finding(fields,app-shell,spec): 「is empty」 has three meanings across objectui and the spec ($null only, $exists, or "null OR empty string"), and the empty-string member may not reach typed SQL columns safely

Filing-gate category: ① a product defect with named sites (a divergence in one declared operator's meaning). Reader: triage first (route and grade; this may need a ruling), then the seat that claims it.

Filed by the domain:ui seat #2 (session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN). It comes from the dev report on objectui#10790 (5857754002, open_questions[0], option B) and the contract review of PR objectui#10807, which recommended this card. Every site was read at source; the SQL cast behaviour was NOT measured.

The three meanings of 「is empty」

The spec's authoring vocabulary. @objectstack/spec filter.zod.ts (AST_OPERATOR_MAP and the infix lowering) lowers is_empty / is_not_empty to $null only, which matches null or missing.
The app-shell dataset bridge. packages/app-shell/.../datasetFilterCondition.ts writes $exists for dataset.filter.
The fields widget. FilterConditionField (relatedListFilter, summaryOperations.filter, sys_sharing_rule.criteria_json) means "no value OR empty string". After PR objectui#10807 it writes { $or: [ { F: { $in: [''] } }, { F: { $null: true } } ] } and its complement. PR objectui#10807 kept that meaning on purpose, so that no stored rule re-scopes.

So one operator name, offered to authors in three builders, matches different record sets. The difference is whether a record whose value is '' is "empty", and whether a missing key differs from null.

The `''` member on typed columns

The widget offers 「is empty」 on number, date and lookup fields too. The '' half reaches the SQL driver as numeric_col IN ('') / date_col IN (''). The comparand-type door accepts a string, and the temporal door scopes out empty strings by ruling, so nothing refuses it earlier. On a strict backend (Postgres) that can raise a cast error. The old shape carried the same member. NOT measured on any backend.

Direction (for triage to confirm, re-route, or send for a ruling)

Decide one meaning of 「is empty」 for the platform, and make the three producers agree. The spec's vocabulary is the protocol baseline (「协议为基准」).
If '' stays part of the meaning, emit it only for string-typed fields, so a typed column never receives ''.
Pin each producer against the one meaning.
Migration note: stored sharing rules and roll-up filters written by the widget would re-scope if the meaning changes. Measure their count first.

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:ui` · `area:records` · `pm:queue`. Measure first, then converge on the spec's meaning

Triage: lands in objectui's two producers that disagree with the spec: FilterConditionField (packages/fields) and datasetFilterCondition.ts (packages/app-shell) ⇒ domain:ui. Rationale: one operator, offered in three builders, matches three record sets:

the spec lowers is_empty to $null;
the dataset bridge writes $exists;
the fields widget writes "null OR ''".

The widget feeds sys_sharing_rule.criteria_json, so a sharing criterion's meaning depends on which builder wrote it. The widget's '' member also reaches number, date and lookup columns as IN (''), which a strict backend may refuse. That is not measured. Nothing is measured failing, and PR objectui#10807 fixed the refused shape (objectui#10790, p1), so this is not p1. Not p3: the divergence sits on the access path, and the typed-column failure mode is unmeasured ⇒ p2.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01W89enF2dYV7K4N2Fbfj33f · 2026-09-27T17:20Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card (no comments), objectui#10790 (closed) and PR objectui#10807 (merged).

Not a decision card yet. The protocol baseline decides the direction: the spec's is_empty → $null is the meaning, and code follows the spec (「协议为基准」). What could make it a decision is a fact nobody has measured: whether a visibly empty text value is stored as ''. If it is, then $null alone would hide records a user sees as empty. That would be a spec question, not a code one.

Execution notes, in order.

Measure, before any change, and report the three readings on this card:
- (a) what a text field cleared in objectui's form saves ('' or null), and whether the objectstack write path normalises '';
- (b) whether numeric_col IN ('') / date_col IN ('') raises on Postgres;
- (c) how many stored sharing rules and roll-up filters carry the widget's 「is empty」 / 「is not empty」 shape.
Safe in every branch, land first: the widget emits the '' member only for string-typed fields, so a typed column never receives ''. If (b) raises, this step is a p1 fix on its own; say so in the report.
Converge the widget and the dataset bridge on the spec's $null meaning, with one pin per producer against it.
⛔ Stop valve. If (a) shows cleared text stored as '' that the write path does not normalise, or if (c) is non-zero with rows the change would re-scope, stop after step 2. Bring the readings back here; triage routes it to the decision box as a spec question. ⛔ Do not re-scope stored sharing rules on this card's authority.

PR objectui#10807 (objectui#10790, the last edit of the widget's is_empty arm) merged as 97672ba. Seat 1's objectui#10789 and seat 2's objectui#10788 (PR objectui#10810) hold other files in packages/fields and packages/core, and are disjoint.

Clause-②: no: the widget stops emitting the '' member for non-string fields, and step 3 (if the valve allows it) converges the builders on the spec's $null meaning. Both narrow what one builder writes; no accept set is widened and no export is added.

Release: domain:ui seat 4 · session_01MCg3z5cGrV51xEddpGcxEY · 2026-09-27T19:28Z · cause: the premise of step 2 is falsified, and the stop valve had already tripped · destination: pm:queue + pm:retriage. Triage routes the card per its own valve (5858050222): the decision box, as a spec question.

What was measured (dev report `5858799523`; at-tier review `5859057830`)

reading	result
(a) cleared text	a cleared text box is sent as `''` (flat, modal and drawer edit routes, by runtime probe) and stored as `''`. objectstack does not normalise it: the record validator's `isMissing` counts `''` as missing for validation only, and the spec's value round-trip fixture pins `''` ≠ `null` (`str_empty`). ⇒ the valve trips
(b) Postgres `IN ('')` on a typed column	not measured: no Postgres runs in the seat's container. A PG16 binary is installed, so a throwaway cluster can measure it if triage wants the reading
(c) stored rules in the widget's shape	0 in objectui and 0 in objectstack (`examples/` included). Production is not readable ⇒ the valve trips

Why step 2 did not land

Triage called step 2 (drop the '' member for typed columns) 「safe in every branch」. The review falsified that, and the seat re-read it on objectstack origin/main 17bd3187. The write door admits '' into numeric and boolean columns:

record-validator.ts returns at if (isMissing(value)) return null; before its invalid_number / invalid_boolean checks.
driver-sql's formatInput has no numeric or boolean arm.
SQLite, sqlite-wasm and turso keep it as TEXT, and the memory and mongodb drivers store it verbatim.

So a stored rule the widget re-saves would change its rows: 「is not empty」 would WIDEN. That is the line this card may not cross. PR objectui#10834 was closed unmerged. Its branch is kept.

Carried for triage's routing

Producer and write door first (the dev's open question 1, option C, which the review also names as the honest fix):
- (i) objectstack's validator refuses or normalises '' on a numeric, boolean or temporal column. Today a blank string skips every type check, and the number branch also omits progress and summary, which are in NUMERIC_VALUE_TYPES. This is a domain:engine seam in objectstack.
- (ii) objectui's DateField, DateTimeField and TimeField send null on clear, as NumberField already does. They send '' today (measured).
Only after both can the widget drop '' for typed columns without re-scoping a stored rule.
The spec question (the dev's open question 2), options verbatim from the report:
- A: is_empty → $null only, and producers plus the write path normalise '' to null (with a data migration);
- B: the spec declares 「is empty」 = null OR '' for string-stored columns;
- C: leave the divergence documented.
Multi-option columns (the dev's out_of_scope_findings[0], class b, a named producer). The widget writes $in: [''] / $nin: [''] for multiselect, checkboxes and tags, and for multiple: true lookup, select and user. driver-sql stores these as JSON, and assertOperatorAppliesToColumn refuses $in / $nin there (jsonColumnOperatorError). $null alone is not the answer either, since a cleared multi-value field may store []. So it rides the same question.

The seat's reading, not a ruling: the four axes lean to 1 before any widget narrowing. Contract-first means a number field that accepts '' is declared ≠ enforced at the write door, and the widget is its consumer.

objectui#11094's slice (branch claude/issue-11094-value-datasource-empty-17-6, head 8a9cf1b) has ACCEPT 5966957488 and contract PASS 5967059614, but is not yet pushed onto the trunk. This slice builds on it: its branch merges 8a9cf1b into the trunk tip first, so the push order is objectui#11094, then this one.
objectui#11068 is claimed in the same act; its files are disjoint.

"summary": "Three objectui builders that offer 「is empty」 / 「is not empty」 now write the spec's one operator, $empty, and keep no copy of the per-type table: (1) @object-ui/fields FilterConditionField.condToMongo writes { F: { $empty: true } } / { F: { $empty: false } } (was the objectui#10790 $or of $in [''] and $null, and $nin [''] + $null false); kvToCondition reads a BOOLEAN $empty back as the pair and refuses any other flag; (2) @object-ui/app-shell datasetFilterCondition VALUELESS_TO_MONGO writes $empty (was $exists) and conditionToGroup reads a boolean $empty back; (3) the re-grep's third builder, @object-ui/plugin-list ListView.convertFilterGroupToAST: its live query answered the pair as [F, '=' | '!=', null] (a null test) while the same rule saved into the view (viewFilterFold persists is_empty) runs as $empty on 17.6.0; the pair now takes the value-less path and mapOperator gains isempty / isnotempty arms, which parseFilterAST lowers to $empty. Every other FilterBuilder consumer persists the spec's own view vocabulary (is_empty in a ViewFilterRule / FilterGroup) and needed no change. objectui#11094's KNOWN_UNREACHABLE expiry row turned over: $empty left the set and the row now asserts a builder emits it (ablation A reddens it). STORED-RULE READING (named in each changeset): reading alone rewrites nothing and an un-edited stored rule keeps its bytes and keeps matching as before; FilterConditionField keeps opening both earlier shapes as the same row and writes $empty on the next edit (re-scope stated per column class in .changeset/10813-filter-condition-empty-operator.md); the dataset bridge NO LONGER reads a stored $exists back as the pair: it opens in the Source tab, bytes untouched, because a sibling edit would otherwise rewrite it to $empty, which objectui#10257's pinned read-half invariant forbids (the sweep test goes red if it opens); the list path stores nothing. Readable stores hold no rule in either old shape: 0 hits for stored $exists filters and for the widget shapes in objectui, objectstack, hotcrm and cloud metadata, with the same regex lit on the test fixtures (control). Branch: cut at trunk da4c629, merged 8a9cf1b as 989b8b1, slice commits 5a631d6 / 3ac224a / c6a0b0a, then the trunk moved to bebd7ec (it now carries objectui#11094's slice as 9187c5c, the SAME tree as 989b8b1, plus four disjoint row-booking commits) and was merged as 22442b8 = the pushed head, a fast-forward of the trunk.

Seat rulings on dev report `5968977150`, and ✅ ACCEPT of the slice at branch head `22442b8d1` (it contains the trunk tip `bebd7ecdf`); the at-tier contract review is owed · 2026-10-03T12:09Z

Director seat, summon #32, objectstack-ai/objectstack session_016tKoy8NJa35Yih1FdzrVmn, holder of claim 5968125021 on this card. Reviewed against the pushed commits, not the report.

The diff against the trunk tip: 18 files, +445 / −255.
- Three builders now write $empty: FilterConditionField, the dataset bridge and ListView.convertFilterGroupToAST.
- There are 10 test files and 5 changesets.
No quarantine: zero .skip, .todo, it.fails, xit or .only. Seven expect( lines are removed and 29 added. Each removal is accounted for:
- the dataset pair's two $exists rows now assert $empty;
- KNOWN_UNREACHABLE's $empty row turned over as objectui#11094's expiry row required, and now asserts that a builder emits it;
- the list pair's ['x', '=', null] is now the value-less path;
- the HANDLED_BEFORE_MAPPING ratchet is deleted together with the set it guarded, which this slice emptied. The identity-row test is replaced by a stronger pin that asks the spec's own parseFilterAST for the lowering ($empty on both rows, with $null as the control).
Measured by the dev, consistent with the diff:
- all three ablations went red and restored by blob hash: A → 25 red, B → 13 red (12 predicted; the extra row is named), C → 7 red;
- type-check passed on all three packages;
- stored-shape probes on installed 17.6.0, and 0 stored old-shape rules in four repos' metadata.
Deviations accepted:
- ListView.tsx falls in the claim's third clause (another builder that offers is_empty);
- the two pending changesets get dated correction paragraphs, not rewrites;
- the slice uses merge commits only. The default message on 989b8b1eb is not rewritten (⛔ no force).

Q1 (the dataset bridge reading a stored `$exists`) = A, ruled in this seat

Existing rulings decide this, so it is not escalated:

objectui#10257's pinned read-half invariant: a sibling edit never rewrites a stored row;
objectui#9559 ruling B: the existence pair stays unfolded.

A is the only option that breaks neither. B needs an exemption in the invariant, and C contradicts 9559 B. Readable stores hold 0 such filters, and the changeset tells an author how to move one.

Out-of-scope findings

@object-ui/types floor-too-low (EmptyState): a real trunk defect from objectui#11227's slice, re-measured by this seat. It would refuse the first release after the bump, because pnpm changeset:publish runs check-spec-range-floors.mjs. Recorded on objectui#11227 as 5969006500, and a trunk floor commit is dispatched there.
Behaviour floor: @object-ui/fields and @object-ui/app-shell declare ^17.5.0 (plugin-list's peer range is ^17.0.0) while writing $empty, which a 17.5.0 executor refuses. This goes to this slice's contract review, which judges whether this slice raises those ranges. objectui#5793 says "floors track reality"; objectui#11344's record 5968446861 is the symbol-based precedent, and this is the behaviour case.
The components operator comment: an acceptance note only.

Route under A″ (`5968177777`)

This card is no longer a trunk prerequisite. ⛔ Not pushed onto the trunk.

After objectui#11531 lands, this branch merges main (a merge commit, no force) and opens an ordinary PR onto main.
The contract review runs now, on 22442b8d1 against bebd7ecdf, so the PR opens ready.

Contract review

Served-tier: CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER
Head-sha: 22442b8d1f818823a9e527b47491777cd0c002f0
Local-runs: none

This is a branch-slice review of card objectui#10813.

Branch and head: claude/issue-10813-empty-builders-17-6 at 22442b8d1f.
Base: the trunk tip bebd7ecdfebc86025c9eeccc9f8aebfa36e21b0d, which the branch contains (merge-base = bebd7ecdf).
The net diff: 18 files, +445 / −255. That is 3 source files, 10 test files and 5 changesets.
Commits: the slice commits 5a631d608, 3ac224a63 and c6a0b0ab5, plus the merges 989b8b1eb and 22442b8d1.

This is not a PR review. The slice is a branch with no PR, so it has no check-runs. Every gate family below is the dev's local run from dev report 5968977150. I read each one as a claim and tested it against the diff. I re-ran none of them.

The card's own comments were also read as claims to test:

the triage 5858050222;
the hold 5927300470;
the claim 5968125021;
the seat's ACCEPT 5969017543.

The protocol was read at objectstack's @objectstack/spec@17.6.0 and @objectstack/spec@17.5.0 tags, in data/filter.zod.ts, data/filter-empty-operator.ts and data/field-value.zod.ts. It was also read at @objectstack/spec@17.0.0, for plugin-list's peer floor only.

The remote trunk now reads 13f07dd0f3. Its one new commit touches none of the 18 files. Read 2026-10-03.

① Derived judgments

The three written forms are right: each writes the spec's one operator, and none keeps a table.

FilterConditionField.condToMongo writes { F: { $empty: true } } and { F: { $empty: false } }.
- The arm never reads typeOf, so it writes the same token on every column type.
- The WRITER block pins exactly that on text, number, date, select, lookup and multiselect columns.
The dataset bridge's VALUELESS_TO_MONGO writes the same pair as a constant row. It used to write $exists: false and $exists: true.
ListView.convertFilterGroupToAST no longer turns the pair into [F, '=' | '!=', null] before mapOperator is asked.
- The pair now takes the value-less path, and mapOperator gains isempty and isnotempty arms. So the node is [F, 'isempty' | 'isnotempty', null].
- At 17.6.0, AST_OPERATOR_MAP maps all four spellings to $empty, and convertComparison lowers each direction to $empty: true or $empty: false.
No per-type table anywhere. No file in the diff has a per-type list, a call to expandEmptyOperator, or a type switch on the pair.
- The expansion stays the spec's: expandEmptyOperator answers multi_value for isMultiValueField, text for STRING_VALUE_TYPES, and null_only otherwise.
- So the claim's rule, "⛔ No local per-type table", holds.

What each builder reads back from each stored generation: right.

FilterConditionField, through kvToCondition and mongoToFilterGroup:

Before objectui#10790: $in: [null, ''] and $nin: [null, ''] open as the is_empty and is_not_empty rows. These arms are unchanged.
objectui#10790: the lone $or entry (in its exact order only, through isEmptyEntryField) and { $nin: [''], $null: false } open as the same rows. They are now documented as read-only.
This slice: $empty with a boolean flag opens as the pair.
- Any other flag ('yes', 1, null, 'true') answers null. The widget then opens the raw-JSON editor holding the stored bytes. Both files pin this.
Opening a stored rule writes nothing. No case calls onChange; the READER block pins six cases.
The next edit rewrites the whole criteria. An edit to ANY row re-serialises every row and writes $empty (the RE-SAVE block: four cases, each a sibling edit).
- This carries forward the same widget's objectui#10790 contract, "reading alone rewrites nothing".
- The changeset names the re-scope this causes (see ②).
One case the changeset's wording already covers: raw-JSON criteria that are byte-identical to the objectui#10790 $or entry cannot be told apart from it. They take the same re-scope on their next edit.
- The same predicate in any other order or spelling stays the OR group it is. The CONTROL row pins this.

The dataset bridge, through conditionToGroup:

$empty with a boolean flag opens as the pair. A non-boolean flag sends the filter to the Source tab.
A stored $exists goes to the Source tab. readBackOperator('$exists') finds no preimage and no MONGO_TO_OP entry, so the answer is representable: false.
The objectui#10790 $or goes to the Source tab, because the bridge refuses any '$or' in cond.
$nin together with $null goes to the Source tab, because the bridge refuses two operator keys on one field.
The bridge never wrote the fields widget's shapes, so meeting one is not a regression.

ListView stores nothing. Every spelling of the pair in a FilterGroup lands on one node; the canonicalSpelling rows pin this.

Q1 = A, the dataset bridge and a stored $exists: right. It keeps the bytes and migrates nothing.

Traced to the caller. When representable is false, DatasetFilterField renders the "edit in Source" note instead of a FilterBuilder. Nothing reaches commitFilterGroup, so no patch is issued.
The stored filter keeps its meaning. $exists is still a FILTER_OPERATORS member at 17.6.0, so the stored filter keeps matching what it matched.
A is the only option that keeps both pinned rulings.
- objectui#10257's invariant: a sibling edit never rewrites a stored row. The sweep in readHalfHolds-10257 keeps $exists in its domain. If the bridge read $exists as the pair, the sweep's byte-identical check would name it.
- objectui#9559 ruling B: the existence pair is not folded onto is_null / is_not_null.
The cost. The read half accepts less: a filter that used to open in the visual builder now opens in Source. The changeset states this and gives the gesture that moves such a filter.
The asymmetry with the fields widget is right. That widget migrates a row on the next edit, while the bridge refuses to open one. Each surface keeps its own pinned contract, and both readings are stated.

ListView's live query and its saved view now agree, at every spec version its range admits: right.

The two paths. A saved rule persists is_empty, and core's viewFilterRuleToNode keeps that canonical operator. The live row emits isempty.
The spec lowers both the same way. Both spellings are AST_OPERATOR_MAP keys at 17.0.0, 17.5.0 and 17.6.0. At each of those versions the spec lowers both to the same predicate: $null before 17.6.0, and $empty from 17.6.0.
Before this slice they split at 17.6.0. The saved view ran $empty, and the live query ran an equality to null.
On a provider: 'value' list, both now reach objectui#11094's by-value arm through canonicalAstOperator.

Removed and rewritten assertions: each is a shape change the ruling requires, or a strengthening. None is a weakening.

Counted on the diff: 7 expect( lines are removed and 29 added. No .skip, .todo, it.fails, xit or .only is added. Further .toEqual continuation lines and table rows are rewritten under expect( lines that did not change.

nullOperators-9363 — required.
- The $exists pair becomes $empty.
- The test's purpose is restated and kept: the empty pair is not the null pair.
datasetFilterCondition.test — required by Q1 = A, and stronger.
- The writer test now asserts both directions, where it asserted one.
- The round-trip list swaps $exists: false for both $empty rows.
- $exists moves to a new pin that asserts it does NOT open, alone or inside $and, with the $empty pair as the lit control.
readHalfHolds-10257 — not weaker.
- Three rows are retargeted from $exists to $empty.
- The invariant sweep's domain GROWS: $empty is added and $exists is kept, now on the refused side.
- The opened and refused denominators stay.
census-9306 — required.
- The pair's mongo and dataset cells become $empty.
- The header names this third exception.
emptyOperators-10790 — no earlier case is lost.
- The helpers are renamed: isEmpty / isNotEmpty are now the $empty forms, and the objectui#10790 shapes stay as legacyIsEmpty / legacyIsNotEmpty.
- WRITER gains multiselect and a FILTER_OPERATORS row.
- READER grows from 4 to 6 cases, and RE-SAVE from 2 to 4.
- The $and-form read is kept on the legacy shapes, beside a new write of two keys in one AND object.
- New rows: a legacy entry rewritten inside an OR group, and the non-boolean CONTROL.
operators:
- $empty leaves KNOWN_UNREACHABLE, so the reachability sweep now holds it to the spec.
- objectui#11094's expiry row flips from false to true, with direct condToMongo pins for both operators. This answers the flag in record 5967059614 ③: a builder row does emit $empty, so the entry left the set instead of having its reason rewritten.
- The round-trip table gains the pair.
- A pin is added: $empty is read only with a boolean flag.
- The objectui#8748 value-less expectations are retargeted.
plugin-list canonicalSpelling (4 rows) and convertFilterGroupToAST.test (1 row, plus 2 EMITTED rows) — required, since this is the defect being fixed. Each is retargeted from the null comparison to the isempty node.
filter-operator-ast-parity, including the deleted HANDLED_BEFORE_MAPPING ratchet — net stronger.
- Why the set existed. It subtracted exactly is_empty / is_not_empty from the two secondary sweeps and from the alias sweep, because convertFilterGroupToAST answered the pair before mapOperator was asked.
- Why the set is now empty. This slice removes that early answer.
- Why deleting it is right. A 两处 filter-operator 平价测试从 spec 词表里减去 is_empty / is_not_empty,但没有一条断言这两个 token 仍在词表里 #3628 ratchet over an empty set asserts nothing. Keeping a subtraction of nothing is the dead weight that ratchet exists to prevent.
- What deleting it widens. All three sweeps now cover the whole VIEW_FILTER_OPERATORS. The deleted identity test asserted that the AST gate accepts is_empty. That membership is now asserted on the emitted isempty / isnotempty, by the rows "maps to an AST-valid operator" and "survives the isFilterAST gate".
- What replaces the identity pins. The two identity rows become real EXPECTED_AST_TARGET targets. The identity test is replaced by a pin that asks the spec's own parseFilterAST for the meaning: $empty for three spellings, with $null as the control.
list-offered-operator-expressible-parity — a docblock change only.

The readers the dev names at 17.6.0: right, by the spec's own face table, with the exceptions that table declares.

The 17.6.0 FILTER_OPERATORS docblock declares two kinds of face that answer $empty:

Faces that answer by the column's DECLARED row:
- driver-sql, with sqlite-wasm and turso's local transport;
- turso's remote transport;
- driver-memory's query path;
- driver-mongodb;
- service-analytics where and read-scope SQL, through the host's sourceFieldMeta.
Faces that answer by value:
- driver-memory's reference matcher;
- objectql having;
- formula's matchesFilterCondition.

Those faces cover every route the dev names:

criteria_json goes to engine.find.
summaryOperations.filter goes to the objectql engine.
relatedListFilter goes through objectui#11094's converter arm ($empty becomes [F, 'is_empty', true]), then the server's lowering.
dataset.filter and measure.filter go to service-analytics.

The builders offer the pair on text, number, date, select, lookup and multiselect columns. Each of those types has a declared row.

The table declares two exceptions:

The driver-memory analytics (cube) face REFUSES $empty, as it refuses $null. The dev measured that face answering $exists.
A declared-row face refuses a column it holds no declaration for. It refuses loudly and prescribes $null. Examples: the built-in id, an unregistered federated object, an analytics host without sourceFieldMeta, and a multi-value column over a SQL dialect driver-sql does not model.

Both exceptions are refusals, not drops. They touch only NEW authoring, because this slice rewrites nothing that is stored.

One split between faces remains, and it is the spec's, not objectui's. On a select or lookup column, the by-value faces count '' as empty and the declared-row faces do not.

Two runtime facts sit outside this review's inputs, so they stay the dev's reading and were not re-measured: how the plugin wires sourceFieldMeta, and the draft-data preview evaluator.

The dev's local runs, read as claims: consistent with the diff.

Reading the diff reproduces both ablation predictions.

Ablation A (the widget's two arms reverted) predicts 25 reds:
- in the 10790 file, 20: 12 WRITER rows, 4 RE-SAVE rows and 4 GROUPS rows;
- in the operators file, 3: the expiry row, the reachability sweep and the objectui#8748 value-less test;
- in the census, 2 mongo cells.
Ablation C (the list's arms restored) predicts 7 reds: 4 canonicalSpelling rows, plus 1, plus 2 EMITTED rows.

The other claims also hold:

The ten changed test files are the ten in the diff.
3ac224a63 drops the as any from the expiry row's two condToMongo calls, as claimed.
The narrowed check:spec-floors named none of the three packages, which agrees with the symbol measurement in ②.

No gate was re-run here.

② Semver level

@object-ui/fields, @object-ui/app-shell and @object-ui/plugin-list at minor each: right. Each is a package whose published src/ changed.

Clause-②: yes is right, for four reasons:

two builders change the persisted shape of sharing criteria, related-list filters, summary filters and dataset / measure filters;
both read halves now accept $empty;
the dataset read half stops opening $exists as a row;
the list's live query changes which records the pair selects.

A yes takes at least minor. objectui keeps its own breaking changes at minor, by its rule 「objectui 自身的破坏性变更也标 minor(在正文里写清 breaking 语义即可)」. No changeset declares major.

The three new changesets, checked against the code and the 17.6.0 spec.

fields — true.
- The old shapes, the reasons (IN (''), and an $in on a JSON column), the declared-row meaning and the boolean-only read are all true.
- "What moves for a stored rule" is true clause by clause, against expandEmptyOperator and STRING_VALUE_TYPES:
  - a text column: no change;
  - a single-valued non-text column: '' stops counting as empty;
  - a multi-value column: [] starts counting as empty;
  - a rule in either of the two refused shapes starts running.
- "an un-edited rule keeps its stored bytes" is true. It also means an un-edited objectui#10790 rule keeps the card's original IN ('') member on a typed column until someone edits it.
- The "measured" sentence is honestly scoped to the by-value readers.
app-shell — true, including the Source-tab reading and the migration gesture.
- Nit: it names the strategies that answer, but not the face the spec declares as refusing. The driver-memory analytics face is reached when there is no engine aggregate bridge. There, a newly authored 「is empty」 dataset filter is refused, where $exists was answered.
plugin-list — true at 17.6.0.
- Nit: the peer range is ^17.0.0, and "which the spec lowers to $empty" holds only from 17.6.0. An earlier reader lowers it to $null, as it does the saved view's rule.

The two dated corrections: right in form and content.

Each appends one paragraph and leaves the frontmatter unchanged. This follows the objectui#11227-slice precedent.
Each correction is true of this head.
A flag for the route under A″: both corrections say "this release".
- That stays true only if 10790-empty-operators-accepted-shape.md and 9359-list-ast-valueless-canonical-fold.md are still pending when this branch's PR lands on main.
- If a release consumes either file first, merging main shows a modify/delete conflict on it. The correction must then be dropped, not brought back, and the 10813 changeset carries the move alone.

The floor question, measured: floors ARE owed for @object-ui/fields and @object-ui/app-shell, both to ^17.6.0. None is owed for @object-ui/plugin-list.

The symbol case.

What was read. Every named import from @objectstack/spec* in the three packages' non-test sources at this head: 121 (package, entry, symbol) triples. That is 9 for fields, 108 for app-shell (static imports and await import forms) and 4 for plugin-list.
- Two app-shell symbols that the regex could not capture were checked by hand: ObjectRequiredPermissionsSchema (a .then dynamic import) and DeclarativeConnectorEntrySchema (a multi-line await import).
What each was checked against. An export at the @objectstack/spec@17.5.0 tag. plugin-list's 4 were also checked at @objectstack/spec@17.0.0.
Result: none is absent. Two regex misses were cleared by hand:
- canonicalMetaUrlType is exported at 17.5.0, through a multi-line export block in shared/metadata-url-spelling.ts;
- pluralToSingular appears in a comment, not in an import.
Why a source read is enough. It over-approximates the gate's read of dist, because erased type imports drop out of dist. So none missing at source means none missing in dist.
The slice itself adds no import, no specifier and no typed member.
- $empty appears only as an object-literal key, and as a property of an any-typed value.
- It is also already declared at 17.5.0 (staged) in FieldOperatorsSchema and SpecialOperatorSchema.
So under the objectui#11344 symbol precedent (5968446861), nothing is owed.

The behaviour case: fields and app-shell.

What they write. Both packages WRITE { F: { $empty: bool } } into stored metadata.
What they declare. Both declare @objectstack/spec ^17.5.0 under dependencies, so a resolution to 17.5.0 is inside the declared range.
What 17.5.0 does with $empty.
- At the 17.5.0 tag, FILTER_OPERATORS ends at '$null', '$exists'.
- The operator's own description at that tag reads: "STAGED: declared ahead of its backends and absent from FILTER_OPERATORS. Until each face has its arm, the query executors refuse it and the write-side check matcher matches no record".
- Its face table lists INVALID_FILTER / 400 on every driver, on objectql having and on service-analytics. It lists READ_SCOPE_COMPILE_FAILED / 500 on the read-scope compiler, and a fail-closed false in formula.
What that means for authors. Under a resolution the declared range admits, every 「is empty」 / 「is not empty」 row these two builders author is refused or matches nothing:
- sharing criteria and summary filters reach the engine as $empty;
- dataset and measure filters reach service-analytics as $empty.
- Only relatedListFilter would run, as a null-only test, because core lowers it to the AST node that a 17.5.0 reader folds onto $null.
This is objectui#9012's class exactly.
- There, the symbols were present, but the floor admitted a spec that refuses what the package emits. @object-ui/core was raised from ^17.2.0 to ^17.3.0 (PR objectui#9032).
- The direction is objectui#5793's, as the check-spec-range-floors.mjs header quotes it: "floors track reality", with "contract-tightening over consumer tolerance" as the platform default.
The slice's own pin agrees. emptyOperators-10790 asserts that FILTER_OPERATORS contains $empty, which is red on 17.5.0.

The behaviour case: plugin-list.

It writes no $empty. It emits isempty / isnotempty. These are AST_OPERATOR_MAP and VALID_AST_OPERATORS members at 17.0.0, 17.5.0 and 17.6.0, so nothing in its peer range refuses them.
Its live query still agrees with its saved view across that range. A reader before 17.6.0 answers with the null test, which is what the saved view gets on that same reader.
So the premise that all three packages write $empty is wrong for this package.

Floors that are not this slice's:

@object-ui/core (^17.5.0). By reading, core READS $empty, through isEmptyFilterValue, which 17.5.0 exports. It lowers $empty to the is_empty node, which a 17.5.0 reader folds onto $null. No refusal was found. If this is contested, it belongs to objectui#11094's owner.
app-shell's @objectstack/formula ^17.5.0. app-shell evaluates no filter with formula, so nothing is owed there.

What holds the raise. check:spec-floors stays symbol-only by design (objectui#9036), so it cannot hold this. The raise is a matter for the manifests and the changesets. No new gate and no new pin are added.

③ Boundary flags

Deviation 1 (ListView.tsx, under the claim's third clause): right.
- It is a builder that offers 「is empty」.
- It is the same defect class: three builders, three meanings. Here the split is between the live query and the saved query.
- The fix is on the producer side.
Deviation 2 (two dated corrections): right. See ② for the sequencing flag.
Deviation 3 (the trunk tip merged as 22442b8d1): right.
- The net diff against bebd7ecdf holds only the 18 slice files.
- Under A″ (5968177777), the next step is a merge of main, not a push to the trunk.
Deviation 4 (989b8b1eb's default message without the trailer pair): accepted.
- No history is rewritten.
- No model identifier appears in any slice commit, the diff or a changeset.
Deviation 5 (the new WRITER kept in the objectui#10790 file): right. That file is the pair's producer pin, as the fixture-triage rule asks.
Open question Q1: ruled A by the seat, and I concur. It is verified in ①.
Out-of-scope finding 1 (@object-ui/types floor too low for EmptyState): agree.
- It is a trunk defect from objectui#11227's slice, recorded as 5969006500.
- It is not this slice's.
Out-of-scope finding 2 (the behavioural floor): answered in ②. This slice owes the raise for fields and app-shell before it lands on main.
Out-of-scope finding 3 (the filter-builder.tsx comment "which also treat '' as empty"): agree that it is an acceptance note. It is in a package this slice does not touch.
A new finding from this review: the drill URL dialect has no $empty arm.
- Carrier: objectui#11531's family, for the seat to file. ⛔ Not filed here.
- The mechanism. serializeDrillFilterParams (in drillUrlFilters.ts) spells emptiness only from $null or $exists. A $empty object yields no param, so the drilled list opens unscoped by that condition. That is a silent superset, the objectui#9159 / objectui#9508 class.
- What reaches it at 17.6.0. composeDrillFilter lowers through parseFilterAST. At 17.6.0 that answers $empty where 17.5.0 answered $null: true, which became [null]=true. So on this composed route, every widget filter carrying 「is empty」 now loses that condition in the drill. The bump causes this, not this slice.
- Why it cannot be fixed in place.
  - Mapping $empty: true to [null]=true would drill NARROWER than the widget on a text column.
  - A URL operator of its own would widen an addressable public surface, and drillUrlFilters.ts reserves that decision for the maintainer.
- This slice's share: two sentences it makes false in a package it touches.
  - drillUrlFilters.ts says the dataset filter inspector's "is not empty" row "writes exactly that pair".
  - The header of drillNotNullDialect-9508.test.tsx names "the dataset filter inspector (which writes the $exists pair)".
- What remains unconfirmed. By reading, I found no route from dataset.filter into the drill's escape hatch: ObjectMetricWidget hands over its own widget filter. So whether the inspector's own $empty reaches the drill is unconfirmed.

Verdict ground and owed rework

The verdict is FAIL, on one ground: ② floors. This head ships two packages whose declared @objectstack/spec floor admits a protocol that refuses what they now write. Everything else in ① to ③ holds.

The rework goes on the slice branch, by the same dev, before the PR onto main:

Raise two floors. In packages/fields/package.json and packages/app-shell/package.json, change @objectstack/spec from ^17.5.0 to ^17.6.0 under dependencies.
- ⛔ Do not move plugin-list's peer range ^17.0.0.
Update the lockfile. Run pnpm install, so that only those two importers' specifier: lines move. The resolved 17.6.0 stays unchanged. Show the lockfile diff.
Name the raise in the changesets. Add one sentence each to .changeset/10813-filter-condition-empty-operator.md and .changeset/10813-dataset-filter-empty-operator.md. It names the raised floor and the reason: the package writes $empty, which 17.5.0 declares staged and refused.
Fix the nits, which do not block on their own. They ride along because the rework touches the same packages:
- correct the two drill sentences named in ③;
- fix the plugin-list changeset's version nit and the dataset changeset's refusing-face nit, both from ②.
Re-run the touched tests and type-check, and run check:spec-floors over a build. It is expected to be green either way.

Then a delta contract review of the new head.

VERDICT: FAIL

Seat rulings on contract FAIL `5969173746`, and REWORK of the slice · 2026-10-03T12:44Z

Director seat, summon #32, session_016tKoy8NJa35Yih1FdzrVmn, holder of claim 5968125021.

The FAIL is accepted

Its one ground is ② floors. @object-ui/fields and @object-ui/app-shell WRITE $empty and declare @objectstack/spec ^17.5.0. At the 17.5.0 tag, $empty is STAGED, absent from FILTER_OPERATORS, and refused by every executor.

This is objectui#9012's class: present symbols, but a floor that admits a spec refusing what the package emits.
The direction is objectui#5793's "floors track reality".
@object-ui/plugin-list writes isempty / isnotempty, which every spec in its peer range accepts. Its peer range stays.

The new finding (③, the drill URL dialect)

Filed and claimed as objectui#11547: a p1 regression that the 17.6.0 bump itself causes, fixed on objectui#9159's precedent. That card owns drillUrlFilters.ts's code. This slice still owes the two sentences IT makes false.

REWORK (on this slice's branch; ⛔ not the trunk)

Floors. In packages/fields/package.json and packages/app-shell/package.json, raise dependencies["@objectstack/spec"] from ^17.5.0 to ^17.6.0. ⛔ Leave plugin-list's peer ^17.0.0 alone.
Lockfile. Run pnpm install so that only those two importers' specifier: lines move. The resolved 17.6.0 stays unchanged; show the diff.
Changesets. Add one sentence each to .changeset/10813-filter-condition-empty-operator.md and .changeset/10813-dataset-filter-empty-operator.md. It names the raised floor and the reason: the package writes $empty, which 17.5.0 declares staged and refuses.
Nits, carried because the rework touches these files:
- the plugin-list changeset says "which the spec lowers to $empty". Scope it to 17.6.0 and later; an earlier reader lowers it to $null;
- the dataset changeset should name the face the spec declares as refusing $empty (the driver-memory analytics fallback);
- the two drill sentences this slice makes false:
  - drillUrlFilters.ts: "the dataset filter inspector's 'is not empty' row writes exactly that pair";
  - drillNotNullDialect-9508.test.tsx's header: "which writes the $exists pair".
  Correct the prose only. If objectui#11547 has landed by then, merge main first and keep its code.
Re-run the touched tests, type-check for fields and app-shell, check:spec-floors over a build, and the lockfile and changeset gates.
Commit and push the slice branch only. Then a delta contract review on the new head.

The route is unchanged: main, after objectui#11531 lands, as an ordinary PR.

This is the delta contract review of objectui#10813's slice. It re-reviews the slice after the FAIL 5969173746, whose one ground was ② floors. Read on 2026-10-03.

What was reviewed

The branch claude/issue-10813-empty-builders-17-6 at 20770e4e9.
The rework delta 22442b8d1..20770e4e9: 3 linear commits (a36c71417, 994d43249, 20770e4e9), 8 files, +18 / −10. There is no merge and no rewrite.
The slice's net diff bebd7ecdf..20770e4e9: 23 files, +460 / −262. That is the first review's 18 paths plus 5 that the delta adds: the two manifests, the lockfile, drillUrlFilters.ts and the drillNotNullDialect-9508 test header.

Inputs

From objectui#10813: the FAIL 5969173746, the seat's rulings and REWORK order 5969287928, and the rework dev report 5969408863, which I read as claims.
The delta and the net diff.
objectstack's @objectstack/spec@17.0.0, @objectstack/spec@17.5.0 and @objectstack/spec@17.6.0 tags. At the 17.6.0 tag I also read driver-memory's analytics face, because the dataset changeset now names it.
objectui#11531's trunk claude/issue-11438-objectstack-17-6-0 at 0507d6716, for out-of-scope finding 1 only.

There are no check-runs. This is a branch with no PR. It lands on main after objectui#11531, as an ordinary PR. So every gate family below is the dev's local run, which I read as a claim and tested against the diff. Nothing was built, run or re-run. The reads were git diff, git show and git grep, gh api, and one git merge-tree against the trunk head. That is a read and touches no working tree.

① Derived judgments

The FAIL ground is closed.
- packages/fields/package.json and packages/app-shell/package.json now declare dependencies["@objectstack/spec"] as ^17.6.0, up from ^17.5.0. Neither package declares the spec anywhere else: no peer entry and no dev entry.
- 17.6.0 is the right floor.
  - At the 17.5.0 tag, FILTER_OPERATORS ends at '$null', '$exists'.
  - At that tag, $empty's description reads "STAGED: declared ahead of its backends and absent from FILTER_OPERATORS. Until each face has its arm, the query executors refuse it".
  - At 17.6.0, the array ends at '$null', '$exists', '$empty'.
- plugin-list is untouched. packages/plugin-list/package.json has 0 diff lines over the whole net diff. Its peer and dev ranges stay ^17.0.0.
Exactly two specifier: lines move in the lockfile, and the resolved version does not.
- pnpm-lock.yaml is +2 / −2. Line 783 is under the packages/app-shell: importer and line 1295 is under packages/fields:. Both move from ^17.5.0 to ^17.6.0.
- Each sits above an unchanged version: 17.6.0(ai@7.0.65(zod@4.6.5)). No package key or snapshot key moved.
- This is consistent with the dev's check:lockfile-integrity clean claim. The dedupe gate's first red named @vitejs/plugin-react and an esbuild split, a resolution this diff does not touch. So the dev's "transient" reading is consistent with the diff.
REWORK item 3, the two floor sentences: done and true.
- Two changesets gain the same sentence: .changeset/10813-filter-condition-empty-operator.md (fields) and .changeset/10813-dataset-filter-empty-operator.md (app-shell). The sentence reads: "The @objectstack/spec dependency floor rises from ^17.5.0 to ^17.6.0, because this package now writes $empty, which @objectstack/spec 17.5.0 declares staged and refuses."
- Each changeset's frontmatter names the package whose manifest moved.
- "declares staged and refuses" is the 17.5.0 description's own reading. There, the query executors refuse it and the write-side check matcher matches no record.
REWORK item 4, the plugin-list version scoping: done and true, including the deviation.
- The first sentence now ends: "@objectstack/spec 17.6.0 and later lower that pair to $empty; an earlier reader lowers it to $null, as it does the saved view's is_empty."
  - This is true. AST_OPERATOR_MAP maps isempty, is_empty, isnotempty and is_not_empty to '$null' at 17.0.0 and 17.5.0, and to '$empty' at 17.6.0.
- The deviation, which scopes "What moves", is right.
  - "a row holding '' is now empty", and the matching [] clause, describe the $empty expansion.
  - On a reader before 17.6.0, the node lowers to $null, which counts neither as empty. So the sentence was false at the low end of the ^17.0.0 peer range.
  - "Against a 17.6.0 or later server" makes it true.
- The provider: 'value' sentence is right to stay unscoped.
  - That path is core's ValueDataSource, whose spec floor is ^17.5.0.
  - At 17.5.0, canonicalAstOperator folds isempty onto is_null, which tests value === null || value === undefined.
  - At 17.6.0, it answers is_empty, which tests isEmptyFilterValue.
  - Either way, a row with no key is selected. The old = null equality did not select it.
REWORK item 4, the dataset changeset's refusing face: done, and true against the 17.6.0 face table. One subordinate clause is contradicted by the driver at the same tag.
- The new sentence: "The spec's own face table declares one face that refuses it: the driver-memory analytics (cube) face, the lowest-priority fallback strategy (MemoryAnalyticsService), refuses a newly authored "Is empty" / "Is not empty" filter with INVALID_FILTER / 400, as it refuses $null, where it answered $exists."
- Against the 17.6.0 FILTER_OPERATORS face table: faithful.
  - The row "driver-memory analytics (cube) face | REFUSES — INVALID_FILTER / 400, as it refuses $null" is the table's one REFUSES row.
  - "one face" is right of the table's face rows. The refusal for a column with no declaration, which includes an analytics host built without sourceFieldMeta, is a separate paragraph about columns. The REWORK did not ask for it to be named.
- Read against driver-memory at the same tag:
  - The refusal holds. $empty is not a key of MONGO_TO_CUBE_OPERATOR, and ANALYTICS_FILTER_CAPABILITIES.fieldOperators is derived from that table's keys. So uncompilableFieldOperatorError throws, through unsupportedFilterError, which sets INVALID_FILTER and 400.
  - "where it answered $exists" holds. $exists: 'set' is a key, compiled as != null. The dev rested this on the slice's earlier measurement; it is now read at the tag.
  - "lowest-priority fallback strategy" holds. InMemoryStrategy's header reads "Priority 3" and "the lowest-priority strategy", and the strategy delegates to "typically MemoryAnalyticsService". The parenthetical names the service that the strategy runs, which is acceptable.
  - "as it refuses $null" is false of driver-memory 17.6.0. The same table holds $null: 'isNull', added by 793fb8390e (#20857, "ui:dropdown-menu renders an item's authored icon as raw TEXT — the catalog fixture named with-icons.json draws the words "edit", "copy", "trash" beside its labels #5930 step 3"). So the cube face accepts and compiles $null. The spec table's cell is stale at its own tag, and the changeset copied it. See ③.2.
- This is not a ground, for three reasons:
  - the brief's measure is the face table, and the sentence is faithful to it;
  - the clause is subordinate;
  - the load-bearing claims are true: which face refuses, with which code, and what it answered before.
REWORK item 4, the two drill sentences: prose only, and true.
- git diff -U0 of both files shows only lines inside /** ... */ blocks, each starting with *.
- No code line in drillUrlFilters.ts changed. serializeDrillFilterParams and the key: '$null' / existsKey: '$exists' descriptor are byte-identical.
- drillUrlFilters.ts now says the inspector's "is not empty" row "wrote exactly that pair until objectui#10813, so a filter stored before then still carries it; that row now writes { $empty: false }, which is not one of these two keys (objectui#11547)". Each part is true:
  - VALUELESS_TO_MONGO has is_not_empty: { $empty: false };
  - under Q1 = A, nothing stored is migrated;
  - the dialect reads only $null and $exists.
- The drillNotNullDialect-9508 header says the same, and it is true.
- Neither sentence claims that the inspector's $empty reaches the drill. The first review left that question unconfirmed.
Nothing else moved in the delta.
- The 8 files are exactly REWORK items 1 to 4:
  - the two manifests;
  - the two lockfile lines;
  - the three changesets, with frontmatter unchanged at minor / minor / minor;
  - the two comment blocks.
- No executable line under packages/*/src changed.
- The three commits sit linearly on 22442b8d1. Their trailers are Claude-Session and Co-authored-by: Claude. No model identifier appears in a commit, in the diff or in a changeset.
The first review's ① judgments are re-affirmed on the unchanged source.
- The three builders' source files and the ten slice test files are byte-identical between 22442b8d1 and 20770e4e9.
- No concrete diff reading overturns any of these judgments:
  - the three written forms, with no per-type table;
  - the read-back of each stored generation, and that opening a rule writes nothing;
  - Q1 = A, for the dataset bridge and a stored $exists;
  - ListView's live query agreeing with its saved view at 17.0.0, 17.5.0 and 17.6.0;
  - the removed and rewritten assertions, none of which is a weakening;
  - the readers the dev names at 17.6.0, with the exceptions the table declares;
  - the two ablation predictions, 25 reds and 7 reds.
The dev's rework runs, read as claims: consistent with the diff.
- Tests: 11 test files and 503 tests are the 10 slice files plus the drill header, which is the set the net diff names.
- Type-check for fields and app-shell: consistent, since the delta changes only comments and JSON.
- check:spec-floors over a build names only @object-ui/types (EmptyState, EmptyStateSchema).
  - This is consistent, because the slice does not carry the trunk commit that fixed it (see ③.3).
  - The per-package positive control matches the manifests: fields and app-shell at floor 17.6.0, with 0 findings.
  - The gate is symbol-only (objectui#9036), so it is green on either floor and does not itself hold the raise.
- check-changeset-presence --base 22442b8d1 is red "by construction". That is consistent, since the delta adds no changeset file.

② Semver level

@object-ui/fields, @object-ui/app-shell and @object-ui/plugin-list stay at minor each. The frontmatter is unchanged in the delta. No changeset declares major.
The floor raises ride the existing minors.
- The fields and app-shell entries are already minor for the written shape, and each now names its raise in its body.
- objectui's rule covers it: 「objectui 自身的破坏性变更也标 minor(在正文里写清 breaking 语义即可)」.
Clause-②: yes stands, and its arm grows by one reason.
- The first review's four reasons hold at this head.
- The fifth reason: two published @objectstack/spec ranges narrow to ^17.6.0, so a consumer resolved at 17.5.0 must move. Both changesets state this.
The plugin-list entry is now true across its whole peer range, which closes the first review's nit.

③ Boundary flags

Deviation 1 (plugin-list's "What moves" scoped to a 17.6.0 or later server): accepted. It is verified in ①.4. Leaving the provider: 'value' sentence unscoped is also right.
Deviation 2 (the face named as the table spells it, plus "lowest-priority fallback strategy"): accepted. One repair is owed at the landing PR, and it does not block.
- The naming and the strategy reading hold (①.5).
- The clause "as it refuses $null," copies a stale cell, because driver-memory 17.6.0 compiles $null on that face.
- The landing PR may drop those five words. The sentence stays true without them.
- The stale cell itself belongs to the spec: the cube face's row in the 17.6.0 FILTER_OPERATORS docblock. Its carrier is objectstack's spec and driver-memory owner, for the seat to file. ⛔ Not filed here.
Out-of-scope finding 1 (the types floor): confirmed fixed on the trunk.
- At 0507d6716, the tip of claude/issue-11438-objectstack-17-6-0, packages/types/package.json declares "@objectstack/spec": "^17.6.0". The lockfile's packages/types specifier is also ^17.6.0.
- The raise itself is 6b8a0ed96, merged in 56fe66bbe. 0507d6716 only corrects the bump changeset's sentence.
- 0507d6716 is not an ancestor of 20770e4e9. That is why the dev's spec-floors run still names types.
- It is not this slice's finding, and it clears once the PR merges main.
Out-of-scope finding 2 (stale lockfile prose in three pending changesets): an acceptance note. It is not this slice's.
Landing conditions for the PR onto main. These are conditions, not FAIL grounds.
- Merge main first.
  - The trunk moved 6 paths in bebd7ecdf..0507d6716. The only one shared with the slice is pnpm-lock.yaml, at the packages/types importer, which is a different hunk.
  - git merge-tree of 0507d6716 and 20770e4e9 is clean.
  - After that merge, check:spec-floors should report no types finding.
- The first review's dated-corrections flag still applies.
  - Both corrections say "this release".
  - If a release consumes 10790-empty-operators-accepted-shape.md or 9359-list-ast-valueless-canonical-fold.md before this PR lands, merging main shows a modify/delete conflict on it. Drop the correction; do not restore it.
- objectui#11547 may land first, and edit drillUrlFilters.ts's header near these sentences.
  - Then merge main and keep objectui#11547's code.
  - Re-read the slice's two sentences against what objectui#11547 does with $empty. If the dialect gains a $empty arm, three things must be reconciled with it: "which is not one of these two keys", the "Why TWO producer keys are read" framing, and the test header.
  - On this slice's side, the resolution is prose only.
- The PR's CI is the first real check-run for this slice. The families the dev left unmeasured are judged there: repo-wide lint, the full test shards, and published-dist / node-esm-load.

Three paths conflicted, because the merge base is the squash parent 6f5719e: the bump changeset took main's text, FilterConditionField.operators.test.ts took the slice's, and pnpm-lock.yaml took main's copy, regenerated with pnpm install. The regenerated lockfile differs from main only in the fields and app-shell @objectstack/spec specifiers (^17.5.0 to ^17.6.0). The merged tree is byte-equal to git merge-tree of 0507d67 and 20770e4 (tree d8391e2ac). Neither 10790-empty-operators-accepted-shape.md nor 9359-list-ast-valueless-canonical-fold.md was consumed by a release (both are present at main), so both dated corrections stay. (2) Dropped the clause 'as it refuses $null,' from .changeset/10813-dataset-filter-empty-operator.md (61e7e62). At the 17.6.0 tag, driver-memory's MONGO_TO_CUBE_OPERATOR holds $null: 'isNull' and has no $empty key. The sentence now reads '... with INVALID_FILTER / 400, where it answered $exists.' (3) objectui#11547 (PR #11548) landed on main as 7121221 during this round. Merged it as 1056c79; the merge was clean and its tree equals git merge-tree's. Then reconciled the slice's two drill sentences, prose only (b914846). drillUrlFilters.ts now says the inspector's { $empty: false } 'is not one of these two keys: it reaches this function verbatim too, and the [empty] arm, EMPTY_FILTER, carries it'. The drillNotNullDialect-9508 header says the row 'now writes { $empty: false } instead, which this dialect carries on its [empty] arm'. Against 7121221, git diff -U0 of both files changes only lines that start with ' ' (0 non-comment lines), so objectui#11547's code is unchanged. The 'Why TWO producer keys are read' framing was re-read and left as is: it describes NULL_FILTER's pair, and objectui#11547's own composed-route note already points to EMPTY_FILTER.

TESTS: root pnpm exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 over 16 files gave 'Test Files 16 passed (16) / Tests 592 passed (592)'. The 16 files are the 10 slice test files (4 datasetFilterCondition / census files in app-shell inspectors, 2 FilterConditionField files in fields, 4 plugin-list AST files) and the 6 app-shell drill files: drillNotNullDialect-9508, drillEmptyDialect-11547, drillUrlFilters.test, drillEmptyBucketEscapeHatch-9159, drillEmptyBucketNavHost-9085 and drillPlaceholderParity-9022. Two earlier attempts at the tests ended in os-verify-lock queue-timeout (exit 99); read those as NOT MEASURED, not as runs. SPEC-FLOORS over the build: pnpm check:spec-floors exit 0, 'Every consumer-facing @objectstack/spec floor carries the symbols its package's artifact references' (21 of 39 published packages inspected).
