Specification

The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.

Description

When the current path segment is a valid in-bounds array index, Get shall resolve the addressed array element and return it through the normal successful lookup contract.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !path_segment_is_array_index | !array_index_segment_is_valid | !array_index_is_in_bounds | returns_value_from_in_bounds_array_index

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

Array index path segments are part of the documented public lookup contract and are behaviorally distinct from object-key segments.

Obligations

What this requirement must witness to be considered satisfied — the required evidence, and the tests that discharge each one.

No obligations recorded for this requirement

Proof obligations are recorded once evidence is generated. None have been captured here yet — this is expected, not a gap in the requirement itself. A required class of evidence the requirement must witness — the bridge between the requirement existing and it being proven.

Formula evidence

The formal formula behind this requirement, the variables it is written over, and the tests that exercise it (each term is explained inline).

FRETish formula

the parser shall always satisfy !path_segment_is_array_index | !array_index_segment_is_valid | !array_index_is_in_bounds | returns_value_from_in_bounds_array_index

Variables

NameTypeDirectionDescription
path_segment_is_array_indexTrue when the current lookup path segment is interpreted as an array index.
array_index_segment_is_validTrue when the current array-index path segment has valid index syntax.
array_index_is_in_boundsTrue when the addressed array index is within the bounds of the addressed array.
returns_value_from_in_bounds_array_indexTrue when Get resolves a valid in-bounds array-index path segment and returns the addressed element.

MC/DC truth table· 5 rows

Each row assigns the formula's conditions (T/F) and shows the Result— the formula's value for that input row, not a test pass/fail. A row proves a condition when flipping only that condition flips the outcome. The test that covers each row is linked.
