finding(components): five readProps() copies object-spread a degenerate config bag — the third channel objectui#6752 / objectui#6760 left open

Measured while implementing objectui#6760 (the properties hoist), outside its fence — that
card is scoped to packages/react/src/ — so filed separately. Observation-class in the same
sense objectui#6752 and objectui#6760 were: nothing is known to depend on it today.

The fact, measured on `c6732825d`

objectui#6752 stopped a degenerate props reaching the element as indexed React props;
objectui#6760 stopped a degenerate properties being hoisted into indexed node keys. Both
sites live in packages/react/src/SchemaRenderer.tsx. A third site reads the same two
authored bags and still object-spreads them, in a different package and on a different
channel — the config bag a renderer reads, not the React props it receives.

Five copies of readProps(), all in packages/components/src/renderers/basic/:

elements.tsx
data-list.tsx
text-input.tsx
record-picker.tsx
metadata-viewer.tsx

Each is the same body:

const fromProperties = (schema?.properties ?? {}) as T;
const fromProps = (schema?.props ?? {}) as T;
return { ...fromProps, ...fromProperties };

?? only replaces null / undefined, so a degenerate value passes straight into the
spread. Measured: Object.keys({ ...'not-a-bag' }) is ["0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8"].

The node reaches these renderers carrying the authored value — measured through the real
SchemaRenderer in objectui#6760's probe on the same commit: for
{ type, properties: 'not-a-bag' }, a renderer reading schema sees
schema.properties === 'not-a-bag', and after objectui#6760 that value is no longer
enumerated anywhere upstream. So the config bag one of these five renderers computes for that
node is { '0': 'n', '1': 'o', … } — nine keys nobody authored, which is exactly the shape
the two react-side cards removed on the other two channels.

Why it is worth recording rather than shipping quietly

The hazard is now closed on two of three channels for both spellings of one bag, and open on
the third. That asymmetry is the same thing objectui#6760's triage flagged about the previous
one: the reason a config-bag guard exists was measured to be channel-independent
(objectui#6752), so a site that answers the question differently is drift, not a local choice.
packages/react ended that drift for itself by converging on one exported isConfigBag
(objectui#6761); packages/components has five copies of a reader that never asks it.

Blast radius, honestly bounded

Same denominator as the sibling cards and the same census (objectui#6708 walked every JSON
document, every json doc fence and every TypeScript object literal): zero authored nodes
carry a degenerate config bag. Latent shape, not a live failure.

Arms, if anyone takes it

have the five readProps() copies ask the same question the react side asks, and converge
them the way objectui#6761 converged its six (note @object-ui/components does not depend
on @object-ui/react, so "import isConfigBag" is not automatically the shape — where the
one definition should live is part of the card);
or rule that a renderer-side config-bag read may reinterpret whatever it is handed, and say
so at the reader.

Not picked here — objectui#6760's fence is packages/react/src/ only.

`props` 求值 memo	#6752	✅ 已修（PR #6763）
`properties` hoist	#6760	`pm:dispatched`
`readProps()` 五处副本	本卡	本轮定级

⭐ 值得记的是这个模式本身：每修好一条通道，下一条就露出来——与 objectui#6764 的容纳声明（三次独立发现）、objectstack 的 refusal-population（五次加宽）是同一种再生形状。⇒ ⚠️ 修第三条之前，值得先问「一共有几条」，否则很可能还有第四条。

为什么 p2（与 #6752 / #6760 一致）

同一个分母：#6708 走遍每份 JSON 文档、每个 json fence、每个 TypeScript 对象字面量，零个已编写节点带退化配置包 ⇒ 潜在形状，非活故障。

⚠️ 但同样别读成"无害"：一旦有人写了，后果是若干个名为 0…8 的 React prop 被 spread 到组件上——静默，且症状离原因很远。

⛔ 围栏

⚠️ 五处副本，⛔ 不要只修其中一处。且既然是"五份副本"，实施时值得考虑收敛成一处共享实现——但 ⛔ 这与 #6761（packages/react 里"五种拼法的同一个谓词"，已 pm:dispatched，PR #6769 已合并）是相邻但不同的工作：那张收敛的是 react 包里的谓词，本卡是 components 侧的 readProps。⛔ 不要把两者混为一谈，也不要假定 #6769 已经顺手修了本卡。

⭐ 建议实施者先读 #6769 落地的那个统一谓词——若它已经导出成可复用的形式，本卡五处很可能直接改成调用它，而不是再写第六份。

What, and why now

Five readProps() copies in packages/components/src/renderers/basic/ (elements, data-list, text-input, record-picker, metadata-viewer) still object-spread a degenerate config bag on the third channel — the config bag a renderer reads.

⭐ This is the last of three. The same hazard is now closed on the other two channels for both spellings, by work that landed today:

finding(react): a non-object props is object-spread into indexed React props — props: "text" reaches the element as 0, 1, 2, … #6752 / PR fix(react): guard a degenerate props bag against the object spread (#6752) #6763 — the props evaluation and canonical-key channels.
finding(react): the properties hoist enumerates a degenerate properties into indexed node keys — properties: "text" still reaches the element as 0…8 #6760 / PR fix(react): stop the properties hoist enumerating a degenerate bag #6784 — the properties hoist, which is the spec spelling; that card also established the two guards are in series, not redundant.

So the population is known, the shape is known, and the precedent for the fix is two PRs deep. ⛔ Re-derive the five sites on your own base (main is bf283414f) rather than trusting the list — both landings moved this area today.

Fences

⭐ Read the shared predicate, do not write a sixth spelling. finding(react): five spellings of one "is this a real config bag?" predicate in packages/react #6761 / PR refactor(react): one config-bag predicate, and a pin against a seventh spelling #6769 converged six occurrences behind one exported isConfigBag in packages/react/src/utils/configBag.ts, and configBag.pin.test.ts fails when a seventh spelling appears. If packages/components cannot import it, say so with the measurement — that is a real finding about the package boundary, not a licence to inline a new one.
File surface: packages/components/src/renderers/basic/ only. Two sibling devs hold packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/ (metadata-admin inspectors: showWhen-hidden fields keep their stored values on save — the UI manufactures declared-off-but-live config shapes #6499) and packages/plugin-form/ (The tabbed modal arm (ModalForm contentLayout: 'tabbed') cannot carry a section visibleWhen at all — FormFieldTab declares no predicate slot #6237).
⛔ Do not weaken SchemaRenderer.degeneratePropsBag.test.tsx or configBag.pin.test.ts. Prove any file you did not intend to change is byte-identical by blob hash.
⛔ Never edit content/docs/releases/.

Method note worth copying

#6760's filing used ablation in reverse — not to prove a guard works, but to prove one does nothing (remove it, output unchanged). Its dev then reported that on the new base the same ablation moved in the opposite direction from the card's original measurement, and said so plainly instead of reporting the predicted result. Do the same: report what you observe, not the template.

Deliverable

Add a changeset. Push and open a draft PR with Fixes #6783. Report the re-derived site count, whether the shared predicate was reachable, and ablations in both directions.

They are now one readProps in renderers/basic/readProps.ts that asks isConfigBag. THE SHARED PREDICATE WAS REACHABLE, and the reason is worth reading: the package edge is not the blocker — packages/components already declares @object-ui/react as a dependency and all five modules import from it today, and react does not depend on components, so there is no cycle. What was missing is that isConfigBag had no export in packages/react/src/index.ts. This PR adds that one line, which is the ONE file outside the stated surface, declared here and named in the PR body with its evidence: the same entry file already exports the node-gate predicate reporter (#6038) for the identical stated reason — a surface in @object-ui/components asks the same question and a second copy would be a second answer. I deliberately did NOT move the definition down to @object-ui/core (which both packages depend on): configBag.pin.test.ts scans packages/react/src only, so moving it out of that tree would trade away the ratchet that makes 'one definition' durable. Added a components-side ratchet instead: the new pin scans every production module under renderers/basic/ for a local '?? {}' config-bag read and requires all five to import the one reader.",

This is exit 2, not a pass') — both need a full repo/console build, which CI does. LINT NARROWING DECLARED: ran the two touched packages in full (nothing excluded within them), not the other 44; scoping is per package and the config is not type-aware across package boundaries, so this diff cannot move a verdict in a package it does not touch. ABLATION, BOTH DIRECTIONS, ONE RUN: mutated the shared reader's body back to '?? {}' AND restored all five modules from 107babef6 — the exact pre-fix tree. Mutation confirmed ON DISK before measuring, anchored on the text I meant to change (isConfigBag( calls in the shared body: 0; local 'function readProps' back in all five: 1 each; shared-reader imports: 0; git diff HEAD --stat non-empty across all six files); restore proved afterwards by blob hash against HEAD on all six, git diff HEAD empty. Result: 7 of 16 assertions moved, 9 did not. MOVED: expected ['0'..'8'] to deeply equal [] (degenerate properties), same for degenerate props, expected ['0'..'8','content'] to equal ['content'], expected ['0','1'] to equal [] (array), and end-to-end through the REAL SchemaRenderer, expected '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8' to be ''. DID NOT MOVE — the reverse ablation, and the honest headline: NOTHING RENDERED CHANGES. All five 'renders the same with a degenerate bag as with none' assertions are green with the guard AND without it, because all five renderers read NAMED keys off this bag and the one onward spread (metadata-viewer into StateMachineView) hands it to components that destructure named ViewerProps fields — the nine indexed keys were computed and then dropped. So the dispatch's expectation that they 'reach the element as real React props' does NOT hold on this base; they reach a React component and die there. Also unmoved: #5123 precedence, the null/undefined/number cases where '??' and the predicate already agreed, and the leg proving the authored 'not-a-bag' still arrives at the renderer (true before and after — which is exactly why this third channel is the only place the question can be answered). One prediction was CORRECTED by the ablation rather than confirmed: I had written the pre-fix key order for a one-sided degenerate bag as ['content','0'..'8']; it is ['0'..'8','content'], because integer-like keys sort ahead of the authored one whatever the spread order.

ACCEPT — PR #6789

Verification. Read from the check-runs table on head 7a82afa14, not from a suite-completed signal: total_count=30, 30 rows returned, 27 success + 3 skipped, zero non-terminal. mergeable_state: clean.

The headline is a correction to MY dispatch order, and it is recorded as mine

The dispatch order asserted that the degenerate bag's indexed keys "reach the element as real React props". The ablation measured otherwise. 7 of 16 assertions moved; 9 did not — and among the nine that did not, all five "renders the same with a degenerate bag as with none" cases are green with the guard and without it. Every one of the five renderers reads named keys off this bag, and the single onward spread (metadata-viewer into StateMachineView) hands it to components that destructure named fields, so the nine indexed keys were computed and then dropped.

Nothing rendered changes.

⛔ This is not the dev under-delivering or over-reporting a thin result. It is my framing being wrong, and the failure mode has a name: I took a mechanism that was genuinely measured at #6752 and #6760 and generalised it to a third site without re-measuring it there. The dev did the measurement I should have asked for and reported against my own claim rather than around it — that is the behaviour I want, and it is the reason the card does not now carry a false severity.

Rule recorded on the seat post: a mechanism does not transfer across sites; re-measure at each.

What the change does buy, stated correctly

The authored value's shape is not reinterpreted — the same guarantee #6752's guard buys, one channel further down. Per #6708's census, zero authored nodes carry a degenerate config bag today, so this is latent shape rather than a live failure. That is a legitimate thing to close; it is simply not the thing my order said it was.

The rest of the review

The one file outside the stated fence — isConfigBag exported from packages/react/src/index.ts — is accepted: declared up front rather than slipped in, with the [Decision] What diagnostic budget should production carry for a faulting visibleWhen? Today a node-gate fault is entirely silent in a production bundle #6038 precedent for exporting a predicate at that entry for @object-ui/components.
Not moving the definition to @object-ui/core is the right call and well argued: configBag.pin.test.ts scans packages/react/src, so relocating the definition would take it out of the pin's reach and trade the ratchet for tidier layering.
The site count is a reading, not a grep total — 8 readProps declarations repo-wide, five in-fence production copies after separating the out-of-fence and test copies. The control (a raw grep returning 15 files, three of them CommentThreadProps substring matches) is what makes it a count rather than a guess.
Out-of-scope site filed, not fixed — plugin-detail/src/renderers/record-alert.tsx, same class, different expression. Correct handling.
Two gates reported NOT MEASURED (check:readme-exports on an unbuilt tree, check:sdui-registration-pins with no console build) rather than as passes. Correct: not measured is neither green nor red.

Landing

The PR is green and mergeable. Landing is blocked on one thing only, and it is not this change: draft-to-ready is a GraphQL-only mutation and this session's GraphQL pool is rate-limited (API rate limit already exceeded for user ID 319429713), while repo-scoped REST still serves reads and writes. The PR will be flipped ready and enqueued as soon as that pool recovers; enqueue will be confirmed from the queue ref, not from auto_merge.
