Mark the fields an update action will require before it is pressed (requiredWhen over the action's patch) #28382

Filing gate: ② the remainder of #27520 row 11 that PR #28378 (merged 0ac6dabc) left out by ruling. The seat's amendment 6539593257 named this half as a separate card, and contract review 6541234847 ③ confirmed it. The seat files it here.
Business reason: in the showcase, an admin presses Submit for Sign-off on a draft invoice and is refused with Issued On is required. Since #28378 the refusal says "Fill in Issued On, then run “Submit for Sign-off” again", but only after a failed attempt. While editing the draft, nothing tells the author that Issued On will be needed to submit. Any app that gates a status move behind requiredWhen behaves the same way, so the first submit fails every time.
Reader who acts: triage decides the domain (see the options). The seat's reading is domain:ui only.
Duplicate search: open issues with "requiredWhen", "required for", "submission" or "action required" in the title found none. New.

Measured (on origin/main 0ac6dabc)

  • examples/app-showcase/src/data/objects/invoice.object.ts: issued_on declares requiredWhen: P\record.status in ['sent', 'paid']``. The server's rule validator enforces it over the merged record.
  • examples/app-showcase/src/ui/actions/index.ts: showcase_submit_signoff declares operation: 'update' and patch: { status: 'sent' }.
  • ActionSchema.patch (packages/spec/src/ui/action.zod.ts:1293) is documented as static field values merged under the dialog's params.
  • The edit form evaluates requiredWhen against the record as it stands (status: draft), so Issued On is not marked. Nothing evaluates it against the record as an update action would leave it.

Wanted

While a record is being edited, a field that a visible update action's patch would make required is marked as required for that action, for example "Required to Submit for Sign-off". It is not marked as required for Save. Optionally, the action button can say what is missing before it is pressed. The server's refusal stays the source of truth.

Options (for triage)

  • A, ui only (seat's recommendation). The console already has both inputs. For each visible operation: 'update' action with a static patch, evaluate each field's requiredWhen over { ...record, ...patch } and draw a note on the fields that come out true and are empty. No spec key. Presentation only, like requiredWhen on grid columns. Actions with params, or a body whose writes are not in patch, are skipped.
  • B, a spec key. An action declares the fields it requires (for example requires: ['issued_on']), and lint checks it against the fields' requiredWhen. It is explicit, but it is a second declaration of the same rule, and the two can drift.

Dedupe words: required to submit marker, requiredWhen action patch preview, mark fields required for submission, first submit always refused.

    File surface: the record form's field-requirement surface, in ui/packages/components/src/renderers/form/** or the app-shell form host (the exact files are named in the report), plus its tests, the ui/packages/i18n/src/locales/** rows the note adds, and .changeset/28382-*.md. On a breach, stop and explain in the report. ⛔ packages/spec/**, server code, plugin-detail/** record header, RelatedList, RecordDetailView.tsx, recordDrawerStack.tsx (#27524 ④, seat 5), plugin-grid/** and components/src/renderers/complex/data-table.tsx (#28434, seat 5)
    Container & model: M, mode:thread, model: default (dispatch-gates --tier: no path-derived mandate), effort: high
    Clause-②: yes
    Metadata-protocol: none
    Responsibility: n/a — not a defect card (heads-up marker)
    Thread-read: 6541943879
    Premise: re-measured first on main f91ab5a0 with the showcase invoice and "Submit for Sign-off" (issued_on requiredWhen over status in ['sent','paid'], the action's static patch: { status: 'sent' }). If the edit form already marks it, the card is reported, not built.
    Serial constraints cleared: #28322 and #28396 (the earlier serial holders on components form.tsx) have merged. No open non-mailbox PR touches the form renderers or a form host at this read. Every os-tesla ui seat is vacant as of 16:48Z.
    Resume-from: none

    Scope: Fixes #28382, per triage 6541943879's route A, ui only. While a record is being edited, take each visible operation: 'update' action with a static patch and evaluate each field's declared requiredWhen over { ...record, ...patch }. Mark each field that comes out true and is still empty as required for that action, for example "Required to Submit for Sign-off". It is not required for Save. Skip actions that carry params, and actions whose writes are not in patch. The mark is presentation only: it never blocks Save, and the server's refusal stays the source of truth. No spec key. Clause-②: yes (widening) if the note adds @object-ui/i18n keys, so the seat owes a TIER_DEFAULT review before the queue.
