+**BREAKING** `ChartInteraction` drops `zoom` and `clickAction`; `stepSize` / `description` / `height` are delivered (issue #3752)
+
+The tail of the declared-≠-delivered sweep from #3729. Five `ChartConfig` props
+reached the renderer and did nothing; each got the ADR-0078 call — honor it, or
+remove it. Three were honored (objectui#2885), two are removed here.
+
+**Removed — `ChartInteraction.zoom` and `ChartInteraction.clickAction`.** Both
+were redundant against something the platform already delivers, which is why
+neither had a consumer anywhere in the framework, the console, the showcase, or
+the skill corpus:
+
+- `zoom` had no renderer primitive behind it, and `brush` already narrows a
+  range. **Migration:** `interaction: { brush: true }`.
+- `clickAction` competed with two click owners that *do* work — `drillDown`
+  (opens the filtered records, which is what a segment click is almost always
+  for) and, in the react tier, the host's own `onSegmentClick`. A third, silent
+  owner only invited authors to wire a click that never fired.
+  **Migration:** `drillDown`, or handle the click in React.
+
+`ChartInteraction` is now `{ tooltips, brush }` — both honored. This follows the
+#1475 precedent: trim what cannot be cleanly delivered, implement the rest, and
+leave nothing declared-but-inert in between.
+
+**Delivered — `ChartAxis.stepSize`, `ChartConfig.description`, `ChartConfig.height`**
+(objectui#2885). `description` and `height` join `<ObjectChart>`'s published
+`dataProps` now that they do something; `stepSize` rides along inside
+`xAxis`/`yAxis`. Their schema descriptions say what they actually do rather than
+restating their names.
+
+Breaking, but shipped as `minor` per the launch-window convention (see
+`scripts/check-changeset-no-major.mjs`). Off-spec `zoom`/`clickAction` keys are
+stripped by Zod rather than rejected, so no stored metadata fails to parse — the
+break is at the TypeScript type level for anyone constructing a
+`ChartInteraction` in code.
