chore(spec)!: retire the compactLayout alias + transition mirror (#2536) (#2539)

os-zhuang · claude · web-flow · commit 6a9397ed804d · 2026-07-03T18:58:04.000+08:00
The ADR-0085 deprecation window is closed: consumers switched in objectui#2168, shipped via the console pin (#2526), one release soaked. - ObjectSchema drops the compactLayout declaration: create() rejects it (unknown key), lenient parse strips it — no silent aliasing either way. - normalizeSemanticRoleAliases loses both directions (alias + the #2521 back-fill mirror); served metadata carries highlightFields only. - 27 straggler system-object authors (plugins/services, missed by the #2521 sweep — the type gate caught the first one) renamed. - liveness ledger drops the compactLayout row; the dogfood mirror assertion (#2528) flips to expect ABSENCE, exactly as it was designed to force in the retirement PR. - Downstream smoke pin → hotcrm v1.2.2 (hotcrm#424, same rename). spec 6666 + dogfood 181 green; api-surface unchanged; check:liveness ✓. Closes #2536 Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+Retire the deprecated `compactLayout` alias for `highlightFields` (framework#2536, closes the ADR-0085 deprecation window).
+
+- `ObjectSchema` no longer declares `compactLayout`: `create()` rejects it like any unknown key; lenient `parse()` strips it (no silent aliasing).
+- The parse-time alias AND the `highlightFields → compactLayout` back-fill transition mirror are removed from `normalizeSemanticRoleAliases`. Served metadata now carries the canonical key only.
+- All remaining first-party authors (27 system objects across plugin-audit / approvals / security / sharing / webhooks / service-storage / automation / messaging / realtime — missed by the #2521 sweep, caught by the type gate) renamed to `highlightFields`.
+- The downstream smoke pin moves to hotcrm v1.2.2 (hotcrm#424: same rename + deps ^11.7.0).
+- Consumers were switched in objectui#2168 and shipped via the console pin bump (#2526); this closes the window scheduled there. The dogfood mirror assertion (#2528) flips to `compactLayout: undefined` in this same change, per the plan it carried.
+
+Version note: minor, not major — the key was deprecated-with-alias for a full release window, all first-party consumers/authors are migrated, and the spec api-surface gate reports no export changes (same documented-exception path as the ADR-0085 removals in 11.7.0). External metadata still authoring `compactLayout` will now fail `create()` loudly with the standard unknown-key error naming the key.
