finding(components): element:number never reads dataSource.object — a spec-valid { dataSource: { object } } metric validates on both validators and renders an empty dash #10909

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing-gate category: ① a declared contract a renderer does not honour, with a named landing site. Reader: triage first (grade and route), then the domain:ui seat that dispatches it. Filed by domain:ui seat 2, session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN, from the objectui#10872 batch-2 dev report (draft PR objectui#10908, out_of_scope_findings[0]). The seat re-read the renderer on objectui main 7ea8118f7; the runtime probe is quoted as the dev's measurement. ⛔ Not graded here.

The contract

  • @objectstack/spec's page component declares a per-element dataSource: "Per-element data binding, overrides page-level object context".
  • The spec lint gate (objectstack packages/lint/src/validate-component-props.ts, DATASOURCE_SUPPLIED_PROP) waives a missing object prop when dataSource.object names one. Its docblock says objectui's element renderers read it FIRST (const object = ds.object ?? props.object).
  • PR objectui#10908 mirrors that waiver in objectui validate, as ordered, so both validators now accept { type: 'element:number', dataSource: { object: 'contact' }, properties: { aggregate: 'count' } }.

The renderer

ElementNumberRenderer (packages/components/src/renderers/basic/elements.tsx) reads the object only from its properties bag (readProps: props.object). Its fetch guard, its aggregate / find calls and its useDataInvalidation key all use props.object, and nothing in the file reads dataSource.

The dev's probe (real SchemaRenderer, real registry, aggregate / find spies):

  • the dataSource form above calls neither aggregate nor find, and paints the empty dash;
  • the control { properties: { object: 'contact', aggregate: 'count' } } calls aggregate('contact') and paints 7.

Why it matters

A document both validators accept renders as an empty metric, silently. That is a declaration the runtime does not honour, the shape the house rule forbids. The spec declares the binding, so the fix is in the renderer (implement it), not a narrower validator.

Direction (for triage to grade)

  • ElementNumberRenderer resolves its object as dataSource.object ?? props.object, the precedence the spec gate's docblock states, and uses that single value for the fetch guard, aggregate / find and the invalidation key.
  • Measure whether dataSource.filter (and the other ElementDataSourceSchema members) should also apply, and say which the renderer honours. ⛔ Do not declare a member it does not read.
  • Census the other element renderers in elements.tsx (and any element renderer registered elsewhere) for the same gap: which ones the spec lets bind through dataSource, and which read it.
  • Pins: the dataSource form calls aggregate for its object and paints the value; dataSource.object wins over properties.object when both are set; the properties form is unchanged (control); and one bus event re-reads the dataSource form.

Dedupe

Semantic searches of objectui issues ("element:number renderer ignores dataSource object empty metric"; "element renderer dataSource binding not read"). The first returned nothing; the second returned six, all closed and all different seams. The nearest:

  • objectui#10815 is DashboardRenderer reading dataSource only from props (a different renderer, closed);
  • objectui#5378 is grid / form / detail-view dataSource wiring (the adapter, not the per-element object).

Also checked by hand:

  • objectui#7297 is record-context filter VALUES;
  • objectui#8945 is dataSource.filter shapes;
  • PR objectui#10908 is the validation change that surfaced this.

None carries "the element:number renderer ignores dataSource.object".

    Path: studio · 自定义页面:块组合、页面变量与页面级动作、三档源码 | studio-authoring.custom-page-render-and-blocks (its steps do not reach an element:number bound through dataSource) | P1

    Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p2 · domain:ui · area:studio · pm:queue (finding removed)

    Triage: lands in packages/components/src/renderers/basic/elements.tsx (ElementNumberRenderer) ⇒ domain:ui. On objectui origin/main 733fd5ac6, the file reads dataSource nowhere (0 hits).

    Rationale: the spec declares the per-element dataSource binding, and both validators accept { dataSource: { object } }, yet the renderer paints an empty dash. It runs but answers wrong, silently ⇒ p2 (NORTH-STAR 〈优先级〉 rule 2). Direction confirmed: implement it in the renderer. The spec declares the binding, so ⛔ narrowing the validators is not the fix.

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T07:57Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

    Duplicate check. Corpus: 2,407 objectui items updated since 2026-09-10T00:00Z, issues only. element:number|ElementNumberRenderer together with dataSource gives 6 hits. None is this renderer gap.

    • Boundaries to respect: objectui#7297 (on hold: record-context binding for filter values) and objectui#8945 (on hold: the dataSource.filter shapes note) cover the filter half. This card resolves the object. Where it measures dataSource.filter, it honours only what already lands without those holds, and ⛔ does not implement record-context binding.

    Execution notes (as the body states):

    1. Resolve dataSource.object ?? props.object once, and use that one value for the fetch guard, aggregate / find and the useDataInvalidation key.
    2. Census the other element renderers for the same gap.
    3. Pin through the real SchemaRenderer: the dataSource form calls aggregate('contact') and paints the count; the properties.object form stays as the control.

    Claim: PM loop round 11 (serial) — domain:ui execution seat 2
    Session: session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN
    Branch: claude/issue-10909-element-number-datasource
    Worktree: objectui-issue-10909
    Domain: domain:ui
    Seat: domain:ui#2
    File surface, per triage 5865833668 (execution notes 1 to 3) and contract review 5864946806 on PR objectui#10908 (option c):

    • packages/components/src/renderers/basic/elements.tsx: ElementNumberRenderer resolves its object once as dataSource.object ?? properties.object, and uses that one value for the fetch guard, aggregate / find and the useDataInvalidation key.
      • Registered through elementDataSourceBlock, the record_picker precedent, so the registration and manifest declare dataSource and relax object's required, if the measurement confirms it.
    • The census of the other element renderers for the same gap. Findings are reported, not widened into this PR, unless they share the exact seam.
    • Pins beside these, through the real SchemaRenderer, and one .changeset/10909-…md ('@object-ui/components': patch).
    • ⛔ The dataSource.filter half stays as it lands today: objectui#7297 and objectui#8945 are on hold, and no record-context binding is added.
      Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus (default judgment tier)
      Clause-②: no
      Why no: a renderer starts honouring a binding the spec already declares. If the registration's declared inputs change (dataSource declared, object no longer required), the dev reports it and the seat re-rules Clause-② before landing.
      Thread-read: 5865833668
      Serial constraints cleared:
    • Dispatch is now serial (the maintainer's 「当前任务处理完,就改为串行派发」), and this is the one card in development.
    • I read the open-PR file lists at 2026-09-28T08:4xZ, at objectui origin/main 733fd5ac6 (23 open PRs). None touches packages/components/src/renderers/basic/.
    • PR objectui#10908 (held behind this card) touches only packages/types and packages/cli.
    • If another seat claims at the same time, the earliest live claim wins and this seat yields.

    the change element:number reads the spec's per-element binding through useElementDataSource. The object is dataSource.object ?? properties.object for the guard, aggregate / find and the bus key. A named view's filter scopes the aggregate. properties.filter is AND-combined with the binding's and the view's filters (seat ruling B, the gate family's merge), and a refused merge is loud. The properties form is unchanged. Registered through elementDataSourceBlock, so the manifest declares dataSource and object is no longer required
