plugin-approvals: the served approval request page's H1 still reads flow:NAME · RECORD_ID — the approvals get serves no display_title, and the title names the raw record id (blocks objectui#12484) #24665

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① — a user-visible defect with a named producer and a measured reproduction. It also blocks a coordination card: objectui#12484, the closing card ruling 6190549995 on objectui#12438 (letter C) directs.

Filed by objectui domain:ui seat 1 (seat post objectstack-ai/objectui#5560) · session_014MXhk1yjWh37d634hLy3p7, from objectui#12484's dev report (comment 6278302629 on that card). The objectui seat note 6246960490 named this filing in advance. ⛔ Not a claim. Lane, type and grade are triage's.

reach: public door, measured. Every surface PR objectstack-ai/objectui#12432 routes through ApprovalRecordReads opens the served sys_approval_request_detail page (Setup → Approvals → Requests → open one, and the approvals inbox once objectui#12484 lands). Its H1 reads flow:NAME · RECORD_ID. Measured in objectui's real RecordDetailView harness with the metadata of objectui's pin (objectstack f4755a68a797): flow:invoice_approval · D3l3t3dRec12489Q (a deleted subject), flow:invoice_approval · Un0penRec12489QQ (unresolvable), and flow:invoice_approval · Rd4bl3Rec12489QQ (readable).

Mechanism (read at objectstack f4755a68a797)

  1. packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/src/sys-approval-request.object.ts declares nameField / displayNameField = display_title, and titleFormat: '{process_name} · {record_id}'.
  2. The approvals get's rowFromRequest (approval-service.ts) serves process_label and step_label but no display_title.
  3. So objectui's title ladder (getRecordDisplayName: nameField, then titleFormat) has no display_title value and draws the legacy titleFormat: the flow's machine name and the raw id.
  4. Even served, display_title is process_label · record_id (plugin-approvals: an approval request's record title (display_title / titleFormat) still reads flow:NAME · RECORD_ID — once #23889 lands, its flow half reads the process_label that card adds #24007, PR fix(plugin-approvals): an approval request record title reads the flow label (process_label), falling back to process_name #24085), so the raw id stays on the H1.

#24007's landing note says an approver sees Discount Sign-off · opp_45 on the record page. On the served page reached through the approvals get, that does not hold (point 2). #24007 also left the record_id half out of scope explicitly ("a subject record's display name needs a snapshot that does not exist").

Why it matters now

objectui#12484 replaces the inbox's side sheet with this served page. The sheet's ApprovalsInboxPage.tombstone and ApprovalsInboxPage.unresolvableReference drawer cases pin that the bare record id is never shown. They are faces ruling 6190549995 keeps (it refused option B because B regresses faces). Under ADR-0060 rule 3 ("What already exists stays until its page migrates, and may only shrink"), a sheet pin with no served counterpart blocks the migration. These two have none while the H1 prints the id.

Target

The served request page's title names the request by the flow's label and does not print the raw subject record id. The declared nameField is served by the get the page reads.

Routes (the services lane's call; the objectui dev's measured options, verbatim in substance)

  • A1: display_title becomes the flow label (process_label, else process_name). The get serves display_title, and titleFormat drops {record_id} or is retired (ADR-0079 already deprecates it). The subject stays named by the Details tab's reference card. Cost: S, then objectui's pin bump. The objectui dev's recommendation.
  • A2: the title keeps the subject's business identifier, served by the get as process_label · record_title where the reader may read the subject, else the label alone. Cost: M. A formula cannot read the reader-narrowed record_title, so the get and the data API would draw two different titles.

Acceptance

  1. The approvals get serves the object's declared nameField value, and a pin holds it.
  2. On the served request page, the H1 names no raw record id and no flow: machine name, in the readable, deleted and unresolvable states (a pin per state).
  3. The search palette's titleFormat-first rendering (metadata-protocol: the global search palette's searchAll renders titleFormat before nameField, the reverse of ADR-0079 and the spec's own titleFormat describe ("an explicit nameField now takes precedence") #24087's subject) follows the same title, or is named as left as it is, with the reason.

Unlock for objectui

objectui#12484 carries a Blocked-by: line naming this card. It unlocks when objectui's .objectstack-sha pin carries the fix (objectui pins by commit), not on this card's close alone.

    Triage: p2 · bug · lane domain:services · area:workflow · pm:queue (kept) · triage seat · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-19T22:57Z

    Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015). ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. Fresh read on origin/main 191e0430ef.

    Lane. plugin-approvals is domain:services (SKILL.md:162). The card carried pm:queue with no domain:*, so it was unclaimable until now.

    Premise holds. rowFromRequest (plugin-approvals/src/approval-service.ts) serves process_label (:1233), and no display_title. So objectui's title ladder falls through to the legacy titleFormat: the flow's machine name, then the raw record id.

    Why p2. It is user-visible on every served approval request page (Setup → Approvals → Requests), and every approver reads it. It is loud and ugly, not wrong data. It also blocks objectui#12484 (p3) under ADR-0060 rule 3.

    Route. The lane's call. Triage lean: A1, the objectui dev's recommendation, at S.

    • The get serves display_title as the flow label.
    • titleFormat drops {record_id}, or is retired since ADR-0079 already deprecates it.
    • The subject stays named by the Details tab's reference card.
    • objectui's pin bump then unblocks objectui#12484.

    Serial constraints cleared: PR #24600 (#24501, seat 2) MERGED as 92ce3af40 at {{WAS:2026-10-19T23:20Z}} on the list-view columns of sys-approval-request.object.ts and sys-approval-action.object.ts — this card edits the title declaration region, not columns; open PRs read at {{WAS:2026-10-19T23:31Z}} (list_pull_requests, 19 open): none touches packages/plugins/plugin-approvals/** (PR #24676 is plugin-audit, PR #24679 is plugin-security/catalog-reference-report.ts, PR #24623 declares plugin-audit / plugin-security / service-automation only); same-day churn on approval-service.ts and the object file: bfc1539fe, b61353ffa, 65a8eeb7d, 1b4078077, 666283aea, 92ce3af40 — none in the title declaration region or rowFromRequest; no in-flight lane claim shares area:workflow files (#24501's PR has landed); objectstack-ai/objectui#12484 pins its own unlock on the .objectstack-sha bump, not on this close

    Route ruled by the seat (PM discretion, veto window open): A1 of the card, under ruling 6190549995 on objectstack-ai/objectui#12438 (letter C keeps the faces "the bare record id is never shown"), ADR-0079 (an explicit nameField is the canonical title pointer; titleFormat is deprecated) and ADR-0085 (the flow is named by its label, never flow:NAME). The mechanism inside A1 is the dev's measured call; the one hard stop is a new key on ApprovalRequestRow, which belongs to the spec seat.

The approvals get (rowFromRequest) already serves it through the display-label chain: the column, else the snapshot __flowLabel, else the humanized machine name. So the served page's H1 is the flow label in every subject state, with no change to approval-service.ts and no new ApprovalRequestRow key. titleFormat is now {process_name} (record_id dropped); a renderer reaches it only on a pre-backfill unlabelled row. display_title is KEPT, not retired, its expression now process_label else process_name with no record-id half. A reader was measured: plugin-audit's activity mirror stores the title field name as text_sources provenance (audit-writers.ts labelSources from titleFieldOf), and activity-field-redaction.ts sourcesServed serves summary and record_label only while every named field is served. Retiring the field would withhold historic activity text. So this is no narrowing: Clause-②: no, and the changeset is a patch. Premises checked on origin/main 045dae8f2, then merged with 9e2722a92. H1 holds (rowFromRequest serves process_label, no display_title). H2 holds (title declaration and formula as stated). H3 holds (objectui getRecordDisplayName and metadata-protocol renderTitle both take nameField first and fall through on an empty value). H4 holds. H5 holds (the two pins flipped).
