Implements steps 1 and 4 of objectstack-ai/objectstack#4074, filed off the back of objectstack#3856 / #2990.

What was wrong

packages/types/src/ui-action.ts imported exactly one of the spec's action vocabularies — ActionType, derived in #2231/#2901 — and hand-declared the rest under doc comments claiming spec canonicity. ActionLocation's comment was the clearest case:

Single source of truth lives in @objectstack/spec/ui as ACTION_LOCATIONS + ActionLocationSchema + ActionLocation. Re-export here…

The code below it re-declared a parallel union, as const tuple, and z.enum. That is why objectstack#3856 predicted a compile error when spec 17 removed action.execute and there wasn't one: nothing here was bound to the spec's z.infer, so a key removal upstream produced no signal in objectui.

Already drifted, not merely drift-prone

ActionParamSchema.type is FieldType.optional(), and FieldType carries 49 members. The hand-written ActionParamFieldType listed 16 — a strict subset. So a spec-valid param typed lookup / multiselect / currency / user / tags / json failed tsc against this package even though the dialog renders it. That is verbatim the failure ActionType had before it was derived (missing form while ActionRunner.executeForm implemented it), recorded in that fix's own comment.

Second drift: @object-ui/core's ActionParamDef declares 22 fields; the public ActionParam declared 9. The 13 missing ones are all consumed — app-shell's paramToField.ts maps them into the shared field-widget renderer (ADR-0059).

Changes

  • ActionLocation / ACTION_LOCATIONS / ActionLocationSchema are now the spec's own three symbols. The latter two stay value exports: @object-ui/types: decide the @objectstack/spec/ui re-export shape + bump spec pin to ^15 #2561 decision (a) drops spec/ui's …Schema names from this package's surface but explicitly keeps these two (asserted in spec-ui-schema-reexports.test.ts), so they must not sit in an export type block that would erase them to undefined.
  • ActionComponentNonNullable<Action['component']>. Read off the spec's resolved Action rather than ActionSchema.shape.component, because spec exports ActionSchema as a lazySchema proxy that does not forward .shape (its _def carries only type,in,out under zod v4).
  • ActionParamFieldType → the spec's FieldType, plus ACTION_PARAM_FIELD_TYPES as a runtime witness. A type alias erases, so identity against FieldType.options is the only thing that catches a future re-fork; it doubles as the list a param-type dropdown should render.
  • ActionParam gains the 13 optional capability fields it could not express: visible, accept, maxSize, multiple, and the lookup-picker group (referenceTo, displayField, idField, descriptionField, titleFormat, lookupColumns, lookupFilters, lookupPageSize, dependsOn).

A blind derivation would have broken authored metadata

paramToField.ts's PARAM_TYPE_ALIASES still accepts checkboxboolean, referencelookup, datetime-localdatetime. None is a spec FieldType, so deriving ActionParamFieldType alone would have turned live authored params into type errors.

They are now declared as ObjectUiLocalParamFieldType / OBJECTUI_LOCAL_PARAM_FIELD_TYPES, and ActionParam.type takes ResolvableParamFieldType (spec ∪ local) — the same shape this file already uses for navigation via ObjectUiLocalActionType / RunnableActionType, and for the same stated reason: a dialect hidden inside a Record<string, string> in another package is invisible to an importer.

The guard file's claimed enforcement did not exist

spec-derived-unions.test.ts's header said its satisfies checks "are the real enforcement". They are not, and this PR corrects the comment. Every package tsconfig excludes test files by glob (packages/types/tsconfig.json) and there is no vitest typecheck project, so no tsc invocation reads that file at all. Measured, not assumed: reverting ActionParamFieldType to the 16-member fork produced zero type errors.

So the #4074 cases are written as runtime identity and membership checks instead. This is pre-existing and wider than this PR — the ChartType / ReportType / ActionType / PageType satisfies checks in the same file are equally inert, meaning the anti-regression mechanism left behind by #2944/#2901 is not running in CI. Flagged for its own issue rather than fixed here; making tests type-checked will surface a backlog that needs its own estimate.

Verification

  • Discrimination check — against the pre-fix source, the new identity guard fails with AssertionError: … Object.is equality (a faithful copy fails, which is the point) and the alias guard fails on the missing const. 9 passed / 2 failed. The satisfies additions did not fail, which is precisely how the inert-enforcement finding above was discovered.
  • pnpm type-check76/76 tasks.
  • pnpm vitest run714 files / 8361 tests passed, 1 file / 24 tests skipped.
  • packages/types suites: 16 files / 246 tests. Action suites across core + components + app-shell: 13 files / 263 tests.
  • eslint on changed files: 0 errors (7 pre-existing any warnings in untouched regions; the diff adds none).
  • @objectstack/spec confirmed a real dependencies entry, not a devDependency — required, since the value re-exports make it a runtime dep where it was previously type-only.

tsc also caught a bug in this change mid-review: making ActionLocation a pure re-export removed it as a local name, breaking ActionSchema.locations?: ActionLocation[]. Fixed by importing it alongside the re-export.

Breaking

ActionParamFieldType widens from 16 members to 49, so an exhaustive switch over a param type in a host app stops being exhaustive. All 16 previous members remain valid, so no authored metadata breaks. The added ActionParam fields are optional and additive.

Not in scope

objectstack#4074 steps 2–3 stay open, both breaking in ways that need their own migration note: ActionParam's name / label / type are required here where the spec makes them optional, and the field / objectOverride field-reference form (spec's primary way to declare a param) remains unrepresentable. Narrowing @object-ui/core's ActionParamDef.type from string is deferred with them — it is the same decision, and objectstack#4075 covers that reader's looseness generally.

…k/spec (objectstack#4074)

`packages/types/src/ui-action.ts` imported exactly one of the spec's action
vocabularies — `ActionType`, derived in #2231/#2901 — and hand-declared the rest
under doc comments claiming spec canonicity. `ActionLocation`'s comment said the
single source of truth was `@objectstack/spec/ui` and that this file "re-export"s
it, while the code re-DECLARED a parallel union, `as const` tuple, and `z.enum`.

That is why objectstack#3856 predicted a compile error when spec 17 removed
`action.execute` and there wasn't one: nothing here was bound to the spec's
`z.infer`, so a key removal upstream produced no signal in objectui.

Already drifted, not merely drift-prone. `ActionParamSchema.type` is
`FieldType.optional()` and `FieldType` carries 49 members; the hand-written
`ActionParamFieldType` listed 16. A spec-valid param typed `lookup`,
`multiselect`, `currency`, `user`, `tags` or `json` failed `tsc` against this
package even though the dialog renders it — the same failure `ActionType` had
before it was derived (missing `form` while `executeForm` implemented it).

- `ActionLocation` / `ACTION_LOCATIONS` / `ActionLocationSchema` are now the
  spec's own three symbols. The latter two stay VALUE exports: #2561 decision
  (a) drops spec/ui's `…Schema` names from this package but explicitly keeps
  these, so they must not sit in an `export type` block that erases them.
- `ActionComponent` is `NonNullable<Action['component']>`, read off the spec's
  resolved `Action` rather than `ActionSchema.shape.component` — spec exports
  `ActionSchema` as a `lazySchema` proxy that does not forward `.shape`.
- `ActionParamFieldType` is the spec's `FieldType`, with
  `ACTION_PARAM_FIELD_TYPES` as a runtime witness: a type alias erases, so
  identity against `FieldType.options` is what catches a future re-fork.
- `ActionParam` gains the 13 optional capability fields it could not express
  (`visible`, `accept`, `maxSize`, `multiple`, and the lookup-picker group),
  all already declared by core's `ActionParamDef` and mapped into the shared
  field renderer by app-shell's `paramToField.ts` (ADR-0059).

A blind derivation would have broken authored metadata: `paramToField.ts`'s
`PARAM_TYPE_ALIASES` still accepts `checkbox`, `reference` and `datetime-local`,
none of which is a spec `FieldType`. They are now declared as
`ObjectUiLocalParamFieldType` and `ActionParam.type` takes
`ResolvableParamFieldType` (spec ∪ local) — the shape this file already uses for
`navigation`, so the dialect is visible to an importer instead of hidden in a
`Record<string, string>` in another package.

Also corrects this guard file's own claim. Its header said the `satisfies` checks
"are the real enforcement"; they are not. Every package tsconfig excludes test
files by glob and there is no vitest `typecheck` project, so no `tsc` invocation
reads that file — reverting `ActionParamFieldType` to the 16-member fork produces
zero type errors. The #4074 cases are therefore runtime identity and membership
checks, which do fail against the pre-fix source.

BREAKING CHANGE: `ActionParamFieldType` widens from 16 members to 49, so an
exhaustive `switch` over a param `type` stops being exhaustive. All 16 previous
members remain valid, so no authored metadata breaks. The new `ActionParam`
fields are optional and additive.

… guards actually run (objectstack#4074) (#3009)

`spec-derived-unions.test.ts` — the file that exists to stop a spec-derived
union from being re-forked into a hand-written copy — was not being compiled by
anything. Its header claimed the `satisfies` checks in it "are the real
enforcement"; measured, not assumed: reverting `ActionParamFieldType` from the
spec's `FieldType` back to a hand-written subset produced ZERO type errors.
It now produces TS1360 on the `satisfies` line.

`tsconfig.json` excludes test files — correctly, since it is the package build
(`rootDir` / `composite` / `declaration`), so tests would emit into dist — and
no other `tsc` invocation read them. The sibling guards over `ChartType`,
`ReportType`, `ActionType` and `PageType` were inert for the same reason, so the
anti-regression mechanism left behind by #2944 / #2901 was not running in CI.

The fix is `packages/types/tsconfig.test.json`, chained from the package's
`type-check` script — the shape this package already uses for
`tsconfig.examples.json`: a separate, emit-free project. Kept separate rather
than deleting the exclude so the BUILD stays honest: the reexport guard's source
scan needs `types: ["node"]`, and folding that into `tsconfig.json` would let
package source reference Node APIs and still compile, in a package that ships
to browsers.

Turning it on surfaced 39 pre-existing errors:
- `p2-spec-exports.test.ts` (22): imported eight `…Schema` names as types that
  #2561 decision (a) removed — contradicting the sibling guard that asserts
  their absence — and typed parse-INPUT fixtures as parsed OUTPUT (these
  schemas `.default()` several fields). Now `z.input<>`, the distinction spec
  itself draws with `ActionInput`.
- `app-creation-types` / `system-fields` (3): imported the package by its own
  name; turbo's `type-check` is `dependsOn: ["^build"]`, so the package's own
  dist does not exist when it runs. Now the relative import all siblings use.
- `p1-spec-alignment.test.ts` (14): excluded WITH a written reason — real debt,
  not hygiene. Every error sits in a test named "should accept <shape>" whose
  purpose is asserting the type accepts that shape, and the type rejects it;
  the shapes are real and handled (core's `foldSharing` et al.) but only as
  untyped input. Tracked on objectstack#4074.

Also corrects an overstatement in #3003: 33 of 41 package tsconfigs exclude
tests, not all — 5 packages already type-check theirs.
