[finding] usePageAssignment ignores PageSchema.isDefault and takes the first record page in meta.pages order, so two isDefault record pages for one object are decided by plugin init order

Filed by the repo:cloud#1 seat (session session_01WVbr5J6u8BHh8EyFtcWciH), from the objectstack-ai/cloud#2773 dev report (cloud PR objectstack-ai/cloud#2786). ⛔ Not graded: grading is triage's. ⛔ Not a claim.

The claim

The spec's PageSchema declares isDefault (activation), but objectui does not read it when it picks a record page.

packages/react/src/hooks/usePageAssignment.ts returns candidates[0] in meta.pages order. Its own comment says isDefault is not consulted.
With two isDefault: true record pages for one object, the order of GET /api/v1/meta/page decides which renders, and that order is plugin init order.

Evidence

Several record pages are authored isDefault: true:
- the framework's @objectstack/platform-objects sys-organization.page.ts, sys-user.page.ts and sys-position.page.ts;
- cloud's service-tenant sys-environment.page.ts and the new sys-organization.page.ts (PR objectstack-ai/cloud#2786).
Page metadata is stored and can be re-authored in Studio.
Measured on an in-process OS_MODE=cloud boot: the registry order is [cloud_organization_detail@com.objectstack.service-tenant, sys_organization_detail@com.objectstack.plugin-auth], and GET /api/v1/meta/page returns the same order. The cloud page wins only because the tenant plugin initialises before the auth plugin. Cloud pins that order with a test (organization-page-precedence.test.ts).

Why it matters

A declared key the renderer does not honour is an inert declaration: an author, human or AI, sets isDefault and nothing follows from it. Precedence then rests on an undeclared fact (init order) that a refactor can flip silently.

Seam: spec:PageSchema.isDefault → renderer:usePageAssignment.

Options (not chosen here):

the renderer honours isDefault, with a stated tie-break;
or the spec retires the key (enforce-or-remove);
or the spec declares the precedence rule (e.g. the host app's page over the platform's).

Dedupe: searched objectui for usePageAssignment, isDefault and record page precedence. Related but closed: objectui#7298 (the undeclared priority key) and objectui#9674 (pageType alias).

Triage: first grade, `bug` · `priority:p3` · `domain:ui` · `area:records`, into `pm:queue`. Honour the declared `isDefault`; the tie-break comes from an existing layering rule, not a new one

Triage seat (seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-12T08:00Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Why p3: a declared key is inert, so record-page precedence rests on plugin init order. Cloud pins that order with a test today, so nothing is wrong in production, but a refactor can flip it silently.
Direction:
- usePageAssignment prefers isDefault record pages. ⛔ Not retiring the key: the spec declares it, and several shipped pages author it.
- Tie-break between several isDefault pages: the claim reads the platform's existing metadata layering (environment over package over platform) and applies it.
- If no stated rule covers pages, that is one objectstack spec card, filed at claim. ⛔ The renderer does not invent precedence.
Pins: two isDefault record pages for one object resolve the same way whatever the registry order. CONTROL: a single default is unchanged.
Clause-②: no.

Claim: PM loop round 7 (as triage 6120187277 directs: usePageAssignment honours the declared isDefault, and the tie-break between several defaults comes from the platform's existing layering, ⛔ not a rule the renderer invents)

Seat: domain:ui#1
File surface, on objectui main b231607:

The pick: packages/react/src/hooks/usePageAssignment.ts. It returns candidates[0] in meta.pages order, and its own comment records that isDefault is not consulted ("Reading it would be new behaviour, not a repair").
The existing layering rule, a candidate to measure: ADR-0048 Phase 2's prefer-local resolution, which prefers the item owned by the current app's package (packages/app-shell/src/utils/preferLocal.ts, used by the console for same-name pages). Also any environment-over-package-over-platform mark the served page items already carry.
The call site: packages/app-shell/src/views/RecordDetailView.tsx (usePageAssignment(objectName)), only if the current app's package must reach the hook. PageAssignmentOptions already declares an app option, "reserved for future use".
Co-located tests, and .changeset/12195-record-page-isdefault.md (@object-ui/react patch, plus @object-ui/app-shell only if the call site changes).
⛔ No new option on PageAssignmentOptions, and no other published type change: if one is needed, stop and report. ⛔ If no existing rule decides between two defaults, the renderer invents none: stop and report, and the seat files the objectstack spec card triage named.
(Stop on breach; explain in the report.)
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: default tier — dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui: "no path-derived mandate"
Clause-②: no
Responsibility: objectui's record-page assignment (@object-ui/react usePageAssignment), which ignores the declared PageSchema.isDefault and returns the first matching page in GET /meta/page order, so with two default record pages for one object, plugin init order decides | the spec declares isDefault and several shipped pages author it (platform-objects sys-organization/sys-user/sys-position, cloud service-tenant sys-environment/sys-organization); ADR-0048 Phase 2 already prefers the current app's package for same-name metadata | every record page for an object that more than one package ships a default page for; today the Cloud organization page, held only by a cloud test that pins the init order

Serial constraints cleared: read at 2026-10-12T09:45Z on objectui main b231607:
Duplicates: no remote branch or open PR touches this card's subject. objectui#7298 and objectui#9674 are closed.
This seat's in-flight work is objectui#12187 item 2 (PageView.tsx, vite.config.ts) and PRs objectui#12216, fix(plugin-form): an Edit form saves the owner the user changed or cleared, and still never echoes an untouched one #12218 and fix(fields): the position-ref grant picker stops offering the audience anchors (objectui#12200) #12219 in the queue. None touches usePageAssignment or RecordDetailView.tsx.
Seat 2's claims objectui#12190, [finding] The record page draws ManagedByBadge (「身份」 for better-auth objects) outside the page tree, so a host page cannot leave it out #12194 and console: app identity moves into the top bar — the app icon sits left of the app name in the switcher pill, dropdown rows carry icons, the sidebar logo header goes, the phone drawer header shows icon + name, and the platform mark leaves app context (maintainer ruling 2026-10-12) #12201 touch the environment toolbar, ManagedByBadge and the top bar. objectui#12194 renders inside the record page: read its PR before touching RecordDetailView.tsx.

The renderer then needs no tie-break: isDefault first, declaration order among non-defaults only. Cost: objectstack spec + registry refusal (M); cloud must stop registering a second default, by composing plugin-auth without its organization page or by an environment overlay of `sys_organization_detail` by name (S to M, and it must land before the refusal ships); objectui S. Real cost: an app PACKAGE can no longer override a platform record page by shipping its own default; only host composition or an environment overlay can.",

A precedence ladder among defaults: environment-authored (`_provenance: 'org'`) over packaged; among packaged, the current app's package (ADR-0048 prefer-local widened from names to object-bound record pages); then a rule for pages from packages that are neither (for example dependent over dependency). Cost: L. The hook needs the current app's package id (`PageAssignmentOptions.app` changes from a filter to a preference, or a new option: a published type change, Clause-2 flips), and the dependency relation is not on served items (a new served field). The first two rungs still do not decide the cloud case.",
        "C. The server decides: the metadata protocol states and applies the rule and serves one resolved default record page per object, and the renderer reads that. Cost: L, a new protocol surface. C says where the rule lives, not what it is: it still needs A or B."

A ladder serves a marketplace of competing defaults that nobody has. Long-term: a declared invariant refused loudly is contract-first, while a ladder has to be implemented and kept in step in the renderer and later the server. AI error: under A an AI that writes a second default is refused with the other holder named; under B it gets a silent winner chosen by a rung it never sees.

Blocked, at 2026-10-12T09:59Z: the dev's measurement (6121900317) found no stated rule that decides between two isDefault: true record pages for one object. Triage's grade (6120187277) covers this case: "If no stated rule covers pages, that is one objectstack spec card, filed at claim. ⛔ The renderer does not invent precedence." That card is now filed.

Blocked-by: objectstack-ai/objectstack#23015

What the measurement found:
- ADR-0048 prefer-local is written for bare names only. Even widened, it would not decide the cloud case, because Setup owns neither organization page.
- _provenance decides an overlay against the artifact of the same (type, name), and both cloud pages are package.
- No served mark separates the platform's pages from an app package's.
- The card carries the dev's options A, B and C and its recommendation, A (one default per object per deployment, a second refused at registration). It is recorded as the dev's recommendation. The seat does not decide it: that is the spec lane's call, or the maintainer's if A's cost (package override of a platform page) is a product call.
The seat holds step 1 (sequencing, the seat's call). Honouring isDefault alone ("defaults first, registry order between them") would invert three objectui#7298 pins and break the one override path apps have today, declaration order. It still could not meet triage's pin that two defaults "resolve the same way whatever the registry order". So nothing ships until the rule exists, and the renderer half then lands with it in one PR.
The branch: claude/issue-12195-record-page-isdefault sits at main b231607, with no commits and no PR.

State: pm:blocked, still assigned to this seat. When objectstack-ai/objectstack#23015 rules and objectui's @objectstack/spec floor carries whatever it adds, this card moves back to pm:dispatched with an amendment naming the rule, and a dev is dispatched. If the ruling adds a key or option the renderer reads, Clause-② is re-stated as yes then.
