fix(lint): consolidate did-you-mean suggestion helpers into object-graph's shared nearestName

[claude]

Fixes#14268

What changed

Four hand-copied "Did you mean?" helpers in packages/lint/src are now one shared helper. object-graph.ts's already-exported nearestName/suggestName gained the containment pre-pass that validate-widget-bindings.ts's private didYouMean carried, and the three private copies were deleted:

• validate-object-references.ts — deleted its private suggest/distance, imports suggestName from ./object-graph.
• validate-sortable-fields.ts — same.
• validate-widget-bindings.ts — deleted its private didYouMean/levenshtein/suggest, imports suggestName from ./object-graph.
• object-graph.ts — nearestName now checks containment first (matching c.length/target.length when one contains the other, scored by length delta) before falling back to Levenshtein distance within the existing max(2, floor(len/3)) budget; suggestName and the private distance (the one surviving edit-distance body) are unchanged. Docblock rewritten to describe the now-shared behaviour instead of pointing at the "consolidating the three copies is recorded as a follow-up" note this card resolves.

This is the ruling's decision (comment 5502887598 on #14268): the containment pre-pass becomes nearestName's behaviour for every caller, including object-graph.ts's own two describeFieldPathVerdict call sites (:325/:342, both already routed through suggestName).

Hints newly supplied

None. A/B comparison on the same base tree (commit fed4fa409, no test file touched): the full @objectstack/lint suite run with the four files at their origin/main state (93 files / 2812 tests passed, 5 skipped) and again with the port applied — byte-identical pass/fail results. No existing suggestion assertion needed a hint text change; the containment pre-pass is additive but none of the three rules' current test fixtures happen to exercise a containment-eligible typo the edit-distance budget didn't already catch. Re-run on the final merged tree (after picking up unrelated upstream commits) also passes clean: 93 files / 2817 tests passed, 0 skipped (the skip-count change is from unrelated upstream work, not this PR).

Verification

# zero hits

• pnpm --filter @objectstack/lint build — clean (dist emitted, no dangling references to the deleted functions).
• pnpm --filter @objectstack/lint typecheck — clean (tsc --noEmit + check:test-typecheck).
• pnpm --filter @objectstack/lint test — 93 files / 2817 tests passed on the final merged tree (commit referenced below).
• pnpm lint narrowed to the 5 touched files (--format json): 0 errors, 1 informational warning (.changeset/*.md has no ESLint config — expected, not a finding). The repo's eslint.config.mjs enables no type-aware linting (no parserOptions.project anywhere), so this diff cannot move any untouched file's verdict — the narrowed run is a complete reading of this diff's lint surface, not a partial one.
• Dispatch-gates union (28 commands derived from the touched-file surface) — all green except two expected NOT MEASURED (both require artifacts this local run cannot produce, not repo-scoped to this PR): check-test-completeness.mjs (needs a saved turbo run test log CI produces) and check:dual-build-cjs-loads (needs a full monorepo pnpm build, ~78 packages).

📓 Docs Drift Check

This PR changes 1 package(s): @objectstack/lint, touching 5 documentable anchor(s).

⛔ 2 release-owned page(s) name something this change touched. These are read-only:

• content/docs/releases/v16.mdx(via validateWidgetBindings (symbol, a top-level function))
• content/docs/releases/v17.mdx(via validateWidgetBindings (symbol, a top-level function))

content/docs/releases/ is RELEASE-OWNED (AGENTS.md "Documentation Guardrails"): release
notes are written centrally at release time, and a code PR that edits them is the exact PR
that guardrail exists to stop. They are still audited — read-only. If one of them is actually
wrong, file an issue or open a dedicated docs-only PR; do not edit it here.

What this run could not see

• 3 name(s) were too generic to anchor anything (single lowercase words)
• the SDK route bridge reached 47 of 219 client-bound route-ledger rows — the other 172 have no registrar path: tail to select them, so pages documenting THEIR client methods cannot appear above, on this or any run. Of those 172: 14 are remediable by widening that discovery convention (an in-repo file declares the path; the convention did not scan it); 56 are structural — on a ledger where NOT ONE row is declared in-repo, so no discovery change reaches them at any price; 102 are undecided (no in-repo declaration, on a ledger that has other in-repo registrars — absence and an unreadable spelling are not distinguishable here). The rows themselves: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --bridge-coverage
• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 5 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad → packageMentionDocs.

Which tree this was computed on

This run read content/docs from 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de — the merge of head 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa into base 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad, which is what actions/checkout gives a pull_request run. Not the PR head.

A worktree cut from an older main holds a different content/docs, so re-deriving there can legitimately return a different list — that is a different tree, not a wrong row. To answer on the same tree:

# while this PR is open — GitHub drops the merge commit once it closes
git fetch origin 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de && git checkout 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de
# afterwards, rebuild it from the two parents, which stay fetchable
git fetch origin 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa && git checkout -B drift-repro 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad && git merge --no-ff 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad

⚠️ That checkout carried uncommitted changes, so the commit above does not fully identify what was read.

Advisory only, and a precision-first one (#9192): a page is listed because it names a
symbol, wire route or SDK method this diff touched — not because it mentions a changed
package. Each row says which anchor put it there, so a wrong row is reportable rather than
merely annoying. To re-verify, run the docs-accuracy-audit workflow scoped to these files:

📓 Docs Drift Check

This PR changes 1 package(s): @objectstack/lint, touching 5 documentable anchor(s).

⛔ 2 release-owned page(s) name something this change touched. These are read-only:

• content/docs/releases/v16.mdx(via validateWidgetBindings (symbol, a top-level function))
• content/docs/releases/v17.mdx(via validateWidgetBindings (symbol, a top-level function))

content/docs/releases/ is RELEASE-OWNED (AGENTS.md "Documentation Guardrails"): release
notes are written centrally at release time, and a code PR that edits them is the exact PR
that guardrail exists to stop. They are still audited — read-only. If one of them is actually
wrong, file an issue or open a dedicated docs-only PR; do not edit it here.

What this run could not see

• 3 name(s) were too generic to anchor anything (single lowercase words)
• the SDK route bridge reached 47 of 219 client-bound route-ledger rows — the other 172 have no registrar path: tail to select them, so pages documenting THEIR client methods cannot appear above, on this or any run. Of those 172: 14 are remediable by widening that discovery convention (an in-repo file declares the path; the convention did not scan it); 56 are structural — on a ledger where NOT ONE row is declared in-repo, so no discovery change reaches them at any price; 102 are undecided (no in-repo declaration, on a ledger that has other in-repo registrars — absence and an unreadable spelling are not distinguishable here). The rows themselves: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --bridge-coverage
• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 5 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad → packageMentionDocs.

Which tree this was computed on

This run read content/docs from 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de — the merge of head 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa into base 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad, which is what actions/checkout gives a pull_request run. Not the PR head.

A worktree cut from an older main holds a different content/docs, so re-deriving there can legitimately return a different list — that is a different tree, not a wrong row. To answer on the same tree:

# while this PR is open — GitHub drops the merge commit once it closes
git fetch origin 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de && git checkout 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de
# afterwards, rebuild it from the two parents, which stay fetchable
git fetch origin 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa && git checkout -B drift-repro 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad && git merge --no-ff 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad

⚠️ That checkout carried uncommitted changes, so the commit above does not fully identify what was read.

Advisory only, and a precision-first one (#9192): a page is listed because it names a
symbol, wire route or SDK method this diff touched — not because it mentions a changed
package. Each row says which anchor put it there, so a wrong row is reportable rather than
merely annoying. To re-verify, run the docs-accuracy-audit workflow scoped to these files:
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad → pass the list as

Fixes#14268

What changed

Four hand-copied "Did you mean?" helpers in packages/lint/src are now one shared helper. object-graph.ts's already-exported nearestName/suggestName gained the containment pre-pass that validate-widget-bindings.ts's private didYouMean carried, and the three private copies were deleted:

• validate-object-references.ts — deleted its private suggest/distance, imports suggestName from ./object-graph.
• validate-sortable-fields.ts — same.
• validate-widget-bindings.ts — deleted its private didYouMean/levenshtein/suggest, imports suggestName from ./object-graph.
• object-graph.ts — nearestName now checks containment first (matching c.length/target.length when one contains the other, scored by length delta) before falling back to Levenshtein distance within the existing max(2, floor(len/3)) budget; suggestName and the private distance (the one surviving edit-distance body) are unchanged. Docblock rewritten to describe the now-shared behaviour instead of pointing at the "consolidating the three copies is recorded as a follow-up" note this card resolves.

This is the ruling's decision (comment 5502887598 on #14268): the containment pre-pass becomes nearestName's behaviour for every caller, including object-graph.ts's own two describeFieldPathVerdict call sites (:325/:342, both already routed through suggestName).

📓 Docs Drift Check

This PR changes 1 package(s): @objectstack/lint, touching 5 documentable anchor(s).

⛔ 2 release-owned page(s) name something this change touched. These are read-only:

• content/docs/releases/v16.mdx(via validateWidgetBindings (symbol, a top-level function))
• content/docs/releases/v17.mdx(via validateWidgetBindings (symbol, a top-level function))

content/docs/releases/ is RELEASE-OWNED (AGENTS.md "Documentation Guardrails"): release
notes are written centrally at release time, and a code PR that edits them is the exact PR
that guardrail exists to stop. They are still audited — read-only. If one of them is actually
wrong, file an issue or open a dedicated docs-only PR; do not edit it here.

What this run could not see

• 3 name(s) were too generic to anchor anything (single lowercase words)
• the SDK route bridge reached 47 of 219 client-bound route-ledger rows — the other 172 have no registrar path: tail to select them, so pages documenting THEIR client methods cannot appear above, on this or any run. Of those 172: 14 are remediable by widening that discovery convention (an in-repo file declares the path; the convention did not scan it); 56 are structural — on a ledger where NOT ONE row is declared in-repo, so no discovery change reaches them at any price; 102 are undecided (no in-repo declaration, on a ledger that has other in-repo registrars — absence and an unreadable spelling are not distinguishable here). The rows themselves: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --bridge-coverage
• a page that states a rule by its inputs shares no identifier with the emitter that implements the rule, so an emitter-only diff cannot list it — not on this run and not on any run. Measured on fix(driver-sql): emit varchar(maxLength) for a text field a declared index keys on #11430: content/docs/protocol/objectql/types.mdx documents the text-family column mapping by the ObjectQL type names it maps FROM (text / textarea / html) while the diff changed createColumn; it went unlisted, and it was the page that diff falsified, in four places. No shared token exists to detect this on, so a rule your change carries has to be re-read by hand in the pages that restate it.

Coarse fallback — 5 page(s) merely mention a changed package (the pre-#9192 predicate, kept for the deliberately-wide backstop): node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad → packageMentionDocs.

Which tree this was computed on

This run read content/docs from 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de — the merge of head 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa into base 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad, which is what actions/checkout gives a pull_request run. Not the PR head.

A worktree cut from an older main holds a different content/docs, so re-deriving there can legitimately return a different list — that is a different tree, not a wrong row. To answer on the same tree:

# while this PR is open — GitHub drops the merge commit once it closes
git fetch origin 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de && git checkout 9facf49a1b39d1800a237487f10ab7b34c4780de
# afterwards, rebuild it from the two parents, which stay fetchable
git fetch origin 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa && git checkout -B drift-repro 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad && git merge --no-ff 17d9e56a01ced2fc12b588399641aebe3c34aafa
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad

⚠️ That checkout carried uncommitted changes, so the commit above does not fully identify what was read.

Advisory only, and a precision-first one (#9192): a page is listed because it names a
symbol, wire route or SDK method this diff touched — not because it mentions a changed
package. Each row says which anchor put it there, so a wrong row is reportable rather than
merely annoying. To re-verify, run the docs-accuracy-audit workflow scoped to these files:
node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs 7286dd58e806ed321cbdfc23a1c455db8f80b1ad → pass the list as
args.docs, on the commit named under Which tree this was computed on.

Fixes#14268

What changed

Four hand-copied "Did you mean?" helpers in packages/lint/src are now one shared helper. object-graph.ts's already-exported nearestName/suggestName gained the containment pre-pass that validate-widget-bindings.ts's private didYouMean carried, and the three private copies were deleted:

• validate-object-references.ts — deleted its private suggest/distance, imports suggestName from ./object-graph.
• validate-sortable-fields.ts — same.
• validate-widget-bindings.ts — deleted its private didYouMean/levenshtein/suggest, imports suggestName from ./object-graph.
• object-graph.ts — nearestName now checks containment first (matching c.length/target.length when one contains the other, scored by length delta) before falling back to Levenshtein distance within the existing max(2, floor(len/3)) budget; suggestName and the private distance (the one surviving edit-distance body) are unchanged. Docblock rewritten to describe the now-shared behaviour instead of pointing at the "consolidating the three copies is recorded as a follow-up" note this card resolves.

This is the ruling's decision (comment 5502887598 on #14268): the containment pre-pass becomes nearestName's behaviour for every caller, including object-graph.ts's own two describeFieldPathVerdict call sites (:325/:342, both already routed through suggestName).

Hints newly supplied

None. A/B comparison on the same base tree (commit fed4fa409, no test file touched): the full @objectstack/lint suite run with the four files at their origin/main state (93 files / 2812 tests passed, 5 skipped) and again with the port applied — byte-identical pass/fail results. No existing suggestion assertion needed a hint text change; the containment pre-pass is additive but none of the three rules' current test fixtures happen to exercise a containment-eligible typo the edit-distance budget didn't already catch. Re-run on the final merged tree (after picking up unrelated upstream commits) also passes clean: 93 files / 2817 tests passed, 0 skipped (the skip-count change is from unrelated upstream work, not this PR).

Verification
