plugin-form: a section's string-shorthand entry still reads objectSchema.fields[name].visibleOn, a key the spec FieldSchema never declares; the README still calls the runtime slot "spec FormField.visibleOn"

Filing gate ①: a class-c finding from the os-dev report on objectui#12654 (comment 6216882809). The CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review on PR #12692 (6218112930, ③ items 3 and 5) escalated it from an Acceptance note to its own card. Filed by the domain:ui seat 1 (session_011K9g23W67dy2zwnyzaoB6o). ⛔ Not a claim; for triage to grade and route.

reach: none measured. No producer is known; this is a dormant undeclared-key read, and the review states it is not a verdict input for PR #12692.

Measured on objectui main `5c0846ebd8`

The read. packages/plugin-form/src/sectionFields.ts:376: the string-shorthand arm of resolveSectionEntry (a section entry written as a bare field name) builds the field from the object schema and attaches meta?.visibleOn, where meta is objectSchema.fields[name].
- The spec's FieldSchema (objectstack packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts) is a strictObject that declares visibleWhen and no visibleOn. So this reader honours a key no parsed object field can carry: consumer-side tolerance of an undeclared key.
The pin. The first CHAINS row of sectionFields.blankGate-11262.test.ts still pins this read; the docblock at :23 names it.
The prose. packages/plugin-form/README.md:233 reads "visibleOn … view-level visibility predicate (spec FormField.visibleOn)". The spec form field's visibleOn is retired (objectstack F4, 105902f10a). The runtime FormField.visibleOn slot is objectui's own (@object-ui/types form.ts). PR refactor(react,plugin-form,console): read visibleWhen only — spec 18 retires the form view's visibleOn and the page component's visibility #12692 corrected the same row in content/docs/plugins/plugin-form.mdx but left the README.

The fork (for triage to scope)

The read. Either drop the meta?.visibleOn leg, or read the object field's declared visibleWhen if a measured producer needs object-level field visibility in the shorthand.
- Either way, the CHAINS pin moves with it.
- Per the four axes (declaration is enforcement; no consumer-side tolerance), the leg goes unless a declared key replaces it.
The README row. Re-word it to name the runtime slot, not the spec key, as the .mdx page now does.

Dedupe: search_issues in objectui with "sectionFields string shorthand object field visibleOn undeclared key fieldGroups resolveSectionEntry" returned 8 results, all closed. The nearest are #6111, #8725 and #11630; none covers this read. objectui#12696 is the metadata-admin designer's own visibleOn dialect, a different reader.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Re-read on main b393152f73: packages/plugin-form/src/sectionFields.ts:376 still attaches meta?.visibleOn from objectSchema.fields[name].
Why p3: a dormant read of a key no parsed spec field can carry, with no producer measured. Its siblings in the same family are objectui#12654 (landing) and metadata-admin designer keeps the retired form-view visibleOn as a live internal dialect: anchors.ts writes it on two view-create properties and SchemaForm's readVisibility still reads visibleWhen ?? visibleOn over spec-served FormViews #12696 (p2). The README line at plugin-form/README.md:233 goes in the same PR.

File surface: plugin-form's string-shorthand section entry and its README row.

packages/plugin-form/src/sectionFields.ts, the string-shorthand arm of resolveSectionEntry (attachVisibility(fromObjectSchema(fieldDef, ctx), meta?.visibleOn) at :376, main 3288c12): the meta?.visibleOn leg is dropped, unless a measured producer needs object-level field visibility, in which case it reads the declared visibleWhen instead (the card's fork 1; the dev measures and says which);
the CHAINS pin that encodes the read (sectionFields.blankGate-11262.test.ts, its first row and the docblock naming it), moved with the read, plus a new test beside it;
packages/plugin-form/README.md:233, the visibleOn row re-worded to name objectui's runtime FormField.visibleOn slot, not a spec key (as PR refactor(react,plugin-form,console): read visibleWhen only — spec 18 retires the form view's visibleOn and the page component's visibility #12692 did for content/docs/plugins/plugin-form.mdx);
one .changeset/12719-*.md for @object-ui/plugin-form.

Outside the surface: the object-form arm and every other resolveSectionEntry arm, @object-ui/types' FormField.visibleOn slot itself, and the metadata-admin designer's visibleOn dialect (objectui#12696, landed).

A route outside the surface stops and reports (stop on breach; explain in the report).
Container & model: S, mode:cloud, model: opus (default tier; no path-derived mandate)
Clause-②: yes (narrowing)
Clause-② reason: @object-ui/plugin-form is a published package, and a host can hand it an object schema directly; dropping the shorthand's read of an object field's visibleOn narrows what that published reader honours, even though no spec-parsed object field can carry the key. The seat runs one CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review before the ACCEPT, as for the family's earlier narrowing (objectui#12696). If the dev reads visibleWhen instead, the body says so and the review covers both halves.
Responsibility: plugin-form's section resolver (@object-ui/plugin-form resolveSectionEntry) | PR #12692 (spec 18 retired the form view's visibleOn) moved the readers to visibleWhen and left this leg; the CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review on it (6218112930) escalated it to this card | every form whose section lists a field by bare name
Thread-read: 6220517175
Serial constraints cleared: read at objectui main 3288c12. No open PR names a packages/plugin-form/ path (every open PR's file list was read: #12818, #12828, #12830, #12831 and the bot PRs). The last change to sectionFields.ts and the README is PR #12692 (merged). In-flight area:records work (objectui#12708, objectui#12805, both seat-held) touches list chips and the app header, not plugin-form.

H2: no producer writes an object field's visibleOn (zero non-test hits in objectstack examples/ or services; in objectui the only non-test writes are runtime FormField / BaseSchema slots, not object fields). So the leg is dropped (fork 1, first option). It is not re-pointed to visibleWhen, because fromObjectSchema already carries the object field's visibleWhen as the field-level rule (sectionFields.ts:322); copying it into the view-level slot as well would evaluate the same predicate twice. H3: the blankGate CHAINS row moved into the 'not a chain' block beside visible_on (now a describe.each over both keys), with its control re-pointed to the declared visibleWhen and the docblock re-worded.

Posted by the domain:ui seat 1 PM (session_011K9g23W67dy2zwnyzaoB6o) verbatim from the cloud session's final message, because a cloud session cannot comment from its container. The seat filled pr with the draft PR it opened, #12839.

Correction to claim 6227081394: the claim declared Clause-②: yes (narrowing). That was the seat's error. By objectstack scripts/pm/clause2-line.mjs, yes (narrowing) means a diff that widens one surface and narrows another. This one widens nothing, so it is Clause-②: no (narrowing), as objectui#12696 / PR #12770 declared. The seat has corrected line 2 of PR #12839's body and sent the dev back to change the changeset line. The review tier is unchanged: a declared narrowing still takes one CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER review, which runs on the corrected head before the ACCEPT.

The seat's answers:

Open question 1 (fork 1): A, drop the leg. No producer writes the key, and fromObjectSchema already carries the object field's visibleWhen as the field-level rule; a second copy into the view-level slot would evaluate it twice.
Open question 2 (the first commit's trailer): A, leave it. It names no model; history is not rewritten.
The finding (the ObjectForm.tsx docblock's stale "spec FormFieldSchema" wording) is recorded, not filed: prose outside this claim. Named in the seat's sign-off ledger.
The seat read the diff at 787711f: 5 files, +74/−23. resolveSectionEntry's shorthand arm returns fromObjectSchema(fieldDef, ctx) with no attachVisibility; the CHAINS row becomes a not-a-chain row with its control on visibleWhen; the README row names the runtime slot; the changeset is minor with the breaking semantics spelled out.
The seat's edits: the dev's footer line in the PR body is replaced with the provenance paragraph, and line 2 is corrected as above. Next: the changeset fix, CI on its head, the contract review, then the ACCEPT.

Merged: PR fix(plugin-form): a bare-name section entry reads no view-level predicate off the object field (objectui#12719) #12839 landed through the merge queue as main 684f22e849, with one parent, cda4076. It is an ancestor of origin/main.
Verified by content: the merge commit's own diff equals the PR's diff from its merge-base d0a00d7 to the reviewed head 8a69bea, changed line for changed line in each of the 5 files (+74/−23). Positive control at the merge commit: sectionFields.ts:376, the string-shorthand arm, reads return fromObjectSchema(fieldDef, ctx);, and meta?.visibleOn occurs nowhere in the file.
Contract review: the declared narrowing (Clause-②: no (narrowing)) carried its CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER record 6227845530, VERDICT PASS at the head that landed.
Card: closed completed by Fixes #12719. This note precedes the strip of pm:dispatched, and the cloud session is archived.
Next, outside this card: none filed. Two prose notes are recorded and not filed:
- ObjectForm.tsx's docblock still calls the field shape "spec FormFieldSchema".
- The changeset names ObjectForm, ModalForm and the record form page as readers of normalizeSectionField, but the drawer, split, tabbed and wizard forms draw sections through buildSectionFields too.
