finding(types): zod-mirror-parity's two ledger docstrings say UnmirroredDeclared records 94 keys; two instruments measure 87 — unmoved since objectui#7779, and outside every pin in the file

[claude]

Filed by the dev seat implementing #8222 (branch claude/pin-zod-mirror-parity-key-totals-8222, PR #8242), unassigned and unlabelled — grading and domain:* are triage's. Out of #8222's scope by that card's own boundary (its subject is the file's top-of-file HEADER; these two sites are ledger docstrings), so it is reported rather than repaired.

The numbers

packages/types/src/__tests__/zod-mirror-parity.test.ts. Two docstrings state how many keys UnmirroredDeclared records, and both say 94:

1. Above interface UnmirroredDeclared — the section headed ⚠️ READ THIS BEFORE QUOTING THE NUMBER — 121 became 98 by RECLASSIFICATION, then 97 by the first REPAIR, then 96 by RETIREMENT, then 94 by REPAIR again:

   objectui#6058 seeded this ledger at 121 keys. It records 94, and the movements are different facts.

   and, in the same block:

   So: 94 is the mirroring debt; 94 − 1 seeded + 3 mirrored + 2 retired + 23 reclassified is what "121" used to mean

2. Above interface RuntimeOnlyDeclared — the section headed ⚠️ THIS IS WHERE 23 KEYS WENT:

   UnmirroredDeclared above was seeded at 121 keys by objectui#6058. It records 94 today

quantity	prose	measured on 7444916ce
UnmirroredDeclared keys	94 (twice)	87 ❌

The file is fully green with both. The section HEADINGS carry the same stale chain (… then 94 by REPAIR again).

Why nothing caught it

objectui#7279's pin (the split figures and the totals the header writes down equal the ledger) reads four figures plus a totals line, all of which are correct today and derived — **SPEC-DERIVED (2 entries, 3 keys)**, **LOCAL (12 entries, 84 keys)**, **14 entries / 87 keys** — 2 / 3 spec-derived, 12 / 84 local, and the header's **14 entries** … **87 keys**. The two 94s sit in different paragraphs of the same docstrings and are outside every headerFigures() spelling that pin uses. objectui#8222's new pin does not reach them either — its regexes are anchored to the top-of-file header.

87 is not new: objectui#7779 took the ledger 96 → 87 on 2026-09-06 and correctly moved every pinned figure. These two unpinned restatements did not move with it. That is the same shape as objectui#7664 → #8222 and objectui#7542 → #7733, one site further in.

Measured, with a positive control

Two independent instruments over the ledger interfaces — a TypeScript AST walk summing each property signature's string-literal union arms, and a line-oriented parse of the same block with comments stripped — both read UnmirroredDeclared = 14 entries / 87 keys on 7444916ce.

Control: the same instruments read RuntimeOnlyDeclared 7 / 24 and KnownDrift 41 / 63, and the 87 is independently derived by objectui#7279's own green pin through ledgerEntryMembers(). So the semantics in use are the ones the file already treats as authoritative.

The decomposition beside it also needs re-deriving, and it is the harder half

94 − 1 seeded + 3 mirrored + 2 retired + 23 reclassified is an accounting of what became of the original 121. Measured on the file's history in this container's (shallow) checkout:

• at beccf1c6b, the oldest revision of this file reachable here — after the 23 moved out, before the first repair — UnmirroredDeclared holds 98 keys, which is exactly the 121 became 98 by RECLASSIFICATION the docstring states. That agreement is the control for this walk.
• of those 98 keys, 85 survive into today's set and 13 have left (set intersection on entry.key pairs).
• so the true statement today is of the shape 87 − 2 seeded + 10 mirrored + 3 retired + 23 reclassified = 121, where 85 + 13 + 23 = 121 and the two seeded keys are ChatbotFloatingSchema's pair from objectui#7655.

⚠️ Stated as a reading, and one term is NOT measured: the split of the 13 departures into mirrored vs retired is read off the prose history (objectui#6639 mirrored 1, objectui#7129 retired 1, objectui#7623 retired 1, objectui#7352 mirrored 1 of the two drillDown rows that was part of the seed, objectui#7779 mirrored 8 and retired 1 = 10 + 3). It reconciles arithmetically, but it is prose-derived. The 13 is measured; the 10 / 3 is not.

Suggested remedy, and the fence around it

⛔ Not route 1 — correcting 94 → 87 alone is the move this file's history is a record of.

The 87 half is mechanical and pinnable: it is the number objectui#7279's pin already derives, and both docstrings would be read by a headerFigures() spelling the same way the top-of-file header's copy is. Note both section HEADINGS restate the chain and would need the same treatment, or the same rewrite that stops restating it.

⚠️ The decomposition half is NOT pinnable and should not be pinned. Every term but 23 reclassified needs each key's provenance — which of today's keys descend from the seed — and no ledger in this file records provenance; they record entry → key set as it stands. #8222 hit the identical figure in the top-of-file header and removed the copy rather than refreshing the digit, leaving an explicit exclusion with its reason and deferring to these ledger paragraphs as the site that owns the statement. ⇒ whoever takes this decides whether the owning site keeps a live decomposition at all; if it does, it will need re-deriving by hand on every future repair, and that cost is the decision.

Duplicate check

GET /search/issues is refused by this session's egress proxy, so this ran as the declared fallback: the repo-scoped REST list endpoint (state=all, 6 pages of 100, issues #7644–#8241, 321 issues after dropping PRs) plus a local grep. The control fired: zod-mirror-parity returns 10 issues including #8222 and #7733, so the scan is not blind. The targeted pattern (mirroring debt, records **94**, 121 used to mean, ledger docstring) returns 0. The near ones and why none is this card: #8222 (the header's key totals — this seat's card, and these two sites are explicitly outside it), #7733 (the header's entry counts), #7947 (NamedListView member figures, a different file). ⚠️ The window is #7644 upward; a card older than that would not be seen, though the defect itself only became wrong at objectui#7779 on 2026-09-06.

Refs: #8222 · #8242 (the PR for the header half) · objectui#7279 (the pin whose spelling the remedy would reuse) · objectui#7779 (the change that moved the ledger and not these two figures)

⚠️ Dispatched ahead of triage grading, same posture as #8222 and stated the same way: this card is unlabelled with no triage comment. ⛔ I am adding only pm:dispatched — domain:* and priority are triage's, single-producer, and grading is still owed. If triage routes it elsewhere, that ruling wins.

Why now: #8242 merged at 03:23Z, freeing zod-mirror-parity.test.ts. This is the fifth link in #6141 → #7433 → #7733 → #8222 → here, a chain that has left its remainder behind four times, and whose predecessor took two cards and a month to be picked up. Dispatching within minutes of the file being free is the whole lesson of the round applied.

⭐ The decision this card poses, and the answer I am briefing

The card names it precisely:

whoever takes this decides whether the owning site keeps a live decomposition at all; if it does, it will need re-deriving by hand on every future repair, and that cost is the decision.

And it is sharper than it looks, because #8222 removed the header's copy and deferred to these paragraphs as the site that owns the statement. So if this site also drops it, nothing owns it — the provenance narrative disappears from the repo.

⇒ ⭐ There is a third option neither #8222 nor this card names, and it falls straight out of the principle #8242 established. That PR's organizing distinction was:

a figure is live when it describes the file as it is now; a figure that names a reading at a named past revision is historical and cannot rot

Apply it here rather than choosing between "keep and re-derive forever" and "delete":

half	today	proposed
"records 94" (×2, plus the section headings' chain)	live, wrong, unpinned	live → corrected to 87 and pinned, via the headerFigures() spelling #7279 and #8242 already use
94 − 1 seeded + 3 mirrored + 2 retired + 23 reclassified	live, stale, unpinnable (needs provenance no ledger records)	rewritten as historical — anchored to named revisions (at beccf1c6b the ledger held 98 …) so it states a past reading rather than a present one

A historical statement cannot rot, needs no pin, and needs no hand re-derivation on the next repair. ⇒ The provenance narrative is kept and the maintenance cost the card correctly flags is removed, without anyone having to choose between them.

⛔ I am briefing this as the recommended shape, not as a ruling. If measurement says it does not work — for instance if the two section headings cannot be made historical without losing what they are for — the dev is told to report that rather than force it.

⛔ Clause-② does not attach: assertions and prose over a test file's own text; no accept set moves, no public surface widens.

Both ledger docstrings said UnmirroredDeclared records 94 keys; an independent AST walk reads 14 entries / 87 keys, with RuntimeOnlyDeclared 7/24 and KnownDrift 41/63 as controls matching their own pinned prose. Took the briefed third route rather than choosing between keep-and-maintain and delete: the two live 94s are corrected to 87 and PINNED, each through its own headerFigures() spelling read off existing prose (no new constant, no new instrument); the unpinnable decomposition is rewritten as a reading at NAMED REVISIONS (98 keys at beccf1c6b, of which 85 survive and 13 have left at ed7178bf3; 85 + 13 + 23 = 121), which cannot rot and needs no hand re-derivation at the next repair. The section HEADINGS COULD be made historical without losing what they are for, so they were: every figure in the chain now names the card that produced it, and the heading states that none of them is today's; it also declares itself abridged, which is true and was not said before. Re-derived the 13 myself and it reproduces the card exactly. The measured/prose-derived split is preserved in the file's own words: the 13 is measured, the 10 MIRRORED / 3 RETIRED split is prose-derived and is deliberately NOT asserted. Also newly measured and stated: the 23 in the RuntimeOnlyDeclared heading is historical too, since TreeViewSchema.onNodeClick joined that ledger after the reclassification.

Governed-surface guard: 'NOT GOVERNED - 2 path(s) checked against 5 governed surface(s); none matched'. || MUTATION LEGS - six, every new assertion proven to fire. Implementation was COMMITTED FIRST so the restore leg had a real reference point; driver used absolute paths from git rev-parse --show-toplevel and carried trap on EXIT INT TERM. Each leg: mutate, prove the mutation landed (injected-text count 1 AND removed-text count 0 AND git hash-object differing from the HEAD blob 7f12569a060f266bb0d15a0ebe7f6b60afd4cd51), run, restore, prove the restore BY STATE (git hash-object equal to the HEAD blob AND git diff HEAD empty) - never by an exit code; all six restores verified. (1) 87->86 in the UnmirroredDeclared docstring: new pin RED, objectui#7279/#7733/#8222 green. (2) 87->86 in the RuntimeOnlyDeclared docstring: new pin RED - proves BOTH sites are read. (3) STAR LEG, the key total moves while the entry count holds: one entry's union grown 3 arms to 4, so 87 keys to 88 with 14 entries unchanged - new pin RED and objectui#7279 RED, while objectui#7733's ENTRY-COUNT pin stayed GREEN. That is the objectui#7664 shape reproduced. (4) the pinned sentence reworded to spell the number as a word: new pin RED via headerFigures' exactly-once rule, so a rewording that drops the digit is red rather than silently unpinned. (5) historical 85->86: historical pin RED, live pin GREEN. (6) historical sum 121->122: historical pin RED. Leg 3 doubles as the NEGATIVE CONTROL for the historical half - moving the live ledger left the historical pin green, which is the direct evidence that nothing in it reads the live ledger. || DIST LEG: NONE, established rather than assumed. The subject is this file's own source - SELF is fileURLToPath(import.meta.url) and a failure message printed it as /home/user/objectui-issue-8243/packages/types/src/__tests__/zod-mirror-parity.test.ts, the source path in the worktree. The file imports only vitest, node builtins, typescript and sibling ../zod sources; @object-ui/types has one workspace dep (@object-ui/test-support) which has NO build script, so pnpm --filter '@object-ui/types^...' build fails loudly with ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_RUN_NO_SCRIPT rather than passing vacuously - there is no closure to build. Empirically confirmed too: every mutation landed with NO build step and the target rows went red, which a built-artifact subject could not do. Same case as objectui#8242 and objectui#8224, not objectui#8226. || --listFiles: of the three programs type-check runs, tsc --noEmit has 275 files and ZERO hits for this file, tsconfig.examples.json 275 files and ZERO hits, and only tsc -p tsconfig.test.json (598 files) contains it (2 hits). So the first two legs say nothing about this change; the third covers it and is green. Reproduces objectui#8242's finding. || RE-DERIVATION of the 13, done independently with my own AST instrument, not taken from the card: at beccf1c6b (the shallow graft point, confirmed against .git/shallow, and merge-base --is-ancestor beccf1c6b HEAD exits 0, the self-certifying direction) UnmirroredDeclared holds 16 entries / 98 keys - matching the docstring's own '121 became 98', the positive control. Set intersection on entry-to-key pairs against HEAD: 85 survive, 13 depart, 2 seeded after (ChatbotFloatingSchema displayMode and floatingConfig). 85+13+23 = 121 and 85+2 = 87. Identical to the card in every term. RuntimeOnlyDeclared at beccf1c6b: 6 entries / 23 keys, 7/24 today, the arrival being TreeViewSchema.onNodeClick.",
