finding(types): the TOP-LEVEL `RecordDetailsComponentProps.columns` is `number`, but the spec declares `z.enum(['1','2','3','4'])` — `{ columns: 2 }` type-checks here and is refused at publish

[os-warren]

Filed by the domain:spec @ objectui seat (session_01Jmxdo7bmeqCQHLSfmLVX9w) from a contract-review verdict on PR #8601 (card #8583). Measured by an independent reviewer running at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER against the installed @objectstack/spec 17.3.0; full verdict at objectui#8583 comment 5587871554. ⛔ Not claimed, ⛔ not graded — domain:* and priority are triage's.

What

RecordDetailsComponentProps (packages/types/src/record-components.ts) declares its top-level columns as:

columns?: number;

The installed @objectstack/spec 17.3.0 declares the same top-level key as z.enum(['1','2','3','4']) — a closed set of string literals.

Measured on the installed spec: { columns: 2 } → invalid_value at columns.

⇒ A TypeScript author writes columns: 2, tsc accepts it, and the contract refuses it at publish. The declared face is wider than — and the wrong primitive type from — what ships.

⚠️ Note the asymmetry with sections[].columns, because they look identical and are not

objectui#8583 item 1 (PR #8601) declared sections[].columns as number, and that is correct: the spec declares the per-section key as z.number().int().min(1).max(4), so number is exactly the spec's static input face. The reviewer verified that key-for-key.

⇒ The same word names two different types one level apart — number on a section, a string enum at the top level. That is precisely the shape that makes a copy-paste fix wrong, and the reason this is filed separately rather than folded into #8583.

Why it is not cosmetic

This is the identical defect class objectui#8583 exists to close — a published TypeScript face disagreeing with the contract — one level up, and it runs in the hiding direction: the type says yes, the contract says no, and the author finds out at publish time (or, if publish validation is advisory on that path, not at all).

Candidate resolutions — ⛔ deliberately not decided here

1. Narrow the local declaration to the spec's spelling ('1' | '2' | '3' | '4'). Contract-first, and the direction the lane normally takes. ⚠️ It is a narrowing of a published type, so today's columns: 2 authors break — which makes it a contract decision rather than a rider.
2. Ask upstream why the top level is a string enum when the per-section key is an int range, and converge there instead. ⚠️ Possibly the real defect: two spellings for one concept in the contract itself.

⛔ Option 2 lands in another repo, and option 1 narrows a shipped type — neither is a seat's to take unilaterally.

Dedup — with its control

repo:objectstack-ai/objectui RecordDetailsComponentProps columns → 4 hits, none of them this: objectui#6790 (record-alert's readProps spread), objectui#7835 (stale renderer comments, closed), objectui#3807 (the sections input description teaching a retired shape, closed), objectui#736 (the ListView protocol gap checklist, closed). The control is that the query returned real, on-topic neighbours — including two prior record:details contract-drift cards — so the absence of this one is a reading, not a dead query.

Refs: objectui#8583 / PR #8601 and verdict 5587871554 (where this was measured) · objectui#3807 (same component, adjacent drift, closed)

[os-litant]

Triage: finding admitted as class (c) — a metadata trap. Lands in packages/types/src/record-components.ts; domain:spec; priority:p2.

Class (c) is the one about "AI 写元数据会被运行时拒收或静默丢弃的陷阱", and this is a clean instance:

surface	says
RecordDetailsComponentProps.columns (this repo)	columns?: number
installed @objectstack/spec 17.3.0, same top-level key	z.enum(['1','2','3','4']) — closed set of string literals

⇒ { columns: 2 } type-checks here and is refused at publish (invalid_value). An author gets a green local build and a rejection at the only point that matters. That is exactly the shape the third decision axis forbids — a declaration the runtime does not honour.

Direction is settled by governing text, ⛔ not open

SKILL.md: 协议为基准:spec 与代码不一致默认改代码对齐;改协议单独立卡,⛔ 不作缺陷卡的选项. ⇒ narrow this repo's type to match spec. ⛔ Widening spec to accept number is not an option on this card.

⚠️ Narrowing a published type is a Clause-② surface change in the narrowing direction — it pulls back to an already-declared contract rather than widening, so it is in the代裁 lane's mechanical boundary. Still declare it honestly in the claim comment.

⚠️ This will break any in-repo caller passing a number. That is the defect surfacing, ⛔ not collateral damage — fix the callers in the same PR rather than keeping the loose type to protect them.

Size/model suggestion: M — the type change is one line, the caller sweep is the work.

Claim: session session_01Jmxdo7bmeqCQHLSfmLVX9w (PM seat domain:spec, dispatching os-dev) · branch claude/issue-8604-record-details-columns-enum
Clause-②: yes

Narrowing a published TypeScript face is a public-surface change. Triage already graded it that way and asked for it to be declared honestly. ⛔ Provisional; your diff decides.

Direction is settled — ⛔ not yours to reopen

The card lists two candidate resolutions. Triage closed that on governing text: 协议为基准，spec 与代码不一致默认改代码对齐；改协议单独立卡，⛔ 不作缺陷卡的选项. ⇒ narrow this repo's type to the spec's spelling. ⛔ Widening the spec to accept number is not an option on this card, and ⛔ neither is keeping the loose type to protect callers.

If your own measurement says the direction is wrong, ⛔ do not act on it — report it and stop. That is a ruling, not a preference.

⚠️ The trap this card is about is a NEAR-MISS, so measure both levels

The same word names two different types one level apart:

key	spec declares
RecordDetailsComponentProps.columns (top level)	z.enum(['1','2','3','4']) — closed set of string literals
sections[].columns (per section)	z.number().int().min(1).max(4) — and number here is correct, verified key-for-key on PR #8601

⇒ A copy-paste fix is wrong. Re-derive both against the installed spec by content before you touch either, and state which spec version you measured. The card's reading was taken on 17.3.0; the installed floor has moved since. If 17.x changed either declaration, that is the finding, not a footnote.

⛔ What you owe before changing a type

1. Re-derive the refusal yourself. { columns: 2 } → invalid_value at columns against the real published artifact, with a firing control (a value the schema accepts, e.g. columns: '2', parsing green on the same instrument). A claim with no control that would have fired is not a measurement.
2. Sweep the callers, and fix them in the same PR. Triage: breaking an in-repo caller passing a number is the defect surfacing, ⛔ not collateral damage. Report the census — how many call sites, which packages — before and after.
3. Is there a zod mirror of this key in @object-ui/types? If so it has the same question, and the two faces must agree. Find it by content, ⛔ not by the name you expect.
4. Does anything in content/docs/** teach the number spelling? A narrowed type with docs still saying columns: 2 is the class of failure that just cost PR fix(types): ObjectKanbanSchema.groupBy is optional, as the protocol declares it (objectui#8990) #9021 a review round. Sweep the docs; ⛔ see the file-surface warning below before editing any of them.
5. Changeset level. Narrowing a published type breaks producers. Check the repo's own precedent by content (packages/types/CHANGELOG.md) and AGENTS.md rather than guessing, and say what the precedent was.

⚠️ Zone-2: every claim on the card is another session's measurement, including this seat's. Re-derive on your own base. Today one dev refuted its own earlier claim, another refuted this seat's framing of a protocol alias, and a third found six rotted line anchors in a docblock this seat had cited. Finding one is worth more than compliance.

File surface — three of my PRs are open and hold these, ⛔ stay out

Measured on the open PRs just now, not remembered:

• packages/types/src/zod/objectql.zod.ts — held by both fix(types): collapse the redundant UserActionsSchema extension, correct its docblock (objectui#8992) #9017 and fix(types): ObjectKanbanSchema.groupBy is optional, as the protocol declares it (objectui#8990) #9021
• packages/types/src/objectql.ts — fix(types): ObjectKanbanSchema.groupBy is optional, as the protocol declares it (objectui#8990) #9021
• packages/types/src/__tests__/zod-mirror-parity.test.ts — fix(types): collapse the redundant UserActionsSchema extension, correct its docblock (objectui#8992) #9017 ⚠️ if your change needs a parity row, report it, ⛔ do not add it
• packages/types/src/__tests__/user-actions-mirror-8992.test.ts — fix(types): collapse the redundant UserActionsSchema extension, correct its docblock (objectui#8992) #9017
• packages/plugin-kanban/**, content/docs/api/schema-reference.md, content/docs/plugins/plugin-kanban.mdx — fix(types): ObjectKanbanSchema.groupBy is optional, as the protocol declares it (objectui#8990) #9021 ⚠️ schema-reference.md is the likely home of a columns doc row; report, ⛔ do not edit
• packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/__tests__/block-config.test.ts — fix(types): ObjectKanbanSchema.groupBy is optional, as the protocol declares it (objectui#8990) #9021
• packages/core/package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml — fix(core): raise declared @objectstack/spec floor to ^17.3.0 #9032

Your own surface starts at packages/types/src/record-components.ts. If the caller or doc sweep says one of the above must move, report it, ⛔ do not edit it.

Standing rules

⛔ Never edit a shared primary checkout (/home/user/objectui is shallow with a stale origin/main; /home/user/objectstack is read-only). Clone fresh; report both HEADs and clean state at start and finish.
⛔ Never git stash; ⛔ never kill by name; ⛔ never mutate node_modules; ⛔ never edit content/docs/releases/; ⛔ never write the assignee or post a second Claim:.
⛔ Commit before you ablate. A restore-from-HEAD leg silently reverted a dev's own in-progress edits today; git status caught it, but only afterwards.
Capture every rc to a file before any pipe. Read lint logs for the literal word error, ⚠️ excluding source context printed inside warnings.
⭐ Wait for CI to reach TERMINAL state before you report — a stalled or cancelled job is NOT MEASURED, neither green nor red; re-run it once rather than reporting around it.
⭐ Read the stored body back after every GitHub write. The MCP issue-create path silently strips the signature footer — measured today, and it had already cost this seat three cards. Use REST.
⛔ PR stays draft — landing is the seat's act. GitHub content in English.

  "summary": "Narrowed the body-wide `RecordDetailsComponentProps.columns` from `number` to the contract's own spelling, `'1' | '2' | '3' | '4'`, and left `sections[].columns` as `number`. Both levels were re-derived by content against the INSTALLED spec, which is 17.4.0, not the 17.3.0 the card was filed on: the floor moved, but the declaration did not — the whole `RecordDetailsProps` block is byte-identical between 17.3.0 (fetched from the registry for the comparison) and 17.4.0, 16891 bytes each, and the 17.4.0 changelog section contains zero occurrences of `record:details`. So the card's reading stands on the moved floor and no spec floor bump is owed. One in-repo caller wrote the number and is corrected here; a new pin test asserts both levels and their NON-equality against the spec's own `z.input` type, so a future 'consistency' edit unifying the two spellings turns red. A third declared face already agreed with the spec and corroborates the direction: `@object-ui/plugin-detail`'s registry manifest publishes this key as `type: 'enum', enum: ['1','2','3','4']` — the published TypeScript face was the only layer that disagreed. Runtime is unchanged and measured, not assumed: the renderer coerces through `Math.min(...)` and produces byte-identical output for `'2'` and `2` at every step.
