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

The FRETish invariant !set_called_without_path | set_returns_error_without_path is met exactly: Set delegates to setConfig, whose very first guard
if len(keys) == 0 { return nil, KeyPathNotFoundError }(parser.go:1404-1405) returns the documented KeyPathNotFoundError before any mutation is attempted. The description's rationale (Set needs at least one path segment) matches this early return, and TestSetNoPath (deep_spec_test.go:379) asserts errors.Is(err, KeyPathNotFoundError) on{"a":1}with no keys. MCDC Row2 witness additionally exercises the trigger-true/action-true edge.Cited code (3)

Browse the catalogueSet 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.

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.
