+`component-props-invalid` no longer hides a wrong `object` prop on a component that also carries a `dataSource` binding
+
+Clause-②: no
+
+A page component whose `dataSource.object` names the object may leave the flat
+`properties.object` shorthand out: the binding supplies it, so the rule does not
+report the props schema's required `object` as missing. That waiver was matched
+on the issue's path alone, so it also swallowed every other issue the props
+schema raised at `object`. A present but wrong value, such as `object: 7` or
+`object: null`, was reported without a binding and silently passed with one.
+
+The waiver now covers what its contract says: a missing `object`, meaning no
+key or an explicit `undefined`. A value the author did write is judged as
+written, and it is reported at `properties.object` exactly as it is on the same
+component without a binding.
+
+Effect on `os validate`, `os lint` and `os build`: a document that sets both a
+`dataSource` binding and a wrong-typed `properties.object` now gets one
+`component-props-invalid` warning it did not get before. The rule stays
+advisory: without `--strict` nothing that validated before is refused; under
+`os validate --strict` or `os lint --strict` the new warning fails the run, as
+every warning does. A component that binds
+through `dataSource` and omits `properties.object` is still clean.
