Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When ParseString encounters a UTF-16 high surrogate escape followed by a second unicode escape whose value is below the low surrogate range (e.g., '\uD800\u0041'), the parser shall substitute U+FFFD (replacement character) for the malformed surrogate sequence and continue parsing, matching encoding/json behavior, rather than producing corrupted output or returning an error.
the parser shall always satisfy !raw_string_has_invalid_low_surrogate | substitutes_replacement_for_invalid_low_surrogate
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
An invalid low surrogate (valid unicode escape but wrong range) exercises a different branch in decodeUnicodeEscape than a completely missing second escape.
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.
