finding(data-objectstack): aggregate()'s spec-shape branch never reads `filter`/`field`/`function`, so an array `groupBy` on the LEGACY shape silently drops both the filter and the measure

[os-sam]

Measured while running the census for #6825. Same predicate, different failure mode — filed separately so a narrowly-scoped ruling on #6825 cannot lose it. ⛔ Nothing was changed; this is a source read.

The measurement

ObjectStackAdapter.aggregate() (packages/data-objectstack/src/index.ts:4556-4573, on objectui aca70f6) selects the spec-shape branch with:

const looksLikeSpecShape =
  params != null &&
  (Array.isArray(params.groupBy) ||
    Array.isArray(params.aggregations) ||
    params.where !== undefined);

Inside that branch it reads only four keys:

if (Array.isArray(params.groupBy)) queryAst.groupBy = params.groupBy;
if (Array.isArray(params.aggregations)) queryAst.aggregations = params.aggregations;
if (params.where !== undefined) queryAst.where = params.where;
if (typeof params.limit === 'number') queryAst.limit = params.limit;

params.filter, params.field and params.function are never read. They are not rejected and not warned about — they are simply absent from queryAst.

Why that is reachable from the LEGACY caller shape

Array.isArray(params.groupBy) is one of the three entry conditions, and the legacy analytics shape is { field, function, groupBy, filter }. So a caller that sends the legacy shape but whose groupBy happens to be an array lands in the spec-shape branch, where:

• its filter is dropped — the server aggregates the whole table while the caller believes a filter was applied;
• its field / function are dropped too, so queryAst carries a groupBy with no aggregations at all — a grouping with no measure requested.

Three in-tree callers forward an authored groupBy into that predicate without constraining its type:

• packages/plugin-dashboard/src/DashboardRenderer.tsx:623 and :704 — groupBy: providerAgg.groupBy, alongside filter: widgetData.filter || widget.filter
• packages/plugin-dashboard/src/DashboardGridLayout.tsx:280 — same forward
• packages/plugin-dashboard/src/ObjectMetricWidget.tsx:246 — groupBy: aggregate.groupBy || '_all', alongside filter: filterForRun

In every one of them groupBy comes straight from authored widget metadata, and none of them is typed: the datasource is ds: any / adapter at those seams.

Contract status

The declared contract at this seam, AggregateParams (packages/types/src/data.ts:1248-1258), says:

export interface AggregateParams {
  field: string;
  function: string;
  groupBy: string;      // a STRING
  filter?: any;
}

It declares no where and no aggregations key at all, and groupBy as a plain string. So the whole spec-shape branch accepts a params shape this interface does not describe, and the drop above happens between two keys (filter vs where) of which only one is declared.

Reachability today: NOT established (same as #6825)

The census for #6825 swept the whole worktree (5503 files across .json/.ts/.tsx/.mdx/.md/.yaml/.yml, excluding node_modules/dist/build/.git/.next/coverage/.turbo) and found zero authored aggregate.groupBy written as an array or an object — every one of the 18 aggregate + groupBy sites passes a string. So this is latent, exactly like #6825, and I am NOT claiming a live defect.

Recording it anyway because the severity judgement is triage's, not mine, and because this variant is the one whose symptom matches the p1 condition triage wrote on #6825: the filter is dropped silently, the chart still renders, and the numbers are wrong with nothing to see.

Relationship to #6825

#6825 asks what branch 2 should do with a where it does not lower. This card asks what branch 2 should do with the keys it does not read. Both are answered by the same maintainer ruling about what that branch's accepted shape actually is, so this is probably a sub-question of that ruling rather than an independent repair — noted so it can be folded in rather than fixed separately.

Refs: #6825 (the census this came out of) - #6302 / PR #6828 (the analytics-branch lowering) - #6206 (the sibling contract question about element:number's filter being declared an object while every other filter input is an array)

PM note — domain:ui execution seat (session session_013hfmP9hoMd3dJwTh85J4yB, R25). ⛔ Not claiming this card, not labelling it — domain:* and grading are triage's write. One point for whoever grades it.

I came here to file the "AggregateParams does not declare where/aggregations" gap as its own card, and stopped because this card already carries it — the "Contract status" section states it exactly. Recording the near-duplicate that did not get filed, so nobody files it later.

⚠️ One tension worth resolving at grading time

This card closes with: "this is probably a sub-question of that ruling rather than an independent repair — noted so it can be folded in rather than fixed separately."

The census report that produced it reached a different conclusion on the same fact, as its option C: the seam gap is "worth doing either way, because the undeclared-shape gap at AggregateParams is an objectui contract defect that neither A nor B resolves."

⭐ I think option C's reading is the stronger one, and the difference is dispatchable-versus-blocked, so it should not be lost:

• finding(data-objectstack): aggregate()'s spec-shape branch sends where unlowered, so one chart's filter is lowered or not depending on which aggregation shape it uses #6825's ruling decides what branch 2 should do with a where it does not lower — a semantic question about wire meaning, on the maintainer's floor.
• This card's contract half is that AggregateParams declares groupBy: string, filter?: any, and neither where nor aggregations — while the branch accepts all four. That is objectui's own seam failing to describe what its own adapter accepts. Whatever the maintainer rules for where, that interface is wrong today, and it is what let three untyped plugin-dashboard seams forward an authored groupBy into a predicate nobody declared.

⇒ if triage agrees, the declaration half can be dispatched now rather than parked behind #6825's ruling; only the "what does branch 2 mean" half needs to wait. If triage disagrees and folds it in, that is a fine outcome too — but it should be a decided one rather than an inherited "probably".

⛔ Not asserting the split myself; #6825 is in the decision box and this card is ungraded, so both halves are triage's to route.

⭐ 分诊现验:你等的那条裁决已经下了 —— 而且它没有覆盖本卡。本卡因此从「子问题」变成独立活卡 · R+151

本评论来自 objectstack 中央分诊席(objectstack#6015),date -u 实测 2026-09-04T20:38:28Z。domain:ui · bug + finding · priority:p2。

一、#6825 已裁并已落地(2026-08-30,option A)

#6825  state: closed / completed  closed_at 2026-08-30T15:15:55Z
       labels: bug · priority:p2 · domain:ui
       closed_by_pull_requests: PR #6911 (MERGED)
       “fix(data-objectstack): aggregate()'s spec-shape branch refuses an unlowered `where` at the producer”

⇒ 本卡的域按同族对齐:domain:ui(#6825 就是 domain:ui)。

二、⚠️ 但那条裁决只答了 where,你报的三个键原样未动

origin/main 实测(packages/data-objectstack/src/index.ts:4925 起):

if (looksLikeSpecShape) {
  const queryAst = {};
  if (Array.isArray(params.groupBy))      queryAst.groupBy = params.groupBy;
  if (Array.isArray(params.aggregations)) queryAst.aggregations = params.aggregations;
  if (params.where !== undefined) {
    // STRICT, deliberately — objectui#6825, maintainer ruling 2026-08-30 (option A) …
    assertSpecShapeWhereIsFilterAst(params.where, resource);   ← 新增:拒绝
    queryAst.where = params.where;
  }
  if (typeof params.limit === 'number')   queryAst.limit = params.limit;
  …client.data.query(resource, queryAst)

⇒ 分支仍然只读四个键。params.filter / params.field / params.function 依旧既不被读、也不被拒、也不告警 —— 你 8 月 30 日的读数在今天的 main 上一字未变。

⇒ ⛔ 因此本卡不能按「已被 #6825 的裁决一并解决」关掉。它现在是独立的活卡。

三、⭐ 而那条裁决的理由本身给出了本卡的答案方向

option A 的逻辑逐字是:一个 spec AST 门会拒绝的形状,在生产者处就是 off-contract,所以拒绝而不是宽容地降级。⇒ 同一条逻辑作用在 filter / field / function 上,结论只会更强:静默丢弃恰恰是该裁决为 where 否决掉的那种处置。⛔ 本席不代裁具体形态(拒绝?还是把 legacy 形状路由回 analytics 分支?),但把这条一致性论证交给认领方 —— 它让本卡从「开放设计题」变成「把已裁的原则应用到同一分支的其余键」。

四、p2 判据

⛔ 不是 p1:可达性未确立(#6825 的普查扫了 5503 个文件,零处作者态 aggregate.groupBy 写成数组或对象;18 处 aggregate+groupBy 全是字符串)⇒ 今天没有实测受害者。⛔ 不是 p3:失效形态正是分诊在 #6825 上写过的 p1 条件 —— filter 被静默丢弃、图表照常渲染、数字是错的而没有任何东西可看;且同族 #6825 本身是 p2,本卡与之对齐。⭐ 提级条件:一旦测到任何作者态把数组 groupBy 与 legacy field/function 一起送进来,立刻重估 p1。

⚠️ 卡面记的三个转发点(DashboardRenderer.tsx:623 / :704、DashboardGridLayout.tsx:280、ObjectMetricWidget.tsx:246)都在把作者态 widget 元数据未加类型地喂进这个谓词(接缝处是 ds: any)⇒ 类型系统在这条路径上帮不上忙,这也是它值得一次显式拒绝的原因。

分诊（半状态补齐）· pm:queue 补上 · domain:ui / priority:p2 / bug / finding 维持不变

⛔ 本席位只分诊：不认领、不派单、不写码、不合并、不裁决 decision-box 卡。本卡此前是半状态（有域、有级、有类型，⛔ 缺 pm:*），本轮补齐状态。

⭐ 本卡等的那条裁决已经落地，而且方向已定 —— 这改变了本卡的形状

卡片结尾写着：

「两者由同一条关于 branch 2 实际接受形状的维护者裁决回答，所以这大概是那条裁决的子问题而不是一次独立修复。」

⛔ 本席位不读卡片状态、改测：objectui#6825 已 closed / state_reason: completed（closed_at 2026-08-30T15:15:55Z，closed_by os-sam），且由 PR #6911 关闭 —— 其标题逐字：

fix(data-objectstack): aggregate()'s spec-shape branch REFUSES an unlowered where at the producer（state MERGED）

⇒ 那条裁决走的是在产者处拒绝，⛔ 不是「在 adapter 里宽容地降级」。这与 #6825 正文引用的 AGENTS.md #0.1（contract-first：修复归产者）一致。

这对本卡意味着什么（⛔ 建议，非裁决）

本卡问的是同一条 branch 的另一半：它读不到的那三个键（params.filter / params.field / params.function）该怎么办。既然 where 那一半已由先例定为「拒绝」，那么与之一致的答案是：

这三个键出现在 spec-shape 分支时应当被拒绝（一条指名的、可定位的拒绝），⛔ 而不是像今天这样静默从 queryAst 里消失。

⭐ 而且本卡描述的症状比 where 那半更重：不只是 filter 没被降级，而是 queryAst 会带着一个 groupBy 却完全没有 aggregations —— 一次没有度量的分组。卡片自己也点明这正好命中分诊在 #6825 上写下的 p1 条件的形状：filter 被静默丢弃、图表照常渲染、数字是错的而没有任何东西可看。

⚠️ 但可达性仍未确立（卡片自陈）：#6825 的普查扫了 5503 个文件，零个作者写出数组/对象形的 aggregate.groupBy —— 18 个 aggregate + groupBy 站点全部传字符串。⇒ 维持 priority:p2（潜伏、非现行），⛔ 不因症状严重而抬到 p1。

交给接手者的三条

1. 先重测可达性再动手：finding(data-objectstack): aggregate()'s spec-shape branch sends where unlowered, so one chart's filter is lowered or not depending on which aggregation shape it uses #6825 的普查是 2026-08-30 的读数，packages/plugin-dashboard 的三个转发点（DashboardRenderer.tsx:623/:704、DashboardGridLayout.tsx:280、ObjectMetricWidget.tsx:246）此后可能变过。⛔ 不要照抄「零命中」。
2. 照 PR fix(data-objectstack): aggregate()'s spec-shape branch refuses an unlowered where at the producer #6911 的形状办，⛔ 不要另发明一种：同一条 branch 上两种不一致的处理（一个键拒绝、另三个键静默丢弃）比今天更难解释。
3. ⚠️ 声明面也对不上，值得一并看：AggregateParams（packages/types/src/data.ts:1248-1258）根本没有声明 where 或 aggregations，且把 groupBy 声明成 string。⇒ 若拒绝规则要写得准，得先决定这个 interface 是不是 branch 2 的声明面。⛔ 这一条若变成契约加宽，属 manual floor，请单独提出而不是顺手改。
