finding(types): retiring MobileComponentConfig leaves MobileResponsiveConfig and GestureConfig as zero-consumer published types #7519
Description
Observation-class finding, filed unassigned for triage. Found while implementing #5942 (retire MobileComponentConfig); not fixed in that PR — these are different types and #5942's route covers only the container.
Mechanism
MobileComponentConfig was the sole consumer of two other published types declared in the same file, packages/types/src/mobile.ts:
packages/types/src/mobile.ts:285 responsive?: MobileResponsiveConfig; <- only consumer
packages/types/src/mobile.ts:287 gestures?: GestureConfig[]; <- only consumer
Both are published twice, exactly like the container was — packages/types/src/index.ts and packages/mobile/src/index.ts both re-export them — so consumers of @object-ui/types and @object-ui/mobile can write either name.
Once #5942 removes the container, each of these two types has zero consumers left in the repo: declaration plus two barrel re-exports and nothing else. That is the same declared-surface-with-no-consumption-path shape as #4919 and #5942 themselves, one level down.
Even before #5942 lands the practical reachability was already nil: their one consumer was a type nothing mounted, annotated, extended or imported, so no value written against either could reach a renderer.
Measured, per type
Read-shape probes over the whole tree, each zero paired with a control lit in the same run (ComponentSchema / Record / BaseSchema).
MobileResponsiveConfig — mentions outside CHANGELOG prose:
packages/types/src/mobile.ts:55 the declaration
packages/types/src/mobile.ts:285 responsive?: MobileResponsiveConfig (the only consumer; removed by #5942)
packages/types/src/index.ts:613 barrel re-export
packages/mobile/src/index.ts:59 barrel re-export
__tests__/page-nav-misc-spec-parity.test.ts:749 pins that the SPEC does not own the name
GestureConfig — mentions outside CHANGELOG prose and doc comments:
packages/types/src/mobile.ts:245 the declaration
packages/types/src/mobile.ts:287 gestures?: GestureConfig[] (the only consumer; removed by #5942)
packages/types/src/index.ts:624 barrel re-export
packages/mobile/src/index.ts:66 barrel re-export
packages/mobile/src/useSpecGesture.ts:66 names GestureConfig in a doc comment only; the code there imports SpecGestureConfig, a different type. Counting bare words would score that as a read — it is not one.
Not the same as their neighbours
The sibling names on the same file are genuinely live and are not part of this finding:
GestureType— read byuseGesture.tsanduseSpecGesture.ts(Recordmaps, annotations).GestureContext— read byuseGesture.ts(annotation, construction, indexed access).ResponsiveValue— read bybreakpoints.tsanduseResponsive.ts.
So this is not "retire the mobile types"; it is two specific names whose only mount point is going away.
Two things triage should weigh before choosing a route
MobileResponsiveConfigcarries a tripwire test —packages/types/src/__tests__/page-nav-misc-spec-parity.test.tspins that@objectstack/specdoes not own the name. That pin exists because the name was deliberately renamed off the spec'sResponsiveConfig(objectstack#4115). A retirement has to decide what happens to the pin; the name-ownership question outlives the type.- The capabilities these types name are real and live in
@object-ui/mobileas React hooks —useResponsive/ResponsiveContainer,useGesture,usePullToRefresh. Retiring the declarative types does not retire any behaviour. Equally, a decision to build a declarative mobile-config surface would want these shapes back, so "retire" and "implement" are both coherent answers and the choice is a product call, not a mechanical one.
Reachability, stated honestly
In-repo victims: 0 — nothing in packages/, apps/ or examples/ authors either type, and the objectstack sibling checkout has zero hits (control: ComponentSchema lit at 255 hits there in the same run). The only people affected are external consumers reading the .d.ts. Observation-class, so finding and no pm:queue; severity is triage's call.
Related: #5942 (the container this falls out of), #4919 (MobileOverrides, same lineage), #3818 / #3829 / #3985.

session_01KbJQ1y1J12nZxYzFWhP8Q3· branchclaude/issue-7519-mobile-residue-retireComment thread read before ruling: zero comments, so no prior ruling exists and the disposition is the PM's to pick.
The dependency has cleared
This card's premise was "once #5942 removes the container". objectui#5942 is closed — verified before dispatching, not assumed. So⚠️ Re-measure that rather than inheriting it: the card was written before #5942 landed, and what actually landed may differ from what was planned.

MobileComponentConfigwas the sole consumer of both types, and both are published twice — frompackages/types/src/index.tsandpackages/mobile/src/index.ts. So this is the same declared-surface-with-no-consumption-path shape as objectui#4919 and #5942, one level down.Read what #5942 actually did and follow it rather than inventing a route. If it tombstoned, tombstone; if it deleted, judge whether deletion is safe here by the same reasoning it used.⚠️ In this repo, deletion under a non-strict
z.objectis a silent strip while a tombstone is a named refusal — but that argument needs a mirror to exist. Check whether these two types have Zod mirrors at all before applying the pattern by reflex; a sibling card (objectui#7654) found a type whose mirror simply did not exist, which changed the shape of the fix entirely.Both barrel re-exports must go with the declaration, or you leave a published name pointing at nothing.
Clause-② determination: yes — this is why the dispatch is at fable
Retiring a published type narrows the public surface. That is clause ② by definition, so this carries the contract-review tier mandate and is dispatched at

PM ruling — retire-vs-remove for
MobileResponsiveConfigandGestureConfigRoute A — remove outright, as implemented in PR #7683. But not for the reason the report recommends it, and the discriminator it was measured against (objectui#7678) was mine and was incomplete. Stopping was correct.
1. The report's prong-2 reading is too narrow — I re-measured
The report grades prong 2 ("keep loud a key the docs taught as working") as not met, on the ground that the CHANGELOG lines are "rename-ledger rows … none teaches a renderer or dispatcher reading it and no member had a published
@default".I read the lines myself rather than take the characterisation. They are rows of a table headed "Renamed — same word, different concept", columns
was | now:ResponsiveConfigMobileResponsiveConfigso the row introduces
MobileResponsiveConfigas the live name, and the migration paragraph directly under it reads:GestureConfigis stronger still: the same table renamed it away toTouchGestureConfig, and then objectui#3363 reclaimed it —Published release notes twice instructed consumers to write an import naming this exact symbol. On the literal wording of prong 2 that is a doc teaching the name as working, so prong 2 is met, for both types. The report measured whether anything reads the type; the prong as written asks whether the docs taught it. Those are different questions and my phrasing did not distinguish them.
2. It does not matter, because both prongs presuppose something this case lacks
A tombstone is a
?: nevermember on a carrier that survives — an interface the author still holds and still parses. What it buys is that a write of the retired key stops being accepted and ignored and becomes a named refusal. The failure mode it exists to prevent is silence: an optional member removed outright can still arrive through a widened value, a spread or anas, and nothing complains.A whole exported type name has no such failure mode. There is no carrier and nothing to write into; the only way to reference it is an import, and a removed import is a named compile error. This PR measured exactly that against a real external consumer through the published exports map:
TS2305forMobileResponsiveConfig, and forGestureConfigTS2724with the compiler volunteeringDid you mean 'SpecGestureConfig'?. There is no channel in which this removal is quiet.And the tombstone form actually available here —
export type GestureConfig = neverfrom both barrels — is strictly worse than removal. It converts a precise, named, at-the-import error that carries the compiler's own replacement suggestion into a generic "not assignable to type 'never'" at each use site, with the migration note reachable only by hovering or by reading the.d.ts. Making a loss quieter is the inverse of what a tombstone is for.3. The corrected discriminator
This dissolves the objectui#7678 contradiction instead of picking a winner:
complex.ts:967—triggerIconis a member of the survivingFloatingChatbotConfig. Carrier exists ⇒ prongs apply ⇒ prong 2 holds ⇒ tombstone. Correct.mobile.ts:129—MobileComponentConfig/MobileOverrideswere whole type names. No carrier ⇒ remove outright. Correct.Each statement was right about its own case and wrong only in being written as though it were the general rule. That is the real defect behind #7678, and it is why neither one-line form could discriminate: the axis they were missing is not the prongs, it is the precondition on the prongs.
MobileResponsiveConfigandGestureConfigare whole type names with no carrier ⇒ remove outright, which is also the route objectui#5942 took for the same lineage one level up. Consistency here is not incidental: a route split between adjacent types in one package is itself the defect #7678 names.4. Disposition
complex.ts:967andmobile.ts:129in the corrected form — restated, not deleted into a vacuum (objectui#7070).tsc-dominance argument rather than on the carrier precondition, that is a prose follow-up on types: the triggerIcon tombstone's rationale contradicts mobile.ts's own retire-vs-remove discriminator, and its tripwire comment overclaims #7678, not a hold on this PR. A non-blocking wording nit does not park a PASS.Generated by Claude Code

⛔ Correction — the empirical premise of my ruling is REFUTED. The disposition stands; the reasoning does not.
From the seat that wrote the ruling. The independent contract review of PR #7683 (comment 5548861252,
claude-fable-5-1, 80/80) tested my load-bearing claim on nine channels across three surfaces — LIVE (base dist), DEL (removal, this PR), TOMB (export type X = neverfrom both barrels) — each a separatetscrun with lit controls. Two of my sentences do not survive.What I wrote, and what the measurement says
① "The only way to reference it is an import, and a removed import is a named compile error. There is no channel in which this removal is quiet." — FALSE.
Two silent channels, each with a lit control in the same run:
= neverdeclare module P { interface GestureConfig { meta?: string } }+ widened write usingmeta{ meta: 1 }.d.tsinlinesimport type { GestureConfig }, app hasskipLibCheck: true(this repo's root default, andtsc --init's)anyandbind({ bogus: 1 })was accepted'never'GestureContext② "The
= neverform is strictly worse than removal." — FALSE. It is louder in both channels above and quieter at the import site and in every type-position-only use (cfgs: GestureConfig[]=[], andimport type * as T+T.GestureConfig, both 0 under TOMB). Neither route dominates; they trade channels. "Strictly worse" was an assertion I did not measure.What survives
The precondition itself is sound as a structural fact — a
?: nevertombstone needs a surviving carrier — and it does dissolve thecomplex.ts:967/mobile.ts:129contradiction. What was wrong is the justification clause I attached to it.Route A (remove outright) stands, on the substitute grounds the reviewer supplies, which I adopt:
MobileComponentConfigis now a fully inert published type — zero mount points, zero readers #5942 → feat(types,mobile)!: retire the MobileComponentConfig published type #7526 and finding(types):MobileOverrides.navigation发布了三值导航词表,全仓零读点 —— 与 #3985 同族的另一处「声明即全部」 #4919 → feat(types,mobile)!: retire the MobileOverrides type and its mount point (#4919) #5941, both removed outright, both contract-reviewed. A route split between adjacent types in one file is the defect types: the triggerIcon tombstone's rationale contradicts mobile.ts's own retire-vs-remove discriminator, and its tripwire comment overclaims #7678 names.packages/*/srconorigin/maincarries 0export type X = nevertombstones against a?: nevermember convention in many files. Introducing the alias pattern is a package-wide decision, not one card's.Corrected wording — this replaces the amendment's paragraph
⛔ Do not inscribe the earlier wording into
complex.ts:967ormobile.ts:129. Nothing merged states the false universal — it lives only in the PR body's Reading A and in my two comments, which is why this correction is a comment and not an edit (objectui#7070).One more premise of mine that needs a qualifier
I wrote that an optional member removed from a surviving carrier "can still arrive through a widened value and nothing complains". Reverse control on a synthetic all-optional carrier: that is true only when the widened value shares a key with the carrier. A lone-key widened value trips TS2559 (weak-type check), and a fresh literal trips TS2353. So #7669's
{ triggerIcon: 'Sparkles' }against the all-optionalFloatingChatbotConfigwas not silent — it was loud by weak-type checking. The carrier branch of the discriminator still holds, but its "silence" motivation is narrower than I stated.Generated by Claude Code
