chore(components): remove unread, unpublished component.yml metadata files

[yinlianghui]

Fixes #4659

What

Deletes packages/components/metadata/ (seven *.component.yml files:
ObjectGrid, ObjectForm, Page, Chart, Menu, GridLayout,
FilterBuilder) describing each component's props/events/features.

Why (adjudicated: delete, not "give them a reader")

This is a weaker instance of the established no-consumer retirement family:

• Unread. No source file, script under scripts/, or workflow references
  component.yml or components/metadata anywhere in the repo (verified with
  the card's own pointers plus an expanded sweep over apps/*/src,
  examples/, content/, README files, and tsconfig/eslint config globs).
• Unpublished. packages/components/package.json's files allowlist is
  ["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md", "LICENSE"] — the directory never
  leaves the repo.
• Ungated. Nothing checks a declared prop against the zod schema or the
  renderer, which is the check that would give the files a job.

Urgency limb — one of the files was actively lying.
ObjectGrid.component.yml's features: block declared:

features:
  remote_data: true
  virtual_scroll: true
  inline_edit: true
  view_zod_aligned: true

packages/plugin-grid (which implements object-grid) has zero
references to virtualScroll or virtual_scroll — confirmed with
grep -rn "virtualScroll\|virtual_scroll" packages/plugin-grid/. The claim
was false before objectstack#7176 retired the upstream list.virtualScroll
key; the retirement only removed any prospect of it becoming true. An agent
or contributor reading this file learns something false about the grid.

Per the delegated adjudication on the issue: giving the files a reader
(designer palette / docs generator / MCP capability manifest) is new product
surface with no measured consumer, and startup-focus reading favours removal
absent a real pull. Not building a reader for these files in this PR.

Verification

1. Zero-reference sweep (card's pointers, expanded):
   grep -rn "component\.yml\|components/metadata" scripts/ .github/workflows/ packages/*/src apps/*/src examples/ → no hits.
   A broader repo-wide sweep (content/, README files, tsconfig/eslint
   configs) also found no functional references — the only other hit anywhere
   in the tree is a prose mention of ObjectGrid.component.yml inside an
   already-existing, unreleased .changeset/lucky-pumas-repeat.md (from the
   objectstack#7176 unwind, PR refactor: unwind the retired striped/bordered/virtualScroll list-view surface (objectstack#7176) #4657), documenting a past edit — not a
   functional dependency.
2. Unpublished: confirmed packages/components/package.json files
   allowlist above.
3. False virtual_scroll claim: confirmed zero hits in plugin-grid/.

Tests

At dfceccd96 (final commit, matches pushed HEAD):

• pnpm --filter '@object-ui/components^...' build — dependency closure
  builds clean.
• pnpm exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 packages/components/ (root-relative
  invocation per AGENTS.md) — Test Files 130 passed (130),
  Tests 1116 passed (1116).
• pnpm --filter @object-ui/components type-check — clean (tsc --noEmit && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json).
• pnpm --filter @object-ui/components lint — 0 errors, 920 pre-existing
  warnings in src/ui/** (the Shadcn no-touch zone), none related to this
  change.
• node scripts/check-control-bytes.mjs — OK.
• node scripts/check-doc-links.mjs — links valid across 13 scan roots.
• node scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs — 0 of them under the src/ of a package the release covers ... No source of a released package changed in this range, so no changeset is owed. (metadata/ is not under src/.)

Changeset

Not added — check-changeset-presence.mjs judges none owed (see gate output
above); this only touches packages/components/metadata/, not src/.

PM review — ACCEPT (reviewer of record, session session_01RnQd8iMMUwXQEV1crFmQiQ)

Deletion-class PR, so per the dispatch commitment I re-tested all three reference faces independently on origin/main, not from the report:

1. Unread — confirmed. git grep -e "component\.yml" -e "components/metadata" on origin/main across scripts/, .github/, packages/, apps/, examples/ returns zero hits outside packages/components/metadata/ itself. A full-tree sweep finds exactly one additional hit: a prose filename mention in the pre-existing unreleased .changeset/lucky-pumas-repeat.md (PR refactor: unwind the retired striped/bordered/virtualScroll list-view surface (objectstack#7176) #4657's changeset) — documentation of a past edit, not a functional reference. Matches the dev's account exactly.
2. Unpublished — confirmed. packages/components/package.json files allowlist on origin/main is ["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md", "LICENSE"] — metadata/ never shipped.
3. False virtual_scroll claim — confirmed. Case-insensitive git grep for virtualScroll/virtual_scroll in packages/plugin-grid/ on origin/main: zero hits. The urgency limb (a metadata file actively lying about the grid) holds.

Scope check: git diff --stat origin/main...dfceccd96 is exactly the seven *.component.yml deletions, 252 lines, nothing else. Body scan: Fixes #4659 is the sole closing keyword (objectstack#7176 and PR #4657 are mentioned keyword-free). Labels: no skip-changeset recurrence — correctly omitted this time.

Changeset: none owed and none added — check-changeset-presence.mjs verdict quoted in the PR body is consistent with the change touching only metadata/, and the Changeset Declaration / Fixed Group checks are green at head.

Gates at dfceccd96: Lint, Test shards 1/4 and 3/4, Build & E2E, Control Byte Scan, doc-link and changeset checks all success; Type Check and shards 2/4, 4/4 still running. Will flip ready + enable auto-merge once the remaining three conclude success at this head.

This closes the no-consumer retirement family's last open member (#4152 → #4241 → #4659), on the delegated adjudication recorded on the card (delete, don't build a reader).
