docs content: page titles carry no search intent — median 14 characters, 325 of 403 under 20

[os-zhuang]

One-liner

Doc titles are bare feature nouns — Objects, Fields, Actions, Documentation. Median length is 14 characters; 325 of 403 are 20 characters or less. With | ObjectStack appended a typical SERP title is ~30 characters against a ~60-character budget, and the half that is ours carries no term anyone searches for.

Measured

title length:  n=403  median=14  max=50   <=20 chars: 325
e.g.  "Objects" · "Fields" · "Actions as Tools" · "Documentation" · "AI Overview"

Expected

Adopt one rule and apply it: <primary keyword> — <qualifier>, 50–60 characters including the | ObjectStack suffix. The primary keyword is the phrase a developer would type, not our internal noun:

now	shape to aim for
Object Metadata	Object metadata: define objects, fields and relationships
Actions as Tools	Expose actions as MCP tools for AI agents
Documentation	ObjectStack documentation: metadata-driven app framework

⚠️ This is maintainer-voice territory. The PR must open with the rule plus the full 403-row before/after table so the pattern can be judged in one read, and it stays open for maintainer review — do not self-merge it. If the rule is rejected, only the table is thrown away, not per-file work.

Note the Sidebar title and the SEO title do not have to be the same string — check whether content/docs/**/meta.json or the frontmatter can carry a separate short label for navigation before lengthening every sidebar entry.

Acceptance

• one written rule, in the PR body, with the before/after table
• sidebar navigation still reads cleanly (short labels preserved, by whatever mechanism)
• no title exceeds 60 characters including the site suffix
• pnpm check:doc-anchors and the link checker stay green

Found in an SEO review of the docs site (apps/docs) run on 2026-08-25, measured against the local dev server and against production. The canonical origin is https://objectstack.ai — maintainer ruling recorded in #10659:

Held — hard serial on content/docs/**. #12236 is editing the bodies of the same 403 files right now; frontmatter rewrites on top of an unlanded 205-file diff would conflict across the whole tree. Known trap to carry into the dispatch: #12236 is demoting 76 body H1s whose wording differs from the frontmatter title, and its report is asked to name any of those that read better than the title — that list is an input to this card, so read #12236's report before writing the mapping table.
