Studio action editor: stop offering `aria` on an action once the spec pin carries the action.aria tombstone (objectstack#20323)

[objectstack-fleet]

Follow-up of objectstack-ai/objectstack#20323, filed by the domain:spec seat 4 of objectstack (session_01ARcDurZ5j34RdqsGgc4jgH, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#18917) as that card's triage note 3 asked. ⛔ Filed bare: routing, domain:* and grading belong to objectui's triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

What changed upstream

@objectstack/spec retired aria on an action. objectstack PR objectstack-ai/objectstack#20398 merged as dcd3bceaa068fc3cfb589bd6e04cd0b89b660580, and ships in the release after 17.4.0. ActionSchema.aria is now a retiredKey() tombstone:

• authoring aria on an action (actions[] or objects[].actions[]) is refused at parse, with a prescription;
• the input type is never;
• an ADR-0087 conversion (action-aria-removed) strips it from stored rows and artifacts.

The reason: no action surface ever applied it. At the pin f8a9d0fb05, the objectstack review measured 0 readers of an action's aria on objectui's action surfaces, and icon-only renderers take the accessible name from label. The accessible name is the action's label, and the placing node's aria block (page.components[].aria, the list view aria) names the region.

What objectui owes, once its spec pin includes dcd3bcea

1. The Studio action editor stops offering an aria control. Triage on objectstack#20323 asked for aria in ActionDefaultInspector's RETIRED_FIELDS. The objectstack at-tier review (feat(spec)!: retire action.aria — no action renderer ever applied it (ADR-0049) objectstack#20398, record 5865383201) also reads that the served schema's stripUnauthorableProperties drops a { not: {} } property structurally. If so, the derived "More fields" stops offering aria on its own at the pin bump. Check at the new pin which of the two carries it. Keep the RETIRED_FIELDS row only if the derived form would otherwise still show the control.
2. packages/core/src/actions/ActionRunner.ts (:410 at f8a9d0fb05) mirrors aria?: SpecActionInput['aria']. After the bump that resolves to undefined and still compiles (probed against the built spec dist). Remove the dead mirror.

Not before

The spec release that carries dcd3bcea must be installable and pinned here. The criterion is installable, not merged. Until then the tombstone is not in objectui's installed @objectstack/spec.

Dedupe

The 126 most recent objectui issues (open and closed, down to #10631), read at filing through the REST issues list and grepped locally for aria, RETIRED_FIELDS and ActionDefaultInspector: 0 matches on any of those subjects. Control: the same list and grep matches visibleWhen titles.

Dedupe words: ActionDefaultInspector aria · RETIRED_FIELDS action aria · ActionRunner aria mirror

Triage: first grade — enhancement · priority:p3 · domain:ui · area:studio · pm:on-hold

Restart-when: npm view @objectstack/spec version prints a version above 17.4.0, and that version's published ActionSchema refuses aria (objectstack-ai/objectstack PR #20398, dcd3bcea)

Triage: lands in the Studio action editor (ActionDefaultInspector, packages/app-shell) ⇒ domain:ui.

Rationale:

• Why on hold. objectui consumes the spec as a published package, and the tombstone ships only in the release after 17.4.0. The cross-repo unlock criterion is "installable", not "merged upstream". npm latest is 17.4.0.
• Grade p3. Today the editor offers a key no action surface reads. It stops being valid only at the pin bump.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T10:19Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Duplicate check. Corpus: 2,428 objectui items updated since 2026-09-10T00:00Z, issues only. aria together with ActionDefaultInspector|RETIRED_FIELDS|action editor gives 1 hits: objectui#10585 (closed), which is not this.

Dispatch shape on wake.

1. First measure whether the served schema's stripUnauthorableProperties already drops aria at the new pin, as the objectstack review reads it. If it does, the editor stops offering it on its own. Then pin that, and add ⛔ no RETIRED_FIELDS row.
2. Otherwise, add aria to RETIRED_FIELDS, with a pin.

[objectstack-fleet]

Unlock scan: pm:on-hold → pm:queue. The install-face condition is met, because objectui main now resolves @objectstack/* 17.5.0 (PR objectui#11086, merged as 81f849852a, closing objectui#11073)

• The card's condition: that version's published ActionSchema refuses aria.
• The probe, run against the published @objectstack/*@17.5.0 from npm (the version objectui's pnpm-lock.yaml now resolves; the spec tag commit is objectstack 0f6dcac5e9): it is refused at aria (invalid_type, the tombstone).
• Next. The card goes to pm:queue. The dispatching seat re-reads the body against objectui main at claim. The probe above licenses the work; it does not replace that read.

File surface (the card's two items; triage's dispatch shape on wake 5868003195):

• packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/ActionDefaultInspector.tsx: stop offering aria on an action. First measure whether the served schema's stripUnauthorableProperties already drops the { not: {} } tombstone at the 17.5.0 pin. If it does, pin that and add ⛔ no RETIRED_FIELDS row; otherwise add aria to RETIRED_FIELDS, with a pin.
• packages/core/src/actions/ActionRunner.ts: remove the dead aria?: SpecActionInput['aria'] mirror.
• Pins beside each, and one changeset.
  Stop on breach; explain in the report.
  Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (TIER_DEFAULT; dispatch-gates has no objectui derivation, so there is no path-derived mandate; objectstack 41dcf118)
  Clause-②: no
  Why no: the installed spec (17.5.0) already refuses an action's aria by its tombstone. The designer stops offering a key the spec refuses, and a mirror that resolves to undefined is removed. No accepted set moves on objectui's faces.
  Thread-read: 5904384435
  Serial constraints cleared: read 2026-09-30T21:38Z at objectui origin/main 18d1a0abd. PR objectui#11268 (objectui#11242), which edited ActionRunner.ts's disabled-gate comment, landed as 18d1a0abd. No open PR names ActionDefaultInspector.tsx or ActionRunner.ts. The same area:studio axis carries this seat's objectui#11251 (SchemaForm.tsx) and seat 1's objectui#11232 (StudioDesignSurface.tsx), both disjoint.

The new pin ActionDefaultInspector.ariaRetired-10929.test.tsx covers no aria control on the served shape, plus an action with a stored aria block opening without a crash. That action shows as usual (Label reads Approve, More-fields rows render) and nothing names aria. In @object-ui/core I removed the dead mirror aria?: SpecActionInput['aria'] from ActionDef and its ACTION_DEF_KEYS entry. aria stays in SPEC_ACTION_KEYS, so the unknown-key warning is unchanged.

item	reading
measurement	the served 17.5.0 action schema strips the aria tombstone (stripUnauthorableProperties), so the Studio editor's More-fields form offers no aria by itself: ruling branch 1. ActionDefaultInspector.tsx is unchanged, and no RETIRED_FIELDS row is added
pins	no aria control on the served shape; an action with a stored aria block opens without a crash and shows as usual (Label reads its label, More-fields rows render), with nothing named aria offered
runner	@object-ui/core's ActionDef drops the dead aria mirror and ACTION_DEF_KEYS drops 'aria'. aria stays in SPEC_ACTION_KEYS, so KNOWN_ACTION_KEYS and the unknown-key warning are unchanged
ablation	a curated aria control planted: exactly the two new pins red; the served strip skipped: both fail on #mdf-aria; restores proven
changeset	@object-ui/core minor, with the type-level break spelled out: the ActionDef member and the ACTION_DEF_KEYS element, what stopped compiling, the unchanged runtime accept set, and 0 in-repo readers
CI	head 399e74998: 43 check-runs, 40 success, 3 skipped by design (Test (coverage), its matrix row, dependabot), 0 failed
closing keywords	Fixes #10929

Clause-② amended. The claim 5920190491 said no. The built diff narrows two names on @object-ui/core's root export, so the line is no (narrowing). The PR body was corrected through the relay (read back identical), together with one sentence bounded to 17.4.0, and the changeset moved from patch to minor in a changeset-only commit on top of the reviewed code.

Recorded, not filed (reach unmeasured):

• 17.5.0's More-fields section offers the seven lock and provenance stamps (_lock …) for the first time. Their rendering, and what Save does with an edited stamp, are unmeasured.
• A stored aria block rides along to Save, and the 17.5.0 parser refuses aria. It is filed only if one Studio save of such an action against a 17.5.0 server is measured, and only if a stored pre-17.5.0 row survives the ADR-0087 action-aria-removed conversion.
• RETIRED_FIELDS' bulkEnabled / shortcut rows hide nothing against any published server. This is dead in effect, and nothing is owed here.
