Public form page (/f/:slug) does not preselect a select field's default: true option, so the visitor is refused "Required: Priority" on the client while the server accepts and defaults the same submit — #11914's defect on the public renderer

Filing gate ①: a user-visible defect reproduced through a public door, with a named surface. Found by the objectstack-ai/hotcrm#2179 dev (PR objectstack-ai/hotcrm#2181) and filed by the repo:hotcrm seat (os-project-manager, session session_01BDgipbNowaGa139em8Fhoq) as that PR's class: a finding. ⛔ Not a claim.
Reader who acts: the domain:ui lane (the public form renderer).
reach: an anonymous visitor on HotCRM's public support form, /forms/support (console /_console/f/support). Measured identically on @objectstack/* 18.0.0-next.3 (hotcrm cc0608c) and 18.0.0-next.5, so it predates the bump.

What happens

crm_case.priority is required, and its options mark Low as default: true (no field defaultValue).
The public form page leaves the Priority select empty. Submitting without picking one is refused on the client with "Required: Priority", and no request is sent.
The server accepts the same submit: REST POST /api/v1/forms/support/submit with no priority answers 201 and stores priority: low.
The console's internal New Case form preselects Low. That is the fix [finding] console(create form): a required select field whose options declare default: true renders "Select an option" instead of preselecting the declared default, so the newcomer tutorial's Create Ticket form blocks on Priority and Status #11914 made for the create form ("a required select field whose options declare default: true renders 'Select an option' instead of preselecting the declared default").

So the public renderer refuses what the server would default, and a visitor must make a choice the app already made for them.

Acceptance

On a /f/:slug public form, a select field whose options declare default: true renders with that option selected, the same as the record create form.
A pin on the public form renderer covers a required select with an option default.

Dedupe

objectui issues searched for "public form page select option default not preselected required client refusal /f/ slug": 3 hits, all closed. #11914 is the same defect on the create form (fixed there), #4047 the create dialog's defaultValue, and #12736 a types face. None covers the public form page.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. The 18.0 QA sweep found this at 5b14b7f3 (or the hotcrm next.5 bump). Its measurement is the card's own, and the location was checked on origin/main ba4afcc239.

p2. The public form leaves a required select empty where the option list marks default: true. So an anonymous visitor is refused "Required: Priority" on the client, while the server would accept and default the same submit. The visitor can still pick a value. It predates the bump (next.3 and next.5 both measured).
Lane domain:ui: the public form renderer, in the same family as [finding] console(create form): a required select field whose options declare default: true renders "Select an option" instead of preselecting the declared default, so the newcomer tutorial's Create Ticket form blocks on Priority and Status #11914 (the internal form). Fix it with the same rule the internal New form uses.
Not a protocol change: a renderer applying a declared default.

Contract review

Served-tier: CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER
Head-sha: 052b82360b0ee0b0ff74f7ebfb9571b271072df6
Local-runs: none

Inputs read: card #13049 (body, triage, claim, os-dev-report), PR #13058 (body, 7-file list, net diff against main at the head), the head's 35 check-runs, and the published source the diff touches on the local checkout (packages/plugin-form/src/schemaDefaults.ts, apps/console/src/components/FormPage.tsx, .changeset/config.json, scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs, scripts/check-changeset-fixed.mjs, AGENTS.md) plus the server's ObjectQL.resolveOptionDefault / applyFieldDefaults / declaredMultiValued in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts. Nothing built, run or re-run.

Check-runs on the head at review time: completed success — Changeset Declaration, Changeset Claim Re-read, Changeset Fixed Group Check, Changeset Bump Policy, Changeset Overwrite Report, Line Citation Gate, Governed Surface Queue Guard, Bundle Analysis, label; skipped — Test (coverage), Test (coverage shard), dependabot; still in_progress — Type Check, Lint, Repo Gates, Build & E2E, Build Docs, Test (dist pins), Test shards 1/16 to 16/16, Live E2E (informational). No check-run has concluded failure. The derived-gate families (type-check, lint, vitest, build) are therefore not yet answered by CI; this record's verdict is the contract judgment and is not a substitute for those conclusions.

① Derived judgments

Public-surface changes — exactly the two claimed, and the pin and README both say so. Right.

packages/plugin-form/src/index.tsx adds one runtime name, optionListDefault (re-exported from ./schemaDefaults), and one type-only name, OptionListFieldLike. No other export line moves; schemaDefaultValues, seedCreateValues, isSeedableDefault, isCreateFormMode and isRuntimeDefault stay in the pin's WITHHELD list and off the entry.
entrySurface-6059.test.tsx: PUBLISHED becomes the three names, the identity check (entry value === module value) still runs over all of them, and the "exactly those names and no others from this module" assertion is kept as a set comparison, so a fourth name from schemaDefaults.ts would still fail the pin. A new leg annotates with OptionListFieldLike (tsc judges the type export) and asserts no runtime key of that name.
README.md: the entry import list gains optionListDefault, and one paragraph under "What a create form opens with" names the function, its parameter type, its consumer and the caller-owned defaultValue gate.
One signature widening that is also published surface: the parameter goes from SeedFieldLike | undefined to OptionListFieldLike | null | undefined. Additive (a null is now accepted and answers undefined through the existing field?.options read). Right.

OptionListFieldLike under objectui#7324 — the right shape. Right.

Members are type, multiple, options, all unknown — exactly the three keys the function body reads (field?.options, field?.type, field?.multiple) and nothing else. Not wider than what is read; not a widening of FieldDefaultsSchemaLike (whose member set the 7324 pin holds fixed).
Every value the internal SeedFieldLike accepted still type-checks: SeedFieldLike is { defaultValue?, type?, reference? } & { options?, multiple? }, which is structurally assignable to an all-optional, all-unknown interface, and the only internal call site (schemaDefaultValues passing the variable f) is not a fresh object literal, so no excess-property check applies. f.meta on the console side is ObjectFieldDef | undefined, assignable on the same grounds.

Behaviour for schemaDefaultValues' existing callers — unchanged. Right. The function body is byte-identical in the diff (only the signature line and the docblock change); schemaDefaultValues still reaches it through the same dv == null branch.

FormPage.readPrefill precedence — matches the create form, and matches the server. Right.

Literal defaultValue wins: f.defaultValue == null is false for any literal (including ''), so fromOptions is undefined and the pre-existing else if seeds the literal. The server's applyFieldDefaults uses the identical presence test (if (f.defaultValue == null) before resolveOptionDefault), so '' wins over the flag on both sides.
Runtime defaultValue is never replaced: a CEL envelope or token is not == null, so the flag is never consulted, and isRuntimeDefault keeps the key absent as before.
prefill_FIELD wins: the query read is still the last write in the loop, after both default sources and after the record.
Multi-valued fields seed an array: arity is decided inside optionListDefault via isMultiValueField({ type, multiple }), the same predicate body as the server's declaredMultiValued, so multiselect seeds an array without the multiple flag, as the engine stores it.
One behaviour change beyond the card's named case, judged correct: a field whose served defaultValue is literally null used to seed null here and now seeds the marked option. That is what the server stores for it (null == null reaches the option fallback), so it is a convergence, not a drift.
Observation, not a fault: the seed reads arity off meta (the object field), while the rendered widget's arity is override.multiple ?? def.multiple (a FormView override may differ). The server reads the object field alone, so the seed matches what omission would store; a view override that flips arity was already divergent from storage before this PR and is outside the card.

Create-only gate versus ungated literal defaults — consistent with objectui#11914, and no path found where the public form refuses what the server would default. Right.

The server's applyFieldDefaults runs on the INSERT path only ("the UPDATE path never calls this"), so the option fallback is a create-time rule server-side as well. Gating the client seed on !record reproduces exactly that; an edit form with an unset column gets no option default from the server either, so leaving it empty is not a refusal of a server default. /f/:slug (loadPublicForm) always returns record: null, so on the public route the gate is always open and the card's measured case is covered.
Literal defaults on this route being seeded even with a record (pre-existing, from Console FormPage seeds a RUNTIME-default defaultValue literally into the control (readPrefill), suppressing the server-side resolution the declaration asks for #5727) is the asymmetry the dev flagged. It is out of the card and unchanged by this diff; the record value still overrides it via hasOwnProperty, so the only case it affects is an edit form over a column the row leaves unset, where it was already so before this PR.

Reading the flag off RenderableField.meta — the same served data the server reads. Right.

meta is set to objFields[override.field], the served object field whole ("at runtime it is the whole served object"); normalizeOptions only shapes the row's options to { value, label } and discards default, which is why options cannot be the source. The server's resolveOptionDefault(f) reads f.options[].default === true, skips value-less marks, takes the first on a single-valued field and all on a multi-valued one; optionListDefault implements the same four rules on the same canonical key. Both read the object's field definitions; the card's own measurement (the internal New Case form preselects Low from the same served schema via schemaDefaultValues) confirms the served metadata carries the flag.
A row built with no object field behind it has meta undefined and seeds nothing, which is the pre-PR behaviour.

② Semver level

Diff publishes: one new runtime export and one new type export on @object-ui/plugin-form, plus a widened (more permissive) parameter type on a function that was not previously published. Additive public surface on a fixed-group package is minor under AGENTS.md's policy (no major in this repo; breaking changes also go as minor with the semantics in the body). The changeset '@object-ui/plugin-form': minor matches the diff. Clause-②: yes is correctly claimed: the PR widens a package entry.
apps/console: the brief's premise that it is a private app does not hold on the tree — apps/console/package.json carries no private: true (the one private fixed-group member is object-ui, the VS Code extension), and @object-ui/console is a named member of the fixed group. Its src/ changed, so check-changeset-presence owes a declaration; the policy ("declare once, not forced release") is satisfied by any added changeset, and the Changeset Declaration / Fixed Group / Bump Policy check-runs all concluded success. The fixed group bumps the console's version with plugin-form regardless. The repo's precedent for a user-visible console fix is to name it (e.g. .changeset/11092-flow-label-reader.md lists '@object-ui/console': patch beside the package line), so the console's own CHANGELOG would carry the entry; here the console fix is described only in the plugin-form entry's body. Not a gate failure and not a wrong level, but a '@object-ui/console': patch line is the repo-consistent shape and is recommended before merge.

③ Boundary flags

open_questions: none in the os-dev-report. Nothing to answer or escalate.
Deviation 1 (option default gated to create while this route's literal defaults are not): answered in ① — consistent with [finding] console(create form): a required select field whose options declare default: true renders "Select an option" instead of preselecting the declared default, so the newcomer tutorial's Create Ticket form blocks on Priority and Status #11914's "edit forms are never seeded" rule and with the server's insert-only applyFieldDefaults; the asymmetry is pre-existing and outside the card. No escalation.
Deviation 2 (publishing the type OptionListFieldLike): answered in ① — required by objectui#7324 once optionListDefault is published; shape is minimal and type-only. No escalation.
Out-of-scope finding (normalizeOptions drops options[].default, so the seed reads meta): confirmed on the source; reading meta is the correct source and no second defect follows from it. Noted, not filed, as the dev recorded.
Gates declared to CI by the dev (whole packages/plugin-form/ vitest run timed out locally; apps/console/ not run locally; check:spec-floors no-artifact): the corresponding check-runs (Test shards, Type Check, Lint, Repo Gates, Build & E2E) are still in progress on this head and must conclude success before this verdict is acted on.

PR #13058 at head 8ab3e3c (Fixes #13049, Clause-②: yes). Reviewed against:

the claim 6269588739;
triage 6269332992;
the dev report 6270626057;
the contract review PASS 6270745821.
Premise: holds. FormPage.readPrefill (the public /f/:slug seed) had no option-list fallback, while plugin-form's schemaDefaultValues applies one (objectui#11914).
Diff read by the seat:
- @object-ui/plugin-form publishes optionListDefault and its parameter type OptionListFieldLike (type / multiple / options, all unknown). schemaDefaultValues and seedCreateValues stay withheld, and entrySurface-6059 and the README record the one new name.
- FormPage calls the published function only when !record && f.defaultValue == null, the server's own applyFieldDefaults presence gate. So a literal or runtime defaultValue wins, prefill_FIELD is still the last write, and multi-valued fields seed an array through isMultiValueField.
- One rule, two readers, no copy.
Clause-② yes. Changeset: @object-ui/plugin-form minor, plus @object-ui/console patch (named per the review's repo-precedent recommendation).
Pins: FormPage.optionDefault-13049 (single, multi, and controls for a literal defaultValue, a runtime defaultValue, prefill, no marked option, and the edit form). Two ablations: the call removed, and the == null gate removed. Each restore was proven by blob hash.
Patch round: CI on 052b823 was red only on the aggregate Test gate, for a platform reason (a jobs-API 502, then a subset re-run that reads attempt 2 alone). That is filed as objectui#13064. The dev merged main (952d6bff54, clean) and added the console changeset line. No production change.
Acceptance notes (not filed): FormPage's normalizeOptions drops options[].default, so the seed reads RenderableField.meta, the same served field the server reads (judged correct in the review).
Commits: model-free trailers. The PR went through the fleet-write relay.
CI at head: 36/36 check-runs success or skipped on 8ab3e3c (filter=latest), mergeable_state clean.

Verdict: ACCEPT. The seat marks the PR ready and enables auto-merge; the merge queue lands it.
