metadata designer: a report's or dataset's Label in a non-Latin script (or a cleared Label) derives the Name field, where the object designer leaves it empty and asks for one #12789

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate ①: a user-visible authoring defect with a named landing point. reach: a public entry, the console's report and dataset designers in create mode, measured in Chromium against a live backend.

Reader who acts: objectui triage. The landing is the Label handlers' Name derivation in packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/ReportDefaultInspector.tsx and DatasetDefaultInspector.tsx. Filed by domain:ui seat 3 (session_01Vk15bz8xHtKGUfXfCm16h4) from the os-dev report on objectui#12746 (PR #12788), which leaves these lines unchanged. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

  • In create mode, a Label typed in a non-Latin script derives the Name field. Measured with the Label 收入.
  • Clearing the Label also leaves the Name field.
  • The object designer, measured the same way, derives an empty Name in both cases, so the author is asked for one.
  • So a report or dataset authored with a Chinese (or any non-Latin) Label is silently named field. A second one would collide.

Measured

  • Backend: objectstack 66d456d01 examples/app-crm, objectstack dev --seed-admin --fresh, with a writable package com.qa.vrf (namespace qavrf).
  • The console was objectui claude/issue-12746-name-keeps-underscore on Vite. For these Label handlers it is byte-identical to main 3e2c763. Chromium, real keystrokes.
  • On /apps/crm_app/metadata/report/new?package=com.qa.vrf and .../dataset/new?package=com.qa.vrf, the Label 收入 derives the Name field, and so does a cleared Label.
  • Control: on /apps/crm_app/metadata/object/new?package=com.qa.vrf, the same Labels derive an empty Name.

Mechanism (read from source on main)

  • The report and dataset Label handlers derive with toFieldName(v). When the result is empty, it falls back to the string field.
  • nameFollowsLabel compares against the same function.
  • ObjectDefaultInspector derives with slugify, which yields an empty string, so the Name stays empty and must be typed.

Expected

A Label that yields no machine name leaves the report's or dataset's Name empty, as the object designer does, so the author is asked for one. No placeholder name is written silently.

Dedupe (open and closed):

Dedupe words: report dataset Name field non-Latin label, toFieldName field fallback label derivation, CJK label derives name field, label cleared name field.

    Seat: domain:ui#3
    File surface: packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/ReportDefaultInspector.tsx and DatasetDefaultInspector.tsx, the Label handler's Name derivation and the nameFollowsLabel comparison only, so that a Label yielding no machine name leaves the Name empty, as ObjectDefaultInspector.tsx does; a helper in previews/object-fields-io.ts only if an empty-on-empty strict form must be shared from there (⛔ toFieldName's own 'field' fallback is not changed, because other callers rely on it); tests beside each; one .changeset/12789-*.md (stop on breach; explain in the report)
    Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (default tier; dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui over the named paths: no path-derived mandate)
    Clause-②: no (designer only; no export, prop or type changes)
    Responsibility: @object-ui/app-shell's report and dataset designers derive Name from the Label with toFieldName, whose empty result falls back to the string field (object-fields-io.ts:269), so a Label in a non-Latin script, or a cleared Label, names the item field silently | none covers it | every author who labels a new report or dataset in a non-Latin script, measured in Chromium with the Label 收入 by the objectui#12746 dev (PR #12788); the derivations stand on main f114263 (ReportDefaultInspector.tsx:510, DatasetDefaultInspector.tsx:522)

    "summary": "Reproduced first, in Chromium, on unchanged main (worktree at 8df2608, which is f114263 plus one unrelated plugin-detail commit; the derivation lines are the same bytes). The backend was verify-os-12643 (objectstack 66d456d01, examples/app-crm, --fresh, private port 4789) with package com.qa.vrf (namespace qavrf) created by POST /api/v1/packages, which returned 201. The Label 收入 derived the Name field in the report and dataset designers, and a cleared Label left field. The object designer (the control) left the Name empty. Fix (e4b532b): both Label handlers and both nameFollowsLabel comparisons now use toFieldNameOrEmpty, a new function beside toFieldName in previews/object-fields-io.ts. It applies the same strict rule, but returns '' where toFieldName returns 'field'. toFieldName keeps its 'field' fallback: its body is now toFieldNameOrEmpty(raw) || 'field', which returns the same result for every input, and its existing pin ('' and 报修工单 both give field) is unchanged and green. I chose delegation over a second copy of the regex chain so the strict rule has one spelling. If the seat reads the claim as forbidding any edit to toFieldName's body, revert those two lines to the old body; nothing else depends on them. toFieldName's other callers: CreateItemDialog RELIES on the fallback (it treats finalName === 'field' as 'no identifier'). genGroupKey never reaches it (it calls toFieldName only when the label has an ASCII letter or digit). ObjectFormCanvas re-exports toFieldName, and nothing in the repository imports that re-export. After the fix, in Chromium: report and dataset leave the Name empty for 收入 and for a cleared Label, and a Latin Label typed later still derives (revenue_board / revenue_board_q, unchanged). Hypothesis 2: Save on an empty Name sends no request. Report shows 'A name is required.' plus the client spec banner (2 errors: 'Identifier must be at least 2 characters', 'Identifier must be lowercase snake_case, ...'). Dataset shows 'A name is required.' The object control behaves the same. On main, by contrast, the dataset saved silently as field (PUT /api/v1/meta/dataset/field returned 200, 'Saved dataset 'field''), and the report's PUT /report/field was refused only for its missing dataset (422). Deviations: during the second push I wrote one push log beside the worktree, outside the scratchpad, and deleted it at once. A temporary local ref (refs/os-dev/12789-remote, used to check the pushed sha) was created in the shared .git and deleted. My servers (backend PIDs 25642 and 25734, console PIDs 25785 and 25832, plus their pnpm parents) were stopped by PID, the --fresh database is gone, and the worktree was removed.",
    "tests": "New: ReportDefaultInspector.labelLeavesNameEmpty-12789.test.tsx and DatasetDefaultInspector.labelLeavesNameEmpty-12789.test.tsx, five pins each: (1) Label 收入 leaves Name empty in the box and the draft; (2) a cleared Label leaves Name empty; (3) a Name left empty by 收入 follows a later Latin Label; (4) an author-typed field beside 收入 stays after a later Latin Label; (5) control: '2024 Revenue' derives f_2024_revenue and 'Field' derives field. A toFieldNameOrEmpty block is added to object-fields-io.test.ts. Final run at e4b532b, after the closure build, under os-verify-lock (slot 12789): pnpm exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 over every ReportDefaultInspector*, DatasetDefaultInspector* and ObjectDefaultInspector* test, every object-fields-io test, ResourceEditPage.nameSurvivesLabel-12680.test.tsx and both CreateItemDialog tests -> 'Test Files 23 passed (23)', 'Tests 235 passed (235)', vitest exit 0, lock VERDICT command-exit 0. Red on main plus ablations, each leg over the two new files (10 tests), A5 also over object-fields-io.test.ts. Each mutation went through objectstack scripts/ablation-replace.mjs in wrap mode (anchor x1 -> x0, blob changed); each restore was proven with blob == HEAD and an empty git diff HEAD; the final tree had 0 changed paths. R0 (both inspectors replaced by their 8df2608 blobs, blob hash equal to base, OrEmpty count 0; trap restore proven): 8 failed / 2 passed, red on pins 1, 2, 4 and on pin 3 at its first step. A1 (derivation toFieldNameOrEmpty(v) || 'field'): 6 failed / 4 passed (pins 1-3). A2 (comparison (toFieldNameOrEmpty(label) || 'field')): 2 failed / 8 passed (pin 4: received revenue, expected field). A3a (derivation === 'field' ? '' : ...): 2 failed / 8 passed (pin 5: Label Field gave an empty Name). A5 (helper returns 'field' on empty): 9 failed / 41 passed (helper pin plus pins 1-4 in both files). Two legs stayed green, as the PR explains: A3 (derivation swapped for toFieldNameLoose), because both rules trim() first and differ only on trailing punctuation, which objectui#12746's pin 3 covers and which is in the suite run; and A4 (the nameValue === '' arm dropped), because pin 3 holds through the OrEmpty comparison alone. The tests import the inspectors and the helper through relative source paths, so no dist build sits between a mutation and its read.
