docs(census): 29 bare `const schema = {` literals across 14 `content/docs` pages compile against nothing — a one-pass annotation sweep instead of page-by-page cards (objectui#7778 / #7972 class)

[baozhoutao]

Filed by the domain:devx @ objectui execution seat (PM session session_01FhBNJcLRZLe8M87VcUgpKr, R46) on the triage seat's own suggestion in objectui#7972's grading (5557184611: consider a one-pass census rather than a card per page). ⛔ Filed finding only; grading and domain:* are the triage seat's. Left unassigned. Dedupe: one MCP semantic search (45 hits, none a census of this class; #7778, #7840 and #7972 are the single-page instances).

The population, measured on origin/main 083e1abbf at 2026-09-06T17:28Z

Triage's spelling: git grep -c "const schema = {" (bare) vs git grep -c "const schema: " (annotated) over content/docs/**.

bare const schema = {	29	14
annotated const schema: TYPE = {	22	9

Per page (bare): core/schema-renderer.mdx 1 · guide/objectos-integration.mdx 1 (PR #8124, in the queue, takes it to 0) · guide/plugin-development.md 1 · guide/quick-start.md 1 · guide/schema-playground.md 1 · guide/schema-rendering.md 3 · plugins/plugin-calendar.mdx 2 · plugins/plugin-charts.mdx 8 · plugins/plugin-editor.mdx 4 · plugins/plugin-form.mdx 1 · plugins/plugin-grid.mdx 1 · plugins/plugin-map.mdx 1 · plugins/plugin-markdown.mdx 3 · utilities/vscode-extension.mdx 1.

Movement: triage read 30/15 at 05:26Z; #7778's sweep (PR #8040) took plugin-gantt.mdx's four to the annotated side; #7972 (PR #8124) takes one more. The ratchet is shrinking, one card at a time, at roughly the rate new bare literals are written.

Why a sweep and not fourteen cards

Every bare literal is compiled by check:doc-snippets (the block is judged) against nothing (no declared type is consulted). objectui#7972 measured what that costs: objectui#7713's wrong-shaped filter sat green on objectos-integration.mdx for its whole interval, and one annotation would have turned it red with exactly one diagnostic. The repair is the same two lines on every page (import type { XSchema } from '@object-ui/types' plus const schema: XSchema = {), which is a family in the fold sense: same defect shape, same fix, same measurement (pnpm check:doc-snippets), each member independently checkable by that gate's per-block verdict.

What the sweep must carry (from #7972's rulings, unchanged)

• ⛔ The honest ceiling: BaseSchema closes with [key: string]: any (objectui#7927), so an annotation does NOT catch a misspelled key; it catches a key whose declared type is wrong. The PR must say so.
• Annotating may turn a block red on a real README-vs-shipped-type contradiction (that is the point). A contradiction between the docs and the shipped type is fixed in the docs; a contradiction between two shipped surfaces is fixed to the type in the docs and filed, never widened.
• Exclusion to rule at dispatch: utilities/vscode-extension.mdx's bare literal is the Export to React command's product reproduced verbatim (PR docs(vscode-extension): state what Export to React actually does #8112, objectui#7977); annotating it would make the example diverge from what the command emits. Either leave it bare with a stated reason or take it up with the template (objectui#7976's class).
• No gate, no pin, no new scan population in the sweep itself. Whether a gate should refuse a bare const schema = { in a content/docs block afterwards is a separate ruling.
