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 intended as an array index but its syntax is malformed, Get shall return the defined not-found result rather than a successful lookup.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !path_segment_is_array_index | array_index_segment_is_valid | returns_invalid_array_index_not_found

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

Malformed array-index syntax is an externally visible path-interpretation case and should not be hidden inside a generic lookup-miss predicate.

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 | returns_invalid_array_index_not_found

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.
returns_invalid_array_index_not_foundTrue when Get reports the defined not-found outcome for a malformed array-index path segment.

MC/DC truth table· 4 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.
