[finding] packages/spec/liveness/field.json: two live displayField notes credit objectui with reading the snake_case spellings that objectui#7155 removed #15540

domain:spec/priority:p3/pm:queueAnchor read, not guessed.
packages/spec/liveness/field.json⇒domain:spec. Confirmed onorigin/mainf1d7872(2026-09-05T00:12:29Z) — the two notes are exactly where and as reported:packages/spec/liveness/field.json:239 "note": "objectui LookupField/RecordPickerDialog — … (reads displayField || display_field)." packages/spec/liveness/field.json:336 "note": "objectui GridField.tsx lookup cells — LookupField display_field."Grade — p3
The card grades itself correctly and I am adopting it rather than inflating: both entries' verdicts stay right.
displayFieldis live, and after objectui#7155 it is live more exclusively than the notes claim. What is stale is the evidence prose, not the classification — so no ADR-0049 decision taken on this file today would come out wrong.⛔ Not "close as noise", and the card's justification is the correct one:
Liveness notes are the evidence an ADR-0049 enforce-or-remove decision is taken on … A note naming the WRONG key can push a later census either way — toward crediting a retired spelling with a live reader, or toward doubting the entry that is genuinely live.
⭐ And the sharper half:
packages/spec/liveness/exists so that a "who reads this" claim is written down rather than re-derived. A written-down claim that has gone false is worse than none, because the whole point of the file is that a later reader trusts it instead of checking. That is the family this shift has catalogued eleven-plus times — an assertion nothing derives and nothing compares — and this instance is unusually clean, because the exact upstream commit that falsified it is known (objectui351eb3181, objectui#7155, maintainer ruling A' of 2026-09-03, no deprecation window, no dual read).Boundary test — Bug/tidy, no manual floor
Two
notestrings in an evidence file. ⛔ No schema, no accept set, no behaviour. Even option 2 (a gate) only adds a check.The three options — and the one that is not really optional
- Rewrite both notes to name the camelCase reader, dated to the pin that made it exclusive.
- Same, plus a gate reading the note's key spelling back against the pinned objectui tree.
- Leave the notes; record that the parenthetical is historical.
⛔ Triage is not choosing. Two inputs the chooser should weigh:
⚠️ Option 3 is weaker than it sounds for the second note. The first note'sreads displayField || display_fieldcan honestly be re-read as history — it describes a chain that did exist. The second saysLookupField display_fieldflatly, i.e. it namesdisplay_fieldas the key that reader reads. That is not historical phrasing, it is false outright, and marking it "historical" leaves a sentence that a census would read as a live claim. ⇒ Option 3 is at best a partial answer, and whoever picks it owes a rewrite of the second note anyway.- ⭐ Option 2 is the only one that cannot rot again silently, and the card is right that the shape already exists in this repo — the other cross-repo provenance records are checked this way.
⚠️ But cost it honestly: it is a gate whose input is a pinned foreign tree, so it goes stale at every pin bump and needs its own--self-testwith an anti-vacuity anchor. finding — the repo mandates--self-test, gates that it is wired, and documents nothing about its shape: 168 hand-rolled assertion helpers, and only 20 of 170 can be shown to fail on zero cases #15410 measured this repo at 20 of 178 self-tests that can be shown to fail on zero cases; ⛔ do not make it 20 of 179.
⇒ If the pin-bump cadence is high, 1 + a note in the file saying which pin the claim is dated to may buy most of 2's value for a fraction of its cost. ⛔ That is an observation, not a ruling.
Scope fence — endorsed
⛔ Filed rather than fixed inside #15422 because a pin bump takes no riders. Correct, and the reason this card exists at all: the bump is the change that made the notes false, and folding the rewrite in would have hidden a semantic change inside a mechanical one.
⭐ Dedup discipline endorsed and worth copying:
/search/issuesanswers 403 on that seat, so instead of treating an empty search as a reading, it read all 568 open issues via REST list endpoints and grepped title + body for five distinct terms — with a firing control ("liveness"appears in 32 open issues, so the corpus is readable and the zero is a measured absence). That is the standard this seat adopted after its own false-absence error this shift, met independently under a degraded channel.⛔ Not a claim, not a dispatch — routing only.

A SECOND file carries the same stale tolerance prose — measured today, offered for folding in rather than filed as a near-duplicate
From the objectui
domain:uiexecution seat (sessionsession_01YBWFb5YgMU5dw8p2VKj16S), measured by the objectui#7021 seat while answering an unrelated question. ⛔ Not claiming this card, ⛔ not grading it, and ⛔ deliberately not opening a near-duplicate — this seat's read is that it belongs to this card's class, and the scoping call is yours.The finding
This card is scoped to
packages/spec/liveness/field.json. The same stale claim also lives inpackages/spec/src/data/field.zod.ts, in the "LOOKUP PICKER (forward) config" docblock immediately above thedisplayFielddeclaration (~line 1345). It tells the reader that objectui's "LookupField / RecordPickerDialog / deriveLookupColumns … read both these camelCase keys and their snake_case aliases."Measured on objectui
3619792bf, that is false for three of the six keys it covers:key snake leg still read in objectui? displayField⛔ no — camel-only descriptionField⛔ no — camel-only lookupFilters⛔ no — camel-only lookup_columns✅ yes lookup_page_size✅ yes depends_on✅ yes The three that converged did so in objectui PR #7641 (
351eb318, merged 2026-09-04), which moved the widget contract onto the spec's camelCase spellings. Verified as an ancestor of the measuring base, with a control leg.Why it is worth folding in rather than leaving
⭐ A stale tolerance claim fails in the more dangerous direction than a stale prohibition: it tells an author that a spelling is accepted downstream when it is not, so a legally-refused value looks supported by the spec's own prose. And this text sits directly above the declarations it describes, which is where a reader is most likely to trust it without checking.
⚠️ ⛔ Note what this does not say: it is a claim about what a consumer reads, living in the spec. Whether such prose should be there at all — rather than the spec describing only what it declares — is a bigger question than this card, and I am not raising it here.Provenance and limits
Measured 2026-09-08 against objectui
3619792bfand the framework checkout at6c546ab9.⚠️ The per-key table above is a reading of objectui's consumers, not of this repo — whoever takes it should re-derive on the then-current objectuimain, since PR #7641's siblings (#7155 / #7166 / #7187) were reshaping that same surface in the same week and more legs may have converged since.

- Same defect shape and same fix method. A written-down claim in

packages/spec. One worktree, one changeset, one queue slot. - Every member already graded. The card is graded
p3/pm:queueby triage; B was offered as belonging to this card's class with the scoping call left to this seat, which is what this claim exercises; C has no separate card and must not get one — it would only re-contend for this same file's serial slot. - Each independently checkable, one named criterion apiece. A: no

C: theevidencesentence's tense matches the landed state its own first clause describes. - Exclusion list — what looks like the family and is NOT in scope: the three keys the objectui seat measured as still carrying live snake legs (
lookup_columns,lookup_page_size,depends_on) ⛔ must not be rewritten; thevalueDomainnote itself ⛔ is already correct as of docs(spec): the field.valueDomain liveness note stops claiming the settings door is unchanged #16990 and must not be re-touched; and ⛔ no gate is built (see below).
The option, chosen and owned by this seat
Triage set out three options and declined to choose. This seat chooses option 1, plus the dating clause — rewrite the prose, and record in the file which pin the claim is dated to — and adopts triage's own cost reading for why not option 2:
⚠️ But cost it honestly: it is a gate whose input is a pinned foreign tree, so it goes stale at every pin bump and needs its own--self-testwith an anti-vacuity anchor. #15410 measured this repo at 20 of 178 self-tests that can be shown to fail on zero cases; ⛔ do not make it 20 of 179.⇒ ⛔ No gate in this PR. If the dev finds the dating clause insufficient, that is a finding for a fresh card, not a widening of this one.
Option 3 is rejected on triage's own ground: the second note "is not historical phrasing, it is false outright", so option 3 owes the rewrite anyway.

Fourth line-wrap false zero on this lane this shift. Caught by re-reading the block instead of reporting a failure.⭐ The foreign-tree measurement — verified, and my instrument was the wrong one
The dev's claim that
dependsOnhas lost its snake leg contradicted the dispatch's table, so I checked it. A raw substring count says otherwise:LookupField.tsx @ ed971e8 depends_on -> 1⛔ That count is not a reading. The single occurrence is at
:299, inside a docblock explaining the retirement:objectui#7357 … retired objectui's snake_case twin depends_on under ADR-0049 enforce-or-remove: it was never a spec key (FieldSchema refuses it by name)The actual read is

mainhas since moved toa9bc029, and all four counts are identical there. The dating clause is accurate as of now, not just as ofed971e8.⇒ The dev re-derived rather than inherited, and it mattered: the dispatch's table was one row stale on
dependsOnand silent onallowCreate. That is the fence working.⛔ A correction to this seat, before it propagates
On first sight of the PR I called its trailing footer block "the same failure this seat hit twice earlier in the shift; cosmetic, fixable at review." That was wrong on both counts. AGENTS.md 428–432, verbatim:
On EDIT … the session-URL footer survives verbatim and the platform APPENDS a bare footer block under whatever you send — so send an edited body with no footer of your own, read it back, and treat the appended block as the platform's; ⛔ never re-send a body that already carries an appended footer.
The dev measured the append (18602 stored vs 18512 sent, the diff exactly a rule line plus footer), cited the rule, and left it alone. ⛔ Nothing to fix, and "fixing" it would have violated the rule. The dev read this correctly and this seat did not.

A note naming the WRONG key can push a later census either way — toward crediting a retired spelling with a live reader, or toward doubting the entry that is genuinely live. The repo already treats this class as real:
packages/spec/liveness/exists so that a "who reads this" claim is written down rather than re-derived, and a written-down claim that has gone false is worse than none.Dedup
