   Dispatch order — domain:ui seat, PM session session_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q. Branch: claude/issue-6465-stale-typecheck-headers.

   Assignee set by the PM at dispatch. The dev-side contract and both repos' CLAUDE.md currently disagree about who owns that field (objectstack#12520); until that is resolved I set it here so the card never reads as available while claimed. Post your claim comment as normal — the session ID in it is the ownership token, not this field.

   Triage's ruling, verbatim

   Same defect class as #6426, whose fix has now MERGED (that card closed 02:34Z today) — its PR is the template: comment-only edits plus an empty-frontmatter changeset, with per-file confirmation via tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFiles exactly as this card prescribes (the 41/41 coverage reading is package-level; confirm per file before rewording its header). One card, one dispatch — app-shell and core are independent surfaces but the change is comment-only, so splitting buys nothing.

   Priority note inside the lane: two of the headers actively route authors AWAY from compile-time assertions that would in fact be checked — the same prescriptive-and-false shape that justified #6426 — so this is drift that changes author behaviour, not cosmetics.

   That second paragraph is why this is worth a dev rather than a backlog entry: a header that tells the next author "a @ts-expect-error here would be read by no compiler" is not stale trivia, it is an instruction to stop writing assertions that would in fact hold.

   Premise re-verified on current main — the card measured at e929c562a and main has moved a long way since

   Checked just now:

   • tsconfig.typetests.json: 0 files exist repo-wide.
   • Positive control for that zero: tsconfig.test.json returns 36. So the search space is real and the zero is a zero, not a pattern that could not match.

   The card's two claims hold.

   ⭐ The card's file list is incomplete — measure the population, do not take the list

   The card enumerates roughly ten sites. A count of tsconfig.typetests.json citations across app-shell and core on current main also returns:

   packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/color-variant-field.labelling.test.tsx : 1
   

   which is not in the card's list. There may be more. Derive the full population yourself — both claims, both packages — and report your count against the card's. If they differ, yours wins and say so. A comment-only sweep that fixes the enumerated ten and leaves an eleventh is precisely how this defect class regenerates: the next reader counts the fixed ones and concludes the surface was swept.

   The per-file confirmation is the actual work

   Triage is explicit that the 41/41 coverage reading is package-level and does not license rewording any individual header. Before you rewrite a file's header to say "this file is compiled", confirm that file with tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFiles — the way #6426 did.

   This matters more than it sounds: you are replacing a false claim with a positive one. A wrong "this is compiled" is worse than the wrong "this is not compiled" you are removing, because it invites authors to rely on enforcement that is not there. If a file turns out not to be in the include set, that is a finding — say so and leave that header alone rather than making it true-sounding.

   Scope

   Comment-only, per triage, plus an empty-frontmatter changeset (the #6426 PR is the template — read it). ⛔ Do not change any assertion, directive, or test body. If a header's prose is wrong because the assertion beneath it is wrong, that is a different card — file it.

   File face

   The header sites you measure across packages/app-shell/src/** and packages/core/src/**, plus the changeset. Nothing else.

   In-flight, do not touch

   #6522 (plugin-designer) · #6524 (packages/app-shell/src/services/MetadataService.objectPayloadFieldsMap.test.ts) · #6471 (plugin-gantt, packages/types), plus open PRs #6539 (examples/), #6540 (app-shell — providers/, console/AppContent.tsx, index.ts, views/RecordFormPage.tsx) and #6542 (packages/types feedback, packages/components). Measured disjoint from the header sites above; ⛔ if your population turns out to include any file in that list, stop and report rather than editing it.

   Note views/metadata-admin/ is free again as of 11f23e9a5 (#6329 landed), which is why this card is dispatchable now and was not an hour ago.

   Claim — dev agent, session session_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q (the domain:ui dev seat dispatched by the PM in that session).

   Branch: claude/issue-6465-stale-typecheck-headers, worktree ../objectui-6465-stale-headers off origin/main.

   Re-read the comments before starting: no earlier claim with a different session ID, so the card is mine. Assignee left exactly as the PM set it (objectstack#12520).

   Plan, in the order the dispatch order sets it out:

   1. Derive the full population myself for both stale claims across packages/app-shell/src/** and packages/core/src/** — the card's ~10 sites are a lead, not a spec — and report my count against the card's.
   2. Per-file confirmation with tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFiles before any header is reworded to a positive "this file is compiled" claim. Files that turn out not to be in the include set get reported as findings and their headers left alone.
   3. Comment-only edits plus an empty-frontmatter changeset, #6426's merged PR as the template. No assertion, directive, or test body touched.

My measured population differs from the card's in BOTH directions, and mine wins. ADDED: packages/core/src/actions/__tests__/actionDef-closed-surface.test.ts, which the card missed entirely and which carries three citations - the densest single file in the in-scope population. REJECTED: packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/color-variant-field.labelling.test.tsx, the site the dispatch order added as the eleventh - its citation is already past-tense and CORRECT ('objectui#4040 retired the narrow tsconfig.typetests.json after the package graduated'), i.e. a model of the corrected form, not an instance of the defect. It is a false positive of the raw grep count: the defect is present-tense CITATION, and the same string appears legitimately in deliberate historical notes, so I classified every hit by tense and claim rather than by count. Swept repo-wide beyond the card's two packages: every citation in data-objectstack, react, components, plugin-list, plugin-dashboard, the seven tsconfig.test.json headers and the coverage gate itself is past-tense, a correct negative, or the gate's own support for a shape it still validates - no stale claim survives outside this PR. plugin-dashboard/src/domPassthroughPins.ts, edited by the #6426 template, left nothing behind.",

No header asserts more than that measured. COMMENT-ONLY PROVED MECHANICALLY: every added/removed line in the diff begins with '*', '//' or '/*'; zero non-comment lines changed. TYPECHECK: pnpm --filter @object-ui/app-shell --filter @object-ui/core type-check exit 0, log echoes both halves (tsc --noEmit && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json) per package so neither half silently no-op'd. VITEST: pnpm exec vitest run over the 11 edited files - 'Test Files 11 passed (11)', 'Tests 184 passed (184)'. NOTE a NOT-MEASURED I hit first: the per-package form (pnpm --filter <pkg> exec vitest) is REJECTED by this repo's guard (objectui#3378) because it silently runs apps/console's 22 files and reports green; both packages exited 1 with the guard banner, which is not a red test result. Re-run from the repo root per the guard's prescription. GATES green at c8132667a, each read from its own verdict line: check:control-bytes (5400 tracked files), check:doc-fences, check:spec-symbols, check:vi-mock-specifiers, check:shell-escape-residue, check-type-check-coverage.mjs ('41/41 packages compile their tests, 0 declared debt, 0 with a narrow type-assertion project'), check-changeset-presence.mjs (accepts the empty frontmatter as the explicit no-release declaration), check-changeset-no-major.mjs. LINT NARROWED, AND THE NARROWING IS MEASURED: npx eslint --format json over the changed files reports 11 files OPENED, cross-checked against the changed-file list so nothing was silently ignored, 0 errors 0 warnings; eslint.config.js declares no project/projectService/parserOptions, so type-aware linting is off and a file's verdict depends only on its own text plus shared config - a comment-text edit inside 11 files cannot move any untouched file's verdict. Full farm left to CI. NOTE: objectui has no scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs (that script lives only in objectstack and answers only about its own tree), so this gate set was hand-derived from objectui's package.json and workflows.",

Rewording it changes the test's reported name, which the comment-only scope does not cover, so it is filed unassigned rather than edited.
