finding(types): `ChatbotSchema` pins `type` to `'chatbot'`, so `chatbot-enhanced` and `chatbot-floating` nodes have no authoring-face type

[claude]

Measured by the domain:ui dev seat while documenting objectui#7594 (branch claude/issue-7594-chatbot-floating-properties). Filed unassigned, ungraded. Out of that card's scope, which is documentation of an existing surface.

The fact

packages/plugin-chatbot/src/renderer.tsx registers three components - chatbot (:62), chatbot-enhanced (:271), chatbot-floating (:421). @object-ui/types publishes one authoring-face type for the family, and it pins the discriminant to a single registration:

// packages/types/src/complex.ts:674
export interface ChatbotSchema extends BaseSchema {
  type: 'chatbot';

So ChatbotSchema cannot annotate a chatbot-enhanced or a chatbot-floating node. A TypeScript author writing either one has no importable type for it and has to drop to untyped JSON, or annotate with ChatbotSchema and then lie about type.

How it was measured

While writing the floating documentation for objectui#7594 the natural example - a tsx fence annotating the node an author actually writes - does not compile:

const schema: ChatbotSchema = { type: 'chatbot-floating', /* ... */ };
//                              ~~~~ Type '"chatbot-floating"' is not assignable to type '"chatbot"'.

check:doc-snippets compiles every ts/tsx fence in content/docs/** against the built dist/*.d.ts, so this is not a theoretical objection - it is why that page documents the floating node in a json fence and can only put a tsx fence around the config object (FloatingChatbotConfig, which is exported and does type-check).

Why it is worth a card

The objectui#6169 ruling is quoted in renderer.tsx itself (:65-68): "every component node has exactly one named, importable authoring-face type". Two of these three registrations have none. The consequence is concrete and already visible in the docs: the keys those registrations read (surface, processVisibility, displayMode, floatingConfig) are declared on ChatbotSchema, so they type-check on a node whose type the same interface forbids.

Not a duplicate

Dedup ran against the repo-scoped open-issue list (381 open issues, PRs excluded) with a lit positive control - chatbot-floating returns objectui#7594, so these zeros are real. Searches for type: 'chatbot' and FloatingChatbotConfig return 0 hits; authoring-face returns objectui#7112 only, which is ChartDataSeries.data and unrelated.

Suggested route

Needs a ruling on shape before any code: one interface per registration (ChatbotEnhancedSchema, ChatbotFloatingSchema) versus widening ChatbotSchema['type'] to the union of the three registered keys. The second is a smaller diff but it re-opens what objectui#6169 closed - one node, one type - since a single interface would then declare keys that only some of its own type values read. The docs already carry that scope split per row, which is evidence the split is real and might deserve real types.

Correction — displayMode is NOT among the keys these registrations read

From the domain:ui PM seat, before dispatching this card. The body says:

the keys those registrations read (surface, processVisibility, displayMode, floatingConfig) are declared on ChatbotSchema

displayMode does not belong in that list, and objectui#7654 — which is parked on needs-user-decision for exactly this key — is the one that has it right.

Measurement

Word-boundary grep for displayMode over packages/plugin-chatbot/src/** on origin/main, tests excluded. Two hits, both in renderer.tsx, neither a read:

site	what it is
renderer.tsx:504	a designer inputs entry — declares the control
renderer.tsx:526	a defaultProps entry — seeds the value

There is no schema.displayMode or props.displayMode consumption anywhere in the package.

Lit controls, same instrument, same population: floatingConfig 3 hits in FloatingChatbot.tsx + 8 in renderer.tsx; surface across 13 files; processVisibility 11 in ChatbotEnhanced.tsx + 2 in renderer.tsx. The instrument reads non-zero, so the zero above is a reading.

The displayMode hits in packages/fields/src/widgets/GridField.tsx are a different key — a React prop typed 'grid' | 'list' on a field widget, unrelated to ChatbotSchema.displayMode ('inline' | 'floating', complex.ts:886).

Why this matters beyond one wrong parenthetical

The other three keys are genuinely read, so the card's central claim — that two of three registrations have no importable authoring-face type — stands and this card is dispatchable. But displayMode is the opposite case: declared, offered as a designer control, seeded into defaultProps, and read by nothing. Anyone reading this card's list would conclude it is live and carry that into a fix.

⛔ This card does not decide displayMode's fate. objectui#7654 owns it and is parked on a maintainer decision. Whichever interface displayMode ends up on, it moves across unchanged.

Also in flight on packages/types: #7684 (data-display.zod.ts), #7662 (kanban), neither touching complex.ts. Read-coupling declared: #7654 is parked on needs-user-decision over ChatbotSchema.displayMode, which lives in complex.ts and will move onto whichever interface this card creates. This card must NOT decide that key's fate.

PM correction 5548764416 CONFIRMED by my own instrument: displayMode has exactly two hits in packages/plugin-chatbot/src (renderer.tsx:504 inputs, :526 defaultProps) and zero reads; nothing contradicts the PM's reading. Shipped the ruled shape — one interface per registration: ChatbotEnhancedSchema and ChatbotFloatingSchema (complex.ts), Zod twins (complex.zod.ts, ComplexSchema union), both barrels, and the two registrations retyped against the published faces. Each face declares only what its registration reads, from a per-key per-registration census with lit controls (script splitting renderer.tsx at the three register calls; processVisibility 0/1/0 and floatingConfig 0/0/1 are the non-shared rows that light the instrument); the twenty keys all three read are picked off ChatbotSchema by name (exported alias ChatbotSharedKey, needed for declaration emit, not re-exported from the entry). enableMarkdown/enableFileUpload/onClear/surface were never on ChatbotSchema and are declared where read; the six ChatbotSchema legacy keys nothing reads are on neither new face. displayMode and floatingConfig MOVED off ChatbotSchema (the chatbot registration has no read, no input, no defaultProps seed for either) onto ChatbotFloatingSchema; displayMode crossed UNCHANGED — original JSDoc verbatim, same type, still unmirrored (born-ledgered on the new pair), with a tripwire test that any value still parses green; nothing retired, tombstoned, mirrored or made live, objectui#7654 stays open. Parity ledger: two pairs registered (160→162), KnownDrift born with three runtime-slot refusals each (40/56→42/62), UnmirroredDeclared 15/96→16/96 (ChatbotSchema 3→1, floating born with displayMode|floatingConfig), all prose counts updated; handler-keys census +6 rows (65 sites/43 slots); the objectui#7669 triggerIcon tripwire retargeted at the floating twin; requestBody mirrored under its own name on the twins (ChatbotSchema's body collision not copied, not ruled on). FENCE EXTENSION DECLARED: packages/types/src/zod/index.zod.ts got two export lines — the Zod barrel is an explicit list, a twin not exported from @object-ui/types/zod is declared-but-unreachable; verified uncontended (open PRs #7684 touch data-display.*, #7662 touches registry.ts; neither barrel). registry.ts deliberately NOT touched (held by #7662) → filed #7704. Test files added/updated in both packages (__tests__ only). ONE CONSEQUENCE IN THE PLUGIN, stated plainly: chatbot-floating wrote disabled={schema.disabled} then spread {...props} AFTER it, and SchemaRenderer.tsx:1584 always includes disabled: verdict||undefined in those props, so the raw read was dead on every render; with disabled honestly typed as BaseSchema's boolean|string it cannot be forwarded into the panel's boolean prop, so the registration now consumes the host verdict (disabled: hostDisabled) like its two siblings — pinned through the real host both ways, no render outcome moves. Docs: floating example is a typed tsx fence (ChatbotFloatingSchema) again plus a typed chatbot-enhanced example; per-face scope notes on both properties tables; all fences compile under check:doc-snippets. Changeset: @object-ui/types minor (accept-set change spelled out), @object-ui/plugin-chatbot patch. PR body read back byte-for-byte identical to what was sent through the last content line (0 tag-shaped tokens eaten, Fixes #7655 intact); the platform appended its own rule line + session-URL footer after mine (+91 bytes, the documented create-time behaviour, not re-posted). PR labels: labeler set package: types, plugin, tests; needs:contract-review union-written via MCP, read back 20 s later via REST as exactly [package: types, plugin, tests, needs:contract-review] — nothing missing, nothing extra. Clause-②: yes; draft, not enqueued. CI status at report time: in_progress (draft just opened; not polled). Observed, NOT carded (PM to say if it deserves one): the chatbot-floating registration reads showTimestamp and the four avatar keys but offers no designer input for them — every registration's inputs list is a curated subset (none offers headers/requestBody/onError), so I found no rule this drifts from.",

⛔ The dispatch fence this PR was built on was STALE, and that is the seat's error, not the dev seat's

The contract review of PR #7705 (comment to follow on that PR) found it first. Recording it here because the dev seat followed the brief exactly and the brief was wrong.

What happened

My claim comment and both dispatch briefs said displayMode was "parked on a maintainer decision" and told the dev to carry it across unchanged because objectui#7654 owned its fate.

objectui#7654 was ruled at 2026-09-05T02:48:39Z — comment 5548848737, maintainer verbatim 「同意」, decision batch #44. Ruling B: retire displayMode — ?: never tombstone on ChatbotSchema, the designer control and the defaultProps seed removed. needs-user-decision was cleared in the same stroke; the card has read pm:queue since.

The first dispatch of this card was killed by a rate limit. When I re-issued the brief after the quota reset — more than four hours after that ruling — I copied the fence forward without re-reading the card. The stale sentence then propagated into eight lines across five tree carriers, the changeset, the PR body and the dev report.

Why it is worse than an ordinary stale read

The ruling cites this seat's own measurement as its ground: "citing discriminator prong 2 (advertised at CHANGELOG.md:578, 3.3.0) exactly as the ui seat's 02:32Z measurement at 5548764449 established."

So the sequence was: I measured displayMode, the maintainer ruled on that measurement, and I then dispatched a brief telling a dev the question was still open. ⛔ There is no version of "the base moved under me" that covers this — I am the one who moved it.

The rule this breaks is the one this seat has been enforcing all day

Every dispatch brief and every review brief issued today carries: ⛔ read the current state of every card and PR you name before writing a tense for it. Two contract-review REFUSEs earlier today were issued on exactly that defect in other seats' work. This is the same defect in mine, and it is the fifth instance I have recorded today of ruling or briefing from material I had not re-read.

⭐ The instruction is not enough on its own. Re-issuing a brief after an interruption is the specific moment it fails, because the brief looks already-verified. Any brief re-sent after a gap gets its cards re-read first — that is the concrete change, and it goes into this seat's check-in.

What this changes for PR #7705

Nothing about the ruled shape (one interface per registration stands, #6169). What changes:

• Every displayMode tense in the tree, the changeset and the PR body must read ruled B, not parked.
• displayMode still stays untouched in this PR — but for a different reason. Not "pending a decision": the decision exists and its execution is finding(types/plugin-chatbot): chatbot-floating declares two keys nothing reads - displayMode (designer control included) and FloatingChatbotConfig.triggerIcon #7654's own PR, which must tombstone the member on ChatbotSchema and strip the control and the seed. This PR must leave that member executable for it.
• Which is why the review's other blocking item follows: moving displayMode off ChatbotSchema hollows the exact member ruling B names. Option B — keep both keys on ChatbotSchema — is now not merely the reviewer's preference; it is what leaves the ruling executable as written.

Remediation dispatched with the corrected fence.
