ui: a page element that renders a table of rows from a page api binding (columns, every row, locale headings), so a console page can list what a GET door answers #31856

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

repo:cloud#2 · os-warren · session_01JQwxbWTyRFQwYN1hZXbCHL

Filing gate: ① a measured gap with a consumer. The cloud#4073 card thread (the AI workforce console page, cloud#3820 item 1) measured that at pin 9e1f1f90 no page element renders rows from a page api binding. Its full measurement is at pm-orders/cloud/seat2/measure-4073.md. Cloud is shipping a capped stopgap (N element:text rows over data.actors[i]) and needs this element to replace it.

Dedupe: no objectstack issue names a table or list element over ElementApiDataSource. #26703 (the list-view block's inspector) is a different block.

What exists at the pin

  • The page api binding drives only stat, usage-bar, checklist and tile-grid (ui/packages/app-shell/src/console/blocks/productBlocks.tsx:376-418).
  • The view api provider was retired in spec 18 (spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts:200).
  • These were checked and ruled out:
    • element:repeater takes only an object binding.
    • element:definition-list validates its items as an array in the spec and refuses a hole.
    • A bare table has a plain-string header, flat accessorKey and raw cells.

What done looks like

  1. A spec row for one element. It renders an array from the page's api data source as a table. The columns are declared in metadata: field path, a header as a 4-locale map, and a format of text, datetime (in the viewer's time zone) or enum label map. It shows every row the door answers, and an empty state.
  2. An objectui renderer, with tests for column order, datetime in the viewer's time zone, enum labels, the empty state and a missing field.
  3. Cloud can then replace the stopgap rows on the AI workforce page (cloud#4073) and use the element on the AI call trace page (cloud#4058).

    Seat: domain:ui#3
    File surface (this round): none until the seat's acceptance. The expected build surface is ui/packages/app-shell/src/console/blocks/productBlocks.tsx (or a sibling block file), its tests, @object-ui/i18n keys if any, the SDUI manifest/digest, and the docs page that lists the api-bound blocks. ⛔ No packages/spec/** on this card. If step 1 finds a spec shape is needed, the seat files a spec child and this card waits on it.
    Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default tier (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate), effort: default
    Clause-②: no (step 1 writes no code; the build's own declaration is set at acceptance)
    Metadata-protocol: expected none if this is a kebab registered block like tile-grid; to be confirmed at step 1
    Responsibility: a console page in objectstack cannot list the rows a GET door answers as a table | the platform path is the page api binding (ElementApiDataSourceSchema) and the app-shell product blocks (productBlocks.tsx), which draw a stat, a bar, a checklist and tiles but no rows | the cloud lane's AI workforce and AI call trace pages (cloud#4073, cloud#4058), which show capped element:text rows as a stopgap
    Thread-read: 6735057701
    Premise: holds at 31ae944b4. The api-bound blocks are stat, usage-bar, checklist and tile-grid (productBlocks.tsx:376-418), and none draws rows.
    Serial constraints cleared: the seat's other cards in build touch no product block. These are #30239 PR 2 (Setup page and locales), #31462 (marketplace, its facet held) and #31520.

    Scope: step 1 first, a short report: where the element lives, its inputs, datetime handling, declarations, surface. The build follows in the same thread on the seat's acceptance. Brief: /mnt/project-files/issue-31856/brief.md.

    Step 1: a table of rows from a page api binding (no code written)

    Tree: origin/main 1ff1d45d. Line numbers are at that commit. Nothing was edited, committed or pushed.

    Headline. No packages/spec/** change is needed. The element can be a sixth app-shell product block, row-table, registered beside tile-grid with the same API_BINDING_INPUT and a strict @object-ui/types arm. The SDUI manifest does not move. One trade-off goes to the seat (Q1 below): like every product block, its properties are judged by objectui validate / safeValidateSchema (the strict arm), not by os validate.

    1. Where it lives: kebab block row-table, no spec edit

    • Parse. PageComponentSchema.type is z.union([PageComponentType, z.string()]) (packages/spec/src/ui/page.zod.ts:621-640). The string arm refuses only RETIRED_PAGE_COMPONENT_TYPES by name.
    • Vocabulary rule. component-type-unknown claims only colon namespaces the enum populates (packages/spec/src/ui/component-type-vocabulary.ts:76, :120-127). row-table has no colon, so it is outside the claim, as tile-grid is.
    • Binding. dataSource is the spec's ElementApiDataSourceSchema (page.zod.ts:520-575). The types arm reads it by reference, as product-blocks.zod.ts already does (apiBinding()).
    • Manifest. gen-sdui-manifest-node.mjs:119-134 imports 16 registry modules, and @object-ui/app-shell is not one of them. tile-grid is absent from sdui.manifest.json (106 components). So the manifest and its record stay byte-identical. node scripts/check-sdui-manifest.mjs exits 0 at 1ff1d45d.
    • Name. table and data-table are taken (ui namespace). row-table is free (git grep row-table = 0). It is named for what it draws (ADR-0060 rule 2).
    • Ruled out, confirmed:
      • element:repeater queries an object through dataSource.object and has no header row (packages/spec/src/ui/component.zod.ts:4733-4775).
      • element:definition-list items is z.array(...), so a hole is refused, and term is a plain string (component.zod.ts:4629-4645).
      • table and data-table take a plain-string header, a flat accessorKey and raw cells (sdui.manifest.json table; components/.../data-table.tsx:4522-4545). data-table is also a paged, editable grid with no api input.

    2. Inputs, and what is drawn or refused

    Input Shape Arm (validate time)
    rows (required) a literal array of objects, or one whole ${…} hole naming an array in data, as tile-grid's items strict union, using expressionHole
    columns (required, at least 1) { path, label, format?, enum? }, drawn in authored order strict object per column
    emptyLabel a string or an inline locale map I18nLabelSchema by reference
    • Column vocabulary reuses resultDialog.fields (packages/spec/src/ui/action.zod.ts:1700-1708): path, label and format, with text shared. I propose label, not the card's header, so one vocabulary is kept (Q2). datetime and enum are this block's own members.
    • path uses the binding's own path grammar (dotted segments, a numeric segment indexes an array). It is read per row with selectElementApiPath (@object-ui/react, useElementApiDataSource.ts:137), which already tells "absent" apart from a present value.
    • enum is a { value: label } map, where each label is a string or a locale map. The arm requires it when format: 'enum' and refuses it otherwise.
    • Every row is drawn. There is no cap and no pagination, as the card asks.
    Case Drawn
    a field the row lacks, or null or '' — in that cell (the stat convention)
    text with a string, number or boolean as written
    text with an object or array compact JSON (the definition-list convention)
    enum with a value the map lacks the raw value (it is server data, not an authoring error)
    datetime that does not parse — (what formatDateTime returns)
    rows is [] emptyLabel, else the existing table.noRows ("No rows to display"). No new i18n key.
    rows resolves to a non-array (object, string, nothing) not the empty state, so a wrong hole is loud: the existing ElementApiDataSourcePanel state="error" (title key element.component.apiUnreadable, already in all ten packs), with a technical sentence naming the hole and what it resolved to, as the binding's own read failures do
    unknown format, enum format with no map, column with no path refused by the strict arm at validate time; at render, the same error panel naming columns[i], never a silent fallback

    The binding's loading and error states stay SchemaRenderer's, so the block renders only once data is in.

    3. Datetime

    formatDateTime(value, { locale: useDisplayLocale(), style: 'compact' }) from @object-ui/core (ui/packages/core/src/utils/date-display.ts:703). This is the one date-display path behind the datetime field cell (DateTimeCellRenderer, fields/src/index.tsx:1362). The instant renders in the display zone the host declared (setDisplayTimeZone), else the viewer's own zone. The test pins the zone through setDisplayTimeZone.

    4. Declarations (proposed; the seat sets them)

    5. Surface and size

    The claim's expected surface names only productBlocks.tsx, its tests, i18n and docs. The #31084 precedent shows that a registered block also owes its types arm and the cli ratchet, so the surface below is wider:

    1. ui/packages/app-shell/src/console/blocks/productBlocks.tsx: RowTableBlock and its registration (~130 lines), plus header comment and index.ts comment.
    2. ui/packages/app-shell/src/console/blocks/__tests__/rowTable-31856.test.tsx (new, ~170 lines): column order, datetime in a pinned zone, enum labels, the empty state, a missing field, a non-array hole, and an unknown format.
    3. ui/packages/types/src/{product-blocks.ts,zod/product-blocks.zod.ts,index.ts,zod/index.zod.ts}: the arm, its TS twin, the union member and exports (~100 lines). Also __tests__/product-block-arms-12197.test.ts (+1 row) and the mirror-parity count and emit-headroom pins the arm moves.
    4. ui/packages/cli/src/utils/known-schema-types.ts (regenerated, +2 lines) and __tests__/registered-types-validate-ratchet-10859.test.ts (+1 row). The block lists in the two productBlocks-namespace-13301 tests (app-shell and cli) get row-table added.
    5. Docs: content/docs/ui/pages.mdx:402, content/docs/frontend/data-source.mdx:327, and the ui/packages/app-shell/README.md block table (+1 row each, plus a short example).
    6. .changeset/31856-row-table-block.md.

    No packages/spec/**, no i18n key, no manifest move. Estimate: about 550-650 lines, of which about 300 are tests. Size M, default tier (no path-derived mandate).

    Questions for the seat

    • Q1. Kebab block (recommended) or a spec child. A spec element would get os validate refusals for a bad column through a ComponentPropsMap row. As a kebab block, it gets the strict arm at objectui validate, the same posture tile-grid and stat have today. On the four axes:
      • Need: both serve cloud#4073 and cloud#4058.
      • Long-term: the kebab block keeps the api-bound family together in one place.
      • AI error: the spec row is stricter at os validate.
      • Startup focus: the kebab block is one card, with no spec child or contract review to wait on.
        I recommend the kebab block. If the seat wants os validate coverage, it should cover the whole product-block family, not this one block.
    • Q2. Column heading key label (as resultDialog.fields) or the card's header.
    • Q3. Metadata-protocol: added (recommended) or none.
    • Surface amendment: items 3 and 4 are outside the claim's expected surface.

    Claim amendment · step 1 accepted · build · 2026-11-09T08:20Z

    This amends claim 6735378177 on #31856, after the dev's step-1 report 6735450873. The premise holds at 1ff1d45d.

    • Q1: a kebab block, row-table. No spec child. The type parses through the open string arm, component-type-unknown claims only colon namespaces, and the api binding is the spec's own schema, read by reference. os validate coverage for product-block props is a family question, not this card's. If the cloud lane wants it, it is one card for all six blocks.
    • Q2: label. The column grammar reuses resultDialog.fields' path / label / format, with text shared and datetime and enum as this block's own members. The card's word "header" is prose, not a key.
    • Q3: Metadata-protocol: added. A page author can now write a new type with keys that a strict arm judges. That is "a change to what a metadata author can write" (pm-dispatch SKILL.md, the Metadata-protocol line), even though feat(console): revoke an authorized AI assistant from Connect an Agent, and an admin widget for a person's assistants #31084 and feat(console): the user page's Permission Sets tab shows the person's effective permission sets and where each comes from #31370 declared none for prop-less widgets. Consequences:
      • The changeset is minor on @object-ui/types and patch elsewhere, as the fixed group requires.
      • The PR body carries a third line: Skills-docs: none — skills/ teaches no product block (git grep tile-grid|usage-bar skills/ = 0).
    • Clause-②: yes (widening).
    • Behaviour accepted as reported:
      • Every row is drawn.
      • A missing field, null or '' draws —. An enum value the map lacks draws raw.
      • A rows hole that resolves to a non-array, or a bad column, draws the ElementApiDataSourcePanel error, never the empty state.
      • The empty state is emptyLabel, else table.noRows, with no new i18n key.
      • Datetime goes through formatDateTime(…, { locale: useDisplayLocale(), style: 'compact' }).
    • Surface amended. It is items 1–6 of the report:
      • productBlocks.tsx and the block's test;
      • the @object-ui/types arm, its TS twin, the exports and the pins it moves (product-block-arms-12197, mirror parity, emit headroom);
      • ui/packages/cli/src/utils/known-schema-types.ts (regenerated), the 10859 ratchet row and both productBlocks-namespace-13301 lists;
      • the docs (content/docs/ui/pages.mdx, content/docs/frontend/data-source.mdx, the app-shell README table);
      • the changeset.
        Anything else stops and asks.
    • Tests at build: the report's seven cases, the whole @object-ui/types and @object-ui/cli test packages, and the app-shell console/ and blocks/ directories, all run by hand, because the derived gate loop runs no ui vitest. Run the ui/scripts censuses (check:spec-symbols included) before the push. One ablation: the non-array guard → the empty state turns its pin red.
    • PR: Fixes #31856, draft. The cloud consumers (cloud#4073, cloud#4058) are named in Acceptance notes. A declaration review is owed on the final head.

    ACCEPT → PR #31883 comment 6736890524 · 2026-11-09T09:41Z · head 5e6d804d. The PR adds the row-table app-shell product block, which lists the rows a page api binding answers as a table, and its strict @object-ui/types arm. It is 596 lines, not governed, and Fixes #31856. Declaration review PASS 6736580074. It lands through the merge queue. For cloud#4073 and cloud#4058: write { type: 'row-table', dataSource: { provider: 'api', read: { url }, path? }, properties: { rows: '${data.actors}', columns: [{ path, label, format?, enum? }], emptyLabel? } } once the PR merges.

    #31856 closed (completed) by Fixes #31856; pm:dispatched removed

    Delivered: the row-table app-shell product block lists the rows a page api binding answers, as a table.

    • columns are { path, label, format: text | datetime | enum, enum? }.
    • Every row is drawn.
    • Datetime cells show in the viewer's display locale and zone.
    • An empty list reads emptyLabel (else "No rows to display").
    • A rows hole that is not a list draws the binding's error face.
    • Its strict @object-ui/types arm judges the props at objectui validate.

    Consumer: the cloud lane can now replace the stopgap element:text rows on cloud#4073 and draw cloud#4058 with this block (the authoring shape is in 6736913655).
