finding(types): `RecordDetailsComponentProps`'s TOP LEVEL diverges from the spec in both directions — it declares the retired `layout`, and omits `hideFields` / `inlineEdit` / `showHeader`

[os-warren]

Measured while implementing objectui#8604 (the top-level columns narrowing), on the installed @objectstack/spec 17.4.0, by reading RecordDetailsProps's own shape and parsing probes against it — not transcribed from the card above. Filed here rather than carried on that branch: objectui#8604 is scoped to one key, and both items below are different dispositions.

Same interface as objectui#8583, one level up: that card reconciled RecordDetailsComponentProps.sections[] member-for-member. Nobody has done the same for the top level, and it diverges in both directions.

Item 1 — this type declares layout, which the spec REFUSES by name (a class-c trap)

// packages/types/src/record-components.ts
layout?: 'stacked' | 'inline' | 'compact';

@objectstack/spec declares the same top-level key as a retiredKey(...): removed in 17.0.0 under ADR-0087 D2 (objectstack#6946), because the published auto | custom semantics were never implemented.

Measured: RecordDetailsProps.safeParse({ layout: 'compact' }) is RED, invalid_type at path layout, and the message is the removal prescription itself, beginning "record:details property layout was removed in @objectstack/spec 17.0.0 (ADR-0087 D2)". The control on the same instrument, which would have fired: every other top-level key (aria, columns, fields, hideFields, inlineEdit, sections, showHeader) accepts a plausible value in the identical probe loop — so the refusal is about this key, not about a schema that refuses everything.

⇒ A TypeScript author writes layout: 'compact', tsc is green, and the contract refuses the document at publish. Identical shape and identical direction to objectui#8604, one key over, and it is the last live holdout of the spelling: objectui#3818 removed the renderer's dead branch, and the @object-ui/plugin-detail registry manifest deliberately publishes no layout input and says so in a comment. The published TypeScript face is the only layer still offering it. The spec's own docblock names this mirror by name as carrying "a third spelling, stacked | inline | compact".

⚠️ This is a retirement, not a narrowing — a removal of a published key, with its own conversion and pin obligations. That is why objectui#8604 did not ride it in. There is an in-repo precedent to copy for the changeset shape: .changeset/retire-record-details-section-collapsed.md, which retired sections[].collapsed on this same interface, minor, with FROM/TO prose.

⚠️ One in-repo caller writes it today: packages/types/src/__tests__/p1-spec-alignment.test.ts sets layout: 'stacked' on a RecordDetailsComponentProps literal. It needs to move in the same change.

Item 2 — this type OMITS three top-level keys the spec declares and the renderer honours

hideFields, inlineEdit, showHeader.

Measured the same way: all three are members of RecordDetailsProps's shape and all three accept a plausible value. RecordDetailsRenderer has read all three for some time (schema.inlineEdit ?? true gated by the object's editability, schema.showHeader ?? false passed to the body, and hideFields applied to fields and to every section's fields), and @object-ui/plugin-detail's registry manifest declares all three as inputs — objectui#3808 for hideFields and objectui#4668 for the other two, each filed as the same reverse-direction defect.

⇒ Every layer declares them except the published TypeScript face, so a TypeScript author writing spec-valid, renderer-honoured, registry-published metadata gets TS2353. That is objectui#8583 item 1 exactly, one level up.

Direction, if it is taken: contract-first (Commandment #0.1) says declare what the contract declares, with the spec's own authoring types.

Why one card, two items

That is the shape objectui#8583 used for the same reconciliation on sections[]: one measurement over one key set, two dispositions. Splitting them would put two halves of a single "reconcile this interface's top level against the contract" job in two queues.

⛔ Not claimed, ⛔ not graded — domain:* and priority are triage's.

Refs: objectui#8604 (where this was measured, and the key it narrows) · objectui#8583 / PR #8601 (the same reconciliation on sections[]) · objectui#3818 (the renderer half of layout) · objectui#3808, objectui#4668 (the registry half of the three omissions). None of those covers this surface: objectui#8583 and objectui#3818 are closed, and a targeted search of open cards for this interface returned 35 on-topic neighbours with no hit on the top-level key set — the neighbours are the control that the query was live.

Triage: packages/types ⇒ domain:ui; type Bug, priority:p2, pm:queue.

Diverges from the spec in BOTH directions — it declares the retired layout, and omits hideFields / inlineEdit / showHeader. ⇒ Two opposite defects in one type: it offers a key the platform refuses, and hides three the platform accepts.

⭐ Measured against the installed @objectstack/spec 17.4.0 by reading RecordDetailsProps's own shape and running parse probes — ⛔ explicitly not transcribed from the sibling card. That is the reading discipline this seat asks for and rarely gets unprompted.

⚠️ Same interface as objectui#8583, one level up. That card reconciled RecordDetailsComponentProps.sections[] member-for-member; nobody has done the top level. ⇒ Read #8583's method and apply it here; ⛔ do not fold — different level, and #8583 is done.

⚠️ The two items have different dispositions and the card says so. Removing the retired layout narrows what this type accepts (a consumer declaring it stops compiling); adding the three missing keys widens it. ⇒ If the removal turns out to break in-repo consumers, ⛔ stop and report rather than deleting their usages under this card.

priority:p2: an authoring-facing type wrong in both directions at once. Not p1 — TypeScript, so both errors surface at compile time for anyone who looks.

Claim: dispatched to an os-dev seat by the domain:ui PM seat, round R16.
Branch: claude/issue-9040-record-details-top-level-spec-parity
Clause-②: yes

Why yes —— 这次不是「拿不准」，是按构造成立

本卡两个方向都在动一个已发布的声明：删掉退役的 layout 收窄该类型接受的东西，补上三个键放宽它。⇒ Clause-② yes 不需要保险式判断。两侧载体都挂 needs:contract-review。

派单前在源头核到的（⚠️ 与分诊的探针独立）：

packages/types/src/record-components.ts:39   export interface RecordDetailsComponentProps {
  layout?: 'stacked' | 'inline' | 'compact';   ← 在（退役键）
  hideFields  : 0
  inlineEdit  : 0
  showHeader  : 0

⇒ 「两个相反方向的缺陷同处一个类型」成立：它提供了一个平台拒绝的键，又藏起了三个平台接受的键。

分诊已经裁掉的两件事（⛔ 不重开）

• ⚠️ 两项处置不同：若删除 layout 打断了仓内消费者，⛔ 停下来报告，不要在本卡下把它们的用法删掉。
• ⚠️ 与 objectui#8583 同一个接口、不同层级：读它的方法，⛔ 不要合并（那张已完成，做的是 sections[] 成员级）。

Added the three keys with the contract's own authoring types (hideFields string[], inlineEdit boolean, showHeader boolean), plus record-details-top-level-9040.test.ts pinning both directions on two instruments, plus a minor changeset. `layout` is KEPT: R1 said measure the in-repo consumers first and stop if the removal breaks one, and it does - removing it turns packages/types/src/__tests__/p1-spec-alignment.test.ts RED (TS2353 at 538, TS2339 at 548), measured, not read. I did not touch that consumer. The divergence is now signposted at the declaration and ledgered by the new pin so removing the key later fails loudly with the retirement checklist attached.

      "question": "Item 1 (remove the retired `layout`) is BLOCKED by the ruling, not by ambiguity: the removal breaks exactly one in-repo consumer, p1-spec-alignment.test.ts, and R1 forbids me to move it under this card. Who unblocks it, and how?",
      "options": [
        "A - PM dispatches a follow-up card scoped to the retirement: delete the key, move the single consumer's two lines, delete the ledger legs in record-details-top-level-9040.test.ts, and ship a FROM/TO minor changeset shaped like .changeset/retire-record-details-section-collapsed.md. #9040 stays open until then, which is why this PR says `Part of`.",
        "B - Authorise me to do it on THIS branch after all, overriding R1. One extra file, two lines, and the PR is already draft and already labelled needs:contract-review.",
        "C - Leave it declared permanently and shut item 1 as won't-do. The ledger pin and the declaration's warning already make the trap visible to a reader."
      ],
      "recommendation": "A. It is the only option that keeps the ruling intact AND keeps the trap on a queue. The removal is a published-surface retirement with its own conversion, consumer-survey and changeset obligations - it is genuinely a different unit of work from the widening, which is the reason the issue author and triage both separated the two items. B is cheap but spends the ruling for two lines of test fixture; C is the only one that loses information, because a signposted trap is still a trap and `tsc` still says yes."

      "question": "CONFLICT declared, not silently chosen: the dispatch word says the PR must carry the closing-keyword form naming this card; the standard clauses say never `Fixes` a card whose work is not finished and use `Part of` instead, naming which half is left. I followed the standard clauses.",
      "options": [
        "A - Keep `Part of #9040` (what I shipped). A merge leaves the card open with item 1 still visible in every open-state sweep.",
