17.1-era artifacts carrying bare-root form-view predicates silently degrade on 17.2: unbound root faults open, conditionally-hidden fields render and their required: true dead-ends console record creation — no ADR-0087 conversion covers the predicate-root move #12915
Description
Activity
Maintainer ruling recorded (2026-08-28, live PM chat) — scope C approved, A deferred with an explicit start line.
Verbatim, untranslated: 「同意C」 — in response to the recommendation "C 现在做,A 立卡定死启动线" (C = loud versioned detection at the artifact door; A = the full ADR-0087 predicate-root conversion). Follow-up clarification asked and answered in the same chat: the loud warning lands at service startup, server-side, operator-facing (the same channel as the #12843 conversion summaries) — NOT in the frontend. Both SaaS shapes are covered by the same funnel: single-DB multi-org boots the artifact once (one notice, read by the operator who alone can rebuild); per-tenant-DB kernels each pass the same door at their own boot. A console/end-user surface is explicitly out of scope — the person at the form cannot act on "your artifact is stale".
Scope C (this card, dispatching now): at the framework artifact door, inside the same versioned window #12843 built (declared floor below the running spec), detect form-view predicates whose root identifier is not in the bound vocabulary (
record/previous/parent/data), and surface ONE deduped operator warning per artifact naming the affected views, the fault-open consequence, and the rebuild prescription. No behaviour change: no refusal, no rewrite, no spec/contract change. Landing: policy helper besideapplyArtifactForwardConversionsinpackages/metadata-core, wiring inpackages/metadata—Part ofthis card, notFixes.Scope A (deferred, stays recorded here): the expression-rewriting conversion (bare root →
record.root, field-name-aware) in the spec conversions registry. Start line ruled: must land before cloud serves customer-built artifacts on centrally-upgraded runtimes (the objectstack-ai/cloud#1688 era — cloud's composed door consuming the conversion policy is the last rail before customer artifacts ride it). Prerequisite premise to pin before design: the exact historical contract status of bare-root spellings (contract, or a then-evaluator accident). After C merges, this card is re-gradedpm:on-holdcarrying that restart condition rather than closed.Routing note: labels set under the maintainer direct-dispatch channel (standing authorization 2026-08-10); landing surface

No refusal, no rewrite, no behaviour change; zero packages/spec and packages/metadata-protocol edits; scope A not touched. Card premise verified on the tree and holds. Window posture verified in code rather than assumed: the notice reads the conversion pass's own verdict, firing only on converted-forward and converted-undeclared (undeclared IS grandfathered as old data at rest), never on authored-current or runtime-version-unknown. ONE PM mechanism assumption refuted: the form-view predicate key set is visibleWhen plus the deprecated visibleOn alias on both field entries and sections, NOT the briefed visibleWhen/requiredWhen/readonlyWhen/visibleOn -- requiredWhen and readonlyWhen are declared on the OBJECT field schema (packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts), a different surface with its own scope, and are out of scope C. Per-option visibleWhen deliberately excluded (its evaluator also binds current_user). A real CEL parse was measured as unreachable: packages/formula would break metadata-core's spec-only dependency edge and spec exposes no parse, so a conservative tokenizer is used -- the same shape the spec's own enforced checkFormViewPredicateFeaturesRoot already takes for this exact question.

Warn-line wording changed: printing one flat list would either understate the field vocabulary (reading as 'your legitimate current_user predicate is broken') or quote a section rule at an operator with no section findings, so it now prints bound roots PER SURFACE and only for the surfaces the findings implicate. Two limits of the field binding deliberately do NOT change the detector's answer, and the module states why: it is a rendering rule not authorization (an authoring hazard, not version drift), and the /f/:slug unboundness is equally true of a freshly built CURRENT artifact, so it says nothing about the artifact's era -- the only thing this notice claims to detect.", "tests": "Union re-run on final commit 330e4b85b (working tree clean, branch pushed).

Scope A — NOT PLANNED, archived for reference
Maintainer rulings, verbatim and untranslated (2026-08-28, live PM chat): 「同意C」, then 「那就挂A，然后直接not planned，留作备查。」
What A would be: an ADR-0087 conversion rewriting bare-identifier form-view predicate roots to the
record.root for artifacts whose declared floor predates the root move — riding the #12843 door automatically once registered.Why not now (four-axis, recorded): it solves exactly ONE era class, not the family; it is the highest-risk conversion type (expression surgery — done wrong it silently corrupts predicate semantics, worse than fault-open); C already removed the dangerous part (silence); today zero deployments carry an artifact that cannot simply be rebuilt.
The re-decision checkpoint (reopen this card then): when cloud begins serving customer-built artifacts on centrally-upgraded runtimes — the objectstack-ai/cloud#1688 era is the last rail before that. At that point weigh, in order of preference:
- Cloud-side rebuild-on-upgrade (pipeline policy: cloud holds project sources, so a platform upgrade re-runs the build) — zero conversion risk, likely makes A unnecessary;
- The expression-rewriting conversion (A proper) — only if rebuild is infeasible for some artifact class;
- Nothing beyond C's notice — if the affected class turns out empty.
Premises to pin before any A design (both recorded, neither measured):
- The exact historical contract status of bare roots (contract, or a then-evaluator accident) — determines whether a rewrite is a conversion or an amnesty;
- The OBJECT field schema's
requiredWhen/readonlyWhen(packages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts) bind their own scope — whether pre-move artifacts carry bare roots THERE with the same fault-open shape was not measured in this card's work (noted by the scope-C dev, deliberately unfiled).
General-class note: the recurring pattern ("contract tightening degrades era-built artifacts") is guarded by the #12843 rail (any future conversion entry plugs in) and by review discipline on tightening PRs — not by scope A, which covers only this instance.
Closed not planned — the card IS the archive; reopening is free at the checkpoint above.

This is the Artifacts built by released 17.x tooling are REFUSED by the 17.2 runtime: retired-key tombstones fire at artifact parse, and no artifact-ingestion door runs the ADR-0087 conversion that exists for exactly this #12772 shape one layer up: the artifact parses now, but a semantic surface the era legally authored is silently broken.Why this lands here (not objectui, not hotcrm)
The pinned console behaves per the current contract (fault open — and the loud-rejection precedent for unbound roots is the 2026-08-27
features.*ruling recorded on view.zod.ts). The era-compatibility fix surface is the ADR-0087 conversions registry inpackages/spec: a versioned conversion rewriting bare-identifier form-view predicate roots to therecord.root for artifacts whose declared floor predates the root move. The rail for applying it already exists: PR #12843'sapplyArtifactForwardConversionsreplays the registry (retired entries included) at every framework artifact door, keyed off the artifact's declared floor — a new registry entry plugs straight in, M2-return semantics preserved by the same versioned-window rule.Open design point for triage/spec seat: the rewrite needs a field-name-aware guard (only prefix identifiers that name fields of the view's object; leave
has(...)args and non-field identifiers alone), and a ruling on whether fault-open for still-unconverted spellings should become loud likefeatures.*.Impact
Any pre-move artifact using the visibility-gated-required authoring pattern dead-ends record creation in the console UI for those objects (API unaffected). For the single-DB SaaS posture this is tenant-facing: a tenant admin cannot create a lead through the UI on an artifact-deployed hotcrm of that era.
