+docs(spec): re-cite objectui's data-table column accessor as `accessorKey` only (#14166)
+
+Two notes in this package described objectui's `data-table` accessor as
+resolving two spellings, `accessorKey || name`:
+
+- `liveness/field.json` — the `relatedListColumns` entry's `note`
+- `src/conversions/registry.ts` — the `field-column-lists-canonicalized`
+  docblock
+
+objectui#6963 retired the `name` alias, and the console pin this repo builds
+against (`.objectui-sha` = `67dadd602a3a891666ea1513c5de677140784b6a`) contains
+it: at that commit the adapter maps `accessorKey: col.accessorKey` with no
+fallback (`packages/components/src/renderers/complex/data-table.tsx:872-876`),
+while `columnIdentity` still resolves canonical `field` first
+(`packages/core/src/utils/column-identity.ts:69`). Both notes described a
+two-spelling resolution that no longer exists, and each carried a measurement
+date that predated the retirement.
+
+Citation accuracy only. Both notes reach the same conclusion they already did —
+a spec-canonical `{ field }` object entry renders blank cells, so the
+conversion folds an object entry to its identity string and the parse refuses
+what has no resolvable identity. No verdict moves, no ledger state changes, no
+accepted shape moves, and no code changes: the `relatedListColumns` entry keeps
+its `live` status, its `verifiedAt`, its `evidence` and every count.
+
+Why this publishes at all: `liveness/**` is in this package's `files`, and the
+`registry.ts` docblock ships inside `dist/*.map` `sourcesContent`, so both
+edited byte-ranges are in the tarball.
