+Comment-only correction in `packages/app-shell/src/preview/DraftChangesPanel.tsx`. The block above the `/meta` spelling fold stated that this file's `@objectstack/spec/shared` import puts that subpath on the console's eager graph, and attached a byte figure and a prohibition to that claim. Ablation on `origin/main` shows the import is worth ~+285 bytes gzipped: the subpath is held eager by a runtime import inside `@objectstack/core`, upstream of this repo. The comment now records the mechanism and points at the upstream card. No source behaviour is touched and no published behaviour changes.

 // The `/meta` URL-spelling fold (objectstack#7894, #8424), applied once in

-// DraftPreviewBar — is +213.4 KB minified / +60.1 KB gzipped, on a graph that
-// already holds the spec entries app-shell imports statically (`/ui`,
-// `/kernel`): each published spec subpath is a self-contained bundle and

+//
+// CORRECTED, and the correction matters more than the number. An earlier
+// version of this comment stated that this import puts `@objectstack/spec/shared`
+// on the console's EAGER graph, at +213.4 KB minified / +60.1 KB gzipped. The
+// attribution is false: that cost was never this import's. Measured by ablation
+// on `origin/main` at 0fce2ef81 (2026-08-24) — delete this import, rebuild
+// `apps/console`, read the `eagerGzipBytes` in `dist/eager-closure.json` — the
+// eager closure moves +285 bytes gzipped, i.e. minifier noise. Read that figure
+// as what it is, one tree on one day; the full measurement, with the
+// counter-probes that discriminate it, is recorded on objectui#5359.
+//
+// The MECHANISM is the part that survives the next release. `/shared` is held on
+// the eager graph by an edge upstream of this repo: `@objectstack/core`, shipped
+// inside `@objectstack/client` and a direct dependency of `apps/console`, has a
+// runtime `import { pluralToSingular } from '@objectstack/spec/shared'`. Every
+// OTHER importer of `/shared` in objectui's own source is type-only and erased
+// at build, so ablating this one still leaves the subpath in the eagerly loaded
+// `vendor-objectstack` chunk. Deferring or deleting this import therefore moves
+// ~nothing while that edge stands, and the lever lives at the producer — it is
+// tracked in objectstack#11503.
+//
+// Still true, and still why laziness is not the local answer: each published
+// spec subpath is a self-contained bundle and nothing tree-shakes it
+// (`@objectstack/spec` declares no `sideEffects`), and the console's
 // `vendor-objectstack` chunk group claims every `@objectstack/*` module except
-// `@objectstack/lint`, and that group's chunk is a static import of the app
-// entry (objectui#5266). Tracked in objectui#5359.
+// `@objectstack/lint`, that group's chunk being a static import of the app entry
+// (objectui#5266). So an `await import()` here would relocate nothing either.
