records: a text field accepts an object or an array on create, PATCH and screen-flow resume and stores its JSON text (201/200), although the type's stored shape is a string

立卡门类别: ① 产品缺陷 — 具名落点 (packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts, the BOUNDED_STRING_FIELD_TYPES branch) + 复现.
reach: 公开入口实测一次错误结果 — POST /api/v1/data/showcase_task with title: {"nested":true} answers 201 and stores the string {"nested":true} (stock showcase boot at 7fa9873, reproduced twice on two records).
业务理由: an integration or an AI-authored client that sends the wrong shape (a lookup object, a multi-select array) into a text field gets a success and a corrupted record: the title or assignee now reads as JSON text in every list, search and report, and nothing tells the caller. The number arm of the same validator refuses the wrong shape since #20309; the string arm does not. Not doing it: wrong-shaped writes keep landing silently and are found later by a person reading garbage.
动手的读者: the domain:server seat (objectql); triage first touch confirms the lane, then os-dev.
查重: text field accepts object stores JSON → 158 hits, record validator text arm → 266, string field object value 200 stored → 429, text field object value stored stringified → 11 (all incl. closed): none is this. Nearest: #20309 (closed, the number arm's twin). Not among the wave-4 cards.

QA-source: #29124 · automation.screen-flow-roundtrip · observed beside the clauses

What happens. The string branch of the record validator begins "A string type's stored shape is a string", then reads const s = typeof value === 'string' ? value : String(value) and checks only bounds, domain and format. A non-string value is never refused as invalid_type, and the driver stores its JSON text.

Reproduction (stock showcase, admin):

POST /api/v1/data/showcase_task {"project":"‹project id›","title":{"nested":true},"assignee":["a","b"]} → 201. Re-read: title = string {"nested":true}, assignee = string ["a","b"].
PATCH /api/v1/data/showcase_task/‹id› {"assignee":{"a":1}} → 200, stored {"a":1}.
The same through a screen flow: resume showcase_reassign_wizard with {"inputs":{"new_assignee":{"a":1}}} → 200, the run completes and the task's assignee becomes {"a":1}. (The screen's text is a widget hint by design, spec: a flow screen field cannot express a numeric bound, help text, or a lookup target — three intents that degrade into prose in the reference app #17306; the gap is the record write.)

Expected: 400 VALIDATION_FAILED with an invalid_type entry on title / assignee, as the number arm answers for a non-number.
Actual: 201/200 and the JSON text is stored.

Full evidence: QA run record #29124.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. The fix lands in the BOUNDED_STRING_FIELD_TYPES branch of packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts, which coerces with String(value) instead of refusing a non-string as invalid_type, so domain:server. It is p2 as a user-visible behaviour defect: a create, PATCH or screen-flow resume with an object or array in a text field returns 201/200 and stores JSON text. It is a concrete defect with a named location and a repro, so pm:queue; the closed number-arm twin record validator's number arm accepts any value whose Number() is finite, so POST /api/v1/data with a number field [500] answers 201 and driver-sql stores the text '[500]' #20309 is not an open duplicate.

Account: os-steve
Branch: claude/project-thread-0whijd (the card thread's harness-pinned branch; it names no issue, so this claim is the identity record)
Worktree: the card thread's own
Domain: domain:server
Seat: domain:server#1
File surface: the string arm of the record validator in packages/objectql/src/validation/record-validator.ts (BOUNDED_STRING_FIELD_TYPES), its tests and a @objectstack/objectql changeset. ⛔ No packages/spec/**, no new error code, no new gate. (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S, mode:thread, model as the thread was opened, effort: medium
Clause-②: no (narrowing) (expected: an object or array written to a text-family field, accepted 201/200 on main, is refused invalid_type; the dev measures)
Metadata-protocol: none (expected)
Responsibility: the code is the record validator of @objectstack/objectql · the platform path is a create/PATCH/screen-flow resume storing JSON text in a string field · reached by every API, integration or AI client that sends the wrong shape, today
Thread-read: 6572514209
Premise: holds (seat read on main d659c1d; the dev re-measures on base first)
Serial constraints cleared: No open PR touches record-validator.ts (seat read over the open claude/ PRs, 08:26Z).

Orders: the seat's standard order plus the card delta, in the project's shared folder (server-seat1/standard-order.md, server-seat1/29133-delta.md).

Follow-ups from the review's should-fix: records: a number or a boolean written to a text-family field is admitted on its string reading but stored as the raw number/boolean, so a text column hands back 42, not "42" #29241 (numbers / booleans on text fields judged ≠ stored), records: a free-form select field (no options) admits a plain object or an array on create and stores it as-is, although a select's stored value is a scalar option value #29244 (free-form select admits a plain object; re-home the two 写入载荷里的算子对象:text 型字段不做类型校验,{ title: { $in: [...] } } 原样写进库(number 型会响亮拒绝) #5922 pins). Both await triage.
