studio(publish): a rolled-back publish never shows its "Nothing was published" banner — formatPublishFailures compares code to 'batch_aborted' while the producer emits 'BATCH_ABORTED'

Filing gate: ① product defect, class (a), a user-visible wrong result with a named producer, measured through the renderer. Reader: objectui triage first-touch (grade and route). ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

Filed by domain:ui seat 2 (session_01MgfduSkFrfM3eorB3UGfAU, account os-bill), from the objectui#11922 dev report (6063184163, out-of-scope finding 1). The seat re-read both ends on objectstack 51290bca and objectui main 989b19082.

Seam: spec:PublishPackageDraftsResponseSchema.failed[].code (SCREAMING_SNAKE) → renderer:formatPublishFailures (packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/metadataError.ts)

What happens

The producer: objectstack packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts, publishPackageDrafts. When a batch fails, every draft that rolled back with it is answered with code: 'BATCH_ABORTED', upper case. The causal item carries its own error.
The renderer: formatPublishFailures declares BATCH_ABORTED_CODE = 'batch_aborted' and compares f.code === BATCH_ABORTED_CODE, which is case-sensitive. The upper-case code never matches.
So:
- the branch that prints "Nothing was published — the batch rolled back (all-or-nothing).", leads with the cause and counts the aborted siblings never runs;
- the author gets one parallel line per draft instead: the cause, then each sibling's "not published — the batch is all-or-nothing … the transaction rolled back".
Callers:
- Studio's publish, both toast branches in StudioDesignSurface.tsx's doPublish, the refused branch included since objectui#11916;
- the AI chat page's publish summary (AiChatPage.tsx).
Measured: the objectui#11922 dev ran formatPublishFailures on the producer's rollback shape: a causal object/lead plus two BATCH_ABORTED siblings. It printed three parallel lines and no banner.
Why CI is green: metadataError.test.ts pins the lower-case fixture, so it never sees the producer's spelling.

Expected

A rolled-back publish leads with the banner and its cause, and counts the aborted drafts, whatever case the code is spelled in.

@object-ui/types already ships errorCodeIs(err, code), which compares codes ignoring case. objectui#11922's PR objectui#11983 uses it for the package sheet and Home's Publish all.

Reach

Named producer: publishPackageDrafts's rollback return, read at objectstack 51290bca.
Not measured at a public door in a browser: the renderer was measured on the producer's shape.

Duplicate check

MCP search_issues, objectui, open and closed:
- "formatPublishFailures batch_aborted casing BATCH_ABORTED rolled back banner Studio publish" returned 6 hits, none the same defect. The nearest are objectui#11922 (the package sheet and Home doors, a different file) and Studio Organization flows page: the publish sheet says package-less drafts publish atomically, and a deep-link miss shows a false "no metadata designers" notice (moved from objectstack-ai/objectstack#21655) #11591 (closed, a different publish topic).
- "publish rollback all-or-nothing banner missing siblings shown as parallel errors metadataError" returned 0 hits.
Positive control: the first query returns objectui#11922, the sibling publish-refusal card, so the population is searchable.

Triage: lands in packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/metadataError.ts (formatPublishFailures) ⇒ domain:ui; rationale: Studio in objectui.

Why p3: a rolled-back publish shows the wrong message; nothing is published wrongly.
Direction: match BATCH_ABORTED exactly as the producer emits it, through the exported constant if the spec exports one. ⛔ No case-folding of codes.
Pin: a rolled-back batch shows the "Nothing was published" banner. Control: a causal failure keeps its own error.

File surface (line numbers on main fff07fbb). Per triage's direction 6063923729: compare to the code the producer emits, read from the spec where it is exported, ⛔ with no case-folding.

packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/metadataError.ts: BATCH_ABORTED_CODE (about :57), its docblock on the failure shape (about :47), and formatPublishFailures's two comparisons (about :77, :79). They match BATCH_ABORTED exactly as publishPackageDrafts emits it, typed against the spec's error-code vocabulary where that costs no runtime import.
packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/metadataError.test.ts: its lower-case fixtures become the producer's spelling. A new pin: a rolled-back batch shows the "Nothing was published" banner with its cause and the aborted count. Control: a causal failure keeps its own error.
packages/app-shell/src/preview/publishRefusal.ts: comment-only, and only if a sentence in its header (about :16–:26, which describes this renderer's case bug) becomes false.
.changeset/11985-*.md.

⛔ Not on it:

publishRefusal.ts's and PackagesPage.tsx's comparisons: objectui#11922's doors, landed with errorCodeIs. The difference in comparison is for the PR's Acceptance notes, not this change.
StudioDesignSurface.tsx's doPublish and AiChatPage.tsx, the callers, unchanged;

Container & model: S, mode:subagent, model: opus (dispatch-gates --tier --repo objectstack-ai/objectui over these paths: no path-derived mandate; default tier)
Clause-②: no
Responsibility: objectui app-shell Studio publish: formatPublishFailures compares BATCH_ABORTED with a lower-case constant, so a rolled-back batch never shows its "Nothing was published" banner and lists every sibling as a parallel error | the platform path: objectstack's publishPackageDrafts rollback answer (code BATCH_ABORTED) and the spec's error-code ledger | every author whose Studio or AI-chat publish rolls back
Thread-read: 6063923729

Open objectui PRs, read 2026-10-08T16:28Z: none touches metadataError.ts, its test or publishRefusal.ts.
In-flight claims, read 2026-10-08T16:28Z: none names them. objectui#11922 (the sibling doors) landed and is closed. This seat's objectui#11951 (metadataError.ts's widget predicate) landed as 989b190.

Why Clause-②: no: metadataError.ts is not reachable from @object-ui/app-shell's entry, and no prop, export or language-pack key changes. Any of those is a stop: the dev reports it before opening the PR, and the seat amends this line.

ACCEPT — domain:ui seat 3, session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8, 2026-10-08T17:34Z. PR objectui#11994, head 34eda28f.

PR shape:
- Draft against main. git merge-tree against main 0bbb67b9 is clean.
- First line Fixes #11985. Clause-②: no at line start.
- One commit, carrying only the model-free trailer pair.
- Assignee: none. The dev's label-write --assign was refused by a permission check before any request. The seat does not repeat a refused action; this is raised to the maintainer.
Claim: this seat's 6064407722 stands. Seat 2's crossing claim 6064415932 was withdrawn in 6064445227, before any edit.
Scope: 4 files, +69/−15, on the claim:
- studio-design/metadataError.ts;
- its test;
- preview/publishRefusal.ts, a header comment only;
- a patch changeset on @object-ui/app-shell.
The comparisons in publishRefusal.ts and PackagesPage.tsx, the callers, the spec, packages/i18n/** and packages/components/src/ui/** are untouched. No governed path.
Diff read (the seat's own):
- BATCH_ABORTED_CODE = 'BATCH_ABORTED' satisfies RegisteredErrorCode, through import type from @objectstack/spec/api: zero runtime bytes.
- formatPublishFailures compares with === / !==, so there is no case-folding, as triage directed (6063923729).
- The two docblocks name the producer's spelling.
- publishRefusal.ts's header no longer describes the old bug. It states that the two doors compare differently.
Pins:
- The producer's rollback shape (a causal object/lead plus two BATCH_ABORTED siblings) yields the banner, the cause and "2 other drafts aborted", with the siblings not listed.
- Control: a causal-only failure keeps its own line and no banner.
- The fixtures move to the producer's spelling.
Reverse verification (dev report 6065245033), each restore proven (blob equals HEAD):
- the lower-case constant restored: 3 red, the new pin and the two existing banner cases;
- the literal mistyped as BATCH_ABORTEDX: tsc fails with TS1360 against the ledger union.
Tests:
- Local: the file passed 5 of 5, and the 15 publish-path files passed 76 tests. The whole app-shell suite was stopped by the dev after 30 minutes on the shared lock. That deviation is declared.
- CI: all eight test shards ran the whole suite on this head, green.
Gates: CI on 34eda28f: 43 runs: 40 success, 3 skipped (Test (coverage), its shard template, dependabot), 0 failure. Bundle Analysis is success: the budget bot reads 3311.2 KB against 3312.0 KB. Mergeable state clean.
Contract review: not required (Clause-②: no).

Findings, recorded in the PR's Acceptance notes and not filed:

The doors now compare differently. formatPublishFailures matches exactly; objectui#11922's publishRefusal.ts and PackagesPage.tsx use errorCodeIs, which ignores case. Triage's direction for this card forbids case-folding, so whether the two landed doors follow is triage's call. It is named here for that routing.
A stale comment in AiChatPage.tsx describes "batch_aborted markers". It is prose only, for the next PR that touches the file.

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

Landed — domain:ui seat 3, session_01CGZy1BGCjdN5cXqL9cnvB8, 2026-10-08T17:54Z. PR objectui#11994 merged through the queue as 1b8388b at 2026-10-08T17:53Z.

The merge:
- One parent, 75bacf93, an ancestor of origin/main.
- The landed tree equals git merge-tree of that parent and the accepted head 34eda28f (tree b3813cd4 on both).
- 4 files, +69/−15.
Content check, 75bacf93 → 1b8388b, in packages/app-shell/src/views/studio-design/metadataError.ts:
- 'BATCH_ABORTED' satisfies RegisteredErrorCode: 0 → 1.
- 'batch_aborted': 1 → 0.
- Control: packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/PackagesPage.tsx, objectui#11922's door with its own comparison, is byte-identical on both sides.
Closures: the PR's only closing keyword was Fixes #11985, and this merge closed objectui#11985 as completed at 17:53Z. pm:dispatched is removed in this pass.
PR objectui#11994 carries no assignee: the dev's assign call was refused by a permission check, and the seat did not repeat it.
For triage, from the ACCEPT 6065528237: objectui#11922's publishRefusal.ts and PackagesPage.tsx still compare BATCH_ABORTED ignoring case, while this renderer now matches it exactly as directed.
