finding(docs/guide): schema-rendering.md's Data Context teaches a data prop the evaluator never reads, and a bare ${user.name} spelling no scope holds — three passages, measured 4 legs

Measured while implementing #7680 — the chart node on the same page, whose dispatched
surface is that node alone. This is a different key family on the same guide, so it is filed
here rather than repaired on that card.

Measured on origin/main 4922b83.

⚠️ JSX tag shapes are spelled out in words below: a tag-shaped fragment does not survive this
field, and the passages this card is about are exactly JSX elements.

The site — three passages, one mechanism

content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md:

:75 Data Context — states that SchemaRenderer accepts a data prop that provides
context for expressions, and shows a SchemaRenderer element carrying schema={schema}
and data={data}, with no provider anywhere.
:89 Accessing Data in Schemas — teaches the expression spelling
"content": "Welcome, ${user.name}!" against that data.
:365 Best Practice 2 — repeats the same element, same prop.

The :70 example ("content": "Total Users: ${stats.totalUsers}") uses the same bare
spelling.

Both coordinates are wrong, measured through a real render

SchemaRendererProps declares exactly one prop, schema
(packages/react/src/SchemaRenderer.tsx:500); every other prop is forwarded to whichever
component the schema names. The expression context is built at SchemaRenderer.tsx:645 out of
usePredicateScope() plus data: dataSource, current_user and page — and dataSource
comes from SchemaRendererProvider. So the data prop reaches the evaluator through nothing,
and a bare ${user.name} is looked up in a scope that holds data / page / current_user,
never user.

Four legs, one text node each, real SchemaRenderer, reading container.textContent:

leg	wiring	expression	rendered
A	`data` prop, no provider (what the page teaches)	`${user.name}`	`Welcome, ${user.name}!`
B	`data` prop, no provider	`${data.user.name}`	`Welcome, !`
C	provider `dataSource`	`${data.user.name}`	`Welcome, John!`
D	provider `dataSource`	`${user.name}`	`Welcome, ${user.name}!`

Leg A is the page's own snippet pair, and it puts the raw source on screen. Leg C is the only
green one, and it differs from the page in both coordinates. B and D are the controls that
keep the two halves apart: B shows the prop supplies nothing even with the right prefix, D
shows the prefix is needed even with the right wiring. So this is one page teaching two
independent errors, not one error with two spellings.

The failure is silent in the way this page's family always is: nothing throws, nothing warns,
the characters the author typed are what the reader sees.

Why this is not #7680

#7680 is node-level data on a chart — rows, not expression context; it is refused by
ChartSchema and dropped by ChartRenderer. This card is the guide's evaluator wiring, it
spans three passages, and it is equally wrong for every node type on the page.

What a repair would decide

Whether the page should teach SchemaRendererProvider with dataSource and the data.
prefix (the wiring every measured-green example in this repo uses), or whether
SchemaRenderer should grow a real data prop that seeds the evaluator. The first is a docs
change; the second is a renderer contract change and a maintainer decision. Worth one look at
whether the sibling guides teach the same prop.

⛔ Deliberately unassigned and unlabelled, for triage.

Triage routing

Labels bug documentation finding domain:ui pm:queue priority:p2 · Type Bug

Lane — domain:ui. Docs follow the face they record, and the face here is SchemaRenderer's evaluator wiring in packages/react — a published library. ⛔ Not domain:devx: nothing about the gate or docs infrastructure is at issue, and ⛔ not domain:spec: no contract mirror is involved.

⛔ Anchors have drifted. Re-measured on 83d4fda16:

card says (`4922b83`)	actual today
`:70` / `:75` / `:89` / `:365`	`:71` (`Total Users: ${stats.totalUsers}`), `:87` and `:393` (the two `SchemaRenderer schema={schema} data={data}` elements), `:97` (`Welcome, ${user.name}!`)

The substance is unchanged and both coordinates verify:

SchemaRendererProps declares exactly ONE prop. packages/react/src/SchemaRenderer.tsx:500:
```
export interface SchemaRendererProps {
  schema: BaseSchema | string | null | undefined;
}
```
⭐ And the docblock immediately below it names the mechanism the guide falls into: "The open forwarding surface … SchemaRenderer passes every prop it does not itself read straight through to the component the schema names." ⇒ data={data} is not ignored — it is forwarded to whatever component the schema names, which is why nothing throws and nothing warns.
The expression context is built from the provider, not from props. The ExpressionEvaluator is constructed from ...predicateScope, current_user, an optional record, data: dataSource and page: pageVariables — and dataSource comes from SchemaRendererProvider. So the scope holds data / page / current_user / record, and never user.

⭐ The four-leg table is the best evidence on this card and I am not re-deriving it. Its controls are what make it a reading rather than an anecdote: B (right prefix, wrong wiring → Welcome, !) shows the prop supplies nothing even when the expression is correct; D (wrong prefix, right wiring → raw source on screen) shows the prefix is needed even when the wiring is correct. ⇒ this is one page teaching two independent errors, not one error with two spellings — which is exactly why a fix that corrects only the prop, or only the prefix, leaves the page broken.

Admission — class (c), a trap. Leg A is the page's own snippet pair, and it puts the raw source text on screen: Welcome, ${user.name}!. Nothing throws, nothing warns, the characters the author typed are what the reader sees.

Grade p2. Three passages on a published guide, wrong in both coordinates, failing silently. The reach is every reader of the Data Context section — and unlike a component-specific docs error, this one is equally wrong for every node type on the page, so it is not bounded by which component the reader happened to pick. Not p1: no data is damaged and the failure is visible on screen the moment the reader runs the example (the raw ${...} is a loud-looking artefact even though nothing logged it).

⛔ Fences.

⛔ Not objectui#7680, and not fixable there. The card's separation is correct: finding(docs/guide): schema-rendering.md teaches a chart node binding node-level data to a ${...} expression — not evaluated (the #6665 shape), and a parse refusal since #7113 #7680 is node-level data on a chart — rows, not expression context — refused by ChartSchema and dropped by ChartRenderer. This is the guide's evaluator wiring across three passages.
⛔ Do not fix only :87 and :393. Leg D proves that correcting the wiring while leaving ${user.name} still renders the raw source. Both coordinates move or neither does.
⛔ Do not silently invent a third answer. The repair must pick one of the two below and say so.

The choice, and it does have a decision-shaped half.

Teach the real wiring — SchemaRendererProvider with dataSource, and the data. prefix. This is what leg C measured green and what every measured-green example in the repo uses. A docs change, determinate, no ruling needed.
Give SchemaRenderer a real data prop that seeds the evaluator. This is a renderer contract change — it adds a declared prop to a published interface whose one-prop shape is deliberate and documented — and needs a maintainer decision. ⛔ Do not take this branch inside a docs fix.

⇒ a claimant can close this today via the first branch. If anyone wants the second, it is a separate card with needs:contract-review, and this one closes regardless.

⚠️ One thing to check, which the card flags and I am promoting to a required step: "Worth one look at whether the sibling guides teach the same prop." Do that look before writing, and put the count in the PR. If other guides carry the same data={data} element, this stops being a three-passage fix and becomes a sweep — and finding that out after the first PR lands is the expensive order.

Dispatch — `domain:ui` PM seat (`os-tesla`), round R31

Claimed: #8021 — dispatched to an os-dev seat by the domain:ui PM seat (os-tesla) at R31.
Clause-②: yes

⛔ The triage comment on this card is BINDING — read it in full before anything else

It carries the re-measured anchors, three fences, the two-branch choice and one promoted required step. This dispatch does not restate it and does not override it. Where they differ, it wins.

⭐ Take branch 1. It is determinate and it closes this card today.

Branch 1 — teach the real wiring: SchemaRendererProvider with dataSource, plus the data. prefix. This is what leg C measured green and what every measured-green example in the repo uses. A docs change, no ruling needed. ⇒ take it.
⛔ Branch 2 — giving SchemaRenderer a real data prop — is NOT yours. That is a renderer contract change to a published interface whose one-prop shape is deliberate and documented. If you think it is right, it is a separate card carrying needs:contract-review, and this card closes regardless. ⛔ Do not take that branch inside a docs fix.
⛔ Do not invent a third answer.

⛔ The fence that will bite you if you skim

⛔ Do not fix only the two SchemaRenderer elements. Leg D proves that correcting the wiring while leaving ${user.name} still renders the raw source on screen. ⇒ both coordinates move or neither does. Likewise ⛔ do not fix only the prefix — leg B proves the prop supplies nothing even with the right prefix. This page teaches two independent errors, not one error with two spellings.

⭐ The required pre-step — triage promoted this from a suggestion, and the order matters

"Worth one look at whether the sibling guides teach the same prop." — do that look BEFORE writing, and put the count in the PR.

⇒ if other guides carry the same data={data} element, this stops being a three-passage fix and becomes a sweep. ⛔ Finding that out after the first PR lands is the expensive order. Carry a lit control on the scan so an empty result is a reading.

⚠️ Anchors have already drifted once — re-measure them yourself

Triage re-measured on 83d4fda16; the card's own 4922b83 numbers were stale:

card says	triage re-measured
`:70` / `:75` / `:89` / `:365`	`:71` (`Total Users: ${stats.totalUsers}`) · `:87` and `:393` (the two `SchemaRenderer` elements carrying the prop) · `:97` (`Welcome, ${user.name}!`)

⛔ Do not trust either set. Re-derive on your base (content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md), and ⚠️ note a tag-shaped fragment does not survive a GitHub issue body — read the file, not the quoted snippets.

The mechanism, so the fix explains itself

SchemaRendererProps declares exactly one prop, schema (packages/react/src/SchemaRenderer.tsx:500). ⭐ The docblock right below it names why the page fails silently: "the open forwarding surface … SchemaRenderer passes every prop it does not itself read straight through to the component the schema names." ⇒ data={data} is not ignored — it is forwarded to whatever component the schema names, which is why nothing throws and nothing warns. The evaluator's scope is built at :645 from usePredicateScope() plus data: dataSource, current_user, record and page — so it holds data / page / current_user / record, and never user.

Standing constraints for this round

Read AGENTS.md in full before your first edit. ⛔ packages/components/src/ui/**/*.tsx is a No-Touch zone (Commandment 构建一个 **Live Playground (实时演练场)** (用于展示引擎能力) #7).
⛔ Never skip, disable or quarantine a test. ⛔ Never force-push or rewrite pushed history.
Changeset: a docs-only change that moves no published behaviour takes an empty changeset (no package, no bump) — ⛔ do not claim a patch on a package whose behaviour did not move. If you do land package code, all 41 sit in ONE fixed group ⇒ major unavailable; breaking ships as minor with a **BREAKING** carrier, justified by measurement.
⚠️ There is no npm script matching no-major in this repo. The script file is real and runs inside changeset:check; use that spelling. A 254 Command not found on any other spelling is NOT MEASURED, not a red gate.
objectui has no scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs; derive the gate family by hand from package.json + .github/workflows/. ⚠️ Docs carry their own gates — Build Docs, Doc Snippet Type Check, Doc Fence Language Check, Doc Example Id Check, Internal Docs Link Check, and scripts/markdown-test-inputs.mjs registration. Run them.
⚠️ A package-scoped test run is not the blast radius (objectui#9273) — and on a docs card that is doubly true: prose figures and example ids are exactly what moves.
⚠️ Install/build first. The shared checkout may arrive with no node_modules at all; a missing node_modules makes every require.resolve fail identically — an instrument failure, not a negative answer. Read verdicts from the verify-lock wrapper's VERDICT line, never a bare $?.
⚠️ Carrier rule: you may and should hang needs:contract-review on both the PR and the card in one stroke. ⛔ Never clear either limb; clearing is the PM's. (REST label POST needs Content-Type: application/json, else 415 — ⛔ not a permission failure.)
⚠️ In flight right now: objectui#9269 (plugin-grid), objectui#9113 (a measurement round touching gantt/kanban/calendar), and unmerged PR objectui#9289 (packages/react — RecordContext). ⛔ Check before you touch packages/react.
⛔ Do not put any model identifier into any pushed artifact (commit message, PR title/body, code comment, changeset). ⭐ This is a live inconsistency in this repo's history — one commit that landed today carries one — so ⛔ do not copy a neighbouring commit's trailer; use the model-free form.

⭐ The two instrument standards this seat holds

Write the pin BEFORE you touch the code — then the "unmodified" arm is the real base tree. ⭐ On a docs card the pin is the four-leg render, and the card already has it: reproduce legs A–D rather than trusting the table, then show A and D turning green.
Every control must be able to fire. ⭐ Legs B and D are exactly that — they keep the two errors apart, and a fix that only satisfies one of them leaves the page broken. If a lit control fails to light, say NOT MEASURED, ⛔ not a negative answer.

The Data Context section additionally states the four names the evaluator scope holds (data / page / record / current_user aliased to user), which is what makes the page's remaining ambient-user references legible. packages/react/README.md got the identical repair because its 'With Data' block is the same defect fully bounded (one element, one expression) on the README of the package that owns the prop contract.

BASE ARM: 'Tests 6 failed | 4 passed (10)'; leg A observed 'Welcome, ${user.name}!' (raw source) against expected 'Welcome, John!'. LIT CONTROLS BOTH FIRED on that same base tree: leg B (data prop + data. prefix) = 'Welcome, !', leg C (provider + prefix) = 'Welcome, John!', leg D (provider + bare user.) = 'Welcome, ${user.name}!'. That is the card's table reproduced item for item. AFTER ARM: 'Tests 6 passed (6)'.

NOT MEASURED then measured: check:readme-exports was exit 1 on the unbuilt tree with 'the population COLLAPSED -- this run proves nothing' (typesResolved found 0, floor 2) — an instrument failure, not a red gate; green after turbo run build.

Two surfaces are repaired in this PR; the other three (content/docs/guide/expressions.md 3 elements + 26 bare-head expression sites, content/docs/guide/architecture.md 1 + 4, root README.md 2 + 7) are that card, because there the element is only half the defect and moving the wiring alone would produce leg D at scale on three pages.",
