console: list quick-search and the record picker offer search on an object with no searchable field, which objectstack now answers 400 INVALID_FIELD (objectstack#24284)

Filing-gate category ①: a consumer follow-up owed by landed platform work. The sites are named below.

Reader who acts: objectui triage grades it and routes it to the lane that owns plugin-list, plugin-grid and fields.
Dedupe: two semantic searches over this repository's issues, closed included, found no card for this:
- "list quick search box shown on object with no searchable fields, search returns 400 INVALID_FIELD, hide search when resolved search set is empty": 2 hits;
- "record picker type-ahead search junction object no searchable field searchableFields console": 9 hits.
The nearest are console: ⌘K / full-page search scope silently truncated to the first 8 nav objects #3047 and finding(fields): useRecordQuery commits every answer — a search or filter change while a read is in flight lets the superseded answer land last and replace the current results in LookupField, the people picker and RecordPickerDialog #10713, both closed, and neither is this.

What changed on the platform

objectstack-ai/objectstack#24284 landed as PR objectstack-ai/objectstack#24320 (ec749fbb44 on objectstack main). A non-blank search on an object whose resolved search set is empty now answers 400. Before, it answered 200 with every row, as if everything matched.

That object has no textual or enum stored field and no searchableFields declaration naming one. A junction object made of two lookups and a composed formula title is the common shape. The response carries:

error.code INVALID_FIELD and param: 'search';
a message naming the object and the two remedies: declare searchableFields naming a stored field, or mirror the composed title onto a stored text field.

The console's sites, read at the pinned `.objectui-sha` `0707b4ae37`

packages/plugin-list/src/ListView.tsx, about line 1607: showSearch: ua?.search !== false && !searchlessViewOnScreen. The quick-search box is shown unless userActions.search === false, and nothing consults the object's resolved search set.
packages/fields/src/widgets/useRecordQuery.ts, about line 200: the record picker sets params.$search from the typed term.
packages/plugin-grid/src/ObjectGrid.tsx, about lines 2955–2962: the grid sends $search, and sends $searchFields only when the view declares searchableFields.
packages/data-objectstack/src/index.ts, about line 4925: $search goes out as GET /api/v1/data/OBJECT?search=TERM.

So on such an object the console offers a search that the server now refuses.

Expected

The console hides quick-search and the picker's type-ahead when the object's resolved search set is empty. resolveSearchFieldResolution from @objectstack/spec/data gives that set, read over the object schema with internal: true fields left out (the set the engine scans).
Where a search box still shows, the console renders the refusal's message, never an empty or unchanged list.

It becomes user-visible once this repo's objectstack pin is at or past ec749fbb44.

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

Fresh read on objectui origin/main:
- packages/plugin-list/src/ListView.tsx:1624 is showSearch: ua?.search !== false && !searchlessViewOnScreen, which consults no resolved search set;
- objectstack ec749fbb44 (PR fix(objectql)!: a search over an object with no searchable field is refused with 400 INVALID_FIELD, not answered as every row objectstack#24320) is on objectstack main.
  The premise holds.
Grade p1 + target:v18. This is the paired console half of metadata-protocol / objectql: a search term on an object with no searchable field is dropped silently, so the read answers every row (an empty auto-default search set is not refused) objectstack#24284 (p1 + target:v18, a read-door narrowing). The search box becomes an error on the first release that carries the 400, so it rides the release order 「发版本优先的都p1」.
Release coupling, for the record: the console the framework vendors at 0707b4ae37 does not carry this fix. So the next framework cut ships the 400 beside a search box that still shows on such objects. The reach is narrow (objects with no textual, enum or declared search field), and the answer is loud rather than silently wrong. So this seat does not hold the release on it, but the card should land before GA.

The decision is the spec's resolveSearchFieldResolution over the object definition, with internal: true fields left out and the OBJECT's own searchableFields, the same inputs as ObjectQL.expandSearchOnAst. A term restored at mount is not applied on such an object. A refused search on a list (the request carried a term, code INVALID_FIELD) shows the server's sentence instead of the generic rejected copy. The pickers and ObjectGrid already rendered err.message. A1: spec 18.0.0-next.3 exports the resolver with the engine's signature. A2: an unknown schema keeps the box at every site. ListView draws the box until the definition read lands and withdraws it on a searchless object. Gating the box until the read settled broke app-shell listViewGroupedSearch-11021, which is outside the surface, so I chose keep-until-known. A3: data-objectstack's raw GET already throws message + code + status; data-objectstack is unchanged. Deviation from pin (c): a VIEW-level searchableFields does not make a searchless object searchable, because the ingress gate and the linter refuse it outside the object's allowed set.

PR #12974 at head 3a00b9a, reviewed against the claim 6251046193, triage 6250756674 and the dev report 6251821984.

What changed: ListView's quick-search box, RecordPickerDialog's search box and LookupField's inline type-ahead are not offered on an object whose search resolves to no field. The decision is the spec's own resolveSearchFieldResolution (@objectstack/spec/data, exported by the pinned 18.0.0-next.3 with the engine's signature) over the object definition, with internal: true fields left out and the object's own searchableFields: the same inputs as the engine's expandSearchOnAst. A search term restored at mount is not applied on such an object. A refused list search (a term sent, INVALID_FIELD) shows the server's sentence instead of the generic rejection copy; the pickers and ObjectGrid already rendered the error's message, and data-objectstack already carried message, code and status, so it is unchanged.
Unknown schema: every site keeps today's box until the object definition is known. ListView draws the box until the definition read lands and then withdraws it on a searchless object. Holding the box back until the read settled broke an app-shell test outside the surface, so keep-until-known was chosen.
Seat answer to the dev's open question (pin (c)): option A, as landed. Only the object's own searchableFields counts. The claim's ruling said "exactly as the resolver says", and the engine's assertSearchFieldsAreSearchable and the linter's searchable-field-unsearchable both refuse a view-level list outside the object's allowed set. So a view's list cannot make an empty set searchable, and drawing a box for it would only draw a control the runtime refuses. Pin (c) is pinned at the object level, and the view-level form is pinned as not drawing.
Accepted, noted: plugin-list carries a twin of @object-ui/fields' objectResolvesSearch adapter (the field-shape normalisation around the same spec call) rather than importing it, because importing would need a new export from @object-ui/fields. The rule's single source is still the spec resolver.
Clause-②: no: searchOffer.ts is not re-exported from @object-ui/fields' entry; no prop or type moves. Changeset @object-ui/plugin-list: patch, @object-ui/fields: patch.
Tests: ListView.searchlessObject-12966 (9) and RecordPickerDialog.searchlessTarget-12966 plus searchOffer.test (13) pin the searchless object, the internal-only object, the object-level declared field, the view-level case not drawing, the restored-term pair, the refusal's message, and controls. Ablation (the showSearch rule reverted) turns the 3 searchless pins red with the controls green; restore proven by blob hash. One existing fixture (ListView.displayPopover-12423, which served fields: {}) gained a text-field declaration. The whole packages/fields (4173 tests) and packages/plugin-list (1540 tests) directories pass; type-check and the pre-tsc battery exit 0.
Acceptance notes, not filed: a standalone ObjectGrid (the grid-owned toolbar search, outside ListView) still offers its box from the view, not the resolver; by source reading its load-error panel returns before the table that draws the box, so after a refused term there is no box left to clear it. Read only, not reproduced.
Trailers: both commits carry only the model-free pair.
CI at head: all 36 check-runs on 3a00b9a are complete: 33 success, 3 skipped (dependabot and the two coverage jobs), none failed; mergeable_state: clean. Path surface (9 files, +688 / −48): packages/plugin-list/src/**, packages/fields/src/widgets/** and one changeset; no governed path.

Next: pr_ready + automerge_enable.

PR #12974 merged through the merge queue as b7fe09ebadf81ae1284c9e478b85c35cdca70509, which is on main; Fixes #12966 closes this card. Verified by content: all 9 of the PR's files on main are blob-identical to the accepted head 3a00b9a. The merge commit's message names no model.

What landed:

On an object whose search resolves to no field (decided by the spec's own resolveSearchFieldResolution, with the engine's inputs), the list's quick-search box, the record picker's search and the lookup's type-ahead are not offered. A restored term is not applied there, and a refused list search shows the server's INVALID_FIELD sentence. Only the object's own searchableFields counts (the seat's answer to the dev's view-level question; the engine and the linter refuse a view-level list outside the object's set). @object-ui/plugin-list, @object-ui/fields: patch.

For objectstack (objectstack-ai/objectstack#24284, target:v18): the console half is on objectui main now. A framework build that ships ec749fbb44's 400 stops offering search on such objects once its .objectui-sha covers the merge commit above. A standalone ObjectGrid's own toolbar search still reads the view (see the ACCEPT's Acceptance note). This seat now removes pm:dispatched.
