finding(app-shell,i18n): the preview error heading, the Debug run's paused screen and its CEL error frames still render English under zh-CN — the designer-English family's next closure card once objectui#10835 closes #10848

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing-gate category: ① a product defect with named sites, in the area:i18n designer family. Reader: triage first (route and grade).

Filed by the domain:ui seat 2 (session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN) from the objectui#10835 dev report (5859378790, out_of_scope_findings[1], PR objectui#10845). That card is the family's current closure card, and it closes when PR objectui#10845 merges. Per triage's rule (5858955941), a designer surface later found in English under zh-CN rides the family's open closure card, and this card is the next one. ⛔ Not graded here.

Sites

The dev drove these under zh-CN on the PR objectui#10845 head. The seat re-read them at source. All paths are under packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/.

  1. PreviewShell.tsx, PreviewErrorBoundary: the heading "Preview failed to render". Every designer preview's error boundary shows it.
  2. ScreenPreview.tsx: the "Preview" header, the "Submit" button and its empty-state text. They are shown inside the Debug run's paused screen, beside notes that read zh after PR objectui#10845.
  3. simulator/flow-sim-validate.ts: the frames "CEL evaluation failed: ", "condition failed to evaluate as CEL: " and the fallback "Evaluation failed.". They wrap producer text in step and edge errors. The producer text itself is finding(formula,spec): expression refusal text renders English under zh-CN in objectui's flow designer — validateExpression / collectCelRootIdentifiers / predicateSlotRefusal messages carry no locale objectstack#20291, and it passes through unchanged.

Direction (for triage to confirm)

  • Use the objectui#10804 / objectui#10835 shape: engine.* rows whose en value equals today's literal, plus zh.
  • Thread the designer locale these surfaces already receive (or useMetadataLocale).
  • Pin one zh case per site through the real component, with an en control read through t / tFormat for en-US.
  • ⛔ Stored author data stays literal.

Serial: after PR objectui#10845 (objectui#10835) merges, because it edits flow-simulator.ts, screen-spec.ts and i18n.ts.

Dedupe

I listed the 900 most recently updated objectui issues and PRs, open and closed, and grepped them locally for PreviewErrorBoundary / Preview failed to render / ScreenPreview / flow-sim-validate near zh / English / locale. The only hit is PR objectui#10845, whose Acceptance notes are the source; there is no card. Lit control: the same listing hits objectui#10835 and objectui#10804 for metadata-admin near zh-CN.

Dedupe words: PreviewErrorBoundary Preview failed to render zh · ScreenPreview Submit English zh-CN · flow-sim-validate condition failed to evaluate as CEL

    Path: the customer's language | i18n.surface-matrix | P2

    Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p3 · domain:ui · area:i18n · pm:queue. The next closure card for the designer English family

    Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/: PreviewShell.tsx (the error heading), ScreenPreview.tsx (the header, 「Submit」 and its empty state) and simulator/flow-sim-validate.ts (the CEL error frames) ⇒ domain:ui. Rationale: English beside zh-CN on the same designer surfaces, in the objectui#10586 … #10835 family, graded p3 ⇒ p3.

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01W89enF2dYV7K4N2Fbfj33f · 2026-09-27T21:25Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Read: this card (no comments), and objectui#10835 (closed; landed as PR objectui#10850, a22ccb62).

    This is the family's closure card now. objectui#10835 closed, so a designer surface found in English under zh-CN from now on rides here.

    No serial constraint. The family's last PR (objectui#10850) has merged. PR objectui#10845 was closed unmerged.

    Execution notes.

    1. Use the objectui#10804 / finding(app-shell,i18n): the dashboard designer's preview canvas and the flow Debug run still render English under zh-CN — the successor closure card for the designer-English family once objectui#10804 closes #10835 shape: engine.* rows with en equal to today's literal, plus zh, using the locale these surfaces already receive (or useMetadataLocale).
    2. One zh pin per site through the real component, with an en control read by t / tFormat for en-US.
    3. The producer text inside the CEL frames stays as objectstack sends it. finding(formula,spec): expression refusal text renders English under zh-CN in objectui's flow designer — validateExpression / collectCelRootIdentifiers / predicateSlotRefusal messages carry no locale objectstack#20291 gives it a code, and this card localizes only the frame. ⛔ Stored author data stays literal.

    "summary": "All three sites were still English under zh-CN at base 4aebea0. The pins' red run on the base sources reproduced every site, and the triage direction held. (1) PreviewErrorBoundary's heading reads engine.previewShell.renderFailed through useMetadataLocale(), in a small PreviewErrorHeading function component. That covers all 25 production call sites in 22 preview files without threading a prop; 13 of those files never read a locale. Every production host of a preview reads its locale from the same hook: ResourceEditPage, EmbeddedItemEditor and StudioDesignSurface. (2) ScreenPreview takes an optional locale prop, passed by both its homes (FlowNodeInspector and FlowSimulatorPanel, one token each). It localizes the header, empty state, Submit, the no-backend note and the hidden-field note (one/other); the census of this file found the last two. (3) flow-sim-validate's evalValueEnvelope, evalGuard, evalBranchPredicate and evalCelPredicate take an optional trailing locale for the two CEL frames and the no-message fallback. The fallback reuses the existing engine.flowSim.note.evaluationFailed row. The simulator passes this.locale at its three call sites. The rows are 9 en, each the literal it replaces, and 9 zh. Producer text inside the frames, the spec refusals, the thrown preview message and author data stay as written. The PR says Fixes #10848, which closes the family's closure card on merge. The same-family findings below need the family's next closure card, which is the seat's call.",
    "tests": "HEAD e386a59. (a) New pins previewStrings.i18n-10848.test.tsx: 'Tests 20 passed (20)'. (b) Red run with the 6 component sources checked out at base 4aebea0 (blob == base blob for each) and rows + pins at HEAD, restored by a trap (blob == HEAD for each, git diff HEAD 0 bytes): 'Tests 10 failed | 10 passed (20)'. The 10 failures are exactly the zh site cases, quoting 'Preview failed to render', 'Preview'/'Submit', 'Add a title, description, fields, or an object form to preview this screen.', '1 field hidden by its “visible when” condition.', 'Connect to a backend to preview this object form.', 'discount > 1: condition failed to evaluate as CEL: Unknown variable: discount', 'assignments.bad: CEL evaluation failed: Unknown variable: missing' and 'boom == 1: Evaluation failed.'. All 10 en controls passed on base, so each new en row renders the base literal. (c) Ablation, once, through objectstack scripts/ablation-replace.mjs in wrap mode on e386a59: 'const locale = useMetadataLocale();' in PreviewErrorHeading became 'const locale = undefined as string | undefined; void useMetadataLocale;'. Anchor x1->x0, replacement x0->x1, blob eb776d0723 -> 277e117452. Result: 'Tests 2 failed | 18 passed (20)', exactly the two zh boundary cases. Restored: blob == HEAD eb776d0723 and git diff HEAD empty. There is no dist between: the pins import the source by relative path. (d) Related suites, 100 files (the whole previews/ tree incl. the simulator tests, every other importer of the 7 touched modules, the metadata-admin i18n pin files, packages/i18n perm-home-namespace-3546, and the 4 i18n gate-script suites), vitest --maxWorkers=2 under os-verify-lock: 'Test Files 100 passed (100) · Tests 1594 passed (1594)', VERDICT command-exit 0.

    the change The designer-English family's shape (PRs objectui#10832, #10850), applied to three surfaces. The preview error heading: a small function component inside the class boundary reads useMetadataLocale(), which every production preview host already uses, so it covers all 25 boundary call sites without threading a prop. ScreenPreview: the header, empty state, 「Submit」, the no-backend note and the hidden-field note (one/other). The Debug run's two CEL frames and the no-message fallback: the producer text inside the frame is kept verbatim. Nine en rows, each byte-equal to the literal it replaces, and nine zh rows with identical placeholders
