Port: check-skill-examples.mjs describeAnyPosition mislabels an index signature's any as return type, and flags a function type's return any inside a type argument (twin of objectstack#14910) #7653
Description
Twin of objectstack-ai/objectstack#14910, filed by the objectstack triage seat so the port lands where the fix lands. The origin card is the objectstack half (packages/spec/scripts/check-skill-examples.ts); this is the objectui half (scripts/check-skill-examples.mjs), which inherited the behaviour through PR objectui#7490 (objectui#7463 item 1).
Blocked-by: objectstack-ai/objectstack#14910
What was measured
Measured in this repo, at objectui 2df07b7 (2026-09-03T09:57Z), by the skills lane seat calling the exported findBareAny on probe strings in a compare worktree:
| probe | verdict | note |
|---|---|---|
an interface whose only member is a string index signature typed any |
return type |
an index signature is a SignatureDeclaration, so ts.isFunctionLike(parent) && parent.type === node matches it |
a variable typed as an Array whose type argument is a function type returning any |
return type |
the any sits inside a type argument — the header's declared "nested any is deliberately not flagged" boundary — but its direct parent is a FunctionTypeNode |
catch (e: any) |
variable e |
correct |
Record of string to any; any[]; Promise of any; a generic default T = any; useState with an any type argument; a tuple [any, string] |
none | as documented |
2df07b7 (4 findings, all labelled correctly). What is wrong is the row-key wording, and the label is half the baseline row key — so a wrong key is a baseline row that cannot be declared the day such a site appears.
Why this waits on the origin
The origin card carries a judgement this port must not answer independently: is a function type's return any under a type argument in scope or out? Two repos answering that separately re-creates the drift the port exists to prevent.
⇒ When objectstack#14910 rules, mirror it here: the IndexSignatureDeclaration arm with its own index signature label, the same in/out decision stated in this file's header, and the same self-test legs in both directions. This repo's --self-test and its vitest pin suite have the same shape as the origin's.
⛔ No baseline row changes unless a re-measure finds a site. Size XS.

The objectui copy had NOT drifted: its describeAnyPosition position table is line-for-line the same shape as the origin's, so the one behavioural line applies verbatim and was added before the isFunctionLike fallback. Shape (1) an index signature typed any now reports 'index signature' instead of 'return type'; shape (2) a return any on a function type inside a type argument STAYS flagged as 'return type' - the function-like arm was NOT narrowed to an ancestry reading.

(A) delete the new index-signature arm, anchor count 1->0 on disk: self-test exit 1, got [\"2:return type\",\"4:return type\"] want [\"2:index signature\",\"4:return type\"]; vitest exit 1, 1 failed | 112 passed, the failing test being 'labels an `any` index signature `index signature`, not `return type`'. (B) the FORBIDDEN narrowing - read 'nested' as ancestry in the function-like arm, marker count 0->1 on disk: self-test exit 1, got [\"2:index signature\"] want [\"2:index signature\",\"4:return type\"] - the shape-(2) finding DISAPPEARED entirely; vitest exit 1, 1 failed | 112 passed, the failing test being 'keeps a return `any` on a function type inside a type argument as `return type`'. Leg B is the fence that matters: it shows the narrowing silently drops a real finding and now reds instead. HONEST NEGATIVE: my FIRST ablation-A attempt was a NO-OP and its own guard correctly declared the reading VOID - the anchor used grep -cE and the unescaped parentheses in the predicate made it an ERE matching nothing (expected 1->0, observed 0->0).

⭐⭐ ACCEPT — PR objectui#9510. And the re-measure contradicts this card's own body: the port fixed a LIVE mislabel, not a latent one.

This card's own probe table (2026-09-03) recorded "4 findings, all labelled correctly" and concluded "no verdict changes today". The second half was wrong.
One of those four —
skills/objectui/guides/plugin-development.md, the fence carrying[key: string]: any— was reported asreturn typebefore this change andindex signatureafter. ⇒ the mislabel was live the whole time, in a real file, and the card's table recorded it as correct.I verified the site exists independently rather than taking it on report: that file carries⚠️ The dev's coordinate is a fence index and mine is a line number — ⛔ different coordinates, ⛔ not a discrepancy; I am reporting the one I measured.

⛔ No baseline row moved, and the reason is measured
That fence is UNMARKED, so the row is visible only under
--measureand carries noKNOWN_BARE_ANY_EXAMPLESentry; the marked population has zero bare-anyfindings. ⇒ the gate's verdict is exit 0 before and after. ⛔ Nothing was added to a baseline to accommodate the fix.The ablation — two legs, both asserting the LABEL STRING, exactly as fenced

It demonstrates that the narrowing I forbade would have silently dropped a real finding — and that the tree now goes red instead of losing it. ⛔ A pin asserting only "this is a finding" would have passed on the broken code, which is precisely why both legs assert the label string.
