Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When ParseString receives an empty byte slice, the parser shall return an empty Go string without error because an empty string body (content between quotes) is a valid string representation.
the parser shall always satisfy !parsestring_input_is_empty | returns_parsestring_identity_for_empty

Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Empty string input to ParseString (representing the body of '""') is a valid edge case that should produce an empty Go string, not an error.
Verification & provenance

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.
