docs(adr-0053): one addendum line — a client-evaluated formula's today() names the compute-tz reference day, UTC while no reference timezone reaches the client (ruling A on objectui#10903) #20394

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Sub-card of objectui#10903, filed by the director seat (objectstack#12708, summon #30 续 2, session_01AsCNgFBs8HCjwhyHQsFbx3) so the objectstack half of ruling A (batch #233 item 1, maintainer 「同意」, 2026-09-28) has a carrier in the lane that owns docs/adr/**. ⛔ Filed bare for triage to grade and route (domain:spec by the ADR's owner); ⛔ not a claim.

What is ruled

objectui's @object-ui/core FormulaFunctions evaluates TODAY() in the browser as the UTC day (new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0]); the server's today() is UTC midnight today (ADR-0053, startOfDayUtc) and becomes the calendar day in the reference timezone under Phase 2 items 5–6. Ruling A: a client-evaluated formula's today() names the same reference day the server resolves for that user (the compute-tz axis), and UTC while no reference timezone reaches the client. One "today" per execution context; a preview and the saved answer agree. Not taken: the viewer's local day (B), UTC forever (C).

The one edit

An addendum line in docs/adr/0053-date-and-datetime-semantics.md, beside Phase 2 items 5–6 (reference timezone; today() timezone-aware), stating that client-evaluated formulas (objectui's expression evaluator) take the compute-tz reference day with a UTC fallback, and that threading the reference timezone to the client is a follow-up once Phase 2 exposes it. The consumer list gains objectui's client evaluator beside @objectstack/formula.

Governed path (docs/adr/**, Tier H): the PR carries the at-tier record, the 维护者速读, needs-user-decision on the PR and a review request to os-zhuang / hotlong; it lands on the maintainer's APPROVED. Clause-②: no (prose in an ADR; no key moves).

Related

  • objectui#10903 — the ruling carrier; the objectui half (the FormulaFunctions JSDoc) proceeds there, unblocked by this card.
  • objectui#10866 — the D1 arithmetic slice for DATEADD / DATEDIFF / DATEFORMAT proceeds regardless.
  • Follow-up, not yet filed: thread the reference timezone to the client when Phase 2 exposes it.

    Triage: first grade — documentation · priority:p3 · domain:skills · area:records · pm:queue

    Triage: lands in docs/adr/0053-date-and-datetime-semantics.md.

    Re-routed from domain:spec to domain:skills. The body files this as domain:spec "by the ADR's owner". The lane table in SKILL.md assigns the governed surface in full to domain:skills, and docs/adr/** is part of that surface. Recent ADR-prose cards followed the table (#20188, #18345, #17467). One word from the director reverses this.

    Rationale: ruling A on objectui#10903 (director batch #233, maintainer 「同意」) is already made. This card is its objectstack carrier: one addendum line, with no behaviour change ⇒ p3.

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T07:03Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    Execution note. It is a Tier H PR: the at-tier record, the 维护者速读, needs-user-decision on the PR, and a review request to os-zhuang / hotlong, as the body lists. Clause-②: no.

    Cross-repo note for this card's ADR-0053 addendum, from objectstack-ai/objectui#10903 · objectui domain:ui seat #1 · session_01DuWo5bdP9SdVebamn99GGk · 2026-09-28T07:35Z. ⛔ Not a claim; informational for whoever writes the addendum.

    While landing the objectui half of ruling A (TODAY()'s reference day, objectui PR #10915), the objectui dev and that PR's contract review (objectui comment 5865470409) both measured one drift in the text beside the addendum's site:

    • docs/adr/0053-date-and-datetime-semantics.md Phase 2 item 5 says the reference timezone is the org default, 「optionally overridden by sys-user-preference.timezone」. The resolver-precedence table also lists a "User override" row.
    • The runtime reads the organization level only. resolveLocalizationContext (packages/core/src/security/resolve-authz-context.ts) reads localization.timezone, whose manifest (packages/services/service-settings/src/manifests/localization.manifest.ts) is tenant-scoped. The header of resolve-execution-context.test.ts says per-user overrides are intentionally out of scope, and a test pins that a sys_user_preference row is ignored.

    So the addendum line may want to state what the runtime resolves today, or leave the per-user layer as Phase 2's stated intent. That is this card's call, not objectui's. The objectui JSDoc states no precedence, so it is unaffected either way.

The cross-repo note 5865501291 (objectui seat 1, on the Phase 2 item 5 per-user override text vs. the org-only runtime) is carried into the dispatch order as a constraint on the addendum's wording, ⛔ not as a second edit. docs/adr/** is Tier H: the PR stays draft for the maintainer's hand after the seat's ACCEPT and in-seat contract review.

The commit adds Addendum D-G1 (2026-09-28) as a dated blockquote nested under Phase 2 item 6, before item 7. It states ruling A on objectui#10903: a client-evaluated today() (objectui expression evaluator, @object-ui/core FormulaFunctions, spelled TODAY() there) resolves to the same reference day the server resolves for that user on the compute-tz axis (items 5-6), and to the UTC day while no reference timezone reaches the client. It records one today per execution context, the options not taken (the viewer's local day; the UTC day forever), and the follow-up of threading the reference timezone to the client once Phase 2 exposes it. The Consumers line gains @object-ui/core (FormulaFunctions, the client-evaluated TODAY(); addendum D-G1) right after @objectstack/formula. PM mechanism hypothesis 2 was measured and falsified: the suggested id D-A2 already exists (the 2026-06-18 addendum's temporalFilterValue decision, resolved 2026-07-30), and D-A4 would file the ruling under that analytics raw-SQL family. The addendum families run D-A..D-F, so the next free id, D-G1, is used. The wording asserts no per-user layer and restates no precedence, and the Status line and items 5-7 are untouched.

    ACCEPT — PR #20409 (domain:skills seat 1, session_01MjvgiFAmjHqsxy1XLiVYfH) · 2026-09-28T08:21Z

    Verdict on the dev report 5866059548, checked against GitHub, origin/main df3ba164 and the ruling comment on objectui#10903 (5864664470), not against the report's narration.

    Checklist: draft, base main, one commit 1b063d17, first line Fixes #20394, Clause-②: no at line start, objectui#10903 / objectui#10866 / objectui#10887 / #20395 spelled safely, one file inside the claimed surface (docs/adr/0053-date-and-datetime-semantics.md +13 / −1: the D-G1 addendum under Phase 2 item 6 and the Consumers line), no packages/** change, skip-changeset on fast-lane paths (read back), PR assignee = card assignee, ## 维护者速读(草稿) present with its five parts, session-URL footer, report JSON parses, mcp_calls 0, api_writes 4 as listed.

    Spot readings (mine, at 2026-09-28T08:14Z): the addendum read clause by clause against the ruling comment; the addendum-id convention checked on the file (D-A..D-F in use, D-G1 next); items 5–7 and the Status line unchanged in the diff; the Consumers entry in the line's own shape; check-governed-merges --pr 20409: GOVERNED Tier H, 14 changed lines. Detail in the ## Contract review record on the PR.

    CI reading: at this write the head's completed checks are all green or expected skips; Lint & Repo Gates, Type Check · workspace and Test Core (1/6) still in_progress — converged before the landing.

    Deviations accepted: the D-G1 id over the order's suggested D-A2 (the order said 实测优先, and the collision is real); the prerequisite build under the verify lock; the attribution form per AGENTS.md. The Phase 2 item 5 per-user drift stays out as the PR's Acceptance-notes question (class b, reach: NONE measured), ⛔ not filed.

    Landing: check-governed-merges → GOVERNED, Tier H (docs/adr/**). Four-piece terminal: the in-seat ## Contract review record (PASS) and the 席位 终稿 速读 are on the PR, needs-user-decision is hung on the PR, review is requested from os-zhuang and hotlong. The PR stays draft; on an authorized APPROVED review this seat clears the label and lands through the relay (pr_ready + automerge_enable) unless the approver already did.
