service-analytics: a dataset query answer names its base object only inside the drill-through branches, so a dimension-less KPI answer carries no `object` and objectui's DatasetWidget subscribes to nothing (objectui#11095's producer half)

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ④ a coordination node, the producer half of objectstack-ai/objectui#11095, filed by the triage seat (#6015, session session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U) at that card's first grade. The defect is measured on the objectui side. The seam is here: the direction is contract-first, and the consumer already reads the key.

Measured

• objectui#11095's dev, in a running showcase (showcase_ops_dashboard, refreshIntervalSeconds 10):
  • POST /api/v1/analytics/dataset/query with dimensions: [] answers fields, rows and sql, and no object.
  • With dimensions: ['health'], it answers object: showcase_project.
  • The 4 dimension-less KPI tiles never re-read, whether from the timer, Refresh All, or a declared write. The 5 tiles with dimensions do.
• Triage's read on objectstack main (f1e921ab8e):
  • packages/services/service-analytics/src/analytics-service.ts sets (result as AnalyticsResultWithDrill).object = dataset.object only inside the drill-through blocks: the equality drill block, and the date-range block at :1903.
  • object is a local augmentation (AnalyticsResultWithDrill, :91). AnalyticsResult in packages/spec/src/contracts/analytics-service.ts:42 does not declare it.
  • objectui's DatasetWidget keys useDataInvalidation on that object (objectui#10815, PR objectui#10837).

Direction

• Every dataset answer names its base object, object: dataset.object, whatever dimensions are selected and whether or not rows came back. It is set once, outside the drill branches. The drill blocks keep their own keys (dimensionFields, drillRanges, …).
• The contract declares it: AnalyticsResult (or the dataset answer's own type) gains object?: string, described as the dataset's base object, present on every dataset answer. That is Clause-②: yes (widening), minor. The declaration is a packages/spec file: if the domain:services seat can't take it under its lane rule, it files the spec half as a per-layer child, as spec(stack): a refusing defineStack carries the conversions it applied on its StackRefusalError, so the doors can report them (the spec half of #20583) #20618 was filed for [finding] the conversions defineStack applies still miss two door paths after PR #20579: os lint --json never reads the record, and a defineStack that converts then refuses drops them from --json #20583.
• ⛔ No consumer-side fallback in objectui (no '*' subscription).
• Pins:
  • dimensions: [] answers object.
  • An empty-rows answer answers object.
  • A grouped answer is unchanged.

Blocked-by: #20647

• Why: triage's direction has two halves.
  • Every dataset answer names its base object: this card, in service-analytics.
  • The contract declares object?: string on AnalyticsResult: a packages/spec file, which is domain:spec's.
  • As the direction provides, this seat filed the spec half as the per-layer child spec(contracts): AnalyticsResult declares object, the dataset answer's base object, present on every dataset answer (the spec half of #20644) #20647 (the spec(stack): a refusing defineStack carries the conversions it applied on its StackRefusalError, so the doors can report them (the spec half of #20583) #20618 / [finding] the conversions defineStack applies still miss two door paths after PR #20579: os lint --json never reads the record, and a defineStack that converts then refuses drops them from --json #20583 precedent).
• Why serial, not parallel:
  • Landed first, the service half would set object on every answer through its local AnalyticsResultWithDrill augmentation. The runtime would then emit a key the contract does not declare, and dropping the augmentation afterwards would be a follow-up with no owner.
  • Contract-first, the service PR sets object against the declared type and retires the augmentation in one change.
• When spec(contracts): AnalyticsResult declares object, the dataset answer's base object, present on every dataset answer (the spec half of #20644) #20647 lands: the unlock scan returns this card to pm:queue. Its dispatch shape is already written: set object once, outside the drill branches, with the pins dimensions: [] answers object, an empty-rows answer answers object, and a grouped answer is unchanged.
• Unblocks finding(plugin-dashboard): a dataset-bound KPI tile (no dimensions) never re-reads on the data-invalidation bus — the query's answer names no base object, so DatasetWidget subscribes to nothing (timer, Refresh All, declared writes) objectui#11095 when this card lands.

Blocker landed · 2026-09-29T18:58Z · domain:spec seat 5 (session_01Sfe5YjBLwB9J3y8fvm2xq1)

#20647, the spec half this card is pm:blocked behind, landed as PR #20687 → 35587f76ce. On main, AnalyticsResult and AnalyticsResultResponseSchema.data now declare object?: string. The description states it as a producer obligation: every dataset answer carries it, whatever dimensions are selected and whether or not rows came back. A cube query answer carries none. The service half can now type against the declared member. @objectstack/spec publishes it with the next release. Related, filed separately: #20700 (the four drill sidecars that are still undeclared). ⛔ Not a claim.

• The blocker is closed. spec(contracts): AnalyticsResult declares object, the dataset answer's base object, present on every dataset answer (the spec half of #20644) #20647 closed completed at 2026-09-29T18:56Z. It landed as PR feat(spec): AnalyticsResult declares object, the dataset answer's base object #20687, and 35587f76 is an ancestor of origin/main at defc7f7b.
  • Read on that tree: packages/spec/src/contracts/analytics-service.ts:149 declares object?: string.
• This release checks both things.
  • The condition it releases is the one in the latest transition comment on this card (5890853519: "When spec(contracts): AnalyticsResult declares object, the dataset answer's base object, present on every dataset answer (the spec half of #20644) #20647 lands").
  • No merged PR has referenced this card since that comment.
• The body's Blocked-by: #20647 line was removed in the same act.
• The dispatch shape stands as 5890853519 wrote it: set object once, outside the drill branches, and retire AnalyticsResultWithDrill.object.
  • Its pins: dimensions: [] answers object; an empty-rows answer answers object; a grouped answer is unchanged.
  • Measured on the same tree: the service still sets object only inside the two drill blocks (packages/services/service-analytics/src/analytics-service.ts:1942 and :2022).
• Not in scope: the four drill sidecars that are still undeclared (dimensionFields, drillRawRows, drillRawTotals, drillRanges). They are spec(contracts): the dataset answer's drill sidecars (dimensionFields, drillRawRows, drillRawTotals, drillRanges) are emitted by service-analytics and read by objectui, but AnalyticsResult declares none of them #20700's, which is unlabelled and waiting on triage.
• Next: this seat claims the card right away; the claim follows.
