finding(components): an element:number with neither object nor a dataSource binding now passes the html tier and paints an empty dash silently: PR objectui#10944 relaxed object's required, so no JSX gate reports the missing object

Filing-gate category: ① an authoring error that no longer reaches any authoring-time gate, with a named landing site. Reader: triage first (grade and route). Filed by domain:ui seat 2, session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN, as the follow-up contract review 5867599385 on PR #10944 (objectui#10909) names. That PR disclosed the trade in its changeset (Clause-②: yes (widening)). ⛔ Not graded here.

What changed

To accept the spec's dataSource form, PR objectui#10944 registers element:number through elementDataSourceBlock: the manifest declares dataSource, and object is no longer required.
Before it, sdui-parser validateTree reported missing-required-prop "object" (severity error) on an element:number with aggregate and no object. That covers the JSX-page compiler, the save gate, and the objectstack CLI's JSX gate through the published sdui.manifest.json.
After it, a node with neither object nor a binding passes those gates, and the renderer paints "—" with no signal.
- It paints "—" silently on base too; what the change removed is the authoring-time report.
Still reported on the JSON door only: the spec lint gate, as an advisory warning, and PR objectui#10908's arm at properties.object once it lands, and then only when a bag is present.

Precedent

objectui#10508 made the same trade on calendar and gantt objectName.

Direction (for triage to grade)

Pick one, measured:

(a) a runtime notice: ElementNumberRenderer renders an explicit "no object named" state (not the empty dash) when the resolved object is absent and an aggregate is set;
(b) a one-of check at the html tier: the manifest input model expresses "object or dataSource.object" and validateTree reports when neither is present.

(b) is the stronger authoring-time guard, and the same shape would serve record_picker and the other element blocks that accept a binding. Whichever is chosen, pin it with a node carrying neither, plus a control carrying each one.

Dedupe

A semantic search of objectui issues (element:number, neither object nor dataSource, empty dash, missing-required-prop, one-of) returned nothing.

_{domain:ui seat 2 · finding · 2026-09-28}

Path: write metadata — wrong metadata refused loudly | 缺项 (no item authors an element:number naming no object) | P2

Triage: first grade — `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:ui` · `area:studio` · `pm:queue` (`finding` removed). Direction (a) first; (b) only if the manifest can already say "one of"

Triage: lands in ElementNumberRenderer (packages/components/src/renderers/basic/elements.tsx) ⇒ domain:ui, the lane and grade of objectui#10909 (p2, closed by PR objectui#10944).

Rationale:

What changed. Since PR objectui#10944, an element:number that names neither object nor dataSource.object passes every html-tier door and paints "—". The JSON door only warns, advisorily.
Why p2. NORTH-STAR rule 4 wants wrong metadata refused loudly. What was loud at authoring time is now silent, so it runs but answers wrong.

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-09-28T12:00Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Direction (triage decides it; the card offered two).

Do (a) now. When the resolved object is absent and an aggregate is set, the renderer draws an explicit 「no object named」 state instead of the empty dash. It is local to the renderer and adds no new contract. Pin it with a node carrying neither, plus one control for each form.
Do (b) only if it costs no new contract. First measure whether the sdui manifest input model can already express "object or dataSource.object" (any existing one-of or any-of form).
- It can: register it and let validateTree report the gap in the same PR.
- It cannot: ⛔ don't invent a manifest construct here. A new input-model shape widens a published contract (sdui.manifest.json). Stop and report it as needs_decision; objectui#10508's calendar and gantt trade would ride on the same answer.

Duplicate check. A local corpus of 1,329 objectui issues matched element:number … neither | missing-required-prop | one-of only against the ui seat 2 post (objectui#9771). No duplicate.

Claim: PM loop round 14 (serial) — domain:ui execution seat 2
Session: session_014mXUNuFomfj24w7s1pZzhN
Branch: claude/issue-10951-element-number-no-object-state
Worktree: objectui-issue-10951
Domain: domain:ui
Seat: domain:ui#2
File surface, per triage 5869415559 (direction (a) first; (b) only if the manifest can already say "one of"):

(a) packages/components/src/renderers/basic/elements.tsx: ElementNumberRenderer draws an explicit, localized "no object named" state instead of the silent "—" when the node authors an aggregate and names neither properties.object nor dataSource.object. It is local to the renderer, with no new contract.
- A binding whose view is still resolving, or failed to resolve, keeps its current loading and error panels.
(b) Measured first: does the sdui manifest input model already express "object or dataSource.object"? If it does, register it so validateTree reports the gap, and the PR re-rules Clause-② to yes. If it does not, ⛔ no new manifest construct: (b) goes back as an open question and (a) lands alone.
Pins under packages/components/src/, and a '@object-ui/components': patch changeset (for (a)).
Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (default judgment tier)
Clause-②: no
Why no: (a) is renderer-only, and no declared type, accepted key, export or manifest input moves. If (b) lands with an existing one-of form, the published manifest's declared inputs change, so the PR re-rules to yes and carries needs:contract-review.
Thread-read: 5869415559
Serial constraints cleared:
Dispatch is serial, and this is the one card in development. PR objectui#10983 (objectui#10963) has passed review and is in its landing, which does not count.
I read the open-PR file lists at 2026-09-28T12:5xZ, at objectui origin/main deca847a8a (open PRs re-read). None touches elements.tsx or packages/sdui-parser/. Release PR objectui#5400 touches only changesets there.
If another seat claims at the same time, the earliest live claim wins and this seat yields.

A binding that names an object keeps its loading and error panels, and a node with no aggregate keeps the dash.

"options": [
"A. Keep (a) only; add no authoring-time check. Business need: zero non-test element:number authoring sites in objectui examples/apps and in objectstack examples, measured by git grep on origin/main with element:text as the lit control; the producer at risk is AI page authoring, which is unmeasured. Long-term: no new contract; the author sees the notice at render instead of at save, which is later than before PR objectui#10944. AI-error: the mistake is visible, not silent, but nothing refuses it at publish. Startup focus: zero new surface and zero new gates.",
"B. Add a parser-local per-tag rule in validateTree, like checkKanbanQuickAdd (QUICK_ADD_HOST_TYPES) and checkDashboardWidgetOptions (DASHBOARD_WIDGET_HOST_TYPES). Business need: same as A. Long-term: a hard-coded tag arm per one-of family (element:number, record_picker, calendar, gantt). The objectstack side runs a lockstep port of packages/sdui-parser/src (objectui-lockstep.json records the files and diagnosticCodes), so every arm is a two-repo change and a workaround-shaped contract. AI-error: refuses loudly at authoring on both JSX doors once ported. Startup focus: a new gate that no maintainer has named, so the default is no.",
"C. Add ONE manifest input-model construct (for example a component-level required-one-of list that can name a nested path such as dataSource.object), serialized into sdui.manifest.json and read by validateTree in both repos, then declared by element:number, record_picker and the calendar/gantt record source. Business need: same as A. Long-term: the contract-first shape; one declaration replaces N parser arms and restores the pre-PR-objectui#10944 authoring-time report. AI-error: strongest; declared equals enforced at publish. Startup focus: it widens a published contract (Clause-② yes, lockstep port, codegen/types readers) and adds a new gate the maintainer has not named."

(a) already removes the silent half the card called p2. If the maintainer does want the authoring-time refusal back, choose C over B: it is the contract-first shape and one construct covers all four one-of families. B's per-tag arms duplicate across the lockstep and are the workaround shape."

Ruling 5872049943 on objectui#10991 (batch #239 item 1, letter A, maintainer 「同意」): the html tier adds no authoring-time report for "one of two ways to name the object"; the runtime notice in PR objectui#10989 is the whole answer to this card. No manifest one-of construct, no parser per-tag arm. The same ruling leaves element:record_picker and objectui#10508's calendar / gantt record source as they are. The needs_decision in dev report 5871269526 covered (b) only, so nothing blocks (a): the seat lands #10989 and closes this card on it.
