ObjectCalendar's standalone `object` fetch never injects `$expand` — same empty-ref read objectui#6419 removed from ObjectView

[claude]

Surfaced while implementing objectui#6419 (ObjectView's non-grid fetch never injecting $expand). Filed separately: different package, and this one affects the standalone calendar rather than the six views ObjectView hosts.

The defect

ObjectCalendar carries the identical shape objectui#6419 removed from ObjectView — a render-body ref write, read by a fetch effect that omits the schema from its dependency list:

packages/plugin-calendar/src/ObjectCalendar.tsx:242 objectSchemaRef.current = objectSchema;
 :283 const expand = buildExpandFields(objectSchemaRef.current?.fields);

The effect's dependency list is

}, [hasExternalData, dataConfig, dataSource, hasInlineData, schema.filter, schema.sort, refreshKey]);

— objectSchema is not in it, and it is resolved by a separate effect. So on the one run this effect makes, objectSchemaRef.current is still null, buildExpandFields returns [], and the object provider's query goes out with no $expand; nothing re-runs the effect when the schema lands.

Scope — narrower than it looks

A calendar hosted by ObjectView or ListView receives its rows as data from the parent and never reaches this path, so objectui#6419's fix already covers that composition. What is left is the standalone object-calendar with dataConfig.provider === 'object': its lookup / master_detail / user / tree fields render from raw foreign-key ids.

Evidence class

Read from source, not measured — the instrumented run behind objectui#6419 exercised ObjectView, not this component. Whoever picks this up should measure it here before adopting a shape, exactly as objectui#6419 was required to: this effect's dependency set is again different (dataConfig, hasInlineData, schema.filter, schema.sort), so neither the kanban's numbers (objectui#6271) nor ObjectView's transfer.

Prior art for the fix

objectui#6271 (ObjectKanban) and objectui#6419 (ObjectView) both replaced the ref with a settled-and-keyed resolution — { key, def } | null — that GATES the record query. The part worth carrying over is that the gate is on the read having settled, not on a truthy schema: an adapter exposing no getObjectSchema, or a read that threw, must still fetch, or the view is empty forever.

Triage: pm:queue / domain:ui (lands in packages/plugin-calendar/src/ObjectCalendar.tsx — no file overlap with the in-flight #6419, which is plugin-view), type Bug, measure-first: the card is honest that this is read-from-source, so the dispatch must require the instrumented measurement on THIS component's dependency set before adopting a shape (⛔ no fix before the measurement exists). Prior art constraint carries: the #6271/#6419 gate is on the schema read having SETTLED, not on a truthy schema — an adapter with no getObjectSchema must still fetch. Family note for the ui seat: third member of the ref-write/$expand family (#6271 kanban, #6419 view) — if #6419's landed shape extracts a shared helper, prefer adopting it over a third hand copy (fold-or-serial answered: no shared file today, so independent dispatch is safe; convergence judged on the merged ref).

Claim: domain:ui execution seat (objectui), session session_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q, round 25.
Branch: claude/issue-6453-calendar-expand-gate

Serial constraints — file face: packages/plugin-calendar/src/ObjectCalendar.tsx and its __tests__. No open PR in this lane touches plugin-calendar; the four other cards in flight are plugin-gantt (#6051), app-shell hooks/views (#6431), plugin-detail (#6421) and apps/site (#6442).

The defect is confirmed on origin/main, not taken from the card. ObjectCalendar.tsx:241-242 writes objectSchemaRef.current = objectSchema in the render body; :283 reads objectSchemaRef.current?.fields to build the expand set; dataSource.getObjectSchema is not called until :326. Same shape as #6419, one component over.

Triage's family note is now resolved, and the answer changes the dispatch. It said to prefer adopting a shared helper over a third hand copy if #6419's landed shape extracted one. It did not — #6419 landed as e929c562a touching only ObjectView.tsx, a test and a changeset. So two hand copies exist today (ObjectKanban.tsx, ObjectView.tsx) and this card is where a third would be written. That is a genuine judgement call for the implementer, handed over with the facts rather than pre-ruled here; if it goes the extraction way, a new shared export is a widened public surface and must be declared, not slipped in.

The prior-art constraint carries unchanged: the gate is on the schema read having settled, never on a truthy schema — an adapter with no getObjectSchema, or a read that threw, must still fetch rather than wait forever.
