[finding] the flow inspector can save an approval node's escalation: { enabled: false } with no timeoutHours, which the spec contract refuses (at save once objectstack PR #21893 lands) #11660
Filing-gate class ① (a defect with a named location, read from source; not driven in the designer). Filed by objectstack domain:spec seat 1 (session_01T9u38rswFp5Rw8DswRUReJ, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6017). It comes from the at-tier review of objectstack-ai/objectstack#21893 (record 5999441156 on objectstack-ai/objectstack#21850). ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.
What an author sees
In Studio's flow designer, an author opens an approval node's SLA escalation, turns "SLA escalation" off, and saves. The node can carry config.escalation: { enabled: false } with no timeoutHours.
The spec contract refuses that shape: ApprovalEscalationSchema.timeoutHours is z.number().min(1), required whether or not enabled is false.
Either way, the designer produces a node the platform refuses.
Where
packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/flow-node-config.ts at the pin 0abd4f9f8769 (about :996-1000). escalation.timeoutHours carries showWhen: { field: 'escalation.enabled', equals: ['true'] }, so the field hides once escalation is switched off. Nothing then removes the escalation block or keeps a timeoutHours value in it.
The objectstack side: packages/spec/src/automation/approval.zod.ts (ApprovalEscalationSchema, timeoutHours required). Its docblock says the feature switch "is whether an escalation block exists at all".
Fix direction (not ruled)
Switching escalation off either removes the escalation block, which the spec treats as the feature switch, or keeps a timeoutHours the author can see. A pin round-trips an inspector-authored approval node through ApprovalNodeConfigSchema, with escalation on and with escalation off.

Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/flow-node-config.ts (the approval escalation rows, about :996–:1000) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: the inspector can write a shape the spec refuses (ApprovalEscalationSchema.timeoutHours is required).
Direction: the card's first option. Turning escalation off removes the escalation block, which the spec's docblock names as the feature switch ("whether an escalation block exists at all").
⛔ No hidden timeoutHours kept behind a disabled toggle.
⛔ No enabled: false stub.
Pins: an inspector-authored approval node round-trips through ApprovalNodeConfigSchema with escalation on (all values) and off (no block).

pm:retriage: the direction conflicts with the maintainer ruling on objectui#6499. The seat holds the PR.
From the domain:ui execution seat 1 (session_015W8GBu6sBiqus2L2xjMsAL), which claimed this card (6000249837). This is a request for the triage seat to re-grade. It is not a re-grade, and the original labels stay.
What is asked. Re-grade the direction in 6000059097 against objectui#6499. Answer one of:
a direction that satisfies both rulings, for example the one below; or
Triage's direction (6000059097) is: "Turning escalation off removes the escalation block … ⛔ No hidden timeoutHours kept behind a disabled toggle."
The maintainer ruled on objectui#6499 on 2026-08-27 (recorded in 5434680405, verbatim 「同意」), Option C. The ruling text:
Ruled: hidden-but-stored dependent values are KEPT; the inspectors render an explicit "inactive values retained" affordance so the author can see and clear them deliberately. Render-layer change only — ⛔ no save-path change, no data deletion, and the dispatch order must forbid touching isFieldVisible's stored-value re-show rule. Coverage is all showWhen groups in the metadata-admin inspectors, per the card.
The same record also says: "Fallback B (prune-at-toggle-with-confirm) not needed; ⛔ A (prune on save) is rejected — it silently discards config an author entered".
The escalation block was that card's own measured example: an author fills escalation, switches it off, and the values stay.
The work on this card's branch does what that ruling rejects: switching the toggle off deletes, without a confirm, every value the author entered. The branch is claude/issue-11660-escalation-off-removes-block @ 7f87a5d, reported in 6002688312. When a block holding timeoutHours, action, escalateTo and notifySubmitter is switched off, all four are deleted with the block. That was measured live and is pinned. The dev flagged this conflict in the report's open_questions.
Why removing the block is not the only spec-conforming fix
The spec allows an explicit off inside a block.@objectstack/spec 17.6.0 ApprovalEscalationSchema.enabled (objectstack#12278, maintainer ruling 2026-08-27) is described as: "an escalation block carrying timeoutHours is live unless this is explicitly false — the feature-level switch is whether the escalation block exists at all". So { enabled: false, timeoutHours: 24 } is a conforming off. The seat measured ApprovalNodeConfigSchema.safeParse on the installed 17.6.0:
{ enabled: false, timeoutHours: 24 } parses;
{ timeoutHours: 24 } parses;
no block parses;
{ enabled: false } and { enabled: true } both fail at escalation.timeoutHours.
The runtime reads that off. objectstack main, plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts (about :4904), skips the sweep on esc.enabled === false.
The refused shape is narrower than "off as a block". It is a block without timeoutHours. The card's defect is the bare stub { enabled: false }, which the inspector wrote because the switch drew ON over a node with no block.
A direction the seat reads as satisfying both rulings (for triage to accept, change or reject)
No block reads off. This is the read half of the branch. It deletes nothing and stands on its own.
Switching off where the block holds no timeoutHours writes no block. Nothing entered is lost, so no { enabled: false } stub is ever written.
Clearing the last retained value of an off block removes the block. This is already on the branch.
Open edge for triage: a block holding values but no timeoutHours (for example { enabled: true, action: 'reassign' } before hours are typed). It is refused either way, so say what switching it off should do.
State while this waits
No PR is open. The dev's four pr_create relays never got a runner. The seat has not opened one, because landing it would carry the conflict.
Kept: the branch, the claim, pm:dispatched and the assignee.
Re-dispatch: once triage answers, the seat sends a patch round on this branch.

Triage answers pm:retriage (6002793865) with option 1: the seat's direction is accepted. This amends my 6000059097
Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-05T21:52Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. The claim, pm:dispatched and the assignee stay as they are.
Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/flow-node-config.ts (the approval escalation rows) and FlowNodeInspector.tsx (setField) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: the inspector must not write a shape the spec refuses, and must not delete values the author entered.
This amends my 6000059097
My direction there was to remove the escalation block on switch-off, with "⛔ No hidden timeoutHours kept behind a disabled toggle". That contradicts the maintainer's ruling on objectui#6499 (5434680405, Option C): hidden-but-stored values are kept, with ⛔ no data deletion. I graded without reading that ruling.
I re-checked the two facts the seat's reading rests on, and both hold:
The spec allows an explicit off. On objectstack main, ApprovalEscalationSchema.enabled says a block carrying timeoutHours "is live unless this is explicitly false". So { enabled: false, timeoutHours: N } is a conforming off.
Clearing the last retained value removes the block. This is already on the branch.
The open edge: a block with values but no timeoutHours (for example { enabled: true, action: 'reassign' } before the hours are typed).
Switching it off is the same as 3: the values stay and enabled: false is written.
The block was refused at escalation.timeoutHours before the switch and stays refused after it. The switch neither creates that refusal nor hides it, and the save names the field.
⛔ No timeoutHours default is filled in. That would manufacture a value the author did not enter.
⛔ No deletion.
Pins:
An inspector-authored node round-trips through ApprovalNodeConfigSchema in two states. With escalation on, every value survives. With escalation off and values retained, the node carries enabled: false and every value is identical.
Switching off with nothing entered leaves no escalation key.
The edge in 5 keeps its values and gains no timeoutHours.
The branch's pins that assert a full block is deleted on switch-off flip to assert that the values are kept.
Why triage answers this rather than the maintainer
This direction keeps #6499 exactly as ruled and only narrows what my grade asked for. Nothing in #6499 is amended. If a later reading wants switch-off to delete entered values, that is an amendment to #6499, and only the maintainer can make it.
Priority is unchanged (p2).pm:retriage is removed, and nothing else changes.

"Patch round 1 from 7f87a5d: one commit on top, 2f7d398, with no rebase, amend or force-push. What it changed in the earlier commits: 930c7a7's switch-commit-removes-block branch in setField is gone, so the plain write keeps entered values, and only the bare-stub removal stays. The BLOCK_SWITCHES and isBareSwitchedOffBlock docs, the offline-row comment, the inactiveRetained pin comment and the changeset no longer say 'no block is the only conforming off'. The full-block, omits-enabled and round-trip pins flipped to values-kept, and the rule-2, rule-5 and rule-4-after-rule-3 cases were added. Kept as they were: the read half (readFieldValue), 161e28c's rename, and 7f87a5d's declaredDefault case. The inactiveRetained moved pin still reads right under rule 4: Clear of the last value of {enabled:false, timeoutHours:24} still expects no block; only its comment was reworded.",

The merge: it went through the merge queue as squash commit 9f3ed7b (one parent, 846f982), an ancestor of origin/main. Its +/- lines are identical to the PR head 2f7d398 diffed from its merge base: 6 files, +561/−5.
What landed is triage's amended direction 6003792818. It keeps the maintainer ruling on objectui#6499 (Option C), so switching off keeps entered values beside enabled: false. The first grade 6000059097, which deleted them, did not land.

pm:retriage: the direction conflicts with the maintainer ruling on objectui#6499. The seat holds the PR.From the
domain:uiexecution seat 1 (session_015W8GBu6sBiqus2L2xjMsAL), which claimed this card (6000249837). This is a request for the triage seat to re-grade. It is not a re-grade, and the original labels stay.What is asked. Re-grade the direction in
6000059097against objectui#6499. Answer one of:The conflict
Triage's direction (
6000059097) is: "Turning escalation off removes theescalationblock … ⛔ No hiddentimeoutHourskept behind a disabled toggle."The maintainer ruled on objectui#6499 on 2026-08-27 (recorded in
5434680405, verbatim 「同意」), Option C. The ruling text:The same record also says: "Fallback B (prune-at-toggle-with-confirm) not needed; ⛔ A (prune on save) is rejected — it silently discards config an author entered".
The escalation block was that card's own measured example: an author fills escalation, switches it off, and the values stay.
The work on this card's branch does what that ruling rejects: switching the toggle off deletes, without a confirm, every value the author entered. The branch is
claude/issue-11660-escalation-off-removes-block@7f87a5d, reported in6002688312. When a block holdingtimeoutHours,action,escalateToandnotifySubmitteris switched off, all four are deleted with the block. That was measured live and is pinned. The dev flagged this conflict in the report'sopen_questions.Why removing the block is not the only spec-conforming fix
@objectstack/spec17.6.0ApprovalEscalationSchema.enabled(objectstack#12278, maintainer ruling 2026-08-27) is described as: "an escalation block carrying timeoutHours is live unless this is explicitly false — the feature-level switch is whether the escalation block exists at all". So{ enabled: false, timeoutHours: 24 }is a conforming off. The seat measuredApprovalNodeConfigSchema.safeParseon the installed 17.6.0:{ enabled: false, timeoutHours: 24 }parses;{ timeoutHours: 24 }parses;{ enabled: false }and{ enabled: true }both fail atescalation.timeoutHours.main,plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts(about:4904), skips the sweep onesc.enabled === false.timeoutHours. The card's defect is the bare stub{ enabled: false }, which the inspector wrote because the switch drew ON over a node with no block.A direction the seat reads as satisfying both rulings (for triage to accept, change or reject)
timeoutHourswrites no block. Nothing entered is lost, so no{ enabled: false }stub is ever written.enabled: falseand keeps them. This is metadata-admin inspectors: showWhen-hidden fields keep their stored values on save — the UI manufactures declared-off-but-live config shapes #6499's Option C, and the shape conforms to the spec. The existing "inactive values retained" display and its Clear action carry it.timeoutHours(for example{ enabled: true, action: 'reassign' }before hours are typed). It is refused either way, so say what switching it off should do.State while this waits
pr_createrelays never got a runner. The seat has not opened one, because landing it would carry the conflict.pm:dispatchedand the assignee.domain:uiexecution seat 1 @ objectui ·session_015W8GBu6sBiqus2L2xjMsAL· 2026-10-05T20:57Z.Generated by Claude Code

6000059097My direction there was to remove the
escalationblock on switch-off, with "⛔ No hiddentimeoutHourskept behind a disabled toggle". That contradicts the maintainer's ruling on objectui#6499 (5434680405, Option C): hidden-but-stored values are kept, with ⛔ no data deletion. I graded without reading that ruling.I re-checked the two facts the seat's reading rests on, and both hold:
main,ApprovalEscalationSchema.enabledsays a block carryingtimeoutHours"is live unless this is explicitly false". So{ enabled: false, timeoutHours: N }is a conforming off.plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts(about:4904) skips the sweep onesc.enabled === false. A retained off block is therefore inert, which is the premise metadata-admin inspectors: showWhen-hidden fields keep their stored values on save — the UI manufactures declared-off-but-live config shapes #6499's "keep" rests on.Direction (replaces the one in
6000059097){ enabled: false }stub is ever written, and that stub is this card's defect.enabled: falseand keeps every value. The existing "inactive values retained" display and its Clear action carry them (metadata-admin inspectors: showWhen-hidden fields keep their stored values on save — the UI manufactures declared-off-but-live config shapes #6499 Option C).timeoutHours(for example{ enabled: true, action: 'reassign' }before the hours are typed).enabled: falseis written.escalation.timeoutHoursbefore the switch and stays refused after it. The switch neither creates that refusal nor hides it, and the save names the field.timeoutHoursdefault is filled in. That would manufacture a value the author did not enter.Pins:
ApprovalNodeConfigSchemain two states. With escalation on, every value survives. With escalation off and values retained, the node carriesenabled: falseand every value is identical.escalationkey.timeoutHours.Why triage answers this rather than the maintainer
This direction keeps #6499 exactly as ruled and only narrows what my grade asked for. Nothing in #6499 is amended. If a later reading wants switch-off to delete entered values, that is an amendment to #6499, and only the maintainer can make it.
Priority is unchanged (p2).

"summary": "Patch round 1, implemented to triage's amended direction (6003792818). The SLA escalation switch never writes the bare {enabled:false} block that ApprovalNodeConfigSchema refuses. Switching off a block that holds values keeps them beside enabled:false, byte-identical, and the objectui#6499 Option C retained display carries them. Switching off with nothing entered, or clearing the last retained value, writes no block. No block reads off. A block with values but no timeoutHours keeps its values, gets no hours filled in, and stays refused at escalation.timeoutHours, exactly as before the switch. The code is the ordinary setAtPath write plus one rule: a write that leaves the bare stub removes the block. Draft PR #11661 is open, assigned to os-steve, head 2f7d398.",

LIVE setup: objectstack main cab63967 in its own detached worktree (closure built under the lock); showcase app with --fresh on port 4061; console from this branch on port 5261; the engine descriptors rendered. Rule 3: switching off a published {enabled:true, timeoutHours:24, action:'reassign', escalateTo:'sre_lead', notifySubmitter:false} autosaved enabled:false with every value and sibling, 200; the node reads off with 4 retained notices, both right away and on reopen; after publish (200) a run went start success -> gate success -> paused. Rule 2: on autosaved {enabled:true} and got 422 at escalation.timeoutHours; off left 'No changes to save'; a forced label save sent no escalation key and got 200. Rule 5: picking Action Reassign without hours sent {enabled:true, action:'reassign'} -> 422; off sent {enabled:false, action:'reassign'} -> 422 at the same field; no hours were filled in, and Action is retained (1 notice).

"Patch round 1 from 7f87a5d: one commit on top, 2f7d398, with no rebase, amend or force-push. What it changed in the earlier commits: 930c7a7's switch-commit-removes-block branch in setField is gone, so the plain write keeps entered values, and only the bare-stub removal stays. The BLOCK_SWITCHES and isBareSwitchedOffBlock docs, the offline-row comment, the inactiveRetained pin comment and the changeset no longer say 'no block is the only conforming off'. The full-block, omits-enabled and round-trip pins flipped to values-kept, and the rule-2, rule-5 and rule-4-after-rule-3 cases were added. Kept as they were: the read half (readFieldValue), 161e28c's rename, and 7f87a5d's declaredDefault case. The inactiveRetained moved pin still reads right under rule 4: Clear of the last value of {enabled:false, timeoutHours:24} still expects no block; only its comment was reworded.",
"Zone 2 item 1, measured: opening a node writes nothing, and switching on writes {enabled:true} alone. No action or notifySubmitter default is written by any path (pinned on both sources, and seen live in the sent config). So 'entered values' means any key other than enabled, and the rule never meets a value nobody typed.",
"The pre-PR merge was a no-op again: origin/main is still 846f982 (git merge answered 'Already up to date'), so there is no merge commit.",
"The live backend ran at objectstack main cab63967, which had moved since round 0's 866683f9. The objectstack worktree, backend and console were stopped by their own process groups and removed, and the objectui worktree was removed after the PR opened."
