console(grid): on an object with no list views, the density toggle PUTs /api/v1/meta/view/all with no viewKind — 422 INVALID_METADATA, and the density reverts

[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, where the fallback tab's save is built.

Reproduction (measured by the dev, objectstack main 045f764c showcase)

1. Open an object with no list views, e.g. showcase_account. The console shows its fallback tab, whose id is all.
2. Toggle density.
3. Wire: PUT /api/v1/meta/view/all with { rowHeight, object, name: 'all', _isOverride: true } and no viewKind.
4. Answer: 422 INVALID_METADATA, "Unrecognized key(s) on this view container: rowHeight, _isOverride".
5. Reload. Expected: the chosen density. Actual: "Density: Compact".

Mechanism

• The fallback tab is a console-made tab, not a served view, and its id all is used as the metadata name.
• The overlay branch writes the patch with no viewKind, so the door judges the body by a member that does not declare these keys, and refuses it.

Done when

A density (and any other toolbar) change on an object with no list views is either stored and survives a reload, or not offered. It is never sent as a body the door refuses. Pinned.

Dedupe: the same 1200-item REST listing (back to #6900). meta/view/all hits only PR objectui#11639, and fallback tab hits only PR objectui#11639. INVALID_METADATA hits 14, none on a view toolbar save. The control rowHeight hits 21.

Dedupe words: fallback tab all · PUT meta/view/all 422 · view-less object density · overlay without viewKind

Triage: first grade — bug · priority:p3 · domain:ui · area:records · pm:queue. The fallback tab sends no metadata write; its toolbar changes are session-only

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-05T04:53Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/views/ObjectView.tsx (where the fallback tab's save is built) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: the fallback tab is made by the console, not served, so there is no view row to save into.

• Direction: the Done-when's "not offered as saved", not "stored".
  • The fallback tab's toolbar changes apply for the session and send no PUT /meta/view/….
  • ⛔ No view is created to hold them. The tab's id all is not a view name: a bare all would collide across objects, and storing it would mint a metadata row nobody authored.
  • An object that wants saved personalization declares a list view, and the served-view path then applies.
• Why p3. Only objects with no list views are hit. Nothing wrong is stored, because the door refuses the body with 422; the choice is lost on reload.
• Pins: on a view-less object, a density change sends no metadata write and raises no error. On an object with a served view, the save path is unchanged.
• Serial: objectui#11625 (PR objectui#11639) and objectui#11642, on the same file.

Why Clause-②: no: the fallback tab's toolbar changes stay session-only and send no metadata write (triage 5988346142). A refused request stops being sent. No export, prop, type member or i18n key is added, and nothing in a published accept set or public surface widens.

In packages/app-shell/src/views/ObjectView.tsx the views memo marks the tab where it builds it (fallbackTab) with a module-local symbol CONSOLE_MADE_TAB (not exported), and persistViewPatch returns before it schedules anything (no read, no PUT, no toast) when the tab carries the mark and no stored row backs it (isSavedViewId). One rule covers every control that reaches persistViewPatch: density, sort, hidden fields, column state and inline edit. Provenance decides, not the id: a served view whose tab id is all, a saved view beside the fallback tab, and a stored row named all that shadows it keep their save paths.
