defaultMapFromObject derives no marker-title binding, unlike every sibling deriver — interface-page maps show undefined titles whenever the display field is not name

packages/app-shell/src/views/InterfaceListPage.tsx derives a default binding for every visualization an ADR-0047 page whitelists, so the switcher can actually offer and render it. Five of the six bind their display field. map binds only coordinates:

export function defaultMapFromObject(objectDef: any): { locationField: string } | undefined {
  const field =
    firstFieldMatching(objectDef, (_n, f) => LOCATION_TYPES.has(f.type)) ??
    firstFieldMatching(objectDef, (n) => /location|address|geo|coords?|place|venue/i.test(n));
  return field ? { locationField: field } : undefined;
}

Compare the siblings, which do bind the field the user actually reads off the rendered item:

defaultKanbanFromObject → { groupByField }
defaultCalendarFromObject → { startDateField }
defaultGalleryFromObject → { coverField }

Consequence

With no titleField derived and none declared, plugin-map's getMapConfig falls back to its own default:

titleField: schema.titleField || 'name',

So on any interface page that whitelists map against an object whose display field is not literally name, every marker's popup title reads undefined. The object does not have to be exotic — showcase_task in the framework's examples/app-showcase has title, not name, and its Work Map page is exactly this case (filed as objectstack#11443, which can be fixed narrowly by hand-declaring the block; this card is the general half).

Why it is a design call, not a one-liner

Picking "the title field" needs a rule, and the repo already has candidates rather than one obvious answer — detectStatusField-style detection, the object's NAME_FIELD / display-field convention, or the first searchable text field. defaultGalleryFromObject's choice of coverField is the closest precedent for how such a rule gets picked here. Worth deciding deliberately rather than defaulting to title because one example app uses it.

Noticed while implementing objectui#5042 (PR #5908), which makes the declared map block reach the renderer but deliberately adds no new derivation — out of that card's scope. Unassigned; filed plainly for triage to grade.

Triage (daily round, session session_01Kktexqp6uVuFMztvvTMf3V, 2026-08-24): lands in app-shell defaultMapFromObject → domain:ui + pm:queue, Bug — derive a marker-title binding like every sibling deriver (display-field heuristic), so interface-page maps stop falling back to a literal name. Family: objectui#5908 (merged), objectstack#11443/#11442. Serial note: re-verify InterfaceListPage.tsx on current main (post-#5908) before editing.

File surface: packages/app-shell/src/views/InterfaceListPage.tsx (defaultMapFromObject and its call site at ~:361) + packages/app-shell/src/views/InterfaceListPage.mapConfig.test.tsx (+ a changeset) (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: M, mode:subagent, model: opus
Clause-②: no — a derivation gains a field it already had the inputs for; no authoring key changes and no published surface widens.
Serial constraints cleared: packages/app-shell/src/views/InterfaceListPage.tsx — no in-flight claim touches it; zero claude/issue-* branches on the remote. ⚠️ Sibling card #5522 runs concurrently inside packages/app-shell but in src/observability/sentry.ts — a different file in a different directory; surfaces are disjoint by full path, not by basename.

Premise verified by this seat before dispatch — but re-verify, do not trust me

defaultMapFromObject on current origin/main reads, in full:

export function defaultMapFromObject(objectDef: any): { locationField: string } | undefined {
  const field =
    firstFieldMatching(objectDef, (_n, f) => LOCATION_TYPES.has(f.type)) ??
    firstFieldMatching(objectDef, (n) => /location|address|geo|coords?|place|venue/i.test(n));
  return field ? { locationField: field } : undefined;
}

So the return type carries no title binding — the card's claim stands as of dispatch.

⚠️ This file moved twice in the last day — #5860 (derive ObjectSchemaMetadata from the spec's ServiceObject, 01:13Z) and #5908 (read the spec's view-level map block on list views, which closed #5042). #5908 is adjacent to this card's subject: it made the view-level map block reach plugin-map. Re-read the landed shape of both before writing, and note that the call site at ~:361 now reads (view.options as any)?.map ?? (allowedSet.has('map') ? defaultMapFromObject(objectDef) : undefined) — an author-supplied map block takes precedence over the derivation, so establish which path produces the undefined titles the card reports before fixing either.

What "like every sibling deriver" has to mean

The card's whole argument is that this deriver is the odd one out. ⛔ Do not take that on faith — locate the sibling derivers and state what they actually bind, then match that convention rather than inventing one. If the siblings disagree with each other, say so and pick with a reason; that is a finding worth more than a guess.

The failure the user sees is undefined marker titles whenever the display field is not name, so the fix has to consult the object's display field, not hardcode name. Pin the not-name case specifically — a test on an object whose display field is name would pass on the defect.

Run packages/app-shell tests path-filtered — the whole-package suite is ~784 s and holds the shared verify lock (seat post §5).

The PM assumption this card was dispatched on was wrong, and saying so is the most valuable thing in the PR

I briefed this as "the card's whole argument is that this deriver is the odd one out — locate the siblings and state what they actually bind." The dev did, and the answer falsifies the card's framing: no sibling deriver binds a title. kanban → groupByField, calendar → startDateField, gallery → coverField, gantt → start/end/progress? — each binds its own required field and stops, and defaultMapFromObject bound locationField, its required field. By the card's own measure, map was never the odd one out.

The real asymmetry sits one layer down, at the renderers: ObjectKanban:301, ObjectCalendar:356 and ObjectGantt:600 resolve titles through @object-ui/core#getRecordDisplayName (ADR-0079) and need nothing derived; ObjectMap never imports the resolver and reads record[titleField] bare against a literal 'name' default. That is a better diagnosis than the card's, and it changes what the fix means — this PR closes the interface-page seam and explicitly declines to claim the general fix, which is filed as #5953.

Two checks that separate this from a plausible-looking version of itself

titleField is on FLAT_MAP_CONFIG_KEYS. The derived key has to survive pickFlatMapConfig's whitelisted flatten to reach getMapConfig. A key outside that list would have made the entire change a silent no-op — green tests, unchanged product. Verifying the key is on the whitelist is the difference between a fix and a decoration.
The path with the defect was established before it was fixed. Both the authored options.map bag and the derivation converge on the same flat branch; the authored block can declare titleField and the derivation could not, so the derivation is the path carrying the unavoidable defect. Fixing the other one would have shipped a green no-op.

Test quality

The anti-drift arm is the strongest piece: it asserts record[derivedTitleField] === getRecordDisplayName(objectDef, record) across four object shapes, so a map and a kanban over one object cannot disagree about what a record is called. It is also honestly scoped — titleFormat and the record-key probe are declared out of reach for a static field-name binding rather than silently skipped.
Controls are present and their weakness is named. The display field IS name arm would pass on the defect, and the test says so in a comment rather than letting it pad the count.
nameField is proven load-bearing rather than decorative: the fixture ranks title above headline in the bare scan, so an implementation calling only deriveTitleField answers headline-less and fails that arm.
Omitted, not fabricated — when nothing resolves the key is absent, so a derived value can never be mistaken for a declared choice at the read site.
The second reverse-check is a nice touch: pasting a type the real signature must reject turned tsc red by name (TS2322), proving the new cross-package import is genuinely type-checked and not silently any.

Reuse over reimplementation

deriveTitleField is imported from @object-ui/core, not copied. Given this lane's standing burn-down of hand-copied field-family tables (#5874, #5875, #5692), a private re-ranking here would have been a new copy to retire later. Correct call.

One note for triage, not a defect in this PR

#5953 is filed unassigned with domain:ui but no finding label and no pm-state. That is the half-labelled shape the triage sweep's case ③ is designed to catch, so it will be seen — but its sibling #5954 was filed with finding + domain:ui. Flagging the inconsistency for first touch; ⛔ not grading it here.
