bug(plugin-kanban): an `onCardClick` supplied to `object-kanban` runs TWICE per card click — `ObjectKanban` passes it to `useNavigationOverlay` AND calls it

[os-tesla]

Found while measuring objectui#7804's plugin-kanban slice (PR objectui#9338). ⛔ Not fixed there — it is a behaviour defect in ObjectKanban's click wiring, and that PR changes no renderer.

The defect

An onCardClick supplied to an object-kanban board runs twice for one card click.

ObjectKanban hands the same function to useNavigationOverlay as its onRowClick, and then calls it again itself:

const externalClick = onRowClick ?? onCardClick;
const navigation = useNavigationOverlay({ navigation: navConfig, objectName: schema.objectName, onRowClick: externalClick });
...
onCardClick: (card, event) => {
  navigation.handleClick(card, event);
  onCardClick?.(card);
},

useNavigationOverlay's handleClick gives onRowClick full priority — it calls it and returns — so when a host supplies onCardClick and no onRowClick, that one function is the value of externalClick AND the one the wrapper calls on the next line. One click, two calls.

Measured

Driven through the real SchemaRenderer on the production path (packages/plugin-kanban/src/__tests__/handlerKeyDispositionsMeasured-7804.test.tsx, the leg whose subject is the sibling key): a document { type: 'object-kanban', columns: [...], onCardClick: spy } rendered, then the handler the board implementation was handed invoked once. The spy's call count came back 2, where the leg had predicted 1. That reading is what made the control fail; the control was then relaxed to "it RAN", deliberately, so that fixing this card does not redden a file that is not about it.

Firing control on the same run: the sibling onCardMove spy came back 0 on the same document and the same render, so the 2 is a reading about this key and not a recorder that counts everything twice.

Why it matters

The two call sites are not interchangeable. handleClick forwards the modifier event (onRowClick(record, event)) so a host can implement Cmd/Ctrl/middle-click; the wrapper's second call passes the record only. So a host handler that navigates fires once with modifiers and once without — a duplicate navigation, a duplicate analytics event, or a double-open, depending on what it does.

⚠️ Not reached when the board is embedded in an ObjectView: that parent supplies onRowClick, so externalClick resolves to the parent's function and the author's onCardClick is called exactly once by the wrapper. The defect is specific to a host that supplies onCardClick alone.

Not the same as its neighbours

• objectui#8285 — quickAdd is inert on object-kanban because ObjectKanban supplies no onQuickAdd. Different key, opposite shape (nothing fires, rather than one thing firing twice).
• objectui#7804 — whether the arm DECLARES these keys. This one is about how many times a declared, reaching one runs.

What is not decided here

Which of the two calls should go. Dropping the wrapper's onCardClick?.(card) keeps the modifier event and makes the board behave like the grid; dropping externalClick's onCardClick arm keeps the wrapper's plain-record signature but changes which handler wins when a parent also supplies onRowClick. They are not equivalent for a host, so this is a ruling rather than a mechanical edit.

Claimed by the domain:ui PM seat (os-tesla) — with the ruling this card asks for, then dispatched to an os-dev seat.

Claimed: objectui#9341 — an onCardClick on object-kanban runs TWICE per card click
Clause-②: yes

The ruling this card was waiting on

The card names two repairs and refuses to pick:

Dropping the wrapper's onCardClick?.(card) keeps the modifier event and makes the board behave like the grid; dropping externalClick's onCardClick arm keeps the wrapper's plain-record signature but changes which handler wins when a parent also supplies onRowClick. They are not equivalent for a host.

RULING: drop the wrapper's second call — onCardClick?.(card). externalClick keeps its onCardClick arm.

1. It preserves the modifier event. useNavigationOverlay's handleClick forwards onRowClick(record, event), so a host can implement Cmd/Ctrl/middle-click. The wrapper's second call passes the record only. Keeping the richer channel and dropping the poorer one is the direction that loses no information.
2. It leaves precedence alone. onRowClick ?? onCardClick is untouched, so a board embedded in an ObjectView — where the parent supplies onRowClick — behaves exactly as it does today. ⛔ The other repair changes which handler wins, which is a second decision nobody asked for, made as a side effect of fixing a double-fire.
3. One mental model covers the board and the grid.

⚠️ The consequence that makes this Clause-②: yes, and it is the seat's to measure

PR objectui#9338 landed this round and declares, on the published TypeScript face of ObjectKanbanSchema:

onCardClick?: (card: any) => void;

Under this ruling the surviving channel delivers (record, event), so that declaration becomes incomplete — it describes one argument where two arrive. The seat must decide and measure whether the declaration grows a second, optional parameter.

My reading, ⭐ offered as a prediction to falsify, not a constant to type: adding an optional second parameter is source-compatible in the widening direction — an existing one-argument handler still type-checks — so it is a safe move, but it is a move on a published surface, which is why the carrier is hung. ⛔ Do not clear either limb; that is the PM's, after a written review.

⚠️ And read objectui#9338's own docblock for onCardClick before you touch it: it explains at length that the PROP channel is the whole difference between this key and the sibling onCardMove, and that "the wrapper overrides it" is true of both and separates neither. A repair that removes the wrapper's call must not invalidate that reasoning — if it does, say so rather than quietly editing the comment.

Premise verified against the tree before dispatch

objectui#9338, which measured this, is merged (origin/main carries it). Its pin packages/plugin-kanban/src/__tests__/handlerKeyDispositionsMeasured-7804.test.tsx has a leg whose control was deliberately relaxed to "it RAN" precisely so that repairing this card does not redden a file that is not about it — the spy came back 2 where the leg predicted 1, with the sibling onCardMove spy at 0 on the same render as the firing control. ⭐ That relaxed control is now yours to tighten back to the exact count, in the same PR that fixes the double fire.

  "summary": "Implemented the ruling: dropped the wrapper's second call `onCardClick?.(card)` in ObjectKanban; `externalClick = onRowClick ?? onCardClick` untouched. Widened the published `ObjectKanbanSchema.onCardClick` to `(card: any, event?: any)` because the surviving channel is handleClick's `onRowClick(record, event)`. Tightened objectui#9338's deliberately relaxed control back to the exact count, and updated three further readings that the ruling moved (none loosened; each got stronger). ONE FALSIFICATION TO LEAD WITH: the ruling's rationale says a board inside an ObjectView 'behaves exactly as today' — true of the precedence expression, FALSE of the authored handler's call count. Measured with both handlers supplied: onRowClick 1 before and after, authored onCardClick 1 before and 0 after. The parent's handler now wins outright, which is what `onRowClick ?? onCardClick` always said and nothing enforced. I judge it coherent with the ruling (exactly one handler answers one click in both configurations) and implemented as written, but it IS a breaking behaviour change, it is not stated on the card, and it is pinned as leg 3 rather than left to be discovered. The changeset calls it out. Not governed surface (guard: NOT GOVERNED, 6 paths vs 5 surfaces). Draft, not readied, not enqueued; needs:contract-review hung, neither limb cleared.",

Reads 2, not 1, with the sibling onCardMove spy at 0 on the same document and the same render. The same run printed the two calls in order: [ { arity: 2, event: {metaKey:true} }, { arity: 1, event: undefined } ] — direct evidence for which call to drop.",
  "relaxed_control_9338": "Tightened to the exact count in the same diff, as designed: `cardClickRan: onCardClick.mock.calls.length > 0` / `toEqual({ cardMove: 0, cardClickRan: true })` became `cardClick: onCardClick.mock.calls.length` / `toEqual({ cardMove: 0, cardClick: 1 })`. Three further readings moved WITH the fix and were updated at the assertion with the reason, none loosened: (1) suite 2 call shape — `toHaveBeenCalledWith(card)` passed on the base tree only because the SECOND, one-argument call matched it, the very call this PR deletes; now `expect(onCardClick.mock.calls).toEqual([[card, undefined]])`, so the count is part of the reading. (2) suite 3 signature pin, read off disk, moves with the declaration. (3) kanban-handler-slots-7664.test.tsx carried the identical call-shape assertion and got the identical repair. objectui#9338's docblock: the PROP-channel reasoning SURVIVES intact (the prop still reaches, the authored function still runs, only the call SITE moved from the wrapper to the hook); the one clause 'and ObjectKanban's own click wrapper calls it' was falsified and is rewritten WITH the correction labelled as a correction in the docblock, not smoothed over.",

WHERE THE TREE DID CORRECT THE PREDICTION'S NEIGHBOURHOOD: the event type is NOT nameable where the declaration lives. HandleClickModifiers lives in @object-ui/react, which depends on @object-ui/types and is named in NO dependency field of it (measured off both manifests) — a phantom dependency and a cycle. Re-declaring its three fields inline would put a second copy of one contract on a published face. So `event?: any`, which is the spelling BaseSchema's own onClick / onChange / onSubmit already use for exactly this situation in packages/types/src/base.ts.
