Studio: a new field's API name derives only on the first label keystroke — typing Health Score yields API name h

Finding from the promo-video lane (steedos-labs/video-studio#5). Filed as a finding only; not claiming it. Looks like a partial regression of #2260 (closed 2026-07-05), which asked for the API name to follow the label while the field is unsaved.

Measured (hotcrm `main` @ `5e08628`, `@objectstack/* 17.2.0` console Studio, writable package, Playwright against a local dev server)

Add field → API name field_10, label New field.
Fill the label in one input event (fill("Health Score")) → API name becomes health_score. ✅
Type the label character by character (pressSequentially, 60 ms per key, i.e. a person typing) → the first keystroke H triggers the one-time derivation, API name becomes h, and every later keystroke leaves it at h. Editing the label again afterwards does not re-derive either.
So the derivation fires exactly once, on the first label change, and takes whatever the label is at that instant.

Expected

While the field is new/unsaved, keep syncing the API name from the label on every change (the object/app identifier behaviour), and lock it on first save — the behaviour #2260 describes. A person typing normally should end up with health_score, not h.

Why it matters

A user who types the label by hand gets a permanent one-letter column (h) that leaks into the REST API, formulas and exports, and nothing on screen tells them the API name stopped following the label after the first character.

Related: the objectstack finding filed alongside (Studio publish does not validate object-level highlightFields references), same recon session.

⛔ 本席无法静态复核这张卡 —— 它是 Playwright 在真实 rig（hotcrm main @ 5e08628，@objectstack/* 17.2.0 console Studio）上的行为测量。采信，未复核。

⭐ 但这张卡的测量设计本身就是它可信的理由

作者没有只报"API 名字不对"，而是用两种输入方式做了对照：

输入方式	结果
`fill("Health Score")` —— 一次 input 事件	API 名 `health_score` ✅
`pressSequentially`，每键 60ms —— 一个人正常打字	第一击 `H` 触发那次一次性推导 ⇒ API 名 `h`，此后每一击都不再更新

⭐ 同一个目标字符串、两种到达方式、结果不同 —— 这把结论从"推导有 bug"精确到"推导只在第一次 label 变化时触发一次，并取那一刻的 label"。这是本轮见到的最干净的行为诊断之一：⛔ 接手者不需要重新猜机制。

而且作者还测了第三件事：事后再编辑 label 也不会重新推导 ⇒ 不是"节流没配好"，是"只跑一次"。

定级理由 —— `priority:p2`

正常打字的用户拿到一个永久的一字母列名。卡片说得准：h 会漏进 REST API、公式和导出，而屏幕上没有任何东西告诉用户 API 名在第一个字符之后就不再跟随 label 了。
这不是显示问题 —— 它写进数据模型。
⚠️ 它是 Studio: new field's API name doesn't follow the label before first save (permanent field_N columns) #2260（已于 2026-07-05 关闭）的部分回归，那张卡要求的正是"字段未保存时 API 名跟随 label"。⇒ 已经修过一次的行为退化了。

不上 p1：保存前可见可改（API 名输入框就在旁边显示着 h），用户可以手动改对；且不影响已存在的数据。

定型：Bug，不踩 manual floor

恢复 #2260 已裁定的行为（未保存时持续同步，首次保存时锁定）⇒ 不新增授权面、不改协议。

⛔ 给执行席的边界

⭐ 期望行为已由 Studio: new field's API name doesn't follow the label before first save (permanent field_N columns) #2260 定义，照它做，⛔ 不要重新设计："While the field is new/unsaved, keep syncing the API name from the label on every change (the object/app identifier behaviour), and lock it on first save." ⚠️ 注意括号里那句 —— 对象/应用的标识符已经是这个行为，所以本仓里有现成的正确样板可抄。⛔ 别自己发明一套。
两个边界都要钉：
- 未保存时逐键同步（⛔ 用 pressSequentially 或等价的多次 change 事件，一次 fill 的测试今天就通过，抓不住它）；
- 首次保存后锁定（改 label 不再动 API 名）。
  ⛔ 只钉第一条，修复可能会变成"永远跟随"，那会在已保存字段上造成更糟的后果。
⚠️ 用户已经手动改过 API 名之后怎么办，是这条同步逻辑必须显式回答的第三种状态。⛔ 无条件跟随会把用户的手动修改覆盖掉。Studio: new field's API name doesn't follow the label before first save (permanent field_N columns) #2260 若没写明，请在 PR 里给出并说明理由。
⚠️ 这是 Studio 的授权面，作者在这里犯的错会固化成 schema。⭐ 建议顺带考虑：当 API 名与 label 的推导值不一致时，给一个可见的提示（而不是静默）——⛔ 但那是加分项，不要因此拖住主修复。

⛔ 分诊席不认领、不派单、不写码。

PM 裁定

分诊席（os-zhuang）的四条边界我全部背书，并补裁它标为"必须显式回答"的第三态：

⭐ 裁定：用户一旦手动编辑过 API 名，同步立即停止（一个 dirty 标记），此后 label 再改也不跟随。 理由：覆盖用户显式输入，比"不再同步"更坏——它把用户刚写下的东西无声地抹掉。这不是新策略，它和 #2260 的 "lock it on first save" 是同一条原则（一旦这个值有了权威来源，推导就让位）在更早的触发点上的应用。⛔ 不要做"无条件跟随"。

其余按 #2260 的既定行为做，⛔ 不要重新设计：

未保存且用户未手改 ⇒ 每一次 label 变化都重新推导；
首次保存后锁定；
手改后锁定（上面这条裁定）。

⛔ 三条边界都要有测试，且第 1 条必须用多次 change 事件（pressSequentially 或等价的逐次 change）——分诊席已经指出：一次 fill 的测试今天就通过，抓不住这个缺陷。请把"一次 fill 通过、逐键失败"这个对照当作红/绿证据的一部分。

⭐ 仓内已有正确样板（对象 / 应用标识符的推导），照抄它的姿态，⛔ 别自造第二套。

⚠️ 分诊席建议的"推导值与 API 名不一致时给可见提示"是加分项，⛔ 不要因此拖住主修复；若做不进来，作为 out-of-scope finding 报回。

ObjectFieldInspector.deriveNameFor asked 'is this API name still auto-generated?' by pattern-matching entry.name against the placeholder shapes (field_N / TYPE / TYPE_N), and its own first rename destroyed that shape: field_10 became h on the H, after which every later keystroke was ignored. The inspector now RECORDS who owns the API name ('label' while the derivation owns it, 'author' the moment anyone types in the API name box) instead of re-reading the answer off a string the feature itself rewrites - the same posture CreateViewDialog's nameTouched and useCreateDerive's touched set already use. All three ruled boundaries hold and each has a test: re-derive on every label change while new+untouched; never rename a field that arrived already named; stop once the author edits the API name, including when what they typed is SHAPED like a placeholder (a hand-typed field_9, which no pattern-match on the string alone can tell from nextFieldName() output).

No dist is involved (the test imports the source module directly), so no rebuild leg applies. Each mutation was proven ON DISK before running: anchor count flipped 1 to 0 for the exact text meant to move, and git hash-object differed from the HEAD blob. Restored via 'git checkout HEAD -- ABSOLUTE_PATH' inside a trap on EXIT INT TERM, and restoration proven BY STATE both times, not by exit code: 'git diff HEAD' listed no file and git hash-object returned the HEAD blob e2569f375b95df7f07ce43dadff3506c98e70e75. Leg (a) dropped the \"owner === 'label' ||\" arm: 'Tests 3 failed | 4 passed', naming itself as 'keeps syncing on EVERY keystroke...', 'tracks a label the author keeps editing...', 'stops the moment the author edits the API name themselves'. Leg (b) dropped \"if (owner === 'author') return null;\": 'Tests 1 failed | 6 passed', naming itself as 'stops even when the author typed something SHAPED like an auto name' -- so the third-state guard is independently load-bearing, not redundant with the pattern check.

    "NOT filed, needs a decision only you can make (it is clause-2 work): 'lock on first save' is enforced here by the placeholder-shape check, which is the only save signal this inspector can see. The record therefore does NOT end at the 1.5s draft auto-save (useDraftAutoSave) - deliberately, since if that counted as the save, per-keystroke sync would be impossible by construction. Residual window: the same mounted inspector session in which the field was created, where a label edit after an auto-save still moves the name. A published or reloaded field is locked correctly (fresh mount, no record, non-placeholder name). Closing the window needs the host to pass 'this field is persisted' - a new prop on MetadataInspectorProps, which this card's clause-2 'no' forbids.",
    "TESTED AND DISPROVED, so no card: I suspected the API name box had a typing dead-end: typing a name whose prefix collides with an existing field (status_2 past an existing status) has the colliding keystroke silently dropped by setKey, so the author might land on statu_2. Measured with a throwaway probe in the worktree (since deleted, tree clean at 864cd7e4c): typing status_2 one key at a time reaches status_2 correctly. The only residual is that the colliding keystroke is dropped with no message on screen, which does not change the value the author ends up with. Reporting it so the negative result does not have to be re-measured."

落地记录 —— PR #7819 已合入（本 lane 今日第 28 次落地）

4 files, +261 / −4；closing keyword 只有 #7615；卡片 closed_at 00:30:13Z

⭐ 两条值得留下来的读数

1. ⭐⭐ 根因比卡片说的更精确：那次推导是被它自己的第一次改名毁掉的。

deriveNameFor 判断「这个 API 名还是自动生成的吗」的方式，是拿 entry.name 去匹配占位形状（field_N / TYPE / TYPE_N）。⇒ 它自己的第一次改名就把那个形状破坏了：field_10 在 H 上变成 h，此后每一次按键都被忽略。

修法不是修那个匹配，是换掉提问方式：现在记录谁拥有这个 API 名（'label' 期间由推导拥有，任何人一在 API 名输入框里打字就变 'author'），而不是每次去重新推断一个这个功能自己会改写的字符串。⭐ 这与 CreateViewDialog 的 nameTouched、useCreateDerive 的 touched 是同一种姿态 —— 仓里已有的正确形状。

2. 那个记录法能钉住一件模式匹配永远做不到的事。

⭐ 三条边界各有测试，其中第三条是关键：作者手打了一个"长得像占位名"的名字（比如手写的 field_9）也会正确锁住 —— 任何只看字符串的模式匹配都分不出它和 nextFieldName() 的产出。消融 leg (b) 单独证明了这条守卫独立承重，不是模式检查的冗余。

⚠️ 残留窗口已单独立卡 #7824：「首次保存后锁定」没有真正的保存信号（1.5s 草稿自动保存故意不算，否则逐键同步在构造上就不可能），残留一个同一次挂载内的窗口；关掉它要给 MetadataInspectorProps 加 prop ⇒ Clause-② yes。
