spec(ui): ViewFilterRule.operator's input type is unknown (a z.preprocess); type it as the canonical ViewFilterOperator, or admit the alias spellings? (the last site of #19920's family)

This card carries item 2 of #19920's remainder (seat 4's release 5865019059): the input type of ViewFilterRule.operator. #19920 keeps items 1 and 3, which PR #20448 implements, and it closes with that PR. Filed by domain:spec seat 1 (session_01B3TqpoQbTAfG7G74GMDWNW, seat post #6017) from the #19920 dev report (open_questions[0]). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading are triage's.

Seat 4's release, verbatim: 「⚠️ Not mechanical: whether the input type admits the legacy spellings the preprocess folds is a contract choice. The next claimant raises it as a fork, or asks triage.」

What happens (the dev's reading, at `origin/main` `0283cb924`)

ViewFilterRuleSchema.operator is z.preprocess(normalizeFilterOperator, z.enum(VIEW_FILTER_OPERATORS)) (packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts ~:923). zod 4.6 types a preprocess's INPUT as its function's parameter, and normalizeFilterOperator takes unknown. So { field: 'status', operator: 42 } compiles as a ViewFilterRule, and as a rule on every carrier (ListView.filter, tab filters, Page.filterBy), while the door refuses it at parse time. This is finding class (b): a published type whose TSDoc declares a shape the type does not carry. It is the last open site of the #19920 family: the compiler-API census at PR #20448's head reads it as the family's only remaining site.

Measured authors of the legacy spellings the fold accepts (the dev's census)

objectstack examples: 0 on a view-filter carrier (19 canonical operators in 8 files). The one legacy-looking hit, operator: 'ne' in app-showcase invoice.object.ts, is a lookupFilters entry, which is a separate closed dialect.
objectstack non-test code: 0. Every other hit is another dialect: lookup filters, auth where, skill trigger conditions, analytics.
objectui at the pin f8a9d0fb: the filter builder emits camelCase ids, and 13 of its 22 option values are alias-table keys. But both producers typed against spec's ViewFilterRule (viewFilterFold.ts:193, ObjectDataPage.tsx) fold through normalizeFilterOperator before typing, so the canonical id reaches the type. At objectui 9f0c84a44 the builder emits the 20 canonical ids only.
Stored sys_metadata rows carry legacy spellings and are read through the runtime parse. None of the options below changes that.

Options

A. Canonical enum only. Type the preprocess function's parameter as ViewFilterOperator: one annotation. The runtime fold is untouched, so stored rows and plain-JS producers still parse. The type is deliberately narrower than the door for alias spellings. The cost is a two-half pin file and a BREAKING-narrowing minor changeset.
B. Enum plus the alias-table spellings. This changes VIEW_FILTER_OPERATOR_ALIASES's published type from a record of string to a literal-keyed type, so consumers that index it with a string need a guard. It still cannot express the case-folded variants the fold accepts (GT, NotIn).
C. Leave it unknown and declare why in ViewFilterRule's TSDoc. The class (b) gap stays open on this key and on every carrier.

The dev's recommendation: A, on the four axes.

Business need: no measured typed author writes an alias, so A breaks nobody and B serves nobody.
Long-term: the alias table's own TSDoc says new producers must emit canonical forms.
AI-safety: under A, a typed author is refused at compile time for an alias or a number.
Startup scope: A is one annotation and retires the aliases from the typed surface at once.

The seat's reading agrees, but the choice is a contract shape, so it is triage's to route.

Dedupe: scanned for ViewFilterRule.operator together with unknown / preprocess / input type. The only carrier found is #19920 itself, whose remainder this card takes over. Dedupe words: ViewFilterRule operator input type unknown · normalizeFilterOperator preprocess input · view filter operator alias type.

Path: write metadata — a typed author meets the declared shape | 缺项 (the last site of #19920's family) | P3

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p3` · `domain:spec` · `area:records` · `pm:queue`. Direction A: type the input as the canonical `ViewFilterOperator`

Triage: lands in packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts (ViewFilterRuleSchema.operator's preprocess) ⇒ domain:spec, the lane and grade of its family card #19920 (p3).

Rationale: a published type whose TSDoc declares a shape the type does not carry is finding class (b). { operator: 42 } compiles as a ViewFilterRule on every carrier while the door refuses it. This is the family's last open site.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T14:04Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

The fork, answered by standing text, so no decision card.

The rule. The stage posture in NORTH-STAR and the skill's 创业阶段聚焦原则 say 「退役立即生效,无过渡窗口、无别名双拼」.
- B would publish the alias spellings as typed input, which is the alias double-spelling that text forbids.
- C leaves the class (b) gap open on every carrier.
The measurement. The dev's census found 0 typed authors of an alias spelling: objectstack examples and code 0, and objectui folds before typing. So A narrows nothing anyone writes.

Execution (A).

Type normalizeFilterOperator's parameter as ViewFilterOperator, as one annotation. The runtime fold is untouched, so stored sys_metadata rows and plain-JS producers still parse.
Add the two-half pin: the type refuses an alias at compile time, and the door still folds it at run time.
Clause-②: yes (a type narrowing), with a BREAKING-narrowing minor changeset. It owes an at-tier contract review.
Serial after PR fix(spec): type ApiError.code and the list overlay options bag #20448 ([finding] four more exported spec types resolve to unknown while their TSDoc promises a shape — ViewMetadataParsed, InlineAction, AssembledViewArtifact, JoinedReportBlock (the #19871 class, other sites) #19920 items 1 and 3), which is in the same file family.

File surface, per triage 5871538633 (direction A):

packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts: the input type of ViewFilterRuleSchema.operator's preprocess (~~:923) becomes the canonical ViewFilterOperator; normalizeFilterOperator (~~:340) changes only if the dev measures that its own parameter type is the smallest correct site (it is exported, so its callers are measured first);
the two-half pin beside it in packages/spec/src/ui/ (the type refuses an alias or a number at compile time; the door still folds an alias at run time);
generator-regenerated artefacts, never by hand; .changeset/20450-*.md.
(stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate; default tier because the change narrows a published type and its exported callers must be measured). The at-tier contract review is owed before enqueue.
Clause-②: yes

Serial constraints cleared: read at 2026-09-28T16:51Z against origin/main 8e02859185. The triage-named predecessor PR fix(spec): type ApiError.code and the list overlay options bag #20448 ([finding] four more exported spec types resolve to unknown while their TSDoc promises a shape — ViewMetadataParsed, InlineAction, AssembledViewArtifact, JoinedReportBlock (the #19871 class, other sites) #19920 items 1 and 3) merged at 2026-09-28T14:58Z as cf559147b2. Open PR feat(spec): declare the console's round-trip keys on the stored view wire (#20456) #20474 (spec(ui)+objectui: declare the console's round-trip keys on the stored view overlay (#20051 stage ii, ruling 甲) #20456, seat 4, draft) edits view.zod.ts from ~:5060 (the view item and overlay wire), disjoint from ~:340 and ~:923: ordinary same-file concurrency, the later lander merges. [Decision] what 「is empty」 means on a text column and on a multi-value column: null only (the spec's lowering today), or null OR '' / [] — three objectui builders disagree, and a stored sharing rule's rows depend on the answer #20311 (PR feat(spec): declare the staged $empty filter operator and its per-type expansion (#20311) #20442) edits data/filter.zod.ts, not the view-filter dialect. No other open PR touches view.zod.ts (open-PR file lists read at this stamp). Same axis area:records: this seat's in-flight [finding] a misspelt field name in a field's relatedListColumns, lookupColumns, lookupFilters[].field or dependsOn passes every authoring door, and fails only at view or picker time #20432 (packages/lint) and finding(metadata-protocol): a query carrying groupBy / aggregations silently drops search — grouped counts under a search are the unsearched counts #20358 (data-engine.zod.ts, metadata-protocol, objectql) have disjoint file surfaces.

The runtime fold and refusal are byte-identical. PM hypothesis 2 held: normalizeFilterOperator is exported, and its callers pass raw strings or unknown (lint validate-preset-comparands.ts:634, rest view-filter-rule-lowering.ts:72, conversions registry.ts :10984/:11060/:11167/:11187, spec filter-rule-array.ts:152, and 6 objectui files at the pin), so I left its signature unchanged and chose the preprocess input at :923 as the site.

Hypothesis 3 held (0 non-test typed alias producers in-repo, 0 in objectui at dd3f7e1be3, and no test fixture needed an escape because they already go through .parse/.safeParse).

Seat's answer to the dev report's open_questions — PR #20503 · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-28T20:01Z

Neither question splits product semantics or a public contract shape, so both are the seat's to answer (SKILL.md 〈升级与决策〉). The maintainer may veto before landing.

Q1 — the Clause-② line: A, Clause-②: no (narrowing).
- scripts/pm/clause2-line.mjs (the arm docblock) reads the value as 「本卡放宽接受集或扩大公开面吗」 and defines no (narrowing) as "NOT a widening, but breaking". It defines yes (narrowing) only for a diff that widens one surface and narrows another.
- This diff adds no export and widens no accept set; it narrows the typed input only. The family precedents finding(spec): ViewFilterRuleSchema accepts two shapes every consumer refuses, and ObjectGridProps.defaultFilters is z.unknown() so nothing gates it at all — the protocol half of objectui#9050's ruling C′ #19514 and fix(spec): type ApiError.code and the list overlay options bag #20448 and this seat's [finding] a misspelt field name in a field's relatedListColumns, lookupColumns, lookupFilters[].field or dependsOn passes every authoring door, and fails only at view or picker time #20432 declared no (narrowing).
- Correction on the record: triage's execution note (5871538633) and this seat's claim (5874596249) both wrote Clause-②: yes, and that line is wrong. The level (minor), the BREAKING banner and the ADR-0087 marker do not change.
- The dev fixes the changeset line. This seat fixes the PR body line.
Q2 — the ADR-0087 disposition: A, keep registered with the semantic entry view-filter-rule-operator-input-canonical and the FROM → TO table.
- The changeset carries a concrete rewrite: alias to canonical id. check-adr-0087-registration refuses no-migration-prescription on such a body, and ADR-0087 D8 closes type-surface-only to a *.zod.ts diff.
- The entry is the upgrade guide's channel for the alias-to-canonical map that the compiler error does not name.
- The added hand-written entry file is accepted as a declared extension of the claim's file surface.
Next: the at-tier contract review runs on the head that carries the corrected line.

ACCEPT — PR #20503 at head 00a3e0d22e · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-28T20:21Z

The seat reviewed the dev reports 5877444573 (round 1) and 5877521420 (round 2) on this card against GitHub and the diff.

PR shape: draft, base main, first line Fixes #20450, the declaration line Clause-②: no (narrowing) (corrected per the seat's answer 5877491493), assignee os-tesla, 5 files (+288 / −5). The closing-keyword scan finds only #20450.
Diff, read by the seat: triage's direction A (5871538633), landed at the site the dispatch's hypothesis 2 predicted.
- A module-private wrapper foldAuthoredViewFilterOperator(op: ViewFilterOperator) feeds ViewFilterRuleSchema.operator's preprocess. So the typed input on the rule and on every carrier is the canonical ViewFilterOperator.
- The exported normalizeFilterOperator keeps its unknown signature for its string callers (lint, rest, the conversions registry, objectui). The runtime fold and refusal are unchanged.
- Plus the two-half pin, one registered ADR-0087 semantic entry (view-filter-rule-operator-input-canonical) with its generated registry region, and the changeset.
Changeset: @objectstack/spec minor, the BREAKING banner, a FROM → TO table, Clause-②: no (narrowing), registered.
Evidence:
- Before: 42, 'eq' and a Symbol compiled on the rule and three carriers. After: the same 9 lines give exactly 9 errors, and the canonical line stays clean.
- The runtime probe is byte-identical to base.
- Two ablation legs (compile half, runtime half) go red, and each restore is blob-proven.
- Spec: 573 files / 16,794 tests. 14 consumer packages and 5 examples typecheck clean.
- objectui at its pin compiles clean against this spec, with a lit positive control.
- Gates: 88 derived, 87 green, 1 NOT MEASURED (check:type-check-debt, a whole-repo build).
At-tier contract review: 5877746688 on the PR, at CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER, on this head — PASS.
- It settled from code that the narrowing reaches every carrier, that the private wrapper is the right site, and that nothing typed in-repo or in objectui at its pin writes an alias.
- It found the ADR-0087 entry true, the registry region exactly generator output, and the semver line right.
- Its one residue (two prose sentences in the PR body still naming yes) was corrected by this seat in place.
- The seat checked its transcript: served at tier, read-only, one write (that comment).
Findings:
- Four prose sites still spell the old z.preprocess(normalizeFilterOperator, …). The behaviour they describe is still true, because the wrapper delegates to it. Recorded in the PR's Acceptance notes, not filed.
- The case-folded branch reaches only table keys, which is deliberate per the table docblock → dropped.
Landing: when every check on the head is green or a roster skip, this seat runs the pre-landing checks, flips it ready and arms auto-merge.

Landing record — PR #20503 MERGED · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-28T20:54Z

Merged through the merge queue at 2026-09-28T20:52Z as dc0759389a, after the ACCEPT 5877789655 and the at-tier PASS 5877746688.
Verified by content on origin/main dc0759389a, not by the merged flag:
- The two-half pin, the semantic entry 18.view-filter-rule-operator-input-canonical.ts and the changeset are blob-identical to the reviewed head.
- foldAuthoredViewFilterOperator is present in packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts.
Closing: Fixes #20450 closed this card as completed; pm:dispatched is removed in this act. This closes the last open site of the [finding] four more exported spec types resolve to unknown while their TSDoc promises a shape — ViewMetadataParsed, InlineAction, AssembledViewArtifact, JoinedReportBlock (the #19871 class, other sites) #19920 family.
