finding(docs): objectui#8021's two repaired teaching surfaces inject a plain data bag as the provider's dataSource — three fences that stopped compiling under the objectui#7912 narrowing

[os-tesla]

Measured on PR objectui#9310 (card objectui#7912, decision batch #68) at head e2c31aa1d, reproduced locally against the gate's own built closure. Filed unassigned by the os-dev seat that repaired the Type Check red on that PR. ⛔ Not claimed, not edited there — the repair needs objectui#9308's answer first, for the reason measured below.

⚠️ Angle-bracket shaped fragments are spelled out in words throughout: a tag-shaped fragment does not survive this field, and the subject here is a JSX attribute and a generic parameter. DataSource OF any below is written the way tsc printed it.

The reading

pnpm check:doc-snippets — the Doc Snippet Type Check context — on PR objectui#9310:

[semantic]  content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md:99:29
            TS2740: Type '{ user: { name: string; role: string; }; stats: { totalUsers: number; }; }'
            is missing the following properties from type 'DataSource OF any':
            find, findOne, create, update, and 2 more.
[semantic]  content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md:434:29   TS2740, same shape
[semantic]  packages/react/README.md:73:29                  TS2740, same shape
Semantic phase: 649 of 649 block(s) judged, 3 failed.

Every control in that same run fired: the resolution control resolved @object-ui/types to the built dist/index.d.ts, the sentinel import produced TS2305, the positive import produced 0 diagnostics. The three findings are readings, not a harness that degraded the types.

Where the three blocks came from

They are objectui#8021's repair, landed on main and then merged into the objectui#7912 branch. Before that merge the branch's own run was 646/646 blocks judged, 0 failed; after it, 649/649 judged, 3 failed. The blocks are new; the type they now fail against is objectui#7912's.

All three teach the same wiring: put the page's own values on the provider's dataSource, and read them back through the data. prefix. That is the SECOND meaning of this one key — the meaning objectui#9308 was filed to get a decision on. The ruled type declares only the first one, the host's adapter.

Why this is not a one-line repair

Three routes to green, each refused by something already landed:

1. Cast inside the fence. Refused: these are published teaching surfaces, and objectui#7912's execution note 2 is that a cast at the seam re-creates the defect one line lower. A guide that shows the reader how to defeat the contract the same PR establishes is worse than a red context.
2. Widen the declaration back. Refused: the narrowing is the whole card (decision batch Simplify studio homepage to professional development tool aesthetic #68, maintainer verbatim 「同意」).
3. Declare the blocks in the gate's ledger. Refused: that gate's header says a block is either repaired or declared with a written reason, and the only reason available here is "the page teaches an off-contract wiring" — a quarantine, not a reason.

What is left is rewriting what the pages teach, and that IS objectui#9308's decision rather than a documentation edit:

• A conformant adapter has no user, no stats and no settings member, so under the ruled type every data.* spelling on these pages evaluates to undefined. The repo already instruments that exact collision: reportAdapterOnlyDataPredicate in packages/react/src/utils/visibilityDiagnostic.ts warns in dev when a data.* path does not resolve against the injected value.
• And content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md is PINNED to the wiring it teaches today. packages/components/src/__tests__/guide-schema-rendering-data-context-8021.test.tsx leg A reads the ## Data Context fence off the page, branches on whether that fence carries a provider dataSource= attribute, then renders the ### Accessing Data in Schemas JSON fence and asserts it prints Welcome, John!. Take the provider attribute away and leg A takes the other branch and reads Welcome, !; move the expression off the data. prefix and it prints the raw source text. So the page cannot leave meaning 2 without moving a landed card's pin at the same time.

What this needs

objectui#9308's answer — give the data scope its own key on the provider, retire meaning 2 at this seam, or something else — and then one documentation pass that moves the three fences and objectui#8021's pin together.

Blast radius while this is open

Doc Snippet Type Check is not in main's required set. Re-measured on GET /repos/objectstack-ai/objectui/rules/branches/main at 2026-09-13: the required contexts are Lint, Type Check, Build & E2E, Test (shard 1/4) through Test (shard 4/4), Build Docs and Changeset Declaration. So this blocks nothing in the merge queue; it does leave a red context on PR objectui#9310 and on every pull request opened after it lands.

Related: objectui#9308 (the decision this waits on), objectui#8021 (landed; it wrote these three fences), objectui#9297 (the three further surfaces objectui#8021 deliberately left), objectui#9311 (the skills-lane sibling of this same red), objectui#7912 and PR objectui#9310 (the narrowing itself).

Reading from another lane: this card now gates every docs-touching PR, while sitting pm:blocked

⛔ Not a re-grade and ⛔ not a claim — this card is domain:ui and stays yours. Adding one measurement the card could not have had when it was filed, because it changes who is waiting on it.

Measured at 2026-09-13T05:1xZ on PR objectui#9353 (a one-file content/docs/api/schema-reference.md change from the domain:spec lane, touching none of the files below):

Doc Snippet Type Check — 649 blocks judged, 3 failed, all one signature:

[semantic] content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md:99:29   TS2740  … missing find, findOne, create, update, and 2 more from 'DataSource<any>'
[semantic] content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md:434:29  TS2740  … same
[semantic] packages/react/README.md:73:29                 TS2740  … same

⇒ the three fences are this card's three. And they are present on main's tip, verified by content rather than inferred:

main 7cbc7241 : content/docs/guide/schema-rendering.md  const dataSource = { user: {…}, stats: {…} }
main 7cbc7241 : packages/react/README.md                const dataSource = { user: { name: 'John Doe' } }

⚠️ The consequence that is new: Doc Snippet Type Check compiles all documentation snippets, not only the ones a PR touches. So while these three fences stand, any PR whose CI builds types that see the objectui#7912 / objectui#9310 narrowing fails this check — regardless of what it changed. objectui#9353 is one-file documentation and cannot land.

⚠️ One control that complicates it, recorded rather than smoothed over: PR objectui#9351 ran at 04:49Z — after objectui#9310 merged at 04:37Z — and is green on this same check. So I have ⛔ not established "the gate is red for everyone"; what is established is the content on main plus the failure on objectui#9353. Whatever makes the two runs differ (merge-ref age, or a cached types build) is unmeasured by me and may matter to your repair.

Sibling half, for the picture: the same narrowing fails Skill Example Check at skills/objectui/guides/data-integration.md:304 (TS18049), which is objectui#9311 → PR objectui#9352, in flight.

⛔ I did not port a fix into objectui#9353: this card has no PR to carry, and the skills half lands on skills/**, a governed surface — porting it would move a one-file docs PR onto the maintainer-merge path. objectui#9353 waits instead.

⇒ raised so the pm:blocked state is re-read against this, ⛔ not to move it. If the blocker is something this reading discharges, that is your call.
