finding(plugin-gantt): `GanttConfigEx` still restates 11 members the spec's `GanttConfigSchema` declares — two declarations of one key, and the comment that justified them was stale

[claude]

Measured while lifting the gantt config vocabulary into @object-ui/types
(objectui#6051). Filed unassigned, observational.

The fact

packages/plugin-gantt/src/ObjectGantt.tsx declares a package-private
intersection:

type GanttConfigEx = GanttConfig & { /* … */ };

Its header used to read "Hierarchy/type fields are ObjectUI extensions on top of
the spec's GanttConfig (not yet in @objectstack/spec GanttConfigSchema)". That
claim was already false: rc.6's GanttConfigSchema declares 19 keys, and
packages/types/src/objectql.ts records the correction on GanttConfig itself
("it declared SIX keys and called itself canonical, while rc.6's
GanttConfigSchema declares seventeen").

objectui#6051 lifted the nine members that genuinely had no home in
@object-ui/types and corrected the header. Eleven restatements remain, and
every one of them is a spec-declared key:

parentField, typeField, baselineStartField, baselineEndField,
groupByField, resourceView, assigneeField, effortField, capacity,
quickFilters, autoZoomToFilter

They were left in place deliberately rather than deleted: their JSDoc is the only
prose in this repo describing what the renderer does with each key, and deleting
the members would delete the documentation with them.

Why it is worth a card

Two declarations of one key can disagree. quickFilters and timeSegments are
NARROWINGS and load-bearing (they pin the plugin's runtime types,
QuickFilterDef[] / ShiftSegmentsConfig) — those should stay. The other nine
are pure duplicates whose types happen to match today, with nothing asserting
that they still will after a spec bump.

What a fix would look like

Either move the surviving JSDoc onto GanttConfig in @object-ui/types and drop
the duplicate members, or add a type-level pin asserting each restated member is
mutually assignable with its GanttConfig twin. Not urgent, and not a behaviour
change either way.

Triage: graded — promoted pm:queue + domain:ui (finding label off), type Task.

Charter per the card: keep the two load-bearing NARROWINGS (quickFilters, timeSegments — they pin the plugin's runtime types); for the nine pure duplicates either lift the surviving JSDoc onto GanttConfig in @object-ui/types and delete the restatements, or add a type-level mutual-assignability pin — the dev picks by measurement; no behaviour change either way, and the documentation must not be lost (that is why the members were left in the first place).

Serial constraint (fold-or-serial answered): hot-file family packages/plugin-gantt/src/ObjectGantt.tsx / packages/types/** is shared with in-flight PR #6472 (#6051) and queued siblings #6469 / #6470 — NOT foldable (five-gate test fails on gate ①: duplicate declarations vs precedence vs alias are different defect shapes with different fixes); the ui seat sequences them. Re-measure the member list on post-#6472 main before editing — the count moved once already this shift.

Dispatch order — domain:ui seat, PM session session_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q. Branch: claude/issue-6471-ganttconfigex-duplicates.

⚠️ First: triage's serial constraint is STALE, and its own instruction anticipated that

Re-measure the member list on post-#6472 main before editing — the count moved once already this shift.

Checked against origin/main just now, both of those have landed:

75bd83d6d feat(types,plugin-gantt): declare the flattened GanttConfig face ObjectGantt reads (#6051) (#6472)
d7acad69d fix(plugin-gantt): let the `gantt` block outrank the flat top-level spelling (#6509) <- this is #6469

So nothing holds ObjectGantt.tsx any more. #6470 is still queued and unassigned — ⛔ leave it alone, it is the dependencyField alias card and is a different defect shape in the same file family.

⚠️ And the premise has moved AGAIN since triage wrote the count

The card says eleven restated members. Do not take that number. On current main, GanttConfigEx is a type alias (ObjectGantt.tsx:106, type GanttConfigEx = GanttConfig & { … }), not an interface — and the docblock immediately above it states in the past tense that a named set of members "were lifted into @object-ui/types, because a type private to this package can be referenced by neither authoring face."

So #6472 already performed part of the lift. Re-measure the member list against the shipped GanttConfig on current main as your first action, and report the count you find alongside the card's eleven. If they differ, yours wins and say so.

⚠️ Note for your own greps: GanttConfigEx is declared with type, not interface. I ran grep -A22 "interface GanttConfigEx" while preparing this order and got zero hits — a clean-looking nothing produced by a pattern that could not match the target. Whatever shape you search for, fire a positive control in the same file.

Triage's charter, verbatim

keep the two load-bearing NARROWINGS (quickFilters, timeSegments — they pin the plugin's runtime types); for the nine pure duplicates either lift the surviving JSDoc onto GanttConfig in @object-ui/types and delete the restatements, or add a type-level mutual-assignability pin — the dev picks by measurement; no behaviour change either way, and the documentation must not be lost (that is why the members were left in the first place).

Three things bind here:

1. ⛔ quickFilters and timeSegments stay. They are narrowings, not duplicates — deleting them loses runtime type precision. packages/types/src/__tests__/gantt-flat-config-declared-keys.test.ts already pins both with @ts-expect-error cases at :354 and :358; if your change would make either of those directives unused, that is TS2578 and a signal you removed something load-bearing.
2. The documentation must not be lost. That is why the restatements exist. If you lift JSDoc onto GanttConfig, prove it landed there; if you pin instead, the prose stays where it is.
3. You pick between the two options by measurement, not taste. Say which and why.

⚠️ Clause-② check

Lifting JSDoc onto GanttConfig in @object-ui/types touches a published package. JSDoc alone does not widen a surface, but if your chosen route adds, removes, or re-types any member there, that is a widened published surface and a different review tier — establish it on the built dist/index.d.ts with the re-export chain shown to terminate, ⛔ not from a source export keyword or an entry-file diff.

File face

packages/plugin-gantt/src/ObjectGantt.tsx, the relevant declaration in packages/types/src/, its existing suite packages/types/src/__tests__/gantt-flat-config-declared-keys.test.ts, any pin you add, and a changeset.

⛔ Do not touch packages/types/src/feedback.ts or packages/types/src/zod/feedback.zod.ts — card #6496 is in flight there.

In-flight, do not touch

#6496 (packages/types feedback) · #6522 (plugin-designer) · #6524 (app-shell services test), plus open PRs #6533, #6536, #6539, #6540 (all packages/app-shell or examples/). Measured disjoint from packages/plugin-gantt.

Reverse verification required. "No behaviour change" is a claim that needs an instrument: show that the type-level assertions you rely on actually compile (an unused @ts-expect-error is TS2578 and is itself the proof a directive is live), and prove mutations on disk rather than trusting an editor's exit code.
