PriorityshallTypeguaranteeCategoryfunctionalComponentparserAssuranceEFindingsnone open

Specification

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

Description

When Delete is called on input that is truncated at a value boundary (the exact PR

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !delete_input_is_truncated_at_value_boundary | (delete_returns_original_input_on_truncated_value & delete_completes_without_panic_on_truncated_value)

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

This is the exact bug class from PR #280. Delete calls tokenEnd on truncated input, gets len(data) back, then uses data[endOffset+tokEnd] which panics with index out of range. This specific truncation pattern for Delete must have its own requirement.

Worst case if violatedCritical

Delete on {"a":1 (the PR-truncation witness) drives internalGet to return stale offsets; the cleanup path slices data[:start] + data[end:] with end > len(data) and panics with slice-out-of-range.

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 !delete_input_is_truncated_at_value_boundary | (delete_returns_original_input_on_truncated_value & delete_completes_without_panic_on_truncated_value)

Variables

NameTypeDirectionDescription
delete_input_is_truncated_at_value_boundaryTrue when Delete is called on input truncated at a value boundary where tokenEnd would return len(data) as a sentinel.
delete_returns_original_input_on_truncated_valueTrue when Delete returns the original byte payload unchanged for input truncated at a value boundary.
delete_completes_without_panic_on_truncated_valueTrue when Delete completes without panicking on input truncated at a value boundary.
