dashboards: rotated x-axis labels are clipped, and the dashboard inspector Layout fields are squeezed to unreadable

Filing gate ① — product defect with a named location and a reproduction. reach: Studio → showcase → Interfaces → Delivery Operations dashboard (same widgets the app serves).

Who acts on it: objectui triage → the Studio / app-shell owner. ⛔ Not a claim. Found in a manual browser QA pass of Studio on 2026-10-07; filed one card per finding on the maintainer's word: 「你发现的问题全部提交 issue」, and on the one-card-per-finding question 「覆盖规则，逐条立卡」.

What happens

(Fractional y ticks on count charts are already tracked in charts: count measures get fractional y-axis ticks (0.5, 0.8, 1.5 …) #11681 and are not repeated here.)
Rotated x labels are clipped ("acklog", "ogress").
The dashboard inspector's Layout block puts Columns / Gap / Refresh Interval Seconds in three columns inside ~220 px: "12" shows as "1", labels wrap to three lines, help text is cut.

Expected

Rotated labels inside the plot bounds; inspector fields stacked so values and labels are readable.

Suggested direction (triage to rule)

Reserve bottom margin for rotated labels (or truncate with a tooltip); one column for the Layout fields in the narrow inspector.

Triage: lands in the chart widget's axis margin (plugin-charts / plugin-dashboard) and the Studio dashboard inspector's Layout section ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: a Studio or console surface in objectui. Filed from the browser QA pass of 2026-10-07 (objectstack 879bd38c, objectui 179f6fe9); paths re-read on objectui main 9990f9e122.

Why p3: labels are clipped and fields are cramped, but the data is right.
Direction:
- reserve bottom margin for rotated category labels, or truncate them with a tooltip
- one column for the Layout fields in the narrow inspector
Clause-②: no. Patch changeset in objectui.

File surface (on 1e1f09e):

packages/plugin-charts/src/AdvancedChartImpl.tsx (the rotated x-axis label handling at about :405–:430, ROTATED_X_LABEL_MAX_CHARS, and the plot's bottom margin);
the Studio dashboard inspector's Layout block (Columns / Gap / Refresh Interval Seconds): the dev measures whether it is laid out by the dashboard type's form layout metadata or by packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/SchemaForm.tsx's grid widget, and names the file before editing it. A change to SchemaForm.tsx's shared grid behaviour for every other form is not on the surface;
the tests beside them;
.changeset/11796-*.md.

Any file outside this list: the dev reports it before opening the PR (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui: no path-derived mandate; default tier)
Clause-②: no
Responsibility: objectui plugin-charts + app-shell: rotated category labels are clipped at the plot's bottom edge ("acklog", "ogress"), and the dashboard inspector's Layout block squeezes three fields into about 220px ("12" shows as "1") | the platform path: the chart already rotates and ellipsises long labels; only the reserved margin and the inspector layout are wrong | every end user reading a dashboard bar chart with rotated labels, and every author editing a dashboard's layout in Studio
Thread-read: 6043042473
Serial constraints cleared: none blocking. Neither AdvancedChartImpl.tsx nor the dashboard inspector is held by an in-flight card. This seat's objectui#11785 (area:studio) holds StudioDesignSurface.tsx's refusal strips, and seat 1's objectui#11783 (area:studio) holds ObjectFieldInspector.tsx / FlowReferenceField.tsx; both are disjoint. No open objectui PR touches the files above (read 2026-10-08T00:35Z; open: #11841, #11600, #11069).

Why Clause-②: no: layout fixes inside two packages. A published export, prop, type member or language-pack key is a stop: the dev reports it before opening the PR, and the seat amends this line.

"summary": "Two fixes, each where its owner lives. (1) plugin-charts AdvancedChartImpl.tsx: a rotated x-axis label is anchored at its end and hangs its start away from the plot, and the axis reserved a fixed height of 60px that counted only the text width (no tickSize offset, no rotated line box). The band is now derived from the longest drawn label (rotatedXAxisHeight: tickSize + tickMargin + 1em cos35 + width sin35, width an upper estimate with CJK/kana/Hangul/full-width glyphs at 1em and others at 0.65em), and the 12-character ellipsis applies to every rotated label so the band stays bounded; non-rotating axes keep recharts' 30px. (2) app-shell DashboardDefaultInspector.tsx (the named file; SchemaForm.tsx untouched): the spec dashboardForm declares its Layout section with columns 3 and header colSpan 3, which SchemaForm honours in the narrow panel; the inspector now stacks every section to one column and clamps colSpan to 1. Zone 2 readings: the chart reserved an XAxis height (not margin.bottom); the clip is the chart SVG's own viewport, not an ancestor overflow (the card grows with content). Measured in Chromium through a temporary uncommitted harness (real DashboardRenderer, runtime and the designer's DashboardPreview wrappers, fake queryDataset with the showcase categories): before, labels reach 61px (In Progress) and 71px (12-char) under a 60px band and, with the legend off, 3 labels lose their starts at the SVG edge; after, bands are 76 and 80 with 0 labels crossing. The inspector reproduced the card exactly at a 240px panel ("12" as "1", three 47px columns) and stacks to one 172px column after. The card's exact "acklog"/"ogress" with the legend ON did not reproduce in this sandbox (tick font is a system stack, Inter here); the mechanism did.",

ACCEPT — domain:ui seat 3, session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8, 2026-10-08T01:59Z. PR objectui#11851, head bf2a3ba.

PR shape: draft against main, with 59ce048 merged in (no rebase). First line Fixes #11796, no other closing keyword. Clause-②: no at line start. The three commits carry only the model-free trailer pair. Assigned to os-support-ai.
Scope: 5 files, +381/−28, on the claim's surface (6049709370):
- packages/plugin-charts/src/AdvancedChartImpl.tsx (the rotated-label band, ROTATED_X_LABEL_MAX_CHARS);
- packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/DashboardDefaultInspector.tsx, the inspector file the claim asked the dev to measure and name. It is named in the PR body with the reading: @objectstack/spec's dashboardForm declares Layout columns: 3, and this inspector is getDashboardForm's only consumer;
- two new pin files and the changeset (patch on both packages).
SchemaForm.tsx is untouched, so every other form keeps its declared columns. Nothing is added to either package entry. No governed path.
Diff read (the seat's own):
- The fixed height: 60 on a rotated x axis becomes rotatedXAxisHeight(labels): tickSize (6) + tickMargin (10) + 1em·cos 35° + widest·sin 35°. The width is an upper estimate (0.65em per glyph, 1em for a wide CJK, kana, Hangul or full-width glyph, at the 12px tick font). With the 12-character cap, a Latin band tops out near 80px. A chart whose labels do not rotate passes no height, so it keeps recharts' default.
- The 12-character ellipsis now applies to every rotated label, not only at five buckets or fewer. That is the bounded widening the PR body names: it is the constant the claim put on the surface, and an unbounded label would need an unbounded band. The full name stays on the tooltip.
- stackSectionsForNarrowPanel sets every section to columns: 1 and clamps a field's colSpan to 1, after the server-field graft. A { group } section is left as it came. In this panel that also stacks Basics (columns: 2: name and label), the same defect at a smaller size. The changeset says "every section", which matches.
Ruling honoured (triage 6043042473): "reserve bottom margin for rotated category labels, or truncate them with a tooltip": both, the band from the labels plus the cap. "one column for the Layout fields in the narrow inspector": done, scoped to this inspector.
Changeset sentences checked against the head:
- "The axis now reserves the room its longest drawn label needs at the rotation angle … with a wide glyph (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) counted a full em";
- "Every rotated label is now shortened with an ellipsis past 12 characters, also on axes with more than five categories";
- "Charts whose labels do not rotate keep the axis height they had";
- "The inspector now renders every section of the form in one column, in the declared field order. Other forms keep the column layout their sections declare".
Reverse verification (dev report):
- Ablation through ablation-replace.mjs on 9957feb, four legs, each restored with the blob equal to HEAD: the band put back to 60 gives 4 of 6 chart pins red; removing the stacking gives 2 inspector pins red with the SchemaForm control green; charging a wide glyph as narrow gives only the CJK pin red; scoping the ellipsis back gives only the above-bound pin red.
- Real-browser reading in Chromium (a temporary harness with the real DashboardRenderer, uncommitted and removed): with the legend off, 3 labels lost their starts under the 60px band before, and 0 after (bands 76 and 80). The inspector reproduced "12" as "1" at a 240px panel, and stacks to one 172px column after. The card's exact "acklog" cut with the legend on did not reproduce on this machine's fonts; the mechanism did. Recorded as such in the PR body.
- plugin-charts plus the 42-file app-shell set at bf2a3ba: 132 files, 1523 tests passed. Both type-checks exit 0.
Gates: CI on bf2a3ba (head_sha equals the PR head): 43 runs, 40 success, 3 skipped (Test (coverage), its shard template, dependabot), 0 failure. Lint and Type Check are success. Mergeable state clean. main has since moved to 5aa7f55 (objectui#11785 and objectui#11789, neither touching these files), and git merge-tree of it and this head is clean; the queue tests that merge.
Contract review: not required (Clause-②: no).

Findings:

Other narrow inspectors may feed spec sections with columns: 2 through the same SchemaForm grid (actionForm, pageForm, viewForm). Not measured in a panel, so it does not pass the filing gate's reach test → Acceptance notes
The ellipsis counts UTF-16 code units, so a cut can split a surrogate pair. This predates the change and is not measured → Acceptance notes
A 3–5 glyph CJK label never rotates (the rotation trigger counts code units), and the x-axis title sits in the same band. Neither is measured → Acceptance notes

Landing: ready + auto-merge through the queue, now.

Landed — domain:ui seat 3, session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8, 2026-10-08T02:19Z. PR objectui#11851 merged through the queue as 82500a7 at 2026-10-08T02:17Z.

The merge:
- One parent, 5aa7f55, an ancestor of origin/main.
- The landed tree equals git merge-tree of that parent and the accepted head bf2a3ba (tree cd8c345a on both).
- 5 files, +381/−28.
Content check, 5aa7f55 → 82500a7:
- The fixed band textAnchor: 'end' as const, height: 60 in AdvancedChartImpl.tsx: 1 → 0.
- rotatedXAxisHeight( in AdvancedChartImpl.tsx: 0 → 2.
- stackSectionsForNarrowPanel( in DashboardDefaultInspector.tsx: 0 → 2.
- Control: metadata-admin/SchemaForm.tsx is byte-identical on both sides, so every other form keeps the columns its sections declare.
Closures: the PR's only closing keyword was Fixes #11796. It is the only issue closed since the previous landing at 01:53Z. pm:dispatched is removed.
Follow-ups: none filed. The four Acceptance notes (other inspectors' columns: 2 sections, the surrogate-pair cut, short CJK labels never rotating, the axis title in the band) have no measured reach.
