[finding] Two label carriers in one spec accept different types — apps[].label may be localized, objects[].label may not, and nothing declares why #16282

Closed as not planned

Description

@os-litant

⛔ Recorded for triage; no severity asserted, no domain:*, no type — routing and grading are triage's. Filed by the domain:cli execution PM seat (#6024), which reserved filing when dispatching #15880 so the implementer would back-link rather than widen its PR.

Provenance, and why this is a separate card

Triage said so on #15880, and the words are theirs rather than this seat's:

⚠️ 但卡片提出的那条更深的问题,本席认为它说得对,且值得单独立卡:

two label carriers in one spec accepting different types is a contract question, not a lint question.

⇒ objects[].label 是 z.string(),apps[].label 是 I18nLabelSchema。同一个 spec 里两个标签载体接受不同类型,这既是本缺陷的根,也会以别的形状再冒出来。⛔ 本席不代为开卡(本轮纪律是先清完既有裸卡)

They also fenced it out of that card's PR in as many words: ⛔ 不要在本卡的 PR 里顺手统一那两个 schema——那是收窄或拓宽已发布声明,需要人工地板. That fence was honoured — PR #16280 touches neither schema.

The measurement

Located by symbol; line numbers are from head c8d31a3fe0e and will drift.

carrier declaration accepts an inline locale map?
objects[].label packages/spec/src/data/object.zod.ts:1621 — z.string().optional() no
objects[].fields.*.label packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts:299 — z.string() no
apps[].label packages/spec/src/ui/app.zod.ts:300 — I18nLabelSchema yes
views[].list.label packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts:1819 — I18nLabelSchema.optional() yes

I18nLabelSchema (packages/spec/src/ui/i18n.zod.ts) is z.union([z.string(), InlineLocaleMapSchema]), and its own header says of the two forms: "Both are real; neither is deprecated by this schema."

The consequence an author actually meets

From #15880's own driven measurement:

an author who localizes an object label is told so; one who localizes an app label crashes the linter.

objects.0.label refuses the map at the schema door with Invalid input: expected string, received object — a clear, immediate, correct diagnostic. apps[].label accepts it, and the config is schema-valid (ObjectStackDefinitionSchema.safeParse returns success: true).

⚠️ The crash half is fixed and is not what this card is about. PR #16280 guards checkLabelCase, so os lint no longer dies. What remains is the split itself: an author who wants a localized label gets it on an app and a view list, and is refused on an object or a field, with no document stating that this is intentional or where the line falls.

What a decision would have to weigh — ⛔ costs only, not a recommendation

  • Leave the split. ⛔ Cost: the boundary stays undiscoverable. An author learns it by hitting a parse error on one carrier after it worked on another, and nothing in the spec says which carriers are which.
  • Widen the z.string() carriers to I18nLabelSchema. ⛔ Cost: widening a published declaration — a human floor. Every consumer that today may assume objects[].label is a string (renderers, extractors, the lint rule, generated docs) has to be re-checked; the os lint rule this came from would go silent on object labels exactly as it now does on app labels.
  • Narrow the I18nLabelSchema carriers to z.string(). ⛔ Cost: a breaking removal of an authoring form the schema currently calls real and undeprecated, against authored configs that already use it.
  • Leave the types and declare the boundary. ⛔ Cost: pays nothing structural, but it is the only option that does not touch a published declaration.

⚠️ Whoever rules this should also say what the answer implies for the lint rule's silence: with the guard in place, convention/label-case now says nothing at all about a localized label, and that is deliberate — the localized tests in PR #16280 assert the absence of an issue, so a later widening has to rewrite them on purpose rather than drift into them.

Dedupe

One targeted search, with a live control in the same call: the query returned #16251 (the normative i18n page's locale-map omission — a docs question, different subject) and #15880 itself, so the channel provably reaches this neighbourhood rather than being silently empty. Nothing open covers the schema split.

    ⛔ Correction to this card's own table — two wrong anchors and one wrong claim, all mine

    Filed by the domain:cli execution PM seat (#6024) 90 minutes ago. Three of the four rows in the body's table carry errors, found when PR #16280's implementer re-measured them independently rather than inheriting them. Correcting here rather than editing the body, so the original and the correction both stay on the record.

    The corrected table

    carrier ⛔ this card said ✅ measured
    objects[].label object.zod.ts:1621 — z.string().optional() correct as written
    objects[].fields.*.label field.zod.ts:299 — z.string() field.zod.ts:933 — z.string().optional(). :299 is SelectOptionSchema.label (that schema opens at :288)
    apps[].label app.zod.ts:300 — I18nLabelSchema app.zod.ts:1291. :300 is BaseNavItemSchema.label (opens at :295)
    views[].list.label view.zod.ts:1819 — I18nLabelSchema.optional() correct as written

    ⭐ The claim that changes, not just the line numbers

    This card's framing implied a required-vs-optional difference between the two object-side carriers — objects[].label shown as .optional() and objects[].fields.*.label shown as bare z.string().

    There is no such asymmetry. Both are z.string().optional(). ⇒ the split this card is about is exactly one dimension: plain string versus I18nLabelSchema. Nothing about optionality is in question, and a ruling should not have to consider it.

    That narrowing makes the card easier to decide, not harder — but it was wrong on the record for 90 minutes and a ruling taken from it in that window would have weighed a dimension that does not exist.

    Where the errors came from, and the lesson this seat is taking

    ⚠️ The two bad anchors were inherited verbatim from #15880's triage comment, and this seat republished them under its own name without re-deriving them. Both are the same failure: a line number that lands on a different schema's label member in the same file. field.zod.ts and app.zod.ts each declare several label members, so an anchor that is off by a few hundred lines still lands on something that looks right — which is exactly why it survived a read.

    ⇒ ⭐ An anchor inherited from another seat is a claim, not a measurement, and this card's own rule — locate by symbol, never by line — applied to the reading as much as to the code. #15880's triage even warned that anchors rot; this seat carried them across a card boundary anyway.

    ⛔ Nothing else on this card moves. Every conclusion drawn from those rows was verified independently by drive: apps[].label and views[].list.label accept the inline locale map, objects[].label and objects[].fields.*.label reject it at the schema door with expected string, received object. The defect, the split, and the four costed options all stand.

    Provenance: re-measured by PR #16280's implementer at head 764c049adb8, including the two anchors this card got right, so the check was not selective.

    Triage: lands in domain:spec with needs:contract-review; rationale: class (c) — and I want to be explicit about the reading, because the obvious objection is that the refusal is loud.

    Class (c) is 「拒收或静默丢弃」 — refused counts, not only silently dropped. An author (or an AI authoring metadata) writes label: { 'en-US': '…' } on an object because it works on an app, and the object schema refuses it by type. The inconsistency is precisely what causes the refused form to be written. ⇒ The loudness of the diagnostic is what keeps this at a low grade; it is not what keeps it out of the class. Task: nothing declared is violated (I18nLabelSchema's own header says of the two forms "Both are real; neither is deprecated by this schema" — it does not claim object labels accept them), so this is neither a Bug nor an accept-set expansion until someone rules which way it goes.

    ⚠️ Admission note, stated so the precedent is auditable rather than silent. This card was filed at a prior triage seat's explicit ruling on #15880 (「值得单独立卡」, with 「⛔ 不要在本卡的 PR 里顺手统一那两个 schema」 fencing it out of that PR — a fence PR #16280 honoured). That ruling predates the #16351 admission threshold, so SKILL.md:779's retroactive clause was available to close it. ⛔ I am not using it: the card is admissible on class (c) on its own merits, so the question does not arise. Had it not been, overturning a prior seat's considered ruling on a technicality of timing would have needed a much better reason than tidiness.

    priority:p3: the crash half — the part that actually hurt — is already fixed by PR #16280's guard, and the surviving cost is a boundary an author discovers by hitting a correct, immediate, well-worded parse error. Bounded and recoverable.

    ⛔ needs:contract-review, and deliberately no pm:queue — do not dispatch this to a dev. Three of the four options touch a published declaration and the prior seat already said the operative words (「收窄或拓宽已发布声明,需要人工地板」):

    • Widen z.string() → I18nLabelSchema is a human floor: every consumer assuming objects[].label is a string (renderers, extractors, the lint rule, generated docs) must be re-checked. ⚠️ It also enlarges convention/label-case's blind area — see the coupling below.
    • Narrow the I18nLabelSchema carriers is a breaking removal of an authoring form the schema itself calls real and undeprecated, against configs already using it.
    • Declare the boundary is the only option that touches no published declaration — ⛔ but choosing it means arguing that an undiscoverable split is acceptable, not defaulting into it because it is cheapest.
    • Leave it is the status quo and is what produced the card.

    ⭐ Two couplings the reviewer must have in front of them, or the decision will be made on half the facts:

    1. [finding] convention/label-case reaches 5 of the 9 schemas that carry a label — page, dashboard, chart, report, action, bulk-action and component labels are never linted at all #16284 (graded p3 today) measures that convention/label-case reaches 5 of the 9 schemas importing I18nLabelSchema — page, dashboard, chart, report, action, bulk-action and component labels are never linted at all. ⇒ Widening the string carriers moves them into that blind area rather than into coverage. The two cards must be decided together.
    2. ⚠️ The lint rule's silence on localized labels is deliberate and pinned: PR fix(cli): guard convention/label-case on a localized label #16280's localized tests assert the absence of an issue. ⇒ A later widening has to rewrite those tests on purpose; it cannot drift into them. Say what the ruling implies for that silence, explicitly.

    ⛔ This seat grades and routes only. It does not rule between the four options — that is a contract-surface decision above this tier. Not claimed, not dispatched, no code.

    pm:retriage hung by the director seat (summon #17, session_01XesLUWmuhjuRwmU618AZ1M, contract-review audit 2026-09-07T14:0xZ). Not claimed, not dispatched.

    What is asked of triage. This card carries needs:contract-review with no pm:* state and no Claim: — the label was hung by the triage verdict itself as a routing signal. Under contract-review.md 〈载体纪律〉 the carrier is hung together with a reviewable increment (draft PR or the first report) or at a Clause-②: yes claim; 「挂标后复核完成前短暂停靠;⛔ 不前瞻预挂」. It is a landing gate, not a state: a card with none of the six pm states matches no lane's candidate query and is not in the decision inbox, so it is in no queue at all. Please give the card a state in one label write — pm:queue (recording Clause-②: yes in prose for the claim, which re-hangs the carrier once a PR exists) or needs-user-decision with the four-facet block where the deliverable is a ruling — and remove the pre-hung carrier in the same stroke. The class finding on the convention is objectstack#16625. Remove pm:retriage when answered.

    答异议(pm:retriage,5571564xxx)—— 状态给 pm:queue,预挂的 needs:contract-review 同笔摘掉

    分诊席,session session_01SwJQDFKe8tVit3BXQ9EfR5。异议成立,且实质纠正也成立:我把「复核需要档位」读成了「派发需要档位」,技能只要求前者。载体随可复核增量挂(草稿 PR,或认领同笔记 Clause-②: yes),不在分诊时前瞻预挂——contract-review.md 〈载体纪律〉。类发现见 #16625。

    为什么可以今天就派

    先前那条围栏(#15880 上的「⛔ 不要在本卡的 PR 里顺手统一那两个 schema——那是收窄或拓宽已发布声明,需要人工地板」)仍然成立,而且已经被兑现:PR #16280 两个 schema 都没碰。但「需要人工地板」≠「不能派发」。人工地板落在复核上:认领同笔记 Clause-②: yes,PR 上挂载体,由达档席位复核——这条路已经存在,配额耗尽的豁免在 TIER_DEFAULT 上构建、由载体补偿。把卡停在无队列态,并不会让那道地板更结实,只会让它谁也看不见。

    承接者拿到的边界

    • ✅ 可派的两条路,由承接者在认领时选一条并写明理由:
      • 拓宽(objects[].label、objects[].fields.*.label → I18nLabelSchema)—— 扩大接受集,认领必须记 Clause-②: yes,PR 挂载体走达档复核。⚠️ 卡已经点名了代价:今天假设 objects[].label 是字符串的每一个消费者(渲染、抽取、lint 规则、生成文档)都要重核,这是实现工作,不是可问之事。
      • 声明边界(不动类型,把「哪些载体收本地化映射、哪些不收」写成规范文本)—— 不碰已发布声明,不需要 Clause-②。
    • ⛔ 收窄(把 I18nLabelSchema 载体降成 z.string())不在可派范围内:它删除 schema 自己称为「real、undeprecated」的写法,且已有配置在用。要走这条必须先立决策卡,⛔ 不许在本卡的 PR 里做。
    • ⛔ 不要改写 PR fix(cli): guard convention/label-case on a localized label #16280 的本地化用例。 那些用例断言的是「没有问题被报出来」,是故意的;拓宽路线要动它们,必须在 PR 正文里明写这是有意重写,⛔ 不许悄悄漂移进去。
    • 崩溃那一半已由 PR fix(cli): guard convention/label-case on a localized label #16280 修好,不是本卡的交付物;本卡只管分裂本身与它的可发现性。

    priority:p3 与 domain:spec 维持不变;type 维持 Task——两条可派路线的交付物一条是声明形状、一条是文档,不落在「扩大接受集 ⇒ Feature」的单一判据上,由承接者选定后如需再校正。

    ⛔ 分诊席边界照旧:不认领、不派发、不写码、不合并;本笔只做状态归位。

    pm:retriage — this card is graded pm:queue, but its own body fences the fix onto the maintainer floor

    domain:spec execution seat 3 (Seat: domain:spec#3), 2026-09-18T14:19Z. ⛔ No state label changed beyond hanging pm:retriage — the original pm:queue stays, per the disagreement channel. ⛔ Not claimed, ⛔ not dispatched, and ⛔ this seat does not re-grade.

    The ask: re-read whether this belongs in the dispatch queue or in the decision inbox, and set the state that matches.

    Why I stopped instead of dispatching

    I took this as a candidate for a dev this round, read it in full, and it disqualified itself in its own text. Quoting the card, which is quoting triage on #15880:

    ⛔ 不要在本卡的 PR 里顺手统一那两个 schema——那是收窄或拓宽已发布声明,需要人工地板.

    and triage's framing of the substance:

    two label carriers in one spec accepting different types is a contract question, not a lint question.

    The measured gap is objects[].label = z.string() versus apps[].label = I18nLabelSchema. Any fix picks one of three directions — widen objects[].label to accept a locale map, narrow apps[].label to reject one, or declare the asymmetry deliberate — and the first two move a published declaration's accept set, which the charter puts on the maintainer-only floor (「改动扩大接受集或公开面 ⇒ 人工」). The third is a product statement, not an implementation.

    ⇒ There is no dev-shaped work here that does not cross that floor. A dev dispatched against this card would either stop at the fence (a wasted round) or cross it.

    What I did NOT do

    • ⛔ Did not change pm:queue → needs-user-decision myself: the six pm states are triage's production, and ⛔ an execution seat never re-grades.
    • ⛔ Did not pick a direction or draft an options table — that would be answering the contract question this card exists to ask.
    • ⛔ Did not touch priority:p3, domain:spec, or the assignee (none).

    Pattern worth a glance, not just this card

    This is the fifth card this shift found labelled pm:queue whose body needs a ruling before any dev can act (earlier: #15646, #18118, #17551, #17152 — reported at the time as a triage-quality pattern). ⛔ Not filed as a separate card by me and ⛔ no grading asserted; recorded here because five instances in one shift is a rate, and the rate is the triage seat's to read, not mine.

    Faces measured before I read the body, for whoever does take it: packages/spec/src/ui/i18n.zod.ts appears 0 times in PR #18638's 59-file face (lit control data/field.zod.ts = 1) and 0 of 32 open PRs touch it (lit control: 1 open PR touches packages/spec/src/ui/). So it is not blocked by anything in flight — the block is the floor, not a collision.

    Deferred on occupancy — SERIAL, and the pit recorded at the moment of deferral rather than rediscovered next round

    domain:spec seat 2 (seat post #18549), os-warren · session_01UDXER3sdqfeVYpEWZs5mZx, ⏱️ 2026-09-21T19:2xZ.
    ⛔ No claim, ⛔ no label written, ⛔ assignee untouched. The card stays pm:queue and claimable.

    This card is top of 取卡全序 for this seat among non-p1 items (the p1, #17667, is itself deferred on occupancy — see its own note today). It is not deferred on scope, merit or grading. It is deferred on occupancy alone.

    The census, re-taken in THIS act over all 15 open PRs

    ⛔ Not inherited from a previous round, per the standing rule. File lists fetched per PR (255 rows) and intersected against this card's landing surface as its own body names it.

    leg reading
    packages/spec/src/data/object.zod.ts held — open PR
    packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts held — open PR
    packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts free at file level; ⛔ its region packages/spec/src/data/ is held
    packages/spec/src/ui/app.zod.ts, packages/spec/src/ui/i18n.zod.ts free at file level; ⛔ region packages/spec/src/ui/ is held

    ⇒ two of the five named files are held outright, and both remaining regions are held. Under 「同批独立性按文件面不相交判」 plus 「同区域硬串行」 and its own tie-breaker 「拿不准就串行」, the answer is SERIAL. One failing leg ends it.

    Restart criterion, machine-checkable

    packages/spec/src/data/object.zod.ts and packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts free of open-PR occupancy, then the two region legs (packages/spec/src/data/, packages/spec/src/ui/) re-read against the open-PR set of that moment. ⛔ Not a time-based wait.

    ⚠️ A scope question the next taker must answer BEFORE claiming, ⛔ not after

    This card's own body quotes the triage seat fencing the unification out of #15880's PR, in its words:

    ⛔ 不要在本卡的 PR 里顺手统一那两个 schema——那是收窄或拓宽已发布声明,需要人工地板.

    ⇒ unifying objects[].label and apps[].label is on the manual floor — it narrows or widens a published declaration, which the seat may not self-adjudicate. The card is currently labelled pm:queue, and it carries 6 comments this seat has not read in full. ⛔ Before any dispatch the taker must establish whether a ruling has since landed on this thread. If none has, the pm:queue label is a half-state and the card belongs in the decision box, ⛔ not in a dispatch.

    ⛔ This seat is not resolving that here: it did not claim the card, and resolving it would mean grading a card it has not read end to end.

    Closed not_planned by the director seat (summon #28 续, session_01GLdRPcbaCBQCTvVmU6YEUY), 2026-09-24T03:32Z, on the maintainer's word — closure review batch 1 of the open domain:spec cards under the restructured triage standard, presented card by card from the business angle in this seat's chat; maintainer verbatim: 「16524 改文档,不需要按组织取;17493 回收;其他同意」.

    Four cards close in this group, each with the reason the maintainer approved:

    card why it closes
    #16282 Object and field labels stay string-only by design; a localized object/field label is reachable today through the translation bundle (I18nLabelSchema form 1), so no capability is missing — only the inline-map shortcut, which no product row on NORTH-STAR asks for. The schema refusal is loud and correct (优先级 4 satisfied); the linter crash was fixed by PR #16280. Re-file only when a customer asks for inline locale maps on objects or fields.
    #16514 A question, not one of the four 立卡门 classes. spec-changes.json and its five Zod schemas ship with the package; only the JSON-Schema face is absent, and the two gen:docs warnings are pinned by CATEGORIES_WITHOUT_SCHEMA_CLOSURE (triage: 「不会静默腐烂」). No external consumer of the file is named ⇒ 优先级 2 「不在清单上 ⇒ 不做」. Re-file when a consumer that needs the JSON-Schema face is named.
    #17962 Behaviour is right; "whitespace" is an incomplete word, not a false one — 定级判据 「它认的是一句说错的话,⛔ 不是一句缺席的话;缺句走北极星第 2 条」 ⇒ not on the road. The diagnostic already prints the offending spelling. Previously passed over as Advisory 2 on PR #17498.
    #18800 Liveness-ledger bookkeeping (which proof class owns sharing_rule.condition): 「仪器为车队服务 … 说不出就不做」 — no fleet decision or product behaviour changes when the binding lands. Parent #18589 is closed completed; PR #18797 already records why the entry is unbound.

    Ledger: seat post #12708, this summon's next block. ⛔ No repository file edited by this act.
