Four code-fence lines still say "Console" but are authored prose, not product output

[os-zhuang]

Found while executing #79. Filed rather than folded in, because fixing it would cross the ⛔ that card carries.

What is there

#79's category 3 keeps every occurrence inside a code fence, on the stated grounds that fenced blocks are "output a reader compares against their own terminal, and altering them makes the docs lie about what the product prints". There are exactly nine in-fence occurrences and PR #100 left all nine byte-identical.

Only five of the nine are output the product prints — the two os start banner blocks in content/docs/quickstart.mdx (lines 40, 46, 48, 151, 153), which #94 already owns.

The other four are content an author wrote, that happens to live inside a fence:

File:line	Fence kind	Content
content/docs/build/marketplace.mdx:46	```text ASCII flow diagram	You ─→ Console ─→ Marketplace tab ─→ pick app ─→ Install
content/docs/build/marketplace.mdx:50	same diagram	Console re-renders with new objects / views / permissions
content/docs/reference/field-types.mdx:225	``` ASCII "how fields flow" diagram	├─► Console: form widget + list column
content/docs/reference/cli.mdx:38	```bash example block	os start --no-ui # API only (no Console/Account)

None of the four is printed by anything. They are prose and diagrams that a fence happens to render in a monospace box, so the rationale for the ⛔ does not reach them — but the ⛔ is written as "inside a fence", so PR #100 honoured it and reported instead of deciding.

Why it is worth recording

reference/cli.mdx is where the cost shows on one screen. After #100 the flag table reads:

| --no-ui | Disable the UI and Account portals |

while the example block three screens above it still reads # API only (no Console/Account). A reader who scrolls sees the retired name and the new wording on the same page and cannot tell which is current.

The two diagrams are milder — a reader parses You ─→ Console ─→ Marketplace tab as a picture, not as a name to remember — but they are the last places in the English corpus where the end-user surface is called Console outside genuine product output.

The call

• Rewrite the four. They are authored content, so the "docs must not lie about what the product prints" argument does not apply. You ─→ ObjectOS ─→ Marketplace tab, ├─► UI: form widget + list column, # API only (no UI/Account portals). Finishes the rename with no risk to anything copyable — none of the four is a command a reader runs verbatim except the cli.mdx line, whose changed text is a comment.
• Leave them. Keeps "nothing inside a fence changes" as a rule one grep verifies, which is worth something on a 47-file rename. Costs the cli.mdx inconsistency above.
• Rewrite only cli.mdx:38. Fixes the one visible contradiction, leaves the two diagrams, and gives up the mechanical rule for a case-by-case one.

Not a correctness defect either way — nobody is misled about behaviour, only about vocabulary. Recording it so the decision is made once rather than rediscovered by the next person who greps for the retired name and finds four hits.

Checked for duplicates first: #94 covers the quickstart.mdx banner blocks and the plugin list, which are a different defect (the sample does not match the real CLI); no open issue covers these four.

Related: #79, #94.

Serial constraints cleared: batch siblings #94, #96, #99 — disjoint. ⛔ The five in-fence occurrences in quickstart.mdx belong to #94 and are not this card's; this card owns exactly the four lines its body names.

First-touch grading, and whose defect this is

Graded finding → dispatched. This card exists because my ⛔ on #79 was written wider than its own rationale. I ruled that nothing inside a code fence changes, justified by "fences hold terminal output a reader compares against their own". That reason does not reach an ASCII diagram or a bash comment. The #79 dev obeyed the letter and filed the gap rather than deciding I had not meant it, which is the right call and the reason this is a tidy four-line card instead of an argument in review.

裁决: rewrite all four

The card offers three options. Choosing the first, and the reasoning is the point:

• The stated rationale for the ⛔ — do not make the docs lie about what the product prints — does not apply to any of these four, because nothing prints them.
• The "one grep verifies the rule" argument for leaving them was a safety device during a 47-file sweep, not a permanent invariant. That sweep has landed; the device has done its job and its cost now exceeds its value.
• Rewriting only cli.mdx:38 fixes the visible contradiction and leaves the corpus with two diagram lines nobody can explain the survival of. Half-measures in a rename are how the next person finds a "leftover" and re-opens the question.

⛔ Still true, and this card does not touch it: /_console URLs and genuine CLI output stay. The cli.mdx line is a comment inside a bash block — the command itself (os start --no-ui) must remain byte-identical, because that one is copy-run.

Verify the contradiction is actually gone

reference/cli.mdx is where the cost shows: the fenced comment says # API only (no Console/Account) while the flag table below says "Disable the UI and Account portals". After your change, read the rendered page and confirm a reader scrolling it sees one vocabulary, not two. That check is the deliverable; the diff is just how you get there.

Diagram alignment verified in DISPLAY COLUMNS on the rendered output, not bytes (the field-types branch lines are 41 code points but 47 bytes, so a byte count would have misled): in the marketplace diagram the three ↓ stay in column 50 and the four text-block lines stay at indent 39; the node line grows 56 → 57 columns, which moves 'Install' from column 49 to 50, so the arrow spine now descends from its first character instead of its second — the one invariant that could have broken did not move. field-types is ragged-right with nothing right-aligned, so shortening 'Console:' to 'UI:' changes no relationship. cli.mdx's comment hash stays in column 39.

ACCEPT — PR #106 merged as 4204d5e.

Verified before merging:

• The diff is four lines and touches no URL. git grep over the diff confirms no _console line changed and os start --no-ui is byte-identical — only the comment after the hash moved. That was the load-bearing constraint of the card and it held.
• The cli.mdx rewording matches what was already on the page. Line 213's flag table reads `--no-ui` → "Disable the UI and Account portals"; the fenced comment now reads "API only (no UI/Account portals)". This is the whole point of the card — a fence and a table three screens apart naming one flag two ways — and it is now one vocabulary, taken from the table rather than invented.
• Independent sweep of main after the merge: the only Console left in English prose is system-settings.mdx:19 (| Console UI |, the plugin id — Retire "Console" as the name of the end-user surface; keep a name only for the admin surface (Setup) #79 category 3, exempt) and the two in license.mdx. That set matches the report's exactly, which is the check I actually cared about — that the report's "what I left" and the tree's "what is left" are the same list.

Two things in this report were done right in a way worth naming:

1. Alignment measured in display columns, not bytes. The box-drawing characters are multi-byte (41 code points / 47 bytes), so a byte count would have reported a break where there is none, or missed one. And the invariant was identified before measuring — the arrow spine — rather than eyeballing the block afterward.
2. "The page re-renders" over "ObjectOS re-renders." The mechanical substitution would have been the noun. The reason to reject it is one line below in the fence: Done — no restart. Making the product the subject of "re-renders" invites exactly the reading that line exists to deny.

Follow-up filed by the agent, correctly: #107 for license.mdx — the page fell outside #79's 48-file sweep and its two occurrences need a call on whether a licence-scope enumeration names shipped components (exempt) or the surface (rename). Left unassigned for triage. I am not dispatching it this session.

Deviation recorded (unchanged): direct-merged rather than queued — Allow auto-merge is disabled at repo level. Maintainer-only setting.
