Studio is a third surface name the #79 naming decision does not cover

Found while executing #79. Filed rather than folded in: #79's decision defines exactly two outcomes and inventing a third would be the "grow a category mid-sweep" failure that card's ⛔ #5 forbids.

What is there

#79 decided: the end-user surface gets no name, the administration surface is Setup. Two outcomes. But the corpus already carries a third live surface name, and #79 says nothing about it:

content/docs/configure/index.mdx:13 — "Permissions are designed in Studio, assigned in Setup. Most administration never leaves Setup — you enter Studio only to author permission sets or to run the explain engine."
content/docs/configure/permissions/managing-access.mdx:124 — "Permissions are designed in Studio, assigned in Setup."
content/docs/build/interface/apps.mdx:98 — "| Builder / admin | Setup / Studio, raw object tables | Capabilities: setup.access, studio.access, manage_metadata |"
docs/TRANSLATION.md lists Studio in the never-translate product-noun glossary, alongside Setup.
content/docs/reference/cli.mdx:74 documents an os studio command.

So the product has at least three named places: the unnamed end-user surface, Setup for administration, and Studio for authoring metadata. studio.access is a real capability next to setup.access, so this is not stale vocabulary the way Console was — it is a live, gated surface.

Where it bit during #79

Several Console occurrences named a metadata-authoring destination, which today's corpus places in Studio rather than Setup:

Occurrence on `origin/main`	What it points at
`build/data/index.mdx:21` — "Console → Objects → New Object → forms"	authoring an object
`build/packages.mdx:54` — "Console → Packages → New Package"	authoring a package
`build/agents.mdx:50` — "Or in Console: Console → Agents → New Agent"	authoring an agent
`configure/permissions/index.mdx:164` — "Console surfaces it as the 'Why can this user access?' panel"	the explain engine, which `configure/index.mdx:14` places in Studio

Neither of #79's two outcomes fits: these are not the unnamed end-user surface, and calling them Setup would contradict the page that says permissions are designed in Studio. PR #100 dropped the noun in all four rather than substitute a third name — "Objects → New Object → forms", "It surfaces as the 'Why can this user access?' panel" — which is correct under the card but leaves the reader without a destination.

Why it is worth recording

The rename #79 performed was worth doing because one word addressed both a business user and an administrator. If Studio and Setup are two names for two audiences, that is the same split done right and the docs should route readers to the correct one. If Studio is itself a leftover — or if Setup and Studio are being merged — then the four occurrences above are pointing readers at a surface that will not be there.

Either way the answer is a product decision, not something a docs sweep can transcribe. Cost of leaving it: the four rewrites above tell a reader what to click without telling them where, and the next person who greps for surface names finds Setup, Studio and no rule relating them.

What settling it looks like

Does Studio survive as a named surface? If yes, say so where Setup is defined — resources/glossary.mdx now has a Setup entry and no Studio entry.
If yes, the four occurrences above should name Studio rather than drop the noun, and configure/index.mdx's "designed in Studio, assigned in Setup" line becomes the canonical statement of the split rather than an aside in one page's callout.
If no, configure/index.mdx:13, managing-access.mdx:124, apps.mdx:98, TRANSLATION.md and the os studio command reference all need the same treatment Retire "Console" as the name of the end-user surface; keep a name only for the admin surface (Setup) #79 gave Console.

⛔ Do not settle this by adding a Studio glossary entry that describes it without deciding 1. That is how the corpus arrived at two Console entries each "Distinct from Console" (#89).

Checked for duplicates first: no open issue in this repository mentions Studio as a naming question.

Related: #79, #89.

Triage: standard facet block backfill (decision-inbox duty; the card predates the block standard on this repo). Assigned os-zhuang per the 2026-08-19 notification-handover ruling (inbox routing, not a claim).

① platform long-term coherence: the undecided third surface name IS the incoherence — either keep-and-define (Studio joins the glossary; "designed in Studio, assigned in Setup" becomes the canonical statement of the split) or retire it the way #79 retired Console; both are coherent, silence is not.
② measured business pull: studio.access is a live gated capability and os studio a documented CLI command; four #79-sweep rewrites currently tell readers what to click without saying where.
③ AI-agent error-resistance: a closed glossary of surface names is exactly the closed-enumeration-over-free-structure axis — every docs-writing agent needs one rule relating Setup and Studio, or the corpus regrows Console-style duplicate entries (#89).
④ startup scope discipline: the decision is one sentence; execution is either 4 line-edits + 1 glossary entry (keep) or a #79-style sweep (retire). Keep is the cheaper branch.
Recommendation: 1 = yes, Studio survives — it is anchored by a live capability key and a shipped CLI command, which docs cannot retire on their own; define it in the glossary and let the four occurrences name it.
Confidence gap: whether the product roadmap intends to merge Setup and Studio into one surface is invisible from the docs corpus — if a merge is planned, flip to the #79 treatment instead.

Maintainer ruling recorded (2026-08-20, live decision-inbox session with the triage seat, session `session_01PjAP6vbcsg2yMtvySPv1Qo`)

Ruled: 1 — Studio survives as the named metadata-authoring surface. Provenance: maintainer accepted the batch, verbatim: 「其他接受你的建议。」The product's named places are: the unnamed end-user surface · Setup (administration) · Studio (authoring). Per the card's own settling steps: 「designed in Studio, assigned in Setup」 is promoted from a page aside to the canonical statement of the split; resources/glossary.mdx gains a Studio entry alongside Setup (defining, not merely describing — per the card's ⛔); the four PR #100 rewrites that dropped the noun now name Studio as the destination.

State transition in the same stroke: needs-user-decision → pm:queue.

Branch: claude/issue-102-studio-surface-name
Worktree: objectos-issue-102
Domain: repo:objectos (no domain:* in this repo — sister-repo execution seat)
File surface: content/docs/resources/glossary.mdx, content/docs/configure/index.mdx, content/docs/build/data/index.mdx, content/docs/build/packages.mdx, content/docs/build/agents.mdx, content/docs/configure/permissions/index.mdx (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus — tier from node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --tier <the six paths above>: "no path-derived mandate: the surface hits none of the 3 declared glob(s) … the tier stays the PM's per-card judgment call". Judged opus: the ruling settles whether Studio survives, but the glossary entry has to define a surface (the card's own ⛔ forbids describing it without deciding), and that definition has to be measured against the product rather than composed.
Clause-②: no
Serial constraints cleared: content/docs/build/automation/approvals.mdx — excluded from this card's surface on purpose. objectos#131 is queued against :77/:87-88 of that file and is deferred to a later round behind this card (seat hot-file serial queue, objectstack#9831 §4). Its :14 already reads "typically Studio users", so this card needs no edit there. No in-flight PR touches any of the six declared files; content/docs/configure/notifications.mdx is claimed by #132 this round and is likewise not on this surface.

Premises re-verified on origin/main at 514527b: all four PR #100 rewrite sites still read with the noun dropped (build/data/index.mdx "Objects → New Object", build/packages.mdx "Packages → New Package", build/agents.mdx "Or in the UI: Agents → New Agent", permissions/index.mdx "It surfaces as the …"); glossary.mdx has a Setup entry and a Surface entry, and no Studio entry; configure/index.mdx:13-14 still carries the split as a page aside.

ACCEPT — PR #151

Reviewer of record: repo:objectos PM seat (objectstack#9831), session session_01V8AcCw8C1feB7b5kiaJd7b, round 1. Reviewed against GitHub, objectui@origin/main and objectstack@origin/main — not against the dev's report.

Form. Draft · base main at 614cfd7 (current head) · first line Fixes #102 · 6 files, +37/−9 · no changeset · no locale siblings. Path surface carries no governed file, so this takes the ready → merge path.

Scope. git diff --name-only is exactly the six declared files. The four excluded files stayed excluded — build/automation/approvals.mdx (queued for #131), configure/notifications.mdx (landed this round as #149), build/interface/apps.mdx and permissions/managing-access.mdx (vocabulary models). The Surface entry is untouched and still reads "There are two, not three".

The PM assumption was wrong, and the dev was right to correct it

My dispatch asserted Studio was "an app inside /_console/", a syntactic peer of Setup's /apps/setup, and told the dev to write the glossary entry on that basis. That is false. Verified independently at objectui@6ff0eb1e7:

App.tsx:223 mounts {studioRoutes} as a top-level route subtree of the console SPA — a sibling of the other console routes, not under the /apps/:appName/* mount. The surrounding comment names it "the whole /studio subtree".
studioEntry.ts:107 — STUDIO_ENTRY_CAPABILITY = 'studio.access', an entry-level gate.
Pillars are Data / Automations / Interfaces / Access, exactly as the entry says.

Had the entry been written to my assumption it would have shipped /apps/studio — a route that does not resolve. The dev measured instead of transcribing, and the landed entry says so explicitly: "Unlike Setup it is not an app under /apps/; the UI serves it as its own route subtree."

The stop condition was correctly judged not to fire. I said: if Studio is not an app under /_console/, stop and report, because the Surface entry would need a decision outside this card. Studio is inside /_console/ — as a route subtree rather than an app — so Surface stays true untouched and the new entry carries the relation. That is reading the purpose of a stop condition rather than pattern-matching its wording, and it is the right call.

The second assumption was also falsified — and correctly not acted on

I assumed the four PR #100 sites were the only ones. The dev answered it by diffing PR #100 and classifying every removed occurrence rather than enumerating — the method this seat recorded after a previous review was incomplete for exactly the opposite reason. Result: five more sites drop a metadata-authoring destination (build/index.mdx:3,:13,:52, build/automation/flows.mdx:9,:279). build/index.mdx:13 is the sharp one — the same "click-build" row as build/data/index.mdx:21, so after this PR the pair disagrees.

Correctly not fixed here: out of the declared surface. Filed as #148 with the full classification. Widening the surface silently would have been the easier and worse choice.

One card premise falsified in passing

The card cites reference/cli.mdx:74's os studio command as evidence Studio is live. The dev measured that the CLI does not ship such a command (filed #150). The ruling is unaffected — it rests on studio.access and the shipped /_console/studio surface, both of which I re-verified above — but a piece of the card's own evidence was wrong, and saying so is worth more than quietly leaving it.

Deviations: none against the ruled shape. All three ruled deliverables landed; the glossary entry defines rather than describes, and states the relation in both directions, which is what the card's ⛔ required.

Gates: build, Node floor, Ownership & freshness all green on 46fc8b0, personally read from the job conclusions.

Findings filed — verified, with a correction: #148 and #150 both existed but with no labels at all. I applied finding to each (the "awaiting first triage touch" marker — not a grading, so within this seat's authority). Same defect appeared on #146 this round. Three naked findings from two different dev agents, while #144 and #147 were labelled correctly — recorded in the shift brief as a pattern for the skills lane, not a one-off slip.
