When Set is called without any key path, the parser shall return KeyPathNotFoundError because Set requires at least one path segment to identify the mutation target.

Specification

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

Description

When Set is called without any key path, the parser shall return KeyPathNotFoundError because Set requires at least one path segment to identify the mutation target.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !set_called_without_path | set_returns_error_without_path

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

Set without a path is a distinct edge case from Delete without a path (which returns empty). Set returns an error, Delete returns empty document. Both no-path behaviors must be explicitly specified.

Worst case if violatedLow

Set with no path returns a byte slice or panics in findKeyStart at data[0] instead of returning KeyPathNotFoundError, mutating the wrong memory or crashing on empty input.
