metadata-protocol: duplicatePackage leaves two names out of step with the renamed objects: a field named after a prefixed object keeps its key under a renamed name, and a bare object's view item keeps its OBJECT.VIEWKEY name #23538
Description
Blocked-by: #23537
Filing gate ①, finding classes (a) and (b), one family card for two defects. Filed by domain:spec seat 1 (#6017) · huangyiirene · session session_01YRp5z4kK6vgYkrdH97ztsy, from #23527's dev report (PR #23536, out-of-scope findings 1 and 3). They are carried on one card under the filing gate's per-fire quota. ⛔ Not a claim. Grade and lane are triage's.
reach: the named producer ObjectStackProtocolImplementation.duplicatePackage (the method the packages duplicate route calls), on a real kernel (ObjectKernel + ObjectQLPlugin, memory driver) at PR #23536's head ee862ff9d. The HTTP door was not driven.
Reader who acts: triage, to grade and route. Both fixes land in duplicatePackage (packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.ts), in the same region as PR #23536 (#23527), so they land after it. The two items can go as one PR or two.
1. A field named after a prefixed object gets a renamed name under its old key (class a)
Measured. The source object dupsrc_customer has fields keyed dupsrc_customer and x_dupsrc_customer. The copy dupdst_customer keeps both KEYS, but their name values change:
dupsrc_customergetsname: 'dupdst_customer';x_dupsrc_customergetsname: 'x_dupdst_customer'.
The free-text rewrite matches a string value equal to an object name, and its regex has a right identifier boundary but no left one. The stored body and the registry agree.
The data plane addresses the column by the key:
engine.insert('dupdst_customer', { dupsrc_customer })is stored;{ dupdst_customer }is refusedINVALID_FIELD Unknown field 'dupdst_customer' on object 'dupdst_customer'.
The save door's security-fls-unknown-field lint reads the name. So once PR #23536 lands, a copied permission set with a rule on such a field is refused at the copy (failed author-time validation … [security-fls-unknown-field]), where before it copied fail-open.
Done: a copied field's key and name agree, through either the same rename or none. Pin it on a real kernel, with a negative control: a field whose name merely contains the source prefix in the middle keeps both.
2. A bare object's view item keeps its OBJECT.VIEWKEY name (class b)
Seam: spec:ViewItemNameSchema (OBJECT.VIEWKEY) → runtime:ObjectStackProtocolImplementation.duplicatePackage (renameName on a non-object row name) | consumer: a by-name view read naming no package
The contract (packages/spec/src/ui/view.zod.ts): "Qualified view-item identity: <object>.<viewKey> … the object can be recovered from the prefix, so the registry key never collides across objects."
Measured.
- The source view items
ticket.board(objectticket, a bare object name) anddupsrc_customer.boardare stored. - The copy rows are
com.qa.dupdst:ticket.boardwithobject: dupdst_ticket, andcom.qa.dupdst:dupdst_customer.boardwithobject: dupdst_customer. The prefixed case is consistent; the bare case keeps the source object's prefix while its body names the copy. protocol.getMetaItem({ type: 'view', name: 'ticket.board' }), naming no package, serves the SOURCE row (object: ticket), so the copy is shadowed.
Done: the copy of a bare object's view item takes the renamed object's prefix (dupdst_ticket.board). Pin it on a real kernel, with a negative control: a view item of an object outside the package keeps its name.
Noted, not measured (read from the code): a view-item id inside a value (for example a form-view target) keeps a bare object's name in the copy.
Dedupe
MCP search_issues on objectstack-ai/objectstack, closed included: duplicatePackage field name half-renamed key name mismatch free-text regex left boundary view item name OBJECT.VIEWKEY bare object not renamed → 7 hits:
- metadata-protocol: duplicatePackage leaves a copied permission set's
fieldskeys (OBJECT.FIELD) naming the SOURCE object, so the duplicate's field-level security applies to the source #23527 (open): permissionfieldskeys. - metadata: a view container with a bare list on another package's object silently replaces that object's packaged default view on GET /meta/view?object= — while the by-name read still serves the original #21334, finding(metadata-protocol): on an unscoped kernel, a package-bound stored row of a view name two packages ship is hydrated into the registry's bare slot, so a by-name read naming the other package serves that row's body under its own _packageId #22057, finding(metadata-protocol): getMetaItem naming no package grafts the first-registered package's artifact envelope onto another package's served view expansion, so a no-package by-name read can carry the wrong _packageId #22024 (closed): view container and served-view reads, not the duplicate.
- [finding] duplicatePackage validates its DERIVED namespace but takes an explicit targetNamespace raw — and that value is spliced into every copied object name, which the object-name regex then refuses #19577 (closed):
targetNamespacevalidation. - The object write door still runs no field-existence rule for searchableFields or listViews — the same asymmetry #15254 closed one key over #15495, [finding] Two
packages/specnotes still cite objectui's retiredaccessorKey || namedata-table accessor #14166 (closed): unrelated.
None of them is either item here.
Dedupe words: duplicatePackage field key name mismatch; free-text regex no left boundary; duplicate view item name bare object not renamed; copied view item shadowed by source.
