fix(app-shell): the metadata-admin designer reads and writes visibleWhen only (objectui#12696)

[objectstack-fleet]

Fixes #12696
Clause-②: no (narrowing)

Summary

The metadata-admin designer was the last reader and writer of the form view's retired visibleOn predicate. objectui#12654 (PR #12692) had already removed it from the console form page, plugin-form and SchemaRenderer. After this PR the designer reads and writes visibleWhen only:

• Writer. anchors.ts writes visibleWhen: "data.viewKind == 'list'" / 'form' on the view create schema's kind and formType pickers.
• Reader. SchemaForm's readVisibility returns node?.visibleWhen and nothing else. The ?? visibleOn fold is gone from all five call sites: flat create properties, sections, section fields, tab reachability and record-editor sub-fields.
• Types. FormFieldSpec and FormSectionSpec (exported from the @object-ui/app-shell entry) drop their visibleOn member. 'visibleOn' stays in FormSectionSpec's Omit list, because the spec's input FormSection type still carries it and would otherwise re-admit it.
• Condition widget. CONDITION_FIELD_NAMES drops 'visibleOn'. A *When property still gets the condition builder by name.
• Prose. Doc comments that called the predicate visibleOn now say visibleWhen, in predicate.ts, view-schema.ts, page-schema.ts, report-schema.ts, mergeServerFields.ts, PageDefaultInspector.tsx, ViewVariantInspector.tsx and ReportDefaultInspector.tsx. The last one is included because objectui#12745 merged before this branch's origin/main merge.

The narrowing (what a host sees)

A host that passes visibleOn to SchemaForm, on a FormView section, a section field, a record sub-field or a raw JSONSchema property, now sees that node shown unconditionally. This matches the runtime form. A typed object literal that sets visibleOn on a FormFieldSpec or FormSectionSpec no longer compiles (TS2353). The fix is one rename: write visibleWhen. The predicate value keeps the same shape. The changeset says the same.

Measurements behind each step

• No producer left. After the anchor change, no non-test file in packages/ or apps/ writes visibleOn into a FormView or a create schema that SchemaForm reads. The 17 authoring FormViews the bundled spec exports (viewForm, pageForm, reportForm, objectForm, fieldForm, actionForm and others) carry 0 visibleOn nodes and 89 visibleWhen nodes.
• Condition widget entry. No bundled authoring form declares a field named visibleOn, while visible and visibleWhen do appear (the positive control). The spec's JSON schemas still describe a deprecated visibleOn property on FormSection / FormField, but no designer form surfaces that position. So the entry had no named producer and is dropped.
• Spec version. The installed @objectstack/spec 18.0.0-next.2 still accepts visibleOn as a deprecated alias that it folds into visibleWhen at parse. objectstack main turns it into a retiredKey. Either way, a parsed form reaching the designer carries visibleWhen.

Tests

• view-create-body.visibility.test.tsx (new) renders the real registered view create schema and flips viewKind. Each picker shows only for its own family.
• The SchemaForm.visibleWhen.test.tsx suite named "retired visibleOn is not read (objectui#12696)" replaces the old alias suite. A section and a field carrying only visibleOn are not hidden. The same predicates under visibleWhen are hidden. A raw create property carrying only visibleOn is not hidden.
• view-create-body.test.ts pins visibleWhen on both pickers and the absence of visibleOn.
• form-spec.containers.test.tsx PIN J refuses visibleOn on both types at compile time.
• The alias-spelled fixtures in the flat-visibility, page-visibility and collapsible suites are re-spelled visibleWhen; they only used the alias.
• Ablations, each with its restore proven by blob equal to HEAD:
  • Re-spelling the anchor's list gate visibleOn makes 2 cases fail.
  • Re-adding the reader's fold makes the 2 retired-key cases fail.
  • Re-adding visibleOn on FormSectionSpec makes tsc -p tsconfig.test.json fail with exactly one TS2578, at PIN J.
• Runs at the head this PR opens on:
  • The metadata-admin directory: 517 files, 5805 passed, 1 skipped.
  • Every other test file naming visibleOn, readVisibility, FormFieldSpec or FormSectionSpec: 40 files, 889 passed, 1 skipped.
  • @object-ui/app-shell and @object-ui/console type-check: both green.

Outside the claimed file surface (forced by the narrowing)

• apps/console tests that build these types from object literals:
  • FormPage.fieldSpec.test.ts and FormPage.viewSpec.test.ts: the visibleOn line is dropped from the "was undeclarable here" literal.
  • FormPage.conditionalRules.test.tsx and FormPage.visibleWhen.test.tsx (form, react, types, console: spec 18 refuses the view form's visibleOn and the page component's visibility (objectstack#23543 F4) — read visibleWhen only, and re-point the spec-shape couplings before the next spec bump #12654's raw retired-key pins): one @ts-expect-error line each. Their runtime assertion is unchanged.
• No console source changed.
• conditionScope.ts and its test's prose: the restated name list drops visibleOn.

Acceptance notes

• Stale visibleOn prose left outside this surface:
  • a comment in packages/app-shell/src/views/RecordFormPage.tsx ("per-field visibleOn predicates (Form-view FormField.visibleOn (CEL) is never evaluated — conditional fields always render #2212)");
  • apps/console/README.md ("visible / visibleOn — Expression-based visibility conditions");
  • a packages/plugin-form/README.md table row documenting visibleOn.
• None of them is filed.
• The spec skew (deprecated alias in 18.0.0-next.2, retiredKey on objectstack main) closes with the next spec bump.

Provenance: built by the cloud session session_011Nr8s6FN4wcgqMHMM7oZk4 (claim 6221456246) and opened by the domain:ui seat 1 PM (session_011K9g23W67dy2zwnyzaoB6o) from that session's final message, because a cloud session cannot open a PR from its container. The seat replaced the dev's own footer line with this line.

① Derived judgments

1. Accept set — SchemaForm stops honouring visibleOn on every node it reads: RIGHT. readVisibility now returns node?.visibleWhen and nothing else, and its five call sites are the only predicate reads in the file: the flat create-schema property filter (readVisibility(props[k] as any)), the section filter, the section-field filter, the tabbed-form reachability filter and the record-editor sub-field filter. The only remaining visibleOn text in SchemaForm.tsx is the function's doc comment. Pinned in both directions by the new suite "retired visibleOn is not read (objectui#12696)": a section and a field carrying only a visibleOn that would hide them are shown, the same predicates under visibleWhen hide them, and a raw create property carrying only visibleOn is shown; the "visibleWhen wins over visibleOn" case is kept. The dev's A2 ablation (fold re-added, two cases fail) agrees with the read.

2. Producers — zero in-repo, and the spec-served authoring forms carry none: RIGHT, with one stated exposure. A full non-test census of visibleOn over packages/ and apps/ at this head finds the two anchors.ts writes gone (kind and formType now carry visibleWhen: "data.viewKind == 'list'" / 'form') and every other hit to be a comment or a DIFFERENT key: BaseSchema.visibleOn (SchemaRenderer, @object-ui/types base.ts), the runtime FormField.visibleOn slot (@object-ui/types form.ts, components form.tsx, plugin-form sectionFields.ts and WizardForm.tsx — the slot form, react, types, console: spec 18 refuses the view form's visibleOn and the page component's visibility (objectstack#23543 F4) — read visibleWhen only, and re-point the spec-shape couplings before the next spec bump #12654 kept), the navigation item's visibleOn (CommandPalette, item.visible ?? item.visibleOn) and the CLI check's key list. None is a FormView or create schema SchemaForm reads. For spec-served forms: the runtime's /meta/types form is the spec's metadata-form-registry (view: viewForm and siblings), so a served authoring form IS a bundled spec form. At the installed @objectstack/spec 18.0.0-next.2 the 17 *.form.ts files carry 0 visibleOn tokens; visibleWhen tokens: field 52, object 34, action 13, view 8, page 6, report 4, the other eleven 0 (token hits, so the dev's 89 node count is not the same unit; the two readings agree on the zero that matters). Exposure stated rather than hidden: useMetadata.ts says the served form is deserialised without validation, so a runtime older than ADR-0089's fold could in principle serve visibleOn; the designer's dependency floor is ^18.0.0-next.2, the spec has folded visibleOn at parse since protocol 15 (normalizeVisibleWhen), and form, react, types, console: spec 18 refuses the view form's visibleOn and the page component's visibility (objectstack#23543 F4) — read visibleWhen only, and re-point the spec-shape couplings before the next spec bump #12654's landed changesets accepted the same exposure for the console form page. Judged right.

3. Public surface — FormFieldSpec and FormSectionSpec lose visibleOn: RIGHT. Both are re-exported from the @object-ui/app-shell entry (export type { FormFieldSpec, FormSectionSpec, FormViewSpec } through views/metadata-admin/index.ts). The reader census the dev posted was re-derived from the head's importer list: apps/console FormPage.tsx types RenderableField.visibleWhen off FormFieldSpec['visibleWhen'] and reads visibleWhen only; PackageFormDialog, widgets, useMetadata, field-source-label, mergeServerFields and the CodeWidget tests touch neither key; metadata-viewer.tsx names FormFieldSpec.options in a comment only. Nothing in-repo reads .visibleOn off either type.

4. Keeping 'visibleOn' in FormSectionSpec's Omit list: RIGHT and load-bearing. At the tag, the exported FormSection is declared as the z.input type OF FormSectionSchema (generics are spelled in words here because the comment sanitizer eats tag-shaped text), and FormSectionSchema declares visibleOn: EvaluatedExpressionInputSchema.optional() marked [DEPRECATED → visibleWhen], so the input type carries the key and the intersection would re-admit it without the Omit. PIN A (an Equal of the two Omit types over SectionNarrowed, one of FormSectionSpec and one of FormSection) needs 'visibleOn' in SectionNarrowed for the same reason, and PIN J's @ts-expect-error on a FormSectionSpec literal is what turns to TS2578 if the Omit entry goes (the dev's A3). FormFieldSpec is hand-declared, and the spec's own FormField type is already Omit of visibleOn, so the field leaf has no such position. On objectstack main both spec positions are retiredKey(...) tombstones (z.never().optional()): the key is still in the input type there, so the Omit stays right after the next spec bump too.

5. The two @ts-expect-error lines in apps/console keep their tests' runtime assertions meaningful: RIGHT. apps/console/tsconfig.json includes src with no test exclusion and the package's type-check is tsc --noEmit, so the directives are compiled, not phantom (the dev measured TS2353 at both lines before adding them; an unused directive would have failed Type Check as TS2578, and Type Check is green). Each directive covers the one-object line only; the visibleOn section and field stay in the arrays at runtime, and the assertions (undefined in the row for c) are unchanged — they still read what buildSections does with a raw retired key. PIN J in form-spec.containers.test.tsx is compiled by tsconfig.test.json, chained from app-shell's type-check.

6. CONDITION_FIELD_NAMES drops 'visibleOn': RIGHT; no reachable position loses the builder. detectConditionWidget(name, schema) keys on a property NAME (the set, or /When$/). Served JSON schemas that literally declare a property named visibleOn at the tag: FormField and FormSection in view.zod.ts, deprecated — the only two; the visibleOn entries in component.zod.ts (object-form block), object.zod.ts (field groups) and app.zod.ts (areas) are guidance prescriptions for an unknown key, not properties. Designer reach to those two positions: no bundled form declares a field named visibleOn (0 across the 17; positive controls { field: 'visible' } in the action form and { field: 'visibleWhen' } in the field and object forms exist); viewForm has no sections or config field, so derivePropertyNames never enumerates a FormSection or FormField item schema; the page block inspector's record:details.sections uses a hand-listed itemFields (name, label, columns, fields); mergeServerFields appends only TOP-LEVEL server-only properties, and no served type schema names a top-level visibleOn. Any *When name keeps the widget. And a property spelled with the retired key should not be offered a builder.

7. Tests re-spelled, not deleted: RIGHT. The collapsible, flat-visibility and page-visibility fixtures only ever pinned the alias limb; re-spelling them visibleWhen keeps every assertion and moves it onto the key a current backend serves. view-create-body.test.ts pins visibleWhen on both pickers and not.toHaveProperty('visibleOn'); the new view-create-body.visibility.test.tsx renders the REAL registered create schema through registerBuiltinAnchors and getMetadataResource('view').createSchema and flips viewKind (the dev's A1: two cases fail if the anchor regresses). The pageForm reachability case now asserts not.toHaveProperty('visibleOn') rather than toBeUndefined, a stricter read.

② Semver level

• The changeset bumps @object-ui/app-shell minor, opens with BREAKING for a host that still spells visibleOn on a layout handed to SchemaForm, states the FROM → TO mapping and the one-line fix (write visibleWhen; the predicate value keeps its shape), and carries Clause-②: no (narrowing) — read as declared · no · narrowing, matching the PR body's line 2.
• This repo's policy: .changeset/config.json holds one fixed group of 40 packages (app-shell and console in it) and .changeset/pre.json is in pre mode, tag next; AGENTS.md §版本号策略 forbids major (the gate scripts/check-changeset-no-major.mjs, run by changeset-guard.yml as the check-run Changeset Bump Policy: success) and spells objectui's own breaking changes as minor with the break stated in the body. minor is therefore the right level. Changeset Declaration (presence) and Changeset Fixed Group Check: success. objectui runs no ADR-0087 disposition gate, so none is owed here.
• What publishes matches the declaration: the only non-test source that moves is in packages/app-shell; the apps/console hunks are four test files, so no console source changes, and the fixed group carries console with the app-shell bump.
• Wording note, not a defect: the changeset says @objectstack/spec 18 retires the form view's visibleOn. At the installed 18.0.0-next.2 the key is a deprecated alias folded at parse; the retiredKey tombstones are on objectstack main and not yet in a spec objectui installs. form, react, types, console: spec 18 refuses the view form's visibleOn and the page component's visibility (objectstack#23543 F4) — read visibleWhen only, and re-point the spec-shape couplings before the next spec bump #12654's landed changesets use the same phrasing, and the host-facing instruction (write visibleWhen) is right under both versions.

③ Boundary flags

• Q1 — surface extension into four apps/console tests (seat answered A): accepted. The edits are forced by the type narrowing the card asks for, every one is in a test (two drop a visibleOn line from a "was undeclarable here" literal, two add one @ts-expect-error), and no console source changed. The conditionScope.ts and ConditionWidget.conditionScope.test.tsx prose edits are the same consequence: the restated name list would otherwise have been false.
• Q2 — the reader census as the narrowing statement (seat answered A): accepted, re-derived above from the head's importer list and the non-test census. External hosts are covered by the changeset's one-line migration; they are not measurable from this tree.
• Spec skew: observed, no card. At the tag (objectstack commit e5136ff10f1a0196d3ff4d971338a59506652297) FormField.visibleOn and FormSection.visibleOn are deprecated aliases that normalizeVisibleWhen folds at parse; on objectstack main (fd0e72abc2af5bd4d7056e7c2e387dc992d0f1df) both are retiredKey(FORM_FIELD_VISIBLE_ON_RETIRED) / retiredKey(FORM_SECTION_VISIBLE_ON_RETIRED). The designer's behaviour and the Omit entry are right under both; the skew closes with the next spec bump.
• Stale prose left outside the surface: two of the three acceptance-note items are NOT stale for this key — flagged so no sweep follows them. The apps/console/README.md row "visible / visibleOn — Expression-based visibility conditions" sits under "Navigation Support" and names the navigation item key CommandPalette still reads; the packages/plugin-form/README.md row documents the runtime FormField.visibleOn slot that form, react, types, console: spec 18 refuses the view form's visibleOn and the page component's visibility (objectstack#23543 F4) — read visibleWhen only, and re-point the spec-shape couplings before the next spec bump #12654 deliberately kept (only its parenthetical "spec FormField.visibleOn" is dated). The RecordFormPage.tsx comment ("per-field visibleOn predicates") is the one genuinely stale mention. Prose only, no card owed; whoever touches those files repairs the one that is stale and leaves the two that are live.
• ReportDefaultInspector.tsx was held outside the claim's surface pending fix(app-shell): a Name typed in a designer's create mode survives a later Label edit (objectui#12680) #12745; fix(app-shell): a Name typed in a designer's create mode survives a later Label edit (objectui#12680) #12745 merged at 2026-10-16T18:03Z before this branch's merge-forward, and the hunk is one doc-comment word. Accepted.
• Serial constraints re-read: the only other open PR naming visibleWhen (fix(plugin-detail): the derived highlight strip skips members of a field group gated by visibleWhen (objectui#12720) #12769, plugin-detail) touches none of this PR's 26 paths.
• Not this PR's, noted for the record: the CLI check's condition key list and CommandPalette's navigation visibleOn are different surfaces with their own spec keys; no finding here.

What was reviewed:

• Head 875c761, against objectui#12696 (p2, target:v18).
• The claim 6221456246 (Clause-②: no (narrowing)), and the dev's report with the seat's answers on the card.
• The contract review of record, 6223192064 (CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER, an isolated subagent, PASS, same head). It re-derived the reader census and the producer census, read the spec at the installed 18.0.0-next.2 tag and on objectstack main, and judged all seven derived judgments right.

1. Shape.
   • Fixes #12696 is the first line and the only closing keyword. Clause-②: no (narrowing) starts line 2 of the body and a line in the committed changeset. The assignee is os-tesla.
   • 26 files, NOT governed. The source that moves is in packages/app-shell only. The four apps/console hunks are tests the type narrowing forced (accepted on the card, Q1).
2. The narrowing.
   • SchemaForm reads visibleWhen only, at all five call sites.
   • FormFieldSpec and FormSectionSpec (both on the @object-ui/app-shell entry) drop visibleOn. 'visibleOn' stays in FormSectionSpec's Omit list, which is load-bearing, because the spec's input FormSection type still carries the key.
   • anchors.ts writes visibleWhen, and CONDITION_FIELD_NAMES drops visibleOn.
   • No in-repo producer and none of the 17 bundled spec authoring forms carries visibleOn (review ①2).
3. Semver. @object-ui/app-shell minor with BREAKING stated and the one-line migration (write visibleWhen). This matches the repo's no-major policy in pre mode (Changeset Bump Policy: success).
4. Gates (check-runs pinned to this head).
   • 33 success and 3 skipped (coverage and dependabot, skipped by design), including Lint, Type Check, Test with all 16 shards, Test (dist pins), Build & E2E, Bundle Analysis, Repo Gates, Governed Surface Queue Guard and every changeset check.
5. Recorded, from the review.
   • Of the three "stale prose" items in the acceptance notes, two are live, not stale. The apps/console/README.md row names the navigation item's own visibleOn, which CommandPalette reads. The packages/plugin-form/README.md row documents the runtime FormField.visibleOn slot objectui#12654 kept. Only the RecordFormPage.tsx comment is stale. No card.
   • The changeset's "spec 18 retires" wording describes objectstack main; at the installed 18.0.0-next.2 the key is a folded deprecated alias. The host instruction is right either way.
6. Landing.
   • Ready, then auto-merge into the merge queue.
   • After the merge: verify by content, close the card through Fixes, strip pm:dispatched, and archive cloud session session_011Nr8s6FN4wcgqMHMM7oZk4.
