cupertino-files / OwnerKind

Variable: OwnerKind

const OwnerKind: object

Defined in: src/tsce/owners.ts:117

owner_kind — what a derived owner belongs to.

Apple publishes no enum for this, but it does not need to: every derived owner is used by a field somewhere, and matching each field's UUID back to its owner entry names the kind. Nine of the thirteen values in the corpus were established that way, each unanimous across every file that exercises it. The counts below are the evidence.

Kinds 6, 7, 10 and 12 occur (32, 41, 44 and 28 times) with no field in this repository's protos pointing at them. They are left unnamed rather than guessed; naming one means finding the field that uses it, the same way the others were found.

Type Declaration

CATEGORIES

readonly CATEGORIES: 8 = 8

Formulas backing categories (row grouping).

CONDITIONAL_STYLE

readonly CONDITIONAL_STYLE: 3 = 3

Formulas backing conditional-formatting rules.

DOCUMENT

readonly DOCUMENT: 200 = 200

The document as a whole, not any table.

Recognisable without knowing the enum: every kind-200 owner in every corpus file — 23 of them, across all three apps and every era — has the same identity, uid = 666 derived from base = 466. Real owners get random 128-bit UUIDs; this is a hardcoded sentinel, which is why it names no table and should not be reported as an unresolved one.

HAUNTED

readonly HAUNTED: 35 = 35

Apple's "haunted owner" for the table.

HIDDEN_STATE_COLUMNS

readonly HIDDEN_STATE_COLUMNS: 11 = 11

Formulas backing column hiding.

HIDDEN_STATE_ROWS

readonly HIDDEN_STATE_ROWS: 4 = 4

Formulas backing row hiding — filters and manual hides.

MERGE

readonly MERGE: 5 = 5

Formulas backing merged cell ranges.

SUMMARY_AGGREGATES

readonly SUMMARY_AGGREGATES: 9 = 9

Formulas backing a category's summary aggregates.

TABLE

readonly TABLE: 1 = 1

The table itself. Carries the formula_owner reference.
