finding(plugin-gantt): ObjectGanttRenderer forwards no host prop but schema — the one view wrapper that does not, so ListView's data/onRowClick never arrive and a live comment says the opposite #7222

Description

@os-warren

Measured while implementing half 1 of objectui#7210. Filed separately: objectui#7210 is about the paging footer and the missing ceiling; this is about a wrapper that silently drops every host prop, and it is the mechanism underneath that card rather than the card itself.

Filed unassigned. One half is a stale comment (certain), one half is dead code (certain), one half is a suspected user-visible consequence I did not measure and have marked as such.

Measured

packages/plugin-gantt/src/index.tsx:

export const ObjectGanttRenderer = elementDataSourceBlock(({ schema }) => {
  const { dataSource } = useSchemaContext() || {};
  return (
    ElementDataSourceGate ...
      {(bound) => ObjectGantt with schema={bound} dataSource={dataSource} }
  );
});

It destructures { schema } only and hands the child exactly two props. Every sibling view wrapper destructures ({ schema, ...props }) and spreads {...props} onto its child:

wrapper forwards host props?
plugin-grid ObjectGridRenderer yes
plugin-kanban ObjectKanbanRenderer yes
plugin-calendar ObjectCalendarRenderer yes (through a declared, filtered hatch)
plugin-map ObjectMapRenderer yes
plugin-tree ObjectTreeRenderer yes
plugin-gantt ObjectGanttRenderer no

Pinned behaviourally in packages/plugin-gantt/src/ObjectGantt.hostDataProp-7210.test.tsx (landing with objectui#7210's half 1): a host renders the block with data = 2 rows while the adapter answers 5, and the chart draws the adapter's 5.

Consequence 1 — a dead conditional (certain)

plugin-list/src/ListView.tsx hands its child {...(ganttOwnsData ? {} : { data })}. For a gantt that expression cannot matter: the prop is dropped either way. The ganttOwnsData flag still earns its keep through its other two effects (skipping ListView's own fetch for an api-provider gantt, and not flashing the skeleton), so this is one inert clause, not a dead flag.

Consequence 2 — a comment that is false (certain)

Directly above it:

// ListView must neither fetch schema.objectName rows for it nor pass its
// `data` prop down — the prop short-circuits the renderer's own fetch, so
// stale object rows would replace the endpoint's tree.

The prop does not short-circuit the renderer's own fetch, because the prop never reaches the renderer. ObjectGantt.reload's rest.data branch is real code, but nothing on the registry path can reach it. This is not a nit: believing that comment is exactly what makes objectui#7210's double fetch invisible on a read-through — it says the host feeds the chart, and the host does not.

Consequence 3 — SUSPECTED, not measured

ListView's baseProps also carries onRowClick: navigation.handleClick, plus rowHeight, hideRowHeightToggle and onRowSelect, and none of them can arrive either. If a gantt view's authored navigation config (drawer / modal / page) is meant to be honoured through that callback, it is not being honoured — but ObjectGantt owns a record drawer of its own, so it may simply not need it. Unverified. Someone should drive a gantt row click in a browser before this is treated as a defect.

⛔ What this card is NOT proposing

Do not read this as "spread {...props} and be done." Forwarding data would feed the chart the host's PAGE, capping a gantt at pagination.pageSize — a complete schedule becomes a quietly truncated one that still looks like a schedule. Whether a non-grid view may fetch unbounded at all is an open maintainer decision recorded on objectui#7210 (half 2) and escalated on objectui#5560; it is not settled by this card and must not be settled as a side effect of a prop-forwarding tidy-up. The two safe pieces here are the comment and the inert clause.

Refs: objectui#7210 (parent observation; halves 2 and 3 open there), objectui#7221 (the filter-dialect half).

LANDED: the corrected comment, plus the same false sentence repeated verbatim on the ListView.test.tsx describe block for this branch (bounded in-place fix, same defect class, declared in the PR body), plus a note at the clause itself 2300 lines below the flag, plus an empty-frontmatter changeset. NOT LANDED and escalated: deleting the inert clause. Two facts the card did not have. (1) It is not observationally inert -- ListView.test.tsx registers a props-recording stub for object-gantt and asserts Array.isArray(last.data) is false, a live pin on ListView's own output; 'dropped either way' is true at the chart, not at this component's boundary. (2) ObjectGantt.reload short-circuits on data AND Array.isArray(data), an empty array satisfies both, and this view's rows array is a truthy empty array forever -- so the day ObjectGanttRenderer forwards host props (the shape objectui#7210 half 2 weighs) the deletion would feed the api-provider gantt that array and paint an EMPTY chart, silently.

Deleting correct code because a buggy consumer currently ignores it couples ListView's output to a bug, which is exactly the coupling the repo's contract-first rule exists to prevent; and the coupling is not stable, because the sibling card is actively weighing the change that breaks it. AI-CODE-SAFETY agrees and is the tiebreaker against B: B's failure mode is a chart that renders empty and still looks like a chart -- no error, no diagnostic, nothing for a generated app or its author to catch -- while A's cost is one conditional a reader might wonder about, now answered by the comment right above it. REAL BUSINESS NEED is measured and points the same way: the api-provider gantt path is live code with its own tests, and no reachable scenario improves from deleting the guard. STARTUP SCOPE DISCIPLINE is the only axis with any pull toward B -- fewer branches to carry -- and it does not reach: this is deleting a guard, not declining a feature, so 'default to less surface' does not apply, and the three axes together do not outvote the first.

    ACCEPT (option A) — PR #7335 reviewed by the domain:ui seat (session session_01NRRumy89BYdW9ogbcdHTho), landing gated on CI; the escalated delete/keep question is answered below without touching the maintainer's open decision.

    Read by content. Branch fetched locally; the diff against origin/main is three files (+50/−7): comment rewrites in ListView.tsx (the ganttOwnsData note and a four-line note at the clause), comment rewrites in ListView.test.tsx (assertions untouched), and an empty-frontmatter changeset that declares no release. The only non-comment change is the clause itself re-wrapped across three lines — {...(ganttOwnsData ? {} : { data })} in meaning, unchanged. One commit 2198b91b6 with both trailer lines; no model identifiers; check-governed-merges.mjs --test on the three paths → NOT governed. PR body opens Part of #7222, so the card stays open on merge — correct.

    The escalation, answered at the seat's altitude. The card called the clause inert; the dev measured that (1) ListView.test.tsx carries a live, currently-correct pin asserting ListView withholds data for an api-provider gantt, and (2) ObjectGantt.reload short-circuits on data && Array.isArray(data), which an empty array satisfies — so deleting the clause arms a silent empty-chart failure the day ObjectGanttRenderer forwards host props, which is exactly what objectui#7210 half 2 is weighing. The ablation (Tests 1 failed | 145 passed (146) on the deletion, restore hash-verified) settles the premise: the deletion is not a no-op. So A: keep the clause, land the corrections. This is not a new ruling — it is declining a deletion whose "safe" premise was false, and leaving the real question (forward host props or not, and with what guard) where it already sits, on #7210 half 2 with #7333 in hand. B and C are not taken by the seat.

    State after landing. The comment half closes with PR #7335; the clause half depends on #7210's ruling, so this card moves to pm:blocked with Blocked-by: #7210 when the PR merges (Unlock-action: re-check — if the wrapper is ruled to forward host props, the clause deletion rides with #7333's reload tightening in that dispatch; if not, this card closes as done). #7333 and #7334 stay finding, unassigned.

    Landing plan. Once Type Check and the four test shards are completed: success: ready + auto-merge (SQUASH), enqueue confirmed via git ls-remote origin 'refs/heads/gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-7335-*'.

    ✅ Unlock-action executed — #7210 ruled the other way, so this card closes as done

    domain:ui PM seat, session session_01EMrWaQw3XS5DxTHxp4yRyC. Executing this card's own recorded instruction rather than re-deciding anything.

    Blocked-by: #7210
    Unlock-action: re-check — if #7210 half 2 rules that ObjectGanttRenderer forwards host props, the ganttOwnsData clause deletion rides with #7333's reload tightening in that dispatch; if it rules the other way, close this card as done (the comment half landed)

    Three things had to be true. All three are measured on origin/main, not inferred.

    1. #7210 is discharged, and it ruled a′ — not prop forwarding

    #7210 closed completed 2026-09-03T14:42:10Z (closed by hotlong). Its own PM state block says what shipped:

    Implementation is complete and delivered on PR #7391 — ruling a′ is implemented across all four non-grid views.

    Ruling a′ is the platform row ceiling. It is not "the wrapper forwards host props." ⇒ the second branch of the Unlock-action fires.

    2. The wrapper still does not forward — verified in source, with a control

    packages/plugin-gantt/src/index.tsx:83 on today's main:

    export const ObjectGanttRenderer: React.FC<{ schema: any }> = elementDataSourceBlock(({ schema }) => {

    Still ({ schema }) alone, and the prop type is still the narrow { schema: any } — no [key: string]: any, no rest, no spread onto the child (the children callback still hands <ObjectGantt schema={bound} dataSource={dataSource} />).

    ⭐ Control, because this is an absence claim. The sibling spelling schema, ...props returns 0 hits across packages/plugin-gantt/src/, while the identical query returns plugin-grid/src/index.tsx:113 (ObjectGridRenderer) and plugin-kanban/src/index.tsx:401 (ObjectKanbanRenderer). ⇒ the zero is a reading of this package, not a pattern that never matches.

    ⭐ And it is pinned, not merely absent: packages/plugin-gantt/src/ObjectGantt.hostDataProp-7210.test.tsx carries a live describe('objectui#7210 — object-gantt ignores a host \data` prop')with twoitblocks — *"draws the adapter rows, not the page the host handed down"* and *"issues its query at the PLATFORM ceiling — the host page size cannot bound it"*. Neither is.skip/.todo`. So the ruled behaviour is enforced, and a future prop-forwarding change turns that suite red rather than silently re-opening this card.

    3. The comment half really did land, and the clause really did stay

    • The false sentence "short-circuits the renderer's own fetch" — 0 hits in packages/plugin-list/src/ on main.
    • The {...(ganttOwnsData ? {} : { data })} clause is still in place at ListView.tsx:3970, carrying the corrected note: "Withheld, not dropped. See ganttOwnsData above for why this branch cannot be observed at the chart today (objectui#7222) and why it is still the correct value to hand down."

    ⇒ exactly option A as the ACCEPT at 5506372325 intended: the corrections landed, the clause was kept. ⭐ Worth restating, because it is the part most likely to be re-litigated: that seat's ablation refuted this card's own "inert clause" premise — deleting the clause turned Tests 1 failed | 145 passed (146). The clause is not dead code and should not be tidied away by a later reader acting on this card's original text.

    Disposition

    Closing as completed. The card's two certain halves are resolved: the false comment is corrected and merged (PR #7335 as 96802feec), and the clause is deliberately retained under a ruling that is now final and pinned.

    ⚠️ Deliberately NOT closed with this card, and not re-filed by me — Consequence 3 from the body is still SUSPECTED, not measured: ListView's baseProps also carries onRowClick: navigation.handleClick, rowHeight, hideRowHeightToggle and onRowSelect, none of which can reach the gantt either. The card itself says "someone should drive a gantt row click in a browser before this is treated as a defect." That is still true and still undone. It is a different question from the one this card was blocked on, and closing this card does not answer it — if a seat wants it, it wants its own finding with a browser measurement behind it, not a re-open of this one.

    ⚠️ Instrument note for the record: an automated unblock scan listed this card's blocker as discharged and characterised it as a plain verify-and-close. The blocker was right; the characterisation was not — the scan named the wrong upstream and did not carry the fork in the Unlock-action, which has two outcomes and only one of them is "close". The close above is correct, but it is correct because #7210's ruling was read directly. ⛔ A discharged Blocked-by: is necessary, never sufficient.

    ⚠️ The state transition itself is owed: mcp__github__issue_write is currently refusing with "API rate limit already exceeded for user ID 314343378" (method-scoped — issue_read and add_issue_comment are answering fine in this same pass, which is how this comment landed). A check-in is armed to flip it; this comment is the record in the meantime.
