console(grid): a second toolbar change to a view overwrites the first — every whole-document PUT is built from the page-load row, so density reverts after a sort

[objectstack-fleet]

Filing gate: ① a product defect with a named site and a live reproduction (reach: public door, the console UI). Filed by the objectui domain:ui execution seat 1 (session_015W8GBu6sBiqus2L2xjMsAL) at the review of PR objectui#11639 (Fixes #11625), from the dev's out-of-scope findings. ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading belong to triage. ⛔ Not a claim.

Who acts: triage grades it. A domain:ui seat then fixes it in packages/app-shell/src/views/ObjectView.tsx.

Reproduction (measured by the dev, objectstack main 045f764c showcase; console built from PR objectui#11639's branch)

1. Open showcase_task.in_progress in the console.
2. Toggle density. Wait past the 300 ms save debounce.
3. Sort on the Title header.
4. Wire: the second PUT /api/v1/meta/view/showcase_task.in_progress carries config.sort only. GET reads back config.sort and no rowHeight.
5. Reload. Expected: the new density and the sort. Actual: "Density: Compact", the old density, with the sort kept.

The overlay branch does the same on showcase_task.done: the second PUT { sort, viewKind, object, name, _isOverride } replaces the earlier { rowHeight, … } row.

Mechanism

• persistViewPatch builds every whole-document PUT from the tab as it was when the page loaded (the saved branch of buildPersistedViewBody), or from the pending patch alone (the overlay branch).
• Nothing refreshes either base after a successful write, so each later save drops the earlier one.
• It predates PR objectui#11639 on every row kind. That PR's changeset states it as still open.

Done when

Two toolbar changes to one view in one session both survive a reload. That holds for each row kind (envelope row, flat row, overlay), and it is pinned.

Dedupe: the 1200 most recently updated objectui issues and PRs, open and closed (back to #6900), were listed over REST and grepped locally. persistViewPatch hits 3, and buildPersistedViewBody hits 3: objectui#11625, PR objectui#11639, PR objectui#11593 and PR objectui#11010, none of which is this lost update. lost update hits 0, and overwrites the first hits only PR objectui#11639. The control rowHeight hits 21.

Dedupe words: persistViewPatch lost update · second toolbar change overwrites first · density reverts after sort · whole-document PUT stale base

Path: views to see the data | records-forms.grid-personalization | P2

Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p2 · domain:ui · area:records · pm:queue. Each save is built from the row the last save left, not from the page-load row

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-05T04:51Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/views/ObjectView.tsx (persistViewPatch / buildPersistedViewBody) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: every whole-document PUT starts from a stale base, so the second change silently drops the first.

• Why p2. Same class and grade as objectui#11625. The user's earlier choice is acknowledged and then lost with no error, here after any second toolbar change.
• Direction. After a successful write, the base for the next write is the row that write stored, on every row kind (envelope row, flat row, overlay). Two changes in one session then compose.
  • ⛔ No client-side merge of guessed fields. The base is the stored row.
• Pins: the card's Done-when (two changes to one view both survive a reload), for each row kind.
• Serial: objectui#11625 is in flight on the same function (PR objectui#11639). This card starts after it lands.

Serial constraints cleared: objectui#11625, the triage-named predecessor on the same function, landed as 59917c4 (PR objectui#11639), read 2026-10-05T05:41Z. The open objectui PRs (#11641 plugin-detail, possibly app-shell RecordDetailView.tsx and metadata-admin/ in its patch round; #11644 packages/components; #11069 packages/cli; #11600 the release PR) touch no ObjectView.tsx. The in-flight objectui#11626 declares packages/layout and UnifiedSidebar.tsx.

Why Clause-②: no: persistViewPatch is internal, and buildPersistedViewBody is not exported from the @object-ui/app-shell entry. The fix changes which row the next save starts from, so nothing in the published accept set or public surface widens. The dispatch fences any new export, prop, type member or i18n key: a route that needs one stops and reports.

A saved view (envelope or flat row) places the patch on that row; an overlay joins its stored owned keys (VIEW_OVERLAY_OWNED_KEYS, as loadViewOverrides narrows a marked overlay) with the patch while the tab still supplies viewKind only, so no source key is frozen (objectui#5233 kept). Writes to one view are chained so a write never reads the row from before the previous write; the 300 ms debounce still coalesces changes inside it into one write. Measured live on objectstack main a3ffc451 (showcase): before, density then a header sort kept only the sort on the envelope, flat and overlay rows; after, both survive a reload on all three, and the debounced pair is one PUT carrying both.

ACCEPT: PR objectui#11646, head 5af8b90. It lands when every check on this head is green

domain:ui execution seat 1 @ objectui · session_015W8GBu6sBiqus2L2xjMsAL (os-steve) · 2026-10-05T07:36Z. Reviewed against GitHub and origin/main, not against the report's prose (report 5990133081).

• Shape. The PR is a draft against main, and its assignee is os-steve. Its first line is Fixes #11642, the only line with a closing keyword next to an issue number. Clause-②: no is on its own line. Against main the diff is 3 files, +571/−32, inside the claim's surface: ObjectView.tsx, one pin file and the changeset.
• The base is the stored row, as ruled, and it is not guessed. The dev measured that the PUT answer carries no row and that the door drops undeclared keys, so the body sent is not the stored row. Each toolbar save therefore reads the stored row when it runs, through the same loadViewOverrides list read the page load uses. Saves to one view are chained, so an in-flight save is never read past. An overlay joins its stored owned keys (VIEW_OVERLAY_OWNED_KEYS) with the patch, so objectui#5233's no-frozen-copy rule holds. The 300 ms debounce still coalesces.
• objectui#11625's pins are untouched and green. densityInsideConfig-11625 and overlayPatchOnly both pass at this head, and ablation A left them green.
• Tests. The new pin mounts the real object page over the real adapter, on a store that judges each PUT with ViewMetadataSchema. It covers the Done-when per row kind (envelope, flat, overlay), debounce coalescing, and a save landing mid-flight. Ablation A (the pre-fix base) turns the 3 row-kind cases and the in-flight case red. Ablation B (no chain) turns only the in-flight case red. The whole app-shell suite is green (1003 files). The writeRefusalCensus-11583 ledger was kept intact, caught and fixed on the way.
• Live, both directions (objectstack main a3ffc451). Before: density then a header sort kept only the sort, on the envelope, flat and overlay rows. After: both survive a reload on all three, and two changes 100 ms apart are one PUT carrying both.
• Consequences beyond the card, stated in the PR body, accepted.
  • The first toolbar save now starts from the stored row, not the page-load tab, so it no longer stamps the tab's isDefault onto the row.
  • In ?preview=draft, a toolbar save no longer builds the row from a draft-merged tab. That is NOT MEASURED live; it is the direction the ruling's "the base is the stored row" implies.
• Changeset, sentence by sentence. It is @object-ui/app-shell: patch. The mechanism, the source of the stored row, the overlay rule, the chaining and the debounce sentences all match the diff. The Clause-②: no line is true.

Left as noted, not filed: a flat _isOverride overlay reached by a direct PUT shadows the served view's filter. It is the same finding as at PR objectui#11639's review: still no console reach from a clean state. Also, updateViewConfig's doc promises a returned item the door never sends; its one caller ignores it.

Landing: on all-green checks on this head, ready, then auto-merge into the merge queue. objectui#11643 is held serially behind this card (same save path) and is dispatched once this lands.
