 # Changelog — @ai-matrx/records
 
+## 0.45.0
+
+**One coercion primitive: what a typed-in answer means to a Field, in one place.**
+
+AGENT-BUILDS-2's closing walk, 2026-09-21, found Ironclad Mobile Mechanic's public booking
+page **unbookable over any table with a number field**. A customer picked 2:00 PM, typed a
+2019 Honda CR-V, pressed "Book it" and read:
+
+> Vehicle Year takes a number, and it was given a string
+
+and got no appointment. A browser input hands over a STRING; a Field takes a value. The
+grid's paste and the CSV import each carried their own coercion — the two doors a STRANGER
+uses carried none.
+
+New, headless, and now the only body that answers the question:
+
+- **`fieldKindFor(field, kernel)`** — the ONE classifier (behaviour, modifiers, format, unit,
+  relation target, config). `@ai-matrx/records-ui`'s `editorKindFor` is this function with
+  the kernel File/Person ids bound, so the editor a person types into and the coercion
+  applied to what they typed cannot disagree about a column.
+- **`coerceTypedAnswer(field, raw, opts)`** — one string → the Field's value, or a refusal
+  naming the field **in plain words**, never its key. It coerces and never guesses: `0` for
+  "about twelve" is how a table quietly becomes untrue.
+- **`coerceTypedAnswers(fields, answers, opts)`** — a whole screen at once. Values already
+  of the right shape are left alone; keys the table has no Field for are REPORTED rather
+  than dropped, because naming an unknown key is the store's sentence to say.
+- **`CoercibleField`** — the structural shape the primitive needs, so `CaptureField` and the
+  Field documents `custom.form_public` / `custom.booking_public` publish to a stranger all
+  satisfy it. Demanding a whole `Field` is how the capture sheet kept its own `Number(raw)`.
+- **`FIELD_KINDS`** — the runtime list `FieldKind` is derived from, so a coverage test walks
+  the source of truth rather than a retyped copy.
+- **`ChoiceOptions`** moved here from records-ui, which re-exports it.
+
+*Consumer action:* none required — everything is additive. A host that coerces typed-in text
+itself should delete that code and call `coerceTypedAnswer`.
+
 ## 0.43.0
 
 **The realtime port stops being half a contract, and a nudge re-reads only what moved.**
