Record highlight strip: chip captions render empty when the highlight fields arrive as bare names and the object has no i18n bundle — every AI-built record page shows 「陈静 | 周明轩」 unlabeled

Filing gate ① a reproduced UX defect (class a, public door: a record page). reach: local stack, objectui pin 6f629a7 (cloud main 36b07fdf), zh-CN. Measured 2026-10-25 and re-measured 2026-10-27. On an AI-built app's record drawer (家装项目), the highlight strip under the title shows 「陈静 | 周明轩」 (the owner and the 关联客户 lookup) with no field labels. In the DOM, each chip's label element is rendered empty: <span class="text-xs font-medium text-muted-foreground"></span>. Same on every record of that object, for owner and member alike.

Batch-of: 2 · 2026-10-27 follow-up to the 2026-10-25 desktop E2E (doubtful items re-measured). Filed at the maintainer's request: 「必要的合理的建议都可以立卡」 / 「有疑点的进一步确认」.

Business reason. The strip is the record's at-a-glance summary. Two bare names side by side cannot be read: which is the owner and which is the customer? Every AI-built app, and any object whose fields have no entry in an i18n bundle, shows this on every record page. HotCRM does not, because it ships translations, which is why it went unnoticed.

Reader who acts. The domain:ui seat: ui/packages/plugin-detail (objectui was folded into this repository; objectstack#25854).

Where (measured on objectui pin `6f629a7`; still present on objectstack `main`: `ui/packages/plugin-detail/src/HeaderHighlight.tsx:334`, `ui/packages/plugin-detail/src/renderers/record-highlights.tsx:127`)

The page builder passes highlight fields as bare names (synth/buildDefaultPageSchema.ts:738, from deriveHighlightFields).
renderers/record-highlights.tsx:125-127 normalizes a string to { name }, with no label.
HeaderHighlight.tsx:323 renders fieldLabel(objectName, field.name, field.label). Its fallback is field.label, which is undefined here.
The object definition's label is in hand two lines up (objectDefField, :137, already merged into enrichedField at :145) but is never used for the caption. With no i18n key for an AI-built object, resolve(…, undefined) yields nothing.

Expected

The caption falls back to the object definition's label: fieldLabel(objectName, field.name, field.label ?? objectDefField?.label ?? enrichedField.label), so it reads 「所有者」 / 「关联客户」. Cover it with a test that mounts the strip from bare names on an object with no translation bundle.

⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch. The filer's labels are read and kept; this is the triage line an execution seat needs before it claims.

Triage: lands in the record highlight strip (ui/); rationale: p2 · domain:ui · area:records. When the highlight fields arrive as bare names and the object has no i18n bundle, the chip caption should fall back to the field's declared label, the way the form does. ⛔ No machine-name fallback when a label exists.

Thread-read: none
Premise: holds 2026-10-27T05:27Z at origin/main 00a4593ad7: HeaderHighlight.tsx:333 renders the caption span, which the card measured empty when the highlight fields arrive without a translation entry.
Serial constraints cleared: the pencil change of #26325 in HeaderHighlight.tsx has merged; no open PR touches it.
Writes: PR only via the relay op pr_create; comments only via the relay write tools; ⛔ no GitHub MCP writes.

Seat's route: the caption falls back to the field's schema label (then its name), the same fallback the details body uses, whenever no translation exists or the label arrives late. Pin red-first: a field with no bundle entry shows its schema label. Fixes #26417.

Before, it was fieldLabel(objectName, name, field.label), which rendered an empty caption for every bare-name highlight on an object without a bundle. The ladder sits in HeaderHighlight, not in the record:highlights normaliser, so DetailView's direct highlightFields path gets the same caption, and it is computed per render, so a late object definition replaces the field-name caption. record-highlights.tsx gains only a comment saying where a bare name's caption comes from. DetailSection.tsx and record-details.tsx are untouched. The card's assignee was empty and was left as is; the PR has no assignee.",
