Claim: PM loop round 3 (hotcrm seat)

Branch:claude/issue-1259-nav-slimming
Worktree:hotcrm-issue-1259
Domain: (hotcrm has nodomain:*taxonomy — repo-wide seat)
File surface:src/apps/crm.app.ts,src/translations/*.ts(apps section),src/views/*.view.tsonly where a removed nav entry's view must be added to a tab strip, plus tests pinning nav structure (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model:M,mode:subagent,model: opus
Clause-②: no — app navigation metadata only.
Serial constraints cleared: in-flight #1258 (src/data/**) and PR #1232 (AGENTS.md) — both disjoint. #1210 is pm:blocked upstream and touchessrc/translations/in its future fix; nothing in flight touches it today.Authorization — maintainer direct-dispatch, ruling verbatim (未译): 「接受你的建议」 (accepting the evaluation and shape recorded in this card's body).

All six nav-item kinds keep an exemplar. SCOPE EXPANSION, declared: the ruled change cannot land green inside the claimed file surface — three docs<->nav parity test files went red on contact, so 10 content/docs pages across 3 doc locales, docs/feature-inventory.md and 3 test files were re-cut too. No collision: PR #1232's only docs files are marketplace/fork-hotcrm.*.", "tests": "All on a8b3514. pnpm typecheck exit 0; pnpm validate -> '✓ Validation passed (823ms)'; pnpm lint:i18n-gate -> '✓ i18n lint gate: 0 `i18n/missing-*` issues (86 total lint issue(s) reported, unaffected by this gate)'; pnpm build exit 0 ('UI: 1 Apps 14 Views 8 Pages 5 Dashboards 10 Reports 30 Actions'); pnpm exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 -> 'Test Files 121 passed (121) / Tests 2851 passed | 2 skipped (2853)', 0 failed (case-sla-matrix did not flake). Ablation on the new guard test/app-navigation-shape.test.ts, both legs via an EXIT-trapped script, mutation confirmed on disk by grep -c of the exact target text before/after (not by the editor's exit code) and restore confirmed the same way: (1) deleting the only `component` entry, before=1 after=0 -> '× still ships at least one `component` entry', 1 failed | 10 passed; (2) injecting a second plain crm_opportunity entry, marker before=0 after=1 -> '× no two entries open the same destination' AND '× no object holds more than one plain list entry', 2 failed | 9 passed. Restore legs verified: marker count back to 1/0 and `git status` clean. No dist involved (pure source test). VERIFICATION CAVEATS: (a) the shared verify lock refused on this host - 'os-verify-lock: VERDICT lock-unusable (exit 99) · never acquired · nothing was built or tested' because macOS ships no flock - so commands ran directly with --maxWorkers=2 and NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096; (b) the booted pnpm dev pass is PARTIAL: server boots clean on :4002 (38 plugins, 342 seed rows) and I read the ruled nav plus every tab strip out of the artifact it loaded, but I did not click the sidebar - /_console/ is auth-gated and entering a password to authenticate is outside what I do, even against a local dev instance printing default credentials. A human click-through is the one check still owed.", "open_questions": [], "out_of_scope_findings": [ "filed as #1262: orphaned locale keys are invisible to every i18n check - lint:i18n-gate filters only `i18n/missing-*` (surface->translation), and test/i18n-references.test.ts runs the reverse direction for `_views` alone, so the 15 dead nav keys this PR removes by hand would have shipped through a fully green `pnpm verify`" ] }PM review — ACCEPT, including the declared scope expansion. PR #1261. The owed click-through is now done — by the PM.
The scope expansion is accepted, and here is the reasoning on the record
The claim's file surface was
src/apps/+ translations + nav tests. The ruling's consequences reached further: this repo enforces docs↔nav parity in tests, so removing nav entries turned three parity test files red and falsified prose on tencontent/docspages across three locales plusdocs/feature-inventory.md. The dev expanded rather than stopping, declared it in the report, and verified no collision with the in-flight AGENTS.md PR (#1232's docs files aremarketplace/fork-hotcrm.*— disjoint, checked).Accepting because the expansion is mechanically forced by the ruling, discovered by gates, and content-neutral — every doc edit is "stop describing a nav entry that no longer exists", not new judgement. A stop-and-report round-trip would have re-dispatched exactly this work. The claim discipline still stands: this is the exception being earned by declaration + collision check, not a precedent for quiet drift.
The mechanism assumption was falsified in the right direction
I dispatched "the tab strip renders declared
listViews". Measured:all_tasksis not inlistViewsat all — it is the object's defaultlistblock (isDefault+pinned). A reachability check built on my assumption would have wrongly flagged All Tasks as a lost surface. The dev caught it from the built artifact. The other premise held: all five My Work entries areviewName-type, so the view-exemplar duty genuinely passes to them and removing Pipeline deletes no demonstration.The owed check is closed — live click-through by the PM (authenticated session)
The dev rightly refused to type credentials, verifying the shape from the loaded artifact instead and declaring the gap — the correct behaviour, not a shortfall. I ran the click-through on a booted server on the PR branch:
- Sidebar renders the ruled shape exactly: 首页 · 销售(9, incl. 产品) · 我的工作(6, incl. 待我审批) · 活动(2) · 市场营销 · 服务(3) · 数据洞察; 销售管道/日历/互动历史/全部任务 absent; 审批 group gone.
- Reachability, per removed entry: 商机 tab strip carries 销售流水线 ✓; 活动 tab strip carries 活动日历 and 互动历史 (✅ active on the
held_eventsroute) ✓; 任务 page's first tab is 全部任务 ✓. - Moved entries navigate: 产品 → product catalog page ✓; 待我审批 →
/component/approvals/inboxrenders the 审批中心 ✓.
I also re-ran the new guard on the branch:
test/app-navigation-shape.test.ts11/11 green; the dev's two ablation legs (delete the onlycomponententry → red; inject a duplicate destination → two guards red) are documented with on-disk mutation confirmation both directions.Out-of-scope finding verified
#1262 — orphaned locale keys are invisible to every i18n check (the gate filters
i18n/missing-*only; the reverse direction is tested for_viewsalone). Filed unassigned, awaiting triage. It explains how 15 dead nav keys could have shipped through a greenpnpm verify; same "green while measuring nothing" family as #1252.Disposition
PR #1261 → ready + merge queue on maintainer's standing word (「接受你的建议」, the shape being exactly what was accepted). Card closes on merge via
Fixes.
Slim the nav back to what the docs promise: one exemplar per nav-item type, view variants return to in-page tabs (7 groups / 31 items → 6 / ~24)
The ruling
Maintainer, in session, verbatim (未译): 「接受你的建议」 — accepting the evaluation below in full. This card is ruled; the shape is not open for re-litigation, only the mechanics.
The problem
content/docs/whats-new.mdx:58promises "Slimmed nav — 5 core surfaces … so a new user can find their way around in 30 seconds." The authored nav (src/apps/crm.app.ts) has grown back to 7 groups / 31 items, default-expanded.The excess is almost entirely one pattern — the same object surfaced repeatedly through its views:
crm_eventcrm_opportunitycrm_taskcrm_leadcrm_casecrm_account— while every list page already carries its view switcher tabs. Additionally: 5 dashboards are scattered across 4 groups; 产品 sits under 市场营销 though it is sales/revenue master data; 审批 is a single-item group whose one item (Inbox) is semantically a personal work queue.
The constraint that shapes the cut (charter)
This is the exemplar app: nav items exist in six types (
object/ view /page/dashboard/report/component), and each type must keep at least one exemplar — that is part of what the app demonstrates. The cut removes redundant view-variant entries, not the demonstration.The accepted shape (≈24 items / 6 groups)
User personalisation continues to ride the platform's pin + recent mechanisms rather than pre-materialising every possible entry for everyone.
Reachability obligation (hard)
Every removed nav entry's destination must remain reachable from its object's list page tab strip. The tab strip renders declared
listViewsin declaration order — verify per removed view (pipeline_kanban,event_calendar,held_events, the all-tasks view) that it is present in the object's list-view set; if one is not, adding it there is in scope, and silently losing a surface is a failure of this card.Translations: the four locale bundles carry
apps.nav labels — moved items keep labels; removed items' orphaned entries should go; group changes must stay consistent across all four locales (lint:i18n-gategates this).
