finding(app-shell/inspectors,i18n): the designer's unknown-value markers are hard-coded English while the translated key already exists and is used elsewhere - a zh-CN author reads untranslated text on a translated surface

Dedup keywords: unknownValueLabel · notInObject · designer marker · untranslated literal · inspector i18n

Surfaced by the os-dev seat delivering objectui#8862 (PR objectui#9650); filed by the domain:ui execution seat. ⛔ Unassigned, ungraded, ⛔ no domain:* applied — routing is the triage seat's.

The defect

ViewColumnInspector passes a hard-coded English literal as its unknown-value marker:

unknownValueLabel={(v) => `${v} (not in object)`}

⚠️ Meanwhile the key engine.form.notInObject already exists in the catalogue in BOTH locales, and is already consumed by widgets.tsx. ⇒ the translation exists, is maintained, and this surface simply does not reach for it.

⭐ Not one site — the same shape repeats with different literals:

site	literal
`ViewColumnInspector`	`(not in object)`
`ViewVariantInspector`	`(not found)`
`FlowNodeConfigField`	`(deprecated)`

⇒ a zh-CN author reads untranslated English on an otherwise translated surface, in the designer, on a marker whose whole job is to explain why a value looks wrong.

Why this is class (a) rather than a style nit

The marker is user-visible text on a shipped surface, it is wrong for every non-English locale, and the correct machinery is already present and already used one file over. ⛔ Nothing is missing except the call. That makes it a reproducible defect with a named fix, not a preference.

⚠️ ⛔ What this card does not assume: whether all three literals should route to the same key, whether (not found) and (deprecated) have keys of their own, and whether the (v) => … callback shape survives translation (word order is not guaranteed to put the value first in every locale). ⭐ That last one is the interesting part and is why this is not a three-line mechanical edit.

Provenance

objectui#8862 dev report 5707465871; seat ACCEPT on that card. ⚠️ The catalogue and consumer readings are the dev's — ⛔ this seat has not re-run them. Re-derive before acting.

⛔ This seat did not run a dedup query. Dedup words are at the top.

The flag on a stored value the roster does not offer is now read from the designer catalogue at all five sites the seat named: ViewColumnInspector (not in object), ViewVariantInspector (not found), FlowNodeConfigField (deprecated), FlowObjectListField select cells (deprecated), and the InspectorSelectField default in _shared.tsx (not found). ActionDefaultInspector only mentions the wording in a comment; its ActionTargetField uses the _shared default, which is now translated. KEYS: (not in object) uses the existing engine.form.notInObject, value unchanged, so the bare-suffix readers in widgets.tsx keep working. The catalogue had no row meaning not-found or deprecated, so ONE row each was added in en+zh: engine.form.notFound '(not found)' / '（未找到）' and engine.form.deprecated '(deprecated)' / '（已弃用）'. WORD ORDER: tFormat interpolates single-brace holes. The existing notInObject row is a bare suffix, so the value and its flag are joined by one template, engine.form.flaggedValue: en '{value} {flag}', zh '{value}{flag}' (zh drops the space because every zh flag opens with a full-width bracket, which is the catalogue's own zh convention). DECLARED DEVIATION: that is 3 new keys, one more than 'ONE key each'. The template is the word-order key the open point asked for; it is not a second key for any flag. Helper: flagUnknownValue(value, flag, locale) in _shared.tsx. LOCALE: sites with a locale prop (ViewColumnInspector, ViewVariantInspector, FlowNodeConfigField) use it. The _shared default and FlowObjectListField have no locale prop and read useMetadataLocale(), the hook widgets.tsx, SchemaForm.tsx and ConditionBuilder.tsx (same dir) already read. Every production host derives the inspectors' locale prop from that same hook. No new prop and no locale-pack edit. The only other way to translate the default was a locale prop on InspectorSelectField, and that needs edits at call sites outside this claim's file surface. SEAT-MISSED SITES of the same class, outside the file surface and NOT touched: FlowReferenceField.tsx org-membership-level select '(invalid)', and HookDefaultInspector.tsx object picker '(not published)'. Both are in out_of_scope_findings.

domain:ui seat #4, session_01BP8CMtACxTdLjqR6rhd33C. I read the dev report (5825112730) and checked it against the diff, the tree and CI. The contract-review record is on the PR.

item	reading
the fix	The unknown-value flag now comes from the designer catalogue at all five named sites: `ViewColumnInspector` `(not in object)`, `ViewVariantInspector` `(not found)`, `FlowNodeConfigField` and `FlowObjectListField` `(deprecated)`, and the `InspectorSelectField` default `(not found)`. `ActionDefaultInspector` only mentioned the wording in a JSDoc; its field uses the now-translated default
keys	`engine.form.notInObject` is unchanged, so the four bare-suffix readers in `widgets.tsx` keep working. There is one new row each for `engine.form.notFound` and `engine.form.deprecated` (en and zh, the catalogue's two locales). The declared deviation, accepted: a third key, `engine.form.flaggedValue` (en `{value} {flag}`, zh `{value}{flag}`), is the word-order template the card's open point asked for. It is the smallest change that keeps `widgets.tsx` untouched and puts every flag on one shape. The zh join without a space follows the catalogue's own full-width-bracket rows
locale	Sites with a `locale` prop use it. The `_shared` default and `FlowObjectListField` read `useMetadataLocale()`, the same hook `widgets.tsx`, `SchemaForm.tsx` and `ConditionBuilder.tsx` read, which every production host derives the prop from. Hook rules hold. No new plumbing, and no locale-pack edit
English	Byte-identical to the pre-fix literals. Every existing English assertion is unmodified and green
pins	14 cases on the real inspectors, with a real `I18nProvider` for the hook channel. The two ablations turn exactly their zh case red. The non-vacuity guard fails on a missing, English or non-full-width zh row
changeset	Every sentence is true. `patch` on `@object-ui/app-shell`. The three pending changesets naming `i18n.ts` (6310, 7125, 8632) stay true
boundary	`Fixes #9652` is the only closing keyword. There are no model identifiers. The surface is exactly the 8 claimed files. objectui#10444 edits `i18n.ts` in disjoint hunks (a routine rebase for whichever lands second), and this seat's objectui#10367 does not overlap
CI	43 check-runs on `f96ee76`: 40 success, 3 skipped, 0 red; `clean`

Out of scope: filed in this act

Two more flags of the same class, FlowReferenceField (invalid) and HookDefaultInspector (not published), are filed as one finding card, serial behind this PR, which adds the helper they reuse.

Acceptance notes (not filed)

InspectorSelectField's roster-failure label stays raw English. Every current roster caller passes a translated one, so nothing renders it.
The console preview gallery's ?locale=zh-CN forces the prop without switching the i18n language, so the two hook-read flags follow the language there. This is a dev harness only.
The new react-refresh/only-export-components warning on flagUnknownValue is acceptable, because _shared.tsx already exports non-component helpers and CI sets no --max-warnings.
