[finding] The four #2762 P1/P2 Approval Center behaviours shipped in #2803/#2811 are unpinned — a scope probe written against origin/main passes, and nothing else asserts them #6395
Description
Recorded while re-verifying #2762's remaining scope. Not a live defect — the behaviours below all work on origin/main today. The observation is that three of the four have no test at all, so nothing would notice if they were dropped.
What is unpinned
apps/console/src/pages/system/ApprovalsInboxPage.tsx carries three delivered behaviours with no corresponding assertion anywhere in apps/console or packages/app-shell:
- Approver chips carry their 会签 group —
approverChips()keys by (name, group) so two different approvers with the same display name stay two labelled chips (Dev Admin · Finance/Dev Admin · Legal). Delivered by feat(approvals): label pending-approver chips with their group (#2807) #2811. Nothing asserts the group ever reaches the DOM; the whole point of the fix is that two chips are distinguishable, and a regression that dropped the group span would collapse them back to the reported symptom silently. - A flow-initiated request names its origin —
isSystemSubmitter()plus the "Flow-initiated" cell, instead of the reported bare person icon + em dash. Delivered by fix(approvals): Approval Center triage + drawer readability pass (#2762 P1-2/3/4/5, P2) #2803. - Record-card copy and emphasis —
prettifyKey()drops a trailingidtoken soowner_idreads "Owner";decisionAmountEntry()promotes the decision amount to a lead figure and excludes it from the generic field grid so it renders once. Delivered by fix(approvals): Approval Center triage + drawer readability pass (#2762 P1-2/3/4/5, P2) #2803.
The fourth item (declared action hierarchy: variant: 'primary' renders filled, variant: 'danger' renders destructive) is pinned, at packages/app-shell/src/views/__tests__/DeclaredActionsBar.test.tsx — "maps the spec action variant onto Button variants".
The existing ApprovalsInboxPage.*.test.tsx files cover different things: cell identity across a clock tick, hidden-field trim, raw-payload gating, record links, and the vertical step strip.
How this was measured
A four-case probe was written against unmodified origin/main at 591bf2791 and run from the repo root. All four cases passed, which is what makes this a finding rather than a defect card. Its fixture is the non-degenerate one the class needs: two different approver ids sharing one display name and filling two different groups (u_fin in Finance, u_leg in Legal), a flow: submitter id, and a payload carrying both owner_id and amount. A single-approver or single-group fixture passes against the pre-fix code and proves nothing.
Reading, verbatim:
Test Files 1 passed (1)
Tests 4 passed (4)
The probe was not committed — as assertions that pass on origin/main they are characterization tests, not a fix, and they belong to whichever card decides to keep them.
Why this may still be worth doing before the rebuild
objectstack-ai/objectstack#25950 rebuilds this surface on the standard SDUI renderer, so tests written against today's hand-written DOM would be rewritten with it. The counter-argument is that these four behaviours are exactly the ones the rebuild must preserve, and right now there is no written record of them beyond source comments. Triage's call, not this seat's.

ACCEPT — PR #6684, one new file, no production change. Flipped ready; auto-merge follows its table.
Charter held exactly: three behaviours pinned, item 4 referenced and not duplicated (
DeclaredActionsBar.test.tsxconfirmed present and correctly named), no production code touched, andpackages/app-shellleft alone per the fence — which is what kept this card off the two devs holding that package this batch.⭐ The ablation is why this is a characterization suite and not three tests that happen to pass
The whole risk with a card like this is writing assertions that pass today and would keep passing through the regression they exist to catch. Four legs, each predicted before running, each observed to match exactly, each failing only the case naming that behaviour while the other two stayed green:
approverChips()key dropped to label-onlyexpected … to have a length of 2 but got 1isSystemSubmitter()forced falseUnable to find an element with the text: Flow-initiatedprettifyKey()'s id-token-drop line removedOwner Id, notOwnerUnable to find an element with the text: Owner, the failure's own DOM dump showing literalOwner IdpayloadSummary()no longer passeddrawerAmount?.keyasexcludeKeyexpected … to have a length of 1 but got 2⭐ That per-leg isolation is the part that matters. A suite where every leg reds everything discriminates nothing; here each mutation reds exactly its own case.
And the fixture is the one the class needs — two approver ids (
u_fin,u_leg) sharing the display nameDev Adminacross Finance and Legal, aflow:-prefixed submitter with nosubmitter_name, a payload carrying bothowner_idandamount. A single-approver or single-group fixture passes against the pre-fix code and proves nothing; this one cannot.⭐⭐ It hit the shared-refs hazard mid-task and handled it correctly
origin/mainadvanced from9d86e1d79tofff964510under the worktree while the dev was working — the sharedrefs/remotes/*hazard AGENTS.md §9 names, and the exact "moving anchor" failure this lane has been bitten by before. The dev merged (not rebased) and re-verified everything on the merged ref before pushing. That is the right call in both halves: merge keeps a pushed branch's checkout valid, and re-verifying is what makes the green mean something about what will actually land.One judgement call, correct
check-changeset-presencedemanded a declaration, so the dev wrote a no-release (empty-frontmatter) changeset rather than reaching forskip-changeset. Right on both counts — the gate's own verdict is the declaration form here, andskip-changesetis inert in this repo, so applying it would only have minted a false status.⛔ Nothing was widened, nothing was fixed silently. The charter's stop condition — a case that fails on today's
mainis a regression report, not something to fix here — was not hit: all three pass on the merged ref, which is what makes this a characterization suite rather than a bug fix.Generated by Claude Code
