Promote affordance ships to users but opens nothing (dialog never mounted)

[rubenvdlinde]

What happens

On the Application detail page, every non-terminal version pill renders a Promote affordance (.ob-detail-header__pill-promote). Clicking it does nothing at all.

Why

ApplicationDetailHeader.onPromoteClick() looks for window.openbuild.openPromoteDialog:

const opener = (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.openbuild && typeof window.openbuild.openPromoteDialog === 'function')
    ? window.openbuild.openPromoteDialog
    : null

That global is defined nowhere in src/. It then falls back to emitting a promote event that no parent handles, and logs console.debug('openbuild: promote dialog not registered — deferred').

src/dialogs/PromoteVersionDialog.vue is fully built and unit-tested (tests/dialogs/PromoteVersionDialog.spec.js) but is imported by nothing. The missing piece is the call site, exactly as tests/e2e/promoteDestructive.spec.ts predicted.

Verified against

A real development → staging → production chain (tests/e2e/support/versionChain.ts). The pills render correctly as development, staging, * production, with promote affordances on exactly the two non-terminal pills — so REQ-OBADO-012 is satisfied; only the action is missing.

Blocks

tests/e2e/promoteDestructive.spec.ts (3 scenarios) stays quarantined until the call site exists.

⚠️ For whoever wires it: those scenarios end by clicking Confirm, which performs a real promotion (empty-start wipes the target register). Against a fixture chain that makes the suite non-idempotent — the gating assertions are the valuable part and should stop at Cancel.
