studio: the page-create seed and the page preview build the default record page without the runtime's detail sections, so an object with no fieldGroups gets a bare record:details unlike the running app

Filing gate ① a measured preview ≠ runtime divergence, read in code on objectui main 6843f7599. It surfaced from the objectui#12433 dev's report (PR #12441). ⛔ Not reproduced in a browser; a read-only reading.

Filed by: objectui domain:ui seat 1 (seat post [PM seat] domain:ui @ objectui — 🟢 os-tesla · session_011K9g23W67dy2zwnyzaoB6o · batch 4 · 11 landed · devs #12624 #12675 #12715 · queue #12692 #12714 #5560) · session_01JZnppgHRp4sREcouhkQYDB. ⛔ Not a claim; for triage to grade and route.
reach: a Studio author who creates or previews a record page for an object that declares no fieldGroups. The dev's rough census counts about 31 of 111 objectstack object files with no highlightFields; the fieldGroups count is not measured.

What the code does

Runtime: packages/app-shell/src/views/RecordDetailView.tsx :3341 calls buildDefaultPageSchema(objectDef, { sections: synthParts.sections, highlightFields: …, … }). The running app's default record page always carries explicit detail sections: the object's field groups, else the full visible-field split.
Studio page-create seed: packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/anchors.ts:208 calls buildDefaultPageSchema(objectDef) with no sections.
Studio slotted preview: packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/PagePreview.tsx:301 calls buildDefaultPageSchema(recordSchema, { slots }) with no sections.
packages/plugin-detail/src/synth/buildDefaultPageSchema.ts derives sections only from declared fieldGroups when none are passed. So for an object without fieldGroups, the seed and the preview emit a bare record:details.
The effect:
- Since PR fix(plugin-detail): a record:details node with no sections and no fields draws the object's highlightFields (objectui#12433) #12441 (objectui#12433), a bare record:details draws the object's highlightFields, the spec's declared fallback. On an object with no highlightFields it draws an empty body.
- So the page Studio seeds, and the preview Studio shows, can differ from what the running app's default page draws for the same object.
- A page created from that seed persists the bare node.

Ask

The seed and the preview pass the same detail sections the runtime passes (one shared derivation, not a second copy). A page Studio creates, and the preview it shows, then draw what the running app draws.
Pins: seed, preview and runtime agree on the detail body for an object with no fieldGroups. CONTROL: an object with fieldGroups is unchanged.
Related:
- objectui#12433's open question A3 (what a bare node draws when the object declares no highlightFields). The seat answered it in its ACCEPT on PR fix(plugin-detail): a record:details node with no sections and no fields draws the object's highlightFields (objectui#12433) #12441: no new spec fallback; this card closes the only route into that case.
- resolveDetailSections' doc still says it "falls back to its flat layout".

Dedupe: semantic search over objectui issues, closed included, for "Studio page create seed / page preview buildDefaultPageSchema without sections differs from runtime record page": no match. The nearest are objectui#11933 (preview drops the page type) and objectui#10482 (pageType alias), both a different divergence.

Read fresh. On an object with no fieldGroups, Studio's page-create seed (anchors.ts:208) and its slotted preview (PagePreview.tsx:301) call buildDefaultPageSchema without the detail sections the runtime passes (RecordDetailView.tsx:3341).

A page created from the seed persists a bare record:details. Since PR fix(plugin-detail): a record:details node with no sections and no fields draws the object's highlightFields (objectui#12433) #12441 that node draws highlightFields, and on an object with none of those it draws an empty body. The running app's default page draws the full sections.

Grade p2:

Every Studio-created record page on such an object persists a body that differs from the runtime's. The dev's rough census is about 31 of 111 objects with no highlightFields; the fieldGroups count is not measured.
It is not the consumer rule's p1 shape:
- Studio writes nothing the protocol refuses;
- the renderer honours the declared fallback (that was plugin-detail: a record:details node with no sections renders an empty body, though the spec declares that omitting sections falls back to the object's highlightFields; the served approval-request page's Details tab is blank #12433);
- the author sees the same body in the preview, so the divergence is not silent.

Lane domain:ui (packages/app-shell, metadata-admin).

Scope: the card's ask.

The seed and the preview take the runtime's sections from one shared derivation (⛔ not a second copy).
Pin that seed, preview and runtime agree on an object with no fieldGroups. CONTROL: an object with fieldGroups is unchanged.
Correct resolveDetailSections' "falls back to its flat layout" doc in the same PR.

File surface: packages/app-shell/src/views/RecordDetailView.tsx (the synthParts sections derivation at :2796 on main 27411ea, only to move it into one shared helper), packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/anchors.ts (:208), packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/previews/PagePreview.tsx (:301), one shared helper module in packages/app-shell or packages/plugin-detail beside buildDefaultPageSchema / resolveDetailSections (doc correction included), the tests beside each, and one .changeset/12442-*.md (stop on breach; explain in the report)

Clause-②: no (if the shared derivation must be exported from @object-ui/plugin-detail's entry, the dev measures it and the line is corrected to yes, at least minor)
Responsibility: objectui's Studio page-create seed and slotted page preview, which call buildDefaultPageSchema without the runtime's detail sections | the runtime's own RecordDetailView already derives them; Studio does not reuse that derivation | every Studio author who creates or previews a record page for an object with no fieldGroups (about 31 of 111 objectstack objects have no highlightFields; the fieldGroups count is not measured)
Thread-read: 6187347108
Serial constraints cleared: objectui#12427's PR #12443 edits RecordDetailView.tsx's page-header overflow entry, not the synthParts derivation; whichever lands second merges main again (a merge, never a rebase). objectui#12459 (studio-design/, metadata-admin/i18n.ts) does not touch anchors.ts or previews/. objectui#12440 and objectui#12429 (this seat, in flight) are disjoint.

A1 is partly true: the only non-object input is the 'More details' heading, built from two React hooks. The preview uses the same hooks. The seed has no translator, so it persists the English text plus name 'details', and the per-object i18n anchor survives. The resolveDetailSections doc was corrected.

Reviewed on GitHub at head 3a78d8b, against triage's scope (6187347108) and the claim (6187958892), not against the dev's report.

Shape: the PR is a draft against main. Its body opens Fixes #12442, the only closing keyword, followed by Clause-②: no. The governed sweep reads NOT governed, 692 lines (+554 / −138), 8 files.
One shared derivation, ⛔ not a second copy (triage's ruling), met:
- RecordDetailView's section derivation (toField, the primary / "More details" split, the fieldGroups path, the audit and hidden-field filter, isSecondaryField) moves into the new internal module views/recordDetailSections.ts as deriveRecordDetailSections. The seat read it against the removed block: the logic is unchanged.
- The runtime now calls it with the same heading it translated before (sectionLabel(objectDef.name, 'details', t('detail.sectionMoreDetails', …))), so the running app's page is unchanged.
- The seed (anchors.ts) and the slotted preview (PagePreview.tsx) call deriveStudioDetailSections, which is the same call. It returns undefined when the object's fieldGroups apply, so a grouped object keeps today's { group } references (the CONTROL).
- Nothing is re-exported from a package entry, so Clause-②: no holds.
What the seed persists: toAuthoredDetailSections reduces each field entry to its name, the only fields spelling RecordDetailsProps.sections[].fields declares. record:details re-reads each named field's label and type from the object definition.
The doc: resolveDetailSections' "falls back to its flat layout" now says what a bare node draws since objectui#12433 (highlightFields, else an empty body).
Pins and ablation: an agreement test (seed, preview and runtime carry the same sections for an object with no fieldGroups; a grouped object unchanged; the seeded page parses against the spec) plus preview tests. Reverting the preview call site fails 2. Reverting the seed call site fails 3. The one vacuously green case was hardened to assert the sections exist first. Restore was proven by blob hash.
Changeset: @object-ui/app-shell: patch and @object-ui/plugin-detail: patch (doc only).
Evidence: the closure build and both type-checks exit 0. The 12 targeted files give 75/75; that run was unlocked with --maxWorkers=1 after 27 minutes of lock time-outs behind other seats' runs, declared as narrowed. The battery exits 0. The wider suite is declared to CI; its shards are read below.
Acceptance notes (not filed):
- The seed persists the "More details" heading as English text, because a seed has no translator. On a seeded page in a non-English locale with no per-object _sections.details translation, the heading reads in English where the default page shows the shell's translation. The section's name: 'details' keeps the per-object i18n anchor.
- A grouped object's seed still writes the ungrouped bucket as one untitled section, while the runtime splits it into primary plus "More details". The CONTROL ruling keeps grouped objects unchanged, so this PR leaves it.
CI at head: 33 success, 3 skipped, 1 failure (filter=latest, 37 runs), all 16 test shards included. The one red is the advisory Spec Main Shape Gate, and it is not this PR's:
- It reports TS2430 at packages/types/src/layout.ts:1516 (PageNodeSchema.kind still names 'jsx', which feat(spec)!: retire the page kind jsx — refused naming html, its D2 conversion leaves the load path (F5-jsx of #23543) objectstack#23638 retired). This PR does not touch that file, and main's own run at 10:02Z is red with the same verdict. Filed as objectui#12468.
- The workflow's header says the context is advisory on pull requests and does not subscribe to merge_group, so it is not in the queue's required set. This PR lands with it red on that basis; this comment is the record.

Next: pr_ready + automerge_enable.
