Summary
- Remove the evictViewMetadataForViewIds step from the page-layout reset
flow. It synchronously cleared viewFields/viewFieldGroups rows from the
metadata store, leaving a window where
useFieldsWidgetGroups saw a view with no fields and fell back to
buildDefaultFieldsWidgetGroups, briefly rendering a synthetic "General"
+ "Other" layout before the real reset defaults
arrived.
- invalidateMetadataStore() alone is sufficient: it marks the
collections stale and triggers MinimalMetadataLoadEffect to refetch,
which replaces current atomically. The UI now
transitions old-layout → new-default with no synthetic flash.
- Simplified refreshPageLayoutAfterReset to no longer take a
collectAffectedViewIds callback, and updated both tab/widget reset call
sites plus ObjectLayout.tsx accordingly.
- Deleted the now-unused evictViewMetadataForViewIds and
collectViewIdsFromWidgets utils.
## Context
Moving isActive filtering to the frontend for page layout tabs and
widgets, hiding inactive entities from the UI while keeping them in
state for future reactivation
Next we will implement deactivated standard tab re-activation during tab
creation (cc @Devessier)

## Context
- Add "Reset to default" for page layout tabs and widgets — backend
mutation resets overrides, reactivates deactivated children, and deletes
custom children
- Fix override write bug where mutating an overridable property (e.g.
widget title) on a standard-app entity incorrectly overwrote the base
column instead of writing to the overrides JSONB —
PageLayoutUpdateService now uses resolveFlatEntityOverridableProperties
for accurate diffing and routes properties through
sanitizeOverridableEntityInput
- Deprecate isOverridden - We need more time to think about this
feature. Currently this adds too much complexity for a very small
benefit
