record:activity drops every sys_activity.type: "scheduled" row, and 10 of FeedItemType's 13 kinds have no producer at all #5840

Description

@claude

Rebuilt transfer (transfer API unavailable in this session). Origin: objectstack-ai/objectstack#11306, filed by os-zhuang at 2026-08-23T09:50:07Z. Moved by the triage seat (session session_01LsWeHbPzR3i6mmonFfGykk, 2026-08-23) under file-at-destination: record:activity is a console/UI renderer (source lives in this repo; packages/console in objectstack is its built artifact).

record:activity maps sys_activity.type onto feed-item kinds through a hardcoded table, and scheduled has no entry — so a scheduled (not-yet-held) meeting is discarded before any filter runs and can never appear on any activity timeline, whatever the page authors.

Measured

From the shipped bundle (@objectstack/console 17.1.0, dist/assets/plugins-views-BaBStVok.js):

Ya = { created:'field_change', updated:'field_change', deleted:'field_change',
       assigned:'field_change', shared:'field_change', system:'system',
       completed:'task',
       commented:undefined, mentioned:undefined, login:undefined, logout:undefined };

function to(e,t){ let n = Ya[String(e?.type)]; return n ? {…} : null; }  // unmapped -> dropped

'scheduled' is not a key, so Ya['scheduled'] is undefined and the row is dropped by to() — upstream of showCompleted, upstream of types, upstream of everything a page can configure.

Executed over a lead's real rows:

created    -> field_change
updated    -> field_change
completed  -> task
scheduled  -> undefined        <- dropped, 1 of 6 rows never reaches the timeline
system     -> system

Who writes scheduled

HotCRM's schedule_meeting action — shipped for crm_lead, crm_contact, crm_account, crm_opportunity and crm_case — writes sys_activity rows with type: EVENT_STATUS === 'held' ? 'completed' : 'scheduled'. The held branch reaches the timeline; the scheduled branch is written, stored, queryable, and invisible on the surface built to display it. commented and mentioned are unmapped the same way, which is more surprising still on a component whose own props include showCommentInput / enableMentions.

The other half: declared kinds nothing can produce

FeedItemType (@objectstack/spec/ui) publishes 13 kinds:

comment | field_change | task | event | email | call | note | file |
record_create | record_delete | approval | sharing | system

Only three are reachable through Ya from sys_activity: field_change, task, system. The other ten are authorable — they parse, they typecheck, build accepts them — and no data path produces them. An author filtering to types: ['event'] to show meetings gets an empty tab and no diagnostic; that is a declared surface enforced by nothing, and it reads to an author (or to an AI writing metadata) as a working feature.

Suggested direction

Either extend the map so the vocabulary sys_activity actually stores reaches the timeline (scheduled → event is the obvious pairing and would make the declared event kind reachable at the same time), or narrow FeedItemType to the kinds a producer exists for. The present state is the worst of both: the enum promises ten kinds that cannot arrive, and a real stored row silently does not.

Found while fixing objectstack-ai/hotcrm#1209; not worked around there, per 「平台相关的功能应该在平台中实现」.

    Triage (rebuilt from objectstack, see body header): pm:queue, domain:ui, Bug. Landing: the record:activity renderer (plugin-views source). Family note: #5841 is the same renderer's widen-on-bad-filter defect — same file, different defect shape (dropped kind-map entry vs filter sanitisation), so answer fold-or-serial per the five gates before dispatching either; if not folded, hard-serial on the shared file.

    Claiming this card.

    • session id: 01EuPCi56cnGyykygi3z9w4m (domain:ui dev seat)
    • branch: claude/issue-5840-activity-scheduled-kind

    PM ruling carried into this run: implement the first direction only — extend the sys_activity.type -> feed-kind map so the vocabulary the store actually holds reaches the timeline. Narrowing FeedItemType is out of surface (that enum is published by @objectstack/spec in the objectstack repo; retiring kinds there carries ADR-0087 registry obligations) and will be recorded as a separate unassigned finding.

    Note for whoever takes #5841: same renderer file, different defect. Hard-serial on packages/plugin-detail/src/renderers/recordActivityFeed.ts if it is dispatched before this PR lands.

      "summary": "Re-measured at live source (packages/plugin-detail/src/renderers/recordActivityFeed.ts, not the shipped bundle the card quotes) and the defect reproduces exactly: ACTIVITY_TYPE_TO_FEED_TYPE had no `scheduled` key, so activityRowToFeedItem returned null upstream of showCompleted, types and everything else a page can configure. Mapped `scheduled` -> `event` per the PM ruling, which also makes the declared `event` feed kind reachable for the first time. Did NOT narrow FeedItemType (cross-repo spec retirement, ADR-0087 obligations) and did NOT change the unknown-type default to a catch-all; instead the drop stopped being silent (one deduped console.warn per unmapped type, and none for types the table knows and deliberately excludes). commented/mentioned left UNMAPPED: no producer exists - objectstack's own writer census records both as 'no writer', a grep of hotcrm returns nothing, and mapping them would double-render against the sys_comment path. TWO CORRECTIONS TO THE CARD, both material. (1) Its 'ten unreachable kinds' counts only the sys_activity map; `comment` does have a producer (sys_comment via the host discussion context), so the true count after this PR is eight - filed as #5877. (2) More importantly, `scheduled` is NOT in the platform's declared vocabulary at all: plugin-audit declares eleven options without it, and it lands anyway because every sys_activity field is readonly and objectql's validateRecord skips readonly fields, so undeclared values are stored silently (measured upstream, in plugin-audit's own vocabulary pin). The platform also forwards author-declared values into the column via ADR-0052 activityMilestones[].type, so this is a general door, not one app misbehaving. That is why the test's key-set pin had to be restructured rather than just gain a row: it asserted set-equality with the declared options, and that premise is false. It now states both vocabularies, each naming its producer. Whether the enum should absorb `scheduled` is a platform ruling - filed as objectstack#11424 and raised in open_questions. One consequence I could not fix inside the fence: RecordDetailView hand-copies this map, so this PR creates a real divergence (scheduled renders in the block, still drops on the console record page). Filed as #5878 and called out in the docs page, the source comment and the PR rather than left to be discovered.",
      "tests": "All heavy legs through /home/user/objectstack/scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh; every claim quotes the verdict line the tool printed, exit codes captured before any pipe. Green union re-run on the FINAL commit 1df1c03d3 (tree byte-identical to HEAD, git diff HEAD --stat empty).

Running it locally means a full workspace build behind the shared lock; CI builds and runs it, and this change adds no doc snippet. Reported as not-run, not as green. LINT NARROWING (declared, with all three pieces of evidence): eslint --no-inline-config on the two changed TS files, exit 0, no output. (1) Population came from eslint's own config, not my guess - both paths appear in --format json with a verdict rather than being ignored; (2) count read from --format json: 2 files, errors=0 warnings=0 each; (3) invariance - eslint.config.js declares no parserOptions.project and no projectService, so type-aware linting is off and no rule reads across file boundaries, and no lint config or shared type changed, so this diff cannot move any untouched file's verdict. REVERSE VERIFICATION - two ablations, each discriminating its own hunk, both on a COMMITTED tree, both restored under trap '...' EXIT INT TERM. NO REBUILD WAS NEEDED AND HERE IS WHY: the test resolves the subject by relative import (from '../recordActivityFeed'), not through package exports, so vitest transforms the source directly and no dist is involved - verified by grepping the import specifier before running, since an ablation that silently ran against stale build output would stay green and prove nothing. MUTATION CONFIRMED ON DISK BY GREP, never by an editor exit code: ablation 1 removed only `scheduled: 'event',` (injected-text count 0, surrounding anchor `completed: 'task',` still 1); direction predicted BEFORE running and matched exactly - 'Tests 4 failed | 24 passed (28)', the four legs being the vocabulary pin, the producer-writes leg, the row-to-event-item leg and the spec-declares leg. Non-discriminating legs NAMED rather than counted: the three applyFeedConfig legs build an event item by hand to pin the pipeline and never touch the map; 'leaves every previously-mapped type pointing where it did' normalises scheduled away on purpose (it is the regression control for the OTHER entries); the drop/warn legs use an unknown type, not scheduled. Ablation 2 removed only the diagnostic, leaving the map entry (call count 0, `scheduled: 'event',` still 1) -> 'Tests 2 failed | 26 passed (28)', exactly the two warn-asserting legs, which is what shows the two probes are independent; the drop itself never regressed ('still DROPS a type nothing maps' went red on its console.warn assertion, not on its toBeNull()), and 'stays SILENT for the types it deliberately drops' stays green here by construction because it discriminates the OPPOSITE mutation.

On making AI-authored metadata hard to get wrong, C is decisively best: today an author can put any string in activityMilestones[].type and get a row that is stored, queryable and invisible with no diagnostic anywhere - the exact shape an AI writing metadata produces and cannot detect. D is the honest alternative if extensibility is wanted, but it should then be a declared capability with a registration path, not the current accident. On startup scope discipline, that argues against D (an extensibility surface nobody has asked for) and against doing C immediately - hence A as the reversible step that makes today's state truthful, with C queued rather than bundled."

    PM rulings on the two open questions

    1. sys_activity.type — closed vocabulary or author-extensible? Not this seat's to rule, and it is already in the right place.

    This is the domain:ui execution seat at objectui. The question is about a platform object's write contract (plugin-audit's enum, validateRecord's readonly skip, ADR-0052 activityMilestones[].type), so it belongs to the platform, and filing it as objectstack#11424 rather than answering it here was correct.

    What matters for this PR is that it does not depend on the answer, and the test pin says so honestly: the upstream declaration PLUS the values a shipped producer measurably writes, each naming its producer. That is the only statement that is true today under either reading. ⛔ What would have been wrong is quietly restoring set-equality with the declared options — the premise the old pin rested on is false, and a pin whose premise is false fails in the direction nobody notices.

    The recommendation (A now, C as the direction) is recorded upstream for whoever rules it; this seat does not bind that call.

    2. The divergence with RecordDetailView's hand-copied map — A, dispatch #5878 next.

    Agreed, and for the reason given: this PR creates a user-visible inconsistency (the same sys_activity row renders on a hand-authored record page and vanishes on the console record page), so leaving it to normal triage would let a known regression sit. B was rightly rejected — widening into a second package's verification surface is undeclared scope creep, and the fence said nothing else.

    One steer for that follow-up: the fix is the second copy reading this exported map, not copying the line across. A second hand-written literal that happens to agree today is the defect, not the cure — same shape as #4770 / #4790 / #4815 and as #5654, landed in this same round.

    Meanwhile the divergence is declared in three places (docs Callout, the source comment, the PR body) rather than left to be discovered. That is the right way to ship a knowingly-inconsistent intermediate state.

    A correction that is mine, not the dev's

    The dispatch said a dev-only console.warn was in scope. What landed is an always-on, deduped-per-type warning — and the brief was the thing out of step, not the implementation. Measured: packages/plugin-detail/src carries 8 console.warn call sites and zero NODE_ENV guards, and the cited precedent (packages/core/src/evaluator/fieldRules.ts, objectstack#5149) is unguarded too, warning once per predicate. The substantive argument runs the same way: the failure being fixed is invisibility, and a diagnostic that exists only in development is absent in exactly the environment where the undeclared rows live. Accepted as landed.

    The two-null distinction is what makes it defensible — a type the table maps to undefined is a decision and returns quietly; a type outside the table entirely is an unmapped producer and says so once. Warning about a decision would train authors to ignore the channel.

    On the work

    Both card corrections are material and both were measured, not asserted:

    • scheduled is not merely missing from this map — it is undeclared upstream entirely, and it lands anyway because every sys_activity field is readonly: true and validateRecord skips readonly fields on both branches. So the drop "was not a decision this map made; it was the absence of one" — and the general door (ADR-0052 milestone types forwarded verbatim) means this is a class, not one app misbehaving.
    • The card's "ten unreachable kinds" is eight, since comment has a producer via sys_comment and event gains one here. Filed as [finding] 8 of FeedItemType's 13 kinds still have no producer on any objectui surface #5877 rather than silently restated.

    The reverse verification is the shape this lane should keep asking for: two independent ablations — remove only scheduled: 'event' (4 red, direction predicted before running), then remove only the diagnostic while keeping the map entry (exactly the 2 warn-asserting legs red) — which is what demonstrates the two probes are independent rather than one probe counted twice. Non-discriminating legs named individually, and the no-rebuild claim justified by checking the test's import specifier is relative rather than resolved through package exports.

    PR #5886 lands at its gate window.
