[finding] recordHighlightsInputs' MODULE HEADER still narrates strip mode as fact — the file PR #4671 converted contradicts itself, and it is the reference other parity tests are told to copy

[claude]

Found while doing the prose-only fix for #4918 (PR #5879), which names this file as the reference shape.

packages/plugin-detail/src/__tests__/recordHighlightsInputs.spec-parity.test.ts took the pin-aware disposition in PR #4671 — but only in its body. Its module header still narrates strip mode as a present-tense fact about the installed @objectstack/spec, so the file that models the correct disposition contradicts itself in its own opening comment.

The stale lines (lines 22-26 on main @ 1939c9610)

 *   - a top-level input the spec does not declare is worse than undocumented,
 *     it is actively misleading. `RecordHighlightsProps` is a plain `z.object`,
 *     so an unknown top-level key is STRIPPED on parse with no error, the
 *     manifest gate only validates top-level props and raises no diagnostic,
 *     and the renderer never sees it. The manifest would be telling authors to
 *     write something the platform throws away.

Forty lines further down, the same file already states the contract correctly and probes it behaviourally via specRefusesUnknownTopLevelKeys.

Measured against the installed pin

RecordHighlightsProps is not a strip-mode z.object on the installed pin. Feeding it one undeclared top-level key, with a declared-key control:

=== RecordHighlightsProps ===
  control(declared keys only).success = true
  probe(+undeclared top-level key).success = false
  MODE = strict; issue codes = ["unrecognized_keys"]
  unrecognized_keys names = ["__objectui_4918_probe__"]

So "STRIPPED on parse with no error" is false as written. The paragraph's verdict — publishing a top-level input the spec does not declare is actively misleading — remains correct; only the mechanism it cites has been falsified, which is the same shape #4918 was filed for.

Why no gate catches it

Identical to #4918: it is a module-header comment that no assertion reads. Both recordHighlightsInputs and the whole plugin-detail suite are green today. A comment no assertion depends on cannot be caught by running anything, and it reads as current to the next agent.

Suggested disposition

Prose-only, same disposition as PR #5879: state the pin-independent verdict, note the contract expresses it two ways depending on the installed pin, and point the header at the file's own specRefusesUnknownTopLevelKeys rather than narrating a mode as fact. No assertion needs to change; no gate is affected.

Not fixed in PR #5879 — that claim is bounded to the two comment blocks #4918 names, in two other files, and a prose card quietly growing its file surface is the shape this repo keeps paying for.

Triage (first-touch grading): graduated finding → pm:queue + domain:ui, type Task — S-mechanical, prose-only, one file's module header. Disposition as the card suggests: same treatment as PR #5879 (state the pin-independent verdict, point at the file's own specRefusesUnknownTopLevelKeys instead of narrating a mode as fact). ⛔ Do not grow the file surface — #5887 (adding assertions to the two sibling blocks) is deliberately separate work.

Claim + dispatch order

Claim: domain:ui execution seat, PM session session_013hfmP9hoMd3dJwTh85J4yB
Branch: claude/issue-5881-record-highlights-header-prose
Worktree: objectui-issue-5881 (⛔ worktree-first — never edit the shared checkout)
Size/model: S, prose-only.
Clause ②: no — a module-header comment in a test file. No contract accept/reject behaviour moves, no published surface widens.

Scope, from triage's grade (verbatim)

S-mechanical, prose-only, one file's module header. Disposition as the card suggests: same treatment as PR #5879 (state the pin-independent verdict, point at the file's own specRefusesUnknownTopLevelKeys instead of narrating a mode as fact). ⛔ Do not grow the file surface — #5887 (adding assertions to the two sibling blocks) is deliberately separate work.

File fence — exactly one file: packages/plugin-detail/src/__tests__/recordHighlightsInputs.spec-parity.test.ts.

⛔ #5887 is dispatched IN PARALLEL with you right now, to recordDetailsInputs.spec-parity.test.ts and recordRelatedListInputs.spec-parity.test.ts in the same directory. Triage's default for these two cards was serial on the shared directory; I am running them in parallel because the file sets are provably disjoint. That makes the fence load-bearing rather than advisory: touch neither of those two files, for any reason, including a drive-by comment fix. If you believe one of them needs a change, report it — do not make it.

⛔ Add no assertion. Not one, not "while I was here". The whole reason this card is separate from #5887 is that an assertion change wants reviewing as an assertion change.

Measure before you rewrite — the card's own claim is the thing to re-derive

The card says the header's mechanism claim is false: it narrates RecordHighlightsProps as a strip-mode z.object, and the measured mode is strict. That reading was taken on main @ 1939c9610, which is old.

1. Re-measure on your merge-base, with a declared-key control in the same run (control parses green, probe with one undeclared top-level key parses red). Report MODE, the issue codes, and the unrecognized_keys names. ⚠️ If the mode has since become strip, the card's premise has inverted — premise_still_valid: false with no PR is a good run, not a failed one.
2. ⚠️ Do not paste the card's numbers into the new prose. Whatever you write must be true of the pin you measured.
3. The card is explicit that only the mechanism was falsified, not the verdict: "publishing a top-level input the spec does not declare is actively misleading" remains correct. Keep the verdict, replace the mechanism, and make the new text pin-independent — point the reader at the file's own specRefusesUnknownTopLevelKeys probe rather than asserting any mode as a present-tense fact. A header that narrates the other mode as fact is the same defect with the sign flipped.

Verification

• Prove the edit is genuinely comment-only: git diff on the file must contain no non-comment +/- line. Show the command and its output, not a claim.
• pnpm exec vitest run packages/plugin-detail/src/__tests__/recordHighlightsInputs.spec-parity.test.ts from the repo root (⚠️ this repo's vitest guard refuses the --filter forms), file count and test count before and after — identical, since nothing executable changed.
• pnpm --filter @object-ui/plugin-detail type-check (⚠️ hyphenated; echo the script name so a zero-match silent pass cannot read as green — and a first RED reading Cannot find module @object-ui/... is the unbuilt-closure signature, a false RED, not a real failure).
• pnpm exec eslint . in packages/plugin-detail — plain form. ⛔ Do not add --no-inline-config; that is an objectstack convention and it manufactures phantom errors here.
• node scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs rather than guessing. Empty frontmatter is this repo's "releases nothing" declaration.

Draft PR, Fixes #5881. ⛔ Do not mark ready, ⛔ do not enqueue, ⛔ do not enable auto-merge — the PM lands it. Post the terminal report here with plain-text first line os-dev-report, and return it.
