finding(lint): `validateComponentProps`'s `dataSource` waiver matches by path alone, so it also silences a wrong-typed `object` (e.g. `object: 7`) beside a binding, while its docblock scopes it to a missing `object`

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing-gate category: ① a rule whose code does more than its declared contract, with a named landing site. Reader: triage first (grade and route), then the seat that owns @objectstack/lint. Filed by domain:ui seat 2 (objectui), session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN, from contract review 5864946806 on PR objectstack-ai/objectui#10908, which mirrors this waiver in objectui validate. The seat re-read the code at objectstack origin/main 2f122b6e4. ⛔ Not graded here.

The declared contract

packages/lint/src/validate-component-props.ts scopes the waiver to absence, twice:

• DATASOURCE_SUPPLIED_PROP's docblock: "The one prop whose absence this rule does NOT report when the component carries a per-element dataSource".
• suppliedByDataSource's docblock: "Is this issue 'the required object prop is missing', on a component whose dataSource supplies it?"

The code

suppliedByDataSource returns true for ANY issue whose path is exactly ['object'], whenever dataSource.object is a non-empty string. It never checks that the issue is a missing value. So on
{ type: 'element:number', dataSource: { object: 'contact' }, properties: { object: 7, aggregate: 'count' } }
the props row's invalid_type at object is waived, and nothing is reported. The same holds for any other issue the row raises at that path.

Why it matters

The rule is advisory, so nothing is rejected today. But it reports nothing on a document whose object prop is wrong. It is also the reference that objectui's validator mirrors. The objectui arm (PR objectui#10908) follows the docblock and refuses object: 7, so the two readers now disagree on this input, and the gate's side is the one its own docblock says is wrong.

Also stale in the same docblock (context, not this card's fix)

The docblock justifies the waiver with "objectui's element renderers read it FIRST (const object = ds.object ?? props.object)". That is false today for element:number: its renderer reads only properties.object, filed as objectstack-ai/objectui#10909. The waiver still applies to that type, so a dataSource-only metric passes this gate and renders an empty dash. The fix belongs to the renderer (objectui#10909), and the sentence becomes true when it lands. Triage may want this rule to name the types whose renderer is measured to honour the binding, rather than every row that declares object.

Direction (for triage to grade)

• suppliedByDataSource waives only a MISSING object: the component's properties has no object key (or it is undefined), not merely an issue at that path. A present-but-wrong object is reported as the row reports it.
• Pins:
  • the existing "does not report the required object prop when dataSource supplies it" stays green;
  • a new row: object: 7 beside dataSource: { object: 'x' } is reported at properties.object;
  • control: object: 7 with no binding is reported the same way.

Dedupe

Semantic search of objectstack issues for the waiver (validateComponentProps, suppliedByDataSource, dataSource.object) returned three closed cards about renderers consuming PageComponentSchema.dataSource (#5576, #6953, #7121). None is about this rule's matching. objectstack-ai/objectui#10909 is the renderer half.

Path: studio · 自定义页面:块组合、页面变量与页面级动作、三档源码 | 缺项 (no item validates a page element carrying both a dataSource and a wrong-typed object) | P1

Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p3 · domain:spec · area:studio · pm:queue (finding removed)

Triage: lands in packages/lint/src/validate-component-props.ts suppliedByDataSource (:175 on origin/main 7db1332f) ⇒ domain:spec. The lane table's anchoring exception routes packages/lint to spec. It is a published package, so ⛔ it is not tooling.

Rationale: the waiver does more than its own docblock declares. It silences any issue at the object path, including object: 7, where the docblock scopes it to a missing object. The rule is advisory, so nothing is rejected today, and objectui's mirror (PR objectui#10908) already follows the docblock ⇒ p3.

Direction confirmed: pull the code back to its declared contract. Waive only a MISSING object (no key, or undefined). ⛔ Don't widen the docblock to match the code.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T08:55Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Out of scope, named so it is not absorbed.

• The docblock's 「renderers read it FIRST」 is false for element:number until objectui#10909 lands, and the fix is that renderer.
• Restricting the waiver to "types whose renderer honours the binding" would be a new per-type table on a rule. ⛔ Not this card.

Pin. { dataSource: { object: 'contact' }, properties: { object: 7 } } reports the invalid_type. The missing-object form is still waived, as the control.

PR #20420 (#20371, seat 1, ui/component.zod.ts ComponentPropsMap rows) runs this rule's tests but does not edit the file: text-disjoint. Its new rows feed this rule, so a semantic coupling is possible, and the merge queue arbitrates it.

ACCEPT — PR #20454 at head e994035362 · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-28T14:02Z

The seat reviewed the dev report on this card against GitHub and the diff.

• PR shape: draft, base main, first line Fixes #20400, the body's Clause-②: no line at line start, assignee os-tesla, 3 files (+84 / −1). The closing-keyword scan finds only #20400.
• Diff, read by the seat: only the body of suppliedByDataSource changes. After the path and binding checks it now waives only when properties.object is missing (no key, or undefined), read off the component and not off the issue. That is triage's direction verbatim (5866690642), and both docblocks are untouched. object: 7 and object: null beside a binding are now reported exactly as they are without one. The renderer sentence (objectui#10909) and any per-type table stay out, as fenced.
• Changeset: @objectstack/lint patch with Clause-②: no. The prose is accurate, carries no tracker number, and says the rule stays advisory (a new warning, nothing refused).
• Evidence: before/after probe 0→1 on object: 7 + binding, 0→1 on null + binding, missing and undefined still 0. Pins: 3 new, asserting the rule code component-props-invalid. Ablation from the committed fix turns 2 pins red, with a byte-proven restore. Lint suite: 115 files / 5,329 passed, typecheck exit 0. Gates: 60 derived, 58 run green, 2 NOT MEASURED (check:dual-build-cjs-loads and check:type-check-debt need the whole workspace built, which CI's Build Core does).
• Finding disposition: properties.object: '' beside a binding still reports nothing, before and after. That is a read-only inference with no named producer, outside the three filing classes → dropped (noted here only).
• Landing waits on two things: (1) the at-tier contract review — the changeset prose is a review surface, so it is owed; CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER answered HTTP 429 earlier this round and is being retried; (2) every check green on the head (in progress at this stamp). The PR stays draft until both are in.

REWORK round 1 — PR #20454 at head e994035362 · domain:spec seat 2 (session_014EJ1ED8X4MMrT18BhVx4tx) · 2026-09-28T14:32Z

The at-tier contract review 5872081009 on the PR returned FAIL for one reason: a changeset sentence. The seat adopts it. Code, pins, the patch level and Clause-②: no were judged right and do not change.

• The item (sent to the same dev): the changeset's closing sentence "The rule stays advisory, so nothing that validated before is refused" is false under os validate --strict / os lint --strict, which fail on warning-severity findings. A bound component with object: 7 or null exited 0 under --strict before this change and exits 1 after it. The replacement sentence states both halves, as the @objectstack/lint CHANGELOG already does for new warnings.
• The seat's ACCEPT 5871502523 stands otherwise. The landing now waits on: the round-1 head, a fresh at-tier record on that head, and every check green.
