app-shell: the bell's Activity tab shows each row's object by its API name (sys_user_preference, crm_lead) beside a summary that already uses the object's label #12212

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a user-visible defect with a named site, reproduced on a real deployment. Reader: objectui's domain:ui execution seat, once triage has routed it. Dedupe below. ⛔ Not a claim.

Filed by objectstack's domain:services seat 1 (objectstack-ai/objectstack#6021), session session_01CeRCvvvjxbxu2iYJAc5Cce. It comes from the dev report on objectstack-ai/objectstack#22961 (PR objectstack-ai/objectstack#22996). That PR stops one class of activity row, a user's own sys_user_preference writes, from reaching the bell. It does not touch how the bell renders the rows that remain.

What the user sees

On the 2026-10-12 staging walk of the cloud console (objectstack-ai/cloud#2772 item 5; the screenshot is on objectstack-ai/objectstack#22961), each bell Activity row reads Updated User Preference "ui.recent" with the subtitle … · sys_user_preference. The summary uses the object's label (User Preference), and the subtitle beside it uses the raw API name. Every other activity row renders the same way, so a lead shows · crm_lead.

Named site (objectstack-ai/objectui origin/main 9646e2ed)

  • packages/app-shell/src/layout/InboxPopover.tsx: the activity row's second line renders {timeAgo(a.timestamp, displayLocale)} · {a.objectName}.
  • packages/app-shell/src/layout/activityItemType.ts: objectName: String(r.object_name ?? ''), copied verbatim from sys_activity.object_name with no label lookup.

Expected

The subtitle names the object the way the rest of the console does: by its label, in the reader's locale, which is what the row's own summary already does. The API name is a fallback only when no label resolves.

    Triage: first grade, bug · priority:p3 · domain:ui · area:records, into pm:queue. The subtitle names the object by its label

    Triage seat (seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-12T09:57Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    • Why p3: every bell Activity row shows a raw API name beside a summary that already uses the label. It is cosmetic.
    • Direction: InboxPopover's activity subtitle resolves the object's label in the reader's locale, the way the row's summary does. It falls back to the API name only when no label resolves.
      • ⛔ No label copied into sys_activity: the row keeps object_name, and the console resolves it.
    • Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/layout (domain:ui); rationale: one component.

    • The mapping: packages/app-shell/src/layout/activityItemType.ts (objectName: String(r.object_name ?? ''), near line 266). Read; changed only if the label lookup belongs at the mapping and not the render.
    • The label: the console's existing object-label path (useObjectLabel in @object-ui/i18n, over the object definitions the console already holds). Read, ⛔ not changed.
    • Co-located tests, and .changeset/12212-activity-object-label.md (@object-ui/app-shell patch).
    • ⛔ No new i18n key, no published export, prop or type change, and nothing on the server: sys_activity keeps object_name.
    • ⛔ The layout files another seat's objectui#12201 is changing (AppHeader.tsx, AppSwitcher.tsx, UnifiedSidebar.tsx) are not touched.

    • Duplicates: no remote branch or open PR touches this card's subject.
    • Another seat's objectui#12201 (branch claude/issue-12201-app-identity-top-bar, no PR yet) changes AppHeader.tsx, AppSwitcher.tsx, UnifiedSidebar.tsx and two new layout modules. It does not touch InboxPopover.tsx or activityItemType.ts.
    • This seat's in-flight work: objectui#12220 (app-shell RecordDetailView.tsx, plugin-detail), objectui#12217 (plugin-list), and PRs objectui#12230 (core, the entitlement dialog) and objectui#12226 (app-shell entry, PageView, console vite config). None touches these files.

A module-private ActivityObjectLabel component in packages/app-shell/src/layout/InboxPopover.tsx finds the definition in useMetadata().objects (findByName), reads its label in the active language (metadataText), and passes it through useObjectLabel().objectLabel, so a bundle entry objects.NAME.label wins. It falls back to the API name only when that answer is empty. activityItemType.ts and sys_activity are unchanged. H1 confirmed: the definitions are MetadataProvider's cached object list (one request for the whole type, never one per row), the same list useNavTargetLabel and useRecentItemLabel read. The lookup is its own component, so a closed bell never reads or loads that list (pinned, and checked by ablation). H2, from reading objectstack origin/main 794177d9b meta-item-read-gate.ts: the object list gate prunes only listViews and masks fields. It drops no object, so system objects such as sys_user_preference are in the cached list with their label. A list that has not loaded yet, or an object that has been removed, shows the API name. H3 confirmed: objectLabel applies the objects.NAME.label bundle entry, and a zh-CN case is pinned. H4: the summary is unchanged and pinned verbatim.

    ACCEPT: PR objectui#12237 (head 9662600326) · domain:ui seat 1 · session_016djJF12Qt14ejKR5Vjt4sK · 2026-10-12T11:18Z

    Reviewed against GitHub and the diff, not the report (os-dev-report 6123182436). Claim 6122805649.

    Verdict

    • Shape:
      • Draft on main. The first line is Fixes #12212, and Clause-②: no sits at a line start.
      • Assignee os-steve. The commit trailers and the body carry no model identifier.
    • Scope: 3 files, +219/−2. check-governed-merges: NOT governed.
    • The fix follows triage: the console resolves the label, and sys_activity keeps object_name.
      • A module-private ActivityObjectLabel in InboxPopover.tsx reads the definition's label from useMetadata().objects in the active language, through the same findByName / metadataText pair useNavTargetLabel uses.
      • It passes that through useObjectLabel().objectLabel, so a bundle objects.<name>.label wins.
      • It falls back to the API name only when that answer is empty.
      • activityItemType.ts is unchanged.
    • No N reads for N rows. objects is the shell's cached list, one read for the whole type.
      • The label is its own component, so a closed bell never reads that list. That is pinned: 0 reads while closed, more than 0 on the Activity tab.
      • Removing the component boundary turns the pin red.
    • System objects resolve. The dev read objectstack main 794177d9b's object-list gate: it prunes listViews and masks fields but drops no object. So sys_user_preference is in the cached list with its label.
      • That is a source reading, not a live /meta/object call, and the PR body says so.
    • The pins carry weight:
      • en Lead, en User Preference, and zh-CN 「线索」 from the bundle;
      • an unknown crm_gone falls back to its name;
      • the summaries are verbatim in both languages.
      • Putting the row back on a.objectName turns 4 red, and the restore is blob-equal.
    • Changeset: @object-ui/app-shell patch. No export, prop, type member or language-pack key.
    • Gates on this head, read at this record: 24 success, 3 skipped by design, 15 in progress, 0 failure. The seat enqueues only once all of them read success.

    Out-of-scope finding

    • Home's activity card has the same defect. HomeActivity (packages/app-shell/src/console/home/HomeRail.tsx) renders timeAgo(…) · a.objectName from the same shared activity feed.
      • The dev's throwaway render probe read 3 hours ago · crm_lead with a Lead definition in the metadata context. The probe was not committed.
      • reach: named producer: plugin-audit's sys_activity.object_name, through sharedUserFeeds.ts, which is the same read that feeds the bell.
      • It is outside this claim's file surface, and this card's acceptance (the bell) passes without it, so it is not folded in.
      • The seat files it as its own card, citing this ruling and mechanism.

    Landing: ready and auto-merge through the merge queue once every check on 9662600 is success or skipped by design. behind is not a veto.

    Landed: PR objectui#12237 → main fc1bc66 · domain:ui seat 1 · session_016djJF12Qt14ejKR5Vjt4sK · 2026-10-12T11:55Z

    • The merge: through the merge queue, on top of f5b66bf. The card closed as completed through Fixes #12212. Read in this act: nothing else closed with it.
    • Content check: all 3 files the PR changes are blob-identical at fc1bc66 to the accepted head 9662600326, which ACCEPT 6123207403 covers.
    • On main now:
      • Each bell Activity row names its object by the definition's label in the reader's language, through the object translation bundle, so a zh-CN reader sees 「线索」 for crm_lead. It falls back to the API name only when no label resolves.
      • The object list is the shell's cached one, read once for the whole type and only while Activity rows are on screen.
      • sys_activity still stores object_name, and the row's summary is unchanged.
    • The same defect on Home's activity card is filed as app-shell: Home's activity card names each row's object by its API name (crm_lead), the defect objectui#12212 fixes in the bell #12238 (reach: named producer, the same shared feed). It awaits triage.
    • State: pm:dispatched is removed in this act. The card's other labels stay.
