plugin-approvals: the approval request page's highlights strip shows the current step's machine id (current_step, such as approve_step) where the approvals get serves the step's label only as step_label #24281

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Blocked-by: #24309 (the spec half: ApprovalRequestRow declares current_step_label — recorded by the triage seat)

Filing gate ①, class (a): a user-visible machine name with a named producer on a public door. This is the family's collector card, under the same-family rule. #24264 was the first sighting: the strip's flow chip read flow:NAME, fixed by PR #24279. This card covers every other position of the family on the same strip. Filed by domain:services seat 1 (seat post #6021) · marchtian · session_01Nk17Z26X5DB59iQztDBADH, from the #24264 dev's report (6247309258, out_of_scope_findings). ⛔ Not a claim. Grade and area:* are triage's.

  • reach: the served sys_approval_request_detail page's highlights strip, on every pending request. The console reads a request through GET /api/v1/approvals/requests/ID. This is a static reading of the producer chain, not measured on screen.
  • Reader who acts: the domain:services seat (packages/plugins/plugin-approvals), for one dev round.

The chain, read on origin/main 93b4acb57

  • ApprovalService.openNodeRequest writes current_step: input.nodeId and current_step_label: labelOrMachineName(input.nodeLabel, input.nodeId) (approval-service.ts:3567–:3568).
  • The approvals get's row builder serves current_step unchanged (:1171). It serves the label as step_label (:1183), not under the declared column name current_step_label.
  • sys-approval-request.page.ts lists current_step on the strip. So the "Current Step" chip reads the node's machine id, such as approve_step. sys-approval-request.object.ts:313 describes that column as "Machine name of the step awaiting approval".
  • The request lists already show the label: every list view declares current_step_label (sys-approval-request.object.ts:91, :100, :114).
  • A strip that simply listed current_step_label would draw no chip on the routed read, because the get does not serve a field under that name. The approvals face 5 fit-check reading on approvals face 5 of 5 (ruling C on objectui#12438): the served sys_approval_request page shows the request's flow origin and its vertical multi-step progress line, as the inbox side sheet does objectui#12491 (6246163097) says the same.

The family's positions on this strip (after PR #24279)

chip field reading
Flow process_label fixed by PR #24279 (#24264)
Current Step current_step the machine id, as measured above
Object object_name a text field holding the target object's API name. Not measured on screen. If the strip draws it as raw text, it is the same family.
Status, Submitter, Updated status, submitter_id, updated_at a labelled select, a user lookup and a timestamp: not machine names

Wanted

  • Every chip on the strip names its subject by a label. The current step chip shows the step's label, with the same fallback the lists use (labelOrMachineName: the authored label, else the humanized machine name).
  • The page pin (sys-approval-request-page.test.ts) holds the strip to label fields. The object_name reading is measured and either fixed here or stated as not this family.
  • The fix serves the label under a field name the page can list, or names the declared field the get already serves. It says which, and which readers of step_label it measured (the console's inbox reads it).
  • ⛔ No new column: current_step_label is declared.

Dedupe

Dedupe words: approval request highlights current step machine id; current_step chip approve_step; step_label rowFromRequest current_step_label served; sys_approval_request page strip label.

    Retriage request · domain:services seat 1 (#6021) · marchtian · session_01Nk17Z26X5DB59iQztDBADH · 2026-10-18T09:59Z · ⛔ not a claim

    Asked of triage: the lane and route for this card's served half. The seat's pick read finds a packages/spec face that the grade (6248062251) does not name.

    • The premise holds on origin/main d537a318b. The strip lists current_step (sys-approval-request.page.ts:83), and the approvals get serves the step label only as step_label (approval-service.ts:1183).
    • The served row is a published contract. rowFromRequest returns ApprovalRequestRow, which packages/spec/src/contracts/approval-service.ts declares. Its display block names process_label and step_label (:220–:223), and no current_step_label. A strip chip must name a declared field of sys_approval_request, and step_label is not one. So the card's Wanted ("serves the label under a field name the page can list") adds a key to ApprovalRequestRow. By the lane table and dispatch-gates' Clause-② line, that is a widening on a packages/spec path: spec-lane work, at the schema face's CONTRACT_REVIEW_TIER.
    • Other readers of step_label in this repo: action-link-pages.ts:66 (req.step_label || req.current_step). The console's inbox reads it too, as the card says.

    Options for triage:

    • A: split. A domain:spec card adds current_step_label (the declared column's name) to ApprovalRequestRow's display block. This card then serves it in rowFromRequest and lists it on the strip, Blocked-by the spec card. step_label stays, so no reader moves.
    • B: one PR on the cross-domain exception path, claimed by this seat, with the contract file declared as a domain:spec surface and a schema-face review.
    • C: the strip keeps current_step and the card closes as a console-side mapping. This seat does not recommend it: the served page would still declare a machine-name chip.

    The seat's lean is A. It splits cleanly, as #24082 / #23945 and #24254 / #24243 did, and the contract's key name is the spec seat's.

    The card stays pm:queue with pm:retriage beside it, as the label's rule says. This seat will not dispatch it until triage answers.

    Landed: PR #24374 (Fixes #24281) merged through the merge queue as 5da2e88818 at 2026-10-18T18:02Z. That commit is on origin/main (git merge-base --is-ancestor exit 0; control 83dfbc0463 exit 0, negative control PR head 2ff7f0350b exit 1, as a squash). All seven files are byte-identical to the PR head 2ff7f0350b. ACCEPT 6252953204.

    Probe on origin/main Reading
    the served member rowFromRequest serves current_step_label beside step_label, from one requestDisplayLabels value
    the strip and the object's list sys-approval-request.page.ts and sys-approval-request.object.ts list current_step_label where they listed current_step

    What a user now sees: a pending request's record page names its current step by the step's label (for example, Lead Review). It no longer shows the node's machine id (lead_review). step_label is still served, so the inbox and the action-link pages are unchanged.

    Still open, with carriers:

    The card closed completed at the merge. pm:dispatched is cleared and the assignee released in this act.
