fix(types,plugin-detail): stop publishing the retired owner field type (#4914)

[os-steve]

Part of #4914 — the dispatched fast-follow scope only: items 1-3 (the published contract twins) + item 5 (InlineFieldInput). Items 4 and 6-15 stay recorded on that card, so this must not close it.

Follows #4814 / PR #4915 (merged 05:38Z), which retired the owner field-type spelling under ruling A′ and gave it a loud tombstone. That PR shrank the three public doc unions; this one shrinks their code twins, so the types package and the renderer finally agree.

Premise check (all four faces re-verified on this branch, post-#4915)

All four measured faces were present exactly as reported. Nothing was already gone, nothing had moved.

face	measured
packages/types/src/zod/reports.zod.ts:49	runtime Zod enum still accepted type: 'owner'
packages/types/src/reports.ts:105	ReportField['type'] still offered it
packages/types/src/field-types.ts:584	UserFieldMetadata.type was 'user' | 'owner'
packages/plugin-detail/src/InlineFieldInput.tsx:107,290	routing set + isUserRef branch both live

#2231 / #2890 overlap check (owed by the claim): no collision. Both cards scope packages/types/src/zod/objectql.zod.ts (the ListViewSchema legacy-vocabulary phases) and zod/views.zod.ts (DetailViewSchema). Neither names reports.zod.ts, reports.ts or field-types.ts. The #2890 phase list (fields→columns, densityMode→rowHeight, the show* family, filters→filter, objectName→data.provider) touches no line this PR edits.

What changed

@object-ui/types — the three twins shrink. The Zod enum is the half that mattered most: it is a published runtime validator, so the contradiction was executable, not merely advisory — a report document authored with type: 'owner' validated green and then rendered a refusal. The two TS unions were the .d.ts autocomplete half, i.e. the surface an AI author copies from. Each carries a retirement comment naming the card and its twin, in the style PR #4915 used on bulkParamToField / paramToField.

@object-ui/plugin-detail — inline edit joins the tombstone. A retired spelling now renders the same RetiredFieldTombstone the record form does, read live from @object-ui/fields' RETIRED_FIELD_TYPES (never copied), reported once per spelling rather than once per row. Placed after the widget-hint branch, mirroring the form's own precedence.

The finding that changed the shape of this fix

The dispatch framed item 5 as "remove the two members, then make sure the removal is not silent". Measured, removing the two members alone changes nothing an author could see:

hasFieldEditWidget('owner') === true

packages/fields/src/FieldEditWidget.tsx:85 still maps owner: UserField in EDIT_WIDGETS, and resolveInlineEditType returns a type unchanged when it is already a key — so the alias table is never consulted and the retirement never applies. With the routing member deleted, the type simply reaches the same person picker down the delegation road instead of the routing road.

Verified directly during reverse verification (refusal branch ablated, both deletions in place): tombstone: false, plainTextInput: false, one element with role=button reading Select…. So the refusal branch is the only behavior-changing half; the two deletions are hygiene that moves in lockstep with it. Both source comments say this, because the naive reading is wrong in a way that would mislead the next editor.

EDIT_WIDGETS:85 is not one of the faces #4914 enumerates (that card lists FieldEditWidget.tsx:170, the cosmetic COMPACT_EDIT_TYPES set). Filed as #4931, a sub-issue of #4914 — out of this dispatch's file surface, untouched here. InlineFieldInput itself is fully protected regardless, since the refusal runs before both roads; the exposed consumer is the grid's inline cell editor.

Tests

• packages/types/src/__tests__/owner-retired-contract-twins.test.ts — the Zod half pinned by refusal envelope (exactly one issue, type path, invalid_value, offered vocabulary lacks owner and still has user), not a bare success === false; the survivor idiom { type: 'user', name: 'owner' } pinned by a full green parse; a sibling-vocabulary check so the shrink cannot over-reach. The two TS halves pinned with @ts-expect-error, real enforcement here because packages/types/tsconfig.test.json is chained from type-check.
• packages/plugin-detail/src/__tests__/InlineFieldInput.retiredFieldType.test.tsx — the refusal envelope (testid, role=alert, data-retired-field-type, the prescription text), both wrong outcomes pinned (a working picker and a quiet text box), once-per-spelling console dedupe, an expanded-value case, user unaffected, an unknown type left on its pre-existing quiet fallback, and a structural check quantified over the whole RETIRED_FIELD_TYPES table so the next retirement is covered the day it lands.
• inlineEditTypeCoverage.test.tsx — comment refreshed; it explicitly said the routing set "still lists owner … not forced away here", which this PR makes false.

One deliberate non-assertion, stated because it looks like an omission: the test does not pin hasFieldEditWidget('owner') === true in either direction. That asymmetry belongs to #4931, and a pin on today's value would go red on the very fix that card proposes.

Verification, at final commit ddbf4d92e

Repo-root path-filter vitest; heavy runs under flock -E 99 -w 540 /tmp/os-heavy-verify.lock; dependency closures built before any type-check verdict.

packages/types/ + packages/plugin-detail/   Test Files 119 passed (119)   Tests 1230 passed (1230)

@object-ui/plugin-detail type-check         tsc --noEmit && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json -> Done

check:self-import      OK      check:phantom-deps  OK
check:published-dist   OK (39 published packages)
changeset:check        OK

Downstream consumer sweep — this is a contract narrowing, so the dependents direction is the one that matters: pnpm --filter '...@object-ui/types' build then type-check — all green, covering plugin-report (the real ReportField consumer), plugin-view, plugin-list, plugin-designer, app-shell, apps/console, apps/site, examples/schema-catalog, examples/console-starter and the rest. No consumer was writing type: 'owner'; a repo-wide sweep for report fixtures spelling it found zero outside the fields package's own tombstone tests.

Reverse verification — direction predicted first, both legs from the committed state

Leg A (restore 'owner' to all three type faces). Predicted: Zod pin red on the refusal test; the two TS pins red at type-check, not vitest, and in the inverted shape — the expected error disappears rather than an illegal value being accepted. Observed exactly that:

Tests  1 failed | 4 passed (5)        # expect(result.success).toBe(false) -> received true
owner-retired-contract-twins.test.ts(104,7): error TS2578: Unused '@ts-expect-error' directive.
owner-retired-contract-twins.test.ts(119,7): error TS2578: Unused '@ts-expect-error' directive.

Leg B (drop the refusal branch, keep both deletions). Predicted: the retired field reaches a working person picker via delegation, so the tombstone assertions redden while the plain-text-input assertion stays green — the delegation road, not a text box. Observed:

Tests  4 failed | 6 passed (10)
AssertionError: expected [ one button element ] to have a length of +0 but got 1
probe: { tombstone: false, plainTextInput: false, buttons: 1, firstButtonText: "Select…", anyInput: false }

Both legs restored byte-identically via git checkout ddbf4d92e -- followed by the edited paths (git diff HEAD empty afterwards). No dist-ablation concern: these suites import from source, not dist/.

Changeset

Real patch changeset on @object-ui/types (published accept-set + type-surface shrink) and @object-ui/plugin-detail (behavior change). No skip-changeset label — that label does not exist in this repo (#4912), and this PR publishes real changes anyway.
