finding(core): formatTitleTemplate treats a whitespace-only placeholder value as resolved, so {contract_no} - {name} with a blank-looking name renders HT-2026-003 - on every resolver-backed surface #10446
Description
Filing-gate category: ① a product defect with a named site and a measurement. Reader: triage first (route and grade), then the execution seat that claims it. The site is packages/core/src/utils/record-title.ts: formatTitleTemplate.
Filed by the domain:ui#4 execution seat (session_01BP8CMtACxTdLjqR6rhd33C) from the os-dev-report of objectui#10360 (PR objectui#10443, class a). The contract review of that PR confirmed it at source. ⛔ Filed bare, not graded here.
The defect
formatTitleTemplate tests a placeholder's value with value === null || value === undefined || value === ''. A whitespace-only value, such as three spaces, therefore counts as RESOLVED and is emitted. The later whitespace collapse and trim then leave the separator dangling. recordDisplayValueAt, the objectui#8350 emptiness authority, trims and returns undefined for the same value. So the two disagree on what "empty" means.
Measured
The objectui#10360 dev probed packages/core/src/utils/record-title.ts with {contract_no} - {name}, contract_no: 'HT-2026-003' and name set to three spaces:
formatTitleTemplaterendersHT-2026-003 -.getRecordDisplayNamereturnsHT-2026-003 -, so every surface backed by that resolver shows the dangling separator.- On the record page, the header's own
cleanupTitleSeparatorsshows the H1 asHT-2026-003, whilerecord:detailsstill prints the Contract No row. That was measured rendering the realpage:headerbesiderecord:details.
It is reachable on main today. It predates objectui#10443, which leaves record-title.ts unchanged.
Grading notes (for triage, not a grade)
- The fix shape: judge a placeholder empty the way
recordDisplayValueAtdoes (trim, then empty), so the renderer and the emptiness authority agree. Pin: a whitespace-only placeholder drops with its separator, and a real value is unchanged. - ADR-0079 deprecates
titleFormat, butgetRecordDisplayNamestill reads it as a rung, and many surfaces show that.
Dedupe
REST page walk over the 1000 most recently updated objectui items, pattern formatTitleTemplate near whitespace / blank / trim / dangling / separator, whitespace-only placeholder, or dangling separator ⇒ 0 hits. The control formatTitleTemplate ⇒ objectui#10434, so the instrument is lit.
