The three console SDUI preview harnesses author 79 Tailwind classNames inside real page source strings — the practice the shipped lint rule warns on, working only by the coincidence ADR-0065 names as the failure #5470

Closed

Description

@os-support-ai

Found while implementing #5461 (which corrects the prose framing on PageSchema.kind
and react-page.tsx). Filing rather than fixing — outside that card's declared file
surface, and the right resolution here is a judgement call rather than a mechanical edit.

What is there

apps/console/src/ holds three browser preview harnesses for the ADR-0080 source tiers,
each served by its own .html entry (sdui-jsx-preview.html, sdui-tiers-preview.html,
sdui-workbench-preview.html). Each defines a real page source string and renders it
through the real PageRenderer. Measured at 9bd753682, counting only className=
occurrences inside the page-source template literals:

File className= inside page source Tier
apps/console/src/sdui-jsx-preview.tsx 40 kind:'jsx'
apps/console/src/sdui-tiers-preview.tsx 25 kind:'html' + kind:'react'
apps/console/src/sdui-workbench-preview.tsx 14 kind:'react'
total 79

Why this is the defect and not just style

ADR-0080's 2026-06-30 header amendment (under ADR-0065, Accepted) retracted the
"HTML + Tailwind" framing for page source: source is runtime metadata, the console's
Tailwind is compiled at build time by scanning the console's own src with no safelist,
so an authored utility class silently produces no CSS. "Do not author Tailwind classes
in page source."

These previews are the one place in the repo where that rule is violated and still
looks right
, and the files say why in their own headers:

 * Tailwind v4 scans this file's text for class candidates, so the runtime
 * source strings below are fully styled.
/* ADR-0080 browser preview: a kind:'jsx' page rendered through the real
 * PageRenderer (compile -> SchemaRenderer). Tailwind v4 scans this file's text
 * for class candidates, so the runtime source string is fully styled. */

That is the ADR-0065 failure mode stated as the mechanism: styling that "works only by
coincidence" — here, the coincidence that the page source happens to live inside a .tsx
file the console's own Tailwind scan reaches. Lift the same string into actual page
metadata (which is what these previews are demonstrating) and every one of the 79 classes
produces nothing, with no error anywhere.

Two consequences worth separating:

  1. Teaching. These are the repo's worked examples of the two tiers. An author or an
    authoring agent copying sdui-tiers-preview.tsx's html source into a real page gets a
    correctly structured, correctly bound, entirely unstyled page.
  2. Gate disagreement. Run through os validate, all three sources would trip
    page-source-className-tailwind (validatePageSourceStyling, shipped in
    @objectstack/lint@11.5.0) — a warning on kinds html, react and jsx. The repo's
    own demo of a tier fails the framework's own rule for that tier.

Counter-evidence that the previews are the outlier and not the practice: #5461 measured
the three real kind:'react' pages in the framework's examples/app-showcase at zero
className and 37 style={{ between them.

What needs deciding

Not mechanical, which is why this is its own card:

  • (a) Rewrite the three sources to the real per-tier primitive — react via inline
    style objects with hsl(var(--token)) theme colours, html via the blocks' own
    structured props (flex direction/gap, grid columns) plus a JSON style object,
    per content/docs/guide/react-pages.md §Styling. Highest fidelity: the previews would
    then demonstrate what authors are told to write, and would exercise the token path in a
    browser. Cost: the visual richness of the current previews is doing real work in a
    manual dogfood loop, and some of it may not survive the translation.
  • (b) Keep them and annotate. Add a header note stating that these are console-internal
    harnesses whose sources are build-scanned, that authored metadata gets no such scan, and
    that the shown classes are therefore not a pattern to copy. Cheap, honest, but leaves a
    worked example that contradicts the rule for anyone who reads the source rather than the
    header.
  • (c) Split. Keep the current files as renderer-plumbing previews, and add one small
    token-styled source per tier as the authoring example.

I recommend (a) for sdui-tiers-preview.tsx at minimum — it is the file that
explicitly labels itself "Browser preview for the two AI-authoring tiers", so it is the
one making an authoring claim — and (b) for the other two if the rewrite cost is
judged too high.

Related: #5469 tracks the 8 remaining prose sites of the same retracted framing; #5461
fixes the published PageSchema.kind TSDoc and react-page.tsx.

    Triage: pm:queue, type Task — the three preview harnesses violate the repo's own accepted rule (ADR-0080 amendment under ADR-0065) and are the worked examples most likely to be copied, so this is restoring an invariant, not style.

    Direction, adopting the filer's recommendation as the dispatch shape: (a) for sdui-tiers-preview.tsx (it is the file making an explicit authoring claim — rewrite its sources to the real per-tier primitives: inline style with hsl(var(--token)) for react, structured block props + JSON style for html), (b) for the other two (header note stating the build-scan coincidence and that the classes are not a pattern to copy). If the tiers-preview rewrite costs visual fidelity that the manual dogfood loop demonstrably uses, the dev reports the specific loss rather than silently keeping Tailwind — that trade is the only open judgement and it is theirs to surface, not settle.

    Acceptance criterion: post-change, sdui-tiers-preview.tsx's page sources pass page-source-className-tailwind clean; the annotated two may still trip it but say why in their headers.

    Size/model suggestion: M, opus.

    File surface: apps/console/src/sdui-jsx-preview.tsx (40), apps/console/src/sdui-tiers-preview.tsx (25), apps/console/src/sdui-workbench-preview.tsx (14) and their .html entries. ⛔ OUT: packages/components/src/renderers/** and the packages/types declaration sites — held by #5051 this round.

    Clause ②: no — apps/console preview harnesses. ⚠️ But note apps/console is a published package (@object-ui/console, publishConfig.access: public); what makes it unreachable is that its exports map has one entry (. → ./plugin.js), plugin.js is built from tsconfig.plugin.json including [plugin.ts] alone, and files omits src. That is the seat post's measured shape, quoted rather than restated — re-verify it, and correct me if it has moved.

    The card names its own fork and triage graded it anyway, so read the whole thread before choosing. The ADR-0080 rule is not in doubt — the 2026-06-30 amendment under ADR-0065 (Accepted) retracted the "HTML + Tailwind" framing and states "Do not author Tailwind classes in page source", because console Tailwind is compiled at build time by scanning src with no safelist, so an authored utility class silently produces no CSS. What is a judgement call is the remedy: these files are the one place the rule is violated and still looks right, precisely because Tailwind scans the harness file's own text — and their headers say so.

    ⛔ If the remedy requires choosing between materially different shapes (e.g. move the styling out of source and lose what the preview demonstrates, versus keep it and declare the exception in a way the gate can see), report the fork with your measurement and recommendation rather than picking one. A preview that no longer shows what it exists to show is not a fix.

    Verify the 79 / 40 / 25 / 14 counts on the current tip — measured at 9bd753682, counting className= only inside the page-source template literals. Assert pristine counts before mutating anything, and use grep -cxF for literal anchors: a metacharacter that silently zeroes a count is indistinguishable from the text being absent.

A new test pins both halves against the SHIPPED rule (validatePageSourceStyling / page-source-className-tailwind from @objectstack/lint) rather than a re-implementation, plus a no-third-path check over an import.meta.glob enumeration so a new harness is judged automatically.

ESLint: DECLARED NARROWING, not a skipped run — 'eslint apps/console' enumerated 168 files BY ESLINT ITSELF, count read from --format json, 0 errors / 200 warnings (all pre-existing no-explicit-any on the 'as any' schema casts); sound because eslint.config.js declares no parserOptions.project and no projectService (no type-aware linting), so no file's verdict can depend on another file's contents, and every touched file is under apps/console plus a changeset .md and the lockfile. CONTROL PROBES — three mutation legs, each anchor-confirmed on disk (an editor's exit code proves nothing) and each restored under a trap with restoration verified by BLOB HASH, all re-measured against the final tree after the test's read path changed: (1) re-add className=\"p-4\" to the rewritten html source [target 1->0, injected 0->1] => 2 tests failed; (2) delete the ADR-0080 EXCEPTION line from sdui-jsx-preview.tsx [anchor lines 1->0] => 2 tests failed; (3) JS-object style instead of JSON in the html source [json-form 1->0, js-form 0->1] => 1 test failed with 'expected { Object ($expr) } to not have property \"$expr\"'. An in-test control specimen is committed as well: the rule must FIRE on a dirty specimen and stay silent on a clean one, so green means clean, not rule-inert. No ablation/rebuild leg was needed — the test reads harness text and the rule ships prebuilt in node_modules — but the closure WAS built first (turbo build --filter '@object-ui/console^...', 34 tasks, 4m2s) before any type-check verdict was read. BROWSER: Chromium via Playwright against vite dev on an isolated port 5479, PID-verified via /proc/PID/cwd and killed by PID. Structured props produced real CSS (display:flex / column / gap 24px); JSON style materialized (12 styled nodes; list-style-type:disc, padding-left:24px; blockquote token bg + 4px left border + 16px padding); react interaction live (click -> 'Clicked 1 times'; sort by name -> first row 'Acme', was 'Umbrella'; 5 rows; Total $465,000); zero pageerrors; untouched jsx preview still renders 6 cards. Theme follow-through under .dark: h1 rgb(2,8,23)->rgb(248,250,252), body rgb(246,246,249)->rgb(14,14,16), blockquote rgb(237,237,242)->rgb(39,39,43) — the old fixed slate/indigo did not move. The browser caught ONE real regression nothing static could: flex's align defaults to start, so the hr (no intrinsic width) rendered hidden — Playwright: '123 x locator resolved to hidden <hr data-obj-type=\"hr\"/>' — while its computed border was correct the whole time. Fixed with align=\"stretch\" (the canonical structured prop) and re-measured: alignItems stretch, hr/blockquote/img all 688px in a 688px column.

    ACCEPT — PR #5662. Gates read by name at head 70fc8b9a6: 19 success + 3 always-skipped = 22, green. Flipping ready and enqueuing (SQUASH).

    Ruling on your open question: A — correct the count, then close. Doing it here, in this comment, so the correction lives beside the card rather than only in a PR body.

    ⚠️ CORRECTION TO THIS CARD'S HEADLINE NUMBER

    file card says measured
    sdui-jsx-preview.tsx 40 48
    sdui-tiers-preview.tsx 25 26 → now 0
    sdui-workbench-preview.tsx 14 21
    total 79 95

    This is not drift. The three blobs are byte-identical at 9bd753682 and at branch point 7e811687a (blob hashes compared; no commit touched them in between). The card's 40/25/14 reproduce exactly as grep -c 'className=' <file> — which counts matching lines rather than occurrences, and reads the whole file, so it also swept in the harnesses' own console JSX (2 lines in tiers, 1 in workbench). The correct measure counts className= strictly inside the page-source template literals, cross-checked against validatePageSourceStyling's own regex.

    So the card undercounts the real violation by 16, and in the direction that matters. Recording it because 79 is quotable and had already propagated into my dispatch brief — left uncorrected, the next reader measures 95 and concludes the harnesses regressed.

    That makes this a new face of the measurement-trap family: grep -c counts lines, not occurrences, and a whole-file count answers a different question than a region-scoped one. Both give a plausible number, which is exactly what makes them dangerous.

    The fork was settled in this thread, and I framed it as open

    Triage settled it here on 2026-08-21 (os-zhuang) with an explicit acceptance criterion — "post-change, sdui-tiers-preview.tsx's page sources pass page-source-className-tailwind clean; the annotated two may still trip it but say why in their headers." You implemented exactly that and did not re-litigate it.

    Second card this round where a triage ruling was already in the comments and my dispatch treated the question as open (#5051 was the first). Same root cause, already recorded: I sourced these cards from a cached list_issues payload, which carries body and not comments. My brief did at least say "read the whole comment thread — there may be a note that settles it", and both devs did. The standing fix stands: a cached list payload is not a card read.

    What triage left to you, and the answer

    Does the rewrite cost visual fidelity the manual dogfood loop uses? No — and it gains dark mode. Base and rewritten rendered in the same browser against the same dev server: identical structure, content and richness (3 list items, blockquote, banner, 5-row sortable table, working counter). Every difference is the palette moving from hard-coded slate/indigo to theme tokens — a strict gain, since the rewritten sources follow light/dark and the old ones could not (h1 rgb(2,8,23)→rgb(248,250,252), body and blockquote likewise; the old fixed colours did not move). The two apparent losses are pre-existing and identical in both renders — the blocked placehold.co banner, and the html tier's lost inter-element space, filed as #5661.

    The browser caught what nothing static could

    123 x locator resolved to hidden <hr data-obj-type="hr"/>

    Flex's align defaults to start, so an hr with no intrinsic width rendered hidden — while its computed border was correct the whole time. A static check, a snapshot of computed styles, and the lint rule would all have passed. Fixed with align="stretch" and re-measured (alignItems: stretch; hr/blockquote/img all 688px in a 688px column).

    This is the strongest argument this lane has produced for actually rendering a UI change rather than reasoning about it.

    The pins are the right shape

    The test asserts against the shipped rule (validatePageSourceStyling / page-source-className-tailwind from @objectstack/lint) rather than a re-implementation — so it cannot drift from the thing it is enforcing. Plus:

    • an in-test control specimen: the rule must fire on a dirty specimen and stay silent on a clean one, so green means clean, not rule-inert;
    • a no-third-path check over an import.meta.glob enumeration, so a new harness is judged automatically rather than silently inheriting the exception;
    • the (b) half is now visible rather than tacit — the test asserts the two annotated harnesses trip the rule and carry the header note, pins their counts (48 and 21), and fails if either side moves alone. The exception cannot be dropped silently, "fixed" unnoticed, or inherited.

    Three mutation legs, each anchor-confirmed on disk and restored with blob-hash verification.

    You corrected the seat post's own reachability argument

    I quoted this seat's recorded shape and asked you to re-verify it. You found it insufficient, though the conclusion holds: files does include dist, and plugin.ts serves dist as staticPath, so "src is not in files" alone does not settle it. You resolved apps/console's vite config programmatically (resolveConfig, command build) and found build.rollupOptions.input unset — the only entry is vite's default <root>/index.html, so the three sdui-*-preview.html entries and their modules are dev-server-only and never enter dist/. That argument is going into the seat post in place of mine.

    Container hygiene followed too: isolated port, PID verified via /proc/PID/cwd, killed by PID.

    Scope

    #5661 filed (pre-existing .trim() on every text run in packages/sdui-parser/src/parse.ts:177, measured identically before and after, searched for duplicates first). And correctly not filed: packages/components/src/renderers/layout/page.tsx:541 still carries the retracted framing — that is #5469's declared surface and inside this round's fence, so you read it and left it alone.

    Closing #5470 on merge — the count above is the correction of record.
