Closes the renderer half of objectstack-ai/cloud#972 (authoring half:
objectstack-ai/cloud#977, merged).

The bug

An AI-built task tracker's 任务 object has a required 是否完成 boolean. On the
create form the switch showed OFF, submitting answered 「是否完成不能为空」 +
toast 「请检查表单中标记的字段:是否完成」, and turning the switch ON saved the
same form instantly. The app could only ever create ALREADY-DONE tasks — the one
state the control shows by default was the one value it refused to save.

Two defects stacked; either one alone breaks it.

1. The required verdict read truthiness, not presence

@objectstack/spec FieldSchema.required (ADR-0113) is "an insert must provide
a non-null value"
, and objectql's record validator implements exactly that
(isMissing = undefined | null | blank string). react-hook-form's built-in
rule instead fails whenever isBoolean(value) && !value — its accept-the-terms
checkbox heritage — silently redefining every required boolean as "must be
TRUE". That also catches a required select whose chosen option value is
false (option values round-trip typed since #3090). And it disagreed in the
other direction, letting a whitespace-only string through for the server to
reject with a 400.

The renderer no longer hands RHF its own required. The check is now a
validate entry keyed required — RHF reports an object-form validate failure
under its key, so the error still surfaces as type: 'required', which the
conditional-required cleanup keys on — backed by a new shared
isMissingForRequired in @object-ui/core, a deliberate mirror of the server's
predicate. delete rules.required also stops a required that rode in on
validation from buildValidationRules from outliving a requiredWhen that
resolved to FALSE.

2. A boolean field held undefined while displaying "off"

A two-state control has no third state, but a field with no entry in
defaultValues rendered an OFF switch backed by nothing — so the form displayed
"false" and submitted "nothing": the create payload omitted the column (it lands
null, which reads as unchecked but isn't) and the presence check above would
still refuse it. A blueprint field cannot carry a defaultValue, so every
AI-authored boolean was in this state.

false is now folded into defaultValues for each boolean-widget field the
caller left unset — in defaultValues itself, not per-Controller, because that
object is also the dirty-check baseline and what the defaults-reset window
replays; a value that only lived on the field is wiped by the first
form.reset. Doing it in the shared renderer covers every surface, including
the modal/drawer create dialogs that start from a bare {} and derive no schema
defaults at all. An authored default (or a loaded record, null included)
still wins.

Also in scope — the same falsy-as-empty class

  • WizardForm's cross-step gate carried its own copy of the empty-value
    predicate (correct on false/0, but it did not trim). It now imports the
    shared one, so the wizard and the per-field verdict cannot drift.
  • The field-demo renderer read schema.defaultValue || schema.value, throwing
    away an authored default of false / 0 / '' — now ??.
  • Swept the other required-checks: ObjectValidationEngine already agreed;
    ImportWizard's !raw only ever sees CSV strings, so "0" was never at
    risk.

Tests

Full suite green (792 files / 9239 tests). New coverage in
form-required-falsy-values.test.tsx and ObjectForm.requiredBoolean.test.tsx:
unchecked required switch / checkbox / false-valued select and a required
number at 0 all submit; null, undefined, '', whitespace-only and []
are still refused; a field-authored required message and a field-authored
validate both still work. Mutation-checked — reverting either half turns the
guards red.

Verified live

Local stack against the exact metadata apply_blueprint used to materialize
({ type: 'boolean', required: true }, no default). Before: the report
reproduced verbatim. After: a 是否完成 = 否 task with 工时 = 0 creates and
persists as { hours: 0, is_done: false }; the switch ON still stores true; a
blank required text is still refused.

…re values

A required boolean could not be saved unchecked: the switch showed OFF, the
form answered "是否完成不能为空", and turning it ON saved instantly. An AI-built
task tracker could therefore only create ALREADY-DONE tasks — the one state the
control shows by default was the one value it refused to save
(objectstack-ai/cloud#972).

Two defects stacked, either one enough on its own:

1. The `required` verdict read truthiness. @objectstack/spec
   FieldSchema.required (ADR-0113) is "an insert must provide a NON-NULL
   value", and objectql's record validator implements exactly that.
   react-hook-form's built-in rule instead fails whenever
   `isBoolean(value) && !value` — its accept-the-terms checkbox heritage —
   silently redefining every required boolean as "must be TRUE", a required
   select whose chosen option value is `false` included. It also disagreed the
   other way, letting a whitespace-only string through for the server to reject
   with a 400. The renderer no longer hands RHF its own `required`: the check
   is a `validate` entry keyed `required` (so the error still surfaces as
   `type: 'required'`, which the conditional-required cleanup keys on) backed
   by a new shared `isMissingForRequired` in @object-ui/core — a deliberate
   mirror of objectql `record-validator.isMissing`. Deleting the inherited rule
   also stops a `required` that rode in on `validation` from outliving a
   `requiredWhen` that resolved to FALSE.

2. A boolean field held `undefined` while displaying "off". A two-state control
   has no third state, but a field absent from `defaultValues` rendered an OFF
   switch backed by nothing — the create payload omitted the column (it lands
   null, which reads as unchecked but isn't) and the presence check above would
   still refuse it. `false` is now folded into `defaultValues` for every
   boolean-widget field the caller left unset; in `defaultValues` itself rather
   than per-Controller, because that object is also the dirty baseline and what
   the defaults-reset window replays. An authored default (or a loaded record,
   `null` included) still wins.

WizardForm's cross-step gate had its own copy of the empty-value predicate and
now imports the shared one. The field-demo renderer read
`schema.defaultValue || schema.value`, throwing away an authored `false` / `0` /
`''` — same falsy-as-empty class, now `??`.
