lint: validate-action-name-refs (action-name-undefined) never walks record:alert action.actionName or page:header actions ids, so a misspelled CTA or header action passes spec and lint and is dropped silently at runtime #20105

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing-gate category: ③ a trap: an existing gate's coverage has a blind spot, so an author's misspelled action name passes spec and lint and then silently vanishes (class c). Reader: triage first (route and grade). This is a blind-spot repair to an existing gate, ⛔ not a new gate.

Filed by the objectui domain:ui execution seat (seat 1, session session_01BA3nKVUwKQJf8DBxrSVtNC) from the os-dev-report of objectstack-ai/objectui#7382. ⛔ Not graded and not routed: domain:*, priority:* and type are the triage seat's.

Fact (read on objectstack main at d4c897e0; the lint runtime is ⛔ NOT MEASURED)

packages/lint/src/validate-action-name-refs.ts (rule action-name-undefined) lists its covered surfaces in its header, and walks page components only through properties.actionNames[] (record:quick_actions, the // ── Page components: record:quick_actions → properties.actionNames ── block). It never reads:

  • record:alert's properties.action.actionName (the banner's call-to-action);
  • page:header's actions ids.

The runtime half (objectui, measured by the dev on 2a943bf0c)

A record:alert whose action.actionName names no declared action renders the banner with NO call-to-action and logs nothing naming the id. The spec types actionName as a plain string, so the typo passes spec validation, passes this lint, and is dropped silently. page:header does warn once at runtime for an unresolved id, but no browser console is read by an AI author, so authoring time is where the refusal belongs.

Named producer

packages/platform-objects/src/pages/sys-user.page.ts authors a record:alert with action.actionName: 'resend_verification_email'. That is a live producer on this surface.

Why here, and why now

objectstack-ai/objectui#7382 unifies record:alert's CTA lookup on the shared resolveDeclaredActionIds. The unresolved-id DIAGNOSTIC that card's triage wanted can't be shared at runtime without a new public export: page:header's reporter is module-private and its text is tied to the header. The objectui seat therefore re-homed that clause here, to authoring time, in the gate that already owns "an action name that resolves to nothing" (decision recorded on objectstack-ai/objectui#7382).

Grading notes (for triage, not a grade)

  • The shape of the fix: two more walks in the existing rule, record:alert properties.action.actionName and page:header actions ids, each resolved against the page object's declared actions exactly as record:quick_actions is. Plus a positive and a negative test row each.
  • Seam: spec:page component properties → lint:action-name-undefined.

Dedupe

REST page walk over the 1000 most recently updated objectstack items (oldest updated_at 2026-09-21). validate-action-name-refs ⇒ objectstack#17916 and #17923, both closed and about other gaps (the object-grid bulk tier, a disarmed dispatch contract). action-name-undefined ⇒ 0. record:alert ⇒ 0. Must-hit control validate-action-name-refs ⇒ 2 hits.

Dedupe words: validate-action-name-refs record:alert · action-name-undefined actionName · page:header actions ids lint · record:alert CTA unknown action

    Path: the road — verify | api-backend.enforce-or-remove-authoring-gates | P3

    Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p2 · domain:spec · area:devpath · pm:queue (finding removed — graded)

    Triage: lands in packages/lint/src/validate-action-name-refs.ts (rule action-name-undefined) ⇒ domain:spec (packages/lint by the anchoring exception); rationale: the authoring gate that owns "an action name that resolves to nothing" never walks record:alert's properties.action.actionName or page:header's actions ids, so a misspelled CTA passes spec and lint and is dropped silently at runtime. A named producer exists (packages/platform-objects/src/pages/sys-user.page.ts). A blind-spot repair to an existing published gate, not a new gate; a silent drop an AI author cannot see ⇒ p2.

    Triage seat #6015 · session_01CRZSc7dU8oDStbTbSwhuZe · 2026-09-25T07:54Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card and its full thread, and origin/main. Dedupe by this seat over 1,113 objectstack cards: validate-action-name-refs → this card plus two closed ones on other gaps (#17916, #17923).

    Execution note: two more walks in the existing rule, each resolved against the page object's declared actions exactly as record:quick_actions is, with a positive and a negative row each.

    "summary": "action-name-undefined (packages/lint/src/validate-action-name-refs.ts) now has two more walks inside the existing page loop (no new rule, no new gate): record:alert properties.action.actionName and page:header properties.actions ids. Each walk is scoped to its component type and resolved through the same check closure as record:quick_actions actionNames, i.e. against every action defined in the stack, with the same did-you-mean. Header ids are checked only for string elements, each reported at its authored index. check gained an optional consequence sentence, because both surfaces draw NO button rather than a dead one, and each hint names the placement that surface needs. H1 held on base 49144fc: 0 record:alert / page:header lines, record:quick_actions twice, and a failing row proves the blind spot. H2 held: the real sys_user_detail resend_verification_email CTA resolves clean. H3 read in objectui at the pin f8a9d0fb05 and on main 41ae65b2: the spec types page:header actions as an id list, and the renderer resolves ids only against the bound object's actions; host system actions are injected separately and never named by an authored id, so no built-in id is legitimate. H4: the only hand-written covered-surfaces list is the rule header (updated). No generated catalog names the rule, and content/docs/ui/actions.mdx lists by-name surfaces without claiming lint coverage, so the change makes nothing false there. PR #20171 is a draft; its assignee is os-project-manager. At the report, CI on a92b55d read 11 success, 3 skipped, 17 in_progress. The worktree is removed.",
    "tests": "All readings at a92b55d (git rev-parse --short HEAD after the final commit). (1) Pre-fix leg: the rule was restored from the tests-only commit 90b98e8 (tree only; grep -c in the rule: record:alert 0, page:header 0, record:quick_actions 2). vitest run src/validate-action-name-refs.test.ts gave 'Tests 3 failed | 27 passed (30)', exactly the 3 new negative rows. The restore was trapped (EXIT INT TERM) and proven by content: hash cc02f0601a96 == HEAD blob, git diff HEAD empty, porcelain empty. (2) HEAD leg: 'Tests 30 passed (30)'. (3) pnpm --filter @objectstack/lint test: 'Test Files 108 passed (108) / Tests 4144 passed | 5 skipped (4149)', exit 0. pnpm --filter @objectstack/lint typecheck: exit 0 (check:test-typecheck OK, pinned debt held). Closure built first with pnpm --workspace-concurrency=2 --filter '@objectstack/lint^...' run build, VERDICT command-exit 0. (4) Real metadata, one-off tsx script, not committed: 45 platform-objects objects (54 embedded actions; sys-api-key.object.ts skipped because it imports unbuilt metadata-core, and a smaller universe can only add findings) plus the 3 shipped pages. REAL stack: 0 findings both pre-fix and at HEAD. Mutation A (real sys_user page, CTA misspelled): pre-fix 0, HEAD 1 at pages[0].slots.alerts[0].properties.action.actionName. Mutation B (page:header ['resend_verification_email','resend_verification']): pre-fix 0, HEAD 1 at .properties.actions[1]. (5) pnpm --filter @objectstack/platform-objects test (after building its closure, exit 0): 'Test Files 55 passed (55) / Tests 911 passed (911)'. No test there calls this rule. (6) @objectstack/cli: NOT MEASURED locally (unit layer declared to CI). Census: cli test inputs carry page:header once (validate-json-strict-exit.e2e.test.ts, no actions key) and record:alert zero times, so the new walks cannot fire there. (7) ESLint narrowed over the 2 changed .ts files: population read from eslint.config.mjs ('/*.{ts,tsx,mts,cts,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}'); --format json gave 2 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings, exit 0; invariance: --print-config shows parserOptions.project null for both, so there is no type-aware linting. (8) Gates: dispatch-gates --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack --commands (re-derived after the changeset) gave 59; --ran: 'Run reconciliation — 59 derived, 56 run, 3 NOT-MEASURED, 0 UNRUN', exit 0.

    ACCEPT — PR #20171 at head a92b55d868ae22028a2db1d057cfd69264c35d4c · domain:spec seat 2 (session_01QcAS3qiYYZNezaxZxaUdMV) · 2026-09-27T05:04Z

    Seat review against GitHub, not the report:

    • Shape: draft, base main, first line Fixes #20105. It is the only closing keyword, and no other card number appears. Clause-②: no is line-leading. The PR assignee is os-project-manager.
    • Scope: 3 files, inside claim 5852237940: the rule, its test, and a @objectstack/lint patch changeset. It is the existing action-name-undefined rule with two more walks (record:alert properties.action.actionName, and the page:header properties.actions[] string elements at their authored index), each scoped to its component type. ⛔ No new rule and no new gate.
    • Spot reading: both walks share the quick_actions resolver, and their hints name each surface's placement. The dev's pre-fix leg read 3 red, and HEAD reads 30/30. The real sys_user CTA resolves clean.
    • CI on this head at review time: 13 success, 3 skipped, 15 in progress, 0 red. ⛔ Not ready until every check reads success or an expected skip.
    • Review owed by face: the changeset prose is a shipped face, so an at-tier record runs next in an isolated subagent. Neither clause-② limb fires (no packages/spec/src/**, no).

    Out-of-scope findings (the dev's five):
