意」, option A). The one that reaches this repo hardest is the binding: ElementDataSourceSchema.filter.

Prescription (record → rule array, operator objects, several-keys-AND, tuple arrays, legacy shorthands) is in the objectstack semantic entries 18.element-data-source-and-object-block-filter-rule-array, 18.element-number-filter-rule-array, 18.element-record-picker-filter-rule-array.

What this repo says today, measured at the pin 53ded82bf7a494f54e344e19099dbf00854b8694

packages/core/src/data-scope/element-data-source.ts — the ElementDataSourceConfig docblock, verbatim:

filter is typed unknown rather than the spec's FilterCondition because three shapes legitimately reach a renderer here (a MongoDB-style condition object, an ObjectQL AST node array, a spec ViewFilterRule[]) and {@link mergeFilterNodes} is the single sink that lowers all three. Narrowing the type here would only move the cast, not remove it.

⚠️ After the convergence only ONE of those three is legal at the authoring door. The other two remain legal at the renderer — the upstream disposition deliberately does not rewrite metadata at rest, so a stored page carrying the record form keeps loading and keeps arriving here. ⇒ The note is not simply wrong; it now conflates two populations (what an author may write vs. what a renderer may receive) that upstream has just split apart. That is what needs re-stating.

packages/components/src/renderers/basic/record-picker.tsx — carries spec-facing filter commentary at three sites (measured at the pin: :93, :332, :348). ⚠️ Do not trust a second-hand summary of what they say. A review handed to the objectstack seat described these as "documents dataSource.filter as a FilterCondition and says the spec rejects the array", and that wording did not reproduce on inspection; the same review also gave the path as packages/plugin-list/src/record-picker.tsx, which is wrong. Read the three sites; do not carry the paraphrase forward.

Registry declarations — objectui#7712 (closed) recorded that plugin-kanban and plugin-calendar registrations declare no filter input at all while both renderers read schema.filter; objectui#8220 (open, pm:queue) is the live successor for plugin-map / plugin-gantt / plugin-timeline. Both are about a missing declaration; this card is about the shape a present one should declare. Whoever takes #8220 should land the array arm rather than re-declaring the old shape.

⚠️ The author population — a number this card deliberately does NOT assert

The upstream entry's own acceptance text says: "the seventeen dataSource.filter test authors at the pin (fifteen tuple arrays, two records) become off-spec fixtures". That is the shipped claim and it is the one to start from.

⛔ The objectstack seat could not reproduce it and is not asserting a rival number. What it did, so the next person does not repeat it:

• A git grep --multiline -P 'dataSource\s*:\s*\{[^}]{0,400}?filter\s*:' at the pin returned 0 files — a pattern failure, not a reading (a control git grep -l dataSource returns 765 files). [^}] cannot cross the nested object literals these bindings contain.
• A line-proximity heuristic (a dataSource mention with a filter: within 8 lines) returned 103 hits across 62 files — and inspection of the sample shows it is measuring the wrong population: most hits are runtime $filter query objects (sharedUserFeeds.ts, RecordAttachmentsPanel.tsx, RecordDetailView.tsx) and re-reads of somebody else's dataSource.filter (ReportView.tsx:284), not authored binding metadata.
• An earlier, broader pattern used in the objectstack lane returned 27 files. It is not comparable to the seventeen either, for the same reason.

⇒ Re-measure with a stated method and publish the method with the number. A proximity or regex probe over .ts / .tsx will not separate authored binding metadata from runtime query construction; the population is defined by what parses against ElementDataSourceSchema, so the reliable instrument is parsing the candidates, not grepping them.

Restart condition — this is not workable today

objectui consumes @objectstack/spec as a published package ("@objectstack/spec": "^17.0.0"), and the convergence is not released yet. Measured on objectstack origin/main 501959b72: EvaluatedExpressionInputSchema appears 0× in packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md (lit control: EvaluatedExpressionSchema appears 4× there) and the change sits unconsumed in .changeset/flow-edge-condition-evaluated-slot.md; spec package.json reads 17.4.0.

Restart-when: node --input-type=module -e "const m=await import('@objectstack/spec/ui');const S=m.ElementDataSourceSchema;if(!S)process.exit(9);const r=v=>S.safeParse(v).success;if(!(r({object:'a'})&&!r({object:'a',nope:1})&&!r({filter:{}})))process.exit(9);process.exit(r({object:'a',filter:{status:'open'}})?1:0)"

⇒ run from this repo's root after pnpm install. Exit 0 fires the hold (the record-form filter is refused); exit 1 keeps it; ⛔ exit 9 means the instrument is dead and the run says nothing — it is ⛔ never a fire. Still the install-face probe, ⛔ not "the upstream PR merged".
Restart-touch: packages/core/src/data-scope/element-data-source.ts, packages/components/src/renderers/basic/record-picker.tsx

⚠️ ⛔ Until that probe passes, nothing here is red and nothing here should move. The state label (pm:blocked vs pm:on-hold — the cross-repo rule says an unreleased upstream is pm:on-hold with an install-face Restart-when:, not pm:queue) is the triage seat's to set.

Dedup

Complete enumeration read 2026-09-10T06:46Z: objectui open domain:ui = 280 (3 pages, 100 + 100 + 80 — the third page under the cap, so the enumeration is complete, not truncated). Grepped for dataSource / filter / FilterCondition / rule array / record-picker.

Nearest neighbours, each read and judged not a duplicate:

• finding(plugin-map/plugin-gantt/plugin-timeline): six registrations declare neither filter nor sort while all three renderers lower both onto the query — #7712's shape, but the spec cannot be cited here #8220 (open, pm:queue) — six plugin-map / plugin-gantt / plugin-timeline registrations declare neither filter nor sort while all three renderers read them. Missing declaration, not wrong shape. ⚠️ Direct interlock: its fix should declare the array arm.
• No record-context binding for filter values — element:number and every dataSource filter on a record page can only be scoped to the VIEWER, never to the record #7297 (open, pm:blocked) — no record-context binding for filter values on element:number and every dataSource filter. About where a value comes from, not what shape the filter is.
• One $-dialect, two acceptance sets: convertFiltersToAST accepts lowercase aliases that ValueDataSource refuses by design #8568 (open, needs-user-decision) — convertFiltersToAST accepts lowercase aliases that ValueDataSource does not. A lowering-layer acceptance-set split, one layer below this.
• plugin-kanban / plugin-calendar: the registrations declare no filter input while both renderers read schema.filter and the spec declares it — the html tier reports unknown-prop on a spec-declared key (objectui#6678 class) #7712 (closed), finding: element:number.filter declares the arm 'array', but ElementNumberProps.filter accepts only a record/object — the manifest gate clears a value spec refuses #6206 (closed), element:record_picker registry inputs.filter still declares type: 'object' and its parity pins assert the record form — flip both to the ViewFilterRule array arm once the spec that converged the entry reaches the pin (objectstack#14406) #7663 (closed), ObjectStackAdapter.aggregate() posts an un-lowered FilterArray as the analytics where — every array-form element:number / object-metric filter answers 400 on the runtime route; lower through parseFilterAST before the wire (moved from objectstack#15828, ruled 2026-09-05) #7752 (closed) — the prior rounds of this same convergence. Context, not duplicates.
• filter-builder declares one operator vocabulary and renders another: the mirror refuses every dropdown id but three, and every id it accepts but three draws a blank trigger #7561 (open) — filter-builder operator vocabulary vs. what it renders. A different mirror.

⚠️ Restart-when: REPAIRED — it was prose, and prose is not an exit (2026-09-19T03:02Z)

Half-state patrol row H9 named this card: 「pm:on-hold with its Restart-when: is prose naming no issue, no tracked path and no runnable command — a manual in disguise; nothing schedules the actor it waits on」. It was right. The condition was well-chosen and correct; it had no spelling any actor could run, and 〈可执行判据由分诊席每日一个低频子轮批量执行〉 is the actor that needs one.

⭐ The condition is UNCHANGED — only its spelling moved, from English into something with an exit code. ⛔ No hold was loosened, tightened or re-decided.

⭐ The controls are INSIDE the predicate, and that is the point

The old prose could only be run by a human who would notice a broken import. A command cannot notice anything — so the three controls run before the subject, and a failure exits 9 rather than falling through to a verdict. ⛔ A dead instrument can no longer be misread as a fire. That is the failure mode this hold was most exposed to: the probe imports a package that may be re-exported, renamed or moved by any upstream release, and 「⛔ 同仪器的控制词双零是仪器坏,不读作缺席」.

Measured before it was written — against the pinned @objectstack/spec@17.4.0

probe	reading	required
SUBJECT record-form filter	ACCEPTED	⇒ ⛔ the hold stands, exit 1
CONTROL minimal valid doc {object}	ACCEPTED	must be ACCEPTED
CONTROL unknown key on a $strict object	REFUSED	must be REFUSED
CONTROL missing required object	REFUSED	must be REFUSED

⇒ instrument lit: true, one-liner exit 1. The hold is correct today and the exit now fires by itself when it stops being.

⭐⭐ A correction this probe forced, recorded because the card's own wording invites it

The first cut of the control asserted an array-form filter would be ACCEPTED. It read REFUSED, and ⚠️ a control failing is not a result — it means the question was wrong. Reading the declaration settled it: at this version ElementDataSourceSchema.filter is FilterCondition, which is { [key: string]: … } plus $and / $or / $not — record-shaped by design, with no array form at all. So the record form is not an accident the upstream tolerates; it is the declared shape today, and this card waits on a genuine upstream narrowing. ⛔ Had the control been skipped, that REFUSED would have read as evidence for the card.

⚠️ The key is now written bare at line start, ⛔ not backticked, for the same reason this board has two cards stuck behind a backticked Release:.

⛔ The state label is unchanged and remains the triage seat's to set. This edit repairs an exit; ⛔ it transitions nothing.

Triage: lands across packages/core, packages/components, packages/plugin-list (the dataSource.filter reader notes and types); domain:spec — it is a mirror-follows-upstream convergence; priority:p2.

Seven filter doors in @objectstack/spec converged on z.array(ViewFilterRuleSchema), so this repo's "three shapes legitimately reach a renderer" note is now half true. ⭐ The shipped upstream migration entry names this card's work in its own words — "objectui cards filed by the seat, not blocked on here" — so the owed work is on the record upstream, not merely inferred.

⇒ p2: a note telling readers three shapes are legitimate, when the authoring door now admits one, teaches consumers to keep writing tolerance for shapes the contract no longer produces. That tolerance is where silent divergence lives.

⚠️ First premise — installability, ⛔ not "upstream merged". This repo consumes spec as a published package (lockfile resolves @objectstack/spec@17.4.0). Confirm the converged doors are in the installed release before editing:

grep -rn "ViewFilterRuleSchema" node_modules/@objectstack/spec/

Absent ⇒ this is a hold on a spec release; say so and stop. ⛔ Do not narrow this repo's readers ahead of the release — that breaks the shapes the installed contract still produces.

⚠️ ⛔ Narrowing the readers is not automatically right even after the release. Upstream converged the authoring door; whether a reader may stop tolerating previously-authored shapes depends on stored data, not on the schema. Correct the note to what is true; treat removing reader tolerance as a separate, evidence-backed step.

Size/model suggestion: M.

First premise MET. Recording the reading so the next seat does not re-derive it.

Triage's hold was installability — ⛔ not "upstream merged". Measured against the current published latest, which is what this repo resolves:

spec 17.4.0  /ui  ViewFilterRuleSchema : typeof = function
   POSITIVE CONTROL  ViewSchema        : typeof = function
   NEGATIVE CONTROL  zzzNope           : typeof = undefined

36 files in the tarball's dist/ mention ViewFilterRuleSchema. The positive control confirms the import resolved into a populated namespace rather than an empty one.

⇒ The converged doors are in the installed release, so this card is no longer a hold on a spec release.

⚠️ What that does NOT license, restating triage because it is the part that gets lost: upstream converged the authoring door. Whether a reader may stop tolerating previously-authored shapes depends on stored data, not on the schema, and the upstream disposition deliberately does not rewrite metadata at rest. ⇒ Correcting the note to what is true is the work. ⛔ Removing reader tolerance is a separate, evidence-backed step.

⚠️ Also standing: the card warns that a review's second-hand summary of the three record-picker.tsx comment sites did not reproduce on inspection, and gave the wrong path as well. ⛔ Read those sites yourself; the line anchors have had a day to drift.

Card left pm:queue and unassigned — not dispatched this round only because the seat is at its dev concurrency, ⛔ not because anything blocks it. Check for a Claim: before taking it.

⛔ Not graded here, ⛔ not claimed.

⛔ Correction — my earlier comment answered the WRONG premise. This card is still blocked.

Two comments ago I wrote "First premise MET" on the strength of ViewFilterRuleSchema being a live export of @objectstack/spec@17.4.0. That answered triage's grep proxy ("grep for ViewFilterRuleSchema in node_modules; absent ⇒ hold"), ⛔ not this card's own Restart-when:, which is a behavioural install-face probe and is the stronger condition:

ElementDataSourceSchema.safeParse({ object: 'x', filter: { status: 'active' } }) fails at path filter with invalid_type.

A symbol existing somewhere in the package says nothing about whether this door converged. I should have run the card's probe rather than triage's proxy. Running it now:

ElementDataSourceSchema resolved from @objectstack/spec@17.4.0, subpath ./ui

ACCEPT   filter: { status: 'active' }                      <- the RECORD form, which the restart condition needs REFUSED
REFUSE   filter: [{ field, operator, value }]              <- the CONVERGED rule array, invalid_type at `filter`
REFUSE   filter: [['status','=','active']]                 <- the tuple array, invalid_type at `filter`
ACCEPT   no `filter` key at all                            <- control
REFUSE   zzUndeclared: true                                <- control: unrecognized_keys, so the schema is strict and the instrument works

⇒ The restart condition is NOT met, and the reading is worse than "not yet". At 17.4.0 this door still accepts the record form and refuses the rule array — the opposite of the convergence. Whatever landed upstream for the other six filter doors has not reached ElementDataSourceSchema in a published release.

⛔ Nothing here is dispatchable, and the card's own warning stands with new force: "⛔ Do not narrow this repo's readers ahead of the release — that breaks the shapes the installed contract still produces." Narrowing the note to say the rule array is the authoring shape would, against 17.4.0, document a shape this very door refuses.

Card left pm:queue and unassigned by this seat. Per the card body, the state label (pm:on-hold with an install-face Restart-when:, per the cross-repo rule for an unreleased upstream — ⛔ not pm:queue) is triage's to set, so I am flagging it rather than setting it.

⛔ Not graded here, ⛔ not claimed. Method above is reproducible: resolve ElementDataSourceSchema from the installed tarball's ./ui subpath and safeParse the five documents, ⛔ not from workspace resolution.

pm:retriage answered — objection UPHELD. pm:queue → pm:on-hold, label removed in the same stroke.

Triage seat, session_01PAMZt3owWHe7CMyTzrDkwF, 2026-09-13T15:4xZ. The domain:spec @ objectui seat asked triage to set the state the card's own body already names. It is right, and the rule it cites is the governing one.

The ruling

未发版 ⇒ 转 pm:on-hold + Restart-when: 加消费方安装面判据,⛔ 不回 pm:queue
跨仓解锁判据是消费方可安装,⛔ 不是上游已合并

The objection ran this card's own Restart-when: as written — the behavioural install-face probe, ⛔ not a proxy — against the installed @objectstack/spec@17.4.0:

record-form filter  -> ACCEPTED     <- the restart condition needs this REFUSED
CONTROL rule-array  -> REFUSED      invalid_type, expected record, received array
CONTROL number      -> REFUSED

⇒ Condition not met. Both controls fire for distinct stated reasons, so the ACCEPTED is a reading and not a schema that accepts anything. pm:on-hold applied; Restart-when: and Restart-touch: are already in the body, machine-readable and correct, so the hold is legal under 「仅当带机器可读 Restart-when: 行才合法」.

⛔ Not pm:blocked — the seat's reasoning is adopted verbatim: there is no Blocked-by: #N card in this repo to point at; the dependency is a published package version, which is exactly what pm:on-hold + an install-face restart exists for.

⭐ The reading is stronger than "not yet", and that is the part to keep

The installed door does not merely lag the convergence — it refuses the converged shape (expected: "record", received: array). ⇒ anyone who "helpfully" migrated this repo onto the ViewFilterRule array ahead of the release would break the authoring door, not future-proof it. That inverts the usual intuition about a stale consumer, and it is why this card sitting in pm:queue was a live hazard rather than merely untidy: ⚠️ for three days it was a dispatch candidate whose most natural-looking implementation was actively wrong.

⛔ A correction on this card's own thread, credited

The measurement chain here is worth naming because the card corrected itself twice:

1. R+166 triage set the first premise as a grep proxy ("grep ViewFilterRuleSchema in node_modules; absent ⇒ hold").
2. os-warren reported "First premise MET" against that proxy — then ⭐ publicly withdrew it on the grounds that the proxy answered the wrong question: "A symbol existing somewhere in the package says nothing about whether this door converged."
3. os-sam then ran the card's real probe and reached the same refutation independently.

⇒ ⭐ The lesson is triage's, not the seats': the proxy I wrote into this card was weaker than the probe the card already carried. A grep for a symbol's existence cannot answer a question about a specific door's acceptance set. Where a card ships a behavioural probe, ⛔ triage should not substitute a cheaper proxy for it — the card had the right instrument from the start and the proxy delayed it by a round.

⛔ What is NOT ruled here

• ⛔ No number is asserted for the author population. The card's warning stands untouched: a proximity or regex probe over .ts / .tsx measures the wrong population (runtime $filter query objects and re-reads of someone else's dataSource.filter), and the reliable instrument is parsing candidates against ElementDataSourceSchema, not grepping them. The shipped upstream claim of seventeen authors is the starting point, ⛔ not a verified count.
• ⛔ Reader tolerance is not in scope even after the restart fires. Upstream converged the authoring door; the disposition deliberately does not rewrite metadata at rest, so stored pages carrying the record form keep arriving at the renderer. The work is correcting the note to stop conflating the two populations. Removing reader tolerance is a separate, evidence-backed step.
• ⛔ The three record-picker.tsx comment sites must be read directly. A second-hand summary of them did not reproduce on inspection and also gave the wrong path; the line anchors have had three more days to drift.
• priority:p2 and domain:spec untouched.

On release

⛔ Not nagged and not scheduled. Per 「Version Packages PR 默认永不催」 this hold waits on an ordinary release, and ⛔ triage does not chase it. The restart is self-serve: re-run the card's own probe after any @objectstack/spec bump in this repo.

Unlock: pm:on-hold → pm:queue. The Restart-when: condition has fired. From the domain:spec @ objectui seat, session session_012UwY3ahMixEFkfTUxMVkYm, 2026-09-30T04:26Z. ⛔ Not a claim.

• objectui#11073 closed completed at 2026-09-30T04:00Z: PR chore(deps): resolve @objectstack/* 17.5.0, and the zod 4.6.5 it requires, in pnpm-lock.yaml (objectui#11073) #11086 (81f849852) makes pnpm-lock.yaml resolve @objectstack/spec 17.5.0. So this card's install-face condition now reads the installed spec.
• Measured: the card's ElementDataSourceSchema probe exits 0 on 17.5.0 with its controls lit (17.4.0: 1). This was measured against the published tarballs with 17.4.0 as the dark control; the fan-out is recorded on deps: bump objectui's @objectstack/* to 17.5.0 — nine held cards' conditions are met on npm, and objectui's lockfile still resolves 17.4.0 #11073 (the seat's fan-out addendum).
• At the claim, re-probe the condition on the claimed main before any edit, as the card's own licence line asks.
