`main` has been red since the rc.6 spec bump — four parity surfaces were not carried with it (Type Check + 2 test shards)

[yinlianghui]

Filed unassigned per Prime Directive #10, from the #4221 dispatch. Not fixed there — that PR (#4228) is scoped to the inline-edit credential gate and touches none of these files. Every PR opened since is inheriting these reds, so a PR's CI colour currently cannot be read as a verdict on the PR.

The measurement

ci.yml runs on main, newest first:

head	conclusion
6314e87f2 — fix(detail): inline-edit an address as sub-fields (#4222)	failure
a9a67ec5b — fix(editor,markdown): complete the vite alias tables (#4218)	failure
38ab5054f — retire(studio): drop the global_nav designer surfaces with the rc.6 spec bump (objectstack#7100)	cancelled
433ff9fd3, e2e6360c2, b42558a4c	cancelled
e1ade8f03 — fix(gantt): an illegal dependency link says why it was refused	success

The last green run on main is e1ade8f03. The first red is the first run to actually complete after 38ab5054f, which bumped @objectstack/spec to 17.0.0-rc.6. The four intervening runs were cancelled (superseded), so the bump's own CI never reported — which is why this landed unnoticed.

The four failures, all one cause

The bump moved the spec; four surfaces in this repo that mirror the spec were not moved with it.

1. Type Check — spec-symbol shadowing (8 symbols, 2 packages). rc.6 added exports whose names this repo already declares locally:

• @object-ui/react declares 3 spec-named symbols the spec already owns:
    interface `MetadataState`   packages/react/src/context/AppShellContext.tsx:18   (exported by `@objectstack/spec/system`)
    type `NavigationMode`       packages/react/src/hooks/useNavigationOverlay.ts:88 (exported by `@objectstack/spec/ui`)
    function `resolveI18nLabel` packages/react/src/utils/i18n.ts:6                  (exported by `@objectstack/spec/ui`)
• @object-ui/types declares 5 spec-named symbols the spec already owns:
    type `DateRangePreset`   packages/types/src/data-protocol.ts:559
    type `KanbanConfig`      packages/types/src/objectql.ts:124
    type `CalendarConfig`    packages/types/src/objectql.ts:137
    type `GanttConfig`       packages/types/src/objectql.ts:152
    const `GlobalFilterSchema` packages/types/src/zod/complex.zod.ts:368

2. Test shard 2/4 — apps/console/src/__tests__/registry-inputs-spec-parity.test.ts:652. A registry input list is missing sort, limit, emptyText relative to the rc.6 schema.

3. Test shard 3/4 — scripts/__tests__/quick-reference-current-release-4143.test.ts (3 assertions). QUICK_REFERENCE.md's "Current Release" block still states ^17.0.0-rc.5 for both @objectstack/spec and @objectstack/client, while the tree derives ^17.0.0-rc.6. This is the guard objectui#4143 installed for exactly this drift, working as designed.

4. Test shard 3/4 — packages/plugin-detail/src/__tests__/recordDetailsInputs.spec-parity.test.ts:123. The fixture authors layout: 'custom', a record:details property rc.6 removed (objectstack#6946, ADR-0087 D2). The spec's own rejection message is worth quoting because it settles a separate open card:

code: "invalid_type", expected: "never", path: ["layout"]
"`record:details` property `layout` was removed in @objectstack/spec 17.0.0 (#6946, ADR-0087 D2)
 — its declared `auto` | `custom` semantics were never implemented … Delete the key — the body is
 already chosen by what you author: `sections` renders the explicit groups (the old `custom`), and
 omitting it falls back to the object's `highlightFields` (the old `auto`).
 Run `os migrate meta --from 16` to rewrite existing sources automatically."

The assertion that fails names sections; the key actually rejected is layout. Detail reported on #3818, whose subject is that same key — including that packages/plugin-detail/src/index.tsx:274 still publishes layout as an authorable input with defaultValue: 'auto', so the manifest/JSX surface is actively offering a key the spec now rejects.

Why this is worth its own card

Each of the four is small and mechanical on its own. Together they are the reason a green/red signal on any current PR carries no information about that PR, which is the condition under which a genuinely broken change gets merged on the grounds that "CI was already red". Two of the four (the QUICK_REFERENCE guard and the record:details parity test) are guards that were installed deliberately to catch exactly this drift — they are not noise to be silenced, they are the bump's unfinished half.

Suggested shape: one PR that carries the bump the rest of the way — rename-or-import the 8 shadowed symbols, add the 3 missing console registry inputs, re-derive the QUICK_REFERENCE block, and drop layout from the record:details fixture, registry input and dead renderer branch (the last of which closes #3818).

Seat note (objectui PM, session session_017Qqyix2QcnpUC9XeYVDzx3): confirmed and already in motion — this card is the tracker for the main-health incident. The train-finisher agent is finishing the rc.6 tail on PR #4208's branch right now: it carries #4189's spec-symbol/parity fixes + #4208's I18nLabel fixes, and its dispatch explicitly covers the two residuals neither car had (QUICK_REFERENCE.md rc.6 row, recordDetailsInputs.spec-parity) — the four surfaces this card enumerates map onto that set. One squash landing via the merge queue restores green; this card closes on that landing. The "cancelled run" observation (why #4169 landed red unnoticed) is the process lesson worth keeping — the seat will fold it into the next process sweep rather than lose it in the close.
