Fixes #4373

Implements the PM ruling recorded in the triage comment: one exported invalidation seam, routed by every writer (option B), rather than a fifth restatement of the key list.

The defect

ObjectStackAdapter caches two view-shaped reads — getView under view:{object}:{name} and listViewOverrides under view-overrides:{object} — with MetadataCache's default 5-minute TTL. #4363 fixed the adapter's own four write paths, but the console's real create-a-view flow is a second writer into the same /meta/view/:name rows and invalidated nothing:

  • ObjectView.handleViewCreate to createRuntimeMetadata to metadataClient.save
  • Publish: RuntimeDraftBar to publishRuntimeMetadata to metadataClient.publish

Publish is the sharp end. A create lands an invisible per-item draft, and listViewOverrides enumerates published rows, so the map is still honest there. Publish promotes the row into exactly the world the map describes — and nothing dropped the key. It does not self-heal: loadViewOverrides treats a RESOLVED map as authoritative and deliberately does not re-probe per view (#3774, correct — re-probing reinstates the 404 flurry the batch read exists to remove), so the per-view getView fallback that would have masked a stale map is by design unreachable.

The seam

invalidateViewKeys(objectName: string, viewName: string): void {
  this.metadataCache.invalidate?.(`view:${objectName}:${viewName}`);
  this.metadataCache.invalidate?.(`view-overrides:${objectName}`);
}

The ONE place that knows the key set. Public because the writers are not all in the class. viewName is taken as-is — a runtime-created view is named account.mine, but a source-declared one is not qualified, so splitting on . would be a second, silently-wrong identity rule (AGENTS.md #0.1).

The rule is uniform per write, not per branch: draft-addressed writes over-invalidate on purpose. An unnecessary invalidation costs one refetch; a missed one costs up to the 5-minute TTL, and "which half am I in?" is exactly the question that got this key set forgotten twice.

Routing evidence

writer routed
updateViewConfig seam
createView seam
updateView (draft half) seam
updateView (published half) seam
deleteView seam
app-shell persistRuntimeMetadata / createRuntimeMetadata / publishRuntimeMetadata / discardRuntimeDraft seam, when type === 'view'
MetadataService.saveMetadataItem seam, when category === 'view'

The four adapter paths' 8 pins in viewCacheInvalidation.pin.test.ts are byte-for-byte unchanged and pass — that is the ruling's acceptance evidence that routing them through a seam changed nothing observable.

The object name is handed down from the call site (ObjectView, ObjectDataPage, ViewConfigPanel to RuntimeDraftBar), never parsed out of the row name. MetadataService derives it from the body via the exported viewItemObjectName — the same accessor listViewOverrides narrows those rows by, not a fourth private copy.

MetadataService sibling — measured, not assumed

  • saveMetadataItem: wired. No in-repo caller passes 'view' today, but the class is public API (useMetadataService, exported from app-shell's barrel), so "unreachable" would have been an unmeasured claim about consumers we do not own.
  • deleteMetadataItem: documented as structurally unable, not wired. Both keys are object-scoped; this signature has no object parameter and the tombstone body it writes ({ name, enabled, _deleted }) carries no object binding either — there is nothing to derive one from. The doc comment records what to do if a 'view' caller ever appears.

Pre-fix red (reverse verification)

Directions were predicted before each run. Five reversals:

# reversal predicted measured
1 drop seam call from publishRuntimeMetadata red on publish cases 3 red — getItems stuck at 1 call, map never learns account.mine, getView key still populated. The 3 controls (report type / no adapter / no objectName) stayed green
2 drop seam call from createRuntimeMetadata red only on create 1 red, exactly the create case; all publish cases green
3 re-inline the pair into deleteView 8 pins green, structural pin red all 8 behavioural pins green (including deleteView invalidates both keys), structural pin 3 red (counts 3 not 2; invalidateLines 4 not 2)
4 drop the category === 'view' branch red on the 2 positive cases 2 red, 4 green
5 restore node:fs in the new pin test red typecheck TS2591 x3 — this package has no @types/node

Reversal 3 is the one that matters. It is the measured proof that the behavioural pins cannot see a restatement: re-inlining the key pair into a write path emits identical keys in identical order, so all 8 stay green while the seam quietly stops being the single source of truth. That blind spot is why the new guard is structural — it asserts each key template appears exactly twice in index.ts (its reader, plus the seam), and that no app-shell file interpolates either key at all.

Honest correction to my own prediction: I called reversal 1 for 2 red and it produced 3. The third, an invalidation failure does not fail the publish that succeeded, observes the seam call through its console.warn, so it is a positive publish case — I had mis-binned it as a control. Direction correct, count off by one.

Verification

  • pnpm exec vitest run packages/data-objectstack/ packages/app-shell/ --maxWorkers=2 — 383 files, 3787 passed, 1 skipped
  • type-check both packages (3 tsc invocations incl. tsconfig.test.json) — clean
  • repo-wide turbo run type-check --concurrency=2 — 78/78
  • eslint both packages — 0 errors (warnings pre-existing no-explicit-any)
  • check-control-bytes OK; changeset presence OK; no-major OK (patch for both packages)

Recovered after host restart

A host restart killed the previous agent for this issue mid-task. Recorded for review:

Inherited and verified (not rewritten): the worktree, and one wip: baseline for reverse verification commit holding the whole implementation — adapter seam, four routed paths, app-shell wiring, MetadataService, three test files, changeset. Audited against the ruling's four points before trusting it; all four were already satisfied.

Inherited dirty file, kept: viewInvalidationSeam.pin.test.ts was uncommitted, mid-switch from node:fs to ts.sys. Diffed against the commit and kept as forward progress rather than discarded as a revert artifact — reversal 5 above confirms it was a genuine fix in flight (data-objectstack carries no @types/node, and the sibling cloud-surface-retired-4152.pin.test.ts records the same ts.sys convention).

Redone from scratch by me: all five reverse verifications (the previous agent died mid-reversal, so none of its results were trusted), the entire verification ladder above, the origin/main merge, and the history — the wip commit was soft-reset into one clean commit with a real message. Nothing had been pushed, so no remote state needed reconciling.

…ache invalidation seam

`ObjectStackAdapter` caches two view-shaped reads — `getView` under
`view:{object}:{name}` and `listViewOverrides` under `view-overrides:{object}` —
with `MetadataCache`'s default 5-minute TTL. objectui#4363 fixed the adapter's
own four write paths, but the console's real create-a-view flow is a SECOND
writer into the same `/meta/view/:name` rows and invalidated nothing:
`handleViewCreate` → `createRuntimeMetadata` → `metadataClient.save`, and
Publish → `RuntimeDraftBar` → `publishRuntimeMetadata` → `metadataClient.publish`.

Publish is the sharp end: it promotes an invisible draft into a published row,
which is exactly the world `listViewOverrides` enumerates, and nothing dropped
the key. It does not self-heal — `loadViewOverrides` treats a RESOLVED map as
authoritative and deliberately does not re-probe per view (objectui#3774) — so
the per-view `getView` fallback that would have masked it is by design
unreachable.

`ObjectStackAdapter.invalidateViewKeys(objectName, viewName)` is now the ONE
place that knows the key set. The adapter's four write paths call it instead of
restating the pair (their eight pins pass unchanged, which is the refactor's
acceptance evidence), app-shell's ADR-0034 persistence module calls it for
`view` saves/creates/publishes/discards, and `MetadataService.saveMetadataItem`
calls it when the category is `view`. `deleteMetadataItem` is documented as
structurally unable to derive an object binding rather than wired.

ACCEPT — PM 复核 (session session_017Qqyix2QcnpUC9XeYVDzx3), closes #4373.

  • Recovery: the wip commit's completeness was audited against all four ruling points, not assumed, and the dirty file's disposition was settled by measurement (RV-5's TS2591 ×3 proves it was a fix in flight). The unpushed-history rewrite into one clean commit is correct precisely because nothing was on the remote.
  • The seam is ruled shape delivered: one public key-set owner, four adapter paths routed, app-shell never spells a cache key — held by a STRUCTURAL pin, and RV-3 is the review's centerpiece: re-inlining the keys leaves all 8 behavioral pins green, the measured demonstration that behavioral pins are blind to faithful restatement. That result is what justifies the structural guard class, and it's now on the record for the next cache-key card.
  • MetadataService split disposition accepted as measured honesty: save wired through the newly-exported viewItemObjectName (no fourth identity rule); delete documented structurally-unable with the future fix written at the site — "declaring it unreachable would have been an unmeasured claim about consumers we do not own" is exactly the standard.
  • The RV-1 prediction correction (2 predicted, 3 measured, mis-binned warn-observer) reported rather than smoothed is the protocol working. Uniform over-invalidation on draft writes accepted on the stated asymmetric cost, pinned as the seam's rule.
  • Residual risk noted for the record: dataSource/objectName optionality means a future view-writing call site can silently skip invalidation — mitigated by the structural pins, not eliminated. If a third door ever appears, that's the card to file.

Flipping ready + arming auto-merge. This landing frees app-shell's metadata-admin surface (#4387 dispatches) and data-objectstack.
