What and why

M3-06, slice 4c. Before this change, a to-one that pointed at an object that was only inserted (staged but not committed) read as empty, because the object gets no reference until the commit. As a result, the relationships panel's + was left out for to-ones.

  • Engine:
    • New Value.toOneInserted(PendingObjectID, display:) names such an object by the identity it was staged under. From the commit on, the same to-one reads as .toOne. .toOne(nil, _) still means empty everywhere.
    • setValue accepts the new value and checks it against the destination entity, the same way it checks a saved object.
    • A staged edit now refuses an inserted object whose insert was undone (objectNotFound), which matches what stagedObject already did.
    • The JSON form is {"$inserted", "$entity", "display"}, not a $ref, because the temporary URI means nothing outside the session.
  • App:
    • The grid and the inspector show the object as a reference. The label is its display attribute, or "New ‹Entity›" if it has none. The tooltip and the spoken text say it isn't committed yet.
    • The relationships panel counts the object and lists it.
    • The panel's + now works for a to-one: the new object replaces the old one and opens in the inspector.
  • Tests:
    • ValueTests: display string, JSON and Codable.
    • StagedLinksTests +1: a department's head is made new, set back and forth by value, an object of another entity and an undone insert are both refused, and after the commit the head's reference is read back from the file.
    • GridValueTests +1.
    • EditingSessionTests: the panel makes a new object for the head relationship.
  • Docs: IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN gets slice 4c and an updated Next list. ARCHITECTURE §4 and §6.4 get the as-built notes.

PRD IDs: EDT-3, REL-1

Checklist

  • Clean-room: this change is based only on public documentation and on Apple frameworks observed through public APIs. I did not decompile or inspect any closed-source product.
  • Commits are signed off (git commit -s, DCO).
  • Tests added or updated. CI runs swift test on macOS; ValueTests also passed locally on Linux.
  • No new strict-concurrency warnings.
  • Public engine API has DocC comments.
  • No row data is logged (store-derived values are wrapped in Redacted).
  • User-visible strings are externalised; new controls have accessibility labels.
  • ADR added or amended if a decision changed. (Not needed: this extends ARCHITECTURE §4's value types.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • You can now create a new object directly from a to-one relationship and use it before committing your changes.
    • Pending related objects appear in the relationship panel and grid with their display name, or a “New [entity]” fallback. Their pending status is also available in tooltips and accessible text.
    • After committing, the relationship is shown as a regular saved reference.

A to-one that leads to an object only inserted used to read as empty,
since the object has no reference until the commit gives it one.

- Value.toOneInserted(PendingObjectID, display:) names such an object by
  the identity it was staged under; from the commit on it reads as .toOne.
  .toOne(nil, _) keeps meaning empty everywhere
- setValue takes it, checked against the destination entity like a saved
  object; an object whose insert was undone is refused (objectNotFound)
- JSON: {"$inserted", "$entity", "display"}, not a $ref, since the
  temporary URI names nothing outside the session
- The grid and the inspector show it as a reference labelled by its
  display attribute, else "New <Entity>", with a tooltip and a spoken form
  saying it is not committed yet; the relationships panel counts and lists it
- The panel's + works for a to-one: the new object replaces what it held
  and opens in the inspector
- Tests: ValueTests, StagedLinksTests +1, GridValueTests +1,
  EditingSessionTests (the panel's to-one made new)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

To-one relationships can now reference objects inserted in the same staged session. The new value representation carries the pending identity before commit and becomes a saved reference after commit. The relationships panel and grid display inserted destinations.

Changes

Inserted relationship values

Layer / File(s) Summary
Value representation and conversion
Sources/DabbiBase/Value.swift, Sources/DabbiStore/ValueConverter.swift, Sources/DabbiBase/Value+JSON.swift, Sources/DabbiModel/ValueText.swift, Tests/DabbiBaseTests/ValueTests.swift, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
Value adds toOneInserted with a pending identity and optional display label. Conversion, display formatting, JSON output, and Codable tests handle this representation. JSON uses $inserted and $entity, with display when present, rather than $ref.

Staged relationship lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Staged identity and commit handling
Sources/DabbiStore/StagedEdits.swift, Tests/DabbiStoreTests/StagedLinksTests.swift, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
Staged edits accept inserted to-one destinations and validate their entity and staged identity. The tests cover saved-object replacement, invalid and undone insertions, and conversion to a saved reference after commit and reopening.

Relationship insertion and presentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relationship panel and grid presentation
App/CoreDataDabbi/Relationships/RelationshipsModel.swift, App/CoreDataDabbi/Grid/GridValue.swift, App/CoreDataDabbi/Resources/Localizable.xcstrings, App/CoreDataDabbiTests/EditingSessionTests.swift, App/CoreDataDabbiTests/GridValueTests.swift, docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
The relationship panel offers to-one destination entities and lists inserted destinations. The grid displays an inserted reference with its label or a localized fallback, and indicates that it is not committed. Tests cover insertion through the panel and grid rendering.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c2f06

A mismatched object can pass relationship validation, and an unnamed new destination can appear blank in the wide relationship list. Validate the resolved entity before merging; restore the missing row label as well.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c2f06

The new relationship flow has checks for the destination type and for inserts that have been undone, and it distinguishes an uncommitted object from a saved reference. No introduced security failure was established. The ownership guarantee for temporary identities across sessions remains unverified, so the risk is not assessed as minimal.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The newly reachable write path concerns relationships in an editable store session. The reviewed path does not establish a separate network, tenant, credential, or deployment authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new input is checked against allowed destination names and a live session-resolved insert, while JSON distinguishes it from a saved reference. Cross-session temporary-URI uniqueness is not established by the reviewed source.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Commit translates inserted identities to saved references and clears the pending map; a failed preparation occurs before the save. Evidence for cross-session replay and redo followed by reassignment remains incomplete.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If pending values can be supplied outside the session that produced them, bind resolution to session identity or otherwise establish temporary-URI non-reuse, and verify the resolved object's entity independently of the supplied label.

Test (macos-15, Xcode 26.3) fails for a reason unrelated to this PR. It is the continue-on-error canary, and it stops on the same error it hits on main: Sources/DabbiTracking/VersionLog.swift:254:36: error: sending 'connection' risks causing data races. That error comes from Xcode 26.3's region checker, and this PR doesn't touch DabbiTracking. The log has no other compile errors. There is no fix for it yet. The canary is not a required check, and the Xcode 26.4 jobs are the ones that gate this PR.

- Around line 183-184: Update the `.toOneInserted` branch to retain the inserted
object and provide a localized “New” label using its entity when `display` is
nil; preserve the existing display label when present so the wide relationship
list renders the destination.

In `@Sources/DabbiStore/StagedEdits.swift`:
- Line 242: Update the relationship validation in check, near the
allowed.contains(destination) guard, to validate the resolved object ID’s entity
rather than trusting the entity string supplied by PendingObjectID or ObjectRef.
Reject mismatches as .invalidValue before applying the edit, while preserving
the relationship’s allowed-entity check.

- Every staged edit resolves its objects through resolvedObjectID(for:),
  which refuses an identity that resolves to another entity than the one
  it names (invalidValue). A staged Tag's URI given as a Manager used to
  pass the destination check and reach Core Data, which raises on it
- The relationships panel's row for a to-one that leads to an unnamed new
  object reads "New <Entity>" instead of nothing
- Tests: StagedLinksTests (posing identities refused by setValue and
  link), EditingSessionTests (the row's label)
