feat: standardize list refresh after mutation (P0/P1/P2)

[Copilot]

ListView does not refresh after create/update/delete because ObjectView.handleFormSuccess increments its own refreshKey, but renderListView renders a ListView with an independent, unconnected refreshKey. This is an architectural gap — no signal path exists from mutation to list re-fetch.

P0 — refreshTrigger prop (fixes the reported bug)

• Added refreshTrigger?: number to ListViewSchema in @object-ui/types
• ListView data-fetch effect now includes schema.refreshTrigger in its dependency array
• plugin-view/ObjectView.renderContent() passes its refreshKey into the renderListView callback as both a direct prop and schema.refreshTrigger
• Console ObjectView combines local + plugin refresh signals: refreshKey + (pluginRefreshKey || 0)

P1 — imperative refresh() API + useDataRefresh hook

• ListView converted from React.FC to React.forwardRef<ListViewHandle>
• Exposes refresh() via useImperativeHandle
• ListViewHandle exported from @object-ui/plugin-list
• New reusable useDataRefresh(dataSource, objectName) hook in @object-ui/react — encapsulates refreshKey state + onMutation auto-subscription pattern for any view component

const listRef = useRef<ListViewHandle>(null);
<ListView ref={listRef} schema={schema} />
// after mutation:
listRef.current?.refresh();

// Or use the hook in any custom view:
const { refreshKey, refresh } = useDataRefresh(dataSource, schema.objectName);

P2 — DataSource mutation event bus (all views)

• Added MutationEvent<T> interface and optional onMutation(cb): unsubscribe to DataSource
• All data-bound views now auto-subscribe to mutation events when the DataSource implements onMutation:
  • ListView (@object-ui/plugin-list) — refreshes on matching resource mutations
  • ObjectView (@object-ui/plugin-view) — auto-refreshes non-grid view types on mutations
  • ObjectKanban (@object-ui/plugin-kanban) — auto-refreshes in standalone mode (skips when parent provides external data)
  • ObjectCalendar (@object-ui/plugin-calendar) — auto-refreshes in standalone mode (skips when parent provides external data)
• ValueDataSource emits mutation events on create/update/delete with proper unsubscribe lifecycle

const unsub = dataSource.onMutation?.((event) => {
  if (event.resource === 'contacts') refreshList();
});

Tests

22 new tests: 8 in ListRefresh.test.tsx (refreshTrigger, imperative ref, onMutation auto-refresh, backward compat) + 7 in useDataRefresh.test.ts (hook subscribe/unsubscribe/refresh) + 7 in ValueDataSource.test.ts (emit/subscribe/unsubscribe/bulk). All 748 tests pass across 38 test files.

Note on Root Cause #5 (console boilerplate): The 4 system management pages (User/Org/Role/Permission) still use manual fetchData/setRefreshKey patterns. Refactoring these pages to use ListView+onMutation is a separate, larger scope change recommended for a follow-up PR.

<issue_title>Global: Standardize List Refresh After Mutation (addRecord/create/update/delete) Across All ObjectUI Scenarios</issue_title>
<issue_description>
After thorough code analysis of the entire ObjectUI codebase, I identified this as a platform-level architectural design deficiency, not just a single bug. Here's the complete assessment:

5 Root Causes Identified

#	Root Cause	Affected Packages	Severity
1	No unified event-driven refresh model — DataSource.create/update/delete completes silently; no active views are notified	@object-ui/types, all consumers	🔴 Critical
2	ListView lacks imperative refresh() API — onAddRecord is fire-and-forget, parent cannot signal re-fetch	plugin-list	🔴 Critical
3	refreshKey not propagated — ObjectView.handleFormSuccess increments its own refreshKey, but renderListView renders a ListView with an independent refreshKey	plugin-view ↔ plugin-list	🔴 Critical
4	Schema-level refreshAfter not universally honored — only works in RecordDetailView actions, not in addRecord, bulk ops, lookup quick-create, etc.	plugin-view, plugin-detail, plugin-list	🟡 High
5	Duplicated manual fetchData/setRefreshKey boilerplate — User, Org, Role, Permission pages each hand-roll their own refresh logic	apps/console	🟡 Medium

3-Phase Solution Proposed

Phase	Scope	Key Deliverables
P0 — Immediate Fix	Pass refreshKey through renderListView → ListView + add refreshTrigger prop	Fixes the reported bug
P1 — Imperative API	ListView exposes ref.refresh() via forwardRef + useImperativeHandle; abstract useListRefresh hook	Any parent can trigger refresh
P2 — Event Bus	DataSource.onMutation() subscription; all views auto-refresh on relevant object mutations	Salesforce/Retool/Airtable parity

Industry References

The issue includes design comparisons with:

• Salesforce Lightning — refreshApex / force:refreshView event bus
• Retool — query.trigger() invalidation
• Appsmith — onSuccess → listQuery.run() action chaining
• Airtable — Optimistic insert + server-confirm sync</issue_description>

@copilot 仔细评估是否完成了任务中要求的所有开发

经过全面审计，发现了以下缺失项并已在 d510bbd 中补全：

P1 缺失 — useDataRefresh hook

• 新增 useDataRefresh(dataSource, objectName) hook 于 @object-ui/react，封装 refreshKey 状态 + onMutation 订阅模式，含 7 个测试

P2 缺失 — 仅 ListView 订阅了 onMutation，其余视图未覆盖

• ObjectView (plugin-view) — 新增 onMutation 自动订阅，非 grid 视图类型的数据刷新
• ObjectKanban (plugin-kanban) — 新增独立模式下的 onMutation 订阅（由父组件管理数据时跳过）
• ObjectCalendar (plugin-calendar) — 新增独立模式下的 onMutation 订阅（由父组件管理数据时跳过）

Root Cause #5（console 系统页面重复代码） — 4 个系统管理页面仍使用手动 fetchData/setRefreshKey 模式。此项属于页面级重构，建议独立 PR 处理，避免与架构改动混合。

完整清单：22 个新测试，748 个测试全部通过，42 个构建任务全部成功。

Pull request overview

This PR standardizes “refresh after mutation” behavior across ObjectUI’s data-bound views by introducing a schema-level refresh signal, an imperative refresh API, and a DataSource mutation event bus that views can subscribe to for automatic re-fetching.

Changes:

• Added refreshTrigger?: number to ListViewSchema and wired it into ListView’s data-fetch effect dependencies.
• Introduced DataSource.onMutation() + MutationEvent and implemented emission/subscription (ValueDataSource + ListView/ObjectView/Kanban/Calendar auto-refresh).
• Added ListView imperative ref.refresh() plus a reusable useDataRefresh() hook and associated tests.

DataSource<T> declares onMutation as (event: MutationEvent) => void, which drops the generic T and makes event.record effectively any even for typed data sources. Consider changing this to onMutation?(callback: (event: MutationEvent<T>) => void): () => void so typed adapters (like ValueDataSource<T>) preserve record typing end-to-end.

Suggested change

	onMutation?(callback: (event: MutationEvent) => void): () => void;
	onMutation?(callback: (event: MutationEvent<T>) => void): () => void;

This new onMutation subscription increments refreshKey, but refreshKey is also already incremented in handleFormSuccess/delete handlers. When a DataSource implements onMutation and also those handlers run, this will typically cause double refreshes (and double find() calls) for the same mutation. Suggest gating either the subscription or the manual refreshKey increments behind !dataSource.onMutation (or otherwise dedupe), and include renderListView/currentViewType in the decision so ListView-driven views don’t refresh twice.

Suggested change

	if (!dataSource?.onMutation || !schema.objectName) return;
	const unsub = dataSource.onMutation((event: any) => {
	if (event.resource === schema.objectName) {
	setRefreshKey(prev => prev + 1);
	}
	});
	return unsub;
	}, [dataSource, schema.objectName]);
	// If there is no mutation subscription or no target object, do nothing.
	if (!dataSource?.onMutation || !schema.objectName) return;
	// ListView-driven configurations already manage refreshKey via
	// form success / delete handlers. To avoid double refreshes and
	// duplicate find() calls, do not auto-subscribe in that case.
	if (schema.renderListView) return;
	const unsub = dataSource.onMutation((event: any) => {
	if (event.resource === schema.objectName) {
	setRefreshKey(prev => prev + 1);
	}
	});
	return unsub;
	}, [dataSource, schema.objectName, schema.renderListView]);

ListView now supports both schema.refreshTrigger (external refresh) and dataSource.onMutation (internal auto-refresh). In scenarios like ObjectView embedding ListView, a single mutation can change schema.refreshTrigger and fire onMutation, causing two refreshes/two find() calls. Consider skipping the onMutation subscription when schema.refreshTrigger is provided (or otherwise deduping refresh signals) to avoid redundant fetches.

Suggested change

	if (!dataSource?.onMutation || !schema.objectName) return;
	const unsub = dataSource.onMutation((event) => {
	if (event.resource === schema.objectName) {
	setRefreshKey(k => k + 1);
	}
	});
	return unsub;
	}, [dataSource, schema.objectName]);
	// When an external refreshTrigger is provided, rely on that instead of
	// subscribing to dataSource mutations to avoid double refreshes.
	if (!dataSource?.onMutation || !schema.objectName || schema.refreshTrigger) return;
	const unsub = dataSource.onMutation((event) => {
	if (event.resource === schema.objectName) {
	setRefreshKey(k => k + 1);
	}
	});
	return unsub;
	}, [dataSource, schema.objectName, schema.refreshTrigger]);

All 3 reviewer comments addressed in cd2b176:

1. MutationEvent<T> generic typing — DataSource.onMutation now uses MutationEvent<T> to preserve record type end-to-end for typed adapters like ValueDataSource<T>
2. ObjectView double-refresh dedup — onMutation subscription is skipped when renderListView is provided, since ListView already manages its own refresh via refreshTrigger / form handlers
3. ListView double-refresh dedup — onMutation subscription is skipped when schema.refreshTrigger is provided, since the parent (ObjectView) already signals mutations through the trigger prop
