finding(types): SonnerSchema.buttonVariant is z.string() in the mirror and a six-member union in TS — the two published faces disagree

Found while implementing objectui#6496 (declare buttonLabel / buttonVariant on ToastSchema). That card's dispatch told the dev to match SonnerSchema "limb for limb"; the model turned out to disagree with itself, so the shape had to be derived from the Button instead. Recording the sibling's defect rather than fixing it there — objectui#6496's face is ToastSchema, and narrowing a second published key is its own accept-set change with its own consumers to measure.

Measured on `ecc2fadb3`, `packages/types` built fresh

packages/types/src/zod/feedback.zod.ts:136   buttonVariant: z.string().optional().describe('Action button variant'),
packages/types/src/feedback.ts:230           buttonVariant?: 'default' | 'secondary' | 'destructive' | 'outline' | 'ghost' | 'link';

Both are published: @object-ui/types re-exports SonnerSchema from dist/index.d.ts, and @object-ui/types/zod re-exports the mirror from dist/zod/index.zod.d.ts. So the same key on the same component ships as an open string to anyone validating, and as a closed six-member union to anyone type-checking.

Why the open string is wrong, not merely wide

renderers/feedback/sonner.tsx:36 passes the value straight through to <Button variant={…}>, whose prop type is VariantProps<typeof buttonVariants>['variant'] — exactly the six the TS face lists. Measured on cva 0.7.1, an unrecognised key contributes no variant class, and defaultVariants applies only when the value is absent or falsy:

buttonVariants({ variant: undefined }) -> "… bg-primary text-primary-foreground …"   default look
buttonVariants({ variant: 'ghost'   }) -> "… hover:bg-accent …"                      real variant
buttonVariants({ variant: 'primary' }) -> "…"                                        NO colour at all
buttonVariants({ variant: ''        }) -> "… bg-primary …"                           silently 'default'

So buttonVariant: 'primary' — the likeliest wrong spelling, since the default variant's own class is bg-primary — validates green against the mirror and renders a button with no background and no text colour. And buttonVariant: '' validates green and is silently reinterpreted as default, which is the value that does not even look wrong.

Why nothing caught it

packages/types/src/__tests__/zod-mirror-parity.test.ts compares each mirror against its declaration in one direction only — "the mirror accepts everything the TS declaration declares". A mirror that is wider than its declaration passes, which is why feedback.zod.ts#SonnerSchema carries no KnownDrift / UnmirroredDeclared entry despite this. The census direction is deliberate and this is not a bug in it; it just means the wider-than-declared class is currently unmeasured across all 158 pairs.

Suggested handling

Narrow the mirror to z.enum(['default', 'secondary', 'destructive', 'outline', 'ghost', 'link']), matching the TS face and the Button. objectui#6496 landed exactly that spelling on ToastSchema for the same trigger mechanism, so the shape is already settled and pinned — packages/components/src/__tests__/toast-button-variant-parity.test.ts pins the six against ButtonProps['variant'] in both directions, and would cover SonnerSchema with a one-line addition.

It is an accept-set narrowing on a published surface: values outside the six start being rejected. Every one of them renders a colourless or silently-defaulted button today, so nothing that renders correctly stops rendering — but it is a real narrowing and wants its own card rather than a rider.

Unassigned; no grading — triage's call.

Triage (triage seat, hourly round 2026-08-26, session session_017g12KiZdCMYEGXDMLZifEr): first-touch — pm:queue, type Bug, lane domain:ui (packages/types is a published objectui library; fix lands in feedback.zod.ts). Rationale: the two published faces of one key disagree, and the wide face validates values the renderer measurably breaks on (buttonVariant: 'primary' → colourless button; '' → silent default) — a declared≠enforced defect, not a feature. The narrowing direction is settled by the sibling ruling this card cites: #6496 landed exactly this spelling (z.enum of the six Button variants) on ToastSchema for the same trigger mechanism, with a two-direction parity pin already in place — inherited ruling plus its reasoning, so this enters the queue directly rather than the decision inbox. Dispatch note: it is an accept-set narrowing on a published surface — the PR should state that plainly, extend toast-button-variant-parity.test.ts to cover SonnerSchema (the card's one-line addition), and if the dev finds any consumer legitimately relying on a seventh spelling, stop and report a fork rather than forcing the enum.

Triage's ruling, verbatim

the two published faces of one key disagree, and the wide face validates values the renderer measurably breaks on (buttonVariant: 'primary' → colourless button; '' → silent default) — a declared≠enforced defect, not a feature. The narrowing direction is settled by the sibling ruling this card cites: #6496 landed exactly this spelling (z.enum of the six Button variants) on ToastSchema for the same trigger mechanism, with a two-direction parity pin already in place — inherited ruling plus its reasoning, so this enters the queue directly rather than the decision inbox. Dispatch note: it is an accept-set narrowing on a published surface — the PR should state that plainly, extend toast-button-variant-parity.test.ts to cover SonnerSchema (the card's one-line addition), and if the dev finds any consumer legitimately relying on a seventh spelling, stop and report a fork rather than forcing the enum.

⚠️ Say the narrowing out loud

This removes values the published mirror currently accepts. That is the right direction — it is restoring declared = enforced, and the wide face was validating values the renderer visibly breaks on — but it is still an accept-set narrowing on a published surface, and the PR body must say so in those words. A narrowing described as "a fix" reads as risk-free to the next reviewer; described as a narrowing, it gets the attention it deserves.

The measurement that justifies it is already on main, landed by #6496 an hour ago: on cva 0.7.1, an unrecognised variant contributes no variant class and defaultVariants applies only when the value is absent or falsy — so 'primary' renders a button with no background and no text colour, and '' silently renders the default look.

The model is on `main` — inherit it, don't reinvent it

#6496 (merged as part of main) landed exactly this spelling on ToastSchema: a z.enum of the six buttonVariants keys (default, secondary, destructive, outline, ghost, link), on both faces, matched to ButtonProps['variant'] as ground truth rather than to a sibling's shape.

⭐ Note the irony this card is built on: SonnerSchema's TS face already carries the six-member union (packages/types/src/feedback.ts:255); it is the zod mirror that is the open z.string(). So you are not choosing a shape — you are making the mirror agree with a declaration that has been sitting beside it all along.

Extend packages/components/src/__tests__/toast-button-variant-parity.test.ts to cover SonnerSchema — the card's own one-line addition.

⭐ The blind instrument this card is a member of

The card itself records why nothing caught this:

zod-mirror-parity.test.ts cannot catch this class, because it compares in one direction only (mirror accepts everything declared), so a mirror wider than its declaration passes and carries no ledger entry.

Do not add your pin to that file expecting it to help — it is one-directional by construction. The parity pin in packages/components is where the two-direction check lives, because that is where Button is visible. ⛔ And do not "fix" zod-mirror-parity.test.ts as a rider; if you think its one-directionality should change, that is its own card.

File face

packages/types/src/zod/feedback.zod.ts, packages/components/src/__tests__/toast-button-variant-parity.test.ts, and a changeset.

packages/types/src/feedback.ts should need no change — its TS face already declares the union. If you find yourself editing it, stop and re-read the premise.

Clause-② note

The published shape changes (narrows). Establish it on the built dist/index.d.ts with the re-export chain shown to terminate — ⛔ not from a source export keyword, an empty entry-file diff, a grep of the entry, or the export list alone.

Picking this up per the PM dispatch order above. Scope: narrow SonnerSchema.buttonVariant in the zod mirror (packages/types/src/zod/feedback.zod.ts) from z.string() to the z.enum of the six Button variants, inheriting #6496's ruling; extend packages/components/src/__tests__/toast-button-variant-parity.test.ts to cover SonnerSchema; changeset. packages/types/src/feedback.ts expected to need no change (its TS face already declares the union). Will stop and report if any consumer legitimately relies on a seventh spelling.

The PR body states the accept-set NARROWING in those words and carries a measured before/after table taken through the published specifier. Two prose corrections ride along, both named in the PR: the #6496-era comment in packages/types/src/__tests__/toast-button-keys.test.ts and the parity test's own header both asserted in the present tense that Sonner's mirror IS z.string() and 'deliberately NOT resolved here' - false as of this commit.

(3) REVERSE VERIFICATION, on the committed state, restored from HEAD not origin/main, trap '<restore>' EXIT INT TERM with absolute paths. Mutation = the enum put back to z.string(). Mutation proven ON DISK before measuring: injected-text grep -c = 1, removed-text grep -c = 1, blob hash moved 6f8dd04f -> c2c969e4. NO REBUILD LEG, and none was owed: vitest.config.mts:260 aliases @object-ui/types/zod to SOURCE, and dist/ still held the enum at that moment, so a pin reading dist would have stayed green - it went red, which proves it read source. Result: 3 failed | 15 passed - exactly the three mirror-side pins ('the ZOD MIRROR accepts exactly the six' threw the named Error; 'refuses the values that render colourless' got 'mirror accepted non-variant primary'; 'refuses \"\"'). Predicted direction was RED and it was RED. SECOND measurement in the same run: zod-mirror-parity.test.ts PASSED under the mutation - the census is green on the exact defect, so the card's blindness claim is reproduced, not quoted. Restore leg proven by state, not exit code: git diff HEAD empty and blob hash back to 6f8dd04f, byte-identical to HEAD; re-run green (4 files, 61 tests). (4) CLAUSE-2, on the BUILT artifact: exports['./zod'].types -> dist/zod/index.zod.d.ts:40 re-exports SonnerSchema from './feedback.zod.js' -> dist/zod/feedback.zod.d.ts:436 terminal 'export declare const SonnerSchema', where buttonVariant reads z.ZodOptional<z.ZodEnum<{default..link}>> while buttonLabel one line above still reads z.ZodOptional<z.ZodString> (in-artifact contrast). The same lines built from bf3a03c1d in a throwaway worktree read z.ZodOptional<z.ZodString>. Runtime half measured through the published specifier - import.meta.resolve('@object-ui/types/zod') reported .../packages/types/dist/zod/index.zod.js on both trees - giving before/after: 'primary','danger','Default','' ACCEPTED before, REJECTED after; the six and the omitted case ACCEPTED on both.

(6) DECLARED NARROWING: lint run on the 3 changed source files (--no-inline-config --format json: 3 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings) instead of repo-wide. Sound because eslint.config.js enables no type-aware linting (no project/projectService) and no package carries its own config, so this diff cannot move any untouched file's verdict; file count read from the JSON output, not guessed.
