ProbeLabs23 findings · 123 requirementsThe fastest JSON parser for Go — formally verified with ReqProof (real library, master).
When Delete is called with an array-element path on input where the array is truncated (e.g., Delete([]byte(`{"a":[1,2`), "a", "[1]")), the parser shall return the original byte payload unchanged and shall not panic.
Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When Delete is called with an array-element path on input where the array is truncated (e.g., Delete([]byte(`{"a":[1,2`), "a", "[1]")), the parser shall return the original byte payload unchanged and shall not panic.
the parser shall always satisfy !delete_array_input_is_truncated | (delete_returns_original_input_on_truncated_array & delete_completes_without_panic_on_truncated_array)
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Array deletion on truncated input exercises the same tokenEnd sentinel pattern as object deletion but through a different code path in Delete (the array branch).
Verification & provenance
How this requirement was checked: the review trail, edit history, and the machine-analysis status terms (each ⓘ explains what it means).

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.

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.
