fix(app-shell): the console-made tab of a view-less object keeps toolbar changes for the session (objectui#11643)

[objectstack-fleet]

Fixes #11643

Clause-②: no

What changed

On an object that declares no list view, buildViewTabs pushes a tab the console makes itself: "All Records", id all. Its toolbar changes took the overlay branch of persistViewPatch like a served view's and were sent as PUT /api/v1/meta/view/all with no viewKind. The door refused them (422 INVALID_METADATA), an error toast appeared, and the change was gone on reload.

Triage's ruling (comment 5988346142) chose "not offered as saved": the tab's toolbar changes apply for the session and send no metadata write, and no view is created to hold them.

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. It is not exported. A symbol key rides every spread of the tab the page takes, and Object.entries, Object.keys and JSON.stringify skip it, so it never reaches a request body.
• persistViewPatch returns before it schedules anything (no read, no PUT, no toast) when the tab carries the mark and no stored row backs it. "Stored row" is isSavedViewId, the classification the write below it already uses.
• One rule covers every control that reaches persistViewPatch: density, sort (the schema's and the list's callback), hidden fields, column order and widths (both callbacks), and inline edit. The list keeps each change in its own state, so it applies for the session.
• The tab is told apart by where it was made, not by its id. A served view whose tab id is also all, a saved view beside the console's tab, and a stored row named all that shadows that tab all keep their save path.

No export, prop, exported type member or i18n key is added to any @object-ui/* package. There is no server-side change. The served-view and saved-view save paths are unchanged.

Measured

Live before and after

Backend: objectstack main 27991556, examples/app-showcase, objectstack dev --seed-admin --fresh, built in a separate worktree. Two consoles ran against that one backend: base 531b26c and this branch. A headless Chromium logged in as the seeded admin, clicked the toolbar's Density button, recorded every /meta/view request and answer, read the toasts and the console errors, and reloaded the page.

showcase_account declares no view: GET /api/v1/meta/view?object=showcase_account answers items: [], and its object document carries no listViews and no list. The only tab is "All Records".

	base 531b26c	this branch
Density after the click	Density: Comfortable, row 41 to 45 px	Density: Comfortable, row 41 to 45 px
Writes to /meta/view	PUT /api/v1/meta/view/all, body {"rowHeight":"medium","object":"showcase_account","name":"all","_isOverride":true}	none
Answer	422, INVALID_METADATA, "Unrecognized key(s) on this view container: rowHeight, _isOverride"	none sent
Toast	"Failed to save" with the door's message	none
Console	[ObjectView] Failed to persist view config: ...	none
After reload	Density: Compact	Density: Compact (session-only, as ruled)

The served view showcase_task.default still saves on this branch. The click sent PUT /api/v1/meta/view/showcase_task.default and got 200, and after reload the button read Density: Comfortable (45 px). Base did the same: PUT answered 200, and the density survived the reload.

Pins

New file: ObjectView.fallbackTabSessionOnly-11643.test.tsx. It reuses the objectui#11642 harness: the real page, the real persistViewPatch with its debounce, and the real ObjectStackAdapter over a store that judges each PUT with the spec's ViewMetadataSchema.

1. On the console-made tab of a view-less object, each of the eight callbacks that reach persistViewPatch sends no updateViewConfig, no saveItem and no getItem, and raises no toast and no persist error.
2. A saved view beside that tab: the console tab still sends nothing. The saved view's density change is written (isSavedView: true) and survives a reload.
3. A served view whose tab id is all (a bare key in the object's own listViews) keeps its overlay save path (isSavedView: false), composes with its stored overlay, and survives a reload.
4. A stored row named all that shadows the console-made tab is a saved row. Its write is sent (isSavedView: true) and survives a reload.

Reverse verification

Run on the committed fix (80b203a) through ablation-replace.mjs. That tool checked the anchor count, checked that the blob changed, and restored the file to the HEAD blob with git diff HEAD empty after each leg.

Mutation of the guard	Red	Green
removed	1, 2	3, 4
keyed on viewIdLocal === 'all'	3, 4	1, 2
isSavedViewId clause dropped	4	1, 2, 3

With the guard removed, case 1 failed on its write count. The one coalesced write it caught was updateViewConfig('track_note', 'all', { rowHeight, sort, inlineEdit, columnState }, { isSavedView: false }). hiddenFields was not in it, because persistHiddenFields already kept that toggle session-only on a tab that declares no columns. The prediction for that leg named case 1 only. Case 2 also went red, because its first half drives the console-made tab. The test header records the measured direction.

Gates

All local gates ran on head bd7343f, which is 80b203a plus a test-header commit plus a merge of origin/main 0baf86f. That merge does not touch ObjectView.tsx. The live run and the reverse verification ran on 80b203a. Exit codes are below.

• pnpm exec vitest run packages/app-shell/ (repo root, under the shared verify lock): exit 0. Test Files 1005 passed | 1 skipped (1006) and Tests 9979 passed | 9 skipped (9988). vitest list --filesOnly counts the same 1006 files, the new one among them.
• pnpm --filter @object-ui/app-shell type-check, after the @object-ui/app-shell^... closure build: exit 0. The script echoes tsc --noEmit && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json, and --listFilesOnly on tsconfig.test.json includes the new test file.
• pnpm --filter @object-ui/app-shell lint: exit 0, with 0 errors. Every warning is no-explicit-any, and the new test file's warnings follow the objectui#11642 harness it copies.
• Root scripts, each exit 0: check-object-metadata-write-doors, check-new-cross-file-line-citations, check-control-bytes, check-changeset-presence, check-changeset-no-major, check-changeset-fixed, check-changeset-claims, check-changeset-overwrite, check-pending-changeset-literals, check-vi-mock-specifiers, check-vi-mock-inherit, check-vi-mock-override-shape, check-test-path-roots, check-type-check-coverage, check-unreferenced-sources, check-i18n-call-site-keys and check-handler-key-read-sites.
• CI runs the full farm. This list covers only what the diff touches.

Changeset: .changeset/11643-fallback-tab-session-only.md, @object-ui/app-shell patch.

Acceptance notes

• Hidden fields: before this change, persistHiddenFields already returned early on the console-made tab, because the tab declares no columns and no row backs it. The new rule covers that toggle as well, so all five controls answer to one rule. The early return in persistHiddenFields itself is unchanged.
• A served view called all exists in no example. CRM declares listViews.all on crm_lead, crm_activity and crm_opportunity, but the spec's expandViewContainer names those crm_lead.all and so on (measured for crm_lead). ViewItemNameSchema requires a dotted name, so a served ViewItem cannot be named a bare all. A bare all tab id can only come from an object document's own listViews. Pin 3 covers that case.
• Noted, not filed, not measured live: a served tab built from a bare key in an object document's own listViews carries no viewKind. Its first overlay PUT depends on the door inheriting one from a registry entry of the same name. No example has such an object, so this was not exercised live. Pin 3 seeds a stored overlay that carries viewKind. Carrier: none.

ACCEPT: PR objectui#11654, head bd7343f. It lands when every check on this head is green

domain:ui execution seat 1 @ objectui · session_015W8GBu6sBiqus2L2xjMsAL (os-steve) · 2026-10-05T09:56Z. Reviewed against GitHub and origin/main, not against the report's prose (report on objectui#11643).

• Shape. The PR is a draft against main, and its assignee is os-steve. Its first line is Fixes #11643, the only line with a closing keyword next to an issue number. Clause-②: no is on its own line. The diff is 3 files, +464/−0, inside the claim's surface: ObjectView.tsx, one new pin file and the changeset. No path is governed.
• The resumption. The first run was lost to the container restart with no commits of its own. This run built from 531b26c, and every reading is its own.
• The ruling, as written. The console-made tab is marked where it is built (fallbackTab) with a module-local symbol, CONSOLE_MADE_TAB, which is not exported. persistViewPatch returns before it schedules anything (no read, no PUT, no toast) when the base tab carries the mark and no stored row backs it (isSavedViewId, the existing classification in utils/viewIdentity.ts). One rule covers every control that reaches the function. No view is created.
• Provenance, not the id, as the dispatch required. Object spread copies a symbol-keyed property, so the mark rides every copy of the tab, and JSON.stringify skips it, so it never reaches a request body. The pin's cases show that each of these keeps saving: a served view whose tab id is all, a saved view beside the console's tab, and a stored row named all that shadows that tab.
• Tests. The new pin uses objectui#11642's real-adapter harness and has 4 cases. Ablations: dropping the guard turns the fallback-tab cases red; keying on id === 'all' turns the served-all and stored-all cases red; dropping the isSavedViewId clause turns the stored-all case red. The full packages/app-shell/ suite is green (1005 files).
• Live, both directions (objectstack main 27991556, showcase_account with no list views).
  • Before: PUT /api/v1/meta/view/all → 422 INVALID_METADATA, an error toast, and the density lost on reload.
  • After: the density applies, no /meta/view write is sent, no toast appears, and the density is session-only on reload, as ruled.
  • A served view (showcase_task.default) still writes 200 and survives a reload.
• Changeset, sentence by sentence. It is @object-ui/app-shell: patch. The 422 mechanism, the session-only rule and its control list, "no view is created", the provenance sentence and the Clause-②: no line all match the diff.
• Serial. objectui#11629's patch round touches kanbanViewOptions in the same file (about :451), far from this diff's three hunks. Whichever lands second is rebuilt on main by the queue.

Minor, not blocking: the merge commit bd7343f carries no Claude-Session / Co-authored-by pair (objectui AGENTS.md, the objectui#9441 ruling). It is pushed and is not rewritten. The squash commit that lands is built from the PR, so the landed history is unaffected.

Left as noted, not filed (unmeasured):

• A served tab from a bare key in an object's own listViews relies on the door inheriting viewKind. No example declares one.
• The served-view toolbar PUT body carries read decorations of the read-back row (_provenance, _diagnostics, …). The door answers 200; whether it stores them was not measured. The seat carries this as a follow-up of objectui#11642.

Landing: on all-green checks on this head, ready, then auto-merge into the merge queue.
