studio: autosave validates normal intermediate states — switching a field to Picklist, picking Lookup or adding a Notify node shows a red error before the author can fill it in

Filing gate ① — product defect with a named location and a reproduction. reach: Studio: choosing Selection · Picklist as a field's type produces a red banner before the options editor can be used; same for Lookup before a target is picked and for a freshly added Notify node (PUT …/meta/flow/<name>?mode=draft → 422).

Who acts on it: objectui triage → the Studio / app-shell owner. ⛔ Not a claim. Found in a manual browser QA pass of Studio on 2026-10-07; filed one card per finding on the maintainer's word: 「你发现的问题全部提交 issue」, and on the one-card-per-finding question 「覆盖规则，逐条立卡」.

What happens

Autosave fires on every intermediate state and its refusal is shown as an error, so the normal path (pick a type → then fill it in) always passes through a red banner. The banner clears only after the author completes the field.

Expected

Incomplete-but-normal states are hinted inline ("Add at least one option", "Pick the object to link to") and held as an unsent local draft; errors are reserved for states the author has finished.

Suggested direction (triage to rule)

Validate client-side first; when the shape is incomplete, skip the network save and show an inline hint on the inspector field; block only at publish.

Environment

objectstack 879bd38c · examples/app-showcase booted with objectstack dev --ui --seed-admin on an isolated port and SQLite file · objectui 179f6fe9 (HEAD; the framework pin .objectui-sha is a58626c8) served by the console's Vite dev server, perf numbers from a vite build of the same commit · Chromium 141 at 1440×900 · signed in as the seeded platform admin admin@objectos.ai unless stated.

Duplicate check

Semantic issue search on objectstack-ai/objectui (open and closed), intermediate state validation picklist no options lookup no reference notify title autosave error: 5 hits (0 open, 5 closed).
Related, not the same defect:
- Studio autosaves a new select / radio before it has options; once objectstack#20827 refuses such a field at the FieldSchema door, that save answers 422: guard or complete the write first #11253 (closed) — closed 2026-10-01 (PR feat(data-objectstack,plugin-designer)!: no Studio or plugin-designer path sends a select / radio without its options; the object write guard holds it (objectui#11253) #11287): added the write guard that HOLDS the option-less select save; this card's red error on switching to Picklist is plausibly that guard's refusal surfaced as an error -- direct follow-up
- [console 17.0.0-rc.0] Action params dialog: lookup param always renders 'no reference object configured' helpText even when reference is set and the picker works #3094 (closed) — premature lookup-reference message, different surface
Positive control in the same run: related lists action id refusal notice shown to end users on objectstack-ai/objectui returned related lists: an action id the related object does not define draws a refusal notice above the list for whoever opens the record — an authoring fault shown to end users; scope it to authors/admins #11768: yes.

Dedupe words: autosave intermediate state error · picklist no options banner · lookup reference banner · notify node 422 draft

Path: write metadata — Studio validates at publish, not mid-edit | 缺项 | P2

Triage: first grade, `bug` · `priority:p2` · `domain:ui` · `area:studio` · `pm:queue`. Direction: an incomplete shape skips the network save with an inline hint, and blocks only at publish

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post objectstack-ai/objectstack#6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-07T16:17Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in Studio's autosave path (field type changes, Lookup selection, adding a Notify node) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: a Studio or console surface in objectui. Filed from the Studio browser QA pass of 2026-10-07 (objectstack 879bd38c, objectui 179f6fe9).

Why p2: normal intermediate states draw a red error before the author can finish (measured).
Direction:
- validate client-side first; when the shape is incomplete, skip the network save and show an inline hint on the inspector field
- block only at publish
Serial with studio: no draft save sends If-Match, so two editors (or two tabs) silently overwrite each other's metadata edits #11773 (the same save path): whichever lands second merges main.
Clause-②: no. Patch changeset in objectui.

Deferred, not parked: domain:ui seat 2 (session_01MgfduSkFrfM3eorB3UGfAU) · 2026-10-08T00:38Z. ⛔ Not a claim. The card stays pm:queue.

Why it is not dispatched this round. The fix lives in StudioDesignSurface.tsx's draft autosave: useDraftAutoSave at about :295 on objectui main 1e1f09e, and the autosave and publish error strips it feeds. Seat 3's in-flight objectui#11785 (claim 6049060030) holds exactly those strips. Same file, same region: serial across rounds.

Known pits for whoever picks it up:

Two autosave doors.
- ResourceEditPage.tsx runs its own autosave (debounce AUTOSAVE_DEBOUNCE_MS at about :1840, already gated on inspectorBlocking / refusalBlocking at :1870).
- The Studio surface runs useDraftAutoSave.
- The card's reproduction is Studio. Measure which door each of the three cases (Picklist, Lookup, Notify) goes through before choosing one place for the "incomplete shape ⇒ no network save" rule.
The Picklist case may be objectui#11253's write guard surfacing as an error (the card's own duplicate check). That guard HOLDS the option-less save on purpose, so the fix is how the hold is shown, not removing it.
Triage 6042017249 names objectui#11773 (pm:blocked) as serial with this card, on the same save path: whichever lands second merges main.
Release condition: objectui#11785 merged. Then re-read its diff of the error strips before writing the dispatch.

File surface (on 5aa7f55):

packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/StudioDesignSurface.tsx, these regions only:
- useDraftAutoSave (about :316–:391), if a held-incomplete state belongs in the hook;
- the Data pillar's draft save and its autosave call (doSave and useDraftAutoSave, about :4308–:4345) and the refusal strip it feeds;
- the Automations pillar's draft save and its autosave call (about :5410–:5437) and the refusal strip it feeds;
- the header's publish path (doPublish, about :1188, and its onPublish wiring), only so that Publish does not go around a held edit.
packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/metadataError.ts, if the held-incomplete reading reuses objectui#11785's guard re-run.
packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/ObjectFieldInspector.tsx: the options editor and the related-object picker, for the inline hints only.
packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/FlowNodeInspector.tsx: the spec-required markers (about :357), for a fresh Notify node's inline hint. inspectors/flow-required-keys.ts is reused as it is.
New engine.studio.* / designer.field.* rows of packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/i18n.ts (en and zh), under a prefix no in-flight card uses.
The tests beside these, and .changeset/11786-*.md.

⛔ Not on it:

this seat's objectui#11782: ObjectFieldInspector.tsx's Label input;
seat 2's objectui#11781: the Data pillar's field-inspector mount and open state (about :4500–:4530), the Form tab caption and the Access banner;
seat 2's objectui#11788: flow-node-config.ts, the Notify recipients editor, FlowNodeConfigField.tsx, the New automation dialog and doCreateFlow;
seat 2's objectui#11792: the Data pillar's New object CreateItemDialog call site;
seat 2's objectui#11797: packages-io.ts and usePendingDrafts.ts;
seat 1's objectui#11838: FlowNodeInspector.tsx's ID rename path and flow-problems.ts;
packages/data-objectstack/**: the write guard stays as objectui#11785 left it, holding the option-less and target-less save on purpose (objectui#11253).

Any file or region outside this list: the dev reports it before opening the PR (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: L, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui: no path-derived mandate; default tier). mode:cloud is the rule for an L card, but this container has no create_session tool, so the card runs as an in-session subagent.
Clause-②: no
Responsibility: objectui app-shell: Studio's autosave sends every intermediate state, so the normal path (pick Picklist, then add options; pick Lookup, then its target; add a Notify node, then fill it) always passes through a red refusal strip | the platform path: the client already knows each incomplete shape before sending (data-objectstack's write guard for choice and relationship fields; flow-required-keys.ts over the spec's flowNodeConfigRefusals for node config) | every low-code author building an object field or a flow step in Studio
Thread-read: 6049737578
Serial constraints cleared: objectui#11785 (the same save strips; this card's predecessor) merged as 4a9fe31, which is the release condition seat 2 wrote in 6049737578. objectui#11773 (pm:blocked, the same save path) is not in flight; its client half landed as 2dec305. In-flight claims on StudioDesignSurface.tsx (seat 2's objectui#11781, #11788, #11792) and on FlowNodeInspector.tsx (seat 1's objectui#11838) hold other regions, named above. Whoever lands second merges main. No open objectui PR touches these files except this seat's objectui#11851, which touches none of them (read 2026-10-08T01:57Z).

Why Clause-②: no: a Studio-side hold and hints inside @object-ui/app-shell, with rows in the designer's own string table. A published export, prop, type member or language-pack key, or any change to @object-ui/data-objectstack, is a stop: the dev reports it before opening the PR, and the seat amends this line.

Heads-up from domain:ui seat 2 (session_01MgfduSkFrfM3eorB3UGfAU) · 2026-10-08T03:22Z. ⛔ Not a claim, and no request to change this card's scope.

This seat's PR objectui#11875 (objectui#11788, ACCEPTed) changes packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/FlowNodeInspector.tsx. It touches one line of the fields memo (about :337): mergeServerFlowFields(serverFields, nodeType, declaredConfigKeys(schema)). It is near, but not on, this card's spec-required markers (claim 6050603483, about :357).

The behaviour change that matters here: with a backend, a notify node now renders its Recipients field. Before, the key was missing from the online form and sat in Advanced (JSON). The same merge rule also brings back the http node's Headers / Body editors.

A fresh Notify node's inline hint can therefore attach to a real Recipients field online.
Whichever of the two PRs lands second merges main.

An incomplete-but-normal edit (Picklist/Radio before an option, Lookup/Master-detail before a target, a new Notify before its Title) is held: it stays dirty and is not sent, so no red strip appears. The field inspector shows a hint under the options editor or the related-object picker, and FlowNodeInspector shows one under the required input. A neutral line where the strip goes names the field or step, with Show me when that input is not open. The surface's publish refuses with a toast naming the held edit, through a new optional onHeldEditChange prop on the two pillars. A finished body that is refused still shows objectui#11785's red strip.

Claim amendment — domain:ui seat 3, session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8, 2026-10-08T03:29Z. It amends claim 6050603483 after the dev's report 6051552987 (PR objectui#11876). The claim stands otherwise.

File surface, regions added (measured by the dev, read by the seat on the diff):
- StudioDesignSurface.tsx:
  - a new optional onHeldEditChange prop on the DataPillar and AutomationsPillar signatures;
  - the one-line onHeldEditChange={setHeldEdit} at each of their three mounts in the surface's render (Data, Automations, package-less Automations).
  This is the pillar-to-header signal the brief's Zone 2 Add default props to all components to prevent collapse in designer #4 asked for. Neither pillar is reachable from index.ts, so it is not a public prop.
- StudioDesignSurface.tsx: two new module-level pieces beside useDraftAutoSave, the useHeldEditReport hook and the StudioHeldNotice line. StudioHeldNotice is exported for its pins, and index.ts does not re-export it.
- ObjectFieldInspector.tsx: one module-level helper (guardHeldNeed, HeldHint) and three more names on its existing @object-ui/data-objectstack import, beside the two hint sites.
- metadataError.ts imports flow-node-config.ts and flow-required-keys.ts read-only. Seat 2's objectui#11788 file flow-node-config.ts is not edited.
- Two existing pin files whose subject this card changes: DataPillar.authorRefusal-11785.test.tsx (its Picklist case) and DataPillar.choiceWithoutOptions-11253.test.tsx. They now read the held line, and their claims are kept.
Overlap re-read 2026-10-08T03:29Z: five other open PRs touch StudioDesignSurface.tsx (objectui#11868, fix(app-shell,console): zh names a Studio pillar by its tab label; settings label probes stop logging missing-translation warnings (objectui#11801) #11870, fix(app-shell): Studio's nav rail draws a separator as a divider and a leaf's badge as the sidebar does (objectui#11791) #11873, fix(app-shell): Studio's field inspector closes on a view switch or Escape, and a read-only package reads as read-only (objectui#11781) #11874, fix(app-shell): notify recipients render online and are picked; record field values pick their field; New automation asks for the trigger (objectui#11788) #11875; FlowNodeInspector.tsx too for fix(app-shell): notify recipients render online and are picked; record field values pick their field; New automation asks for the trigger (objectui#11788) #11875). git merge-tree of each against this PR's head is clean. objectui#11875 (seat 2's objectui#11788) changes the Notify recipients rows that this card's flow hold reads through fieldsForNodeType. Whoever lands second merges main, and the queue's CI runs both pins together.
Clause-②: no stands: no export, prop on a published type, type member or language-pack key. The new rows are in the designer's own string table.

- i18n.ts: designer rows, en and zh;
- four new pin files, two existing pin files whose subject changed, and the changeset (patch on @object-ui/app-shell).
packages/data-objectstack/**, flow-node-config.ts, flow-required-keys.ts and ResourceEditPage.tsx are untouched. Nothing is added to the package entry. No governed path.
Diff read (the seat's own):
- Data: objIncomplete asks the write guard of the exact body doSave would send (dropServedPicklistOptions(objDraft)). The guard holds the save on purpose (objectui#11253, as seat 2's note said). The edit stays dirty and unsent, so no red strip. A refused field that the guard does not name as options or target falls back to sending, and so to objectui#11785's red strip.
- Automations: flowIncomplete walks the top-level steps and holds when a visible inspector input is missing (undefined) and specRequiresField (the spec's own flowNodeConfigRefusals judge) requires it.
- Both feed useDraftAutoSave's blocked. Only the open item's own buffer is held (objLoaded / flowLoaded, objectui#11272).
- The held line is neutral (role="status", not destructive), names the field or step, and offers "Show me" unless that input is already open.
- doPublish refuses with a toast naming the held edit. useHeldEditReport clears the signal when a pillar unmounts, so a pillar left behind never keeps Publish refusing.
Brief readings, measured:
- Zone 2 Implement visual designer for Object UI schemas #1: all three cases go through useDraftAutoSave.
- Zone 2 Add public roadmap, VitePress documentation site, and GitHub Pages deployment #3 is partly falsified: on spec 17.7.0, a fresh Notify (recipients: [] seed) is refused for title only, and an empty recipients list is accepted (FlowSchema.safeParse on the exact draft).
- Zone 2 Add default props to all components to prevent collapse in designer #4 is measured by ablation C below: Publish went around the held edit without the check.
Ruling honoured (triage 6042017249): "validate client-side first; when the shape is incomplete, skip the network save and show an inline hint on the inspector field" and "block only at publish". The card's own Expected wording ("Add at least one option", "Pick the object to link to") is used.
Changeset sentences checked against the head:
- "no longer draws a red "Changes not saved" strip. The edit stays on screen, unsaved … a neutral line names the field, with "Show me" when its inspector is not open";
- "A step added before its required inputs are filled in, such as a new Notify step without a Title, is no longer sent";
- "While a page holds such an edit, Publish refuses and names the field or step";
- "A save of a finished draft that is refused still shows the red strip".
Reverse verification (dev report), ablations through ablation-replace.mjs on 4996e5a:
- A, the Data predicate removed from blocked: 2 of 5 red ("no red strip on the normal path").
- B, the flow predicate removed: 2 of 2 red ("a step missing a required input is not sent").
- C, the publish check disabled: 1 of 3 red ("Publish must not go around the held edit").
- Every restore left the blob equal to HEAD.
- 291 test files at ed6cc52 (the whole of studio-design/ plus every importer of the touched modules): 3110 tests passed. The full package run is CI's (declared narrowing). No real-browser reading: no booted Studio was reachable, and the pins go through the real pillar components.
Gates: CI on ed6cc52 (head_sha equals the PR head): 43 runs, 40 success, 3 skipped (Test (coverage), its shard template, dependabot), 0 failure. Lint and Type Check are success.
Contract review: not required (Clause-②: no).

Findings:

Two explicit saves still send an incomplete buffer: the Data page's column drag-reorder (doReorderFields) and the Automations page's Enabled switch (toggleEnabled). With a held field or step, each draws objectui#11785's red strip. Both are outside this card's regions and read from code only, not reproduced → Acceptance notes
Leaving the Data or Automations page with a held edit discards it without a prompt, as a refused edit was discarded before. Only Access and Interfaces report dirty state to the leave-confirm. It predates this card and is not measured → Acceptance notes
The flow hold does not look inside loop, parallel or try-catch regions, so a nested step's refusal still shows as the server words it. Not measured → Acceptance notes

Landing: ready + auto-merge through the queue, now.

Landed — domain:ui seat 3, session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8, 2026-10-08T04:04Z. PR objectui#11876 merged through the queue as 04c8f56 at 2026-10-08T04:02Z.

The merge:
- One parent, 33e3583, an ancestor of origin/main.
- The landed tree equals git merge-tree of that parent and the accepted head ed6cc52 (tree 2e28e313 on both).
- 12 files, +1243/−49.
- The parent already carried seat 2's objectui#11788 (PR objectui#11875, the Notify recipients rows this card's flow hold reads), so the queue's CI ran both together.
Content check, 33e3583 → 04c8f56:
- In StudioDesignSurface.tsx: the Data hold objIncomplete !== null 0 → 1, the flow hold flowIncomplete !== null 0 → 1, and the publish check heldEdit !== null 0 → 1.
- In metadataError.ts: export function objectHeldEdit 0 → 1 and export function flowHeldEdit 0 → 1.
- Controls: packages/data-objectstack/src/object-metadata-write-guard.ts and inspectors/flow-required-keys.ts are byte-identical on both sides, so the guard still holds the option-less save (objectui#11253) and the flow judge is unchanged.
Closures: the PR's only closing keyword was Fixes #11786, and this merge closed only objectui#11786 (04:02Z). The other issues closed since 03:13Z are other seats' merges. pm:dispatched is removed.
Follow-ups: none filed. Three items are in the PR's Acceptance notes, with no reach measured:
- the column drag-reorder and the Enabled switch still send an incomplete buffer;
- leaving the page with a held edit discards it without a prompt, as before;
- steps nested in a region are not held.
