When ParseString receives a string literal containing a truncated escape sequence (e.g., a backslash at end of string, or a unicode escape like '\u00' with insufficient hex digits), the parser shall return MalformedValueError.
Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When ParseString receives a string literal containing a truncated escape sequence (e.g., a backslash at end of string, or a unicode escape like '\u00' with insufficient hex digits), the parser shall return MalformedValueError.
the parser shall always satisfy !raw_string_has_truncated_escape_sequence | returns_error_for_truncated_escape_sequence

Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Truncated escape sequences exercise the unescapeToUTF8 and decodeUnicodeEscape boundary conditions where insufficient input length is checked.

MC/DC truth table· 3 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.
