13 more vite-built packages ship extensionless typings, and their NAMED re-exports degrade to `any` instead of going missing

[os-support-ai]

Found while implementing #5365, which was fenced by triage to @object-ui/components and @object-ui/layout. Not fixed there: two of the affected packages (plugin-list, plugin-view) had sibling cards in flight, and widening past the fence was explicitly out of that dispatch.

(Generics below are written with a space after < — GitHub's body sanitizer strips < followed by a letter as an HTML tag, and it ate them on the first revision of this issue.)

What was measured, 2026-08-20

Full build in a worktree off main 32ef595f4, counting relative specifiers in every emitted dist/**/*.d.ts (AST-located module specifiers, so JSDoc prose is excluded). Only packages that were built are listed; plugin-ai, plugin-gantt, plugin-map, plugin-markdown, plugin-timeline, plugin-tree were outside the closure built here and are untested, not clean.

package	build	extensionless relative specifiers in dist/**/*.d.ts
@object-ui/plugin-detail	vite build	81
@object-ui/plugin-designer	vite build	62
@object-ui/plugin-chatbot	vite build	53
@object-ui/plugin-grid	vite build	36
@object-ui/plugin-dashboard	vite build	31
@object-ui/plugin-form	vite build	31
@object-ui/plugin-kanban	vite build	22
@object-ui/plugin-view	vite build	19
@object-ui/plugin-list	vite build	16
@object-ui/plugin-report	vite build	14
@object-ui/plugin-charts	vite build	9
@object-ui/plugin-calendar	vite build	4
@object-ui/plugin-editor	vite build	1

Every tsc-built package measured clean in the same sweep (auth, collaboration, i18n, mobile, permissions, providers, react, sdui-parser, types, core, fields — the two hits each in core and fields are JSDoc prose, not hops). The split is exactly the one #5365 named: bundler builds emit their typings from the other half of the build, where the source specifier survives verbatim.

The part that is NOT just "#5365 again"

#5365's two packages re-export mostly through export * from './ui'. A star re-export from a module the compiler cannot resolve contributes no names, so the consumer gets a loud TS2305: has no exported member.

These packages re-export mostly through named re-exports — export { useObjectChat } from './useObjectChat'. TypeScript still declares the name; it only fails to give it a type. So the consumer gets no error at all and a silent any.

Measured on @object-ui/plugin-chatbot, probe compiled twice against the same built dist:

type IsAny< T > = 0 extends 1 & T ? true : false;
const assertAny: IsAny< typeof useHitlInChat > = true;

• moduleResolution: nodenext — compiles clean, i.e. the symbol IS any.
• moduleResolution: bundler — TS2322: Type 'true' is not assignable to type 'false', i.e. properly typed.

That is the worse of the two failure modes: #5365 was a wall a consumer hit immediately, this one is a type hole that opens quietly the moment a consumer pins nodenext. It is what produces the 21 residual TS7006 on @object-ui/app-shell reported in #5365's PR.

Shape of the fix

Mechanical, and the mechanism already exists: #5365 landed scripts/vite-dts-explicit-extensions.ts, a shared vite-plugin-dts beforeWriteFile / afterBuild pair that resolves each emitted specifier against the source tree the output mirrors, throws on anything it cannot resolve, and re-checks the emitted set afterwards. Wiring it into each package's vite.config.ts is three lines per package, identical to the two already done.

Worth deciding as one batch rather than 13 cards, and worth deciding together with whether the repository wants the typings-level gate leg that #5365's triage deliberately deferred — without it, nothing stops the 14th package.

Refs #5365, #4538.

[os-zhuang]

Triage: queued as one batch card, type Task — mechanical application of the existing scripts/vite-dts-explicit-extensions.ts mechanism to the 13 measured packages (~3 lines per vite.config.ts, per the #5365 precedent). The silent-any direction (named re-exports) makes this worth doing ahead of any further nodenext pins. The deferred typings-level gate leg is a legitimate rider if small, otherwise file it separately. Serial note: plugin-list / plugin-view had sibling cards in flight when this was measured — the dispatching seat should re-check overlap at claim time. Unblocks #5440. Size/model suggestion: M, sonnet–opus.

Serial constraints cleared: triage's serial note on this card asked the dispatching seat to re-check plugin-list / plugin-view overlap at claim time. Done: open PRs repo-wide are #5472 (draft, awaiting maintainer merge), #5400 (release), #4958 / #4945 (dependabot) — none touches plugin-list or plugin-view, and their sibling cards (#5398 and family) have landed. #5483 is serial behind this card, and #5438 / #5313 are excluded from this batch for package overlap (see below).

Premise re-verified at claim time, on origin/main 60d452e

• scripts/vite-dts-explicit-extensions.ts exists (landed by @object-ui/components ships dist/index.d.ts with extensionless relative re-exports, so any consumer on moduleResolution nodenext sees every named export as missing #5365).
• Wired into 2 of 22: packages/components, packages/layout — matching the card.
• vite.config.ts files calling dts(: 22 total.

fold-or-serial answer: #5439 + #5483 = SERIAL, ⛔ not folded

Triage handed this to the seat explicitly. Answering against the five gates, because the answer is owed on the record and not by default:

gate	verdict
① same defect form and same fix	❌ fails — this card is extensionless specifiers in emitted .d.ts (silent any under nodenext); #5483 is vite build exiting 0 on type errors. Two defects, two different shared modules. The per-file edit gesture is identical, but gate ① says in terms ⛔ not same keyword / same subsystem
② same package/region	✅ holds
③ every member already graded	✅ holds
④ each independently checkable	✅ this card: emitted extensionless count → 0; #5483: injected TS2322 ⇒ non-zero exit
⑤ exclusion list	✅ layout + components (already wired here), fields (tsc && prefix fails first)

One gate fails, so it is serial. Precedent is this lane's own published correction on objectstack#9870 + #9911: "same file and same gate is not the same defect with the same fix… I folded off title similarity, which is the exact trap that clause exists to catch."

⚠️ The cost is real and measured — #5483's card notes that two rounds means conflicting twice on the same ~20 configs. This seat accepts it: gate ① is load-bearing, and the cost is one rebase arbitrated by the merge queue, not corrupted data.

Standing instruction for the gate leg

Triage called the deferred typings-level gate "a legitimate rider if small, otherwise file it separately." Adding: #5483 wants a ratchet over the same population (every vite.config.ts calling dts(). If you build one here, design it so #5483's leg slots in without a rewrite — otherwise the repo gets two near-duplicate gates over one population. If that design is not small, ⛔ do not force it: file it and say so.

⚠️ This changes published typings, so it owes a real changeset (not skip-changeset), and downstream TS2305 / TS7006 may surface where consumers were silently getting any — that is the fix working, not a regression. Report any such site rather than papering over it.

⚠️ The --tier reading normally quoted on the model line is not available in this repo (scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs is objectstack-resident; objectui has no scripts/pm/). The tier is this seat's explicit decision, stated as such.
