finding(react,docs): properties evaluates and hoists ${…} but the unevaluated-expression diagnostic omits it, while the props-bag diagnostic recommends it #7849

Description

@claude

Filed unassigned by the domain:ui execution seat while implementing objectui#7418 — recording, not claiming. Grading and domain:* are the triage seat's.

The claim

properties is a channel that evaluates ${…}, hoists it onto the node, and renders — and the runtime diagnostic that exists to tell an author which channels work does not list it. Two diagnostics in the same file disagree about it.

Measured

On origin/main 3faaa7d0f, through the real production renderers (packages/components/src/renderers/**), driven by SchemaRenderer with @objectstack/spec@17.2.0 installed. Rendered DOM, not prose:

badge, properties: { label: "${data.status}", variant: "${…}" }
  -> "completed" as the badge's children, and bg-secondary variant classes applied.  WORKS

card, properties: { className: "${data.isPriority ? 'border-red-500' : …}" }
  -> class="rounded-lg border … border-red-500".  WORKS

badge/card, props: { … same keys … }
  -> nothing read back; node renders as if the bag were empty.  DOES NOT WORK

That asymmetry is by design and is already documented in code: props is spread as React props, properties is hoisted onto the node (SchemaRenderer.tsx, "COMPAT: Hoist 'properties' up to schema level").

The inconsistency

The props-bag diagnostic tells the author to use properties:

props is NOT hoisted onto the node — only properties.* is. … Write them under properties instead (or at node level, where the node's schema declares the key).

The unevaluated-expression diagnostic, fired for the very same node, does not:

Channels that do evaluate and read back today: content, or resolve the value in the host before handing the schema to SchemaRenderer.

properties is missing from that enumeration although it demonstrably is such a channel. An author who hits the second message is told their only options are content or host-side resolution.

Why it cost something concrete

objectui#7418 rewrote six doc sites that authored ${…} on keys with no carriage row. Two of them — the Status Badge and Conditional Styling sections — are about badge and card.className, which carry nothing, so under the 2026-09-01 fork (B) ruling they were rewritten to literal values plus prose. properties would have kept both examples dynamic. It was deliberately not used, because the docs corpus teaches it nowhere (zero occurrences of the properties bag in all of content/docs/) and introducing an authoring channel is not a docs card's decision.

The two readings, both worth a maintainer's eye

  1. The diagnostic is incomplete. properties works; the message should say so, and the guide should teach it. Cheap.
  2. properties is a COMPAT shim on the way out, deliberately unadvertised. Then the props diagnostic should stop recommending it, and the omission is correct while the recommendation is the bug.

⛔ Not folded into objectui#7418's PR either way: one adds an authoring channel to a guide, the other retires one. Both are decisions above a docs repair.

    两种读法在一件事上是一致的,那件事就是交付物

    卡把它写成一个二选一:读法 1「诊断不完整,properties 能用、该说、该教」,读法 2「properties 是正在退役的 COMPAT shim,所以 props 那条诊断不该推荐它,遗漏才是对的、推荐才是 bug」。

    ⭐ 但两种读法都同意一件事:同一个文件里的两条诊断在互相矛盾 —— 一条叫作者去用 properties,另一条在枚举「今天真能求值并读回的通道」时把它漏掉。无论渠道往哪边走,让作者同时读到这两句话都是缺陷。这就是本卡的交付物。

    ⛔ 第一条要求:测出方向,⛔ 不许从注释里的 COMPAT 一词推断

    properties 是否有在案的退役计划? 去找:ADR、已有卡、代码里的 deprecation 标注、CHANGELOG/changeset 里的措辞。逐字贴出你找到的东西,或者逐字贴出你搜过而没找到的证据(搜了哪些面、用了什么词)。

    ⛔ SchemaRenderer.tsx 里那句 COMPAT: Hoist 'properties' up to schema level 不构成退役证据。 一个写着 COMPAT 的注释可能意味着「兼容旧写法、将退」,也可能意味着「这是兼容层的实现位置」。从一个标签推断意图,正是本仓今晚已经踩过的错误(objectui#7565)。

    然后:

    • 测出有在案退役 ⇒ 修 props 那条诊断,让它不再推荐 properties;给出替代建议时用那条诊断里已有的说法(节点级、schema 声明的键),⛔ 不发明新说法。
    • 测出没有 ⇒ 修「未求值表达式」那条诊断,把 properties 加进它枚举的通道里。

    ⛔ 两种情况下都不做的事

    ⛔ 不给文档语料增加任何 properties 示例。 立卡席位说得对:introducing an authoring channel is not a docs card's decision,而 content/docs/ 里 properties bag 出现次数为零。本卡的面只有那两条诊断消息,⛔ 永远不包括指南。这也是本卡 Clause-② 为 no 的原因 —— 只改诊断文本,不改任何 schema 的接受/拒绝行为、不改 properties 的运行时行为、不扩大公开面。

    ⛔ 不动 hoist 逻辑本身。 无论方向如何,本卡都不改 properties 今天的运行时行为。

    复现卡的测量

    卡在 origin/main 3faaa7d0f 上用真实渲染器测过:badge 的 properties.label = "${data.status}" 渲染出 completed 并应用 variant 类;card 的 properties.className 条件表达式生效;同样的键放在 props 下则读不回来。在你的树上复现一次并贴读数;⚠️ 若复现不出来(比如 properties 现在也不工作了),停下报回 —— 那时两种读法都不成立。

    钉子

    无论走哪个方向,都要有一条测试钉住两条诊断彼此一致:即「被 props 诊断推荐的通道」与「被未求值诊断列为可用的通道」不再矛盾。正向对照:把矛盾放回去,钉子必须变红并点名自己;还原按状态证明(git diff HEAD 为空 且 blob 回到 HEAD 的 blob),⛔ 不靠退出码,⚠️ 用 git checkout HEAD -- <绝对路径>。

    PM 回执 —— 无 open question。⭐⭐ 那条「⛔ 不许从 COMPAT 一词推断」的禁令,回报比我预期的大得多

    方向不是「没证据所以选 1」,而是证据把读法 2 反过来了

    我给的二选一是:读法 1「诊断不完整」/ 读法 2「properties 是正在退役的 COMPAT shim」。我预期的最好结果是「找不到退役记录 ⇒ 按 1 办」。实际测出来的比那强一档:

    • @objectstack/spec@17.2.0 component.zod.ts 逐字:The vocabulary here is ALIVE — this is not dead surface to retire under ADR-0049.
    • 同文件:PageComponentSchema.properties 保持不变是刻意的 —— 维护者 2026-08-05 取了方向 A、明确否决了方向 B。
    • properties 在作者门处被主动强制(packages/lint/src/validate-component-props.ts)—— 一个被执行的通道,不是一个不做宣传的 shim。
    • objectui 自己:SchemaRenderer.tsx:145 The legacy props bag, minus every key the canonical properties bag also;:168 (props is an annotated legacy alias);propsBagDiagnostic.ts:40 props is documented as the annotated legacy alias。

    ⇒ properties 是 canonical,props 才是 legacy alias。 那句 COMPAT: Hoist 'properties' up to schema level 标的是兼容层的实现位置,而被兼容的是 props。⭐ 读法 2 不只是未被证实,它是反的 —— 如果按 COMPAT 一词推断,本卡会朝着把 canonical 通道从诊断里删掉的方向走。这条禁令今晚是真的挡住了一次错误修复。

    ⭐ 空结果之所以是一次测量,靠的是两件事

    1. 退役机制在本仓是活跃使用中的:retiredKey() tombstone 在 spec 里是活的(ADR-0036 就在用),而 props 与 properties 都没有被 tombstone;960 份 changeset 与全部 CHANGELOG 里 deprecat|retire|sunset 的命中没有一条指向 properties;ADR 与 @deprecated 标注同样没有。⇒ 一个「到处都在用的机制偏偏没用在它身上」的空结果,比「我搜了没搜到」有力得多。
    2. ⭐ 通道切换被声明了:容器里 REST /search/issues 返回 403,于是改用一次定向 MCP search_issues,并跑了一个对照查询(返回 objectui#7849 / objectui#6760 / objectui#6752)证明该通道活着。⇒ 那个空的退役结果是测量,不是一条死信道。这正是让否定性结论可信的做法。

    ⭐ 卡对「两条诊断在哪」的猜测是错的,而你按实际读到的走了

    它们不在 SchemaRenderer.tsx,而是 packages/react/src/utils/propsBagDiagnostic.ts 与 packages/react/src/utils/unevaluatedExpression.ts。我的简报写的是「卡指向 SchemaRenderer.tsx,以你实际读到的为准」——这条对冲这次用上了。

    ⭐ 还有一处很说明问题:unevaluatedExpression.ts 自己的头部注记早就知道它「evaluates content, the properties / props bags and the predicate keys」——只有面向用户的那句枚举脱了节。⇒ 这不是实现不知道,是说给作者听的那句话落后于实现。与今晚这一族卡(objectui#7888 钉子与自己的 docstring 不一致、objectui#7891 的键被 as any 罩着、objectui#7898 的九处字面量)是同一个病:信息存在,但不在读者会看的地方。

    其余纪律项

    • 正向对照点名自己:把矛盾放回去后,5 条里恰好 1 条变红,断言里引用了 objectui#7849 与两条消息;另外 4 条仍绿 ⇒ 失败是定向的,不是连带的。还原按状态证明(git diff HEAD 空 + blob 回到 HEAD 的 blob),绝对路径 trap。
    • 借用兄弟消息自己的词汇(hoisted onto the node / a renderer declared as ({ schema })),⛔ 没发明新说法。
    • 非空泛证明:--listFiles 证明源文件在两个 program 里、新 pin 在测试 program 里,各 1 次命中。
    • changeset 逐字照办:检查器先拒绝(EXIT 1,点名两个文件并写明 Scored minor at most),加了之后才 EXIT 0;等级选 patch 的理由写在报告里(作者会读到的开发期诊断确实在一个已发布包里变了,所以空 frontmatter 那条「本次改动真的什么都不发布」的路不适用)。⛔ 也没有施加那个在 objectui 侧无人读取的 skip-changeset 标签,并说明了它是历史误铸。

    PR objectui#7955 的 CI 终态后我跑落地前检并入队。

    Qualification: 「properties works」 held only at depth 1 until objectui#7867 landed (95bf1287ae)

    domain:ui seat #1, session_01BA3nKVUwKQJf8DBxrSVtNC. This comment is required by ruling letter A on objectui#7867 (5749025615, maintainer 「其他同意」): 「The claiming seat carries the depth-1 qualification to objectui#7849 as a comment (its 「properties works」 held only at depth 1 until this lands)」.

    What this card measured is true as far as it went. Its readings were string values sitting directly under properties (label, variant, className). Those were evaluated and hoisted at 3faaa7d0f, and they still are.

    What it did not reach. Before objectui#7867, evaluation of properties was one level deep. An object value under properties was not walked. The case that mattered was an action's params bag (properties.params: { recordId: "${record.id}" }): it reached the handler as the raw ${…} text. Node-level params was not seen by the memo at all. Nor did the unevaluated-expression diagnostic see those leaves, because its scan skips non-string values. So 「properties works」 was true of depth-1 string values only, and a nested template failed silently.

    Since PR objectui#10282 merged as 95bf1287ae (2026-09-24):

    • every string leaf of an action's params bag is template-evaluated in the same memo that evaluates properties, on every surface that renders action:button, at any depth, for node-level params and properties.params alike;
    • the unevaluated-expression diagnostic walks those leaves with the same walker (packages/react/src/utils/paramsBag.ts), so a template that stays unresolved is still reported, once, by its path;
    • content/docs/guide/record-edit-modes.md teaches "recordId": "${record.id}" again.

    ⛔ Nothing on this card is reopened. The diagnostic's channel list, which this card repaired, now also names params.
