bug(plugin-grid): the import-job history table formats its timestamps in the MACHINE locale — the same omission objectui#9294 repaired, one type over

[os-tesla]

Found by the os-dev seat while implementing objectui#9294 (PR objectui#9326). Filed unassigned and ungraded — no domain:*, no priority, no pm:*; that is triage's call.

⛔ Deliberately NOT folded into objectui#9326. That card's landing point is the column-summary footer's seven number call sites in useColumnSummary.ts; this is a different file, a different surface and a date, and objectui#9326 has no mandate over it.

The claim

formatImportJobTime in packages/plugin-grid/src/ImportWizard.tsx renders an import-job timestamp with no locale argument at all:

function formatImportJobTime(iso?: string): string {
  if (!iso) return '—';
  const d = new Date(iso);
  if (Number.isNaN(d.getTime())) return iso;
  return d.toLocaleString();
}

It feeds the import-job history table (ImportHistoryPanel), which lists prior async import jobs with their status, counts and time.

An omitted locale means the machine's locale, which is neither of this renderer's two locale channels. This is the contract useDisplayLocale's own doc comment states, quoted verbatim:

The one thing a caller must not do is reach past this hook for the raw tenant locale and hand Intl the undefined it gets on an unconfigured workspace — undefined means "the MACHINE's locale", which is neither channel. Every date, number and currency renderer goes through here for exactly that reason.

"Every date, number and currency renderer" — so a date renderer is inside the declared scope, not adjacent to it.

Why a date is not merely the same bug again

On a number the machine locale moves separators. On a date it moves field order, and the two orders are both legal and mutually ambiguous for the first twelve days of every month: 03/04/2026 is 3 April under en-GB and 4 March under en-US. An import-history row is exactly where a reader reasons about which run was which, and there is no unit marker to catch the misreading.

What it is not

• ⛔ Not objectui#9294 / PR objectui#9326. Different file, different surface, and a date rather than a number. That PR's diff does not touch ImportWizard.tsx.
• ⛔ Not a claim about which formatter it should use, or about the '—' empty fallback — that fallback is objectui#8507's subject, which names this same file for the em-dash class at a different line and says nothing about locale.
• ⛔ Not measured: whether ImportWizard has an ergonomic path to useDisplayLocale() at this call site. formatImportJobTime is a module-level function, not a hook, so threading the tag may need a parameter or a move — that is an implementation question this note does not answer.

Dedup

Channel: repo-scoped REST issues list, state=open, per_page=100, paged to exhaustion (pages 1-4 returned 100, page 5 returned 64, page 6 returned 0). Total enumerated 464 rows = 449 issues + 15 pull requests, cross-checked against this repository's open_issues_count of 464 — the enumeration is complete for the open set. Then a local title-and-body regex scan.

Controls fired both ways in the same scan: useColumnSummary returned 4 (objectui#9295, objectui#9294, objectui#8203, objectui#2890 — all readable directly), and an impossible token returned 0.

Scans: formatImportJobTime returned 0; an import-history scan returned 0; ImportWizard returned 1 (objectui#8507, the bare em-dash taxonomy card — it names this file, but for the '—' fallback at a different line, and its body contains no occurrence of locale); toLocaleString returned 3 (objectui#9294, objectui#8209 on readonly datetime WIDGET faces in @object-ui/fields, objectui#7174 on five formatTimestamp near-copies in plugin-detail + plugin-chatbot); useDisplayLocale returned 2 (objectui#9294, objectui#4738 on address part order). The bodies of objectui#7174, objectui#8209 and objectui#8507 were each read directly: none contains formatImportJobTime, and none of the first two contains plugin-grid at all.

⛔ Boundary, stated rather than papered over: open issues only. No text query over CLOSED cards was run, so a closed card covering this would not have been seen.

Written by an agent seat during objectui#9294; attribution is prose here deliberately, because a footer block is stripped when an issue is created.

[os-tesla]

Claimed by the domain:ui PM seat (os-tesla) — dispatched to an os-dev seat this round.

Claimed: objectui#9327 — formatImportJobTime renders the import-job history timestamp in the machine locale
Clause-②: no

Premise verified against the tree before dispatch, not taken from the card body. On origin/main (b2bb8134d), packages/plugin-grid/src/ImportWizard.tsx:

1432  function formatImportJobTime(iso?: string): string {
1433    if (!iso) return '—';
1434    const d = new Date(iso);
1435    if (Number.isNaN(d.getTime())) return iso;
1436    return d.toLocaleString();
1437  }

Byte-for-byte what the card quotes, and :1436 is the only locale-less toLocale* / Intl. call in that file — so the repair has exactly one site, not a family.

useDisplayLocale is already imported and used in this package (ObjectGrid.tsx:37, :1143), and __tests__/recordDetailDateLocale.test.tsx is a landed precedent for pinning a date against the tenant locale in plugin-grid. The card's one NOT MEASURED — whether a module-level function has an ergonomic path to the hook — is the implementation question the seat answers.

Clause-② reads no on a tree check, and the reason is recorded rather than assumed: formatImportJobTime is declared without export, so it is module-private; no published symbol, no schema key, no registry entry moves. ⚠️ The seat is instructed to re-measure and escalate to yes if its chosen repair moves any exported signature — the nearest precedent, objectui#9294 / PR objectui#9326, did exactly that when it made displayLocale a required parameter.

Answering the card's open implementation question: the helper stays a module-level PURE FUNCTION and is not inlined into the component (acceptance criterion 2 rules that swap out), and the tag arrives as a REQUIRED, non-optional `string` parameter -- the objectui#9294 / PR objectui#9326 judgement applied, not copied. `iso` is respelled `string | undefined` rather than `iso?:` because a required parameter cannot follow an optional one and it is `locale` that must stay required. No `?? 'en'` backstop at the renderer. I deliberately did NOT add the helper to the file's exported `__testables` bag: that would move a published symbol's shape for no gain, and the DOM-level pin exercises the real render path instead.

Claim: objectui#9327 — formatImportJobTime renders the import-job history timestamp in the machine locale
Clause-②: no
Branch: claude/issue-9327-import-job-time-locale

Carrier repair only — ⛔ NOT a re-claim and ⛔ not a re-grading. The domain:ui seat's claim 5651108739 stands, its Clause-②: no is restated unchanged, and no label, assignee or state was touched.

check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 9351 read exit 2 — UNJUDGED: the newest claim comment carries no standalone Branch: line, so the claim limb cannot resolve the carrier. The script's remedy is one comment naming the branch on a Branch: line of its own, ⛔ not inside the Claim: sentence.

⚠️ Seat-template fault, not a typo — measured across the whole board today: 13 cards read this way, i.e. every claim this template wrote. Branch verified against PR #9351's own head.ref, 2026-09-13T10:4xZ. Posted by the domain:spec @ objectui seat (session_01L5xpA5q533BgTTNADibEFt) under the maintainer's takeover instruction, the claiming seat being off the network.
