fix(app-shell): record form and modal form bind systemPermissions, so hasCapability answers on object fields (objectui#13083)

[objectstack-fleet]

Fixes #13083
Clause-②: no

What changed

An object field whose visibleWhen names current_user.hasCapability('NAME') is now answered on the record form page and in the console's global record-form modal.

The two surfaces build their field-list evaluator by hand, because each sits above the ExpressionProvider it mounts. Each passed permissions but not systemPermissions, so the engine refused every hasCapability call on a field, and the fail-open field gate showed the field to holders and non-holders alike, with a diagnostic. Page nodes, navigation and actions already answered through the provider (objectui#13006).

Each site now reads useExpressionSystemPermissions() beside useExpressionPermissions() and passes it to createExpressionEvaluator as systemPermissions, with the same name and shape the provider uses:

• packages/app-shell/src/views/RecordFormPage.tsx (the record form page's expressionEvaluator);
• packages/app-shell/src/console/AppContent.tsx (the modal form's expressionEvaluator).

Nothing is re-derived from MePermissionsProvider a second way. A not-loaded answer stays undefined, so the predicate still faults loudly; it is never turned into false or true. No export, key or prop moves, and @object-ui/core's evaluator is unchanged.

Every hand-built evaluator under packages/app-shell/src

createExpressionEvaluator( call sites outside tests, read at the branch base 6058bf8b71:

• ExpressionProvider itself (the provider's own scope): already passes systemPermissions.
• useExpressionContext()'s no-provider default: binds only user and features, deliberately; outside the provider there is no loaded answer, so leaving both permission inputs unbound is the documented "not loaded" state.
• RecordFormPage and AppContent: the two sites this PR changes.

No third site carries the omission.

Tests

Two new suites drive the real components under a real MePermissionsProvider with a payload, reading the field list the page hands to ObjectForm and the modal hands to ModalForm:

• packages/app-shell/src/views/RecordFormPage.hasCapability-13083.test.tsx
• packages/app-shell/src/console/__tests__/AppContent.hasCapability-13083.test.tsx

Each has three arms on a field gated on current_user.hasCapability('manage_org_users'):

• HOLDER: the field is shown and nothing is reported.
• NON-HOLDER: the field is hidden and nothing is reported.
• CONTROL, NOT LOADED (no provider): the predicate still faults loudly. The fault is reported naming the predicate, and the fail-open field gate shows the field.

AppContent mounts in a unit test, as AppContent.declaredVisibilityKeys.test.tsx already does, so the modal arms go through the real component rather than a copy of its evaluator.

Reverse verification

The direction was predicted before running. The fix was committed first (0ae227d904). Each site's hand-off line was then deleted with scripts/ablation-replace.mjs (objectstack checkout), whose anchor must hit once. Both suites ran each time.

• Without the hand-off in RecordFormPage: anchor 1 to 0, blob 7358a6fba6d4 to d8e9897a7276. The record-form HOLDER and NON-HOLDER arms went red. The other 4 tests stayed green: the modal suite and the not-loaded control. Restored by blob hash: 7358a6fba6d4 equals HEAD, and git diff HEAD is empty.
• Without the hand-off in AppContent: anchor 1 to 0, blob 787a250edc4d to 3587782483d2. The modal HOLDER and NON-HOLDER arms went red. The other 4 tests stayed green. Restored by blob hash: 787a250edc4d equals HEAD, and git diff HEAD is empty.

The HOLDER arm goes red through its silence assertion: the field is shown, but the fault is reported. The NON-HOLDER arm goes red because the field is shown.

Local verification (final head 73bc2d5e84)

• pnpm --filter '@object-ui/app-shell^...' build (the dependency closure), then pnpm --filter @object-ui/app-shell type-check, which runs tsc --noEmit and tsc -p tsconfig.test.json: exit 0. --listFilesOnly confirms that both new test files are inside tsconfig.test.json.
• The new suites: 2 files, 6 tests passed.
• The test family that imports or reads the two touched files, plus hasCapability-13006 and currentUserCan-4421: 50 files in three batches, 413 tests passed, --maxWorkers=1, under the shared lock.
• eslint --no-inline-config on the 4 changed source and test files: 0 errors. The new test files have 0 warnings. The 2 production files have only warnings that were already there, none of them on a changed line.
• check:phantom-deps, check:self-import, check:unreferenced-sources, check:doc-example-readers, check:handler-key-reads, check:side-effects-array, check:element-data-source-declaration, check:spec-symbols, check:action-forward-parity, check:designer-field-key-parity, check:icon-record-names, check:i18n-keys, check:i18n-drift, check:i18n-designer-parity and check:control-bytes: each exited 0.
• scripts/check-hand-rolled-comment-mask.mjs, scripts/check-changeset-fixed.mjs, scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs and check:new-line-citations (0 new citations): each exited 0.

Left to CI: the full packages/app-shell test directory. The dispatch kept the lock clear of whole-package runs.

Changeset: .changeset/13083-form-evaluator-capabilities.md (@object-ui/app-shell patch).

The eager closure is every chunk the entry reaches through static imports — what the browser fetches and parses before the app renders. The entry chunk on its own is a small fraction of it.
