The spec's `dataSource` element binding is read by nine blocks and declared by none — the html tier reports the one working saved-view spelling as `unknown-prop`

[claude]

Measured while re-anchoring objectui#6598 on origin/main @ ece68882. Filing, not claiming.

The finding

PageComponentSchema.dataSource — { object, view?, filter?, sort?, limit? }, the spec's per-element data binding — is the one spelling that resolves a saved view for an object-bound block on the html tier. It works. It also draws a diagnostic saying it does not exist.

Measured through the live path (registry-built manifest, the exact page.tsx html-kind construction, SchemaRenderer, the real plugin-list registration):

page source	compile diagnostics	columns that reach the grid
list-view with objectName + dataSource={{object:'opportunity', view:'all'}}	warning unknown-prop: list-view has no prop "dataSource"	['name','amount'] — resolved from the saved view ✅
list-view with objectName + viewName="all"	warning unknown-prop: list-view has no prop "viewName"	none
list-view with objectName + view="all"	warning unknown-prop: list-view has no prop "view"	none

So the working spelling and the two non-working ones are reported identically, and the tier's only signal points away from the one that works.

Mechanism

validateTree skips BASE_PROPS (the BaseSchema mirror: type, id, className, style, visible, visibleOn, disabled, disabledOn, children) and otherwise looks the prop up in the component's declared inputs. dataSource is in neither: git grep "name: 'dataSource'" packages/ returns zero registrations, and it is not a base prop.

But it is read — by ElementDataSourceGate in @object-ui/react, on behalf of every object-bound block that wraps itself in it (plugin-list, plugin-form, plugin-calendar, plugin-detail, plugin-charts, plugin-gantt, plugin-kanban, plugin-map, plugin-dashboard). It is a cross-block key of the same kind as style, published by the spec and consumed by the runtime, that the manifest has no way to describe.

Why this is not just noise

It is the objectstack#4413 shape inverted. That one was declared and unread; this one is read and undeclared — and the cost lands on the tier meant to accept AI-authored pages, where the diagnostic IS the contract. The objectui#6598 reporter tried viewName and view and gave up; the key that would have worked was the one the tier would also have told them does not exist.

The decision this needs

Two shapes, and picking between them is a declaration-surface call rather than a mechanical fix, which is why this is a card and not a PR:

• A — add dataSource to BASE_PROPS in packages/sdui-parser/src/validate.ts. One edit; but that set is documented as mirroring BaseSchema, and dataSource belongs to PageComponentSchema, so it would also silence the key on blocks that do not read it (flex, card).
• B — declare it on the inputs of each registration that wraps ElementDataSourceGate. Truthful per block and it reaches codegen and the designer; spans nine packages, and every one of them then owes the framework's spec/registry parity gate an answer.

Related: objectui#6598, objectui#5905 (manifest serializer keys with no reader), objectui#6150 (schema keys renderers read that no shipped type declares).

⚖️ RULED — 2026-08-29, maintainer, live director session batch #11 (session session_016SG9S6V15MqeAgkehDcTwk), verbatim: 「同意」 — adopting option B in the injection form: the dataSource input declaration is emitted mechanically at the ElementDataSourceGate wrapping seam, so every registration that wraps the gate (the nine object-bound blocks) declares the key from the same place that reads it — one mechanism, no nine hand-kept copies, no drift. The html tier stops reporting the one working saved-view spelling as unknown-prop; codegen and the designer see the input. ⛔ Option A (adding it to BASE_PROPS) is not taken — that set mirrors BaseSchema, and silencing the key on blocks that do not read it (flex, card) would make the diagnostic lie in the other direction. Pins: dataSource on a gate-wrapped block ⇒ no diagnostic + binding works; dataSource on a non-wrapped block ⇒ unknown-prop still fires.

Ruled here; execution routes through the normal dispatch lanes (seat boundary, maintainer instruction 2026-08-29). Card → pm:queue.

Claim: domain:ui execution seat, session session_01CRJge11jso9TpXRWFt1Z49.

Branch: claude/issue-6678-datasource-input-declaration-injection.

Dispatched as ruled work, executing option B in the injection form per the 2026-08-29 director ruling — verbatim 「同意」. The injection form is the load-bearing part and travels into the order as such: the declaration is emitted at the ElementDataSourceGate wrapping seam, from the same place that reads the key, so the nine object-bound blocks get it from one mechanism rather than nine hand-kept copies that can drift.

⛔ Option A (adding dataSource to BASE_PROPS) is refused by the ruling and is out of scope: that set mirrors BaseSchema, and silencing the key on blocks that do not read it (flex, card) would make the diagnostic lie in the other direction. packages/sdui-parser/src/validate.ts is therefore read-only for this card.

Declared file face for the cross-lane in-flight check: packages/react/src/ — ElementDataSourceGate and the wrapping seam where the injection lands — plus new pins. The nine wrapping registrations (plugin-list, plugin-form, plugin-calendar, plugin-detail, plugin-charts, plugin-gantt, plugin-kanban, plugin-map, plugin-dashboard) are expected to be read, and ⛔ NOT to receive nine hand-written copies of the declaration — if the injection cannot reach them from one place, that is a stop-and-report, not a licence to fan out.

The ruling's pins are the acceptance criterion, both directions: dataSource on a gate-wrapped block ⇒ no diagnostic and the binding works; dataSource on a non-wrapped block ⇒ unknown-prop still fires.
