fix(base): make computed field workflows reliable

[huarenmin13]

Summary

• Make concrete Formula field requests execute and verify the resulting Base state instead of stopping at guidance or examples.
• Add resumable +table-list pagination metadata while preserving the existing response shape.
• Preserve explicit Formula/Lookup semantics across type selection, dependencies, aggregation operands, row relationships, exact predicates, date ordering, datetime precision, requested transformations, and complete branch/fallback behavior.
• Accept +table-list --next-token/--page-token as compatibility aliases for canonical --offset, so agents can resume from meta.pagination.next_token without inventing an unsupported flag.
• Distinguish a missing table-list total from an invalid supplied value: preserve the bounded compatibility fallback only for absence, and fail closed with internal/invalid_response (including the parse cause) for malformed or negative totals.

Why

Formula benchmark failures exposed reusable workflow gaps rather than case-specific engine defects: supported cross-table formulas could be rejected, targets beyond the first table page could be missed, concrete mutations could stop before execution, and generated Lookup/Formula definitions could drift from the user's named type, operand, transformation, branch, or pagination recovery contract. The changes keep these decisions in the Base CLI/skill contract and avoid benchmark IDs, fixed table names, sample tokens, or fixed formulas.

Validation

• make unit-test
• make vet
• make fmt-check
• node scripts/skill-format-check/index.js
• QUALITY_GATE_CHANGED_FROM=515f9f5a4ad914adeb0cace527fe86e2ad2d5211 make quality-gate
• Independent product diff review at current HEAD 84f21ba084bfb8a0d8ce7603909c06a64a42ff3b: PASS, including the invalid-pagination-total fix; no case/prompt/table/formula specialization found.
• AI signature gate: 515f9f5a..84f21ba0 passed for all 17/17 commits.
• CodeRabbit re-reviewed 84f21ba0, acknowledged that the invalid-total finding and regression requirements are covered, and reports SUCCESS on the final head.
• Targeted fresh-copy benchmark coverage before attempt 5: 042, 057, 040, 095, 066, 059/098, and 038 all passed their accepted rounds with final Base readback.
• Full fresh-copy 64-case diagnostic benchmark at 456b07df21919a100fd06e896d5c0fd40c69fb2a: 57/64 full pass; 64/64 execution; 64/64 final Base readback; executor/grader were GPT-5.4 with fallback 0; failing cases were 027, 028, 034, 046, 054, 061, and 090.
• Isolation for that 64-case run: automated audit reported blocking=0, manual=17, metadata_exposure=0; manual review found no actual isolation breach, but this is not an automated PASS.
• Targeted-only reruns used new source-to-distinct-target copies: 046+061 passed 2/2 at 56c76ed6; after the review-driven pagination-total fix, 054 was rerun at exact final HEAD 84f21ba0 and passed 1/1. These rounds had all-case final Base readback, blocking/manual/metadata=0/0/0, GPT-5.4 executor/grader evidence with no fallback, and unchanged source fingerprints after evaluation.
• Source protection after evaluation: attempt 5 remained unchanged for 64/64 sources; the 046+061 and final-head 054 targeted rounds remained unchanged for 2/2 and 1/1 sources.
• User-authorized incremental/composite view: the 57 stable attempt-5 passes plus fresh current-head replacements for 046, 054, and 061 give 60/64 (93.75%). This is explicitly not a new single-round 64-case result. Remaining non-full cases are 027, 028, 034, and 090; the latter three remain grader/spec conflicts and were not turned into product workarounds.

Scope note

This PR supersedes the pagination scope proposed in #2552. It leaves #2552 unchanged and combines that additive pagination contract with the broader computed-field workflow fixes validated here.

Benchmark helper scripts and orchestration changes are excluded from this product PR. The 456b07df 64-case run is a complete diagnostic run, not final acceptance because it finished at 57/64; the targeted-only composite reaches 60/64 under the user's updated acceptance scope, but must not be described as a new 64-case full run.

CodeRabbit's initial review identified one valid edge case: an invalid supplied pagination total could be treated like a missing value and make an empty page appear complete. Commit 84f21ba0 fixes that generically, adds the empty-page regression and cause-preservation assertions, and was independently reviewed before the exact-head 054 rerun above.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Formula and Lookup skill contracts, strengthens execution and verification rules, and updates table-list pagination metadata, continuation aliases, total handling, and invalid-response detection.

Changes

Base action and pagination flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Table-list pagination contract shortcuts/base/helpers.go, shortcuts/base/table_ops.go, shortcuts/base/table_list.go, shortcuts/base/base_ops.go, shortcuts/base/*test.go	Table listing now reports normalized totals and pagination metadata. It supports --next-token and --page-token aliases. Tests cover continuation, total formats, completion, and premature empty pages.
Action execution and authentication boundary skills/lark-base/SKILL.md, shortcuts/base/app_skill_contract_test.go	Supported Base actions must execute through lark-cli. Base URLs use CLI URL resolution. Mutations require final read-back verification.
Formula semantics and precision skills/lark-base/references/lark-base-field-formula.md, skills/lark-base/SKILL.md, shortcuts/base/field_create.go, shortcuts/base/base_shortcuts_test.go, shortcuts/base/app_skill_contract_test.go	Formula guidance and tests preserve requested predicates, transformations, branches, date direction, datetime precision, and paginated table discovery.
Lookup semantics and explicit type policy skills/lark-base/references/lark-base-field-lookup.md, skills/lark-base/references/lark-base-field-update.md, skills/lark-base/SKILL.md, shortcuts/base/app_skill_contract_test.go	Lookup guidance and tests preserve explicit field types, dependencies, relationship operands, aggregate operands, and bounded read-only verification. Type convertibility requires explicit user authorization.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 84f21

Base table listing now reports pagination metadata and rejects malformed totals instead of silently completing with omitted tables. No remaining concrete current-head risk blocks merge.
