Specification

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

Description

When EachKey encounters a tokenEnd sentinel value (len(data)) during multi-path scanning, the parser shall treat it as an end-of-input condition and return -1 or error rather than using it as an unchecked array index.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !eachkey_tokenEnd_sentinel_reached | eachkey_handles_sentinel_safely

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

EachKey uses searchKeys and Get internally. The same tokenEnd sentinel patterns that caused PR

Worst case if violatedCritical

EachKeys uses the tokenEnd sentinel len(data) as an array index into data[] during multi-path scan (e.g. data[tokenEnd(offset)]), panicking with index-out-of-range instead of returning -1.
