+'@object-ui/providers': patch
+---
+
+`@object-ui/providers` no longer declares `@objectstack/spec` as a dependency. Nothing
+in the package imports it, so consumers stop installing it on this package's account
+(objectui#5753).
+
+The edge was live for exactly one release cycle. It was promoted from `devDependencies`
+to `dependencies` when `ThemePreference` was derived from the spec's `ThemeMode` union,
+because the package's public `.d.ts` then referenced the spec. objectui#5716 re-pointed
+that derivation at `@object-ui/types` (`ThemeMode` / `THEME_MODES`), which removed the
+last three import sites — `src/types.ts` and the two retirement-era test files — and
+left the declaration behind with no reader.
+
+Re-measured on `origin/main` at `ad0f5f11f` before removal, with a positive control so
+the empty result is a real absence rather than a broken command: the import-shaped grep
+(`from` / `require(` / `import(` / `vi.mock(` against `@objectstack/spec`, bare name and
+every subpath) returns **0** hits under `packages/providers/` and **434** across
+`packages/` + `apps/` — same command, same invocation. The only surviving mentions in
+the package are the declaration itself, immutable `CHANGELOG.md` history, and a prose
+comment in `tsconfig.test.json` that this change corrects.
+
+No API change and no behaviour change: `dist/types.d.ts` imports only `react` and
+`@object-ui/types`, and no emitted file references a spec symbol. Consumers on an
+isolated `node_modules` (pnpm) never had supported access to the spec through this
+package, so nothing they could legitimately import goes away — the change is to the
+install graph only, which is why it is scored `patch` rather than `minor`.
